daily struggle in ancient times

When Li Langzhong saw Huo Cheng coming to the door early in the morning, he thought something was wrong, but in the end, he just wanted to ask about the concerns about his pregnancy, so he sighed repeatedly: "Hey, you look at such a big man. It really hurts my husband, it's the first time I see that the head of the family is more nervous than the younger brothers and women in the family."

Huo Chengcheng pretended not to hear, and kept asking, and Li Langzhong was very annoyed: "I told you clearly enough, what else do you have to ask, if I don't say it, it means that's the case." Things can be done for Brother Yun, there is no harm, why are you so stubborn. If you continue like this, you will get sick before Brother Yun is born. "

Huo Cheng was also a little anxious, "Then what if you forgot something?"

Li Langzhong almost didn't kill this reckless man who questioned his medical skills, but looking at this man's strong body, he could only resign himself to say: "Okay, if you have anything to ask, just this once, don't bother me again. If you come again, just give me the prescription you used to treat your legs before!"

With his words, Huo Cheng asked more and more unscrupulously. Li Langzhong's mouth was dry when he said it all morning, but he was still full of energy. Li Langzhong silently cursed countless times in his heart, and finally at noon sent people away.

Huo Cheng also knows not to push people too hard, so although there are still many questions to ask, at least the most important ones have been asked, and it is okay to ask slowly in the next few days.

Wei Yun didn't know anything about it, his face was full of excitement at the moment, and there was still a little envy hidden in the eyes of Brother Chou.

After he got married, he was busy with many things every day, and the ugly brother's house lived far away, and the two of them hadn't talked properly for a long time.Whether it was sugar, seafood, or fruits from the south that Huo Cheng brought back, they were all rare things.

Huo Cheng brought a lot, so Wei Yun gave some to Brother Chou and let them try something new.

It turned out that when I arrived at Brother Chou's house, I found that the whole family was happy, and it looked like something good was going on.Sure enough, before Wei Yun was in the lobby, Brother Chou couldn't restrain his inner joy and told Wei Yun that he had a baby.

Brother Chou has been married for several years, but he has never had any children. In addition, he is not well-known in the village, so the rumors in the village are very ugly.Although he is used to being talked about and abused, Brother Chou still feels sad.

He has always liked children very much, and after marrying Du Yuanshan, he has been looking forward to getting pregnant day by day, but there has been no news.Du Yuanshan really likes the ugly brother. Although he has a bad face, he is not particularly good-looking, just an ordinary person.

This ordinary person is still an orphan whose parents died. When he was brought back by the ugly brother's parents, although he was a little afraid of this person with red spots on his face who looked like a ghost, but after a long time, Du Yuanshan found out The ugly boy has a beautiful heart.

Although being targeted and abused by so many people, Brother Chou never complains about himself or others, and always maintains a kind heart.Although he looks a little cowardly, he is actually a very strong and assertive person in his heart, just like the most ordinary weed on this earth, weak and pitiful but always working hard to live.

Therefore, regardless of the rumors and rumors flying in the village, there are still many people persuading him to take another concubine or remarry, but Du Yuanshan pretends that he has not heard of it, and has no other thoughts, just want to guard the ugly brother and live a good life It doesn't matter whether you have children or not in your own childhood.

But this is Brother Chou's heart knot, so Du Yuanshan has been tossing and tossing a lot in the past few years. He drank a lot of messy medicine with Brother Chou, and he didn't complain at all.Now that Brother Chou is finally pregnant, thinking about the past, Brother Chou can't help but get tears in his eyes.

"Brother Yuanshan doesn't really care, but for me, I have been tossing and taking a lot of messy medicines these years, without saying a single unnecessary word, and comforting me every time. But now it's fine, I have it, See what those gossiping women in the village have to say!"

Although Wei Yun was a little envious, he was really happy for him. Hearing this, he said with the same hatred: "That's right, it's not tiring to talk about other people's things every day. This time, you can do it well." Gag their mouths!"

Although both of them know that this is not true, after all, those gossiping women don't have this one and that one, and they can say ugly for a lifetime just about being ugly, so why worry about not being able to find other places to talk.

But even though they knew this, the two of them felt a lot more comfortable after saying this. Wei Yun looked at the flat belly of the ugly brother, and asked curiously: "How old is the child?"

"It's been almost three months." Brother Chou said, "It's a good thing I haven't taken any random medicine in the past six months, or else Li Langzhong said that he would give me a bowl of abortion medicine, and I would really cry to death."

At this moment, he is very glad that he stopped the medicine half a year ago in frustration, otherwise the child would be lost.

Wei Yun patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "So our baby is a lucky one! I told you before that don't believe those folk remedies. Look, you just stopped for a long time before the baby came."

Brother Chou thought so too, and quickly promised Wei Yun that he would never believe in these weird things again.

The two talked next to each other for a while before Wei Yun got up and left.

Wei Yun didn't say that he might be pregnant. Li Langzhong has never been diagnosed, and Wei Yun is unwilling to say anything. It is impossible for his family not to know, and others forget it.

Wei Yun is pregnant now, and Huo Chengcheng is reluctant to let him do heavy work again, but the business with Tong's family has already been negotiated, and they even paid a deposit. Now that they recklessly break the contract, their reputation will be completely ruined. I'm afraid the road is completely broken.

Huo Cheng was 1 unwilling to ask Wei Yun to marinate the bacon, he was reluctant.

He had such concerns, but the other three did not.

Therefore, when Huo Cheng came home and found that the three had explained the matter clearly, and even flattered Wei Yun's bacon that it could produce flowers, he felt his hands itchy instantly.

The three people who were dancing and blowing rainbow farts suddenly felt a little cold on their backs, especially Huo Xiaoyong, who spoke the most vigorously, felt that a dagger that cut iron like mud had been placed on his neck, as long as he dared to say a word , and immediately killed him.

The three people with instincts like small animals shut their mouths immediately, shrinking back like quails.

Although Wei Yun was a little strange, what the three people said just now completely occupied his attention, and he didn't think about it at all. When he saw Huo Cheng came back, he immediately said with great interest: "Then let's start now, I'll go Tell Butcher Zhang to send a few more pigs over in the next few days, if Tong’s Restaurant asks for more, Butcher Zhang may not be able to supply our meat by himself, and we have to go to the city to find other butchers.”

As he said that, he was about to get up and go out again, but was stopped by Huo Cheng: "Don't be in a hurry, you now...wait for two days."

Wei Yun knew what he meant, and immediately became anxious.If he wasn't pregnant, Wei Yun would be sad. If he was pregnant, depending on Huo Cheng's attitude, he might have to confess him like an ancestor, and it would be impossible to work.

But with so much white money in front of him, he couldn't earn it, and it would even affect the credibility of several people in the future. Wei Yun felt that he could not withdraw.

He pulled Huo Cheng aside and told him the pros and cons one by one in a low voice, but Huo Cheng's mouth seemed to be made of the hardest wood in the world, and he didn't move at all.Wei Yun's mouth was dry, and he couldn't help playing a rogue: "I don't care, this business must be done, if we don't make so much money, then we are fools! Besides, Li Langzhong said, Doing some light work is good for the pregnant woman, you know or someone else knows! Cured bacon is so leisurely and can make money, where can you find it?"

Seeing his angry look, Huo Cheng had a smile in his eyes, and asked him gently: "Do you really want to do it that much?"

Wei Yun nodded vigorously.

Huo Cheng patted his head helplessly, nodded and said, "That's fine, then we'll do it, but you just need to take care of the materials. I'll ask my mother to find a few people to help you. You have to promise me, you can use your mouth, Appropriate hands are fine, but you must not tire yourself, understand?"

He was actually not very willing until now, but he didn't want to see the little husband disappointed, so he could only grit his teeth and agree.After all, his own state at the moment is actually a little abnormal, and he is too nervous, although he doesn't want to change it.

Wei Yun was about to give up, but Huo Cheng suddenly agreed, overjoyed, "Then I'll go tell my mother!"

Huo Cheng nodded, and seeing him enter the house, he turned his head and glanced lightly at Gu Hongzhi three times, pointed to the white sugar piled up in the yard and said, "Move to the ox cart, let's go to the city."

The three of them got the order, and they didn't hold back any more. You chased me and went to work as porters.

The white sugar almost suppressed their entire net worth. Huo Cheng didn't put all of his 200 taels into it. He took some and bought other things. The remaining 30 taels of silver were filled in by the remaining three.

The last time Gu Hongzhi followed Huo Cheng for a trip, he made some money and took the bulk out. Huo Dayong and his brothers only brought five taels of silver in total, and Huo Cheng borrowed five taels from them in private, which was regarded as an investment of ten taels of silver. go in.

Both brothers knew that Huo Cheng was helping them in disguise because of their relatives' affection. Naturally, they were very grateful and became closer to Huo Cheng.Not to mention Gu Hongzhi, Huo Cheng has the capital to eat everything every time, but every time he deliberately embezzles some, the purpose is self-evident.He followed Huo Chengqin for both comfort and money, and he was very devoted to Huo Cheng.

The farmers felt sorry for the cows, and there were more than 100 catties of sugar in the car, so everyone stopped at the same time, and they took turns to sit along the way.

After going out for such a long time, everyone looked at the county seat with a little bit of emotion in their hearts. Without him, compared with Qingyuan County, Ping County County is really not enough to see.

When Huo Cheng entered the city, he went straight to find the shopkeeper Feng of Huichuntang. Whether it was tiger bones, tiger skins, or the batch of medicinal materials that Huo Chengyun had brought back last time, Huo Chengcheng had done him two big favors.Although Huo Cheng also benefited from this matter, both parties were able to get what they needed, but the shopkeeper Feng was an old man, and for a young man like Huo Cheng who is capable and capable, friendship naturally has a lot of benefits. It's just a favor between the two. Very happy.

Seeing him coming to the door, shopkeeper Feng naturally smiled, and while ordering Xiao Er to bring tea, he took Huo Cheng and the others to the inner room.

Gu Hongzhi is fine, Huo Dayong and his brothers felt a little cramped after going through such a battle. Fortunately, they have been tempered by running business these days, and the cramps disappeared quickly with the passage of time.

Shopkeeper Feng took a sip of tea, and said with some emotion: "Speaking of which, I have a lot to do with Brother Huo, and this time, this is..." He raised his hand to compare the number three, and praised: "I After living in this city for so many years, a talented young man like Brother Huo has only seen this one."

Huo Cheng said indifferently: "Shopkeeper Feng is misleading, I have a business here, I don't know if Shopkeeper Feng will do it or not?"

"Brother Huo brought it up, so I will definitely listen to it." Shopkeeper Feng said with a smile.

Huo Cheng knew what kind of temperament this person was, and he didn't hide it. He explained how the sugar came from, and concealed the plot of the Tong family's help. He only said that he met his old friend and asked him to I secretly unpacked a little from the big bag.

Shopkeeper Feng knew that Huo Cheng was not safe to tell him the truth, but he didn't care, as long as he could confirm that the goods were obtained with serious effort, and not snatched by unscrupulous means.What's the use of inquiring about so many others, as long as it's profitable?Maybe the big fish will run away.

Shopkeeper Feng looked at the small bag of sugar that Huo Cheng and the others brought in. It was as white as snow and sweet in the mouth, much sweeter than the maltose from the Northland. Although the price was very expensive, it was always the favorite of the rich family.

Huichuntang is the best and largest medical clinic in the county. He knows almost all those in the county who can afford and are willing to eat this sugar. These information, which are difficult for Huo Cheng and the others to obtain, are like commonplace food for him. as easy as that.

In Dazhou, being able to afford granulated sugar was a status symbol, no matter how expensive it was, there were always countless nobles flocking to him.This thing is a rare commodity in the capital, not to mention that in a small county like theirs, so much sugar can be sold for dozens of taels of silver, which is worth his annual wages.

"What are you going to do this time?" Shopkeeper Feng asked while smacking the sweetness of the idea.

Huo Cheng smiled, "Old rules."

Shopkeeper Feng's eyes lit up, and the creases on his face showed some satisfaction. He calculated the price of this kind of sugar in the city, stretched out his hand and said, "350 Wen per catty, [-] catties, I'll pay for it all. "

Huo Cheng nodded, "I listen to you."

Shopkeeper Feng nodded in satisfaction, that's why he loves dealing with Huo Cheng.This person can afford it and let it go. He never wants to eat alone when he earns money, and he can always take him with him every time. Not to mention two favors, even ten, he is willing.

Gu Hongzhi and the others were a little unbelievable when they saw that he had negotiated so simply and neatly. They thought it would take a long time to sell these candies, but who would have thought that they would be sold out only the next day.

Huo Cheng was concerned about his family and refused to stay longer in the city, so he politely declined Shopkeeper Feng's invitation to eat, and the better he was with him, he brought the rest of the candy over tomorrow, and then drove home non-stop.

Along the way, Huo Dayong walked and thought all the way, and finally couldn't help asking: "Why do we need to find shopkeeper Feng? Can't we sell it by ourselves? It can sell dozens of coins per catty."

Gu Hongzhi glanced at Huo Cheng, saw that he had no intention of speaking, so he explained: "Let's sell it ourselves, it's a waste of time, and it may cause trouble. Whoever runs a shop in this city doesn't have someone behind him? If you compete with them for business, how can they spare you? We are not shopkeeper Feng, we have the ability to confront them head-on." To put it bluntly, it is just a waste of money to eliminate disasters.

Huo Dayong shut his mouth a little hesitantly when he heard the words.

The surrounding atmosphere also became more delicate, after all, no one would think that he was the one who had no power to fight back in the battle.

Huo Cheng sighed silently, and changed the topic: "I'm afraid I have to cook a lot of bacon recently, and Wei Yun can't do it alone. When the time comes, I will let my aunt and Aunt Gu come together, and Wei Yun will pay them."

Huo Xiaoyong immediately refused: "Help is definitely necessary. I will tell my mother when I get back, but the wages are ignored. It is a big family, and it is not necessary to hurt the peace."

Huo Cheng disagreed: "Brothers still need to settle accounts clearly, not to mention that we are cousins, and this is not a matter of a day or two, once is fine, if it is like this every day in the future, no matter how good the relationship is, it will be rejected. Grind clean."

The two brothers Huo Dayong looked at each other, wanting to say something, but thinking of the current situation of their own family, they didn't say anything.

When the ox cart stopped in front of Huo's house, Huo Cheng took out the seasonings he bought today, and told Gu Hongzhi: "You can give as much sugar as you can get in the yard today, don't force it, come to the house for dinner tonight, I have I want to discuss things with you.”

Several people responded quickly, Huo Cheng was carrying the seasoning, and soon found the young husband in the kitchen, the air was still filled with the sweetness of red dates.

"Why are you here?" Huo Cheng was a little puzzled, "The brothers of the Hu family have sold more during this time?"

Wei Yun shook his head amusedly, "No way, although there are two of them, they are still two children, how much can they sell in a day. I made these hair cakes for the ugly brother. He was just pregnant and said he wanted to eat them today. .Fat cake, I just steam a few pieces, it doesn't take much trouble"

Huo Cheng nodded, and sat down next to Wei Yun. Wei Yun couldn't help leaning towards him, until he felt a sense of security when he was next to a warm body.

Huo Cheng told shopkeeper Feng about selling sugar again today, and finally settled the ledger.

"We spent 200 taels of silver for 50 catties in Qingyuan County. Although we sold a little on the road, the people's ability was limited, so we didn't sell a lot. We made about [-] taels in total when we bought sugar. Hongzhi and the others also took the money, and put in a lot of effort along the way. I thought about giving Hongzhi seven taels, and Dayong and the others two and five taels. Although Dayong and the others did not give as much money as Hongzhi, But between the two of them, Hongzhi only has one person, which is reasonable."

"You can do as you see." Naturally, Wei Yun had no objection, he thought for a while, and said, "You gave me 320 taels before the head, plus what I had in my own hands, and what I earned these days, it's almost 400 taels It’s silver. If you add the money earned this time, it will be almost 420 taels of silver. I wondered, can we buy some land?”

"Although it is quite profitable to run a business, it is also very tiring. We agreed to buy land after earning money, and become a small landlord in the future. There was no suitable one before, so I didn't mention it, but I heard I said that Uncle Tongli's land will be sold two days ago, do you think it will be successful?"

"Li Tongli?" Huo Cheng sneered, "Didn't their family always look down on people, why are they selling the land now?"

Wei Yun shook his head, "I don't know either. It seems that the son of Uncle Tongli's family lost a lot of money in gambling. Uncle Tongli wants to save his son, so he wants to sell part of his land."

Huo Cheng frowned, a little unhappy, without him, Li Tongli is really a representative figure of being rich and unkind.

Almost half of the land in Lijia Village is in his hands, and many families in the village also rent their land heavily, but the rent and tax Li Tongli collects is [-]% higher than that of most families in the city. He looked down on the villagers every day, flaunting himself and slandering others everywhere.

Especially people with foreign surnames, no matter what they moved here, he would not like to see them in all kinds of ways, saying every day that everyone in the Li family village is their servants.This kind of thing from the previous dynasty has long since disappeared without a trace with the collapse of the previous dynasty, and the way the other party looks at people with their nostrils is really annoying.

"Let's take a look again." Huo Cheng said.

Seeing that Wei Yun answered in disappointment, Huo Cheng leaned over and said, "Let's take a look first, the village head is okay, so many lands are all held by people with foreign surnames, I think the clan elders will not agree, let's Look again."

Wei Yun nodded, thought for a while and said, "Then let's buy a small piece of wasteland first. I think there are a lot of wasteland beside the river, and it's also cheap. One mu of land can be four or five mu worse than a good field. I thought Buy some that are close to the river, and dig a pond later, where you can raise fish, grow some lotus root and wild rice, that’s pretty good.”

Huo Cheng rubbed his head, "It's up to you to make up your own mind, the money has already been given to you anyway, so you can use it as you see fit."

Tong's family wanted a lot of bacon and was in a hurry, but after only two days after arriving home, Huo Chengcheng received a reminder letter from shopkeeper Tong.It wasn't long before they set off that the ink was ready and he was writing.

It is impossible for Wei Yun to make so much bacon by himself. Huo Chengcheng wanted to find some helpers for him. While thinking, he said to Wei Yun: "I told my mother, let her help find two people , we pay wages on time, plus Aunt Gu and my uncle, this manpower is almost enough for the time being."

Naturally, Wei Yun did not disagree.

And Aunt Huo who was appointed was even more excited. This was the first time that Dacheng asked her to discuss such an important matter. She could definitely choose it. Don't even try to get away with those who steal and play tricks.
