Traveling through the famine years with the system to raise cubs

"What do you mean? It doesn't mean anything. Brother Zhishan, why are you blushing?" Zhao Erleng's daughter-in-law looked at Jiang Zhishan strangely and asked.

"Sister-in-law Er Leng, hurry up and get busy, I need to reclaim wasteland!" Seeing this, Jiang Ling quickly smoothed things over.

Zhao Erleng's daughter-in-law was straightforward and didn't think too much about it. She nodded and smiled and turned to walk towards her own field.

"Don't worry too much, they have no bad intentions!" Jiang Ling patted Jiang Zhishan on the shoulder and said.

Jiang Zhishan nodded and continued to work. Just after working for a while, the loud voice of Zhao Erling's wife came to Jiang Ling's ears again.

"Sister-in-law Jiang, we are here to help you!" Jiang Ling looked up, and saw Zhao Erleng's daughter-in-law appearing in front of Jiang Ling with a group of people, all of whom looked at Jiang Ling with hoes and smiles.

Jiang Ling was a little puzzled, and just about to ask, the fast-talking Zhao Erleng's daughter-in-law said first: "You have helped us so much, and now your family needs to open up wasteland, it is our big fellow's business, don't worry, we are here with you I guarantee that the [-] acres of wasteland will be completely opened today!"

"Is it everyone?" Zhao Erleng's daughter-in-law turned her head and asked the people behind her.

"Yes!" Everyone raised their hoes and shouted in unison.

The dark figures walked quickly to Jiang Ling's field and worked hard. These peasants worked very fast. Before the sun set, Jiang Ling's wasteland had already been half opened.

Jiang Ling was worried that they were too tired and hurriedly said: "Forget about today, I will pay everyone at my house in a while according to the salary of five copper coins per person!"

"What? Sister Jiang, we didn't want your money for our work!" Zhao Erleng's daughter-in-law shook her hand and refused after hearing this.

"Everyone, this is your income from labor. Don't shirk it. I still want to build a house here in the future, and I will still need manpower!" Jiang Ling said with a smile.

Seeing that none of the big guys nodded, Jiang Ling quickly turned to Jiang Zhishan and said, "Brother, go to the box and get a hundred copper coins, and pay these brothers and sisters-in-law!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhishan turned and ran towards the old house.

The people around were even more flustered when they saw this. Zhao Erleng's daughter-in-law scratched her head in embarrassment and said, "Sister-in-law, don't you say that we are offended? You found the water source and controlled the locusts. If you calculate it this way, it is actually We owe you!"

Jiang Ling pursed her lips and smiled, comfortingly said: "Sister-in-law Er Leng, everyone who owes everything is from the same village, we don't say that!"

Zhao Erling's daughter-in-law looked at Jiang Ling and continued: "Then...then why pay us wages?"

"Because I still want to ask you to help me build adobe for me in the future! If you help me with the work this time without charging me, how can I have the nerve to find you in the future?"

With a few words, Jiang Ling led Zhao Erleng's wife in. Zhao Erleng's wife always felt that Jiang Ling's words were wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. In the end, she could only scratch her head and frown at Jiang Ling.

Jiang Zhishan's feet were fast, and he ran back with a hundred copper coins in a short while. Jiang Ling put five copper coins in everyone's hands at a time. These people either took the copper coins in trepidation, or smiled.

After handing out the last copper plate, Jiang Ling looked at the crowd and said, "After a while, I need some people to help me make adobe, and I hope everyone can help me then."

"Hey, sister-in-law Jiang, what are you talking about, whether you can help me or not, just say something when the time comes, and I will definitely bring my men over here first!"

"Yes, yes! As long as Mrs. Jiang says something, we will definitely participate!"

Everyone echoed in eagerness.

Jiang Ling thanked everyone with a smile, and everyone left Jiang Ling's land happily.

Seeing that a large area had been reclaimed, Jiang Ling sprinkled cotton seeds one by one, and finally covered it with the well-turned soil.

After working all afternoon, Jiang Ling only felt sore back and backache, and Jiang Zhishan was not much better. It was just one afternoon, and when there were still people helping, Jiang Zhishan only felt that his arms were as uncomfortable as being filled with lead.

After returning home, Jiang Ling started busy cooking again. After dinner, some children from the same village came to Jiang Ling's yard and listened to Jiang Zhishan's lecture seriously.

"Jiang Shi, come out!" The village head knocked on Jiang Ling's door lightly and said.

Jiang Ling hurriedly got up and opened the door and walked out. The village chief glanced at Jiang Ling's yard with a smile on his face and asked, "I already knew about Jiang Zhishan's teaching. Now that there are more children, there is just a block in the Lu Family Ancestral Hall." There is an open space, if not, I will take classes there in the future.”

"Oh, by the way, you take these candles. If Jiang Zhishan is inconvenient to teach during the day, use these candles to light up at night!" The village head took out several candles as thick as a baby's arm from his arms and put them on Jiang Ling's hand .

Jiang Ling thanked the village chief again and again, but the village chief looked at the sky and said, "I should be the one who should say thank you. Our Lujia Village has never had a child, let alone a scholar!"

"We are not like your mother's village. We have private schools. We all suffer from illiteracy. Now that Jiang Zhishan is here, I can feel more at ease!" The village chief was a little excited as he spoke.

Jiang Ling quickly said: "Zhishan may not stay here for long, but there should be three to five months! Village chief, don't worry!"

Jiang Ling originally thought that the village head would show a disappointed expression after hearing this, but unexpectedly the village head said with a satisfied face: "Okay, thank you brother for me, three to five months is enough for these children to read and write for a long time!"

"By the way, your Qiming should be sent back the day after tomorrow, and I'll bring it to you then!" the village chief added.

After Jiang Ling nodded to thank the village chief, the village chief turned and left.

After more than an hour, the children left Jiang Ling's house one after another. Jiang Ling looked at Jiang Zhishan who was covered in mud and said, "Take off your clothes. I'll wash them for you."

Jiang Zhishan hesitated for a long time with a blushing face, and finally said: "Elder sister, I didn't bring a change of clothes."

Jiang Ling was speechless, and blamed himself for being too busy recently. Jiang Zhishan hadn't changed clothes for several days, and Jiang Ling didn't notice. Jiang Ling sighed helplessly. It seemed that he would go to Changning Town tomorrow. He said to Jiang Zhishan: "Then let's go to the town with Eldest Sister tomorrow, and Eldest Sister will buy you a few feet of cloth to make a new dress for you!"

"Don't refuse, I won't be happy if you are polite to me!" Jiang Ling had already predicted what Jiang Zhishan wanted to say and quickly added.

Early the next morning, Jiang Ling brought Jiang Zhishan to Changning Town again, bought some pastries and a few feet of dark blue coarse cloth this time, and went home.

As soon as she reached the door of Zhao Erleng's house, Jiang Ling stopped suddenly, and at the same time she grabbed Jiang Zhishan behind her. Before Jiang Zhishan could react, Jiang Ling pulled Jiang Zhishan to hide behind the big tree next to her.

"Big... Big sister, who is this?" Jiang Zhishan looked at Jiang Ling strangely and asked.

"Shh..." Jiang Ling made a silent gesture to Jiang Zhishan, and then pointed in the direction of his home.

The two of them froze in place as they watched the scene in front of them.
