My live broadcast room communicates ancient and modern

In front of Lao Wei's house at the west end of the village.

Wei Fengshou walked hunched over in front.

He had never had such a quarrel with his parents, brother and sister-in-law, and he thought that he never cared about his parents' favoritism, thinking that he would get used to it as he grew older.

But when they got into an argument, I realized that I had kept all the trivial matters of seven years of grain and eight years of chaff in my heart.

And after today, he will leave the home where he has lived for decades.

His mother covered her heart and cried loudly, scolding him for being unfilial; his elderly father hit him on the back with a stick; his brother and sister-in-law pressed him with the word "filial piety" and asked him to kneel down and quickly admit his mistakes to his parents, so that the family could be like before. Living together like that.

Otherwise, he will make his parents very angry. If something goes wrong, the whole family will only resent him and will not give him anything if the family is divided. But nothing was given to him, no food was stored for him to eat or where to live.

Wei Fengshou was even more confused when he thought about this, and his heart was empty.

Hongzao followed behind, and when she saw her father carrying her luggage and really leaving that home, she cried for a while, and then couldn't help wiping her tears with her sleeves and laughing.

She is not afraid of hardship at all.

Rather than suffering hardships, Hong Zao couldn't bear to see her father take the wages earned by him back to her grandma's house. In the end, her grandpa didn't spend a penny on her father.

Her father had been working for more than half a year and didn't even have a cotton-padded coat with real cotton. Her grandma asked her to work more and earn more, and the money she had now should be left for her cousin to get married and buy it later. In the future, there will be a second cousin, a third cousin, and land to buy. What makes her most heartbroken is that she will never have her father's cotton clothes.

"Dad, it's okay, Arita Xin'er, and Grandma Xu..."

Before Hong Zao could finish her words, she was unexpectedly scolded by Wei Fengshou: "You kid, you are ignorant!"

Wei Fengshou had never used such a harsh tone to reprimand his daughter. He pointed his finger at his daughter's face and said:

"Grandma Xu and Tian Xin'er don't owe us anything, so we can't rely on them for everything.

I noticed that you kid, why do you take others' help for granted now?
Don't look at Tian Xin'er talking to you about borrowing money.

That's because that girl's heart is no worse than that of a boy. She doesn't want to see you girls rushing to get engaged for the rest of their lives. Rather than marrying the wrong person, she doesn't worry about whether she will offend someone by lending you money. After all, as a girl, she has a kind heart.

But how can you little girls be ignorant? Normally, your grandma Xu only cares about how the village makes money. She is the best talker in the village. Do you think she cares about whose family is divided and quarreled? If your grandma is like this, do you think that the granddaughter she taught does not understand the twists and turns here? He was a literate man who dared to talk to important people. "

Hong Zao paused and said, "Dad, I...well, I've been a little spoiled by Tian Xin'er recently." If he wanted to talk back, he swallowed it back.

Wei Fengshou sighed, calmed down his temper and said to his daughter: "When you go to work tomorrow and you see who is worried, just talk to him like a nagging person. Don't think that someone should help you as much as possible."

But is now the time to talk about this topic? I didn’t have dinner tonight, and it’s still a question of where to stay.

At this moment, Mrs. Xu shouted from a distance: "Is it a good harvest?"

Wei Fengshou was still grumbling along the way: "Auntie, no, I will go to your house right after I finish my quarrel. This will make it difficult for you. We have room..."

He was pushed into the front door of his house by Mrs. Xu.

She was afraid that the matter would be over. How could she compare to her granddaughter's chivalry?
The old couple of the Wei family are too disgraceful, treating their son like a stupid long-term employee.

In fact, as Fengshou said, she just didn't want to take care of the poor household affairs in the village. Because you really can't mess with other people's family affairs. If you don't do it well, you'll be in trouble. Some people are even mean, and sometimes one is willing to be beaten while the other is willing to suffer. This is the human nature of kinship.

It's hard for other upright officials to take care of household chores, let alone us.

So if we really can’t stand it, we can’t be greedy for peace.

Otherwise, there are really a lot of them in Erdaohe that need to be dealt with.

But Mrs. Xu plans to take care of the affairs of the Fengshou family.

This is what she deserved last time she cut wood with some of her family members: "Take it, don't tear it up for me. I've known for a long time that you might leave the house cleanly. After working for many years, you end up like this." The result. Take advantage of the warm weather to set up a small house and buy some snacks."

As for where to stay and where to eat temporarily, Hong Zao followed Lin Yue with a small bag on her shoulder and Nan Nan in her arms. Lin Yue advised her:

"Stop crying. If you cry, Tian Xin'er will spend all her time trying to persuade you. How can she have time? I wonder if it's the female official who seems to have sent her a lot of books for her to read. Let's go I will spend the next night as a watcher for Tian Xin'er. I will look at the workshop and see if there is more work to do, it will be better than anything else."

"Yeah. From now on, I'll do it at night, for free." Hong Zao then broke down in tears and turned into a smile.

As for Wei Fengshou, he was originally sent to live in a shop by Mrs. Xu, but he walked. Suddenly, I clutched the money in my palm and wanted to squat by the river and be quiet.

When Wei Feng's eyes were red, Guan Ertu patted him on the shoulder.

Guan Ertu thought to himself: The village is really lively tonight.

Ever since Liu Laozhu announced that he would pay the girl tax, many families in the village had quarreled and separated.

Even in a sane family, the man of the family would scold the mother-in-law for not having anything serious to do, and urge her to hurry up and arrest the chosen boy. The man of the family scolded the child and yelled: "I want to see my husband's family. Regardless of whether this is the case or not, I have to take it seriously when I get older. I can't just think about working and farming in one day."

Guan Ertu even heard someone talking about Xu Tianxin.

Just when he was about to enter the room and have a fight with someone, three questions in succession stopped him:

"Tian Xin said to Tian Xin all the time. Don't look at how much Tian Xin earns, how much she knows, and how many capable people she knows. Just remember what she said. I can see that, even if that girl farts, she can talk better than your father. Yes. But are you her? Are we the thick-waisted ones from Lao Xu’s family? Are you younger than her? She doesn’t even pay taxes!"

Makes sense.

Guan Ertu looked at Wei Fengshou and saw that there was another person squatting here who had been kicked out.

He was wandering around the village tonight just to catch this guy!

Guan Ertu squatted next to Wei Fengshou. The night was shining on the river. He looked at the river and suddenly said: "Fengshou, how about I be your father-in-law."

"Huh?" "Huh?!" In the middle of the night, Wei Feng was fishing in the river, and Guan Ertu was fishing for his favorite son-in-law.

In the past, even if Guan Ertu thought that at his age, he could not help his daughter raise a grandson for a few years, nor could he stay with his daughter for many years.

But the Guan family is too poor. Even if he doesn't live with his daughter and son-in-law and declares that he will never cause trouble, he will die alone. In this case, no one will be willing to marry him. People don't believe that his daughter will ignore him. The British are famous for their filial piety. Do you think that you have to help raise your children and your father-in-law?

Things are different now. Regardless of whether he is an old father-in-law or the money to support his grandson, he doesn't need the man to match him. He doesn't care about anything. He just wants his son-in-law to be able to work and live a good life.

Mainly, there is too much work at home right now, and we still need to build a house. He just wants to make medicine.

Later, in order to force Wei Fengshou to beg for mercy regardless of family division, the Wei family couple even came to visit Liu Laozhu and the fourth master of the village, but they did not give anything to their son. He also said that both of them had wages, and it would be nice if they could use their future wages as filial piety money. Life or death has nothing to do with them.

"Life or death has nothing to do with you, right?" Liu Laozhu was angry and shouted when he went out: "Second bald man, you don't have to treat his family as in-laws from now on. The whole village will testify for you. Ask Fengsheng again The idea is, if he agrees, pay half the money, and I will go to the Yamen to make Fengshou a door-to-door son-in-law."

"There is such a good thing."

And two major events happened in early May.

One is that I heard that in many villages, there are jobs for strong laborers and even elderly women in the town.

Because the yamen gathered manpower to help build shops on the newly planned road, provided food, the food was not bad enough to be full, and paid wages.

I heard that the military team from the mutual market has also set off.

On the day of departure, it was so majestic that the common people did not see the scene, but they could hear the sound of mules and oxen, the sound of wagons and the running of horses far away.

The second major event was that Zhao Dashan assigned twelve families to Liu Laozhu. It was said that they were fleeing famine and settled in Erdaohe Village.

Liu Laozhu, who led a family of more than 200 people, was very unhappy. Why were there three and five households in other villages, but they were given to twelve households in his village.

In addition, a “good thing” happened in early May.

That was the marriage of Xu Youshu, the eldest member of the Xu family.

Bai Muyan's family is not a vegetarian. Xu Youshu's father-in-law's family originally lived across the town and didn't know about the divorce between the Xu family's eldest family and Erdaohe's Xu family. However, Lao Bai's family has a lot of small businesses and knows many people. During the Chinese New Year, they spread the word about it.

When Xu Youshu's father-in-law's family heard this, they decided to retreat.

But first, because of Xu Youshu's spirit, the girl fell in love with her appearance. She is also the youngest daughter, and the family is used to it.

And if you want to find a young man who is not as tanned as a donkey's balls in a piece of land like this in the countryside, it is not easy to find.

Second, in the process of searching, the superiors asked the fifteen-year-old unmarried girl to pay taxes. Just like that, I found that if I were to search again, I might not have the same book. Now the value of the boy has increased. It’s still done.

To be honest, this may also be mixed with the inability to write a word "Xu" in one stroke. The woman's family was thinking about it with a sense of luck: If it is said to be a breakup, can the breakup be so complete? Didn't you hear that Shulai came home and told me that my grandmother is still taking care of her old age in Erdaohe, and I can't stop it as long as my grandmother is here. Another thing, the reason for the quarrel is nothing in the countryside. It's just that the parents favor the younger boy. Isn't that normal? That girl is very angry and can bump her head.

……

The day before Xu Youshu got married.

Mrs. Xu said to the old lady:
"When Arita got married... I could see that Arita was promising, so you didn't need to suppress them, so he happily came to the house and gave her two ounces of silver as a gift.

When they got married, they went from 200 copper coins to 50 coins as a gift. Presumably, these 50 coins were given because you kept talking about kissing your uncle, so it didn't look good to just give them 10 coins or 8 coins. Help my nephew, they had to pinch their noses to follow the ceremony. "

Old Mrs. Xu couldn't hold it back anymore: "You don't know, when Gu Sufen came to attend the ceremony, her face looked as ugly as the ashes on the bottom of a pot. She told me those little words, and every word of her advice helped my family to let me do this. I will miss her forever, and even said that since my family has many children, it is not worthwhile for her to give her gifts. I am afraid that I will forget the two ounces of money Arita paid me before."

The old lady sighed, that's what happened.

In fact, Gu Sufen also said at home that if you knew that the Arita people were going to die, you shouldn't have been so obedient back then. She was so angry when she heard that, she even had a fight with Gu Sufen and was so angry that she cried.

But let's not talk about that shit right now.

"I'll make up for the two ounces of silver from Arita," Mrs. Xu continued to pick her mother-in-law's dices while saying, "As for the fifty cents for getting married, his eldest daughter came to Di to get married. I have already gone back with her. One cent." That's right. Tian Chengqin didn't give her the two coins, so I gave her this to finish the job, so that she wouldn't have to go out to pick on me. I can't afford to waste this small amount of money. And don't go out and say that my family owes her. What about you? ? If there is, let the second child take it over tomorrow morning."

Mrs. Xu was afraid that the old lady would do something secretly.

The old lady said categorically: "I gave his grandma a leg, and he made me angry when he came to say New Year greetings. He thinks he is a child and doesn't say he is filial to me, an old man. How can I give it back to him?"

I don’t know if I can make any progress after getting married.

If she can really make progress, the old lady thought to herself: To be honest, if I kowtow to her after giving birth to a baby, she will be too generous and give her a lucky gift. If you can't give too much, you will give a little less.

On the day of Xu Youshu's wedding, only Xu Youliang from Erdaohe's Xu family went to Xujiazhuang. He was not there to have a wedding banquet, but to finally find time to tidy up his grandmother's two acres of farmland for retirement.

Xu Youliang obeyed his mother's instructions and handed the two gift coins directly to Xu Lizheng in front of the villagers, asking for help to take them back.

When the woman's family saw it, they all responded with gifts. This was a sign that the relationship had eased. Just when they were igniting hope and saying, "These are real relatives, we must go inside to have a wedding banquet", the villagers in Xujiazhuang began to discuss sadly: "It's okay if we owe them, but this time we gave them every penny. It's like completely breaking off the relationship." Looks like this. I didn’t even look at the grain and didn’t enter the door. I just went straight to the fields.”

"Oh, if this hadn't stopped, how open it would have been for the bullock cart to pick up the bride. It's not that they are not human beings. It's also true that they don't want to save their own daughter. For such a person, even if outsiders take out their heart and lungs I can't leave him alone. I heard that he's looking for a son-in-law for his second daughter again. I don't know if I'll force another one to bump into her this time."

Many women hint to their men: "There is a lot of work in the fields, hurry up and go to work."

Uncle Xu never expected that not many people in the village would come to join in the fun and see the bride today. This made him very embarrassed. Xu Youshu was full of anger before he finished worshiping.

The natal family members who followed the woman's family looked even more ugly. I really didn’t expect that Uncle Xu’s family would not only have a quarrel with Erdaohe over the pension field, but also be very unpopular in the village.

So later, when Gu Sufen saw Xu Zhaozhao appearing in the fields of Xujiazhuang, helping Xu Youliang in farming but ignoring her new sister-in-law, she acted like she was crazy. She grabbed Xu Zhaozhao without saying a word. , to start with a big mouth.

Xu Zhaozhao grabbed Gu Sufen's wrist and said, "How dare you?!"
