In the end, it is not a relative in the real sense, Qiao Lan has been very calm along the way, that is, because of her calmness, it is not like she wants to come back to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors, and her uncle is inevitably a little puzzled in his heart.

Then, suddenly, Qiao Lan's tears fell.

She didn't have much feeling in her heart, but in the face of the tears of the two old people, she thought of her grandfather, and by the way, she also remembered her father, who lost her trace in the troubled times, and they would be as sad and sad as these two old people...... Is there such a person who takes my place to appease them......

Qiao Lan didn't cry, just tears, tears kept flowing down her cheeks, and she couldn't hold it back.

In the past few months by Qiao Lan's side, Ye Feitian has seen Qiao Lan with wisdom beyond her age, calm and calm, where has he seen such a sad master, he can see that the master is really sad, by no means pretending, he hurriedly handed over the handkerchief that he had not used when he was leaving, "Master, don't be sentimental." ”

Qiao Lan also realized that she was out of control, took the handkerchief and wiped her cheeks gently, "I'm sorry, I'm out of shape......"

Compared with crying, it is even more pitiful that she "pretends to be strong" like this.

The uncles were also teary-eyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort, "Brother Yi, people can't be resurrected after death, don't be sad." "Fortunately, there are still you, your lord's lineage, it depends on you......" "You still have these uncles and uncles outside, and there are aunts, brothers and sisters outside, ......"

Hearing these comforting words, the sadness in Qiao Lan's heart instantly disappeared: Don't ...... Don't rely on me......

She comforted herself: It's okay. This is called a white lie, besides, I just borrowed the platform of the Qiao clan to make a name, and I will also do a lot of practical things for the Qiao clan, no one suffers, hello, hello, everyone......

A lie needs to be fulfilled with a hundred lies! Qiao Lan has a lot of concern, and has already begun to think about how she can come back if she wears a gang in the future.

There are a total of four brothers in the Qiao family, and the youngest Qiao Jinfeng is sparse. Only gave birth to Qiao Yuanlu. And Qiao Yuanlu lived a son, Qiao Chongjun. After Qiao Chongjun and Qiao Yuanlu died one after another, the Qiao clan was thinking about passing a child to Qiao Chongjun or Qiao Yuanlu's name to renew the incense for Qiao Jinfeng, which was a coincidence. The news that Qiao Yuanlu also had a son who was left behind came out.

Qiao Yuanlu did do business for a few years more than ten years ago. It is not impossible that there is a seed left. Although this matter is still up for debate. But because it was in the hands of the Qiao clan, he couldn't take care of it so much.

The two old men are past their old age, and their physical condition is not very good. Just now, this excitement was a little unbearable, and people were helped to rest. The matter of "Qiao Yi's" recognition of his ancestors and his return to his ancestors was handed over to the seven distant generations who were still alive, but it was mainly handled by Qiao Yuancheng, the current patriarch.

"Qiao Yi"'s donation of sacrificial fields will also be recorded when it is entered into the family tree, and it will be a certainty when it is written.

Qiao Yuancheng called Qiao Lan aside and asked in a low voice, "Brother Yi'er, once this matter of sacrificing fields is written into the genealogy, it cannot be reversed. The hall uncle doesn't know what your specific situation is, so he wants to tell you the truth, whether the donation of sacrificial fields is reluctant. "No wonder Qiao Yuancheng is confused, Qiao Lan has fine skin and tender flesh, and he also brought an entourage, but he was dressed so plainly, he spontaneously made up for the tragedy of a family downfall.

Although she knew that the other party had misunderstood, Qiao Lan was inevitably moved: This person is too simple.

Qiao Lan's heart was unexpectedly touched, and he couldn't reply immediately, which made Qiao Yuancheng think that he had guessed correctly, and he sighed secretly in his heart: Hey, this kid is really holding on.

"Brother Yi'er doesn't have to be reluctant to be alone, our Qiao family will never accept the benefits to recognize the reason for returning to the ancestors. Your intentions are good, and Uncle Hall has received it on behalf of the entire clan. Forget about the donation of sacrificial fields, and few people know about it now. You can take this title deed. Take care of it, life will get better, no matter how bad it is, there are still so many uncles and uncles here, you won't be missing a bite to eat. ”

Qiao Lan pushed back the title deed that Qiao Yuanlu handed to her, "Uncle Hall, I have a sense of proportion in this matter, you don't have to worry about me at all." I'm not the one who wants to save face, so I won't do it if I slap a swollen face and become fat. ”

"That ......" Qiao Yuancheng took the title deed, and he didn't accept it, and he didn't accept it, so he was in a dilemma for a while.

"In addition to the matter of sacrificing the fields, I also have a matter to discuss with your uncles. ”

"Ahh ”

The others had already sat down, and Qiao Yuancheng took Qiao Lan over and sat down.

Ye Feitian was originally behind Qiao Lan, but the Qiao clan was discussing things, how could they allow an outsider to be present, let alone a subordinate.

Qiao Yuancheng mentioned it euphemistically, and Ye Feitian left the hall under Qiao Lan's signal, but he didn't go far, but stayed at the door. Qiao Lan radiated her spiritual power, swept the neighborhood, and then found a cat-like figure in the tree in the courtyard outside, which was about Feng Er.

The idlers left, Qiao Yuancheng hesitated, and still told Qiao Yi about donating thirty acres of sacrificial land.

The people present said that they all knew that "Qiao Yi" wanted to donate the sacrificial field, but they didn't know how much they would donate. Donating 30 acres of sacrificial land at once, what a big deal this is. Now there are a total of 260 acres of land owned by the entire Qiao clan, and most of the clansmen live by renting other people's fields, and the existing sacrificial fields of the clan are only 18 acres.

Several uncles expressed all kinds of gratitude and praise to Qiao Lan......

"Uncles, you don't need to be polite, this is what I should do. ”

Qiao Lan appropriately showed the shyness that a teenager should have. Her humility and politeness made the impression of a cadre and others instantly skyrocket to the fullest.

Qiao Yuancheng nodded, he stroked his gray beard, "Brother Yi'er, didn't you say that there are other things to discuss with everyone?"

"That's right, I want to help the clan run a school. ”

"Oh! Several uncles were shocked again, "Brother Yi'er, what you said is true?"

"I also want to do my part for the Qiao clan. The kid is not talented, but he still has some family wealth and wants to run a school for the clan, hoping that Qiao's children who want to be literate can read and write, and talented children can go to scientific examinations. Qiao Lan also said some important things about running a school, and her words made the blood of those present boil.

The Qiao clan is too poor, and they generally can't even eat, so how can they send their babies to school.

"I heard that in the college exam last month, someone in the clan was admitted to Xiucai. ”

"Ah yes!" Qiao Yuancheng was still excited about what Qiao Lan had just said, and when he heard the word Xiucai, he became even more excited for a while, "Brother Rui, this kid, is smart, the clan made up some silver taels and sent him to the school in Changzhou City." He is also angry, no, he was admitted to Xiucai in the first exam, and he still ranked third in Changzhou City. ”

"It's going to be a local test next month, and he's ready. "If you take the township test this time, you will be able to participate in the spring festival next year.

"Uh......" The others looked at each other. Qiao Yuancheng said embarrassedly, "There is no more strength left in the clan." ”

The township test and the hospital test are a watershed, and the cost is also higher, besides, the students in Changzhou City want to take the township test, and they have to go to Tongzhou, which costs ......

Qiao Yuancheng realized that Qiao Lan was not as "simple" as he looked, but he couldn't ask him to take the initiative to ask Qiao Lan to donate Qiao Chongrui. He still had a trace of expectation in his heart, since "Qiao Yi" took the initiative to mention it, did it mean that "he" had that meaning? It's just that he didn't dare to think about it, after all, Qiao Lan had already done so much for the clan.

"Can I see him?"

"He may have gone up to the mountain to fetch firewood! Twelfth brother, you let Brother Guang'er go and find it. ”

"Eh!" a man in his forties got up and went out.

Qiao Yuancheng rubbed for a while, and decided to help Qiao Chongrui say a few good words, and strive to fight for it, "Brother Rui is indeed a rare good boy." ”

Qiao Chongrui is Qiao Linfeng's grandson, his father is dead, he has a sister who marries far away, and there is a younger sister below. Qiao Chongrui has been smart since he was a child, and followed an old Xiucai to learn the three-character scripture and the surname of the hundred families, and then the thousand-character text was not learned, and the old Xiucai died, and he walked to the school in Changzhou City as soon as he was free, and eavesdropped on Mr. Lecturing.

The Qiao clan couldn't bear to bury his talent, so they gritted their teeth and scraped together money to send him to school. Qiao Chongrui is talented, intelligent, diligent, and a person who knows how to cherish and be grateful......

After listening to Qiao Yuanlu's words, Qiao Lan had a general impression of Qiao Chongrui, but she was not such a blind follower, so she still had to look at people.

Before anyone came to find her, Qiao Lan talked to the uncle who was present about the school. It is about to find a house in Dongshan Village, buy some desks, books and four treasures of the study, and hire a gentleman. The school in Dongshan Village is just enlightenment, and children with good conduct and excellent schoolwork can go to Changzhou City to study, and she comes to give the shackles, and she also gives the cost of the scientific examination......

"But it's only two times, that is to say, you fail the list twice, and you will take the exam again in the future, at your own expense. For those who have repeatedly failed, Qiao Lan feels that she has an obligation to help them break off the idea of scientific research......

Qiao Yuancheng and they didn't know how to feel anymore, this surprise was too big, they were completely confused: literacy, going to school, scientific research...... Really, isn't it a dream, Qiao's children can also do such extravagant things?

Qiao Lan said almost this here, and Qiao Chongrui over there learned that the patriarch had something to look for him, and was about to collect the firewood and tie it up and be taken back.

Qiao Chongguang, who called the person, took his hand and pulled him back, "What do you care about this, my father said it, 100,000 is urgent, and the fire burns his eyebrows." ”

Qiao Chongrui turned his head and pointed to the firewood knife next to the scattered firewood, "Knife! knife!"

Qiao Chongguang looked back, hey, you don't need firewood, you can't lose the knife, you need two hundred wen a handful. He let go of Qiao Chongrui and ran over a few steps to pick up the knife, and then turned around and dragged Qiao Chongrui down the mountain, as if there was a vicious wolf chasing after him.

Qiao Chongrui had no choice but to run along Qiao Chongguang's strength. (To be continued......)
