It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 131

Jiang Yan said that her grandmother Sun Yun was born at the wrong time. Otherwise, with her terrifying posture while standing on the mule cart, she would have become a female general fighting in the battlefield sooner or later. Especially when she wielded a kitchen knife, she looked very skilled.

However, Fu Weishen, who was not present at the scene, was unable to appreciate Sun Yun's bravery.

After sizing up the three elderly people and an aunt standing respectfully before her, she turned to Jiang Yan and questioned him, "You only found these few people for me when you returned. Can they farm at their age? And one of them has a disability!"

Why can't they farm? They are still strong and healthy. When they were in the village, one person could do the work of two of her.

Jiang Yan felt that Fu Nulang's words were unpleasant to hear. "Although my grandparents are a little older, they are experienced and good at farm work. They can also help you choose workers. It is unrealistic to expect three or five people to finish farming your farm. You must recruit more people to do it."

Considering that Mr. Jiang Qi was very willing to stay at the farm and receive a monthly salary, Jiang Yan also helped to speak well of him: "The old man can do carpentry work, and it just so happens that the yard is in great need of some things, so he can be of use."

Fu Weixin remained noncommittal: "Can't a middle-aged man do that?"

Jiang Yan was also getting emotional. "I've been to Dongshan Village before and met the villagers. There are only old and young people. All the strong men have been conscripted by the government. If you don't like them, you can find someone else."

There is not a single young man... Fu Weixin thought that the Governor's Office also had a contribution here, so he had to investigate further.

The four people from Dongshan Village settled down in the farm.

By the time Baoqin found tenant farmers willing to work on the land, it was already the end of March. After a period of intense work, Fu Weixin's farm was finally planted with several common crops.

Although some crops have missed the best planting period, Fu Weixin does not care how much the yield will be reduced. The surrounding farms have all planted them, so hers cannot be left out.

When Jiang Yan had free time, she helped the elders with farm work, and she also found a corner to scatter a small bag of millet grains that she had collected last year.

Jiang Yan found it just before returning to Dongshan Village. It had been stuffed in a bag full of miscellaneous items. If she had found it earlier, she might have cooked and eaten it on the first day she was starving in Chang's mansion.

She scattered the seeds very casually, giving up her initial idea of ​​carefully comparing and selecting the most waterlogged-resistant corn, and chose to look forward to unexpected surprises.

The reason for the change of mind was very simple. Jiang Yan fell in love with a slingshot and a small bow made for her by Grandpa Jiang Qi.

After dealing with Fu Nulang every day, she would take some time to run to the empty and deserted fields, targeting small animals and birds that stole food.

Although most of the time she was just a little bit away from hitting the target, she was able to achieve the purpose of scaring the enemy away.

Gradually, Yile, Chunying and Zhou Li also became inexplicably interested. They spent a few copper coins to ask Jiang Qi to make a slingshot, and ran outside the house to shoot birds to pass the time.

Fu Weixin began to be unable to understand why his maids liked this boring fun, which was completely incomparable to the elegance of "archery" among the six arts of a gentleman. Especially Yi Le, who had always been mature and steady, was also led astray.

He wanted to stop it, but was dissuaded by Jiang Yan's careless words.

At that time, Huanyan looked at Jiang Yan who had just returned from playing and asked curiously, "Can you hit the sparrow now?"

Jiang Yan looked frustrated. "Not yet, but for something as small as a wooden basin, I'm 90% confident."

The tub is fine, but with a guy this size, wouldn't he be able to hit the target every time?!

Fu Weixin thought about the deal she had made with Aunt Chang. If the marriage really went through, she would be safer with them by her side during her marriage to the south.
