Chapter 791: Joy and Sorrow
The day after tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, the old year will soon pass, and the new year is coming.
Saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new is a Chinese tradition. No, families of all sizes in Yongle Village are busy cleaning, posting murals, Spring Festival couplets, and the whole village is full of joy.
Because of Chen Fei's relationship, almost every family in the village has found an errand in Chen Ji's workshop, and over the past year, he has made a lot of money.
The villagers saved spare money, and life was naturally better, the children in the village were put on new clothes, and bacon was hung at the door of every house. This is something that everyone can't think of in previous years. In the future, relatives will look like they will have a lot of face.
Everything is attributed to the Chen family, so all the people in the village are grateful to the Chen family.
Chen Fei took the time to go around the place where his villagers were settled, and expressed his condolences to the living conditions of the villagers.
It's okay that Chen Fei didn't come, as soon as he came, he was surrounded by enthusiastic villagers, and everyone rushed to stuff something into Chen Fei's arms. It's not very valuable, but it's all a piece of the big guy's heart.
You must know that more than a year ago, these people were still living under the domination of the rulers as prisoners of war or slaves, but after coming to the Chen family for more than a year, they actually deeply experienced the feeling of "being a human being in two lives".
Here, they are no longer prisoners of war, they are no longer slaves, they are human beings, people who have equal rights with the citizens of the Tang Dynasty.
Their host family not only gave them generosity, did not beat or scold, but also arranged jobs for them, and gave them money when life was hard, which made these suffering people doubly moved, remembered and cherished the good of the Chen family more and more.
They are all bitter haha, there is nothing else but people who are good to them, they will remember it in their hearts for a lifetime and spend their lives to be grateful.
No, Chen Fei was surrounded by enthusiastic farmers as soon as he came, everyone pulled him and didn't let him go, the family stuffed a newly made clothes into his arms, the one stuffed a bundle of cabbage into his arms, and some people even stuffed eggs into his arms.
The egg was pushed by the crowd a few times and then shattered, making him dirty, and I don't know whether the person who stuffed the egg wanted to thank him or see him make a fool of himself.
Surrounded by everyone in the middle, Chen Fei was like a light boat floating in the angry waves, fragile and powerless.
You know, there are more than 700 households assigned to him! I don't know what Li Shimin has in mind, more than 700 households are almost equivalent to rebuilding a village.
Originally, there were only more than 100 households in Yongle Village, less than two white households, and the population was about 400 people, but now it is okay, the more than 700 households that came here, the population is more than 2,000 people, which is more than five times that of Yongle Village before, and you can build a smaller town.
With so many people surrounding Chen Fei, how do you want him to escape? It's good that you haven't been squeezed to death.
In the end, Chen Fei tried his best, and with his good talk, he finally broke out of the encirclement.
"It's crazy! I'm never going again! Chen Fei was messy and stumbled away, and people who didn't know thought what happened to him.........
After coming out of the resettlement place of the villagers, Chen Fei tidied up his clothes a little, walked around the village, and received a lot of praise from the villagers, and even a little kid ran up to him and handed him a small candy cube with snot bubbles.
In contrast, Chen Fei still likes the style of the villagers, he is so handsome, it would be good to praise himself more, it is a bit too much to use his hands and feet, and the style of the villagers is too strong, he can't accept it.
Swinging and swaying, Chen Fei suddenly found that there was a family in front of him who didn't seem to have Spring Festival couplets at the door, and there were no New Year's goods such as bacon hanging at the door, and even no one was seen in the yard.
"Isn't this the village chief's house? Why doesn't there be any taste of the New Year? Yes, it must be because of Yang Qingzheng. Speaking of Yang Qingzheng, Chen Fei shook his head regretfully.
A very capable young man, but because of jealousy, he embarked on a road of no return, he believes that if he didn't appear, Yang Qingzheng's life trajectory should be smooth, no matter how bad it is, it's no problem to mix up an official and a half-job.
It's a pity that the scenery that originally belonged to Yang Qingzheng was taken away by himself, which caused Yang Qingzheng to feel jealous, and his hatred for him became deeper and deeper, and finally ........
Chen Fei sighed, not knowing what to think in his heart. Do you blame yourself? He didn't do anything wrong, and even spoke for Yang Qingzheng and saved him from prison, but who could blame him for his own death later?
Although Yang Qingzheng doesn't like it very much, Chen Fei doesn't like it very much, but the village chief still takes good care of him, and it is still necessary to take a look at the living conditions of the old village chief without looking at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha.
The old man is getting older, and it must be very uncomfortable for his grandson to be missing.
Chen Fei stood at the door of the courtyard of the village chief's house and shouted a few times, the door of the inner room was pushed open, and a woman with a haggard face opened the door.
"Auntie, I'll come to see the village chief."
The woman is Yang Qingzheng's mother, obviously her spirit is not very good, most of them are worried about Yang Qingzheng.
"Father-in-law, he... He's not in a good state, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to see a guest......."
"Auntie, I'm not an outsider, not to mention that I have something to say when I see the old village chief, well... It's not a bad thing. ”
The woman's eyes lit up, and she stepped forward and asked, "What is it?" But what about righteousness? He's fine, isn't he? He must be fine, right? ”
Chen Fei smiled bitterly and shook his head. The woman's eyes dimmed for a moment, and she muttered to herself, with a tendency to go crazy. "How is that possible! My family is so upright and so smart, so filial, how can something happen? How could something happen? Who will hurt him? No one will hurt him, will they? Right? Right? ”
Chen Fei was grabbed and shaken by the woman, a little helpless. "Auntie, I don't mean to say that Brother Qingzheng had an accident, think, I heard that he made something wrong and was transferred to remote Lingnan by the prince, and there was no news in a short time, but I have already sent someone to look for his news, and I will definitely be able to bring back a letter after finding it!"
"What? It's true? The woman was overjoyed and anxious, and her tears flowed uncontrollably, and she was so excited that she did not know what to say.
"Bang!" The old village chief pushed the door, staggered out, stared at Chen Fei and said, "Really? Ah Fei, don't lie to me, I thought he was right... He messed with people he shouldn't have messed with, and he was ... Was..."
Chen Fei hurriedly helped the old village chief and comforted: "Don't be sad the old village chief, Qingzheng will be fine, I will notify you as soon as I find the news of him!" ”
"Good, good! Thank you so much! Be worshiped by the old man! ”
As he spoke, the old village chief was about to kneel. Chen Fei couldn't afford such a big gift from the village chief, so he hurriedly grabbed him, so that he could talk badly, and comforted him and the woman for a while, and only left when he saw that they were in a better mood.
"I don't know if it's right or wrong to talk to them like this today." Chen Fei sighed and shook his head and walked home.
Suddenly, his footsteps stopped, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a dark shadow......
