Married a scholar

▍I'll let Brother Aze join my Meng family! !

Meng Yining didn't do anything else, but when he was cooking at noon, he saw a few bulbs of garlic in the bamboo basket next to the cupboard, and thought about planting them.

Stir-fried bacon with garlic sprouts is delicious.

There are seven heads of garlic, and the garlic cloves add up to only nearly one hundred, so there is not much room for it.

Meng Yining simply stuck at the root of the fence in the backyard and walked along it.

In the morning, the dew was heavy, the sun was not too high, and it was still a bit cold with a small wind.

Meng Yining hurried into the room and added an extra dress.

The modified clothes are worn inside, and his patched clothes are still on the outside, and he doesn't feel bad if his work clothes are damaged or dirty.

After looking at the soaked peas and beans, it is estimated that they may not be able to be planted today.

After tidying up the kitchen and the house, Meng Yining looked at the two little chickens before heading to his place.

I met a young man on the road, who greeted Meng Yining with a smile.

"Brother Ashin, where are you going?" The person who came was Xu Xin, who was married to Shangyao Village from another village.

"The child's uncle came to help with the spring plowing. No, I'll go to the town to buy some meat." Xu Xin was cheerful, and when he said that his elder brother came to help, the smile on his face widened a bit.

"Zhao Butcher's family doesn't sell meat?" Although Zhao Butcher's family also sells meat in the town, they will save some meat to sell to the villagers cheaply after killing pigs.

Xu Xin looked around and saw that there was no one there, so he lowered his voice and said, "Zhao Butcher's family went to town early this morning."

"Is it because of what happened yesterday?" Meng Yining also lowered his voice, as if they were whispering something.

"That's not it." Xu Xin saw that there was no unhappy expression on his face, so he said to him: "Zhao Butcher's family didn't want to give up the family in the town, and Aunt Zhao Liu didn't want Yunniang to be a concubine. The chief and the Zhao clan put pressure on Zhao Xiucai to marry Yunniang as his wife."

Xu Xin was a little shocked when he heard it.

Country people, not to mention ordinary wives, some families find it difficult to even marry a wife, but Zhao Butcher's family is not doing well, and even married two.

But this matter is not something outsiders like them can talk about. Yunniang's matter is a bit big, if Zhao Xiucai's family does not marry Yunniang, it is likely that Yunniang will not be able to marry a good family.

Meng Yining did not expect Xia Wenze's guess to be so accurate, but he felt that even if Yunniang married, life would not be so good.It's called Ping Wife, but it's just a nice name, although I don't know why the young lady in the town fell in love with Zhao Zhonghe, and she would rather marry to this rural place.Now people have not entered the door, they want more sisters, tsk.

I also know that the other party will not accept it so calmly.

From now on, Zhao Tuhu's house will be lively.

The person Xu Xin married was from the Zhao family, and he knew more about it. He had long been displeased with Zhao Tuhu's family.

It's just that his son has been selected as a scholar, not to mention Baiyanlang's resignation, and he is also showing off in the clan.It's like his family is the only scholar in the clan.

There are still two scholars and one Juren in the Zhao clan.

Although Zhao Zhonghe is indeed the youngest among them, so what, virtue is not worthy of talents, and whether he can pass the exam is a problem.

The two chatted for a while, and seeing that the sun was high, they said goodbye to each other and went to their own things.

When Meng Yining came to the field, Xia Wenze had already dug around.

Meng Yining took a look and saw that Xia Wenze was using his left hand to wield the hoe, so he couldn't help laughing and shaking his head, this man is really cautious.Seeing a smaller hoe on the edge of the ground, he asked, "Is this hoe for me?"

"Yes." Xia Wenze straightened up and shook his hands, "See if this hoe is in good use. If it's easy to use, go to town tomorrow and buy one like this."

"Okay, I'll try." Meng Yining took the hoe and started to loosen the soil, and found that the hoe was quite light, not as bulky as those hoes that Yuan Chen used before, "This hoe is pretty good, not heavy."

"Then buy a hoe like this." Xia Wenze used his left hand to loosen the soil, and his movements were not as fast as Meng Yining's.

Meng Yining had the memory of the original owner, coupled with the conditioned reflex of the body, the soil loosened in a row, except that it was a little uncomfortable to bend over, and it didn't feel like much effort.

The waist discomfort is due to the original owner's illness, and the reason is that the body is not recovering quickly.

"Are these pieces of land all ours?" Meng Yining straightened up and looked around. One mu of land is not a whole piece of land, but divided into several pieces of land, and there are about three pieces of land around.The sundries inside have been cleaned up, and the only thing left is to loosen the soil.

"Yes." Xia Wenze pointed to him, "there are three yuan here." The three yuan add up to one mu of land.

"Brother Aze, we'll use this larger piece of land to grow wheat, and I'm going to plant the other two pieces of land." At that time, he thought that one mu of land was a whole piece of land, but he didn't expect it to be separated. Well, what they are loosening now is the largest piece inside, so this piece will be used to grow wheat.The other two pieces, one is used to grow potatoes, and the other is used to grow peanuts.

There is a hand-operated oil press in his space, and he can extract oil by himself by growing some peanuts.There is also vegetable oil here, but this oil is more expensive than lard.Therefore, people here actually use very little oil when cooking, and it looks like it is boiled.It is because oil is expensive.

Stir-frying with lard is delicious, but eating too much is not good for your health, so it must be vegetable oil.

"Okay." Xia Wenze obeyed him.

There were other people busy in the field not far from them, seeing the two of them busy here, they looked up from time to time.

Meng Yining didn't have the habit of shouting and chatting with people from a distance, so he just let people watch.

Xia Wenze's movements were slower, and after a morning, the ground was loosened a lot.

Meng Yining moved faster than him. The two of them worked on this piece of land for a whole morning, and turned over about half of it. There were still two pieces of land. Calculated, it would take more than three days to finish the search.

It was almost noon, Meng Yining got up and moved his waist, and greeted Xia Wenze who was not far away, "Brother Aze, I'm going back, take a rest after lunch and then come out to work."

Xia Wenze got up, "No, you go back and cook, I'll look through it for a while."

Seeing that he was in good spirits, Meng Yining ignored him, "Okay, then I'll go back and cook, and I'll bring it to you later. If you're tired, just sit and rest for a while, it's not too late."

"know."

Meng Yining went back and quickly made one meat and one vegetable, plus an egg and seaweed soup. He didn't eat it himself, so he hurried over to the field for two people.

From a distance, I saw a circle of people around my house, and my heart tightened, so I hurried over.

"This land is yours? If you have the money to buy the land, don't you have the money to come back and have a look at us?" A woman's voice came out sharply, "Why, do you think that you don't have to honor me and your father after we split up. No way, when we How much money was spent on you, and now all the money is gone because of your ghostly appearance. Now it’s good, I have money to buy land.”

Meng Yining squeezed into the crowd, and saw Xia Wenze being scolded by a woman pointing at her nose, while Xia Wenze pursed his lips tightly, his face darkened, "I give you 100 Wen every month."

"100 Wen?" The woman's voice was high-pitched, "If you save money to buy land, just give me and your father 100 Wen. You are really a debt collector. I don't care, you have to give us this land, just treat it as the money we spent in those years. money on you."

"Hey, Fifth Xia's daughter-in-law, Kid Ze gave you some money." An aunt who couldn't stand it couldn't help but speak out for Xia Wenze.

"That's right, Kid Ze is not good at using his right hand, and it's hard to support himself. Look at this morning, if it wasn't for Ning Geer's help, this place might be so busy. Besides, Ze The boy is so old, it is not normal to save some money to buy land, how many acres of good land is your family, and you are not allowed to buy some land to support yourself?" Another aunt was also a little bit reluctant.

"That's right, Kid Ze won you a lot of credit when he was good. Now that's the case, you don't like him and can't wait to divide him up. Why do you want to buy a piece of land for you?" An uncle beside him frowned, "When you separated, I was there, and I made it clear that from now on, Kid Ze only needs to give you a gift on the New Year's Day. If you are sick, you will share the medical expenses with the boss and the second, and I will give you 100 yuan a month. The rest is out of your control."

The uncle who spoke was an uncle in the Xia clan, and he was also present when Xia Wu and his wife were arguing about the separation of the family.

The Xiawu couple said at the time that they didn't need Ze boy to help the family with other things. It seemed that they felt sorry for Ze boy, but in fact, they believed that Xia Wenze had been like this for the rest of his life. The family helped him, so he wrote the rules and regulations clearly and clearly.

"So what, I told him about Brother Ning's family, and I gave the bride price." Fifth Xia's daughter-in-law looked rascally, she didn't care what these people said, but the fourth child had the money to buy such a gift. A good piece of land, this land costs more than ten taels of silver per mu.

"I'll give you the dowry money." Xia Wenze didn't want to tell her too much. He gave up when the parents agreed to the request of the eldest brother and the second brother to separate the family regardless of his injury.He didn't forget the disgust and disgust in their eyes when they looked at him.

"Give me what." Meng Yining walked in, handed the basket in his hand to Xia Wenze, and stood in front of him, blocking him behind him, looking at the woman in front of him, his face was very cold, " What gift did you give? Opening your mouth is the gift, I will ask someone to call my grandma over, I want to ask, when did you give her the gift, why don’t I know. "

It was true that there was no dowry, the two families had discussed it in private at the time, and before the details could be reached, the original body died of a fever, and he didn't wait for that time when he came over, so he ran to Xia Wenze's house with all the money , Where did the bride price come from?

"You, Brother Ning, let me tell you, you haven't been included in our Xia family tree yet, I don't recognize you, you can't be my son's husband." Being exposed, Xia Wu's daughter-in-law's face turned pale.

"Heh, who asked you to admit it?" Meng Yining sneered, "I can't join your Xia family, so I will let Brother Aze join my Meng family. I only hope that your Xia family will not regret it in the future." Especially your family Don't regret it.

"Nonsense." The village head rushed over when he heard the commotion, lightly scolded Meng Yining, and then looked at Xia Wenzeniang with a serious face, "Fifth Xia's daughter-in-law, this place does not belong to Mr. Ze. It's useless. Also, kid Zaze is still your son, do you need to give him the last bit of affection?"

Meng Yining shrugged, turned around and took Xia Wenze's hand and squeezed it, as a comfort.

Xia Wenze held his hand back, and the coldness in his heart dissipated little by little.
