Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 402

Even though she had a bad impression of Zhang Lizheng, Liu Ya replied politely: "Yes, my father's name is Liu Dacheng, and there is an older sister and a younger brother in the family. My mother passed away the year before last."

"Oh, I remember, Liu Da's leg is lame. No, it seems to be paralyzed. Your Liu family is the poorest family in Pingshan Village." Having said this, Zhang Lizheng took another look at Liu Ya, with a serious look on his face. With strong doubts, he asked: "You said that you have an older sister above you and a younger brother below you? Are you the second girl of the Liu family?"

"Yes, my name is Liu Ya." Liu Ya replied, and at the same time, she already guessed why Zhang Lizheng had such an expression.

Sure enough, Zhang Lizheng said, "Aren't you a silly girl? There are other sisters in your family?"

"No, it turns out I wasn't clear-headed, and I got better a while ago." Liu Ya didn't want to chat with Zhang Lizheng about family matters, so she said directly: "I came today to ask Zhang Lizheng to open a household registration for me and my brother. Proof; the second is that my family is going to build a house, please Zhang Li mark the number of rooms in the new house on the deed, and then stamp it."

After speaking, Liu Ya took out the house deed that Liu Dacheng had given her from her bosom, handed it to Zhang Lizheng, and showed him.

Zhang Lizheng looked at the house deed, then looked at Liu Ya, frowned and said, "There are two things you came here today? This needs to be discussed carefully. Come into the room with me, the pen, ink and seal are all in the room."

Liu Ya agreed and followed Zhang Lizheng into the house.And the little girl from before also followed behind Zhang Lizheng.But after entering the house, Zhang Lizheng said: "Xiao Ping, go out and play, Grandpa has to do business here."

The little girl named Xiaoping agreed, turned around and left.

Zhang Lizheng waited until he was sure that Xiaoping was gone, and then sat down behind the table in a grand manner.Because of his fat body, the chair was completely filled, and the fat on his waist was almost squeezed out of the chair, making him look a little disgusting.

Liu Ya stood aside, trying not to sigh for the unlucky chair, calmly waiting for Zhang Lizheng to deal with her business.

But Zhang Lizheng stopped talking, just picked up a booklet on the table, flipped through it, and put it aside; picked up another booklet, flipped through it again, and put it aside.Finally, I opened the drawer and rummaged through it twice before raising my head and saying, "Second girl of the Liu family, I forgot where to put the household registration book of your Pingshan Village. Tell me, how old are you and how old is your brother?" Age? I can only issue you a household registration certificate after I ask clearly."

Liu Ya is so smart, she immediately understood what Zhang Lizheng meant.Smiling slightly, he said: "I am 11 years old, born in February; my brother is nine years old, born in May." While talking, he took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve, which weighed about three cents, and stepped forward to put it on. Putting it on Zhang Lizheng's desk, he said again: "I know my brother is still young, but I want him to go to a government-run school to take the exam. Without a household registration certificate, he can't do it. Please Zhang Lizheng to make it easier for him."

"Go to a government-run school. I've also heard about it. It's a good thing." While talking, Zhang Lizheng swept the piece of silver with the holder of the writing brush on the table, and swept the silver directly into his open drawer.But he said: "It's easy for you. When you turn ten years old, I will issue a household registration certificate for you immediately. But your brother is still a full year away from reaching the age stipulated by the government to apply for household registration, not to mention that he is not I was born in Pingshan Village, I remember correctly, right?"

Of course, Liu Ya could also understand what Zhang Lizheng meant, but he thought the money was too little.Then he took out another piece of silver, this time it was smaller, about two cents, and it was still placed on the table.

Zhang Lizheng looked at the piece of silver, frowning, as if he still felt that it was too little.

Liu Ya immediately said: "Lord Lizheng, let's go one by one. First, you help us siblings to get the household registration certificates. Isn't there one more thing to ask you later?"

When Zhang Lizheng heard it, yes, there is still money to be made.So he nodded and said: "It is indeed a good thing to be able to go to a government-run school. Although this age is a little bit behind, it is not inconvenient. I will issue a household registration certificate for you. If your brother can really pass the exam, You have to come back and thank me."

"That's for sure, for sure. If my younger brother studies well, he might be able to become a scholar in the exam and be selected as a candidate. I have to come to thank Zhang Lizheng for your help when the time comes." Liu Ya meant something in her words.

She was telling Zhang Lizheng, don't keep embarrassing her, "30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi", if Xiao Shu'er really became a talent, he would be proud of being admitted to some kind of scholar in this country.If he gets another official position, it is estimated that Zhang Lizheng will come to curry favor with the Liu family instead.

Sure enough, after Liu Ya finished speaking, Zhang Lizheng's complexion changed, he laughed dryly, took out a pen and paper, and began to write the proof to Liu Ya.

It was Xiao Shu'er who wrote it first.Liu Ya stood aside and watched him finish writing, and then wrote her own.Liu Ya specifically said: "My name is Liu Ya, elegant and elegant."

Zhang Lizheng immediately said: "Ah? Isn't it called Liu Ya'er? I remember that your eldest sister is called Liu Xu'er, the second girl is called Liu Ya'er, and the younger brother is called Liu Shu. When did you change your name? If you change your name..."

Liu Ya hurriedly said: "I didn't change my name, Ya'er was my nickname. At that time, my mind was not clear, and others called it stupidly. Now that I am not stupid, I am called Liu Ya."

Zhang Lizheng was also dubious, but this time he didn't ask too much.Anyway, as soon as the household registration certificate was issued, Liu Ya bid farewell to the name "Ya'er" completely.

After completing the two household registration certificates, Zhang Lizheng took out a small box in his drawer, opened the box, and inside was a seal, a name stamp, and a box of cinnabar ink pads.After affixing the seal and name stamp on the two household registration certificates, they handed them to Liu Ya.

Liu Ya read it again, it was written in a simple but clear way.That is to say, such and such a person, what year and month was born, where is his ancestral home, where does he live, I hereby certify and so on.Anyway, with the big red cinnabar seal, as long as the name and household registration are not wrong, it will be fine.

Then, Zhang Lizheng didn't put away the small box, but asked Liu Ya to show him the house deed of their house.

Liu Ya handed over the house deed again.Lizheng took it over and looked at it, and then asked: "Why, your family's life is getting better now, and you are going to build a new house? How many rooms will you build in the new house? Where is it built? The neighbors around agree that your house will be built. Is it a new house? You have to say hello to this, otherwise there will be disputes in the future, and it will be difficult for me to judge. It is difficult for an upright official to break up housework, and the neighbors must get along well."
