Chapter 167: The Defense
Ten acres is not much, but it is actually a lot.
Except for a few people from the Zhao family who peeled peanuts at Chen Jixing's house, almost all the people in the village were dispatched. Rao is like this, after plowing all the ten acres of land, pouring boiling water, and spreading fertilizer, it is already five days later.
If it had been changed before, I knew that the Zhao family could not do dirty talking, just sit at home and peel peanuts, and Aunt Cha would definitely not do it. However, this time she did not complain at all.
Her reasons are very simple, one is that this longevity fruit is so precious, she is not at ease if she doesn't watch everyone get it right. Second, she naturally wants everyone to see that she is also capable of checking the fifth aunt.
When the peanuts are harvested, no one will say anything about her when she comes to the field to turn peanuts. She had only spent half a day to get so much money last time, and she hadn't spent it yet, and she was simply hit by a pie falling from the sky.
Seeing that the villagers were doing something so enthusiastically, the village chief felt comfortable in his heart. It seems that silver is the best way to unite people's hearts, or rather, everyone yearns for a good life.
In the past, when he distributed things to every household, it had never been so smooth. It seems that from now on he will have to change his approach.
After the big cow mother and a few people prepared the seeds, the village chief took several clan elders and some heroes into the ancestral hall to incense the ancestors. Since the purple Ganoderma lucidum grows here, the village has really been better every year.
Take the Yaya Township Kitchen, which was only established in the past two years, for example, in a short period of time, there have been rich families like Chen Jixing, Chen Jiwan and Chen Jiqin, who not only saved money, bought land, but also began to build new houses.
As for the other people who were driven by them, it was also good. Later, even an old bachelor like Chen Jitang also found employment opportunities, and now his net income is at least twenty taels a year, but it is better than many others.
Now, it's time to plant the everlasting fruit again. As long as nothing else, after this year, Chenjia Village will definitely become the richest village in the vicinity.
Thinking of this, Chen Jifa became more and more pious when he prayed, and his kowtow was also banging. Seeing this, several clan elders did not dare to slack off, and added some sesame oil and candles.
After doing this, I found someone to choose a good day nearby. According to the man, this day is an auspicious day for the heavens, and it is advisable to break ground and all things will be fine.
After all the preliminary preparations were completed, Chen Jixing took those experienced men to start digging the pit, and Ye took a few women to sow seeds. Everyone watched from the sidelines, for fear of missing any details.
Sooner or later, they will be able to grow this immortal fruit on their own, and now they will not have to study hard.
I originally thought that this golden and expensive immortal fruit would be difficult to serve, and the planting method would be different, but I didn't expect it to be so simple.
Seeing this, Aunt Cha said, "If you want to say that this is too simple, I will do it." Let's go and help sow the seeds. There are just a few of them, and I don't know when I'm going to plant them. ”
"Yes, if we plant it earlier, we will hope to harvest it sooner. I've heard from my man that it takes months for this fruit to ripen. ”
"Like you, I wish I could have a good harvest now."
"Yes, I have been envious of Chen Jixing's house for a long time. I asked myself if I didn't have the financial resources to build it like that, but it was still possible to build it like Chen Jida's family. ”
Several of the women were very positive, and their words were full of yearning for a better life in the future.
Master Cen in the city also came to see for a while. Hearing Aunt Cha say this, she thought in her heart with some disdain, what do you know, this is called complexity and simplicity. Just like some precious ingredients, the more precious they are, the easier the way they are cooked. Simply boil it in water and it's delicious.
When the village chief saw Master Cen, he walked up to greet him without hurrying, and then the two stood on the ridge to watch the villagers sow seeds. Now, Chenjia Village is no longer the Chenjia Village it used to be, especially after listening to the plans that Ye Feng told him before, the village chief is looking forward to it.
Therefore, now in front of Master Cen, he is not so honestly afraid.
When the longevity fruit is sold this autumn, whether Master Cen wants to come here to teach or not, they will renovate the house they are using now, and then there will be a clan study in Chenjia Village.
As for Master Cen, it doesn't matter at all whether he wants to come here from the city or not. There are many learned people in this city, as long as they are sincere and have a lot of money, and some people are willing to come.
Although there are as many as ten acres of land, due to the participation of the villagers, it was only planted in just three days.
Chen Jixing's family also has an acre of peanuts themselves, and Da Niu's mother and Zhao volunteered to help sow the seeds, and they were quickly planted.
Hearing Chen Jixing say that he didn't have to worry about anything in the future, just occasionally sprinkled some fertilizer, the villagers said: "Remember to call us next time you sprinkle fertilizer." They knew in their hearts that when the harvest came in the fall, each family would have to leave some seeds to plant for themselves.
I can't do it now if I don't learn the technology. And undoubtedly, Chen Jixing knows these tricks best. Learn from him, you can't go wrong.
In the face of the enthusiasm of the villagers, although Chen Jixing was a little overwhelmed, he still responded one by one. He didn't expect that he would become a technical director.
However, what surprised Chen Jixing's family even more was still to come.
A few days later, when they went out for a walk, they found that the ten acres of land were all fenced around, and they didn't know whose masterpiece it was, or whether it was the crystallization of everyone's wisdom.
In comparison, Chen Jixing's land seems to be very unimportant.
In the following days, when the villagers were fine, they would go around the ten acres of land to see if there were any livestock to spoil the land, and by the way, to see what the immortal fruit would look like after it grew.
As a result, they didn't find the livestock destroyed in the field, nor did they find the sprouted longevity fruit, but they found a naughty child, who checked the heart of the fifth aunt, Chen Yuang.
Since he was persuaded to retire from the academy in the city, he has been doing nothing all day long, stealing chickens and dogs with a group of boys, which is very disgusting. It's good to fight these elder-growing ideas now.
No one will agree!
The first to notice Cha Yuang's strange appearance was Fan. She got up early and walked around the ground with the soles of her shoes, only to find a little bit squatting in the ground and digging something with her hands. After thinking about it, I understood that this child actually used this way to steal the fruit of longevity.
After thinking about it, if she shouted loudly, Aunt Cha would definitely hate her, so it was better to leave quietly and pretend not to know. While walking back, Fan Shi thought that he had cleared up the relationship, but it was not a way for him to go on like this, and he had to stop it.
She was looking forward to it, looking forward to the autumn money to improve the living conditions of her family.
Thinking of this, Fan had an idea in her heart, she knew that someone would come here every morning like him. When the time comes, it's just a matter of saying hello.
Sure enough, as soon as she walked a few steps, she saw that Da Niu's mother also came.
Seeing this, Fan hurriedly responded, said hello, and then said: "This will be a good air, and it will be good to change your mood." I just saw some of the longevity fruits sprouting. It's tender, green, and very cute. ”
Anyway, Da Niu's mother is not afraid of heaven and earth, even the village chief dares to scare, and Aunt Cha is nothing in front of her. As long as she finds out, then Chen Yuang will be completely finished.
When Da Niu's mother heard this, she immediately came to her senses and asked excitedly: "Really, then I have to go and see, if I want to say that I haven't seen it yet, I don't know what it looks like." ”
After saying that, Da Niu Ma ran towards the peanut field.
It's just that she didn't see the tender green peanut seedlings that Fan said, but found Chen Yuang who was concentrating on shaving peanuts in the field with his head down.
Seeing that he actually stuffed it into his mouth while shaving, Da Niu's mother was so angry that she scolded when she opened her mouth: "Chen Yuang, you stop me." Alas, you are not small, you dare to come to the field to cut the long fruit. ”
Behind Da Niu's mother, many villagers came around one after another, and when they heard her shouting, they all gathered around. When it came time to figure out what was going on, everyone was furious. This is everyone's hope, and he can't let him destroy it.
was yelled at by the big cow's mother, and Chen Yuang, who was so frightened, ran away. Seeing him trampling on the ground, the men became even more angry, and at the same time they were glad that the immortal fruit was buried in the ground, but fortunately it had not yet sprouted.
Otherwise, I don't know what he will be ruined.
So, everyone took action one after another, and caught him by dividing him by two, and took him directly to Aunt Cha's house. Anyway, everyone has seen this, so he can't help it. Besides, the villagers didn't want to do anything, they just wanted Aunt Cha to discipline them well, so that nothing like this would happen again.
Aunt Cha was making breakfast at home, and she was in a hurry to steam the thick noodles and steamed buns, so that the eldest child could go to school as soon as she ate. Although she was expelled from the academy in the city, she repeated her old tricks, crying and kowtowing, so she finally found an academy for Chen Yuxuan in the town.
As for Chen Yuang, she felt that she really didn't have the energy to take care of it, so let him go. When you reach the age, marry a daughter-in-law and let the daughter-in-law take care of it herself.
To be honest, she was also curious about what those immortal fruits would look like when they sprouted. So I thought about it after breakfast and went to have a look.
In fact, Chen Jixing had already told the villagers that it would take ten days for the longevity fruit to sprout. However, everyone went around every day, not because they didn't believe it, but because they wanted to be the first to discover the germination of the immortal fruit.
Suddenly, she heard a commotion in her yard, and she couldn't even hide the sound of crackling firewood in the stove. For no reason, she felt panicked, something must have happened again. Anyway, every time there is a commotion in her yard, there will definitely be no good thing.
Chen Wu was still sleeping, and he was also awakened. He worked too hard in the field yesterday, and today he is a little tired, so he gets up late.
In order to grasp the opportunity of the matter, Aunt Cha Wu first quickly ran into the hall, and saw that the eldest son was sitting at the table reading a book, and her heart suddenly relaxed, as long as it was not related to her eldest son, this was their hope.
After so many years, she gritted her teeth and insisted on studying for him, so that one day her son would be able to be named on the gold list and glorify the lintel, and when the time comes, all the grievances will be worth it.
After thinking about it, he said, "What about your brother?" It's time to get up, it's time to eat. Go and call him up. ”
Chen Yuang likes to sleep lazily the most, and he is often absent from their breakfast, because he can't catch up, so Aunt Cha usually puts the breakfast left for him in a pot and steams it, and eats it when he wakes up.
Who knows, Chen Yuxuan said: "My brother got up early, saying that he was going out for a walk." ”
Hearing this, Aunt Cha Wu said in her heart, and the noisy crowd outside may have been attracted by her younger son.
Thinking of this, he went to the stove to put out the fire, and came back to Chen Yuxuan: "You hurry up and wash your hands and eat, and go to the school from the back door after eating." No, forget it, you go get some steamed buns and eat them while walking, by the way, there is an egg under the steamer, which was specially cooked for you by my mother. Remember, hurry up and get it, eat as you go, and don't delay. ”
Although he didn't know why his mother was like this, Chen Yuxuan also vaguely felt that his brother should have caused something again. So he no longer hesitated, carried his schoolbag, went to the stove to get two steamed buns and the eggs that Aunt Cha Wu specially boiled for him, and walked away from the back door.
Seeing that the eldest child was gone, Aunt Cha Wu breathed a sigh of relief.
She really doesn't want her eldest son to be involved, and she can't let him be distracted by these family trivialities and affect his studies. At the same time, Aunt Cha didn't want her son to see her pungent side.
It's just when she was a child, but now that she's getting older day by day, she doesn't want to do this anymore. Even if she is pretending, she has to pretend to be a mother.
After doing this, she took a deep breath, and Aunt Cha Wu walked out by herself, and did not ask Chen Wu to come with her. In Aunt Cha's heart, she is a soft-footed crab who is fierce and only knows how to be ruthless to her family.
Otherwise, whenever something happens to this family, he will never come out, and he will let her go every time.
Everyone only knows that Aunt Zha Wu is arrogant and unreasonable, but if Chen Wu is a powerful person, she doesn't need to go out in person. Quarreling with these villagers, either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind, she is not stronger, and there is no way.
Everyone wants to do it, but she obviously can't.
It is true that Chen Wu had already woken up at this moment, heard the movement outside, and listened to Aunt Cha's instructions for a while, and he understood in his heart. Anyway, even if you get up, you can't help.
Forget it, he's better pretend to be asleep.
Thinking of this, Fu lay down again, but he didn't really fall asleep, but listened attentively to the movement outside.
Seeing Chen Jitang pulling Chen Yuang, Da Niu's mother said: "You just hold his hand, don't move anywhere else, lest his mother deceive you for a while." If he wants to say that he is using this hand-shaved peanut, in my opinion, he will have to beat it well for a while. ”
Da Niu's mother's words won the unanimous approval of everyone.
Fortunately, everyone found out early, and this leather boy only dug a dozen pits. If no one had gone around today, and he had been gouging it all the time, it would have been a huge loss.
Aunt Cha pushed open the courtyard door, and saw Chen Jitang holding her son's hand, even if she struggled, she would not let go. Seeing a group of menacing villagers behind him, he had a bottom in his heart.
Needless to say, her mischievous son must have done something that angered the public. No matter what it is, don't have anything to do with the longevity fruit, Aunt Cha prayed in her heart. She was also looking forward to a good harvest in the fall, so she knew how much the villagers valued the peanuts.
Everything else is easy to say.
Thinking of this, Aunt Cha Wu said, "Chen Jitang, why are you holding my family Yuang's hand." Your hands are rough and calloused, and he is uncomfortable, so don't let go quickly. I like my son so much, I marry a daughter-in-law and give birth to her. If you want to say that you are not short of money now, you can still marry a daughter-in-law. I do know some big girls, so I'll introduce you when the time comes. ”
Aunt Cha is Aunt Cha, and her mouth will never be easy to forgive. Even if you know that you are at fault in the first place, you are not ambiguous.
However, Chen Jitang obviously didn't buy it, an old man like him was already past the age of shyness, and it was useless to check what Aunt Fifth said. I just heard him say, "Of course, I want to marry a daughter-in-law, but it has nothing to do with you." You'd better take care of your son first. ”
As he spoke, he pushed Chen Yuang towards Aunt Cha.
Aunt Cha Wu pulled her son to take a look, and sure enough, his wrists had begun to be red and swollen, which showed how tightly Chen Jitang held it along the way.
subconsciously wanted to scold, but Da Niu's mother didn't give her this opportunity at all, and only listened to her preach: "If you want to say that your son really should be disciplined and disciplined, do you know what he did?" He actually went to the field to cut the long-growing fruit to eat, isn't this a scourge to the crops? ”
It's over, but I still can't dodge, it's really related to the longevity fruit.
Hearing this, Aunt Cha said with a weak heart: "How is it possible! Although this kid is a little naughty, he is not going to do this kind of thing, and there is some misunderstanding in the middle of this, that. ”
Now, there is no need for the big cow mother to speak, the villagers can't bear it anymore, this one said: "We have all seen it!" This early in the morning, he can still be wronged. ”
Another said, "If we hadn't discovered it in time, we wouldn't have known how much he had harmed." ”
"No, when we found out, he had already dug twelve pits, three in one pit, that is, thirty-six. Last year, I saw Chen Jixing harvest the longevity fruit, and there were about 30 longevity fruits under a longevity fruit seedling. Based on the thirty immortal fruits under one piece, he let us receive 360 immortal fruits less today. ”
Hearing this, everyone became even more angry, three hundred and sixty? Why do you have two catties. According to the current market price, two catties is twenty taels of silver.
As soon as Aunt Cha heard the chatter of the people, she was a little overwhelmed. Especially the person who just spoke didn't know who it was, this arithmetic was actually more powerful than Zhao's, and a mouth was data, real.
At this moment, the village chief Chen Jifa also came.
When the people saw that the village chief was coming, they felt that there was a place for justice. This fifth aunt Cha has always been slippery, and the most sharp-toothed and thick-skinned, they are not her opponents at all.
Only the village chief with real power has the ability to deal with her.
The village chief had actually been here for a while, so he stood silently behind the villagers and learned the ins and outs of the whole incident.
When he heard that Chen Yuang actually had this kind of behavior, he was really startled, and at the same time he was a little emotional. No matter how poor Aunt Cha's family is, there are more poor people in the village, but why don't the children of the people do this kind of thing.
In the final analysis, it is because Aunt Cha is too spoiled, and she is not good enough to teach by word and deed. Otherwise, why do some people say that the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked.
Thinking of this, the village chief said to Aunt Cha Wu: "Tell me, what to do about this, everyone is waiting for you to make a decision." ”
He wanted to announce his decision directly, but in that case, Aunt Cha would inevitably scold, not because she was afraid of her, but because she was upset. He's really annoyed with this family already.
If it weren't for the fact that her eldest son was still studying in the school, the village chief would have been furious.
"This time it's our fault, I'm still cooking breakfast, I thought he was sleeping, and I ran out. Well, don't worry, we'll teach him a good lesson. ”
Seeing that the situation was not right, Aunt Cha decided to make a move to delay the army first, and sent everyone away first. As long as everyone leaves, as for whether to fight or not, that's her business.
Who knows, everyone is not easy to fool, and Da Niu's mother said seriously: "It's not that we embarrass this child, or that we embarrass you." It's just that this kid really needs to be disciplined. Otherwise, if you don't have a long memory, what will you do next time? We can't be in the ground all the time. ”
"It's just that, you have to make a statement. It's okay now, what if he steals the longevity fruit when it's about to ripen? ”
Some people have so much thought that they even think of this layer. If that's the case, then everyone will lose a lot.
Seeing that the villagers were aggressive this time, Aunt Cha really had no temper. When she encounters this kind of thing, if it weren't for her children, but for someone else's, she might be so excited.
Who let those longevity fruits be related to everyone's income this year?
She thought of a solution, but she really didn't want to say it herself, and it hurt her just thinking about it.
Seeing that Aunt Cha didn't speak, the village chief said, "Forget it, I won't embarrass you, and I won't let you beat him." He's your son anyway, and you don't care about your business. However, since the damage has been caused, it must be compensated. Otherwise, as everyone said, I don't have a long memory, so what should I do next time? In this way, he has just dug a total of twelve pits, and we don't want your family to give money, but when the harvest is harvested in the autumn, except for your family, each family can get twelve, and take it home to eat, and it is not counted in the public school. ”
When everyone heard it, the village chief had a good idea. Since you destroyed the twelve, it means that their family divided the twelve first.
At that time, in addition to checking the fifth aunt's house, each family will get twelve first, and take it home to try it or sell it, it's okay to talk about it. To say that this longevity fruit is too expensive, and the village grows these in the public middle school, it is difficult to have the opportunity to eat some by yourself.
It's a fair approach.
Thinking of this, everyone expressed their positions one after another, saying that they had no opinion.
Seeing that the village chief said what he thought in his heart, although he was distressed, but there was no way to do it, who let his son not be angry, Aunt Cha finally said that she obeyed this decision.
As soon as everyone left, Aunt Cha took off her shoes and chased Chen Yu to run all over the yard, scolding as she ran, "You little rabbit cub, you stand for me, now the wings are hard, right, the bullying lady can't catch up with you." You stand for me, you run again, and you don't even want to eat again for breakfast in the future. ”
Hearing that he had lost twelve immortal fruits in vain, Chen Wu's anger had already come up, and when he saw that everyone was gone, he didn't wear shoes anymore, so he jumped off the bed directly, and surrounded Chen Yuang with Aunt Cha Wu, and he was beaten up until he begged for mercy and promised not to go again.
