I rewrote family history

Chapter 124
Back in the courtyard, Er Chaozi and Xiao Baozi had a meal of noodles made by Aunt Da Ya.The north pays attention to making dumplings and noodles when you go out.Although the father and daughter have not set foot on this land for many years, and the former house was only a rented house, they still live with affection.

After eating the noodles, Er Chaozi wiped his mouth with a white cloth, and he put the thick porcelain bowl with half a bowl of broth left on the ground, "Thank you for your hospitality. You helped me a lot. I plan to buy a house, and my daughter and I can't live in such a big place. In addition, I also want to go to Hui Province to join the war with Chief Shi. Little Baozi can't be left alone..."

The tenants in the yard, except for Xinzi's parents, who were latecomers, felt their hearts tighten when they heard this sentence, and they kept pounding.Including Xu's father and son.Even if they made a fortune, they wouldn't mind too much if they could take advantage of Er Chaozi.

No one would think too much of money.

In addition, Er Chaozi owed their father and son a kindness.In terms of affection and propriety, they should also be compensated and rewarded.

"In the Zhao family, I often take care of Xiao Baozi." Aunt Da Ya took the credit first.Her man Laifu gave her a tug, but she gave him an unhappy wink and silenced him.There was a smile on her face, and she was completely different from before, "If you don't mind, I have experience in serving people, washing and cooking, I can do everything, I can be a housekeeper..."

"My man is the same. You don't know him yet. He can manage a courtyard well, chop firewood, burn fire, mend bowls and repair walls. Everything is at hand."

Water flows to lower place, man goes to higher position.She was just a low-level maid who washed toilets and poured night incense in Zhao's house.If you can enter the new house and be a housekeeper, you will be rich.Furthermore, once Er Chaozi left, Xiaobaozi was the only one left. She was not in charge of everything in the new house, and the master let her flatten and round it. Think about it, it was a happy day.

"Okay, count yourself in."

Er Chaozi took a sip of the dry tobacco, knocked the pipe pot on the soles of his feet, and said to himself: "It's still comfortable to smoke our Xinye tobacco leaves, and I'm not used to smoking other local cigarettes."

After knocking the tobacco pot, install new tobacco leaves.He took out a box of matches from his pocket, and with a stroke of his hand, the match brushed against the thick phosphorus-coated paper on the side of the box, and a small flame burst out with a "pop".

Next, he squinted his eyes, and pinched the slender cigarette pot with his left hand so that it was level with his mouth.And the right hand holding the match is going to light the new cigarette in the smoke pot.After taking two strong sips, all the tobacco leaves in the pot were lit, with bright red sparks.

He extinguished the match with his hands, two puffs of thick smoke came out of his nostrils, and said, "Third brother, won't you come?"

The cigarette pipe and pot in his hand was borrowed from Xu San'er.As for his original one, he threw it away long ago.In the new army, opium cigarettes were not allowed, but local cigarettes were allowed, but smoking local cigarettes would also affect military discipline.What's more, he is a guard, and he should pay more attention to military appearance, so he has quit smoking for a long time.

Even though Xu San'er secretly scolded the son of a bitch for what evil he was thinking behind his back, he still pretended to be honest.He shaved off the meat of the scorpion noodles, stuffed it all over his mouth, and threw a peeled raw garlic whole.

He chewed a few times, followed the noodle soup, and swallowed the noodle.When Er Chaozi showed an impatient look on his face, he patted his stomach to show its roundness, and then said: "I'll forget it. Although the family's situation is not good, I still have some spare time." Yu, eating on other people's stoves is disgusting, I just couldn't bear this anger, so I ran from the countryside to the county to beg for food. My baby is the same."

Speaking of her own baby, Xu San'er felt a lot of pride in her heart.He was sitting on a small wooden bench against the wall, but his eyes showed a look of leering at everyone.Although he usually works with Laifu as a partner, his status in the courtyard is still one of the best.He is the father of "Master Xu".It is obviously arrogant and impossible for a foreign visitor to challenge his status and order him to do a job as a servant.

"Third brother, brother won't tell you anything false."

"When I buy a house, I split the contract and it counts as two shares. You have one, and I have one. You will not be allowed to pay. Third brother, don't you feel aggrieved living here with your baby? Xu Cong has studied. , I have already entered middle school, how can a person who will be very promising in the future keep wandering around in the pheasant ditch..."

Er Chaozi made a proposal that Xu San'er could hardly refuse.

A set of houses, no matter how small the house is, cannot be bought for 40 or [-] yuan.Half a house is also worth a lot.Almost as a gift, to their father and son, and invite them to be the masters of the new house.

When Auntie Big Tooth heard this, her jealous harelips closed and pressed together tightly.She wished she could become Xu San'er, and immediately stepped forward to agree to this good deed.Why didn't she accept the dozens of hard coins picked up in vain?

But after thinking about it for a while, she understood.The father and son of the Xu family had the grace of saving the life of Er Chaozi's daughter, and previously paid for her medical treatment out of righteousness.No matter who thought about this money at the time, they thought it was a waste of money.It is common sense to have this return after drinking and pecking.If she had lent money to Er Chaozi at that time, maybe Er Chaozi would have repaid her at this time.

She calmed down instead.She desperately hoped that two words of "unwilling" would come out of Xu San'er's mouth.If she moved into a new house, relying on her status as an old man, she would not be bad at all.But if Xu's father and son squeezed in, some of her dirty ideas would be useless immediately.

Yes, or not, Xu San'er hesitated.If he doesn't know the true face of Er Chaozi, it's no big deal if he agrees to repay the favor.Others are also blameless.

However, under the skin of Erchaoziren, there is a heart like a tiger and a wolf.If he agreed, he would be seeking skin from a tiger.Although he was tempted by the cheap things he picked up for nothing, but what if...

There was no time for Xu San'er to think. He saw Er Chaozi's sinister gaze and the gun on his waist.He knew that the purpose of this bastard was to ask for a face, so he would give this face.He nodded and said: "Since the boss is willing to give me and my baby some face, I have no reason not to agree. It is you who praised us."

The tense atmosphere in the yard quickly disappeared with these words.The three middle-aged men sat down under the eaves after eating noodles as usual, and began to chat.It seems that at this moment, time has not changed.

At one o'clock, Er Chaozi took his daughter to an inn in the county town to rent a Tianzihao room, and left the courtyard.After the boss left, the tenants began to congratulate each other.Even Xinzi's family was sent by Xin Zhaizi.Xinzi's mother moved into the house to be Xiaobaozi's personal maid.Auntie Big Tooth is too fat to serve others.

By dawn, the lights had been turned off last night, but the tenants hadn't slept well all night. They were afraid that Er Chaozi's words were just bragging after dinner, not the truth.But at Xiangwu, Er Chaozi confirmed his words.He bought the old house of the Fan family.

After the white wolf made troubles in Xinye, all nine members of the Fan family were shot and died, leaving only a dilapidated house.The house was claimed by the offshoot relatives of the Fan family. They took out their belongings and reluctantly renovated the house, but few big families were willing to pay for it.Everyone despises it as unlucky.

"I don't know how many people died in the Forbidden City, but Emperor Xuantong still lives there. If there are ghosts in this house, I will shoot them down again."

A few days later, the relatives of Fan's family who sold the house reported what Er Chaozi, the boss, said when he bought the house.

Er Chaozi also fulfilled his promise.He ordered the masons to build a wall in the courtyard of Fan Zhai, and dug a moon gate in the center of the wall.This wall divides a big house into two small ones. The house on the left belongs to Er Chaozi, and the house on the right belongs to Xu's father and son.They really became close neighbors and became a family.

Head Shi led the army to station in Xixia County and gave Er Chaozi 20 days of family leave.Only six days passed between his return and the completion of the new house.

On the seventh day, he brought back a mother for Xiao Baozi.

The woman he bought.

"Sister Lanhua?"

Xiao Baozi was startled when he saw the bride.

"No, Xiao Baozi, you should call her mother." Er Chaozi held Lan Hua's hand and said with a smile, "If father marries another woman, I'm afraid the stepmother will treat you badly. Didn't Master Zhao say that Well, your sister Lanhua has reached the age to marry, so you don’t marry whoever you marry, Lanhua knows you well and has always taken care of you, so dad married her into the family, so you don’t have to be afraid of your stepmother bullying you in the future.”

He has developed, so he can't always be a widower.Xu San Fugui didn't continue the string because of Xu Cong's kind.But he only had a girl named Xiao Baozi, and she was doing the business of pinning her head on her belt, so she had to save it, otherwise, if she died, he would have no face to meet his ancestors.

"mother……"

Xiao Baozi shouted timidly.

"Ugh."

Lan Hua responded, her eyes were red, and she picked up Xiao Baozi by the waist.

When someone gets married, Xu Cong of the family has to go to congratulate him.The red thing I bought for Chen Xian'an before came in handy this time.The father and son made up some other gifts and sent them over.

Shredded red paper from firecrackers covered Zuo Zhai.

Because it was a sequel, and it was from a poor family, the wedding ceremony was very simple.There are no three books and six rituals, and no eight sedan chairs.At night, a rickshaw with red curtains picked up the bride from Zhao's house, and then pulled her to the auditorium, where she was married and sent to the bridal chamber.

After moving into the new house, Xu Cong has his own new bedroom, so he doesn't have to sleep with his father anymore.That night, he heard the joy of the newlyweds, which lasted for about an hour.

He has tasted meat and knows the benefits of women.He began to wonder what the skinned Erchaozi and Lanhua looked like.It's just that when he was thinking, he slapped himself and interrupted himself.

Mr. Hu fell asleep on the head of the bed. He checked, but he didn't wake up.

He is no longer that cowardly and inferior Xu Er fool.

No sleep for one night.

At dawn the next day, when the family was eating breakfast, Xu Cong saw that Bride Lanhua's legs were trembling constantly.He withdrew his gaze and concentrated on his breakfast.The breakfast was made by Xin Ziniang. Her house specializes in selling breakfast. The leek rolls served with a small dish of pickles and a bowl of white porridge are extremely appetizing.

"Nephew Xu Xian, your husband is the chief of the education department in the county. I don't know how to go about the regulations for letting the baby enter the girls' school... Please help me with this."

Er Chaozi's dress is somewhat similar to Master Zhao's.It should be said that it is almost the same as the gentry.She was wearing a black satin shirt with a piece of jade hanging from her waist, and soft cloth shoes on the soles of her feet.Brand new.

After he finished his breakfast, he mentioned what he had said to Xu Cong a few days ago.

He wants to send his daughter to a girls' school.

If you ask about the familiarity with the school.In the whole family, only Xu Cong is a cultural person.The gentleman he worshiped was also the county official in charge of this aspect.

"It's not difficult. You can enter girls' schools after paying the money. Some missionary schools in other places accept girls and don't charge a cent. In our county, there is only Hongyun Girls' School. A few years ago, the government issued an official document , Incorporate women's education into the national education system, as long as they are legal citizens, there is no reason why women's schools will not accept them..."

After finishing the call, Xu Cong took a sip of porridge.He knew that Er Chaozi didn't want to hear this.You can understand these things after a little inquiring.

After finishing his porridge, he nodded, "When I go to school, I will ask my husband to write a letter of introduction, and then I will send Xiao Baozi to school."

"That's good." Hearing what he wanted to hear, Er Chaozi leaned back comfortably on the teacher's chair and slumped on it, "I've also heard about church schools. These foreign devils have no good intentions. Go to their school. What kind of Jesus has to be recited, talking about God all day long..."

Lan Hua listened to the words of the two principals. She opened and closed her mouth, trying to make a sound, but she still suppressed her mouthpiece, leaving only an indistinct "gurgling" sound of chewing food.

"Father, Sister Lanhua... Mom also wants to go to school."

Xiaobaozi and Lanhua have been together for a long time.She matured precociously, remembering what Lan Hua once said when she opened her heart.So after seeing Lan Hua's expression, she knew what Lan Hua wanted to say, so she pleaded.

"good!"

"Be obedient, your mother doesn't want to go to school, she coaxed you."

Er Chaozi turned his head and glanced at his wife, seeing her shaking his head, he smiled and said.

Who doesn't want to be an upright person.Qiu He also told Xu Cong that he wanted to go to school.Orchids should be the same as autumn grass.But Xu Cong knew that it was impossible for Er Chaozi to let Lanhua go to school.Er Chaozi married a daughter-in-law to carry on the family line, not to train a female student.The money to support a person to go to school is far more than the money to buy a woman.

"Little Baozi, be good, your mother still has to take care of you, she won't go to school..."

"If your mother went to school like you, wouldn't her generation be messed up?"

As a family, Xu Cong comforted.

Since it is impossible, don't easily touch the anger of the "villain" Er Chaozi.

"Yes, little treasure."

"Mother...don't want to go to school, and mother still has to stay at home to take care of you."

Lan Hua bent the corners of her mouth, showing an impartial smile with only eight teeth.Her smile after being disciplined by Zhao's family is extremely beautiful, far more beautiful than a country woman's smile.
