"Oh, uncle, I see," Qianyan said obediently.

But both Ye Feng and Ye Shi knew that in fact, she didn't really understand.

But that's fine, anyway, as long as you know that they will live together in the future. As for the rest, time will slowly teach her.

Ye Shi went to the field to pull out a few vegetables, cleaned them up on the ridge again, and then took Ye Feng and Qianyan home to cook lunch.

And just as they expected, Aunt Cha and especially the Ming family excitedly started the journey of spreading rumors in the village. Ming, in particular, was simply happy to do it, as if it was an extremely important task, and he couldn't even eat if he didn't complete it.

"Hey, you don't know yet, Chen Jixing's mother-in-law left Ye Feng behind, and said that it was her maiden relative."

"Who is Ye Feng?"

"It's the little flower who saved the girl of a thousand words. This Chen Jixing's family will be lively in the future. ”

"My mother's relatives, I don't look like it. But it's a coincidence, that little flower is also surnamed Ye, is it true? ”

"That's still false, I think it's true nine times out of ten, otherwise, you also try to change your surname?"

"I think your brain was kicked by a donkey, right? That mother-in-law is unwilling to change her surname, and the little Hanako is still unwilling to change? ”

"Whether it's a relative or not, I think that the mother-in-law surnamed Ye must have other thoughts. Otherwise, she would have such a good heart to help her relatives raise their son? You said that Chen Jixing is also true, why is he messing around with his mother-in-law? It seems that these two people really want their son to go crazy. ”

……

That's it, the blessing of Tuo Ming and Aunt Cha, oh, no, strictly speaking, it is the blessing of their two big mouths, but in a day or two, the entire Chenjia Village knows: The one who saved Qianyan a few days ago in the evening was not an outsider, but the child of a distant relative of Ye's mother's family.

According to the seniority, he is the younger brother of the Ye family.

What's more, this younger brother's family still seems to be in business, but half a year ago, his parents went out to buy, but they didn't know why there was no news as soon as they left, so they came to seek refuge in the Ye family.

Hearing this, most people just talk a few words and forget it, anyway, this matter has nothing to do with them. It was Fan, who raised the corners of his mouth after hearing this, and smiled on his face. It's just that the smile is a fake smile at first glance.

Because she knows better than anyone else that such words are lies when they hear them. That little Hanako has walked a long way at first glance, how can she be a maiden relative of the Ye family? As for the truth, then it really has to be broken down next time.

As the protagonists of these gossip, the Ye family naturally knows this, but the family doesn't bother to pay attention to it at all. Anyway, although the Ye family was not happy, he didn't want to stop those inappropriate words.

Therefore, when the Ye family travels every day, they all bring Ye Feng with them. Whether it's going to the lake to hunt pigweed, picking vegetables in the field, or playing with Qianyan.

This is what the Ye family wants, after all, when the villagers see her and Ye Feng together, they are no longer as weird as they were at the beginning. And most of the people had already begun to greet each other normally, as if Ye Feng hadn't just come, but as if he had been in this village all along.

I have to say that with this foreshadowing, the family's life has now returned to its former peace. A few days before the change, I had to accept the "attention salute" of the villagers at every turn, or try to explain.

If it weren't for the Ming family and Aunt Cha, it would not work without explanation, after all, everyone lives in the same village, and they don't see anyone when they look up. But to explain one by one, it is time-consuming and deliberate.

What's more, this news will naturally reach Chen Jifa's ears. Only when he nodded and agreed, could Ye Feng really stay and live.

Now, though, is not the time.

Wait for a few more days, and when the time is almost up, the Ye family will take Ye Feng to the village chief's house to sit down. Of course, there are also some gifts to cover your hands. In this way, the matter can be finalized.

Anyway, Ye Feng came to live at home, and it didn't involve the interests of any family in Chenjia Village, and he didn't eat any villagers' food, so it didn't matter who he was--- no matter how bad it was, Ye Feng still had the background of the rumored father and mother who was in business, maybe he would come back one day to recognize his relatives, and maybe he could thank Chenjia Village for taking him in.

So this time, Ye Feng really had to thank Aunt Cha and the Ming family.

Three days later, on the tenth day of Ye Feng's arrival at the Ye family.

After dinner, Ye Shi didn't know where to turn out a piece of fabric with white flowers on a black background. Ye Feng didn't study this, so he didn't know how much this fabric was worth.

However, looking at Chen Jixing's painful face, it is estimated that it is not bad.

Taking advantage of the fact that Ye and Chen Jixing went back to the house to talk, Ye Feng hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, this piece of cloth was not wide or long, and it was estimated that it was enough for an adult to make a set of clothes. Seeing that there was no one around, he also touched it, and it was not very smooth, but like the most ordinary fabric.

When the two of them came out of the house, they didn't know what they had discussed. Ye Feng saw that there was no obvious happiness or displeasure on Chen Jixing's face, so he pretended not to know.

Then, he prepared again, put the cloth in the basket, and picked up some eggs, Ye Shi pulled Qianyan and asked Ye Feng to follow behind, preparing to go to the village chief's house to "sit" at night.

Chen Jixing wanted to feed the pigs at home, and he guarded the house, so he didn't follow.

Anyway, it's safer to have someone at home to guard it. As the saying goes, a broken home is worth a lot. If you meet the black-hearted one, take advantage of the fact that no one at home comes to take a few bowls and a few drops of oil, in the end, it will be a loss---- there are more things to steal in the house, not to mention a few pigs and some chickens and ducks.

As a result, when he went out of the yard, he saw a few people going out of the door, and Chen Jixing didn't bother to close the door, but kicked it over, and the door slowly closed.

Although he held a melon scoop in his hand and closed the door with his feet, Ye Feng always felt that Chen Jixing was a little angry, and he should be reluctant to use this piece of fabric.

It's no wonder that as far as Ye Feng can see, Ye and Chen Jixing have a lot of patches on their clothes even if they are Qianyan, and Rao is like this, and the family is not willing to take out this piece of fabric to make clothes.

It's good now, but in order to be able to live in the name of righteousness, I gave up. As a result, Ye Feng felt more and more in his heart that he must be diligent and help with some housework, so that Chen Jixing could do the work in the field with peace of mind.

The people in the village go to bed early, because there is really no entertainment at night, and they don't seem to know what to do without sleeping. Moreover, everyone is reluctant to light oil lamps, which can save a little. In addition, after a tiring day in the field during the day, serving the chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs at home, I wish I could lie in bed early to rest and rest.

And most families wake up very early in the morning, so going to bed early seems to be a good choice, and it is no wonder that Yip chooses to travel at this time. During the day, there are many people, maybe she has just walked on the front foot, and the next moment, the news that she went to the village chief's house to give gifts will spread throughout the village.

A person who wants to save face like Chen Jifa naturally cares about this kind of thing very much. If there is really something unpleasant, it will be really self-defeating.

At this moment, except for the stars and moonlight in the sky, it is pitch black all around, and walking can only rely on experience and caution. Ye Feng thought in his heart that when the villagers of Chenjia Village became rich and had money, they must install street lamps at intervals on the side of the road.

This black light is blinding, and it is really inconvenient to walk at night.

As the three of them walked along the road, they listened to crickets, insects, and unknown birds hiding in the grass and chirping in the woods, adding to the sense of tranquility.

Qianyan wanted to take a closer look at what insects were chirping in the grass, so he deliberately slowed down. However, when the three of them got closer, the bug stopped chirping. When the three of them were far away, they started playing again.

This disappointed her.

The three of them hurried unhurriedly on the night road, occasionally saying a few words to break the uneasiness caused by the silence. Fortunately, most of the people are closed, even if they talk all the way, there are dogs barking, and no one comes out to explore anything.

Otherwise, it's really embarrassing.

I have to say that Chen Jixing's house is quite a long way away from Ye's house, and a few people walked for a while before they vaguely saw a light. When I came to an open field and climbed some steps, I finally arrived outside the village chief's house.

If it weren't for the fact that he was the party concerned, he would have to come, but Ye Feng was really reluctant to come. Not to mention the loss of a piece of fabric, Ye Feng dislikes this kind of scene the most.

It's not that he's high, and he really doesn't have the capital to be high now.

He just couldn't do it.

Qianyan seemed to be quite happy, and he ran over in a hurry, pulling the copper ring and knocking on the door a few times.

The village chief's house is really different, except for the tall courtyard walls and neat buildings, just looking at this door is different.

In the past few days, Ye Feng has followed Qianyan to a lot of places and seen a lot of doors. And the door of most people's homes is just like the Ye family, with a few thick wooden sticks nailed together horizontally and vertically, and the gap in the middle is finely woven with bamboo strips.

But if you look at the door of the village chief's house, it is made of solid wood, which looks quite heavy, and not only is it painted with a layer of varnish, but there are also two copper rings on the door.

It's a bit like the standard for a typical wealthy rural family in ancient times.

However, what made Ye Feng strange was that Qianyan had knocked several times, but no one came out to open the door for a long time.

It's a dark night, and it's unlikely that the whole family will go out. Coupled with the faint light coming through the crack in the door, it means that there must be someone in the room.

So, didn't they come at the right time?

Immediately after, Ye Feng seemed to feel a burst of panic inside. Because you can hear it through the door, there are hurried footsteps inside, and the sound of dishes colliding with them.

After a while, the village chief's wife, Ye, came out to open the door. She looked at Qianyan and Ye Feng with a smile, but she was actually a little unhappy in her heart. Without him, their family was finishing their meal, and it was a tooth sacrifice, and there were a lot of meat dishes.

Looking at Ye's expression, Ye Feng suddenly had a feeling of ruining other people's good deeds.

When she saw the bamboo basket in Ye's hand behind Qianyan, the village chief's wife was instantly more polite, and while busy letting a few people in, she said, "Big sister, it's you, come in." Yo, Qianyan is also there, this girl is really cuter the more she looks at it. ”

This big girl is not called in vain, she usually calls the women in the village like "whose mother-in-law" is like this. Although this big sister opened the difference between the Ye family and others, she never had any intention of being close, just because she herself was surnamed Ye.

At the end, she looked at Ye Feng again, but she didn't say a word, but there was a mysterious smile on her face, and she thought in her heart, "My man is really like a god." ”

A smug look.

Ye Feng was a little surprised by the richness of her facial expressions and the seamless connection between the changes in her expressions.

Compared with the so-called Hua Dan Xiaosheng and Miss Digital on the screen who look glamorous or handsome, but just blindly pretend to be zombie faces, stare and cut out pictures, the major film academies will pull her to be a visiting professor.

At Ye's level, he can throw off those Hua Dan Xiaosheng for several streets.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Ye Feng smelled the fragrance of vegetables in the air. If you smell it carefully, it still smells of meat.

Although I haven't tasted pork in more than a year, can I still not know the taste? He sniffed it carefully, it, it was still the garlic sprout fried meat that he loved very much! You know, garlic sprouts are fine, as long as they are not lazy, almost every household is more or less planted.

Although most of them are kept for garlic or given away, when you want to eat it, you can still pluck a few and eat it.

But this meat is rare, and there are really not many families who have extra money. Those who are willing to eat meat are even less.

Ye's heart immediately understood, no wonder he didn't call the door for a long time just now, obviously he didn't want a few people to share it together and didn't want to be embarrassed, so the panic just now was busy hiding the meat.

It seems that it is not the right time to meet someone's meal.

But there's no way, if you have to go so far, you have to walk back, you can't leave early.

No matter what, for this kind of behavior, Ye Feng expressed his understanding, if he didn't hide the meat, the Ye family would be fine, Ye Feng and Qianyan were two children. Whether the host family wants it or not, whether it is sincere or not, he always has to be polite and ask the two children if they eat it.

Ye Feng swore that he definitely didn't care about the so-called etiquette, he must have nodded immediately and ate it.

In this way, the dishes are hidden in advance, and this "crisis" is avoided. No one is wealthy, and Tibetan vegetables, especially meat dishes, must be "international practice" and "common practice" in the village, which is not rude.

Ye smiled at Chen Ji, who was leaning against the door frame and picking his teeth: "Village Elder, I think you have heard in the past few days that my mother's brother came to my house to seek refuge in me. He doesn't have to settle down, just live here for a while. When his father and mother came to him, he followed him back. So I'll take him to recognize the door tonight, and I hope that the village chief will have a convenient trip. ”

After speaking, Ye Shi beckoned to Ye Feng again: "This kid is really shy, say hello to the village chief and the village chief's wife." ”

No matter how reluctant he was, Ye Feng knew that this was someone's territory, so he looked shy, and shouted crisply, "Hello village chief, please take care of me", "Hello village chief's wife".

At the end, I made a salute.

The village chief's expression was quite apprehensive.

He wasn't in a hurry to reply to Ye's words, he just sat there and picked his teeth. It wasn't until Ye Feng greeted and saluted that he said with a smile: "This matter, it's not a big deal." I've heard about it for a long time. Since you don't have to settle down, you don't have to go out of your way to inform me. ”

Where is this is not a concern.

This is clearly embarrassing the Ye family, and by the way, blame her for not coming earlier. Now, it's spread all over the village, and even if he wants to pretend he doesn't know, it's impossible.

However, in Chen Jifa's view, the Ye family is a little unkind in doing so. Could it be that they came to them as soon as possible, and they would not agree? But no one in this village has a relative or something.

And if his relatives have lived in the village for a period of time or even longer, will he be able to drive people out?

Seeing this, the Ye family naturally knew his temper and tone, after all, they had lived together for many years. So I didn't get annoyed, I just smiled and didn't speak.

Ye Feng looked at him a little angrily, but unexpectedly saw that the village chief's wife standing beside her was also trying to glance at Chen Jifa.

If it weren't for the fear of embarrassment in the future, the difficulty of getting along, or causing trouble to Chen Jixing's family, Ye Feng really wanted to pick up the basket and leave. As Ye said, he didn't settle here anyway.

No matter what the rule, no matter what dynasty it is, it does not say that the younger brother is not allowed to live in the sister's house. Strictly speaking, he really can't control this matter. The Ye family just took care of his face before he came to go through this experience.

Chen Jifa naturally understands this truth.

It is estimated that Qiao is almost done, and after scolding his daughter-in-law for being "stupid" and "shallow-eyed" in his heart, Chen Jifa continued: "You came to inform me, which means that you still take me, the village chief, to heart." Okay, since it's a temporary stay, let's stay, I'll let everyone know if it's empty, you just have to rest assured. ”

He said to Ye Feng again: "If you need anything in the future, just tell me." ”

Ye Feng opened his mouth, barely pulled out an ugly smile, and saluted the village chief again: "In this way, thank you very much." ”

The village chief's wife smiled and said, "This kid is really polite." ”

After speaking, the village chief's wife, Ye Shi, said: "If you have something in the future, just come to the village chief, everyone is from the same village, all surnamed Chen, behind closed doors, they are all a family." She had already picked up the fabric and eggs in the basket, and handed the empty basket to Ye Shi as she spoke.

"Since it's a family, let's bring out the fried pork with garlic sprouts." Ye Feng rolled his eyes in his heart.

Whether it's sincere or not, but at least it's good. Therefore, Ye also put on a grateful look and chatted with Chen Jifa and his wife.

After another polite exchange, a few people left.

At this point, Ye Feng's identity and residence problems have been completely solved.

With the identity of the younger brother of the Ye family, Ye Feng officially lived in this family and settled in this time and space.

It's just that he just regards this place as his second home.

In his heart, the place where there are parents is the real hometown! No matter where they are, he will look for them.

Chen Jifa's efficiency is still very high.

The next day, the people in the village got the news from him that Ye Feng was going to live in Chenjia Village for a while. Although they had known about this for a long time, the meaning of Chen Jifa saying it himself was naturally different.

In other words, the village chief took the lead in acknowledging Ye Feng's identity.

Of course, some villagers don't believe it, but there is nothing they can do. After all, everyone has relatives, is it possible that if relatives come to visit relatives, they have to go to their hometown one by one to verify? Therefore, it is difficult for the villagers to say anything.

Moreover, the village chief came forward to declare it in person, and he didn't bother to deal with it. To put it bluntly, even if there are ten more maiden brothers in his Ye family, it doesn't matter to him.

But in their hearts, the mothers-in-law led by the Fan family can still vaguely guess Ye's purpose, to put it bluntly, they don't want to hope that Ye Feng can bring a good pregnancy and let her give birth to a son.

There are those who have given birth to a few daughters like Ye's, and they feel that Ye's doing this is understandable, after all, there is no male baby in the family who can't support the door. Over the years, they have suffered a lot from not having a son.

As for those who have sons, they are a little proud in their hearts, and at the same time they begin to despise the Ye family, who makes her unable to give birth!

After a period of life, and gradually getting acquainted with the villagers, Ye Feng gradually gained a deeper understanding of this time and space and this village.

This was a country that Ye Feng had never heard of, although the name was also Wei State, but it was not the Wei State in history that he was familiar with. In addition, it is now the third year of the Sun Dynasty, and the surname of the lord of the country is Wei, and he is known as Emperor Wei.

And this era is a typical agricultural era, the peasants basically rely on the weather for food, and there is simply no technical content in planting. Take Chenjia Village as an example, there are only two ploughing cattle in the whole village, and there is no way to talk about chemical fertilizers and planting technology.

From the perspective of climate, the location of Chenjia Village should be at the junction of the north and south of the country, so the climate is both north and south. According to the administrative plan, this village belongs to Qingshan Town, Qingshan County.

It's just that Chenjia Village has a special location, and compared with Qingshan Town, it is much closer to Qingshan County. And according to the villagers, prices in the county are cheaper than in the town, so many people are willing to go to the city to buy things rather than to go further afield.

In addition, in Chenjia Village alone, common crops such as corn, sweet potatoes, rice and potatoes are not peanuts.

After thinking about the ten peanuts in his brocade bag, it seems that peanuts are really rare, at least there are no here.

Since most of the villagers are relatively poor and basically struggle to make ends meet, except for a few families, most of the villagers rent farmland to live.

Therefore, in addition to paying the taxes prescribed by the imperial court, each family had to pay rent. Conscientious landlords are basically born out of six or four points of land. Those who have black hearts are actually three or seven or even two or eight points.

Naturally, 37 points means that the landlord receives seven and the tenant receives three. Twenty-eight points is simpler, the landlord takes eight, and the tenant takes two.

Therefore, after the taxation and exploitation of the landlords, the vast majority of tenants toiled all year round, and only barely made ends meet.

This made Ye Feng immediately think of the sentence "Come out of the land, and make every effort to enter". It is not difficult to understand why the peasant family surnamed Jiang in the article is willing to take the risk of catching poisonous snakes and exempting them from paying taxes.

Compared with the fierce taxes of the tiger, there is still a slight chance of winning by catching poisonous snakes.

The only thing that is more fortunate than other villages is that there is a natural freshwater lake at the entrance of Chenjia Village, that is, the lake that I accidentally fell into when I first entered the village.

Judging from the food during this period, there are occasionally fish and shrimp, which means that the villagers of this village can live better than other places just by relying on this lake: fish and shrimp and other foods can be produced in the lake, and more importantly, when there is a drought, the water in the lake can also be used for irrigation to alleviate the drought.

At the same time, the traffic situation in this village seems to be good overall.

To the west of the village, not far from Ye's house, is a so-called official road. For this reason, Ye Feng also went to take a look.

Although it is more than 108,000 miles worse than modern highways, it is spacious and flat. You know, the rest of the village is a dirt road with potholes. This official road may not reflect too many advantages on weekdays, but when it rains, its advantages are very obvious.

The general path must be full of mud and difficult to walk, but this official road is still very comfortable to walk, at least not full of mud.

There is an official road, which means that there are more possibilities for the outside world. In ancient times, transportation has always been a big problem. In some remote mountain villages, you can't get on the official road for a few days and nights, so how can you understand the outside world?

So, most people just follow the law of sunrise and sunset, and they may have thought about seeing the outside world.

But even if it's exciting outside, how do you get out?

Therefore, the slogan "To get rich, build roads first" is a truth in any era.
