In order to feel at ease, I rode my horse straight into the city and went to the government office to transfer the land. By the time I finished all this, it was almost dark.
If it weren't for the fact that Li Jingchen was the deputy general, the people in the yamen would not bother to care!
After buying this land, Li Jingchen’s small treasury was completely out of money, and the silver that the emperor had rewarded him was used up.
But looking at this piece of land that belongs to him, Li Jingchen smiled with relief. It’s so good to be alive.
Seeing that there was no one around, Jiang Tuantuan put the chickens in the chicken coop into the space and put them on the trading mall.
Meishihei would always ask when the chickens would be sold. Jiang Tuantuan had been dragging it out for nearly half a year, and now the chickens are finally available again.
As soon as Li Jingchen saw that the chickens in the chicken coop were gone, he knew that she had been given to a friend in another world. "Tuantuan, is your friend still here?"
Jiang Tuantuan looked at him and shook his head. The two of them looked at each other, then turned their heads away together.
It seems he's gone.
On the way home in the evening, Li Jingchen said, "I finally bought the land. Are you happy?"
Jiang Tuantuan gave Li Jingchen a smile and said, "It's only 40 acres of land. Who should I ask to farm it? No one in my family can go."
Li Jingchen thought for a moment and said, "It would be better to hire a few permanent workers."
As soon as he got home, Yubao came over to greet his parents in a staggering manner.
She called out in a baby voice, "Mom, Dad."
At this time, Yubao was so well-behaved and cute that Jiang Tuantuan was very fond of him. She picked him up and said, "Do you miss your mother? Your mother misses you very much."
"I thought about it."
After saying that, Yubao kissed Jiang Tuantuan on the face.
Feng Xiaoli came out of the house and said, "Tuantuan, Mai Wu sent you a letter. Come and take a look."
Ji took the letter and read it quickly. Jiang Tuantuan cried out in surprise, "Brother Dahu is gone!"
Feng Xiaoli said, "How is this possible? He was so young, how could he just disappear like that?"
Jiang Tuantuan wept bitterly, "It's true. The illness came like a mountain, and the butcher's stall is closed. Mai Wu said Erlaizi's family is having a hard time right now. He's the only male child, they don't have much land, and their child is just a newborn."
Li Jingchen said, "Tuantuan, weren't we just talking about the farmhand thing? Why don't we let Erlaizi and his family come to the capital? Being a farmhand wouldn't be bad either."
Jiang Tuantuan thought that this was a good idea, but he didn't know whether Erlaizi's family was willing to leave the place where they grew up. However, he still wrote back to Mai Wu and wrote down his idea.
When Mai Wu received the letter, Jiang An and Jiang Li had also finished their exams and were waiting for the results to come out in half a month before returning to Beijing. During this half month, Jiang Dafeng finally gave them a vacation.
Jiang Li returned to the back mountain of Daping Village. He wanted to take another look at this original place.
Jiang An took his pen, ink, paper and inkstone and went to paint.
After reading the letter, Mai Wu sighed that his boss was really kind-hearted, and went to Daping Village with the letter.
I happened to meet Jiang Li on the way, and the two of us went to the back mountain together.
When I got to the back mountain, I saw Erlaizi feeding the chickens and Ertou hoeing the ground.
Mai Wu called Er Laizi aside and told him everything.
After listening to it, Erlaizi understood that Mai Wu was doing this for his own good, so he wrote a letter to Jiang Tuantuan to express his gratitude to Mai Wu.
"Thank you very much. I need to think about this matter again. I will discuss it with Dafang's mother-in-law when I get home."
Mai Wu smiled and said, "It's okay, don't worry, think about it carefully."
When leaving, Jiang Li did not leave. He wanted to live in the thatched hut again.
The thatched hut was renovated by Erlaizi and it is not as dilapidated as before. At least it can still protect against wind and rain.
Erlaizi thought about it for an entire afternoon but couldn't make up his mind. Having grown up in Daping Village, he seldom even went to the county town, and every time he went there was to deliver goods. He had never been to any place farther away.
The capital city is the most prosperous place. Er Laizi feels longing for it but also a little scared.
Er Laizi and Jiang Li sat on the mountainside. "Jiang Li, do you think I should go?"
Jiang Li said calmly, "You still have to decide your own future, but I think when people reach a desperate situation, they might as well try another path. Maybe there will be unexpected surprises."
"Life must go on, and people must always look forward. We cannot always dwell on the past and stay where we are. We must move forward."
Er Laizi seemed to be thinking about something. "Thank you, Jiang Li. I understand."
When he returned home in the evening and had dinner, Erlaizi told everyone about this matter.
Dafang said, "You are the man of the family, I will listen to you."
"Mom, what about you?"
Zhang Dahu's wife said calmly, "I'm not from Daping Village to begin with. Now that your father is gone, the only thing I have left is you. Wherever you go, I'll go."
Things went smoothly. The next day, Er Laizi told Mai Wu about it. Mai Wu was happy for Er Laizi and said, "Your choice must be right."
Jiang Tuantuan was very happy when he received the news that Erlaizi was coming to the capital. Because Erlaizi was gone, the back mountain would be completely taken care of by Ertou. Jiang Tuantuan decided to start giving the four people monthly wages from next month, one or two taels of silver per person per month.
When the four heard the news, they were so happy that they couldn't sleep for several nights. They really didn't expect that they would also have monthly wages and be rich. Because of the monthly wages, they signed a five-year contract.
Mai Feng and Madden will also return to Beijing this time.
Jiangyue Pavilion was looked after by Mai Wu.
The twenty acres of land from Erlaizi's family were also handed over to the village chief's family. The village chief's family had many male members, so they could cultivate another twenty acres of land. They agreed to split the harvest in half.
Because there are so many chickens in the back mountain, I will bring fifty chickens with me to raise when I go to Beijing this time.
For this purpose, several bodyguards were specially hired to follow him.
Er Laizi was hurriedly packing his luggage. The results of Jiang Li and Jiang An were finally out. There was no doubt that both of them passed the exam and ranked in the top ten.
Jiang An said proudly: "See, I am so smart that I can pass any test."
Jiang Dafeng punched Jiang An directly and said, "Don't be complacent. You have to prepare for the provincial school exam in June. You have to study harder during this period."
Jiang An couldn't laugh anymore.
A group of people went into the city together on this sunny day.
Because the team was so large, people on the street looked over.
Er Laizi held his son in his arms and said, "Fufu, are you happy that we are going to the capital?"
Fu Fu was only one year old and could only call his parents. So he sucked his fingers, tilted his head, and stared blankly at Er Laizi.
Dafang thought silently in her heart, it’s over, my son will become as stupid as his father when he grows up!
Three days later, they finally arrived in the capital, and Jiang Tuantuan was waiting outside the city early in the morning.
Seeing that the large group of people had finally arrived, he smiled with relief.
Everyone is finally here.
Jiang Tuantuan first took everyone to the fields outside the city and barely crammed the chickens into the chicken coop.
Erlaizi and his group also put down their luggage. Since they had been tired all day, it would be better to have dinner together tomorrow.
The rest of the people followed Jiang Tuantuan into the city.
