Wear it quickly! My mad dog-like host!

Spring has returned to the earth, and this year's new round of grain crops has been put into the ground. The people of Zhangjia Village took a rare breath of relief.

This year's corvee is to repair the official road in this section of the road nearby.

There was heavy snowfall a few years ago, and after the snow melted, there were landslides and collapses.

In addition to being used by ordinary people, the official road is also an important road for official travel, transportation of supplies, and message transmission. Its importance is self-evident.

After receiving the notice from the Yamen official about the corvées, Chief Zhang immediately arranged for one person to be assigned to each household.

Zhang Xingyuan came to the side of the Zhang clan leader and watched her register the names of people. Those who should pay to be exempted from the corvee paid to be exempted from the corvee.

Thinking of Li Wu saying that Village Chief Li wanted to make a fuss about this matter behind his back, he suddenly asked doubtfully: "Grandma, Village Chief Li doesn't care about it? Aren't you afraid that she will make a fuss?"

Chief Zhang glanced at her and said, "Don't worry, she won't cause any trouble."

Then he said, "You don't think that if you spend money to avoid the corvee, there will be one less person to do the corvee, right?"

"?" Zhang Xingyuan scratched his head, "Isn't it?"

Chief Zhang shook his head, "You still want to go out and have a career. You haven't figured out this thing in the village yet, so you can only scare guys like Li Wu who don't care about their mother and don't teach them about their father."

"You can go out and make a living if you want. Before that, please satisfy your mother and me first. With you like this, we are both afraid that you will be sold and help count the money.

Moreover, your father is in poor health and you are the only heir. If something happens to you, what will your father do? "

Speaking of this, Zhang Xingyuan was a little annoyed, "Grandma..."

"Don't talk about the distance, if you can conquer the juniors from several nearby villages, your father and I will allow you to go out and explore."

Patriarch Zhang shook his head, brought the topic back, and taught her, "If Li Chunlin dares to make a fuss about using money to pay for corvee, the first person to deal with her will be the Yamen, or else it will be the rich households in the town or county, which one of them Didn’t you pay with money?”

“And although corvee work is hard, it is also an opportunity for some poor people to make money.

The Yamen collected the money used to pay off the corvee and recruited a group of poor people who did not have to do the corvee but needed to make money to work. Not all of the money collected was swallowed up...

We have to walk for several days to work in other prefectures and cities even during our leisure time. Who wants to go to work in an unfamiliar place when we can earn money near our home?

If you are unlucky, no one will know if you die outside.

Therefore, there are many people doing paid corvee work. If Li Chunlin dares to reveal it, these people will probably hate her to death. "

Patriarch Zhang: "Besides, Li Chunlin is also the head of the village. She would not have thought of the consequences of causing this matter."

Zhang Xingyuan put on an awkward smile and said, "Grandma, you have forgotten one thing. Village Chief Li is very hostile to you. It is inevitable that she will not get mad..."

He said with some curiosity, "Speaking of which, why is Village Chief Li so hostile to you? He even looks resentful towards the entire Zhangjia Village."

Hearing Zhang Xingyuan ask this, Chief Zhang's eyebrows were a little proud. Of course it was because your grandma embraced the beautiful boy!

But you can't say that to a junior like that.

Chief Zhang: "That's because our Zhangjia Village is the village with the best living conditions nearby."

"This is because our village does not have enough land and the population is still low. Otherwise, Zhangjia Village can be changed into Zhangjia Town."

"If Zhangjia Village really becomes Zhangjia Town, how can our Zhangjia Village become a big family in Zhangjia Town? If we go around and get the name of a declining aristocratic family, you juniors will have a more respectable identity when you go out to make friends. .”

“Between the farmers digging in the fields and the wealthy families in the town, it is the latter that attracts people to take a second look.”

"Even if I do something in the future, the name will sound better."

Zhang Xingyuan's mouth opened wide as she listened. She never thought that her grandma was not too ambitious.

"Grandma..."

One word brought Chief Zhang back to reality. She glanced at her eldest granddaughter angrily, and then at the gathered tribesmen. She took a breath in her heart, and nodded at Zhang Xingyuan and the younger tribe members around her.

“It’s not like you guys are not motivated, you have to work hard for us old guys to fill in the gaps for you!

Can books eat you? Everyone feels like they have thorns all over their body when they read a book! The other village chiefs can’t even learn from it! "

As soon as the words came out, Zhang Xingyuan and other juniors immediately lowered their heads and looked at the tips of their shoes, with honest and humble expressions on their faces.

The experience of being scolded for many years tells them that the mood of these scumbag students when they are studying is as good as that of their graves.

Whenever the elders talk about the topic of "reading and literacy", bow your head and listen honestly, and don't talk back, otherwise it will be more than just talk, and you will not be able to talk nonsense.

As soon as Chief Zhang's words came out, they immediately resonated with the surrounding clan members.

"Yes, these young children are really not good enough. In the past, our village had a hard time, so we couldn't learn even if we wanted to. Now that life is better, we have worked so hard to support you in school and don't even learn. It's really a waste of the efforts of the tribe."

Zhang Xingyuan and other juniors wanted to refute.

The clan school in Zhangjia Village has been here for almost a hundred years now, and the rules for admission have never been changed. No matter how hard or tiring it is, the clan members have to study and learn calligraphy. If life is bad, it's not like they can't learn! ! !

Adults really cover themselves up!

"That one in my family, I really get angry when I see her studying. She feels like she is probing her. She would rather tuck her ankles than pick up the book. Her brother is not as good as sitting still!"

"That's not true. Breaking a few sticks won't make them sit in front of the desk for a while longer!"

"This year's Qingming Festival, each household in the village will pool some money and invite Feng Shui masters from outside to check if there is something wrong with the ancestral graves, right?"

"You said that our clan has never lost the blessings of our ancestors during festivals and festivals. Why don't you protect the younger generations of the family who have some potential?"

Juniors from Zhangjia Village: "..."

Forget it, I’m not very angry, I’m used to it.

The adults wouldn't beat them to death anyway, they just said a few words and treated them as sacrifices to make their life in the village easier.

Zhang Xingyuan lowered her head and thought about the words of Patriarch Zhang. Should she conquer the people of her generation nearby...

When the adults' scolding came to an end, Zhang Xingyuan and other juniors started to retreat with their necks hunched. After withdrawing from the crowd, they immediately ran away.

I can still vaguely hear the discussions of the adults behind me.

"Tell me, how good would it be to put this energy into studying?"

"That's right, when practicing martial arts, you have to face swords, and injuries are common. Life is not as easy as that of officials in the yamen..."

"Forget it, after they suffer a loss, they will know that the adults did not lie to them..."
