Nanjing, Dingjia Village.

This is a small village located on the outskirts of the city, similar to thousands of villages in the Ming Dynasty, with surnames as the name, those who eat on this land, trace their bloodlines, and are all relatives.

This season should be just in time for the autumn harvest, and in a golden crop field outside the village, one or two hundred farmers and village women are busy working, and at the entrance of the village, a large group of half-sized broken boys are chasing and fighting.

The laughter of children and the crowing of chickens and dogs everywhere in the village are mixed together, and what is presented is an ordinary, harmonious and stable civilian society.

When the adults come home from their busy work, they begin to shout different nicknames, which is a reminder that it is time to eat, which also means that the happy time of the day for this group of children will end here.

"Today, the grain is all over, and the old sect will send someone to collect the endowment, and I will take the city to sell the remaining half."

The man in charge of the house was eating multigrain buns, looking at two or three plates of pickled pickles in front of him, and he ate them with relish.

"In the past two years, the price of grain has become lower and lower, and I am afraid that I will not be able to sell it for a few dollars."

The daughter-in-law would have finished eating, sitting at the head of the bed and mending a coarse garment, and from time to time she would glance at the corner of the bed.

"With the money from the sale, I plan to buy two hangs of bacon and two more satin."

The wife was startled, and the rough clothes in her hand were also put down: "Master, are you crazy?" ”

If you don't buy bacon, what do you do when you buy bacon, don't say it's not a New Year, even if it's the New Year, there is no reason to spend so much money.

Two hanging bacon, two horses of satin, half of this year's harvest is considered to be a clean flower.

"It's not for nothing, and it's not our own food and clothing."

The man stretched out his big hand full of calluses and put it on the head of his son next to him, silly: "I plan to send it to the elder Zong, I heard the fifth child say a few days ago that our village has an opportunity to send the child to the city to go to school, and I want to fight for the dog leftover." ”

In the past two years, Nanjing has opened several children's schools and children's schools, but a place for admission is also precious, and the Department of Education in Nanjing, which is biased, has been supervising and strictly checking whether each child in the school quota is really an ordinary person, or is it sent in by those dignitaries and dignitaries.

But even so, there are millions of people in Nanjing, and it is definitely not the turn of the reason to flow such precious places outside the city.

"It's not the boss of Uncle Gen's family, I passed the government exam last year, and I heard that I am now working as an errand in the Department of Education, and this place is won for our Dingjia Village."

The man first said two words of envy, and then patted his son's head: "You have to send the child to school, only when you go to school can you be productive, otherwise if you stay in the village, you won't be able to follow us for a lifetime in the future, and if you go on like this from generation to generation, what future can you have." ”

The daughter-in-law nodded, and after knowing the purpose of the money, she was also very supportive: "As long as you can send the child in, then the money is worth spent, if it is not enough, you can go to the bank to get some more, just one place, it is estimated that the village will have to break the head." ”

"Don't talk about it."

The man sighed: "It's a shame that the sect's family doesn't have a grandson, otherwise there is no need to fight." ”

"Fart, Sect Elder."

The daughter-in-law snorted dissatisfiedly: "When you become a village head, everything good in the village will be returned to your own house, and the two sons will be rich in one race, phew!" The old guy who eats and takes the card deserves that his family can't give birth to a male doll, just a few granddaughters. ”

"It's my uncle and grandfather according to my generation, you speak politely."

The man glared, and immediately snorted himself angrily.

"The old thing lives for a long time, a few years ago, when there was a banquet for the elderly in Beijing, I heard that I had seen the emperor Lao Tzu, and I didn't have this opportunity in the past few years, so I bragged about these old rotten grains every day, and the prefecture and county collected the children, which one didn't give him face."

After speaking, he looked at his son, silly music.

"Our dog is smart when he is young, this time we will work hard to send him to school, and when he grows up in the future, he will be able to take the public examination with the old university of the root family, if he can become an official, then our family is really the ancestral grave with green smoke."

"What is an official?"

Gou Yu raised his little head and looked at the man and asked.

The latter who asked was stunned, and before he could reply, he heard the daughter-in-law on the side say: "An official is a person with a good reputation, a superior person, and the most noble person." ”

Human?

Gou Yu immediately realized: "Is it the same as the one I rode on my father's neck when I was a child." ”

The daughter-in-law was amused, but nodded anyway.

"That's right, after becoming an official, you can ride on someone else's head."

"What nonsense?"

The man glanced at his daughter-in-law: "Dog, don't listen to your mother's nonsense, you have to work as an official, and you have to work hard for the people." ”

"."

The daughter-in-law was a little disdainful: "You take this seriously, which official is as good as you say, don't they all eat delicacies from the mountains and seas all day long, and I haven't seen them worry about the affairs of the common people." ”

The man slapped down the chopsticks and provoked a problem: "Hey, I said why do you complain so much all day and night, there are no good people who are officials, and the boss of Uncle Gen's family still knows how to pull this school quota to the village, besides, when you enter the city, don't you all hang the plaque of 'serving the people' at the entrance of the city?"

This is what the human emperor Lao Tzu said, listen carefully. ”

The name of the emperor Lao Tzu frightened his daughter-in-law, although she was a little scared, she still pouted: "Anyway, let me see, none of the rich and official are good people, the blessings are all enjoyed by them, and we suffer the hardships." ”

"I think you're typical of overeating."

The man slapped the table angrily: "You forgot what Zong Lao said before, since the twelfth year of Jianwen, as long as the land is less than three acres but the children are more than two, which household in our village will be directly exempted from the endowment, and the endowment of other households has also changed from 20 taxes to 30 taxes unified with other provinces."

Then again, you just look at the two sons of Renzong's hometown are rich, don't people build roads for our village, you should be cheap for that car of cement, have you asked our family to spend a penny, the rich contribute to the township, like the boss of Uncle Gen's family, people will contribute to our village, strive for school places, and they are all contributing to our village, which is like you women, who don't do anything serious all day long, they will complain behind their backs.

Over the years, have you been hungry once, and now the days are getting better and better, every family can eat and drink enough, and you will scold your mother when you put down your chopsticks.

is not in charge of the official, this court lets you be in charge, with your thoughts, the common people are really starving to death, with a broken mouth, I don't know what to do. ”

The daughter-in-law was scolded honestly, and she didn't dare to fight back, so she silently cleaned up the dishes on the table and washed them.

At this time, there was a sound of horses' hooves outside the window, and he scolded angrily.

"It's designated to be those who watch the end of the game and don't hesitate, every day at this point, it's going to die."

"Eight hundred miles expedited, the southwest is successful!"
