Crossing the Farmland Happy Events
Chapter 90 Why haven't you left yet?
After pondering in my heart for a long time, the few suitable candidates I came up with are completely useless at the moment, and the villagers are angry and scolding.He, Zhang Guangshan, is only capable of this idea, but if you can escape the first day of junior high school, can you still escape the fifteenth day?Can you live in the county all the time?If you have the ability, don't come back for the rest of your life!
"Or... I think so." The patriarch of the Sun family said: "Let's choose a representative to come out first. It's not good for everyone to have someone to find, isn't it?"
"That's a good idea, I agree!"
"I agree!"
"But who will be in charge in this generation? What if Zhang Guangshan comes back in two days and moves out the Master Registrar, won't the generation offend someone? Then what shall we do?"
When everyone heard it, it was true, and they couldn't help but fell silent for a while.
"Why don't we set a time limit." Ye Chengliang said: "For example, three or five days. If people don't come back within this time limit, let's choose a representative to come out first. Even if someone asks you when the time comes, we have a reason. .The village can’t even have a person in charge.”
"Let's do it for three days. If Zhang Guangshan doesn't come back within three days, let's choose a Dai Lizheng first. What do the villagers think?"
"This is good!"
In the end, the matter was settled like this, the group dispersed, and it was agreed that if Zhang Guangshan did not come back in three days, they would gather here again and choose a representative to come out.In fact, the post of Li Zheng was not very useful until tax collection and personnel disputes occurred. Therefore, even though Zhang Guangshan was not there, Hongsha Village was still in order, and everyone was busy with whatever they should be busy with.
On this day, Zhang Dazhuang led people into the mountain to quarry rocks. Ye Chengliang saw that Li Jinge was busy in the yard, so he said, "Mother, today is a good day. I will go to the backyard to pick and slice the remaining cucumbers and dry them in the sun." Sun, it’s good to make pickles in winter.”
Li Jinge hurriedly said: "Okay, then you go." After that, he continued to dry clothes on the clothesline.Ever since she cut off her hand while cooking, Ah Liang never let her touch knives and scissors again, for fear that she would accidentally hurt herself again, so she stopped arguing with the child.
Ye Chengliang took Xiao Lizi into the vegetable garden, first fed the pigs, and then took a basket and picked all the remaining cucumbers except for the seeds.There are few dishes here in winter, last year he prepared pickles and didn't eat much, but Li Jinge kept saying that those pickles were good, even Shi Ling and Li Yufen often came to her to ask for some, so this year he plans to make Get more, after all, there are too many people in the family.
Little Lizi wanted to help even a little kid, so he helped Ye Chengliang carry the basket.Ye Chengliang saw that it was too hard for him to lift, so he asked him to put the five into another basket every time he picked five, and put the basket on the ground without lifting, so that the child would not be tired and could be with him. Playing is also very good.Xiao Lizi wiped off his sweat, "Mom, when can we eat our sweet potatoes?"
Ye Chengliang counted the days and said, "You must see another [-] sunrises."
Xiao Lizi pouted, "It's been so long."
Ye Chengliang smiled, "What's wrong with my son? Are you hungry?"
Little Lizi bit her index finger, looked up at Ye Chengliang, "Well, yesterday, sister Niuniu made sugar cakes yesterday, she ate them for me, they were delicious."
Ye Chengliang laughed, "Boy, why don't you just say that you want to eat sugar cakes. But the sugar cakes need to be baked, so I'll make them for you tomorrow, and today, I'll make you some other snacks."
Xiao Lizi put the basket on the ground and hugged Ye Chengliang's thigh, "Mom is the best!"
Ye Chengliang poked his youngest son's steamed face, "You are just like your father, you can always pick good things to say."
Little Lizi squinted his eyes and laughed so hard that his teeth could not see. So Ye Chengliang washed all the cucumbers in a basin and drained the water in the drain basket. After that, he took Xiao Lizi to the backyard to pick the biggest pumpkin, and then put the pumpkin Cut it into pieces and steam it, and mix it with glutinous rice flour. When the pumpkin glutinous rice dough was mixed to a moderate degree of softness, he took a small piece and flattened it, put caramel in it, put it together, and fried it in a frying pan!After frying the pumpkin glutinous rice balls, roll them in a sesame bowl, and the golden glutinous rice balls will be covered with a layer of sesame seeds, not to mention how fragrant it smells.
Generally, no one eats deep-fried food in the countryside, because the oil is very expensive, so if you put some in the cooking, your family is in good condition.But his family's life is better now, and it doesn't matter if they eat more oil. Ye Chengliang made such a thing.This is similar to the recipe of the pumpkin pie I told Guo Tingan before, except that it was fried and filled with red bean paste, but here is maltose.It can be said that each has its own characteristics, and children like round things. Ye Chengliang skewered these pumpkin glutinous rice balls, which would be as big as ping pong balls, with chopsticks. It looked fun and delicious. .
Xiao Lizi was so anxious that he jumped up and stretched out his arms to reach, "Mother, give it to me quickly, give it to me!"
Ye Chengliang was afraid that he would be scalded, especially the stuff with sugar core, which would easily get burned when he bit it, so he held it up for a while and blew it before giving it to him, "The sugar inside is still hot, you can eat it bit by bit." Bite, don't go away. Father will make you some more, and then we will give some to Brother Xiaotong and Sister Niuniu."
Xiao Lizi is so beautiful holding the chopsticks, but it is a little regretful that he can't go out for other children to see.His mother is really amazing, the children in the village must be envious of him for being able to make such delicious food!
Ye Chengliang made a few more skewers, put them aside to cool down, washed all the used basins, and then went out with Xiao Lizi.
Xiao Lizi held Ye Chengliang's hand, and looked eagerly at the small bamboo box in Ye Chengliang's hand, "Mother, why can't you eat while walking?"
Ye Chengliang said: "If you pour wind into your stomach, your stomach should hurt."
Xiao Lizi let out an oh, half-understanding, and at this time Liu Datong's family also arrived.Ye Chengliang knew that Bai Yousheng and Liu Datong were not at home, so he didn't enter the house, so he stood outside and let Xiao Lizi go to his house to deliver three skewers.Xiao Tong has already returned home, and he looks similar to before now, but he still takes medicine every day.Xiao Lizi first went to send it to Xiao Tong, then came out again, and entered Bai Yousheng's house. After a while, Niuniu came out with Xiao Lizi and said, "Thank you Uncle A Liang, these pumpkin balls are delicious."
Ye Chengliang smiled, "It's not easy to digest if you eat too much, so don't eat too fast." After speaking, he waved his hand, "Let's go, little Li, go home."
Little Lizi shook Niuniu's hand, "Sister Niuniu..."
Niuniu sighed helplessly, "Uncle A Liang, let Xiao Lizi play at my house for a while, and I'll send him back later, do you think so?"
Ye Chengliang didn't know what his youngest son was thinking. He didn't want to miss studying, and he was bored at home, so he just wanted to play at Niu Niu's house for a while.
Shi Ling just came out from the yard after picking vegetables, and said with a smile: "Ah Liang, you can go back, he will leave me here so that he won't be hungry or tired, and after playing for a while, I'll let him sleep here."
Ye Chengliang thought for a while, "Then let's do it this way, I'm sorry for your trouble, sister-in-law Shi Ling."
It happened that there was still work at home, so Ye Chengliang took the time to go back.On weekdays, Zhang Hezhi can still see this little one, but Zhang Hezhi went to Jieyi Village early this morning.It's been a long time since they returned to Hongsha Village, so I asked Zhang Hezhi to see what's going on there.Ye Chengliang could also tell that Zhang Dazhuang didn't really want to go there, or he would have gone there by himself.
I went to Situ Chenfei's house to see how they were doing there, and saw that Situ Chenfei was extremely speechless.Because his yard has also become a big pit...
In fact, this is not the first time, but someone filled it in time before, but today there is no...
Situ Chenfei sat at the door and said, "If it rains heavily, I can raise fish in my yard."
Ye Chengliang said: "Then they must like you even more."
Situ Chenfei sighed, and Morika came over there.Nader accompanied the two owners to teach the children, and Morika stayed at home because of the bears.Situ Chenfei is good at everything else, but sometimes he is a little timid, so he has to stay and help look after them.
Ye Chengliang asked: "Where's Haiqing?" He was always elusive, and he hadn't seen him for a long time.
Situ Chenfei pointed to the sky, Ye Chengliang thought for a while and understood, he probably went to see the emperor.
Ye Chengliang didn't ask any further questions. Thinking of the children being bitten by mosquitoes at night, he asked Situ Chenfei for some medicine, but the previous ones were used up.
Situ Chenfei said: "When Grandpa Yunqing comes back, ask him. His medicine is better than the one I gave you. I saw him use it when I lived with me for the last two days. I also used Yunqing recently. Grandpa Qing gave it."
Ye Chengliang said in his heart, it's cheap for you, so he got up and went back.He cut all the drained cucumbers into slices and put them in a cool and ventilated place to dry. After that, he fed Datou and Huihui, and while it was still bright, he put Zhang Dazhuang on the clothes that had been worn out while working. The clothes were mended.It's like this in the countryside, a day of busy work on these trivial things, and that's how it goes.
When the children came back in the evening, Ye Chengliang made some pumpkin glutinous rice balls, which the children liked very much.Even Zhang Dazhuang ate a lot, and later he took a walk in the village with Ye Chengliang, and went to Situ Chenfei to ask for medicine.
Mi Suqing said: "Prince Shuliang announced the death of the national teacher after he ascended the throne. This time Haiqing went out and brought back the news."
Ye Chengliang said: "Then you won't be able to go back at all?"
"That's not necessarily true." Zhang Dazhuang glanced at Mi Suqing and Ye Chengliang, "If you really want to go back, you can."
So the two of them thought of Zhang Dazhuang walking the tunnel at the same time, and they couldn't help being silent for a while.After a while Mi Suqing said: "If there is nothing to do, I won't go back. This place is good, it is very suitable for spending my old age, and Yunqing also likes it here."
"By the way, where's Grandpa Yunqing?" Ye Chengliang hasn't seen Yunqing since he came in.
"He, he has something to go out." Speaking of this, Mi Suqing suddenly stuttered for some reason.
"Grandpa, you are really relieved." Ye Chengliang smiled, but just after he finished speaking, he heard a voice from outside.
"Cousin, aphrodisiac!" Yun Qing came in after saying that, and then saw Zhang Dazhuang and Ye Chengliang were stunned for a moment, it was really embarrassing, but after thinking about it again, by the way, it doesn't matter if Ah Liang can't understand Shuliang language Is it?
"Da Zhuang, what do you mean?" Ye Chengliang looked at Zhang Dazhuang with curiosity on his face.
"How dare you say I'm not finished with you!" Yun Qing glared at Zhang Dazhuang immediately!
"Well, I just found some medicinal ingredients." After Zhang Dazhuang finished speaking, he quickly changed the subject, "Grandpa Yunqing, we want some medicine, and the children are always scratched by mosquito bites."
"Wait a minute." After Yun Qing said, he went to find a small blue and white porcelain bottle, "Here, don't use too much, just a little."
After thanking Zhang Dazhuang, he took the bottle and left with Ye Chengliang.After leaving the gate, Ye Chengliang asked again: "What did Grandpa Yunqing say just now?"
"Cousin, aphrodisiac."
"..." Ye Chengliang almost spit out, stroked his chin, "The old man is really young."
"Aren't you stupid? If the real treasured sword is not old, there's no need for aphrodisiac." Zhang Dazhuang lowered his body and whispered to Ye Chengliang: "When I get old, you will know what the real treasured sword is not old."
"Get out!" Ye Chengliang kicked Zhang Dazhuang, walked a few quick steps to distance himself, and then slowed down, "You said it's been several days, why hasn't Zhang Guangshan come back?"
"I'm thinking about what he's doing, and it's better if I don't come back for the rest of my life. And I reckon that the chief secretary's wife may have something to do when she comes back. Otherwise, what would she do when she comes back?"
"That's right. If she can solve the problem with just one word, it won't take so long."
"Well, anyway, his family won't end well." Zhang Dazhuang shook Ye Chengliang's shoulder, "Go get me some clean clothes, I'll take a shower."
"Okay." Ye Chengliang went into the house and searched for a while to find out his clothes, but when he went to the courtyard, he saw Zhang Dazhuang lifted the wooden bucket shirtless and poured water on his body.The water droplets were crystal clear under the moonlight, and on Zhang Dazhuang's bronzed skin, they slid down along his firm texture like a slide, making people want to swallow subconsciously...
This thing must be intentional.
Ye Chengliang stood at the door and stared at it for a while, then walked slowly over to poke Zhang Dazhuang's chest muscles.I don't know if it's because of the hard work in the past few days, but it's much stronger than before, and it's as hard as poking on a wooden board when you poke it.
Zhang Dazhuang grabbed Ye Chengliang's hand, regardless of whether he was wet or not, he directly carried him on his shoulders into the house.
Early the next morning, Zhang Dazhuang got up and cooked breakfast.He didn't know how to make anything special, so he made some porridge, steamed the steamed buns made the night before, and served the pickles made by Ye Chengliang.
Ye Chengliang grinned and got up, seeing that Zhang Dazhuang was ready, but he didn't crawl back into the bed.He took the quilt to dry in the yard, and then went to feed the pigs, chickens and ducks, and the sun rose completely after he was done.
Farmers get up early, especially in this season.Li Jinge woke up all three children, took them to fetch water to wash their faces and hands, and then the whole family had breakfast around a square table.
"Uncle A Liang, are you there?" Niuniu's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Here!" Xiao Lizi finished his sentence first and got off the ground with a thud, and ran out, more active than anyone else, "Sister Niuniu, it's early!"
"Morning, little Lizi, these are sugar cakes baked by my mother. Didn't you say they were delicious yesterday? My sister brought you a few. You can eat with your brothers." Niu Niu handed out the bowl, thought for a while and then said : "Forget it, I'll send it in for you, don't accidentally drop it."
"Niuniu, it's really early." Ye Chengliang had already come out and heard the children talking.He took the things and thanked him, and left Niu Niu for dinner.Niu Niu was very sensible and didn't stay, she took the basket and went back.
"I don't care about this girl no matter how I look at it." Li Jinge said with a smile and then asked: "By the way, when will He Zhi come back?" walk.But as a grandma, she always misses her.
"I should be able to come back today, mother, don't worry." Zhang Dazhuang finished his porridge in twos and twos, got up and said that he was going to go to quarry.Ye Chengliang packed a few steamed buns yesterday, and packed a lot of vegetables for Zhang Dazhuang to bring him.Going into the mountains is not like being in the fields, and it's not easy to deliver meals, so everyone prepares their own lunch, because there are too many people, and Ye Chengliang can't prepare them all.
"If you are tired, take a rest, and I will do the rest when I come back." Before Zhang Dazhuang left, he did not forget to tell Ye Chengliang, "Don't drink any water. I filled the tank in the morning. , I’ll fill it up again when I come back.”
"All right, please go, why are you more wordy than old women?" Ye Chengliang waved his hands without even raising his head, like chasing chickens, he was busy making small cages for a few children.Little Lizi said that he wanted to raise grasshoppers.
"If you don't have a conscience, just throw it away when you're done using it. I'll see how I can deal with you when I get back." Zhang Zaizhuang went out with the things he needed to use.
"Be careful when you work!" Ye Chengliang raised his head and yelled, looking at the back of Zhang Dazhuang waving his hands, the corners of his mouth curved.
"Tsk tsk tsk, look at your face that has been watered." Situ Chenfei sat down next to Ye Chengliang, "What is this?"
"Grasshopper cage. Why are you here?"
"Your idiots are eating meat. I feel bloody and uncomfortable. But recently, their appetite has increased. I heard from Morica that they may have cubs."
"Well, I'll have to trouble you to deliver the baby then." Ye Chengliang said with a serious face.
Situ Chenfei: "..."
Xiao Lizi suddenly rushed in from the outside and said, "Mother, mother, there are officers and soldiers outside!"
Ye Chengliang said: "Oh, what are you here for?"
Xiao Lizi shook his head, and said in a childish voice, "I don't know." He also just watched it before entering the hospital!
Situ Chen flew up, "You can make it up, I'll go out for a walk." After saying that, he took Xiao Lizi out as well.
There really were two officials coming outside, seeing Situ Chenfei, they asked: "Brother, how can I get to Zhang Guangshan's house?"
Situ Chenfei pointed in a direction, "Go here, there are three holes in the beam of his house, it's easy to find." After finishing speaking, he asked, "Brother officials, what are you looking for from his house?"
The official said: "His family, Zhang Guangshan, has broken the law and has been detained. Let's inform his family."
To put it bluntly, he wanted money to redeem someone, Situ Chenfei understood it all at once, and asked again: "What law did you break?"
Seeing that Situ Chenfei was good-looking and well-dressed, the official said bluntly: "Beat the master's family." After speaking, he pointed to a certain place and asked: "Which one is that?" ?”
"No, the hole in this house was made when the swing was hung." Situ Chenfei said: "Forget it, there is nothing left and right, I will take the two of you there. But isn't this Guangshan relative to the master's family? Is it still locked up?"
"It used to be, but it's not anymore." Official Chai A said: "A few days ago, our Master Bookkeeper divorced his wife. Don't you know?!"
"That's right, the original master's wife went back to her mother's house, right?"
"...I did, but they didn't say anything." Situ Chen was overjoyed. So it turned out that the chief secretary's wife was suspended when she came back? !
"She is jealous of the concubine, and the master's son is in suspense. If she doesn't want to stop, who will she marry?" After finishing speaking, Guanchai pointed to another place, "Which one is it?"
"That's right, that's right, it's his house." After speaking, Situ Chenfei stopped, seeing the two knock on the door, he brought Xiao Lizi back to share the news with Ye Chengliang.Hey, Mrs. Zhang is going to have a lot of fun now. Finally, a phoenix flew out of the chicken coop and was sent back to the chicken coop.
Situ Chenfei's guess was right, the two officials came to report the news, on the one hand, and on the other hand, they also wanted the Zhang family to use money to redeem him.Of course, you don't have to redeem it, just keep it closed, and release it when the master master clears the fire.If you have the ability, you can sue the officials. Anyway, the county magistrate and the master both wear a pair of trousers.
When the news was delivered, the two officials left.Zhang Guangshan's daughter-in-law is in a difficult situation.She asked how much it would cost to redeem the person, and the official said that no matter what, it would cost five taels of silver per person.
Five taels of silver!That's the harvest of a whole farmer's family in one or two years!
Zhang Guangshan's son is called Zhang Youtian. He doesn't talk much on weekdays, and his relationship with his wife is neither good nor bad. Most of the time, he is not at home. He either works in the fields or finds a job by himself. He always looks like he doesn't care about family affairs, and sometimes he doesn't go home for ten days and a half months.When someone at home asked, they said they were looking for work outside.But this time his father was imprisoned, so he, as a son, couldn't keep silent anymore, so after hearing what his wife said, he said: "Let's go find the patriarch, if it wasn't because of his family, Dad It’s not like going to jail.”
When Su Huilan heard it, she said, "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up!"
The couple went to find it, and by the way, relayed what the officials said to the patriarch, but the patriarch fainted on the spot when he heard it, and the patriarch's grandsons just called grandpa, but none of them said they would pay for it!
The eldest daughter-in-law of the patriarch said: "Sister-in-law brought some things to the family during the holidays, but never got into our pockets. Five taels of silver, to put it lightly."
The second grandson’s daughter-in-law said: “Exactly, it’s not the cheap Zhang Dali, who gets money for the exam, pays for the exam, and gets money for buying books. The money doesn’t come from chicken butts, so how can there be so much money?” If you want money, go to Wang Jinhua."
The patriarch woke up and just heard this sentence, but there was no scolding.The old man sat up trembling and said, "Yes, yes, go, Arita, you go to Dali, he, he must have a way, you let him come to see me."
Zhang Youtian frowned, so he had no choice but to find him, since he couldn't afford the money.But he also kept his eyes open, and he didn't say much when looking for Zhang Zaili, only that the patriarch was ill.
Zhang Dali was a little skeptical, after all, Zhang Guangshan and his wife entered the county a few days ago, why is the old man suddenly sick now?Could it be that things have changed?Zhang Dali slowed down his pace and said, "Uncle, don't tell me something happened to my cousin?"
Zhang Youtian said: "You will know when you go."
Zhang Dali came out with him, and went back if it was not right or left.Besides, everyone in the Zhang clan knew that the patriarch valued him the most in the past, and it really wouldn't make sense for him not to go.
Zhang Dali is the only scholar in the entire Zhang clan, so no matter how dissatisfied everyone is with him in their hearts on weekdays, most of them will give him a little favor when they meet.The occupants moved aside as soon as he entered.Zhang Dali sat on the kang, and then asked: "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"
The patriarch of the Zhang clan leaned on the quilt, and he spoke out of breath, "Dali, you, your cousin, and your third master have all been arrested. The officials came earlier and said that each person needs five taels of silver to redeem them. Here, what do you think is good?"
Zhang Dali's face suddenly turned into a palette, "Why did you arrest them?"
Su Huilan was the clearest about this matter, and said upon hearing the words: "The official said it. Your cousin pushed your master's concubine into a miscarriage, so she divorced your cousin. After that, your cousin and your third master When you came to the door, there was another dispute, your cousin injured the concubine, and the two were locked up."
Zhang Daxin said that he deserved to be locked up!Even if you are divorced, you still have the face to go back!But I think so, but I absolutely can't say this.In the past, thinking that he had some talents, his cousin took care of his family.But these ten taels of silver are really too much.There is no autumn harvest yet, and every family is in a hurry. Where can I get the money to redeem people?
"How about... In my opinion, we all get together?" Zhang Dali could only say so in the end.
"Yo, how much does it cost?"
"That's right, even if we make up ten families, we still have to get one or two. We don't have that much money."
"Dali, is there no other way?" The patriarch said in embarrassment: "You, you are born in a granary, why don't you talk to the magistrate?"
"This matter is not that simple. The magistrate of the county has to deal with the master every day. How can he not know about this? If he would give me three points, he would not have arrested people in the first place." Zhang Dali thought for a while, but he was also a little powerless .It's not that he can't afford the ten taels of silver.But why should he take the money?Besides, if he really took it, he would have no money.All the savings in the family are still with Chen Qiufeng.Speaking of which, he still had to fetch Chen Qiufeng back, one or two was really not enough to bother him.
"According to me, it's all my grandfather's stubbornness. Otherwise, if Zhang Dazhuang was included in the genealogy, wouldn't the ten taels of silver be enough?" Someone muttered in a low voice, and the people in the room fell silent for a while.Seeing that Zhang Dazhuang's family is getting better and better, these decent relatives are not in the limelight. These people are not without depression, but they are under the pressure of their elders, and they usually dare not say it.
"Yes, genealogy!" But after a moment of silence, Zhang Dali suddenly thought of an idea.He said: "Grandpa, why don't you let Zhang Dazhuang enter the genealogy? Let's let him pay the money. As long as he is willing to pay, how about we let him enter the genealogy? This way everyone can redeem people without taking money." Come out, why not do it?"
"This... let me think about it." The patriarch of the Zhang clan didn't want to see this very much.He felt that if someone who was not from his own family entered the clan, it would be tantamount to breaking the clan law.
"But can Zhang Dazhuang agree to this?" Zhang Daniu felt that this was embarrassing.
"Why not? This is a big deal for him."
In this day and age, people who have not been able to join the clan are also lonely ghosts after death. To put it bluntly, they are rootless, do not know where they came from, and do not know where they are going. There are no people with paper money, so entering the genealogy is a big deal.
Seeing that the old man was still hesitating, Zhang Dali said, "Grandpa, what else are you thinking about? Back then you just thought that Zhang Dazhuang would be included in the genealogy, and his children would also be included, so there will be more in our Zhang clan." A bunch of outsiders with impure blood. But now that Zhang Dazhuang is married to a man, he will not be able to have biological children in the future, and those adopted children will not be able to enter our family tree, right? If he really wants to, then he will If it’s done, let him exchange it with money. If you set a high price then, won’t he still be unable to get in?”
Zhang Daniu looked down on Zhang Dali like this, but he just frowned and didn't speak.
The patriarch of the Zhang clan struggled for a while, finally settled down, and then asked Zhang Dali to go and talk to Zhang Dazhuang about the entry into the family tree.
Zhang Dali didn't want to go at first, but after thinking about it, he really wanted to know what Zhang Hezhi was doing recently, and why he didn't come to him once, so he went early the next morning without even eating. I went to find Zhang Dazhuang, because he had heard that Zhang Dazhuang was going to go to the mountain to quarry very early, and he was afraid that he would not be able to see people if he was too late.
Zhang Dazhuang had just finished his meal and was about to enter the mountain.Zhang Dali stood at the door, cleared his throat and asked, "Is Da Zhuang at home?"
Ye Chengliang poked out his ear and asked Zhang Dazhuang, "Am I an underheard? Why does it seem like Zhang Dali?"
Zhang Dazhuang nodded, "I'll go out and have a look."
Ye Chengliang said: "Let's go together, I also want to know why he came to you. This person never does anything good."
When the couple went out, they saw Zhang Dali lingering at the door. When they saw the two of them coming out, they put on a smile, "Da Zhuang, you're at home. Can you come out for a while? I have something to tell you."
Zhang Dazhuang stood at the door, "Tell me what you have to say." After speaking, Wuzi sat down on the big rock at the gate of the courtyard.
Zhang Dali didn't want to talk too much in his heart, so he cut straight to the point (?) and said: "That's what happened. You went to serve in corvee, and you didn't come back for many years, and you have been busy since you came back, so the genealogy has not been included. Grandpa asked me to ask you if you want to enter the genealogy."
Ye Cheng smiled coldly, "Is there any condition?"
Seeing Ye Chengliang's eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, Zhang Dali twitched his mouth in embarrassment, but if he said no at this moment, he would have to shoot himself in the foot at that moment, so he said, "Grandpa said, as long as the You can pay ten taels of silver."
Ye Chengliang looked at Zhang Dazhuang, "The money is not much, so do you want to buy it?"
Zhang Dazhuang got up and patted his buttocks, "I'm going into the mountains, I don't need any genealogy."
Zhang Dali: "..."
Ye Chengliang nodded, and handed Zhang Dazhuang the things he was going to bring, "Be careful with your work." After speaking, he looked at Zhang Dali, "Did Zhang Xiucai hear that? No need."
Zhang Dali gritted his teeth, thinking that if the money could not be obtained from Ye Chengliang and Zhang Dazhuang, he would have to take some of it, so he bit the bullet and did not leave, standing still and saying: "That's not what you said, if this is not included in the genealogy, you If the child is not formally enrolled in school, he will not be able to get a good name in the exam. Isn't that just farming at home for the rest of his life?"
Ye Chengliang thought about it, but there was always another way.To be honest, let alone spending money on entering Zhang's family tree, he would feel disgusted even if he didn't spend money.What kind of rags come out of this family? !
Zhang Dali thought that Ye Chengliang had listened to what he said, and continued to encourage him, "Also, if you can't pass the exam, you have to pay taxes on your family's land every year. This is a lot of money. And if you want to sell sugar again in the future , it is more convenient to have fame.”
Ye Chengliang felt that Zhang Dali was eloquent, so he said, "What else?"
Zhang Dali said: "Also...you can see the official without kneeling if you have a reputation. If you are guilty, you have to go to the reputation first before you can be punished."
Ye Chengliang nodded, "Thirsty?"
Zhang Dali was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Ye Chengliang entered the hospital, and Zhang Dali waited outside.Zhang Dali thought to himself, is Ye Chengliang easy to talk to, and went to get him water.In the end, after waiting and waiting, Ye Chengliang never came out.Zhang Dali stood outside for a while, wondering if he wanted to get him a pot of tea?Or what's the matter?So he continued to wait.After waiting for a while, no one came out, but the workers laying the foundation outside came to the door.
Zhang Dali gave way and let the workers enter the house, when He Yan came over and asked Zhang Dali, "Zhang Xiucai, why are you here?"
Zhang Dali said: "I'm looking for Ye Chengsha."
He Yan said, "Then why don't you go in?"
Zhang Dali followed He Yan into the house, but he didn't dare to say that there was a dog squatting at the door and he didn't dare to enter.
He Yan shouted, "Ah Liang, where is he?"
Ye Chengliang shouted back: "In the vegetable garden!!!"
He Yan brought Zhang Dali into the vegetable garden, Ye Chengliang saw Zhang Dali was taken aback, and said without thinking, "Why haven't you left yet?!"
Zhang Dali: Didn't you go get me water! ! !
"Or... I think so." The patriarch of the Sun family said: "Let's choose a representative to come out first. It's not good for everyone to have someone to find, isn't it?"
"That's a good idea, I agree!"
"I agree!"
"But who will be in charge in this generation? What if Zhang Guangshan comes back in two days and moves out the Master Registrar, won't the generation offend someone? Then what shall we do?"
When everyone heard it, it was true, and they couldn't help but fell silent for a while.
"Why don't we set a time limit." Ye Chengliang said: "For example, three or five days. If people don't come back within this time limit, let's choose a representative to come out first. Even if someone asks you when the time comes, we have a reason. .The village can’t even have a person in charge.”
"Let's do it for three days. If Zhang Guangshan doesn't come back within three days, let's choose a Dai Lizheng first. What do the villagers think?"
"This is good!"
In the end, the matter was settled like this, the group dispersed, and it was agreed that if Zhang Guangshan did not come back in three days, they would gather here again and choose a representative to come out.In fact, the post of Li Zheng was not very useful until tax collection and personnel disputes occurred. Therefore, even though Zhang Guangshan was not there, Hongsha Village was still in order, and everyone was busy with whatever they should be busy with.
On this day, Zhang Dazhuang led people into the mountain to quarry rocks. Ye Chengliang saw that Li Jinge was busy in the yard, so he said, "Mother, today is a good day. I will go to the backyard to pick and slice the remaining cucumbers and dry them in the sun." Sun, it’s good to make pickles in winter.”
Li Jinge hurriedly said: "Okay, then you go." After that, he continued to dry clothes on the clothesline.Ever since she cut off her hand while cooking, Ah Liang never let her touch knives and scissors again, for fear that she would accidentally hurt herself again, so she stopped arguing with the child.
Ye Chengliang took Xiao Lizi into the vegetable garden, first fed the pigs, and then took a basket and picked all the remaining cucumbers except for the seeds.There are few dishes here in winter, last year he prepared pickles and didn't eat much, but Li Jinge kept saying that those pickles were good, even Shi Ling and Li Yufen often came to her to ask for some, so this year he plans to make Get more, after all, there are too many people in the family.
Little Lizi wanted to help even a little kid, so he helped Ye Chengliang carry the basket.Ye Chengliang saw that it was too hard for him to lift, so he asked him to put the five into another basket every time he picked five, and put the basket on the ground without lifting, so that the child would not be tired and could be with him. Playing is also very good.Xiao Lizi wiped off his sweat, "Mom, when can we eat our sweet potatoes?"
Ye Chengliang counted the days and said, "You must see another [-] sunrises."
Xiao Lizi pouted, "It's been so long."
Ye Chengliang smiled, "What's wrong with my son? Are you hungry?"
Little Lizi bit her index finger, looked up at Ye Chengliang, "Well, yesterday, sister Niuniu made sugar cakes yesterday, she ate them for me, they were delicious."
Ye Chengliang laughed, "Boy, why don't you just say that you want to eat sugar cakes. But the sugar cakes need to be baked, so I'll make them for you tomorrow, and today, I'll make you some other snacks."
Xiao Lizi put the basket on the ground and hugged Ye Chengliang's thigh, "Mom is the best!"
Ye Chengliang poked his youngest son's steamed face, "You are just like your father, you can always pick good things to say."
Little Lizi squinted his eyes and laughed so hard that his teeth could not see. So Ye Chengliang washed all the cucumbers in a basin and drained the water in the drain basket. After that, he took Xiao Lizi to the backyard to pick the biggest pumpkin, and then put the pumpkin Cut it into pieces and steam it, and mix it with glutinous rice flour. When the pumpkin glutinous rice dough was mixed to a moderate degree of softness, he took a small piece and flattened it, put caramel in it, put it together, and fried it in a frying pan!After frying the pumpkin glutinous rice balls, roll them in a sesame bowl, and the golden glutinous rice balls will be covered with a layer of sesame seeds, not to mention how fragrant it smells.
Generally, no one eats deep-fried food in the countryside, because the oil is very expensive, so if you put some in the cooking, your family is in good condition.But his family's life is better now, and it doesn't matter if they eat more oil. Ye Chengliang made such a thing.This is similar to the recipe of the pumpkin pie I told Guo Tingan before, except that it was fried and filled with red bean paste, but here is maltose.It can be said that each has its own characteristics, and children like round things. Ye Chengliang skewered these pumpkin glutinous rice balls, which would be as big as ping pong balls, with chopsticks. It looked fun and delicious. .
Xiao Lizi was so anxious that he jumped up and stretched out his arms to reach, "Mother, give it to me quickly, give it to me!"
Ye Chengliang was afraid that he would be scalded, especially the stuff with sugar core, which would easily get burned when he bit it, so he held it up for a while and blew it before giving it to him, "The sugar inside is still hot, you can eat it bit by bit." Bite, don't go away. Father will make you some more, and then we will give some to Brother Xiaotong and Sister Niuniu."
Xiao Lizi is so beautiful holding the chopsticks, but it is a little regretful that he can't go out for other children to see.His mother is really amazing, the children in the village must be envious of him for being able to make such delicious food!
Ye Chengliang made a few more skewers, put them aside to cool down, washed all the used basins, and then went out with Xiao Lizi.
Xiao Lizi held Ye Chengliang's hand, and looked eagerly at the small bamboo box in Ye Chengliang's hand, "Mother, why can't you eat while walking?"
Ye Chengliang said: "If you pour wind into your stomach, your stomach should hurt."
Xiao Lizi let out an oh, half-understanding, and at this time Liu Datong's family also arrived.Ye Chengliang knew that Bai Yousheng and Liu Datong were not at home, so he didn't enter the house, so he stood outside and let Xiao Lizi go to his house to deliver three skewers.Xiao Tong has already returned home, and he looks similar to before now, but he still takes medicine every day.Xiao Lizi first went to send it to Xiao Tong, then came out again, and entered Bai Yousheng's house. After a while, Niuniu came out with Xiao Lizi and said, "Thank you Uncle A Liang, these pumpkin balls are delicious."
Ye Chengliang smiled, "It's not easy to digest if you eat too much, so don't eat too fast." After speaking, he waved his hand, "Let's go, little Li, go home."
Little Lizi shook Niuniu's hand, "Sister Niuniu..."
Niuniu sighed helplessly, "Uncle A Liang, let Xiao Lizi play at my house for a while, and I'll send him back later, do you think so?"
Ye Chengliang didn't know what his youngest son was thinking. He didn't want to miss studying, and he was bored at home, so he just wanted to play at Niu Niu's house for a while.
Shi Ling just came out from the yard after picking vegetables, and said with a smile: "Ah Liang, you can go back, he will leave me here so that he won't be hungry or tired, and after playing for a while, I'll let him sleep here."
Ye Chengliang thought for a while, "Then let's do it this way, I'm sorry for your trouble, sister-in-law Shi Ling."
It happened that there was still work at home, so Ye Chengliang took the time to go back.On weekdays, Zhang Hezhi can still see this little one, but Zhang Hezhi went to Jieyi Village early this morning.It's been a long time since they returned to Hongsha Village, so I asked Zhang Hezhi to see what's going on there.Ye Chengliang could also tell that Zhang Dazhuang didn't really want to go there, or he would have gone there by himself.
I went to Situ Chenfei's house to see how they were doing there, and saw that Situ Chenfei was extremely speechless.Because his yard has also become a big pit...
In fact, this is not the first time, but someone filled it in time before, but today there is no...
Situ Chenfei sat at the door and said, "If it rains heavily, I can raise fish in my yard."
Ye Chengliang said: "Then they must like you even more."
Situ Chenfei sighed, and Morika came over there.Nader accompanied the two owners to teach the children, and Morika stayed at home because of the bears.Situ Chenfei is good at everything else, but sometimes he is a little timid, so he has to stay and help look after them.
Ye Chengliang asked: "Where's Haiqing?" He was always elusive, and he hadn't seen him for a long time.
Situ Chenfei pointed to the sky, Ye Chengliang thought for a while and understood, he probably went to see the emperor.
Ye Chengliang didn't ask any further questions. Thinking of the children being bitten by mosquitoes at night, he asked Situ Chenfei for some medicine, but the previous ones were used up.
Situ Chenfei said: "When Grandpa Yunqing comes back, ask him. His medicine is better than the one I gave you. I saw him use it when I lived with me for the last two days. I also used Yunqing recently. Grandpa Qing gave it."
Ye Chengliang said in his heart, it's cheap for you, so he got up and went back.He cut all the drained cucumbers into slices and put them in a cool and ventilated place to dry. After that, he fed Datou and Huihui, and while it was still bright, he put Zhang Dazhuang on the clothes that had been worn out while working. The clothes were mended.It's like this in the countryside, a day of busy work on these trivial things, and that's how it goes.
When the children came back in the evening, Ye Chengliang made some pumpkin glutinous rice balls, which the children liked very much.Even Zhang Dazhuang ate a lot, and later he took a walk in the village with Ye Chengliang, and went to Situ Chenfei to ask for medicine.
Mi Suqing said: "Prince Shuliang announced the death of the national teacher after he ascended the throne. This time Haiqing went out and brought back the news."
Ye Chengliang said: "Then you won't be able to go back at all?"
"That's not necessarily true." Zhang Dazhuang glanced at Mi Suqing and Ye Chengliang, "If you really want to go back, you can."
So the two of them thought of Zhang Dazhuang walking the tunnel at the same time, and they couldn't help being silent for a while.After a while Mi Suqing said: "If there is nothing to do, I won't go back. This place is good, it is very suitable for spending my old age, and Yunqing also likes it here."
"By the way, where's Grandpa Yunqing?" Ye Chengliang hasn't seen Yunqing since he came in.
"He, he has something to go out." Speaking of this, Mi Suqing suddenly stuttered for some reason.
"Grandpa, you are really relieved." Ye Chengliang smiled, but just after he finished speaking, he heard a voice from outside.
"Cousin, aphrodisiac!" Yun Qing came in after saying that, and then saw Zhang Dazhuang and Ye Chengliang were stunned for a moment, it was really embarrassing, but after thinking about it again, by the way, it doesn't matter if Ah Liang can't understand Shuliang language Is it?
"Da Zhuang, what do you mean?" Ye Chengliang looked at Zhang Dazhuang with curiosity on his face.
"How dare you say I'm not finished with you!" Yun Qing glared at Zhang Dazhuang immediately!
"Well, I just found some medicinal ingredients." After Zhang Dazhuang finished speaking, he quickly changed the subject, "Grandpa Yunqing, we want some medicine, and the children are always scratched by mosquito bites."
"Wait a minute." After Yun Qing said, he went to find a small blue and white porcelain bottle, "Here, don't use too much, just a little."
After thanking Zhang Dazhuang, he took the bottle and left with Ye Chengliang.After leaving the gate, Ye Chengliang asked again: "What did Grandpa Yunqing say just now?"
"Cousin, aphrodisiac."
"..." Ye Chengliang almost spit out, stroked his chin, "The old man is really young."
"Aren't you stupid? If the real treasured sword is not old, there's no need for aphrodisiac." Zhang Dazhuang lowered his body and whispered to Ye Chengliang: "When I get old, you will know what the real treasured sword is not old."
"Get out!" Ye Chengliang kicked Zhang Dazhuang, walked a few quick steps to distance himself, and then slowed down, "You said it's been several days, why hasn't Zhang Guangshan come back?"
"I'm thinking about what he's doing, and it's better if I don't come back for the rest of my life. And I reckon that the chief secretary's wife may have something to do when she comes back. Otherwise, what would she do when she comes back?"
"That's right. If she can solve the problem with just one word, it won't take so long."
"Well, anyway, his family won't end well." Zhang Dazhuang shook Ye Chengliang's shoulder, "Go get me some clean clothes, I'll take a shower."
"Okay." Ye Chengliang went into the house and searched for a while to find out his clothes, but when he went to the courtyard, he saw Zhang Dazhuang lifted the wooden bucket shirtless and poured water on his body.The water droplets were crystal clear under the moonlight, and on Zhang Dazhuang's bronzed skin, they slid down along his firm texture like a slide, making people want to swallow subconsciously...
This thing must be intentional.
Ye Chengliang stood at the door and stared at it for a while, then walked slowly over to poke Zhang Dazhuang's chest muscles.I don't know if it's because of the hard work in the past few days, but it's much stronger than before, and it's as hard as poking on a wooden board when you poke it.
Zhang Dazhuang grabbed Ye Chengliang's hand, regardless of whether he was wet or not, he directly carried him on his shoulders into the house.
Early the next morning, Zhang Dazhuang got up and cooked breakfast.He didn't know how to make anything special, so he made some porridge, steamed the steamed buns made the night before, and served the pickles made by Ye Chengliang.
Ye Chengliang grinned and got up, seeing that Zhang Dazhuang was ready, but he didn't crawl back into the bed.He took the quilt to dry in the yard, and then went to feed the pigs, chickens and ducks, and the sun rose completely after he was done.
Farmers get up early, especially in this season.Li Jinge woke up all three children, took them to fetch water to wash their faces and hands, and then the whole family had breakfast around a square table.
"Uncle A Liang, are you there?" Niuniu's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Here!" Xiao Lizi finished his sentence first and got off the ground with a thud, and ran out, more active than anyone else, "Sister Niuniu, it's early!"
"Morning, little Lizi, these are sugar cakes baked by my mother. Didn't you say they were delicious yesterday? My sister brought you a few. You can eat with your brothers." Niu Niu handed out the bowl, thought for a while and then said : "Forget it, I'll send it in for you, don't accidentally drop it."
"Niuniu, it's really early." Ye Chengliang had already come out and heard the children talking.He took the things and thanked him, and left Niu Niu for dinner.Niu Niu was very sensible and didn't stay, she took the basket and went back.
"I don't care about this girl no matter how I look at it." Li Jinge said with a smile and then asked: "By the way, when will He Zhi come back?" walk.But as a grandma, she always misses her.
"I should be able to come back today, mother, don't worry." Zhang Dazhuang finished his porridge in twos and twos, got up and said that he was going to go to quarry.Ye Chengliang packed a few steamed buns yesterday, and packed a lot of vegetables for Zhang Dazhuang to bring him.Going into the mountains is not like being in the fields, and it's not easy to deliver meals, so everyone prepares their own lunch, because there are too many people, and Ye Chengliang can't prepare them all.
"If you are tired, take a rest, and I will do the rest when I come back." Before Zhang Dazhuang left, he did not forget to tell Ye Chengliang, "Don't drink any water. I filled the tank in the morning. , I’ll fill it up again when I come back.”
"All right, please go, why are you more wordy than old women?" Ye Chengliang waved his hands without even raising his head, like chasing chickens, he was busy making small cages for a few children.Little Lizi said that he wanted to raise grasshoppers.
"If you don't have a conscience, just throw it away when you're done using it. I'll see how I can deal with you when I get back." Zhang Zaizhuang went out with the things he needed to use.
"Be careful when you work!" Ye Chengliang raised his head and yelled, looking at the back of Zhang Dazhuang waving his hands, the corners of his mouth curved.
"Tsk tsk tsk, look at your face that has been watered." Situ Chenfei sat down next to Ye Chengliang, "What is this?"
"Grasshopper cage. Why are you here?"
"Your idiots are eating meat. I feel bloody and uncomfortable. But recently, their appetite has increased. I heard from Morica that they may have cubs."
"Well, I'll have to trouble you to deliver the baby then." Ye Chengliang said with a serious face.
Situ Chenfei: "..."
Xiao Lizi suddenly rushed in from the outside and said, "Mother, mother, there are officers and soldiers outside!"
Ye Chengliang said: "Oh, what are you here for?"
Xiao Lizi shook his head, and said in a childish voice, "I don't know." He also just watched it before entering the hospital!
Situ Chen flew up, "You can make it up, I'll go out for a walk." After saying that, he took Xiao Lizi out as well.
There really were two officials coming outside, seeing Situ Chenfei, they asked: "Brother, how can I get to Zhang Guangshan's house?"
Situ Chenfei pointed in a direction, "Go here, there are three holes in the beam of his house, it's easy to find." After finishing speaking, he asked, "Brother officials, what are you looking for from his house?"
The official said: "His family, Zhang Guangshan, has broken the law and has been detained. Let's inform his family."
To put it bluntly, he wanted money to redeem someone, Situ Chenfei understood it all at once, and asked again: "What law did you break?"
Seeing that Situ Chenfei was good-looking and well-dressed, the official said bluntly: "Beat the master's family." After speaking, he pointed to a certain place and asked: "Which one is that?" ?”
"No, the hole in this house was made when the swing was hung." Situ Chenfei said: "Forget it, there is nothing left and right, I will take the two of you there. But isn't this Guangshan relative to the master's family? Is it still locked up?"
"It used to be, but it's not anymore." Official Chai A said: "A few days ago, our Master Bookkeeper divorced his wife. Don't you know?!"
"That's right, the original master's wife went back to her mother's house, right?"
"...I did, but they didn't say anything." Situ Chen was overjoyed. So it turned out that the chief secretary's wife was suspended when she came back? !
"She is jealous of the concubine, and the master's son is in suspense. If she doesn't want to stop, who will she marry?" After finishing speaking, Guanchai pointed to another place, "Which one is it?"
"That's right, that's right, it's his house." After speaking, Situ Chenfei stopped, seeing the two knock on the door, he brought Xiao Lizi back to share the news with Ye Chengliang.Hey, Mrs. Zhang is going to have a lot of fun now. Finally, a phoenix flew out of the chicken coop and was sent back to the chicken coop.
Situ Chenfei's guess was right, the two officials came to report the news, on the one hand, and on the other hand, they also wanted the Zhang family to use money to redeem him.Of course, you don't have to redeem it, just keep it closed, and release it when the master master clears the fire.If you have the ability, you can sue the officials. Anyway, the county magistrate and the master both wear a pair of trousers.
When the news was delivered, the two officials left.Zhang Guangshan's daughter-in-law is in a difficult situation.She asked how much it would cost to redeem the person, and the official said that no matter what, it would cost five taels of silver per person.
Five taels of silver!That's the harvest of a whole farmer's family in one or two years!
Zhang Guangshan's son is called Zhang Youtian. He doesn't talk much on weekdays, and his relationship with his wife is neither good nor bad. Most of the time, he is not at home. He either works in the fields or finds a job by himself. He always looks like he doesn't care about family affairs, and sometimes he doesn't go home for ten days and a half months.When someone at home asked, they said they were looking for work outside.But this time his father was imprisoned, so he, as a son, couldn't keep silent anymore, so after hearing what his wife said, he said: "Let's go find the patriarch, if it wasn't because of his family, Dad It’s not like going to jail.”
When Su Huilan heard it, she said, "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up!"
The couple went to find it, and by the way, relayed what the officials said to the patriarch, but the patriarch fainted on the spot when he heard it, and the patriarch's grandsons just called grandpa, but none of them said they would pay for it!
The eldest daughter-in-law of the patriarch said: "Sister-in-law brought some things to the family during the holidays, but never got into our pockets. Five taels of silver, to put it lightly."
The second grandson’s daughter-in-law said: “Exactly, it’s not the cheap Zhang Dali, who gets money for the exam, pays for the exam, and gets money for buying books. The money doesn’t come from chicken butts, so how can there be so much money?” If you want money, go to Wang Jinhua."
The patriarch woke up and just heard this sentence, but there was no scolding.The old man sat up trembling and said, "Yes, yes, go, Arita, you go to Dali, he, he must have a way, you let him come to see me."
Zhang Youtian frowned, so he had no choice but to find him, since he couldn't afford the money.But he also kept his eyes open, and he didn't say much when looking for Zhang Zaili, only that the patriarch was ill.
Zhang Dali was a little skeptical, after all, Zhang Guangshan and his wife entered the county a few days ago, why is the old man suddenly sick now?Could it be that things have changed?Zhang Dali slowed down his pace and said, "Uncle, don't tell me something happened to my cousin?"
Zhang Youtian said: "You will know when you go."
Zhang Dali came out with him, and went back if it was not right or left.Besides, everyone in the Zhang clan knew that the patriarch valued him the most in the past, and it really wouldn't make sense for him not to go.
Zhang Dali is the only scholar in the entire Zhang clan, so no matter how dissatisfied everyone is with him in their hearts on weekdays, most of them will give him a little favor when they meet.The occupants moved aside as soon as he entered.Zhang Dali sat on the kang, and then asked: "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"
The patriarch of the Zhang clan leaned on the quilt, and he spoke out of breath, "Dali, you, your cousin, and your third master have all been arrested. The officials came earlier and said that each person needs five taels of silver to redeem them. Here, what do you think is good?"
Zhang Dali's face suddenly turned into a palette, "Why did you arrest them?"
Su Huilan was the clearest about this matter, and said upon hearing the words: "The official said it. Your cousin pushed your master's concubine into a miscarriage, so she divorced your cousin. After that, your cousin and your third master When you came to the door, there was another dispute, your cousin injured the concubine, and the two were locked up."
Zhang Daxin said that he deserved to be locked up!Even if you are divorced, you still have the face to go back!But I think so, but I absolutely can't say this.In the past, thinking that he had some talents, his cousin took care of his family.But these ten taels of silver are really too much.There is no autumn harvest yet, and every family is in a hurry. Where can I get the money to redeem people?
"How about... In my opinion, we all get together?" Zhang Dali could only say so in the end.
"Yo, how much does it cost?"
"That's right, even if we make up ten families, we still have to get one or two. We don't have that much money."
"Dali, is there no other way?" The patriarch said in embarrassment: "You, you are born in a granary, why don't you talk to the magistrate?"
"This matter is not that simple. The magistrate of the county has to deal with the master every day. How can he not know about this? If he would give me three points, he would not have arrested people in the first place." Zhang Dali thought for a while, but he was also a little powerless .It's not that he can't afford the ten taels of silver.But why should he take the money?Besides, if he really took it, he would have no money.All the savings in the family are still with Chen Qiufeng.Speaking of which, he still had to fetch Chen Qiufeng back, one or two was really not enough to bother him.
"According to me, it's all my grandfather's stubbornness. Otherwise, if Zhang Dazhuang was included in the genealogy, wouldn't the ten taels of silver be enough?" Someone muttered in a low voice, and the people in the room fell silent for a while.Seeing that Zhang Dazhuang's family is getting better and better, these decent relatives are not in the limelight. These people are not without depression, but they are under the pressure of their elders, and they usually dare not say it.
"Yes, genealogy!" But after a moment of silence, Zhang Dali suddenly thought of an idea.He said: "Grandpa, why don't you let Zhang Dazhuang enter the genealogy? Let's let him pay the money. As long as he is willing to pay, how about we let him enter the genealogy? This way everyone can redeem people without taking money." Come out, why not do it?"
"This... let me think about it." The patriarch of the Zhang clan didn't want to see this very much.He felt that if someone who was not from his own family entered the clan, it would be tantamount to breaking the clan law.
"But can Zhang Dazhuang agree to this?" Zhang Daniu felt that this was embarrassing.
"Why not? This is a big deal for him."
In this day and age, people who have not been able to join the clan are also lonely ghosts after death. To put it bluntly, they are rootless, do not know where they came from, and do not know where they are going. There are no people with paper money, so entering the genealogy is a big deal.
Seeing that the old man was still hesitating, Zhang Dali said, "Grandpa, what else are you thinking about? Back then you just thought that Zhang Dazhuang would be included in the genealogy, and his children would also be included, so there will be more in our Zhang clan." A bunch of outsiders with impure blood. But now that Zhang Dazhuang is married to a man, he will not be able to have biological children in the future, and those adopted children will not be able to enter our family tree, right? If he really wants to, then he will If it’s done, let him exchange it with money. If you set a high price then, won’t he still be unable to get in?”
Zhang Daniu looked down on Zhang Dali like this, but he just frowned and didn't speak.
The patriarch of the Zhang clan struggled for a while, finally settled down, and then asked Zhang Dali to go and talk to Zhang Dazhuang about the entry into the family tree.
Zhang Dali didn't want to go at first, but after thinking about it, he really wanted to know what Zhang Hezhi was doing recently, and why he didn't come to him once, so he went early the next morning without even eating. I went to find Zhang Dazhuang, because he had heard that Zhang Dazhuang was going to go to the mountain to quarry very early, and he was afraid that he would not be able to see people if he was too late.
Zhang Dazhuang had just finished his meal and was about to enter the mountain.Zhang Dali stood at the door, cleared his throat and asked, "Is Da Zhuang at home?"
Ye Chengliang poked out his ear and asked Zhang Dazhuang, "Am I an underheard? Why does it seem like Zhang Dali?"
Zhang Dazhuang nodded, "I'll go out and have a look."
Ye Chengliang said: "Let's go together, I also want to know why he came to you. This person never does anything good."
When the couple went out, they saw Zhang Dali lingering at the door. When they saw the two of them coming out, they put on a smile, "Da Zhuang, you're at home. Can you come out for a while? I have something to tell you."
Zhang Dazhuang stood at the door, "Tell me what you have to say." After speaking, Wuzi sat down on the big rock at the gate of the courtyard.
Zhang Dali didn't want to talk too much in his heart, so he cut straight to the point (?) and said: "That's what happened. You went to serve in corvee, and you didn't come back for many years, and you have been busy since you came back, so the genealogy has not been included. Grandpa asked me to ask you if you want to enter the genealogy."
Ye Cheng smiled coldly, "Is there any condition?"
Seeing Ye Chengliang's eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, Zhang Dali twitched his mouth in embarrassment, but if he said no at this moment, he would have to shoot himself in the foot at that moment, so he said, "Grandpa said, as long as the You can pay ten taels of silver."
Ye Chengliang looked at Zhang Dazhuang, "The money is not much, so do you want to buy it?"
Zhang Dazhuang got up and patted his buttocks, "I'm going into the mountains, I don't need any genealogy."
Zhang Dali: "..."
Ye Chengliang nodded, and handed Zhang Dazhuang the things he was going to bring, "Be careful with your work." After speaking, he looked at Zhang Dali, "Did Zhang Xiucai hear that? No need."
Zhang Dali gritted his teeth, thinking that if the money could not be obtained from Ye Chengliang and Zhang Dazhuang, he would have to take some of it, so he bit the bullet and did not leave, standing still and saying: "That's not what you said, if this is not included in the genealogy, you If the child is not formally enrolled in school, he will not be able to get a good name in the exam. Isn't that just farming at home for the rest of his life?"
Ye Chengliang thought about it, but there was always another way.To be honest, let alone spending money on entering Zhang's family tree, he would feel disgusted even if he didn't spend money.What kind of rags come out of this family? !
Zhang Dali thought that Ye Chengliang had listened to what he said, and continued to encourage him, "Also, if you can't pass the exam, you have to pay taxes on your family's land every year. This is a lot of money. And if you want to sell sugar again in the future , it is more convenient to have fame.”
Ye Chengliang felt that Zhang Dali was eloquent, so he said, "What else?"
Zhang Dali said: "Also...you can see the official without kneeling if you have a reputation. If you are guilty, you have to go to the reputation first before you can be punished."
Ye Chengliang nodded, "Thirsty?"
Zhang Dali was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Ye Chengliang entered the hospital, and Zhang Dali waited outside.Zhang Dali thought to himself, is Ye Chengliang easy to talk to, and went to get him water.In the end, after waiting and waiting, Ye Chengliang never came out.Zhang Dali stood outside for a while, wondering if he wanted to get him a pot of tea?Or what's the matter?So he continued to wait.After waiting for a while, no one came out, but the workers laying the foundation outside came to the door.
Zhang Dali gave way and let the workers enter the house, when He Yan came over and asked Zhang Dali, "Zhang Xiucai, why are you here?"
Zhang Dali said: "I'm looking for Ye Chengsha."
He Yan said, "Then why don't you go in?"
Zhang Dali followed He Yan into the house, but he didn't dare to say that there was a dog squatting at the door and he didn't dare to enter.
He Yan shouted, "Ah Liang, where is he?"
Ye Chengliang shouted back: "In the vegetable garden!!!"
He Yan brought Zhang Dali into the vegetable garden, Ye Chengliang saw Zhang Dali was taken aback, and said without thinking, "Why haven't you left yet?!"
Zhang Dali: Didn't you go get me water! ! !
