Dressed As a Mother-in-law, She Leads the Whole Family To Turn Over

Tian Feng lowered his head and shed tears pitifully, "But if Erdan hadn't bought my grandma a coffin for her to be buried in, I'm afraid my grandma's body wouldn't even be found after she died! Based on this, Accept whatever you say!"

"Afeng is right. It is said that it is easy to add flowers to a cake, but it is difficult to provide help in times of need. Based on this, your family is the great benefactor of my Huang family! Is it possible that Mrs. Jiang will not appreciate a little kindness?"

Huang Zhengyang was standing at the door with his head tilted, and Jiang Ning couldn't see his expression clearly.

Seeing how stubborn these two people were, she had no choice but to accept it.

Tian Feng bowed and hurriedly left with Huang Zhengyang.

Jiang Ning had just put away the drying paper and dragged the boxes into the warehouse. Before she had time to take a look, people came from the village. First it was the Li family, then the Liu family and the Zhang family. In short, all those who had a good relationship with her on weekdays. coming.

Everyone was talking about it, but they were mainly concerned about what the officials were doing.

Jiang Ning briefly explained and then said in deep thought: "The Imperial Envoy will report the taro to the court when he comes to provide disaster relief. We all have a great harvest this time. It is useless to keep all the taro. If the Imperial Envoy proposes to use it, In the food exchange, everyone keeps enough for their own needs, and the rest can be exchanged.”

Nowadays, every household has a warehouse full of taro. It is estimated that they will not be able to eat it all until the end of next year. It is better to exchange it for food. On the one hand, it can help the government, and on the other hand, it can also get free food. There are pros and cons. .

 The villagers were overjoyed.

Mrs. Liu said: "A-Ning, if the government really says that, you have to inform everyone that my old man planted taro on all fifteen acres of dry land at home. Now even the main room is full of taro, leaving only one for everyone." Although the harvest is quite gratifying, I can’t finish eating it and I don’t know how long it will last. My old man started to worry again.”

"That's right! My family has cultivated ten acres of land and built three houses. There is not enough room for them. I had to build a big thatched shed for storage with my children. I'm worried too!" another woman agreed.

Gao Yong came before they dispersed.

"Ms. Jiang, the imperial envoy just issued an order that the taro in Ping'an County can be exchanged with the government for food. Three kilograms of taro can be exchanged for one kilogram of last year's old rice. Two kilograms of taro can be exchanged for one kilogram of beans or rough flour or miscellaneous grains. Five kilograms of taro can be exchanged with the government. Taro is exchanged for a pound of new rice or a pound of white flour. You can add up the sum and report it to me now. I will bring the grain over tomorrow to exchange.

I have to go to several other villages to inform you. You can discuss it slowly. By the way, who in your village can write? If someone is literate, they can write it down first, which can save a lot of effort. "Gao Yong doesn't think anyone in the village is really literate, but he's just asking.

Jiang Ning muttered: "Let my daughter come."

Everyone was shocked, even Mrs. Li was a little confused, "Xiaoya? Xiaoya can read?"

None of the boys in the village could read a single Chinese character. As a result, her humble granddaughter turned out to be literate. This was a huge shock to Mr. Li.

Jiang Ning smiled and went to call Yang Xiaoya over.

Yang Xiaoya had just entered the door, and everyone's eyes fell on her, making her feel uncomfortable.

Jiang Ning touched her head encouragingly.

Yang Xiaoya walked up to Gao Yong obediently and said, "Uncle Gao, I can help."

Gao Yong squatted down in surprise and asked gently: "What's your name?"

 “My name is Yang Xuejun.” Yang Xiaoya announced her name.

 The villagers were even more surprised.

Liu Shi suddenly looked at Jiang Ning, "When did Xiaoya change her name?"

Jiang Ning explained helplessly: "Her brothers have all changed their big names, so we might as well give her a big name too, and Xiaoya will be her nickname."

Mrs. Zhang said cheerfully: "Don't mention it, Yang Xuejun, this name doesn't sound like a girl from the village." Mrs. Zhang's daughter-in-law Wu Qiaoniang pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Aniang, this name sounds like a lady in the family."

“Yes, yes, you’re right, I can’t!” Mrs. Zhang agreed very much.

Gao Yong suppressed his inner shock and asked, "Can you write two words for Uncle Gao to read?"

"Okay!" Yang Xiaoya immediately ran back to the house, took out a set of four treasures of the study, looked up at Gao Yong, "Uncle Gao, what are you writing?"

Gao Yong touched his chin, "First help Uncle Gao calculate how much taro each household in the village needs to replace."

Yang Xiaoya looked at Mrs. Liu and was the first to write about the village chief’s house, “Grandma, how much does your house cost?”

 Liu and Pang discussed it and said, "Thirty thousand catties."

Gao Yong took a breath of air, "Thirty thousand catties? Auntie, don't think about it anymore?"

Mr. Liu smiled domineeringly, "Our family has planted fifteen acres of taro. Thirty thousand kilograms is the yield of five or six acres. We can still eat the rest until next autumn's harvest. It's a no brainer! Besides, next spring will start. We still have to plant a bunch of taro and harvest it every half a year, so we probably won’t be able to finish it all!”

“Even if it happens, my family will have to replace it with 30,000 kilograms”

 Everyone is rushing to sign up.

Yang Xiaoya kept records in an orderly manner. Gao Yong had only been away for an hour before Yang Xiaoya compiled the data.

Liu and others looked at her with eager eyes, and some even inquired about Jiang Ning's story.

Jiang Ning made excuses one by one to excuse him.

 After the villagers left, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhou had not left yet.

Zhou was about to speak several times but stopped.

Li was more direct, "Hey, when did Xiaoya go to school? She can still write! No one in our village has her ability!"

Jiang Ning explained in a funny way: "Before sending the Three Irons and Four Villages to school, I invited a young gentleman to enlighten them. Xiaoya also followed them for a while. The teacher praised her for being smart and she could understand everything with just a few clicks. No, in just a few months , I know all the words, and now I practice secretly when I have nothing to do, saying that I can’t let her third brother and fourth brother compete with me. As a mother, I have no reason to stop my child from making progress. "

Ms. Li nodded in agreement and said happily: "You still have a long-term perspective. With a mother like you, this child has nothing to worry about in the future!"

Jiang Ning covered his smile and said, "Mom, please don't praise me. I just have something to tell you. Xiaoya wants to learn to be a female celebrity. You know, my hands are so clumsy that I can't even use a hoe. If I can’t hold the needle and thread, I can’t teach it. It just so happens that there is an lady over there in Datou who knows some female needlework and is willing to teach her. I plan to send Xiaoya there during the Chinese New Year, and she can also help Datou Yezi. "

Mrs. Li had no idea that Yang Datou and Liu Ye were opening a shop outside for business. She thought Liu Ye was pregnant, so she asked Xiaoya to go over and help. She immediately smiled from ear to ear and said, "Okay, okay, let Xiaoya come over and you can do it too." Don't worry, if it doesn't work, let your granddaughter-in-law come back. No matter how nice it is outside, it's better than at home, so we can still take care of her here. "

Jiang Ning blinked hard and realized that Li had misunderstood, but she did not explain it, and Li had to repeat it if she said too much.

 Zhou on the side looked disappointed when he heard this.

Jiang Ning asked in confusion: "What do you want to say?"

 “Nothing?” Ms. Zhou lowered her eyes in embarrassment.
