Farmhouse Golden Phoenix

Chapter 44

When Su Jingsen arrived at the entrance of the village, he didn't go home, and drove directly to the elder's house.

Qi Zhang is ten years older than Li Zheng, with a half-length beard hanging down his chest, and his figure is very strong and vigorous, which doesn't match his beard.However, this person also has some kung fu, otherwise, he wouldn't be a elder.

"Hey, isn't this from the old Su's family? Why are you free to come here today?" The senior elder raised his eyebrows and smiled, and stretched out his hand to signal inside: "Haven't you had dinner yet? It's just right, the guy in my family just made a meal. After dinner, you just have something to eat."

"The elder hasn't had dinner yet?" Su Jingsen was a little surprised, he came here directly because he saw that it was getting late.Originally, I thought that the elders and the others must have eaten dinner. After all, the farm work in the field is not too busy at the moment, and there is also an early meal.

The elder laughed and nodded: "Well, I have something to do today, so I used it a bit later. Are these a few children in your family? They are all pretty good, the eldest is stable, the second is smart, and the daughter is beautiful. , Su Laosi, you are lucky."

"The senior elder was just joking. If you really say that you are blessed, no one in these ten miles and eight villages knows that Song Haoming from Li Zheng's family is the smartest, and Li Hu from the senior elder brother's family is the most powerful. They both inherited their father's career. , one by one can do a lot.”

Su Jingsen also smiled back and boasted a few words: "There is also my eldest niece, who married into the county and became the wife of an official. This blessing is not for everyone. I envy her more than I envy. In the future, my Son, if Li Hu is half as sensible and capable, I will be satisfied."

Elder Qi was overjoyed when he heard this, and repeatedly ordered his wife to go to the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes, and he wanted to drink with Su Jingsen.Su Qinghe looked at it, the elder's family was relatively authoritarian, because there were not enough bowls and chopsticks on the table in the room, neither the elder's wife nor the daughter-in-law were on the table.

Sure enough, soon, Su Qinghe was dragged to the kitchen. The eldest daughter-in-law, two daughter-in-laws, and a little girl and granddaughter were all eating at the kitchen table.As for Su Zhiping and Su Zhian, they were left in the main room.

"This is Xiaohe, right? I often hear people say that the daughter of Su's fourth family is good-looking and capable at ordinary times. I heard that she has grown new crops?" A bowl of soup, he asked with a smile.

In the farmhouse, if you go to visit someone's house at night, if you happen to meet the other person's house for dinner, it's normal to have a couple of bowls.

Although elder Qi is also in charge, he and Li Zheng's family live in Liucun.Of course, Li Zheng and Chief Qi are not only in charge of Liu Village, but a total of five or six nearby villages.

And Liucun is between Dafeng Town and Taiping Town, with the river on the left and the official road on the right. The transportation is very convenient, so Lizheng and Qichang both live in Liucun.There is also a household head, who is not in Liucun, but lives in Stone Village next to Liucun.

Since everyone is from the same village, the elders don't put on airs too much.Besides, if he didn't invite this meal, he would appear even more petty, so he invited Su Qinghe and his son to the table.

Su Qinghe was very restless, while coping with the words of the elder wife, she was also worried about the father and son in the house, wondering if they had told the story, and what attitude the elder had.

"Auntie, you're welcome, I'm full." Seeing that the eldest daughter-in-law handed over another steamed bun, Su Qinghe quickly waved her hand: "Auntie, just eat by yourself, don't worry about me. This is the granddaughter of my uncle's family, right? She is really beautiful, and she will definitely be like her eldest aunt in the future, marry into a wealthy family, and be an official wife that everyone envies."

Su Qinghe, who was seven or eight years old, said these words with sincerity, which made people feel ironic.The eldest daughter-in-law couldn't close her mouth with a smile: "Oh, Xiaohe is really sweet. If you have nothing to do on weekdays, you can come to our house to play with the big girl more, so that you can teach her to learn a little bit from you, and talk in the future. It sounds nicer, too."

Su Qinghe's smiling face froze. While trying to please the elder wife, she also had to pay attention to keeping her tone of voice at the level of a seven or eight-year-old child. That's tiring, why not work like this for two days.

It wasn't until the moon had risen that the elder came out with his hands behind his back, followed by two brothers, Su Jingsen and Su Zhiping.Su Qinghe rushed over to meet her, pulling Su Zhiping with one hand and Su Zhian with the other.

"Okay, Su Lao Si, I know about your matter. You are right. This matter is related to Liu Village and the reputation and atmosphere of the entire Dafeng Town. I will definitely take care of it, or stop this unhealthy trend. In the future, all those who come out of our Liu Village will be petty thieves, and the reputation of Liu Village for hundreds of years will be ruined."

Chief Qi said with a puffed stomach, and Su Jingsen followed suit with a smile: "What Chief Qi said is that I was also worried about this, so I dared not hide this matter. Speaking of which, they are all from the villagers. If the matter was not too serious, I would also Everyone who doesn't want to make trouble will lose face, my family will still live in Liucun, and if there is a quarrel, my Su family will not be able to please."

"Haha, you're right. People from the village, there's really no need to make a scene too ugly." The elder Qi said with a smile, and reached out to pat Su Zhiping on the shoulder: "You two sons are not bad, haha, you are well-organized and very polite." It makes sense, in the future, it will definitely be promising."

"The elders are honored. As long as they can be like tigers, they can earn enough money to find a wife for themselves in the future. The things I struggled for are all for my little He." Su Jingsen also laughed. Said, Elder Qi laughed even more: "I can't tell, you are a girl who loves girls, and I don't know which kid will be cheaper in the future."

As he spoke, he had already reached the door, Su Jingsen turned back and cupped his hands: "I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm really ashamed to beg for a meal from Mr. Senior. Please go back, Mr. Senior, and I'll take my leave now." .”

"Then I won't give it away, don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter well." The senior elder reached out and patted Su Jingsen's shoulder, said politely, and then turned and entered the courtyard gate.Su Jingsen, on the other hand, waited until the children got into the cart before driving the ox cart away.

Mrs. Su Zhang had been waiting at home for a long time. When she saw them coming back, she poured hot water for them to wash their hands, and went to the kitchen in a panic to set the dishes.Su Jingsen followed behind and said, "Don't worry, we've already eaten, at the elder's house. You haven't eaten yet, have you? Hurry up and get some food, and eat by yourself."

"Yeah, we are asking the elder to do something, why are you still eating at someone's house?" Su Zhang was a little uneasy: "Did the elder agree to re-do this matter?"

"I promise, there hasn't been such a sneaky thing in the village for many years, and if the senior elder doesn't come out to do something, I think the villagers will forget that there is a senior elder." Su Jingsen said with a smile: "This matter just happened to let the senior elder Li Liwei, I guess, he will bring Li Hu to deal with this matter tomorrow."

"What's the matter? The elder is ready to retire?" Su Zhang asked suspiciously, Su Jingsen nodded: "How old is Li Hu, and he has children, and the elder should pave the way for Li Hu, tomorrow For the disposal, the elder will come forward, and then the implementation of the disposal results, it is estimated that Li Hu will come forward."

Mrs. Su Zhang nodded while eating: "If the elder is planning to retire, it makes sense. The previous county magistrate was a good one. Not to mention the county, even in our village, there are very few fights and troubles." Damn, the elders don't care about anything, this is an opportunity."

On the second day, the senior elder really beat the gong at the head of the village, calling the whole village to go to the wheat threshing ground near the village.The wheat threshing field is quite big, and the whole village can stand there without being too crowded.There were quite a few people who brought small benches or something, and men and women stood in two piles.

"Recently, a very serious incident happened in the village. Chief Ben Qi asked you to come here to talk about it." Unlike Li Zheng, the elder chief spoke with a pleasant face and tried to be reasonable to the greatest extent.The elder himself was a bit irritable, and he was in charge of public security matters, so he never wasted his words, so he immediately told about the seed digging in Su Jingsen's house.

"This matter is very irritating. Everyone is farming. Naturally, they know how important this kind of seeds and fields are to us farmers. What's more, the seeds in Su Jingsen's house are still new crops. Su Jingsen said, if the grain is planted well, we will sell it to people in our own village at a low price next year, but in the end, you can't even wait for a year or so? Is this how you treat the old Su family?"

The elder was very angry, and shouted with his eyes wide open: "I, Liucun, can't tolerate this crooked wind. I'm just going to talk about it here today. I want to save face. You go back and dig the seeds secretly. Shameless!" Yes, then wait for the next year to lose money! At what price do you sell the corn in Su Jingsen’s family, and at what price you will pay Su Jingsen for the corn you grow!”

"Senior, I don't agree..." Someone suddenly shouted: "These corn seeds are not only in Su Jingsen's family, but other people's families can't have them?"

"Don't be unconvinced, no one else has this kind of seed. If you are so unconvinced, is it because you also planted corn yourself?" The senior elder asked with a sneer, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, with a smoldering aura , The man who just watched shrank his neck, and didn't dare to speak again.

Elder Qi said again: "This time Su Jingsen is also kind-hearted. He didn't say that we must find out who stole the seeds. Otherwise, do you think you can stand here in peace? Stealing seeds will be jailed!"

Su Qinghe listened for a while, squinting her eyes and smiling, as long as no one can grow corn this year, and then their Su family suppresses other crooked people in this village, she will treat it as a seed that is only half-divided. Rats ate.

Although some people were not convinced, the elder was very stubborn this time, and he only accepted the solution that Su Jingsen said before - to deal with it secretly in private, and the big guy pretended not to know, but if he wanted to confront the elder, then Just wait to lose money.

"Father, do you think we want to send a thank you gift to the elder's family?" When the elder announced the end of the meeting, Su Qinghe followed Su Jingsen and Mrs. Zhang back home, and asked while helping to cook.

"I want to give it away. When I sent your brother and the others to school just now, I bought some snacks, wine and meat in the town, and I will send them over later." Su Jingsen said with a smile: "Now, let's see who dares to steal our family's seeds , However, in order to prevent them from jumping over the wall in a hurry, it is better for me to guard these two days, my child, the bedding is not put away for me, right?"

"No, just keep it in the house, and you can just move it to the cart at night." Su Zhang said with a smile, kneading a couple of noodles, and suddenly thought of something: "The good days of Qinghua are not far away." Bar?"

"Well, what's the matter?" Su Jingsen asked, and Su Zhangshi rolled his eyes at him: "I have to add makeup to Qinghua, I have to go to town in two days, tear up two feet of cloth, and buy some jewelry .”

Su Jingsen nodded: "You can handle these things as you see fit. By the way, I was thinking, is it better for our family to have two dogs? Then I can't guard such a large piece of land alone."
