Pastoral affairs

When a group of people saw Cui Wei, they couldn't help but snorted coldly. Cui Jingzhong couldn't help showing a trace of disgust and disgust, as well as a trace of contempt. His face was gloomy, and his brows were full of disappointment. It looks like he has been selected as a scholar, Cui Jingzhong himself has some abilities, Yang knows very well, now that there is such a big battle, he doesn't know who to show it to!Cui Wei stood far away and didn't come over, she was going to wait for them to leave first, so as not to pluck the chicken feathers all over the floor again, Yang's lips moved, but she didn't speak, but Cui Jingzhong on the other end raised his head first and walked in front, Yang Shi quickly turned around and followed, Kong Shi, Wang Shi and others followed behind.

After these people left happily, Cui Wei walked towards her home with her things on her back. Cui Jingzhong is now studying in the county, and he can be regarded as a well-known figure in Xiaowan Village, except for Nie Qiuran, who is the most popular in the limelight. Besides, he was the only one left with a great reputation. After he came back, although everyone didn't know whether he was a scholar, but seeing the expressions on the faces of Mrs. Yang and others, many people still followed and surrounded him. Cui Wei watched the excitement at the door of Cui’s house. When Cui Wei walked by with her things on her back, the butcher Li’s family at the head of the village even pulled Cui Wei to chat with her. Cui Wei saw the inquiring look in her eyes, and she clearly wanted to inquire about news. Naturally, he dealt with it in a few words, and went back with his things on his back.

The Cui family next door was lively for a long time, in the afternoon I heard that the Cui family was going to set up a water mat, they were borrowing tables, Cui Jinghuai went to Butcher Li's place after noon, and asked him to come over to butcher the pigs.Now it's only September, and there are still two or three months before the Chinese New Year.In this way, the Cui family will soon kill the pig. What will they eat during the Chinese New Year?Could it be that Cui Jingzhong really won the talent, and the Cui family started to show off?Cui Wei secretly guessed in her heart that before making dinner, Cui Shifu came over.

Cui’s family’s pigs screamed so harshly that people couldn’t help but want to cover their ears. When Cui Shifu came over, Cui Wei had just lit the fire, and Cui Jingping was still milking the sheep. Cui Shifu picked some eggplants and green peppers and brought them to her.As soon as Cui Wei saw him.He hurriedly called Cui Shifu in, and said: "Father, you come and sit for a while. There is no need to carry these things. I want to eat and I know how to buy them. You still have a lot of money to spend." Why bother to send them over to me, why don’t you sell them all and subsidize the family.”

Now Cui Shifu and his son are equivalent to two people supporting seven people in the family, and they also have to support two additional Kong family mother and son. Even if Kong himself has a sense of propriety, he dare not make more money.But there is always food for two, and Cui Jingzhong is not a fuel-efficient lamp.The money he spent in a month was equivalent to a family of five in Xiaowan Village spending several months, so Cui Shifu was naturally under more pressure.

Now hearing that his daughter is caring for him, Cui Shifu couldn't help showing a smile on his face. It's only been a few years. He looks like he has aged a lot, and even his back is a little bent. I feel a little sour in my heart.He wasn't polite to Cui Wei either.As he entered the house, he said: "They are all small things, how can they sell for much? I know you have them, and you don't lack them, but after all, it's a little trick of mine. Dad has no skills, so he can only give you these things." It's gone." After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and touched Cui Wei's head, the callus on the palm of his hand was so thick that he could clearly feel it through the hair.While smiling at Cui Wei gently, he said with satisfaction: "Wei'er has grown taller, it just reached my chest when I saw it last time, I'm getting old!"

Staying up all day long, there is no one who is not old.Cui Wei felt sore in her heart, but managed to squeeze out a smile. While shaking her head at Cui Shifu, she greeted Cui Jingping outside to bring him a cup of goat milk.

"Father, you are not old. Now that the second brother is promising, you might as well stop farming and wait for him to support you. Anyway, the second brother has given you a lot of trouble over the years, and now it is time for him to repay you." when!"

Cui Shifu's face was still a little stiff when he heard Cui Wei asked his son to bring goat milk over, and just wanted to shake his head and say that he didn't want to drink anymore, but Cui Wei changed the subject when he turned around, how could he remember the goat milk just now? , immediately frowned, shook his head, and sighed: "What blessings do you enjoy? Your second brother said that he was a scholar and failed the exam, but his wife wrote to him, saying that he could give him In the county yamen, I found someone from Lao Shi Zi Dian Shi, who was in need of money now, and asked me to borrow five taels of silver when he came back, where could I find these five taels of silver? Sigh!" Cui Wei really didn't know about this matter, She originally thought that Cui Jingzhong was so beautiful this time because he was selected as a scholar, but unexpectedly, what Cui Shifu said was that Cui Shifu was not selected as a scholar at all.Cui Wei didn't expect this at first, she was stunned for a moment, but seeing Cui Shifu's frowning face, she didn't know how to comfort him, so she also fell silent.

"Why do I tell you these things, I just let you worry about it!" After Cui Shifu said this, he wiped his face, unable to hide the exhaustion in his expression.He had nowhere to complain, so he started talking with his daughter. As soon as the Yang family heard that Cui Jingzhong might become an official, he lost his head and came back happily, as if he had become an old man. Like a human being, she insisted on organizing a big event to make the villagers feel happy about her. In fact, it was because Mrs. Yang didn't look down on Mrs. Sun's beauty, so she made such a show on purpose, just to look at her on purpose.

And once everyone in the village heard that there was food, they all came to help, and they were kind, Cui Shifu was too embarrassed to stop him, so he had to watch helplessly as he called Cui Jinghuai to Butcher Li with a half smile , the smile on Yang’s face made Cui Shifu’s heart agitated. Cui Jingzhong spoke better than he sang. Even if he dismantled his old bone and sold it, there was no way to get it together, and Mrs. Yang only thought of the good, but no one thought of the bad, so where would he get the money?Cui Shifu was very depressed, and there were many people in his family, so he simply hid here with Cui Wei, looked at his daughter, said a few words to her, and said what was in his heart, and it really made him feel much more comfortable Now, even the stuffy chest is not as uncomfortable as before.

"Father, is the second brother planning to take the imperial examination? What's more, if you get all the money for him, what kind of history will he become? In the future, he will pay back the money he owes by himself, or let you help him together." Still?" Seeing Cui Shifu's appearance, Cui Wei calmly analyzed the stakes with him.Cui Shifu obviously hadn't thought about these questions before, and when Cui Wei asked him this question, he was stunned for a moment: "Could it be possible that he can help pay it back?"

Judging from what he said, it turned out that he was ready to help Cui Jingzhong borrow money to buy an official.Cui Wei couldn't help but smiled wryly, that official is not so easy to be, and the history of this book does not know what kind of official he is, but when she bought the land, she remembered hearing from the Song family of the Pan family that Mr. Pan sold the land. Land, originally wanted to donate an official body to his son, but he sold so much land and got more than 100 taels of silver. The official he bought in the end was just a ninth-rank sesame official. So he wanted to buy an official, which shows that he didn't know what kind of official he was.Cui Wei also sighed in her heart. She knew that Cui Shifu had a simple and honest temperament. Although he didn't talk much on the surface, in fact, he loved the children the most in his heart. It could be seen from herself and Cui Jingping that even though listening to him at this time He always scolds Cui Jingzhong, but when something happens, he supports and helps in every possible way, but I don't know if Cui Jingzhong can understand his fatherly heart in the end.

Five taels of silver is not much, if Cui Shifu can finally see clearly that Cui Jingzhong's heart is not worthy of his help, Cui Wei will understand him, and if Cui Shifu really has no choice in the end, it is not impossible for her to help Cui Shifu once.It's just that he didn't bring it up now, and it's not related to Cui Shifu himself. Naturally, Cui Wei couldn't take the initiative to bring up the matter of money. Being entangled is really annoying, so although I have an idea in my heart, I am calm on the surface, and instead follow Cui Shifu's words to persuade him: "Father, the bridge returns to the bridge, and the road returns to the road. You borrowed it for the second brother." If you buy an official with money, he will have a future in the future. If he earns more money, it's up to him to think of a way. Being an official is not as good as studying, and the salary is quite a lot. Didn't you hear that Mr. Pan sold the land? Do you also want to donate an official to your son, isn't it because being an official for a few years is much more cost-effective than the land?"

When Cui Wei said this, Cui Shifu was a little moved. He had actually made up his mind at first, but now he just heard what his daughter said, and his heart was more inclined to Cui Jingzhong's side, so he heard what she said. Reasonable, he nodded involuntarily.Cui Wei glanced at him, and then continued: "Father, how much money can you earn a year from farming? Even if the whole family does not eat or drink, it is only one or two taels of silver a year, and how is this possible? If you become an official, you will have a lot of monthly salary. If he pays it back, the money is just a loan for him to turn around. If you trust him and ask him to write a note, you can naturally consider it." Although Cui Shifu has already She made up her mind, but when Cui Wei said this, she still reminded him, but seeing his thoughtful expression, Cui Wei guessed that he didn't listen to it, so she sighed and didn't listen. No more persuasion. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.) ~
