Vicious cannon fodder loves farming

"We didn't discuss this matter with my mother before. First, we don't want you to worry about it. Second, we want to surprise you."

Yao Yan said with a grin.

"Surprise?" Mother Yao raised her eyebrows, she was surprised, where did the joy come from?

"Why hasn't there been a school in the village for so many years? One is that the village can't afford money to build a school, so they can only make do with the ancestral hall. Second, the old children are getting older and lack energy."

Yao Yan nodded, "We didn't have the idea of ​​building a school before. Isn't this a new boy? The old boy is still a teacher, but he will teach fewer children and be more relaxed. In general, we If you build a house, you and grandma can live there without worry, if others dare to gossip, then let the young master talk to the village head about the conditions for entering the school."

These words are a bit threatening, but I have to say that they are really useful.

Needless to say, Zeng Xingzhi, when the village chief held the village meeting the next day, he said where the money for the Qingjian school came from, and then he talked about the gossip women in the village and how they entered the school.

"If being a parent is so terrible, how can the children who are brought up be better? I will put the words here. If you listen to some foul language and find out where it comes from, then Don't even think about children going to school!"

The guilty people immediately turned pale, and when the men in charge of their own families looked over, they were as cowardly as quails, not to mention that they were warned by the men in the family after they returned home.

Grumpy, even moved his hands.

"In addition, the fifth son of the Sun family is addicted to gambling, and all the debt collectors have come to the village! It's not good to say that you have lost your limbs, and you even stole Uncle Li's chicken..."

The next thing is to criticize the troubles caused by the gangsters in the village.

After Zeng Xingzhi and Yao Yan finished listening to the village meeting, they headed home. Grandma Sun and the other women approached cautiously, "Dr. Zeng, we were the ones who were mean-spirited before, and I hope that Dr. Zeng's forgiveness will never happen again! "

"Yes, Doctor Zeng, we know we were wrong."

Zeng Xingzhi looked at them with his hands behind his back, "Hard words hurt people, don't arrange others behind their backs from now on."

"Yes, yes, Doctor Xie Zeng."

Mrs. Sun is the most afraid. There are several grandchildren in her family who are ready to be enlightened. Because of Sun Lao Wu, the family has been separated.

All houses want to send their grandsons to study. After all, Shu Xiu in this school only costs [-] Wen a year, which is more than twice as cheap as that in the neighboring village.

For the sake of the grandchildren, Mrs. Sun did not have to be urged by her son and daughter-in-law, but she rushed to admit her mistake.

When he got home, Yao Yan propped up his chin and looked at Zeng Xingzhi who had brought out medical books to read, "My lord, they are actually right, we do have an affair."

Hearing this, Zeng Xingzhi naturally understood what Yao Yan was thinking, "It's not this that's wrong, it's their nonsense telling stories, like Uncle Zhang and Hu Sanniang, they are clearly innocent, but Mrs. Sun and others just talk nonsense about our affairs When it comes to others, the relationship between Uncle Hu and Uncle Zhang has faded during this time."

Yao Yan had heard about this.

After all, when Uncle Hu’s son got married, he still went to Uncle Zhang’s house to buy chicken, duck and fish meat, but it was rumored in the village that it was because Uncle Zhang and Sanniang Hu had colluded for a long time, so Hu Sanniang asked Uncle Hu to buy noodles from Uncle Zhang. Meat dishes are used.

But it made the Hu family angry.

Maybe it was because he was uncomfortable, or because he wanted to avoid suspicion, Yao Yan saw Uncle Hu and Uncle Zhang face to face several times, and no one greeted the other.

The medicinal materials in the medicine field can be harvested.

But it was a bad day, and there was no way to put it back in the sun. When Yao Yan was worried, Zeng Xingzhi pulled the things behind the medicine shed away.

"This is?"

Seeing something like a chimney, Yao Yan was taken aback.

"This is a stove for roasting medicinal herbs. It was made by my great-grandfather. After I came here, someone made it according to the method. It's just right for this winter."

Yao Yan's mood immediately cleared up.

The two of them went to the medicine field and began to harvest the herbs. If they had grown enough, they would harvest them. If they hadn't matured yet, they would wait until the next spring to harvest them.

Although there are not many medicine fields, you need to be careful when harvesting herbs, otherwise it will damage the properties of the medicine, so even if it is two people, it takes almost three days to complete it.

For the past three days, both of them ate at Yao's mother's side.

Yao's mother wanted to help, but she was good at harvesting the crops, and when it came to the medicinal materials, she didn't know the severity, and she was powerless to help.

After spending three days at home, Yao Yan returned home and took a hot bath, then hugged Zeng Xingzhi and fell asleep.

The next day Zeng Xingzhi cleaned up the stove where the herbs were baked, and he and Yao Yan cleaned the herbs together. After several days of busy work, they put all the herbs into the medicine cabinet.

"I want to eat braised pork, braised pork ribs, braised fish, braised chicken, in short, I want to eat braised food," Yao Yan, who had smelled the bitter medicine for several days, counted his fingers eagerly.

Zeng Xingzhi was carrying his backpack, "Okay, you have a good rest at home, I will be back around noon."

He's going to town.

"Come back earlier," Yao Yan nodded and urged.

After Zeng Xingzhi left, Yao Yan didn't stay idle. He fetched hot water, picked up a handkerchief and tidied up the inside and outside of the house. Then came the medicine shed, then the front yard, and then the back yard. Very busy.

And when Zeng Xingzhi finished shopping and was going to take a bullock cart at the entrance of the town, someone stopped him.

"Third Brother!"

Hearing a familiar voice, Zeng Xingzhi turned around and saw a young man who looked a little like him came over with a surprised face, "I originally came here to try my luck, I don't want to really meet you."

"Fifth?"

Zeng Nianzhi is the fifth eldest in the family and the youngest brother.

"How did you find it here?"

When he met his brother, Zeng Xingzhi took him to the teahouse. The two ordered a pot of tea and started to talk about the old days.

"A friend of mine passed by this town when he was doing business. He said he met you and talked to you." Seeing that Zeng Xingzhi had no memory, Zeng Nianzhi quickly said, "His surname is Gu, and he is a traveling merchant."

Having said this, Zeng Xingzhi remembered that about last month, he and Yao Yan went to the town to buy quilts, and they met someone they knew at first glance, and the other party came up to say hello.

Zeng Xingzhi nodded, and looked at the fifth younger brother who had lost a lot of weight, "I haven't been home for many years, how is my family?"

The smile on Zeng Nianzhi's face gradually disappeared, and he picked up the teacup in a calm tone, "It's very good, the elder brother and sister-in-law are here, everything is fine, I heard that the second brother said that the elder brother has two more sons, the parents are very happy. "

Speaking of the second brother, Zeng Nianzhi laughed, "Second brother used to be the little follower of the elder brother. I originally thought that my parents were right because he supported the elder brother and looked up to him, so I could take a look at the medical books handed down by my family no matter what. , I don’t want my parents not to show it to him at all, and let my elder brother go to my study every time.”

"Second brother was so angry that he felt uncomfortable after a long time. During the Chinese New Year last year, he took advantage of the wine and had sex with dad, and dad slapped him twice in a fit of anger! He said that the medical book was passed down to the eldest son. , told him not to think about it, and said that he would be kicked out next time, just like driving you out back then..."

Zeng Xingzhi's complexion didn't change, but Zeng Nianzhi stopped talking, "In general, the second brother also saw through it, and directly moved out with his sister-in-law and two nieces. Now there is only the eldest brother and sister-in-law at home, not to mention the eldest brother. Anyway, sister-in-law is very happy."

"How have you been these years?"

When Zeng Xingzhi heard this, he didn't want to hear about that family anymore, so he asked Zeng Nianzhi instead.

"I've been away longer than you guys." Zeng Nianzhi was a little proud. He saw through his parents' partiality at the age of 15 and slipped away. The skill is not bad, if someone troubles the third brother, I will make him pay the price!"

"That is to say," Zeng Xingzhi raised his eyes and looked over, "you have been wandering in the rivers and lakes for the past few years, living a life without eating the next meal, right?"

Zeng Nianzhi coughed and poured himself a bowl of tea, "Then what, the main thing is Zizai, does the third brother Zizai understand?"

"There are 20 taels of silver here," Zeng Xingzhi took out his purse, "You don't take much with you when you go out, so you can use it. I live in Lizi Village. If you look for it, just ask Dr. Zeng, and someone will guide you." Come see me."

"Then can I go back with you today?"

Zeng Nianzhi twitched.

"Are you hiding something from me?"

Zeng Xingzhi frowned.

"Ahem, what, the girl I like is in this town. I have a few brothers who also want to settle down here, so they discuss to open an escort agency. I will treat you as a share of the third brother's money, and I will follow you in the future." You get a dividend."

Zeng Nianzhi finally returned home with Zeng Xingzhi.

Yao Yan opened the door, and saw Zeng Nianzhi standing next to Zeng Xingzhi who looked somewhat similar to him, "My lord, is this?"

"This is my fifth brother," Zeng Xingzhi smiled, stepped forward and hugged Yao Yan's shoulders, and looked at the wide-eyed Zeng Nianzhi, "Fifth brother, this is also your third brother."

"Third, third brother?"

Zeng Nianzhi stuttered.

Yao Yan smiled and let him enter the door first.

Looking at the tidy yard, Zeng Nianzhi turned his head, and saw Yao Yan happily looking at the basket Zeng Xingzhi put down, talking about what to eat for dinner, while his third brother looked at him softly.

On the way here, the third brother told him that he had married. He originally thought it was the third sister-in-law, but didn't want to be the third brother?

After thinking about it, Zeng Nianzhi took advantage of Yao Yan's going to the kitchen, and told Zeng Xingzhi that he was going to wander around the mountain.

Zeng Xingzhi knew what his younger brother was planning, so he asked Dahei to follow.

Dahei didn't recognize his life, and ran after him.

When Yao Yan came out after marinating the ribs, he saw Zeng Xingzhi outside.

"Where is the fifth brother?"

"Going out for a stroll," Zeng Xingzhi took Yao Yan to the medicine house to bake the stove.

About an hour later, Zeng Nianzhi came back carrying three pheasants and four hares.

"There are not many things on this mountain, so I can only play some small things. Third brother, don't dislike it. When my bodyguard agency opens, I will definitely invite third brother to eat delicious food!"

Zeng Nianzhi watched Yao Yan say this.

Yao Yan knew that the other party had no ill intentions towards him, but he was trying to flatter him, so he laughed and went to the pool to pick up the prey.

"He's not surprised."

Yao Yan approached Zeng Xingzhi and said in a low voice.

Zeng Xingzhi patted his head, "Surprised, but our family is ahead."

"Who?"

It was only when Zeng Xingzhi found out that he cleared his throat, "My sixth sister."

So he had already seen Zeng Nianzhi who had two sixth younger sisters, and now having an extra third brother was not a big deal at all.
