Chapter 134: Homely
"Sir, I know, don't worry." Qian Shi opened his mouth to respond to Fang Jing, and then took the four people out of the courtyard, led the four horses, and headed towards the big banyan tree.
"Okay, the matter has been handled by the Qian Servants, you can rest assured, Daying, and bring us a few bowls of fruit stuffing." Fang Jing watched Qian Shi and them leave, turned around and sat on the chair, and shouted to Daying.
"Okay, Brother Jing, big brother, you come to help me." Daying responded to Fang Jing and called out to Da Chu and Da Tou to go over to help.
"Uncle, you can also sit down, drink a bowl of fruit stuffing, it's not a big deal, put your heart down, tomorrow your aunt and her second brother will come back, don't worry." Fang Jing said comfortingly to several women in the courtyard.
"Fang family elder, can my family really come back tomorrow? This is fifty yuan of money, our family can't afford to pay it, and God won't let us live this god. The old woman asked Fang Jing, and then kept wiping her tears, complaining, this is also the thinking of ordinary villagers, after what is a big deal, ask God, ask the villagers, ask the government, if it doesn't help, then you can only complain.
"Grandma, don't worry, things will be done, this Qian Shi turned out to be the guard of the Qin Palace, the local officials don't dare to offend, be relieved." Fang Jing looked at the old women, they were already in tears, and they had to bring out the identity of the money waiter to relieve them.
"Fang Family Chief, is this true? That Qian servant is really the guard of the former Qin Palace? Then Erlang can be saved, thank God, thank God. After listening to Fang Jing's words, the old woman hurriedly asked Fang Jing for confirmation, and after getting Fang Jing's nod, she wiped away her tears and bowed to the sky.
"Mother, sister-in-law and sister-in-law sit down and drink a bowl of fruit brew, you can rest assured that the second brother's affairs will be done, and the money will definitely be able to do it." Zhang Xiaoxia also knew the identity of the money servant, and at this time she handed a bowl of fruit brew to her mother.
Zhang Xiaoxia's mother's surname is Yu, also a native of Pingli County, Zhangjia Village and Yujia Village are in the northeast of the county, two or three days away from Fangjia Village, Zhang Xiaoxia's sister-in-law Duan Shufen, the second sister-in-law Yu Jiao, Yu Jiao and the old woman Yu are also relatives of the family, after marrying the Zhang family, it is considered to be a relative to each other, Zhang Yu and the two villages are relatively close, they are some Zhuang households, compared with the original Fangjia Village, slightly better, but not much better.
Fang Jing watched the three women sit down, and looked at the appearance of the three of them, just like the uncle's family at that time when they first came to Fang Jing's house, they were all dressed like beggars, two tattered gray cloth clothes, said to be as dirty as they wanted, and said that they were as broken as they wanted, wearing double broken straw shoes on their feet, their faces were yellow, compared with the Fang family, it was really indescribable, their faces were thin and withered, and their eyes were indefinite, no wonder the uncle's family did not go to Zhang Xiaoxia's mother's house at that time, Fang Jing understood in her heart.
"Grandma, you can relax and sit down and drink a bowl of fruit stuffing, you shouldn't have eaten and drunk anything for a day, Daying, go get some preserved fruits." Fang Jing called a few women to sit down and rest, and by the way, asked Daying to fill a plate of preserved fruits.
Usually the small things in the family, Fang Jing will be called Daying, Fang Jing thinks that the big and small things in this family should be taken by women, such as taking some things by Zhang Xiaoxia or Daying, mainly because there are many things in the right room, and it is not good to have a lot of people and hands, the money is managed by Zhang Xiaoxia, and the things that are eaten and drunk are in charge of Daying, although when usually cooking, Daying will also help, of course, there are some chickens, ducks, goose eggs and other things are also handed over to Daying to be in charge, which can be regarded as accompanying Daying, and when you get married in the future, it is easy to control the family.
Daying packed a large plate of preserved fruits, put it on the table, and called his grandmother and aunts to eat, Daying is very sensible, usually sometimes she is also a big sister who manages the little dolls, and the big head is a boy, and it is relatively skinny.
"Xiaoxia, is there enough food at home now? There are so many little dolls at home, but you have to calculate carefully, otherwise you will be hungry easily. Yu asked Zhang Xiaoxia.
"Mother, there is enough food at home, although the field planted is only a few acres, but it is enough to eat tightly." Zhang Xiaoxia responded to her mother, but she didn't dare to say more.
"Grandma, don't worry, the food at home is completely enough, and now the entire Fangjia Village has returned to the fiefdom of the original Qin Wangfu, and there is no need to pay taxes, just pay some grain accordingly, compared with other villages, it is relatively better." Fang Jing didn't dare to say that he didn't have to pay anything, otherwise people would have a kind of envy and sadness in their minds, so it was better to say less, just like Zhang Xiaoxia, although Chen Erlin's family had already entered Fangjia Village, this could be regarded as the Fang family.
"That's good, that's good, Xiaoxia, you are blessed now, when you come to Fangjia Village, you have to work hard in the future, don't be lazy, there are many dolls at home, you have to use some heart." After hearing this, although the three of the Yu family had a lot of envy in their hearts, they also knew the truth that half an old child eats a poor family.
"Mother, I remember." Zhang Xiaoxia also nodded in response, Zhang Xiaoxia has never been hungry for a day since she came to Fangjia Village, at the beginning, the basic meat meals were eaten, and the rest of the food and drink were not counted, and the clothes and shoes were basically in summer and winter, although they were only gray cloth clothes, which was much better than other villages.
"Xiaoxia, in the past two years, I have always received a message from you, and I have also received some dried bamboo shoots from you, my mother and mother are talking about you at home every day, thinking about whether you are doing well, and now I know that you are doing well, and everyone is happy for you." Zhang Xiaoxia's sister-in-law, Duan Shufen, told Zhang Xiaoxia about the situation in the past two years.
Although Fangjia Village is not very far from the two villages of Zhang Yu, it also takes two or three days to walk, and in this era, there are basically few Zhuang families who are willing to go far away, this can lie down in Fangjia Village for four or five days, but it is not possible, there are many things at home, and it is even more impossible to be busy with farming, and you have to weave linen and weave cloth in your spare time, which is basically impossible, and it is better to be close, and you can have a round trip in a day or two basically can still walk for half a year or a few months, but these four or five days of time, it is not that you can string relatives and relatives. This is not Fang Jing's previous life, there are roads for you to walk and cars for you to sit in, and most of the current Datang is wilderness and forests.
Fang Jing listened quietly to the words of a few women, and a few little babies on the side also sat quietly, eating a preserved fruit or drinking fruit stuffed from time to time.
As the saying goes, two women together are a thousand ducks, these four women are talking together, it is really a large group of ducks croaking, no wonder Fang Jing's people in his previous life described it like this, as far as the situation in front of him is concerned, Fang Jing feels that he is already invincible in gossip, from the elders to the peers, and then to the juniors.
"Xiaoxia, did you brew this fruit brew yourself? It tastes so good, too. Zhang Xiaoxia's second sister-in-law, Yu Jiao, finished drinking the fruit brew in the bowl and asked Zhang Xiaoxia.
"Second sister-in-law, this is not brewed by me, I don't have that much ability, this is made by Jing Wazi, it's delicious, right? It's delicious, I'll make you another bowl. Zhang Xiaoxia said to them.
"It's delicious, don't you have to call me, leave it to the little dolls to drink." Yu Jiao is also a real person, these delicious things are given to the little doll to drink, and the adults can explain the slander.
"It's okay, there are a lot of them at home, drink more if you want to, bring a tank back when you go back, give it to the dolls at home to drink, and take the donkey back by the way, there are many livestock at home, and it's not easy to raise." Fang Jing interjected.
"This can't be helped, it's a good thing for us to brew fruit, this donkey can't be wanted, this livestock is so precious, who can't be a treasure." Grandma Yu hurriedly stopped the matter of leading the two donkeys back.
"Grandma, it's not a big deal, I also knew about the situation in your family just now, it's not easy to do without a livestock at home, people are tired, don't say it, it's hard to work, take two donkeys back to help work, save worry and effort, our donkeys and horses are more, they are all afraid, just send some meat back when you die, it's not a big deal." Fang Jing explained to Grandma Yu's that the main reason is that there are too many livestock at home, and they are busy every day.
"Jing Wazi, this ......" Zhang Xiaoxia is not unwilling, who doesn't want her mother's family to live better, she used to send some dried bamboo shoots she made to her mother's family, but now she heard Fang Jing say that she sent two donkeys to her parents' family, and it was strange that Zhang Xiaoxia was not moved.
"Uncle, this matter is so decided, there are many donkeys and horses in the family, you see that the uncle is tired enough at the beginning, just keep two donkeys at home, or raise two more pigs next year, and there will still be some pork at home." Fang Jing stopped Zhang Xiaoxia from continuing.
"Okay, elders, say something, I should also go to prepare dinner, Dachu Daying, you come and help me." Fang Jing got up and walked to the stove, and by the way, called the three little babies to help together.
"Xiaoxia, this thing can't be helped, you also know this livestock, you can't do this." Grandma Yu said eagerly to Zhang Xiaoxia.
"Mother, that's it, listen to Jing Wazi, there are indeed a lot of livestock at home, and I can help you do some work when I go back, listen to Jing Wazi's about this." Zhang Xiaoxia was busy persuading her mother, but she knew the situation of her mother's family, not to mention ploughing cattle, not even a chicken.
"Alas, we came this time to ask you to borrow some money to save your second brother, but now it's a fruit brew and a donkey, and we help my mother to save your second brother, I don't know how to thank the Fang family, the Fang family's heart is kind, God will bless him." Yu's grandmother has to accept this gift, no matter what, this gift has to be accepted, this is what her family desperately needs, and this can't be reciprocated.
Fang Jing didn't know what to say outside, but he was concentrating on cooking at this time, the family made a few boxes of tofu a few days ago, and also made a lot of soy products, dried tofu, bean skin, yuba, etc., Fang Jing also tried to make a bucket of tempeh, although it can't be eaten yet, it is estimated that it will take half a month to be able to eat.
A fried tofu, a fried bacon with bean curd, a stuffed pork with bamboo shoots, a fried greens, and four large dishes on the square table.
"Let's eat, let's eat, don't be polite, just treat it as your own home." After Fang Jing loaded Fang Yuan's food, she shouted to start the meal.
"Fang family man, you can't be like this, this big white rice can't be wasted like this, don't eat this big white rice because we came to entertain us for a good life, this can be trampled on food, let's just drink a bowl of gruel." Grandma Yu looked at a bowl full of white rice and four large dishes, and looked at Fang Jing and said eagerly.
"Grandma, don't worry, this is just what we usually eat, the rice is enough, and there are only these four plates of dishes, but you can eat hard, it's okay, there is still food at home." Fang Jing knew that the Zhuang family used to drink bowls of gruel, and it was indeed unlikely that they would eat big white rice, but in their own home, they would only cook gruel and drink it when they wanted to.
