Jia Huan's rebirth and revenge

Qiushan Village is where Qi's natal family is located, and most of the people there have the surname Qi, which is very different from the fishing village. There are only sixteen households in the fishing village, but they are divided into five surnames, but the Qi's natal family belongs to this village. The poorest category, the family's grandparents have accumulated only three acres of medium-sized fields and five acres of sloping land. Because they have two sons, they were separated when the family was separated. The lower one is a mud embryo house with three rooms and four sides with a large yard, while the second child has the five acres of sloping land, and a mud embryo three rooms and two rooms built by the two families together at the corner of the village closest to the slope. Side house yard.The two families had no less children, and each family had three or four children. As a result, the family naturally became more and more difficult.

It is precisely because the family is not very rich that the Qi family, who was the youngest sister, was unable to make a good marriage. It is always difficult for a woman without a dowry to marry, and because of the delay due to filial piety At the age of 17, which is the age of an old girl in this era, I reluctantly gave it to Jia Huan's father, who has a three-room house in a fishing village and a fishing boat as a fixed asset. There are no elderly people to support economically well-to-do households.

The fishing village is always not prosperous. In fact, it has something to do with the difficulty of getting married in this fishing village. The girls in the fishing village are a little better when they marry. The men in this village are willing to marry, but it is very difficult for the men in this village to marry a wife. If you can solve it in your own village, that would be a great fortune. Otherwise, you will have to wait until your early twenties to marry a wife. Well, there are several young and strong families in the village who are all widows. If it weren't for this, I don't know when they will be single.

This time, the few around Xing Geer are all bachelors. They are better than Xing Geer, and they don't always get together, but they are still good with Xing Geer. There is a big relationship, and there is brother Xing's uncle's family. There are two cousins ​​who are not married yet. Although they are not young, they are sixteen and have no dowry, but they are good candidates for daughter-in-law after all.

Didn't he just come to the entrance of the village, the third brother came up to him and said to Brother Xing:

"Brother Xing, don't you want to visit your uncle's house?"

He is the least eager of the three. He is only 17 years old. He has a fifteen-year-old elder sister, a twelve-year-old second younger sister, and a ten-year-old younger brother. Even with the help of his two younger sisters, he may be able to marry a wife. It's not like the two people on the side who don't have any sisters, they are all in a hurry, and one of them even hit his sister's idea.It's a pity that the elder sister of his family has promised to the youngest son of the village chief's family, and they should get married after the new year, unless they are willing to wait a few years for his second sister to grow up.

It's just that he likes to join in the fun the most. Looking at the eager and eager faces of those two, he wanted to tease them, so he came up to attract Brother Xing to talk, and by the way, he aimed his eyes at the two people. As expected, one Attracted everyone's attention, and those with pricked ears can be compared to rabbits.

Zhang Dezhu, who was the oldest, already in his twenties, blushed even more.I couldn't stop looking at Brother Xing. He is the son of the most powerful fish killer in the village, Zhang Tou, and he is the only son. It is said that the family still has a boat and a house, so the conditions should be fine, but who? Let his family still have an old lady who has been ill for more than a year and died for less than three years. Not to mention that she has not passed the filial piety, but because she has been seeing a doctor for a year, she has already tossed out her family's wealth and owed a lot of foreign debts. Well, under such circumstances, who would dare to marry their daughter to him.

For his marriage, not to mention Lao Zhang is anxious, even he himself is anxious. If he, the only son, doesn't hurry up to get married and have a child, then their old Zhang's family will die, and he is careful. After thinking about it for a long time, I found that the person I was most likely to successfully marry into the family might be the cousin of Xinggeer's family. Firstly, with Xinggeer's relationship, people would not dislike their identity as a fisherman. Secondly, although Qi's family is such a The common surname of Qiushan Village, but their family conditions are not very good, and there are certain difficulties in getting married.Three years later, there are basically people of the right age in the village. Except for this one, he is relatively close. It can be seen that there is really no other candidate.Also because of these reasons, he was naturally very sensitive to what the third brother said.

And the other Sun Dabao was also nervous. His father died long ago, leaving his mother alone with three sons. Fortunately, there were three sons. He and his second brother were already able to row boats. Fishing does not mean that there is no livelihood. It is also because he is the nephew of the village chief, and he is somewhat dependent. The only thing to worry about is that other than his mother, his family is full of boys, and his mother is worried to death for marrying a wife for him.

The eldest sister is his cousin, and he is also greedy, how convenient it is, but can he compete with the cousin of the uncle's family?It was settled from an early age, and it was still the village chief's family, which was much better than his family's. The second sister was not successful, and her age was about the same as his second child. Brother Xing, in this way, when he looked at the village, he was really like Zhang Dezhu, his eyes could only look out, and the nearest Qiushan Village was his goal.

Of course, he is better than Zhang Dezhu in that he has more goals, such as the daughters of other in-laws in the village who have relatives in Qiushan Village. After all, his family's conditions are slightly better.There is still some hope, but even so, he doesn't want to let go of the ready-made candidate that the third brother said.

At first, Jia Huan didn't understand what these people's flirts meant, but after thinking about the situation in the village, he could roughly figure it out. Turning his head to the village chief, Old Man Sun, he asked:

"Village Chief, the little nephew of Sister Lanhuaer's family is probably two years old. I haven't seen him before."

The village chief is in his early forties this year, and he is an old man at this age. The eldest son has given birth to a four-year-old grandson for him, and the eldest daughter who married into the Bao family in Qiushan Village also gave birth to a two-year-old grandson. , except for the third child who will get married next year, the others can be called full of children and grandchildren. Hearing this question, a smile gradually appeared on the dull expression on his face, but he still stared seriously. These boys took a look and said very straightly:

"Don't worry about it, go to the county seat as soon as possible. If the conch can be sold at a high price, and you have money, you can live a good life and have everything. As for Brother Xing and Erzi, I will go to your uncle's house when I come back." It's important to hurry up now."

The village chief has already spoken, so what else is there to say?Naturally, he nodded depressedly, followed the car and drove slowly past the edge of the village, only to vaguely see that someone in the field seemed to have spotted them, and waved to them to say hello.

But also because of the words of the village chief, the men had other thoughts, and began to think about whether the conch could be sold for a price.

For more than two hours, it was almost noon. Finally, the hungry and dusty people finally arrived at the county seat, and they went directly to the west of the county seat. This is why the village chief wanted to see the sale of the conch with his own eyes. The situation is to make a judgment on whether the next step is to expedite the production in the village. Seeing that it is late autumn, each family is a little nervous even if the conditions are better. After a while, it will be inconvenient to go to sea. If you can With such a good way of making money, I don't know how much it will make the village more comfortable this winter.

Seeing the mountain again, Jia Huan naturally knew that he might be going there soon, so he hurriedly found a small stream and asked everyone to clean it up. The reason is very straightforward. Those scholars are very picky. They didn't want to look at their things, and heard that it might affect sales, so naturally they came over obediently one by one and cleaned them up. Although there were still some nagging, people always like to be clean, and they knew this very well.

When they arrived at the tea house at the foot of the mountain not far from the academy, Jia Huan spread out a big mat brought from home, polished the conch shells one by one and placed them on top, and even found a few branches, Let a few brothers build a shelf and hang those wind chimes on it. When the breeze blows like that, there will be a burst of light ringing. It is the sound of small conch hitting a large conch. It is especially crisp and pleasant, extraordinary.

Although I haven't seen the scholar who the third brother and the others said will come out at noon to buy lunch, they have already attracted the attention of the people in the teahouse.

"Hey, this thing is really good. It sounds good. Brother, how do you sell this thing? If there is a big bunch, I'll buy one and put it on the cloth fence. Listen to it."

The owner of the teahouse, a middle-aged man in black and thin but dressed in a whole suit, chatted with the village head when he came out. He looked familiar, and also, if he was not familiar with this business, he would strike up a conversation, I'm afraid. The business will not be good, even if it occupies such a good location, it is only possible to open this business here, I am afraid that it has something to do with this academy, and it is impossible for ordinary people to have such a good place.

Just as the village chief was about to speak, Jia Huan immediately approached him, interjected and said:

"Uncle, you like it too? Then what else should I buy? I have the biggest one here, so I will give it to you to hang up. I just ask you to help me say a few more good words. Our business can be related to the rations of the old and the small in the village. Woolen cloth."

As soon as Jia Huan made a sound, the village chief was taken aback for a moment, and then gave Jia Huan a heavy look. Although he was not very talkative, he was not a person who didn't know how powerful he was. He immediately understood what Jia Huan meant, and then revealed With a simple and honest smile, he nodded and said:

"That's the reason, I borrowed your place, and sent a string of wind chimes, thank you for your convenience."

Even though the owner of the teahouse who said this said wanted to come over to rub a few words, he lost his temper. He took the string of wind chimes that Jia Huan cleverly sent over with a smile, and said with a smile:

"You're being polite, aren't you? Everyone's eating for dinner. Let's set it aside. A scholar will come over in a while."

After speaking, he happily returned to his tea room, greeted the helper and started hanging the wind chimes.The movement here, those young and strong people can all see it in their eyes. Even though they are still busy with hanging things at the moment, Jia Huan's different performance still surprised them a little. Brother even poked Brother Xing directly with his elbow and asked:

"Your second brother seems to have changed recently. Why did he become so talkative all of a sudden? Who taught him? Your family doesn't have this ability, and your father doesn't like to talk."

Although Brother Xing himself felt that Jia Huan was very different, which made him puzzled, but his younger brother was capable, and he was always happy and willing to protect his family's face, so he immediately retorted:

"What do you mean my family doesn't have this ability? The second son is quite clever and smart, and he can count."

Well, now the others have nothing to say. Indeed, among the children in the village, Jia Huan is the only one who knows how to count. Although this talent seems to have been discovered only recently, it is already very smart. What else can they say?
