Chapter 50: The Past
All the little children's eyes looked at the rag doll in Fang Yuan's hand, in their eyes, it was the most beautiful, and the shoes couldn't compare, the children had a fairy tale world in their hearts, and now they saw the rag doll in Fang Yuan's hand, that was the fairy tale in their hearts.
Fang Jing was also helpless and unintentional, causing this scene, she felt like she had created a sin in her heart, which was very unpleasant.
"Old Li Tou, don't go back today, stay at home for one night, and go back tomorrow." Fang Jing said to Lao Li, who was still standing by the ox cart.
"Little Brother Fang, it's still early, so I won't bother you, it's still urgent to rush back now." Lao Li Tou felt that time could rush back to the county seat.
"That's okay, then I won't keep you, you wait, I'll get you money, and by the way, help me bring me something for Aunt Hua, I'm sorry for you." After Fang Jing finished speaking, she turned around and went back to the house to get the money.
"Lao Litou, give, take this money, and help me bring these things to Aunt Hua, I'm sorry for you, I don't have food at home, I'm really sorry, I have to trouble you to buy some yourself when you pass by the town." Fang Jing handed Lao Li Tou a hundred dollars and returned a basket to Lao Li Tou.
The basket contained two preserved rabbits, the remaining preserved wild boar, a bamboo bucket of honey, some dried bamboo shoots, and some potatoes, and Fang Jing told Lao Li Tou how to eat them.
"Little Brother Fang, this ......." Lao Li Tou looked at the hundred dollars and wanted to say something.
"Listen to me, don't you have to trouble you to help carry something, I'm sorry for you, by the way, help me say hello to Aunt Hua." Fang Jing stopped Lao Li Tou from talking.
"That's okay, little brother Fang, thank you then, I will definitely bring things and words." Lao Li Tou drove the ox cart away, and Fang Jing accompanied Lao Li Tou to the big banyan tree.
Fang Jing saw some old women and some little dolls in the village at the big banyan tree, they all greeted Fang Jing, and Fang Jing also responded, and said hello casually.
On the way home, Fang Jing kept thinking about the situation in the village, although the food problem has been solved now, and the cooking will not be cut off, but the difference in the face of the people in the village is not comparable to Fang Jing's family, in fact, the main thing is the lack of meat, salt and oil, etc., without these, how good can the face be?
"What are you doing? Why don't you go into the yard, why don't you sit here and play? Fang Jing came home and saw a group of little babies sitting on the side of the road outside the yard, all of them looking at the rag dolls in their hands around Fang Yuan, all looking strange.
"Brother, brother." Fang Yuan came out of the encirclement of a group of little babies and ran to Fang Jing's side, holding Fang Jing's legs and holding a rag doll in his hand.
"What's going on? If you're not at home, why do you all run out and sit here? "Fang Jing really has a headache for this group of broken children, I don't know what they are doing, they don't stay at home, they have to be outside.
"Brother, Xiong Er snatched my doll just now, you see, the doll's clothes were torn by Xiong Er, and they were all dirty." Fang Yuan handed the rag doll to Fang Jing to look at.
"What? Xiong Er only bit a little, it's okay, you can wash it if it's dirty, it's still good, just don't let Xiong Er bite it in the future. Fang Jing looked at the rag doll, it was not a big deal, and comforted the little sister.
"Well, if you don't show Xiong Er in the future, if you bite my doll again, I'll hit it." Fang Jing looked at the little sister with a fierce expression and wanted to beat Xiong Er, and she was about to euphora Fang Jing to death, so she could still beat Xiong Er, she was on the same level as Xiong Er.
"Didn't you put a bell on Xiong Er's string?" Fang Jing didn't hear the bell at home, and it was estimated that she hadn't brought it to Xiong Er yet.
"Brother, I haven't skewered Xiong Er yet." Fang Yuan looked at Fang Jing and said.
"Okay, don't play outside the courtyard, go home and play, little sister, don't keep holding the rag doll, play with Xiaozhi, it won't be bad." Fang Jing looked at this doll Fang Yuan holding it alone, the eyes of several other villains were full of envy and begging, Fang Yuan is a solitary eater, it is really a little difficult to do, Fang Jing will feel that he should not give the doll to Fang Yuan, this is harming a group of people.
"Cousin Zhi, play with you for a while, don't break it." Fang Jing looked at the little sister's rare generosity.
Xiao Zhi hugged the rag doll, her face was full of smiles, her eyes were about to squint, she held the rag doll on her chest, looked at it and smiled, and then looked at it and smiled again.
Returning to the yard with a group of little dolls, my aunt was still making clothes and bedding, and my uncle helped Fang Dayong do some work, and Da Chu also helped.
Fang Jing took a hemp rope and dismantled it and kneaded it into a thinner one, then strung a bell and brought it to Xiong Er, Xiong Er felt very fun about things that could sound, sitting on the ground and touching it with his front foot from time to time, he was so happy that he couldn't do it, Fang Jing also squatted on the ground and watched Xiong Er play, it felt very fun.
"Uncle, aunt, uncle, come into the house." Fang Jing got up and walked towards the house, shouting to Chen Erlin and his wife and Fang Dayong, who were still busy.
Chen Erlin and his wife and Fang Dayong are also strange, why did they ask them to enter the house, is there something wrong? Put down your work and go inside.
"Uncle and Uncle Dayong, these copper coins were sold by wild boars, and they were sold for a total of sixty yuan, and I bought some things in the town, and it cost nearly six or seven yuan, and this is the rest." Fang Jing pointed to the money in the four baskets and said to the three of them.
But Chen Erlin and his wife didn't understand what they were talking about, Fang Dayong was even more strange, did he ask me to come in to show me copper coins?
"Uncle and Uncle Dayong, I think so, this wild boar is a trap between Dachu and the dog, so the money scores." Fang Jing's words surprised the three of them.
"Jing Wazi, this can't be done, without you, it would be impossible for the two little dolls to wear wild boars, let alone sell them for money, let alone divide the money." Fang Da used the first one to object.
"That's right, Jing Wazi, without you, where would there be a wild boar? The money is yours, not to mention the penny. Chen Erlin also agreed with Fang Dayong.
"Uncle and Uncle Dayong, it's like this, the sleeve is the two of them, I just teach, I didn't spend much effort, at most I resisted back, and then resisted to sell, so I want the money to be divided into three parts, so the dog baby should be divided into twenty dollars, twenty dollars at the beginning of the year, and I have twenty dollars, so it's fair." Fang Jing said that the money is divided into three parts, which is reasonable, at least it will not make people feel uncomfortable, not to mention that Fang Da's family is not as good as Fang Jing's family now.
"Jing Wazi, you can't do this, where did the two little babies get the ability, they are not your professors, they have only been studying for a few days?" Fang Dayong knew that if he wanted to hunt a big wild boar, he couldn't get it under a cover, and the hunters he had heard of in the past, which hunter could hunt casually.
"Uncle Dayong, listen to me, just do it, don't say it again, everything is fair, so you can feel at ease." Fang Jing settled down and didn't want to discuss it again.
"Little uncle and aunt, this money is kept by my aunt, and in the other basket is the money and copper that was sold last time, and there is a few pieces of money under the straw mat, which adds up to sixty yuan, which is enough for the family." Fang Jing filled a basket full of twenty yuan and took it out with both hands.
Don't look at the twenty yuan, this is nearly two hundred catties, ordinary people can't lift it, it takes two people to afford the twenty yuan.
"Uncle Dayong, are you going to your house with me or are you waiting here?" Fang Jing still asked Fang Dayong, and Fang Jing hoped that it would be best for Fang Dayong to go together.
"Jing Wazi, this is not appropriate." Fang Dayong is still opposed.
"Let's go, Uncle Dayong, you don't have to say it again, if you say it again, I won't teach dogs anymore in the future." Fang Jing was sometimes speechless, so she had to use threats to deal with this kind of thing that was too humane.
When he came to Fang Da's house with a basket containing copper coins, only Aunt Xiu's grandmother was there, and the other babies all went to Fang Jing's house to see the rag dolls.
"Jing Wazi, what are you doing here? Where did you get so many copper coins? The first thing Aunt Xiu saw was Fang Jing coming in with a basket of copper coins, and said in surprise.
"Aunt Xiu, this is the money from the sale of wild boars, divided into three parts, I, Dachu, and Dog Baby, each have twenty yuan, this is the money they hunted for the wild boars they hunted." Fang Jing put down the basket and said the general situation.
"Jing Wazi, this can't be helped, just the little doll of the dog baby, how can it be possible to trap the wild boar, you carry the copper coins back, our family can't accept these copper coins." After hearing this, Grandma asked Fang Jing to move the copper money back, but the dog baby didn't have the ability to trap the wild boar.
"Grandma, Aunt Xiu, Uncle Dayong also told me this just now, I don't want the two of us to have an accident because of twenty yuan of money, and you don't want me to teach the dog baby." Fang Jing used threats again to force them to accept them.
"Jing Wazi, this can't be done." Aunt Xiu also thinks that her dog baby has this ability, this is twenty yuan.
"Aunt Xiu, that's it, don't say it." After Fang Jing finished speaking, he went home.
Fang Jing, who returned home, moved the pottery jar to a good position, prepared to use it to hold water, and another pottery jar was spared, the newly bought hoe was much better than Fang Da's user, and he had to return the hoe in a while.
Fang Jing returned to the courtyard and saw that Fang Dayong had come back to work, Fang Jing couldn't hide things in his heart, so he thought about what Huang Meihua said in the county town and wanted to know more.
"Uncle Dayong, come and sit down for a rest, and say something by the way." Fang Jing felt that there was nothing wrong now, so he asked Fang Dayong to sit down and talk.
"Jing Wazi, you say." Fang Da had just divided twenty yuan of money, and he felt a little unconfident in his heart, feeling that he owed Fang Jing too much.
"Uncle Dayong, I want to know about my father, yesterday when I went to the county to sell wild boars, I met a shopkeeper of Huang Meihua, she told me some things about my father, so I want to ask Uncle Dayong what I knew about my father before, I want to ask." Fang Jing told Fang Jing about the county seat, but did not specifically say the cause of his father's death, mainly because it was estimated that Fang Dayong was not clear.
"Huh? Yellow plum blossoms? Isn't that Captain Wang's wife? Why is she in the county? "Fang Dayong is also strange, An Li said that Captain Wang's wife should be in Chang'an.
"Uncle Dayong, I heard that Aunt Hua said that her husband also died in battle, so she came to the county seat." Fang Jing said casually.
"Oh, no wonder, your father used to have the best relationship with Captain Wang, when we were recruited, we were all in the right army of the Qin Palace, at first it was just to transport grain and grass, and then we went to Puban, and then we returned to the right side of General Qin, but then I returned to Fangjia Village when my leg was gone, but your father was still under General Qin's account, and when your father came back, he also told me to be a guard under General Qin's account, and half of the people in Fangjia Village were General Qin's guards, but in the end, none of them came back, alas." Fang Dayong recalled some things.
"Uncle Dayong, do you know where my father was buried after he died in battle? And where are all those uncles in Fangjia Village buried in battle? Fang Jing wanted to know more.
"The soldiers who died in the battle were all buried nearby, and no monuments were erected, only some people with official status could be sent back to their hometowns, and those in Fangjia Village were basically buried on the spot, and after your father and some men in Fangjia Village died in battle, they should be cleaned up and buried collectively, and it is impossible to return them to their hometowns." Fang Dayong explained how to deal with the soldiers in the war after they were killed.
