The History of Farming Struggle Through Time Traveling

A man in a green-brown cotton gown and a man in a purple cotton blouse and gray skirt trousers carried a small box of eggs into the South Village of Taoyuan Village with a smile. His long black hair was flowing and his face was delicate and handsome. Attention the working villagers.

When the villagers were wondering whose brother this was, they saw a white figure rushing up to him, and said with a smile, "Brother Shuo."

The brother in the green-brown gown smiled and replied, "Jiu'er, long time no see, you look brighter."

"Brother Shuo, you are making fun of me again, um, this is Yu'er!" Wang Jiuer smiled and looked at his handsome and immature brother.

Zhang Yu greeted shyly, "Hello Wang."

"Well, okay, okay, he is really a well-behaved and sensible brother, Brother Shuo, don't stand there, come in quickly."

Wang Shuo nodded with a smile. When he walked to Wang Jiuer's house, he didn't forget to pass the egg in his hand to the other party. Wang Jiuer looked at the egg and said a little unhappy: "Brother Shuo, come as soon as you come. What eggs do you want?"

"Etiquette must not be neglected, don't be gossiped about."

Wang Jiuer didn't want to take it, but the last gossip forced Wang Jiuer to take it, and at worst, he would send it back when he left.

After entering the room, Wang Shuo looked enviously at the spacious and bright blue tiles. Wang Jiu'er noticed the helplessness in his eyes and a sigh. He quickly pulled Wang Shuo to sit down, served the pastry, and said, "Brother Shuo, you will be fine." ,don’t worry."

Wang Shuo forced a smile, stared at the cakes on the table, and still couldn't help sighing, "Oh, Jiuer, you don't know, the life in the new village is getting worse and worse, and the food is decreasing every year. After a few rains, if there is another famine, I am afraid that Shangxin Village will probably disappear.”

"How can it be so serious? Although there are few fertile fields in Shangxin Village, it is not enough to..." Wang Jiuer exclaimed with a look of disbelief that they didn't even know that such a major event happened in the neighboring village, let alone his hometown.

In fact, Shangxin Village is supposed to have a better land environment than Taoyuan Village. There is only one hill within [-] meters, and the rest are flat land. The river is not too small, and it is the closest to Jinghe Town.

It stands to reason that such good conditions should not be too poor to afford food, but all these are excellent resources for the 21st century. For Jinxia, ​​a backward feudal country, this village can only be poor. too little.

"Forget it, I'm not here to talk about it today. What you told me is true."

Although Wang Jiu'er felt sorry for what happened to Wang Shuo, but he was just a brother with a heart and no power, so he could only change the subject with a smile: "Don't worry, I can still lie to you, it should be here, let's take a good look."

Before Wang Shuo had time to speak, a voice calling for Wang Jiuer came from outside, and then Wang Jiuer quickly went out to greet him, Wang Shuo pulled Zhang Yu up and stood aside, seeing the tall men and the elder brother beside Wang Jiuer who entered the door, he smiled slightly laugh.

Wang Jiu'er pulled Wang Shuo and introduced, "Brother Shuo, these two are Xu Wu's second and third brothers, and this is Xu Wu's third brother."

"Xu Er, Xu San, Brother Jiang, this is my good friend Wang Shuo, Brother Wang, and this is his brother, Zhang Yu."

The two sides greeted each other, and Jiang Yiming looked at Zhang Yu carefully. He was delicate and honest, but judging from his words and deeds, he was not the kind of honest and timid person.Jiang Yiming nodded in satisfaction, um, it's really good.

Jiang Yiming looked at Xu Yongxuan, then walked outside with a smile, and pulled the nervous Xu Yongnian in.When Wang Shuo saw Xu Yongnian, he looked good from the outside, and the politeness of the greeting satisfied Wang Shuo, and then he patted Zhang Yu's hand, Zhang Yu greeted shyly, and Xu Yongnian shyly returned the salute, causing Jiang Yiming to laugh A few times.

"Brother Wang, I hope you will forgive me for the sudden incident. You must have heard about our family." Xu Yongchun said.

Wang Shuo nodded, and Xu Yongxuan interjected: "The child's marriage is supposed to be decided by Dad and Ah Mo, but some people want to use Yongnian, this matter is definitely not approved by my elder brother, Brother Wang, the four here If there is no one to hire, I might as well just say, if you think Yongnian is a good kid, we will prepare to hire him immediately, and wait for Yongnian's birthday, and find an auspicious day to do it."

Wang Shuo was a little strange to be so direct to Xu Yongxuan, Wang Jiuer noticed that she quickly explained to Wang Shuo, she was very upset when she heard that her 19-year-old brother was going to marry Yongnian, of course this upset was for Yongnian's aunt, Liu Guihua.

Wang Shuo looked at Xu Yongnian and then at his blushing brother, probably he didn't need to say whether he was satisfied, but he still had to say something decent, "If the child agrees, neither my husband nor I object. "

This statement clearly means agreeing, the little Zhang Yu is already blushing, how can he disagree with this, Xu Yongchun nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, don't worry, if Yongnian betrays your brother Son, I won't let him go."

With Xu Yongchun's guarantee, Wang Shuo was completely relieved, and then chatted happily about the wedding.When everything was settled, Jiang Yiming took out 20 taels of silver from his pocket and put it in front of Wang Shuo, "This is half of the betrothal gift. We will pay the other 20 taels after the matchmaker comes to make an agreement."

20 taels of betrothal gift is already beyond expectations. Whether it is Shangxin Village, Taoyuan Village or even other villages, it is not bad to marry a brother or marry a brother. Now it is easy to come up with 20 taels, not to mention it is still a dowry gift. In half, everyone in the room was frightened, except Xu Yongxuan.

Although I talked about the dowry gift before, but Xu Yongchun thought it would be 15 taels at most, but Jiang Geer directly took out 20 taels, which was only half of the dowry gift, which shocked Xu Yongchun severely, and exclaimed: "Three Brother, this dowry..."

"This is too much dowry." Wang Shuo panicked and pushed the ten taels of silver. He knew that the ten taels of silver must be enough for their family's living expenses for a year. There is a green tile house, not to mention the 40 taels. Although Wang Shuo needs money, he knows the general situation and knows what he can and can't want.

Jiang Yiming smiled and pushed the money back, "How can the dowry that has already been given be returned, Brother Wang, if nothing happens, my two younger brothers will marry at the same time, and this wedding must not be disgraceful, so this 40 taels is not too much." And he still had his own considerations, and he didn't believe that Xu Daqiang's family could pay more than that if they were hired with 40 taels.

Although Wang Jiuer was taken aback by the 40 taels of dowry, but he also knew many reasons, and coupled with the situation of his friend's family, he did not stop him and persuaded him: "Brother Shuo, don't shirk, you agree, How can I shirk this betrothal gift?"

Wang Shuo was very worried and didn't dare to take the money. In the end, Wang Jiu'er handed the 20 taels to Wang Shuo. Wang Shuo sighed softly and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely let Yuer get married beautifully."

What Jiang Yiming wanted was this result. With the high dowry gift of 40 taels and the dowry of a beautiful marriage, he didn't believe that Liu Guihua could do anything to Yongning and Yongnian.

This party was not idle discussing, and Liu Guihua from the other party's family also happily said to her husband Xu Daqiang: "My cousin said that as long as Yongnian marries his brother, he will give us another 20 taels of silver. Also, my cousin’s family knew someone from a store in the town. He said that he had married a wife whose wife had been sick and had no children. The other party had always wanted to take another concubine. They said it was a dowry gift of 50 taels. If they gave birth to a son later, they would give another 50 taels immediately. , How can such a good thing be missed."

Xu Daqiang was okay when he heard about Xu Yongnian, but immediately became unhappy when he heard about Xu Yongning. After Liu Guihua finished speaking, he immediately cursed: "It's ridiculous, how can my child be a concubine for someone else."

Xu Yongchang didn't care about the marriages of his younger brothers, but when he heard the 100 taels, he was immediately tempted, and he flattered Xu Daqiang and said, "Father, you can't say that. Although Yongning married as a concubine, as long as the regular wife dies, Yongning If you have another son, you will not enjoy the glory and wealth, and you will have a chance to be a scholar at the official ceremony."

My husband has already spoken, how could Liu Yuanhua miss this opportunity, and continued to say good things with a smile, "Yes, father, I heard that this scholar will try in the future, but it will cost a lot of money!"

Liu Yuanhua had already determined that his son could be admitted to the scholar, so he had set his goal at the distant examination.Although Xu Daqiang has never read a book, he also knows that it takes a lot of money to go the official route, but it is always unpleasant for his own children to be concubines.

Liu Guihua was very satisfied after hearing Liu Yuanhua's words. His grandson is so smart, it is natural for him to be admitted to the scholar, so he is also planning the next examination for the scholar.

Seeing that her husband still disagreed, Liu Guihua said again with full confidence: "Daqiang, this is not a concubine all the time. I have already inquired about it. The main wife of the family is already terminally ill. Yongning went through the door and sat down." It's a matter of time before you become a real wife."

Liu Guihua has already started to fantasize about the picture of his child marrying into a rich family in the town and counting the money with the silver. If the smile on the corner of his mouth was caught by Jiang Yiming, he would probably vomit severely.In a word, I have seen disgusting things but never seen such disgusting ones.

Although Xu Zhengli didn't understand what the grown-ups said, but when he heard something that was good for his exam, he did his part to act like a good grandson to please Xu Daqiang, "Father, Zhengli will study hard to be a scholar. Teach those who look down on old daddy a good lesson, and vent your anger on old daddy."

Everyone who taught Xu Zhengli a lesson thought of Jiang Yiming, and now the reason why they were looked down upon by the villagers and laughed at them, and even broke up with each other, was all related to Jiang Yiming.They can't cure him now that they have no status, and they might not be able to cure him when their family has a scholar.

Xu Daqiang gently touched his grandson's face, smiled and said to Liu Guihua seriously: "This matter must be settled before it is done, don't make a joke."

With Xu Daqiang's consent, Liu Guihua was overjoyed, and nodded seriously: "Don't worry, this matter can't be decided, hmph, even if they are separated, they will still be my children. Parents should decide on marriage matters."

That's right, Xu Daqiang nodded in agreement, no matter how powerful Jiang Yiming and Xu Yongxuan were, they couldn't control Yongnian and Yongning's marriage, this was the common thought of Xu Daqiang's family.

However, there is a good saying, don't jump to conclusions too early, who knows what will happen in the future, if your mouth is too big, be careful not to get hit.

Both sides have their own plans for the marriage of Xu Yongnian and Xu Yongning, but one is for profit and the other is for love.

Liu Guihua acted quickly and kept running to Liujia Village. This behavior quickly attracted Xu Xiaolin's attention.

Ever since Liu Guihua slapped him, Xu Xiaolin has been displeased with Xu Daqiang and Liu Guihua's family, and has been paying attention to Liu Guihua's every move anytime, anywhere.

Seeing Liu Guihua leaving at the entrance of the village with a smile and chatting happily with people, Xu Xiaolin approached the people from the village with a curious and ingratiating look.

"Brother, eat a piece of cake made by me! It's just out of the oven."

The other party was surprised that Xu Xiaolin was so enthusiastic, so he didn't make a move.

Xu Xiaolin smiled and went forward to hand the cake to the other party, and said: "I am friends with Brother Liu. Seeing that he has been happy recently, I think there must be something good about his family, but he didn't tell me. Hmph, it’s so rare that I didn’t give him a cake when I made a cake, it made him mad.”

Seeing the resentment on Xu Xiaolin's face, the brother from the outer village couldn't help laughing a few times. He didn't doubt whether Xu Xiaolin was Liu Guihua's friend, and joked, "Don't be angry, he probably wanted to give you a surprise. In fact, this It's nothing, he wants to say goodbye to his two children."
