Ancient natural disasters: The whole family traveled through time and was almost wiped out

Chapter 213

Mr. Mian just opens his mouth and Miss Mi runs her legs off.

Jiang Xiumian went back and thought about it, only to find that there was a big loophole in what he said.

At this stage, red bricks can be given for free or at a huge discount to people who don’t have houses, but not everyone can get free red bricks for building houses!

After all, such a huge charity, no matter how rich Jiang Yipei is, it is not enough for his prodigal son to pay for it.

Moreover, the most important point is, if everyone is free, then Jiang Xiumian will become everyone's slave, making bricks for all the masters of Dasheng?

Oh my god, just thinking about it makes my vision darker and darker.

This misunderstanding must be clarified as soon as possible!

Jiang Xiaomi, who was entrusted, said with a serious face: "Mr. Mian said that we should strive to make every household live in a red brick house, but he didn't say that all the red bricks are free, right?!"

Chinese culture is profound and extensive. Without punctuation marks, the meaning will be different!

Some people were dissatisfied and could not bear to see their red brick houses gone. But then they heard Jiang Xiaomi say, "The brick kilns will continue to be built. If people with good houses want to use free bricks, there are policies for that!"

“What policy?!”

"Each family will provide two laborers to help with the work. Food will be provided but accommodation is not provided. There will be no wages. It doesn't matter if you are a man or a woman. However, you must be quick-witted and hardworking. Please consider it. If you are interested, please come to Yao Ju to sign up."

Jiang Xiaomi didn't know what Jiang Xiumian was thinking. Why did he want to dampen everyone's enthusiasm at this time? Wouldn't it be better to talk about it later? By then, all the work would have been done!

But since he did this, he must have his reasons. Jiang Xiaomi is not as smart as him, so she will not argue with him on such matters. She will just do whatever he arranges.

Don’t be fooled by the free stuff. They are the ones who earn the most by attracting workers, but the initial investment is just larger.

Yao Ju knew a few words, otherwise he would not have been able to understand the brick kiln design drawings, so he was still able to do the job of recording the names. If there were words he didn't recognize, he could also find alternative ways to record them.

So he agreed hurriedly, but unfortunately, his family was out of labor, otherwise he would have free bricks. However, he believed that if they made more bricks, the price of bricks would definitely drop, and it would be cost-effective to buy them with his own money at that time!

Blue bricks were very expensive in ancient times, largely because of the slow construction period and low output.

However, the red brick kiln built by Jiang Xiumian and his team can achieve mass production to a certain extent, so it will definitely have a certain impact on the price of blue bricks.

However, the current environment is not good, and the contradictions will not be revealed for the time being, but it is hard to say what will happen in the future.

But Jiang Xiumian has a way to solve this small problem, but the person who implements it must be Jiang Yipei -

These are things for the future, it's too early to talk about them now. The laborers are hesitant. There is still a big difference between doing it for free and exchanging two people for red bricks. Seeing that they were hesitant, Jiang Xiaomi added fuel to the fire -

"There is one thing I want to make clear to you. Currently, only the three villages where you are serving have the right to exchange labor for bricks. Families in other villages whose houses are intact cannot exchange labor for bricks. Not to mention exchanging, even if they want to buy at a high price, it is not their turn for the time being!"

As soon as these words were spoken, some people came to sign up, but what they were thinking in their hearts was: What if I don’t seize this opportunity and they change their minds?

——The main reason is that they represent the government, and even if they want to change their mind, they can't do anything about it! It's better for them to do whatever they say, otherwise, how can they fight back?

If I could fight, why would I serve?!

At first they thought that doing forced labor would be as hard and tiring as before, and they could even die, so they were very scared. But when they got here, they found that the food was good, the clothes were good, and the weather was a little cold, but it was acceptable because it was not that cold when they were working.

Moreover, there is rest time every day, unlike the previous forced labor where we had to work around the clock. Where can we find such a kind-hearted adult? Those petty-minded and unsatisfied people really deserve to die!

Jiang Xiaomi and Jiang Suying did not rush back to the county that night, nor did they stay in the mountains. Instead, they went back to Yao Lizheng's home in Shangtang Village with Jiang Xiubai and Jiang Xiumian.

As soon as Yao Lizheng heard that Jiang Suying and Jiang Xiaomi were Jiang Yipei's wife and daughter, he immediately asked someone to clean up the best room in the house. Jiang Suying waved her hands again and again: "Don't bother, old man. We can just stay in Xiao Mian's room."

Seeing Jiang Suying's firm attitude, Yao Lizheng was worried: "Will this be too unfair to Madam?"

"It's okay, I don't feel wronged." Jiang Suying smiled kindly.

She would have to observe Jiang Xiubai for another night to assess whether he could go back to the county with them.

I'm really exhausted.

There are things everywhere.

Her wish of sleeping six hours a day has not yet been fulfilled.

But it came true today. Jiang Xiubai woke up from a nap before going down the mountain. Under the control of Jiang Suying, he ate three bowls of rice and drank two bowls of medicine, and then fell into a deep sleep.

"Is it really okay for him to eat so much? Didn't they say that his internal organs all had mild failure? This stomach... not only didn't fail, it even mutated?"

Jiang Xiaomi was watching Jiang Xiubai eat one bite at a time. He was not in a hurry this time and ate elegantly, but it did not affect his appetite. If Jiang Suying hadn't stopped him, he would have finished two bowls.

"It's true. His stomach is not a big problem. The human body is very mysterious. You need to eat when you are hungry and sleep when you are tired. This is a way for the body to regulate itself. I don't quite understand why Jiang Xiubai has such a big appetite. Maybe his body needs a lot of nutrition."

Jiang Suying took his pulse twice and found that he was fine, so she and Jiang Xiaomi fell asleep on the bed next to him.

As for ordinary people, there are many people and children in the family. When the children grow up, the room is not big enough, so they can only put two beds in one room and let four or five children live together.

Jiang Xiumian was also very sleepy. He looked at the 20 centimeters space Jiang Xiubai had left for him and kicked him in. Jiang Xiubai grunted twice and turned over without even opening his eyes, occupying his 20 centimeters of bed tightly.

Jiang Xiumian: “…”

He stepped on the foot of the bed and lay down on the inside, but then he thought that this was not a good idea. His sleeping posture was very unruly. If he accidentally fell off the bed and triggered some illness, he would be doomed.

He had no choice but to grab Jiang Xiubai's ankles and drag him inside. After he was tilted, he began to move his upper body. Even after moving him like this, Jiang Xiubai did not wake up.

The next day, Jiang Suying felt that Jiang Xiubai could still go back to the county with them. The county's free clinic could not be let go for too long, otherwise the prestige in the county government that Jiang Yipei had accumulated with great difficulty would easily be lost.

"vomit--"

As soon as the carriage started moving, Jiang Xiubai felt like vomiting.

Car sickness and seasickness are both types of motion sickness.

There are many reasons for this, but for someone like Jiang Xiubai who never gets carsick suddenly getting carsick, it is very likely that he has damaged his brain, and there is a solution to this problem.

So, Jiang Xiubai set off on the road with a head full of silver needles. He had also had a lot of piercings on the back of his ears, so he had to sit upright to prevent the carriage from shaking and throwing him against the wall - with so many needles in such a dangerous area, it would be easy to be pierced to death!

But in order to avoid feeling dizzy, I’ll just have a head full of needles!

Jiang Xiubai has returned to the county, but Jiang Xiumian is still fighting alone in the mountains. The great but unstable kiln project still needs him!

Jiang Xiumian: “…”

Really, I feel helpless sometimes.

He asked Jiang Xiaomi to escort Jiang Xiubai and his mother back to the county and then come over to accompany him, but Jiang Suying vetoed his request: "It's freezing cold in the wilderness, and you let your sister come alone? How can you be so careless as a brother!"

"Then why doesn't she go back? There are so many people escorting you. One more or one less won't make a difference. Why must she go back? I don't care. I don't agree to stay here alone! Let Jiang Xiaomi stay with me! Mom, I'm your son. You said you would treat us equally!"

Things have come to this point. If Jiang Suying disagrees, it would seem that she is very biased!

So Jiang Xiaomi was left behind.

Jiang Xiubai returned to the county. From the time he got off the car to the time he went to his room, he never took off the bamboo hat that covered his face. This made Liu very anxious: "What happened? Why did you come back suddenly? What happened? Hey, let me see! Is your face hurt? It's okay. We don't marry a wife based on her face! Oh, my God! His father!"

"What's going on?!" Jiang Yida, who was following closely, was extremely anxious.

"Where's the incense! Where's the incense! Find it quickly, I have to worship it! The older generation said that there are a lot of dirty things on the mountain. I didn't believe it at first, my God! Hey - no matter what kind of female ghost you are, get away from my son quickly. I know my son is a virgin and a man is precious, but he is not someone you can covet. If you know what's good for you, leave quickly, otherwise, when I invite a master over, you won't be able to run away even if you want to! Hey -"

Jiang Xiumian: “…”

There is no need for a virgin boy to say such things, and, mom, the way you dance is so scary!

"His mother..." Jiang Yida was a little scared when he saw his wife's crazy look, but when he saw his son's face, his facial nerves twitched fiercely, and he kicked his feet and ran away, quickly finding all the incense he could find, handing them to Liu, and lighting half of them himself, urging: "Light it up, light it all, and quickly feed these dirty things and send them away!"

Seeing his parents jumping up and down, Jiang Xiubai felt both amused and distressed, and quickly pulled them back: "It's not a dirty thing, I'm just sick."

Liu didn't believe it: "What kind of illness is it? How can he be so sick in just ten days? It must be evil spirits! His father, hurry up..."

"Really not..." Jiang Xiubai suddenly became weak: "Dad and Mom, I don't have much energy to explain to you now, but Auntie said it can be cured, so don't worry. Don't light incense in my room. I feel uncomfortable when I smell it and can't breathe."

"Okay, no need to light it!" When Liu heard that Jiang Suying had a way to cure it, she finally relaxed. She hadn't lit the incense yet, but she stopped immediately after hearing that, stuffed all the incense into Jiang Yida's arms, and helped Jiang Xiubai lie down: "Slow down, tell me, where do you feel uncomfortable?"

"Head, ears, and neck." Jiang Xiubai told the truth. After sitting upright all the way, his neck was so tired that it seemed like it didn't belong to him anymore.

Liu's eyes were red with distress. From childhood to adulthood, her Xiaobai rarely got sick. This was the first time she saw him so sick. She looked up at the sky, holding back her tears, and said in a sobbing voice: "Mom will give you a massage. How strong is it?"

Jiang Xiubai could only pretend that he didn't know that Liu was crying, and said cheerfully: "Okay, okay! It would be better if it was a little heavier! Well, that's it! Thank you, mother!"

Liu smiled: "Silly child - why thank you or not!"

Jiang Xiubai enjoyed his mother loosening his bones for him, and said to his father, "Dad, I'm hungry!"

"What do you want to eat? Dad will make it for you!"

Jiang Yida thought Jiang Xiubai would have no appetite because of his illness, so when he heard him say that he wanted to eat, he was immediately very happy - if he could eat, it meant that his illness was slowly getting better. If he didn't want to eat anything, then he was really useless.

"Anything is fine, just give me more food." Jiang Xiubai held his stomach. As long as he was full, he wouldn't be picky about anything. He was just afraid that he wouldn't have enough to eat: "Give me more food! Remember!"

"Okay!" Jiang Yida didn't know at this time whether the "point" in Jiang Xiubai's "more rice" meant one point or one billion points. It was not until he was about to add the fourth bowl of rice that he felt something was wrong. Who can eat so much when he is sick!

Jiang Yida was worried and hurried to find Jiang Suying.

After Jiang Suying came back, she immediately went to the free clinic shop diagonally opposite. Now that she, the main force of the free clinic, was gone, Jiang Ji was almost unable to bear the pain of seeing patients until late at night every day.

The situation in the village he was in charge of in Nanxiang Town was relatively better, and there was no serious case. Jiang Suying took him back when she left. From then on, he lived a life of getting up earlier than the chickens and going to bed later than the dogs. Every time he closed his eyes to take the pulse, he wanted to take a nap. But when he saw Jiang Suying coming back, he couldn't stay for a moment. He really needed to rest. His body had reached its limit. If the pharmacy prescribed the wrong medicine, he would be ruined and his reputation would be ruined.

"Sister-in-law, Xiaobai he--" Jiang Yida was so anxious that he ran in and said to Jiang Suying. The latter was seeing a patient with a bad cold and motioned for him to wait a moment.

Wait? How can I wait?

Jiang Yida remembered spinning around, but after spinning around ten or so times, he suddenly realized—Xiaobai was his sister-in-law’s nephew!

She and her elder brother loved Xiaobai so much, and Xiaobai was closer to them than his parents. If there was really something wrong with Xiaobai, how could the elder sister-in-law not be anxious? !

What a pig brain!

Jiang Yida relaxed immediately after he figured it out.

Jiang Suying wrote a prescription for the patient and did not call the next patient. Instead, she asked Jiang Yida to sit down, concealed the matter of the system, and told him Jiang Xiubai's true physical condition.

"The only way now is to take good care of it. It will get better in three or two years. But don't overwork it, otherwise it will hurt its foundation and affect your offspring."
