Chapter 22: Success and Lively Dinner

In the past two years, Zhao Fuxiang and Li have been thinking about buying some more usable arable land to come back.

Land is a fixed asset, and it can be passed on more than gold, silver and jewelry.

Zhao Fuxiang rightly thinks that the more land the better.

However, in recent years, the land control in Shangwa Village has been very strict, and it is not easy to buy it even if it costs money.

Therefore, Zhao Fuxiang hit the idea to the clan land in the clan.

The clan land is also known as the ancestral land.

As the name suggests, it is the inheritance left by our ancestors to future generations.

Their Zhao clan also has a clan land.

This stems from the fact that forty years ago, when their Zhao clan fled, the old people in the clan scraped together some money for the sake of the ancestors and grandchildren of the clan, and bought a piece of hillside woodland of about 800 acres as clan land.

The main function of the clan land is to bury the dead clansmen in the clan and usually sell some wood as a source of funds for the clan, so as to maintain the daily operation of the entire Zhao clan.

For example, repair, ancestral hall, fill in the juniors in the clan who have just started a family.

The clan land was bought by their Zhao family from the county government at a great price.

The relevant title deeds were still in the hands of the patriarch of their Zhao clan.

In these years, some old people have been buried in the clan land and some wood has been cut, and it has also been used to reclaim some wasteland, which can still be moved now, almost about 500 acres.

Zhao Fuxiang wanted to buy about five acres of land from the 500 acres of clan land and directly open up the wasteland.

However, this is just said in their home, and they have not yet mentioned it to Zhao Furui.

Now that Zhao Fucheng has happened, although the reputation of the Zhao family is not very good, it will also affect their own life in Shangwa Village.

But for the family, it was a good opportunity to speak.

"This matter, you have to wait a little longer, right now, your Uncle Fury, you must have a headache."

is such a mess for no reason, and whoever changes it will have a headache.

Zhao Fuxiang also knew that now that with the favor that their father and son had just sold, even if Zhao Furui was dissatisfied in his heart, it was not easy to refuse on his face.

In the end, you can only choose to agree.

Who made their father and son count as the heroes who saved the Zhao family.

But only this time, after all, what they say now is that there is a meaning similar to a threat, and Zhao Furui is not a fool, and he will definitely be able to figure it out after pondering it.

And after thinking about it, if their family wants to ask Zhao Furui for anything in the future, there is this matter in Zhao Furui's heart, and with the impression of their family, I am afraid it will not be easy to do.

Therefore, there is no hurry to buy land, and it is not a one-shot deal, and if you don't have the benefits just given now, you have to repay the favor, and they can wait a little longer.

Zhao Fuxiang secretly pondered Zhao Furui in his heart.

As far as he knows, Zhao Furui, although he is a little selfish, is still fair, and he will definitely not do something ungrateful, even if this matter is released, there will be no change.

If they provide some help, perhaps, they don't need to bring it up, and the other party will satisfy them.

After all kinds of thoughts turned around, Zhao Fuxiang calculated all the advantages and disadvantages of this matter.

"I can't say for sure, we can still help a little, we don't have to worry about buying land, we can wait."

Zhao Shanlin didn't understand what Zhao Fuxiang meant when he said this.

But Zhao Shanlin knew that his father was the smartest person in their Zhao family, and the problems he could think of were definitely more comprehensive than him.

Now that his father has said this, there must be a reason for saying this, Zhao Shanlin chooses to believe it.

"Dad, listen to you."

"Well, that's good," Zhao Fuxiang nodded, pondered for a long time, and then spoke, "Your Fucheng uncle's matter, don't tell your family first, the children in the province have broken mouths, and they have a bad reputation in the past, your mother, you will know it, she has a strict mouth, it's okay." ”

Zhao Shanlin nodded yes.

Zhao Fuxiang explained to him, felt a little tired, waved his hand, and motioned to call him when he ate, and followed, Zhao Fuxiang tilted his head and squinted over.

The old and young masters of the family have all returned, and the Li family is busy again.

Take out a couple of clean stoneware pots from the wooden cabinet in the kitchen.

Li quickly brought out the fish head tofu soup that was still stewed in the iron pot.

The fragrance wafting towards him greeted him and filled Lee's mouth and nose.

Li took several sips to quench his hunger.

As a result, the craving is not solved, but makes the stomach rumble and make the person even hungrier.

Lee's ......

"The old family, the second family, the third family, call the grandfathers and children in the family, and come out to eat."

Li, who was holding a pot full of fish head tofu soup in his hand, stood in the courtyard and shouted, and followed into the main house.

In the next second, there was a sound inside the side houses on both sides of the courtyard.

Liu, Yuan, and Cheng, who had already returned to the room, hurriedly woke up the man lying on the kang and the child squatting on the ground, and pulled the big one to the door.

Yuan walked in front with Zhao Mingteng in his arms, followed by Zhao Yu and Zhao Xia, who were playing and making trouble, and finally Zhao Shanchuan, who was tired and had a sore back and legs after a day's work.

Stuffing Zhao Mingteng into Zhao Shanchuan's arms, Yuan instructed, "Son, take a good look at it, don't patronize yourself to eat." ”

As I said before, there are many Zhao family members, and the family style is simple, so it has always been a continuation of the tradition of female dependents not serving at the table, and male and female dependents sitting at separate tables.

Even if he married into the Zhao family for 32 years and gave birth to children for the old Zhao family, except for the New Year's holidays, the rest of the days can only take the female dependents of the family to eat in the kitchen.

This is the truest ancient patriarchal society.

Zhao Shanchuan nodded, although his body was really tired, but what Yuan told him was also listened to.

Zhao Mingteng is five years old this year, white and chubby, and he looks like a short man from a distance.

Putting dozens of pounds of weight in his arms is not something that ordinary people can bear.

Zhao Shanchuan hugged it while also turning it upside down by the way, the child had a good meal, and it seemed that he was fat again.

"Don't worry, I know."

"Well, go ahead."

Yuan's eyes were sharp, and when she saw Cheng coming out next door, she waved her hand and motioned for Zhao Shanchuan to leave with her son.

Zhao Shanchuan "whoosh", and ran out of Yuan's side like a gust of wind.

Yuan didn't care, called the sister duo who were playing behind him, and hurried to the kitchen.

Zhao Shanchuan took his son to the hall, Yuan took his two daughters to the kitchen, and the two went their separate ways in the courtyard, each going on both sides.

"You two hurry up, I don't know what your milk did today? This smell," Yuan quickly sniffed, looking intoxicated, "It smells so fragrant." ”

Just smelling it, saliva is about to run down.

Maybe it's stewed meat.

Meat!

After this word popped out of Yuan's head, it was difficult to get rid of it.

Yuan's eyes lit up, and he turned around and motioned for the two sisters Zhao Yu to leave quickly.

The last time I ate meat was two months ago, and it's been so long that I don't even know what meat tastes like now.

The mother and daughter went into the kitchen and found that the inside of the kitchen was more fragrant than the outside.

And this taste......

"Mother, it's so fragrant."

Zhao Xia stretched out her hand and quickly wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth.

Yuan naturally also smelled this seductive fragrance, she looked outside carefully, and after finding that there was no one, she quickly waved her hand and motioned for the two villains to go over, "Shh, don't talk, find a place to sit down first, and my mother will take a look." ”

After saying this, Yuan shrank back, and the bird quietly walked towards the iron pot with the lid on it.

The fragrance just came out of the pot, and there must be something good in it.

The closer he got to the iron pot, the brighter Yuan's eyes became, and even his breathing began to become rapid.

Zhao Yu......

Zhao Xia......

"The second one, what are you doing?"

"Bang-"

The hand that lifted the lid of the pot just half of the time fell, and Yuan was frightened, and the whole person sat directly on the ground.

"Mother, what, I didn't do anything, I didn't do anything," Yuan couldn't get up, and quickly turned his head and grinned, smiling with a weak face.

Li Shi had crossed his eyes and had a serious expression, and most of his body was still outside the door.

"Okay, hurry up," Li was too lazy to bother with Yuan.

Anyway, in her eyes, the Yuan family is unreliable, and the loss is the second daughter-in-law in the family, not the eldest daughter-in-law, otherwise the Li family will die of sorrow.

"The second one, bring out the fish soup in the pot, the rice is on the board, and you follow a piece of it."

Li wanted to see the chickens and pigs at home before eating, so he handed over the kitchen work to Yuan.

Yuan got up from the ground, rubbed his sore buttocks, and nodded quickly.

Li Shi let out a satisfied "um", retracted most of his body, and left directly.

Yuan Shi made a bitter face, craned her neck and looked out hard, and after making sure that Li was completely gone, she turned around, turned around and limped to continue to do the unfinished work before.

Lift the lid off the iron pan.

The fragrance, which was several times stronger than before, wafted out of the iron pot.

Yuan couldn't help but sniff and muttered as he served, "I thought it was stew, but it was actually fish soup." ”

Thinking of the fishy smell she had eaten before, Yuan frowned, and by the way, suppressed her appetite that had been aroused before.

Zhao Yu pulled Zhao Xia, and the two little girls were already obediently on the wooden bench.

On the small square table in front of him were tall tables, chopsticks and spoons.

Yuan smoothly put the fish soup on the table, and at the same time, put the wooden basin containing the rice aside.

Most of the meals cooked by the Li family were brought into the main house, and the remaining small part was left for them to eat.

So, don't look at the Yuan family put all the food on the table, the basin is not small, in fact, there are really not many meals in the basin, and it can be covered to the bottom.

There is only a lot of fish soup, but this is also because Li puts a lot of water, and there are not many pieces of fish and tofu in the fish soup.

If you eat these meals, you won't be hungry, but you won't be too full.
