Married a scholar

▍The big stick comes first, and the sweet date comes after.

A family of five is a death contract.

Meng Yining and the other five went to the cloth shop first. Not only did he and Xia Wenze need to buy cloth for their clothes, but the five people who bought them also needed clothes and quilts.

After buying the cloth, I went to the candy shop to buy some melon and fruit snacks, some for myself, and some for entertaining the village chief and several elders who were helping to come and go.

Passing by a pork stall, I went to buy some pork bones and meat.

Xia Wenze asked the middle-aged man with a serious look, "I heard that there is a place selling fish fry and fruit trees in Guqu County, do you know?"

He Chengye replied: "There is a village called Qianjiapo in front of the county seat. The whole village makes a living by selling fish, and it is also called a fish village by outsiders. There is a village near Baoyan County where the landlord's home has a large mountain of fruit trees with various varieties. .”

He Fangliang said in a muffled voice from the side: "I went to that Xiangmu Village when I followed the second young master." It was the village where the landlord was.

Xia Wenze nodded slightly to show that he understood. Since there is news about the fish fry and fruit trees, he is not in a hurry to buy them back.The fish pond has not been dug yet, and Jiajiao Mountain has not been tidied up.

With nothing more to buy, Xia Wenze took Meng Yining to rent a bullock cart outside the city, and drove home with He Chengye's family of five.

Because I got up early in the morning, I didn't stay long in the county town, so it was not past noon when I returned to the village.

Meng Yining took Aunt He, his daughter and son into the kitchen and started cooking. The bought cloths were put in the main room first, and they came back to collect after eating.

Meng Yining said one by one to Aunt He who looked a little cautious: "This is a rice tank, this is an oil tank, this is sugar, salt, chili, and chili is a seasoning that is hotter than dogwood. Here It is the place to enter the cellar. The rice noodles and other things are all down there, so you can go down and get acquainted."

Meng Yining told them the things in the kitchen, "I'll leave the lunch to Aunt He, your mother and daughter, and I have to go to the field to see. Brother Yi and I will go around the field."

He Fangyi nodded quickly, "Good lord."

Meng Yining was taken aback by the lord's call, but he didn't come to correct the address right now. After handing over the kitchen to Aunt He, his mother and daughter, he took He Fangyi and left.

Xia Wenze took He Chengye and his father and son to the next door homestead. He was in charge of taking them to familiarize themselves with some things that required them to be responsible for nearby. Meng Yining needed to take He Fangyi to familiarize himself with the village, especially their fields.

Now their family is busy. Although things have been handed over, he and Xia Wenze can't be free. They both have to take care of the fields, mountains, building houses next door, opening kilns and firing bricks and tiles, etc. It's impossible to be a hands-off shopkeeper after a while.

At least not right now.

So sometimes he and Xia Wenze may not know where they are in these places. If something happens at home and the villagers can't find someone to call them for a while, He Fangyi needs to call someone.

Today's Shangyao Village is extremely lively. Many strangers came to the village, all of whom came to work in Shangqing Village.Xiaoqingshan is also bustling with noise.

Some clean up the mountains on the side of the corner, and some open kilns to burn bricks and tiles on the other side.

Those who were not selected to work, nor were they idle, the two or three got together to chat, talking about the big move of Xia Wenze's family this time.

Meng Yining took He Fangyi by the side of the sun dam, and those who were chatting under the trees by the side of the sun dam couldn't help but look this way.

Meng Yining pretended not to see it, and when he and Xia Wenze decided to buy land and build a house, they had already expected that people in the village would discuss them.At the beginning, he wanted to keep a low profile. First, his body didn't allow it at the time. Second, he wanted to be a salted fish for the time being. In addition, it was because of Xia Wenze.

But now that these three things are gone, he is naturally not afraid of being so high-profile that people notice him.

I met someone I knew on the road, and when I saw Meng Yining, I greeted them and said, "Where are you going, Brother Ning?"

"Sister-in-law Dazhu, I'll show Brother Yi around." Meng Yining introduced He Fangyi beside her, "This is Brother Yi from my family, and Brother Yi is Sister-in-law Dazhu."

Dazhu's sister-in-law glanced at He Fangyi with a smile, then turned to Meng Yining and said, "The head of my family is working in your house today, no, it's noon, I'll deliver his meals."

Dazhu's sister-in-law was very happy. The man from the previous family was still talking about going to the county to find a job. Who would have thought that the village chief came to her family yesterday and said that he would work for Ze Xiaozi's family, 35 yuan a day, regardless of food. .

The two of them were so happy, they didn't care about the food, it was right in front of the house, and at noon they would deliver food at noon, 35 yuan a day, which was much more than going to work in the county town.

So seeing Meng Yining now, sister-in-law Dazhu was very happy.

"Then sister-in-law Dazhu, I won't delay you to deliver meals to Brother Dazhu." Meng Yining stepped aside with a smile.

"Okay, I have to go quickly." Da Zhu's sister-in-law hurriedly left with her meal in hand.

Meng Yining then told He Fangyi about Zhao Dazhu's family, "Most people in the village are simple and simple, but there are also a few bad ones, and you will know when you get acquainted with them later."

"The other thing is Brother Aze's and I's family. You don't have to pay attention to them. You just need to remember that Brother Aze and I are your masters. For the rest, just superficial efforts are enough."

Naturally, Meng Yining explained these things clearly to He Fangyi early on, so as not to encounter Xia Meng's family being bullied and take advantage of it, "Just pay attention to these things, they don't have the guts to come over for the time being."

Especially the Meng family, it is estimated that they would not dare to come over to provoke him for a long time.

"Your servant knows, master." He Fangyi listened carefully, and remembered everything in his heart.

Meng Yining said: "You don't need to call yourself a slave, you can just call yourself a normal one." The lord is fine, he is not used to listening to slaves.Although he doesn't reject buying people, he can't treat people like slaves.

He Fangyi pursed his lips, "Yes, my lord, I understand."

He hadn't had lunch yet, and Meng Yining didn't take him around much, but just asked him to go for a walk in his own field.

"My lord, lunch is ready." Aunt He wiped her hands and came out when she heard the movement in the yard.

"Okay, bring the food to the table in the main room." Meng Yining paused for a moment, and then said: "Aunt He, there is no need to divide the table at noon today, let's eat together, and I will talk about it."

There were a lot of things to do in the afternoon, and he didn't bother to wait until after dinner to talk about it slowly, so he simply explained the family affairs at the dinner table, including the rules and so on.

Aunt He said hello, and He Fangyi said hello to Meng Yining, and after getting permission, he followed his aunt to the kitchen to help serve meals.

Meng Yining went to the next door and called Xia Wenze and the others back. When he saw the young lady who came out, he said, "Fang Fang, get some water and let them wash their hands."

When the three of them went to the homestead, they didn't just watch, they also followed suit.

"Good master." He Fangfang is only 13 years old this year, and she is still a little girl.Hearing the order, he quickly turned around and went back to the kitchen to fetch water.

Meng Yining handed the handkerchief to Xia Wenze. "How about over there?"

While wiping his hands, Xia Wenze said, "The stones, plants and trees on the house site have been cleaned up in the morning, and the foundation can be dug according to our drawings in the afternoon."

As the house is built bigger, more people are looking for it, and the efficiency of this work will naturally be faster.

Meng Yining said: "I'm going to Jiajiao Mountain in the afternoon to have a look. There are many trees there. Just ask them to clean up the mountain and saw the old trees for building houses. The small saplings will be dug out and planted around the periphery of Jiajiao Mountain. .”

Curly curly grass and bluegrass can be planted around the circle of trees, and it will not be so obtrusive.

"I'll go with you." Xia Wenze said, "Uncle He and the other two are in charge of watching over the homestead."

"Okay." Meng Yining beckoned people into the house for dinner, "Don't be so cautious, there are a lot of things at home right now, let's talk while eating, our family doesn't have that set of rules of not talking when eating."

He Chengye looked at his family and nodded slightly.

Meng Yining ate for a while, and then said: "I have to wrong Uncle He for a few days, the new house is under construction, and there is no extra room for you to sleep here. I will have someone build a thatched cottage for you in the afternoon. .” There are no vacant houses in the village to rent.

"It doesn't matter, the lord can let someone build the thatched house near the homestead, so we can help look over there." He Chengye didn't think it mattered. After this short time together, he could see that the two who bought them were good.As long as they don't have those dirty thoughts, it doesn't matter where their family sleeps, let alone just temporarily.

"Okay." Meng Yining nodded, "The other thing is that Aunt He will trouble you and Fang Fang to be in charge of the kitchen during this period. The weather is hot now, so you can boil some mung bean soup every day to cool down, and then send it to the homestead for People drink to relieve summer heat. Brother A Ze and I don’t need you to wash our clothes, Brother Yi will follow me, Brother Liang will follow Brother A Ze, and Uncle He will worry about building a house and other such things.”

Seeing that a few people listened seriously, Meng Yining didn't talk nonsense, and gave him a sweet date, "I don't have much to do with Aze, as long as you don't have bad thoughts and work wholeheartedly for This family, I will consider returning your deed of sale to you in the future."

To be honest, it doesn't matter to him whether he has a sell-off contract or not. If they really want to betray him, he has plenty of ways to make their lives worse than death.

The eyes of He Chengye and the others lit up when they heard the words, and they said restrainedly: "The master is serious?" If they can not be slaves, who doesn't want to be a good citizen, but it's a pity that their family was born as slaves. If the master's family doesn't show mercy, they have no freedom spoken.

"Naturally." Meng Yining said the ugly words first, "but the premise is that you don't betray me and Brother Aze, otherwise don't talk about restoring your freedom." Meng Yining didn't finish speaking, but He Chengye's family understood that they didn't finish. What does the word mean.

Their contract of selling their lives is a death contract, and life and death depend entirely on the two of them.

Whether they live or die depends on their future performance.

Well, it is possible to restore freedom, his son can marry an ordinary citizen, and his grandson may be able to take scientific examinations.His brother Yi and sister Fang can also marry a good family, and they don't have to be slaves or handmaids.

No, that would be life-threatening.
