Xiaoyao Nongjiazi

Although they separated, before they moved out of the old house, all the houses of the Zhong family still ate together, which saved them the trouble of setting up five or six stoves, and the food would not be divided until the houses moved out.

Separation is a good thing for some members of the Zhong family, but it is not so good for Mr. Zhong and his wife.To say that the ones who don't want to separate the family the most are actually the two elders.

Just based on various considerations, Mr. Zhong would rather let his family be pointed at in the end, and he gritted his teeth and separated the family.

Indeed, as Mr. Zhong expected, after the news of the division of the Zhong family spread, there were a lot of gossip about his family in the village.Everyone is thinking that the Zhong family is living a good life these days. The two elders are not at home to enjoy the blessings, and they have been separated with a grandson who is not yet an adult.

As far as Zhong Qingran is like this, if you can't do it, you can't do it. Doesn't Qinghe Square need Mr. Zhong to take care of it?He is quite old, how many years can he manage?When the time comes to hand it over to Zhong Qingran, I don't know what it will be like to be tossed, and I will suffer with my grandson when I am old.If so, it would be a joke.

Zhong Qingran did not hide the fact that he could draw, but not many people knew that the drawings of various items in Qinghefang were made by him.Apparently, the villagers didn't like him very much.That's right, how much can a person who is pampered by his grandparents and spends all day doing nothing but doing nothing?

Many old people are saying that Mr. Zhong doesn't look like someone who can't figure it out, so why is he so muddled in dealing with Zhong Qingran?Instead of following the boss, not following the fifth child who has just been selected as a scholar, and following the grandson for the first time, it really made them gain insight.

Mr. Zhong was completely unmoved. Even though the extra money was given to ensure a stable separation of the family, he did not slap his face swollen to pretend to be fat.A son is a son after all, no matter how much he loves Zhong Qingran, he will not treat other family members as nothing.

He originally thought of splitting up Qinghefang, so that he wouldn't need to pay so much money.Qinghefang is useless to anyone. If it is not in Zhong Qingran's hands, it can only be an ordinary shop and cannot make so much money.In the end, no one in Qinghefang was willing to take over, and after a round, it would still be returned to Zhong Qingran.

Mr. Zhong didn't do this, it was just his own selfishness.He didn't want to damage Zhong Qingran's interests, but also wanted to make life easier for his sons, so he came up with a compromise.After this time, he didn't care about it, whether it was good or bad, it all depended on the abilities of his sons, and he couldn't let him control them for the rest of their lives.

In fact, Mr. Zhong had the idea of ​​separating the family a long time ago. He almost died last year. When he thought that after he left, the Tong family in this family would not be so easy to speak. Qingran's life will not be sad, but it will be easy Wherever he goes, he feels uncomfortable all over.Coincidentally, this time the family was really going to be unable to move, and the third child's problem made him make this decision.

Mr. Zhong calculated that, judging from Qinghefang's current earning speed, at most half a year, all the money can be paid off, and it is estimated that after the next year, he will be debt-free.The most important point is that he knows that the third grandson has no shortage of money, otherwise, who would dare to easily bear a huge debt of more than 1000 taels of silver?If so, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well at night.Even if he had the guts, he wouldn't dare to take the risk. If something unexpected happened and Qingran would be hurt badly, he would have nowhere to cry.

Mr. Zhong didn't discuss this matter with Zhong Qingran in advance, but only mentioned it occasionally. Based on his understanding of the third grandson, he knew that he would definitely not have any objections to it.

Zhong Qingran was very emotional.There are always bumps and bumps in the life of a big family. It is really impossible to say how much he likes this kind of life.There are many people and many things, and they are still tied up when doing things.He also thought about the problem of dividing the family, but it was all left behind, which is very unrealistic.As long as Mr. Zhong doesn't mention it for a day, he won't make it difficult for his old man, and the less money he gets, the less. Nothing is more important than family affection.

How could Zhong Qingran think that he would think of Mr. Zhong and his wife, and the two elders would also think of him.At present, it seems that he is at a disadvantage and owes a lot of debts. In fact, in terms of long-term benefits, he will get more, so he really doesn't need to worry about this little money.

"Happily, these are the only vacant houses in the village. Come and have a look. If you are not satisfied, you can only build the house to the outermost edge of the village." Mr. Zhong spread out the house land brochure he got from the village chief, and then The above records the detailed data of the house land, some are ownerless and have been returned to the village long ago, and some are sold by the villagers.

Zhong Qingran looked carefully. He didn't want to live outside the village. One was for safety reasons, and the other was that Mr. and Mrs. Zhong had lived in the center of the village for so many years, and it might not be suitable for them to move outside all of a sudden.

But in this way, there is not much room for selection. Whether it is an empty house or a built house, no matter how big or small it is, no matter how big or small it is, it will not make a lot of money.

Mr. Zhong tends to choose a larger house, and the workshop is built behind the house so that he can take care of it nearby.Zhong Qingran originally wanted to object, after all, there will only be three people in the family in the future, and it would be too wasteful to live in a big house, but when he thought of the workshop, he agreed.

Once you have a goal, the next thing is easy.Zhong Qingran picked out all the residences that met the requirements, and looked through them one by one. When he saw one of them, he felt a little familiar. After looking carefully, the location written on it happened to be not far from Jian Mingyu's house. In the same alley, but the house is closer to the center of the village.

"Grandpa, how about this one? It's big enough, and it's not too far from the old house."

"Let's go, let's have a look." Mr. Zhong deserved it simply, wouldn't he live in the house in the future?He will do as he pleases.

Tong Shi couldn't understand, but she could understand. Seeing that both grandpa and grandson had left, she hurriedly followed.This is likely to be her house. It's impossible not to take a look.

It was not a pure homestead. Someone built a house before, but they moved away long ago and were taken back by the village at the original price.The house was left unattended, and within a few years it was dilapidated. When Zhong Qingran and the others came over, the courtyard wall and most of the houses had collapsed, leaving only one or two rooms, which were also crumbling.

None of the three dared to get close, and turned around along the courtyard wall.Needless to say, the place is bigger than Zhong's old house.It is estimated that no one bought it because it was too big.No matter how big Hewan Village is, it is not a town after all, and most of those with a little ability will go to Pingyang County, just like Dachangfang, leaving some family members to stay in their hometown, and the rest live outside.

Zhong Qingran thinks that Hewan Village is very good, daily necessities can be bought in the village, and it is not too troublesome to go to the county town, and you can walk back and forth in the morning.

"Grandpa, grandma, I think this place is good, what do you think?" Zhong Qingran made a plan. The house will still be built like the old house, with two entrances, but the front yard can be made shallower, and the gatehouse and guest room are enough. Mr. and Mrs. Zhong and his wife both lived in the backyard.

The two elders have no objection, the place is indeed okay, not far from the street, and it is quite convenient to buy things.

The house land is not expensive, and Mr. Zhong did not spend much money to get the house deed.Now that the autumn harvest has not completely passed, everyone is busy in the fields. Mr. Zhong can't find many people, but it is enough to scrape away the ruins.

Not only was Zhong Qingran active, but his uncles were also not idle.

Of Mr. Zhong's five sons, two actually want to go to Pingyang County, and one even wants to go to Shangyangfu City.That's all for the third child, the thoughts of the second and fifth child are really beyond his expectation.

Mr. Zhong didn't say anything. His son has his own ideas when he grows up. He has made preparations since the moment the family was separated, and he will no longer dictate and interfere with their lives.However, he will not let go of what should be said and what should be persuaded. As for whether to listen or not, that is their own business. He is old and can't control it anymore.

The third child wants to open a restaurant and wants to buy a shop, but 100 taels is not enough.The fifth child wants to take his wife and children on a long trip, and it will definitely not work if there is less money.The behavior of these two people is quite normal, but Mr. Zhong can't figure out what the second child thinks.

This is a very risky matter. Mr. Zhong persuaded him a few words. Seeing that the second child was determined to go this way, he had no choice but to give up, and finally asked, "Are you really going? Do you know how hard it is to walk a long way?" Shimoda looks tiring, but don't worry, you are not familiar with the place outside, and you often need to eat and sleep in the open, you are not young, can you bear it?"

"Father, someone is taking it with me. I wouldn't dare to replace it with me." Zhong Zhengyi has his own strengths, otherwise, if he travels so recklessly, he would really be courting death.

"Okay, be careful yourself. It doesn't matter if you lose your money, you must come back safely."

"Well, I'll pay attention."

"Go back first, I'll figure out a way for the money."

Mr. Zhong is a little worried. The second child runs a business, and he will definitely not succeed without money. Putting 500 taels of silver in Hewan Village is a lot of money, but in the eyes of businessmen, it can only cause a little waves at most.

The third child wants to open a restaurant, whether it is buying a shop or hiring people, the more money the better, the more choices he can make.

On the fifth side, for the same reason, they are all planning to go to Fucheng. If they don't bring some money, who will they turn to if something goes wrong?

In other words, it is best for each of the three sons to make up the remaining 400 taels.One thousand two hundred taels of silver, Mr. Zhong couldn't get it out for a while.He called Zhong Qingran to the upper room, and he almost couldn't bear his old face. Fortunately, Qingran was always hurt by him since he was a child, so he was not afraid of losing face in front of him.

Mr. Zhong took this matter too much for granted, thinking that if each son had 100 taels, there would be no problem at all in a year or so.The few hundred taels of silver left in his hand were actually prepared for the third child. He had already expressed his intention to open a restaurant, but he never mentioned it.It's good now, everything is rushing together, and it's not good to give this money to anyone.

Except for the secrets that Zhong Qingran couldn't really tell, he would tell Mr. Zhong everything else, and the reverse was also true.Mr. Zhong didn't beat around the bush, and said straight to the point: "Qingran, your second uncle, third uncle, and fifth uncle both need money. I don't have enough money. I'll take your rescue first. It doesn't need too much. I just need to take out your money from Qing." I will find a way to collect the rest of the dividends that Hefang received."

Zhong Qingran naturally has no objection, now Qinghefang earns between 100 taels and 200 taels a month, so there is no need to worry about running out of money.He understood what Mr. Zhong meant. The dividends received from Qinghefang were on the bright side. If it exceeded this amount, it would be difficult to explain to others.

Counting the 400 taels given by Zhong Qingran, Mr. Zhong had a total of more than 900 taels, which was more than 200 taels short of the 300 taels.He called the boss and the fourth child, and told him what he meant. Zhong Zhengren and Zhong Zhengzhi said nothing, and went back to the room directly to get the 100 taels of silver notes that were not warm yet.

"I wronged you two first, and I will make up for you soon."

"Father, don't worry. There is no shortage of food and drink at home. The fourth child and I will buy some land later." Zhong Zhengren is not worried about this at all. With his father as a person, can he treat him badly?

Zhong Zhengzhi also thought the same way.He once thought about opening a shop, but when he thought that he would have to wrap his mouth around before he could speak, he felt tired, so he stopped thinking about it, and it would be nice to be a small landlord.

Early the next morning, Mr. Zhong went into the city to go to Qinghefang, and withdrew 150 taels from the account, and the circulation of funds became tense in an instant.Fortunately, a batch of raw materials were purchased before Qinghefang, and they were recorded in the account every day, so it doesn't matter if there is no money in the account for the time being.

Now, the small family of Mr. Zhong and Zhong Qingran has been hollowed out.Of course, this is only on the surface.The problem is, even if Zhong Qingran has money in his hands, it is difficult for him to spend it.This is also one of the reasons why Mr. Zhong tried to separate Zhong Qingran.

When they went up to the room, Mr. Zhong put a stack of one hundred taels of silver bills in front of his three sons and asked, "Fifth, when are you going to leave? The food hasn't all arrived yet, so it's best to wait for a few days."

"Father, the time has been set long ago, and I will leave in ten days." Zhong Zhengxin lowered his eyes, not revealing any emotion.

"Oh, we should be able to catch up. But ten days is a bit urgent, how about this, divide the grain into the warehouse first, so you can deal with it in advance."

Zhong Zhengxin naturally had no objection to this.The Zhong family has a total of 67 mu of land, and the food he can get is worth some money. There are many places in Fucheng where money is used, and a little more money is a little bit.

Distributing food is also a physical effort. Fortunately, except for Zhong Zhengxin, Zhong Zhengren can do it.After working hard for two days, several people finally divided all the existing food.

The rations are distributed by households and rations, and in the end, the rations received by each family are not much different.

In Zhong Zhengxin's room.

"Zhengxin, Fucheng is really as good as you said?" Mrs. Li reconfirmed while tidying up the things.She was both excited about leaving home and going to a strange place, but also a little afraid of the unknown.

"Well, it's several times higher than Pingyang County."

"Then what do we do for a living?" Thinking of this, Mrs. Li was a little worried. Although she had 500 taels of silver on hand, even if she had no experience, she knew that Fucheng cost a lot, and she could get a glimpse of this from Pingyang County.Apart from buying fields and land, she really didn't know how to use the silver.It is not so easy to open a shop, and if you lose a lot of money, you may lose your money if you try rashly.What's more, it was a prefecture city, and those who were not familiar with the place had to endure being bullied.

"You don't need to worry about this matter, you will know when you arrive in Fucheng."

Hearing what Zhong Zhengxin said, Mrs. Li stopped talking.She knew that Zhong Zhengxin was a man of success, and since he didn't want to talk about it, she didn't ask.There is really not much time left for her, just packing her luggage is enough for her to do, and she has to go back to her mother's house, so she has no time to take care of other things.

After getting the money, Zhong Zhengyi and Zhong Zhengli kept running to Pingyang County. It would be difficult to find suitable shops and houses for a while.

The first person to make the trip was naturally Zhong Zhengxin. The night before his departure, he went to Mr. Zhong and said, "Father, my [-] mu of land has been rented out. Please help me to collect the rent. If I can't live in Fucheng , is also a way out.”

"Okay, I'll take care of this for you, don't worry."

In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was still only twilight, Zhong Zhengxin's family of three, taking the baby in Mrs. Li's belly, embarked on the road to Shangyang Mansion City.

The carriage was rented, and the driver was waiting at the gate of Zhong's house early on. Thanks to him traveling all year round, otherwise, it would be really difficult to drive in the dark.

Zhong Qingran was not familiar with Zhong Zhengxin, but he did all the courtesy he should have. Looking at the carriage leaving in a hurry, he felt a little melancholy for no reason.He is like this, Mr. Zhong and his wife should feel even more uncomfortable. After all, it is the youngest son who has been in pain for many years. After leaving, they don't know when they will see each other again. It is strange that they are not sad.

Seeing Tong wipe his eyes with the back of his hand, Zhong Qingran turned his face away, and instead of looking at them, let the two elders vent their anger quietly.

Zhong Zhengyi and Zhong Zhengli's family are alright. Although they don't plan to live in the village, at least Pingyang County is not far from Hewan Village, so it's quite convenient for them to come and go.

Not long after sending Zhong Zhengxin away, Zhong Zhengyi found a house and moved there on an auspicious day.A few days later, Zhong Zhengli also found a good shop, and brought his family into Pingyang County.

Zhong's house suddenly seemed much empty.

"Zhengzhi, the second brother and the others have moved away, so we can't stay at the elder brother's house all the time, can we?" Mrs. Liu took out the money box and counted it. Including the 20 taels of settling allowance given by Mr. Zhong, the total is less than 30 taels .This amount of money used to be a large sum, but now it is not enough.It's not that she is high-minded, but she really has 500 taels of silver as a base, so she can't justify living in the mud room.It doesn't matter to her herself, the baby's father and the children still have face, so she can't make it too shabby no matter what.

"Father's house has been settled, do you think we will live near Dad, or near elder brother?" Zhong Zhengzhi didn't care about either, so he left the choice to his wife.

"Let's stay closer to your parents. It will be convenient for you to take care of them when the time comes. Qingran still needs someone to take care of her. If something happens to your mother, will the family not be in chaos?" Mrs. Liu is grateful to Mrs. Tong.If any family married a daughter-in-law like her, they would not wait to see her, even though she had no choice but to watch her own father die because of lack of money for medical treatment.

But even with such difficulties, if she was a more cruel mother-in-law, she would be tortured.At that time, even if there is a husband to take care of her, she will only suffer.

Although Tong's face was not very good-looking when he thought of this incident, at most he would curse a few words, and let it go.Who doesn't have parents, if he doesn't even care about his own parents who have raised him for more than ten years, does this person still have a conscience?But seeing that her fourth son's family had no savings, she felt bad again, and Tong's mood wandered back and forth between the two.

Mrs. Liu understood her mother-in-law's thoughts very well, and when Mrs. Tong scolded her, she accepted it obediently, so as to make her mother-in-law feel better.

In the years of being married to Zhong Zhengzhi, Liu Shi really hasn't suffered much. She should have to work, and she also has to do it at home. After arriving at her in-law's house, she is only slightly more tired than at home. This alone makes her very satisfied.

In addition, his own man is also responsible, and he just turned a blind eye to her dowry money and the money he saved on weekdays to help her natal family, without a single complaint.But the private house in his hands will not be handed over to her, it will be used for the two children.When Zhong Zhengzhi did this, Mrs. Liu agreed.It's fine if she sticks in, but if her husband gets involved, the children will be too pitiful, and a mother like her can't bear it.

Fortunately, Mrs. Liu's father has already recovered from illness, and her body only needs to be recuperated slowly, and she does not need to be subsidized desperately by Mrs. Liu. Next, she has to make good plans for her own family.

After confirming the general location, Zhong Zhengzhi and his wife quickly picked a house, which was not big and had only one entrance, which was the most common house layout in Hewan Village.In the front is the house, and in the back is the vegetable garden.The house is a mud-and-tiled house, and there are only two main rooms, one main room, and a stove room, etc., but the construction is not very good.

But even so, the money was not less. After the repairs, it cost almost 15 taels in total.Mrs. Liu couldn't help sighing, the money is really useless, no wonder the second and third uncles are fighting for the old house, everything is caused by money.

Thinking of the house having to be rebuilt after the 500 taels of silver was purchased, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but feel pain. There is no 50 taels of silver. fine.The more Liu thought about it, the more her heart ached, so she simply stopped thinking about it.

On this day, Zhong Qingran went to the new house to check the progress as usual, but unexpectedly saw Jian Mingyu's figure. He was a little surprised, pulled him aside and asked softly, "Why are you here?"

"The autumn harvest is over, and there is not much work at home. Seeing that there are only a few people working on your side, I came here to help. Are you short of money recently?" Jian Mingyu also replied in a low voice.

Zhong Qingran shook his head: "There is no shortage of silver, but just like you, you can't take it out openly. After you sell all the medicinal herbs on Xiaoshan, you should be able to use some of it."

"I think so too."

"Now that you know it, then don't do it, don't make your body grow taller and come to me to complain."

"I'm so strong, I can't be crushed."

Seeing Jian Mingyu's clear and trusting eyes, Zhong Qingran was defeated.Why did he forget that this person has amazing talent and cannot be treated by ordinary people: "Then you are busy, pay attention, don't get hit by stones, bricks and tiles, I will train Dianbai and Minglei."

"En." Jian Mingyu responded, turned around and walked quickly towards the construction site, leaving Zhong Qingran with a slender back.

Zhong Qingran went home first and asked Ming to cook a pot of mung bean soup. After a while, he mentioned the new house, and after explaining, he turned to Jian's.

When Zhong Qingran arrived, Jian Mingchen was busy at the entrance of the main room, and two young eagles were sitting on the scaffold. Seeing him, they called a few times as a greeting.

Zhong Qingran blew a whistle, Dianbai and Minglei received the signal, Dang even spread his wings, fluttered a few times, and finally landed safely on the ground.

These two young eagles already have the appearance of eagles. Their feathers are mostly dark brown, and there is a white circle around their necks and heads.The point of whiteness is exactly as Jian Mingyu thought, the forehead is the same color as the feathers, not white at all.

Zhong Qingran didn't know about eagles, but he had heard that the little eagle was thrown off a cliff by Cheng Ying and forced to learn to fly.Zhong Qingran naturally wouldn't be so cruel, if he fell to his death, where would he find a second pair of eagles?

Zhong Qingran took a big basket, put the two young eagles in it, put them on the ground, then skillfully climbed up the tree in the yard, stood on the first horizontal branch, lifted the basket to the tree with a hook, and ignored both The hawks struggled, throwing one by one high, letting them struggle and flop in the air, and then landed with difficulty.

After repeating it twice, Zhong Qingran didn't continue. Not only were the two eagles exhausted, but Zhong Qingran also felt uncomfortable.Climb up and down, but also be careful not to fall from the tree, is he easy?

Although Dianbai and Minglei always pecked at Zhong Qingran, they still obeyed his words.If it weren't for the arrogant nature of the two eagles, Zhong Qingran wouldn't have to go up and down all the time, Jian Mingchen next to him could help him put the eagles into the basket, but it's a pity that Jian Mingchen didn't let Jian Mingchen touch them, so he could only Take the effort to do it yourself.

Zhong Qingran has been training the two eagles for a few days, maybe they are too young, or the training environment is not exciting enough, so Dianbai and Minglei can't fly smoothly.But the effect is still there. The two eagles stay in the air for longer and longer. I believe that they should be able to soar freely in the blue sky in a short time.

Jian Mingchen looked enviously, Zhong Qingran and the two young eagles came and went, the two sides seemed to be at odds, but in fact they had a good relationship.Looking down at the puppies around his feet, he frowned again with a smile.

Jian Mingyu went to the villager's house to ask for this puppy after he noticed Mingchen's sneaky eyes all the time. It was either a rare breed or a native dog that was very common in the village.
