Hard times have room

Chapter 216 Xu Ai Guo
Early in the morning, when the sky was still slightly bright, Wang Jiandang drank the porridge made by Paulin in two or three mouthfuls, and went out the door wearing a bamboo hat and the only scorpion in the family.

Although the rain is light now, in order to avoid being suddenly attacked when we go home, we must be prepared, otherwise it will be quite uncomfortable to be drenched in the rain this morning.

He has to go to the captain's house to ask what the regulations are today.

Although it is still raining outside, it is a slight drizzle. Maybe it will stop at some time. He is not sure whether to go to work or not, so he can only go to the captain's house and ask.

If he really wanted to go to work in the rain, he would ask for a leave for Pauline. If he didn't go to work, he would go back and tell the girls to reassure them.

After walking for a while, Wang Jiandang came to Xu Aiguo.

Wang Jiandang’s house was built at the entrance of the village, Xu Aiguo’s house was in the innermost center of the village, and several of them were old houses that had lived in them for decades.

"Squeak-yah-"

Wang Jiandang gently pushed open the wooden door connected to the courtyard wall.

If you want to say who has a big yard and a wide area in Shanghe Village, it must be Xu Aiguo, the captain of the entire Shanghe Village!

Five large brick houses and three mud brick houses, lined up in a row, look magnificent.

On the left side of the yard is a vegetable field. At a glance, you can see that there is at least a five-point land. Next to it is his pigsty, which looks like ten or twenty square meters. There are no pigs in the pigsty for a long time, and they are all sold. The pigs are raised privately, and now they are filled with his family's rubbish.

On the right side of the yard is a large persimmon tree. Under the tree is a stone table and four stone stools, which are much more advanced than those stone piers in Wang Wenliang's house.

Xu Aiguo is now a great-grandfather. The big family of four generations has expanded by three more on the basis of the original five blue brick and tile houses. It is a mud brick and tile house, but it is still not enough for the grandchildren to marry. When the marriage room.

Therefore, except for the eldest grandson Xu Li, none of them have married yet.

Of course, part of the reason is that the second grandson is a second-rate guy who walks the streets and alleys, and no one is interested in him at present.

When people in the village get married, if it is a family, it must pay attention to the order of elders and children.

If the elder brother above doesn't get married, and the younger brother gets married first, then it will be difficult for the elder brother to find a daughter-in-law.

After all, according to the thoughts of the villagers, the younger brother is married, and your elder brother has no wife, so how poor you are, then when the matchmaker talks about the girl later, people should not pay attention to you!If someone is a little bit worse than you, no one will choose you. This is a lifetime event.

This has not changed in later generations. Similarly, if the elder brother is not married, the younger sister will marry, especially those who are married far away. Basically, in the village, it will be difficult for the elder brother to marry a daughter-in-law. This is the case. , then others see your family as if your own girl couldn't wait to marry her parents' family. How bad is your family's condition? How bad is your family to the girl? , which are all deductions.

"Founding Party, have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, let's go in and eat, and add a pair of chopsticks." Xu Aiguo asked Wang Jiandang with a rather kind smile.

He was standing under the persimmon tree in the yard, dripping two drops of water from time to time, but it was very interesting, much better than the noisy and messy house. In short, just two words, clean.

He originally thought it was his nephew who pushed the door. After all, that sister-in-law was not a safe one, so she might be acting as a demon. I didn't expect it to be Wang Jiandang.

He and Wang Dagen's family have always had little interaction, not to mention his family is now separated from the juniors, and I don't know what he is doing here?
As soon as Xu Aiguo asked Wang Jiandang to go in to eat something, Wang Chunli, who was standing at the door of the main room, leaning on the door frame, couldn't help but change her face, and her eyes turned towards Wang Jiandang were not good. Now her son Xu Li has not woken up at home. The meal was kept for him and not eaten yet. If Wang Jiandang ate it, her son would be hungry.

Don't even think about it, Xu Li is her only hope, her lifeblood, if Wang Jiandang is ignorant and wants to touch his things, don't blame her for being a villain and driving people away.

Even when her father-in-law Xu Aiguo said it, she was reasonable. Now that no one has a lot of money, there is no one who comes to the door in the morning begging for food. This kind of person is the most annoying, basically like a mouse crossing the street. Everyone screams in their hearts.

"Captain Xu, don't bother, I've already eaten it at home." Wang Jiandang refused without even thinking about it, when he didn't see Wang Chunli's cannibalizing eyes behind Xu Aiguo!
Of course, even if there was no such thing as Wang Chunli, he would have rejected it. Now that the situation is so difficult, going to another house to live and eat is equivalent to making a grudge.

At present, there is still food in his family, but it is not at that point. It is not appropriate to offend people.

"Well, what's the matter with you coming here to find Uncle?"

Xu Aiguo did not force himself. The family had a large population. He had been drinking porridge and eating wild vegetables for a long time, so he had a thick meal at noon. There was no surplus food for outsiders at home, so he was also polite. He will only say if the reviews outside are good.

After all, when encountering that shameless, politeness needs to be omitted, otherwise, it will never be polite to you.

"Uncle Xu, it's like this, I want to ask, do you still go to work as usual today?" Wang Jiandang directly stated his purpose.

"Oh, this thing, no need, wait for the rain to stop!"

"If the rain stops in the afternoon, then go to the sweet potato field, weeding, and...the previous kind of ground with peanuts and soybeans, wasn't all dug up not long ago, and put it away, now it's time to plant something, the field is empty. It was a waste, it just happened to rain heavily for the past two days."

"Just sweet potatoes. I'll plant sweet potato vines when the rain stops this afternoon." Xu Aiguo didn't hide his head and showed his tail, and directly told Wang Jiandang of his plans today.

Some time ago, the big guy was carrying water to the ground every day, and his body was weak. If he went to work in the rain again, who would not be able to stand sick? If this really happened, who would be under it? How can you murmur that he is inhuman and treats people like cattle!
If the villagers have feelings for him, it will be really troublesome for him to carry out his work.

Forget it, let's do things well, it's useless to think too much, and it's not bad to work for a while.

"That's okay, I understand, Captain Xu, then I'm leaving, there are still things at home." After Wang Jiandang heard Xu Aiguo's answer, his eyelids almost burst into laughter, but in just a moment, he took it back. .

After all, in front of the captain of the village, expressing his joy for rest is a bit dazzling. What if he wears small shoes in the future.
