Chapter 197: Door-to-door questioning

The news spread quickly, but it was not that anyone had the intention to go to Patriarch Cheng to say anything, almost everyone in these townships received the sweet potato dividend of Guo Zhanpeng's trip a few days ago, and now it is the time to be fresh, and all the good things in his mouth are Qi You.

When I got this news today, I naturally had to praise him for his goodness, praise him for his kindness, and read the township, but I didn't know that such words entering the ears of the old patriarch Cheng were tantamount to a slap in the face.

"He is a member of the Cheng family, and when several children in the clan arrived early to study, he didn't think about arranging one or two, but took care of the children of other families well! I didn't bother with him about worshipping my ancestors during the Chinese New Year, and I didn't personally invite a few elders to come to invite a few elders for such a big thing as getting married. Now he doesn't care about his juniors, I think he is confused as an official! ”

"Second uncle, don't say it! Qi You has suffered several times and has not seen you come out to administer justice to him, his heart is made of flesh, and it is not iron. A nephew of the old patriarch Cheng couldn't look past it, so he opened his mouth and replied.

"What's more, Qi You's official voice outside is good, many men in our township went to the official kiln to get high wages, the women's family set up stalls, and now there is a sweet potato field, although it is the Guo family's face, but who doesn't know that behind it is the meaning of spring return."

His daughter-in-law goes to set up a stall on the official kiln road every day, and there are dozens of hundreds of dollars a day, and there is a sweet potato field planted at home, and there is a lot of silver in a year, how many villagers like them are grateful in their hearts, but his uncle is like being lowered, and he is obviously afraid of Qi You, who is now the county master, and he has to stab a few words in the back.

When he said this, he was so angry that Old Patriarch Cheng slapped the table twice: "What are you talking about!" How well does he treat his family? How many points do you want to treat people with foreign surnames?! ”

"Your eldest brother's son is the same age as the third son of the Li family this year, but he hasn't even entered the door of the town's private school!"

The nephew pouted: "But it's also the money that the Li family gave out of themselves, and you said it as if Qi You gave it to someone." ”

"Besides, your grandson wants to go to the town, and he needs to have a place to live in the town, right?"

The two sentences made the old patriarch gasp: "You...... Get the hell out of here! You're a heartless person too! ”

These words were a little ugly, and the nephew immediately pulled his face: "Second uncle, don't be too obsessed!" insist on treating Qi You as an enemy, wait for you to offend people, but we will suffer, don't complain about our little ones who don't recognize you as a second uncle! ”

He scolded and opened the door, and simply left, saying as he walked: "We are all heartless!" ”

These words did not avoid people, and the walls of the house were not high, and the next few families could hear them clearly.

Standing on tiptoe and looking at the old patriarch who was so angry, several people around him looked at each other and whispered.

"Don't pay attention to him, this old man is crazy, and Qi You is also to blame."

"One from the Cheng family, one from the Liu family, the two old men are not small, and Qi You and Chun Gui have also been moldy for eight lifetimes."

"That is, if there is a Qi You like this in our clan, I will have to wake up laughing in my dreams."

……

The people around him were upset for Qi You's family, and the old man who was so angry that he was going back and forth in the courtyard became more and more angry the more he thought about it, and after a while, he suddenly paused, opened the courtyard door with a black face, and walked towards one place familiarly.

Behind them are many people who stretch their necks to watch, and they look at each other when they see this, not knowing what this old man is going to do......

On the other side, Zhigao drove a donkey cart, and after a while, he picked up Ah Zhen and her mother, and when she learned of Zhigao's intention, Aunt Cai was much calmer than Father Li, and immediately turned into the house and picked out the fresh sauce duck and a dried melon and fruit, and went to the Cai family patriarch to borrow the genealogy. After Xiaobao's father was gone, this household registration fell into the hands of Xiaobao's uncle, and now Cai's remarriage, it is inconvenient to come to the door, although there is no household registration, the genealogy can also be used.

Genealogy is an important thing, and as soon as the Cai family patriarch heard the reason, he immediately took it out and followed him into the donkey cart.

Xiaobao's father and Cai's family are in the same clan, even if Cai's family remarried, this child is still the Cai family, and now he has to take the children's exam, which is a major matter, counting it carefully, there are only two elderly children in the entire Caijia Village, and there are no more scholars in this generation, how can the Cai patriarch not be in a hurry?

At the beginning, he turned a blind eye to Cai's remarriage, and knew that there were some things that could not be brought to the table, but it was not easy to understand Cai's in the end, and Qi You, who was already a talent at the beginning, said on the side, he fulfilled the couple's wish.

But I didn't expect that such tolerance at the beginning would achieve the current situation.

Looking at it, except for the old acquaintances of the village chief Li Zheng of Xiaoliangshan, the villagers who are good friends with the current county lord Zhixing Qiyou, they are the only ones in the Cai family!

Xiaobao's future future is not uneasy!

After Patriarch Cai and Cai Zhen and her mother calmed down, they couldn't help the joy in their hearts.

"Ah Zhen is looking forward to coming out this day!"

Aunt Cai responded: "It's the patriarch who is generous. ”

Patriarch Cai shook his head: "Don't mention it, the days are lived by yourself, and you have to thank Qi You when you see it later!" ”

After a while, the donkey cart arrived at Xiaoliang Mountain.

Grandma Li came back from buying vegetables and learned that the two children were back, so she was going out to buy more and come back, and the donkey cart entered the yard, and Aunt Cai carried a lot of things in her hand and stopped the people.

"Old lady, don't be busy, I have brought a lot of sauce duck roast meat here, and fresh melons and fruits."

It's all a family, and Grandma Li is not polite: "It's still thoughtful!" ”

A group of people couldn't hide the smile on their faces, they hadn't seen Xiaobao and Zhiyuan for a long time, Aunt Cai was also thinking about it, looking over one by one, and then looking at Qi You sitting in front of the hall, she sighed: "Don't say anything if there are many aunts, Ah Zhen and my son-in-law have been taken care of by you in the town, if you can use them, don't hesitate!" ”

That being said, she went to the town several times, and her own daughter even used the girl, that is, she was busy every day when she returned to spring, and her daughter had already lived the life of the landlord's wife through her belly. Their family treats people sincerely, and they will only take this sentence as a kind word.

Sure enough, Qi You did not accept this thanks, and only talked about Xiaobao and Zhiyuan's current studies in detail.

Both children are smart, carefree in the past two years, open-minded, and hard-working, at this age can already faintly see the temperament.

The patriarch of the Cai family knew it at a glance, and his heart was even more excited and relieved.

Aunt Cai and Grandma Li have entered the kitchen to prepare lunch, leaving Father Li and Patriarch Cai, each taking out their household registration and genealogy, and after the two little servants have prepared the pen and ink, Qi You personally registered the household registration of the two children and the names of the elders of the three generations of their ancestors.

A small piece of paper, covered with small characters everywhere, was placed on the table to dry after writing, and the two large and small knots were put away by Qi You himself.

Father Li and Patriarch Cai watched from the sidelines, and they didn't dare to come out, for fear of disturbing something.

"If Zhiyuan and Xiaobao pass the children's life test, and people from the government come to check, grandpa and Patriarch Cai have a preparation, and I will say hello in advance."

The two nodded again and again: "Okay!" We're all clear. ”

And that's it.

Father Li was excited, so he left Patriarch Cai for dinner, and Patriarch Cai also had the heart to be with Qi You, so he naturally responded.

The two children went into the room on their own, leaving a few adults to talk from time to time.

The three of them had something to say, and the remaining one Li Zhigao was just waiting by the side, Qi You glanced everywhere, and when he saw this, he said: "Second Brother Li was about to go to the field when I came, and now the spring planting is over?" ”

Li Zhigao was suddenly named, stunned, and quickly nodded: "Our family has a few acres of land, and today is just to take a look at the fields." ”

Father Li smiled: "Look at the field water for a few days, this kid can go back to the town to carry milk for the spring girl." ”

"Now that the official kiln is opened, it is at the foot of our mountain, the mountain goods are timid, and they often come out to walk around, and they want to go up and talk to Chungui, I am afraid that the goods will not be delivered every other day."

Qi You waved his hand when he heard this: "It doesn't matter, the jerky in the shop can be made with ordinary meat." ”

At the beginning, Chungui asked Zhigao to send mountain goods every day, but in his selfish heart, he just wanted to save two leather jackets for him and Zhixing. Now that the money is enough, he and Zhixing have already returned, so don't want the mountain goods.

Seeing that Zhigao was only circling in this mountain now, Qi You had a trace of thought in his heart.

"Now that there are new people in the family, it is also convenient to go to the outskirts of the town to transport milk every day, but recently Ah Rong took Ah Ren and the young master of the Guo family to work on the new shop, I saw them running around all day long, about the lack of manpower, Second Brother Li is interested in going over to help?"

"New shop?" Zhigao was stunned at once, and Patriarch Cai opened his mouth when he heard it: "Spring return is going to open a branch shop?" ”

Qi You smiled lightly, and did not avoid speaking: "The difference between officials and businessmen, Sister Chun intends to retreat, so she asked Ah Rong and Ah Ren to go on a rampage by herself." ”

There is a distinction between officials and businessmen, but today's saint is also the most aware of the original album business between him and Zhixing Zhou Han, and also knows the hand-painted business of the Guo family in Chungui, the saint did not explicitly indicate that they can continue to do it, but they can't be too presumptuous to put it on the surface. Chungui's precautionary temperament naturally asked Ah Rong to go out and go on top.

Father Li showed joy after hearing this, but frowned again.

Although his family Zhigao is clever, he has never done any business, and Qi You intends to help when he hears this.

But thinking that the two grandsons have not yet landed, although Father Li is not very embarrassed, he also pulled his grandson and said: "This kid can't do business, but he is willing to do dirty work like his eldest brother, so let him run away, if it is useless, let Ah Rong not take care of me, an old man, and return him directly!" ”

Qi You didn't know the worries in this old man's heart, smiled, and said: "Grandpa, don't worry, Second Brother Li is clever and willing to endure hardships, and it is not a long-term solution to transport milk all the time, and it is best if there is a stable landing." ”

"Sister Chun must have agreed."

After these three or two sentences, Zhigao's path was set.

Patriarch Cai watched from the sidelines, feeling a little envious, and he had a good relationship with Qi You's family, and there were many good ways to go!

Near noon, a table of good dishes and good meals was laid down.

The chicken, duck and fish meat is more abundant than usual, but Aunt Cai and Grandma Li are not enough, and they are still thinking about adding a few more dishes.

It was Qi You who stopped him, and a table of talents sat down one after another.

As soon as I sat down, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps at the door, slightly mixed with a little scolding.

"How not to go? If you don't go to everyone else to be admitted to Xiucai, we don't know a single word in our own family! ”

"I'm not here for the reputation of our old Cheng family?!"
