Chapter 19: The Newcomer
Ye Zi asked his mother, "Why did my grandfather agree to my mother marrying my father?" ”
Ye Zi's mother, Qing'er, smiled and said to her daughter, "Your grandfather dares to disagree. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Then he slowly recalled: The **** father was stupid, only to kowtow bang bang, and his mother was moved to death, but your grandfather didn't agree with your father to take your mother, at this time, your grandmother spoke and said, "Xiao Nia, this young man is a little older than our Qing'er, but our Qing'er is not young, a few years ago, let's find her so much, she didn't agree, but now it's good, but she has become a leftover girl, finally Nia This child is willing to marry Qing'er, it's better to make Qing'er promise, moreover, When will Qing'er wait, we are not young anymore, we can't rely on us for a lifetime! Don't look at this child, although he shuddered a little, but he is very reliable, let's not talk about anything else, just kowtow, you can see his sincerity! ”
The old pedant frowned and said: "In the woman's opinion, this marriage pays attention to the right family, this Xiao Nia's family situation is not known, how can you casually promise someone to your daughter, and Xiao Nia is not a local, you tell me how to rest assured, the problem is that we only have such a baby daughter, you are reluctant to give me, I still want someone to wear linen and filial piety in a hundred years!" You can also see the crux of the problem, our daughter is too weird compared to other families, she just refuses to marry! It's that I really promised, but can they be happy! The age difference between the two is six or seven years old, and the concept has been wrong for several generations, that is, they came together on impulse, if there is trouble in the future, how can our daughter still have a foothold, I absolutely disagree, for the happiness of our daughter, but also for the stability of our old couple, I don't allow. ”
Qing'er's mother sighed and said, "Why are you so stubborn, how can you just have a tendon?" Just from the days that this child lives in our family, he is polite and peachy to people, as for the family situation, where do you need to pay such attention, what age is it now, where to live, where is home, is it not okay to let him live here after marriage. ”
The old couple came and went, but they couldn't get into a dispute, and they were helpless, and finally reached a consensus, or let Qing'er decide for herself.
It's just that now where can I still see Qing'er's shadow, where is our Qing'er girl, of course, it's the big brother who takes care of her, I see that she is so busy and unhappy, looking for a wet cloth to wipe her face for a while, and fetching water for a while, thinking that she has never taken care of anyone, and she has not served her well, but she is tired and sweaty.
It's just that of course he didn't know, the old pedant and his wife happened to pass by the window of the house, and they just happened to see this scene, Qing'er's mother just smiled, and the old pedant didn't laugh, but just sighed: "The female eldest really didn't stay!" ”
Later, the old scholar asked if his daughter would like to marry Xiao Ya, and Qing'er just nodded shyly.
The old pedant saw that he really agreed, but he was still not at ease, and said seriously: "I agree!" ”
The Qing'er girl just opened her eyes and stared, and lay down beside Xiao Nia, and fainted with only one sentence in her heart, "I fainted".
The old scholar and his wife were anxious at that time, and the two said together: "Agree, don't you agree!" ”
The next thing is that Xiao Nia just woke up and got a good daughter-in-law.
Not to mention the joy of this family of three, but said that the village ushered in some new people.
Why do new people come to the village? Here I have to talk about the reason.
Like the Shawnia family, it is common to move from place to place, and of course, this village is no exception.
There are often people moving out and incoming in the village, and most of the people who move out are accumulating money in the village, and they want to go to the big town to find other things.
Because of the outbreak of floods in various places from time to time, some people who cannot live have to go out to earn a living, or villages, or towns, are overcrowded for a while, but whenever such a situation occurs, the government will definitely introduce some policies, even if some policies are introduced, they can only solve the problem of livelihood for some of the affected people.
The rest of the part needs to be solved in this era, and in order to stabilize the stability of the village, and in order to pay the taxes needed for the government, it is necessary to ensure that the population of the village is constant, so it often goes out to absorb some of the population vacated by moving out.
The government takes the cultivated land of the village and pays a certain percentage of the tax, or grain or hinge coins can be used as a tax.
However, the population absorbed shall not be more than one percent of the population of the village, and the population limit of absorption is also more than that, such as this weak and sick, too strong and domineering will not be accepted, and the elderly, children, and women will not be accepted, but there are exceptions, if the ratio of men and women in the village is seriously imbalanced, the village must also accommodate some women for the stability of the village, but only for women who are willing to marry the men of the village, if this is a woman who has mastered a skill, it is a different matter.
Most of the people absorbed by the village are strong and excellent, but where are the remaining old people, children and women, most of them just die, that is, they are lucky to survive, and they live an inhuman life.
The people who are recruited will first provide them with free daily necessities and shelter for one year, and then they will be allocated a piece of land at a designated location in the village to work and harvest until they can live independently, and if their lives are good enough, they can hand over a part of the money in the village assembly to apply to officially become a member of the village.
Reality is cruel, survival is cruel, everything is cruel, how do we choose, or die, or live, but as a creature, survival has become our instinct, we will not give up, will not ......, no matter how many generations of human reproduction, is a creature will not give up the instinct to survive, although it is numb to live all day, but only when you live can you have hope, and there will be hope when you live.
In the past few days, Mangzi and the others have nothing to do, just because the adults think that they are about to enter the school, so they simply let go of their temperament and let them have a good time.
If it's just an adult, they feel bored, they won't go to watch, a few children come alone, they come to the fun, go to know one or two, but the child doesn't like to talk much, and also shows a certain amount of bad come, a few people are depressed for a while, they don't care, just play together.
Blair went home and asked about his parents, but his father, Sun Houren, just said sullenly to his youngest son: "You must be bullying others!" Otherwise, why don't people ignore you! He laughed and said, "Either you're too fat, and people don't want to be friends with you." ”
If he asked Blair Edward and others about his parents, he would naturally be puzzled, but Bryer's father knew better.
On that day, the village chief led Sun Houren and some other strong men in the village to Wuhe Town to absorb some people, and this child and his father were one of them.
It's just that this father and son are a bit special, they were brought back from the town's prison office, but the village generally never accepts the person who commits the crime, but the child's father has the skills that the village needs, so he must bring it back.
Ransom these two people, but also spent a lot of effort on the village chief, even if the coin was not spent, although the village chief spent the coins, I don't know if it can work on the affairs of the village.
The other few people who were selected were plain, but one person couldn't afford to pay the guarantee, but he took out an important thing as collateral, although the value was poor, but compared to the solid and honest life of his life, he also chose.
If this honest and upright person only lives in the village for a short time and has important things to leave, then no one will bear the losses caused by this person, so this is also a necessary guarantee to reduce the loss of the village.
However, most of this deposit is returned after it is really able to live independently, and if it does something harmful to the village, it can naturally use its existing finances to compensate for it, and if it really causes the loss of the village, it is naturally half a hinge coin.
