Traveling through the famine years with the system to raise cubs

"Zhishan, there is something I want to ask you for!" Jiang Ling said, looking at Jiang Zhishan who was chuckling.

"Elder Sister has something to do, just tell me straight up, you don't have to be so polite with me!" Jiang Zhishan said.

"I think you give our children an extra half an hour of practice on weekdays. The children still go to class with you every day, but when you come back at night, you teach them alone for a while!" Jiang Ling said.

"That's no problem, but I think I still have something to tell you, big sister!" Jiang Zhishan frowned and glanced at Jiang Wenxi who was playing next to him.

"I don't need to say that Yaojie and Suihe both work hard, but this little girl Wenxi is a little..." Speaking of this, Jiang Zhishan scratched his head, as if he was looking for some adjective in his mind .

"I feel that girl Wenxi is not suitable for studying." After thinking for a long time, Jiang Zhishan said with some embarrassment.

"What do you mean by that?" Jiang Ling asked with a puzzled frown.

"Sister, I don't think Wenxi's talent lies in reading! At least every time she is asked to read, she shows a very painful expression!" Jiang Zhishan continued to reply.

After Jiang Ling heard this, she didn't know how to respond for a while. She carefully recalled Jiang Wenxi's story, as if what Jiang Zhishan said was indeed right.

As long as this little girl reads a book, she will show an extremely painful expression, but you make her work like a tiger, and this girl's strength seems to be different from ordinary people.

A thought suddenly popped up in Jiang Ling's mind, and Jiang Ling whispered, "Zhishan, is there any martial arts gym in Pingxi County?"

"Eldest sister, you wouldn't..." Jiang Zhishan didn't say the last words, but his gaze fell on Jiang Wenxi just like Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling nodded and continued to add: "What you said reminded me, I'm thinking about changing Wenxi's approach."

"Yes... yes, but Wen Xi is only four years old this year, and I'm worried that she won't be able to bear this hardship, let alone Wen Xi is a girl!" Jiang Zhishan said with some distress.

"Try it, if Wen Xi can't hold on, I'll pick her up." Jiang Ling said.

"Well... there is a martial arts gym in Pingxi County, and one of the instructors in it has a good relationship with me. Why don't you take Wenxi to ask about it tomorrow?" Jiang Zhishan asked tentatively.

"Let me ask this girl's opinion first!" With that said, Jiang Ling walked to Jiang Wenxi's side.

Jiang Ling knelt down and looked at Jiang Wenxi in front of her and asked, "Wenxi, are you not interested in reading?"

Jiang Wenxi's whole body trembled when she heard it, and her round face drooped immediately. She pinched the corner of her clothes and didn't speak for a long time.

"Don't be afraid, Wenxi, mother won't tell you!" Seeing Jiang Wenxi's appearance, Jiang Ling comforted her.

Jiang Wenxi was silent for a long time, rubbing the corners of his clothes with both hands, and finally nodded slightly.

"Then what are you interested in, Wenxi?" Jiang Ling continued to ask patiently.

"Well, I...I want to be a heroine! The kind of heroine!" Jiang Wenxi seemed to muster up a lot of courage and raised her head and said to Jiang Ling.

Looking at Jiang Wenxi's shining eyes, Jiang Ling added: "But Wenxi, do you know? Learning martial arts is very hard, and you may even get injured. If so, will you persist?"

"Mother... I will, I just want to make myself stronger and protect mother!" Jiang Wenxi's serious expression immediately moved Jiang Ling.

"Then...your uncle knows a trainer, will mother take you to the martial arts gym in a few days?" Jiang Ling asked.

"What? Really...really? Mother, don't lie to me!" Jiang Wenxi laughed from ear to ear, and walked around Jiang Ling several times

Jiang Ling sighed helplessly and said nothing more.

After finishing her work at home, Jiang Ling went out alone and walked towards her field. As soon as she reached the field, Jiang Ling was surprised to find that the cotton seeds that had been sprinkled before had sprouted. There are still white cotton wool on the buds.

Jiang Ling squatted down and observed these seedlings carefully. In Jiang Ling's eyes, these seedlings were his hope against the cold winter.

"Sister-in-law Jiang, what are you like?" At some point, a sudden voice appeared beside Jiang Ling, which startled Jiang Ling.

She quickly turned her head to check, and the person who asked was Zhao Erleng's daughter-in-law.

"Daughter-in-law! You scared me!" Jiang Ling said as she stood up, patted her chest.

"That's right. The season for growing food is over. I just want to grow some cotton and raise some ducks by the way. When winter is coming, I can use these cotton and duck feathers to make cotton coats to keep warm."

"What? Can this keep warm? Or duck feathers?" Zhao Erleng's daughter-in-law is just an ordinary village woman who can't afford cotton at all in this day and age. At most, she just stuffs some reeds into her winter clothes as stuffing.

"Yes, cotton can be made into cotton batting, and duck feathers can be made into duck down, which is light and warm in winter clothes. Do you remember the mask? The interlayer inside is cotton!" Jiang Ling said.

"Then...then after the autumn harvest for a while, is there still time to grow cotton?" Zhao Erling's wife looked at Jiang Ling with hopeful eyes.

Jiang Ling tried hard to recall the content about cotton in the book. The geographical location of Lujia Village is a place where planting is done twice a year. Generally, seeds will be planted again after the autumn harvest, and the autumn harvest is just at the end of this month.

Although it is a bit late to plant cotton, it should still be possible.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ling nodded and said: "After the autumn harvest, it is still too late to sow the seeds immediately!"

"Sister-in-law Jiang, where did you buy the cotton seeds? And where did you buy the ducks?" Zhao Erleng's daughter-in-law asked.

"I bought them all in Changning Town, the seeds are in a grocery store, and the ducks are in the hands of a peddler!" Jiang Ling replied.

Hearing this, Zhao Erling's daughter-in-law showed a somewhat disappointed expression. The autumn harvest is coming soon, and she is already very busy. Her children have to go to pick spicy grass every day, and she has to go to Jiang Ling's house to work every day.

I don't have time to go to town.

Jiang Ling seemed to see that Zhao Erlen's daughter-in-law was in trouble, she opened her mouth and said, "Sister-in-law Erlen, I'm going to Changning Town the day after tomorrow, do you want to buy some cotton seeds and ducks?"

"Oh, this... this won't delay your work!" Zhao Erleng's daughter-in-law almost cracked her ears to the bottom of her ears when she heard that Jiang Ling was going to Changning Town, but she still tried to pretend to be embarrassed and asked.

"Don't delay, just tell me how many seeds and ducks you want, and I'll bring them back for you!" Jiang Ling said.

"That... that's really great! I... I want seeds for ten acres of land, and you can bring ten ducks for me!" said Zhao Erleng's daughter-in-law hesitantly.

"Okay, these are about a hundred copper coins. If you think there is nothing wrong with Erdeng daughter-in-law, then I will bring them back for you the day after tomorrow!" Jiang Ling said.

"Oh, thank you so much, sister-in-law Jiang, just speak up if you need me in the future!" Zhao Erling's daughter-in-law grinned.

Jiang Ling took a closer look at the growth of these cotton buds and made sure there were no major problems before returning home in peace.

Now several village women have come to Jiang Ling's house one after another and started to work on their hands. Jiang Yaojie in the kitchen is also carefully melting the beeswax.

Jiang Yaojie asked about this once, but was vaguely fooled by Jiang Ling, so Jiang Yaojie never asked again.
