The husband is the future chief [infrastructure]

Originally, Jiang Ziyan thought that when he made money, he would repair the house first so that it would be convenient for the winter. Now that he has the 900 taels of silver, he can directly buy a small yard in the town and take Lin Zhao and Lin Xing to live together.

After returning home, Jiang Ziyan told Lin Zhao what he thought, and Lin Zhao always listened to him.

The next day, Jiang Ziyan bought eggs with great fanfare in the village, and an egg was worth three Wen.Eggs are meaty these days and are worth more than a steamed stuffed bun.He bought it once before, and everyone in the village who wanted to sell eggs came to him.

He negotiated with Yuanwai Zhao that he would sell eggs for five cents each, supply them once every seven days, and earn two cents each, but if he bought more, he could make a lot of money.

He bought a donkey cart. Cows are used to plow the land these days, so they are much more expensive. As for horses, they are even more unaffordable.

Lin Zhao was very skillful. He wove several large bamboo baskets for eggs.

After everything was ready, Jiang Ziyan found a problem, he couldn't drive the donkey cart.Lin Zhao collects eggs at home, and he is responsible for pulling them to the town to deliver to shopkeeper Wu, so he can only find someone to drive the car.

One day, Jiang Ziyan knocked on the door of Aunt Li's house next door, and with a creak, Aunt Li opened the door with her little grandson in her arms.

Aunt Li has a round face and a slightly chubby figure. She is tanned from the sun from working in the fields for a long time, with round eyes and a very kind-hearted look.In the past few years, Aunt Li has taken care of Lin Zhao and his brothers.

"Who did I say, it turned out to be Xiaoyan, what's the matter, do you have something to ask your aunt? Come, come, come to the house and talk."

Jiang Ziyan followed her into the house, and Aunt Li's eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law were also there. He said, "It's such an aunt. I have collected a lot of eggs these days. I need to transport them to the town and buy a donkey." donkey cart, but I don’t know how to drive a donkey cart, so I want to ask my aunt if she knows anyone in the village who can drive a donkey cart, and can you recommend it?”

When Aunt Li heard this, she didn't understand what it meant. There were not a few people in the village who could drive donkey carts. Why did she only come to her house to talk about this matter?

Her youngest son didn't have any skills, and last month he was working outside and hurt his leg again. After he got better, he couldn't find a suitable job. At this time, Jiang Ziyan came to the door and said that the meaning was already obvious.

Aunt Li pushed her youngest son, "Xiaoyan, look at my useless little son, he used to be a groom for the master's family in the town, but he injured his leg last month. I was pushed by others, and now I have been idle at home."

Jiang Ziyan smiled, "That's good. If there is no problem, I can come to work tomorrow. This job takes about four days a month, fifty cash a day, and the salary is monthly. Do you think it's okay?"

Aunt Li was almost in tears when she heard the words. She is worried about this matter recently. The eldest daughter-in-law just gave birth to a son, and the family expenses have increased a lot. This job only needs to go four times a month. , not tired.

At other times, I can also help the family with farm work, which is really a timely help.

She took Jiang Ziyan's hand very excitedly, "Auntie, I really want to thank you, if you need anything in the future, just talk to Auntie, ah, don't talk to Auntie." After talking, she pulled her younger son and said, "Qingshan, You have to work hard with Xiaoyan, you understand?"

Qing Shan had a simple and honest face, he looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, he expressed gratitude, "Mother, don't worry, I will be obedient."

Jiang Ziyan made an appointment with Qingshan for tomorrow's departure and went back.

The purchased eggs were a bit too much, so they were not put away in the kitchen, and the rest were put in the utility room where Jiang Ziyan slept.This meant that at night, three people had to sleep in one bed.

After dark, Jiang Ziyan came over with a lamp.

Jiang Ziyan asked: "Can I sleep well? Otherwise, I'll take the mattress and sleep on the floor."

"No, it's enough to sleep on. This bed is big enough to sleep on. Don't sleep on the floor, or you'll catch a cold." Lin Zhao strongly objected, frowning.

Jiang Ziyan looked at him, nodded after a while, "Okay then."

Lin Zhao didn't know if it was out of selfishness, he let Lin Xing sleep on the innermost side, he slept in the middle, and Jiang Ziyan slept on the outermost side.

Jiang Ziyan did not sleep on the other side, but directly lifted the quilt and slept next to Lin Zhao on the outermost side.

Lin Zhao felt a warm breath coming from his side. He was afraid of squeezing Jiang Ziyan, so he moved in to keep a distance from him as much as possible.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ziyan suddenly stopped him and put his arms around his shoulders: "Don't move, the quilt is not too big, so it's warmer to sleep next to each other." He used to sleep on the same bed with his best friend in the school dormitory However, the small bed is only [-] meters wide, so there is nothing he is not used to.

It's just that Lin Zhao is not used to it yet, he leans so close, besides the smell of bedding, there is also the smell of Jiang Ziyan on the tip of his nose.

Strange, the two of them washed their clothes together, for some reason he just felt that Jiang Ziyan smelled better.

Lying on the bed, neither of them fell asleep, someone got up, and they started talking.

Jiang Ziyan said: "Azhao, when the eggs are sold tomorrow, you can go to the town with me to look at the house. The money I have in hand can buy a small yard, and you and Xing Xing can both move here."

Jiang Ziyan was lying flat, Lin Zhao turned sideways and saw his delicate brow bones and a trace of raised eyebrows, he felt a little uneasy, "Shall I move there with my brother?"

"Of course, since you saved me, we are a family. You and Xing Xing are my younger brothers. I will protect you from now on."

Lin Zhao's eyes were hot. This was the first time he heard someone say they wanted to protect him and his brother.

Jiang Ziyan, why is he so good, how can there be such a good person as Jiang Ziyan in the world...

Jiang Ziyan didn't hear Lin Zhao's response for a long time. He thought he was asleep, and just when he was about to sleep, he heard a sentence in his ear: "Brother, you are so kind."

So good that he wanted to keep it for himself.

Just after breakfast, Qingshan was already waiting.

Before Jiang Ziyan could greet him, he diligently loaded the eggs into the donkey cart one by one.The donkey cart was covered with thick thatch, and Jiang Ziyan wrapped a layer of quilts at the bottom of the basket. The donkey cart drove very slowly along the way, and there were still some bumps when it reached the place.

After the eggs were sold out, Jiang Ziyan gave Qingshan [-] Wen, "Qingshan, you can take the money to eat some food in the town at noon, and Azhao and I are going to go inside and meet here in the afternoon. "

"Good host."

Jiang Ziyan had mentioned to Shopkeeper Wu before that he wanted to buy a courtyard. Shopkeeper Wu was very enthusiastic and introduced one to him, so I happened to go over to have a look today.

The yard is not very big, not very close to the market, and the environment is very good. After entering the door, there is a small vegetable field on the left, and a well next to it.In the middle is the main hall. There are two rooms on each side of the main hall. There are two ancillary rooms on the right side of the yard. One is a utility room and the other is a kitchen, which just meet their needs.

Jiang Ziyan looked very satisfied, so he made a decision and settled on the yard.

In the evening, Jiang Ziyan specially bought a chicken and went home. He stewed the chicken, added ginger and shallots, and added some salt. Although it was light, the taste was not bad. Lin Zhao drank two bowls, and Lin Xing also drank a big one. bowl.

There are too few condiments here, no light soy sauce, no chilli, no oyster sauce, the cooked rice has only a light taste, but Lin Zhao and Lin Xing are very satisfied.

After feeding for this period of time, Lin Xing's face was fattened up a lot, and the flesh on his face was so soft that Jiang Ziyan couldn't help pinching it twice.
