Chapter 51: The Anger of the Auntie
The village in spring is much more vibrant than in winter.
The endless farmland is full of tender green seedlings, and at this time, the young ladies and young men in the village are nervous.
When a peasant family marries a wife and marries a man, what they pay attention to is that they have a good hand and foot work, and they will know which family is good when they go to the ridge of the field.
The green seedlings are neat and straight, not to mention ingenious, they are also diligent; The staggering ones, don't look at them, either they are too ambitious, or they are clumsy and can't support their families in the future; As for those who are still in a hurry to plant seedlings, they must be able to lie down and never stand, eager to marry a servant and go home, the farm work is yours, the baby is yours, and even the rice has to be cooked by you! You can't get married.
Xie Jingyi rode a little donkey into the village, and from a distance, he saw the eldest aunt Xu walking around the edge of the field, carrying a jar of soup in her hand. Although the family is already wealthy and takes care of long-term labor, their family is still used to working by themselves, in Uncle Xie's words, what kind of farmer is it if they don't farm?
"Uncle, it's getting dark, why don't you go home yet?"
The eldest aunt turned her head when she heard the sound, and when she saw Xie Jingyi, she smiled mysteriously, and her mouth was full, Xie Jingyi followed her line of sight, and saw that in the field not far away, there was a little Langjun wearing a cyan coarse cloth and a short beat, he was looking at the field one by one, mending the seedlings.
Not all of these seedlings can survive, and some of them hurt their roots when they are planted, and when the sun shines, they die, so that they can be replenished in time for new seedlings.
Xie Jingyi glanced at the eldest aunt strangely, even if my eldest uncle is a little simpler, this red apricot came out of the wall and called his niece to look, isn't it kind?
The eldest aunt didn't pay attention, and said to Xie Jingyi, who jumped off the little donkey, "You are in the city, and you have seen a lot of people, help the eldest aunt take a look, how about the next life?" Although my family is not as wealthy as mine, according to my observation, he is a brisk person, and he has read and read. The most important thing is that his aunt has a soft personality and is easy to get along with. ”
"Is Xiaohua too young?"
Xie Xiaohua is only a few days older than Xie Jingyi, because she rarely calls her sister.
The eldest aunt smiled, "I've seen all the offspring of these four miles and eight towns, and he is quite suitable." Your uncle originally wanted to ask your father to help Xiaohua find one in the city, but after all, we are countrymen, and I am afraid that Xiaohua will be wronged. It's good right under my nose, I was wronged, and I raised my feet and went back to my parents' house. ”
"You don't know, this good offspring, if you don't grab it first, after this village, there will be no such shop."
Xie Jingyi smiled when she heard this, although the eldest aunt asked her opinion, she had already made up her mind for a long time.
"Auntie, you are sharp-eyed, and a village that knows the roots, is naturally the best."
The eldest aunt was even happier, "You think so too, right?" Oops, I'm telling you this, let's go back quickly, it's time for dinner. ”
Xie Jingyi nodded, walked side by side with the eldest uncle, and asked unintentionally, "Uncle, recently the people in the village have asked the court to borrow money to buy seedlings!" Our family has money, how many families do we give as a guarantee? ”
"Ah, the village says five households and one guarantee...... Oh, what's the matter with the old man, why don't you let Chai Yanei sit on the threshold, stain other people's clothes, and move a stool! The eldest aunt said, rushed over and glared at Uncle Xie.
Uncle Xie knocked on the soles of his shoes, "Go and go, they are all old men, what are you afraid of dirty." Isn't there a chair on that end? We're talking about it with a lot of energy! ”
Xie Jingyi walked to Xie Jingze's side speechlessly, and looked at Chai Youchen inquiringly, what is the ghost that does not disperse, this is it!
The last time the uncle's family was trembling, the restrained appearance is still vivid, and now they are all sitting on the threshold together.
However, Chai Youchen did not give her a look.
Just looked at Uncle Xie and asked, "How many households did Uncle give as a guarantee?" ”
When Xie Jingyi heard this question, he immediately pricked up his ears.
"The county lord called the village chief and said that five households would be guaranteed. I originally searched for five households, but there were a few families in the village who couldn't find a guarantor, and the village chief had no choice, so he gave us a share. ”
When the eldest aunt heard this, she became anxious, "Why didn't I hear you talk about who you gave to our family, isn't it Lao Sun's family?" ”
Uncle Xie sighed, "It's not Lao Sun's family!" ”
The eldest aunt put down the jar in her hand, rolled up her sleeves, and said through gritted teeth, "That's really my father, who gave me such a scoundrel." Lao Sun's family owes a butt of foreign debts, and everyone is looking for him to chop his hands, and now he has borrowed money from the government, but this seedling has been harvested, can he have the rest of the money? It has long been taken away by those who collect debts. ”
"Besides, I've just come back from the field, and their fields are sparsely populated, and I've just been snorting a few times, ruining things! This time, it was my family's Miao who dared to spoil it, and it was my family's house that collapsed! ”
Uncle Xie was told by her, and felt a little faceless, coughed and said, "There is not much money left and right, and the other families are not poor, so they must still have it." This old grandson's family is really not good, we will give him a cushion first, and we will always return it in the future. ”
The eldest aunt was completely angry at this moment, "Give it back to him?" Does he call you dad, or does he call me mom? I'll pay him back, the boss wants to marry a girl from the city, do you need a face? The second daughter-in-law is pregnant, so she can't be bitter about my eldest grandson, right? The third child wants to study, and the fourth child wants to get married...... I gave it back to him, but he called my grandmother and I didn't give it back to him! ”
"Ming'er, I took the bullwhip and went to guard the lazy man, if he doesn't farm well to repay the money, see if I don't smoke him!"
Not to mention Xie Jingyi, all the people present were shocked by the Xu family's Wang Baqi.
Although she has never read a book, she is gentle and generous on weekdays, and every time they come back, they kill chickens and sheep, and they are very enthusiastic. The two sons are also very willing to study, and this is the first time she has seen Xu's anger.
Xu Shi was angry, and when he saw that everyone stopped talking, his face softened slightly, "The eldest aunt is too angry, but she scares the three women?" This is really annoying, my family already has money to buy seedlings, and inexplicably forced us to borrow money, and we have to pay three points of profit in vain. Forget it, what's the deal with guaranteeing that irrelevant person now? ”
"Our village is quite wealthy. But the old Sun family, the mud really can't support the wall, a few years ago, he came to borrow money, your uncle is kind-hearted, lent it to him, what is the result? All of them were lost, and they haven't been returned yet. He had no intention of farming at all, thinking left and right, in winter, the village family begged for a mouthful of food, and starved to death. ”
In the last two years, no one in the village has wanted to interact with him. Now it's okay, someone has to pay back the money left and right, and he still doesn't work hard to make it? Whose money is not blown by the wind, I have that money, is it not good to buy calves? It's not that I said, the people who are rotten to the root will only get worse and worse, and they won't be good! ”
