Chapter 87 Family Composition
Winter.
Kaner Village.
Jiang Mianmian only now knows the name of her village, which is Kaner Village.
Kan means stairs, right? A village with many stairs?
It feels like a slightly unlucky village, and Kaner seems to be an obstacle.
But listening to the villagers saying Kaner Kaner in their tone, it seems to be very nice.
It's getting dark.
The wind outside is like a baby crying.
Sobbing non-stop.
Jiang Mianmian's family eats dinner around the table.
Because it's very cold in winter, she rarely goes out for a walk in the village, and doesn't know what the village is like.
But at dinner time, she would listen to her family chatting, and it seemed that there have been great changes.
Of course, the most intuitive change is the change in her own family.
My elder sister and brother sleep in separate rooms.
My elder sister has an independent room.
There is an extra small cabinet to hide things.
The pair of beautiful embroidered shoes with beads were no longer placed on the bedside, but in the drawer of the cabinet. Jiang Mianmian could not open the drawer casually. If she did, her elder sister would get angry with her.
But her elder sister was just a show-off, so she would just yell at her at most.
Jiang Mianmian would stand there and act pitiful, with her big eyes getting wet after blinking. Then her elder sister would immediately feel sorry for her loud voice and apologize to her.
Jiang Mianmian didn't know why she had such a strange skill without any instruction.
Her elder brother also had a separate room.
There was a desk, a wooden window, and a bed.
Two more rooms were added to the house.
Now her home has yards in the front, back, left and right.
Father and mother Jiang Mianmian have a room, and Jiang Mianmian has an extra small bed.
Her elder sister has a room, her elder brother has a room, a storage room, and a room for entertaining guests.
When villagers come to see my father, if there is wind or rain, they will go to this room for entertaining guests.
The big tree facing the door has a good view.
The room is relatively simple.
There are just a few cushions and a table.
There is no cabinet, but there is a shelf with a few books on it.
Every villager who comes in and sees the books will be very respectful.
In this era, books are very precious, and are often the secrets of big families that are not passed on to outsiders.
Ordinary people cannot understand the books because they have no chance to learn.
Each family regards them as heirlooms.
So the two young masters of Baoma who sent books to Jiang Mianmian's family were really good people.
I don't know what happened now.
In ancient times, the carriages were really slow and the journeys were long. Jiang Mianmian could walk now, but they didn't receive any letters. Hey, they were so young, they should not die.
The books displayed in the guest room were re-copied by my brother.
In addition to the improvement of living conditions at home, the second most obvious improvement is in food.
Now there is a dry meal every day.
Jiang Mianmian was a little worried that my sister would eat too much, her face would be too round, and she would be too fat to get married.
It seems that she was worrying too much. At this time, if there is a fat girl in any family, it is very easy to get married.
It is much easier to get married than those weak girls.
Many people have come to the house to ask about my sister's opinion.
My father and mother are not in a hurry.
My sister is even less anxious.
Jiang Mianmian admires my father very much. It feels that my father can sell out the whole village by himself, and everyone has to give him money.
Anyway, after the death of Mr. Liu's family, her family will be the biggest beneficiary.
Their status in the village seemed to be different, but they did not move to Liu Laoye's house, although the villagers sincerely invited them.
Dad only asked the villagers to help repair the house.
Liu Laoye's courtyard became the place where the villagers gathered to practice martial arts.
Dad was in charge of inspecting other houses. If there were people in the village whose houses were too bad, about to collapse, or could not survive the winter, they moved to Liu Laoye's house.
The mansion was soon divided.
It became like a big compound.
Everyone was very grateful to Dad and felt that he was different from others. If someone else got promoted, they would definitely be reluctant to give up Liu Laoye's mansion. However, Mr. Jiang was kind-hearted and thought about the whole village. He kept all the good places for the villagers.
Dad also reserved some places, saying that it depends on everyone's performance. If they perform well, they can also be used as rewards.
It is said that the land can be divided after the spring, and everyone is working hard to find work to do, trying to perform better.
In fact, when Jiang Mianmian was listening to the corner of the bed, she heard her father and mother explain: "There are too many dead people in that place, it is unlucky, the view is not good, and it is too easy to be attacked. We are not in a hurry, so we don't live there yet."
Anyway, now the whole village praises her father for all his goodness.
It feels like her father is the reincarnation of a great philanthropist.
Everyone also praises her mother, saying that she is diligent and virtuous.
They praise her brother, saying that he is young and promising, and he is righteous. He leads the whole village to practice swordsmanship, which is very good. They
also praise her sister, saying that she is round and blessed...
Of course, they also praise Jiang Mianmian, praising her for being beautiful and like her father.
Jiang Mianmian felt like her family had become the new Liu Lao Ye, or maybe it was Jiang Lao Ye's feeling.
She experienced a small class leap.
Jiang Mianmian felt like she had become the daughter of a small landlord, and her life was a little better.
When you have a high status, you are surrounded by kind and gentle people.
At least that's the case in the village.
Dinner.
The family still ate attentively.
Dad picked out the vegetables to eat.
Jiang Mianmian had extra minced meat and egg custard rice, which also had some wild vegetable scraps.
She also drank the wild vegetable and minced meat soup cooked by her mother.
Her elder sister ate very seriously and didn't talk much while eating.
Her elder brother also ate very seriously. His appetite increased and he exercised a lot, so he ate a lot.
Actually, he could eat a lot before, but he didn't eat very full at every meal. His face was not thin like her mother, but his body was very thin. He
has slowly become stronger in the past six months. Now
that the whole family can eat their fill, they feel that life is very good and stable.
After dinner.
This is the time that Jiang Mianmian likes the most.
At this time, the family will sit together and chat.
This habit feels good.
She can also know some things about the outside world by the way.
The eldest brother Jiang Feng spoke first: "Dad, I heard that the bandits in Jishan County have attacked the second county and are very close to the city. Now everyone in the county is in panic. My friends want to move to our village. Is that okay?"
Jiang Changtian nodded: "Yes, let them bring their families over and pick out some smart ones to get information outside. When they come to our village, they will follow the new regulations of the village. See if there are any smart boys, and you can bring them back."
Jiang Yu said: "Dad, A Cui said she is getting married, can you come to preside over it?"
Jiang Changtian nodded.
But he looked at the round-faced Yu Jie'er and said: "Wait until spring, Dad will hire a female teacher for you, and you can learn something."
Jiang Yu: ...
Qin Luoxia echoed: "You have to learn something."
Jiang Mianmian was gloating on the side, roar, roar, she doesn't need it, she is still young.
Then I heard my father say, "Your sister is also going to be enlightened."
Jiang Mianmian: ...
Jiang Mianmian was pulled into the arms of her eldest brother.
"Dad, will the city be taken down?" Jiang Feng asked, touching his sister's head with a worried look.
Jiang Mianmian was also curious, looking up with her eyes wide open.
Dad said, "Yes, it should be soon."
Jiang Yu's eyes were full of stars. Dad was so powerful that he knew such far-away things at home. I wonder if Dad knew about the restaurants in the city. I heard that there was a restaurant in the city called Yiwan Guobuguo, and the meat inside was so delicious that it was deadly.
"Husband, what should we do then?" Qin Luoxia asked in a panic. She had a natural fear and panic about war.
Jiang Changtian grabbed his wife's hand, rubbed it and said, "It makes no difference. We will listen to whoever comes."
Jiang Mianmian nodded. Yes, yes, yes, Dad is right. The things in the prefecture are too far away from their village and have nothing to do with them.
Jiang Feng changed the position of the hand that was rubbing his sister's head, and rubbed his fingers from the back of her head upwards.
"Dad, then let's take people to attack the county city, but we need to cooperate inside and outside. My friends and I have inquired. As long as we take down the county government, those rich families will not dare to do anything. They will just take care of their own lives. When the government office is taken down by the rebels, they will definitely need new men." Jiang Feng said with sparkling eyes.
Jiang Changtian tapped his son's head: "We won't do anything against justice. We want to live a good life. Don't mention fighting and killing. Remember, we didn't raid the bandits' lair to get weapons or steal things. Those are just incidental. The main purpose is to benefit the villagers and the merchants passing by. We must have a legitimate reason for doing things."
Jiang Feng understood and nodded: "Then if there is chaos in the county, can we help to stabilize it?"
Jiang Changtian nodded: "Yes."
Jiang Mianmian: ...
I suddenly feel that the daughter of a landlord has only been a landlord for a short time, and she may soon become the daughter of a bandit. The family composition changes too quickly...
