After he and his mother-in-law separated, he built a house and stocked a warehouse full of grain and
Chapter 379 New Year and New Look
Aunt Li patted her thigh and shouted: "Hey, it's not bad. The governor will go out after the third day of the Lunar New Year. Doesn't County Magistrate Wu also have to spend the third day of the Lunar New Year?"
"But it will take at least three days for the Fourth Congress to come to our place, right? It only takes more than an hour to come to our place from Fucheng, how can we compare?" Aunt Zhang said immediately.
"The government servants came over the day before yesterday and went back without asking anything. Yesterday, Aunt Ziqian came right after him. Magistrate Wu must have taken it very seriously. I don't know how much he believed it." Fan Qiye sighed deeply.
Yesterday, Bai Ziqian's last words were learned by the children when they came back. They meant that the gangsters were driven away, and they were also a hint. How likely would Magistrate Wu believe it?
As long as you believe it, it might not come again, even if it is postponed for a few days.
Shui Qing was not too optimistic and analyzed straightforwardly: "Magistrate Wu sent people here these two days just to confirm whether these people are in our village and whether they are dead or alive. As long as those gangsters don't go back for a day, he can't letter;
My guess is that there will most likely be a large number of people coming in the afternoon on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year at the latest. "
A circle of people around the fire looked at Shui Qing blankly.
The fire was very bright, and they put on thick and fluffy new cotton clothes. Their bodies were warm from the heat, but at this moment, their hearts felt like they had fallen into an icy pool on nine cold days.
"The fourth day of the Lunar New Year?" Mr. Wang asked repeatedly blankly.
Shui Qing hummed, threw two pieces of firewood into the fire, and said, "Yes, most of the people led by Magistrate Wu will be government officials, and during this period of time, there are many things happening in the camp. The revenue is low, and the government officials may not be as obedient and easy to manage as before. With too many things to do and no money, we have to let people rest, right?
We here attach great importance to ancestor worship. They should deal with us after the third day of the Lunar New Year. Anyway, we can’t escape;
The government officers alone were not enough, they also needed people who would take the lead. These people had to be willing to risk their lives. They could only choose from the refugees and gangsters, which took about half a day. "
The people in the circle only felt colder, with air-conditioning everywhere.
But look around the other fires, there was lively conversation and laughter, and some men were so hot that they even took off their outermost cotton-padded clothes.
It's not cold for others, so why is it so cold here?
Aunt Li trembled and asked, "What should we do?"
"So many people have been injured, and there are still 40 men who are outside and have not returned. There are not many strong men in our village." Father Xu said with a trembling voice.
Shuiqing threw two more firewood into the fire and replied: "There are no men, there are women, no matter old or young, they can all top it."
Mr. Wang hesitated a little, "Is there something wrong with those girls' families? My husband's family will not like it if I marry someone in the future."
Aunt Zhang interrupted with an exclamation: "If it doesn't happen in the future, it doesn't matter whether my husband's family likes it or not! I said, Uncle Wang, you also heard what those gangsters were planning, right?"
The old people are killed directly, and those of our age are here; the young children are sold to earn money, and the young and strong ones are injured and cannot run away but can still work. What do you think of keeping the young girls at home? treat? "
Mr. Wang knew it in his heart but couldn't say it in words, and his mind suddenly became clear.
Yes, what time has it been? I wonder if my husband’s family likes it! You must have your life before you can talk about it later, and you must not fall into the hands of gangsters before you can talk about your husband's family!
Shui Qing looked at the old village chief and took the opportunity to suggest: "Our village has a small population and a small amount of land. In the past, it was poor and the number of people willing to settle there was small. But now there are high-yielding potatoes. Even if there are more people, they will not starve to death, and they can even live well." ;
You can also make money by raising rabbits and growing medicinal materials, but there are so many mountains, forests and wastelands that we can’t do it with our current people. And what about the future?
Our village is rich, why should we attract the envy of others? There must be countless overt and covert fights. We only have about 30 households and about 400 people. Compared with those villages with 600, 700 or even 1,000 people, we are easily oppressed.
If Magistrate Wu really brings someone here, and the girl’s family in our village really has to come, if her husband’s family finds out in the future, they will definitely not be happy, so why not recruit a son-in-law back?
Since there are only a few people and we have to recruit people from outside to settle here in the future, why not agree to the girls' families in the village recruiting husbands, allocate land to them to build houses, and recruit young and strong men to farm the land and deliver medicinal materials to protect the village. "
The national conditions are different. Here we need to stick together to survive better, and she needs people.
Raise rabbits, sheep, pigs, and various livestock, grow rice, wheat, black beans, potatoes, and various medicinal materials. In the future, she will have to form a team to sell rabbits, deliver medicinal materials, and write brushes. In addition, she will need a lot of people to guard and protect the village!
Aunt Li's eyes lit up for the first time after hearing this.
She just felt that Shui Qing's proposal touched her heart!
She only has one daughter, Tian Tian, and her life was difficult in the past. She finally saw that every family in the village had a better life. Tian Tian worked in Shuiqing's medicinal shop for wages. If she got married, how could her village be as good as theirs?
It can be seen from the floods that Shanshui Village is not having an easy time anywhere!
And it will get better and better in the future. Now that Tiantian has seen the good, how can he get used to it when he goes to other villages?
Wang Guifen is the daughter of Mr. Wang. He has several daughters, but the only one married in this village is Guifen. It was this one who made him truly realize the difference between his daughter at his side and her daughter far away!
It's better to be around.
Although he has no daughter to marry, his daughter has a daughter, and he also has a granddaughter. Wouldn't it be better if they were all in this village in the future?
Aunt Zhang thought that Jinniu and Yinniu had gone to the Fourth Meeting to see off the gangsters. Tongniu had been injured in the last confrontation with the gangsters. If Magistrate Wu really brought someone here on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Xiaocao would definitely be there.
Which in-law would like a daughter-in-law who has fought against gangsters? It's not easy to control. I have no choice and no courage to do things. I won't let my son marry at all.
But it's different in their own village. This is their achievement, and they will only be praised by the people in the village. No one in the village will point fingers, and life will be easy.
Fan Qiye thought of a play he heard when he was young.
The play said that the daughter-in-law had a generous dowry. At that time, I just thought it was silly. If I gave so much money to my husband’s family, wouldn’t it be other people’s money?
Only then did I realize that it was not given to my husband's family, but to my daughter and her daughter's children. That was not a loss.
Whether it is giving their daughter a generous dowry, or they are leaving their daughter a piece of land to recruit a son-in-law to build a house, all they want is to be good to their daughter and nothing else.
Everyone else had their own considerations, but in the end they all nodded.
In any case, since others are allowed to settle in their village, why can't it be the girl's home in my own village?
They are now selling a batch of rabbits and dried kudzu. If they are good, they will get one or two taels of silver. The betrothal gift of seven or eight taels is not a lot for them nowadays.
In the past, there was no one in the village who would not be tempted by the betrothal gift of seven or eight taels. I don’t know since when, seven or eight taels of silver was not something that was out of reach for them, but they could earn it with hard work.
Everyone agreed with this proposal and looked at the old village chief.
Today is the New Year, and I hope to have a new atmosphere in the New Year.
