Chapter 176: It's better to be in your hometown
As it turned out, Master Li did not guess wrong. It was not only Wang Fulin who almost ignored the birthday of the old lady Ruixu in Xu Village, Ye Junyao, the county magistrate, was indeed ignorant.
The 100-year-old birthday star in the future will still be sought after by people, not to mention the Ming Dynasty with an average life expectancy of at most forty or fifty. Therefore, the husband is one hundred and two years old, and the wife is one hundred and four years old, Xu Cun Rui couple, not only the glory of the entire She County and even Huizhou Mansion, but also very much in line with the values of Emperor Longqing's admiration for Rui couples, so last year, that is, in the third year of Longqing, the imperial court actually gave Shuangshou Chengenfang to the centenarian couple to give official titles to express their rewards. Because of this, almost all the leading figures in the Huizhou Mansion, from the officials to the gentry, prepared the corresponding birthday gifts, and personally or sent representatives to Xu Village to pay homage to the old lady Xu.
Ye Dacang originally jumped to the third class and six rooms with so many people, but no one remembered to remind him, but Wang Fulin and Master Li persuaded him, saying that there had been a lot of things recently, and everyone might not remember it, so he put down the big stick that he was planning to knock up and down. Of course, the most important reason is that Ye Mingyue had already prepared the birthday gift and longevity peach for his birthday, and he was only going to notify him in the evening, which also made him dumb.
Ye Xiaopang was very active, this time he hurriedly took the initiative to ask Ying to take on the heavy responsibility, Ye Dacang wanted to ask Master Li to accompany him to mention more, but when he thought that there was no one to help him, he thought about it, and ordered someone to investigate, and learned that there are many big families in Fucheng County, and some ladies took their ladies to meet Mrs. Xu Song, he thought that his daughter was thoughtful, so he simply asked his daughter to take Ye Xiaopang with him, and Master Li stayed for his helper.
Master Li has nothing to do with this, but Wang Fulin is a little hesitant to take his two younger sisters. I thought that Xu Village was forty miles northwest of Fucheng. If you want to go to pay homage, you either spend a night in Xucun, or simply stay in Songming Mountain for half a day. So, he made up his mind and took his two younger sisters and Campbell's autumn maple with him. Depart a day early and take this opportunity to return to Songming Mountain. Because considering the problem that his house is not big, he originally thought that he would simply go separately from Ye Mingyue and Ye Xiaopang's sister and brother, who knew that as soon as he heard that he could go to Songmingshan and stay overnight for a day, Ye Xiaopang immediately soaked his father.
Thereupon. Ye Cannon nodded, and Wang Fulin suddenly had to face a luxury lineup that was twice as large as the last time he killed Songmingshan.
Is this to give people a birthday greeting? How does this look like an autumn outing!
In the evening before leaving, he went to the ancestral house leased to the generals of the Qi family army in the county seat on a whim, and asked Qi Liang, but the former fierce general actually nodded. He also called two old men with convenient legs and feet to accompany him. Qi Liang, who was staring, didn't look vicious, and his honest face looked no different from ordinary villagers, but his name of the Qi family's army, Wang Fulin knew that there was no need to worry about the safety of this birthday team.
Cheng Naixuan didn't care about the luxurious lineup, he couldn't wait for the more people to go this time, as if all these people were escorting him, so as not to be bullied by his fiancΓ©e, of course, he raised his hands to welcome.
Wang Fulin's feet are swollen. Barely walking is not a problem, and you can only sit on a sliding pole along the way. It's just that, in view of the bad experience of sitting in a sedan chair before. He saw the opportunity and agreed with Qi Liang that when he returned to his injury, he would definitely go to learn to ride a horse with this person.
After the group arrived at Songming Mountain, the villagers learned that Wang Xiaoguan had returned, so they naturally gathered around to ask questions. They all rushed to vacate their houses for people to live in.
In the end, it was He Wei who came forward on behalf of Wang Daokun's father, Wang Liangbin. invited Ye Mingyue, Ye Xiaopang, Cheng Naixuan, Qi Liang and others to borrow Songyuan. As for Wang Fulin and Wang Erniang, Wang Xiaomei Jinbao Qiufeng, they politely refused to live in Songyuan. I chose to go back to my own home. After all, although the snail house is small and has all the organs, it is still your own old house, which is much more comfortable than living in someone else's house. Throwing himself down on the mottled paint in his room, which creaked when he moved, Wang Fulin rolled comfortably a few times. After a while, seeing a figure in front of the door, he lazily asked, "Who?" β
"Daddy."
"Petty officials."
Wang Fulin saw that it was Jinbao, and Qiu Feng was still followed behind, so he laughed: "How does it feel to return to the old mansion?" Is it too comfortable to live in the county back street, and feel that it is cramped and old? β
"No, no, it's good." Qiu Feng hurriedly shook his head, and when he found Wang Fulin sitting up and looking at him with interest, he whispered, "It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift." No matter how good the house in the city is, it belongs to someone else. β
Wang Fulin listened to this little guy even say a big truth, and immediately happy, and when he looked at Jinbao, Jinbao said: "I still think that Songming Mountain is good, clean and leisurely, not like the city, it is too chaotic." β
For Jinbao, who was only eight years old, he didn't understand those back-and-forth wrestling, and even being a double agent like Qiu Feng was absolutely incompetent, so he only felt that the city was too chaotic, and it was not as quiet as Songming Mountain. Of course, Qiu Feng couldn't agree with this, he and Jinbao were already very familiar, and he no longer had the funny jealousy he had before, so he showed a disapproving expression at this moment.
Wang Fulin didn't say who was right or wrong, he stood up with a smile and slapped everyone on the head, and then said: "It's rare to come back, after lunch, you guys will walk around the village, take a good turn, and relax!" β
The people who live in Songyuan are naturally responsible for lunch, and Wang Fulin came back suddenly, according to Wang Qi's plan, he originally wanted his wife to cook a big table, but Wang Fulin stopped the old servant and asked him to cook the freshly picked vegetables and fruits in the kitchen, as well as the eggs and pork sent by the neighbors from all over the country, etc., to make some hometown flavor. And although he carried a small packet of dried chili peppers with him, his plan to cook was snuffed out by Wang Qi, so he could only give up. As for Wang Erniang, pulling Wang Xiaomei to feed the chickens and pick vegetables for a long time, the silver bell-like laughter drifted in the wind, as if the haze had been washed away.
A meal is simple but comfortable, in the afternoon, Wang Erniang pulled Wang Xiaomei, and called Wang Qi to lead the way, but ran to the opposite Xixi South Village, looking for Songbo, who made sugar gourds, and I didn't know if I wanted to come back with a few sugar gourds. Jinbao wanted to go back to his abandoned house to have a look, Wang Fulin was not at ease, and asked Qiu Feng to go with him. Because everyone else is in Pine Garden. He took a nap in the afternoon, went out of his house, strolled on the ridges, and looked at the golden rice fields on both sides. I just feel in a good mood.
"Brother Lin!"
Hearing someone calling himself, Wang Fulin looked back, but saw that it was a villager he knew, so he called Fourth Brother Wang with a smile. The visitor came forward with a smile, and then asked embarrassedly: "I just want to ask, the rice has been harvested." Do you accept it or not? β
"Of course." Wang Fulin spit out these three words without thinking about it, and then added, "But this matter was initiated by me, but I didn't manage it alone, and I can only tell what price is what's offered." β
Seeing that Fourth Brother Wang was a little stunned. He squeezed his eyes and said: "However, Fourth Brother Wang, you have the best vegetables in your family, if you are willing, go back to the city to find me, and in the future, the Yexian family will buy vegetables, vegetables and fruits, and I will entrust someone to take care of you." β
Fourth Brother Wang originally muttered that Wang Fulin didn't take care of the villagers, but when he heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and after a while, he walked briskly.
In the end, it is Songming Mountain Village, where reading is popular. The appetite of the villagers is not too big, and it is easy to get away!
This small episode did not affect Wang Fulin's quite good mood at all. But the sprain on the foot is not healed. He stopped when he walked to the entrance of the village, sat on the big stone where Wang Dao was resting his clothes, and looked at Fengle River. Suddenly, he only felt that someone was patting him on the shoulder, and he suddenly turned around, only to find Xiao Bei, dressed in men's clothes, standing behind him. During the day. The little girl rode with the generals of the Qi family army, and now it looks like it at first glance. It's a little guy with clear eyebrows. He looked at it twice, and then suddenly asked, "What about the rabbit that caused me to sprain my foot?" β
Since picking up Ye Mingyue and coming back from Xiganshan. Later, he went to Shuixi Ten Temple with the sisters of the Wang family to "repay the vow", in fact, it was actually a play, Xiaobei has always avoided meeting Wang Fulin, not to mention according to Ye Mingyue's words, coming to apologize. At this time, she saw Wang Fulin by the Fengle River from a distance, and the ghost came over by a ghost, but after waking people up with a slap, she didn't know what to say. I thought that as soon as Wang Fulin opened his mouth, he either asked the teacher to complain that she didn't apologize, or he was playing tricks on himself like before, but he didn't expect people to ask the rabbit!
So, she simply said: "Eat!" β
"Eaten?" Wang Fulin raised his eyebrows, and then said slowly, "What about my half?" β
Xiaobei almost didn't bare out of his eyes suddenly: "That's what I hit, why do you have half of it?" β
"Just for the sake of you rabbit, my foot is sprained, and even if it is to apologize, you have to keep half of the loot for me, right? In short, if you eat it, you will give me another one, and then you will be clear! β
Seeing that Wang Fulin turned around after speaking, and continued to look at Fengle River in a daze, Xiaobei suddenly went crazy. She was going to reluctantly make a gift, but what kind of attitude did Wang Fulin have! She had carried him so far away! She stretched out her fist and waved it above his head as if demonstrating, but after all, she put it down discouragedly, and then said angrily: "Half of them have been eaten, and half of them are left, Sister-in-law Zhang said that they are smoked and dried to make bacon meat, if you want it, I will send it to you when I go back to the city!" β
"Yes, why not? It's just a tooth festival! β
Hmph, big foodie!
Hearing the footsteps behind him kicking away, Wang Fulin couldn't help but support his chin and laugh. The feeling of teasing this girl is similar to the feeling of provoking her two sisters.
This is a year when you can be promoted to be called an uncle in your twenties, so the idler Wang Er, who swims in the wild, has some things that he has to do behind his back, but he is different, with a fourteen-year-old skin, even if he does something out of the ordinary, at most he will be said to be young and frivolous. After working hard in the city for so many days, and now when he returned to Songming Mountain, he suddenly had an urge to forget his feelings and vent. So, he put two slaps to his mouth to make a trumpet shape, tore his throat and began to sing.
"The sun comes out, beaming with joy, picking up the flat shoulder, shining, going up the hill and shouting......"
Xiaobei, who had just walked to the entrance of the village, turned around suddenly, and saw that it was indeed Wang Xiaoxiucai who was tearing her throat and singing a strange tune, and she was immediately angry and funny. Gradually, other villagers from Songming Mountain came out at the entrance of the village when they heard the movement, and while probing their heads to look around, they were also smiling and pointing and talking. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but sweat for him, secretly thinking that this guy should not lose his reputation. But who would have thought that one of the middle-aged women would say something that made her almost stumble.
"In the end, it is a good reading book, and the lyrics sung are rough and catchy!"
Xiaobei was simply puzzled. Isn't this just some foul language, where is the word rough and catchy?
