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

In the end, Jian Ping and Tian Wen still bought a donkey and two milk-producing sheep. It wasn’t that Jian Ping didn’t want to be reserved anymore, but it was just a coincidence that the day they went there was such a coincidence that they didn’t even see a cow, let alone a horse.

And it was impossible for Jian Ping to wait at that place, or to run to the town every three days, so he had to buy a donkey first to make do with the means of transportation.

In view of Jian Ping's deep-rooted distrust of Comrade Little Donkey, he even took it as a trial ride for a while, and bought it after confirming that this guy who usually plays a funny role in cartoons can really be a substitute for transportation.

Jian Ping and Tian Wen's backyard also has an area of ​​nearly two mu of land, but they don't even grow any vegetables in the backyard.After all, it is a newly built house, so everything has to be done slowly.

Since Tian Wen wanted to raise some livestock, Jian Ping gave Tian Wen another five piglets.Although this thing stinks a bit when it grows up, Jian Ping still thinks it is the easiest to raise among all the livestock.

Under the temptation of "high" money, the people in Jian's Village have extraordinary mobility.Early the next morning, he helped Jian Ping gather another [-] catties of mung beans and a thousand catties of various herbs.The main thing is bamboo leaves, which are really easy to find.

Jian Ping left a little limit for each family, buying up to five catties of bamboo leaves every day, even so, it is still a lot of income.

This time Jian Ping only sent half of the mung beans to the barracks, and then mainly sent medicinal materials.Mung beans are only worth more than a dozen taels of silver. Even if the whole barracks were exhausted after being pulled by carts all day long, it might not be possible to spend the 500 taels of silver.

Therefore, it is natural to choose the most expensive ones to give away. You can't really let Bai Huankong and Zhou Lin think that you have taken them for granted.

The medicinal materials worth 50 taels on the first day arrived directly at more than 100 taels on the second day.Looking at the accumulated medicinal materials, even Bai Huankong showed a rare smile.

Because Bai Huankong saw it, Jian Ping purchased a lot of cheap hemostatic medicinal materials for the military camp while purchasing medicinal materials that would cool down the fire.

For things like hemostatic drugs, military camps are indispensable.But since someone above wants to embarrass them, such things are naturally allocated very little.

It's still the same sentence, if you give enough money, you just don't give anything.Bai Huankong and Zhou Lin have no doubts at all. I am afraid that by the end of the year, they will be responsible for the food and grass in the barracks.

It was also fortunate that they met Jian Ping, otherwise the two of them would have been even more devastated.And Jian Ping also proved to them again and again that the deposit of 5000 taels given before was definitely not given to the wrong person.

On the third day, it was the time agreed between Jian Ping and the village chief.Jian Ping went to the Li Chang's house again with a pack of dim sum and two catties of pork. When he came out, he got the ownership of all the land on the river beach in the opposite village, which was a full [-] mu.

Because the land could not be sold before, and it was semi-abandoned gravel land, the chief of the 20-mu Lichang took a loophole to collect Jian Ping's [-] taels of silver.

It's not such a good thing to say that it's half-buy and half-free.

And Jian Ping also reciprocated, when he didn't see the village head's relatives bought [-] mu of high-quality farmland from the opposite village.

Because Jian Ping bought all the river beach opposite, invisibly, the river was completely divided into the sphere of influence of Jian's Village.

Jian Ping arranged for people to build a bamboo bridge that day, connecting the two sides of the river.On the other side of the river, a bamboo fence was directly erected outside his field.

The village chief and others saw it and didn't think there was anything wrong.Let’s not say that Jian Ping’s watermelon planting on the river beach is a valuable item. This point of precaution should be taken.

Furthermore, in the geographical position a little south of the equator where they are located, the most indispensable thing is water, so the demand for water from that small river is basically zero.

Even if water is really needed, it is really impossible to dig a well, and there is no need to be so embarrassing as Jian Ping in places where water can flow within five meters.

So under such circumstances, the land in the opposite village is considered to be in the same state as you and me, and everyone is 'equally divided'.

In fact, Jian Ping was quite satisfied with this result.Because although the head of the village had people buy the land in the opposite village, no one would move here.

At that time, the village was almost wiped out by bandits, and the people from the court helped to collect the corpses and build a village tomb, where everyone was buried in the same place.

Because it was too bloody and now that the political situation is becoming more and more stable in Guotai Minan, few people would choose to leave their hometowns to come to this place, so the whole village was deserted.

After Jian Ping reminded the head of the village, the head of the village was also a 'refreshing' person, and directly reported to the court, and razed the vacant village to the ground and turned it into arable land.

In this way, there will be no obstacles for Jian Ping to expand the scope of Jian's Village in the future.

I have to say that the head of the village is really in his favor.

Because of Jian Ping's efforts, the village's use of bamboo has increased a lot.Under Jian Ping's planned command, the bamboo forest on the west side of the village connected to the barracks has begun to expand slowly.

Not only did it grow on the top of the hill, but it also began to grow on both sides of the road.In the past, people in the village didn't think these things were useful, so they naturally wouldn't let them grow wildly.

Now that I know that bamboo can help earn so much money, I naturally started to take good care of it on purpose.Now it is only expanding slowly, and it will take a few years before the neat and lush bamboo forest that Jian Ping wants to see will take shape.

A month passed in this turmoil.Jian Ping not only helped the barracks gather the amount of medicinal materials they wanted, but also got mung beans that could last them for four months.

According to the number of people in the barracks, each person has a mat.In one month, the 5000 taels that Zhou Lin said were all spent.

I made a net profit of 500 taels. After deducting the cost of everything, on average, every household in Jianjia Village can have an income of at least [-] taels of silver.

And for those who are diligent and capable, more than ten taels of silver are not without it.All of a sudden, the entire Jianjia Village was filled with a state of extreme excitement.

You must know that in the past, their family worked tirelessly to serve the land, and they had to depend on the sky for food. If they could get five taels of silver in their hands a year, it would be regarded as the top of the sky.

But now, in just one month, there is actually five taels or even more income.For a while, how could it not be exciting?

And the only one who is incompatible with this cheerful atmosphere is probably Jian Meiren's family.As an accountant, Jian Meiren is not in charge of money, but he still earns five taels of silver a month.

Logically speaking, there should be no dissatisfaction.After all, Jian Meiren only needs to work for three hours a day, two hours in the morning and one hour in the evening, and he just needs to sit in a cool place to keep accounts, and he doesn't even need to walk a few steps, so it can't be considered exhausting.

It's a pity that all of this can't stand Jian Meiren's body is too weak.

"Cough, cough, cough..." At noon, when everyone was taking a nap or taking a break, Jian Meiren's family really couldn't be peaceful at all.

Because the old village head, Jian Liangcai, is still there, Jian Meiren's father and second uncle did not separate from each other.It's just that because the family's population is increasing, they bought the foundations on both sides of the old house and lived in it separately.Because there is no wall in the middle, it is a yard.

The main house of the old house was naturally lived by Jian Liangcai, but Jian Meiren's grandmother had passed away eight years ago, so she didn't suffer from the panic of the war and the days when she didn't have enough to eat.

Because the old father is still there, it is naturally impossible to build a main house on the houses on both sides.With the main house where Jian Liangcai lived as the center point, four large houses were built on each side.It is a really big big house, each of which can almost be used as a suite, the kind where five or six people live in a house without feeling crowded.

The old family is on the east side, and the second child's house is on the west side.After all, Jian Liangcai only has two sons, but the two sons also have their own children.If more houses are not built, it will be a big problem to live in them.

Because Jian Meiren is in poor health, she has to boil traditional Chinese medicine all year round and keeps coughing, so she lives on the far side, so as not to disturb her family too much.

But at noon, when everyone else was sleeping, it was impossible to pretend that such a piercing cough was inaudible.

So soon, Jian Meiren's parents and second uncle all walked over from them, looking at Jian Meiren who was sitting at the desk with a handkerchief covering his mouth and coughing with an uncomfortable expression on his face.

"Meiren, you are..." Jian Meiren's father, Jian Chende, quickly rushed to Jian Meiren's side, and then carefully supported the eldest son, helping him pat on the back.

After Jian Chende took a few shots, Jian Meiren's mother-in-law Li Shu also poured a mouthful of hot water from the table not far away, and brought it carefully to Jian Meiren's mouth.

"Aren, if we can't do it, let's go and have a look. Why are you holding back like this... woohoo." After only a few words, Li Shu couldn't help crying softly.

Jian Meiren's current appearance is really too miserable.The long gown that I just made this year has become much wider in less than two months.

The wrist outside the sleeve was even a little thinner than a woman's wrist.Even because of the severe coughing, his face didn't produce much flushing, but became even paler, even showing a scary blue color.

Whether it was on the back of the hand, neck, or even the face, those blood vessels obviously made people feel that if Jian Meiren exerted a little more force, the blood vessels would burst.

And the eyes that are always smiling on weekdays are now only tired.When I saw a few relatives, I smiled a little more.

"Mom, I feel that I'm much better this year. Look, I can still get out of bed now, doesn't it mean that my health is getting better again?"

Seeing that Jian Meiren was weak, but still trying to put on a smiling face to reassure everyone.Even Jian Meiren's second uncle Jian Chenxing turned his head and couldn't bear to continue watching.

"Aren, what are you working so hard for? Our family doesn't lack a bite of food for you!" Jian Chenxing took a deep breath towards the door, calmed down before walking in.

After seeing the things on the table, my heart became even more sour.On Jian Meiren's desk were some ledgers and some copied books.

Even if the former doesn't know what to do, the latter can see that this is trying to make money.

Jian Meiren followed his second uncle's gaze and glanced at his desktop, and this time the smile on his face became more obvious. "Jian Ping is kind-hearted, and gave me this opportunity. So I thought... I could make more money, and I can't just take things for granted. How can I say that I'm a big man."

Jian Meiren patted his father's arm, and sat down by himself.When looking at the family, it is really joy from the heart.

Jian Meiren's body has been ruined for more than ten years, and someday in these ten years, he will hang his life with money.In fact, he knew that the main reason why grandpa didn't separate the family was that he wanted the second uncle to take care of their family.

Jian Meiren is grateful for his family's love for him, let alone just enjoy without giving because of his weak body.

What's more, Doctor Yang also said that he may be here this year.After he passed away, the burden on the family would be lighter, but as a husband and father, he always wanted to leave something for his wife and daughter.

Not only his wife and daughter, but also his grandfather, parents, second uncle and second aunt and his family, he wanted to repay them well.

It's just...the time left for him is really running out.

Thinking of this, Jian Meiren's heart also ached.If possible, he doesn't want his family's white-haired person to give away his black-haired person. It's such a sad life.

"Daddy takes good care of his illness, Niuniu already knows how to embroider, and when Niuniu earns money, I can buy medicine for Daddy!"

A few adults were talking, but little Niu Niu ran in from outside with a small plate.There were two or three candied dates on the plate, which the little girl would feed to her father's sweet mouth every time Jian Meiren drank the medicine.

Seeing this, the adults looked out tacitly, and saw Wu Yun standing outside with red eyes holding the freshly boiled Chinese medicine.

When people looked over, Wu Yun took a deep breath and forcefully forced back the tears in her eyes, preventing Jian Meiren from seeing any of them.

It's just that the reddish eye sockets still revealed her previous mood.

"Yes, sir, Niu Niu said that she will be the first one to make your clothes after she learns how to tailor." Wu Yun walked to Jian Meiren with the traditional Chinese medicine in her hand.

Putting the bowl of dark Chinese medicine on the table, his tone also pretended to be high and joking. "Okay, don't think that you don't need to drink medicine if you say those things. You'd better take it easy if the medicine tastes bad."

Jian Meiren smiled helplessly, looked at his family, at his wife and daughter, at their reddish eye sockets but still pretended to be strong to comfort himself.

Jian Meiren quickly picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all in one go.He used the raised medicine bowl to block his reddened eyes.

"Daddy, Daddy, open your mouth!" Amidst Xiao Niuniu's anxious cry, Jian Meiren opened her mouth skillfully, and the next moment, a sweet and greasy taste came from her mouth.

Chewing the candied fruit in his mouth, Jian Meiren felt that his heart seemed to be stuck in paste, making it difficult for him to breathe.

However, this kind of discomfort filled my heart.
