Chapter 323: Back to School
After being busy with these things, and declining many kindnesses from Xiao Yuanwai, I took a long breath and went back to my room and lay down on the bed again.
Shook his head with a wry smile, at my age, it is these things that chase after me wherever I go, and besides, my wife is the daughter of the provincial governor, even if she really wants to take a concubine, she has to be the daughter of a deputy provincial governor-level official, hehe, thinking about it makes me feel very comfortable, or go to the dream to meet with my family's Tanya.
I fell asleep again.
The next day, when I left Xiao's house, although I repeatedly refused, they still brought me a large bag of gifts, not only that, Xiao Yuanwai insisted on letting his subordinates drive his private carriage back to the village, which was equivalent to his special car, which shows Xiao Yuanwai's sincerity.
Since I couldn't push off the other party's kindness, I accepted it and embarked on a journey back to my hometown in the car.
The journey was brisk, and it only took half a day to reach our village.
From a distance, I saw that there were already people waiting there at the head of the village.
Before arriving at the village, the servant of the Xiao family stopped the car, in the surprised eyes of the villagers, I walked down from the car, everyone in the village could see that the car is estimated to be only the master of the town can afford to sit, the villagers are so frightened that they dare not come out, it is estimated that it is the first time that such a beautiful carriage has entered our village, and the driver is obviously a servant of a large family, the man bowed down to me and called me a son, and looked very respectful to me.
The villagers were even more shocked and curious about this, and it was not until the car had gone away that the villagers excitedly surrounded me and asked me urgently: "Does Ling Feng know the senior official? How could someone send you back to the village?"
"Hehe, that's my classmate's car, drop me back by the way. I smiled and overshadowed it.
Hearing me say this, the villagers relaxed and were in the mood to joke with me.
"Is this a male or female classmate?"
"Of course, it's a male classmate. ”
"I think Ling Feng seems embarrassed!"
"Hahaha!"
These villagers have grown up watching me, they don't see me, and the atmosphere here is easy-going, but after I said a few words about my male classmates, among the many smiling faces, I easily caught a pair of angry eyes, which were staring at me, and I wanted to rush over and question me now, which was my mother, of course.
It must be an oolong! It is estimated that my mother must have thought that someone drove her to bring her daughter-in-law, but she did not expect that it disappointed her, and of course she would be angry with such a gap in her heart. Even my guess is that she may have boasted to the people around her, saying that I would bring a girlfriend back this year, only to let her idea fall through.
Involuntarily, I rubbed my ears, and then forced a smile to give everyone gifts, not daring to look at my mother's eyes again.
"This year it's been a lot of chaos outside, there are wars everywhere, and when I came back, I was torn apart by a lot of troops. ”
After sending the gifts, I can't go home now, first here to describe the background of the daughter-in-law who can't bring back this time to my mother, this matter is best solved here, and make it clear in front of everyone in the village that my mother can't be ruthless, and I must not go home to say, otherwise going home to say it will be tantamount to torture * confession, and there is no good fruit for me to eat.
"Is there really a war going on outside? We don't feel it here in the village. ”
Ergou gave me eye medicine on the side, and asked very suspiciously.
I glared at Ergou fiercely, I must bring him a little less when I go home next year to bring gifts, it's really eyeless, but I also know that our village is very closed, Ergou doesn't know that there is a war outside, and I believe that my mother must not know the situation outside, so I have to explain it clearly, so I said loudly:" Of course, it's chaotic, it's very chaotic, this year the governors of our province have changed three, and three governors have been changed in a year, just a few days before I left, another warlord entered the provincial capital with soldiers and became the governor, do you say that the battle outside is not fierce?"
I have done my best to tell everyone about the terrible situation outside.
"Wow! Really, the provincial governors have changed three, what kind of world is this!" This time the villagers began to shout, this sounds really terrible, three provincial governors are changed in a year, you can imagine what kind of chaos will be outside it.
"Yes, I confirm it's a lot of chaos out there. ”
At this time, the village chief suddenly stood up and supported me and said, when I was still wondering why the village chief, who had always been mean, would be so supportive of my work, I didn't expect the village chief to continue: "The day before yesterday, I went to the town for a meeting, and the town mayor said that from next month, each village will be charged a wartime security tax of one silver coin, so after the holiday, everyone will prepare an extra five copper coins per month to pay the security tax." ”
"I'll cut!"
The villagers were so angry that they almost scolded their mothers, but they didn't expect that the village chief would actually mention the matter of collecting money during the big holiday, which made everyone very unhappy.
Five copper coins a month is also a big burden for many villagers, and I believe that I don't know how many people have a bad holiday this year, and they will have to worry about this matter again. Seeing this, my heart moved, and I immediately took out two gold coins from the storage bracer and threw them to the village chief: "I have this money, the village chief should not be embarrassed for the villagers, everyone has a good holiday." ”
"Oh, hooray, Ling Feng is doing well. ”
The villagers were so happy that they almost lifted me up, which was obviously more enjoyable than receiving a holiday present.
I also accepted it when I saw it, and when I saw my mother's happy face in the praise of the villagers, I told some facts outside, and then immediately finished and went home with my family in laughter.
Walking on the familiar path in the village, the feeling of walking with my parents and younger brother is very pleasant.
Although my mother had joy on her face, she still glared at me fiercely with spicy eyes, pretending to be slightly angry and scolded me: "There is a war outside this year, I forgive you if you don't bring your girlfriend back, but next year, you must bring me a daughter-in-law back after graduation, do you hear?"
I smiled.
Seeing that I didn't care, my mother immediately gave me a fierce look and said, "If you don't marry a daughter-in-law next year, I will tell Ling Li about a family affair and let him get married earlier than you." ”
I was stunned, what kind of truth is this, mom is a radical method.
At this time, I remembered that my younger brother is also 14 years old, according to the concept of mountain people, he is also at the age of being able to start a family, looking at the smirking brother, he has reached my chin so high, at this moment I really have a sense of urgency, I can't let my brother who is five years younger than me get married first, well! I will definitely go to Tanya next year, say that I have to get the certificate first, and get the beautiful daughter-in-law to talk about other things.
Mom's trick is really good, so I urgently pay attention to the matter of marriage, and I can't delay anything this time.
Back home, I began to live a comfortable and quiet country life again.
The mountain village is like a paradise, there is no harassment of war, there is no shackles of all kinds of complicated events, a month passes quickly, as soon as the holidays are over, it is time for me to go back to school, this will be my last year in higher education, I am finally going to graduate, and it is time for me to marry a daughter-in-law, thinking about it makes people happy.
The journey back was very smooth, there was no war here in Xiangtan, but there was an extra tax burden, so I only needed to pay more money to come back.
When he arrived at school, he gave him 15 gold coins and letters from Xiao Feng's mother, and also handed him the letters and 5 gold coins that Rundong's family gave him.
It seems that Brother Rundong has to find time to do some odd jobs, but I am not afraid that I can take care of him.
At this point, my job as a postman is officially over.
When I returned to school, it was already a day later than the start time of the school, in fact, there was a war outside this year, and many of my classmates chose not to go home, so it was good that I could come back safely.
Because I can bring some hometown specialties with me when I go home, and the wolves can have a full meal again, and the pickles I was going to eat for half a month were all robbed by these guys, and when I came back, I felt as if I had been robbed by a group of victims
