Yun Zheng came over to borrow a firewood knife again, the old patriarch seemed to see Yun Zheng's thoughts, and lent him his own firewood knife with a smile, and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Young people have strength, as long as they are willing to work, they will not starve to death, the old man is going to the chief for a banquet today, and he will help you get your household registration, so that you will more or less always have a small piece of mountain land to plant, as long as you are diligent, you will soon be able to start a family." “

Yun Zheng thanked the old patriarch, and reported his name and Yun Jianqiang's name to the old patriarch, seeing that the old patriarch was silently reciting his memory over and over again, Yun Zheng found a small piece of wood, found carbon black, and wrote the names of his two brothers and handed them to the old patriarch.

"Are you literate?" The old patriarch was surprised for the first time, his mouth opened wide, snatched the firewood knife in Yun Zheng's hand and threw it into the bamboo basket casually, dragging Yun Zheng up to his own bamboo building.

Zi said: "Learn and learn from time to time, don't you also say?" Have friends come from afar, are you happy? People don't know and are not ashamed, aren't they also gentlemen? ”

Youzi said: "He is also a filial brother, and those who are good at offending are rare; Those who are not good at committing crimes and are good at making trouble, there is no such thing. A gentleman is a gentleman, and he is born from the beginning. Filial piety is also the foundation of benevolence! ”

Yun Zheng still knew about the "Analects", but he just wondered why the old patriarch had to shake his head when he read this tattered thread-bound book.

And what he read out was obviously incomprehensible to the old patriarch, but he showed an intoxicated expression like drinking wine, and shook his head with himself.

After being entangled by the old patriarch for a long time, seeing that the sun was climbing to the top of the mountain, Yun Zheng couldn't sit still, and arched his hand towards the old patriarch and said: "It's not early, the kid has to go to the mountains to chop wood, you also know that there is no overnight food at home, and if you don't chop wood, you will be hungry. ”

The old patriarch who was rummaging through the cabinets heard Yun Zheng's words, hahadaxiao got up, walked to Yun Ye with a big burden, and opened the burden with a cherished one, not knowing what was inside, but it was wrapped in several layers of printed blue cloth.

When a layer of blue cloth was opened, Yun Zheng sighed in surprise, there were no treasures in the baggage, there were just a few thread-bound books that had been rolled up at the corners, and the one on top was also the worst one, it was actually a "Tongshu", the so-called Tongshu was the Yellow Calendar, the ancients relied on this book to determine farming, hunting, traveling, marriage and funeral, etc., Yun Zheng picked it up and flipped two pages casually, found the corresponding time in the near future, and said to the old patriarch with a smile: "Today is an auspicious day, suitable for drinking banquets, marrying, Pray for blessings, the only bad thing is that there is a disaster of financial ruin, you should be careful. ”

Yun Zheng said this sentence to the old patriarch as a joke, he himself never believed in these things.

Who would have thought that the old patriarch jumped up, pointed to the mountain in the north and said a long paragraph in the local dialect, his expression was very excited, as a good hand at observing words and feelings, Yun Zheng felt a kind of anger from the obvious oppressive aura, the old guy was scolding! As for who Yun Ye scolds, he doesn't care, he is not scolding himself anyway.

The old patriarch scolded for a while before he slowed down, and Yun Zheng poured a glass of water from the clay pot next to him and gave it to the old patriarch to let him drink saliva to dissipate his anger.

"The old guy is black-hearted, the old guy will marry his daughter-in-law today, and he will naturally pick a good day for drinking and feasting, praying for blessings, and marrying, for us, it is a big day of breaking money, or the book is good, everything in the future must listen to the book, if anyone in the village dares to come nonsense, the old man discounts his dog legs, just say, for so many years, the village has raised all the daughters, all caused by their indiscriminate life."

Yun Zheng's eyes began to appear mosquito coils, and he couldn't figure out how he could have anything to do with giving birth to a boy or a girl without living according to the almanac.

"Baby, you will stay in the village in the future, read to everyone every day, as for the food you and your brother, every household in the village will have you to eat if you eat a bite, you are a reader, these books will be taken and read well, if you can be admitted to fame, our whole village will be stained, there is a child in Guangling Village in Nanshan, the old guy surnamed Zhou actually performed a shadow puppet show in the village for three days, the scenery.

Grandpa, I also want to invite the shadow puppet troupe, that is, the descendants in the village are not angry, and they are good at hunting in the mountains, but if they want to read and write, they have become mallets, and the good descendants who can kill the tiger will tremble when they pick up the pen, and they can't draw a circle for a long time, and they will be angry with the old man. “

Yun Zheng's shoulder and back were slapped by the old guy, what else is there to say, in one day, he changed from a child to a child, and then from a child to a baby, the old guy has become a grandfather, how can the grandson have anything else to say, not to mention that this grandson is still worried about what to eat tomorrow, in this state, the grandfather of the family is decided.

"Patriarch Grandpa, the kid has no problem studying, it is estimated that it is not a big problem to take the test for a child, as long as you give the boy a year and a half, I promise to go to the county to get a boy back for you, if there are more books for the kid to read, it should not be difficult to get back a show in three years."

Yun Zheng didn't believe it, his dignified liberal arts graduates, the process of taking the exam back then was not easier than the current exam, and he was also a fierce student who came out of thousands of troops, and it shouldn't be too difficult to take the exam now for a child who is equivalent to a junior high school student.

Yun Zheng's words made the old man's tears fall, and he grabbed Yun Zheng's hand and said: "Good doll, good doll, grandpa doesn't want you to stay in the village for the rest of your life, as long as you can write the place of origin on the scroll as Dousha County, Dousha Village Grandpa will be satisfied, and he will go to see his ancestors after he dies in the future, and he has something to say."

You are the seed of study, and your brother is also a wise child, and you brothers study hard, and even if the village smashes pots and sells iron, they will provide you with it, and from now on you will be the children of the village, and you will say the same to everyone. “

The old man cried a lot, but Zuihou said it so violently that he couldn't tolerate Yun Zheng's disobedience, which may be where the majesty of everyone lies.

Yun Zheng was afraid that others would ask him about his origins, now it's okay, the old patriarch has now issued this gag order, it is estimated that no one will dare to disobey it, the Great Song Dynasty is still a clan society, the old patriarch absolutely has the supreme right in the clan, his words are more effective than the strict punishment and strict law, he said that the two Yun Zheng brothers are children in the village, so these brothers are even from Dousha Village, and those who dare to ask questions will generally be put into the pig cage by the old patriarch and thrown into the waterhole, which sounds cruel, but this right has been extended until the end of the feudal dynasty.

The old patriarch wants to completely erase the previous shadow of the Yun Zheng brothers, in the old patriarch's opinion, they are all children, as long as everyone keeps telling him that he is a child of Dousha Village, he will become a person from Dousha Village after a long time.
