reborn as a brother

Chapter 57

After the village convening event at noon yesterday, Ji Anyi clearly felt that the attitude of the villagers towards him had changed subtly.

He didn't know how to describe this change in detail, but he saw that before, everyone looked at him with envious eyes, and some people were slightly jealous.

But not now, their eyes have become very calm, communication is still the same as usual, friendly greetings, smiling and chatting about homework.

why is that?Ji Anyi didn't quite understand.

However, he feels that the current situation is quite good, and he can feel more at ease.

Seeing Xiaomu coming in a carriage from a distance, Ji Anyi put away his thoughts and stopped thinking about these issues.

The three of them packed the dishes first, settled the money, and then sat under the eaves to talk about things.

"Yesterday at noon, the village head called the whole village and talked about this matter. Moreover, the village head also made it clear that this is a major event that belongs to the whole village. It is no longer a small matter for me. He will take over and handle it. Therefore , I don't have any big problems here." Ji Anyi first talked about yesterday's results.

Speaking of the same passage, what the village chief said was more effective than what he said. The village chief took this matter to himself this time, and he knew in his heart that this matter was truly related to the future of the entire Hexi Village. , which is an important reason.The village chief is a very conscientious village chief. I don't know who the next village chief will be.

"The boss brought the news yesterday evening. The first group of people will come to Hexi Village in the morning of the day after tomorrow at the latest. There are two groups of people in this group. Both groups know each other, but they are not friends." After a pause , Xiaomu continued. "Nuo Da Wanjingcheng, there are quite a few people who want to come here to share a piece of the pie, but only one-third of them actually take action. That is to say, there are at most five groups who will come to Hexi Village. people."

These words... made Ji Anyi inevitably think about it. "Boss Su said that only one-third of them really took action. So, does it mean that these people have the strength to compete with Boss Su? If so, what about the well? Will there be some trouble. "

Should he think of a plan?Don't be afraid of ten thousand.

"What Ji Geer thinks is the truth, but it's not the truth." The words were a bit convoluted, Xiao Mu saw Ji Anyi's confused expression, paused for a while, and explained again. "The matter of the well is more about the backer behind it. As for what they will do, it is based on their own strength and their determination after several deliberations. They still don't know the magic of the well. Once they know, After that, the comparison will be backing, Ji Geer can rest assured that the owner has already made preparations in advance, and nothing will go wrong."

It turned out that this was the case, Ji Anyi felt much more at ease. "I see."

After speaking, Xiao Mu still didn't stay long, and hurriedly drove away in the carriage.

Breakfast is vegetable and meat porridge, salty.A little tired of mung bean porridge, Ji Anyi thought of this.

Because my family also likes to eat fish sauce, I kept some at home. The vegetable and meat porridge paired with this fish sauce, the taste is really amazing, and the taste is full of flavor.

Cook the meat porridge, put the vegetables on the shelf first, put them in later, add firewood to the stove, and then he went to other things.

I dried some sword beans in the sun yesterday afternoon, and the sword beans in the mountain are almost clear. Cutting the sword beans is more difficult than radish strips. The sword beans have to be sliced ​​thinly. Wang Baoer said that the sword beans dried in this way can be soaked in winter It is the most fragrant when it is used for frying meat.

Ji Anyi suddenly thought of dried bamboo shoots. In modern times, there was a lo-mei shop called Bulao Ya downstairs. There was a kind of braised dried bamboo shoots in it. It was not very spicy, but very fragrant. He liked to eat it most on weekdays.

In the spring of next year, he will have to dry some small bamboo shoots, or large bamboo shoots. They should be harvested and kept for winter. It is estimated that they will taste delicious when fried.

Although he doesn't know how to make stewed bamboo shoots, but when he's free, he can figure it out by himself. The seasoning is almost the same, and the taste should be palatable. As a snack.

The housework is almost done, and I went into the kitchen to look at the meat porridge, and it was almost cooked, so I quickly put the vegetables in.

The idiot went to water the vegetables in the mountain with water, and he should be back soon.

Ji Anyi didn't rest in this little gap, he took a few pieces of beans and cut them on the stove.

Should be able to cut these beans this morning.Now the sun is about three or two days away.

After cutting less than two pieces, Wang Xiaoer came back.

As soon as he entered the kitchen, he even put the shoulder pole and wooden barrel on his shoulders, and shouted happily. "daughter in law."

"Same as yesterday morning, we eat vegetable and meat porridge with fish sauce." Putting the cut beans into a large bowl beside him, Ji Anyi put away the chopping board and kitchen knife, washed his hands, took the bowls and chopsticks, He served two bowls of porridge with vegetables and meat, and brought the steamed fish sauce to the dining table.

Wang Xiaoer washed his hands and walked into the kitchen. Breakfast was already on the table. He looked sideways at his wife and grinned with a big smile.

After breakfast, Wang Xiaoer carried the pig food to the house, and Ji Anyi cleaned up the kitchen.There wasn't much to do, and it was quickly cleaned up, and then it was still cutting the beans.

After a while, Wang Baoer came over in a hurry, without saying anything, and started working in a hurry.

Wang Xiaoer came from the back of the house, his body smelled a little bit, he cleaned the pig food bucket, put it under the eaves behind the house, did not go into the kitchen, and led the ewe to find tender grass, the two puppies He has grown up quite a bit, and he followed behind him with bumps and bumps. The dishonest little Huang rolls around in the grass from time to time, barks at passers-by from time to time, and is especially capable of making a fuss.

Looking for a piece of grass, Wang Xiaoer didn't tie the rope, so he let the ewe slowly gnaw the grass, turned and went home.

The two puppies did not follow and were playing in the grass.

After returning home, Wang Xiaoer watered the vegetable field in front of the house and straightened it up again. Once he survived, the smell on his body disappeared.

He washed his hands, and walked into the kitchen with a hey hey smile. "Daughter-in-law." You can go to the village chief's house.

"I'm back." Ji Anyi looked at Wang Xiaoer with a smile, said something, and then turned to Wang Baoer. "Brother, Xiaoer and I will go to the village chief's house."

"Success. Let's go." Wang Bao'er thumped and cut the sliced ​​beans, and replied without even raising her head.

The two went to the village chief's house, and Ji Anyi told the village chief the news that Xiaomu had brought back.The village chief said that he knew what he knew, and he could live his life as he wanted, and told him not to think too much, no matter what, with his old bones in front of him, nothing would happen.

Hearing these words, Ji Anyi's heart felt warm, and he felt a lot more at ease.

Watching the village head fight with the three of them, chat with Mrs. Liu for a while, and there are still a lot of things at home, he didn't stay long, and hurried back.

When he was about to get home, he happened to meet Zhong San at the intersection. Ji Anyi remembered what sweet potato had done, stopped and called him. "Good morning, Zhong San."

"Okay, Brother Ji just came back from the village chief's house." Ah Zhong San looked over with a smile.

The whole village knew about this, and Wang Xiaoer didn't know where he caught the attention of the village chief, and he was able to learn boxing from the village chief. I didn't dare to say anything, I just muttered a few words in private.

"Yeah." Ji Anyi responded with a smile, and said again. "Ah Zhong San, I heard from my brother that the dried sweet potatoes you make are very delicious. Both Xiaoer and I like to chew this stuff, so I wondered, can Ah Zhong make more dried sweet potatoes this year, and when the time comes Click it and let me buy it."

"It's done." Zhong San didn't hesitate, and agreed very simply. "I'll do more later."

After talking about this, the two of them didn't talk about any other topics, they were both busy people, and they didn't have much time to chat about miscellaneous gossip.

When I got home, Wang Baoer was laying out the drying mat, and was going to take out the beans that were dried yesterday.Ji Anyi took three steps at a time, hurried into the utility room, and took out the sword bean chips.

After drying the beans, the two moved their things into the simple wooden shed and continued cutting the beans.

Today is more proficient than yesterday, and the speed is a little faster. At the beginning of the day, I cut all the sword beans into slices.

There is also a drying mat in front of the house, but it is not enough, so I can only use two bamboo flats to dry the remaining sword bean slices.

At this time, the sun was a little hot, and the ewes didn't hang around outside after they were full. They walked back slowly, followed by two dogs. Da Huang walked very quietly, but Xiao Huang couldn't stay still, making a fuss all the way I don't know what's going on with its energy, it can be so vigorous all the time.

"This ewe is really good enough. From now on..." Seeing the ewe walking here with two dogs from a distance, Wang Baoer murmured softly.

Ji Anyi noticed that he wasn't here, he couldn't hear clearly, so he asked. "Brother, what did you just say?"

"I said, the ewe and the two dogs both have special spirituality. After that, I can't bear to eat it."

Eat... Ji Anyi was stunned. "Don't eat. Just keep it."

"Yeah. Keep it up. Let's live a better life. We don't have to worry about the two bites of dog food. We just keep raising it slowly." Listening to Ji Geer's words, Wang Baoer felt better.

"Yes. I think so too." Ji Anyi was slightly surprised, he thought his brother would say a few words, but unexpectedly, he had the same thoughts as himself.

While talking here, a ewe and two dogs have already walked over.

Seeing that the front of the house was covered with sun mats, they also knew that they deliberately came around from the other side of the vegetable field and stood by the house. The ewe raised her head and let out a long and long bleat, and the two dogs immediately barked. .

"I'm going to add some water." Ji Anyi looked at Wang Bao'er and said, went into the kitchen, brought out the spiritual spring water he had prepared before, added some well water into it, and poured it into the broken bowl under the tree behind the house inside.

The ewe and the dog entered the kitchen from under the eaves, followed Ji Anyi closely, and walked through the kitchen to the back of the house.

After a while at Ji Anyi's feet, he lowered his head to lick the water in the bowl.

After finishing their work on the bean knife, the two of them took a break, then went to the cellar to get some radishes, which were used to dry the vegetables.

Cutting directly into long strips can save some effort. When it is time to eat, soak it and then cut into short strips for cooking.

By noon, the work was almost done. After a delicious lunch, Wang Baoer went home, and he would not come in the afternoon, because there was still some work to be done in the field.

Originally, I went to the village chief’s house to learn calligraphy, but due to the busy days, I changed it from one hour to half an hour. Learning calligraphy takes a long time. If I put it aside because I am busy, it will be difficult to make progress. Therefore, Ji An Yi thought of such a compromise.

Literacy is very important, no matter how busy you are, you can't delay it.

Catching fish on the 22nd was smoother than expected. The main reason is that Wang Xiaoer performed very well. It seems that the effect of learning boxing is not so good!

Could it be that this punching is more than he imagined, which he doesn't know?

Looking at Wang Xiaoer who was having fun beside him, Ji Anyi was very happy.The idiots in his family can't tell if it's still a piece of precious jade.

It's really like winning the 500 million lottery.

The No. 23 Soybean Sauce can be opened. Ji Aqiang and Wang Baoer came over early this morning, and even Liu Xiu came here early, and they ate breakfast here.

Vegetable and meat porridge with fish sauce, garlic and spicy dried radish and braised radish, bone soup from the night before, sauerkraut and fried pork.

This breakfast is very rich.

Ji Anyi thought that there was a lot of work in the morning, and the breakfast was quite rich, so he should eat a lot, so he specially cooked more porridge.

Fortunately, he cooked too much, no matter whether it was porridge or these side dishes, he ate them all. Liu Xiu even slapped his mouth and said that he felt that he was gone before he had eaten enough.

Today's special situation is too busy, so Wang Xiaoerlei put aside the matter of going to learn boxing without hesitation.

After the five people took a break, they started to get busy.

Just as they were seriously busy with marinating fish sauce, Ama Liu came over in a hurry and told them that several very rich carriages had arrived in the village, and several well-dressed people entered the village head Home.

coming.Hearing what Liu Ah Mo said, Ji Anyi's heart skipped a beat, and he became a little nervous.

"The village chief came here and asked me to tell you that he will take care of this matter, so you can live your life with peace of mind and do whatever you need to do." Liu Ahmo continued.

The village chief also told him about this that day, and now he specially asked Liu Amo to come over and tell him again, it was he who reassured him.Ji Anyi's heart felt warm, and he said with a smile. "Okay, I'll be busy with the fish sauce at home, I'll get busy later, and let the village chief try it."

During these days, there were many things, complicated and chaotic, and he really forgot to bring some fish sauce to the village head and Mrs. Liu to taste.

"Okay. I'll go and check on the situation. I'll come over and talk to you when I'm done. You should be busy with the important things at hand first." After speaking, Liu Amo hurriedly left again.

It would be a lie to say that it is not affected.

Staring blankly outside the house, Liu Ah's figure disappeared from sight, Ji Anyi still couldn't recover.

The mood is a little impetuous, and there are many messy thoughts surging in my heart.

He actually knew that he was thinking wildly, but it was clear, but he couldn't control this state.

"Brother Ji is fine, the village chief is amazing." Liu Xiu said seriously beside him, paused, and then said again. "The village chief knows everything and knows everything. He is very powerful."

Wang Baoer also said beside him. "There is a village head in charge of this matter, so nothing can go wrong, Ji Geer don't think too much about it."

That's what he said, but he was also very uneasy in his heart.Thinking about what the village chief said, if something bad happens, brother Ji...

Thinking of this, Wang Baoer looked at the younger brother next to her, and all the emotions finally turned into a sigh and sounded from the bottom of her heart.

It's a blessing, not a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided, so let's just watch it.

"Daughter-in-law." Wang Xiaoer next to him held his daughter-in-law's hand, and looked at him seriously with bright black eyes.

Ji Anyi came back to his senses, met Wang Xiaoer's eyes, and was slightly taken aback, but for some reason, he felt a lot more at ease. "Well. It's okay, let's continue to be busy." After speaking, he smiled, his eyes were gentle and peaceful as usual.

Wang Xiaoer laughed happily, let go of his hands, and continued to be busy with the work in hand.

In the following time, everyone was seriously busy, and no one said a word, but the atmosphere was not as relaxed as before.

I am afraid that everyone has an idea in their hearts.

About half an hour later, Ama Liu came back in a hurry, with a smile on her face, shouting as soon as she entered the kitchen. "They're gone, they're all gone."

"Leaving?" So fast.Ji Anyi was a little surprised.

Amo Liu smiled and nodded. "Yes. They're all gone."

"I'll just say, the village chief is the most powerful." Liu Xiu stood up, jumping high, and shouted excitedly.

From the looks of it, the kid was actually very nervous just now.

"It's good to go, it's good to go." Wang Baoer repeated twice.

Ji Anyi alone can't be happy, it's too... I always feel that this matter is too easy, a little weird.

He felt that he should go to the village chief's house.

"Brother, I'll go to the village chief's house and I'll be back in a while." Saying that, Ji Anyi stood up, washed his hands casually, and ran out of the house in a hurry.

Wang Xiaoer watched, put down the fish in his hand, and wanted to follow.Wang Baoer hastily held him back. "Don't go, Xiaoer. Your wife is busy with business. You stay here and get busy with the fish sauce. This matter is also urgent."

"I'll do it." Liu Ah Mo said something, sat in Ji Anyi's seat, and looked at her son next to her. "Axiu, how to do this?"

"Ah, you pick fishbone like me, that's it." After speaking, Liu Xiu gestured again.

After seeing it, Ah Liu knew what she was going to do.

Ji Anyi left, and only Wang Baoer could do the pickling job. There weren't too many fish sticks, and he wasn't very busy either.

Ji Geer hurried to find the village head, is it not as easy as expected?Those people are gone, is there anything else going on?

Ji Anyi's departure made the atmosphere that had just eased up a little heavy.

When seeing Ji Anyi, the village head was not surprised at all, and said something. "Here you are, sit down."

"The village chief, after listening to what Liu Ah said, I felt a little uneasy, so I wanted to come over and ask carefully. I always felt that they were walking too lightly. Could it be..." At this point , Ji Anyi looked at the village chief, wondering if what he was thinking was right.

He felt that this group of people would not let go so easily. This time the departure was not a real departure. They should first live in Jingyang Town, and then make plans.

It is estimated that they never thought that the village head would reject this opportunity to make a lot of money.

"They won't really leave, and there will be some other actions. Don't worry about this. I will keep a close eye on the people in the village. I think they should be on guard, find the villagers who have entered the town, and ask about our village. The situation. I have already let go of the words. Some stupid people with shallow eyelids. I mostly understand the temperament of the people in our village, and there will be no big troubles in this matter, but there will be some small troubles. After learning the lesson, let the big guys see it and truly realize the seriousness, and this matter will be settled."

The village chief explained it quite clearly this time.

Ji Anyi listened, and his mood gradually stabilized.

Now that the village head had thought of something with him, he could breathe a sigh of relief. He was afraid that the village head, like Liu Amo, thought that this group of people had really left.

Hey, calm down and think about it now, he seems a little impulsive.

The village head is not an ordinary person, how could he not think of these things.Sure enough, caring is chaotic.

Ji Anyi smiled and said. "The village head is in charge of this matter, so I don't worry. There are a lot of things at home recently, and they are piled up together. I can't figure it out. I forgot to bring some fish sauce for the village head and Mr. Liu to taste. , I'll bring some later."

"Would you like to drink?" the village head asked.

"I'm not sure about that. When I bring it over, the village chief can try it. If it's good to drink, the altar will be opened at the beginning of next month. I'll bring some more." Speaking of drinking, braised pork is also good for drinking .Ji Anyi muttered in his heart.

The village chief said bluntly. "Success, bring it here and let me try."

Mrs. Liu came out of the house, heard this, and answered the words carefully. "The eldest son found a good bottle of fine wine and came over. My wife sniffed it carefully and said that this wine does not go well with the dishes at home. He said that the previous ones could not match the good taste. Greedy and flustered, if this hadn't happened, he still planned to pack up and go to the city where Da'er and Er'er lived, and bring back some good food and drink."

It turned out to be like this... Ji Anyi couldn't help laughing. "The village chief will send some fish sauce over in a while. If the taste is not right, I still know a better appetizer. I'll let you try it when it's ready tomorrow."

Hearing this, the village chief's eyes lit up. "Okay, okay, go home quickly, busy with your business, remember to bring the food when you're done."

"Sometimes he is just so childish." Liu Damo smiled cheerfully at the side, looked at Ji Anyi and said something.

Ji Anyi answered a few words with a smile. The village head watched him closely, knowing what he was thinking, so he didn't say much, and trotted back.

"Ji Geer." Seeing him coming back, Wang Baoer hurriedly yelled.

Everyone in the room put aside their busy work, and all their eyes fell on him.

"It's nothing." Ji Anyi smiled and succinctly told what he had just gone to the village chief's house. While talking, he took out the small jar and filled it with some fish sauce. "I'll send some to the village chief. He just got a bottle of good wine and is worrying about what to eat. He doesn't know if the fish sauce is right for him."

"It's definitely right. This fish sauce is delicious. It's even better than those two kinds of dried radish." Thinking of the taste of fish sauce, Liu Xiu smacked her mouth and replied with a smile on her face.

Wang Baoer and Liu Ahmo also chatted beside them. They all knew the taste of fish sauce, especially when Liu Ahma first tasted it, he was stunned for a while. It was not much different from Wang Baoer's original idea. Unexpectedly, the taste is so delicious that I can't help but want to swallow my tongue.
