I should really thank Uncle Zhang

The old soldier surnamed Zhang, who came back from Huangshi, has three sons, and the names of these three sons are very modern, respectively: Youdi, Youdi, and Zaidi.

The gods probably heard Lao Zhang's prayers, so they gave him three sons in one go, but Lao Zhang was obviously too greedy to name Xiao San "Brother Zai". It seems that the gods were also a little angry and did not send more children.

The eldest and second have joined the army, and Zhang Zaidi is still young, but as a child of the Ming army, the fate of a soldier has been predestined when he was born - if Huangshi has not crossed.

Under the recommendation of Lao Zhang, in February of the 46th year of Wanli, Huangshi also joined the army as a soldier, and finally had a bite to eat.

In July, it was Lao Zhang who gave him the sponsorship, and with the help of his sons, Huangshi finally built his own hut, and also got the old bed and a full set of old bedding that he had been using for half a year. After installing the door panel, Lao Zhang's youngest son, Zhang Zaidi, jumped up and brought firecrackers from home.

The youngest son of the Zhang family has been completely subdued by Huangshi with all kinds of stories, Huangshi has been in the forum for so long, and he has not learned anything from his real skills, but he has collected a stomach of miscellaneous studies. Now Zhang Zaidi has not joined the army because he is still young, so he always has time to circle around him with adoration.

Amid the sound of firecrackers, Yellowstone caressed the brand-new gate, greedily sniffing the fresh wood on the gate. From today on, Huangshi is no longer a lost dog, even if he encounters hunger and cold again, he will not be at a loss of direction.

In order to help Huangshi add some household goods, Lao Zhang's eldest son, Zhang Youdi, sold his waist knife. After adding furniture, the extra money Mrs. Zhang cut two taels of meat and fried a plate of shredded meat, which can be regarded as celebrating the housewarming for him.

Originally, Huang Shi wanted to use the old Zhang's dishes, chopsticks and pans to leave those new things, but they insisted that it would be unlucky if the house was full of old things. In addition, Lao Zhang's mother-in-law also gave Huangshi's new home three insurances, invited a woodcarved Bodhisattva from the temple, found a Taoist priest to buy a wooden sword, and finally took back a bag of incense ashes in the Chenghuang Temple.

"Stone, there's only one woman missing. As soon as these words rang in his ears, Huang Shi felt a big hand slap his back fiercely, and the food he was chewing in his mouth suddenly squirted back into the bowl.

Huang Shi, who was immersed in picking up rice, was caught off guard, so he hung his head into the bowl, he swallowed the rest of the things in his mouth and looked up and replied: "That's a long time later, wait for the salary to pay back Uncle Zhang first." ”

I saw Lao Zhang waving his hand disapplausively: "Don't worry, you can't pay it back this year, you can't pay it back next year, you can't pay it back, your son will pay it back to my son, our two families will be neighbors for many generations." ”

Huang Shi also understood that joining the army in the Ming Dynasty was getting on a thief ship, and future generations could be regarded as all contributing to the Great Tomorrow and the imperial court. If he is reincarnated in the early Ming Dynasty, then his descendants are estimated to be neighbors with the old Zhang family for hundreds of years.

The eldest son of Lao Zhang, who was sitting on the right, also nodded again and again, "Yes, Shi, hurry up and find a mother-in-law to have a child." You're not too young. ”

Without waiting for Huang Shi to answer, Lao Zhang, who was very satisfied with his son's words, pushed away the rice bowl, first attracted the attention of several people with a cough, and then stretched out his finger and pointed to the eldest daughter-in-law standing by the wall, and said to Huang Shi with a smile: "If she can give birth to a son, you will marry your daughter to my grandson in the future, you don't have to give a dowry, and I won't give a bride price." ”

With a wry smile, he involuntarily climbed Huangshi's face, there was no daughter-in-law, and what about his daughter, this Lao Zhang thought really long-term: "Certainly, that is certain." ”

Seeing that Lao Zhang's second son had also finished eating, Huang Shi hurriedly stuffed the remaining brown rice in the bowl into his mouth in one go, and said vaguely while chewing: "I've eaten it." ”

"Come and eat. As Huang Shi and Lao Zhang and his eldest and second eldest left the table, Lao Zhang's mother-in-law came over with Zhang Zaidi and her eldest daughter-in-law and sat down and began to eat. Zhang Zaidi grabbed the chopsticks and began to pick out the remaining shredded meat, and his sister-in-law first served rice to his mother-in-law, and then filled the bowl for the younger brother-in-law.

Back at home and on the latch, Huang Shi rubbed the black to the side of the bed, lifted the quilt and lay down, and gradually fell asleep in a silence, he was already in tears before he fell asleep.

In the past few months in the army, nothing has come down except for a military uniform, and the next morning, Huang Shi danced his thick wooden stick to exercise as usual, and mixed a few Monkey King shapes on the way to entertain himself.

After, Huangshi danced it again and went back to lunch with Lao Zhang's family. After wiping his mouth after dinner, he went out to chop wood, but after Huangshi carried things back at night, Lao Zhang's mother-in-law said that she would not leave anything in vain, she forced Huangshi to give a copper plate, saying that starting tomorrow, these are all bought by her, and said that the old axe Lao Zhang also gave it to him.

For the next six months, life was like a lake without the slightest waves, and every day Huangshi went through a cycle of exercise, eating, chopping wood, eating, and sleeping. It turned out that these new homes were left to the Huangshi family to be ruined, and he did not make a fire until the New Year, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was all mixed up with the old Zhang family.

Lao Zhang refused his offer to send a new iron pot or something back, on the grounds that when Huangshi gets married in the future, the family will be full of new things and look magnificent, otherwise it will cost more money to buy them at that time, and no girl is willing to use other people's old things. Lao Zhang finally reiterated his request: that is, he can promise his daughter to his grandson in the future, although Huangshi doesn't know where his wife is.

Experience is easy to get, but physical superiority is innate. As a young man born under the red flag and growing up in a new society, Huang Shi eats meat and eggs and drinks cola, and the party's care gives him a tall figure of 1.85 meters.

Although they suffered a lot after the crossing, the people of the Ming Dynasty, who were generally deficient in calcium and vitamins in their childhood, only had an average male height of 1.6 meters. Neither bone strength nor organ cultivation can be compared with the modern four newcomers.

By the end of the first year of Taichang, Huangshi had beaten as much firewood as two people, and occasionally caught some small beasts. These advantages and his stature have brought a lot of charm, and some military families with adult girls in their families have also hinted to Huang Shi that for a promising young man like him, it is not impossible to consider halving the bride price.

Although he can't get a few hangs of money now, it is not a very considerable amount, according to Huangshi's current situation, he can make up enough money in a few months, but he has other plans.

In addition, Huangshi can actually write a good hand, after all, paper is easy to obtain in modern society. Huangshi's original hobby was to write large characters, and he also won awards in amateur competitions.

The price of writing paper in the Ming Dynasty was still relatively expensive, and the paper used by Huangshi in the new society was worth at least a few hundred taels of silver in this era. The hard-working scholars of the Ming Dynasty still preferred to practice calligraphy with branches and sand, drawing pictures on white paper every day, and at this time it was not a very easy burden for the wealthy.

Huangshi does not dare to show this advantage for the time being, because in a feudal society with an average literacy rate of less than 1 percent, literacy is too eye-catching characteristic, let alone a good handwriting.

He had peeked at the pen and ink of a few private school gentlemen, and in the twenty-first century, the kind of writing could only be called unsightly. It reminded him of the cautious reverence that later calligraphers had for their sages. For example, the sage of calligraphy, Wang Xizhi, who created a genre, the status of this kind of master is unshakable, but if a modern calligrapher who has more resources claims to write less than the sage of calligraphy, then he is sorry for the sage of calligraphy. As an amateur calligraphy enthusiast, Huang Shi's calligraphy is not very good, but it is certainly much better than the vast majority of Ming Dynasty intellectuals.

This is also Huangshi's view of the ancients in his heart, if the descendants of later generations are worse than the Chinese sages, it is not only not to respect the ancients, but to shame the ancestors. With this in mind, he was determined to make an earth-shattering career in this era.

On the twenty-fourth day of the first month of the first year of the Apocalypse, Huangshi braved the wind and snow to chop wood in the afternoon, and the axe had only been sharpened by Blacksmith Chen yesterday, so he did it very easily today. When he swung the axe, he couldn't help but think of yesterday's events, and a smug smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Blacksmith Chen has a daughter who has just turned seventeen, yesterday when Huangshi was waiting in the shop was beckoned by her Lao Tzu to come out to serve water, at that time he felt that the girl's expression was a little wrong, and after the eldest girl went back, Wang Blacksmith praised his daughter for how diligent and thrifty he was, and said that his daughter had the appearance of a son.

The meaning of these words Huang Shi immediately understood, and the feelings made the girl come out and go around for a blind date, and then Wang Blacksmith began to praise Huang Shi himself. Because of his height, he has only been mixed into the vanguard for a few months, and he may be promoted to Guochang soon. What the king blacksmith means is that a smart person not only pays attention to the present, but also pays attention to the future, if a young man is very self-motivated and can give his daughter a good support, then it is not a big problem to delay the payment of the bride price for a few years.

Of course, it's not a big problem, how can there be any problems when the blacksmith Wang gave birth to three daughters and a son? In the end, Lao Zhang suffered from this, and named his first two sons: Youdi, Youdi. As a result, Tiancong did not give birth to a daughter, and now he is very worried about the marriage of his second son.

Coupled with the income in the next few months, Huang Shi is confident that he will save a small amount of money, so that the second child of the old Zhang family will be able to settle down, but when he thinks of next year's history, a ridiculous feeling rises in his chest, and in the end it will be empty.

With this thought, the full energy flowed away from Huangshi. After casually collecting today's harvest, Huangshi set foot on the path home early. As he walked to the edge of the forest, he suddenly saw a very strange sight that attracted Yellowstone, and he heard a loud shout as he approached to take a closer look.

"Don't touch my birds!"
