daily struggle in ancient times

Wei Yun didn't sleep for a long time this time, but he was extremely at ease. When he woke up, the two brothers of the Hu family had already taken the cakes and left. Huo Cheng was washing the pot in the stove. Seeing Wei Yun coming in, he tilted his head and asked : "Why don't you sleep more?"

Wei Yun quickly snatched the brush from his hand, and said angrily, "Why didn't you wake me up, luckily my mother didn't get up, if she saw it, she would have to blame me, what kind of husband can be so lazy, let a man Working in the kitchen."

Huo Cheng didn't refuse either, and let him take the brush in his hand, and added some hot water for him from the burning pot beside him, "The water is cold, don't freeze."

"You still know Shuiliang?" Wei Yun rolled his eyes at him.

Huo Cheng smiled and didn't say a word. He has rough skin and thick flesh. It doesn't matter whether it's cold or hot. The little husband should pay more attention.

Aunt Huo also confiscated the cabinet door key that Aunt Huo gave to Wei Yun yesterday. Their family is still relatively well-off, so they don't have to search and search to deduct everyone's food.By the way, she can also get a wave of Huo Cheng's favorability. Besides, there is not only one key, and it can still be supervised, so she has nothing to hate.

After breakfast, Wei Yun sent Tong Geer to take Yu Geer out to play, probably because of the sympathy for each other, Wei Yun couldn't help feeling sorry for Tong Geer, and this child was really sensible, so Wei Yun didn't want to Let him always stay at home and work.

Brother Tong is not young anymore, and he will see each other in three to five years. He had a hard life before, although he gained a little weight during this time, but he is still too thin, so he needs to take good care of him.There is nothing to do in the winter, so let the two children go out for a run, and they will be healthier.

The sun was fine today, so Wei Yun took out all the quilts to dry, and when they were drying, the village chief came to the door.

"Brother Yun, is Dacheng at home?"

"At home, why are you here?" Wei Yun welcomed people in, and at the same time called out to Huo Cheng who was cleaning up the pigsty.

The village chief sat down cross-legged on the kang, took a sip of hot tea, and said unhurriedly: "It's nothing, I just came to tell you about the slaughter of pigs."

The past few years have been good, and the big guys have enough money to catch a piglet and raise it for a year or so. Not only will the family have meat to eat, but they can also sell part of it to subsidize the family.Although not every family raises them, there are still more than [-] households in Lijia Village.

There are more people raising pigs here, and killing pigs becomes difficult. There are only two butchers, but there are dozens of pigs waiting to be slaughtered.It’s okay to say that the big guys kill the pigs in different ways, but the closer the new year is approaching, the more expensive the pork is. This pig is at least a hundred catties, which is not a small sum of money for the farmer.

In the first two years, there were many quarrels in the village because of this, and there were even a few fights. Later, the village chief simply asked everyone to draw lots to decide when to kill.Although some people still have opinions, most people still agree with this approach.

As soon as the twelfth lunar month entered a few days ago, the village chief asked people to draw lots. The Huo family lined up three days later, which was just right.

Generally, a few days before the pig slaughter, the village head will go to the house to ask how much meat to keep and how much to sell. After all, there are still many people in the village who do not raise pigs, so it will be easier for people to buy after asking.

Huo Cheng washed his hands, and when he entered the house, he just heard the village head ask, and he took the words, "Keep half and sell the other half."

The village chief frowned, "Keep so much?" How can a pig weigh a hundred catties, and the farmer's family is poor, so which family can keep half of it so extravagantly.Most of them are only willing to save a little bit for a taste, Da Cheng is too extravagant.

He thought for a while, and persuaded: "The village chief knows that you have beaten a tiger some time ago, and you still have some money in your hand, but you have just got married, and you have a big family to support, and you will have children in the future. Which one of the family is not right?" Those who spend money are not allowed to be extravagant. It is enough to keep a dozen catties of this meat at most, and sell the rest. Our farmer’s family can’t earn a few silver all year round, so there are many places to spend money. It's on."

Huo Cheng's attitude was very firm, "I know the village head is doing it for my own good, but we don't just want our family to have enough food and clothing throughout the year, and we don't have to keep all the meat for ourselves. Last time I came from the city The young master likes the bacon cooked by Brother Yun very much, so he ordered some with us, and the price is more reasonable than selling pork alone."

Wei Yun was very surprised when he heard the words, why didn't he know that someone wanted to buy bacon?It can be seen that the old god Huo Cheng is here, and the village chief is here, so it is not easy for him to ask more questions.

There are more than 200 taels of money in the left and right families, and the business of making cakes is also earning a lot, and half a pig can still be eaten, so I don’t hear it.

Seeing that he had made up his mind, the village chief nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll tell the villagers that you only sell half a head."

Thinking of what the eldest son told him yesterday, he asked again: "Did Huo Jiang come to you again yesterday?"

Seeing Huo Cheng's stern expression, the village chief couldn't help but sighed and said: "You are a good person, but it's a pity that this Jiang boy is not good or bad." He forcibly wiped out Huo Cheng's last point of affection.

At any rate, he had seen older children since he was a child, and the village chief was unwilling to see these two children become enemies completely.But what Huo Jiang did was really unethical, and the village chief really couldn't speak against his conscience.

He stood up and warned: "Next time if he comes again, you can go directly to me. You gave him face at the beginning and didn't publicize the divorce. Since he is shameless now, you don't have to give him any shame." He is hiding it, if he dares to come again, I will personally go to the Yamen, old man, and let the magistrate judge!"

Seeing that Huo Cheng bowed his head in response, he sighed in his heart, the youngest of the Huo family must feel uncomfortable being forced into such a situation.He couldn't help thinking about the separation that day.

After all, Huo Cheng thought of Huo Jiang's goodness, and never thought of breaking off the marriage, but Huo Jiang really wanted a lot, Huo Cheng couldn't be angry, so he said that he would give Huo Jiang everything when he broke up the relationship, but Huo Jiang This bastard, he agreed without even thinking about it.

When Huo Cheng got married, this person came over. The village head thought he was trying to mend the relationship, but unexpectedly, he came to Huo's house yesterday to make a fuss, and the two brothers even had a fight.

"It's done, I won't do much, you two are good boys, live a good life in the future!" He finished speaking, sighed and walked away with his hands behind his back.

Wei Yun looked at Huo Cheng in surprise.

He said how Huo Cheng's temper could tolerate Huo Er jumping around for so long, and there was a reason for his feelings.You see, now that Huo Chengcheng has beaten people like that, it is not easy for the village chief to think that it was Huo Jiang's fault.

In this village, the old people say that there is no taboo about the separation of families. Usually, anyone who proposes a separation will have to be stabbed in the back.He said that Huo Cheng first mentioned the separation of the family, and everyone in the village said that he forced Huo Jiang to leave the house. Why did no one speak on Huo Jiang's side.

Wei Yun cast a slanted glance at Huo Cheng, and joked, "I didn't expect that you have a talent for fortune-telling, you're so clever."

Huo Cheng smiled and said: "I didn't think about this at the time, but I slowly figured it out later."

Wei Yun didn't believe it either, so he snorted softly and asked, "What's the matter with the bacon? Why didn't I hear anyone want to buy it? The Han family is originally from the South, and the cook at home must be better than me. Shopkeeper Feng It’s also a medicinal herb business, so how can you do this bacon business? You just rely on the village head’s ignorance to talk nonsense. Although our family has a little money now, we can afford half a pig, but let’s agree, just this time, You can’t be so lavish in the future.”

When Huo Cheng heard what he said about us, he felt very good, and couldn't help leaning over to kiss him: "This is not nonsense, this bacon business can be done, and if you kill a pig later, you will get tired and clean up the meat. After the new year, we will give it to you." He traded it for money."

Wei Yun covered his face and gave him a hard look, how embarrassing to be seen in broad daylight!

He hastily pushed the man out with all his hands and feet, and urged: "Go and clean up the pigsty, this pig has only a few days to live, you should let it live better."

Huo Cheng couldn't help laughing when he heard this, his little husband is indeed a wonderful person.

Wei Yun rarely rolled his eyes, and cursed in a low voice, "Not serious!"

Wei Yun trusted Huo Cheng very much. Since Huo Cheng said that the bacon business could be done, he planned to prepare all the seasonings before the pig was killed.

The seasonings that he carried at home were used up when he made them last time. The Huo family only had the seasonings they had in stock, but they didn't have a few spices for making bacon.In addition, there is not enough salt, and the firewood at home is not suitable for smoking bacon, so everything has to be prepared.

During lunch, Huo Chengcheng told Aunt Huo about the slaughter of pigs. She knew that her son had a business to do, so she had no objection. She even told Wei Yun that if he lacked anything, he would buy it, and if he had no money, he would go to her. want.

She also has her own thoughts, with her own betrothal gifts as a base, the money in Wei Yun's hands will not be much less, and Dacheng will not give her all the money in his hands, Wei Yun must have it in his hands.The little money in her hand now seems to be a lot, but when it is really time to use it, it is not much.

Brother Tong will also meet in a few years, this is the only root left by the boss, she always has to plan for him.Wei Yun seems to be a good person now, but people are unpredictable, and the money is always reliable.

Naturally, Wei Yun wouldn't ask her for money, and he hasn't been to the city for a while, the young master came here to attend the wedding banquet last time, he hasn't thanked her yet, and just took this opportunity to visit him.

Tomorrow, according to the etiquette, Wei Yun will go back home, and Wei Xiaodi, as his natal family, would definitely not be suitable to go back with them tomorrow.

Fortunately, they discussed it with Aunt Gu before they got married, so after dinner, Huo Chengcheng took someone to Aunt Gu's place.

Considering that he had to return home tomorrow and go to the county seat, Huo Cheng didn't bother at night and let Wei Yun sleep peacefully.

This time I slept warmly and comfortably, and when I woke up in the morning, I was full of energy, and I didn't feel the drowsiness of the previous two days at all.On the contrary, Huo Cheng, seeing the happy look of the little husband, felt a little inexplicable in his heart.

He originally thought that the little husband would have to rest for a few days, but he didn't expect to recover almost in one day. It seems that the previous level is completely bearable for the little husband, and it seems that it can be more intense than before, Huo Cheng thought.
