Ancient Fortune Records

"Your family is doing well this year. You have been buying for so many years. Hey, what a big fish!"

"Your family also has big fish this year!"

This is what people often say on New Year's Day in Suizhou.A big fish is a big "surplus", which means that the family has surplus money.

Wang Yi greeted each other with the neighbors in the neighborhood, and then walked towards home with a big bag and a small bag.He rented a house in Liquan County and brought all the parents in the village over.Now that the house prices in the county are skyrocketing, he dare not move for the time being even if he has spare money.But it is said that there will be merchants building houses in the wasteland to the west of the county seat. It is said that they are still cement houses. When the time comes, I will directly ask the middleman to make an appointment for a large cement one-story house with a yard. There is still a water vein there, and a deep well will be enough. For many years, he asked someone about the price, and he said that it was cheap and easy to live in, and it was not a loss to buy it.

He was still hesitating whether to buy shops or not. Later, he heard that there was a Zhang Dashan in the county who wanted to spend a hundred dollars to repair all the roads in the western and eastern suburbs with concrete roads, so he secretly planned to buy a few sets of shops.He now has two sons and a daughter.My daughter will be at the age of marrying in three years, and now she is biting her teeth to buy a store, maybe she can find a family with better conditions for her daughter, and then marry a set of stores as a dowry, so that her daughter will not have to ask others to support her for the rest of her life. Harden your waist.

He followed the construction team (it is said that Mr. Shen called them that) and built the road for nearly two months, earning two bucks. Now he has mastered the skills of road construction, so Mr. Zhang Dashan also approached them, directly I gave money for the materials and said that they would let their construction team take full responsibility.The material money given by Zhang Dashan is enough to buy cement and other materials, and there are still some leftovers.But for the rest, if Zhang Shanren doesn't want them, it will be a few points from their brother.

The wages are calculated separately. Nowadays, there are many people looking for them to build roads, so the wages for one day are very considerable.The wages given by Zhang Shanren are higher than those given by the officials, and they can earn 38 Wen a day.But there is a minimum deadline, the road has not been repaired for more than two months, Zhang Shanren is not a fool, naturally there are ways to deal with them.

"Master, the children want to eat mutton, can you buy it?" The woman was busy in the kitchen, not forgetting to ask about the mutton.

"I bought it, I bought it. You like to eat duck meat, and I bought a duck, and the store has been cleaned up!"

The woman smiled happily, she hadn't had a serious meal of meat for a long time, especially duck.The wages her man gave her these days made her feel a lot more relaxed.With this skill in road construction, her husband will not worry about making money to support their family in the future.

"Those who built the road with you have had a good year, right?" the woman asked.

"That's right. Half of them have continued to build roads south with Mr. Shen. Mr. Shen is celebrating the New Year in Shenjia Village this year, and he also said that he will hold a banquet for them."

The woman asked, "Why don't you go?"

Wang Yi said: "We are not in charge of the next section of the road for the time being. Mr. Shen said that every section of the road has to recruit new people to teach them how to make cement, build roads, or build houses. Although I am always doing road construction work, I am actually waiting After this period of time has passed, I can also try to repair the house. When spring comes, Mr. Shen asked us to repair the road, and we will take people there."

The woman stopped talking and put the mutton dumplings in the pot. After a while, the dumplings bulged and floated on the water.The white and fat dumplings are very gratifying to look at.After the dumplings and dishes were served on the table, she slowly expressed her plan.

"You build roads to make money, and I can't be idle. I plan to arrange the children well, and I can find some work for myself. Now that the eldest son and daughter are grown up, it's time to learn a craft from a master. I think clothes or It’s good to learn how to cook food. If you want to learn, you can learn a famous trick. When they open a store in the future, they can also have a living. There is also our child, who was born prematurely, weak and sick, and can’t do physical work. Then send him to study. If you are well-known in reading, then continue to study, if you can read well, can recognize a few hundred characters, or can settle accounts, then follow his brother to do things, at least you will not die of hunger."

Wang Yi nodded in agreement. He is now in his thirties, and he is not considered young. If he does not ask his children to learn something at this time, it will harm them.Fortunately, although the children in their family are spoiled, they can do all kinds of housework and coolie work.Now that you have spare money, you can send them to skilled masters, even if you pay a little more, you will not lose if you learn the skills.

"My boss, I'm going to sew burlap bags in the burlap bag workshop. Now we can make a burlap bag for cement, and we can get four to five yuan. There are weaving machines in the workshop, and it's not slow to make one. Make four or five sacks. Master Shen’s cement factory needs that, and the news has been released a long time ago. People in Suizhou are looking for a lot of female workers who can use textile machines to do it, so I agreed to do it.”

Wang Yi didn't really want his wife to work there, but he knew that his wife looked weak and had her own ideas in her heart.Now that it has been said, it has already been planned.

"Then pay attention, don't tire yourself out. Just do two or three a day to subsidize the family. I'm still making money after all."

"Hey, I know that." The woman was very happy. When she was a girl, she also helped the family to earn money, but she didn't earn much and she was very tired.Now that the cement factory in Suizhou has been opened, she will have a long-term job and earn a lot of money.The son and daughter have grown up, and she doesn't need to stay at home to watch. The youngest son can be sent to school, and her burden at home is much lighter.

Families like them may be replicated in Suizhou by dozens or even hundreds of households. After Suizhou, fewer and fewer people will starve to death without food.

At the end of December, a few days before Chinese New Year, Shen Li finally rushed back to Shenjia Village.

Shen Li sent someone to bring back the news that he was going home a long time ago. Although the house in the village has not been lived in for a long time, it has been kept and repaired very well, and the furnishings in the house are all available.

The bed where I slept when I was a child, even the bedding and tents are the same color as before.Shen Li looked at the small bed, as if seeing himself when he was a child, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

It was very windy and snowy outside, but when I came back to this room, I felt warm physically and mentally.Belonging is really a wonderful feeling, as if the baby is back in the arms of the mother, feeling safe and sleepy.

Li Fu brought a basin of hot water and asked Shen Li to soak his feet. Shen Li hurriedly said, "Why haven't you gone to the county yet? I still have someone to take care of me here. Go back and have a look. I heard that Uncle Li has two grandchildren in your family." Son, you must be panicking!"

Li Fu smiled and said: "How can I not want to? But I still can't worry about you, I have to watch you honestly finish a bowl of dispelling cold soup before leaving."

Shen Li took off his thick wool socks and put his feet in hot water to smoke.There is no air conditioning in winter here, and it is really hard to live without heating.However, the down jacket he asked someone to make was still warm, and the wool socks also protected his feet well, and he did not suffer from frostbite.As soon as he picked up the bowl of pungent dispelling cold soup, he heard a servant shout at the door:

"Lang Jun, there are guests!"

"Please come in!"

The people in Shenjia Village knew that Shen Li had returned to their hometown, and they were all waiting to see Shen Li.Including Shen Li's uncle Shen Laichun, second uncle Shen Laixia, and younger uncle Shen Baodong.

The old patriarch naturally wanted to come, but he was too old to come in the snow, so the courtyard of the Shen family was crowded with relatives and friends from the village who could still walk in the snow.

"It's freezing, Uncle Li, add more charcoal fire, and call them in quickly."

Shen Li tidied himself up, looking clean and tidy, he went out to welcome the village.

Before Shen Li smiled and greeted them to come in, he was stunned by the flattering smiles of the uncle and the others.

"My lord, you have returned to your hometown!" After saying that, he took the lead in making a standard bow. Even Shen Baodong, the uncle who had been at odds with him for a long time, obediently followed the etiquette of ordinary people meeting an official, and slowly bent down, completely There is no appearance of elders.

Shen Li's mood suddenly became complicated. After all, he underestimated the majesty of the official status to relatives and the village.

Shen Li didn't understand the complicated feelings of "Brother Xun" in the text when Runtu called him master, but now he understands everything.

But Shen Li didn't stop him, after all, it was the uncle who took the lead, if he was rude, it would be the uncle who would be embarrassed.

"Come in quickly, uncle, second uncle, why are you here now, without waiting for me to visit?"

Shen Laixia said: "How can you make this trip yourself? We are used to being able to walk, why don't we come to see you together, so as to save you from going the wrong way."

"It's all right for a nephew to visit his uncle. Are grandparents all right now?"

Shen Laichun said: "You donate food, cloth, and food every year. The two old people have a very good life, but they will inevitably miss you."

Shen Li thought to himself: Only uncle can say this.

He is clear about the current situation of his grandparents.Neither of his two uncles could be called a villain, but if they were good, that wouldn't count either.

The grandparents are getting old, and their mouths are inevitably fragmented. These two uncles have moved away long ago, and they are not living with them, so they are afraid of being nagged.

Uncle Shen Baodong, who served in the military a few years ago, accidentally injured his leg by bandits, now lives at home on the little compensation and his mother's subsidy.Shrinking his head to be a man outside, he doesn't ask for money at home, but his temper is getting hotter, and he still thinks about eating his parents' meals. Her youngest son was lying on the bed so angry that he couldn't get up.

As the saying goes, the wicked will be punished by the wicked. Although they don't have to worry about food and clothing, their grandparents always have no caring person to take care of them when they are old.

Shen Baodong noticed that Shen Li was looking at him, and couldn't help shrinking his head.What he was most afraid of was that Shen Li would turn over the old score. Now he is hated by everyone in the village. If Shen Li, who is now a high-ranking official, adds another spoonful of oil to the fire, then his life will not be over.

Shen Li didn't have time to worry about these things, "I came to the humble house today, do I need to discuss something?"

The patriarch's candidate and the patriarch's eldest grandson, Shen Jiang said: "Nowadays, common people can also participate in scientific examinations, but there are still too few books to read. We have money and can't buy books, so I want to ask you Is there any good idea?"

Shen Li said: "There are not enough books, this is a problem, but don't worry, I opened a bookstore in the capital, after a while you write the missing books to me, and I will ask someone to bring them over. This is my negligence."

There is no background, and it is normal that there are few books. Shen Li thought about it, and it is not a bad idea to open a library in Shenjia Village.

When Shen Jiang heard that there was a book, a smile appeared on his face.He also wanted Shenjiacun to have more scholars and candidates, but seeing that the scientific examination was getting more and more difficult every year, if he didn't read those few books, there was basically no hope of passing the entrance examination.

Shen Li knew that this was the aristocratic family's attack.But books, if there is a shortage in other places, his bookstore will never be short.

"Also, there is the problem of road construction. Our village plans to pay for the road construction itself. I would like to ask if you will participate?"

Shen Li took out a bank note of 200 taels, "This is the wish of our family, how the village arranges, the accounts need to be clear."

"It's natural."

Now that the two major issues were resolved, everyone continued to exchange a few words and then left one after another.

"Why are you frowning?" A familiar voice suddenly sounded.

Shen Li looked up at the door in surprise: "Why are you here?"

A tall figure stood outside the door, "You heartless Mr. Shen, you don't want to send someone to look for me, so I'll come naturally."

Shen Li suddenly forgot his unreasonable and messy thoughts, and his eyes were full of His Royal Highness, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"I am coming."

"Ah."

The author has something to say: I want to have more, but there are too many melons on Weibo today, and I almost became a 猹 (no)
