The county magistrate changed his career to selling private vegetables and sold them out

Chapter 4 There is a silly girl named Jiang Shan in the village

The little girl was very good at protecting food, she twisted her way into the old man's arms, and swallowed the yam in her mouth.

Jiang Shan laughed and said: "Master, don't worry, yam can strengthen the spleen and stomach, and it doesn't matter if you eat less raw."

After speaking, he took out two more sticks and handed them to the little girl, "Here, take them back and cook them before eating."

The old man pulled the little girl into his arms with suspicion, seeing that there was nothing wrong with the child, he eased his expression.

The little girl hugged the two yams tightly, and smiled at Jiangshan so hard that she couldn't see her eyes.

The old man hesitated for a moment, then pointed behind him and said, "A mile ahead, there is a medicine shop that also collects yams. Why don't you exchange them for some silver, and then exchange the money for some food. How can a good person get medicinal herbs?" It's really...!"

When Jiang Shan came out of the pharmacy, he still had the yam on his back.

No wonder no one wants the mountains of yams, and the price is so low, who wants to eat that old nose when they are full!
The price of this thing is lower than that of coarse grains, so it's better to take it home and eat it yourself.

Jiang Shan walked around the town, bought a few feet of cloth at a low price, bought some seasonings and ingredients for cooking, bought some miscellaneous grains, rice noodles and meat, and returned along the way.

Seeing a bullock cart on the way, she used her three-inch tongue to coax people to the north and south, and forced her to go around two villages and send her back to Huaigu Village.

It took a whole day from morning to night.For the current Jiangshan, this is nothing more than going out for a stroll.

But for Jiao Mu and Jiao Sanlang, the sky over their heads almost collapsed.

You know, Jiang Shan is a fool, no one has ever left Huaigu Village!She was born with a lack of nerves, and what she did was wrong, what she did was ruined, and she couldn't do any fine work except for a handful of strength, she could only do some rough work.

Since she was picked up from the mountain by Jiao's mother when she was eight years old, apart from sweeping the floor, carrying water, and chopping firewood at home, she just wandered around the village and waited for Jiao's mother to come back, doing nothing else.

No matter how others scold her, even if a child throws mud on her, she is cheerful and has no temper at all.

The whole thing is a hard and smelly lump of soil.

When Jiao Erlang was at home, the life of the Jiao family could still go on. Jiao's mother had a little savings in her hands, which was able to enshrine Jiao Erlang's study, and even had more than ten acres of fertile land for the villagers. Erlang's health was not so bad.

All the changes started three years ago.

Jiao's mother sold the land, spent all her savings, and asked people to inquire about Jiao Erlang's whereabouts, but in the end it was like a bamboo basket fetching water.

Jiao's mother's spirit is getting worse day by day, Erlang's health is getting worse and worse, only Jiangshan is still the same naive, wandering around the village every day, waiting for Jiao Erlang to come back.

When Mother Jiao went to sleep, she hurried to Jiangshan's room thinking of her future grandson.

In the end, no one found it, but found a pot of steaming porridge on the stove.

The mother and son turned upside down inside and out, but they couldn't find Jiangshan.

Jiao's mother even thought that the villagers had dragged her Shan'er to Shentang again, and when she was about to take her son to find the village chief to fight for her life, Jiang Shan came back.

"Shan'er... my good grandson, where have you gone, you are so frightened!" Jiao's mother stepped forward to grab Jiangshan, and slapped her hard on the back a few times.

Jiang Shan put down the things in his hands, wiped his sweat, and rubbed Jiao Sanlang's soft hair, hehe smiled and said: "Mother, I'm fine, please help me boil some hot water, I'll scrub it first Fan, I'll cook something delicious for you!"

"I'm going to boil the water!" Jiao Sanlang responded, turned around and ran away.

Mother Jiao took Jiang Shan's hand, looked up and down, her eyes turned red.

"You child, how did you make it like this..."

Jiang Shan made up a short story in a few words, which successfully coaxed Jiao's mother's tears to stop.

"Just this, how many rice noodles can be exchanged? And cloth?" Mother Jiao always felt that something was wrong.

"That's not right! The pharmacy owner also taught me to make delicious food from yams, just wait for me to cook something for you!"

Jiao's mother looked at Jiang Shan's stomach in doubt, and said, "Grandson... is mother's grandson okay?"

Jiang Shan's face was slightly stiff, she did have a little thought, overwork, accidental fall or something...

However, every step she took on the mountain was extremely steady and careful, and even her breathing was deliberately controlled.

Leaving aside the unease in his heart, Jiang Shan patted his belly lightly, and said with a grin: "It's all right! He's just like me, he's very solid, don't worry."

Jiao's mother just laughed, and while following Jiang Shan to the backyard, she nodded happily: "Yes, yes! Shan'er is so strong that she didn't cry when she fell when she was a child..."

Jiang Shan walked very fast, so he didn't hear half a word that Mother Jiao stopped abruptly behind.

After tidying up, Jiang Shan made a large pot of yam and corn porridge as quickly as possible, and put some fungi picked on the mountain in it, which was so fragrant that his nose was off.

The mother and son sat together and ate the most satisfying and happiest meal in the past three years.

When Jiao Sanlang wanted to add a third bowl, Jiang Shan stopped him.

"Sanlang, you are malnourished and need to be recuperated slowly. Eating too much will damage your stomach. Don't worry, my sister will cook something delicious for you tomorrow!"

Jiao Sanlang smiled shyly and scratched his head, "I've never eaten such delicious porridge, let's eat it tomorrow, okay?"

Jiang Shan's eyes were a little sour, and he hugged Saburo and pinched his thin cheek lightly, "It's my sister's fault, I haven't let Saburo have a good meal in the past few years, and I won't in the future!"

Jiao Sanlang really likes this kind of country. He blushed and said very sensiblely: "I don't blame my sister, it's Saburo's fault. I can't grow up quickly and help my mother and sister to work."

Mother Jiao watched from the side, wiped the corners of her eyes lightly with her sleeves, and said with a smile, "Let's call her sister-in-law, after all, men and women are different, so as to save others from making irresponsible remarks."

Jiang Shan was not happy anymore, and said with a stern face: "Aren't I the daughter you raised? By the way, Saburo and I are more like siblings. Both of us have thick eyebrows, and we look majestic!"

After the words fell, both siblings laughed.

However, there was a trace of hidden worry in Jiao's mother's eyes.

With rice grains at home, they will not have to worry about food and clothing within a month or two.

Jiang Shan asked Jiao's mother to make a set of clothes for the family of three with the bought cloth, and then began to study the recipes.

The old and the young in the family are all severely malnourished and cannot be supplemented, but can only be nourished.

As for Jiao's mother's mental state, it is caused by heart disease, as long as she avoids mentioning those bad people and things, she should be fine.

For several days in a row, the gate of Jiao's house was closed tightly, and he didn't go out, but the smell of food always wafted from the courtyard wall, and the people passing by were salivating.

People in the village all speculated that the Jiao family is not going to make trouble again, is it?
