In the main room, the village head, Wang Ronghua, concealed his triumphant heart, pretended to be earnest, and "teached" Lu Datian: "Brother Datian, you are not kind in doing this." He didn't like it. In the Lu family in the west of the village, this feeling of dislike is different from Wang Jinzhu's.Because when Lu Datian's grandson passed the examination for a scholar, someone spread the word that since the Lu family in the west of the village raised a scholar, then the village head should let the scholar's father or grandfather be the one.

Wang Ronghua has been the head of the village for more than ten years, and he still took over the position of head of the village from his father, and there is nothing wrong with it on weekdays.How can you be happy now that you are about to be robbed of your job?But thanks to the Wang family and other clan elders suppressing this matter, Wang Ronghua still sat firmly in the position of the village chief.But also because of this incident, he didn't like Lu Datian no matter what he looked at.

"...Although the Lu family in our village all have a genealogy, and they all know that you are relatively close to Guangming's family. But no matter how close you are, it is already five clothes. Your next generation is not good to Guangming's family. The relatives who are out of the fifth service, this is far away. You said that you are so old and take your family to live with relatives, and let your old daughter-in-law grab the money bag of others. It's too ugly. If other villages don't know it, they will think that the elders in our village bully the younger ones like this."

Lu Datian was smoking a dry cigarette, and Nuonuo nodded in agreement.He really has nothing in his life, the most glorious thing is to raise two young masters and a scholar master.This matter is enough for him to brag and show off to others outside. As for the situation at home, Lu Zhangshi basically controls it.

Lu Guangming and his wife are really weak, Lu and Zhang promised some illusory benefits, and these two couples brought a big family and started working hard for their family.Knowing this, Lu Datian felt guilty for a while, but it was only for a while.

Now the three scholars in his family are provided by their own family, and at the same time, they can get a sum of money from Lu Guangming's family to support them. do dowry.

It never occurred to him that Lu Qianshan, who was laid off and came back to seek life and death all day long, suddenly exploded. He ran against their family with words, and each one was unfilial, which made his forehead feel cold.He thought that Lu Guangming's family was controlled by his old wife, and that this yard would belong to the Lu family in the west of their village, but he never expected...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help complaining about his old daughter.Isn't it just two rabbit legs?It's not that she hasn't eaten it before. If it's really rare, when Lu Guangming comes back from the town and goes to the mountains to hunt a few, she can eat enough.Why didn't he open his eyes and ran to grab someone's house, and was yelled out.

If this news gets out, the old girl will lose all face, how can she talk about kissing in the future?

Wang Ronghua Balabala talked for a long time, and found that Lu Datian's expression was dim, and he obviously didn't listen to him much, so he couldn't help being a little annoyed, "Brother, what are you thinking?"

Lu Datian came back to his senses, and said: "I didn't think about anything, we should go back, I was thinking...whether I should borrow a car to move."

As soon as the words were finished, a clear and laughing voice came from outside, "Oh, why is little aunt picking the crack of the door here? Do you want to listen in and listen." As he spoke, the door curtain was lifted, and Lu Qianshan and Zeng Hongmei walked in.Behind them, there was Lu Xiuxiu's humming face.

Holding a roll of paper in his hand, Lu Qianshan said with a smile: "What kind of car do you need to borrow? It's not that troublesome. At the beginning, the third grandpa and the third grandma came here with a bag, and so did the fourth and fifth uncles. They didn't bring anything. They came into my house The food and drink here are all paid by my family, and there are clothes for the four seasons, how can the third grandpa and the third grandma prepare them by themselves?"

"Pfft..." Wang Jinzhu laughed out loud, "It will be convenient to move in this way, and you can just go back with your luggage."

Lu Datian's face turned blue and red, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Wang Ronghua also wanted to laugh, but held back.

Zeng Hongmei was holding a wooden tray with several large porcelain bowls filled with hot water.

Lu Qianshan drained the water and said, "I have to drink some water after talking for a long time. I put sugar in it. Grandpa, the village chief, can you taste the sweetness?"

Wang Ronghua took a sip from the porcelain bowl, and said with a smile, "Sweet." He looked at the scroll in Lu Qianshan's hand, and asked, "What is this?"

Lu Qianshan said: "My mother knew that the third grandpa and the third grandma were going to move out, so she really couldn't bear it, but she couldn't stop the old man from letting him go. But I'm afraid that the third grandpa and the third grandma are getting old, and there are so many fragments inside and out that can't be clearly distinguished. .And I heard that the third grandpa and the third grandma couldn't help but want to move out, and they wanted to keep the rent and the extra food money for the past few years, so they brought me the account book."

Zhou's family also runs a small business. His father started out as a shopkeeper. He taught his son and daughter to settle accounts since he was a child, and he also developed the habit.In fact, Zhou's family has a bit of a family background. When they married Lu Guangming, they saw that Lu Guangming was the eldest in the family. They didn't have any younger siblings when they were seventeen or eighteen, and their parents were all kind.Although there are few brothers and sisters and less labor force, the Zhou family can directly manage the family when they marry, which is considered a good marriage.

Zhou's habit has not been lost, how much food is harvested every year, and how much is sold.How much money Lu Guangming and his eldest son can earn when they go out to help workers, how much they can sell their chickens, pigs, eggs, etc., and all kinds of odds and ends, such as buying soy sauce and cloth heads, are all clear. I wrote it down.

To be honest, Lu Qianshan was a little stunned when he saw the account book Zhou had brought out.He really can't underestimate the wisdom of these low-level working people, who will always surprise people unexpectedly.

Lu Qianshan flipped through the account book and said, "Third grandfather and three grandma have lived in our house for six years. For the first half of the year, only three grandpa and three grandma lived. My mother is filial, so I won't ask them for rent. During the six years, the money for food, pork The money from selling chickens and eggs, as well as the money earned by my father and my brother were given to the third grandma. Since the third grandma is going to move out, the money will be handed over directly to my sister-in-law. From now on, my sister-in-law will also be in charge of my family .

There is also the rent of the fourth and fifth uncles. I asked, if we rent a yard as big as ours in the county, it will cost at least ten taels of silver a year. However, we are in the countryside, but we have four seasons with food and lodging included. Clothes, ten taels a year is not too much, what do you think, uncles and grandpas? "

Wang Ronghua discussed with several clan elders, and felt that the price was not too high. After all, although living in a county town is expensive, food and clothing cost money, right?

Lu Xiuxiu was shocked when she heard it, and hurried back to tell Lu Zhang.When Mrs. Lu Zhang heard that it would cost so much money, she jumped off the kang angrily, rushed over and scolded, "I'm sorry, you shameless bastard, your family is rich in gold and silver? Do you want me ten taels of silver a year? I'll bah! I'll give you a slap!!" As he said that, he wanted to come up and scratch Lu Qianshan, but Lu Qianshan quickly stood up and dodged, hiding behind Wang Jinzhu, and said with an uneasy look: "But, the third grandpa said he was renting my house, Is this... is it possible to plan to live in vain?"

Lu Datian also felt that there was a lot of money, so he didn't want to say anything, so he let his old wife make trouble, maybe it would be cheaper.But Wang Ronghua and Wang Jinzhu couldn't just watch them make trouble.

Wang Jinzhu laughed and said: "No, my third aunt's ears are really sharp, and she can hear what we say from such a long distance. From now on, we men have to hide from my third aunt when we talk, and stay away. .”

Wang Ronghua also said: "Brother, is it possible that you really plan to eat and live for free? Well, it's not nice to say that."

With a fever on his face, Lu Datian hurriedly said: "How can you eat and live for free, it's just...it's too expensive, right?"

Lu Qianshan shook his account book and said with a smile: "It's really not expensive. The third grandfather drinks two or two drinks a day, eats meat every ten days, and adds clothes every season. Not only does the third grandfather and three grandmother need new clothes, but Even my little aunt, fourth uncle, fifth uncle, fourth aunt and fifth aunt, as well as Qianduo and Hua'er from the fourth aunt's family, and the eldest girl from the fifth aunt's family all have new clothes. By the way, my fifth uncle's pen, ink, paper and inkstone are all It’s from the business, this money...is it possible that my family has to pay? My mother said, the three grandfathers and three grandmothers eat, drink and spend new clothes, and so on. It’s considered filial piety, but other people..."

Wang Ronghua sneered and said, "Yeah, what are other people? Not only other people, why do elder brothers and sisters have sons and daughters of their own, but ask others to be filial?"

"It's a black heart! I serve you food and drink every day, and I'm wrong!! Why didn't God kill those black hearts, they can't live!!" The more he counted, the more he couldn't hit Lu Qianshan, so he just lay down on the ground and started spitting.

Lu Qianshan pretended not to see, he flipped through his account book again, and said with an ouch: "My third grandma is sick, right? Sister-in-law, do you know where the ginseng nourishing pills that third grandma usually eats are kept? Hurry up and give it to me." The third grandma eats it. Speaking of which, the Yangrong pill that the third grandma eats is bought by my mother as her own hairpin bracelet."

Lu Datian's hands were trembling, and he shouted anxiously: "Get up quickly, what are you doing here? Go back to the Westinghouse!!"

Watching the excitement, Wang Jinzhu didn't think it was a big deal, and said, "Don't go, Third Aunt's body is really not good, how can I let people buy Yangrong Pills from Guangming's family as jewelry? Those things are not cheap. Third uncle, you can't let the Guangming family take this money."

Lu Datian's face was as bitter as if soaked in Coptis chinensis, he quickly said: "How could it be, no, we will pay for this money ourselves..."

"It's what she's willing to buy for me, not what I'm willing to buy!" Lu Zhang quickly jumped up and said loudly: "She's willing to pay for me!"

"Why are people willing to pay for you? Their children don't have four seasons clothes, so they are willing to buy you Yangrong pills as jewelry? Old sister, you have to be clear about this matter, and others will not recognize it if you tell it. Lier." Wang Ronghua's face darkened, "If you don't know, you think that the scholar's family is not willing to support you old couple, and let you old couple go to someone else's house to eat Yangrong pills."
