Chapter 23 The Present World Comes Quickly

It's still the butcher shop along the river, or the honest and upright butcher shopkeeper. I saw Mao Yulong passing by from a distance, ran out directly, and said apologetically to Mao Yulong: "Xiao Xiucaigong, I overcharged you 2 yuan a few days ago, I have always felt that this is very inappropriate, early this morning, I am waiting for you here." ”

This is the most simple people, the most simple people, and finally to the simple mind and folk customs.

Why are your own people so bitter? Eventually, Mao attributed the situation to the fact that his people were from Shanxi, and according to the locals, they were outsiders. Outsiders, even hundreds of years of integration cannot completely erase this estrangement between people.

The development of the Mao family to the current scale is also an achievement that is constantly encroaching on the interests of other ethnic groups. Therefore, whether it is the xenophobic ideology of foreign races or the internal needs of survival, the contradictions between the two sides have not been completely bridged until now. But this kind of struggle has been formed in the hearts of almost all so-called outsiders, xenophobia, jealousy, vigilance, and love of fighting, and this is the character that this so-called outsiders will inevitably form.

Therefore, in this era, there is no real population flow to later generations, and it is inevitable that an environment will form a character.

Of course, the general environment is still controlled by the locals, simple, honest and enthusiastic, this is the common character of the Han people, which no one can change.

Mao Yulong was moved by this kind of generosity and warmth from his heart, and hurriedly took out twenty yuan from his sleeve: "The two yuan is your mercy under the knife and gave me an extra relationship between two taels of meat, you don't want to be a fool, I can still see two taels of extra meat." Accept your affection, and everything must be fair. Stopping the butcher shop owner who was still going to say something, Mao Yulong put 20 yuan on his board, and said shyly: "I want to trouble you, I will give me another 20 cents for your meat and bones." ”

The owner of the butcher shop was already flattered, and hurriedly took out a bamboo basket from under the board, which was full of meat and bones: "Keep it for you, it's not worth much, you take it back to your puppy." ”

Mao Yulong's face turned red, and he couldn't say anything more. I could only bow my hand, then I took the bamboo basket and walked back, walked a few steps, and when I turned my head to look across the river, I saw the shopkeeper of the grain store opposite standing in front of the store, arching his hand at himself, with a smile on his face.

Mao Yulong returned the salute, separated by a river, he couldn't hear anything, in fact, there was no need to say it, anyway, everyone accepted each other's feelings.

When he got home, Mao Yulong was still boiling bone broth in the yard, his mother was cooking in the house, and Xiaoya took Xiao Huang, who was already in good spirits because of his bones, and ran in circles in the yard. Cheerful laughter makes even the most painful people happy.

However, the mother was not very happy, while scooping rice and cooking, she told Mao Yulong the news she had just heard: "Just now, the grandson of the patriarch and uncle took four children, and he intercepted people on the official road and spat and asked for money, but he bumped into someone from the Song family. At that time, the carriage of the eldest prince of the Song family was frightened. As a result, the horses were frightened, and the cart overturned into the ditch, and the little son of the Song family fell into seven meat and eight vegetables. This stabbed the hornet's nest, of course the slaves of the Song family did not let it, and directly beat the children. It's really pitiful, those slaves of the Song family are like wolves and tigers, beating the five poor children to death, this is not the end, the Song family has sent a message, to let the elders of these children's families, they must go to the Song family to apologize and pay a lot of medical expenses, otherwise they will be accused of a parent's lax discipline and sued to the yamen. ”

Mao Yulong was still busy with the work in his hands, but he sighed in his heart, this is really the fast news of the present world, such a big thing happened in the blink of an eye. When Mao Yulong listened, the corners of his mouth turned up involuntarily, but he comforted his mother: "Uncle Patriarch has hands and eyes, he will arrange this matter." ”

But the mother said: "What hands and eyes are all over the sky, it's not that he can only be rampant and domineering in our clan, once he is out of this area, he is nothing, who is not good to provoke, I want to provoke the Song family, is the Song family so easy to provoke?" ”

The Song family in Hangzhou is a large gentry for hundreds of years, the family is prosperous, and there are many talents, especially at this stage, there are not only thousands of weavers, but also trading shops all over the city.

Because of the family history, the family has a lot of money, just in the past ten years, there have been a few jinshi, a few shows, and all the people in Hangzhou are respectfully called, a three-jinshi, up and down ten shows.

Here, only they bully others, how can there be any reason to be bullied by others?

Mao Yulong smiled evilly, it seems that the villain's cultivation plan has achieved its effect just now at the instigation of his own ten cents.

That's right, your children, your adults can use various excuses to say that they are children and pampered, but who cares about you like this?

Hearing that several children were beaten to death, Mao Yulong felt a little guilty in his heart, but after thinking about it, he actually did this, which was tantamount to educating these children for those families in disguise. With this lesson, these children develop a deep-seated idea in their young minds about rules. This world is not centered on him. At home, you can be pampered, but when you enter society, who cares that you are a little bully at home? This is also a disguised way to educate him in advance, understand the rules of this world, and let them know how to be a person in advance.

Thinking that he had this merit, Mao Yulong not only did not have the guilt he felt at the beginning, but had a sense of accomplishment - because of what he did, with ten cents, he made this world less of a few future ruffians and hooligans, and more people who knew the rules, which is definitely a great merit.

Just thinking about this, there was a knock on the courtyard door, and before Mao Yulong could open the door, the courtyard door was directly pushed open, and the patriarch stood in the door with an anxious face.

The patriarch came in person, which was the first time after his cheap father died in battle, which really made Mao Yulong's pickled courtyard shine.

Mao Yulong stepped forward with a smile to salute, and the patriarch hurriedly asked, "Where is your mother?" ”

At this time, the mother had already seen the patriarch coming in the house, and was hurrying out to meet him, ask questions, and hurriedly gather himself to give gifts.

The patriarch waved his hand: "Wen Kun's family, you also heard about what happened this afternoon, a few of our children collided with the Song family's carriage and horses, and as a result, several children were beaten." But the Song family did not give up, not only asking us old people to make amends for their past sins, but also asking us to compensate them for a lot of money and medical expenses. In fact, when an adult hit a child, it was originally his fault, no matter what the child did wrong, they were still children, how could they blackmail us, so I was going to let Yulong go to the Song family to theorize. Then he turned to Mao Yulong and ordered: "You should pack up and go to the Song family now, but you can't let the Song family bully our Mao family like this." The tone of the speech is a matter of course, and there is absolutely no room for negotiation.
