Qiu Qu's question was detailed, and Cousin Qiu and the others couldn't answer. Qiu Qu thought they were incompetent, so he asked the girl to send tea out to the guy who reported the news, and picked up a plate of crescent moon snacks and a plate of rice candy, and also asked them to be brought out. The fellow sat in the front room, and she sat in the back, leaning against the door and asking questions.

Shuangshuang was in the inn, but he joked with Qiu Huitian: "It's still as if you are a snake here, and when you come to your territory, you are asked to cover it." I can't even get through the door. I have to stay in my own hotel! ”

Qiu Huitian didn't want to fight with the girl, so he had to say: "Staying in a hotel also has the advantage of staying in a hotel." ”

Shuangshuang didn't let him go: "I still think this is your sister!" It's someone else's person to marry someone, and it's inconvenient for you to enter her husband's house under filial piety, so it's a step forward. That's enough compromise. How is it that the brothers are still avoiding. Isn't your aunt his own? Could it be that his family is surnamed Ou and not Qiu? ”

Qiu Huitian begged for mercy: "You just say that my cousin is like a girl." You say, "I'm listening, okay?" ”

Shuangshuang said: "I rarely said your brother!" He added, "Fortunately, Linglin City is also a big city." We were supposed to be here. It doesn't matter if your brother and sister-in-law help or not, and it doesn't matter. Even if they are willing to help, they may not be able to help. ”

Qiu Huitian said: "Since you are so capable, don't be busy." You are now the wife of the second shopkeeper, how do you always talk to me? Beware of gossip. ”

Now Lin Dai wants to disguise his identity and pretend to be a man, both of them will be her wife, so as to hide people's eyes. Qiu Huitian mentioned this, and both said: "It's a good atmosphere in the north. Not as tight as it is on the south side. Women also show their heads. I don't think it matters anything. ”

Qiu Huitian explained: "The conditions in the north are not good, and some women can't hide if they want to. The conditions are still the same, and the requirements are higher than those in the south. If it's insulting, maybe it's really killed. It is also common. ”

Both were shocked: "The south doesn't kill people for this now." ”

Qiu Huitian spread his hands and said, "Fortunately, it is mainly aimed at the eldest girl who has not left the cabinet." The people in the north are fierce, and they are afraid that they will suffer. ”

Hearing this, Shuangshuang snorted in his nose. It means that if the girl suffers, there is only comfort in the family, so how can she kill her. Qiu Huitian knew what this meant, so he had to pretend not to know. continued: "Or a young grandmother from a very rich family. That's really a high-status family. Ordinary people can't get it if they want to be so controlled. ”

Shuangshuang finally sarcastically said: "Who wants to be so restrained!" ”

Qiu Huitian said with a straight face: "Don't say it. Just because you don't want it doesn't mean that others don't. ”

Thinking about it, there are indeed some women's lowliness that are far beyond her imagination. Don't say she's a girl. It's an inferior person. How many middle-class old, middle-aged and young women. She said fairly, she had to push the old and bring forth the new! It's not a woman who can deny it for them. So they were silent.

The two of them were busy for a while, and the guy who went to Cousin Qiu's house to report the news came back. took the towel and patted off the soil on his body, and sighed: "What a great grandma!" ”

"Grandma" in the north refers specifically to grandmothers, and is rarely used as an honorific title. Generally, if a woman has an ordination, she is respected as "Mrs.", and if she does not have an ordination, she is respected as "Mrs." This guy also knows the customs of the north, and deliberately calls "grandma", which has the meaning of ridicule in it.

Qiu Huitian was helpless: "Hey, that's my cousin-in-law!" ”

The guy put the towel away: "How do you have such a cousin!" "It's not worth it for Qiu Huitian.

The climate in the north is dry, especially on the side of Linglin City, where the wind and sand are strong. If you want to keep the house basically clean, you have to take a pat before entering the door.

With such a harsh climate, the conditions for agricultural production can be imagined. There are no minerals here, let alone heavy industry. Relying on a small handicraft industry and planting some crops that are hard to die and not easy to die, Qiu Huitian feels that the conditions are relatively bad. The uncomfortable behavior of his cousin and sister-in-law had to be attributed to the compulsion of life.

In fact, there is another saying: it is called "poor mountains and bad waters out of the people". Or, "Residence and Qi migration, nourishment and body".

Mama Qiu was annoyed by them back then, and she didn't want to come and go, and when she talked about this place, she sneered at all the residents of a place. Qiu Huitian: They want to make money now, so they have to come. Who is ugly with money? But it's not comfortable to get along, it's still uncomfortable.

No matter how uncomfortable she was, Qiu Huitian also went to live at her cousin's house. Because his sister-in-law heard that he worked in such a big business, she was interested in stammering, and Qiu Huitian happened to go to their house to inquire about some local conditions.

In fact, if you are in the south, you don't have to be so complicated, go to a teahouse or something like that, or hire a bag to inquire, and you will understand the basic situation in a short time. It's a pity that this is the north, and the favor is greater, and it is difficult to make money. If you want to do this cleanly and neatly, people will be confused, or when you are a pig's head, you will not be slaughtered for nothing, and you will not say anything about the loss, and the things that will be done later will not be easy to do. So it's better to follow the local people's feelings.

To do things here, you have to come leisurely first, don't be in a hurry, and make friends. Put the friendship up, ask for tea and snacks, and then ask for a meal or something, and slowly talk deeply, so that you can talk, ask about the situation, and get things done.

Qiu Huitian also lived in her cousin-in-law's house, so she slowly started talking.

Ling Lin City is on the main traffic road. The source of goods can be transported here along the main road, as a storage point, and then shipped out in other directions.

This is a big city, after the war, there are also many court staff here, and some people who fled from the extreme north to the south fled to Linglin City, and when they saw that it was almost over, they didn't go to other places, like aquatic plants flowing down the river, they encountered a big stone, and they stayed here.

There are also some family members from the south, who originally worked in other towns, and the conditions were worse than those of Ling Lin City. They also ganged up and settled in Linglin City.

There were so many more people in Ling Lin City all of a sudden. They all have living needs, but Ling Lincheng's own service conditions and material level can't keep up. This gap can be filled by Ah Handa. These outsiders, many of whom have a bulging pocket and enough money, are waiting for a suitable place to spend it. The silver was simply jingling and shouting, "Come earn me, earn me!" ”

There are also poor people who want to do some work and earn some money when they get here. But Ling Lincheng didn't have much to live. Locals are mixed. Where are so many job opportunities for them? When they are destitute, they will thank whoever hires him and gives him whatever salary he wants.

The wages in the north are a little lower than those in the south, and with these people, Ahanda can recruit workers on the spot.

In addition, Qiu Huitian also inquired that the Zhuo family, one of the bigwigs in the city, was currently troubled.

In the generation of the Zhuo family, there were three boys, one of whom died not long after birth, and there were two left.

Their generation is the generation of "Zhi". Lao Tzu flipped through the names given to them by ancient books. The first one is called Zhijing, the so-called Zhijing and moderation, then the gentleman gives it a gift. Good name. When you become an adult, you have to take a "word", and the ready-made one can be called "Zhili", how beautiful!

The second one is lined up with the eldest brother, and it should be called Zhihe, taking the meaning of "Zhihe and Yinya, then the gentleman will give it pleasure". It's also a good meaning. Who knew that before a hundred days passed, he died. When I conceive the third one, everyone is a little panicked: you must know that Zhijing and Zhihe are good names, but the third sentence in the ancient book is like this - "If you mourn and live in the covenant, the gentleman will mourn it"! How bad it looks to be, isn't it? Who knows if the second child died young, is it because of this bad luck? What should I do with the third name? Does the boss's name have to be changed as well?

They hired Mr. Word Measurement. Mr. Word Measurement counted his fingers, but he gave them joy, saying that this is the pattern of "putting them to death and then being born". You don't need to change the name, just use it as much as you can. But literally to avoid it, just call it "Zhiyue".

Zhuo Zhiyue grew up like this, he was really healthy, but he was just greedy. Not as sensible as his brother Zhihe. The main thing in the family is to cultivate Zhuo Zhihe. Zhiyue couldn't stay at home, so he said that he would go out and mess around, so he rolled up a little and left. Zhuo Zhihe was honest at home, but he didn't expect that the misfortune would be biased towards the blessing and light people, and he fell into the river and drowned a while ago. The Zhuo family is holding a funeral, asking Zhiyue to come back, and asking Mr. Yin and Yang to tell fortunes.

This time, the gentleman is not like the one who said it when he was born. Who did he say gave this name? The big murderer. It's just that two of them are in the way, and the remaining one is okay. It's just that he has to be locked up for a few days and fasted, and then ask his husband to draw a talisman and pray for him, so that he can turn evil into good fortune.

The Zhuo family is even more anxious to call Zhiyue back. Who knows that Zhi is reluctant to come back. The family is bored! It took a lot of effort to ask someone to inquire over there, and it turned out that he had a woman outside!

That's the trouble. Because the Zhuo family is very disciplined, when the boys reach their age, they all marry wives at home. If you have a wife, you can become a person, and you can go outside to earn a living. This little master is young himself, and he has a wife who is three years older than him, which also means "the wife is the third year to hold the gold brick", and the elders are very satisfied. The wife is also very stable at home. If there is another person outside him, it will be a concubine!

The child is greedy for fun, and eating such a mouthful is nothing, and it is not good to stab his wife in the face, and the elders pretend to scold him and blame him for coaxing his wife, and it is over. But Zhiyue didn't come back to the concubine, so it can be seen that he is serious. Not to mention his wife's tears behind her back, his grandfather was so angry that he threatened to beat him to death. His mother cried, "Oh my God! You don't have long eyes, why did you take the eldest brother away. If the eldest brother is here, I can kill the younger brother with my own hands! Big brother is not here, what do you want me to do? I have to leave it for Lao Zhuo's family! (To be continued......)
