Dong Xiaoyi held the white-haired old lady and looked at the wasteland overgrown with weeds and trees in front of him, and tears came down. (The fastest update speed is all in the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info) The Dong family was originally a big family in Changguo, but when the boundary was sealed, the ancestral land could not be kept all of a sudden. His father only theorized a few sentences, ate a meal in the county, and died within two days of returning home. Seeing that his father died, his mother was sick, and the field was gone, he took his family to join the anti-Qing rebels in a fit of anger, and more than 20 years have passed, during which his wife and two sons have been interested in escaping the pursuit of the Qing army, and originally thought that he would never have the opportunity to have a piece of his own land in this life, but he suddenly followed the brigade to Dongning, and was immediately awarded the wasteland with an area of 30 acres in front of him.

"Son, is this land really ours?" The old mother squinted at this small territory with cloudy eyes, as if she still couldn't believe it. "You don't have to pay taxes for the first three years, and then the land tax for the next two years will be halved, and you don't have to pay the poll tax?" The old lady asked, Dong Xiaoyi answered, and suddenly the old man cried. "His father, our family is up again, his daughter-in-law, why didn't you live to see it today?"

"Mother, this is a festive day, don't cry, the future will be better." Dong Xiaoyi wiped his face indiscriminately, and then persuaded his mother with a crying voice. "Let's go home first, Yan'er estimates that she has already cleaned up the house, and when it starts tomorrow, her son will work hard to open up the land, and maybe he will be able to plant a crop of vegetables within the year."

There are a total of 26 families in Dong Xiaoyi's village, which happens to be the "A" of Dongning's basic unit, which is also a special arrangement of the builder, and even the house is a unified bamboo reinforced concrete prefabricated slab house, although it looks monotonous, but at this moment in Dong Xiaoyi's eyes is a dream paradise.

Back at home, the youngest daughter Dong Yan'er has already rearranged the house, speaking of which, when the Dong family came to Taiwan, they also had two clothes and a quilt, and other dishes, chopsticks, tables, chairs and cabinets were all issued by the officials.

But when Dong Xiaoyi returned home, there were already uninvited guests in the yard: "Yan'er, who are these people?" ”

"Auntie, father, you're back." Seeing her grandmother and father slowly moving back, Dong Yan'er immediately greeted her and introduced them one by one. "This is the aunt of the Li family next door, this is the sister of the first family of Xie Pai in the west of the village, this aunt." In fact, the A where the Dong family is located has not been filled, so far only half of them, one of the first long, two households moved from Tainan, and nine households are from Quanzhou, Xinghua and Malacca Shitai, as the so-called fate of thousands of miles to meet, so although there are some obstacles in communication, but the exchanges between each other are the first time. "These firewood and vegetables were all sent by Aunt Li."

"Why bother the township party." Dong Xiaoyi immediately thanked him, although he didn't know what he was talking about, but when he saw the action, several women who understood what was going on responded with a blessing.

"From now on, we will be neighbors, and we should take care of each other." Xie Paishou's wife said very heartily, but the chattering Hakka made Dong Xiaoyi speak like a chicken and a duck. "By the way, let's help the old man to the house to rest first."

Dong Xiaoyi barely understood a little, so he confessed, first helped his mother close to the house, and the old lady grabbed her son's person as soon as she sat down: "People send firewood and vegetables, but no matter what people have in mind, don't give people a look, it's not good to offend the neighbors, after all, we are just here." ”

"Speaking of which, even the rice is on credit from the government, and my son really doesn't know what people are plotting against us." Dong Xiaoyi smiled bitterly. "However, although the mother can rest assured, my son still knows these things"

As soon as Dong Xiaoyi came out of the house, Li Shen and the others were still around Dong Yan'er to comment, and when they saw Dong Xiaoyi walking out of the house again, Aunt Gao praised with a smile on her face: "Yan'er is diligent in his hands and feet, Brother Dong will be blessed in the future." ”

"The Li family, the Xie family, and the Gao family, they just moved in, what are you doing here?" Before Dong Xiaoyi could figure out what Aunt Gao was talking about, a voice rang out from outside the fence, and soon, a person pushed open the door of the courtyard and walked in. "Don't give me all the way home."

Like seeing a cat and a mouse, these women were busy running away, at this time Dong Xiaoyi saw clearly that the other party was the head of the family who picked up his family at the entrance of the village, so he was busy going over to see the ceremony, and listened to the head of the first in a kind of Nanzhili official dialect with a strong Hokkien accent said word by word: "Originally, the brothers only moved here today, and they shouldn't have come to disturb me, but when they passed by, they heard that you were lively here, so there were some things to explain." ”

Dong Xiaoyi, who finally understood what the first head said, hurriedly invited him into the main room to sit down, but the other party waved his hand: "No need, I don't have much to say, I'll leave after I finish explaining." ”

As he spoke, Jiashou swept Dong Yan'er, who was hurriedly hiding in the firewood room: "The police department wrote on your household license that the eldest niece will be fifteen years old in the New Year?" There is no marriage, right? I'm afraid those mothers-in-law are here for this. ”

Coming for Dong Yan'er? Dong Xiao was a little vague, so he listened to Jiashou continue: "There are many men and few women in this domain, and it is quite difficult to marry, they may have their own brothers or maiden brothers who have not yet married, so they want to take advantage of Brother Dong's first arrival to ask for a bargain, but the domain's own system does not allow them to come nonsense." ”

The first head stopped when he said this, and waited for Dong Xiaoyi to digest the meaning of the words before continuing: "Brother Dong is now a widower, and he has no heirs to inherit the family business, so according to the constitution of this domain, he can be recruited, but I don't know if Brother Dong has this meaning, if he has this meaning, then I will report it and pick a good guy for my brother in Quanbao or even Quanli." ”

Recruitment, of course, it is necessary to recruit duplication, otherwise this family business will not last long, but Dong Xiaoyi thought more, so he tentatively said: "The girl is still young, can this matter be said slowly?" ”

"According to the law of this domain, a woman must marry at the earliest fifteenth and seventeenth at the latest, if she does not marry within the time limit, the father and brother of the family will have to suffer a lawsuit, and the eldest niece will be seventeen after the New Year, but there is not much time limit." The first head stated plainly. "And my brother just got the land, it's not a trivial thing to get cooked, I think my brother is not young, find a helper early, pay off the official loan early, and reduce the interest a lot."

"The first head said very much, it's just that the Dong family has just come to Dongning, and the family doesn't have any savings, how did this dowry come from?" According to the rules of Fujian and Zhejiang at that time, if a woman did not have a rich dowry when she married, she would be discriminated against after marrying into her husband's family, so Dong Xiaoyi said so.

"Brother is confused, are you recruiting a daughter or a daughter, what dowry do you want to prepare?" The first head smiled and continued to torture Dong Xiaoyi's nerves with ugly official words. "And the rules of this domain, only pay attention to the man's dowry, not the woman's dowry, although the elder brother does not have so much input, but to repay the food money owed to the government must be more than enough, even the cost of setting up the table at that time is enough"

"Mother, that's what it's all about." After sending off the first head, Dong Xiaoyi went back to the house and reported to the old mother. "When the first head was leaving, he urged me to settle things as soon as possible, so that the neighbors would not get along well in the future, and my son thought about it, but he also asked his mother to decide."

China has always paid attention to early birth and early childbearing, and many children and grandchildren, such as the Book of Songs? Daya? There is a eulogy of "Thousands of blessings, hundreds of billions of children and grandchildren" in "Fake Music", so it is normal for women to get married at the age of thirteen, four, or five, and even child marriage is not uncommon, men and women get married at the age of seven or eight, and there is a reason why Dong Yan'er can delay until now.

"Yan'er is very good." The old man said quietly. "Although the man died before he got married, can the widow be taboo? And since you have made a promise, you should keep the festival, our family"

Dong Xiaoyi hurriedly interrupted the old lady's words: "Mother, my son also told the first head just now, but the first head said that there is a charter in Dongning, and the widow must remarry before the age of thirty-five, otherwise the elders of the husband's family and the mother's family will be caught in the official mansion and go to the flaile." ”

"What?" The old woman was stunned. "Won't you keep the feast?" Mrs. Dong is also the daughter of the Xiucai family, naturally she watched "The Legend of the Martyr" when she was a child, although she may not be willing to see the queen of the Dong family and her granddaughter lonely all her life, but it is still a little incredible. "Etiquette and morality are ignored, this is a bit crazy."

"Mother, you can't say that." Dong Xiaoyi looked around in a panic, naturally there was no ear for the wall. "Dongning is now hard to wear out with the Tartars, it seems that the war still has to be fought, what does the war depend on, or people, if you don't force marriage, can this person be conjured out of thin air?" Dong Xiaoyi said stupidly. "It's all this time, what kind of etiquette do you care!"

The old lady was silent, and then nodded: "Since the government has this law, we can't disobey it, but Yan'er, you should persuade you as a father, my hard-working granddaughter."

At this time, he heard the door suddenly bang, Dong Xiaoyi immediately looked back, and saw Dong Yan'er covering his face and running towards the firewood room in the west, he told his mother, and chased out, and saw his daughter crying like a tearful person in the firewood room.

"Yan'er, I've suffered you in the past few years." Dong Xiaoyi also had tears on his face. "But now it's okay, only one of us in this Jiajia is from Zhoushan, and no one will chew their tongues anymore, saying that you are a broom star, let's start again."

"Daddy!" Dong Yan'er suddenly threw herself into Dong Xiaoyi's arms and cried.

"Alright, alright, such a big man." Dong Xiaoyi touched his daughter's hair, his head was slightly raised, and through the small window in the firewood room, he saw the fading blue sky, as if he was persuading his daughter, and as if he was strengthening his confidence. "Don't cry, you'll get better"
