Mind reading, taking the rental house through the whole village crying

Chapter 264: Changing to Chives

"Grandma, Fenghuang just told me that there is spring water in the northwest of the foot of the mountain. It is very sweet."

Jiang Fubao estimated that the water in the river could last for ten days at most. With so many fields to be irrigated, it might not be enough time to fetch water from the big river outside Zhangjia Village.

Maybe the autumn harvest will be brought forward.

As for what grandma said, if she brought back a bucket of water from the shop every day, it would probably be enough for her own food, drink and face washing, let alone taking a bath.

Maybe the whole family has to use one basin of water to wash their faces. The thought is unbearable. Although she can enter the space to take a bath, everyone in the family smells bad, but she is the only one who smells good. It's too inconsistent. She can't lie and go to the fairyland to take a bath every night.

Jiang Ruyi, who was sitting opposite Jiang Fubao, heard her words.

Somewhat confused.

Did Phoenix speak just now?

Isn't it my sister who is talking all the time?

Could it be that she heard it wrong?

Although Jiang Ruyi was confused, she didn't say it.

In her heart.

My younger sister is a fairy from heaven who came down to earth and was reborn into our family.

Have the ability to reach the sky.

I guess my sister is the only one who can hear Phoenix talking.

She thought to herself.

"Really? Let's go take a look after dinner. We're back early today anyway, so we can just take a walk."

Zhang Jinlan never doubted her granddaughter's words.

After dinner, she and Jiang Shoujia took their three sons and granddaughter and headed west.

As for Zhu Yingqiu and the others, they stayed at home to wash dishes and clean the yard.

The west is barren and there is no village.

This piece of land is wasteland.

Because there are many stones of different sizes in the soil, not many people come here to open up wasteland and grow crops.

In this dynasty, even if you reclaimed wasteland, it did not mean that the crops you grew would belong to you.

To pay grain tax, it naturally depends entirely on one's own consciousness. After all, the officials will not always keep an eye on whether you have reclaimed the land or not.

But there are too many jealous people in the village.

If you secretly reclaim land without paying grain taxes and get them to know, they will secretly tell the clan leader or village chief. The more ruthless ones will directly tell the officials when you pay taxes, and then you will be in big trouble.

It is possible that all the grain grown on the wasteland was confiscated.

It's really not cost-effective.

Jiang Fubao also heard these by piecing together from various sources.

Holding her grandmother's hand, she walked and walked for nearly fifteen minutes.

Came to an open space.

This piece of land is sandwiched between two high and low mountains on the left and right.

Jiang Fubao suddenly saw a thin stream of water flowing at the foot of the mountain on the right, with many strange-shaped rocks scattered on it.

The big ones are three or four meters tall, while the small ones are only as big as their heads.

They squeezed together to form a small stone hill.

The sun is about to set, and the golden sunset is imprinted on the pool.

She walked over with her grandmother, and when they got close to the pond, the two of them lowered their heads together again.

Look into the water.

"Grandma, there are fish in the water."

Jiang Fubao said excitedly.

"Yes, it is, but it is a little small, only the size of a finger."

Zhang Jinlan's eyesight was not as good as her granddaughter's, so she bent down a little to see clearly.

I saw that the mountain spring water below me was particularly clear.

There are a few pebbles in it.

Jiang Fubao couldn't help but squat down and paddling the water with his hands.

Extremely cold.

"Wow, it's really spring water, um, sweet, but not very big, like the bath tub at home. Yamato, bring the wooden tub over and take two buckets of water back for washing tonight and tomorrow morning."

Zhang Jinlan scooped up some mountain spring water and took a sip.

Sweet and sweet.

It's still cool.

"Grandma, Grandpa, are you going to tell the villagers about the spring water?"

Jiang Fubao stood up, raised his head and looked at them.

"Let's not talk about it for now. The river in the village hasn't dried up yet. Besides, even if it dries up, there is still a big river outside Zhangjia Village. We can keep this spring water for our own use. When the big river runs out of water, or when the water in the big river is no longer drinkable, it won't be too late to tell them.

If we tell them now, they will probably come here to fetch water for the brown rice in the fields. It is a pity to use such good spring water to irrigate the fields. "

Jiang Shoujia has never been a kind person.

Even though he became the clan leader or village chief, he always considered his own family first.

Besides, the pond is very small, even if we tell the villagers.

It's simply not enough.

Look, after fetching two buckets of water, the water level dropped by half, and the water flowing out of the cracks in the rocks was very small, almost the same as the water flowing out of the bamboo pole that his family used to use to draw mountain spring water.

Jiang Fubao was very satisfied with his grandfather's answer.

She stopped talking.

"That's not right, Dad. If that's the case, why are we still planting the land? The river is going to dry up, what will we use to irrigate the land in the future? If we plant brown rice now, when there's no water left, won't the brown rice all wither? Are you going to ask Jiang Cheng and Jiang Meng to fetch water from the river? They'll be exhausted before they finish watering the land."

Jiang Eryong looked at his father with a puzzled look.

If we grow brown rice now, it will take at least three months to harvest.

But the water in the river cannot last until the middle of the moon.

For the remaining two and a half months, do I have to go to the river to fetch water every day?

Although he was cruel, he couldn't bear to work Jiang Cheng and Jiang Meng to death.

"I forgot about this before. Brown rice cannot be grown. It seems that the land tax for this year has to be paid. Oh, I really regret it. If I had known, I would buy it next year. Why did I become impatient after becoming the tribe leader? I didn't expect the river to dry up so quickly.

But don't worry, leeks are the best-selling vegetable in the barbecue shop. When I get back, I will tell Jiang Meng and Jiang Cheng to turn over the newly purchased land, leave the second and third grade lands empty, and use all the first grade land to grow leeks. This stuff can be eaten in a month at most, and it grows in batches, so you don't have to buy it anymore."

Jiang Shoujia slapped his thigh in regret.

Why did he buy the land at this critical moment?

A year's land tax was paid in vain.

You can't grow crops in the land yet.

"It's okay. Anyway, our family bought the land at a much lower price. With this calculation, we have neither lost nor gained. As long as it rains next year, we can continue to grow crops. Okay, it's getting dark soon, let's go back."

Zhang Jinlan had just finished trying to persuade him when she realized it was already getting late.

It will take another quarter of an hour to get back.

She hurried back with her family.

Because Jiang Fubao was young and could not walk for a long time, he was held in his father's arms.

As for the phoenix, it was flying in the sky, following them.

As night fell, many families who could not afford to light oil lamps went to bed early.

Today's moon is hiding in the clouds and refuses to show up.

As a result, it was quite dark outside and one couldn't tell people and animals apart from more than three meters away.

At this time, the town gate would be closed in half an hour.

Bai Qianshan and his wife were pacing back and forth in their yard.

They have been waiting since yesterday.

Neither of them slept well.

Eighty taels of silver disappeared.

And their son suddenly disappeared along with the silver.
