Steamed buns, go farming with your mother

Chapter 106
"Yeah, it's already late autumn, and the weather is still so hot. I heard that the flood disaster in the south is getting worse, and in the north, a large area of ​​land has lost crops due to drought this year. Only our place is better this year. Alas, it's also a little bit better." I don't know how many people will starve to death this year..." Zhu Dahan's mother sighed, with a sense of compassion.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang also felt that this year was not going to be very easy. Thinking of the hard life outside, she also felt a little sad: "Yes, I am afraid that many people will die this year!"

For a moment, the air in the courtyard felt very oppressive.

The leeks and bitter gourds who were playing happily on the side didn't feel the adults' sympathy and compassion for the people outside at all.

"Oh, that's right!" Xu felt that the atmosphere was not very good, and the aunt of the Zhu family talked about another thing: "This morning, the village was beating gongs and drums, do you know what it is?" Zhu Dahan's mother said She didn't go out to watch the fun at that time, but the Zhang family's sister-in-law was a dick. She took Wen's and sister-in-law Zhu to watch the fun, and when she came back, she told Zhu Dahan's mother vividly.

After bringing Zhu Dahan's mother a cup of tea, Mrs. Wang sat on the small stool again, rubbing the quilt cover: "I heard a little movement vaguely, but I don't know what happened... What's the excitement? Did you miss it?" Wang asked.

"You don't know, this morning, the housekeeper brought back by Wang Song told the villagers with drums and gongs that he wanted to buy the half of the fields in Nancun. If there is land there, he would sell it for five cents per mu. He looked like he had to sell it or not. Although the villagers refused under the leadership of Wu Sangou at that time, we all knew Wang Song's temperament and provoked him. It must be revenge and complaints, I am worried that he will think of some vicious ideas afterwards to take revenge on everyone..."

Wang frowned and asked, "Didn't the Wang clan restrain him and allow him to behave like this? I remember that Nancun also has a lot of land in Nancun!"

"They..." Zhu Dahan's mother's voice was still so gentle, and she said, "It seems that they have promised to give him those fields. I didn't hear how much money is given per mu of land..."

"How could this happen?" Wang was very puzzled. What kind of temperament are the members of the Wang clan? She has lived here for so many years, and she knows very well that they don't give up all their paddy fields, but their rice is short. One grain would make a fuss, so how could she easily agree to give up her family's field to Wang Song? She remembered that when Wang Song was the village head, he did not do anything to the Wang family.

"I heard that Wang Song promised that if the Wang family gave up the land, he would pay for the construction of a Wang family ancestral hall in the village to worship the Wang family ancestors, and also promised to build a school in the village. , you can go to the school to go to school..."

As soon as the Wang family heard it, they understood why the Wang family agreed to Wang Song. The Wang family had lived in Teshuibu for nearly a hundred years, but they had never had their own ancestral hall. A promising person who can read and write is the lifelong expectation of the farmers.

"Then what about people with foreign surnames, Wang Song didn't agree to any conditions for people with other surnames?" Wang asked while rubbing the quilt.

"No!" Zhu Dahan's mother shook her head and said, "I only said to buy it at five cents per mu. The five cents price is really too low!"

"I remember that your family has eight acres of land in Zaonan Village, right?" Wang asked.

"Yes! I thought about it, and I didn't want to confront Wang Song. His kind of person, his mind is something we farmers can't figure out. We always suffer when dealing with him, so I decided to give him the land. , but the price of five cents is too low for people to accept, and outside, one mu of good farmland must cost eight taels of silver!" Aunt Zhu's family said tangled.

Mrs. Wang frowned, feeling that Aunt Zhu's idea was not advisable, she persuaded: "It's not worth buying the land for five cents, you might as well not buy it, or don't be so anxious, just wait and see. Let's see what other people will do. Wang Song shouldn't deal with the villagers so quickly!"

"When will your family's He'er come back? If she comes back, there should be a way. It was He'er who pulled Wang Song down from the position of village head of Tshuibu before!" Aunt Zhu's voice was very regretful: " By the way, does your family have land in Nancun? I remember it before!"

When Mrs. Wang heard the question from Aunt Zhu's family, there was a faint memory between her brows. She said, "I have already sold the land in our family. I had it before..."

Seeing Wang's appearance, Zhu Dahan's mother was very annoyed, she shouldn't have asked: "I'm sorry, I... I seem to have said something I shouldn't have said!"

"It's okay! It's been so long, I've already let go of it, and I don't regret it!" Wang's tone became lighter, and there was no difference in his expression.

Aunt Zhu's family breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister Wang, are you home?" Aunt Pan's voice came from outside the door.

Mrs. Wang and Aunt Zhu's family looked at each other, Mrs. Wang stood up and opened the door.

Leek and Bitter Gourd also stared at the yard door curiously, knowing that someone had come to the house again, but they didn't care too much.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here..." Wang asked.

"And me!" Aunt Qian looked mischievous, and she also came with Wang Shi,

"Grandma Wang, and me, brother Chive, is there? Why didn't you come to play with me today? I've been waiting for a long time, and when grandma came, I made a noise to come together. Grandma Wang, where is brother Chive?" It was Pan Min'er.

"Hey, sister Min'er, why are you here? My grandma won't let me go out today..." Leek ran out when she heard Pan Min'er's voice, and complained to Pan Min'er in a very aggrieved tone. There were still grains of yellow sand on it, and he called out, "Sister Min'er..."

Bitter Melon is three months older than Pan Min'er.

"Big Brother Bitter Gourd is here too!" Pan Min'er didn't wait for Mrs. Wang to say anything, she took Leek and Bitter Gourd by the hand, and entered the yard.

Wang Shi, Aunt Pan, and Aunt Qian all laughed, looking at these innocent children.

"Why is the little bitter gourd here?" Pan's aunt Wang asked.

Mrs. Wang invited the two of them into the house and said, "He came with his grandma!"

"Dahan's mother is here too?" Aunt Qian's voice was a little surprised, she was not very familiar with Zhu Dahan's mother, so she was a little surprised that she was here.

"Well, recently I often go back to their house to sit and sit, because their relatives came to their house, and He'er said that she would come to our house to play in the future." Wang explained, not saying much about Zhang's situation, but treading water The port is very small, and she believes that Aunt Pan and Aunt Qian know about the situation of the Zhang family.

Everyone in the village knows the situation of Zhu's family. However, Zhu Dahan's father passed away in the past two years. Much better than Suho's.

Zhu Dahan's mother heard the movement, stood up, greeted Aunt Pan and Aunt Qian, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to come here too!"

"Yeah, we didn't expect you to be here!" Aunt Pan said with a smile, found a stool, and sat next to the bamboo chair.

Seeing Mrs. Wang entering the room, Aunt Qian smiled and said, "Sister Wang, please sit down, we are not guests anymore, we can do it ourselves if there is anything to do!" Then she asked: "Sister Wang, how about you?" What do you want to drink? The mint tea made by Heer?"

"Okay!" Aunt Pan nodded.

Aunt Qian entered the kitchen, and Mrs. Wang sat down on the stool again, continuing to rub her quilt.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here? It's a hot day..." Wang said.

"Where's He'er? You haven't come back yet?" Aunt Pan asked.

"Sister-in-law is also here because of what Wang Song said today?" Mrs. Wang raised her head, "He'er hasn't come back yet, I guess I should arrive home when the sun goes down!"

"Yes, I didn't expect Wang Song to make such a fuss in the village just after he came back, and I don't know what capital he has to make such a fuss!" Aunt Qian took Wang's words with the teapot, got a cup for Aunt Pan, and said: " Hey, this is your mint tea. It’s really enjoyable to drink mint tea in this weather. It’s so strange. We also have a kind of mint at home now, and the mint has taught us, but the mint tea we make is made without the mint. It's delicious..."

"That's right, what He'er made is delicious!" Aunt Pan also said with emotion.

"That... Big sister, what do you think about this matter? After all, compared with us, you have been out for a few years and have more knowledge than us..." Aunt Pan said: "We came here today because of this matter , I hope to hear your opinion, of course, He'er's suggestion is better!" She said straight to the point.

Wang's temperament has always been straightforward, and she will say what she has.

"I don't have any good suggestions!" Mrs. Wang thought for a while, "However, I don't want you to give up the land in your family. Without those lands, no one's life will be easy..."

"I know!" Aunt Pan sighed, and said, "Although the one from our family is now the head of the village, when it comes to plotting tricks and tricks, our one can't catch up with flattery. Moreover, Wang Song really It's too vicious!"

"Yes!" Aunt Qian also agreed: "I don't know what kind of life Wang Song lived outside. People of the older generation said that he was very obedient when he was young. I didn't expect to go out. He became very vicious and greedy for money, he should be able to poison, and I don't know where he learned it from..."

"He can poison? How come no one has ever said that?" Wang was very surprised, she had never heard of this.

"It is said that someone has seen it, and not long after saying this, that person died!" Aunt Qian said, "I remember that person's name is Wang Meng..."

Wang Shi, Wang Shi, and Zhu Dahan's mother all know this person. No one believed him when he said that Wang Song poisoned and killed people. After a while, he died. No one knows how he died. Yes, when he died, there were only bones left in his body, and the state of death was terrible.
