farmer's little girl

Chapter 84
Dagan has a household registration system, which is divided into good and low.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce belong to the good nationality, as for the cheap nationality, I will not list it in detail here.And this book not only distinguishes the status of a person from high to low, but also refers to the place of birth and the place of long-term residence. It is a means used by the government to facilitate the management of the people under its rule.

In Dagan, everyone has a household registration slip, which is generally collected in the hands of the heads of households.Because Hanjiazhuang is a rural area, in order to facilitate the statistics of extortionate miscellaneous taxes and the heads of corvee workers, they are collected in Lizheng's hands.This thing is not useful at ordinary times, but it must be used if the household registration is changed, so as to acceptably find out where the visitor came from.

Han Jin is not from Hanjiazhuang. His family left their hometown due to the disaster in their hometown, and settled in the local area under the arrangement of the government.Later, the Zhuang family married into the Han family, and after the Han Jin siblings changed their surnames, the household registration was hung under the name of Han Laoshuan.

Han Jin once mentioned that he wanted to move out of his household registration, but he was beaten back as soon as he said this. Han Laoshuan scolded him for forgetting his ancestors for forgetting his ancestors.And Han's Village is a family with the surname of Han. As for Han Jin, who bears the surname of Han but has a foreign surname, he has no right to speak in the village. Naturally, Han Lizheng suppressed this matter.

This happened only a few years ago. Although Han Lizheng is old, he is not yet confused, so he still remembers it.At this time, when Han Jin heard the old matter brought up again, his old face was pulled down on the spot.

He didn't reprimand, but earnestly, with a look of thinking for Han Jin.

"Jinzi, it stands to reason that I shouldn't say this as my cousin. You have been a stubborn donkey since you were a child. Why are you still so ignorant now that you are not young? Although your father is not your own father, after all Having raised you for so many years, you are father and son in terms of status, you are ungrateful if you do this, even if you don't want to think about other things, you have to take care of your own reputation in the future."

Han Jin laughed ironically in his heart, and it was like this again, as long as he wanted to do something, there would always be a lot of hats.There will always be people who keep saying in his ears that what he does is ungrateful, that is, he has forgotten his ancestors, and he is a heinous crime. Only by setting an example to others can the anger of everyone be relieved.

He admitted that Han Laoshuan had raised him for several years, but he did not lose work for the Han family during those years.Carrying water and chopping firewood to do farm work in the field, it was so hot in June, Han Dashan was lying at home, doing farm work in the field.His good stepfather 'pampered' him that much, but the key point was that everyone in the village said that he was pampering him and treating him well, so that he would not have to worry about not having any skills in the future.

Han Jin sometimes thinks, since this is pain, why doesn't he love his good son, but why he wants to love his stepson.Of course, Han Jin didn't think there was anything wrong with exchanging labor for food, but he would feel a little sick when thinking about these things occasionally.

However, he has grown up now, and he is no longer the stunned young man who wanted to be serious about everything and judged whether he won or lost.He can actually do these superficial skills, but he just disdains them.

Han Jin smiled.If Hu San and his group knew that when Han Jin laughed like that, someone would end badly.It's a pity that Han Lizheng didn't know that he hadn't dealt with Han Jin many times in these years, and he thought he was the same kid back then who wouldn't beat around the bush when he was provoked.

In the past seven years of working hard in the county, Han Jin has learned a lot, so much that Han Lizheng can't imagine.

Han Jin half-bent down, with a respectful attitude: "Uncle Lizheng is right, the boy knows and understands the truth. But after all, I am the only male in my Zhou family. When my mother remarried, my father I once said that when I grow up, let me change my surname back. I am very grateful to my father for nurturing me over the years, but as a son of man, I can’t forget the important thing of passing on the family line, so I am willing to bear this reputation , after all, I did this unethically. I also hope that Uncle Lizheng can be accommodating and accommodating, and he has given me this filial piety."

Hearing this, Han Lizheng's face stiffened.

He had expected all the reactions of this son of a bitch, but he never expected him to come to this move. If he refused, would it mean that he was not kind as a Li Zheng or a cousin?Watching others cut off the incense, but press down for your own selfishness?
This is a matter of extraordinary accounts, if outsiders find out, the spine will be smashed!
Older and high-status people pay more attention to reputation. Otherwise, Han Lizheng hated Han Jin, so how could he try to persuade him.

This can be regarded as shooting yourself in the foot by lifting a rock.Han Lizheng hadn't eaten such a flat stomach for a long time, and because of this, his mood was a little unsteady. He pushed his mouth hard, but the smoke didn't come out of his nose, and instead he got angry.He coughed vigorously, and most of the old people who smoked dry tobacco all the year round had this problem.

Hearing the movement, Han Chengjun ran in from the outside.

He thought what Han Jin had done to his father, and stared at him angrily.

"What did you do to my father?" As he said, he punched Han Jin.

This Han Chengjun is not tall, but he is very strong, his fist is as big as a sand bowl, if this fist is strong, Han Jin will probably have a few teeth knocked out.

As soon as the fist reached his eyes, he was clamped by Han Jin.

"Junzi, I didn't do anything to Uncle Lizheng, if you don't believe me, ask him yourself."

There was a smile on Han Jin's face, but the strength of his hands was not taken away at all. Han Chengjun felt that his wrist was hurting, as if it was going to be broken.

"You let go, do you want to let go?" He growled and swung his other fist.

Han Jin stretched out his hand to block it again, but said in his mouth: "Junzi, we are relatives, so there is no need for such a ruthless hand."

Han Chengjun's cheeks were trembling from the pain at the moment, so he couldn't remember anything else, "Who is related to you! It's just a poor settler with my Han family name, really think his surname is Han?!"

Han Jin smiled and said: "It seems that you don't consider me a relative, Junzi. I also know that my surname is not Han. If not, I came to Uncle Lizheng to ask for my household registration slip, so that I can recognize my ancestors. Uncle Lizheng , I know that you are a kind person, but you are not sweet, it seems that there are quite a few people in this village who think so, so why do you have to be in the middle of it." The last few words were said to Han Lizheng, At this moment, he had stopped coughing, and stared at his son, who had done more than succeed but failed.

If you don't have that ability, you still have to show off that ability.This Han Jin is a local thug outside, can Junzi beat him? !

When things got to this point, Han Lizheng couldn't keep his mouth shut, so he said a few words for Han Jin's sake.And Han Jin also played Tai Chi with the opponent in a serious manner, biting what Han Chengjun said inside and out, so that Uncle Lizheng should not be so embarrassing for himself, why not let him go, and both sides will be safe.

Han Lizheng saw that he couldn't say anything to Han Jin, so he could only say that he couldn't decide this matter, and Han Laoshuan had to say it.Han Jin said that his stepfather must still remember what he said, so Han Lizheng asked Han Chengjun to call Han Laoshuan.

Han Laoshuan soon arrived, along with Zhuang, Han Dashan, Han Dashu and others.

In addition, several respected elders in Zhuangzi also came, and it was obvious that Han Chengjun invited them here.As for what to do?Naturally, there are more people bullying and fewer people.Han Jin thought to himself mockingly.

Sure enough, a three-room trial was soon staged here, and the person who was interrogated was naturally Han Jin.These old men are ungrateful one by one Han Jin, forgetting their ancestors, repaying kindness with grievances, and the words they say are not very pleasant anyway.

And Han Laoshuan stood aside, also looking desperate, suffering all grievances and humiliation.Han Dashan's face was full of resentment against the enemy. If the situation allowed, he would like to come up and bite Han Jin to death.

Han Jin has experienced this kind of scene before, when Han Dashan stole the chicken from the villager's house outside, or did something bad to plant him on his head, it would happen like this.But instead of scolding him as an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf like this time, he would only say that he was broken from the root, anyway, it was beyond description, and asked his stepfather to take him back and teach him well.

And Han Laoshuan will naturally teach him well, he will not beat him, nor will he scold him, he will only sigh in front of his mother that she has raised a good son, and make him work twice as a punishment.

The memories are not good, so Han Jin lost the mind to continue playing with these people.

He told Han Laoshuan what he had just said to Han Lizheng, and asked him if he still remembered the original promise.

Han Laoshuan didn't expect that Han Jin would remember him for so many years because he just said something in passing, but he didn't have the face to say that he didn't say it in front of people. After all, many people in Zhuangzi were present at that time.

His eyes glanced at the pale Zhuang who was standing in a corner, Han Laoshuan stamped his feet, and said angrily: "Look at the good son you taught, I can't help it, you teach him, so that his reputation outside will not be so bad in the future , who would dare to deal with him!"

Immediately, all eyes were on the woman standing in the corner.

In the Han family village, the daughter-in-law who married in from outside has no status, especially in Han Lizheng's family. You can't even show up, let alone interrupt.

But because before coming, Han Laoshuan knew that the Zhuang family would be used, so he brought her along.This is his usual way of dealing with Han Jin. If someone can suppress him, why should he waste his energy.

He thought that Mrs. Zhuang would do what he thought, but it was a pity that Mrs. Zhuang disappointed him greatly this time.

"You have indeed promised me and my two children about this matter. Since the children have said so, let's give him a filial piety. Although I am a wife of the Han family now, I was once a wife of the Zhou family. When my father died, I promised him that I would take care of Jin'er to grow up, marry a wife and have children, and pass on incense to the Zhou family." The Zhuang said with her head half down, this is her consistent image in Zhuangzi.

Although the remarriage of widows is not restricted here in the north, Hanjiazhuang is different from other places. There are several chastity memorial archways in the village, which are all bought by the women of the Han family with their miserable lives.What's more, she is a widow with a foreign surname from the Zhuang family, and treats her even more harshly. When the Zhuang family first married in, she was criticized a lot, and she behaved a little out of line, so she was called by the elder women of the clan to teach her a lesson. .After a long time, she would not go out if she could not go out on weekdays, and even if she went out, she would avoid men.

But this time, Mrs. Zhuang couldn't keep silent. This was her son's only chance to escape from this place completely.She couldn't leave, she couldn't leave her son stuck here for the rest of his life.Last time, Jin'er was still young and weak, so she didn't say anything to support her son. Presumably, after all these years, she brought up the matter again, and the child must be confident.

No matter what, Zhuang decided to take a gamble.

Thinking of this, she raised her head to look at Han Laoshuan, then at Han Lizheng and those elders, knelt down with a plop, and cried with tears in her eyes: "I hope that all uncles and elders will be filial to the children. Even if you are a cow or a horse, you will remember your great kindness!"

Zhuang's behavior is very surprising. Over the years, Zhuang has abided by women's morals and regarded her husband as the sky. Although everyone has not said what she has done to her face, it has touched people's hearts. Therefore, in these years, few people in Zhuangzi will target her again. .But she never expected that such a scene would suddenly happen to her at such a time and in such a place.

For a moment, everyone felt that it was extremely difficult. Could it be that people outside scolded them for being domineering, bullying orphans and widows, and forcing people to cut off their accounts?

In the countryside, Jue Ren's account would only do this if they had a deep hatred for each other, and it was because the two sides planned to live forever.The old men couldn't help looking at Han Lizheng, who looked serious.

Han Laoshuan was so angry that his face turned blue, he rushed to pull Zhuang up, and was about to slap her.But as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was clamped.

"Father." Han Jin smiled sarcastically, making people feel that his father didn't mean much respect. "You beat my mother right in front of me, didn't you take me as a son of man seriously?"

"What do you want to do? Do you still want to be disobedient? Are you afraid that I will go to the county government to sue you for disobedience?!"

Dagan governs the world with filial piety, there are ten evils, the fourth and seventh of which refer to the crimes of being a descendant, disrespecting the elders, and being unfilial.If the parents go to the government to sue their children and grandchildren for disobedience, they will be punished with whipping and exile, or beheaded if they are serious.The so-called heinous, that's it.

Therefore, the government generally attaches great importance to this kind of matter, and it is a one-time report.This is also the most important reason why Han Jin has a lot of fame outside, but Han Laoshuan dares to make a fuss about him.Although he is a stepfather, Han Jin takes his surname and has been kind to him in nurturing him. If he sues Han Jin for disobedience, although he will not be beheaded, it will not make him feel better.

"Oh, sue me? The yamen is right there, hurry up, I won't stop you."

"you--"

"Okay, what's the fuss!" Han Lizheng suddenly said, "We're all a family, why make such an ugly mess, and Shuanzi, you're not too young, and the Zhuang family has also raised a son for you. Hitting her in front of so many people, how do you let Xiao Hai deal with himself."

Han Lizheng was never a person who would speak for a woman, so his words and actions made people surprised.But Han Jin knew it well, the whole Han family, the patriarch Han was already confused, and if it was smart, he still had to count.

Han Jin glanced at Zhuang who was weeping silently, and suddenly felt a little dispirited.

He has been waiting for this day for a long time, he really wants to see how these people who used to show off their power and aloof in front of him, are so angry and jumping.But after hitting the mouse and breaking the jade bottle, after all, she is his own mother.

He took out the document from his sleeve and handed it to Han Lizheng.

"This is a document signed by Liu Zhixian himself, please take a look."

Han Lizheng took the document in doubt, and after reading it, his face was very ugly.

He glanced at Han Jin with trepidation in his eyes, and said with an unclear attitude: "Jinzi is capable now."

Han Jin chuckled, "It's nothing special, but it's my brother-in-law's blessing. You probably don't know, my brother-in-law is going to Fucheng, so Liu Zhixian is willing to give my brother-in-law this face." He didn't say anything The fact that I used the money to buy it was also because I was afraid that after I left, the people in Hanjiazhuang would bully his mother, and if there was a deterrent, they would throw their hands at him.

Things went smoothly afterwards, and Han Lizheng quickly took out Hanjin's household registration slip and handed it to him.During the period, he naturally said a few more words to tell him not to blame Han Laoshuan, after all, he was kind to Han Jin in nurturing him.

Han Jin just listened to it and forgot it after hearing it. He knew what Han Li was afraid of, but if he wanted to take revenge, he wouldn't wait until today.

Everyone left, and Han Lizheng left Han Laoshuan behind.

Han Laoshuan still seemed a little annoyed, complaining in words that Han Lizheng didn't make the decision for himself, why he gave the household registration slip to that kid so smoothly.

Han Lizheng was furious a long time ago, and when he heard him say that again, he was furious, so he slapped him immediately.

"Hey, I'm worried about you, but it's not right? Liu Zhixian personally signed the document, do you think we can ignore it? Are you relying on Laozi's power to run amok in Zhuangzi and forget your surname? Right? You go to fight with Liu Zhixian, believe it or not, he can crush you with one hand! Although we chose this place by ourselves in our village, but Liu Zhixian is the parent official, wanting to dismiss is just a word, you want to harm me Lose this officer?!"

Han Lizheng was so angry that he stopped smoking, and walked back and forth in front of the kang.

"At the beginning when you were not allowed to marry that woman from the Zhuang family, you insisted on not listening, but she was just a face that could be eaten? At that time, I saw that this kid would not be a simple person in the future, but a simple person who could lead a widow alone. Mother and sister came to us after traveling such a long way? In order to help you clean up future troubles, I forced them to change your surname. You are good, my son is not good at teaching, and he insists on causing conflicts with each other. Big. It’s hard to live a good life, and you even get some good ones, and let me wipe your ass! This is great, forcing that kid out, not only did he not end up on the road, but he made a name for himself... "

"My eldest sister is also capable. She is married to a head catcher, and she can still speak in front of the county magistrate. Now she is about to be promoted to the prefecture. Drop it. There are so many things that can be used, don’t you want to be like a woman and care about people all day long. Well, now there are no cheap sons and cheap daughters, and you lose this weakness, and you will be at home from now on Properly confess to Mrs. Zhuang, and don't do it again. Without the name of this father and son, you think he would still be jealous of you!"

Han Lizheng's words made Han Laoshuan dizzy, but he probably understood what his cousin meant, and complained that he didn't confess those two bastards.But he is a big man, and he is not stupid to raise other people's children as his own. Can other people's sons compare with his own son? There must be no comparison.

"I've always raised him for a few years, and his mother is still here, what can he do to me?" He insisted.

Han Lizheng glanced at him, too lazy to talk to such a fool.

"Anyway, I've finished what I should say. If you want to listen, listen to it. If you don't want to, just listen. Don't come to me for such things in the future!"

Han Laoshuan walked out of the gate of Lizheng's house angrily. First, he was slapped in the face by his cheap son, and then he was scolded by Han Lizheng.

On the other side, Mrs. Zhuang followed Han Jin out of the gate of Lizheng's house and walked slowly all the way forward.

This kind of situation has not happened between mother and child for a long time.When he came to a fork in the road, one leading to Han's house and the other leading to Zhuangzi, Han Jin stopped.

Mrs. Zhuang rubbed her hands, and said in a low voice: "You are going to start a family soon, mother can't do anything for you, just rely on yourself, live a good life in the future..." She paused, then said: "Don't be here If you mess around outside, you will always be a husband and a father in the future."

As she talked, she couldn't go on anymore, and didn't know what to say to her son.

Han Jin gave her a complicated look, pondered for a moment and said, "If you don't want to stay here, come with me."

Mrs. Zhuang was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and said, "Xiaohai is still here, he is still young, so I don't trust him." Maybe she felt that this statement could not convince her son, so she said again: "Mountains and big trees are not easy to get along with, Xiaohai And they are not the same mother, if I leave, after Xiaohai..."

Han Jin interrupted her, "Okay, I understand. When I get married, someone will send you a letter. If you can come, come."

Zhuangshi blinked, and suddenly wanted to cry, but in front of her son, she really didn't want to cry anymore.He could only nod awkwardly, and said: "Mother will definitely go when the time comes, as long as you don't dislike it."

Han Jin wanted to say something, but he swallowed it when he reached his mouth.

After a while, he said, "Then I'm leaving."

Zhuang groaned.

Han Jin walked a few steps forward and stopped suddenly. He didn't look back, but said: "My wife is from Daxi Village, and I will settle down in Daxi Village in the future. If you, if you have something, come to Daxi Village to find me. "

Behind her, Mrs. Zhuang was wiping tears. Hearing this, she smiled and let out a hey.

Han Jin's footsteps became faster and faster, and soon disappeared into the distance.

When Han Laoshuan came out, he didn't see Mrs. Zhuang, and was thinking about where she had gone, when he saw her figure from a distance.As soon as she walked in, she saw her smile, and stood by the side with a sullen face for a while, before she sneered.

"Reluctant? If you don't want to, just follow along. Don't worry, I won't stop you."

Zhuang looked back at him, and for the first time, what came to his heart was not anger or aggrieved, but a kind of disdain.She didn't speak, turned around and walked back on the road.

"Speak, why don't you speak!" Han Laoshuan grabbed her.

Mrs. Zhuang stopped in her tracks and said indifferently, "What do you want me to say?"

Han Laoshuan was stimulated by the expression on her face, "What kind of expression is this? Disdain? You disdain me, you still slept with me for so many years, and my baby was born!"

Mrs. Zhuang knew that this man was shameless, but it was the first time she saw him so shameless. She was so angry that she turned around and was about to leave. Han Laoshuan grabbed her.

"It doesn't matter if you go, but don't forget that Xiao Hai is still in my hands."

After speaking, he shook off Zhuang's elbow and walked away proudly, while Zhuang stood on the spot in a daze, tears streaming down his face.

The second-bedroom home has been very lively recently.

The wedding date was just around the corner, so the couple in the second bedroom were busy shopping for Lu Jiaoyue's dowry when they had some free time.

The whole family discussed it, and the dowry gift from Han Jin was not kept at all, and they were all given to Lu Jiaoyue as a dowry.In addition, the couple in the second room planned to give their daughter a set of furniture as a dowry, some fabrics for clothes, ten beds made of new cotton for bedding, and a set of utensils.

Erfang has been doing business for so long, and now he has saved some money, so he naturally spends money on his daughter.If it weren't for the fact that the eldest was not yet married, and the two younger ones were still studying, the second-bedroom couple would want to add more money to the bottom of the box.For this, Lu Jiaoyue even argued with her parents, she didn't want so much money, and it was Mei's face that made her agree.

In the past few days, Erfang's family is making dowry furniture for Lu Jiaoyue.

The wood had been prepared long ago. Lu Jiaoyue was ten years old. Whenever he had free time, Lu Minghai would take his eldest son into the mountains to find wood. The wood he found would be cut off branches and bark. Then whenever the weather is good, take it out to dry.The drying of wood is also very particular, it must not be exposed to the sun, there must be a shelter, and it is best to dry it in the shade.Wood that is completely dry can be used for furniture.

The carpenter was hired from outside, and it was the carpenter from this family that was hired to build the kang cabinet for Lu Jiaoyue.The craftsmanship is good, the price is not expensive, and the people are honest.

Because he prepared a lot of wood, Lu Minghai planned to prepare all the furniture for his daughter.Two kang tables are needed, and although there are already two kang cabinets, it is better to make two more. No family will only have one kang.There are also dining tables, chairs, stools, small scorpions, dressing tables, wardrobes, cages, toilets, and bathtubs. Let’s tentatively set these up, and it won’t be too late to add them when Hanjin’s new house is confirmed.

So for many days, the sound of sawing wood can be heard when walking outside Erfang's house.

On this day, Han Jin came to Lu's house suddenly. He came to say that he would go out for a while.

Before coming to Erfang's house, he went to the main house in Daxi Village, just for the matter of household registration. Now that the matter of household registration has been settled, he still thinks that there is one thing he can't do, that is, he should go to his own father's widow. The bones were dug out, brought back to their original places and buried in the soil for safety.
