I went ashore by weaving straw shoes and became a master craftsman

Chapter 364
"Apeng misses you. Talk to your brothers and sisters in the courtyard. You don't need to do the rest."

Wang Zhu nodded honestly.Since entering the courtyard just now, it can be seen that the guards listened to Sister Ge Cong's words, so he can't make a mistake.

The cavalry team had already prepared for the trip. In addition to camp tents, bedding and pottery stoves, they also carried food utensils, grains, bacon, firewood, and even wormwood to repel mosquitoes.The courtyard couldn't be crowded, the warriors talked and laughed, and set up several stoves outside the courtyard gate to cook.

As the sun sets, more and more villagers gather to watch the Wang family. No one dares to ask the soldiers what is wrong with the Wang family. But looking at the current situation, it is definitely not to investigate the Wang family or to arrest Wang Zhu. of.

Could it be...Wang Ge is back?Then you can't be so capable, leading troops to travel, right?

The entire Zhang family next door was dispatched, especially Wei Wei, who was the best to inquire about things.I don't know who started the discussion about Zhang Cai's marriage. In two years, six matchmakers were invited. Either Zhang Cai thought the woman was ugly, or the woman thought Zhang Cai was lazy. The reputation is all tied up.

courtyard.

Wang Ge asked the guards to fumigate all the houses, and then helped his father into the main house.It can be seen that Wang Zhu really puts his heart into it, the two bamboo beds in the house are in the same position, the bed curtains are very clean, and all the bedding is bought later.

When we first moved to Weiting, we knew that the new house was narrow, so we didn't bring the bamboo beds there.Wang Dalang touched both sides, sighed, and sat upright. "Age, the matter of Wang Zhu... oh, forget it. In fact, in terms of temper, the tiger head is with me, and you are with your mother."

"Then I have to tell Father the truth, and it looks the same."

"Haha." Wang Dalang likes the eldest daughter the most, and he never likes others to avoid mentioning eye problems in front of him. "You have made up your mind since you were a child, and you are all right. I just want to tell you, don't give Wang Zhu a cold face in front of A Peng. A Peng remembers more things than A Ai. Don't make it difficult for your second brother."

"I understand, don't worry."

"Go out and have a conversation. Call me when the meal is ready. I'm hungry all the way."

"Then I'll let Hutou come in to accompany you."

"Okay." Wang Dalang knew that the eldest daughter was worried about him, "It's just right, I haven't heard him recite for a long time."

Wang Ge sat in the courtyard, and Wang Ai went behind her and put his arms around her neck and said, "I asked brother Zhucong, Shoushipo won't let people from the village go up."

"That's true."

"Well. It started half a month ago."

"Aai is really amazing, it only happened half a month ago, and you can find out."

"Hey." Wang Ai was so happy that he walked around the courtyard with his hands behind his back, looking at the room and the wall, with the same posture as Wang Weng.

Wang Ge looked at Wang Zhu and asked, "Are the two tenant farmers still working hard? I don't come back very often, so don't take care of difficult things by yourself. We are a family, so we should talk about it."

"It's not difficult. The tenants are very diligent. During this period of harvesting flax, and soon to harvest wheat, I didn't go to Weiting to see my eldest parents."

Wang Ge nodded and called his second brother: "A Peng, come."

It turned out that Wang Peng had been looking out on tiptoe left and right at the entrance of the courtyard. When he heard him being called, he ran back immediately: "Eldest sister, there was a fight outside just now. The guard Uncle walked over and stopped the fight before he spoke."

Wang Zhu: "It's Grandma Wei and... Mrs. Jia's eldest sister-in-law. They fought once last month."

Wang Ge remembered that Wei Wei was Zhang Cai's grandmother, so there was no need to ask why she fought. Some village neighbors must have guessed that she had returned home in good clothes. "Stop interacting with these two households in the future. If someone inquires about me, you just use one sentence to evade... Master Wang won't allow it."

"Yes. Master Wang won't let me tell you."

It was getting dark, and the soldiers set up their tents, and the neighbors finally dispersed.

Some families in Jiashe Village are declining day by day, while others are beginning to prosper, but on the surface, the night is still as peaceful as usual.

This season, when the sun rises above the horizon, the fields and hills are covered with rose colors.

Wu's tomb is in the first land reclaimed by the Wang family. The tenant farmers have been instructed to clean it frequently. The two willow trees are shaded, the ground is only weeds that have just sprouted, and the stele is quite clean.

Wang Dalang thought that he would be sad if he didn't come for a long time, but it was strange that when he put his hand on the stele and fumbled for the words "Lost Wife Wu", his whole body became transparent instantly.A Ge was right, Ah Wu passed away early, but he was actually the one who cared less, and he cared more.So she suffers less, doesn't know the pain of longing, doesn't know what it's like to be alone and dying, and doesn't have to feel sorry for his eyes that can no longer see.

Wang Ge told his deceased mother what he had seen and heard in Pingzhou. He was about to become a master craftsman, and he was not far from a master craftsman.Also, I will definitely take care of my family, be filial to my elders, and take care of my younger siblings.

Wang Peng said that the wheat seedlings he had planted were about to be harvested, and he asked his late mother to protect the harvest from rain.

Wang Yun recited a passage from the "Book of Filial Piety", saying that he knew that the opportunity to study was not easy, so he would work harder and help his brothers and sisters shoulder the burden of the family.

Wang Ai said that he could dress, comb his hair, feed chickens, ducks and geese, and pick up manure. He asked his dead mother to bless his eldest sister to hear this blessing... Can the two pigs brought back be slaughtered only one?
this kid!
Wang Ge hugged Wang Ai to the bowing position with a straight face: "There is no need to ask for this wish, I agree."

The end of worship.The children kneel in a row and vibrate to their dead mother.

Wang Ge and Wang Ai, with their left hands on top and their right hands on the bottom, struck each other up and down, and paused.

Wang Peng and Wang Yun, with their right hands on the outside and their left hands on the inside, struck back and forth, and nodded.

Beside the grave, the willow shoots are blown by the breeze. Perhaps this is because Wu's soul can't bear it and wants to wipe away the tears for his children.

The sun was shining on the road down the mountain, the wheels creaked, the three little ones gradually stopped sobbing, Wang Yun got on the horse again, Wang Peng felt sleepy, and fell asleep on his father's lap.

Wang Ge embraced Wang Ai and asked about important matters: "This year is the fourth year of reclaiming wasteland in Weiting. Has Mr. Cheng Ting said anything about how to divide the cultivated land?" The grain rent has to be paid in September, and the farmland reclaimed by Weiting is limited. Therefore, it is impossible for men to pay [-] mu and women to pay [-] mu, not to mention that men have to pay every second.

Wang Dalang: "The chief of the pavilion means that the number of acres of land for the first group of pavilion residents should be allocated first, and the next group of pavilion households can be postponed if the rent payment deadline is not reached. However, according to what your elder father said, many pavilion residents are not satisfied with this law. There are a lot of complaints, fearing that when it is their turn to pay the grain rent next year or the year after, what should we do if the number of fields is not enough? Who will help them make up the number?"

"Is there someone who climbed our house?"

How can there be no!Wang Dalang sighed.

Wang Ge has already done the calculations: "My eldest father is over 61, counting as a young man. Our family needs 110 mu of land. According to the reduction or exemption given by the government to the craftsman, our family has paid a total of 320 mu before the case in September. For each liter of grain, five qian, totaling more than [-] qian."

"You mean... buy new grain and pay rent?"

"Yes. When the reed pavilion was first built, building houses, digging wells, and providing food and clothing for the pavilion residents, everything was consumed by Mr. Huan himself, so he took care of our family, and the pavilion residents felt that it was unfair. Change the journey After the pavilion grows, Weiting is the same as other pavilions. There are so many people in our family, only the second uncle, second aunt and Apeng are farming, and other people don’t accept it as normal. And the second aunt is pregnant, so there is less labor.”

Wang Ai was in a hurry: "But, but the elder parents feed the pigs and sweep the horse pens, brother He Cong patrols the night and beats the watch, and sister Shu Cong weaves straw sandals every day. Aren't they all busy for the pavilion?"
