My live broadcast room communicates ancient and modern

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Laozhu, wearing a cotton hat, drove an ox cart to ten villages.

If we include our own village and Baijiazhuang, there are twelve villages that will be delivering food to the border this time.

And every time Liu Laozhu arrived at a village, Li Zheng from the local village soon went out to beat the gong.

What even the village leaders did not expect was that the villagers not only did not complain about this matter, but were also extremely cooperative beyond their expectations.

Like Sunjiazhuang.

Sun Lizheng had just finished asking each family to take out ten or twenty pounds of day lily to reward the army. The son-in-law of Erdaohe below thought to himself: Didn't he reveal that he had day lily? This morning he also saw Liu Lizheng from his wife's village. Here you go, it seems like you have done your part.

Erdaohe's son-in-law got excited and suddenly took the lead in shouting from below:

"Isn't it just some dry vegetables? Why do we have the nerve to reward the army in the name of our village, and then go to Erdao River to fish. Then who is rewarding it? Doesn't that mean taking advantage of Erdao River? It doesn't make sense!"

After shouting, his mother glared at him.

The meaning in the old lady's eyes is very clear, you are really a good aunt of Erdaohe.

But just after she finished glaring, before the old lady could scold her son for talking nonsense, the man behind her suddenly said loudly: "Our village can help with fishing, but our village cannot ask for other people's big fish!"

The old lady held back the words that came to her lips, feeling a little confused.

Even Sun Lizheng never expected that more and more people in the team would start to agree with this idea:

"That's right, ten or twenty pounds of dried wild vegetables, isn't that a big deal? Just think of it as we did more work last autumn.

Each of our families can eat less than two mouthfuls of food. That stuff shouldn’t make us hungry. What can we do if we eat less than two mouthfuls of food?

We, Zhuangzi, cannot have a good reputation, and we have to go back to Erdao River to get fish, and people poke our spines, saying that we are not sincere in giving gifts! "

This is what the elders say.

And the young and strong laborers said: "I am happy to give it to the Zhenbei New Army. Without the new high-ranking officials from the Zhenbei New Army, who finally treat us people as human beings, my family would not be able to put a fish on the New Year's Eve dinner." In the past, there were so many good rivers and rivers that we were not allowed to fish! We were taxed on everything we touched. I wish I could go up to the mountains to collect some firewood and collect taxes. Have you forgotten all these things? "

These words made waves: "No, they asked us all to go fishing in the unowned river. Who among us won't make a lot of money this year?"

Don't blame the common people for not knowing numbers. They know who is good and who is bad.

If it were the former Zhenbei Army, you would see if they would give you food.

If they were in office, their lines would be changed to: "You can't give food for free, don't say skip those two bites, you will starve to death if you skip one bite."

And this year, the New Town Beijun has allowed every family to earn some money for sewing, so they really don't mind the trouble and would rather take the trouble to collect fish from the people.

In order to collect it from the people, a lot of people have to be specially sent to guard it.

Even good town halls are made to look like shabby bazaars.

We ordinary people have lived here for decades, when did it seem like a joke to go to the town government office? This year, the threshold was almost broken.

Those serious government servants became hawkers to help weigh fish, and the boss became shopkeepers. They set up a small table outside and sat in the gazebo of the government office with their noses and faces swollen from the cold, often taking advantage of the opportunity to hand out ten or eight copper coins to the people. , can you reach out to warm yourself up to the fire.

Everyone sees this.

Therefore, since we have this opportunity, we can also warm the hearts of other soldiers, including the officials in the town office.

It's really warm. To be honest, it's better to combine the two in everything. What if the government comes up with some good policies this year?

"Li Zheng, just tell me when to hand it over, okay? Come on, let's go home and get the food."

Sun Li was holding out his hand: "...Huh?"

Why did he leave before he finished speaking?

When he got home, he was shocked when his wife tossed out four bags of day lilies:

"You are here to take the lead in giving more gifts. Isn't this much cheaper than giving gifts to Zhenting in previous years? To send gifts to Zhenting, even if Zhao Zhenting's reputation is better than the previous one, you can't get rid of this stuff. But it's not. Being able to leave a good impression on Lord Zhenting will really save you money this year."

Is she virtuous?

Sun Lizheng let out a long sigh, raised his eyebrows and said, "Xianhui."

……

Based on what the villagers in Sunjiazhuang said, the scenes in other villages are very different from those in Sunjiazhuang, and they all have similar ideas.

If there were any minor incidents, Xujiazhuang and Yujiazhuang were among the twelve villages.

Isn't that right? After Liu Laozhu and Xu Lizheng finished talking, Xu Lizheng opened an ancestral hall and summoned the men in charge of each family to talk about the matter, which was unanimously agreed by everyone.

What Xu Lizheng didn't know was that he ended the meeting immediately after convening it and was privately dismissed by the villagers.

Everyone said that a village with a common surname is obviously the same ancestor who broke the bones and connected the tendons. They should be the most united, but everything they do is not as good as the village with mixed surnames in Erdaohe. So what is the difference? The more I get to know Erdaohe and go to other people’s places to pay New Year’s greetings, the more I feel that something is wrong with my village.

Could it be that there are red lanterns in Erdao River but not in their village?

It wasn't a red lantern. Everyone looked at what Xu Lizheng was wearing. It was a decent and thick one. For a whole year, Xu Lizheng would just lean on the quilt and throw two peanuts into his mouth and drink some wine.

He also thought of Liu Laozhu, who was freezing this morning and drove the car alone: ​​"...It seems that the difference is that Liu Lizheng is working hard and running around without complaint. I heard that Zheng in Erdao River can do more work than a donkey."

But this person in their village is very lazy and does nothing.

Look, after everyone agreed, he turned around and went home, leaving his wife and fifth aunt to collect the vegetables.

The villagers of Xujiazhuang learned the truth. In fact, they just wanted to sit in a corner when the town pavilion meeting was being held in their village. It was best that no one could see him.

After Xu Lizheng informed everyone, he arranged for his wife and fifth aunt to collect dried radishes from various houses.

Xu Lizheng chose Fifth Aunt as a minor steward because she had a good relationship with Erdaohe's old Xu family. In case something goes wrong, his wife must take full responsibility and explain things unclearly.

Then when Xu Lizheng's wife and fifth aunt were collecting vegetables and taking them to Uncle Youyin's house, they happened to hear Gu Sufen scolding Hao Xianghua:

"Just watch, even if she's not here, my guess is definitely right. She is definitely involved in this, and that slutty bitch is obvious again!

She didn't stop even after the Chinese New Year. When her family made enough money every day to be able to afford it, she would ask everyone to donate food with just a flick of her fork.

If she stinks every day, she is not a good person. One day she will lie down on the kang and stop showing off. Besides, why should our family donate food? Our family is not like that girl's family who died on the battlefield, and I don't miss that place like her.

We have a book in our family, and we can’t conquer it. What does it have to do with our family whether the soldiers in the camp can eat or not? If you can't afford it, you have to go to the court, and you have to go to the high officials who are in charge of them.

They are not guarding the city gates for me. Whether they go hungry or not has nothing to do with our family. Who let them get their salaries? "

Coupled with the sound of Gu Sufen scolding and slamming the wooden basin, it was particularly harsh.

The fifth aunt thought she had moved quickly enough, but she didn't expect Xu Lizheng's wife to move faster than her. She kicked the door open and rushed in:

"Gu Sufen, I've been putting up with you for a long time. I've been putting up with you since Zhao Di got into trouble from your house. Today I have to beat you up. Can what you said be human? And the whole sentence "your family has it" If the book levy is not gone, your child will still be born with a child!

Besides, how do you think your family can become rich if they pay less for carrots? If you are such a piece of shit, should you be poor or poor? Yes, I will curse you, but you still dare to stare at me? ! "

After Li Zheng's wife finished speaking, she began to pinch her.

The fifth aunt immediately hit Gu Sufen on the back. She was an elder and didn’t believe that Gu Sufen dared to fight back:

"You black-hearted person, I asked you to curse the Chinese New Year. Without Erdaohe and your siblings, Zhaodi would have returned to the west a long time ago. Shut up, if you don't say anything, I also know what nonsense you are going to say, no Is it okay if Zhaodi dies or not? I finally understand. It doesn’t matter who you are in your eyes. They all deserve to die. They all owe you and they should all deserve their share. So I don’t think you want to say anything like this. Say no. If you say something unkind, let alone the word "human", I will tear it to pieces for you!"

Uncle Xu hurriedly stepped forward to break up the argument, and he really didn't dare to say anything in favor of Gu Sufen today.

Because once Li Zheng's wife and fifth aunt spread this word, even though their son did not go to the battlefield, ninety-nine of the one hundred households in the village would have had sons who went to the battlefield, and they all died and never came back.

If everyone hears about it, their family will become a public enemy.

Uncle Xu pulled away Li Zheng's wife and fifth aunt, and slapped Gu Sufen in person.

The beating stunned Gu Sufen, she covered her face and staggered two steps to sit on the kang.

Uncle Xu scolded Gu Sufen and said, "You're a fool, aren't you? You're such a bitch, you always have a sharp tongue, but you don't think so in your heart. Why are you always careless? No matter how poor your family is, how can you still lack food?" Most of the good things turn into bad things because of your bad mouth. This time, others will pay you ten or twenty pounds of dried radish, and we will pay you thirty pounds so that you can remember it!"

Turning around, Uncle Xu personally went to find thirty kilograms of dried radish and handed it over. It was just a lot more, and he wanted to apologize to his fifth aunt and his wife Li Zheng.

Because once word spreads, his family is not just a public enemy of the villagers. They dare to talk about the border army behind their backs, and even the court will pay attention to it. They will not lose their heads for the mistakes they make on the surface, but secretly, they do not want to live. ?

Uncle Xu looked depressed, his eyes suddenly turned red and he said:

"...Fifth Aunt, my surname is also Xu. If any treacherous words are spread, how can we be together in Xujiazhuang and Zhuangzhuang if we are all relatives? And sister-in-law Lizheng, I can't apologize on her behalf. After that I have designated You Shu Niang to be beaten again, and I am determined to teach her a lesson. If she doesn’t change, I will divorce her and return to her parents’ home, and we will definitely not implicate our village!"

That loudmouth, to be honest, even slapped Li Zheng's wife and fifth aunt in a daze.

Women are beaten and beaten, but how can a man slap her so harshly?

What's more, what he said next is right. They are all surnamed Xu. They are ordinary people who don't understand the law, but they always heard that no matter what mistakes they make, the court likes to arrest many families to sit together.

The fifth aunt snorted angrily and said: "You should take care of her, this is true! I think your daughter-in-law, it's not something that can be solved by a goddess. She's not attracted to anything, she is a core." It’s rotten.”

Also for the sake of the old lady, the fifth aunt took the lead and left Uncle Xu's house with dried radish.

Xu Lizheng's wife angrily put down her rolled-up sleeves and glared at Gu Sufen before leaving.

What will happen to Uncle Xu’s family after that is unknown to outsiders.

But when Lizheng's wife came home, she was criticized by Xu Lizheng: "I asked you to go out to collect vegetables, but you can also fight with others? You are really good at it."

"What's wrong with me? I've been putting up with Gu Sufen for a long time. If it weren't for the bad things in her family, how could you fall to the ground? Even now, you don't dare to sit cross-legged on the kang. Neither of us has had that kind of thing in many days. ?!" It was useless in the first place.

These tiger girls have grandchildren, daughters, and sons. They are old women and they still worry about that. How can they be so greedy? Xu Lizheng's face turned red with embarrassment: "Keep your voice down!"

……

As for Yu Qiniang's natal village, the episode that happened was slightly different from Xujiazhuang.

In Yujiazhuang, he was holding up a sample of the anklets wrapped with jade grass. Before he could finish speaking, he unexpectedly burst into tears.

And it was Xiaoqin’s aunt who took the lead initially.

Because Aunt Yu heard that she was going to give gifts to ordinary soldiers on the border, she was stunned for a moment. It was for ordinary soldiers, not for officials, and it was not for superficial purposes. Then he suddenly said loudly: "If anyone doesn't have any money, go to my house to get it. My family doesn't make twenty pairs. Fifteen years ago, I could make at least sixty pairs by myself."

The reason why the eldest uncle of the Yu family had so much jaundice was because she wanted to sell it to the Xu family shop in Erdaohe.

Unexpectedly, the third brother and sister would rather take the neighbors and send them there instead of taking her with them. This made her very angry. The eldest uncle has never thought about herself, whether she has treated her younger siblings like a neighbor over the years.

Therefore, it was very unusual for the eldest aunt to suddenly behave like this, which made Yu Qiniang's mother, Mrs. Lin, look sideways at her sister-in-law.

Not only Mrs. Lin in the village knew her sister-in-law, many people also knew her character.

Some people are just slightly puzzled.

But some women couldn't help but joked: "Hey, this doesn't look like you. Let me see if the sun is coming out in the west today. Tsk, tsk, you have to tell everyone why, otherwise We really don’t dare to take advantage of your family.”

Just when everyone thought Aunt Yu would not answer, and Uncle Yu glared at his old wife who was in the limelight, Aunt Yu suddenly said with a crying voice: "Because on the night of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, I dreamed about my second child. He said, Mom, there’s not even a grave, I’m cold, woo woo woo…”

In front of the family ancestral hall, the entire audience fell into silence.

Uncle Yu's second son was drafted away by the army and did not come back.

Tian's son-in-law came to pick up Xiaoqin's mother, Lin, to catch chickens and ducks. It was at this time that Tian's son-in-law drove there.

Then he heard his old mother-in-law crying and said: "So I'll give it to that other side. I can give whatever you want. I just ask the soldiers to guard the city gates themselves. Don't take me away again when there's not enough people." Which son? I already lost a second child, woo woo woo..."

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, many women in Yujiazhuang collectively covered their faces and started crying.

Mrs. Lin wiped away her tears, patted her aunt on the arm and said, "Sister-in-law, stop crying, I understand."

"You know what? Your second child will be young when the time comes for the conscription, so your family Dali doesn't need to go."

Tian's son-in-law looked embarrassed and hurriedly bowed to Mr. Lin, but his mother-in-law got angry at the third aunt again. This was a habit of bullying. But he didn't want to talk about his mother-in-law.

Mrs. Lin also sincerely didn't take it seriously this time, so she asked her sister-in-law to make sixty pairs for ordinary soldiers on the border.
