The patriarch nodded, "There are many people in the clan who know how to repay their kindness. ”

"What I am afraid of is those who are not satisfied, who give them this, and want that, and want everything; Lack of greed, never reflect on whether you are worthy or not. "He is an old man, and he has seen many people, all kinds of people, and some people are really greedy and stupid.

"You! Don't worry, the young people in our clan are sensible, and a few of them are crooked; That's because the elders in the family don't do anything, and the retribution is on the juniors, most of them are good. ”

The patriarch said this because he knew in his heart, "There are always a few people in each generation who are not clear, and there will be no mistakes if there are people who are in charge of the overall situation." ”

The head of the village bowed.

"Not bad."

"So let's go and find out now?" The patriarch looked sideways slightly, and looked at the village chief.

The village chief sighed and nodded, "Let's go, together." ”

The two got up and went out.

All the way to Cheng Dazhu's house, the gate of the courtyard was open, and it was not closed; It can be seen that the people of Cheng Dazhu's family can deal with the people in the clan, but they are not broken.

"It's a good sign, go in." The village chief stepped into the courtyard of the family, but did not step down the steps to enter the house; Instead, he stood on the steps and shouted, "Dazhu, is anyone at home?" ”

The patriarch then stood beside him.

After the village chief shouted, no one answered, and the patriarch said: "They should be behind, I'll shout, you can rest for a while." ”

"Okay."

The patriarch opened his throat, "Dazhu, are you at home?" ”

"Dazhu, are you at home?"

"Big Pillar."

Cheng Dazhu and others, who were busy working together in the big kitchen, were busy making soap, and they didn't forget to chat a few words in their spare time; This also caused the village chief and the patriarch to shout a few times in a row and no one heard them, and when they were quiet, Cheng Mingyi heard the shouting at the tip of his ear before he looked up and said to Cheng Dazhu.

"Grandfather, someone seems to be calling you outside."

"Is there one?" Cheng Dazhu glanced up at him, got up and patted the dirt on his body, and when he saw that he couldn't get rid of it, he could only give up, "I'll take a look." ”

When I walked to the door, I heard it this time, and it was clear.

"Someone called me, you guys continue to be busy, I'll take a look." Cheng Dazhu made a gesture and walked out.

Cheng Yuanxi also heard it, it was the voice of the patriarch, "Dad, the voice is like the patriarch, if he comes, the village chief will definitely come; Maybe it's for someone from the tribe who made trouble before. ”

Cheng Dazhu sighed lightly.

"I know, you can go with me."

"Done." Xinshen got up and went out with Cheng Dazhu, he understood what his father meant.

Their soap business can no longer be monopolized, and when they go to see the patriarch and the village chief, they are probably going to talk to them in the open; The business can no longer be exclusive, fortunately, he has already had a draft, and in the end, the biggest benefit can only be theirs.

Luo Cuihua frowned as she saw them go, turning her head to look at the other two sons; sighed silently, business can no longer be hidden.

"Mother, what are you sighing for?" Cheng Yuannan asked.

Luo Cuihua waved her hand and continued to pack.

didn't get an answer, Cheng Yuannan was stunned for a moment, his mother was unhappy, why didn't he tell them.

Cheng Yuandong roughly guessed what his father said before, as well as his mother's loss at this time.

"Second brother, don't ask."

Cheng Yuannan was slightly confused, "Big brother, do you know why my mother sighed?" ”

"I know, our soap business is going to cooperate with the clan." After Cheng Yuandong finished speaking, he thought that his family would explode, but he didn't expect everyone to accept it well, and he was a little overwhelmed.

Cheng Yuannan smiled at this time, "Cooperate with each other, we can't hide the things we have known for a long time." ”

That kind of thing is more open than Luo Cuihua's eyes, but it makes her mind confused.

“.” Cheng Yuandong glanced at him, looked up at his mother, who was buried in work and didn't speak, and just wanted to give him a kick.

Feng Juhua shook her head, also not very happy; How can they be willing to share the money they have only earned for a long time?

"This business was originally explored by Mingyi, but he didn't take anything, and took the entire clan with him"

She couldn't go on with the rest of the words; Besides, she is dissatisfied with the clan and has no clan in her heart, and this kind of crime is likely to make the people in the clan treat her coldly.

The reality is that even if you don't feel wrong, that's the way it is.

Suspect people are poor, afraid of being rich, hate people, and laugh at people.

Li Lianhua shook her head, also feeling uncomfortable; But she couldn't change the upcoming facts, she could only say: "The third brother should be measured." ”

"The third brother is the most flexible person in our family, and he shouldn't suffer much." The losses they should suffer are visible to them, and they let out the profits of their families to help the clan.

As long as the bulk of the profits belong to their family, it is okay to help the clan.

After thinking about it, even though there was a lot of displeasure, loss and boredom, I finally saw a little.

As soon as you enter the courtyard house.

Cheng Dazhu and Cheng Yuanxi, father and son, welcomed the patriarch and the village chief into the hall and sat down, and Cheng Yuanxi went to his courtyard to get some pastries and fruits and put them on a plate and send them; At this time, Cheng Dazhu ended his greeting with them and cut to the chase.

The father and son sat opposite the patriarch and the village chief, and the patriarch spoke first.

"Dazhu, Yuanxi, those noisy people in the clan don't mean in the clan, we just heard about your family, so we hurried to take a look."

"The patriarch is serious, it's not easy for everyone, I understand." Hit haha and steady, don't say anything else.

Cheng Yuanxi nodded beside him and handed them the pastries, "Patriarch, village chief, you taste it; These are all given to us by Mingyi's filial piety, and it is said that they were brought by the prince of Zhou. ”

"Thank you." The patriarch took it, and saw that the village chief also took a bite of it; A smell of mung beans, soft in the mouth, not sticky to the teeth, "delicious, I haven't eaten such a delicious mung bean cake, so Zhou Wangfu can still eat such a good snack in winter." ”

The village chief looked at it, and just wrapped it in a handkerchief.

Cheng Dazhu and the three of them saw it, but they didn't see it, and the village chief took it back to the children at home to eat; They all understand that there are many good men in the clan, and there are not a few who feel sorry for their children, and they will bring a little bit of delicious food to their children.

I don't want them to eat much, I just want them to taste it.

"Yes! The prince of Zhou was generous and sent some over. ”

As soon as Cheng Yuanxi said it, the patriarch and the village chief understood in their hearts; He was telling them that this business was linked to the prince of Zhou Wang, and combined with some details he had learned from his juniors before, they expressed their understanding.

"What Yuan Xi said is very true, the prince of Zhou is a person of grace, Mingyi saved him once, for Mingyi's sake, he also took care of us." The patriarch was sincerely grateful.

Today's living and working in peace and contentment is what they dream of on the way to escape the famine.

They didn't find a place to settle down, but they got good results because of their kindness; The entire clan followed suit, but there were still people who always remembered the good days of Cheng Dazhu's family.

If it had been him, he would have been impatient.

Even if it is a patriarch, it can't be a true selfless and selfless person.
