After parting ways with Chen Shaobei, Chen Ye drove and Shen Ningning took Jiang Zhi back to Xiangyun Village.
Before entering the village, Jiang Zhi was already a little surprised.
At the foot of the village entrance slope, there is a merit monument, and there is a large white stone archway at the entrance.
The plaque given by the emperor himself hangs in the center.
Jiang Zhi raised her neck and sighed: "Your village is really famous."
Shen Ningning shook her head and smiled: "Everyone is still very united!"
She ran into the village with her little feet. Along the way, there were villagers carrying water to water the loquat trees. Jiang Zhi Watching Shen Ningning say hello one by one.
When every villager saw Shen Ningning, the love bursting out of their eyes didn't seem fake.
It seems to be a really peaceful and peaceful village.
Shen Ningning called a child to stop.
"Xiaohu! Give me a message to Aunt Liu. Let her come to my house to find me later. I have something to ask her for help."
Liu Xiaohu wiped his nose and said, "I know, Sister Xiaolang."
Jiang Zhi walked along the village road again. After taking a few steps forward, after a while, the sight in front of me suddenly widened.
The fields are criss-crossed, and each house is covered with black tiles that are cold in summer and hot in winter. It has a fenced yard and wooden doors painted in red. At first glance, it looks as new as ever.
Every two steps you take, you can see the lush green loquat trees in the courtyard.
Children ran and played barefoot, and old people gathered in twos and threes under the shade of the trees to chat.
Jiang Zhi discovered that children as young as three years old and elderly people as old as eighty-eight years old all had rosy complexions.
It doesn't look like he's lacking food or water at all.
You know what it's like outside Xiangyun Village.
The drought was so severe that the sun directly cracked the land, making it impossible for any grass to grow.
Many people were so hungry that they looked sallow and thin, and corpses could be seen everywhere on the roadside.
In comparison, Xiangyun Village is like a paradise.
Shen Ningning took Jiang Zhi to the door of her village house and took out two sets of keys.
"Sister Jiang, this is the key to my house." Chen Ye was not here, so the little guy called her as usual.
As soon as the door opened, Jiang Zhi saw a neat courtyard with tall houses and the best tiles.
She turned around and saw that it was a new house that she had never lived in before.
"Sister Ningning," Jiang Zhi was a little embarrassed: "Your house is so nice, I'd better go back to the city." Shen Ningning stretched out her little hand and grabbed her: "There is no place for you to stay in the city
!"
Seeing what Jiang Zhi was thinking, the little guy said Nuonuo: "Sister Jiang, don't worry, I'm not letting you live in vain."
After hearing this, Jiang Zhi was really happy: "Is there anything you need my help with?" ? Just say it!"
"Now is not the time. You can settle down for now. You will be busy tomorrow." After Shen Ningning finished speaking, Jiang Zhicai nodded.
The village house had two rooms, one larger and one smaller, so Jiang Zhi chose the smallest one.
The cabinets were filled with clean bedding and pillows that Grandma Qin had made before. Shen Ningning took them out for Jiang Zhi to use.
The house is fully equipped, including candlesticks, tables and chairs, paper and pens.
Shen Ningning said: "The kitchen is too clean and there is nothing to eat. I will bring the wolves over later and give you some food."
Granny Chen's smiling voice came from the door: "Brother Jiang, if you don't want to cook in the future, , just go to my place to eat."
Chen Ye helped her into the yard, and it seemed that he had already told Granny Chen about Jiang Zhi's origins.
Since he was Shen Ningning's friend, he was also a friend of their Xiangyun Village.
Shen Ningning introduced with a smile: "This is Granny Chen, Brother Chen is her son, and she is also your neighbor."
Jiang Zhi quickly clasped her fists and saluted: "Hello Granny Chen!"
At this time, the crazy scholar leaned on crutches and listened. Came over to the sound.
"Disciple, disciple." He called, his eyes had just been covered with medicine and were still wrapped in white bandages. Shen Ningning hurriedly ran over: "Master, why are you coming out again? The shopkeeper said that when you apply medicine, your eyes should not see bright light."
The crazy scholar has a slim figure, and his smile has a strong literary atmosphere.
"I see that you haven't come to study for several days. Let me remind you that you have to come in the afternoon."
"Okay, okay, go home quickly and take good care of your eyes!" Shen Ningning's small figure helped the crazy scholar away. go back.
When Shen Ningning came back, the old village chief came over again: "Ningning, Ningning! I want to ask you for advice on something."
"Recently, Mr. Quan, a wealthy businessman in the city celebrated his birthday and wanted to buy our loquat candy. He said it would be per catty. Give him an extra two taels of silver, but he wants us to give him something as a gift.
"I'm old, so I don't know what to give him. Please give me some ideas."
Shen Ningning's round and red face showed deep thoughts.
"Well, ours is a small business, and the money he adds is not much, but giving things away will gain a good reputation."
"Like this, pick one hundred and eight loquat leaves and tie them up.
" The number one hundred and eight, in Buddhism, means good luck and getting rid of worries.
Not only that, Shen Ningning remembered: "Grandpa, village chief, wait for me."
She quickly ran into the house with her little feet.
Jiang Zhi poked her head and watched her pull out the pen and paper, hastily sharpened the ink, and then wrote something eloquently.
She looked away and met the old village chief's gaze.
"Hello, village chief!" Jiang Zhi greeted angrily.
The old village chief nodded slightly and smiled: "You are Ning Ning's friend, right?"
"Yes, I will live here in the short term. If the village chief needs any help, feel free to call me." Jiang Zhi said After that, the old village chief said yes repeatedly.
Shen Ningning came out with a piece of paper and handed it over: "Grandpa, village chief, this is how to use loquat leaves."
Last time, when the medicine shop owner came to treat the crazy scholar, he asked her for some loquat leaves.
It turns out that loquat leaves can clear lung qi, reduce qi and relieve vomiting. Cut into shreds and make porridge, or dry them and soak them in tea. The effect can be achieved.
The paper given by Shen Ningning clearly stated how to use it.
Under the guidance of the crazy scholar, her handwriting has already made rapid progress, and she has a unique style of her own.
The handwriting is crisp, the writing is neat, and the spacing is neat.
The old village chief beamed with joy, praised the little guy for being smart, and then turned around to arrange for his son Deng Jixiang to run errands.
Jiang Zhi originally thought that Shen Ningning could rest.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Liu came over again: "Ningning, I just heard Xiaohu say, why are you looking for me?"
Shen Ningning walked out and explained something to her.
Jiang Zhi blinked and sighed: "Sister Ningning, you are as busy as a small village chief."
She made an agreement with Aunt Liu.
Shen Ningning warned: "Auntie, let's make an agreement. I will bring the ingredients tomorrow and you will prepare them for me. Then prepare a few big pots."
After that, she took out ten taels of broken silver and handed it over.
Aunt Liu beamed with joy.
She is not someone who likes to take advantage, but she never likes to suffer.
If you want her to help for free, it depends on your mood, but Shen Ningning is sensible, and before she can ask her, the little guy took the initiative to pay for her hard work.
"No problem Ning Ning, you gave me so much money, I can borrow all the pots in the village for you!"
Aunt Liu walked away with a smile, holding the money in her pocket, beaming with joy.
Shen Ningning turned around and saw Jiang Zhi looking at her.
"Sister Ningning, what are we going to do tomorrow?"
The little guy's smile faded, a little sad: "I want everyone in the capital to know that Uncle Wu, Aunt Wu and Brother Zuchang, their deaths, It's not an accident."
