The Only Favorite Ugly Husband

Holding a knife, Jiang Zhen left the gate of Jiang's house.

In Hecheng County, most families eat three meals a day. Of course, poor families can only eat two meals.

Everyone wakes up at dawn in the morning, does some work first, and then eats the first meal of the day at about seven o'clock.The farmers' families basically eat porridge for this meal, but of course the rich people can eat it in different ways.

After eating, they will continue to work. When it is almost noon, that is, when it is almost noon, they will have a second meal. Families with enough basic food will eat dry rice for this meal. If there is not enough food, they can only eat Continue to drink porridge.

And in the evening, everyone will have another meal. Most of the peasant families will eat porridge the same as the morning meal.

Although they eat three meals a day, the most serious meal is the noon meal, and what the Jiang family ate just now was the noon meal.

Because we were very busy yesterday, the Jiang family ate their first meal much later than usual, and because they ate the dry rice that was cooked for guests yesterday, they were very hungry, so the second meal was also postponed. After eating for an hour, Jiang Zhen looked at the sky and knew that it was probably past one or two.

It has been a day and a night since I woke up, and I have eaten well and rested well. Jiang Zhen has gained some strength, and now he is not tired at all carrying a big knife that weighs about ten kilograms, but his body is very sore after lying down for a long time.

The wind in early spring is a bit cold, but this body is probably used to being frozen, but it has adapted well... Jiang Zhen flipped through Boss Jiang's memory, observed the surrounding situation again and again, and began to understand the world.

This place is a plain, and as far as the eye can see, Jiang Zhen only saw a small hill that is not high at all. At the same time, there are many people and many rivers here.

Although the "Da Qi" dynasty that Jiang Zhen is familiar with has not existed in history, the environment here is similar to the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River in ancient China.

This Hexi Village not only has a river, but also several ponds. The river is full of vegetables such as lettuce, and at a distance of 300 meters, the houses are scattered one by one. They are the villagers of Hexi Village. residence.

The sun was shining right now, and on the stone steps by the river, a few women were washing vegetables or doing laundry, talking while washing.

They saw Jiang Zhen walking by the river, but no one planned to say hello to Boss Jiang, who was always silent. When they saw Jiang Zhen holding a big knife, they only asked the people around him: "Boss Jiang is holding a knife?" , which family wants to kill pigs?”

"I haven't heard of it."

"I'll follow up and have a look. If someone kills a pig, I'll weigh a pound of it."

……

The women said a few words, and someone followed Jiang Zhen. However, Jiang Zhen didn't go to kill the pig, but turned a corner and came to the thatched hut belonging to the Jiang family where he had been lying before.

The thatched hut was a bit far from the houses in the village, so when the Jiang family got rich, they moved away, leaving only straw and bundles of mulberry sticks in the house.

Apart from the fact that the house is too dilapidated, Jiang Zhen quite likes it here, at least it is quiet, and he can see Zhao's house from a distance.

After carrying a bundle of straw from the house to the door, Jiang Zhen sat down and put the knife beside him.

Sitting dryly was quite boring. After thinking about it, Jiang Zhen found another bundle of mulberry sticks and began to peel the mulberry sticks.

In order to make the leaves of the mulberry tree more and bigger and easy to pick, the families who raise silkworms and grow mulberry trees cut off all the branches of the mulberry tree every year.After the skins of these branches are peeled off, someone will buy them for a few copper coins, and the finger-thick wooden poles in the middle are used to make fire and cook like straw.

The former Boss Jiang didn't know what the mulberry strips were collected for, but Jiang Zhen could guess—the mulberry strips were mostly used for papermaking.

In ancient times, if he could make paper, he would have a means of earning a living. However... Jiang Zhen's understanding of papermaking is limited to what the teacher said when he was studying the four great inventions in history class, and what he occasionally read when he read books. A few words of explanation, but he doesn't know the specifics, not to mention, he is poor and has no capital.

How will I support myself in the future?To butcher a pig?

In the past, Boss Jiang worked with Old Man Jiang and learned how to butcher pigs. The pig butcher was also responsible for dirty work such as turning pig intestines.There is no technical content in these jobs, and Jiang Zhen learned it by flipping through his memory, but he also knows that it is difficult to live a good life relying on this alone.

Forget it, the big deal is to work as a long-term worker for others first. Isn't Brother Zhao Jing living by being a long-term worker for others?

Jiang Zhen peeled a pile of mulberry strips slowly, and was about to walk around when he saw Zhao Jinge walking by the road in front of his door.

"Brother Zhao Jin!" Jiang Zhen shouted and stood up.

Brother Zhao Jin looked at Jiang Zhen in surprise, and walked towards Jiang Zhen, but stopped a few steps away: "What's the matter?"

After asking, he said again: "Boss Jiang, how is your health?"

"I'm fine, thank you yesterday." Jiang Zhen said, took out two eggs and handed them to Brother Zhao Jin: "Here you are."

"I can't take your eggs. A bowl of sweet potato porridge is worthless." Zhao Jinge immediately refused. His family didn't have any extra food to raise chickens. Things like eggs were very precious to him.

"This egg is not used to repay the sweet potato porridge, but to repay your life-saving grace. Isn't my life worth two eggs?" Jiang Zhen wanted to stuff the egg to Brother Zhao Jin.

Brother Zhao Jin dodged subconsciously, paused, and then said: "You save yourself to make up your body..."

"I have some more here, look." Jiang Zhen took out three more eggs and showed them to Brother Zhao Jin.

Brother Zhao Jin looked at Jiang Zhen in surprise. He also knew that Boss Jiang had been treated badly by his parents. Where did this man get the five eggs now?

"You saved me once yesterday, and you saved me from the river once before, so you can't help but let me repay you." Jiang Zhen grabbed Zhao Jinge's hand and forced two eggs to him.

Butcher Jiang is very tall, Boss Jiang is considered tall in this village, and Brother Zhao Jin is about the same height as him, with big hands that can easily hold two eggs.

Jiang Zhen grasped this very rough hand, and suddenly felt a little distracted, but before he could figure out his mood, Brother Zhao Jin had already thrown his hand away.

Jiang Zhen raised his head, and saw Zhao Jinge mumbled "Thank you" and left without looking back.

Originally, he wanted to say a few more words to Brother Zhao Jing. Jiang Zhen was a little taken aback, but soon realized... Brother Zhao Jin seemed to be shy just now?

After blowing a whistle, Jiang Zhen hid the remaining three eggs in the thatched cottage, planning to give them to Brother Zhao Jing tomorrow.

He had already eaten two chicken legs this day, and he probably wouldn't be able to absorb it no matter how much he ate, so he might as well use eggs to strike up a conversation with Brother Zhao Jin.

And... the body of Boss Jiang he used is a little short and needs to be taken care of, so why not Brother Zhao Jin's body?The Zhao family has no land and has been short of food. Brother Zhao Jing used to do part-time jobs everywhere, but he was ordered by the master's family. His health is not much better than Boss Jiang.

After seeing the savior, Jiang Zhen picked up the knife and walked to Jiang's house, intending to go back and wait for dinner.

Brother Zhao Jin had already returned to his home at this time, holding two eggs, his expression was a bit unnatural.

He once saw a good-looking female brother in the village being given eggs and things by his admirers, but he grew up so big, no one gave him a gift...

However, Boss Jiang's delivery of eggs must be different from those people. He is no different from a man now, and others regard him as a man.

"Brother Jin, are you back?" Zhao Liushi smiled when he saw his son.

"Yeah." Brother Zhao Jin responded and gave her the egg: "Yesterday I gave Boss Jiang a bowl of porridge, and he gave me two eggs."

"How can a bowl of porridge be worth two eggs? Return it quickly." Zhao Liu felt that the eggs should not be taken.

"He also said that he would like to thank me for saving him." Brother Zhao Jin said again.

Speaking of this, Zhao Liushi felt that taking eggs was nothing: "Yes, he should thank you. If it weren't for our brother Jin, he would have been drowned." Zhao Liushi said Thinking of how Jiang's family didn't even say thank you that day, they felt a little dissatisfied: "Although Boss Jiang didn't say a word all day, he was still sensible, his mother was too much, brother Jin, you saved me that day." Boss Jiang, she didn't even know how to say thank you."

"That's nothing." Brother Zhao Jin said, when he saw Boss Jiang drowning, he thought of his elder brother who drowned, so he went into the water to save people without thinking about it, but he didn't plan to ask for anything in return.

"It's nothing, you saved someone's life. If it was in the drama, he should promise you with his body." Zhao Liushi said.

"Mother." Brother Zhao Jin interrupted his mother's words, how could anyone want to promise him with his body?

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhao and Liu sighed again. Ever since Brother Jin dug out the beads between his eyebrows, the people in the village actually regarded Brother Jin as a man. He rescued his twin from the water. A big man came up, and no one thought it was wrong.

It would be great if Boss Jiang could marry into their house. Although he doesn’t like to talk, he is honest and willing to work. up.

She knew that Mrs. Jiang wanted to keep Boss Jiang at home to work, but as an outsider, she couldn't say anything.

Zhao Liushi filled a bowl of porridge with some disappointment, peeled an egg and put it in, and served it to Brother Zhao Jin.

"Mom, you eat this porridge, you are not in good health, you should eat a few eggs to make up for it." Zhao Jinge said, and cut open the remaining egg with a knife: "Daddy and I can eat half of it. "

Zhao Liu couldn't compete with his son, so he ate the egg, and Zhao Jinge also cherished his own half of the egg.

While eating the eggs, he inevitably thought of Boss Jiang, and then felt something was wrong.

Today's Boss Jiang speaks generously and clearly, and keeps his head up and his back straight. Compared with before, he seems to be a different person.
