Xianggong is a big man in men's clothing

People in the village work at sunrise and rest at sunset. This time is only Maoshi, and the sky is slightly bright, but ordinary farmers have already woken up to prepare breakfast.

Villagers with average family backgrounds only eat two meals a day, except during the busy farming season, while a wealthy family like the village head will prepare three meals a day, and meat and vegetables are often prepared on the table.

When Qi Zhongyu and Lu Dongfu went to the courtyard next door to greet the village chief, the village chief and his wife Yao Shi had already woken up. The village chief was wearing thin clothes and standing in the courtyard playing Wu Qinxi. Sassy, ​​but extremely rare.

And Mrs. Yao was sitting under the big tree in the yard, holding a copy of "The Analects of Confucius", randomly selecting a sentence from the book, and asking the ten-year-old boys standing in front of him the meaning of this sentence.

A few adults were standing not far away chatting, and smoke rose from the direction of the kitchen, as if they were about to prepare breakfast.

Although Lu Dongfu, as the bride, has to prepare breakfast for her husband's family, it is impossible for her to contract the meals for a dozen people by herself. She only needs to cook a few special dishes, and other dishes will be served Prepare.

She and Qi Zhongyu went forward to say hello to the village head. The village head looked at the two with a smile. Dong Fu stood together, the husband and wife were extremely handsome, and looked pleasing to the eye.

The village chief was in a good mood, and said with a smile, "Since we are newly married, why don't we sleep a little longer? Our Qi family is not a family with complicated rules and regulations. You just need to have this kind of filial piety to your elders, and you don't need to follow those red tapes."

Qi Zhongyu said: "Thinking of the special situation today, I came here early to say hello to my second uncle and aunt. I didn't expect my second uncle to wake up earlier, but we were negligent."

The village head laughed heartily, and said: "Old people don't doze off so much, and with the busy farming season coming up, I have a lot of village affairs on hand, and I need to deal with them as soon as possible, so I just wake up." It's earlier than before. You have already woken up very early today, so my nephew and daughter-in-law should go to the kitchen to cook first. You don't need to make too many novel dishes, just simple and simple ones will do."

Lu Dongfu obediently responded and went to help in the kitchen.

She rolled up her sleeves as she walked, and when she entered the kitchen, she saw that the kitchen was spacious and bright, and several people were busy, two of whom she knew. It was Cheng Shi, the second sister-in-law of the Qi family, who had Danfeng eyes and a sharp mouth.

In addition, there are two strange middle-aged women who should be hired by the village head's family to help cook.

After all, the second sister-in-law of the Qi family, Cheng, followed her husband to do business in Siyuan County all year round, and only came back a few times occasionally; and Qi Jiawan married the wife of a government school in Siyuan County, and stayed in the county most of the time, so this family served the elders. Only Qi family's sister-in-law, Liao Shi, is the only one.

It is really difficult for Mrs. Liao to cook for the whole family by herself, so the village head hired women from the village to help with the cooking.

And the facts were almost the same as what she had guessed. The sister-in-law of the Qi family said with a gentle smile: "The new wife got up really early. We just steamed the rice in the pot. Come and see the fresh ingredients in the kitchen. What do you want to do today?" Which two dishes do you want to cook?"

Generally, a new wife can cook two dishes, but Lu Dongfu is proficient in cooking, so she plans to cook two more.

She looked at the fresh vegetables piled up in the corner of the kitchen, and said with a smile, "I plan to make plum cakes, squirrel fish, raw braised fish heads, and mushroom and cabbage soup."

These few dishes are home-cooked dishes. They are quick and time-consuming to prepare, and the taste is in line with the taste of most people in Huainan Road. They should not be wrong.

The second sister-in-law of the Qi family let out a sigh and said, "These are four kinds of dishes, and I like to eat them all. Today we have a good time."

Lu Dongfu responded with a smile, and went to pick out the ingredients for cleaning and making.

On the other side, after the village chief finished playing Wu Qin Xi, he took the handkerchief from his wife Yao, wiped the sweat from his forehead, breathed out, and said, "I have been worrying about your marriage before, and thought you This life is going to be messed around like this, and I have planned a few retreats for you in my heart, but I didn't expect you to think about it first, and said that you want to get married, and you got married in a few days, so very good."

"Now that you are married and have a family, you need to plan more for your future life. Listen to your second uncle and don't keep running to Yuenan Mountain. There are too many snakes, insects, rats and ants on the mountain, and occasionally there are ferocious beasts." Drill out from the deep mountains to look for food. Although you are strong in martial arts, you will always take a nap, so go back and live in the yard next door. If you have a headache, the second uncle can take care of you. If nothing else, at least you don’t need it Worried about safety."

He earnestly said, and continued: "I know you are capable. You can be a hunter in the mountains, but you can't guarantee that you can hunt rich prey every time. Yuenan Mountain is such a big land, and you have to give it to the wild animals in the mountains. Calculated in this way, the time for rest and recuperation is not as good as ordinary farmers. Now that you have married a wife and started a family, you can’t let your wife and future son live with you on the mountain. Back then, your father He passed away unexpectedly, and the land under his name is kept by me. After many years of operation, it has already reached hundreds of acres. I know that you know little about farming, so you don’t need to cultivate the land yourself. You only need to pay attention to it during the busy farming season. Just don’t miss the work in the field.”

The village head became more and more excited as he talked, and even imagined the distant future, saying: "When your wife gives birth in the future, it doesn't matter if you two young people can't take care of you. Son, if it’s a boy, I can teach him to read and take scientific exams; if it’s a girl, I’ll follow your second aunt to learn how to manage the house and settle accounts, and in the future I’ll marry a young student from Siyuan County who has both ability and political integrity..."

He was thinking about the future, and when he heard his wife Yao coughing, he hurried back from where he had strayed, and said with a smile: "If you are not used to such a comfortable and idle life, you can go to Siyuan County to form a caravan. Leading a caravan to do business with your second brother's family, you can earn a lot of money in a year, and you can also use it to travel all over the famous mountains and rivers, and make friends with heroes all over the world, wouldn't this day be fun and carefree?"

The village chief is really thinking about this nephew. He has actually been thinking about these words for a long time in his heart, but before that, his nephew didn't like anything and didn't listen to anything. Nodding in agreement, let alone anything else.

Every time the village head thinks of this stubborn nephew, he gets a severe headache and feels sorry for his elder brother and sister-in-law who died young.

But the current situation is different. After a man marries a wife, the next step is to have a child. With concerns and responsibilities in his heart, he also has desire and ambition. He wants to come from a nephew who has traveled all over the world for more than ten years, and he has also trained a whole body. With a good skill, there are gaps in my heart.

Instead of being a hunter in the mountains who depends on the sky, it is better to use this ability to do a greater cause.

Men are born to want to make contributions, and my nephew must be no exception.

However, Qi Zhongyu is not a man, she is a woman. If it is said that in the beginning of time travel, she fantasized about getting rich, but after staying in this different world for more than ten years, she already knew that there are no easy things in this world.

But if she wants to make any achievements, she needs to deal with more trivial matters. She doesn't have the patience and motivation.

For her, hunting for a living was fine, she didn't have to work hard to support herself, and she had plenty of time to hunt for the two things she had to find.

She doesn't know what the future will hold. Now, she just wants to guard the tombs in the mountain, and she will talk about it after this year.

So, she shook her head and said, "I know Second Uncle is all about me, but I also have my own ideas. I don't want to leave Yuenan Mountain for the time being. I want to tear down the thatched hut in the mountain and build a yard on the spot."

The village chief was stunned for a moment, then he became angry and said, "Still building a yard? Didn't you hear what I said just now?"

His voice was not low, and several young men who were standing and chatting, stepped forward upon hearing this, and turned their gazes around Qi Zhongyu and the village chief. One of the seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys sneered and said, "Father, I think you're just flirting with blind people, they don't want to accept your favor at all, you just worry about it after a busy day."

The village chief glared at his youngest son angrily, scolded him a few words, then turned his head to look at Qi Zhongyu again, and said with a disappointed expression: "Zhong Yu, hey, if you talk about you, I don't understand..."

Mrs. Yao patted his ups and downs on the back, and said softly: "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. If you press the cow's head to drink water, you're not making fun of yourself. You might as well talk to Zhong Yu. Zhong Yu is a good boy. Believe that he has his own reasons for doing so, you should listen first before you speak."

The village head nodded wearily, and said, "That's fine, you go to the study with me, and let's close the door and talk about what's on our minds."

As he said that, he walked towards the study room first, Qi Zhongyu was stared at by the young man several times, and she followed without looking sideways.

After arriving at the study, the village head did not speak in a hurry, but lit the fire to boil water. The fire was so powerful that it was ready in a short time.

Qi Zhongyu took the initiative to brew two cups of hot tea with boiling water, and handed a cup to the village chief. It took several years to gradually gain a foothold, but unfortunately caught wind and cold, the two elderly people passed away, and only my eight-year-old brother and I, who are only two years old, are left in the family."

"We have no relatives to rely on, and the little money we saved at home was spent on medical treatment and funerals for our parents, leaving only a shelter from the wind and rain. It was my elder brother, that is, your father, who was begging for food. You worked hard to bring me up."

"My brother is capable. When he was about ten years old, he went to the county town to find a job. Although he was young, he was willing to work hard. He rushed to do any dirty work, and his brain was flexible. He was fourteen or five years old. When I was young, I saved a considerable amount of wealth. He was supposed to be married and married, but he didn't have the thought to take care of me, so he used the money to start a business, and the family became rich because of it."

"My brother had a long-term vision, and then he wanted to change his family, so he sent me to study in a private school in Siyuan County. I cherish this opportunity very much. I studied very hard. At the age of 16, I was admitted as a scholar. The first talented person to be born, our Qi family is now considered prosperous, the matchmaker who came to the door almost broke the threshold, it was my brother who helped me arrange an excellent marriage, and married your second aunt Yao."

"After a few days later, my brother fell in love with your mother, got married and had a son with you. When you were two years old, my brother suddenly said that he had found a way to make money in maritime trade, and he dragged his family to Lingnan Road. At first, it was true. I earned a lot of money, and now the Qi family's property is all the money that my brother saved and sent to me."

"It's a pity that the good times don't last long. My brother encountered an accident when he went to sea to run a boat. He lost his man and the boat, and his sister-in-law died too. It is said that you were picked up by my brother's good brother, and you have disappeared since then. .”

"I go to Lingnan Road every year to look for your whereabouts. When I was discouraged, you ran back last year by yourself. I know you are the son of my brother. After all, you look very similar to your sister-in-law. As a relic, some habits are exactly the same as my brother's."

His eyes were stained red, and he sighed and said: "I was thinking about it. Now that you can stand in front of me safely and healthily, the biggest regret in my life has been fulfilled. You are also 25 or [-] years old. I believe You have your own considerations in doing things, and I don't ask too much, I just want to come back to visit me and your second aunt often in the future, don't play down this blood relationship."

Qi Zhongyu listened quietly, filled with emotion.

If she was the real Qi Zhongyu, she would definitely listen to the village chief's second uncle and live in the exquisite house that the second uncle built for her, inheriting the property left by Qi Changgui.

But she is not.

What the village head didn't know was that his elder brother Qi Changgui didn't die at sea, but returned to the shore alive, saw his son who was starved to death in the dungeon with his own eyes, and went crazy ever since...
