Chapter 83: Zhao Dashan is sick
On the third day, Huang Xiaoyuniang went to Mrs. Huang's house in Dongzhuang, brought dried sweet potatoes to Mrs. Huang, and also brought a bag of candy, saying that it was for the four treasures. Grandma Huang, an old man who lives in her eldest son's house, also brought two boxes of snacks, and several people chatted and drank tea and talked all afternoon.
Within two days, I saw Zhao Dashan's mother start to invite Huanggang's Wang matchmaker and go to Huang Xiaoyu's house.
Mrs. Wang is not a local, and she didn't help anyone as a matchmaker at the beginning. and Wang Chongyang's family is their own family, and they fled to Huanggang to settle down. Because she can speak well and is a warm-hearted person, soon, several families in Huanggang began to ask her to protect the media.
The matchmaker she made had a very high success rate, and after getting married, she hugged the baby very quickly, everyone felt that this was a good sign, and she preferred to invite the matchmaker, she felt that being a matchmaker was handy, and she happily agreed.
The matchmaker invited by the Zhao family entered Huang Xiaoyu's house, and this matter spread out in Huanggang like a gust of wind.
Soon, Zhao Dachuan and Huang Xiaoyu's family affairs were decided.
This family matter was decided, and Zhao Dashan, who was twenty-two years old and had not yet said his relatives, was pushed to the forefront, and there was everything in a Zhuangzi. Some are purely boring, basking in the sun and eating melon seeds, some are red-eyed, there are all kinds of people, and they dare to say any kind of rumors.
Some people say that Zhao Dashan has been out of the sea for a few years and has money, so he can't look down on the girl in the countryside, and wants to go to Dongyang County to find a young lady from a big family.
As soon as he said this, everyone laughed, anyone can marry a rich lady? So the delicate lady fell into the ash heap with a piece of tofu, she couldn't shoot or blow it, and she had to be a bodhisattva when she married back.
If there is that mix, it is said that even if it is a bodhisattva, it is also willing, not to mention those pampered young ladies who are offered by the bodhisattva, it is worth it to sleep and die immediately, not to mention marrying back to be a daughter-in-law.
Some people also said that it was not because Zhao Dashan ran the boat to the dock and went to the Qinglou Chu Pavilion for a long time, and he got some unspeakable disease.
There are merchant ships coming and going in Nanshan Town every day, and there are two green buildings in a small Nanshan Town, not to mention those who are secretly prostituted and half-hidden.
When the boatman goes ashore, the first thing he does is to take a bath when he is full, and when he is full of food and drink, he washes his head and goes to the Qinglou to find the young lady, or to the half-closed door of the secret prostitute to find those cheap women. There is also the shipwright, the steward who rents a house here to raise his little wife.
The more you see and hear more, the more you know how hungry and thirsty those men who run the boat are, and how crazy they are when they go ashore.
Zhao Dashan is not a young boy and a half-grown child, he has come back from the boat at twenty-one, if you say that such a big young man has never sailed meat when he runs a boat, no one can believe it. Can you learn well from that group of shameless old boatmen?
It is also said that Dashan did not go to sea to meet pirates and was injured in the fight, doesn't it mean that the four of them have the money to go to Dongyang County to open a shop because they have merit and have been rewarded.
The credit of this running boat is not a small credit, when Huang Laohan carried back to the small owner's house, built four houses in Huangjiawan, and all the mountains were washed away, and people ran to Huanggang to build five more houses.
Huang Guigui is already married, Huang Delei is also discussing marriage, and Huang Deluo's mother is also asking matchmakers to watch each other. Only Zhao Dashan didn't move at all, and Zhao Dachuan first talked about his family affairs in front of his brother, which is obviously something!
Everyone's speculation is just whether Zhao Dashan has hurt the foundation of a man, and it is estimated that he will not be able to pass on the ancestry, so he doesn't want to harm the girl of a good family.
Rumors spread, like a gust of wind.
Soon, even Zhao Zhuang's grandparents and grandparents got the news.
In the spring, on the third day of the second lunar month, in the sound of firecrackers, the construction of Zhao Dashan's house began.
The blue bricks and black tiles brought by the big ship stopped at the Huanggang wharf.
Digging foundations, laying brick walls, and building roof beams and tiles, the two houses of the Zhao family were quickly erected at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Soon, the news that the Zhao family bought a piece of nearly 100 acres of beach land in the north of the town came out again. Those who had a little idea about Zhao Dachuan, a handsome posterity, but hesitated, regretted their bowels.
I knew that I should have come back in Zhao Dashan, so I came over and gave Zhao Dachuan a decision first. Zhao Dashan is all gone, and he will definitely count on his brother Zhao Dachuan in the future.
Huang Daniu's father, really a dishonest man, started so quickly and caught Zhao Dachuan, a big fish.
also had a heart ready to move, Zhao Dachuan couldn't compare to Zhao Dashan's ability, so it was better to tell his daughter directly to Zhao Dashan. If it is said that there is a problem, it may not be a real problem, after all, it is a rumor.
Besides, it's just that there is a problem, isn't that a person who is fine, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a tall figure. After Zhao Dachuan gave birth to a son, he raised one and came back, and the incense was no problem.
It's just that I don't know what's going on, the matchmaker has come to the door without a lot, Aunt Zhao is all the same, and the fortune teller said that Dashan should not get married early, and he has to wait for two years.
After talking too much, even Zhao Dashan herself believes a little that my family may really not be able to get married early. Marriage is not all predestined, the mountain must not have arrived. Aunt Zhao was miraculously relieved, and she was not in a hurry and began to prepare for the construction of the house.
As for the beach land bought, Aunt Zhao didn't worry about it at all, naturally Zhao Dachuan found someone to cook well, and Huang Dou also helped a lot during the period, and pulled her father to be a supervisor for a few days.
Not to mention, Huang Laosan is really willing to do these things, he does his best to help Zhao Dachuan, where to dig deep ditches, where to build high ridges.
Since Huang Laohan's family bought the beach land and transformed it into fertile land, it has given these people a lot of inspiration. Shoals can also be converted into fertile land, and the land is fertile and cheap.
It's just that the cost of renovation is too great, and the people who buy beach land are not enthusiastic.
Normal purchase, must be purchased according to a large area, because only a few tens or hundreds of acres of beach land can be able to dig ditches and embankments. Your family buys three acres of land and five acres of land, digs a drainage ditch, and builds a high ridge to block the water, and it will go down halfway, so it is better to buy a few acres of fertile land.
There are no convenient ditches, no raised dikes, and if there is a lot of rain in the year, no amount of crops will be enough to flood.
The average person has no purchasing power at all, and he cannot afford to take such a big risk. There is a large area of beach near the East Lake, and many people are eyeing it but dare not start, not because they are afraid that when the rain comes, there will be no harvest.
These large areas of tidal land are created by silting up during the rainy season every year, or they are inundated by the floodwater. Most of these places, let alone flooding, are easy to inundate if there is a little more rain.
The land bought by Zhao Dachuan was measured and calculated by Huang Dou himself, and finally Zhao Dashan made the decision, and Zhao Dachuan went to buy it. What soybeans can be sure of is that as long as it is not a flood, the land she chooses must be drought and flood to ensure harvest.
And the real flood usually occurs only once in a few decades. Decades of harvest are worth it even if they are submerged once, not to mention flooded, the next year it is still their own land, and they can continue to cultivate.
This kind of tidal land, because it is easy to be flooded, the most important thing is that it does not pay taxes and grain, which is very considerable.
Soybeans also gave Zhao Dachuan a guarantee that as long as he planted the land well, Soybeans could guarantee that the rice in his family's field could also become a good seed purchased by the county government. The county government doesn't want it, it sells it to the ordinary people, and the big squires can also grow grain.
As long as the gold-lettered signboard of the Huang family's grain cultivation does not fall, then Zhao Dachuan's land will not be worried about good crops.
Zhao Dachuan went back and learned the words of the soybeans to Mrs. Zhao as they were, and Mrs. Zhao happily hurriedly went to her husband Zhao Qin's tablet and put three sticks of incense.
Needless to say, Huang Dou must have said this for Zhao Dashan. Aunt Zhao knocked on the side, and did not put a word about soybeans out of Zhao Dashan's mouth. She only knew that her son liked soybeans, but she didn't know what soybeans thought of Zhao Dashan.
She also asked her second son to go to his brother to investigate, and asked Zhao Dachuan to care about his brother's lifelong affairs in the name of his brother. Zhao Dachuan has listened to Zhao Dashan since he was a child, and now he is looking forward to his eldest brother Zhao Dashan.
As soon as he entered his eldest brother's house, he directly betrayed his mother, saying that his mother asked him to inquire about the soybeans, whether they were concubines, or Zhao Dashan shaved his head and picked his head.
Zhao Dashan only said two words: "Wait." ”
It's not that he doesn't want to say it, he's afraid that it will spread out, and Yu Huangdou's reputation is not good. As long as it involves soybeans, don't talk about brothers, mothers.
Aunt Zhao, who couldn't find out the news, gave up and began to watch the family build a house intently.
In early spring, the temperature began to warm up, and Aunt Zhao was leading Zhao Xiaoyu to clean up in her new home. The brothers each built two large houses, the front yard and the back house, built a stove house, and reclaimed a vegetable field behind the house, and dug each other.
The front yard leads to the back house is a bluestone road, and half-foot-high flower walls are built on both sides of the road, whether it is to grow vegetables or flowers.
This is the most proud day that Aunt Zhao has lived for so many years. After Zhao Qin's death, how much suffering and how many sins the four of them suffered and how much they suffered, now they are finally bitter.
After the autumn, when the carpenter master finishes the furniture, this home will change even more.
Zhao Dashan and Zhao Dachuan's house has no drainage ditch in the middle, and the courtyard of the two houses is a wall, and a door is opened by the corridor.
This is also what Zhao Dashan requested, there will always be a bit of a trivial thing for the brothers to live together, so it is better to live separately. As soon as the door in the middle of the courtyard is opened, it is convenient for adults and children to come and go, no need to detour, and once the door is closed, they can pass their own way.
Aunt Zhao also thinks it's good, she has never seen that brother who can work together together, not noisy or noisy.
Huang Laohan's five sons separated when they got married, and each family lived its own life, not to mention quarrels, and the concubines never even saw their faces red. The house was washed away by the mudslide, and the family lived together and worked together, and now people are building houses and doing business, and cargo ships are parked at the dock, who has such a good family.
Thinking of Huang Laohan's family, Aunt Zhao thought of soybeans, and her heart was a little up, and she didn't know if her eldest son could get her wish.
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door outside, and Aunt Zhao asked while sorting out her clothes, "Who?" ”
As he spoke, he just walked to the front door and opened the front with his hand, and saw his father-in-law and mother-in-law standing outside the door, and there were seven or eight men with big shoulders and round waists standing behind his parents-in-law.
