Travel through ancient times to discuss life

The two returned home together and poured water into the jar.Grandma Han had already set the dinner table, urging them to wash their faces and start eating.Breakfast is also eaten at the dining table on the kang. Each person has a bowl of hand-rolled noodles with meat sauce and marinade, served with homemade pickles. It looks very appetizing.

Han Xia first took a big mouthful of noodles to satisfy her craving, and then began to eat slowly.

"Grandma's cooking skills are really good, and the noodles are delicious." Han Xiaoxia said with a happy face.

"As long as you like to eat, grandma will cook more, and I will cook for you in the future, ah!" Grandma Han was very happy to hear that he liked to eat, and put another pickle for him.

Han Xia ate the pickles in one bite, the crunchy mustard greens were delicious too.

"Grandpa, the grandpa just now is Li Zheng."

"No, he and I are the same grandfather, and our two families travel a lot, so we have a good relationship. Your uncle is smart. Our village was not as rich as it is now. During the Chinese New Year, we were reluctant to buy more meat. Fortunately, after your great-grandpa became Li Zheng, he worked hard and figured out a way to make money, which also allows us to subsidize the family and eat meat a few times." When Grandpa Han said this, his face was full of joy. Not fake.

Han Xia secretly felt that Li Zheng must be very prestigious in the village, and he must have a good relationship with him in the future, but she couldn't help but wonder, "Grandpa, what is the way to make money?"

"It's just that I know the people in the dental shop. There are a lot of rich people here. They often want to build a yard or something. Usually, the dental shop finds people. There are many craftsmen in our village. In the past, I was always unable to find a job, but now, for the sake of Lizheng, the dental shop has more people looking for our village, so it can earn more money, and it will not delay farming."

"There is really something there."

"That's right, so many people in our village with little land will point to that." Grandma Han said.

"Does our family have a lot of land?" Han Xia asked suddenly.

"It's not bad, it's considered average. The family with the most land in our village is Han Laosan's family." Grandpa Han said.

"That's right, their family has more than 100 mu of land, and they eat white flour and steamed buns every day." Grandma Han couldn't help but gossip.

Han Xia thinks that Grandma Han is so cute, "Grandma, our family will also buy some land, and then we will eat white flour steamed buns every day."

"That's a good thing, grandma will just wait for Xiaoxia to honor me." Grandma Han thought that Han Xia was just joking around to make her happy, and didn't care.

On the contrary, Grandpa Han felt that Han Xia might not be joking. He was a little surprised when he heard that so many lands were going to be bought, so he didn't answer for a while.This is a big matter, and it needs to be discussed and discussed, but Grandpa Han didn't make a sound because he was afraid that the old woman would not speak strictly.

The meal was finished quickly, Grandpa Han and Han Xia took a short break to harness the ox cart, and then drove the cart to Lizheng's house.Since Han Xia does not know the advanced skill of driving cattle, Grandpa Han drives the car, and Han Xia sits next to him.Lizheng's family is also in the middle of the village, just two families away from Grandpa Han's.The two met people from four or five villages on the road. Grandpa Han stopped the car and greeted them with a smile, and introduced Han Xia. It will take a while.

Grandpa Han got out of the car and asked Han Xia to watch the cows outside, then he stood outside the fence and shouted, "Is Big Brother here?" Soon Lizheng came out from inside, and there was a woman with him, probably his wife.Li Zheng said while walking: "Your sister-in-law is going to visit Zhengquan in the city, and buy something by the way, come with us and come back together."

"Okay, get in the car." Grandpa Han readily agreed.

"Grandpa, grandma." Han Xia really didn't know how to address her, so she called out boldly.

"Yeah." This is the aloof Li Zheng

"Hey, this is the child of the Arita family. She looks so handsome. What's her name?" The grandma was quite enthusiastic.

Han Xia was glad that he was right when he heard his grandfather answering for him, "It's Han Xia." He smiled at the eldest grandma.Li was discussing this year's situation with Grandpa Han, and Grandma asked Han Xia to ask questions.

"Xiao Xia, how old is this year?" said the kind grandma.

"I'm sixteen this year." The well-behaved Han Xia.

"Sixteen, did you say we kissed you?" asked the curious grandma.

"Not yet." Han Xia was a little embarrassed.

"Then how do you do it? Your parents didn't give you any plans?" The grandma who was a bit gossip.

"I wanted to talk about it when I came back, but who knows..." Han Xia was sad.

"Poor child, your family has always lived in the city in the south? You are the only child? Is your mother from the city?" asked the curious grandma.

"Okay, there's no end to asking!" Li Zheng saw that his wife was so blind, so he hurriedly stopped her from asking, because he didn't see that the child was sad.

"Just asking casually, Xiao Xia'er, your eldest grandma, I just talk fast, don't take it to heart." At this time, the eldest grandma also realized that she couldn't continue to ask, so she hurriedly said something.

"It's okay, how can I take it to my heart." Han Xia was actually complaining silently in her heart, and this must be an absolute good reporter in Hyundai.

Grandma Lu at the back really stopped asking Han Xia, and chatted with Li Zheng and the others all the way, praising her grandson, and soon the city gate was in front of her eyes.Li Zheng actually knew the soldiers guarding the city gate, and the two exchanged a few words and let the ox cart enter the city without careful questioning.It was only then that Han Xia felt that Lizheng's connections were quite extensive.

As soon as you enter the city, there is a commercial street with stalls selling all kinds of food on both sides. The bullock cart did not stop here, but continued to walk.When we reached a tavern at the end of this street, the ox cart stopped, and the grandma got off here. They agreed to meet here at noon, and the grandma went to the right, while Grandpa Han drove the cart to went to the left.Grandpa Han didn't know where the yamen was, and he found the place because he was pointing the way.

When they arrived at the place, Lizheng took Grandpa Han to find a shed for ox carts, tied up the cattle, took out a few pennies and entrusted the caretaker of the shed, and the three of them entered the yamen.Han Xia saw that the man who looked after the shed didn't hesitate at all when he took the money, so he knew that he was used to collecting money regularly.Li Zheng led them to find the master who was in charge of the household registration.

"Why is Brother Han here?" The master didn't put on airs.

"Master Li, how is it? I have something to trouble you." At the moment, Lizheng was quite enthusiastic.

"Where is it? It's just a matter of duty. What are you doing today?"

"It's like this. The second son of Han Dashan in our village went to the south more than ten years ago and there is no news. Now that his son is back, he can be naturalized here." Li Zheng hurriedly pointed to Grandpa Han.

"Are you sure it's your grandson? Have you separated?" The master looked at the two of them and asked.

"It's my grandson, that's right. There is a token. He looks exactly like my son. It can't be wrong. He didn't separate from me at that time." Grandpa Han was a little cautious.

"That's fine. Do you want to set up a separate household, or return it to your family." The master is obviously skilled in business.

"Anything to say?" Han Xia asked.

"If there is a single household, the corvee and military service will be counted together in the future, and if the family is separated, it will be counted separately." The master was not in a hurry, and said slowly.

"You don't need to set up a separate household, is that okay, Grandpa?" Han Xia said directly.

"I think so too. Let's not separate until you get married."

"That's fine, I'll make a document for you, and that's it." The master didn't lift his head when he heard this, and started writing the document directly.I asked the name and so on, and it was done quickly.

"It's already noon, Master, let's go out for dinner with us." Li Zheng invited.

"No need, now that the limelight is in full swing, I'd better avoid it." The master waved his hands again and again.

Hearing this, Lizheng took out a piece of silver and secretly stuffed it into the master's hand, "In that case, I will trouble the master today, and we will not disturb your errands."

"Go slowly, I won't give it away." The master put away the silver and remained calm.

After such a delay, it was almost noon, and the three of them drove the ox cart to the tavern and waited for the grandma.

"I didn't bring that much money today. I'll send you the silver when I go back." Grandpa Han looked ashamed.

"No hurry, no hurry, I'll go to the shop over there, buy some pastries, and I'll be right back." Li was talking and went to the shop.

Seeing that Li was leaving, Han Xia hurriedly took out a silver ingot and gave it to Grandpa, "Grandpa, I have the money with me. I will pay with this later, and then give the silver to Grandpa."

"Do you have enough money? You are buying land and building a house. Take it back quickly. You don't need so much. There are many people in the market, so don't get caught by thieves." Grandpa Han refused to accept it.

"Don't worry, grandpa. I still have this, it must be enough, take it quickly, I should be back later." Saying this, Han Xia stuffed the money into Grandpa's hand, and refused to take it anyway. .

The two were pushing and refusing, when Lizheng came back, Grandpa Han had no choice but to accept the money when he saw this.After waiting for a while, the eldest grandma also came back.Han Xia thought they were going to eat in a tavern, but unexpectedly they came to a noodle stall.

After the four sat down, Grandpa Han ordered four bowls of pork bone noodle soup.

"What are you doing with all that money, really." The grandma complained.

"Hey, brother, please come, what's a bowl of noodles." Grandpa Han said seriously.

Soon the noodles came up, a large bowl of noodles was covered with a layer of sliced ​​meat, and the bone soup was well boiled, which immediately hooked the gluttons.The four of them were eating, when Han Xia suddenly remembered that he hadn't settled the money at the inn, so he quickly finished eating the noodles in two or three bites.

"Grandpa, I stayed in the inn for a few days before, and I haven't paid the bill yet, so you eat first. I'll go and pay the bill, and take the burden home by the way."

"Go, can you find your way?"

"I can find it, I'm leaving." Han Xia yelled, looking for it in the direction he remembered.
