Chapter 020 Happy Chinese New Year!

???? "Hey, eat!" Tie Qing hurriedly lowered his head to eat, it tasted really good.

???? After the New Year's Eve dinner, it was very late, but everyone stayed up all night, Tie Qing had no choice but to take out the two dice she bought in the county seat, and put them in a bowl to play with them.

???? One penny at a time is considered a small "gambling".

???? He shook very regularly, and all three members of Lao Xiao's family participated. In the end, Uncle Xiao lost eight copper coins, Aunt Xiao won sixteen, Brother Xiao had the most, and he won twenty A few, Tie Qing lost the most.

???? When it was dawn on the first day of the new year, I ate a meal of dumplings. The leftovers were hot. I ate a few mouthfuls and cleaned them up. Then they all lay on the kang to catch up on sleep.

???? The second and third day of junior high school are the days when I return to my natal family.

???? But old Aunt Xiao's natal family has no one left, her eldest brother passed away, and she doesn't get along with her sister-in-law, so it doesn't make much sense to go back, so she just won't go back.

???? And during the Chinese New Year, the nephews didn't think about her as an aunt, and never came to see her.

???? So the three members of the old Xiao family in the second and third grades of junior high school, plus Tie Qing, have been playing, betting on big and small is very interesting.

???? Tie Qing also won two coins in the first day of junior high school, which was lost to him by brother Xiao, and old uncle Xiao was won eight coins by old aunt Xiao!

???? In the third year of junior high school, Brother Xiao showed his power, and he won more than 40 copper coins from the other three in one go!

???? A pair of smiling eyes are bent into crescent moons.

???? The little guy has a new year, plus the lucky draw and the winnings, he has a full two to three hundred coins. He is a little rich man.

???? Of course, in terms of the entire Elm Village.

???? I stopped playing on the fourth day of the lunar new year. Uncle Xiao took Tie Qing and made several gifts: "We will go to Lao Wei's house on the sixth day of the new year. He is the village head. He will go to the Yamen to distribute the land for you after the first lunar month. Yes, although the household registration is in Yushu Village, the fields must be closely watched. The divided fields must be closer to the village and farther away from the mountains. We have two points for mountains, three points for water, and five points for fields. Do you know what it is? mean?"

???? "Understood." Tie Qing nodded: "Our place is not bad."

????The so-called "two points of mountains, three points of water, and five points of fields" means that two tenths of the county's land is high mountains, so-called deep mountains and old forests; three tenths of water is composed of large rivers and small fields. The place where the creek is located; the five-cent field means that half of it is a field.

???? "Not bad? It's all about the officials above." Old Uncle Xiao said angrily: "The wars have been messed up these years, and the officials have changed like a revolving door, but now How many fields have been left uncultivated? People have been wiped out! It is said that it is a field, but it is actually a wasteland, and it has been turned into a meadow!"

Tie Qing suddenly realized: "No wonder, when I came here, I saw a lot of fields along the way, but there were more meadows. I thought it was a grassland, suitable for herding horses and sheep."

???? "Those are the original fertile fields, and they have all become grasslands. Where can I put horses? This is a dangerous place, with fewer people and more land, and more barren land." Old Chief Xiao told Village Chief Wei He has prepared two generous gifts, one is from his own family, which is his friendship with old Wei Tou;

???? In fact, it was a generous gift, but in Tie Qing's eyes, it was nothing rich. It was just a chicken, two boxes of trough cakes, and a black thick cotton cloth, that's all.

???? But Old Xiao Boss said it was a generous gift.

???? Tie Qing thought for a while, and put in another ten cents, which was tied with a red silk rope. Although it was not new, it could be seen that it was money for children.

???? After the fifth day, early in the morning of the sixth day, Old Chief Xiao took Tie Qing to the village chief's house.

????Old Wei’s house has a similar structure to Old Xiao’s, except that the old Wei’s house is the head of the village, and the front room is used to receive guests. Those who come to receive guests, because not only the villagers will go to the village head, sometimes the head of the village will bring the yamen servants who go to the countryside to collect taxes to come to the village head to do business.

???? And Lao Wei is only the village head, not the village head.

????According to the rules of this era, five villages are one mile, with one mile chief and six to eight village elders.

????The so-called head of the village is the person who is in charge of the five village chiefs, but the head here lives in the town, and the village elder is usually the head of a village, an old man with high morals.

????The house at the back is the residence of their husband and wife, and a small courtyard is merged next door, which is the residence of their son and daughter-in-law. Their family's vegetable garden is not small, at least five acres of land!

???? It’s that their home is in the far east, the wall is very high, and together with other people, they built a long security wall around the village.

???? They were probably the first guests to come to pay New Year's greetings. Village Chief Wei had already been wearing brand new clothes, sitting in the living room and waiting. !"

???? "Happy Chinese New Year!"

???? New Year's greetings to each other, gifts were presented, and the grandson of the village head's family brought everyone a bowl of sugar water.

???? At this time, tea is an expensive thing, and most people can't afford it.

???? Sugar water is already a very good drink for entertaining guests. Of course, there are fried peanuts and melon seeds on the plate and sugar cubes in the small bowl.

????Of course, there are hazelnuts and pine nuts that are special products on the mountain.

???? These are local products that rely on the mountains to eat, but it is already very good to be able to serve people at this time.

????Old Xiao’s family doesn’t have these two things yet!

????Because Tie Qing came late, everyone has almost picked up all the hazelnuts and pine nuts. The old Xiao's family is old and small, and they don't have the ability to make any delicacies.

???? I picked a lot of mushrooms and fungus, but I can't do anything about the rest.

???? Sitting down to chat, Village Chief Wei said directly: "Look, Uncle Yang left at the beginning of the year. There is still a lack of a villager in this village. I want you to come. What do you think? "

???? "Me?" Old Chief Xiao was stunned: "Can I do it?"

???? "What's wrong? You can be regarded as a person who is anxious and righteous, and has a good reputation in the village, and you are over 50 years old!" Village head Wei blinked: "I'll forget it for you For a moment, is 45 years old enough?"

????Old boss Xiao nodded: "I'm 45 years old, almost half a hundred!"

???? Tieqing looked at the old boss Xiao, 45 years old?Looks like sixty, right?It turned out to be 45 years old.

???? Besides, Old Xiao Boss is not in good health and doesn't have much strength to work, but thinking of getting married in his teens in ancient times, and becoming a grandfather in his thirties, Tie Qing is not so entangled.

????Let’s talk about ordinary people farming for a living. They have a lot of work and are very tired.

The two of them were chatting, only then did Tie Qing know that the old head Xiao got married at the age of 20, and had several children, one son and one daughter who did not stand still, followed by Xiao Wei, who went to serve as a soldier and died in battle ;The last one is Xiaogeer.

????According to the regulations of this era, generally after the age of 45, one is considered to be an elderly person, because the quality of life in this era is not very good, and there is a lot of work. Whenever there is something like illness, you will endure it. I couldn't bear to go to the doctor, but most of them looked down on the doctor and couldn't afford the medicine.

????So even if the imperial court enlists labor, no one over the age of 45 is required.
