shock!As soon as he came back, his house was ransacked and he was exiled.

Chapter 84 Gossip
No one can resist the temptation of roasted sweet potatoes in the winter.

Chuntao's sweet potatoes were large, thin-skinned, soft, glutinous and sweet. Jiang Zhimiao ate several of them in one go. Finally, he couldn't eat any more and sat down by the fire to eat them.

Everyone had a great time eating the first meal of their stay.

The things in the house were almost tidied up before. In the afternoon, the three little ones played for a while and then went back to their respective houses to sleep.

Mr. Wen still didn't want to live with Father Wen and the others. He said that when the children grew up, they would have their own lives. This house was not big, so it would be inconvenient to live together, so he went to draw lots before.

The one he drew was room No. 27, which was a little far away. Jiang Zhimiao went to see it in the afternoon. The layout was the same as theirs, but it was a little far away.

However, seeing his happy look, Jiang Zhimiao didn't have much to say. This house is indeed not big. If they all live together, eating and other things would be fine, but bathing, sleeping, etc. are really not easy. convenient.

The house was well tidied up by the Wen family. Jiang Zhimiao saw that the house was a little drafty, so he followed up and repaired it. The elderly were the most vulnerable to the cold. They would get sick when they were cold. If they got sick, they would inevitably suffer.

The two families shared one quilt between them, and they didn't have many quilts in total. It was both a mattress and a cover. One quilt for one family was already the limit. I'll make do with it tonight. I'll go to the county town tomorrow and buy some more. The bed was made up.

As soon as she came back from Mr. Wen, Chuntao came over and Jiang Zhimiao saw her standing on the field ridge from a distance.

"Chuntao, here, I'm here!" Jiang Zhimiao waved and greeted her as he walked.

When Chuntao heard her name, she turned her head subconsciously and saw the girl walking this way. She waved her hand and responded with a smile: "Sister, I'm here!"

Previously at her house, Jiang Zhimiao said that she could just wait at the edge of the field. Although the village chief had numbered each house, Chuntao was illiterate and naturally did not know where house No. 17 was. Therefore, Jiang Zhimiao Ask her to wait at the edge of the field.

Isn't it just a coincidence that I met Chuntao just after returning from Mr. Wen's place? It's really better to catch up early than to catch up by chance.

The exile was finally over, and now people had a safe place to live again. After simply cleaning the house, they basically stayed at home and took a nap in the afternoon. Jiang Zhimiao suddenly made a sound, which woke up many people.

"Who is it! What are you making a noise about? You can't just calm down for a while!"

"That's right, who is this? He doesn't sleep in the middle of the day and wanders around outside. You don't want to sleep with others but you still want to sleep. Can't you keep your voice down?!"

"Don't let me catch whoever is outside and scare you. If you catch me, I won't let him look good!"

Listening to the complaints one after another, Jiang Zhimiao fell silent.

It was because of her poor thinking that she finally settled down. Everyone wanted to have a good night's sleep. She was really disappointed. Seeing that the complaints gradually subsided, Jiang Zhimiao closed her mouth, picked up the speed on her feet, and quickly arrived. Tianqiao and Chuntao met and made peace.

Chuntao only vaguely heard someone speaking, but couldn't make out what they were saying. When she saw the girl making a silent gesture, she nodded and stood there waiting for her.

After the two met, Jiang Zhimiao taught her step by step how to find herbs in the fields. Unexpectedly, Chuntao's memory was quite good. She remembered everything after being taught twice, which was beyond her expectation.

However, to be sure, Jiang Zhimiao still collected some more herbs for her to use as samples. If she forgot, she could just follow the same pattern next time. They were all common medicines anyway.

The two of them immersed themselves in the field and picked for more than an hour.The setting sun hit Jiang Zhimiao's hands. She looked at the sun, threw the medicinal materials in her hand into the bamboo basket, and raised her hand to wipe the sweat.

"We have picked a basket of spring peaches, which is enough for Uncle Genzi to eat. It is getting late, so stop picking and go back quickly."

Chuntao straightened up slightly, looked at her blankly, and threw the herbs in her hand into the basket, "I understand, Sister Miaomiao, I'm going home right now."

After the two gathered the medicinal materials collected in the afternoon, they went their separate ways and went home.

It was indeed getting late at this time, and many people were preparing for dinner. Smelling the aroma wafting from other people's houses, Jiang Zhimiao didn't stop and hurried home without looking back.

When he and Chuntao were collecting herbs in the afternoon, the two of them chatted a lot. Through this back and forth, Jiang Zhimiao finally learned some gossip about Tianshui Village.

For example, why did Ge San's family regret it temporarily? Ever since Ge San lost five taels of silver in a gambling house in the town, his wife Li Sanniang had been strict with him and would not let him leave home.

It is said that Li Sanniang was a famous shrew in the village when she was young. Since marrying Ge San, they have been fighting every day. However, after Ge San lost five taels of silver, he probably felt shameless himself, so he calmed down. many.

In short, she is now in charge of the Ge San family, and what Li Sanniang hates most in her life is corrupt officials. When her father was doing business in the town when he was young, he was falsely accused and sent to the government office. Because he did not send money to the government, his left leg was broken. Finally became a cripple.

Therefore, she hated people like Jiang Zhimiao and others, let alone selling them food.

For another example, Wu Changsheng, the head of Tianshui Village, is a very ambitious person. He wants to surpass Kugen Village. Over the years, the village has raised sheep and pigs, but in the end they have not raised them. On the contrary, they are in debt. A huge amount of debt has made the villagers miserable.

Fortunately, he stopped bothering and his life became peaceful, and the villagers' life became easier. However, the previous troubles had buried roots in the hearts of the villagers, and they were more or less complaining about him.

Listening to these gossips, Jiang Zhimiao found it quite interesting. No wonder Village Chief Wu didn't ask for help when he first arrived in Tianshui Village. After a long time, the villagers refused to accept him, so he didn't ask for help.

Of course, Jiang Zhimiao not only listened to the gossip this afternoon, she was not familiar with Tianshui Village, and she didn't know where to go when she went to the market tomorrow. She found out the way from Chuntao's mouth.

The nearest town to Tianshui Village is Baiyun Town. Every day at Mao Shi, there will be people driving cattle on carts. It takes two hours to go from Tianshui Village to Baiyun Town. If you want to relax, spend two hours. Coins can be collected in an oxcart. If you feel sorry for the money, you have no choice but to leave.

Jiang Zhimiao decided to push the trolley to the market at [-] o'clock tomorrow. There were a lot of things to buy when he returned to the town, so it was easier to go there. Two coins would be enough, but there were a lot of things when he returned. If people didn't want to pull them, he had to walk back. .

Anyway, the area of ​​​​the cart is large, so I bought more this time, and it would be fine to ride on the ox cart later. She thought about discussing it with the Wen family later. They had to go to the cart anyway, so she might as well get together and think about it. Follow Jiang Zhimiao and arrive home.

Dinner is still roasted sweet potatoes. There are only sweet potatoes in the house. If you don’t eat sweet potatoes, you have nothing to eat. However, after eating hard pancakes for so many days, they still eat the roasted sweet potatoes for half a month.

After simply cleaning up, Jiang Zhimiao went to the Wen family to discuss the last episode. Undoubtedly, they sent Wen Zhuqing. The two hit it off and decided to push the cart to the last episode.

After the matter was almost discussed, Jiang Zhimiao went home and fell asleep.
