Fu second generation upgrade system

Aunt Cui saw Tang Yi at a glance, and when she saw him carrying big and small bags into the car, she narrowed her eyes and immediately made a plan.

"Tang Yi", Aunt Cui called: "Come, sit inside, there is room here."

Tang Yi responded, moved his things and went in. Although there are various taboos between men and women here, it is not so particular for a 20-year-old youth to sit with a 50-year-old aunt.

Aunt Cui saw that Tang Yi is now a good-looking talent, and his body is much stronger, and she was happy. Looking at his bags and bags, she knew that the recent rumors in the village were true.

"I said Tang Yi, what did you buy?" Aunt Cui asked.

Tang Yi replied: "Some flour and cotton, take them back and make quilts."

Aunt Cui wiped the small bag containing noodles, and saw a fine piece, she was surprised: "It's white noodles?"

Tang Yi laughed: "Yeah, buy some and go back to satisfy your greed."

Aunt Cui had some calculations in her heart. This Tang Yi was really capable. In just a few days, he was already eating white noodles. With such living conditions, he was quite good in the village.As soon as she rolled her eyes, she analyzed that Tang Yi had earned money by settling accounts for others. Being able to settle accounts is a great skill, and her status in the village was immediately raised. I don't know how many girls are jealous at the moment.

But Aunt Cui was used to being a matchmaker after all, so she could hold her breath, and didn't say this all at once, but grabbed Tang Yi and chatted about other things, and learned a lot about Tang Yi's temperament and so on.

The bullock cart creaked and arrived at the entrance of the village. Tang Yi and Aunt Cui got out of the car. As soon as they entered the village, they found something was wrong. The villagers seemed to have something to do, and hurriedly ran towards the village in one direction.

Tang Yi and Aunt Cui looked at each other, and Aunt Cui called, "Oops, something happened in the village, go and have a look."

Tang Yi nodded, and ran away carrying the burden.Running, Tang Yi found that everyone was running towards his house, and his heart tightened. After someone came to make irresponsible remarks a few days ago, Tang Yi was afraid that Wen Yan would encounter some trouble again.

In the end, he stopped in the yard next door to him, heaving a sigh of relief, luckily it wasn't his family's, but his heart quickly became agitated.

Because he saw the Song family next door crying loudly around a broken straw mat in the yard. The straw mat covered a person, whose appearance was not clear, only half of his arm was exposed, thin, like a girl.

Tang Yi has very little impression of the Song family. This part of his memory is missing. He only knows that he will say hello to the Song family when he meets the Song family every day when he goes to work or when he comes back. It seems that he is a poor and honest family. , because Tang Yi is very busy every day, leaving early and returning late to support his family, so there is no need to gossip about his neighbors.

Aunt Cui saw the way, and whispered to the people around, and then whispered to Tang Yi: "It's Song Chun, the eldest daughter of the Song family. The Song family couldn't pay taxes and grains the year before last, so they sold the eldest daughter to the county people to make money. When I was young, I heard that the family had a bad character, and Song Chun was often beaten in the past, so it seems that something happened to him."

Tang Yi asked in a low voice: "Why didn't you report to the official?"

Aunt Cui cut it, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and whispered to Tang Yi: "If you sign the contract of selling yourself, your life belongs to others, and the government won't care about it."

Tang Yi frowned: "Then he died in vain?"

Aunt Cui spread her hands together: "Otherwise?"

Tang Yi has a new understanding of the cruelty and backwardness of this world. Apart from customs and habits, it is the first time he has come to realize the difference between the two worlds so deeply. Human life here is cheap. Of course, it is only for the common people, the poor are not qualified to speak, they can only be slaughtered, a piece of paper, it is clearly written that life and death are people's people, so they completely handed over themselves People, let mermaid meat.

A sadness spread from the bottom of Tang Yi's heart. He had never felt such a sense of powerlessness. He suddenly thought that if one day powerful people robbed him, or robbed Wen Yan, he would have no power to resist .It's not that Tang Yi is a wimp, but that he can't beat the system, and no matter how awesome he is, he must be within the system.

Just as he was thinking, the corner of his clothes was ripped, Tang Yi turned his head and saw Wen Yan carrying a chicken cage.

"Why are you here?" Tang Yi asked.

Wen Yan said in a low voice: "Brother's chickens are here, sister-in-law asked me to catch a few, and I heard about it when I came back."

Tang Yi saw five chirping chickens, and remembered that he had told Tang Shi that he wanted to raise a few chickens when he was at the pier, so that it would be convenient to eat eggs in the future. Just book it for him.

Tang Yi asked in a low voice: "Did you give me money?"

Wen Yan nodded.

Tang Yi stopped talking, there was nothing to see here, Li Zheng had already come, comforted the Song family, and then called on the villagers who were able to donate a penny or two to help the Song family with the funeral.

Tang Yi touched five Wen coins from his arms and sent them over. The Song family kowtowed to him. commotion.Everyone doesn't say anything on the surface, but they all have opinions in their hearts.

Aunt Cui's eyes rolled straight, and she got two important messages. The first is that Tang Yi spends money generously, and the second is that he asked Wen Yan to spend money.These two points are very important for women who want to marry. Who doesn't want their man to be generous and let him spend money!

Wen Yan is a little brother who is not easy to give birth to. Tang Yi is living his life again. Anyone in the village who is going through life is not looking forward to marrying a girl. Marry the little brother first, and then marry a girl after living a good life. What's more, Tang Yi has the ability to settle accounts. As long as he doesn't mess around, his life may be better than ordinary people in the future. Therefore, it's not that there are no girls in the village staring at his house.

Aunt Cui was thinking about it here, but Tang Yi was full of worries after returning home with Wen Yan.

Wen Yan put the chicken in the hut where the sundries were kept. It was still a bit cold at this time, so the chicken couldn't be put in the yard.Then I went to see what Tang Yi bought, and exclaimed: "White noodles, and cotton cloth!"

Tang Yi responded casually, and Wen Yan felt that his mood was not right, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Tang Yi was silent for a while, and said, "Ayan, how much tax do we have to pay every year?"

Wen Yan blinked, realizing that Tang Yi didn't understand these things, and said, "We use head count here. In a family, the man needs to pay five dans of grain and two bolts of cloth every year. The younger brother and the female It’s three dans of grain, one bolt of cloth, and children under the age of 15 don’t have to pay taxes.”

Tang Yi did the math, and he and Wen Yan needed to pay more than 800 catties of grain and three bolts of cloth, which is indeed not a small amount. He asked Wen Yan how much land his family had, and Wen Yan said a little embarrassedly: "So you have Ten acres of land, this is the number for men here, and five acres for the younger brothers and girls, but I am from another village, and... have no heirs, so according to the rules, there is no land .”

Tang Yi: "..."

Ten acres of land!My God, isn't that a small farm? !

Tang Yi wondered: "Ten acres of land, how much food will be produced, how can the Song family not be able to pay taxes?"

Wen Yan said: "The men of the Song family are from the same village, and the sister-in-law of the Song family is from out of town like me. These years, she gave birth to a son, two girls and a younger brother. The son went out in the early years and never came back, so he was not assigned to the place. , their family has only fifteen acres of land, but it is very difficult to pay taxes for three adults, not to mention the need to pay cloth, which is really expensive."

Tang Yi frowned, what kind of broken rules are these? It's fine if you don't have a son and don't give the land, but the tax payment has not been left behind. What's the reason for this?

I chatted with Wen Yan for a few more words, and learned that they are all like this. In the past, Tang Yi didn't plant the land, and the elder brother helped to plant the land, and the elder brother paid the taxes, so the burden on the elder was very heavy, and he also It can be seen that this big brother is really kind to his younger brother.

After asking about the tax, Tang Yi asked about the deed of sale. Wen Yan said that after signing the deed of sale, he would be selling himself into slavery. From now on, he would die or live. The good and the bad are all decided by the master, and he has no right to make decisions on his own. , so the fate of most servants is not good.

Tang Yi wrung his hands, frowning so much that he could kill a fly. Seeing that his complexion was not good, Wen Yan felt a little uneasy, and sat obediently by the side waiting for him to speak.

After a while, Tang Yi opened his mouth sullenly, and said unwillingly: "A Yan, I don't want to live like this."

Wen Yan was startled, he didn't want to live such a good life now, so what did he want to do?

"Poverty," Tang Yi swallowed, and said hoarsely, "I have nothing, and I can't even decide my own destiny."

"I do not like."

Wen Yan sighed, and said, "Isn't everyone living like this, and you're not an official, how can you get so much power?"

And life at this time is already very good for Wen Yan. Look, Tang Yi also bought white noodles. How can ordinary people eat white noodles during the Chinese New Year?

Tang Yi couldn't wake up Tang Yi with a word, and Tang Yi stared at Wen Yan with burning eyes, until Wen Yan became a little scared, and then said: "You are right, to be an official, if you are not willing to be an official, you can only be an official. Why didn't I expect that?" Well, I can take the imperial examination!"

Wen Yan was taken aback. This person must be confused. How can one be an official? Is it that easy to take the imperial examination?

"You..." Wen Yan asked cautiously, "Are you serious?"

Tang Yi nodded firmly: "That's right, I only wanted to read and do clerical work to support my family, but now it seems that literacy alone is not enough. I still have to study and do essay exams. At least With fame and fame, you will be able to live a little more freely."

Wen Yan was very conflicted, biting his lips again and again, almost torn apart, Tang Yi looked strange, why did this guy have such a big reaction?

After a while, I heard Wen Yan let out a long sigh, and said in a heavy tone: "Oh, well, if you want to study, I will work hard for you, but the family has to be tight, I will go tomorrow Ask someone who is recruiting, you have to save some money early."

Tang Yi was dumbfounded. He never expected Wen Yan to have such an idea. He couldn't help laughing, and said, "What are you thinking about in your little head? Why do I use your supply? Can't I make money myself?"

Wen Yanqi said: "Scholars don't earn their own money, don't they all come from their families?"

Tang Yi squinted his eyes, tsk, when are we not going to mention some things now, he raised a smirk at the corner of his mouth, bent slightly, put his face in front of Wen Yan, and asked jokingly: "You mean, You want to be my family?"

Wen Yan was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red, yes, why did Tang Yi say that he wanted to study, so he naturally thought that he was going to confess to him, obviously people said that it was only this month, and he would go after one month Feel free to...

But I was automatically brought into the role of Tang Yi's family members, this... this is really embarrassing, okay!

Seeing the young man blushing like a burning cloud, hesitating and speechless, his head was almost lowered to the ground, Tang Yi couldn't help being in a good mood, Young Master Tang's hooliganism came out, and he leaned closer Now, the bewitching voice asked slowly and lowly: "Who does Ah Yan want to be in my family?"

Wen Yan: "!!!" Stop talking about it, it will blow up into a firework!

Tang Yi clicked his tongue twice, and bent his eyes to look at Wen Yan. This kid is pure, and he feels that he is a good person after only a few days of full food, so he won't run away. He wants to live with him, and he is happy and happy It's sour, the happy one is that the boy will basically not leave, the astringent one is that the young man is really pitiful, he has never tasted honey, he just thinks that clear water is sweet.

Seeing that if he said one more sentence, Wen Yan might hide his face and run away, Tang Yi didn't force him anymore, and took out the small bag of dried apricots from his arms and handed it over: "Taste it."

Wen Yan blushed and took it in a daze, opened it, and was pleasantly surprised: "It's candied fruit! How did you buy this thing? It's so expensive, and you're not very hungry!"

Tang Yi hummed: "I haven't said I want you to stay, so I started to be a housekeeper?"

Wen Yan was taken aback for a moment, raised his deer-like eyes, and then lowered them, a little worried and a little disappointed, yes, they didn't say they would keep him, so what is he doing blindly here?

Seeing that the young man stopped talking again, Tang Yi pursed his lips into a thin line, shook his head with a smile, and took out more than 200 Wen coins tied with straw ropes from his arms.

"Since we want to take care of it, we should study the way of housekeeping, but there is one thing, you can't deduct my pocket money."

Wen Yan raised his head suddenly, met Tang Yi's smiling eyes inconceivably, his heart pounding wildly, he took the money excitedly, his fingertips were trembling, and then blushed again, turned his head and ran away The back room has saved money.

Tang Yi was in a good mood, and the haze brought about by the Song family's affairs all disappeared. The young man saved money in it for a long time, and when he came out, his eyes were red. Tang Yi didn't expose him, he just smiled and said: "Go and get the big brother Call me, sister-in-law, and have dumplings at our house tonight."

When Wen Yan heard that he had eaten the dumplings, he became even happier, and ran out with a clear answer.
