The whole family traveled through ancient times with their house
Chapter 66 Harvest Chapter
Captain Dong stood with his hands behind his back, watching the twelve dejected figures walk away.
Humph! As long as Madam Jiang can help him grow more food and his brothers no longer go hungry, he will have confidence and stand up straighter.
These prodigal sons of bitches don't even understand his efforts and want to hold him back.
Damn it, if you really piss me off, I'll beat you up one by one. Humph!
Captain Dong was snorting, but suddenly seemed to have thought of something great, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
The scene was so strange that even Mr. Guo, who had been observing this place, was at a loss for words to describe it.
He was afraid that the captain would be very angry, so he quickly stepped forward and tried to find words to resolve the situation.
"Boss, you seem quite happy now?" Guo Xiucai felt angry when he thought about the noisy look of the twelve little flags.
But the smile on the captain's face just now couldn't be fake, and he was a little confused. He was the military advisor appointed by his brothers, but today he couldn't keep up with the captain's pace.
"I'm thinking about two things right now."
"What two things?"
"Autumn, please hurry up! I'll store all the crops that Madam Jiang has grown."
"anything else?"
"If the northern barbarians dare to come, I will follow Ye Zhanyang and smash those bastards' brains into pieces."
Mr. Guo: It seems that the captain really admires the Ye family.
Captain Dong knew that Mr. Guo was interested in Madam Jiang, and it was he who encouraged Mr. Guo to boldly seek matchmaking from Zhang Xiaoqi and his wife.
At this moment, seeing that Mr. Guo was still pretending to be serious, he couldn't help but ask, "How did you get Old Zhang to act as a matchmaker?"
"Mrs. Jiang doesn't want to remarry."
"Did Lao Zhang ask?"
"It was Old Zhang's wife who asked. She didn't mention me. She just said that it was very difficult for her to raise the child alone, and asked if she wanted to find someone to help her." Guo Xiucai sighed. He felt quite uncomfortable when he thought of Old Zhang's reply.
"What about the rest? What does it say?"
"Mrs. Jiang said she doesn't want to remarry. She's raising her child on her own and is living a good life."
"Well, if it were someone else, we wouldn't believe it. But if it were Madam Jiang, raising the child by herself, it should be no problem."
Captain Dong thought about the feathered arrow on the pigeon and said something that was most difficult for Scholar Guo to accept. "Madam Jiang's archery is as accurate as mine."
Mr. Guo: …?
Captain Dong had promised Madam Jiang that he would not tell anyone about her shooting down the pigeon, and he didn't even tell Guo Xiucai about it.
Mr. Guo saw that the captain was hiding something from him, but as smart as he was, he didn't ask anything and pretended not to know.
...
The days passed like water, and the autumn harvest season finally arrived amid Dong Baihu's long-awaited call.
In the Thirteenth Banner, Jiang Yan's land was not the most cultivated, but it was the best.
And the most important thing is that the crops she grows mature earlier than those of other people.
Captain Dong had already agreed with Zhang Xiaoqi that he must be notified when Madam Jiang's crops were harvested. He wanted to witness the miracle of their Xishan Captain's Office with his own eyes.
It was difficult for Jiang Yan, as there were clearly various models of harvesters in the trading mall.
But she can't buy it and use it, which is really annoying.
But the crops in the field cannot wait, especially those ripe beans. If they are not harvested quickly, the pods will surely burst.
Jiang Yan didn't want the crops she had worked so hard to grow to suffer any losses, so she discussed with Guan: "Sister Guan, can you help me hire a few people?"
"Sister, are you going to harvest the crops?"
"Yes. Those beans are almost ripe. If we don't harvest them, they will explode all over the ground."
"Okay, I'll go over and ask my sister when she wants to harvest."
"I want to harvest it tomorrow morning."
"Okay, I'll go over and ask for you now." After Guan said that, she went back to the other side of the river.
When Zhang Xiaoqi saw his wife coming back, he immediately went up to her and asked, "Did Madam Jiang say when the crops will be harvested?"
"I said. I want to harvest the beans tomorrow. I won't wait for anyone once the pods are dry."
"Oh, how could I have forgotten such a large piece of beans in my happiness?"
"Boss, the girl asked us to help her find some people to harvest the crops. Who do you think we should find?"
"Isn't there a ready-made candidate?"
"Ready-made? Are you talking about the Ye family?"
"Yes. The Ye family has many people, and all the men are good laborers. And more importantly, when they were exiled here, it was past the farming season, so there was no harvest this year."
Zhang Xiaoqi thought that Madam Jiang used grain as wages, which was also helping the Ye family.
Otherwise, the Ye family, with such a large family, would have to go hungry in the winter.
"Oh, yes. Boss, why don't you go to the Ye family and ask them now to see if they are willing?"
"Of course I'm willing." Zhang Xiaoqi said and went to lead the horse.
"Boss, it's only a few steps away, why do you still want to go there on horseback?"
"It's only a few steps to the Ye family. If I don't ride a horse, how long will it take me to get to the Hundred Households Office?"
"Why are you going to the Hundred Households Office again?"
"The captain said that whenever Madam Jiang harvests the crops, she must inform him."
"Oh."
"I've gone to the Hundred Households Office and may be back late, so don't worry about me."
"understood."
...
In the Ye family's yard, the women of the Ye family were drying wild vegetables.
Old Mrs. Ye, Mrs. Ning, looked up at the still scorching sun and became worried.
"The weather has mornings and evenings now. It's only hot in the afternoon, but it's cool in the morning and evening."
"Yes." The eldest daughter-in-law echoed.
"When the harvest comes, let's talk to the people in the flag and ask them to buy more food."
"We have a big family, so we really need to buy more. I heard that the snow here is so heavy in the winter that it closes off the roads."
"Isn't it?"
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking when they heard someone outside ask, "Is anyone there?"
"Yes." Seeing that it was Master Xiaoqi who came, Old Lady Ye came out first. "Master Xiaoqi is here."
"Ah."
"Master Xiaoqi, please sit inside."
"No, I'm leaving now." Zhang Xiaoqi was also straightforward. In a few simple words, he explained that Madam Jiang wanted to hire people to harvest beans. "Madam Jiang won't let you work for free. You will be paid with grain. As for whether you want corn or other grain, you can ask Madam Jiang yourself."
"We'll go, the whole family." Old Mrs. Ye immediately agreed when she learned they were going to help Jiang's mother and daughter work across the river. "Even if you don't pay us, we'll go."
"Old lady, she's a good person. But Madam Jiang is also a kind and righteous person."
Zhang Xiaoqi made an appointment with Old Lady Ye and asked them to go there early tomorrow to harvest beans, and then he rode to the Hundred Households Office.
When General Ye came back from work with his children and grandchildren, he was very happy to hear what the old lady said.
