Chapter 36: The Family Background
Chen Xiuyan didn't mind what others thought of her, but suddenly a person came forward to defend herself, and her heart was uncontrollably warm, Luo Wenqian was really a good person.
"Little aunt, my second brother is a bit rigid, but he is a good person, and he will know after getting along slowly." Luo Mingxin is a delicate little girl, for the sake of family harmony, she told Chen Xiuyan about Luo Mingchu's goodness.
"Well, I'm an elder, don't worry, the elders are all tolerant." Chen Xiuyan said with a smile.
When the two of them brought tea to the hall, the room was already full, a couple with gray hair sat on the main seat, five couples sat on the left and right sides, and many children were frolicking around, a few were still holding corn flour tortillas in their hands, and the remaining food on the table of the eight immortals had been swept away at this time.
"Wen Qian, this is your daughter-in-law, can she be a good family at such a young age? Let's let the second aunt help you. The woman on the throne looked Chen Xiuyan up and down, with disdain and jealousy in her eyes.
"Not necessarily." Luo Wenqian vetoed it.
"Second grandfather, our two families split up more than 20 years ago, this is still nice to say, to put it mildly, when the family let grandpa sell himself as a slave, at that time my grandfather's name was crossed out from the family tree." Luo Mingqing doesn't give face to this family.
"The foundation of this land was bought by my grandfather from the Lizheng family, and it was at that time that the household was re-established, and the Lizheng family was benevolent, and after my grandfather got rid of the slave nationality, he re-entered the family tree, and we were considered to have the same surname again, but the relationship was just an ordinary neighbor."
"When my grandparents were still there, you felt shameless, and you didn't dare to come to the door to fight the autumn breeze, but now you look at the absence of elders in the family, thinking that we can't be bullied."
"Our family has the paperwork of leaving the house, the second grandfather, you personally pressed the fingerprint, and the Lizheng family also has a copy, what, do you really want us to take out that to make everyone shameless, you can be honest."
"It's also because of our heavy salute that we call you the second grandfather, and no one can say anything if you don't call it."
Luo Mingqing crossed his hands on his hips and sneered at the people in the room.
"Luo Mingqing, Wenqian is a scholar, how can you be so uneducated." Luo Changxi was annoyed and angry, pointing at Luo Mingqing and blowing his beard and glaring.
"We are here to drink the tea of our nephew and daughter-in-law today, there are no elders in your family, we are here to care about you, let you be all courtesy, this delicate girl in Chenjia Village is a loser, without us to show you, the Luo family will be Huo Huo by her." Luo Changxi's mother-in-law, He Cuiju, said heartbrokenly.
Chen Xiuyan said that she was shot while lying down, but everyone kicked her nose in the face, how could she bear it, "The second aunt should worry less when she is so old, the world is so big, there are so many people, you have to worry about how other people's families are doing, isn't it that you are full and idle, how is our family, don't worry about you, an outsider." ”
"Okay, it's only been a day since you married into Luojiatang Village, and you have appeared in your original form, Wen Qian, take a good look at it, and hand over your home to such a person, can you rest assured?" He Cuiju was angry, and as soon as her eyes rolled, she began to separate.
"Well, I'm very relieved, so I don't have to worry about the second uncle and second aunt." Luo Wenqian said indifferently, "Let's go back after drinking tea." ”
"Okay, you Luo Wenqian, it's not the Luo family's kind that really has an outward heart, you have to guard against it in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and you still call people uncle with a smile when your family is emptied." Luo Changxi made a faceless fuss, no matter how much he coveted his brother's family, it was impossible to rob it, otherwise Li Zheng would not be able to spare himself.
The whole family squirmed and didn't want to move, but Luo Changxi took the lead and left, and the juniors drank the tea that Luo Mingxin poured like a cow drinking water, and the hot teeth grinned without missing a drop, and then left with a smile on their faces.
"This virtue is also embarrassed to call yourself an elder, I'm sorry." Luo Mingqing took a sip and closed the door with a "snap".
"Uncle, aunt, I went to the school with Ming Nian." Luo Mingchu came out of the room with a bookbag on his back, and Luo Mingnian also carried a bookbag with a smaller size.
"Well, wait for Ming and Qing to pick it up at night, don't walk around."
"Got it, uncle."
Seeing this, Luo Mingqing hurriedly went to the backyard, "I'll go to catch the donkey cart, you come with me." ”
"Ming Chu and Ming Nian studied in the Ning family, they took a day off yesterday, and today they began to return to normal, and the family usually waits for dinner when they get home." Luo Wenqian explained, "So the family eats dinner later than the average family. ”
"Then you have to bring some food for the two children, otherwise you will study for a day, and you will have to go home to have dinner, but you must not be hungry, it is the time to grow your body." Chen Xiuyan twisted her eyebrows, then went to the room, and when she came out again, she directly took the oil paper and went to the backyard.
"Thank you, little auntie."
Luo Wenqian heard Luo Mingnian's sweet thank you in the backyard in the front yard, and his heart beat uncontrollably.
When Chen Xiuyan returned to the front yard, Luo Mingxin pulled someone to do the handover, and gave Chen Xiuyan all the keys to the house.
In addition, there are also family land deeds, land deeds, etc., Luo Mingxin is not afraid that Chen Xiuyan will be greedy, after all, the land deeds and land deeds are left in the government, and the head of the household can be found out at a glance, and others are not qualified to buy and sell, and they can only be traded in the presence of the head of the household.
Chen Xiuyan was a little surprised that the Luo family's family background, there were 60 acres of fertile land, and all of them were tenant out, because Luo Wenqian had the reputation of being a talent, and the family's fields did not need to pay taxes, so they didn't work, and only relied on the grain handed over by the tenants to cover the family's expenses, and half of the grain was sold to save money.
The family's surplus money to buy more fertile land is also possible, but the Luo family did not buy any more land, Chen Xiuyan thought about it and asked, "Xiucai is exempt from field tax for 80 acres, and the family is exempt from 60 acres, is the remaining 20 acres for the rest of Luojiatang Village?" ”
Luo Mingxin was a little surprised, but then nodded, "The twenty acres of the clan field are under the name of the uncle, and it is precisely because of this that whether it is Lizheng or the rest of the village, compared to the second grandfather's family, they are closer to our family." ”
"They are thinking that Uncle will take the exam again, and when he becomes a master, he will be able to avoid 400 acres of land, everyone can wait, and they will not make enemies with us, and they will have a township test in August."
"The Ning family of Ningxing Village is so famous, and it is not an official, and now the younger generation of Ning Youjin is the most outstanding, and there are successors."
"If Uncle becomes an official in the future, and Ming Chu and Ming Nian can also get ahead, Luo Jiatang will not be able to hold us." Luo Mingxin said arrogantly.
"Little aunt, you may still be able to be Mrs. Decree in the future."
Chen Xiuyan will not pour cold water, and inexplicably has some trust in Luo Wenqian, thinking that he has changed his life in this life and is not dead, whether Ning Youjin's life wheel will change, to be honest, she is looking forward to the future.
