Mind reading, taking the rental house through the whole village crying

Chapter 288 Building the Shelf

"Dad, Mom, Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law, Siyin, Brother's Sister-in-law, Tongjin, you guys should go and have a rest. Leave the rest to Pingmei and me."

Jiang Eryong felt heartbroken when he saw his family members who were so tired that their faces turned pale.

"Well, remember to dry them in the sun, and don't forget to collect them in the evening in case it rains suddenly. Also, lock the chickens in the chicken coop and don't let them steal the ears of corn."

Jiang Shoujia's back could not be straightened because it had been bent for a long time, and even speaking seemed very difficult for him.

He smelled of sweat, and could be smelled from a distance.

His lips had lost all color, and his voice sounded extremely weak.

I didn't sleep all night and was exhausted from last night until this afternoon.

Even the youngest man can't handle it.

What's more, what about them?

Zhang Jinlan was not in a much better condition. She didn't even want to talk and was supported by Sun Pingmei back into the house.

She lay down on the bed and started snoring the next second.

As for washing and so on.

I don't have the energy to wash at all.

Let’s get some sleep first.

Jiang Meng and Jiang Cheng were also driven back to their little room to sleep.

Although they were tired, their hearts were warm.

"Jiang Cheng, I feel more and more that it's great to stay here. Fortunately, I signed a death contract in the first place. With such a good master, I am willing to stay here for the rest of my life."

Jiang Meng yawned and sighed.

The two men lay together shirtless and fell asleep without saying a word.

Zhang Yanzi and Jiang Siyin, who were a little more particular, wet the towel with water and wiped their bodies before going to bed.

"Quack--"

"Moo-"

"Hum-"

"Whoosh-"

When people are too tired, they will snore very loudly.

Jiang Fubao, who was helping to dry brown rice in the yard, heard various snoring sounds.

One after another.

It's like a bunch of toads and a bunch of sows quarreling with Niu Niu.

Her hands were small and couldn't help much, instead she just made things more complicated.

Jiang Eryong took her directly out of the house and asked the older children in the family to take her out to play.

Jiang Fubao crossed his hands in front of his chest, but unfortunately his arms were as short as his legs.

The pose is very difficult.

She pouted and watched her second uncle go in and continue to work.

"Sister, let's go to the foot of the mountain and pick flowers."

Seeing her sister was angry, the sensible Jiang Ruyi quickly took her hand and diverted her attention.

In less than a minute, Jiang Fubao happily became a little girl picking wild flowers.

"There's not enough room in the front yard to dry all this brown rice. Wife, take the broom and sweep the backyard. Let's dry the rest in the backyard."

Jiang Eryong wiped his sweat and said to Sun Pingmei.

"Okay, I got it." So, Sun Pingmei used a broom to sweep away the chicken shit and dirt in the backyard, and the two of them also covered the backyard with brown rice ears.

Anyone who participated in the harvest last night.

Almost every family looks miserable.

At this time, under the trees at the entrance of the village, many women who did not participate in the harvest were sitting here fanning themselves and chatting.

Laid back and at ease.

As the autumn harvest approaches, there is not much work to do in the fields. Apart from working in the morning, two people can just water the crops in the evening.

Therefore, women who are not able to work are left with nothing to do.

After their nap, they chatted until the evening before going home to cook.

In their mouths, families who harvested their crops early were called fools.

It seems that they are the only ones who are the most sober and intelligent.

Sleep until dawn.

When I got up, all the children in the house, including Jiang Fubao, were up.

Sun Pingmei heated up a pot of food on the stove and waited for them to eat.

Jiang Eryong also did not forget to go to the pond to fetch a few buckets of mountain spring water and fill up the two water tanks in his home.

The Jiang family got up, had breakfast, and took a quick shower.

There was not enough water to take a bath, so each person had a basin of water to wash.

"Yamato, Siyin, take Jiang Meng and Jiang Cheng to the mountains to cut some wood, build wooden frames in the empty rooms and utility rooms, pick up some wood blocks, and raise all the furniture in the house. Also, dig a hole in the corners of the backyard and the front yard, and lead a canal outside, so that when it rains heavily, the house will not be flooded."

Jiang Shoujia, who knew the most, gave instructions to his sons.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Meng and Jiang Cheng, who were eating, quickly put the last bite of rice in the bowl into their mouths.

They don't have to wash the dishes.

The two of them got up and followed the Jiang brothers out.

There are a lot of people cutting down trees in the mountains.

They all listened to Jiang Shoujia's words yesterday and prepared to build the scaffolding today.

Many women also ran out of the village and returned to their parents' homes to spread the news that it was going to rain.

Whether they listen or not is entirely up to them.

Among the ten villages outside the city, at least five are located next to the mountain. If there is heavy rain or a mountain torrent occurs, the five villages will be flooded.

The remaining five villages are far away from the mountains. Either their locations are so good that they will not be flooded, or there is a river outside the village and the terrain is relatively high, so the flood will flow into the river and will not submerge the village.

Jiangjia Village is the worst off.

The village is built at the foot of the mountain, and the mountain at the end of the village is the highest one in all directions.

"Look at them, they actually went out to cut down trees and build scaffolds. What a bunch of stupid people. Instead of wasting their time, they might as well just sweep the fields at home. I'll see how they cry when the grain tax is due."

"That's right. The head of the other family has a shop in town. They make so much money that they even hired two servants. They eat meat and refined rice every day. How can we compare with them? I'm afraid they can earn back this little brown rice in half a month. I can't afford to take the risk."

"Okay, let's go to the fields and work. The autumn harvest is coming soon. I just hope that the yield per mu will be higher this year, not too low."

"..."

The gossiping villagers went to the fields.

At this time, the Jiang family would lose at least ten taels of silver because the shop had not been open for a day. Zhang Jinlan's heart was bleeding, so they went to the town at the beginning of the morning hour.

Jiang Siyin, Jiang Shoujia and Jiang Tongjin stayed at home, responsible for setting up the racks and drying the ears of corn.

The ox cart left the village.

Along the way, we met many villagers who were fetching water.

Zhang Jinlan ignored any of them.

Because those who can fetch water have not harvested the crops in advance.

While some were certain that it would not rain, the Jiang family on the other hand believed Jiang Fubao's words without a doubt.

The ox cart was waiting for a long time.

The villagers who were fetching water together started to laugh and curse.

"What a bunch of fools! Just wait and see. When we have the autumn harvest, they will regret it so much that it will rain. I will rain on you."

"Who among you chose Jiang Shoujia to be the clan leader? I didn't choose him. I didn't think highly of him at first. His family was so poor. He just opened a shop in town. He really thinks he is so powerful."

"I didn't choose either. I guess it was chosen by the lackey who sold the bamboo tube to his family. Tsk tsk, it would be better for me to be the tribe leader or village chief."

"Don't worry. If it doesn't rain this time, I'm afraid his position will end. When the time comes to re-elect the clan leader and village chief, I will definitely choose you. However, you have to give me some benefits, such as giving my family the vacant land for planting."
