Zhao Siniang, who was weak-hearted, felt that she couldn't hold it anymore, so she hurriedly beckoned the family to push the car and left Jiang's house in a hurry.

In order to facilitate the handling of the guys they left in Lao Zhao's house, they specially chose a big trolley today, but there was only a bamboo basket full of straw on the cart, which made it even more empty on the cart.

"Siniang, go to the town to buy something for your grandma later?" Although Zhao Yongzhong believed that the little girl would be able to do things safely, he was still curious about what gifts she would prepare for his father.

Zhao Siniang glanced at the dock not far away and said with a smile: "Dad, let's go to the dock to buy two fish and bring them over!" ”

Zhao Yongzhong said strangely: "It's not that I want to go to the town to buy ......"

"Dad, let's go back from Jiangjiatan, how can we say it without two fish? According to what my sister said, let's go buy fish! Zhao Sanniang said.

So Zhao Yongzhong was dragged to the dock by his family, but after arriving at the dock, Zhao Siniang changed her mind and bought not only two, but a total of six big fish.

Zhao Sanniang muttered secretly in her heart, why is her sister so generous to the old Zhao family? This doesn't make sense!

What was even more unexpected to Zhao Sanniang was that Zhao Siniang also behaved very generously when she arrived in the town.

Zhao Siniang first led the family from East Street to South Street, went to the blacksmith shop to retrieve the customized mold, and then went to the grocery store to order a stone mill. After finishing these errands in the shop, Zhao Siniang bought four more packets of brown sugar, four packs of jujubes and two rulers.

These things are nothing to the wealthy Zhao Siniang, but except for Zhao Yongzhong, everyone else was shocked: with their understanding of Zhao Siniang, even if Zhao Siniang threw the silver into the water, I am afraid that she would not spend this money on Zhao Qiao's family!

Only Zhao Yongzhong saw these things and smiled stupidly: "What are you doing with brown sugar and rulers?" I didn't buy so much yesterday, I just took it directly from home! ”

Zhao Siniang explained: "The better brown sugar at home is for everyone to drink, and the next one is for other purposes." As for the ruler, although the cloth I bought yesterday is also muslin, it is only a medium product, and of course you have to buy the best one for gifting! ”

Zhao Sanniang and Zhao Sanlang looked at each other, and said curiously: Could it be that today's sister has changed sex?

Zhao Siniang, who was not sure if it was really a change of sex, saw that Zhaojia Village was getting closer and closer, so she asked Zhao Yongzhong to stop the car, and once again carefully checked whether the brown sugar, red dates and rulers in the bamboo basket were properly hidden, and only after confirming that they were correct, did she let Zhao Yongzhong push the car up again.

"Siniang, good things, why hide them?" Zhao Yongzhong asked.

Zhao Siniang blinked her eyes and said with a smile: "Dad, don't show your wealth!" What should I do if I encounter a robbery? ”

This time the whole family was amused, and Zhao Sanlang became more and more sure of these things in the bamboo basket, Zhao Qiao's family and they probably couldn't even touch the edge.

After entering Zhaojia Village, he met several acquaintances before he walked a few steps, Zhao Yongzhong took the initiative to greet them, but I don't know if it was Zhao Yongzhong's illusion, although others also responded to him, but the eyes of their family were a little strange.

Seeing Zhao Yongzhong's confused face, Zhao Siniang proposed: "If you want to know what's going on, let's go to Lizheng's house and ask?" Last time, I was talking for us, and we haven't thanked anyone yet! Come and thank you now! ”

So the family went to Lizheng's house not far away.

Li Zheng's family not only has the most thoughtful house in Zhaojia Village, but also has the largest number of servants in Zhaojia Village. Since Li Zheng's position is the most basic official, responsible for handling trivial affairs in the village, large and small, from time to time there will be villagers to visit, so there is no shortage of servants Li Zheng's family is equipped with a small servant outside the door, specifically responsible for ushering in the send-off.

Although the little guy was not from this village, he still recognized Zhao Yongzhong and his family, and he couldn't help but be surprised to see that they had actually returned to Zhaojia Village.

"Third Brother Zhao, didn't you go out to hide your debts? Why are you back? The little guy hurriedly asked.

Zhao Yongzhong said curiously: "Hiding debts? How does this say? I just took my daughter-in-law and children to my father-in-law's house. Brother Liang, who made this rumor? ”

"This ......" the little guy Liang Youfu looked embarrassed, and some couldn't speak.

Zhao Siniang smiled: "Do you still need to ask?" It must be what our grandmother said! It's just Uncle Liang, did our grandfather admit it? ”

Liang Youfu said truthfully: "Only Second Aunt Zhao is shouting there every day, and she also threatens to cut off relations with you. Zhao Erbo didn't say anything, but when asked, he didn't say no, just shook his head there and sighed. ”

Zhao Yongzhong and his wife only felt cold when they heard this, while Zhao Sanniang and they sneered in their hearts.

At this time, I only heard the voice of Li Zheng Zhao Zhengyi from the courtyard: "Blessed, who are you talking to outside?" ”

Liang Youfu hurriedly went in to report that it was Zhao Yongzhong's family who came to visit.

This time it was not only Li Zheng, but even a few village elders who drank tea and chatted with Zhao Zhengyi were strange, it was only a few days, and Zhao Yongzhong's family, who went out to hide from debts, dared to run back?

However, the well-informed Li Zheng was still busy asking Liang Youfu to invite Zhao Yongzhong's family in.

Before entering the door, Zhao Siniang stuffed two fish into Zhao Yongzhong's hands and asked him to bring them in to Li Zheng.

Zhao Siniang said with a smile: "Grandpa Lizheng, a few days ago, my grandfather celebrated his fiftieth birthday, and our family went to Jiangjiatan to pay homage to his old man's birthday." My grandfather's family was so polite that they kept us until today and refused to let us back. This Jiangjiatan has no other specialties, so it is rich in fish. These two fish are freshly caught, so bring them back for you to try! ”

Zhao Zhengyi knew that the fish in Jiangjiatan was not worth much, but this was the intention of Zhao Yongzhong's family, so he accepted it after two resignations, and let his subordinates carry it to the stove.

"Yongzhong, how many days have you been in Jiangjiatan?" Zhao Zhengliang, who was drinking tea at Lizheng's house, was the first to ask.

Zhao Yongzhong hurriedly said: "Yes, I have been married for more than ten years, and I have never had the opportunity to pay homage to my father-in-law, and I can't help it." This time the family was separated, and there was nothing important at hand, but it happened that my father-in-law had his fiftieth birthday, so he rushed to Jiangjiatan to pay respects. We, we're not really out to hide from debts! ”

Zhao Zhengliang saw that Zhao Yongzhong's face was flushed, and he nodded hurriedly and said: "You are what I grew up watching, and I can definitely trust your character!" It's just your mother...... Alas, it's so unlikely! ”

"To be honest, in addition to paying homage to Jiangjiatan, we still want to raise some money to come back to pay off our debts." Zhao Siniang said as she took out a bag of broken silver from her pocket, and then said, "Grandpa Lizheng, in fact, we don't want to delay for so many days, we want to come back early." But it's really hard to raise money! Jiangjiatan is also a fishing village that is too poor to be poor, and we have almost run all the families in the village, and we haven't borrowed a few dollars. In the end, my grandfather sold his boat, and finally managed to raise all the money. ”

Zhao Zhengliang and the others took a look, and saw that the broken silver in Zhao Siniang's hand added up to about five or six taels. Originally, they didn't believe that the diligent and down-to-earth Zhao Yongzhong family would leave their parents and run away, and with these silver as proof, they all believed that they really went to Jiangjiatan to raise money.

Then Zhao Siniang sighed: "Alas, my grandfather's family is already having a hard time, and what's worse is that my uncle broke his leg a few days ago, and his life is getting worse and worse." But for the sake of our family, my grandfather still sold the fishing boat he relied on for his livelihood without saying a word, and this kindness is unforgettable for our family! It just so happened that we didn't have a house in Zhaojia Village, so the family gave us five strings of money. Everyone understands that this amount of money is not enough to buy a foundation in Zhaojia Village, let alone build a house. So I planned to pay off the debts and move my family to Jiangjiatan. It is not only to repay the kindness of my grandfather's family, but also to find a way to live for myself. ”

The amount of information in Zhao Siniang's words was too great, and they were all a little stunned, and it took a while for them to react.

"What's going on? Didn't you get half of the East Wing? Why do you say that there is no house now? Li Zheng asked busily.

Zhao Siniang saw that Zhao Yongzhong looked strange, and she stopped talking, so she hurriedly grabbed her father's hand and gave Zhao Sanlang another look.

Zhao Sanlang replied: "My grandmother said that my fourth uncle was about to get married, and it was too crowded for the two families to live together, so she subsidized our family with five strings of money to let us build another house to live in." ”

"What? Did you really give five strings of money? Five strings of money can't even build a thatched hut, does Zhao Qiaoshi want his children and grandchildren to live in a shack? Originally, the division of the family was extremely unfair, and if nothing else was mentioned, let's talk about this house! With such a thoughtful house, a main house and a side room, Yongzhong and his family of six only gave one room. Hum! What about when others don't know? Her unmarried little girl has monopolized the entire West Wing! This heart is too biased! The outspoken Zhao Zhengliang complained about Zhao Yongzhong's family.

"Our master always admonishes us that we must take into account the overall situation when we are a man. For Brother Lang to be admitted to the imperial examination, it's not a big deal for us to make some sacrifices......"

Hearing Zhao Sanlang say this, although Li Zheng and the village elders didn't say anything, they began to despise Old Man Zhao's personality in their hearts: obviously their hearts are biased, and they are embarrassed to say it so high-sounding.

“…… So what is the division of this family, we also recognize. It's just that we really don't have the ability to live in Zhaojia Village, so we have to move our family out. In the future, we will not be able to do our filial piety in front of our grandmother, and please take care of them in the future. If something happens at home, I hope to send someone to inform you, and we will definitely come over immediately! Zhao Sanlang said as he solemnly saluted them.

They couldn't help but sigh: What a good son and grandson! Alas, Zhao Zhengping and his wife really don't know how to cherish their blessings!
