Chapter 122 Helping the Township
After explaining that everyone who wanted to plant sweet potatoes went to the village chief's house to register, the people at the door of the house also dispersed one after another.
It is said that this has solved a difficult matter, and everyone should have a smile on their faces when they return to the spring, but in addition to adults, several children are all full of sadness, and the reason is that Zhiping's love to show his temperament is strange.
For a village of dozens of people, there are dozens of contracts.
At first, Chun Gui planned to go back to the town, and spent some money to ask the scholars in the town to copy it, but Zhiping, this little thing, was obedient, and he pulled his two brothers over to pat his chest and serve as the boss: "Sister-in-law, you can rest assured!" My brother isn't here, so we'll leave it to you! β
Chungui was afraid that a few children would not be able to stand it, and he was unwilling to give them this important task, so he refused. Chungui saw that he was so persistent, and he also intended to sharpen his temperament, so he agreed.
Xiaobao and Zhiyuan didn't notice anything at first, until Chungui smiled and divided a large stack of blank papers into his hands, and the faces of the two of them turned dark obviously, only Zhiping was still happy, one by one, "Give it to me!" "I'm my sister-in-law's good helper!" Then he threw himself at the table and started work.
The other two couldn't do anything, so they found a seat and sat down to do the coolies.
One or two are still strong, three or four are okay, five or six later, Chungui and Cai's deliberately glanced over, and sure enough, Zhiping buried his head on the table, his whole face was stupid.
The other two, though beads of sweat, were tougher than the boy, and they stopped to drink a few sips of tea when they had copied seven or eight copies.
Chungui held his chin and leisurely teased the little cub who was about to close his eyes and fall asleep: "Who shouted just now is my good helper!" β
Seeing that the cub woke up suddenly, looking at him with a sleepy face, Chun Gui shook his head funny: "Okay, go back and sleep for a while, you can't finish copying tomorrow." β
Zhiping came to his senses, looked at the blank stack in his hand, and sighed on the ground: "Sister-in-law, let's wait for me to be older, I'm still too young." "There is no shame in it.
Chun Gui was speechless for a while, and hurriedly drove him back to the room, but Xiaobao and Zhiyuan still stayed at the table, resting for a while and continuing to work.
Chungui looked at the straighten backs of the two children, couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips, and looked at Cai's side: "Sister Cai, these two children are hardworking. β
Cai's needlework, he also raised his eyes and looked at it, and said with relief: "No, you sleep in the front yard and don't know, these two children review their homework every day, and I don't go to sleep if I don't urge them." β
Chungui shook his head and sighed: "It seems that our Zhiping is not a study material. β
He is more than intelligent and energetic, but he does not put half of his homework on it, but is naturally dexterous in dealing with people, which is suitable for business.
Chungui said this to Cai, causing Cai's to glance at her.
"You're so worried, you've figured out the way forward for a few children!"
"What's the matter, I only thought of it by the way today." Chungui looked at the room where Zhiping slept, and rejoiced when he thought of the child's small appearance. This is the child she has been raising here for a year, among several children, Zhimin is introverted and precocious, although Zhixing is very arrogant, he often feels guilty about her in his heart, and he is squeamish in getting along with her to please her, not to mention Qi You, who is about to become half of her father. Only Zhiping, a child, retains her childishness because of her young age, and really regards her as an elder who can be coquettish wantonly, and she can't help but have more indulgence in her heart.
Cai: "Is this to make him take over your shop in the future?" β
Chungui shook his head and smiled lightly: "It doesn't matter if he is a businessman or something else, let him be, our family already has two talented and promising people, and he can be more wanton in the world." β
"Of course, it doesn't matter if Zhixing and Qi You come back at this moment, I think that our family will guard that shop, and we will be able to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of our lives, which is only enough."
Hearing the words, Cai's sighed again and again: "I've seen spoiled children, but I've never seen you spoiled like this." β
"The Liu family has won you, and I can recognize you, which can be regarded as a creation."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
The dozens of contracts couldn't be copied by the two children, and the two patted Zhiyuan and Xiaobao after speaking, and told them to take a nap, and they still had business in the afternoon.
In short, in the evening, dozens of people in the whole village went to the village chief's house one after another to report the letter, most of them reported three pieces of land in order to earn more silver, and there were also those who lost their youth and strength in the drought last year and could only report one or two pieces.
Of course, there is also a piece of land that cannot be reported.
When the spring returned to the village chief, Li Zheng and Liu Jiawang had already registered dozens of people in the village. When Liu Jiawang handed over the sorted booklet to the spring return, he mentioned three pieces of land and did not report it.
One is a single-family family with no children and no daughters, and has been supported by the village since he went to ancient times, and the other is a sixteen boy, whose father was seriously ill and died a year ago, and has been wandering after selling land for a funeral, hiding in the house and not going out.
The last one is Cheng Tianbao's family.
Speaking of Cheng Tianbao, everyone always thinks of Li Lan, and before Chun Hui could speak, Li Zheng said: "You love me to farm, he is a young man with hands and feet, if he doesn't report it, there may be another good way to go, so we don't have to delay them." β
After he finished speaking, everyone nodded with a cold face, and Chungui was too happy not to open his mouth when he saw this.
As for the old man's spring return, he had heard people mention it on weekdays, but the sixteen-year-old boy didn't pay attention.
Liu Jiawang smiled: "At that time, you were also in difficulty, busy every day, and I didn't know that there was such a person in the village." Sixteen is also an adult, and the village has no reason to support him. β
Qi You had a future to fight for at that time, the village chief gave him three taels of silver, and the others had nothing to say, but the person was one year old, and the second had no energy to study, that is, the village chief had a heart, and others were not very happy.
Chungui nodded, occasionally tilted her head, and saw Geng Rongzheng's unbearable appearance, she turned her head thoughtfully and continued:
"Brother Jiawang, only these three are not registered, and the others are all in the book, right?"
Liu Jiawang: "All of them are here, don't worry, one is in decline!" β
Chun Gui smiled on his face, accepted the booklet, thought about it and turned his head to look at Geng Rong: "Ah Rong has something to say?" β
Geng Rong was named, and after being stunned, he hurriedly raised his eyes: "...... Yes? I ......"
Everyone's eyes turned to this half-grown boy, and he saw that his face was red, but seeing that Chungui was not laughing, Geng Rong opened his mouth, hung his head and was silent for a moment, and then raised his head: "Sister Chun, our shop is doing just right now, there is me downstairs, and Brother Jiawang upstairs, but there is still a lack of a welcome guy......"
Halfway through speaking, he couldn't go on, as if he felt that he was too troubled, and hung his head in annoyance.
A few people, you look at you, I look at you, I think I know that Geng Rong wants to settle that kid.
The village chief did have the heart to take care of the single-family boy, but he also knew that Chungui had done enough for this village, and when he saw that she had fallen into deep thought, he wanted to come out and play a round: "This door to do business also pays attention to a faΓ§ade, if that kid can't afford it, and then spoil your business, he doesn't want to farm because he didn't have a father years ago, and now he is still sad and lives without thoughts, I will persuade him in a few days, and wait for him to open up and want to come." β
After he finished speaking, he saw that Chungui had already raised his eyebrows, and smiled lightly: "Our Ah Rong is right, why don't you listen to him, the village chief's grandfather, I bother you to go again, just say that my shop lacks a buddy, including food and accommodation, the monthly money is the same as Ah Rong, it is also four dollars, not like the rules of the Gaomen house, as long as the heart is good, then come!" β
As soon as these words fell, before others could react, Geng Rong was already full of smiles.
After he finished speaking, he felt that he was soft-spoken, and he didn't have any hope, but he was taken to heart by Sister Chun, and he suddenly felt that he had a lot of weight.
Chungui saw that he was smiling, and his heart was relieved.
She also has her own plans, one is to listen to what the village chief said, that kid is sad all day long because he has no father, and he wants to be a pure filial piety, such a person is real, and it is just right to put it in the shop; The second is that Geng Rong, the child, lives alone in the yard, although Qi You Zhixing treats him kindly, but he is not at home all day long, he has no peers to talk and do things together, and he is always bored for a long time.
As for the old man's old man......
Chungui thought for a while: "Grandpa, let's do it, now the village is not very satisfactory, and in the future, I will give five dollars of silver a month to support the old man." β
In just a moment, the old and the young were all arranged, and the few people around looked at Chun Gui and were speechless.
The village chief wiped his eyes and sighed, this child is so pure, the village only did Liu Quan's master for her, and she is still dedicated to the village at this moment.
"Kid...... If you say a lot, grandpa won't say anything, we will keep in mind how well you treated our village, and we can't forget it! β
The remaining few also looked at her with gratitude, looking at Chungui's face flushed, or Cai's came out to relieve her, and said with a smile: "Old village chief, elders, don't thank us so much, I'm embarrassed to thank you for returning to Chun Gui!" β
Everyone smiled kindly, and said no more, in short, this kindness has long been deeply left in their hearts.
The booklet has been sorted out, and the old and the young have also been arranged, and this matter has been completely solved. When they were leaving, Li Zheng also went out with them.
At the end of this day, Li Zheng was helping out a lot, and he hadn't said a few words with Chun Gui. With this gap, he asked Zhixing Qiyou about the recent situation, asked about the Chungui shop, and gave a few serious instructions. Chungui was moved, and at the same time, he also returned everywhere.
"Your aunt also talks about it from time to time, and when she just came out, she asked me to tell you, come to the house for dinner in the evening, are you free?"
Chun Gui hurriedly responded: "My aunt and uncle invite me together, how can I not be free, at Grandpa Li's house at noon, at Uncle Lizheng's house at night, anyway, I don't have to fire from my own place!" β
Li Zheng also smiled: "You kid, whether it's your Grandpa Li or me, it's like your own home, you can come whenever you want!" β
Chungui immediately smiled and said, "That uncle will talk to my aunt later, I want to eat the fish soup she made!" β
"Okay! Uncle will go and pick a big fish for you to slaughter! β
The two came from the end of the village, and while talking, they arrived at the door of Lizheng's house, Lizheng entered the courtyard, and Chun Gui and his party continued to walk forward.
Walking and walking, Li Zhigao in front of him was trotting over, holding a can of pickled bean skin in his hand.
Chun Gui was surprised: "Second Brother Li? What are you doing in such a hurry? β
Li Zhigao touched his head, still panting, and couldn't speak: "...... This is not... Grandpa said that you are going to start a gang by yourself at night, so he asked me to bring you the pickled bean skin! β
"I went over and saw your door closed, so I ran back."
Seeing that he was getting more and more like Li Zhicun, Chungui smiled and said: "A few children in the family are sleeping, and when the children wake up, Sister Cai will take them home and tell grandparents to rest assured." β
She took the jar of bean skin and pointed to the back: "In the evening, I took Zhiping Zhimin and Ah Rong to Uncle Lizheng's house for dinner, and this bean skin was just brought back to the town!" Second brother, remember to help me, thank you grandparents! β
Li Zhigao smiled and nodded: "Okay!" β
They were talking, but they didn't know that Li Zheng's daughter-in-law was looking from the window with a smile on her face, and while watching, she pulled Li Zheng, who had just entered the house, over to see: "What do you say about these two!" β
