Xia Shuyan finished writing the account book and handed it to Jiang Zhi.
Jiang Zhi didn't answer, just smiled and said: "I can't read, so I'd like to trouble Xia Xiucai to read it again."
Others nodded: "Yes, Xia Xiucai, Nian Nian! Let Village Chief Jiang know how much money we have raised!"
"Xia Xiucai remembers it well, we all understand it!"
On the mountain, she could pretend to read, but now in front of the other Xu family members, Jiang Zhi was still illiterate. She would only cause trouble if she could carelessly read the account books.
But Xia Shuyan held the paper motionless and didn't make a sound. It was obvious that his computer was down again.
Xu Errui took the paper, looked at the words on it, and tried his best to read: "Xu, Gen has 20 Wen! Xu Gen, Gensheng has 53 Wen..." He hesitated and stuttered while reading.
He can recognize more than a hundred words this year, and he also learned bookkeeping from the clerk in the medical shed.
Xu Errui writes hieroglyphs by himself, but now he is having a strange difficulty reading this beautiful small regular script account book.
Jiang Zhi felt like his throat was covered with phlegm, and he couldn't hold his breath up and down. He wished he could take a look at it, but he had to hold back.
Xu Errui was still reciting word by word: "...Lin Tong's 81 essay, what kind of Yang is this..."
"Wu Yang 35 articles, Tian Gui 38 articles, Xu Errui 67, Xu Xiaoman 55 articles... a total of 473 articles!" Xia Shuyan, who was standing aside, did not look at the account book and recited it fluently.
Jiang Zhi looked at him in surprise: This man has a good brain.
Although there are only twenty names in the account book, the registration was messy and messy just now. He would finish writing it down as soon as others said it. Now he can memorize all the details without reading them.
After reciting it, he stopped talking again.
There were so many people at this time that Jiang Zhi couldn't ask more about Xia Xiucai. He only said to Tian Gui and the Xu family: "Which of you will collect the money first? I will go to the town to buy seeds the day after tomorrow, and you should go with me." .”
She doesn't care about money, and she doesn't worry about others misusing it. She will do this in the future.
Avoid not having much money but also getting into trouble.
"Okay, then I'll put it away first!"
Tian Gui didn't move, but Xu Genyou still held the packed money bag in his hand.
His surname was Xu, and he naturally considered himself and Aunt Jiang to be part of the same family.
Arrange the time to go to the town, and let everyone use this day to prepare the dung seedbed, turn the soil, and just wait for the day after tomorrow to buy grain seeds before going to the ground.
From going down the mountain before dawn in the morning to now being busy, the workload of the new village chief Jiang has been overwhelming on the first day after taking office.
On the way home, it was already dusk again. Xu Errui took out the pancake prepared by Qiaoyun and handed it over: "Mom, you only ate a bowl of porridge at noon, now eat something!"
The two of them didn't eat solid food at noon. Li Laoshi brought two bowls of rice from Zhang Juntou's big pot. He was already hungry now that he was so busy.
Jiang Zhi broke off a piece and handed it back: "I only need to eat these, you can eat the rest!"
She is hungry, and young people are even hungrier!
Xu Errui also only tore off half of it: "I'll eat less too, so I can eat when I get back!"
These cakes were specially prepared by Qiaoyun for the two of them. Although they were thick noodles, they were kneaded with brown sugar. Xu Errui was reluctant to eat them because they were so hungry.
While eating, Jiang Zhi asked Xu Errui: "What is the situation in that Xia Xiucai family? Does Li Laoshi know?"
"I know. Uncle Li said that there are four people in the Xia family. Xia Xiucai's family is from Yuzhou Prefecture. He was admitted as a scholar at the age of fifteen..." Xu Errui told all the information that Li Laoshi had inquired about.
Li Laoshi is Jiang Zhi's spy in the village. He can find out any news.
Xia Xiucai has a family of four, including his wife, Xia's mother, and a six-year-old son.
His family used to live in Yuzhou Prefecture, and one of his sisters married in Yuzhou City.
Because Xia Xiucai had a mental problem and caused a quarrel with others in the school, he was ordered to deprive the scholar of one bushel of brown rice and two hundred cents of grain per month on the grounds that it was "insulting to politeness".
With no income and having to take medicine, the family had a hard time in the city. Taking advantage of this time when the refugees returned to their hometown, Xia's mother also returned to her hometown in the countryside.
But nowhere is it a pure land, and my hometown has long been occupied by others.
They couldn't even get in with a mentally ill person, and they were almost beaten to death in the chaos.
After seeing her son leave familiar people and places, his mood became much more stable. Xia's mother simply followed the refugees and settled here.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are good at needlework. They were making bandages in the medical shed a few days ago. They can also earn food by starching clothes.
But now that the wounded soldiers have left, their lives are in trouble, and now they want to try farming.
It’s just that none of the family is meant to work. When they heard that everyone needed to raise money to buy seeds, and no one could settle the accounts, Xia’s mother asked if she could write for them in exchange for food!
Jiang Zhi nodded: This Xia mother is very open-minded and will explain the reasons when she meets him. She is also a smart person.
I can think of ghostwriting in exchange for food, but I don't need someone to do the accounting, which is a waste of talent.
In fact, when she agreed to Xia Xiucai's accounting, she also saw that several outsiders were interested in helping.
Those people are in trouble themselves and want to help others, but imagine that this family's situation is even more difficult.
I just turned a blind eye and let them go. Anyway, everything was lacking. If there were too many lice, they wouldn't bite anyone. It wouldn't be a big problem to lead one household from dozens of households.
From what Xia's mother said, combined with what Li Laoshi heard, it was not difficult for Jiang Zhi to deduce the cause of Xia Xiucai's illness.
Xia Xiucai was a scholar in the fifteenth middle school, but he has been studying hard and has not gone any further.
From being a genius whom everyone praised at the beginning, he became a fool that everyone despised. He was also stimulated by his acquaintances and relatives, so he became insane.
Fan Jin's madness was caused by extreme joy and sorrow, but this Xia Xiucai collapsed directly.
well!
Jiang Zhi thought that during the college entrance examination every year, it would be too stressful for thousands of troops to cross the single-plank bridge, and it would be the same for some candidates.
"Is the problem in Xia Xiucai's mind big? Will it affect other people in the village?" Jiang Zhi continued.
Everyone in the village lives in shacks. If Xia Xiucai loses control of his emotions and wants to play with fire and kill people, he needs to be careful in advance.
Xu Errui thought for a while: "I haven't heard anyone say anything unpleasant.
Xia Xiucai occasionally walked out of the shack and didn't talk to anyone. Uncle Tian said that he just recited poems and essays loudly every day before dawn to disturb people. "
Speaking of this, Xu Errui suddenly spoke with envy: "Xia Xiucai's son has already been enlightened when he was only six years old. He usually works with his mother and his mother, but when his father is more sober, he will study with him."
"Hey! This kid is good!"
It is said that when you are three years old, you are older and when you are ten years old, you are older.
Xu Changshou's grandson is the same age, but he only knows how to grab things. Jiang Zhi thinks this child is sensible.
The two of them were talking and walking, and it was getting late.
After crossing a mountain, I saw a wild boar emerging from the forest and standing on the road, grunting and waiting.
He is now bigger again, already a big boy weighing a hundred pounds, and is no longer screaming and clingy like he used to do after being left alone for a day.
Even when Jiang Zhi goes down the mountain, it only follows Jiang Zhi for a while and then turns back, but will appear at random locations on the mountain road where Jiang Zhi goes home.
"Page, come here!" Xu Errui shouted.
The little wild boar came over and nuzzled the two of them with its nose.
Xu Errui fed the wild boar a small piece of cake he had left, then took out a wide cloth from his backpack and tied it to the wild boar's chest and shoulder blades.
The reason why there is no neck hanging... is because the pork belly has grown up and has no neck!
After hanging up the strap, Paige automatically walked over to Jiang Zhi and said "Hmm, huh, huh" and cupped her hand.
"This guy is really well trained!" Jiang Zhi smiled, patted the pig's back, and grabbed the cloth belt.
Some time ago, she went down the mountain to work every day. Since she found that it was much easier to climb the mountain by grabbing the back hair of the little wild boar, she sewed this cloth belt.
He put a cloth belt on the pig and let the pig pull him away. Peppa, who has long been used to carrying things on his back, also cooperated very well.
If you can get some snacks, the little tail will curl up in a circle with joy.
