Nongmen Jinfeng: Cold-noodled husband and little daughter-in-law

Chapter 820

"You can't just stare at the bacon, right? If it's all so salty, can the Zhang family still live?" Fang Zijian asked with a frown on the side.

"Cousin Zefei and I probably ate the most. Uncle Zhang kept adding meat to our bowls, and they all ate vegetables and steamed buns." Fang Zizhan's eyes darkened when he said this, "We were given rice. "

Once upon a time, the staple foods of their family were vegetarian dishes and coarse grains. Although they often ate meat, it was mainly eaten by their brothers. The adults did not stretch out their chopsticks because they were growing up and studying hard.

Not to mention the old Fang's family, the entire Fangshan Village does not have such a hard life. Half a pig can be consumed in the courtyard every day. Eating meat is such a common thing.

But in the Zhang family, they could only take the old year's bacon from the attic and stew it for guests. If it wasn't for the reluctance to eat it on weekdays, how could it be kept until now?

It is natural to be salty if it can be kept until now, otherwise it will go bad early.

Therefore, he ate this meal with a lot of emotion, not taste.

"Is the Zhang family's environment so bad? I don't think the Liu family and the Wang family are in such a predicament. Could it be that the three uncles are not diligent?" Fang Xiaofu was a little disbelieving.

According to what she saw with her own eyes, the rural environment she lived in was not so barren.

Maybe it's because the overall economic level of Dongli Kingdom is not bad, and they value the way of Confucianism. Although everyone supports scholars and lives a bit poorly, there are fields to grow, and food is still available.

In addition, they go to work in the city during the slack season, and many farmers have handicrafts with them. No matter how bad they are, they can weave bamboo baskets and sell them in the market for money.

Dawang Village is on the other side of Nanji Village, a bit far from Daliu Village, but it's not in a deep valley either.Therefore, she can only think that the Zhang family is poor because they are lazy.

"The three uncles are not lazy. The Zhang family also has a few acres of fertile land, ten acres of medium-sized land, and a few acres of mountain forests. However, their family has only confessed to cousin Yanping, and there are a few scholars under them."

"Originally, his family wasn't in such a difficult situation. Cousin Yanping originally planned to go to the county town to find a job after being admitted as a scholar, so as to save food expenses for himself to go to school in the county."

Fang Zizhan sighed at this point, and said helplessly: "But his family made such a fuss before, and now my father is sick in bed. Although his life was saved, he still has asthma problems and needs to be treated with medication."

"His grandma, mother, and second aunt were beaten by our uncle. Although it was just a bruise on the face and the ointment was applied, it was almost healed, but it was not happy, and he was also sick. He also asked the doctor for medicine and asked for money everywhere. ah."

"A few people fall down in this family at a time, and the housework falls on the pregnant third aunt and several younger sisters. After school, the younger brothers have to go to the mountains to collect firewood and pull pig food. Cousin Yanping also has to go to the fields to work. .”

"When we went, he was clearing the land. He said that he would go to the city to find a job after planting the wheat these days. There are still two months before the entrance to the county school, and one earns one."

Fang Xiaofu shook his head when he heard this, and said with emotion: "It's really self-inflicted that hurts the family."

The brothers sighed helplessly when they heard this, but they didn't know how to evaluate it.

They have seen the unreasonableness of those women before, but it's okay to toss around outside, the big deal is to avoid others, and it won't affect others much.

I didn't expect them to be able to torment so much at home. They almost tormented the old man to death, and now they have to torment the children.They are so kind!

"We can't provoke that kind of women at all. We can't let them entangle us. They will kill us." Fang Xiaofu suddenly emphasized with a very serious expression.

The three brothers nodded immediately, and Fang Zizhan said again: "I have made this clear in front of my uncle and cousin Yanping in the field. We hired him because of his talent and character, not because of his relationship."

"Therefore, we will treat all members equally, and will not treat them differently because of other relationships, let alone make compromises because of the so-called elders' demands."

"If you do well, you will be rewarded, and if you don't do well, you will be punished. But if you do something betrayal, no one can bear the consequences. After hearing this, they immediately promised not to do that shameless thing."

"I found that when I said the following words, their faces were relaxed. At first I said that when I hired him, he was still embarrassed and wanted to refuse."

"Of course, you wouldn't be willing to accept alms from rich relatives, especially after you've had trouble. I'm afraid their family will be talked about behind their backs when they walk in the village."

Fang Xiaofu curled his lips, he could understand the proud and frustrated mood.I forgot which ancient text said that a gentleman is not allowed to eat.

The arrogance of a scholar should not be underestimated. Although some people will be pedantic and stubborn, and eventually become obsessed with fame and fame, some people rely on this arrogance to support them to become an upright and clear person all their lives.

Zhang Yanping refused to accept the offer at first, but later Fang Zizhan said that it was not because of his relatives that he was interested in his talent, learning and moral character.

Although he is not willing to accept charity, this is his arrogance, but if it is a normal employment without discrimination, he will gladly accept it, which shows that he is not a pedantic person.

A man who is not pedantic and responsible is reliable wherever he goes.

"I talked to him about the general accountant's affairs, about what work to do, but he didn't say anything, but his father laughed and said that he found the right person for this matter."

It turns out that Zhang Yanping has a flexible mind since he was a child, and he reacts quickly to academics, so he has always prepared two hands for his studies, one is to take the imperial examination, and the other is to practice accounting. , earn money to support the family.

"That's good!" Fang Xiaofu couldn't help laughing after hearing Fang Zizhan's description of the situation at that time, "If he is really so capable, then give him the management treatment."

Fang Zizhan nodded and smiled: "It's just that I went in a hurry today, and I can only negotiate a preliminary intention. I made an appointment with him to sign the letter of employment in three days. The employment period is three years. We will talk about what happens after three years. After all, we have to rush for the exam. Everything is premised on not delaying your official career.”

This is also what they discussed before, and it is the same arrangement for other people.

"Then you three hurry up and draw up the letter of employment, and I'll take a look later." Fang Xiaofu looked at the three brothers with a smile, and threw the job directly to them.

She can write a system, but she has never seen what the letter of employment looks like in this era. They buy and hire people are handled by the third uncle, and she has not participated in it, so this kind of thing is left to people of this era. Do better.

What's more, there are three top talents in front of you.

"It's convenient for me to go first." As a result, Fang Zizhan said suddenly and walked out.The two elder brothers behind him rolled their eyes at the same time, and Fang Xiaofu just collapsed with a smile.
