cool summer [farming]

Touching the heads of the three children pityingly, Fu Juyan thought about it and said, "We're going to the county to buy some things, do you have anything you want?"

The children's eyes widened. They never knew that adults could bring them something when they went to the county. Sister Cui shook her head quickly, "No, we don't want anything." Wei Qingning also shook his head, and Ge Ziming's eyes He opened his eyes wide and looked up at his aunt without opening his mouth. The longing look in those small eyes was fleeting.

Fu Juyan squatted down and rubbed his little face, "What does Brother Ming want? Don't lower your head, tell me what you want?"

The little guy was so nervous, he glanced at his sister next to him, and finally mustered up the courage to mutter: "Auntie, can you buy a piece of saponin for my sister? Sister, I always get scolded by my third aunt if I can't wash my clothes clean."

Sister Cui quickly raised her head to look at Fu Juyan, and said anxiously: "Auntie, don't listen to Brother Ming, I will wash it off with a little effort, and there is no need for saponins."

Yang Qiaorong, who wanted to come over to reprimand Brother Ming, stopped and looked at her two sons and daughters, her nose was sore, and Ge Zhengxiu in the yard also tensed up.

Feeling depressed, Fu Juyan said forcefully, "Don't change the subject, I'm asking you what you want, just tell me. It's not a shameful thing to express your demands and desires to others, especially to the elders. Poor ambitions can’t be short, what you want, think it over and tell me.”

The three children lined up in a row with their heads down, and Fu Juyan just looked at them quietly.

They obviously didn't say anything, but it made them feel uneasy, so Sister Cui whispered: "Auntie, can I have a piece of saponin?"

Brother Ming was nervous and entangled, and it took a long time before he said: "I, I want... delicious food." He seemed to feel too embarrassed, and immediately lowered his head after speaking.

Fu Juyan just smiled and patted his head again, looking at Wei Qingning who had never said a word, "Brother Ning, what about you?"

This child is too reserved, maybe it is his nature.

Wei Qingning clenched his fists, his face turned blue and white when his father looked at him like this, he thought that his father didn't like him very much, and his father didn't usually talk to him, so the aunt asked him to do more for him. Little dad will take care of him, but he always likes to be alone. When dad is sick, he will watch over him when he is free. When dad wakes up, he dare not go over to him. Yesterday, my aunt called He greeted Xiao Dae, but he didn't dare, but Xiao Dae would suddenly talk to him, and worried that his hands would be burned...

However, he still didn't dare to tell his little dad, "Little dad, I, I don't want it."

Fu Juyan took the child into his arms and said, "Well, Brother Ning is very sensible, but I've been here for so many days, so I'm supposed to give you some gifts. ?" Wei Qingning was held in the arms of the little daddy, her face flushed red, she was at a loss, she didn't hear what the little dad was saying, and subconsciously said "hmm".

"Then what does Brother Ning want?"

Brother Ming next to him let go of his restraint at the beginning, and hurriedly replied: "Auntie, Ge Xiaopang's father bought him a book yesterday, and Brother Ning secretly read it for a while."

Brother Ning turned pale, "Brother Ming!"

Fu Juyan smiled, "It's nothing, it's just rude to touch other people's things without permission, don't do it next time."

Brother Ning heaved a sigh of relief, but was a little disappointed, "Mmm."

Yang Qiaorong blamed: "The children are ignorant, just listen to Brother Yan, don't worry about them."

"It's okay, it's not a big thing, it's not worth a lot of money." Yang Qiaorong didn't know where Fu Juyan came from so loudly, and hesitantly glanced at Ge Zhengxiu who had been silent in the yard, and didn't ask any more questions.

Several people chatted for a while, before the others got up, Fu Juyan went out the door and walked towards Wang Dashi's house.

There were not many people on the road, so I met a few occasionally and said hello to Ge Zhengxiu, and Ge Zhengxiu responded one by one.Fu Juyan only cared about walking beside the man, and would smile when he met someone who greeted him.But the villagers who greeted him were stunned, and they glanced at him several times in strange and surprised.

Ge Zhengxiu seemed to have noticed it, so he told him about the situation in the village as he walked. The original owner had been here for a month and basically hadn't been out of the house. He didn't know the daily life of these neighbors, and Fu Juyan was happy for him to talk about it.

Fu Juyan learned from Ge Zhengxiu here that the reason why Banshan Village is called Banshan Village is because in the past, there were mountains in the northeast of the village. From a distance, it seemed to surround half of the village. Now because the size of the village has decreased It is quite big, and the mountains only occupy a small part of the northeast direction, but the name of Banshan Village has been left like this.

Banshan Village currently has a population of [-] households, which is considered a large village. Dongling continues the tradition of setting up one mile for [-] households and one village head for every five miles. However, due to many complicated problems, the village head system was basically abolished, so In fact, Lizheng's position has been aggravated, especially in Banshan Village, which used to be surrounded by mountains, where family and surname in-laws are intertwined and integrated into one. It is obviously unrealistic to have three Lizhengs in the village.Banshan Village only had one Li Zheng, just like other villages in many places.

This situation is actually related to the economic development of the Tangling Kingdom itself. Due to the hard work of several generations of emperors, the diligence of the people, and the vigorous development of commerce, the population of the Dongling Kingdom has almost doubled that of the previous dynasty. The population of the village is only a hundred households, and the previous "one hundred households per mile" system is obviously no longer applicable.The local county magistrate is also very happy to see the current situation of one Lizheng in one village. After all, Lizheng's increased responsibilities mean that their workload is reduced.

Banshan Village is occupied by members of the Ge clan. In addition to the Ge clan, there are two other families, the Zhao clan and the Wang clan. The Wang family is not a member of the Wang family in the village.

Wang Dashi's house is in the northernmost part of the village. There are very few residents here, and there are mountains in the back, making it look a bit deserted. Fu Juyan was thinking about the situation in the half-mountain village and what to do to make money. When the bulging paper bag came, he looked up suspiciously, and saw that the man handed him an oiled paper bag, "What?"

"Roast suckling pork, roasted on the mountain, a bit cold." This kind of food is very nourishing for the body.

Fu Juyan was stunned for a moment. In the original owner's memory, similar scenes seemed to have happened before, because the Ge family members were not easy to get along with. Ge Zhengxiu would secretly bring him something to eat when he went out occasionally. They were all meat. Now that I think about it, I guess it was brought back after secretly hunting and roasting up the mountain.

The original owner had been surprisingly thin since he came to Ge's house, and he was severely malnourished at first glance, so it was difficult for the man in front of him to take care of him like this.

Thinking of this, Ge Zhengxiu suddenly felt a little envious, not the original owner, but the ancient matchmaker's words, which carried the ordinary life together.But envy is envy, let him choose, without feelings, he absolutely cannot accept it.He is not the original owner, no matter what this man thinks, he can only be sorry.But he will compensate him with something else.

But he didn't refuse the cold barbecue, and ate it bit by bit.

All the way in silence, soon arrived at Wang Dashi's house.

As soon as he entered Wang Dashi's house, Fu Juyan understood why Wang Dashi had served in the military. Wang Dashi's house was a big place, but the house was dilapidated, comparable to their thatched cottages.There is only a mother who has been widowed for many years in the family. Her legs and feet are bad, and she often has to spend money on medicine. Speaking of military pay, it is estimated that Wang Dashi is also desperate, so he wants to take the money in exchange for his life.

Fu Juyan slandered, these two people are really brothers and sisters.

Besides Wang Dashi, there were a few young people standing in the yard, who seemed to have arrived not long ago, and they were all the ones who went up the mountain with Ge Zhengxiu this time. They were all tall and powerful.

When everyone saw the people around Ge Zhengxiu, they were taken aback for a moment, and when they realized it, they all smiled and nodded. Brothers don't have as many rules as women, and they usually don't get talked about when they meet foreigners. Instead, they talk to women. If there is any inappropriate behavior between them, they will be discussed.For this, Fu Juyan thought, it might have something to do with his brother's man's appearance.

Everyone was very friendly, and a few came up to greet Fu Juyan. They were all from the same village, and the news about the Ge family had already spread.

A man named Ge Fei walked up to Ge Zhengxiu and called out, "Brother Zhengxiu", but he said to Fu Juyan, "Sister-in-law, Xiaoyun wronged you that day, and she should have come to you in person. I apologized, but I never had the chance. You and brother Zhengxiu took my share today, and treated it as an apology for my sister and me, and also to make up for my sister-in-law. I will call Xiaoyun to apologize to you later. "

It turned out that this was the elder brother of the rightful owner who killed the original owner. Fu Juyan reacted and glanced at Ge Zhengxiu. The man looked calm and seemed to be waiting for his reply. He smiled heartily at Ge Fei, "This matter No wonder, uh, Xiaoyun, I was dazed at the time, you should take back your things, it’s not easy for everyone to get these things.”

Granny Ge offended two groups of people when she opened her mouth. The original owner was able to hit the wall because of this matter, and Ge Xiaoyun's family probably couldn't bear it much.Although the original owner was not at fault at all, after all, he had a close relationship with Mrs. Ge, and Ge Fei's attitude was really sincere.

He refused, but Ge Fei didn't agree with anything, so Fu Juyan had no choice but to accept, thinking that Ge Fei has a good character, he can distinguish right from wrong, and he is open-minded.

Wang Dashi is rough and impatient, seeing them talking non-stop, he couldn't wait, "Xiaofei, don't stop Zhengxiu from them, come quickly and check things."

At this time, Aunt Wang, who was busy cooking in the kitchen, also came out slowly, she was also taken aback when she saw Fu Juyan, and said with a smile: "Is Zhengxiu's health better?"

Fu Juyan was helpless, and smiled: "Ma'am, I'm much better."

"Hey, that's good, that's good, Zhengxiu is good, you two have a good time." Fu Juyan didn't speak, and Ge Zhengxiu's eyes flashed.

Wang Dashi said: "Mother, hurry back to the house and rest, I'll make the meal later." Then he greeted a few people, "Everyone hastened to count and go back to eat." It's not that he didn't invite everyone to eat, because there was really nothing to entertain, The food in my family is not as good as other people usually eat, and the few people are familiar with each other, so it is rude.

Several people gathered around, saying they were counting, but in fact, someone wanted to take the game home, so they came and picked it, and the rest were for sale.Ge Zhengxiu took two pheasants, Wang Dashi did the same, Ge Fei only picked a hare, and the rest Yu Ping took a pheasant and a hare. When dealing with individuals, they are all people who know the rules and know how to measure.

Put aside the hares and pheasants you wanted, and the rest, when you go to the county to change the silver, will be divided according to the agreed number of shares. Ge Zhengxiu and Wang Dashi contributed a lot, and they divided six shares, three for each. Ge Fei and Yu Ping each have two copies.Because Ge Fei gave Fu Juyan the share, so Ge ​​Zhengxiu got five shares, and no one objected.
