Chapter 496 Worry
"Still haven't heard about your eldest sister?" Gu put the cut sweet potato on a bamboo plaque and put it on a shelf to dry. It can be eaten as a snack or porridge. It is very suitable, especially for the eldest daughter. love to eat.

Yan Qingpu shook his head, stepped forward to help Gu Shi.No matter what Yan Qinghe said, he also had some connections. It was relatively easy to inquire about the news of the capital just after the war started.

But who knew that Jiang Rongan's family could not be seen overnight, did not leave any information, and could not ask anything, which made people very worried. At the beginning of last year, they received a letter declaring that they were safe, but the family was still worried.

"Hey, this is the third year, and it's almost the Chinese New Year." Gu Shi said, and glanced at the youngest son on the side, because a war broke out, but their side is relatively stable, but taxes and conscription are still impressive. I feel anxious.

Because the eldest son is famous, there is no quota in the family, but many children in the village have been conscripted into the army, and now I don't know what the situation is.

What worried Gu Shi most was the marriage of the youngest son, which was supposed to be settled, but when the news came from the capital, the boy insisted on not getting married, and insisted on waiting for Gu Qingya to come back.

No girl can wait for such a long time. The girl I mentioned at the beginning has not yet become a girl. It just happened to be a funeral, and she was dragged into a big girl. There was no etiquette.

"Mother, my son is not filial, but I will not change my mind." Yan Qingpu understood Gu's thoughts, but he still wanted to wait for Gu Qingya to come back before getting married, otherwise it would be his biggest regret.

Gu Shi sighed, "I won't force you, just do whatever you want, the girl from the Li family won't wait any longer, and since you're getting older, it won't be so easy to choose the one you like."

"Grandma, what are you and uncle talking about?" Yan Zihan, the eldest grandson, ran over, raised his head and asked curiously, he looked at the shelf next to him, and stretched out his hand to hug Yan Qingpu, "Uncle, hug me, I'll take it Two yuan for my sister to eat."

Yan Qingpu lowered his head and looked at his nephew's dark eyes. He looked like a big sister, and was about to squat down. Gu Shi directly picked two slices for Yan Zihan, "Hanhan, my sister can't eat it, you grind your teeth on this." "This sweet potato is almost dried, it is relatively hard, and it is a good thing to grind your teeth.

"Okay, thank you grandma." Yan Zihan took it with both hands, thanked him politely, turned around and ran into the house, he wanted to spend more time with his sister.

Gu Shi glanced at the youngest son beside him, "Go and do your work, I'm almost done here."

Yan Qingpu walked for a while, and Yan's father came over from the vegetable field in the afternoon. He was getting older and limped a little bit, "Still no news?"

"Qinghe Qingpu won't hide it from us. There should be no news. After two or three years of fighting, this battle is almost over. Qingya and the others should be able to come back." Gu Shi couldn't help sighing, because of the war, There are a lot fewer people going out, and silk cannot be sold at a high price, and many people's living standards have dropped a lot. Of course, there are also people who are hoarding goods and waiting for good business opportunities, such as the Wu family.

"Calculating this year's harvest, we have a lot of surplus in our county, which is much better than other places. The tax has increased, and the harvest has decreased. What is the size?" Father Yan frowned. Sanhua County has such a situation. , or because of his and Liu's father's previous research and Qi county magistrate's adventure, otherwise the harvest would still drop by another [-] to [-] percent.

"We are much better here than in the north. I heard that their situation is similar to that of Ninghuai Mansion. There is a large area of ​​death in the field, and there is still no way to solve it." Gu Shi is also somewhat thankful that his family has the habit of storing grain, otherwise he would be tied up After all, the family has no relatives, and many people borrowed food.

"The situation in Ninghuai Mansion was resolved by Qingya and her husband. We couldn't contact them. It was probably because of the north matter. I hope they are safe and sound."

In fact, the Yan family can guess it, but they are not very willing to admit it. Now that Yan's father mentioned it, Gu's lips immediately pursed. The bigger the responsibility, the greater the punishment for any negligence.

"I hope." But is the matter that simple, otherwise how could the child and all the servants be taken away?

Father Yan patted Gu Shi's hand, "Don't worry about it, your hair has turned gray a lot. When my daughter comes back, I will definitely feel sorry for you."

That's what I said, but when it comes to the twelfth lunar month, the Gu family has to say a few words about Gu Qingya from time to time, and the others don't dare to mention it, for fear that the old man's thoughts are heavy, and Yan Qinghe regrets telling his parents all about it back then. It should be fake.

At this time, Jiang Rong'an and Gu Qingya had just arrived in Fucheng, and it was their luck that the boat returning to Jiang's family temple hadn't left yet, if it took half a day, they would have to travel all the way back in a bumpy car.

The family temple has already learned about Jiang Rongan's general situation in the north, and got a few more prescriptions, which they said were useful, but Jiang Rongan didn't ask any more questions. The value of the prescriptions that have been released is not that great.

The Jiang Mansion in the prefectural city did not seem to have changed. Uncle Jiang and Mrs. Wu were quite excited to see Jiang Rongan's family.

Even though there were various speculations about the inexplicable disappearance of Jiang Rongan's family, and even worried about being affected, the excitement in his heart was sincere when he saw that the other party was really fine.

"Rong An, you really don't plan to stay for the New Year?" After staying for a few days, Uncle Jiang learned that Jiang Rongan and the others were going to Sanhua County. The weight is too obvious.

Even though he knew this, Uncle Jiang still wanted to persuade him. This person became sentimental when he was old, and he also regretted his past actions. If he had stretched out his hand at the beginning, what would be the difference now?

"No, I don't know how long I can stay when I come back. There are some things that need to be dealt with in Sanhua County first." Jiang Rongan shook his head. He didn't have much time to guess what Uncle Jiang and Mrs. Wu were thinking. The current level is enough, there is no need Take it one step further.

Uncle Jiang felt a little regretful, but he didn't try to persuade him any more, "Although the south has not suffered from the same situation as the north, the harvest has indeed dropped a lot. In the past two years, the harvest in Sanhua County has been higher than that in other counties. Seed and fertilizer handling a lot of people are staring at."

Because of the relationship between Jiang Rong'an and Gu Qingya, the Jiang family paid special attention to Sanhua County, so they also took risks, and the losses were smaller than other families.

"I went there just for this purpose. I think there should be some relationship between the situation in the north and the south in the past few years. I need to study it further." Coming back to visit the elderly is the most important thing, and the others are incidental, but it is true. Very important.

Both Gu Qingya and him have a guess, but we still have to look at the research and comparison results to know the specifics.
