() entered the third uncle's house, and the three of them greeted each other very respectfully, "Third uncle, third uncle, fifth uncle, fifth aunt." ”

The third uncle is over sixty years old, although his face looks old, but his body is still very healthy, seeing that the three boys are not arrogant and unreasonable because of their appearance, they are very satisfied, touching their long beard and nodding.

Lizheng's daughter-in-law, who was called the fifth aunt, politely invited them to sit down, and said, "Come here, what kind of etiquette do you bring, isn't it outside." ”

In his hand, he quietly accepted the gift.

Li Zheng Liangda smiled a little embarrassedly, and he really couldn't help this shallow-eyed daughter-in-law, so he had to glare at her fiercely.

sat down and drank a cup of tea, the third uncle asked about the situation of the three of them, and Changkang hurriedly praised the Liu family

The third uncle heard that the three of them had won the eyes of the master's family, and they were very valued, and now they listened directly to the young master, and they were very happy, and told his son with a smile, "Go, bring our bag of rice and make a return gift to the third boy's master's family." ”

Liang Da listened to the order and went to the back room to bring a small bag of rice.

Although Changsheng didn't think so, it was not good to meet the third uncle's intentions, so they had to take it.

The third uncle seemed to see what they were thinking, took the teacup, and said with some displeasure: "You three bastards, you really don't know the goods, I think this is the rice you eat every day, it's not a good thing, how can your third uncle take it out, is it difficult to become something and let you be said." This is a treasure in our village, and even if you want it in the past, you didn't get it. ”

Chang Sheng hurriedly smiled: "The things given by the third uncle must be good." ”

The third uncle nodded with satisfaction, "It's about the same, you went out at a very young age, I don't know what it is, and my uncle will tell you today." ”

"Our village was not called Yuquan Village, and the mountain behind the village was not called Yuquan Mountain, it was just a bare mountain with no grass growing a long time ago, and then there was an immortal who traveled here, and saw that the feng shui here was very good, but it was missing a look. He poured the immortal wine in his hand into the middle of the mountainside and turned it into a green mountain spring, which gave him the name of Jade Spring. ”

"In order to commemorate this immortal, our ancestors opened a barren field at the bottom of the mountain. This barren field is carried by the villagers to carry the jade spring water for irrigation, it is strange to say, the rice grown in this field is particularly fragrant, especially glutinous and soft, but the yield is limited. There are only one or two bags every year, one bag is used to worship the immortals and ancestors, and the other bag is given to the county lord, just because this year I have collected such half a bag, my uncle has been reluctant to eat, which is cheaper for you three bastards. ”

Hearing what the third uncle said, Changsheng and the others knew the preciousness of this rice, and they hurriedly got up and thanked them solemnly.

Changsheng said that there was another matter when he came back this time, and the main family needed some manpower and was ready to recruit some people in the village.

The third uncle was even happier when he heard it. As the head of the clan, he is old again, and he attaches more importance to the honor and interests of his clan, and feels that these boys have not forgotten their roots, and they have not forgotten their clansmen when they are out, and they are willing to take the clansmen with them.

Satisfied, he hurriedly asked Liang Da to help choose a few brothers who were more honest and responsible.

Liang Da agreed, and several people talked back, and Changsheng and they said goodbye.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, faintly reflecting the outline of the village. The pond in the northwest, the big poplar tree in the middle, and the swarthy Yuquan Mountain behind the village were their favorite places to play when they were young. It makes people give birth to a lot of kindness for no reason.

There was still a lively laughter in a few houses, and the three of them were not in a hurry to go back, but walked around the village, and before they knew it, they came to the pond, and the three of them hooked their shoulders and backs, remembering the past when they were bare-chested. I couldn't help but laugh.

Early in the morning of the second day, Changkang's family was eating when someone came to the door.

"Sister-in-law Chen, I'm eating."

The person who came shook at the door and said embarrassedly.

"Sister Wu, it's okay, come in and sit down."

Changkang and his mother hurriedly let people in, and Changkang also quickly got up and shouted, "Aunt Wu." ”

Wu lives next door to his house, and his husband's surname is Wen, who is one of the few people with a foreign surname in Yuquan Village.

Wu Shi was a little cramped, sat on a small stool next to him, and waited for them to finish eating, then he muttered, "I'...... My Xiaoxing hasn't been home for a few years, I just want to ask, Xiaoshun has never seen my Xiaoxing, I don't know if she's doing well? ”

Changkang remembered that Xiaoxing was sold to Fangfu at the beginning, and he heard that he was often beaten and scolded at the beginning, and he hadn't seen her in the past two years, so he didn't know if her current condition was better.

I had to shake my head, and thought that even if I was wronged, Xiao Xing would not sue the family, and let the family worry in plain terms, so I comforted: "Aunt Wu don't worry, Xiao Xing is also going to a big family, it shouldn't be bad." ”

Wu witnessed the scenery of Changkang's return, and naturally believed most of his words, so he smiled.

"What Xiaoshun said is that she also brought a letter back the year before last, saying that it was very good for us not to worry, and I was afraid that she would be wronged and refused to say, so I came to ask, it seems that I am too worried."

"Yes, the children are outside, how can there be a mother who is not worried, before Xiaoshun didn't go back, my heart was not also up and down, and even the dream he had at night was that he was wronged and had nowhere to complain, and he cried twice for this, and now he is relieved. Sister Wu, don't worry, go back and let Xiaoshun take a look and take care of it more, after all, it's not easy for the villagers. ”

Changkang nodded hurriedly, "Aunt Wu, don't worry, I will take care of Xiao Xing." ”

Wu got Changkang's assurance, so he put his heart back in his stomach, took out a bowl of beans fried by himself, and stuffed it into Changkang's hand.

However, it was said that Liang Da was going to recruit people, and there was a lot of noise under the big poplar tree in the morning, and finally several respected older generations in the village got together to settle down.

Yuquan Village recruited five here, and Changsheng and they went to Wangjia Village again, and cooperated with Master Jiang to recruit five, making up the whole number.

The two sides made an appointment to return to the city, went to the town to hire three more carriages, and five days later, returned to Wucheng with people.

Placing people in Qingquanzhuang, Liu Qin and Jiang left to meet, and the new recruits seemed to be honest and satisfied.

Master Jiang and Wang Guihua took their son over, his parents were unwilling to leave home and stay in the village to be taken care of by his second brother, and Master Jiang gave the second brother some alimony, which was also free of worries.

The brewery was built very quickly, and it was nearing completion, and Ning Zhiyuan would come to know the progress every once in a while, and everything was carried out in anticipation.

Changkang has always remembered Aunt Wu's entrustment, and when he saw that there was nothing to do in the house this day, he took leave from the house and went to Fangfu.

Bypass the tall and wide front door and turn into a dark alley, which is the back door of the Fang Mansion.

There was also an elderly servant woman on duty at the back door, Changkang knew the rules very well, took out a handful of copper horns from his body, and stuffed it into the woman's hand with a smile.

"This eldest lady, my sister-in-law Wen Xing is on an errand in the house, and I want to ask my aunt to help spread a message and let her come to see me."

The woman saw that Changkang looked good and was generous, so she was less vigilant in her heart, put the copper coin into her arms, and said with a smile: "It's Wen Xing's girl, it's a coincidence, she should go to the big kitchen at this hour every day, you wait, I'll let people shout." ”

The woman beckoned to the girl who was sweeping beside her, and said a few words in a low voice, and the girl ran away. (To be continued.) )
