Farming and teaching across different worlds

All dug up so that the saplings can be planted as soon as they arrive.

Ji Xiuran's movement was so big, the villagers naturally knew about it and were very curious.

The village chief couldn't help but come over and ask, after all, Ji Xiuran used the land for experiments, in their view it was a waste of land.

Ji Xiuran explained with a smile, and the village chief saw that he knew it well, so he didn't say any more.

In March, the materials for the bridge were ready.

The village head asked Ji Xiuran to check it out.

Ji Xiuran went to the open space by the river, saw the piled up stones and wood, and nodded with satisfaction.

Then give the drawings of the scaffolding and the rocker, and let people prepare the long bamboo and wood.

After more than ten days, these things were made, and after spring plowing, at the end of April, the bridge repair project began vigorously.

All the people in the village were dispatched, and they all had experience in building houses, so they built quickly according to the drawings.

After two months, the stone arch bridge came to an end.

It was almost July and only a few decorative railings were left unfinished.

Everyone in the village worked overtime around the clock like chicken blood, and the project was completed in mid-July.

On the last day, all the people in the village spontaneously gathered by the river, staring at the actions of the construction workers with burning eyes.

The last arch stone fell, and the construction workers couldn't help cheering.

The crowd of onlookers immediately burst into cheers, and everyone's faces were filled with joyful smiles.

Several old men in the village were also standing there supported by their nephews, sharing the joy of this moment.

Although children do not quite understand the true meaning of all this, it does not prevent them from being excited.

While the village chief was happy, he couldn't help but shed tears of joy.

Now, as if a switch had been turned on, the crowd burst into sobs one after another, and they all wept with joy.

When the oldest ancestor of the Wu family in the village trembled up the stone bridge with the support of his grandson, the crowd quieted down and waited with bated breath.

The old man passed the stone bridge safely and stood on the other side. The crowd immediately cheered and rushed to board the stone bridge.

They touched every part of the stone bridge devoutly.

Chapter 34

Standing by the bridge and seeing this scene, Ji Xiuran was deeply touched.His original intention of building this stone bridge was to develop his own college.And everything he did before, the establishment of the milling workshop, and the purchase of land, all came around this purpose, but he didn't think about how he felt at the time, how much impact it would have on Qingshan Village, and he didn't think about what he had done. Everything, how much has changed the villagers of Qingshan Village.

With the support of his grandson, Mrs. Wu walked up to Ji Xiuran, all the villagers surrounded them, and the village head came out from the crowd and came to the two of them.

The old man solemnly bowed to Ji Xiuran, and Ji Xiuran quickly moved aside, stepped forward quickly, and helped him up.

"My child, thank you." The old man was very excited.

The surrounding villagers also expressed their gratitude one after another, with expressions of gratitude on their faces.The village head looked at the villagers who were very excited, and Ji Xiuran stepped forward and said, "Okay, okay, we have finished the bridge today, and we will have a banquet to celebrate tonight, everyone should go away." , Just keep your feelings for Xiuran in your heart."

Ji Xiuran looked at him gratefully.

He has done so much completely unconsciously, and he feels worthy of the villagers' gratitude to him.

Ji Xiuran lowered his head and lowered his eyes, not wanting others to find out the discomfort in his heart.Shi Jingchen felt the obvious change of breath on his body, took him into his arms, and comforted his back.

"I don't deserve the gratitude of the villagers. I didn't think about it that much at all, and I'm not as good as they imagined in their hearts. In fact, I am a selfish person. I did all this for myself." Ji Xiuran's muffled voice came from Shi Jingchen's chest.He was completely in a mood of self-reflection.

"Xiu Ran is great, in my opinion Xiu Ran is the best." Shi Jingchen comforted Ji Xiuran clumsily. "The results are good enough."

Feeling Shi Jingchen's comfort and worry, Ji Xiuran smiled sullenly. He didn't expect that his third elder brother would be so good at comforting others, and the words he said were so simple and heartwarming.That's right, as long as the result is good, what does he care about the original intention, and when he first did these things, he didn't think that he would be rewarded, and he didn't really care about those reputations.

So it's good to relax yourself, there is no need to think so much.

Ji Xiuran wrapped his arms around Shi Jingchen's waist, feeling fortunate to have him by his side all the time.

With the bridge, the people of Qingshan Village can go to the town without hindrance. This stone bridge has a flat deck, and it is very spacious even if two carriages run side by side.People in the village will stroll here to have a look if they have nothing to do, and children also like to play and play on the bridge.

With the bridge, it will be much more convenient for people in their village to travel. Before, Uncle Li’s ferry was the most convenient choice for the village to travel. Now it doesn’t take much time to walk to the town.

And before Ji Xiuran considered that Uncle Li has always taken care of the original owner and himself, and thought that after the bridge was built, it would affect Uncle Li's ferry business and reduce their family's income, so he greeted him in advance, and Uncle Li took care of himself. I sold my black awning boat and bought an ox cart. After passing the bridge, I started to drive the ox cart to make money.

Today, Ji Xiuran took advantage of the school break to go to town in Uncle Li's bullock cart early in the morning with his family.It is convenient to travel now, and good people in the village take advantage of this time to go to town by car.

When Ji's mother arrived, she saw Mrs. Wu sitting in the car, and greeted her: "Sister-in-law Wu, you are going to the market too."

"That's right, the brothers and sisters of the Ji family are also out, yell, the whole family is also dispatched, come and sit next to me." Aunt Wu also talked to her enthusiastically when she heard Mother Ji's greeting, and gave her the seat next to her. sit.

It wasn't too early for them to come, some people were already sitting in the car, there were not many empty seats, and the cars were full of women and children, and the men were standing beside them.

Father Ji, elder brother Ji, second elder brother Ji, Shi Jingchen and Ji Xiuran didn't get in the car. Aunt Ji and Second Sister Ji took a few children and got in. The aunts in the car saw Ji Xiuran standing beside them and said enthusiastically, "Xiu Ran Come up and sit down, we can still sit down if we squeeze together."

Ji Xiuran hurriedly waved his hand and said no, Ji's mother saw that although she was also worried that her son would be tired, but it was really outrageous to be squeezed among a bunch of women, so she hurriedly said: "No, he is a young man, it's good to go for a walk and exercise more. "In the past, Ji's mother would never say this, but now Ji Xiuran's physical condition is much better, and the Ji family has changed their previous cautious mentality.

Ji Xiuran walked with the others. Fortunately, his exercise during this period has worked, and he didn't feel particularly tired after walking for such a long time.Shi Jingchen walked by his side and kept an eye on his condition, only to rest assured that he could really persevere.

Before the Ji family needed anything, they bought it directly from the county seat. Ji Xiuran would go to the county seat once a month, so it was very convenient to bring things. Every April and Ninth is the episode, and today is just in time for the fourth episode.

The Ji family had discussed it before, and planned to buy a cow for the family, which happened to be available for the next busy farming season, and they often went to the county town, so it was much more convenient to have an ox cart.

The bazaar was very lively, and Uncle Li drove the ox cart to the entrance of the bazaar and stopped.All the hitchhikers in the village got off and went where they wanted to go.

When the Ji family arrived at the market and agreed to wait at the entrance after shopping, they split up. Ji's mother took two daughters-in-law and two granddaughters to buy some daily necessities, and Ji's father took Ji's eldest and Ji's second son to buy. Animals, the animal market smells bad, they didn't want Ji Xiuran to suffer this, so they suggested that Ji Xiuran and Shi Jingchen take a few little brats to the market together.Naturally, Ji Xiuran would not have any objections.

So he took the three Daqing brothers and Shi Jingchen to the market to buy snacks.

The bazaar in the town is relatively large and has a relatively complete range of items. There are separate areas for various commodities. The few of them wandered around at will, so they went to the place to buy cooked food first, and first bought some food for the children. Let them be quiet.

When they walked to the place to buy food, they found that there were still some food stalls, such as maltose, candied haws, taro syrup, fried cakes, cakes, and other snacks, as well as noodle stalls, wonton stalls, and stewed meat stalls. Many.

Ji Xiuran bought a bunch of candied haws for each of the children, Daqing and the others ate the candied haws, and quietly followed them, not running around.

Ji Xiuran was a little tired after walking all the way, so he went to the noodle stall and ordered a big bowl of noodles, and found a seat to sit down.

"Third Brother, you eat." Ji Xiuran picked out some noodles and put the big bowl in front of Shi Jingchen. He just wanted to find a place to sit, not really want to eat.And Shi Jingchen eats a lot, he came out early in the morning, and now he has almost digested breakfast, this bowl is just right for him.

Several children looked at the sliced ​​meat in the bowl, eager to eat it.

The life of the Ji family is much better now, and they can often eat meat, but as a child, it is always difficult to control themselves when they see delicious food.

Shi Jingchen is also a person who loves a few children very much. Seeing them like this, he naturally couldn't bear it. He picked up the meat in the bowl and divided each of them. There were not many slices of meat in it, so he had nothing to eat .

Ji Xiuran is not someone who would treat his nephew harshly. Before, he only wanted a bowl of noodles, and he also considered that a few children are not very good.
