Another year of spring, another morning, in Hailuo Village, Jia Xun’s house was covered with red silk, and happy words were plastered all over the village. Today is the day when Yuniang gets married. Under the colorful shed that I helped to build, there are a total of twenty tables. Just by looking at the number of tables, we can see that the population of the village has increased. It has only been a few years, and most of the boys in the village have already married Yes, and those dolls are also starting to grow up, which makes the whole village look more prosperous.

The village head is still old-fashioned, even more energetic, smiling and drinking tea surrounded by old people in the village, looking at the laughing children nearby, turning his head and talking to an old woman Talked.

"Madam, how are you looking at our Conch Village?"

"Okay, why not? If you want me to say it, it's the best. I'm really lucky to live here. Not to mention my illness, now my family has imported people, and it's getting more and more lively."

That old woman, speaking of this, had a smile all over her face, who do you think this person is?This is the Mengxue teacher invited by the village, Master Wei's sick mother, because Hailuo Village gave a high salary and an independent house for the mother to recuperate, so Master Wei survived under the protection of Dianli Liu. When you come here to teach, don't you say that maybe people really have Fengshui, water and soil. After this family came, the sick mother was the first one. She was able to get out of bed in less than two months. Wait for four months Later, the daughter-in-law of Mrs. Wei, who had been married for three years and had no news, was pregnant. The old lady was really overjoyed, and said that this village was a blessed place for their family.

The first school and the first teacher in Hailuo Village in a hundred years, they are very respectful to Mrs. Wei and his family. The Master’s family, why are you looking for delicious food that doesn’t cost money on the beach, and tell them that seaweed, conch, etc., are valuable, can be sold when picked up, can be made into pickles, etc., so that they can live in the city for the rest of their lives It was the first time for the family to know the benefits of living in such a remote place. Even Jia Xun suspected that the family was not in good health in the past. After eating fish, seaweed, meaty vegetables, and endless sea salt, the family's complexion quickly recovered. It's hard to think otherwise.

Indeed, Master Wei's family is a real scholar's family. Three generations of the family have taken the imperial examination route, but they have no luck. They are always wandering among the scholars, and because they spend too much time studying, As a result, the family business also fell into decline. In the grandfather's generation, there was still a shop that could collect rent. In the father's generation, there was only such a yard left. By renting out the front yard for some money, when it came to him, the old lady's An illness directly wiped out the entire family business. For such a family, even a fool knows that life must be extremely difficult. The small amount of money is still needed for Mr. Wei to study. How much money can the family have for food? pin available?But it's just that I can't eat well, and I can't wear well.

Now it's better, although they have left the place where they lived for several lifetimes and came to this village, but they unexpectedly found that life can be lived in a different way. Although this house is not comparable to the brick and tile houses in the county town, it is spacious. Very much, it is bigger than the ancestral house in the past, and I can also grow vegetables and raise chickens by myself, and add something to it. Endless seaweed, sea crab, sea fish, etc., the price is low, and the food is fresh, so that they don't have to worry about being unable to afford it. There is also free sea salt, which further reduces expenses. In the school, they don't use paper and pens that they spend on their own. All of these things have completely breathed out for this family, and they don't need to be as desperate as if they will run out of food for the next meal.

There was even a little surplus. During the Chinese New Year, the village prevented the whole village from going out to sea, and Mrs. Wei also went to help out. He helped pack some things in this way, and got three taels of silver, plus Shu Xiu for the first half of the year. It was the first time that this family lived a decent year, which made the old lady, who had just recovered from a serious illness, almost cry again.She really likes this place. She feeds the chickens and waters the vegetable fields every day. Like other old people in the village, she picks up some small crabs and conch by the sea, and cooks and eats at home. This day is even more enjoyable. It's getting more and more delicious.

So when she heard the village chief's question like this, she couldn't help laughing and started to burst out. Looking at this happy and prosperous village, she didn't know what to say.The village head looked at her like this, and he was also happy in his heart. He just felt that what the village head did was really good and could not be better. He definitely surpassed the ancestors of several generations above him. More and more down-to-earth.

"Since the old lady thinks it's good, then I'm relieved, but I don't know if Mrs. Wei has any plans to register in our village? Of course, our village is worse than the county seat, and people like Mrs. Wei may not see it." Yes, but we have been together for such a long time anyway, and we get along well with each other, so I have the audacity to ask, don't worry, our village wants to do things in an authentic way. I guarantee that the title deed will be changed to Mrs. Wei’s name immediately, and it will be your first property here.”

When he said that, the old lady was taken aback. What?And this benefit?As long as the family is registered, the two-entry house actually belongs to their family?How do you say that?Could it be that there is no benefit for my son to register in this village?Shouldn't it?They are just ordinary scholars, but their son is not even a scholar. How could he make such a big deal?

The old lady doesn't know, the village head is calculating in the long run, he has been watching it coldly for nearly a year, and he has completely seen Mrs. Wei clearly, knowing that this is definitely a good, honest person, People are filial, and there is no such thing as lofty and contemptuous people. Thinking about when the whole village is busy, this kid will come out spontaneously and help out, and you will know what kind of kind person he is. If such a person is accommodated, the village will definitely not accept it. There will be no disagreement.

No matter how knowledgeable he is, he has heard from the people in the village that he is better than the old master in the next village. Such a person can get a scholar back if he takes the exam next time. If so, this person can still stay. In their village?Then what will happen to the elementary schools in the village?Don't you have to be busy asking for your wife again?It's better to be acquainted than to be born. It's better to nail people directly in your own village like this. What is a house? This is not the capital city. How much money can this house have?If it can win people's hearts, so that the children in the village will not drop out of school in the future, this is the most important thing.

Of course, there is another little thought of the village chief, that is, because he has been walking around a lot outside now, and Liu Dianli's suggestion, he now knows very well that if there is a famous person in this village The advantage of this, not to mention anything else, is that there are lawsuits in the village, and when Liu Dianli is not easy to get ahead, with such a scholar, it is easy to chat with people in the officialdom and find some cheap money. Come.Who made them all scholars, right?

With so many benefits, taking advantage of the Jia family's rejoicing and everyone being happy, the village head raised the matter without losing the opportunity, and he was cunning not to mention it directly to Mrs. Wei, because it would directly face the person involved. , if people refuse all of a sudden, it is really easing and a little difficult, why not tell the old lady that with such a middleman, even if it may not be able to influence Mrs. to a different effect.

The fact is just like what he thought, the old lady is very tempted, but she is not good at making decisions for herself, so after thinking about it, she said:

"I can't make the decision on this matter. Why do you have to ask my son what he means? How dare you get the benefits of the village for nothing. My family has troubled everyone since we came to this village. If it weren't for the big guy Son, this day will not be so smooth."

"This is what it should be. The old lady discussed it with the master after returning home. Today we are here for a wedding, and we only talk about happy things."

Speaking of this, the village chief gave his wife a wink, and the village chief's wife, who had known his man's thoughts for a long time, immediately came over and started talking to the others about the Jia family's dowry delivery yesterday.

"His aunt, you paid a lot of money to add makeup yesterday, and you actually gave it a silver ring. Why haven't I seen it before? Could it be a new one?"

"What's so special about my ring? Didn't you see that Yu Niang gave it to her aunt? It's a silver bracelet."

"Speaking of which, the style of our village is really different now. How do you look at the dowry of this fish girl? It's the first dowry in a hundred years. It's a total of sixteen. Miss, it seems that there are only twelve sets for getting married."

"No, I was dumbfounded when I took out the eight pieces of silver. It's rare to see such thick silver jewelry. With the addition of makeup from each family, I can see that there are twelve or three pieces."

"It's not just silver jewellery. I heard from my kid yesterday that these guys from the Jia family also pooled up some silver to make money for Yuniang. The whole family seems to have two or two taels together." .”

"Yu Niang is really blessed. When she got married, the Jia family was up, and her husband's family was also prosperous. If it had been a few years ago, how could it be so respectable."

"Speaking of which, the Fengshui in our village has really flourished in the past few years..."

You can’t expect them to get the point when they talk. The village chief originally wanted to show off the wealth of the village in front of the old lady of the Wei family. How did you go on and on about superstition?Is it possible to go to the Dragon King Temple to worship?
