    ?

    Jiang Dani feels that her life is very good now, just like the old opera singers in the village. This is probably a good life that can only be lived by the gods in the sky!

    Live in a warm, airtight and rainproof house, as long as you work every day, you will have enough to eat. You don¡¯t have to worry about not sleeping well every day, and fearing that your younger brother and sister will be sold by the second uncle for money and drink!

    Auntie would never appear in front of her with a ferocious spirit again, cursing and beating their children and sisters. This kind of life was a life she thought was a luxury just by imagining it in the past!

    Since her parents passed away one after another, this is the second time she feels that there is still hope for her future!  The first time was when the eldest brother returned from military service. Although the eldest brother was injured and in poor health, someone finally came back to support them!

    But the second uncle's family is that disgusting blood-sucking bug, which can't be pulled out at all. The five of them are crippled, and the youngest is absolutely unable to survive in the village where the aunt and his father are. The elder brother's body cannot be separated  The medicine, even some money was spent at the beginning, and then the second uncle's family robbed him after tearing his face. If the elder brother hadn't seen the blood with the knife, Shitou and Zhu'er might have been taken away together.  !

    However, Lizheng said that the elder brother was murdering others, and wanted to sue him to the Yamen!  The eldest brother, who had no choice but to listen to the advice of the brothers who served together, took them to Taoyuan Village!

    After signing the deed of selling herself and getting ten taels of silver, Jiang Dani knew that she would be a slave in the future, but she remembered that Jia's house was good, so she would definitely work hard!

    Unexpectedly, life in Taoyuan Village is much better than she thought before. They have their own house, and the daily work is the same as before, but they can fill their stomachs in the cafeteria!

    Jiang Dani thinks that this serf is really good. If she had known that she had sold herself to come here early in the morning, she would have saved herself from suffering that year at her second uncle's house!

    But later she understood that the serfs in Taoyuan Village are different from those in other places. Their life is much better than that of ordinary servants, and the master and master do not put on airs, so they are called villagers of Taoyuan Village now.  , not the serfs of the Jia Mansion!

    The second uncle's family came to make a fuss upon hearing the news, and asked the eldest brother to pay for their medical expenses, but they were sent away by the steward before they even entered the village. If they dared to make trouble on Jia's territory, wouldn't they be courting death?

    The days after that were stable. When I first entered the village, I was only five years old, Shitou was three years old, and Zhu'er was one and a half years old!  There is no help at all, only the eldest brother can barely work, and the three of them are all supported by the ten taels of silver that they sold themselves!

    After two years, Xu ate well and slept soundly. The two little guys grew up fast, were smart and sensible, and no longer had to keep watching.  Full, not empty at all!

    The four little pigs in the backyard are the important property of the family, and she does all the daily feeding!

    The sixteen chickens in the front fence are the nourishment of the family members. Although most of them are saved and sold for money, they can also make the family eat rare from time to time!

    An orange tree and an apple tree were planted on both sides of the pigsty, both of which were taken in by the eldest brother after finishing his work. The two saplings were damaged and were not needed in the village.  Yes, I have grown up a lot in the past two years. This year there is pig manure soil, and the growth is even better. The elder brother said that it will probably bear fruit next year. The two little guys were very happy when they heard it. They have never eaten it.  As for oranges, I have never heard of apples. The manager said that those are the fruit seedlings brought back by the master from the sea, and there is no such thing in Dynasty!

    Jiang Dani thought it would be great for them to taste the fruit if it bears fruit, and sell all the rest, and get the medicine for the elder brother!  The doctor said, the eldest brother has a good foundation, and he will be able to fully recover after one year of raising him. In just this year, they can't be greedy!

    Jiang Dani's mother is very good at making sauce. Although Jiang Dani was only four years old when she died, she knew the taste in her memory!

    Most of the fields in the backyard are planted with soybeans, and sporadic places are also full of peppers!

    These are the raw materials for her sauce. The dishes that are usually eaten at home are all grown in a small field in front of the house. She takes care of them diligently and the vegetables grow well. The family has enough to eat!

    At the end of the year, once the pigs are sold, not only will the family have money in the account, but they can also leave dozens of catties of meat to enjoy a good year. Even boiled pork with spicy bean sauce is very gluttonous!

    Later, the eldest brother recovered, and he was old enough to work in the canteen, and the younger siblings gradually grew up to be able to do things, and the life at home became better!

    Now, the four of them, a family of brothers and sisters, have stayed in Taoyuan Village for six years, and they have thoroughly taken root!

    The eldest brother has been working in the orchard?The craftsmanship of serving fruit trees is sufficient, and this job is even easier after the body has fully recovered. I am very energetic when I go to work every day!

    Jiang Dani herself has to go to the canteen to work every day, but she is not cooking, she is making use of her strengths and making sauce!  Because of her bold performance, the types of sauces are constantly increasing and innovating. The master likes her tomato sauce very much, and she even got a reward of one hundred coins!

    During the one-hour break at noon every day, they all have to go home to eat and rest!  The stone has already stewed the rice, Jiang Dani only needs to quickly fry two dishes, put the pickled eggplant at home, and it will be a delicious meal!

    "Stone, how much did you feed the pigs today? Why are you still humming?" Jiang Chengwu asked with a mouthful of bacon while eating it!

    "I've fed four pots of bran mixed with potatoes!" Shito shook his head helplessly and said, "The three sows have litters, and they're so hungry, I'll feed them again in the afternoon!"

    "En!" Jiang Dani took a mouthful of brown rice, and said earnestly, "Let's see the sale of piglets in the second half of the year! We have to serve them!"

    "Got it, brother, will you still be selling pork this year?" Shito asked in a muffled voice!

    "I won't sell it anymore!" Jiang Chengwu made a decisive decision, "This year, you can earn a lot of money just by selling the piglets! The old sow keeps the piglets immobile, and the boar will satisfy your hunger!"

    "Oh!" Zhu Er replied crisply, "I like pork so much, I can eat a whole head by myself!"

    "Just blow it!" Shitou grinned, "You can't even finish a pork leg! You can eat a pig's butt at most!"

    Zhu'er scolded him a few words in shame, then asked again, "Then our family can't sell this year's fruit? Bai Sanniang came here today and said, if it sells, I should keep some for her, and don't sell them all!  "

    "Not for sale!" Jiang Chengwu decided again lightly!

    "Brother, what about that? How can I finish eating?" Jiang Dani is still a little bit reluctant to part with her younger siblings. Now there are not only orange trees and apple trees in the backyard of the family, but also a pear tree and an apricot tree.  , a tall persimmon tree and a jujube tree, the original vegetable field has long since disappeared, and all fruit trees have been planted. There are still vines erected in the corner, and the chickens raised in front have come to the backyard.  The backyard is spacious enough for them to toss!

    "Apples and oranges ripen late, the weather is cold, and they are very fresh in the cellar! Pears are not afraid of freezing, so pick them later, otherwise it is delicious to make frozen pears! Apricots are picked while they are ripe, and they can be eaten fresh.  Make dried fruits, steam them in baskets, and sprinkle some sugar on them. It¡¯s just sweet and sweet in winter! Persimmons can be made into dried persimmons, or frozen persimmons.  Go and buy it!" Jiang Chengwu had already thought about it early in the morning, and now he slowly explained it to his eldest sister!

    "That's good! Candied fruit and dried fruit are not cheap. Fruits are also rare in winter, and the price will not drop if you have a guest to entertain you!" Jiang Dani agreed after careful consideration. The family life is better, so there is no need to wrong the family anymore.  , Anyway, they are all grown at home!

    "Well, Shitou, cut two bunches of grapes for me in a while. The big monkey is pregnant and wants to eat something sweet and sour. Is it okay for me to take it to him?" Jiang Chengwu turned his head and ordered!

    "Well, I see!" Stone replied!

    Jiang Dani thought about it, her life is better now, food, clothing and housing are above the horizontal line, if the eldest brother gets married, life will be even better, but the eldest brother seems not to understand this for some reason.  There was no response, is it so difficult to find a sister-in-law, Jiang Dani complained in her heart!  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
