Chapter 20 Repayment of Foreign Debts

It's hard to say whether the previous two-room couple was stupid or not, but the current Shan Erlang and Du Yingqiu must be smart people.

It's not a big deal, but Shan Chunhua is not used to seeing Siya, who was disgraced before, and now she has received the attention of her family and fellow villagers.

It is not small to say that it is not small, Huaxia has been a humane society since ancient times, not to mention that in Qingshan Village, this acre and three points of land, if the people's hearts are biased, it will be difficult to do everything in the village after the second room.

"Although we are Siya's father, we have a priority in everything. The wild boar was caught by Brother Sun, so naturally Brother Sun had the final say. ”

Shan Erlang didn't answer Shan Chunhua's words, and only returned the final resolution to Uncle Sun, no matter how bad it was, there were still young people who went up the mountain together to express their attitudes, which could convince people.

Uncle Sun saw that the villagers looked at him again, and with a wooden face, he carried the pig's head and rested it heavily on the wooden table in the middle of the courtyard.

"There are many people in the village who rely on the mountains to eat, but only a few of us hunters can really hunt. Wild boars are large and fierce, with an extremely sensitive sense of smell, and the most difficult thing to catch a wild boar is not to catch it, but to ambush it. ”

Although there are not many wild boars caught in the village, but there are many wild boars who have seen them, and there are always wild boars who go down the mountain to make trouble, looking at the huge size, but in fact, the chicken thieves are very good, so there are many people who nod their heads and agree with this.

"Siya is less than six years old, and she definitely can't catch the wild boar, but she pointed out where the wild boar is hiding." Uncle Sun looked at Shan Tao, his face was a little softer, although he was still a wooden face, but there was more kindness in his eyes, "Anyone who has gone up the mountain can testify." If it weren't for Siya telling the right place of the wild boar so far away, we wouldn't have been able to set a trap, let alone catch it smoothly. ”

After saying this, the other two hunters and the other young men who had gone up the mountain also came out to testify.

The taciturn Shan Dalang didn't forget about the wolf, "Siya also found the trace of the wolf, if she didn't remind us, someone would run away when they saw the wolf, and their lives might be lost." ”

The wolf is a cunning animal, when it is weak, it is strong, and when a person is frightened and runs away, it is equivalent to telling the wolf that he is a prey that can be bullied.

At this time, those who coaxed had nothing to say, but sighed about the good luck of the mountain peach.

"It is said that these four girls have been ignited by the gods, I can't see it as a fake ......"

"So, we can eat a piece of meat, thanks to Siya!"

"Eh, the wolf is fierce, but fortunately my man is fine."

Talking nonsense, no one thinks that Shan Tao is not worthy of this pig's leg, and those family members who went up the mountain even came up to praise Shan Tao for having good eyes.

The first to stir up trouble was put aside, and the half-grown children who used to love to revolve around her wanted to know more about wild boars and wolves at this time, and they all gathered around Shan Tao and chattered.

Shan Chunhua was angry and ashamed, and finally glared at Shan Tao, turned her head and covered her face and ran home to complain to Du Shi.

When it was time to eat meat at noon, all the people in the village who could walk the road came, and there must not be much meat for a person, but even a little meat scrap and a bite of broth were enough to satisfy their cravings.

The one in charge is the Jin family, the Jin family does all the housework well, and the cooking skills are also well-known in the village, and every family loves to invite her.

A spoonful of soup with meat, as well as a few pieces of stewed and flavorful radish, were poured into the bowl of the mountain peach, and the Kim family squeezed his eyes at the mountain peach.

The family of three met on a table, and the meat in the bowl of Shan Tao and Du Yingqiu was a complete piece, and there were a lot of radishes, and there was only poor meat residue in Shan Erlang's bowl.

Yamajiro took a sip of hot soup with tears in his eyes: "When will I be able to wash away the sins of the original body~"

"Dad, you work hard, you are a talent, and you have reduced the food tax for the family, and they will definitely look down on you." Yamamoto smiled and gloated, the previous Yamajiro was really annoying, although the core has been changed now, but it is inevitable that there will be some residual effects.

Du Yingqiu also encouraged Shan Erlang seriously, "After planting in the spring next year, the county will be opened, and you will come on." ”

Shan Tao, who had just divided half of the meat pieces into Shan Erlang, looked puzzled: "Mother, what are you cheering on?" ”

Where was Shan Erlang willing to eat the meat in his daughter's bowl, so he hurriedly went back and drank his soup in one gulp, "Come on is hard work, dad will go back and work hard to write silently, you two eat slowly." ”

Mu Chao wants to be an official, and it is also the process of the imperial examination, by taking the examination, one is that the official students can get a quota, called the apprentice, and the other is that the self-taught person goes to the government to take the county examination, which is called the township tribute.

The county has tried to show talents, and for show talents, the imperial court already has a series of rewards such as tax reductions and exemptions, and is also qualified to be a teacher.

Although it is a big pot of rice that the whole village eats together, Dafang still has to eat with Du Shi as usual, and there is a mountain spring flower with red eyes.

After eating his own broth, Du Yingqiu stayed to help the Jin family clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and Shan Tao found Uncle Sun.

"Uncle Sun, you're going to sell wild goods in a few days, right? Can I sell you pork legs? ”

Uncle Sun had just finished cleaning up the knives for killing pigs, and paused and said, "If you want to eat it for the New Year, don't you keep it for yourself?" Boar trotters are a good thing. ”

How can the mountain peach who has only eaten a few meals of meat not be hungry for pig's trotters, she is now a child's body, and she has a big appetite when she grows her body, looking at the fat and oily pig's trotters or swallowing saliva and shaking her head, "Our family still owes silver, and the New Year is over, and the village chief should pay it back first." ”

It happened that the village chief also heard this, he came to discuss with Uncle Sun about the worship of the ancestral hall, and looked at the sensible Shan Tao and was pleased, so he simply asked Uncle Sun about the price of wild boar, and wiped out the money owed by the second room on the spot.

"The New Year is just to buy New Year's goods, Siya, you will sell this pork leg to grandpa and me."

The pig's leg is weighed, a full 28 pounds weighs, the pork market sells for 10 wen a pound, wild boar meat is rare, and the world thinks that the game is rare, and the price can be more than doubled.

The second room still owes the village chief's family more than 600 yuan, Shan Tao counted it in his heart, and said seriously: "Grandpa the village chief, since it is taken by the village, it has to be cheaper than the market price, this pork leg is not worth the money owed to you, you say the number, and you will make up for it after the year." ”

Left and right is a matter of dozens of yuan, for the average farmer, dozens of yuan is very valuable, but for the rich village chief's family in the village, it is really insignificant.

"I know that you are a good boy, but this wild boar leg is rare, the price is not low, grandpa does not lose money when he buys you, and the debt will be settled." The village chief pinched the pigtail of the mountain peach, and after a few clicks, he decided the matter, and then chatted with Uncle Sun, "My granddaughter-in-law should be launched these days, and your daughter-in-law is about to give birth, right?" ”

Pig's trotters are conducive to milk production, and Uncle Sun didn't plan to sell the pork leg he got, and he was going to keep it for his daughter-in-law to eat during confinement.

"Yes, I'm about to give birth, so please come and drink the full moon wine then." Uncle Sun is older than Shan Erlang, the same age as Shan Erlang, but his daughter-in-law is the first child, and he can't hide his joy, and he smiled and said to Shan Tao, "You are a blessed baby, and you will also come to eat full moon wine when the time comes, so that the doll will also be touched by your blessings." ”

Shan Tao took this matter to heart, obediently said goodbye to the two adults, found his aunt and mother-in-law, and rolled up his sleeves to help clean up the mess.
