"It's all in the past."

Cheng Dazhu waved his hand, "No one knows what the future will be like; I only hope that the people in the clan can live well, and the younger generations will have a good future, so that our Cheng clan will not repeat the helplessness of having to flee the famine. ”

When these words came out, the eyes of the patriarch and the village chief brought out a bit of melancholy.

Away from home, going out to escape the famine, one is due to the weather; The second is that there are no capable people in the clan because they are not wealthy.

If there are capable people who support the clan, it is not that they cannot hold on for a period of time; Maybe the drought will be over in just a few months, and who knows what the future holds.

In the end, the most important thing is to have enough confidence.

"We are united in our hearts and hope for the prosperity of our clan." The patriarch sighed: "We have been walking in this direction for many years, but the reality makes us have to bow our heads, the clan can't even eat, how can we prosper?" ”

Cheng Dazhu bowed his head, "The tree moves the dead and the living moves, we have come to the northwest, and from now on the northwest is our root; With peace of mind and the care of King Zhou's son, we are much better off than in our hometown. ”

"Yes! Much better than in my hometown. "With the care of the superiors, they have never encountered great difficulties since they came to the northwest; At that time in my hometown, I had to look at the faces of the county officials, they didn't have them in the northwest, and they just lived honestly, "Fortunately, I met the prince of Zhou, so that I can live a peaceful life now." ”

The village elder smiled slightly, "With Mingyi's light, we have gained a lot of benefits." ”

"It's serious, Yiyi has always been smart and filial, sensible and reasonable; At that time, the situation was undecided, the identity of the prince of Zhou was unknown, and the clansmen were still willing to go with them, which was a good leader led by the patriarch and the village chief, and they trusted you. ”

Cheng Dazhu understood that they did not believe in Mingyi, but the patriarch and the village head.

The patriarch and the village chief looked at each other and smiled, and I have to say that the cognitive praise is pleasant.

The village chief continued: "They have no choice but to go with us; Oh big pillar! It has to be your family who is tolerant and generous, and is still willing to lend a helping hand and take them with you when you have repeatedly offended them. ”

"Yes." The patriarch stroked his palms and smiled.

Cheng Dazhu was happy, and there was a little smile on his face; The patriarch and the village chief saw that the string in their hearts was slightly loose, the two looked at each other, and the patriarch spoke.

"Dazhu, the Cheng family has today, and you have made great contributions; However, where there are people, there are disputes, and there are also indispensable people in the same clan, today they gathered a lot of people to make trouble in front of your house, it is not right for them, please forgive me, and I and the village chief will punish them. ”

They spoke well, lowered their posture to appease, and Cheng Dazhu went down the steps, "Our family is thanks to the patriarch and the village chief to take care of us, and when the two of you say this, I will listen to it like this; In the end, he is a member of a clan, and there is no life and death enmity. ”

The last sentence is Cheng Dazhu's clear attitude towards the two of them, and it is also for them to understand; If the people of the clan make such a fuss like this, even if there is a great enmity between them, it will evolve into a fuse that can no longer be fused.

It's no more than three.

Their family has the ability, but it will not unconditionally tolerate those who are greedy.

Are they weak and justified?

There is no such reason in the world.

"We understand, O Great Pillar! We all know that you can rest assured that this will never happen again. The patriarch gave a promise.

The village chief nodded in agreement.

Cheng Dazhu took it lightly, no longer talking about the troubles of the clansmen, and instead talked to them about the soap.

"Now, I can only ask him for advice, and if it is possible, we don't mind giving some of the profits to our people; But our family is not a soft persimmon, and everyone wants to pinch it and take a bite. ”

The patriarch stood up and said, "Dazhu has a big heart, and we all remember your kindness. ”

Not only Cheng Dazhu, but also Mingyi and other Sanfang people in this 'you'.

"The patriarch must not, how dare you get your courtesy." Cheng Dazhu and Cheng Yuanxi hurriedly got up and drove sideways, and Cheng Yuanxi stepped forward to help the patriarch.

When the patriarch got up, he looked up at them, "You are the heart of the clan, and you deserve this gift. ”

Cheng Dazhu smiled and sat back down; handed the third Cheng Yuanxi a look, Cheng Yuanxi replied to him with a reassuring look, and the corners of his lips smiled.

"Patriarch, please be seated."

"Okay."

The patriarch sat back down.

Cheng Yuanxi said: "What is the business of our family now, it is difficult to tell you for the time being; When we have the news, let's sit down and talk carefully, how about it? ”

"Yes, naturally yes, then we will wait for your good news."

The purpose of the patriarch and the village chief to come here was exceeded, and they did not stay longer, but left first.

Cheng Dazhu picked up the fruit and nibbled on it, and the smile on his face fell, "This matter will be delayed for a while." ”

"Daddy?"

Cheng Yuanxi's heart trembled.

Cheng Dazhu sneered, "The patriarch and the village chief are both good, dedicated to the clan and the clansmen; But there are people who do not know what is good or bad, who think they are wise, who are jealous, and who act foolishly. Such people do not deserve benefits, let them be in a hurry. ”

"My son knows, so that's it; Let's talk about them for half a month, anyway, we borrowed the name of the prince of Zhou. "They still dare to go to the prince of Zhou.

The attitude of the prince of Zhou is very clear, he only values Mingyi, as for Cheng Dazhu's family and the Cheng family, it is just incidental.

Seeing the meaning expressed by the prince of Zhou, which of them dares to come up?

Grasping this point, Cheng Dazhu and Cheng Yuanxi are both in their chests.

"In this matter, you asked Mingyi to find an opportunity to cross the road in front of the prince of Zhou, and borrowed his name; I have to let the prince of Zhou know that our family has no calculation for the prince of Zhou. ”

It's better to say it yourself than to know it from someone else's mouth.

If they really pull the people of the clan to develop their careers together, the fact that their clan relied on the prince of Zhou to get up will definitely be known to others; Take the initiative to find the prince of Zhou Wang to make it clear, it is better to know early, and it is better to know it later, and it is disadvantage to know it later.

"Okay, I'll talk to Yiyi in the evening." Cheng Yuanxi thought about how to tell his daughter.

In the eyes of their own families, there is nothing wrong with this, just a situation.

But outsiders don't see it that way.

The most fearful thing is that the prince of Zhou will be more careful.

The father and son returned to the kitchen, and neither said anything about what had been discussed; Immersed in making soap, no one else asked, after all, Cheng Dazhu and Cheng Yuanxi's father and son are the backbone of this big family, the talker.

If they don't say it, it means that it is not the time to say it.

In the evening, the crazy three-room ladies and men returned to Cheng's house, which would make Cheng Mingli return home from school.

Mingyi took the sugar gourd he bought and stuffed it into his hand, "Brother, eat sugar, the sugar gourd we bought this time is sweet and sour." ”

The sugar gourd I bought before was sour, and the sweetness couldn't hide the sourness.
