This woman is in her thirties and less than forty years old, and she still has a bit of a look, and at first glance she has seen only people in the world. When the woman saw Fu Lin and the others, she didn't shout or run away in a panic, the woman just looked at everyone, but she didn't take the initiative to talk, Zhao Yu saw the woman come out, and said: "Sister-in-law disturbed us is a passing businessman, because we are in a hurry to miss the accommodation, can we stay at the sister-in-law's house for one night and leave tomorrow." ”

The woman thought for a moment and said, "It's okay to spend the night, it's just that I need to discuss it with the master, you wait a while." With that, the woman went into the courtyard and went back to the house, Fu Lin thought that she must have discussed with the man, otherwise, she would be a woman's house, and she would take outsiders to the house, which is not good to say. After a while, Fu Lin saw the door open, and a man about forty-four or five years old came out, dressed in a gray robe, wearing a pair of cotton boots made by himself, about seven feet six inches tall, he was sturdy, and his facial features were upright. ”

Zhao Yu immediately said: "Yes sir, we are passing businessmen, we missed the accommodation due to the hurry, and we want to spend the night at your house, I wonder if it is convenient?" ”

"Okay guest, if you don't dislike it, then please come in the house!" The man said. "Thank you, sir, please come in!" Zhao Yu first thanked the male host, and then turned around and asked Fu Lin to come in.

Fu Lin nodded, and also smiled at the man, and then everyone entered the courtyard of this house. I saw that this courtyard can be forty square meters in size, and there are several grass houses in front, which looks like a main room and two side rooms, and one is a utility room or a firewood room.

"A few distinguished guests, the main room is occupied by a few of our families, and it just so happens that my relatives came to visit us today, and they live in this wing.

Therefore, tonight can only be wronged a few distinguished guests to live in that wing, although the conditions are difficult, but the area of this wing room is still very large, the bed is big enough, more than a dozen people can still live in a squeeze. The man said.

"Thanks, that's already good. What is your surname, sir?" Zhao Yu said. "My name is Jiang Xiong. Is there anything else you need? This Jiang Xiong asked.

Zhao Yu took out fifty dollars and said: "We are in a hurry and haven't eaten yet, I don't know if Mr. Jiang can prepare some food for us, I am grateful!" This is the money for your accommodation and meals. ”

"I can't help it, we happen to be eating too, if you don't dislike it, let's eat together! It's just that the area of that main house is limited, and I'm afraid that a few people can't all eat in the main room, you see? Jiang Xiong said embarrassedly.

"It's okay for me and the young master to go over, our family can just eat in this room, and we have to bother the head of the family, so we can send some food and drink for a dozen of us?" Zhao Yu said.

"Good! Come with me, both of you! After Jiang Xiong finished speaking, he took Fu Lin and Zhao Yu to the main room, and shouted as he walked: "Madam, prepare some more food and send it to the wing." ”

Crunch!

As soon as the door of the main room opened, the woman who had just come out of the main room again and said, "Yes! Boss. ”

"Two inside, please! Don't be surprised by the humble guests in the house. Jiang Xiong said. Fu Lin and the others followed Jiang Xiong into the main room, the first thing that caught their eyes was a small kitchen, there was an earthen stove built by the mountain village people themselves, on both sides was the place where the kitchen utensils were placed, and the two sides of the stove were connected to the two rooms on both sides, it turned out that this main house had three small rooms, and the middle was the kitchen, and there were two small bedrooms on both sides. There were two beds in the two rooms, and Jiang Xiong led Fu Lin and the two of them to the east room, only to see that this room could be more than 30 square meters in size, and the room was not small. However, due to the large number of people, it is very crowded.

"I'm sorry, there are relatives in the house today, and Mrs. took the children to the Westinghouse for dinner." Jiang Xiong said.

Fu Lin knew at a glance that this Jiang Xiong was either a big family, but now it is in decline, or he has worked as a nurse for a big family, and he knows a lot of rules. Fu Lin knows that there are many rules in this era, especially for people with status, when the male host eats or entertains guests, women and children are not allowed to serve on the table.

In fact, this rule of China has not changed until modern times. Fu Lin didn't care about this, so he said: "It's okay, it's okay, let's have a lively meal together." We don't have that many rules. ”

"When I saw that the guests were from the family, I was afraid that it would affect the guests' eating." Jiang Xiong said embarrassedly. Jiang Xiong said and let Fu Lin and Zhao Yu come to the table, in fact, they were from the mountain village, and they set up a few tables in the room. "Haha! The old gentleman was polite. Fu Lin sat down as he spoke.

At this time, Fu Lin looked at the people in this room, and saw that they were all this man's children or nephews. There are three boys and two girls, the eldest is only about twenty years old, and the youngest is a boy who is twelve or thirteen years old, but Fu Lin found that these children are not simple, because these children are not only not afraid of life, but also have kung fu on their bodies. ”

"Childe is good! Please have a meal. A twenty-two-three-year-old man said. Fu Lin took a closer look at this man, he was about seven feet eight inches tall, with good facial features, a strong body, and a dark complexion, this blackening was not a bad face, but the result of perennial sun exposure, Fu Lin thought that it might be the reason for hunting all year round. "Little brother, I'm not a few years older than you, just call me big brother." Fu Lin said with a smile.

"Really! You're so nice, big brother! The man said. As soon as Fu Lin asked him to call him brother, this man seemed to be much closer and natural. There were more words, so he said: "Let me introduce to my eldest brother, our family name is Jiang, this is Jiangjia Village in Fifty Miles, my father's name is Jiang Xiong, I am the eldest named Jiang Yong, this is the second sister is called Jiang Meng, and that is my third sister is called Jiang Shiyao." Those two are my cousins named Jiang Ling and Jiang Wei. Big brother eats. ”

"Huh! Eat, eat, eat! Oh! The meals were really good! Fu Lin listened to Jiang Yong's introduction, while looking at the food on the table, there were chicken, beef, mutton and coarse grain cakes, but I don't know what kind of grain it is made of, the meat is cooked whole, and then eaten one by one with a knife, dipped in salt.

"Childe laughed, these meats were sent to us by our old master's Miss Childe to subsidize the family." Jiang Xiong said.

Fu Lin only knew, so Fu Lin took the fifty yuan from Zhao Yu's hand and said, "Old man, this fifty yuan is our room and board money." Take it! ”

What else did Jiang Xiong say, but Fu Lin said: "Manly man, don't be such a mother-in-law, if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your children!" Take it! ”

"Yes! Master, my view of Gongzi is not pretentious. You take it! We ran out of food for the winter. Ay! Jiang said.

"Sir, tell me how the past few years have been? How are the people in your neighborhood living? Is farming enough to feed a family? Fu Lin asked.

"Childe won't lie to you. It's been a year since the past few years! In the past few years, there have been natural and man-made disasters from time to time, such as locust plagues and droughts.
