Chapter 167: Trouble arises
Niu quickly said: "Don't worry, there is food at home."
"Recently, I have been buying big bones to stew in soup, and my food is much better than before. These are specially made for you."
“Don’t be dissatisfied with home-made things.”
"Thanks to Zhiluo, otherwise the spring plowing work would have been affected. Now we have planted food in the fields at home. There is no need to delay anything. I am still working in your fields and getting paid every day. I feel so sad.
I don’t know how to thank you all..."
Mr. Niu said a lot of things and insisted on leaving the things behind.
Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Niu pushed each other for a while.
Jiang Zhiluo knew that people in the village were like this, and had to give way for a long time when given something.
The people in the village are warm and sincere, and they give things sincerely.
If you don't want something, you really don't want it. I think everyone's conditions are not very good, so I feel bad after accepting the things.
In the end, things were left behind.
Jiang Zhiluo thought for a moment, then went to the house and brought out a small bowl of chili meat sauce and gave it to Niu.
Nor can anyone go back empty-handed.
Mr. Niu didn't want it no matter what, but Jiang Zhiluo persisted stubbornly, so Mr. Niu could only take it and say thank you again and again.
When Mrs. Niu left, Mrs. Cui saw her off and walked her to the door. The two of them chatted at the door for a long time.
"Sister Cui, I was really rude in the past. I want to apologize to you."
"Looking at what you said, we used to be neighbors, and you were always eager to help me with anything, so why bother about this."
"Sister Cui, I think you are very good, and your Zhiluo is also capable. You will enjoy the blessings in the future."
"Yes, my Zhiluo is smart and capable..." Balabala said a lot of compliments.
Jiang Zhiluo listened in the yard and kept twitching the corners of her mouth.
Mr. Niu said enthusiastically: "You don't have to worry about the work in your field. I heard Shan Mao's father say that everyone is very diligent and conscientious when farming, and no one is lazy. To be honest, I am grateful to your family for giving this
Come alive."
Cui La denied being modest and said: "We would like to thank the people in the village for helping us with the work."
Niu said: "You can't say that. You paid the wages. After the spring plowing and planting of food, everyone has nothing to do. With such a job and getting paid every day, everyone is not only happy but also grateful to you..."
After talking for a long time, Niu said: "By the way, Sister Cui, are the bricks in your yard always being piled up and not being used?"
"There is a little left over from building the house. Let's see if we can build something in the yard later."
In this way, they chatted a lot, and the parents in the village also chatted for a while.
Jiang Zhiluo knew that there were no entertainment activities for people in the village. There was no Internet TV here, and everyone liked to talk more when they had nothing to do.
But when she looked at the bricks in the corner, her expression changed.
It was a few bricks left over from building the house.
Suddenly Jiang Zhiluo had an idea, and she said excitedly: "Yes, we can build a bread kiln against the wall in the yard."
Why didn't she think of it?
I really want to thank Mr. Niu for casually mentioning these bricks just now.
Although there was no cement in this era, people used to use mixed mud as an adhesive when building houses.
So just get some yellow mud and grass to make a mixed slurry and use it as an adhesive between the bricks.
There is it at the foot of Huangni Mountain, she can go get some.
Jiang Zhiluo was a little excited and wished she could get some yellow mud right away.
But I thought Jian Yunyin might come soon, so I held back.
But even if you build a bread kiln, it will take about three days before you can bake bread.
Sure enough, Jian Yunyin came after a while.
When Jian Yunyin came in the morning, the door was closed and she didn't see what was inside.
This time I entered the house and saw the inside. I felt that although the yard did not have a rockery or pond, it was clean and spacious, and a field was cultivated next to it.
Some vegetables sprouted out, but she couldn't even name them.
But it looks good.
She was also happy for Jiang Zhiluo.
Jiang Zhiluo took her to the living room to talk.
Jian Yunyin's female coachman and bodyguard drove the carriage to rest in the yard.
Jiang Zhiluo said: "There are many rooms in the house now. Can you let your guard go to the next room to rest?"
Jian Yunyin shook her head and said, "I told her, she's not used to it."
"Since my eldest brother's finger was broken, he also gave me a new guard when he came back."
"My eldest brother doesn't trust ordinary coachmen anymore."
Jiang Zhiluo thought about what happened in her dream, and her expression changed: "Did your elder brother's hand happen accidentally?"
When Jian Yunyin thought of her elder brother, her face turned pale and she looked very worried.
"I'm not sure. My eldest brother has been very silent since he woke up."
"Big brother sent people to investigate this matter, but it rained heavily that day and all the clues were interrupted."
"My eldest brother was suspicious, but he had two classmates in the car at the time. His two classmates were also injured, but they were not as serious as my eldest brother."
"And what's even more outrageous is that the Dong family took advantage of my eldest brother's serious injury to rush to break off the engagement."
"My mother almost fainted with anger at that time."
"It was originally agreed that my eldest brother and Miss Dong would get married after the provincial examination. It was the Dong family who took the initiative."
Perhaps only in front of Jiang Zhiluo could Jian Yunyin express her true feelings.
And strangely enough, when Jiang Zhiluo stayed in a country house, she felt an indescribable sense of relaxation.
Jiang Zhiluo's eyes were filled with frost when she heard these words.
I heard people gossiping about Jian Yunci in town before.
"Your brother, are you okay?"
I still remember seeing Jian Yunci at the door of the Yamen, with an indescribable sadness on his face.
Jian Yunyin shook her head and said: "It seems fine, but we know that my eldest brother keeps everything in his heart. He used to be very cheerful, but now he is very silent and doesn't say a word for a day."
Jiang Zhiluo said: "What about the two classmates who went to the provincial capital with him?"
"They were also injured, and they all went back to recuperate."
"Where's the coachman?"
Jian Yunyin said: "That coachman is an old man of our Jian family. He blamed himself a lot for my brother's accident, but he has been with my father for so many years. My father still misses the old relationship, so he only punished him lightly."
Jiang Zhiluo's expression changed. Is her surname really Ding?
Jiang Zhiluo said: "Tell me more about your eldest brother, those two classmates, and the rickshaw driver. Maybe there are some clues in it."
Jiang Zhiluo couldn't tell her what she was dreaming about, so she could only remind Jian Yunyin through details.
Jian Yunyin said: "I only listened to some of what my eldest brother and my mother said, and I know a little bit about it. One of my eldest brother's classmates is He Muqiang and the other is Wang Ping."
"Both of us have also been admitted as scholars, and their grades in the academy are also good, so this time I asked my eldest brother to go to the provincial capital with me..."
"It was just raining heavily on the road, and the carriage went crazy. Uncle Ding didn't stop the carriage. My eldest brother fell off, He Muqiang fell on my brother, and Wang Ping fell on the other side and passed out, with some blood coming out of his head..."
Jiang Zhiluo's heart was stirred up. Some of the scenes Jian Yunyin mentioned were the same as those in her dreams.
