Chapter 263 Discovery of Mountain Spring Water

On the other side, the Jiang family had just returned to the house when the villagers came to deliver bamboo tubes.

Bamboo sticks are in urgent need.

Zhang Jinlan selected a few people with good tempers and asked them to make bamboo sticks instead, which would be delivered every day. Otherwise, they would have to rely on Wang Taohua's family alone.

It's just not enough.

BBQ is not like mung bean soup.

One customer alone can order more than ten.

At least a thousand can be sold in a day.

After changing to making bamboo sticks, not only did I make money every day, but I also tripled my income.

It’s more than what you can earn by doing odd jobs in town.

These people were so excited that they almost knelt down in front of Zhang Jinlan.

As for those who were not selected, they did not cause any trouble because Zhang Jinlan drew cakes for them.

It was said that whoever performed well would be added to make bamboo sticks.

These people flattered the Jiang family more and more.

Jiang Fubao didn't just sit there stupidly when he got home.

She ran to the land she had just bought and watched the two servants working.

The newly purchased land is not connected.

Some are in the east and some are in the west.

Crossing the wooden bridge, Jiang Fubao saw that the land on the east had been plowed, while on the west, there were two familiar figures standing, one waving a hoe and the other plowing the land with a plow.

"Brother Da Meng, Brother Da Cheng, grandma is calling you to go back~"

After a tiring day, even an old cow needs a rest.

"Okay! Let's go back now." Jiang Cheng replied.

After hearing what Jiang Fubao said, he did not immediately go back with the hoe, but plowed and hoeed the remaining land with Jiang Meng before leaving.

"Young Miss, don't call us brother from now on. We are servants and you are the master. We cannot bear it if you call us that. Besides, it will not be good for you if others hear it. Just call me Da Cheng from now on."

Jiang Cheng walked behind Jiang Fubao, thought for a while, and finally said it.

He was a slave.

How could he let his master call him brother?

Don’t say that you can’t afford it.

If outsiders hear it, it will damage the young lady's reputation.

"Okay, from now on I'll call you Da Meng and Da Cheng."

Jiang Fubao nodded and agreed readily. She did not make a fuss about the matter.

Because she didn't want to bring the modern idea of ​​equality of all people here at all.

If everyone is truly equal, we shouldn't buy people off.

While enjoying the service from others, he told them that everyone was equal and that they could call each other brothers and sisters from now on.

Isn’t it ridiculous?

It's like a rich lady giving a meat bun to a beggar on the street and saying to him, you and I are equal.

But a beggar is still a beggar, and a young lady is still a young lady. What has changed?

It is impossible to achieve equality for everyone in modern times, let alone here.

She is just a little farm girl, she doesn't have any extraordinary ability to change the world, she just wants to live her own life.

Let the family have enough food and clothing and never worry about money.

That's all.

Jiang Fubao walked forward in silence.

Return home.

She found that the villagers who delivered the bamboo tubes had already left.

Grandma and her aunts were cooking in the kitchen.

The uncles went to the mountain to chop firewood, dad was moving tables and chairs with grandpa, and the two sisters were helping to pick beans.

The brothers were not idle either.

Serving bowls, washing chopsticks, everyone is working.

"I'm back. Put the farm tools in the utility room. You two can go back to the house and rest for a while. I'll call you for dinner later."

Jiang Shoujia raised his head and spoke to Jiang Meng and Jiang Cheng who were behind his granddaughter.

"Yes, sir."

They both answered at the same time.

"Sister Fubao, the phoenix is ​​back~" Just when Jiang Fubao was still thinking about the issue of equality for all, he heard the voice of Sister Ruyi coming from the backyard.

She quickly stretched out her short legs and ran over.

"Where have you been, you stinky phoenix? I haven't seen you for two days. I thought you were lost."

The moment when the baby and the bird looked at each other.

The phoenix flew onto Jiang Fubao's arm.

[I went to the mountains and there are many beasts there. Master, you must not go to the mountains. I saw a big grizzly bear. It was so big, even bigger than the door of your house.]

Jiang Fubao's shield has been opened.

Hearing Phoenix's thoughts, she swallowed.

Previously, she took her family to the mountains in order to retrieve eggs and other items from the space.

It's really too risky.

The grizzly bear that Phoenix was talking about was probably the one that ate Wang’s son before.

The door of my house is at least two meters high.

It’s bigger than a door. Could this grizzly bear be three meters tall?

If you encounter a bear in the mountains, there is no way to escape. Bears can not only climb trees and run fast, but also have thick skin, so they are able to fight and withstand heavy attacks.

I'm afraid five people can't take on a grizzly bear.

"Phoenix, have you seen any water in the past two days?"

Jiang Fubao asked again.

The only river in the village is almost drying up.

When she passed the wooden bridge just now, she found that the water in the river was only a shallow layer.

As a result, there were many dead fish the size of little fingers on the slopes on both sides of the river, which had been sunburned to death.

Once the river dries up completely.

If the villagers wanted drinking water, they could only go to the big river far away outside Zhangjia Village to fetch water, or go to the groundwater she discovered in the mountains last time to dig.

The latter is definitely not an option. The mountains are so dangerous. Don’t lose your life just for a bucket of water.

[I saw it. Walking from the bottom of the mountain to the west and north, there is a pond. It flows down from the deep mountains along the cracks in the rocks. I even took a sip of it. It was sweet.]

The phoenix opened its beak, but no sound came out.

Jiang Fubao understood its expression.

This is the aftertaste.

Jiang Ruyi, who was standing by, saw her sister talking to Niao enthusiastically, so she didn't interrupt them and just watched silently.

Until grandpa called us to eat.

Then they took Phoenix to the front of the yard.

"Dad, Mom, I went to the river to fetch water just now, and found that the water was almost dry. At this rate, we can only bring water back from the shop, or go to the big river outside Zhangjia Village to fetch water."

While eating, Jiang Yahe suddenly remembered something.

He looked up and said to his parents.

"No, the water in that river is too turbid and dirty. When I was young, two children in the village drank water from that river and got sick and died. It's okay for adults to drink it, but not for children. What if their bodies can't stand it? We should bring back water from the well in the shop, a bucket every day."

Zhang Jinlan recalled the scenes from her childhood.

She shook her head.

That big river is not only used by humans and animals for drinking, but because it is located downstream, the water itself is polluted. People from the two surrounding villages wash their clothes and urine buckets there, and even their feces buckets are washed there. It is extremely dirty.

Fortunately, my family bought a shop, and there was plenty of water in the well in the backyard.

Even if the river in the village dries up, our family can still survive until next year.

I’m afraid it won’t rain next year.

It's really God's will that they die.

Except for the innocent children, the adults all had no appetite for this meal.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Fubao told her the news that Feng Huang had told her.
