A village chief who does not want to be a village chief is not a good villager

After getting back the bamboo and bamboo shoots, the men of Jian's family went to work in the field.

Again, not including Jian Ping.

After Jian Ping taught the women of Jian's family to make spicy bamboo shoots, he went to do his own business.It's just that this matter is more difficult than imagined.

Jian Ping cut those old bamboos into two-meter-long sections, and then cut those cylinders into four equal pieces.

After washing it again, put it in the yard to dry.It's just such a little work, and it's time for lunch when it's done.

The three housewives including Yang Shuxian and the little girl Jian Le are addicted to making spicy bamboo shoots, and they take time to make lunch for them.

So the delivery of lunch at noon this day naturally fell on Jian Ping.

The cattle in the family have also been pulled into the field.After all, now is an important stage of digging the land. If you don't use it, why buy it back.

In order to save trouble, Jian Ping didn't let the family use the rice bowl from before.Instead, use the chopped bamboo to feed a person in three sessions.

One bucket is filled with rice, one is filled with vegetables, and the other is filled with water.I chose the kind of three-section bamboo with one foot long, so that the appetite for one person is definitely enough.

After all, it is too simple to hold four bamboo poles, two pots of food and a bucket.

"Father, it's time to eat!"

When Jian Ping came over, there were still many people in the village delivering meals to those working in the fields.It's just that other people are either big daughter-in-laws or little girls who come to deliver meals, and when they come to Jian Ping's side, they are old men.

All of a sudden, the attention it has attracted is really not ordinary.

Fortunately, there are still some obstacles between men and women these days, and Jian Ping still has a bit of prestige whether he is at home or in the village on weekdays, and he doesn't like to talk, so there are really few people who come to talk to him.

Jian's land is on the edge of the village, but it's not the most edge.The land here can only be regarded as a middle-grade field, and about [-]% of the tax is paid every year.

The tax collected by the imperial court is really not heavy, and it is [-] to [-]% less than that collected by the landlord's family.It's just that there is really little land and a lot of people here, and the average land divided among each person's head is not enough to support a family.

Can you imagine that the grain produced by one mu of land can feed a person for a whole year?This is impossible.

So the life of the people here is still not very easy.

When Jian Ping came over, there were many people in the field here.The one next to Jian's is Mr. Tian's.It's just that in the past, there were always a few people next door, but now there is only one person.

His thin, thin body stood alone on the ground, like a sapling that would be blown down by the wind at any time.

It looks familiar, Tian Wen.

"Tian Wen!"

Jian Ping was originally calling for someone under the big tree in his own field, but when Jian Dazhu and the others led the ox over, he turned his head and saw the little pity in the field next door.

There was no unnecessary change on Jian Ping's face, and he shouted as soon as he opened his mouth.

Then I saw that poor little boy with his back turned to his shoulder, shrinking even smaller.It seems that what I saw before, the sneaky movement of the man trying to move to the other side is really not my own illusion.

Tian Wen stood in the ground, still wanting to continue to shrink his sense of existence.Jian Ping narrowed his eyes slightly, and then shouted again. "Tian Wen, come here!"

This time, there are two more words.And Jian Ping's voice was very low.It was low enough for Tian Wen to hear the anger in his words.

Sure enough, I saw the poor little fellow in the field slowly turn around, and then yelled pitifully at himself. "Brother Jian Ping."

Jian Ping smiled, and Fumi Okita recruited him. "come over."

Jian Ping had a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes.Tian Wen's whole body trembled, and then shrank back.

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but seeing Jian Ping's eyes, Tian Wen shrank his neck again, and then chose to shut up.

Tian Wen held a hoe in his hand, and the height of the hoe almost exceeded his height.It's not that the hoe is too long, but that Tian Wen is really too thin.

Almost every field will plant a tree, so that there is a place to rest when working in summer.

After Tian Wen came over, Jian Ping didn't say much, he pulled him aside and gave him three knots of bamboo. "eat first."

"Ah Wen, come and take a rest, you have been busy all morning."

Jian Dazhu walked over leading the ox, and Jian An waited for Jian Dazhu to lead the ox before taking over and tying the ox's leash to the tree.

In the past two days, Jian Dazhu still loves the cow a little bit, even when he is working in the field, no one else would want to intervene.

Feed and water for the cattle are all brought here in the morning.After all, these things can be prepared in advance, and it is easier to pull them over with a bullock cart.

Although Jian Shun and Jian Feng couldn't touch a cow, their faces were filled with joy.

The four members of the Jian family, father and son, came to take their portion of the meal, and then gathered around the cow and began to eat.After greeting Tian Wen, he stopped talking about other things.

It's not that they don't like Tian Wen, but everyone in the village knows that Tian Wen doesn't like to talk to people.

What's more, they really only have that cow in their hearts now.Moreover, the four of them glanced secretly at the way Jian Ping gave Tian Wen food, and their distressed expressions for Tian Wen also flashed by.

After all, they are all men, so they can't say anything soft.Looking at Tian Wen as a pitiful child, giving him a meal might be one of the few things this group of men can do.

Coupled with fear that Tian Wen would be embarrassed, the four of Jian's father and son pretended not to care and hid aside.

"Well, yes, it looks like it should be a slap." Jian Ping originally planned to have dinner with his family in the field, so naturally he took his share.

But now, his share is naturally in Tian Wen's hands.

Tian Wen carefully untied a small rope, and opened the bamboo tube in the middle that holds the rice.Before he had time to see what was inside, Jian Ping's sudden words made his whole body tremble in fright, and he almost threw the rice out.

Jian Ping held the bamboo tube steady with one hand, and rested on Tian Wen's shoulder with the other.Looking at the red slap marks on Tian Wen's right face, he thought he had been slapped in the morning. If he had been slapped yesterday, the swelling would have gone away overnight.

Tian Qian's palm is big, and Tian Wen's face is small.So that slap not only made half of his face red, even his right eye was a little bruised.The corner of the mouth was slightly torn, and there was a little bloodshot.

Tian Wen kept his head down, because he was afraid that people would see him.It's just that Jian Ping came close to see it, so he could see it clearly.

"Hiss...um!" Although he held back quickly, Jian Ping could still hear the cry of pain clearly.

Jian Ping's eyes became darker, but there was still a smile on his face.Tian Wen looked up at Jian Ping timidly. For some reason, he felt that his surroundings had become chilly.

"Jane, Jane, Brother Jian Ping..."

Tian Wen himself didn't understand what he was afraid of.But seeing Brother Jian Ping like this, he couldn't help but feel guilty.She shrank and stood beside Jian Ping, raised her head, and looked at Jian Ping timidly.

Jian Ping let go of the hand holding Tian Wen's shoulder, it seems that there should be other injuries on his back.

Jian Ping rubbed Tian Wen's head, and the smile on his face became more and more gentle. "It's okay, let's eat first."

Even if there is something wrong, it is definitely not your problem.

Jian Ping directly pulled Tian Wen under the tree and sat down. The bamboo tube had a cover on the last two sections and tied it with a rope, and the top section was completely used to hold water.

So Jian Ping first helped to untie the last two knots of the rope, and stuffed the chopsticks into Tian Wen's hands, letting him eat first.

Tian Wen is the only one in the field of Tian family, and Tian Wu is still studying in the school in the town. Jian Ping does not believe that someone will come to deliver food to Tian Wen.

Just seeing how Tian Wenna wanted to retreat into the field and didn't even think about going home, he knew that he shouldn't have a part in the lunch at noon.

Moreover, as long as Jian Ping dared to go out seeing Tian Wen's bruised nose and swollen face today, he had to suspect that this was Tian Qian's blow to him.

He thought that what he said yesterday was to scare her, so after being frightened all night, he became angry from embarrassment and asked himself to see if she was afraid of him.

Jian Ping pinched Tian Wen's body quickly, and after making sure that the bones were all fine and mostly flesh wounds, he smiled more gently.

Well, it's been a long time since anyone dared to disdain his words so much.

Jian Ping didn't speak, and Tian Wen didn't dare to speak.Sitting next to Jian Ping, shrinking his neck, he quickly stuffed the food into his mouth.

The rice is thick rice with white beans, and the dishes are different. Braised pork with potatoes and stir-fried vegetables, one meat and one vegetable can be regarded as a nutritious combination.

Tian Wen carefully put all the braised pork aside, and then took a bite of the potatoes covered in braised gravy.It was soft and sweet with a strong gravy flavor, and he still didn't dare to speak, but his nose suddenly became congested and his eyes became painful.

After Tian Wen swallowed carefully, he raised his head timidly and passed the things in his hand to Jian Ping. "Brother Jian Ping, you eat."

Jian Ping smiled gently, then pushed the thing back. "You eat, I'll eat later when I go back."

Although Jian Ping had a smile on his face, the unquestionable look in his eyes made Tian Wen shrink his neck again.He muttered his mouth twice, but in the end he still didn't dare to disobey Jian Ping's words, and continued to eat obediently.

"Hey, it's good to have a cow, it's a lot easier to do things!"

Two quarters of an hour later, the four of Jian's father and son were willing to walk over from the cow.The main reason is that the meal is finally finished, and it is time to bring the 'rice bowl' to Jian Ping.

Over the past five years, Tian Wen's appetite has been very small, so he only ate about one-third of the bamboo rice cooked according to Jian Ping's appetite.

The main reason is that I finished eating the coarse rice, and I ate very few dishes, especially the meat, and almost didn't move.

It wasn't that Jian Ping was reluctant to part with these pieces of meat, but he knew that Tian Wen's stomach was almost starved to death.It needs to be warmed up for a while before it can recover. If it suddenly starts to eat big fish and meat, it will be Tian Wen who will suffer in the end.

So watching the child eat some potatoes and vegetables with broth, I didn't say much.

"I..." Jian Ping put all his things in the basket on his back. Before he could finish his words, he heard a sudden miserable cry from the side closer to the foot of the mountain.

"The bandits have come down!"

The shrill screams were comparable to the sound of slaughtering a pig.

Tian Wenmeng gave a shock, and then looked in the direction of the foot of the mountain with a look of horror.

From the land of Jian's family, it is the land of Master Tian, ​​and the past of Master Tian is a small road, and after the small road, there is a few acres of land of a family next to the foot of the mountain.

The land here is all wasteland that was reclaimed later, and everyone in Tian has the least, less than two acres, all of which were reclaimed by Tian Wen alone.

Because this is a wasteland that was reclaimed later, the distance between the land and the land is still a bit far. After all, not all places are suitable for reclamation.

And because this is not the main farmland, there are not many people in the field.

Looking around, including the five members of the Jian family, father and son, there are less than fifteen people in total.

Amidst the shrill screams, three people, one man, two women, ran over quickly from the foot of the mountain.Not to mention the food, even the hoes for farming, they were all thrown in the ground, and there was no time to take care of them.

Jian Ping looked behind those three people, and five slightly stout men were chasing those three people and rushing down the mountain.

Looking at the sticks in each other's hands, and the other holding something like a big knife in his hand, it seems that he is really a bandit.
