Chapter 155: Chatting on the Clay Court
Lao Gao asked Lu Yu to sit for a while. Lu Yu didn't sit down, watched Xiaocai write the words, and left with his hands behind his back.
Lu Yu didn't want to talk much now, so he was willing to walk quietly for a while.
After a few circles in the village, Lu Yu saw many people, and they all greeted Lu Yu warmly. Some people are curious, Lu Yu has always been very diligent, how can he have time to hang out today.
There are still many people basking in the sun on the clay field, Lu Yu hesitated, and also found a stone to sit down, although he knew that as long as he appeared, the topic of these people would turn to him.
There was a person sitting on a stone, the one that was almost pressed to the ground by Lu Yu, the man patted the stone under his buttocks, and asked Lu Yu: "Da Yu, to be honest, where did you get this ability?" ”
"I don't have any skills, but I have a lot of strength."
"There is a limit to your strength, okay, even if you have this strength, even a cow can't catch up."
"The ox is a fart, can the ox pull the plough and harrow the field by itself? Lu Yu can. ”
Lu Yu was shocked, and said secretly: "I have indeed cultivated in the valley, how do these people know?" ”
Fortunately, the man said, "We don't have any land here, so we don't need to pull the plow, otherwise Lu Yu's family won't have to raise cattle." ”
Listening to the villagers' nonsense, Lu Yu smiled and said nothing, and he didn't refute it.
After a while, someone said, "This year, it's been so fast." ”
"It's fast, there is no disaster this year, just go quickly."
Lu Yu felt that this was very reasonable, if the days were better, they would pass faster, and if there was a disaster, it would be suffering, and the suffering must be long.
"It's also thanks to Lu Yu in our village, I heard that in other places, this year is even more chaotic than last year."
"Why is this year more chaotic than last year? This year there was no drought or flooding. ”
"Heh, there is no drought or flood, but there are bad people, bad people sometimes, more terrible than that natural disaster."
"That's right, now there is no government, and those bad people have no restraint and don't come out to do bad things."
"Yes, that's why I said it's thanks to Lu Yu. Not to mention our village, even if this Jinhua City is stained with Lu Yu's light, with him, what bad people dare to mess around? ”
"Dare to mess around, what is that surnamed Lin, wasn't he beaten away. What's that now, Tianhai Gang, their gang leader and our Da Yu are still good friends. ”
Lu Yu smiled and said, "Good friends can't be said, we can't climb high, we just know each other." ”
"Da Yu, you don't have to lift others to press yourself, it's not necessarily who climbs high."
Lu Yu's heart moved slightly, thinking that the villagers had finally unloaded their mustard. In fact, these people not only have to thank Lu Yu, most of them still owe Lu Yu an apology.
Of course, Lu Yu didn't ask for their apologies, as long as the villagers were not hostile to themselves, Lu Yu would be satisfied.
Fang Daping was also on the dirt field, but he rarely spoke recently, and only then did he speak: "I heard that after the New Year, the government will come back." ”
"Come back, come back, that's not a bad thing."
Someone complained: "Hey, this court is not authentic." As soon as the day went bad, they left, and now that the wind is calm, they want to come back again. ”
"No, now that the fields can grow crops, they can't come back to collect rent. The emperor and the officials don't farm, and they don't ask for food from our farmers, what do they eat? ”
"Actually, we don't need the imperial court or anything here, and they can't help much, they only know how to collect money and ask for food." This was actually said by Fang Daping.
So someone laughed and said, "Village chief, if you let the poor men hear this, you will be arrested." ”
"That's it, are you still the village chief, what is this called? Guilty of guilt, crime is added to the crime! ”
Fang Daping smiled and said, "I, the village head, don't remember which town guard assigned (appointed), so I can't count it. ”
"Count, Lao Fang, you, the village chief, have no problem, I have nothing to say."
"This is, the village chief, your temper is not good, but you have done a lot of things for our village, and you have to be our village chief."
In fact, Lu Yu also felt that although Fang Daping was not strong enough and often couldn't suppress those disobedient villagers, but on the whole, as the village head, he was still very qualified, at least Fang Daping didn't have any big selfishness.
Fang Daping shook his head with a smile and did not speak.
After these people finished talking about Fang Daping, they said Fang Darong again. Although Fang Daping and Fang Darong have two words in their names, they are not from their own family, and they may have a little relationship with each other decades ago.
Fang Darong was not on the clay court, and someone said: "Fang Darong's daughter is on good terms with the general Shan in the town, right?" I don't know when they will get married. ”
Lu Mingde was present, he knew this matter in detail, and he said: "On the seventh day of the second month, the days have been set. ”
"This old man, the day is set, and he won't say a word in the village."
"What's the matter, Carpenter Hu, will you still give gifts?" The sentence just now was said by Hu Quanyou Hu Carpenter, and his stingy name is known to everyone in Yangshan Village.
"Sanbao, what kind of are you calling? Is my Hu Quanyou a stingy person? Although Hu Quanyou is stingy, he never likes others to say that he is stingy. It seems that most stingy people are like this.
The young man named Sambo said, "Hey, you're not stingy, you're the most generous, just as generous as that iron rooster's big asshole." ”
"Cut, I'm too lazy to fight with you."
Another person said: "If this government opens again, that group of soldiers will not be allowed to leave?" The daughter of the Fang family also followed? ”
"Follow along, didn't you say that marrying a chicken is a chicken and a dog is marrying a dog. married someone else as a daughter-in-law, what can you do if you don't go together. ”
"Didn't the old party suffer a big loss? A girl raised so much, so she left with someone else. ”
Lu Mingde also knew the details of this matter, so he only listened to him say slowly: "You guys, you love to guess." General Shan said that when he got married, he would stay if he could, and if he couldn't, he would be discharged from the army and not be a soldier. ”
"Soldiers are not in charge? He's not going to be a general anymore? ”
These people were all surprised, and some people said: "The general surnamed Shan, for the sake of the Fang family, he didn't even do the general?" That's. ”
These people questioned their words, Lu Mingde was a little dissatisfied, he sneered, and said: "That General Shan, in fact, is not a general, I heard that he is a 'guerrilla' or 'joining the army' or something, and his military rank is not high. ”
"I don't understand, anyway, he's eating public meals now, so I think it's amazing."
"It's not a public meal, people don't have to eat and drink by themselves."
"Yes, that General Shan is a good person, and he takes care of all the orphans in our town. You say that if they leave, will the government still take care of those children who have no parents? ”
"it, they're so kind?"
Lu Yu was also moved in his heart, and said secretly: "If Shan Tianfang and his brothers are gone, even if he stays, he won't be able to support those children." Then what will those poor orphans do? ”
Lu Yu is not the only one who is worried, Fang Daping also said: "This thing is really difficult to do, those children are all young, if there is no one to take care of them, life will be sad." ”
"Well, what can I do?"
Someone came up with an idea: "I see, isn't there someone in our village who doesn't have a child yet, and those who don't have children can go and adopt one back, and it is also a good deed to raise their own children." ”
Someone immediately disagreed: "It's always someone else's child, how can you be your own support?" ”
"That's right, those children are not young, can they remember, are they ripe?"
"What are you afraid of if you don't raise it, we are here to do good deeds."
"Liuding, you are kind, don't you have a child yet, just go and get one back." In fact, Xu Liuding originally had a son, and that year he was a descendant of chicken plague and died of illness.
Xu Liuding's face sank, and he said, "My daughter-in-law and I are still young, and we can give birth by ourselves." ”
Everyone was silent for a while, and someone looked at Lu Yu and said to him: "Da Yu, you live alone, I think you can bring a child back to help raise it." ”
"Nonsense, Da Yu is about to get married, and he can't have children?" Qi Xiang seemed to have been very protective of Lu Yu, and he said, "You will come up with ideas, and you don't want to do anything." ”
In fact, although Lu Yu has no plans to adopt a child, it is not impossible to think about it. If those children really have no one to take care of, he is willing to help them.
Now the aborigines of Yangshan Village are not afraid of Qi Xiang and their people from the north, so someone retorted: "Old Qi, you said that we will come up with ideas, so why don't you bring one or two back?" ”
Qi Xiang glanced at the man, spat on the ground again, and said, "If my mother-in-law is sober, I will definitely bring two back." "Because her children are gone, Qi Xiang's daughter-in-law has become crazy, and I don't know if it can be good, when it will be good.
Regarding the group of orphans in the town, this is a problem that the villagers of Yangshan can't solve, so after discussing a few words, they don't say it, and they don't want to say it.
Then, the villagers began to discuss the New Year again.
The young man named Sanbao talked a lot, he said: "There is food and drink during the Chinese New Year this year, but there is no meat, which is a bit of a fly in the ointment." "Sanbao's surname is Zhang, and he is from Yangshan Village, but he has been running outside since he became an adult, and he only returned to the village in the past two years, and the people in the village don't know what he is doing outside.
"Do you want to eat meat? You have to ask Da Yu, he has sheep at home, and he often goes out hunting. ”
"Lao Gao's family also has it, and Lu Di also hunts."
Sanbao really smiled and asked Lu Yu: "Brother Yu, do you sell your sheep?" Sanbao is less than thirty years old, and he looks young, and he has always called Lu Yu "brother".
Lu Yu said: "I won't sell it this year, but if there will be more next year, let's talk about it." ”
"Hehe, who will be short of meat to eat next year." Sanbao asked again, "When will you go up to the mountains to hunt again?" I'll order you a few pounds of meat first. ”
"I also set a few catties first, and I haven't tasted meat in the whole year."
"Da Yu, leave me five catties too, I have to ask for the back buttocks."
"And me, my family also wants to exchange food with you."
……
As soon as Sanbao reminded him like this, the villagers immediately realized that if they wanted to eat meat, they had to find Lu Yu. So these people made their own claims, you three catties and I made a reservation with Lu Yu, saying that when he came back from hunting, he must sell a few catties of meat to himself.
