Jia Huan's rebirth and revenge

Back and forth, this kind of bustle lasted for more than two months. It was not until the apricot flowers faded, the pomegranate flowers bloomed, and the days entered mid-April that the whole fishing village returned to the peace of the past. At this time, Qi Shi was finally able to finish the busy work of going to help various houses a while ago, and was able to take a good look at her own home, to see the appearance of this home that she had never dreamed of in her life.

In today’s Jia’s house, the neat courtyard is really reassuring to look at. There are a total of thirteen rooms. Although the inverted seat next to the gate is made of seaweed, the walls are made of stones and mud. Let this house also look neat, clean and strong, even the houses of other ordinary people are nothing more than this. The big water tank on the open space in the innermost room next to the east wing room on the east side does not look like it at all. It can be used by ordinary people, even if it is shipped, it will take a lot of effort, not to mention the price, it must be very impressive, but in this house, it has become Jia Huan's leak, bought from a rich family. Needless to say, this is the result of Jia Huan's lottery again.With such a large water tank, as long as one tank is filled with water, it can take the whole family two days, but it saves a lot of work. The most important thing is that the mason also helped to do it. A stagnant water strip for diverting water from the eaves, as long as it rains, the rainwater from the sky can be guided into this water tank, which greatly reduces the burden of carrying water for Jia's men.

A small shed was built on the open space connected to the West Wing on the west side, which can cover the stone mill polished by the bluestone below. This is also a good thing that Jia Huan got by lottery. It was so practical that Jia Huan almost thought that these few lottery draws were the result of the care of the big wheel.

The yard is clean and tidy. Instead of planting any big trees like some people do, they have planted grape vines, which are square and square. It’s just that the grapes have just been planted, so there is no need to think about any fruit to eat this year. Yes, and there is a reason why there is no tree planted in the middle of the yard. It is the result of Jia’s Xiaosan showing off, because he said that the courtyard is a word, if a big tree is added in the middle, it becomes a word. Sleepy word, doesn't that mean that the family will be in trouble in the future?Although what he said was a bit far-fetched, but Qi Shi, who was a little uneasy about the windfall coming too fast, heard it in his ears, and his heart would inevitably feel a little pissed, so it ended up like this.

Also because of this, the plan to plant some trees in the open space between the side rooms on both sides of the main house and the side rooms also turned yellow, and it directly turned into two bamboos. This is the result of Jia Huan's fooling around. It would be too ugly if there were no trees to decorate the yard. Anyway, the bamboo can still grow bamboo shoots, so it can be regarded as some output, right?

The door from the front yard to the back yard was opened at the easternmost side of the main room, near the Qi family’s house. In the main room like this, there were not big paintings in the middle, or some ancestor god statues, but this is a fishing village. It is an ordinary people's house again, where there is such a particularity, it is just a table that can place things, and put things in the New Year and festival sacrifices. Now put oil lamps and other things, it is a big Eight Immortals table, which is the place for meals and hospitality at home where it is.This has already made many people jealous. Many people live in a compact house. This kind of main room is often divided into two rooms, the front and the back, and a child lives in the back. How can there be such a spacious main room.

As for the backyard, there is a long barn on the west side, which spans two and a half rooms and runs horizontally. Two piglets and a mule are already standing in a row. The five little chicks and the old hen that Qi had just brought in, and in the remaining space, there is a three-point vegetable field to the west, where some seasonal vegetables are planted. Although the output is still not much, but in Qi From Shi's point of view, at least he can be self-sufficient to a certain extent, so that the family's expenses can be saved.

The walls of the yard are very high, because many of the walls are borrowed from the walls of the house, so for the sake of unity, the walls basically have a height of one and a half people. This is rare in this village, but there are good reasons for it. It is not wrong to use so much material for the wall, and it is not wrong to use the rest of the place. It is always wasteful. Only Jia Huan knows that this is caused by his mother's uneasiness. Always a little restless at night, for fear that a thief will steal the money from the house.

Fortunately, this kind of thing has been eased after my family spent money to buy a six-acre middle field in Qiushan Village. The family does not have so much cash, which obviously makes this man feel a little insecure after losing his husband. The widow was relieved a lot.

Except for the Jia family, other families have also changed a lot these days.The village head’s family obviously didn’t want to have the title of the first house in the village taken away by others, so they spent some money, even their savings, to re-expand the house by one or two. The layout of Jia's house is similar, except that the wing room is a bit sloppy, but now four rooms are directly built upside down, and two rooms are allocated to the two sons, one on the left and two on the right.The wing room was made into a kitchen and a firewood room, with a large room on the left and right, and five covered rooms were built directly in the backyard. It is said that it is a wedding room for the grandson? . . .Although the place is not big, the house has suddenly become a three-entry pattern.Another piece of land was drawn on the east side of the house, surrounded by a wall to build a livestock shed, which is called a cross-yard. If the rich family heard this name, it would only be ridiculed, but here it is enough to make people envious.That is the yard of sixteen houses, who wouldn't envy and jealousy.

There is also Qian Dahai, the number of houses has not increased much, and the modification is simple, but the three rooms of the main house have been refurbished and turned into tile-roofed houses, and the room on the west side of the main house has been turned into a study, obviously for the future. Let the grandson use it for reading like the children of the Jia family, even if there are no books in it, it doesn't prevent him from thinking this way, right, anyway, the female family members can be used as an embroidery room.The rooms on both sides have also been tidied up. The two rooms in the east room were given to his son, and in the two rooms in the west, one is a kitchen and the other is his own studio. Now this bone carving can also make money. I am willing to give up this craft, and the backyard has not been changed much. I just tidied up a barn and asked my family to raise some chickens and ducks.His biggest expense was on the boat. He sold the original boat to the Jia family at a discount of 12 taels, and he himself spent a full [-] taels to have the best boat builder build a new big boat, the largest in the entire fishing village. According to the results of his own tests, the speed of the fishing boat is [-]% faster than the original boat, and the strength of pulling the fish is also nearly [-]% stronger. In this way, it is already foreseeable that in the future he may be the entire fishing village. The fisherman with the most catches.

Every household in the fishing village has lived a fairly satisfactory life on the income of the past half year. Almost every household has refurbished the house and bought more utensils at home. Everyone has a smile on their face. After half a year In the days of full food, everyone's complexion looks better. The most important thing is that because of such a big move in the fishing village, the families in the village who could not be called daughter-in-laws and those who could not get married finally began to welcome matchmakers. It's the most elated and elated thing in this whole fishing village.

Didn’t you see that the lonely old lady of Wang’s family and Wang Xiaomiao, who are the worst in the village, have a better life, because the village has money to renovate the Dragon King Temple, and the house where the lonely old lady lives is brightened up, as a temple blessing The temple is full, and Wang Xiaomiao, it is said, is busy picking up conch shells and stringing wind chimes because of doing helpers everywhere, and has also saved a dowry of two taels of silver.

Under such circumstances, the marriage between Xing Geer and Wang Xiaomiao was also put on the agenda.You said that their Jia family has not passed the three-year filial piety?Come on, people in the country don't pay so much attention. They say it's three years, but in fact it's almost two years. Even if you're a wealthy family, it's only 27 months, let alone the countryside. Seeing the so-called filial piety, with meat to eat, doesn't the Jia family eat the same?In a poor rural family, keeping filial piety is not as important as staying alive.Besides, it still takes a certain amount of time from the time of discussing the wedding date to the holding of the wedding ceremony. In this way, when the marriage is imminent, the time will be about the same, right?

Jia Huan looked at the new house and Xing Geer who was excited about the upcoming wedding, and his mood improved inexplicably.It's just that things in the world are always stumbling, and this side just feels that life is prosperous, which is fascinating, and troubles follow.

"That's the way it is, Brother Xing's mother, you also know that although Bantou Liu is not a high-ranking official in the county, he is not a wealthy family, but he has power after all, and there are contacts in the county government. If you reply It's not good, if it trips us up, then the tax authorities in our village will suffer a lot from now on."

The person who spoke was Sun Shi, the daughter-in-law of the village chief. She doesn't like to talk too much, and has always been a kind person, because her daughter-in-law is also from the Qi family in Qiushan Village, and she was very close to the Qi family in the past, but now she is full of embarrassment. With a sad look on his face, it was obvious that what he said was definitely not a good thing.

It's really not a good thing, the reason is that Jia Huan and his brothers got antiques in Haili and sold them for a lot of silver. Somehow, the county government is the most well-informed head of the fast-track yamen, and Liu Bantou heard about it.And thinking of asking his son to marry Yu Niang, he specially invited someone to ask the head of the fishing village about the situation of Jia's family. It wasn't that the head of the village immediately sent his wife to tell him about the situation.

In other words, Yu Niang is now 13 years old. It is not a big deal if someone comes to kiss her. A few days ago, the other villages next door were not valued. They invited a matchmaker to inquire about it. At any rate, the matchmaker's visit showed whether the daughter of the Jia family was popular or not, and the Qi family still felt quite handsome, but the key issue was stuck in the family background of the Liu family.

The Liu family is a family of yamen servants. For several generations, they have worked as station shifts in the yamen, or as yamen servants in the fast class, or as fast catchers. The children are not allowed to take scientific examinations, so they can only do these lowest-level errands in this yamen for generations, but also because of this, even if their family is not very important, their rights and connections should not be underestimated. Naturally, you don't need to pay attention to your contacts, but among ordinary people, they are quite a deterrent

This kind of people can't go up and down, their status is embarrassing, maybe they don't have no money, and a layer of oil and water is enough for them to live and save a family business. Even if there is a natural disaster*, no one can survive. Don't worry about starving to death, it can be said that life is better than ordinary people.

But everything else is easy to say, but it is quite a disadvantage when it comes to marrying a daughter-in-law, because the daughters of good people are never willing to marry into such a family, and they look down on the poor, so here Regarding the matter, Bantou Liu was also troubled, and now suddenly came the Jia family, a family with no foundation, no connections, and a relatively well-off family. , Naturally, I immediately saw it in my eyes, remembered it in my heart, and decided to get married.

Being targeted by someone like this is really hard to say, it's a bit difficult to push, and I can't blame the village chief's family for feeling a little embarrassed and helpless, and even a little bit of panic, for fear that something bad will happen to them People think about it, which makes the whole village suffer.You must know that today’s fishing village is not what it used to be. In the old days, the poor were like pants, and the yamen turned a blind eye to them for not paying taxes. I don't want to make too much trouble, but what if I have a bad relationship with Bantou Liu, and then Bantou Liu reports to his superiors, exaggerating the situation a little?Then what kind of situation will they face?Is it to pay an unknown amount of taxes, or to do hard work in the future, to press down heavily and toss people?It's really hard to say!The village chief didn't dare to call the shots, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense, which would harm the villagers in the village and hurt the feelings of relatives and neighbors, so he specially asked his daughter-in-law to ask, which was the meaning of the Jia family.

When the Jia Huan brothers returned from overseas, they encountered such a situation when they entered the house.Hearing such a thing, the whole family was a little dumbfounded. What is it called?Could it be a bolt from the blue?Or is it a disaster?When encountering such a thing, where do they have any experience in dealing with it?
