Another day passed, and Han Hongcai, the son of Han Zhengye, rode into the village to find the Xie family, saying that Chen Yuanzhong on Zhuangzi had moved, and asked them to hurry up to receive Zhuangzi.

It turned out that Han Zhengye heard Xie Qingshan say that Chen Yuanzhong's family would not leave the Zhuangzi, so he immediately went to invite Wang Zhaoxuan's housekeeper to drink tea and told him about it in the teahouse.

When the housekeeper heard about this, he listened to the meaning of Han Zhengye's mouth, this Chen Yuanzhong actually used the banner of Wang Zhaoxuan's mansion to fake the tiger, and he didn't leave the Zhuangzi that he sold to others, isn't this a slap in the face?

So he sent a few servants, and went viciously that day, and drove out Chen Yuanzhong's family. Those servants are also thieves, how can they run away empty? The gold and silver accumulated in Chen Yuanzhong's house were not only robbed clean, but even the chickens and ducks were taken away by the servants of Zhaoxuan's mansion, the three on the left and the three on the right.

This Chen Yuanzhong's family has always been a bully and afraid of the hard, and they are tough and scoundrels in front of the powerless Xie family, but in front of the servants sent by Wang Zhaoxuan's housekeeper, they are as soft as snot and thick as sauce, just crying and begging.

They know in their hearts that if they offend a civilian family like Xie Qingshan, they will be scolded a few words at most, and they will not hurt their muscles and bones, if they offend Wang Zhaoxuan's mansion, it will ruin your family.

Who knew that this time he had miscalculated, he had clearly inquired before, this Xie family was just a nouveau riche who had made a fortune by digging Shouwu on the mountain, who thought that he could invite Wang Zhaoxuan to go to the mansion, so he had to pack up the pieces and pieces of the house, and left in a hurry.

When the Xie family heard the news, they were not happy, and hurriedly drove the mule to Zhuangzi.

Xie Qingshan couldn't stop thanking Han Hongcai on the road: "It's still Brother Han who has the ability and the doorway, and the Chen family in the past is stubborn and doesn't move." This is obviously the Zhuangzi we bought, but it has become his family. If it weren't for Brother Han, I really wouldn't be able to do anything! ”

"Uncle Xie, since this Zhuangzi is run by my family's tooth shop, how can I make you nervous, next time there is such a matter, just come to my father and me, and keep the Lili Suo for you." Han Hongcai is also a clever and obedient offspring, and replied with a smile.

As they spoke, the group came to the Zhuangzi three miles away from Gangshang Village, tied the horses and mules to the locust tree outside the door, and when they entered the courtyard, they saw that the house was empty, but there were discarded dirty debris everywhere, so it was not an eyesore.

The courtyard is quite large, slightly larger than the courtyard where they live, after all, it is on Zhuangzi, not next to the village on all sides, and the nearest is Beixinzhuang, only half a mile away. The courtyard is a triple courtyard, the pattern is similar to most of the farmhouses in the north, and it is also a main house that sits in the south and faces north and is divided into three rooms, the hall house and the left and right ear rooms, and the front is with the east and west wings.

It's better than the house they live in, although it is a little dilapidated, but it is really a blue brick house, sturdy and durable, warm in winter and cool in summer.

"This family is a dog? Why don't you pickle and bury it, look at this house, there is no place to stay! Xie Ping'an entered the house, looked at a piece of debris on the ground, smelled it carefully, and smelled urine, and couldn't help but scold.

"Dare that the Chen family is unwilling to leave and drown in this house, and we should be relieved!" Xie Pingtian said, picked up a bald broom in the courtyard and began to clean up.

Han Hongcai frowned, and said to Xie Qingshan: "Uncle Xie, I didn't do this well, who knew that this family didn't know how to lift ...... like this."

Xie Qingshan hurriedly said, "How can this be your fault?" When you meet a villain, you can't do anything. Don't delay, clean the same live! ”

Han Hongcai hurriedly went up to help, threw the broken tables and chairs, and came with Xie Qingshan one by one: "In addition, Chen Yuanzhong left in a hurry, and the original tenant tenant matter was not handed over clearly. However, there is no need to worry, Wang Zhaoxuanfu collected all the tenants' fields before selling the Zhuangzi, and the wheat planted in the field was also converted into cash and compensated to the tenant farmers, and now all the wheat in this field belongs to Uncle Xie's family. Don't care who he originally gave it to, how many acres of land he tenanted, and in the future, Uncle Xie will tenant it to whoever he wants......"

How could Xie Qingshan let Han Hongcai do it? I couldn't snatch it a few times, so I picked it up.

He pondered it for a while, and asked him the doubts in his heart: "Hongcai, you have seen a lot, give me ideas for the old man." I have seen other large families tenant land to others, some are fifty-five cents, and some are 'iron plate rent', which one is suitable? ”

Originally, there were generally two ways for landlords to collect rent. One is to give fifty-five cents to the harvest for this year, that is, the landlord and the tenant farmer each get half, and pay half of the grain tax, and the other head tax and so on are borne separately; The other is the iron plate rent, that is, regardless of the good fortune, the landlord will take a certain amount of grain, and the rest will be owned by the tenant farmers. In the former, the landlord and the tenant farmer each bear half of the risk, and the disadvantage is that everyone loses money in the disaster year; The latter is that the tenant farmers bear all the risks, and in a good year, they will pay enough for the landlord's fixed amount, and all the rest will be for the tenant farmers.

"Uncle Xie, I think our family is such a loyal family, if we collect iron plate rent, in case of a disaster year, we can't be hard-hearted to ask tenants to borrow and break the house to pay rent, it is better to pay five or five points, plant more, harvest more, plant less, and harvest less, and I am not afraid that he will waste the field." Han Hongcai said with a smile.

"It's this Li'er!" Xie Qingshan nodded again and again, "I originally meant the same thing, but I was afraid that a few big families around me would be different from us, and I accidentally collided with someone......

"Uncle Xie is still serious and thoughtful!" Han Hongcai praised, "Most of our land is fifty-five points, and there are also iron plate rentals, not much, but I just want to have a good harvest in recent years!" ”

The four of them cleaned up, and the sun was just above it, and Han Hong was about to go back. Xie Qingshan's father and son pulled him hard and didn't let him go, and let him go home for dinner, Han Hongcai couldn't twist his thigh, so he had to go home with Xie Qingshan's father and son.

Because Xie Qingshan ordered to buy vegetables, vegetables and meat when he went out, the family had already washed and cut them, just waiting for them to come back and cook them.

Han Hongcai was welcomed into the hall, and a table of eight immortals was placed in the center, and a jar of soju had already been placed on the table, and the mud seal had not yet been opened.

On the table, there are fried open hazelnuts, home-knotted pomegranate dates, sparkling garlic balsamic vinegar mixed with preserved eggs, cold pork head meat, and fruit pretzels. The hot dishes are still steaming in the kitchen.

Xie Qingshan slapped the soju mud seal and poured a bowl for Han Hongcai first: "Hongcai, don't be afraid of the poor family, let's drink it slowly, and your aunt will serve hot dishes later!" ”

Han Hongcai hurriedly stood up and stopped: "How can there be any reason to let Uncle Xie pour me wine, I should respect Uncle Xie!" ”

The four of them ate and drank and talked at the table, and the atmosphere became hotter and hotter.

Xie Xuan took the steaming whole roast chicken to the hall, and the heat mixed with the fragrance couldn't stop puffing on her face, and the saliva secreted all over her mouth, so she had to swallow it hard.

This roast chicken is not far from Gangshang Village not far from the big village town Huluzhuang buy, Huluzhuang Jiangjia roast chicken shop to make lo-mei is a must, in the morning Lin rushed to Huluzhuang to buy roast chicken, pig's head meat, shochu, and bought a few catties of pork, tofu to entertain Han Hongcai.

It's a pity that in this era, unless your own family eats, men and women can't sit together under normal circumstances. If there are guests in the house, one table for men and one table for women, and when there are only male guests, women and children are not allowed to serve at the table.

In the kitchen, Xie Wang's left pig's head meat and pretzels for the three children, but the roast chicken could not be dismantled, and it had to be served whole on the table to look good.

Xie Xuan is growing her body, and everything she eats is fragrant, not to mention this fragrant roast chicken? It's a bit of a gluttony.

Bringing the roast chicken to the table of the eight immortals in the hall, Xie Xuan listened for a while, knowing that Chen Yuanzhong's family had run away, and Zhuangzi took it back, so he went back to the kitchen and told Xie Wang and Lin.

Although Xie Wang and Lin had already expected it, how could they be unhappy when they got the truth? When stir-frying, the spatula in your hand is waving cheerfully.

I fried the verdant garlic sprouts and pork slices, the scrambled eggs with yellow and yellow leeks, the tender and tender miscellaneous pork slices, the crispy fried cabbage heart, and finally the sour and spicy appetizing sour bamboo shoot soup. In addition to meat, they are all home-grown vegetables.

Xie Wang's family set aside some of everything, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took Xie Xuan's three children to eat in the kitchen.

Xie Qingshan, father and son, accompanied Han Hongcai to eat to their heart's content, and when they ate until half an hour, they drank all the jars of soju.

When Han Hongcai left, Xie Qingshan was not at ease, so he asked Xie Pingtian and Xie Ping'an to drive the mule cart with Han Hongcai, and the other to lead the horse and send him back to the county seat.

Xie Qingshan was old after all, and Xie Wang sent him to rest in the house to pick up the remnants of the table with the Lin family.
