The lady is busy farming

Chapter 139
Zheng Maocheng liked Da Kui's straightforwardness very much, "Haha, thank you in advance!"

Li Zheng saw that his son and daughter-in-law had made good friends with the Zheng family, and he was very satisfied. As a village leader, he should be more or less responsible, but his son is different, and his life may change in the future.

"Da Kui is right. Although the work has been a bit tight these days, the food at Brother Chengzi's is delicious. The oil and water are good, the taste is good, and the wages are paid. This is a good thing, even if you go to the town, you can't find it!" Da Shan Picking up the wine glass, he raised his glass to Zheng Maocheng, "I'll just say a word, if there is still such a good thing in the future, count me in."

"So do we." Zheng Youfu glanced at the Zhang brothers, they were all introverted and couldn't speak, so they could only follow suit.

Zheng Maocheng looked at them, and was very moved, "I accept all the wishes of the brothers, and I don't say anything. I drink and eat vegetables, and I am open to eat today. If you are not drunk, you are not allowed to leave."

"Come on, drink, eat,"

After a few glasses of wine, the feelings of the few people got closer, and they didn't need to be greeted by others, and the brotherhood became deep!
Seeing all this, Qiangwei was also very moved. The villagers who sat again were very simple and sincere, and they also wanted to make friends.With the support of their neighbors, their family's foundation in the village will only become stronger in the future.

It's not Qiangwei's calculations, but their family's rise is too fast, and too many people are jealous.

So their family needs an ally!
Qiangwei noticed that the elders of the two clans sitting on the upper hand had seldom spoken and were eating quietly.Only the occasional frown, as if not too keen on this family dinner?
Qiangwei doesn't quite understand, these two are the elders of the clan, it can be seen that they are very noble, with an attitude above the name of the village.

Seeing them frowning, is it because they can't understand the arrogance of young people, or do they have a problem with Mr. Zheng?

Most of the people in Houshan Village have the surname Zheng, and their ancestors have lived here for generations. There are very few outsiders like the Zhang brothers.

Qiangwei heard that people of other surnames are never allowed to participate in the affairs of the clan, but they need to be carried out together. Such blatant discrimination is because there are few outsiders and they have no right to speak.Participate if you have something to do, objection is still invalid, I don't like you to leave.

If it weren't for going nowhere, who would go far away!
Qiangwei knew that her parents had greeted Lizheng in advance and made arrangements, so even if she had an opinion, she could only keep silent.

Li is the person in charge of a village, and the patriarch and Li Zheng are responsible for it alone. No matter how the elders of the clan have opinions, it is useless.

Seeing his father happily drinking with Lizheng and the others, he didn't pay much attention to it except to give food to the two clan elders occasionally, probably he was unhappy in his heart!

Qiangwei nuzzled Wen Hui, signaling him to take care of those awkward old men.

Wen Hui understood, held the wine glass and boasted fiercely, which made the two old men twitch their lips and smile.

Qiangwei suddenly realized that she was being left out in the cold, and she felt a sense of presence.

Take yourself seriously!

I am used to being arrogant at ordinary times, and to put it bluntly, it is also used by the clan. I always feel that I have a lot of power in my hands, and I always look down on everyone with an eye above the top, just being stubborn.

Generally, if the villagers have something to do, they will ask the elders of the clan to come forward to show their support.Over time, I got used to something wrong.

Having said that, as long as the patriarch doesn't speak, these people are basically just decorations. They look superior when they have nothing to do, but they may not be useful when they have something to do.

After a meal, the host and guest enjoy themselves!
Zheng Maocheng was very happy, toasting one by one, he drank too much, Da Kui, and Da Shan were also dizzy, the Zhang brothers were fine, they were used to the rigid habits they had developed over the years, Zheng Youfu was dull, but he could drink well.

Wen Tao and Wu Song and Wu Lin are responsible for sending people home.

After everyone arrived home safely, the house was almost cleaned up, and Qiangwei took the initiative to distribute the remaining meals to the aunts who came to help.

Knowing that there are children in their family, people in this era are not rich, and they are willing to throw away leftovers. Most of the food that can be eaten is given away, and the food that cannot be eaten is used as swill to feed pigs, and it can also raise fat.

"It's finally done, it's tiring enough." Qiangwei clapped her hands, she sorted out her own things, and put away the things borrowed from other people's houses. I will let the brothers continue to deliver them later, and put two eggs in the bowl to express my gratitude .

In the next few days, the mopping-up work was also completed. With a little preparation, Wu Song and Wu Lin officially moved there, and the ducks were also transported there by the way. Now the ducklings have grown up a circle. If they go to the river to find Some fish and shrimp are estimated to grow faster.

After finishing the house work, I will continue to open up wasteland in the mountains, and open as much as I can before the summer harvest.

During the period, I was coming to spread the word, saying that Zheng Kaiyun, an old couple from a single household in the village, was willing to come and help put the ducks, as long as they took care of the food.

It is said that Zheng Kaiyun and his wife originally had a son, and with two acres of Susukida, they could barely survive, but the son fell ill during the period and died young.Since then, the life of the old couple has been basically decadent. They were in their 40s, and they are working like a 70-year-old man.

When there is no hope in life, people are depressed, and they look no different from old people who are dying.Qiangwei and Li Shi found the old couple together, looking at their dilapidated yard, they were very sad, the two of them were obviously waiting to die.

"Aunt Zheng, the girl and I came to see you." Li Shi and Qiangwei glanced at each other, and there was a flash of unbearable in their eyes. They were both kind-hearted people and couldn't bear to see this miserable scene.

Old Zheng was sitting in the yard mending a piece of clothing, raised his filthy eyes to look at Li's mother and daughter, and it took him a while to react.Seeing Qiangwei frowned, it is still troublesome to find helpers for them here!

What they are looking for is someone who can do some light chores, not someone with dementia!Although she sympathizes with their experiences and can help them a little, it is different to hire people to work.

"You belong to Mr. Zheng?" Old Zheng put down her clothes. She heard from the old man today that if he invites them to release ducks, not only can they be paid, but if they do a good job, they may also be able to support them in the elderly.

"Yes, old aunt, Li Zheng said that you are willing to come to my house to help, so the head of the family asked me to ask, if we can sign a document for you, under the witness of Li Zheng, the document will take effect." Li Zheng Although Shi was full of kindness, he still didn't forget the words that he had discussed in advance.

"The old man has said that, we are willing, whether the paperwork is not paperwork, we two old bones, don't care about this." Old Zheng's words were clear and clear. "Come in quickly, my house has nothing to entertain you." The old lady said, and went to the kitchen to bring out two bowls of boiled water.

Qiangwei looked at their dilapidated house, which didn't even have a place to sit. At first, she was a little conflicted, but when she saw the two bowls she brought out, they were clean, and her hands, the nails were neatly manicured , although skinny, but also clean.

"Grandma Zheng, don't worry, my family's work is not heavy. Grandpa Zheng is responsible for raising the ducks, and you are in charge of cooking. There are two servants in our family, so you can cook for the four of you." Qiangwei smiled. Then he took the bowl and said along the way.

"Our old bones are nothing, but, will it cause trouble to your family?" Old Zheng's eyes showed hope when he heard this, but he hesitated again when he thought of his family's reputation.

Because they lost their children in old age, they have always been disliked by the villagers, who believe that they must have committed sins in their previous lives, so they will not die well in old age.She also knows that people in the village don't like to deal with their family, for fear of being affected by bad luck.

Therefore, she seldom goes out, and she is not afraid of being pointed out, her heart has long since died, so what are you afraid of!

"Trouble? Why?" Qiangwei didn't quite understand, looked at the pity in her mother's eyes, and then suddenly realized, "Grandma Zheng, don't worry, our family doesn't care about those empty things, as long as we do a good job, not only will we earn money, Our family also supports you and Grandpa Zheng for the elderly. If you don’t believe me, just ask Li Zheng, we don’t lie.”

After thinking about it, Qiangwei guessed that most of them were delayed due to illness. Children are already weak in constitution, and coupled with poor nutrition, a slight illness may kill them.

In addition, the medical conditions here are backward, and as an ordinary person, eating is a problem, so there is no spare money to buy medicine and see a doctor. Most people have a headache and brain fever, or they can get over it by themselves, or a minor illness can turn into a serious illness.

It was already very painful for the two couples to lose their son, and they are being squeezed out and disgusted by others. One can imagine their situation.

This is the reason why three people become tigers.

Hearing what Qiangwei said, Mrs. Zheng, who was still worried at first, stared at Mrs. Li happily and confirmed, "I... the old man and I have nothing to look forward to. We just want to see our son someday. No Thinking of coming, there is still such good fortune.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Li was heartbroken, and hurriedly tried to comfort her. She finally settled the matter, and just waited for Lizheng to have it notarized. These two people will become long-term employees of her family in the future.

After going back, Li Shi and Zheng Maocheng said that they both sighed, they both lived in the same village, and they did their best to keep the old couple.

Afterwards, this matter was known to the villagers, and some lamented that Zheng Guangkuan had gotten lucky, not only could he live in Mr. Zheng's new house, but he also got money every month.Some lamented that Mr. Zheng was so courageous that he dared to take in any unlucky people.Others ridiculed maliciously, saying that Boss Zheng was trying to squeeze Zheng Kaiyun and his wife.

When these came to Qiangwei and the others, they just smiled indifferently, their mouths grew on other people, how could they not control them, let's just walk and watch, sometimes they slapped their faces.

But after Zheng Kaiyun and his wife moved into their new house, people who were rarely seen before happily released ducks by the river every day.As soon as the meal time came, Mrs. Zheng took the food box to deliver the meal. The old couple ate and chatted on the river beach while watching the ducks. The people who watched were envious.

Over time, for some reason, a rumor emerged in the village, and the trend became more and more intense. Sometimes Qiangwei and the others would be stared at when they went out, but the eyes were not very comfortable.

Not only Qiangwei and Li Shi felt it, but even Zheng Maocheng's thick lines felt something was wrong.

"What's the matter, isn't our family causing trouble?"
