Chapter 40: Shopping
At two o'clock, when Liu took the cubs home, Lao Wangtou was taking his sons to make a new bamboo fence.
"Daddy! Grandpa! Uncle, uncle! Xiao Ayu saw them from a distance and shouted happily.
When several people heard the voice, they looked up, and when they saw Xiao Ayu, they all smiled and responded.
It's still a girl, and I will say hello when I go home, and a few stinky boys will never come home to call people.
Feng and Ma were both cleaning up in the house, and when they heard the movement outside, they both smiled.
There is an extra girl in the family, and it is really different, and everyone is much happier.
Wang Wulang couldn't hold it back for a long time, and as soon as he stepped into the yard, he shouted excitedly: "We caught a pheasant!" There are three of them! ”
Saying that, Liu had already put down the back basket, her back basket was not too big, and she barely stuffed three pheasants into it, and the wild vegetables she dug were on the surface.
It's just spring, and there aren't many wild vegetables, and they haven't grown much taller, but all kinds of wild vegetables add up, and they can still cook a big pot.
The Wang family couldn't care about looking at the wild vegetables anymore, they all stared at Liu's back basket, and when they saw Liu take out the pheasant in the back basket, their eyes were round.
"It's really a pheasant?!" Wang Chuanman ran up with a big stride, picked up the nearest pheasant, checked it in his hand, and said happily, "This pheasant must weigh 2 catties." ”
Compared with domestic chickens, pheasants are usually only two or three catties a, especially when this has just passed the winter, and pheasants can weigh two catties, which is already good.
The old king was also very happy, his family had just received grain from the imperial court, but everyone was reluctant to take it to eat, so they basically divided a part and used it as grain.
Compared with ordinary grain and grain varieties, the effect is naturally much worse, but they have no choice but to use it reluctantly.
"How did you catch pheasants? Did you find the pheasant's nest? ”
Wang Dalang is very excited, he is 16 years old this year and still has a childlike heart, but the responsibility dictates, because he is the boss of his grandchildren, so he can't follow to play.
Speaking of this, Wang Wulang was very excited.
"It's a long story, we originally planned to go to find the fourth aunt, but suddenly a pheasant flew out on the road, so we hurried to catch it."
Speaking of which, Wang Wulang sold a pass: "Guess how we caught the three pheasants?" ”
"How did you catch it? Didn't you catch it by hand? Oh, are you doing a trap? Wang Sanlang was also very curious.
In the past, after farming, they would also go out to catch pheasants, but basically they went ten times, and it would be good to catch them once.
The pheasant is very flexible, very difficult to catch, unlike the hare that walks on the ground, the pheasant can fly when frightened, and they have no wings, how can they catch up?
"It's thanks to our family!" Wang Wulang opened his hand exaggeratedly, "Don't you know, when we went to catch that pheasant, Ayu and the little sheep caught two!" Isn't it amazing? ”
"How is that possible?!"
Seeing his brothers stunned and shocked, Wang Wulang felt extremely satisfied.
He continued: "I just think that our sister Ayu is a very lucky person, do you think when we caught the pheasant so smoothly in previous years?" And when did you catch three? It's all thanks to Sister Ayu! ”
Not to mention Wang Dalang and a few people, even the old Wang Tou and them were stunned when they heard it.
What? Ayu can actually catch pheasants?
"Fourth daughter-in-law, is what Gorou said true?" The old king was too curious.
Otherwise, in normal times, he usually doesn't walk around and talk to his daughter-in-law.
Liu hurriedly said: "When I came, they were all caught, and I didn't see it clearly. ”
In fact, Liu didn't believe it very much.
How old is Ayu, it looks like a two-year-old doll, can a two-year-old doll catch a pheasant?
That's not a joke!
Wang Erlang scratched his head and said very puzzledly: "Sister Ayu is already very powerful, didn't she kill the giant python for us before?" ”
Anyway, in Wang Erlang's eyes, he felt that Sister Ayu was probably the reincarnation of some kind of immortal, which was already powerful.
Everyone was reminded by Wang Erlang like this, and they remembered the python that was so scared to death.
Yes, they are very different.
couldn't help but look at Xiao Ayu, her eyes full of curiosity.
Xiao Ayu blinked, even more dazed than them, what were they all looking at themselves?
Wang Chuanman walked up to Xiao Ayu and asked her, "How did you catch it?" ”
And that little lamb, with only four hooves, has not even grown horns, how can he catch pheasants?
Hearing this, Xiao Ayu stretched out her two little hands, made a gesture of embracing, and hugged her in the middle.
"That's it!" Xiao Ayu compared the movements, hugged Wang Chuanman's legs, raised his little head, and said, "Dad, that's how to catch it!" ”
That's too easy, isn't it?
"Maybe some pheasants that haven't been to the winter are frozen, and they haven't recovered much."
This is all you can do to comfort yourself.
At this time, Mrs. Wang, who was in Yongding County, also testified with the villagers, and the county Wei made a verdict on the spot based on the facts and confessions ascertained.
Shanyang Village is easy to eat, which violates human ethics and causes panic in the local area. Because the children's relatives are not investigated, they only urge the local squire, Li Zheng and the village chief to supervise the villagers who eat the children, and if they commit crimes again in the future, they will be punished according to the crime.
In addition, Shanyang Village took the lead in making trouble, and ruled that all the villagers of Hujia Village were not guilty, and Shanyang Village was responsible for the cost of decoction and medicine for all the injured in the two villages.
At the same time, after the spring tax is exempted, Shanyang Village is responsible for Hujia Village's autumn tax this year, as well as all forced labor before June, and also compensates some grain and money.
The head of Shanyang Village was removed from his post, his family was not allowed to hold the post of village chief for 10 years, and the villagers who were paralyzed by snake venom and those who did not suffer from snake venom but participated in the disturbance were also sentenced to prison terms.
For the sake of the busy spring and the lack of manpower in the village, they are allowed to be detained and imprisoned after the spring is busy, and they are also allowed to work instead of prison.
"Cheap them!" The villagers of Hujia Village were not very satisfied with this result, but the county magistrates were sentenced.
The group of people in Shanyang Village should also be punished, and those who should be compensated should also be compensated, there is nothing to say.
It's just that I have some anger in my heart, and I always want to beat the people of Shanyang Village hard, but fortunately, Village Chief Hu has been appeased.
After the verdict, it was already a moment of unitary time, and the sky had not yet darkened, but the time was not too early.
It was impossible to rush back to the village.
Inns and restaurants naturally can't afford to live.
simply outside the county office, huddled by the thatched pile in an alley, and stayed up all night.
Early the next morning, the shops in the county opened one after another, and the cries of various shops also sounded next to each other.
Village Chief Hu said: "I went to the rice grain store to see if there was any grain for sale, and the family did not have enough money." ”
When he came, he brought with him a few taels of silver.
Mrs. Wang also brought silver, which was given by Dr. Hu and his family to buy snake gallbladders.
"Village chief, if you see it, bring us 20 catties too, and I'll give you money when I go back."
Village Chief Hu nodded: "This is easy to say." ”
Isn't it just a matter of convenience.
The other four villagers also said that they wanted to buy grain seeds and wanted to borrow some money from Village Chief Hu, who took them to the rice store.
Mrs. Wang went to another street, planning to buy something for Xiao Ayu to go back.
As soon as he arrived at the street, he saw Zhang Zhan carrying two packages in his hands, and when he saw Mrs. Wang, he strode over.
"Old man, please stay."
