Chapter 42: The Legend
By the time Dong Langzhong and Hua Lei took back the title deed stamped by the government from the yamen and took it home, it was already dark.
Wan Shi and Dong Niangzi were busy boiling hot water, and there were several pheasants and hares piled on the ground at the kitchen door. I understood that Huayun had entered the mountain again.
Dong Langzhong wondered, when people go to the mountains, they dig traps and traps, and they may not be able to catch one in seven or eight days. Why did Huayun come at her fingertips, as if the mountains were her captive land.
Hua Yuhua Bing went to the grocery store at the head of the village to drink wine and buy peanuts, and was asked this and that by the villagers along the way. Hua Yu smiled sweetly, anyone can say a few nice words, Hua Bing made a face and tried to learn the essence of Hua Yun. So many people were talking, and they didn't take out how much silver the Hua family got from the mouths of the two children.
It's amazing, Hua Changnian has four children. The eldest son, Hua Lei, has already begun to top the door, talking and acting like an adult. The eldest daughter Huayun is so strong, who dares to provoke it. The youngest daughter Hua Yu has a sweet mouth and a sweet face, and she can be close to anyone. The youngest son can't see anything yet, but his mouth is very tight, and it is a big thing.
It's hard to think about this one for a long time. Everyone has such a big piece of land.
"It's amazing, such a large piece of land, no less than a few hundred taels of silver. Dad, how much wealth did you say the eldest brother's family made? ”
Hua Changzong's words, that sour. No one in the room could smell it, because their own hearts were sour.
The old man was silent.
Li Shi screamed: "What big brother, it doesn't matter for a long time." Your eldest brother is lying in the house. ”
From the first division, the Li family immediately changed the ranking of the family. Hua Changguang is the eldest son, moving forward in turn, glorifying the ancestors, how auspicious.
Zhang said coldly on the side: "There is no such relationship, there is another layer, and they will be neighbors in the future." ”
Li glared: "You're in a hurry, aren't you?" Empty the pits and throw them into the field. ”
The wild land is no longer a wild land, it is a land where people spend their thoughts for a long time. Lee's disgusting man.
The old man shouted: "You don't do it, what do the people in the village think of you." ”
Zhang also said coldly: "Mother, you are really fair, can my family be separated from people?" Just command me one, what other room in the house is like my house and two can't go to the ground? ”
Li's wall, this thief mother-in-law, if you go back and tell Hua Changguang, her son will not have to leave her heart?
"Hurry up and go back and see Changguang, there are you everywhere, and the men haven't come out yet, what are you doing here? Go back and serve the man honestly. ”
Seeing that she was indirectly soft, Zhang stood up and walked out, giving Hua Xiang'er a look, asking her to listen carefully, and don't push any bad things to the head of the second room.
Liang also stood up, she had to go cook. Zhang's stopped doing things because of Hua Changguang, because of the words shouted by Wang, his heart responded, and he didn't have a good face in the room, and he was a little harder with Li. If the Li family doesn't drive her, who will support her? Therefore, the work at home was done by the Liang family, the Wang family, and the Fang family.
But the Wang man loved her, and while helping her do it, he complained in front of the Li family to please, although the Li family scolded the Wang family, but the Wang family was indeed a lot easier. As for the Fang family, the family is still counting on her talented father to help Hua Changzu improve, so naturally they can't do more. Even down, isn't it all Liang doing more?
While cutting vegetables, Liang pondered that he had to think of a way, he was so tired that he felt that he couldn't survive for a few days, and he didn't know how Wan survived before. If you want her to say, the Li family is full of food and support, why should the big house be driven out? A paralyzed man, maybe he will go someday, and there are still a few good laborers, why can't he make it? It's good now, but I still have to work hard to serve a large family.
Dong Langzhong's family, the village chief brought a few elderly people to the banquet, all of them were from various families, and the head of the Hua family was also there.
After a few glasses of wine, the patriarch of the flower blushed with a red face: "Changnian, your family is really up." Such a large piece of land, tsk, out of breath. Now it's time to get started. ”
Hua Changnian sat on the back of the high chair and said with a wry smile: "Yes, you have to afford a room." It's just that... It can only be a few simple rooms, and it can live in people. ”
"You have to buy land, right?"
Several of the old men pricked up their ears, curious about how much silver they had sold. The village chief is an old god, but Hua Lei's tears fell when he took out the silver in the yamen, and he already knew it in his heart. I'm afraid the Hua family has bottomed out.
Hua Changnian shook his head, three hundred and eighty taels, half of it was gone. I bought wild land, which is naturally cheap, but it is also two or two acres, that large area, fortunately, the village chief interceded, and the small hill was a lot cheaper.
Hua Changnian felt that this heart hurt even more than when he was smashed, and the pain was so painful that he couldn't forget it for the rest of his life.
"Don't think about it, my family doesn't have the labor to serve it anyway. I invite you elders to come today, and I have a reluctant invitation. ”
"You say."
"It's just about the house." Hua Changnian blushed: "I can't do anything." A few children are going to school in a few days, and there is no one in charge at home, so Dasheng can't help my family without seeing people. ”
Of course, otherwise, if someone is uncomfortable and can't find Langzhong, they will have to hate Hua Changnian to death.
"I also asked a few elders to help find a few people who can do things."
The village chief understood: "Do you want to contract out all the things that are going to be done to build the house?" ”
Hua Changnian sighed: "There's no way." If I could move, I would save a lot of wages. ”
A few people went to see Hua Lei, and they also thought that it was, even if Hua Lei was watching from the side, what could a child who was less than fifteen do?
The flower patriarch thought of something else: "How many children go to school?" Lei Zi also goes? Bing'er is also going? Are Yun'er and Yu'er going? ”
Don't think there's a good place to go?
Hua Changnian looked at the child on the other table, feeling guilty: "I only went to school for half a year, Leizi... I didn't go for a day, I only learned a few words from me. I'm guilty of being a father, now he is not big, he can still learn, I and the child's mother gritted our teeth and confessed, just recognize the whole word. Bing'er can't be delayed, although he is a year younger, he is sensible, and we can still worry about following his brother. Yu'er also went to study, read and write, and couldn't be bullied in the future. Please also ask the elders to speak well in front of the gentleman. ”
Of course, the flower patriarch and a few people nodded, who wants to offend people.
"What about Yun'er?"
Hua Changnian was entangled, can he tell the truth, Mr. can't teach?
Hua Yun himself explained: "I am protecting my father and mother at home. ”
A few people stopped talking, I don't know what to say, now there is a new legend in the village, a legend about two tigers and a sledgehammer, and the protagonist is the one in front of him.
Hua Lei said: "The eldest sister is smart, when we come back, she will be there." ”
Hehe, when they don't know that this one was stupid before?
"Ahem, that long thought, you mean to wrap up all the work, what about eating and drinking? It's also an expense. ”
Hua Changnian went to see Wan's: "Why is the child's mother busy?" Wrap them all out, go home and eat them yourself or find a few aunts to cook them. ”
Wan Shi blushed, she didn't say this before, she still planned to come by herself, and she was too busy to find someone to help.
A few people can see it clearly, this family is still willing to think for others, and the future days cannot be wrong.
The village chief said, "It's nothing. In this way, I'll let Dahe come and talk to you, he has a lot of houses, and I'll ask him to give you cheap materials, and you can save it, even if you cook and boil water, he will also find someone by himself. ”
Chen Dahe, the son of the village chief, is a foreman, and he is basically looking for him to build houses in the village, not to mention that there is a village chief behind him, there is nothing to say about the work, and the people are enthusiastic and real.
Hua Changnian immediately responded: "That's it, just thinking about troublesome Brother Dahe." ”
After thanking the village chief, Hua Changnian turned his head to Old Man Dong Qi again: "Old man, look at it, if I build a new house for my mother, what should I do?" ”
Old Man Dong Qi was stunned: "It depends on what pomp you want." ”
"My family bought a yard to build a house, and my mother also had to live in a new house with a big yard, so she had to clean it up decently. Otherwise, my heart will be troubled. ”
Is this going to be a yard? Old man Dong Qi thinks about it, this is also the reason, Hua Changnian is the first to enter the ancestral grave, and she must take the brunt of it.
"I'll go back and think about this, draw a sample, you like it, I'll find someone to pick it up, you don't have to worry about it."
From the coffin to the tombstone to the yard, the flowers and grass carvings in the yard, and even the birthday of the hand-made craftsman are all exquisite.
Of course, no matter how particular things are, it is okay to meet people who are not particular. Who would put so much effort into the farmer's family. That is, there were so many mysterious things before, and everyone here felt that it should be so, otherwise they would all think that it would take a long time.
Old man Dong Qi pondered for a night, used up half of his ink, and rolled up the picture and went to Dong Langzhong's house the next day. It is said that when Hua Changnian's family came to beg him, first, Hua Changnian couldn't move, and Hua Lei couldn't tell clearly, and secondly, Old Man Dong Qi was optimistic about this family and wanted to make friends.
"How's it going?"
Hua Changnian only thinks it looks good and magnificent, and can't see anything else.
Old man Dong Qi was a little frustrated, too, they were all laymen.
"Your old man said that it must be good, I think it's really good, so come like this."
The grave and tombstones are circled in a courtyard, there are tables and benches in front of the courtyard, there are pavilions and scenes, of course, they are all small ones, the whole courtyard is half a room big, it is said to be a courtyard, in fact, it is surrounded by square stones to be three bricks high.
Old man Dong Qi said: "You just have to rest assured, I have counted everything in everything, and your mother will definitely live comfortably." ”
Hua Yun was speechless, maybe her grandmother came out of it in the middle of the night to enjoy the scenery in the courtyard. If there are ghosts.
In other words, he can be regarded as a "ghost".
These days, because of the name of the Great Li family, there is a boom in ghost stories in the village. Hua Yun sat down according to the number, didn't he just borrow the corpse to return his soul.
Hua Changnian listened to the old man Dong Qi point out here and talk about feng shui here, and said the origin there, and finally said that it was good.
The first time Mr. Dong Qi saw such a talkative customer, he was open and took care of everything. said that he would invite someone to go directly to the mountain to start the work, and then he would give him an auspicious day to move the grave, and he would not charge money.
Hua Changnian thanked him for his kindness, and muttered in his heart, and he still charged, and the new grave cost thirty taels of silver. And if you want to thank him afterwards, you still have to wrap another red envelope.
Money, gone again.
But Hua Changnian didn't dare to complain, and he wouldn't, this was spent on his mother's head, if it wasn't for his mother's support, I don't know how the family is now.
As soon as the old man Dong Qi left, Chen Dahe, the son of the village chief, came in with a pinch.
"Chang Nian, tell me, what do you want to build, I'll help you with the staff."
What else is it covering?
"It's just a row of houses, with a stove, and nothing else is needed yet."
This is the saving of silver.
Chen Dahe was not disappointed, what about that large piece of land, maybe what else to build in the future.
"Nacheng, let's start a few rooms, do you have a score in your heart? After deciding, I calculated how many materials I needed, and found something affordable and easy to use. ”
Hua Changnian couldn't wait to cover his chest, Hua Yun listened to him grit his teeth for a long time before saying five rooms, and he didn't care, anyway, the ownership is his own, and it doesn't matter how many rooms there are. pulled the flower thunder and said: "You don't have to listen to this, go ask Mr., and go to school tomorrow." ”
"Tomorrow? Too much of a hurry, right? It's a mess at home. ”
Hua Yun looked at him: "You can't help anything, go to school." ”
Hua Lei thought about it, indeed, whether it was an ancestral tomb or a new house, he really couldn't help. But—
"How can you be busy at home alone? I can still help you hunt pheasants. ”
Hua Yun wondered, when did you ask for help?
"I don't need you. Go to school. ”
Going to school is not negotiable.
The flowers are wilting, and the school that I longed for in the past seems to be less attractive.
