Crossing the Farmland Happy Events
Chapter 57
Originally, many people from Hongsha Village went to the mountains to collect mountain goods every year, because some people in the town also collected them, but firstly, the price was not very good, and secondly, the harvest was not too much. Basically, it’s the time when every household’s farm work is the heaviest, so even if there are a lot of people picking it up, it’s just picking up some snacks for their children, and there are only a few who really sell it for money. After all, heavy farm work means time for other things. not enough.Ye Chengliang only knew after listening to Shi Ling and Li Yufen that some people saved some money, but they might not be able to sell it, and in the end they were slowly eaten by their own family.
The winter in the north is long, and this Hongsha village is very cold from the beginning of November to the end of March of the following year. Basically, it will start to freeze soon after the first snow falls.Ye Chengliang's current plan is to collect all the things that should be harvested while the weather is still warm, and produce a few more snacks when winter comes, and sell them in time for the Chinese New Year, and the price must be wrong no.So Ye Chengliang discussed with Zhang Dazhuang, and finally entrusted Sun Ermeng to collect nuts.Sun Ermeng is Bai Yousheng's cousin, and he is also reliable, and since they have the free labor of Tie Dan, the couple have more time to help, unlike Bai Yousheng's family and Liu Datong's family, now Is too busy to touch the ground.
Tiedan accidentally destroyed Sun Ermeng's family land in order to get Ye Chengliang to take care of it. Later, he used his own seedlings to make up for it, and he had to do farm work for Sun Ermeng's family for free. Everyone in the village knew about it.
Ye Chengliang explained to Sun Ermeng and his wife carefully what he wanted to collect and the price, including what kind of quality he wanted, and he also gave them a sample, and asked them to accept it according to the sample, almost everything is fine, if the quality is better, the price is slightly higher Some will do.Their reward is twenty Wen a day.Sun Ermeng and his wife felt that the job was easy, so they took it.But it's still early, and the nuts haven't fully grown yet, so the couple only collected sand ginseng at the beginning, because it's the right time to dig this thing.As for the others, they first inquired in the village who grows peanuts and sunflower seeds, went to see the quality of each, ordered several companies with good fruit growth, and then went to the neighboring village to talk about harvesting mountain products.After all, wild things are not as readily available as home-grown ones. In comparison, the number is still limited, so the more people pick them, the better.But there is one more important thing, which should be used at any time, and that is firewood!When the nuts are not available, the firewood can also be sold for money, and it is collected every day!
After such a busy schedule, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching in a blink of an eye, and every family is preparing for the reunion.On the thirteenth day, when Wuweizhai's transport personnel came to collect the Liangpi, Guo Tingan also came along, and brought a lot of snacks made by his own master to Ye Chengliang's family, including moon cakes.As a thank you gift, Ye Chengliang personally cooked for Guo Tingan to have a meal. Except for a vegetarian fried mountain mushroom and secret pan-fried ginseng, the rest of the dishes were all grown by Ye Chengliang himself.Of course, the fish and pheasant are provided by Zhang Dazhuang.
Guo Tingan is in the business of selling food, what hasn't he eaten all these years?But let alone, the dishes made by Ye Chengliang felt fresh to him, especially the secret fried sand ginseng.To be honest, they originally regarded this thing as medicinal material, how many people would eat this?I always feel that no matter how I cook it, it is not a serious taste, but when Jing Ye Chengliang fried it with his hands, there was a hint of softness in the sweetness, but it was still a bit chewy in the mouth, making people unable to stop eating it.There is also that little pheasant spicy stewed potatoes, fragrant, that is really fragrant!If you eat it accidentally, you can bite your tongue.
Situ Chenfei, He Yan, and Hai Qing were also invited to have dinner together, but there are many rules in the ancients, so He Yan and Hai Qing, as the younger generations, did not go to the table, but went to rub Li Jinge and Shi Ling at the same table. Only Situ Chenfei, Guo Tingan, Zhang Dazhuang and Ye Chengliang were at the table.Situ Chenfei said: "If I knew it earlier, I should have asked Da Zhuang to pay me back with Ah Liang. It's really cheap for him."
Zhang Dazhuang glared at Situ Chenfei, "Am I that kind of person? Besides, my A-Liang is a priceless treasure, and I can't afford that little money."
Guo Tingan didn't care about this, he is a businessman, and now his mind is on making money, so he asked Ye Chengliang, "Brother Aliang, how do you make this pumpkin cake? It tastes good. If you give me a recipe, I plan to eat it in my own restaurant." do some here."
Ye Chengliang's invitation to Guo Ting'an to eat must not only be to thank him for his snacks, he said: "It's possible, and there's nothing difficult about it. But how does Brother Guo feel about eating this ginseng?"
Guo Ting'an said: "Okay, I was just thinking about whether I should let people charge some. You don't know, there are not a few restaurants like Wuweizhai here. If you want to stay in the hearts of customers, you have to do it from time to time." Introduce some new tricks. This is like eating at home. If you eat one dish every time, everyone will get bored. To be honest, a restaurant called Feng Lai Ke, which stands in the same breath as my Wuweizhai, recently launched a new dessert. , it can make snacks and dishes, and it really attracts some customers from Wuweizhai, but it makes me worry to death."
Ye Chengliang said "Oh?", "Brother Guo, have you tried that dish?"
Guo Tingan said: "I have tasted it, but the chef in my restaurant can only taste eggs and bean paste in the dish, but he can't make it."
Ye Chengliang has eaten countless delicacies. What Guo Tingan said, he always felt that it was very similar to the snow-clothed bean paste that his best friends in his previous life loved. So he asked: "Is it the golden yellow skin on the outside, which tastes like an egg when you bite it? Wrapped with red bean paste?"
Guo Tingan nodded when he heard the words, "That's right. This dish is called Xueyi Bean Paste. Brother Ah Liang has eaten it before?"
Ye Chengliang smiled, "I've tried it. It's not difficult to make, it just takes some effort. I'll let Da Zhuang write down the method later, and you can let the chef know it."
Guo Tingan had a Coke now, "Okay, okay, this is great. Let me tell you that my trip will not be in vain. Brother Aliang, you have helped me a lot." After saying that, he pouted at Situ Chenfei, "Before, I was always beaten by this stinking beauty, but now he has finally done a great deed, that is, let me know you."
Situ Chenfei stared at him, and stomped Guo Tingan's foot under the table, "Fatty, I only eat your meals a few times, how dare you remember it for so long!"
Guo Tingan gritted his teeth in pain, and couldn't touch his feet on the dining table, so he finally had to move his chair back, and his feet followed suit.But he still didn't forget to talk about business after the pain became like this, "Brother Ah Liang, do you have this ginseng here?"
Ye Chengliang chuckled, "I've collected a lot, Brother Guo, do you want to take it?"
Guo Ting'an made a decision, "It must be accepted, and this is what sells fresh. How much do you have, I will arrange someone to come when I go back."
Zhang Dazhuang: "About a hundred and eighty catties, this thing is not easy to find."
Guo Tingan felt that this was too little, but it was better than nothing, so he said: "Then when I go back, I will take it back with me. What about the price, how about [-]% higher than the market price?"
Ye Chengliang didn't object, and asked He Yan to help put the ginseng on the scale after the meal, and asked Zhang Dazhuang to write down the recipes for snowy bean paste and pumpkin pie with him.When Ye Chengliang handed the prescription to Guo Tingan, Guo Tingan accepted it like a baby, and asked Ye Chengliang when he married Zhang Dazhuang.After asking, he happily took his things and left.
Zhang Dazhuang said: "Daughter-in-law, you are really a genius."
Ye Chengliang: "What happened to me?"
Zhang Dazhuang said with a smile: "You didn't ask Brother Guo for the recipe for the snow-clothed bean paste and the recipe for the pumpkin cake. Didn't you just want to give him a favor? You know how happy he is. Just now he asked us if we were married." Days, this red envelope must be a big deal."
Ye Chengliang whispered to Zhang Dazhuang in a low voice, "Just know this kind of thing in your heart, it's so boring to say it!"
Zhang Dazhuang nodded hurriedly, "It makes sense!"
Guo Ting'an brought a lot of snacks, so Ye Chengliang packed some for Li Zheng's family after dinner at night, only then did he know that Sun Jie had written to his family, saying that it was from a family surnamed Wen who now lives in Beiling Mansion , the family was very warm to him, thanked Boss Guo for his kindness, and also thanked Ye Chengliang and Zhang Dazhuang for their help.Now it's almost time to publish the results. Although he can't go home to spend this festival with his family, he thinks he did well in the test this time!
Li was reading the letter over and over again, almost memorizing the contents.
Zhao Jing was also very happy, but she didn't forget to thank Ye Chengliang, "Ah Liang, did you bring anything with you when you said you came, did you treat my aunt as an outsider? You helped me with my family's Sun Jie. I don't know how to thank you."
Ye Chengliang smiled and said: "Boss Guo from the county brought it when he came. I'll give you and my uncle a taste."
Farmers seldom buy mooncakes during festivals, which are very precious.Zhao Jing was not willing to eat it, and took a long time to take a sip.At this moment, Li was saying, "Ah Liang, Uncle has something to inquire about."
Ye Chengliang: "Uncle, tell me."
Lizheng put the letter away and said: "You and Da Zhuang are not married yet, and your account is not from our Hongsha Village. It's almost time to collect taxes. Uncle thought, are you taking Is the date of marriage with Da Zhuang brought forward, or what should I do?"
Ye Chengliang really didn't think about this problem, and asked: "If it doesn't come in advance, what's the problem?"
Li Zheng said: "It's just paying an extra tax. Now that you have land in our Hongsha Village, you have to pay mu tax, which you have to pay no matter what. And if you live here, you have to pay poll tax If you and Da Zhuang are a couple, a family, then you only need to pay a corvee tax, but you are not a couple now, and you have not settled down in Hongsha Village, so you and Da Zhuang each have to pay Pay the corvee tax."
Ye Chengliang knew that when Zhang Dazhuang went to serve in corvee, the corvee tax was [-] cash per person, and the head tax was [-] cash per person, but he didn't know how much it was now.This thing is also bullish every year, not always static.
Li Zheng said: "This year's corvee tax is 280 renminbi per person, and the poll tax is still 620 renminbi per person. The sum is exactly [-] renminbi, and the tax your family has to pay this year is [-] renminbi."
Ye Chengliang expressed that he understood, and was about to say that he and Da Zhuang's marriage date will not change.As a result, before he could say anything, he heard someone knock on the door outside. As soon as he spoke, the three people in the room looked at each other in dismay, but they said that it wasn't Chen Qiufeng who was coming from outside?
Chen Qiufeng also didn't want to come this trip, but she was really uneasy.It seems that Zhang Dali has been out for two months, why is there no news about him?At the beginning, I sent two letters to my family, and then there was no sound.If it is not the first time this year that Shangfucheng rushes to take the exam, why do you often write letters last year, but not this year?
Everyone in the family jumped their right eyelids together, and Chen Qiufeng guessed if something happened to Zhang Dali, so she wanted to ask Li Zheng if Sun Jie had mentioned Zhang Dali in his letter.If not, at least when Lizheng wrote back to Zhang Dali, she would ask her to help.
Lizheng didn't like to see Zhang Dali's family very much, but as Lizheng should do to save face, if there was a problem in the village, he had to solve it, so he asked his wife to open the door and let Chen Qiufeng in.
As soon as Chen Qiufeng entered the room and saw Ye Chengliang, her face was a bit ugly at the time, but now she couldn't care less, and just asked Zhao Jing, "Auntie, did Sun Jie write?"
Zhao Jing said, "Here you are, and you said you did well in the exam."
Chen Qiufeng hurriedly asked: "Then he mentioned my Dali?"
Zhao Jing shook her head, looked at Li Zheng, "Did Dali not be mentioned in the letter?"
Li Zheng said: "No." Seeing Chen Qiufeng's anxious face, he said: "Your family has not heard from Dali for quite a while."
If there is a letter, the courier will send it to Lizheng's house, and then Lizheng will send someone to pick it up, or send it to him if he is on the way, so Lizheng will be absolutely clear whether anyone in the village has a letter or not.
Chen Qiufeng said in his heart that this is not nonsense, but he dared not show the slightest displeasure on his face, and asked in a good voice: "Auntie, can you and my uncle ask me about Dali's situation when you reply to the letter again? "
Li Zheng said: "It's done, it just so happens that I haven't written this letter yet."
Chen Qiufeng thanked her, and when she left, she gave Ye Chengliang a hard look, her eyes seemed to say, if my Dali doesn't pass the exam, I will never end with you!
Ye Chengliang also replied with his eyes: Master is waiting.
After Chen Qiufeng went out, Zhao Jing asked Lizheng in a low voice, "Isn't something wrong with Zhang Dali? I remember that he and Sun Jie went to rush for the exam last time, and he wrote back every few days. Didn't the letter say where he lives? Appreciation, or because she has met some wealthy friends, then Wang Jinhua can't wait to show the contents of the letter in front of the whole village, but there is really not much news this year."
Li Zheng glared at the words, "I'm not that heavenly god, how would I know. Let's ask our son."
Ye Chengliang saw that Lizheng's desire to gossip was raging, so he quickly said that he would not change the date of marriage and pay taxes normally, and then left.Before I went far, I heard Zhao Jing say in the room: "Look at this Ah Liang, he never comes back empty-handed, and he has to help me when he sees me working. It's not like that Chen Qiufeng, who comes to trouble people with empty hands, so shameless." thick!"
Lizheng said: "What kind of mother-in-law recruits what kind of daughter-in-law."
Ye Chengliang stumbled when he heard the words, and thought to himself, could it be that I look like Li Jinge recently? !
After returning home, Ye Chengliang's first question was to ask Zhang Dazhuang, "Am I acting like an old lady recently?"
Zhang Dazhuang was taken aback when he heard this, "You don't look like a big lady, you look like a big girl."
Ye Chengliang chased Zhang Dazhuang with a broom and beat him around!Seeing Li Jinge almost laughed out of breath.
Later, Zhang Dazhuang knew what Ye Chengliang was asking, so he said seriously: "Mother used to be very popular in our village, but after her father was gone, she was busy working to make money, so she didn't have much contact with people. "
Ye Chengliang glanced at Li Jinge who entered the room and continued to work, hooked his fingers at Zhang Dazhuang, and asked in a low voice, "How is Zhang Dali doing now?"
Zhang Dazhuang compared his index finger to his lips, "Say it in the night."
In fact, it's really nothing special, but Zhang Dazhuang has been unkind recently, always hooking Ye Chengliang with these questions, and he won't tell Ye Chengliang until he is full.Ye Chengliang couldn't handle this, so every day he had to sell himself for the most serious things, what a thug.
Zhang Dazhuang said: "After Zhang Dali was thrown into Guaibazi Village, he slept with a widow in her 30s and changed into women's clothes. Later, he begged all the way to Beiling Mansion, and finally met some people he knew. About this time When I arrive at Luhe, I think I will be back in a few days."
Ye Chengliang said in a daze, "Tsk, he deserves it, but if Wang Jinhua knows that he has been kidnapped, he has to do something."
Zhang Dazhuang played with Ye Chengliang's hair, "That's not necessarily the case. There was news from Hezhi that one of the scholars who went to Beiling Mansion to take the exam this time had a surname Zhao, who had something to do with Zhang Dali back then, and he won the exam this time." The possibility is very high. There is one thing you probably don’t know. At first, King Rong wanted to change the county magistrate of our Anping County. He has not moved so far but is waiting for the results of the imperial examination this time. He probably wants to choose a character with a guarantee. Whoever made Situ Chenfei is in our county. I guess, if this kid surnamed Zhao wins the election, the possibility of coming to our Anping County as the county magistrate is not low. If that is the case, Zhang Dali's future has come to an end."
Ye Chengliang: "Why didn't Sun Jie come to be this official?"
Zhang Dazhuang: "The kid's merit test is to exempt his family's land from taxes. He said before that he doesn't want to be an official."
Ye Chengliang: "..."
Zhang Dazhuang: "What?"
Ye Chengliang: "It's nothing, I just feel that your friend's ambition is always so... so unpredictable." As a genius doctor, Situ Chenfei just wants to be a quiet beauty, and as Li Zheng's son, he is quite knowledgeable. But I only thought about farming.
Fortunately, at least Liu Datong and the others are normal.
Just after thinking about it, Zhang Dazhuang said: "What is this, do you know what Ermeng's ideal is?"
Ye Chengliang: "What?"
Zhang Dazhuang: "When he was young, he said that he wanted to be a tortoise in a brothel when he grew up."
Ye Chengliang: "!!!"
That was a long time ago. At that time, Sun Ermeng was not much taller than the bucket. He also heard that the tortoise in the brothel saw a lot of beauties every day, and the guests gave him a lot of money. Such a heartless ideal came, and it was long forgotten later.Now Sun Ermeng is a good hand at work, and he is quite smart, and he has really helped Ye Chengliang a lot.
On this day, Ye Chengliang got a lot of sand ginseng from Sun Ermeng, and then got a batch of peanuts.The peanuts are still fresh and have not been dried, but there is not much soil on the outside of the shell, and they are still big. Once you peel off the skin and the kernels are full, you can see that they are ready-made.Ye Chengliang thought it was good, so he kept them all, and asked Sun Ermeng to continue to help collect some.
Sun Ermeng took the money and didn't leave in a hurry. He said with a smile, "Ah Liang, Da Zhuang, have you heard? Zhang Dali came back last night when it was just getting dark."
Ye Chengliang and Zhang Dazhuang looked at each other, "I haven't heard of it, how do you know?"
Sun Ermeng said: "Didn't I go to collect peanuts this morning? Aunt Liu of that kind of peanuts said it. Her house is not far from Zhang Dali's house. When the peanuts came out, I sent some to Zhang Dali's house. In fact, it was I wanted to find out how Zhang Dali was doing in the exam. Guess what happened? She was about to leave after delivering the peanuts when Zhang Dali came back. I failed to take the exam. But Wang Jinhua was so scared that she almost passed out at that time."
Zhang Dazhuang said with a smile: "That's too bad. Didn't she keep her son Zhongju out of the house for several days?"
Sun Er nodded sharply, "No, so this person really can't have bad intentions, God can watch, I see how her nostrils will be turned up in the future, and she will look superior to everyone she sees."
The news in the village spread quickly. Zhang Dali came back last night, and everyone in the village knew about it by noon the next day.Anyway, when Ye Chengliang heard people say it again, it turned out that Zhang Dali had a relationship with a prostitute in Beiling Mansion, and in the end the prostitute patted his ass and left after draining his money.
Ye Chengliang felt that it was a pity that the people who spread the news did not write novels.If he writes, he must spend money to buy two books to pass the time.Intuit talented!
But speaking of it, God is kind enough to let Zhang Dali rush home in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
This festival is Ye Chengliang's first relatively big festival since he crossed over. Although there was a Dragon Boat Festival before, but at that time, he was full of thoughts about how to make money and didn't even remember the date, so this time he had to live it well.
Ye Chengliang and Li Jinge let the transportation team take away half of the sugar and Liangpi that was less than usual, and then started cooking, making a table full of dishes for a good meal.But this time the family is not just three people.Ye Chengliang stared at the four children standing in a row from low to high like steps in front of him. He knew Zhang Hezhi.
Li Jinge: "..."
The youngest one raised his face and tugged at Zhang Hezhi's sleeve, and asked childishly, "Brother, why are you staring at me?"
The third child said: "Brother, mother is really good-looking, and she is also good-looking when she stares at people."
The second child said, "Brother, our mother seems to be a man."
Ye Chengliang: "..."
Seeing Ye Chengliang frowned, Zhang Hezhi patted his younger brothers with a smile, "Mother is a boy, you can just call him foster father from now on."
The youngest half hid behind Zhang Hezhi in fear, and said timidly: "But I want mother, can I call him mother?"
Ye Chengliang: "He knows, these are your father's children?"
Zhang Hezhi said very clearly: "Yes foster father, we are all adopted by father."
Ye Chengliang nodded, "Come on, follow me to wash your hands, we will have a reunion dinner together later, and we will talk about other things later."
Zhang Hezhi signaled his younger brothers to follow quickly, and asked, "Father, where's dad?"
Ye Chengliang scooped some water into the basin for the children, "It fell into the latrine."
two three four:"……"
The second child is Zhang Xingzhi, seven years old.The third child is Zhang Qianzhi, five years old.The fourth child is Zhang Lizhi, who is three years old.Putting the middle characters of the four children together is the homonym of "crane travels thousands of miles", which is relatively easy to remember.And the fourth child has a cute nickname, Xiao Lizi, but he looks like a ripe peach, pink and tender.
When the four children finished washing their hands and were about to go back to the eating place with Ye Chengliang, Zhang Dazhuang "crawled" out of the latrine, and the four children all called daddy, and Xiao Lizi raised his face and asked, "Daddy, did you die?" Is it in the latrine?"
Zhang Dazhuang: "Who said that?"
Zhang Lizhi: "Mother said so."
Zhang Dazhuang: "I'm kidding you, dad is going to pick this." He lifted the small bowl in his hand, and it turned out that it contained the last crop of raspberries.
The children had never eaten this thing, and when Ye Chengliang finished washing the bowl of raspberries, they immediately looked at Ye Chengliang eagerly.But Ye Chengliang only let them each take one to taste, and then put it on the table.Zhang Hezhi taught his younger brothers, "Let grandma eat first, and then we will eat."
Before Li Jinge recovered from the sudden incident of having four more grandchildren, the children came back with their fathers.Li Jinge looked at this, then at that, and then asked Zhang Dazhuang, "Da Zhuang, did you adopt these from outside?"
Zhang Dazhuang said: "Yes, mother." After that, let the children call grandma.
The children called out one by one, and the reunion dinner seemed to be more complete.
Ye Chengliang had met Zhang Hezhi before, and knew that this kid was reliable. Although the other three were still young, they seemed to teach well.At least he looks like it.In fact, to raise a child, you must have a deep relationship after raising it for a long time. At the beginning, you will definitely not have too much deep parental affection. This means that he is a big man who looks 30 years old in his heart. If he is really only 16 years old , that would be embarrassing.
Zhang Dazhuang didn't tell Ye Chengliang in advance that these children would come, because Zhang Dazhuang himself didn't expect that Zhang Hezhi would have free time so soon.His eldest son is quite capable, and he has a lot of things to do on weekdays, so it's not so easy to see him once.
Ye Chengliang doesn't care anymore, there are few fun in ancient times, and being busy making money every day is quite boring to be honest. It would be nice to have a few children, but what Zhang Dazhuang thinks, he still wants to ask clearly, "Do you want them to live in the future?" Is it here?"
Because of the large number of children, Li Jinge felt that they were all cute, so he took her to sleep with her. Zhang Dazhuang and Ye Chengliang only brought a little plum.Xiao Lizi was still young, when he heard that he was going to be separated from his father, Ye Chengliang simply hugged him into his room.
Xiao Lizi had already slept soundly at the moment, Zhang Dazhuang said: "It depends on what you think. If you like them to stay here, you can stay here. If you don't like them, they have a place to go. The key is that you are so busy all day, if your family I’m worried that you won’t be able to handle the addition of these little things. I didn’t want them to come over at first, but these children haven’t seen me for a long time, and I heard that He Zhi has a mother, so I’ve been thinking about it, so I Let them take a look."
Ye Chengliang covered Xiao Lizi with a quilt, hesitated for a moment and said: "Let's stay, I think the aunt likes them very much. Besides, if they were sent away, I would feel uncomfortable. Anyway, there is no shortage of food and clothing at home now. , and they are all boys, easy to feed."
When Zhang Dazhuang heard this, he couldn't help but put Ye Chengliang in his arms, "Ah Liang, how can you be so nice!"
Ye Chengliang: "What a fart! Let them feed the chicken tomorrow!"
Zhang Dazhuang smiled and sucked Ye Chengliang's earlobe, knowing that he was deliberately angry with him, so he didn't take it to heart, and instead said: "We will get married when the autumn harvest is over, and I will go out later to take The money owed to Situ Chenfei and King Rong has been settled, and our family will live happily ever after."
Ye Chengliang immediately became worried, "What are you going to do with so much money? Don't wait for you to come back and my front teeth will all fall out!"
Zhang Dazhuang almost didn't spit it out, let's assume that Ye Chengliang was reluctant to leave by himself, so he hurriedly said, "What's the matter? I'll be back in half a month at most."
Ye Chengliang didn't ask any more questions, because he knew that Zhang Dazhuang also had some things that were inconvenient to say.Anyway, as long as the money can be repaid, he can still trust Zhang Dazhuang's character.
In fact, if it wasn't for Ye Chengliang, Zhang Dazhuang would have done it long ago.But right now he didn't leave because he was worried about Ye Chengliang's safety.The one who went out among the well diggers was followed by someone before, but he lost him after only two days of success. Up to now, Zhang Dazhuang and Zhang Hezhi don't know where the other party went. Now they can only confirm where Human beings are from Shuliang country, and others are unknown.Fortunately, the coachman who pretended to be dumb is in their hands, and he has been asking for a lot of useful information intermittently these days.
Early the next morning, Zhang Hezhi bid farewell and left when it was still daylight. The three younger ones were very depressed for a while when they woke up and didn't see their elder brother, but they were soon distracted by Ye Chengliang with other things. .
Ye Chengliang took a group of boys to watch the piglets, dig potatoes, and also took them to dig sweet potatoes, break sticky corn, and baked sweet potatoes and corn for them to eat.After eating it for half a day, the children still remember that there is a big brother, but that the sweet potatoes in their hands are very sweet and the corn is very sticky!
Li Jinge had fallen asleep with the youngest in his arms, and the other two went to play with Niuniu and Xiaotong.The children have good natures, and Niuniu is a good big sister, so they played together in a short time.
Ye Chengliang and Zhang Dazhuang stared at the sugar in the workshop, and the chicken house bought by Lu Tiezhu's family was now steaming corn flakes and glutinous rice.Since they moved out, it has become a complete No. [-] workshop. Ye Chengliang also had people add stoves and pots in it, so now there are ten sugar pots in total, but the stove was added later. The upper pot has not been fully smelted, and it will take a few days before it can be used to steam things.
Zhang Dazhuang took off the special flat plate on the top of several pots, stirred the sugar below to prevent them from sticking to the pot, and then said to Ye Chengliang: "Ah Liang, we will get married next month. You have to prepare the things you need, Xifu, what do you want?"
Ye Chengliang said: "Just be the same as you."
Zhang Dazhuang wrote it down, and said: "Sister-in-law Shi Ling said that when we get married, she will let you go out from her house."
Ye Chengliang thought about it and said, "Isn't that necessary? We've all lived together for such a long time, do we still pay attention to this? Of course, it doesn't matter if it has to be like this. Just look at the arrangements."
Zhang Dazhuang said: "Then directly pray to heaven and earth?"
Ye Chengliang said: "Okay!"
As soon as the words were finished, a noisy voice came from outside, Wang Jinhua pulled her neck and shouted: "Ye Chengliang, you shameless vixen, come out to me! You little bitch, you asked me to send some shit Swear! My family was kidnapped vigorously by the gangsters, did you instigate someone to make you a piece of shit that cost a thousand knives!"
Ye Chengliang slammed down the malt basin, "What do you do to me now that I'm out? The cursing and cursing are just a few things, can you have something new? And it's none of my business that your son didn't pass the exam! It's him You have the nerve to come out and shout to everyone if you don’t have the skills? Your skin is thicker than a pit!”
Wang Jinhua knew that Ye Chengliang was quick-spoken, but it was really unpleasant for her not to scold her today.Well, my son went to Fucheng to rush for the exam, but he didn't even touch the edge of the paper, and was stolen by someone without even leaving a piece of clothing!This wait will take another three years, and I don't know if it's because of scaring or what, her son is so timid when he comes back this trip, he doesn't even want to go out!
Zhang Dazhuang went out to put Xiao Lizi in the house, showed Tang to his mother, and followed him out.No matter what, you can't let people scold your daughter-in-law, right?
Wang Jinhua saw Zhang Dazhuang obliterated her own shadow as soon as he came out, and was so burly and scary, so she shrank back, "You, why are you at home?!" Didn't they all go to the mountains to break corn?
Zhang Dazhuang sneered, "Why can't I be at home? All the land in my house has been rented out for help to clean up. I will stay at home and watch over my family's Liang. I am willing! Your family's Zhang Dali is not capable and he failed to pass the exam to shut down my family's Liang. What's the matter? I don't do good deeds on weekdays, but I'm ashamed to come out and scold others. If you want me to say, God didn't let your son pass the exam just because your mouth is too stinky."
Wang Jinhua was so angry when she heard that, she immediately sat down on the ground and cried, "Fellow folks, please judge, what kind of thing is this Ye Chengliang? My son couldn’t pass the exam, what do you think he’s worried about? He’s from the same village, so he obviously doesn’t like my family’s strength. In order for Dali to pass the exam, I chant Buddha’s name at home every day, and I don’t even leave the house. , Why did the gangsters arrest him? My Dali has never offended anyone. It's him!" Wang Jinhua pointed at Ye Chengliang with red eyes, "It's him, a vixen, it must be him, there is no one else except him! "
Niu Niu let out a loud voice when she heard the crisp voice: "Bah!" Then she pinched her waist and said, "You are too old to be ashamed, it is clear that you first spoke ill of Uncle A Liang and spread rumors so that you have to swear, It's too embarrassing to rely on others!"
Wang Jinhua glared sharply, "You little bastard, you don't have the right to interrupt when adults are talking! There are no rules at all!"
At this time, Chen Qiufeng pulled Wang Jinhua with red eyes, "Mother, don't talk about it." After speaking, she looked at Zhang Dazhuang with tears in her eyes, bit her lips and said, "Da Zhuang, I'm sorry for what happened back then. , if you have any resentment, you can come to me, can you not let your family Ye Chengliang get in trouble with us?"
Zhang Dazhuang laughed with a "hehe", and his smile was very cold, "A piece of Liangpi is worth more than you in the hearts of A Liang and I. I can't live with you? Are you putting money on your face too much? Your Zhang Dali didn't test You just didn’t pass the exam, why can’t you blame the latrine for not being able to shit? And speaking of it, I have to thank you, if you didn’t regret your marriage at the beginning, where would I have the chance to get together with Ah Liang?”
When Chen Qiufeng heard that the fists under the sleeves were tightly clenched, she raised her eyes and looked at Zhang Dazhuang pitifully, with tears in her eyelashes, which made the well-digging workers feel itchy in their hearts.The master who asked them to work was good-looking, but unfortunately he was a boy. This one is not as good as it is now, but she is a full-fledged woman, and this young woman knows how to serve men best.It's a pity that the innocence is just pretending at first glance, and you can tell that you are a whore inside by looking at your eyes.
Wang Jinhua grabbed Chen Qiufeng, and was very dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law's way of pretending to be pitiful to attract a bunch of men to see her as an adulterer. She pinched her secretly and said, "Take care of your eyeballs, be careful not to fly out!"
Chen Qiufeng still wanted to say something, but Zhang Dali came out with the child in his arms, and the child kept crying, probably because he was hungry.
Sure enough, when Zhang Dali saw Chen Qiufeng, he said viciously: "The child is looking for a mother, why didn't you take her with you when you came out? I can't live in peace at home because of the noise."
Chen Qiufeng immediately took the child, and the child closed his eyes and began to push her breasts, which attracted a lot of laughter from the workers, and she was so ashamed that she quickly hugged the child and turned away.
Wang Jinhua hadn't scolded enough yet, but Zhang Dali pulled her back, "Mother, don't you feel ashamed enough? Don't talk about it anymore."
Wang Jinhua felt aggrieved when she heard it, and followed her son away crying, but she could still hear her cursing, "It must be Ye Chengliang, a little bitch, why don't you believe what mother said, I, I will return to you from now on." What hope is there, woo woo woo..."
Zhang Dali was so depressed that his teeth ached from hatred for countless nights.But he didn't know who was trying to make things difficult for him.And the most likely person, the thought of it will make him lie.Thinking of what Li Ermao said at the time, Zhang Dali couldn't help but look back at Ye Chengliang, wondering if he would?
As a result, there is no
The winter in the north is long, and this Hongsha village is very cold from the beginning of November to the end of March of the following year. Basically, it will start to freeze soon after the first snow falls.Ye Chengliang's current plan is to collect all the things that should be harvested while the weather is still warm, and produce a few more snacks when winter comes, and sell them in time for the Chinese New Year, and the price must be wrong no.So Ye Chengliang discussed with Zhang Dazhuang, and finally entrusted Sun Ermeng to collect nuts.Sun Ermeng is Bai Yousheng's cousin, and he is also reliable, and since they have the free labor of Tie Dan, the couple have more time to help, unlike Bai Yousheng's family and Liu Datong's family, now Is too busy to touch the ground.
Tiedan accidentally destroyed Sun Ermeng's family land in order to get Ye Chengliang to take care of it. Later, he used his own seedlings to make up for it, and he had to do farm work for Sun Ermeng's family for free. Everyone in the village knew about it.
Ye Chengliang explained to Sun Ermeng and his wife carefully what he wanted to collect and the price, including what kind of quality he wanted, and he also gave them a sample, and asked them to accept it according to the sample, almost everything is fine, if the quality is better, the price is slightly higher Some will do.Their reward is twenty Wen a day.Sun Ermeng and his wife felt that the job was easy, so they took it.But it's still early, and the nuts haven't fully grown yet, so the couple only collected sand ginseng at the beginning, because it's the right time to dig this thing.As for the others, they first inquired in the village who grows peanuts and sunflower seeds, went to see the quality of each, ordered several companies with good fruit growth, and then went to the neighboring village to talk about harvesting mountain products.After all, wild things are not as readily available as home-grown ones. In comparison, the number is still limited, so the more people pick them, the better.But there is one more important thing, which should be used at any time, and that is firewood!When the nuts are not available, the firewood can also be sold for money, and it is collected every day!
After such a busy schedule, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching in a blink of an eye, and every family is preparing for the reunion.On the thirteenth day, when Wuweizhai's transport personnel came to collect the Liangpi, Guo Tingan also came along, and brought a lot of snacks made by his own master to Ye Chengliang's family, including moon cakes.As a thank you gift, Ye Chengliang personally cooked for Guo Tingan to have a meal. Except for a vegetarian fried mountain mushroom and secret pan-fried ginseng, the rest of the dishes were all grown by Ye Chengliang himself.Of course, the fish and pheasant are provided by Zhang Dazhuang.
Guo Tingan is in the business of selling food, what hasn't he eaten all these years?But let alone, the dishes made by Ye Chengliang felt fresh to him, especially the secret fried sand ginseng.To be honest, they originally regarded this thing as medicinal material, how many people would eat this?I always feel that no matter how I cook it, it is not a serious taste, but when Jing Ye Chengliang fried it with his hands, there was a hint of softness in the sweetness, but it was still a bit chewy in the mouth, making people unable to stop eating it.There is also that little pheasant spicy stewed potatoes, fragrant, that is really fragrant!If you eat it accidentally, you can bite your tongue.
Situ Chenfei, He Yan, and Hai Qing were also invited to have dinner together, but there are many rules in the ancients, so He Yan and Hai Qing, as the younger generations, did not go to the table, but went to rub Li Jinge and Shi Ling at the same table. Only Situ Chenfei, Guo Tingan, Zhang Dazhuang and Ye Chengliang were at the table.Situ Chenfei said: "If I knew it earlier, I should have asked Da Zhuang to pay me back with Ah Liang. It's really cheap for him."
Zhang Dazhuang glared at Situ Chenfei, "Am I that kind of person? Besides, my A-Liang is a priceless treasure, and I can't afford that little money."
Guo Tingan didn't care about this, he is a businessman, and now his mind is on making money, so he asked Ye Chengliang, "Brother Aliang, how do you make this pumpkin cake? It tastes good. If you give me a recipe, I plan to eat it in my own restaurant." do some here."
Ye Chengliang's invitation to Guo Ting'an to eat must not only be to thank him for his snacks, he said: "It's possible, and there's nothing difficult about it. But how does Brother Guo feel about eating this ginseng?"
Guo Ting'an said: "Okay, I was just thinking about whether I should let people charge some. You don't know, there are not a few restaurants like Wuweizhai here. If you want to stay in the hearts of customers, you have to do it from time to time." Introduce some new tricks. This is like eating at home. If you eat one dish every time, everyone will get bored. To be honest, a restaurant called Feng Lai Ke, which stands in the same breath as my Wuweizhai, recently launched a new dessert. , it can make snacks and dishes, and it really attracts some customers from Wuweizhai, but it makes me worry to death."
Ye Chengliang said "Oh?", "Brother Guo, have you tried that dish?"
Guo Tingan said: "I have tasted it, but the chef in my restaurant can only taste eggs and bean paste in the dish, but he can't make it."
Ye Chengliang has eaten countless delicacies. What Guo Tingan said, he always felt that it was very similar to the snow-clothed bean paste that his best friends in his previous life loved. So he asked: "Is it the golden yellow skin on the outside, which tastes like an egg when you bite it? Wrapped with red bean paste?"
Guo Tingan nodded when he heard the words, "That's right. This dish is called Xueyi Bean Paste. Brother Ah Liang has eaten it before?"
Ye Chengliang smiled, "I've tried it. It's not difficult to make, it just takes some effort. I'll let Da Zhuang write down the method later, and you can let the chef know it."
Guo Tingan had a Coke now, "Okay, okay, this is great. Let me tell you that my trip will not be in vain. Brother Aliang, you have helped me a lot." After saying that, he pouted at Situ Chenfei, "Before, I was always beaten by this stinking beauty, but now he has finally done a great deed, that is, let me know you."
Situ Chenfei stared at him, and stomped Guo Tingan's foot under the table, "Fatty, I only eat your meals a few times, how dare you remember it for so long!"
Guo Tingan gritted his teeth in pain, and couldn't touch his feet on the dining table, so he finally had to move his chair back, and his feet followed suit.But he still didn't forget to talk about business after the pain became like this, "Brother Ah Liang, do you have this ginseng here?"
Ye Chengliang chuckled, "I've collected a lot, Brother Guo, do you want to take it?"
Guo Ting'an made a decision, "It must be accepted, and this is what sells fresh. How much do you have, I will arrange someone to come when I go back."
Zhang Dazhuang: "About a hundred and eighty catties, this thing is not easy to find."
Guo Tingan felt that this was too little, but it was better than nothing, so he said: "Then when I go back, I will take it back with me. What about the price, how about [-]% higher than the market price?"
Ye Chengliang didn't object, and asked He Yan to help put the ginseng on the scale after the meal, and asked Zhang Dazhuang to write down the recipes for snowy bean paste and pumpkin pie with him.When Ye Chengliang handed the prescription to Guo Tingan, Guo Tingan accepted it like a baby, and asked Ye Chengliang when he married Zhang Dazhuang.After asking, he happily took his things and left.
Zhang Dazhuang said: "Daughter-in-law, you are really a genius."
Ye Chengliang: "What happened to me?"
Zhang Dazhuang said with a smile: "You didn't ask Brother Guo for the recipe for the snow-clothed bean paste and the recipe for the pumpkin cake. Didn't you just want to give him a favor? You know how happy he is. Just now he asked us if we were married." Days, this red envelope must be a big deal."
Ye Chengliang whispered to Zhang Dazhuang in a low voice, "Just know this kind of thing in your heart, it's so boring to say it!"
Zhang Dazhuang nodded hurriedly, "It makes sense!"
Guo Ting'an brought a lot of snacks, so Ye Chengliang packed some for Li Zheng's family after dinner at night, only then did he know that Sun Jie had written to his family, saying that it was from a family surnamed Wen who now lives in Beiling Mansion , the family was very warm to him, thanked Boss Guo for his kindness, and also thanked Ye Chengliang and Zhang Dazhuang for their help.Now it's almost time to publish the results. Although he can't go home to spend this festival with his family, he thinks he did well in the test this time!
Li was reading the letter over and over again, almost memorizing the contents.
Zhao Jing was also very happy, but she didn't forget to thank Ye Chengliang, "Ah Liang, did you bring anything with you when you said you came, did you treat my aunt as an outsider? You helped me with my family's Sun Jie. I don't know how to thank you."
Ye Chengliang smiled and said: "Boss Guo from the county brought it when he came. I'll give you and my uncle a taste."
Farmers seldom buy mooncakes during festivals, which are very precious.Zhao Jing was not willing to eat it, and took a long time to take a sip.At this moment, Li was saying, "Ah Liang, Uncle has something to inquire about."
Ye Chengliang: "Uncle, tell me."
Lizheng put the letter away and said: "You and Da Zhuang are not married yet, and your account is not from our Hongsha Village. It's almost time to collect taxes. Uncle thought, are you taking Is the date of marriage with Da Zhuang brought forward, or what should I do?"
Ye Chengliang really didn't think about this problem, and asked: "If it doesn't come in advance, what's the problem?"
Li Zheng said: "It's just paying an extra tax. Now that you have land in our Hongsha Village, you have to pay mu tax, which you have to pay no matter what. And if you live here, you have to pay poll tax If you and Da Zhuang are a couple, a family, then you only need to pay a corvee tax, but you are not a couple now, and you have not settled down in Hongsha Village, so you and Da Zhuang each have to pay Pay the corvee tax."
Ye Chengliang knew that when Zhang Dazhuang went to serve in corvee, the corvee tax was [-] cash per person, and the head tax was [-] cash per person, but he didn't know how much it was now.This thing is also bullish every year, not always static.
Li Zheng said: "This year's corvee tax is 280 renminbi per person, and the poll tax is still 620 renminbi per person. The sum is exactly [-] renminbi, and the tax your family has to pay this year is [-] renminbi."
Ye Chengliang expressed that he understood, and was about to say that he and Da Zhuang's marriage date will not change.As a result, before he could say anything, he heard someone knock on the door outside. As soon as he spoke, the three people in the room looked at each other in dismay, but they said that it wasn't Chen Qiufeng who was coming from outside?
Chen Qiufeng also didn't want to come this trip, but she was really uneasy.It seems that Zhang Dali has been out for two months, why is there no news about him?At the beginning, I sent two letters to my family, and then there was no sound.If it is not the first time this year that Shangfucheng rushes to take the exam, why do you often write letters last year, but not this year?
Everyone in the family jumped their right eyelids together, and Chen Qiufeng guessed if something happened to Zhang Dali, so she wanted to ask Li Zheng if Sun Jie had mentioned Zhang Dali in his letter.If not, at least when Lizheng wrote back to Zhang Dali, she would ask her to help.
Lizheng didn't like to see Zhang Dali's family very much, but as Lizheng should do to save face, if there was a problem in the village, he had to solve it, so he asked his wife to open the door and let Chen Qiufeng in.
As soon as Chen Qiufeng entered the room and saw Ye Chengliang, her face was a bit ugly at the time, but now she couldn't care less, and just asked Zhao Jing, "Auntie, did Sun Jie write?"
Zhao Jing said, "Here you are, and you said you did well in the exam."
Chen Qiufeng hurriedly asked: "Then he mentioned my Dali?"
Zhao Jing shook her head, looked at Li Zheng, "Did Dali not be mentioned in the letter?"
Li Zheng said: "No." Seeing Chen Qiufeng's anxious face, he said: "Your family has not heard from Dali for quite a while."
If there is a letter, the courier will send it to Lizheng's house, and then Lizheng will send someone to pick it up, or send it to him if he is on the way, so Lizheng will be absolutely clear whether anyone in the village has a letter or not.
Chen Qiufeng said in his heart that this is not nonsense, but he dared not show the slightest displeasure on his face, and asked in a good voice: "Auntie, can you and my uncle ask me about Dali's situation when you reply to the letter again? "
Li Zheng said: "It's done, it just so happens that I haven't written this letter yet."
Chen Qiufeng thanked her, and when she left, she gave Ye Chengliang a hard look, her eyes seemed to say, if my Dali doesn't pass the exam, I will never end with you!
Ye Chengliang also replied with his eyes: Master is waiting.
After Chen Qiufeng went out, Zhao Jing asked Lizheng in a low voice, "Isn't something wrong with Zhang Dali? I remember that he and Sun Jie went to rush for the exam last time, and he wrote back every few days. Didn't the letter say where he lives? Appreciation, or because she has met some wealthy friends, then Wang Jinhua can't wait to show the contents of the letter in front of the whole village, but there is really not much news this year."
Li Zheng glared at the words, "I'm not that heavenly god, how would I know. Let's ask our son."
Ye Chengliang saw that Lizheng's desire to gossip was raging, so he quickly said that he would not change the date of marriage and pay taxes normally, and then left.Before I went far, I heard Zhao Jing say in the room: "Look at this Ah Liang, he never comes back empty-handed, and he has to help me when he sees me working. It's not like that Chen Qiufeng, who comes to trouble people with empty hands, so shameless." thick!"
Lizheng said: "What kind of mother-in-law recruits what kind of daughter-in-law."
Ye Chengliang stumbled when he heard the words, and thought to himself, could it be that I look like Li Jinge recently? !
After returning home, Ye Chengliang's first question was to ask Zhang Dazhuang, "Am I acting like an old lady recently?"
Zhang Dazhuang was taken aback when he heard this, "You don't look like a big lady, you look like a big girl."
Ye Chengliang chased Zhang Dazhuang with a broom and beat him around!Seeing Li Jinge almost laughed out of breath.
Later, Zhang Dazhuang knew what Ye Chengliang was asking, so he said seriously: "Mother used to be very popular in our village, but after her father was gone, she was busy working to make money, so she didn't have much contact with people. "
Ye Chengliang glanced at Li Jinge who entered the room and continued to work, hooked his fingers at Zhang Dazhuang, and asked in a low voice, "How is Zhang Dali doing now?"
Zhang Dazhuang compared his index finger to his lips, "Say it in the night."
In fact, it's really nothing special, but Zhang Dazhuang has been unkind recently, always hooking Ye Chengliang with these questions, and he won't tell Ye Chengliang until he is full.Ye Chengliang couldn't handle this, so every day he had to sell himself for the most serious things, what a thug.
Zhang Dazhuang said: "After Zhang Dali was thrown into Guaibazi Village, he slept with a widow in her 30s and changed into women's clothes. Later, he begged all the way to Beiling Mansion, and finally met some people he knew. About this time When I arrive at Luhe, I think I will be back in a few days."
Ye Chengliang said in a daze, "Tsk, he deserves it, but if Wang Jinhua knows that he has been kidnapped, he has to do something."
Zhang Dazhuang played with Ye Chengliang's hair, "That's not necessarily the case. There was news from Hezhi that one of the scholars who went to Beiling Mansion to take the exam this time had a surname Zhao, who had something to do with Zhang Dali back then, and he won the exam this time." The possibility is very high. There is one thing you probably don’t know. At first, King Rong wanted to change the county magistrate of our Anping County. He has not moved so far but is waiting for the results of the imperial examination this time. He probably wants to choose a character with a guarantee. Whoever made Situ Chenfei is in our county. I guess, if this kid surnamed Zhao wins the election, the possibility of coming to our Anping County as the county magistrate is not low. If that is the case, Zhang Dali's future has come to an end."
Ye Chengliang: "Why didn't Sun Jie come to be this official?"
Zhang Dazhuang: "The kid's merit test is to exempt his family's land from taxes. He said before that he doesn't want to be an official."
Ye Chengliang: "..."
Zhang Dazhuang: "What?"
Ye Chengliang: "It's nothing, I just feel that your friend's ambition is always so... so unpredictable." As a genius doctor, Situ Chenfei just wants to be a quiet beauty, and as Li Zheng's son, he is quite knowledgeable. But I only thought about farming.
Fortunately, at least Liu Datong and the others are normal.
Just after thinking about it, Zhang Dazhuang said: "What is this, do you know what Ermeng's ideal is?"
Ye Chengliang: "What?"
Zhang Dazhuang: "When he was young, he said that he wanted to be a tortoise in a brothel when he grew up."
Ye Chengliang: "!!!"
That was a long time ago. At that time, Sun Ermeng was not much taller than the bucket. He also heard that the tortoise in the brothel saw a lot of beauties every day, and the guests gave him a lot of money. Such a heartless ideal came, and it was long forgotten later.Now Sun Ermeng is a good hand at work, and he is quite smart, and he has really helped Ye Chengliang a lot.
On this day, Ye Chengliang got a lot of sand ginseng from Sun Ermeng, and then got a batch of peanuts.The peanuts are still fresh and have not been dried, but there is not much soil on the outside of the shell, and they are still big. Once you peel off the skin and the kernels are full, you can see that they are ready-made.Ye Chengliang thought it was good, so he kept them all, and asked Sun Ermeng to continue to help collect some.
Sun Ermeng took the money and didn't leave in a hurry. He said with a smile, "Ah Liang, Da Zhuang, have you heard? Zhang Dali came back last night when it was just getting dark."
Ye Chengliang and Zhang Dazhuang looked at each other, "I haven't heard of it, how do you know?"
Sun Ermeng said: "Didn't I go to collect peanuts this morning? Aunt Liu of that kind of peanuts said it. Her house is not far from Zhang Dali's house. When the peanuts came out, I sent some to Zhang Dali's house. In fact, it was I wanted to find out how Zhang Dali was doing in the exam. Guess what happened? She was about to leave after delivering the peanuts when Zhang Dali came back. I failed to take the exam. But Wang Jinhua was so scared that she almost passed out at that time."
Zhang Dazhuang said with a smile: "That's too bad. Didn't she keep her son Zhongju out of the house for several days?"
Sun Er nodded sharply, "No, so this person really can't have bad intentions, God can watch, I see how her nostrils will be turned up in the future, and she will look superior to everyone she sees."
The news in the village spread quickly. Zhang Dali came back last night, and everyone in the village knew about it by noon the next day.Anyway, when Ye Chengliang heard people say it again, it turned out that Zhang Dali had a relationship with a prostitute in Beiling Mansion, and in the end the prostitute patted his ass and left after draining his money.
Ye Chengliang felt that it was a pity that the people who spread the news did not write novels.If he writes, he must spend money to buy two books to pass the time.Intuit talented!
But speaking of it, God is kind enough to let Zhang Dali rush home in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
This festival is Ye Chengliang's first relatively big festival since he crossed over. Although there was a Dragon Boat Festival before, but at that time, he was full of thoughts about how to make money and didn't even remember the date, so this time he had to live it well.
Ye Chengliang and Li Jinge let the transportation team take away half of the sugar and Liangpi that was less than usual, and then started cooking, making a table full of dishes for a good meal.But this time the family is not just three people.Ye Chengliang stared at the four children standing in a row from low to high like steps in front of him. He knew Zhang Hezhi.
Li Jinge: "..."
The youngest one raised his face and tugged at Zhang Hezhi's sleeve, and asked childishly, "Brother, why are you staring at me?"
The third child said: "Brother, mother is really good-looking, and she is also good-looking when she stares at people."
The second child said, "Brother, our mother seems to be a man."
Ye Chengliang: "..."
Seeing Ye Chengliang frowned, Zhang Hezhi patted his younger brothers with a smile, "Mother is a boy, you can just call him foster father from now on."
The youngest half hid behind Zhang Hezhi in fear, and said timidly: "But I want mother, can I call him mother?"
Ye Chengliang: "He knows, these are your father's children?"
Zhang Hezhi said very clearly: "Yes foster father, we are all adopted by father."
Ye Chengliang nodded, "Come on, follow me to wash your hands, we will have a reunion dinner together later, and we will talk about other things later."
Zhang Hezhi signaled his younger brothers to follow quickly, and asked, "Father, where's dad?"
Ye Chengliang scooped some water into the basin for the children, "It fell into the latrine."
two three four:"……"
The second child is Zhang Xingzhi, seven years old.The third child is Zhang Qianzhi, five years old.The fourth child is Zhang Lizhi, who is three years old.Putting the middle characters of the four children together is the homonym of "crane travels thousands of miles", which is relatively easy to remember.And the fourth child has a cute nickname, Xiao Lizi, but he looks like a ripe peach, pink and tender.
When the four children finished washing their hands and were about to go back to the eating place with Ye Chengliang, Zhang Dazhuang "crawled" out of the latrine, and the four children all called daddy, and Xiao Lizi raised his face and asked, "Daddy, did you die?" Is it in the latrine?"
Zhang Dazhuang: "Who said that?"
Zhang Lizhi: "Mother said so."
Zhang Dazhuang: "I'm kidding you, dad is going to pick this." He lifted the small bowl in his hand, and it turned out that it contained the last crop of raspberries.
The children had never eaten this thing, and when Ye Chengliang finished washing the bowl of raspberries, they immediately looked at Ye Chengliang eagerly.But Ye Chengliang only let them each take one to taste, and then put it on the table.Zhang Hezhi taught his younger brothers, "Let grandma eat first, and then we will eat."
Before Li Jinge recovered from the sudden incident of having four more grandchildren, the children came back with their fathers.Li Jinge looked at this, then at that, and then asked Zhang Dazhuang, "Da Zhuang, did you adopt these from outside?"
Zhang Dazhuang said: "Yes, mother." After that, let the children call grandma.
The children called out one by one, and the reunion dinner seemed to be more complete.
Ye Chengliang had met Zhang Hezhi before, and knew that this kid was reliable. Although the other three were still young, they seemed to teach well.At least he looks like it.In fact, to raise a child, you must have a deep relationship after raising it for a long time. At the beginning, you will definitely not have too much deep parental affection. This means that he is a big man who looks 30 years old in his heart. If he is really only 16 years old , that would be embarrassing.
Zhang Dazhuang didn't tell Ye Chengliang in advance that these children would come, because Zhang Dazhuang himself didn't expect that Zhang Hezhi would have free time so soon.His eldest son is quite capable, and he has a lot of things to do on weekdays, so it's not so easy to see him once.
Ye Chengliang doesn't care anymore, there are few fun in ancient times, and being busy making money every day is quite boring to be honest. It would be nice to have a few children, but what Zhang Dazhuang thinks, he still wants to ask clearly, "Do you want them to live in the future?" Is it here?"
Because of the large number of children, Li Jinge felt that they were all cute, so he took her to sleep with her. Zhang Dazhuang and Ye Chengliang only brought a little plum.Xiao Lizi was still young, when he heard that he was going to be separated from his father, Ye Chengliang simply hugged him into his room.
Xiao Lizi had already slept soundly at the moment, Zhang Dazhuang said: "It depends on what you think. If you like them to stay here, you can stay here. If you don't like them, they have a place to go. The key is that you are so busy all day, if your family I’m worried that you won’t be able to handle the addition of these little things. I didn’t want them to come over at first, but these children haven’t seen me for a long time, and I heard that He Zhi has a mother, so I’ve been thinking about it, so I Let them take a look."
Ye Chengliang covered Xiao Lizi with a quilt, hesitated for a moment and said: "Let's stay, I think the aunt likes them very much. Besides, if they were sent away, I would feel uncomfortable. Anyway, there is no shortage of food and clothing at home now. , and they are all boys, easy to feed."
When Zhang Dazhuang heard this, he couldn't help but put Ye Chengliang in his arms, "Ah Liang, how can you be so nice!"
Ye Chengliang: "What a fart! Let them feed the chicken tomorrow!"
Zhang Dazhuang smiled and sucked Ye Chengliang's earlobe, knowing that he was deliberately angry with him, so he didn't take it to heart, and instead said: "We will get married when the autumn harvest is over, and I will go out later to take The money owed to Situ Chenfei and King Rong has been settled, and our family will live happily ever after."
Ye Chengliang immediately became worried, "What are you going to do with so much money? Don't wait for you to come back and my front teeth will all fall out!"
Zhang Dazhuang almost didn't spit it out, let's assume that Ye Chengliang was reluctant to leave by himself, so he hurriedly said, "What's the matter? I'll be back in half a month at most."
Ye Chengliang didn't ask any more questions, because he knew that Zhang Dazhuang also had some things that were inconvenient to say.Anyway, as long as the money can be repaid, he can still trust Zhang Dazhuang's character.
In fact, if it wasn't for Ye Chengliang, Zhang Dazhuang would have done it long ago.But right now he didn't leave because he was worried about Ye Chengliang's safety.The one who went out among the well diggers was followed by someone before, but he lost him after only two days of success. Up to now, Zhang Dazhuang and Zhang Hezhi don't know where the other party went. Now they can only confirm where Human beings are from Shuliang country, and others are unknown.Fortunately, the coachman who pretended to be dumb is in their hands, and he has been asking for a lot of useful information intermittently these days.
Early the next morning, Zhang Hezhi bid farewell and left when it was still daylight. The three younger ones were very depressed for a while when they woke up and didn't see their elder brother, but they were soon distracted by Ye Chengliang with other things. .
Ye Chengliang took a group of boys to watch the piglets, dig potatoes, and also took them to dig sweet potatoes, break sticky corn, and baked sweet potatoes and corn for them to eat.After eating it for half a day, the children still remember that there is a big brother, but that the sweet potatoes in their hands are very sweet and the corn is very sticky!
Li Jinge had fallen asleep with the youngest in his arms, and the other two went to play with Niuniu and Xiaotong.The children have good natures, and Niuniu is a good big sister, so they played together in a short time.
Ye Chengliang and Zhang Dazhuang stared at the sugar in the workshop, and the chicken house bought by Lu Tiezhu's family was now steaming corn flakes and glutinous rice.Since they moved out, it has become a complete No. [-] workshop. Ye Chengliang also had people add stoves and pots in it, so now there are ten sugar pots in total, but the stove was added later. The upper pot has not been fully smelted, and it will take a few days before it can be used to steam things.
Zhang Dazhuang took off the special flat plate on the top of several pots, stirred the sugar below to prevent them from sticking to the pot, and then said to Ye Chengliang: "Ah Liang, we will get married next month. You have to prepare the things you need, Xifu, what do you want?"
Ye Chengliang said: "Just be the same as you."
Zhang Dazhuang wrote it down, and said: "Sister-in-law Shi Ling said that when we get married, she will let you go out from her house."
Ye Chengliang thought about it and said, "Isn't that necessary? We've all lived together for such a long time, do we still pay attention to this? Of course, it doesn't matter if it has to be like this. Just look at the arrangements."
Zhang Dazhuang said: "Then directly pray to heaven and earth?"
Ye Chengliang said: "Okay!"
As soon as the words were finished, a noisy voice came from outside, Wang Jinhua pulled her neck and shouted: "Ye Chengliang, you shameless vixen, come out to me! You little bitch, you asked me to send some shit Swear! My family was kidnapped vigorously by the gangsters, did you instigate someone to make you a piece of shit that cost a thousand knives!"
Ye Chengliang slammed down the malt basin, "What do you do to me now that I'm out? The cursing and cursing are just a few things, can you have something new? And it's none of my business that your son didn't pass the exam! It's him You have the nerve to come out and shout to everyone if you don’t have the skills? Your skin is thicker than a pit!”
Wang Jinhua knew that Ye Chengliang was quick-spoken, but it was really unpleasant for her not to scold her today.Well, my son went to Fucheng to rush for the exam, but he didn't even touch the edge of the paper, and was stolen by someone without even leaving a piece of clothing!This wait will take another three years, and I don't know if it's because of scaring or what, her son is so timid when he comes back this trip, he doesn't even want to go out!
Zhang Dazhuang went out to put Xiao Lizi in the house, showed Tang to his mother, and followed him out.No matter what, you can't let people scold your daughter-in-law, right?
Wang Jinhua saw Zhang Dazhuang obliterated her own shadow as soon as he came out, and was so burly and scary, so she shrank back, "You, why are you at home?!" Didn't they all go to the mountains to break corn?
Zhang Dazhuang sneered, "Why can't I be at home? All the land in my house has been rented out for help to clean up. I will stay at home and watch over my family's Liang. I am willing! Your family's Zhang Dali is not capable and he failed to pass the exam to shut down my family's Liang. What's the matter? I don't do good deeds on weekdays, but I'm ashamed to come out and scold others. If you want me to say, God didn't let your son pass the exam just because your mouth is too stinky."
Wang Jinhua was so angry when she heard that, she immediately sat down on the ground and cried, "Fellow folks, please judge, what kind of thing is this Ye Chengliang? My son couldn’t pass the exam, what do you think he’s worried about? He’s from the same village, so he obviously doesn’t like my family’s strength. In order for Dali to pass the exam, I chant Buddha’s name at home every day, and I don’t even leave the house. , Why did the gangsters arrest him? My Dali has never offended anyone. It's him!" Wang Jinhua pointed at Ye Chengliang with red eyes, "It's him, a vixen, it must be him, there is no one else except him! "
Niu Niu let out a loud voice when she heard the crisp voice: "Bah!" Then she pinched her waist and said, "You are too old to be ashamed, it is clear that you first spoke ill of Uncle A Liang and spread rumors so that you have to swear, It's too embarrassing to rely on others!"
Wang Jinhua glared sharply, "You little bastard, you don't have the right to interrupt when adults are talking! There are no rules at all!"
At this time, Chen Qiufeng pulled Wang Jinhua with red eyes, "Mother, don't talk about it." After speaking, she looked at Zhang Dazhuang with tears in her eyes, bit her lips and said, "Da Zhuang, I'm sorry for what happened back then. , if you have any resentment, you can come to me, can you not let your family Ye Chengliang get in trouble with us?"
Zhang Dazhuang laughed with a "hehe", and his smile was very cold, "A piece of Liangpi is worth more than you in the hearts of A Liang and I. I can't live with you? Are you putting money on your face too much? Your Zhang Dali didn't test You just didn’t pass the exam, why can’t you blame the latrine for not being able to shit? And speaking of it, I have to thank you, if you didn’t regret your marriage at the beginning, where would I have the chance to get together with Ah Liang?”
When Chen Qiufeng heard that the fists under the sleeves were tightly clenched, she raised her eyes and looked at Zhang Dazhuang pitifully, with tears in her eyelashes, which made the well-digging workers feel itchy in their hearts.The master who asked them to work was good-looking, but unfortunately he was a boy. This one is not as good as it is now, but she is a full-fledged woman, and this young woman knows how to serve men best.It's a pity that the innocence is just pretending at first glance, and you can tell that you are a whore inside by looking at your eyes.
Wang Jinhua grabbed Chen Qiufeng, and was very dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law's way of pretending to be pitiful to attract a bunch of men to see her as an adulterer. She pinched her secretly and said, "Take care of your eyeballs, be careful not to fly out!"
Chen Qiufeng still wanted to say something, but Zhang Dali came out with the child in his arms, and the child kept crying, probably because he was hungry.
Sure enough, when Zhang Dali saw Chen Qiufeng, he said viciously: "The child is looking for a mother, why didn't you take her with you when you came out? I can't live in peace at home because of the noise."
Chen Qiufeng immediately took the child, and the child closed his eyes and began to push her breasts, which attracted a lot of laughter from the workers, and she was so ashamed that she quickly hugged the child and turned away.
Wang Jinhua hadn't scolded enough yet, but Zhang Dali pulled her back, "Mother, don't you feel ashamed enough? Don't talk about it anymore."
Wang Jinhua felt aggrieved when she heard it, and followed her son away crying, but she could still hear her cursing, "It must be Ye Chengliang, a little bitch, why don't you believe what mother said, I, I will return to you from now on." What hope is there, woo woo woo..."
Zhang Dali was so depressed that his teeth ached from hatred for countless nights.But he didn't know who was trying to make things difficult for him.And the most likely person, the thought of it will make him lie.Thinking of what Li Ermao said at the time, Zhang Dali couldn't help but look back at Ye Chengliang, wondering if he would?
As a result, there is no
