Chapter Seventy-Three: Conflict

"Uncle has contacted people, the medicine farmer two days ago was introduced by my uncle's friend, and the Baicaotang in Fucheng said, how much you want!"

"Then ......" Qian Xiancheng thought that his family had completely become a merchant, and he was very disgusted, "Wen Jin, we have food and drink now, you can wear silk and satin if you want, if you don't want to work, you won't do it, and you won't be missing, why bother?" ”

Wen Jin's heart is very uncomfortable, could it be that the food and drink at home are all created by you, the second uncle? Speak in such a loud tone.

Qian Xiancheng also felt that his words were inappropriate, so he changed his tone and said gently: "Wen Jin, isn't it good for our family to be like this now?" ”

"Does the second uncle think it's already good? Now Uncle Su is working in our house, and it is not a problem for the family to be fed and clothed, but what about Uncle Su's whole village? Why don't you try to make them happy? ”

"This kid, the world is big, you can't take care of the poor, right?"

"But if I have the ability, why don't I care more?"

Qian Xiancheng thought for a while: "You can let the people from the pharmacy buy it, you don't have to come out yourself." ”

Wen Jin frowned: "I have the ability, why don't you do it?" ”

"Wen Jin, isn't it good to be a family heirloom? Why do you keep trying to stand on the merchant's side? How bad! ”

Wen Jin looked at the second uncle fixedly, angry and depressed in his heart, and walked out with a flick of his sleeves.

In the middle of the unitary hour, Wen Jin helped the second aunt cook, Wei Shi looked at her sullen appearance, and sighed softly: "Wen Jin, don't blame the second uncle for not having your heart, isn't our family good this day?" You don't have to be a businessman. ”

Wen Jin didn't speak, the second uncle and the second aunt couldn't hear the word "Shang", it seemed that it was a poisonous snake and beast, and they would die if they touched it.

"Second aunt, I haven't been able to study, so I can't just live my life guarding a few acres of ponds, right?"

Wei didn't expect Wen Jin to say this, he was speechless for a while, probably in the evening, he relayed Wen Jin's words to her husband, and after breakfast the next day, Qian Xiancheng talked to Wen Jin: "Wen Jin, you are only thirteen years old, why don't you go to study?" ”

Wen Jin looked at the past fixedly, Qian Xiancheng immediately lowered his eyes, Wen Jin stopped school at the age of eight, and it has been five years now, can he start studying again? He held back for a long time, but still mustered up his courage: "Even if you don't be able to read the famous hall in the future, the second uncle promises that there will be no shortage of food and clothing for you, and this can be regarded as living a decent life." ”

Wen Jin sneered disdainfully: "Decent? Can such a person who has nothing to achieve and lives on the charity of others can be said to be decent? Thinking that the second uncle was such a person, Wen Jin was still a little worried that he was annoyed, and quietly observed it with his spare eyes, Qian Xiancheng didn't think of this at all, he didn't think that he was a scumbag and achieved nothing.

Well, this is caused by the difference in concepts, Qian Xiancheng thinks that he is benevolent, kind, and respected, such a person is a successful person, not a wasted person who has achieved nothing.

Thinking of this, Wen Jin quietly breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't mean to accuse the second uncle.

Qian Xiancheng still patiently persuaded Wen Jin: "To be a scholar, you are the most noble, and besides, we are not afraid of not eating or drinking now, why do you have to surrender your identity and become a businessman?" ”

"It's useless to be a scholar, I've lived like that all my life? In addition to making manure every day, it is still making manure, how can this be called noble? Why can it be called noble? To be noble is to eat other people's blood and sweat? Then I might as well be low. ”

"You, you, you kid, why can't you make sense?" Qian Xiancheng got angry, walked around the house a few times, and finally held back, and sat next to Wen Jin again, "Otherwise, if we have money, it's the same to buy more land, so you won't feel that there is nothing to do, if you can really create a situation, thousands of acres of fertile land at home, it will also be an extraordinary achievement." ”

"Hmph, second uncle, don't you think this is the way to compete with the people? Ordinary people, there is no other way out but to farm, farm, without land, what do you let them plant? The more I have, the more people have no land, and such a life is a life of sin, where can it be called an achievement? ”

Qian Xiancheng was so angry that he slapped Wen Jin's kang edge: "This kid, why can't you listen to good words?" ”

Wen Jin was even angrier than him, glared angrily, and slammed the door.

The autumn sky is so blue, only a few clouds, dazzling white, under the blue sky, on the threshing field, a golden stack, showing off the joy of the farmers' harvest. In the past, when Wen Jin saw this, she couldn't suppress her smile, but today, her stomach was full of wretchedness, so she couldn't see joy or joy at all.

"Wen Jin, Wen Jinβ€”" It's Wang Han.

Wen Jin took a deep breath and tried to make her tone as cheerful as possible: "Hey! Uncle Wang, why are you idle today? ”

"How can I have time, didn't I come to you specifically?"

"What's the matter?"

Wang Han was suddenly a little embarrassed: "Hey, this β€”β€”," He is not an indecisive person, nor is he the kind of person who is afraid to say something that he is afraid to say.

After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Wang Han spoke: "Xiao Xiucai, didn't you say that you want to ask someone to prepare some sauerkraut?" Shall I come? ”

"Okay!"

"My mother's pickled sauerkraut is said to be delicious, and you are satisfied."

He is really good at doing business, if it weren't for Wei Chenglan, Wen Jin would definitely encourage him to give up that position and become a business person to cultivate, and in the future, he will definitely be able to take charge of the big shopkeeper alone.

Seeing that Wen Jin didn't speak, Wang Han was a little ashamed, and when she didn't want to, Wang Han quickly changed her words: "Forget it." ”

"Oh, no, no, that's not what I mean, I'm praising Uncle in my heart for your good skills, I didn't have time to speak."

Wang Han happily "hehe" laughed twice: "Xiaoxiu is only good at praising people." ”

Wen Jin lowered her voice: "Uncle Wang, it's not me who said, you are more capable than Uncle Wang, and you will be the first in our village in the future." ”

"This kid ......" Wang Han was humble in his mouth, and his heart was very useful.

"Uncle, I not only want cabbage pickled, I want snow fern and mustard greens pickled, but I also need some sour radish, about two thousand catties."

"So much?" Wang Han was startled, and then, a smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and he had another income. Shanwo Village is at the foot of the mountain, and when the cold wind in winter just blows, there are big mountains in the way, and winter comes late and is not very cold. However, this cold is relative, Wen Jin always feels that the social system in the era she is in now is a bit like the Ming and Qing dynasties, but it is more enlightened than the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the climate is very similar to the Ming Dynasty, which is particularly cold. The book in her hand records that in the winter of Shanyang County, sometimes the mountain stream does not freeze, and even if there is ice, it is very thin and cannot stand people, but in the past few years, the stream water every year has frozen not a foot deep, and there is at least half a foot of ice, and people come and go on it at will, as strong as a stone.
