Chapter 14: Failure [Tomorrow's Resumption of Two Shifts]
"What about me?"
Bao Yin poked Qin Cang with her foot on the side of the bed.
"What?"
Qin Cang hadn't realized it yet.
"Why did you give two important positions to outsiders? Why don't you let me come? ”
Baoyin was unconvinced and said to Qin Cang in Tatar.
Over to you?
Qin Cang couldn't help but laugh and said, "To you?" Do you know how to farm, or can you teach? How do I give it to you? I couldn't keep them all in my hands, so I had to give them some unimportant positions to stabilize them for the time being. When our strength increases, these guys won't dare to mess with their backs. ”
"Then you can't just give it to someone else!" Bao Yin roared at Qin Cang unrelentingly!
Qin Cang covered his forehead.
"I'm telling you this, only Han people can cultivate land. To teach, you have to use Han Chinese characters, you ......" Qin Cang had to sit down and reason with Baoyin.
"Nope! Power is the most important thing for the patriarch! Absolutely not handed over! Bao Yin shook his head vigorously, and then asked Qin Cang to get those positions back.
The two of them quarreled in the house. Noisy to the excitement, Tatar girls will not be polite to you! Bao Yin picked up the scabbard at the head of the bed and smashed it at Qin Cang! Qin Cang was not convinced, and fought hand-to-hand with Baoyin, an annoying girl.
The noise from upstairs certainly reached downstairs.
Vibia got up from the bed uneasily with her money bag in her arms.
"Quiet. It's going to be fine. ”
Josu and Vibia slept in the same bed. Her delicate body was half-lifted and she took Vibia in her arms. At this moment, Qiao Su completely lost the weak aura of the day, and his face without a smile was full of calmness.
"Sleep."
......
Evening is always a time full of trickery and evil.
The Qiao clan people are now forced to scatter among the Qin clan. The ordinary people of the Qiao clan were quite satisfied with this, but many people like the little patriarch felt restrained. This is not just because there are many interracial women around, or Qiao Su is still there, they don't dare to be too presumptuous.
The most important thing is the existence of Qin Cang.
The presence of the Qin clan made them feel the pressure. The Qin clan had soldiers, but they were bare-handed. If the two clans clash, the Qiao clan is definitely the one who suffers.
Qiao Cheng and Qiao Antai invited each other to a party at home in the evening. In the end, Qiao Antai chose to go to Qiao Cheng's house to discuss important matters.
Qiao Cheng's family still has a lot of savings, so when Qiao Antai's house has empty beds, Qiao Cheng has already put out two porcelain teacups to entertain guests.
"Hehe, Brother Antai, come on, come on, the last bit of Longjing tea. Don't be disgusted! ”
Looking at the three or four floating tea leaves in the crystal clear teacup, Qiao Antai felt a lot calmer. He thought to himself, you old thing, why do you have money. Two or three leaves of tea, you might as well give me water.
"Hehe, Old Qiao's words are serious, and his words are serious...... How can Antai a scholar receive such a heavy gift! ”
Joan Tai habitually began to shirk.
But as soon as Qiao Antai said this, the atmosphere between the two people stagnated.
Qiao Cheng glared at Qiao Antai, angry! You're a poor scholar, but you really got to heaven for yourself? Aren't you unconvinced or what?
Qiao Antai was still stunned at first, but when he saw Qiao Cheng's face and smelled the smell of water in the teacup, he quickly said embarrassedly: "Old Qiao is angry!" Rest your anger! Antai ushered in the past and said that he was used to it......"
Of course, Qiao Cheng knew that Qiao Antai was used to it. But what do you mean by saying that to me?
"Forget it, put these trivialities aside in advance. Antai, what do you think that Qin kid wants to do today? and Su Niang, it's really getting worse day by day! She actually slept in the Qin family's room openly! It's really infuriating....."
Qiao Antai couldn't help but secretly despise in his heart. Most of the men in the clan praised Su Niang for her ability, and she contacted the Qin family as soon as she came, and if the two families tied the knot, the Qiao family would be stable. But Qiao Cheng was still opposed.
Qiao Antai couldn't help but reply: "Su Niang's trip is also a big sacrifice." If the Qin family wants to enslave my Qiao family like other barbarians, wouldn't it be a big bad thing? ”
Qiao Cheng blew his beard and glared, "Ethics can't be abolished!" ”
"Yes, yes...... You can't waste it......." Joanne wrapped her arms and retracted back into her chair.
Qiao Cheng took a sip of tea to moisten his mouth, and said angrily: "Su Niang is messing around, she should be expelled from the house and choose another family owner!" ”
After speaking, Qiao Cheng glanced at Qiao Antai again. The old boy sat in a chair, his eyes staring at the teacup motionlessly, as if he could see the flowers.
"It's a big matter, so I'll leave it for later." Qiao Antai saw that Qiao Cheng didn't speak, muttered for a while, and spit out such a sentence.
Qiao Cheng almost choked! There was nothing on his flushed face, from left to right, from top to bottom, that did not show annoyance.
"Ahem. Brother, let's be here today. For the time being, listen to the Qin family's son first, and then discuss. ”
Qiao Cheng and Qiao Antai's conversation broke up unhappily.
Qiao Cheng hoped that Qiao Antai would help him become the new head of the family, but Qiao Antai did not want to support Qiao Cheng, an old man.
What's more, Qiao Antai can also be regarded as a basket of history books, commenting on books and listening to a bunch of people, now that the knife is in Qin Cang's hands, Qiao Su is close to Qin Cang, so what can Qiao Cheng, an old man with empty connections, do?
Glaring back at Qiao Cheng's house, Qiao Antai suddenly felt a sense of happiness.
Old man, I still have a hand.
......
The smell of spring is beginning to fade.
"Hey! Oh my God! ”
"Hey! February and March! ”
......
No matter how many people have ghosts in their hearts, life still has to be passed.
Qin Cang, who had always had a headache with the food problem, had to rely on the meat he had saved before and the food brought by Qiao's family to survive for the time being. The current inventory will last for about three to four months. And if the daily food consumption is cut, the slaughter of some more livestock should last up to five months. In the sixth month, until the harvest month, you have to figure it out on your own.
Kerch has a Mediterranean climate, and although it is slightly arid, it is still dry in summer and rainy in winter.
It rained on the ground, and nameless rivers were left from the hills, mixing into the Kerch Strait here in Kerch.
In addition to cultivating the land, Qin Cang, with the help of Qiao Su, successfully persuaded the Qiao clan to break through Qiao Cheng's obstruction and start damming the upper reaches of this nameless river. The amount of water here is not bad, the surrounding vegetation is also dense, and there are some low trees by the river, which is just right to make a reservoir.
The days were not big, but the men were still sweating from the long hours of labor.
At noon, Qin Cang slaughtered cattle and sheep to reward these tired clansmen. It's not easy to survive, and if you can give a little more, you can give a little more. Qin Cang still knows this.
It's just that the scratches on Qin Cang's neck still can't be erased.
