Chapter 88
"Father's heart is not that big. Father is just worried that if the war breaks out again, the folks will have to go back to the life of the previous few years." Father Guan was disturbed by this, and the heavy breath before dissipated quickly, but he He didn't think about Linshan Town, he just thought about the folks around him, and he couldn't be more clear about the life of everyone in the past few years.

Years ago?
A few images flashed through Shangguan Ling's mind, and he suddenly understood why Father Guan was so heavy at the moment before. It was when Qin Feng first arrived in the village, the imperial court ordered the raising of military pay and food and increased taxes by [-]%, which made the already difficult People are even worse, let alone half full throughout the year, even three meals a day are wild vegetable rice soup to maintain their livelihood.

It wasn't until last year, that is, the year before I came here, that the tax was gradually reduced, and the life of the villagers gradually improved. At least the children can have three meals a day.

"Father, with a daughter here, absolutely not." Shangguan Ling can absolutely guarantee this.

"I believe in my daughter." Father Guan nodded, with absolute confidence in Shangguan Ling, after all, the twenty thousand taels of silver note lying at home is not fake.

"Brother, don't worry, I believe that with our daughter here, our Xinji will only get better and better, and we will definitely be able to compare with that Songjia Village." Guan Erbo also joined in.

"That's right, let's just say it's coming out today, which village or family has it?" Second Aunt Guan followed her man's words, her face full of pride.

In the end, everyone joined in, and what you said was all praising Shangguan Ling, which made her feel embarrassed. Fortunately, someone came to rescue her.

"Madam, I've bought something, Madam has to take a look at it." Ma Quan pointed to the two ox carts on the village road and asked.

"No, you can send it over there." Shangguan Ling glanced around, and finally pointed to the place where the stove was built.

"Yes, ma'am." Ma Quan now obeyed Shangguan Ling's categorical words.

Shangguan Ling was afraid that everyone would gather around her again, so he stood up and followed Ma Quan.

The patriarch's wife was cooking and making steamed buns with her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law. When she raised her eyes and saw Shangguan Ling approaching, she hurried up to greet her, "Sister Yao, why are you here? If you need anything, just ask someone to come over." Just say it, it's smoky here, don't smoke you."

"What Grandma Wang said, it's so difficult that I'm still a wealthy family, and I'm still smoky. I just came here to see if the rice is enough. Do you want to get some more?" Shangguan Ling looked at the Two pots of porridge are cooking, do you think it is so thin and enough to eat?

Don't pay money and work hard but not get good things at that time, it will not be a big loss.

"That's enough. This porridge is intentionally boiled like this, so that you can eat steamed buns with thin porridge. It's definitely enough." Seeing her frowning at the two porridge pots, the patriarch's wife was thinking about the rumors in the village that her family They all just ate the big white rice, wondering if she didn't think it was enough, so she pointed to the corn white flour bun that was about to be steamed and said with a smile.

"Mo?" Shangguan Ling was taken aback.

"Sister Yao, it wasn't grandma who said that if they all ate white porridge, how much would be enough for so many people to eat, not to mention that all the men in this village can eat it, so I will make the decision and let every family produce some white corn flour to live in the village. We made some steamed buns together, and this steamed bun is not bad if it is mixed with white flour. Many people may not be able to eat it, so it is not rude. After all, although your family is doing well, the money is not for nothing. no?"

After listening to this passage, Shangguan Ling was really heartfelt, and his impression of the patriarch's family was improved several levels, but perhaps it was because of their family tradition and character that they were able to gain the respect and respect of the whole village. convince.

"That's really thanks to Grandma Wang."

"If you want to say thank you, that's why we thank you! Our village has never been as lively as it is today." I am busy with the family's stomach every day, but there is no trace of meat all year round, and now it is better. Not to mention children, it is not difficult for adults to eat once every ten days and a half months.

The old man of their family is right. From now on, with such a sister in our village, it will definitely get better every day.

"Hey, auntie, wait a minute, let's cook and eat this meat in a different way today." Shangguan Ling heard the topic turned to this again, and was about to leave or change the subject when he saw Wang Qingshan's The mother and several daughter-in-laws were about to chop meat with big knives, so they shouted.

She misses the shredded meat when she used to eat big pot rice, so she plans to experience it again today.

"Winter Snow."

Dongxue, who was guarding Xiao Douding and the others over there, heard the shout and hurried over, "Ma'am, are you calling me a slave?"

"Well, go home and get some of my seasonings, which are in the big jar." In case Dongxue took it wrong, Shangguan Ling also specifically mentioned the raw materials of the big jar instead of the prepared sausage of seasonings.

"Yes, ma'am." Dong Xue responded quickly and ran away.

When he came back with a big bag of things in his hand, Shangguan Ling directed everyone to wash the whole piece of meat and throw it into the pot for cooking, and also threw some meat that they had never seen before. Cooking the food together, everyone was a little stunned by this method, and some doubted whether the meat could be eaten?But after a while, an unusual aroma rose, making everyone's eyes widen. Smelling this aroma, everyone wanted to fish it out of the pot and eat it.

The man who was busy setting the table over there asked about the scent, and the glutton in his stomach was also rolling, yelling incessantly, asking what delicious food he made and why it smelled so good.

"Mother, it smells so good." Kid Qin Yixuan didn't care about others, and ran directly to Shangguan Ling's side, with a look on his face that he wanted to eat.

"You little greedy cat, mother will serve it for you." Although it is not fully tasty, it is still edible, so Shangguan Ling scooped up some small pieces, delicious ones, and gave them to some young children, and let Dong Xue Lamei watched before sending the group of little guys away.

"Thank you, mother, you are the best." Qin Yixuan is a child who can act coquettishly and cute now, and he knows his mother's temperament, so he just likes him, so he is very proficient.

"Thank you, Aunt Qin (sister-in-law, auntie)" The rest of the children also thanked politely, which made the daughter-in-law on the side very surprised. After all, parents know very well what their children are like, but now they can be so well behaved. .

"Look, these people who can read and write are different. They are so polite at such a young age." One of the daughters-in-law yelled out of novelty. What is it called Lu Caihua?

"Who says it's not? It would be great if our village could have a private school like Songjia Village. The children in the village would have multiple ways out in the future, right?" Chen Sanniang, the daughter-in-law of the village head's family who stood with her, also followed. Added a sentence.
