The fertile water of farming does not flow to outsiders' fields

"The child is still young, why are you pushing him so hard!" He Renjie was protecting the second brother's son, He Changhui, but he didn't want to be pushed to the ground with the adults and the child.

The aunt was so anxious that she couldn't sit on the sidelines, but was held down by her son, and watched helplessly as they were detained by two evil slaves, one on the left and the other on the right.

The Second Young Master Gan didn't even raise his brows, and asked lightly: "Who complained to the Elder Master at the beginning, saying that I didn't come back from the Xichun Building on the East Street all night?" He Renjie? I was kicked out by the Yuanyang girl, thinking I lost face, but went to the elder to complain to the second young master, this kind of person deserves bad retribution!"

He Renjie was so angry that he held his breath in his chest: "Don't spit blood! When did I go to that place?"

The cousin ignored him, and said directly to the people sitting in the hall: "Second young master, don't be upset, such a person really doesn't deserve to stay in the He family, it's better to send it out early, so as not to cause trouble in the future."

A group of relatives nearby were either silent or echoed, but none of them stood up and said something fair.

The He family is the largest family in Qinchuan City. Master He suddenly died of a sudden illness last month. According to the family heirloom, the eldest son should be in charge of the family business.But the eldest son fell in love with alchemy and Taoism in his early years, regardless of world affairs, and the family business fell into the hands of the second son.

Who would have thought that the second son was also unlucky, and died of a serious illness within a month of being in charge of the family business, and the family business dramatically fell into the hands of the third son.The third son was born to the youngest concubine. He was only 12 years old this year. He felt that he didn't know how to be a psychologist, so he followed the example of the regent and invited the nephew of the master of the He family, the second son, to take care of the family affairs.

The first thing the Second Young Master did when he came to power was naturally to clean up He Renjie who had complained to the Elder Master and made him unable to get out of bed for half a month under the family law.

He Renjie was originally surnamed Pei, the only son of Mrs. He's second daughter. Because his parents died of illness, his grandmother took him back to the family to raise him. Why did he change his surname? He was not close to other relatives since he was a child. Seeing him being bullied now, no one stood up. Come out and do him justice.

The second young master twiddled the prayer beads and pondered for a while, then raised his head and raised his eyebrows: "You were not from my He family, so it's not a problem to stay in the He family all the time now. Changhui lost his father, and the uncle above is not born. I don't care about him, why not follow you, anyway, you are also his uncle, right? There is a real estate and 20 mu of good land in Fuchun County, Quanzhou, which is adjacent to this. Showing great kindness, I will give this property and land to you and Changhui, what do you think?"

Although He Renjie is a nerd, he is not stupid. Although the son of the second brother, He Changhui, is born of a concubine, he is the real blood of the He family. Now they want to send Changhui out with a small amount of money. In the future, there will be one less person to divide the family property.

He Renjie thought for a moment, then immediately raised his head and said, "Okay, as long as I have the land title deed immediately, I will voluntarily take Changhui to move to Fuchun County."

Second Young Master Gan didn't expect him to be so talkative, so he clapped his hands and laughed immediately after being startled: "What a cheerful person! Xiaozhang went to fetch the land deed, and to show a little compensation, I will give you another 100 taels of money, and arrange someone to escort you to the whole country. state."

He Renjie snorted, thinking that it would be better to leave this wrong place as soon as possible. It should not be difficult to earn enough food and clothing with 20 acres of good land. As long as he works hard, he and Changhui will surely live a good life in the future.

Shaoqing's subordinates sent over the land deed, paper and ink, and Gan Ershao ordered people to invite Yazi and Baochang, and he and He Renjie wrote a transfer letter, each signed and pressed their fingerprints without mentioning it.

After the work was over, Second Young Master Gan heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately asked someone to prepare a car and horse to send the two of them to Fuchun County overnight. He Renjie sneered a few times, went back to his room, packed some clothes and bedding, and got into the car with Changhui .

Although He Changhui is only six years old this year, he comes from a big family and is very good at observing words and expressions. Seeing that his uncle was silent, he took the initiative to rush over: "Daddy, can I call you Daddy? Treat my uncle as my own father, and when I grow up, I will support my father until the end of my life."

He didn't come up with this idea by himself. Some time ago, after his father passed away, the nurse who accompanied the room taught him, and told him that once he said this, people would treat him as his own son, otherwise it would be fine. Entering a new home is also to be beaten.

Seeing him pitiful, He Renjie hugged him into his arms, his voice trembling: "Don't be afraid, as long as there is a mouthful of food for my uncle, I will definitely not teach Changhui to be hungry."

Seeing that he refused to agree, He Changhui was more afraid of being beaten, and hurriedly said: "Father, do you despise me? I am very good, I will not be naughty, and I will definitely support my father until the end of my life."

He Renjie sighed and said, "I'm ready to change my surname back to Pei. You are my own nephew. It's fine to recognize me as your father, but your father's incense will be cut off."

He Changhui didn't understand this very well. At this time, he just wanted to ask him to agree, so that when he entered the new home, someone would feel sorry for him. He hurriedly said, "What's your father's surname, and what's Changhui's surname? People in this He family are not good people. They don't have any surnames." whatever."

He Renjie laughed and said, "Where did you go to listen to gossip?"

He Changhui said: "Mother said it." He Renjie remembered that Wanniang was originally the daughter of a decent family, but was taken by the second brother as a concubine who was forced into the mansion, nodded and said: "Okay, then you will follow my surname Pei." , I will call him Pei Changhui from now on, okay?"

Pei Changhui threw himself into his arms and called Dad, but tears fell straight down. Pei Renjie endured his sore nose, comforted him gently, and promised to buy a lot of candy before giving up.

Fuchun County is not far from Qinchuan City, but there are two big mountains, and it will take ten more days to walk around the mountains. It will be a month before they arrive at Chenjia Village in Fuchun County.

Chenjia Village is located on the edge of Fuchun County, facing Fushui River in the east and Qixian Mountain in the west.

Pei Renjie jumped out of the car and looked at the semi-new brick and tile houses and courtyards in front of him. He was very relieved: "The house is still a good house, as long as it is cleaned, it can be lived in." The driver said: "This house has been guarded and cleaned all the time. , the villain is going to call someone to meet the young master."

After entering the hall, before Pei Renjie had time to look around, he saw a couple coming out, handed over the keys, and counted the furniture and belongings everywhere, then packed up his things and went back with the car.

This is a common compound in a farmhouse, with a hall on the front and side rooms on both sides. The kitchen and latrines are in the backyard. There are also chicken coops, pig pens and donkey sheds, all of which are half-new and not old. I think they have been used before. .

The couple didn't raise pigs, but they raised a litter of chickens and a few ducks. Pei Renjie was very satisfied, and checked around again. Seeing that the kitchen was full of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and firewood was piled up, he hugged his long Hui said: "You look good, right? There is everything here, and we won't be hungry today."

Changhui seemed to understand, but he was also happy when he saw his father happy. It happened that someone called the door in the yard, but Lizheng came.

Li Zheng's surname was Chen. Seeing the two of them, he smiled and said, "You guys are here. This house has been vacant for 30 years, right? Now it's finally here. Is everyone in the He family okay?"

Pei Renjie mentioned a few perfunctory words, and after Li Zhengyan read the land deed documents, he turned around and asked about the house. Only then did he realize that the ancestors of the He family made their fortune from here. .

Lizheng chatted with him for a while before apologetically telling him that there had been no one in his family, and Lizheng had decided to rent the land to a family named Chen in the village for cultivation, and paid the land rent every year. It has already been planted, and it will not be returned to his family until the end of autumn.

Li Zheng rubbed his hands and smiled embarrassedly: "You didn't send a letter before you came, otherwise you won't let it go this year, now you can only wait until autumn to make a fuss, and ask them to give you an extra [-] catties of wheat. "

Pei Renjie replied very politely: "Then it will be the end of autumn, but my family didn't bring much rice when I came here. I wonder who can change it?"

Li Zheng hurriedly said: "Mr. Pei, don't worry. I will send my son to send some rice, grain, vegetables and meat later. You can use it first, and it will not be too late to pay when you are free at the end of autumn." Although Pei Renjie is young, he still listens Understood, he quickly took out a piece of broken silver and said: "We apologize for disturbing each other, how dare we ask you to advance money, I will trouble you to exchange this little silver for some food."

After a few pushes, Lizheng stopped insisting, happily collected the money and left the house, and after a while, a young man brought half a bag of cornmeal, half a bag of semolina and some vegetables and bacon to his door.

Pei Renjie was overjoyed when he saw so many things, so he hurriedly moved them to the kitchen and put them out one by one.It was already afternoon, because he didn't eat much at noon, and he was hungry, so he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to make dinner.

The big firewood in the stove was piled inside the house, and there were some branches and dead leaves scattered outside. Although Pei Renjie didn't understand, he understood after a few glances. Some small firewood, and when the small firewood is also burning, add more firewood, and the fire will start to burn, but what are you cooking? !

Naturally, the fire should not be wasted. Pei Renjie hurriedly scooped some cold water from the tank next to it and poured it in. He thought about cooking some porridge to eat. After searching for a long time, he only found a large pottery bowl of crushed corn and poured it all in. .

After a while, the water boiled, and the crushed corn swelled and came out of the water, with bubbles puffing on the side. Pei Renjie hurriedly added more water, but this time, the water was too much, and the pot was dry and watery. But rare... Sure enough, a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen, this is really the words of a saint!

In the evening, Pei Changhui sat down in the main room. Seeing his father bring two big bowls of paste, he asked curiously, "Is this lotus root starch?" Just eat."

Changhui obediently picked up the chopsticks and scooped them up in the bowl, and said disappointedly, "There's no meat." He took another sip and said, "Father, you didn't add salt, did you? It seems to be mushy too."

Pei Renjie's face was flushed red, thinking that when he came here, the Second Young Master sent 100 taels of silver, and he must go to the city to hire a servant tomorrow.Seeing that his father was silent, Changhui hurriedly said: "Father, this porridge is delicious, I like it very much." He licked his mouth to show that he was very satisfied.

Pei Renjie felt sad, patted his head and said: "Tomorrow, I will go to the city to invite an aunt to cook, and Changhui will have meat every day, okay?"

Although Changhui is young, he still understands some things: "Don't invite people. If you ask someone for money, I will eat the porridge made by Daddy. It is delicious."

Pei Renjie felt even more sad, and he was determined to hire a servant: "Hurry up and eat, today I can only order it, and tomorrow we will eat bacon."
