Calm has returned to Bailu Village.

Bai Jiaxuan's prestige in the village seems to be much higher.

Walking on the road, there were villagers greeting Bai Jiaxuan everywhere.

"Patriarch!"

"Hello Patriarch!"

"The patriarch is going to the field!"

Bai Jiaxuan smiled and nodded in response.

Lu San followed by his side, and he was also happy.

Bai Jiaxuan became the patriarch, and Lu San also followed suit, feeling that everyone was a lot more polite to him.

Passing by Zhou Qiang's house, Bai Jiaxuan greeted casually: "What is Xiaoqiang busy with?" ”

"Make bacon." Zhou Qiang responded.

"Go back and try it for a while." Bai Jiaxuan and Lu San carried their hoes to the field.

"Okay!" Zhou Qiang continued to make bacon.

Zhou Qiang's life is still the same as before, brewing wine, grinding tofu, braised pork, etc.

However, the things that Zhou Qiang sells in the provincial capital have recently adjusted their prices, which are much higher, and he sells less wine and meat, but the money he earns is about the same as before.

The meat was sold less, so Zhou Qiang made the excess meat into bacon, which took a long time.

Wine, Zhou Qiang plans to change the process and make aged old wine, so that he is not afraid that he will not be able to sell it, and the longer it is placed, the more mellow the taste.

Dry goods or something, Zhou Qiang saved a lot, just put it like that, and sold it slowly.

Although the price of foreign goods has also increased, the amount of sales is still not less, and the money is more profitable. This was a bonus.

The buying and selling of foreign goods will never go out of style, and it will always be highly profitable.

After all, there is no shortage of people who worship foreign people.

A few days later.

Ancestral temple.

"I called everyone here today to talk about the cultivation of the ancestral hall.

It's time for our ancestral hall to be repaired, it hasn't been repaired for many years, and the roof is about to leak."

Bai Jiaxuan wants to repair the ancestral hall and convene everyone to discuss matters.

Why did Bai Jiaxuan build an ancestral hall?

First, the ancestral hall is indeed a little dilapidated and needs to be repaired.

The second is that Bai Jiaxuan has just become the patriarch and needs to do something, which can be regarded as the three fires of the new official.

Bai Jiaxuan wanted to repair the ancestral hall, so he first found the Lu family and discussed with Lu Taiheng.

Lu Taiheng proposed that the Bai family and the Lu family should produce more, and the clansmen should contribute less, and work together to repair the ancestral hall.

Seeing that Lu Taiheng agreed, Bai Jiaxuan called a meeting of the clansmen to talk about repairing the ancestral hall.

But after Bai Jiaxuan finished speaking, no one responded.

Especially Lu Zilin, he didn't say a word.

This is what the Lu family promised, and now they are pretending to be deaf and dumb.

Obviously, the Lu family repented. Or, at the beginning, it was to fool Bai Jiaxuan.

It costs money to repair the ancestral hall.

In these years, the common people have worked hard for a year, and it would be good to be able to mix food and clothing, how can there be extra money to repair the ancestral hall.

The Hereafter is much better.

After a year of hard work, ordinary people can still save thousands of yuan, or more, anyway, it is much stronger than this.

The common people of later generations will not worry about food, clothing, and happiness.

"What do you think, say something!" No one spoke, Bai Jiaxuan was a little embarrassed, and asked hard.

But everyone still didn't speak.

"Look, there are many places in this ancestral hall, and the walls have fallen off. This is for everyone's ancestors, and it is difficult to let it rain heavily and flood this place. The silence of the villagers made Bai Jiaxuan a little unhappy.

At this time, there was an old man, sitting near Bai Jiaxuan, who was a respected person in the village, and spoke, "Jiaxuan, everyone knows that the ancestral hall should be repaired, but this year's harvest is not good, and there is really no extra money." ”

This is also the truth, it is not easy for everyone to live, and let donate money to repair the ancestral hall, isn't this a mess?

"Uncle, it doesn't cost much, and the big guys don't have to pay anything.

Do whatever you can, just contribute.

The money used to repair the ancestral hall can be paid by me and the Lu family. When Bai Jiaxuan said this, he looked at Lu Zilin who was sitting on the side, "Zilin, Uncle Taiheng didn't suggest, let's have more of them, and let's get together more." ”

"What?" Lu Zilin pretended to be confused.

"Zilin, Uncle Taiheng said, let's pay more money to repair this ancestral hall." Bai Jiaxuan was patient and said it again.

"I don't know." Lu Zilin pretended to be confused. It is impossible for him to contribute money to help Bai Jiaxuan increase his face. The patriarch is not competitive, and he still helps the opponent to do things, impossible!

"Why don't you know?" Bai Jiaxuan was a little anxious, "I told Uncle Taiheng that day, and I told you." ”

"I was sick that day, I was dazed, I didn't know anything." Lu Zilin said casually, "I don't think I need to repair this ancestral hall."

Isn't that great?

Besides, what can I do if I fix it?

It's useless, so that we can't get rich, we can't be promoted, we can't have more food, and we can't have more oceans.

Jiaxuan, I know you're high-spirited.

But you can't use everyone's money to erect a monument for you. Lu Zilin said in the end, and the words were a little ugly.

This is Lu Zilin giving Bai Jiaxuan eye medicine.

But these words are the words of many people's hearts.

Why do you get benefits and let everyone contribute money and efforts? Why?

Lu Zilin made it clear that he would not cooperate with Bai Jiaxuan, and made it clear that he wanted to dismantle Bai Jiaxuan's platform.

Being scolded by Lu Zilin like this, Bai Jiaxuan's face suddenly became ugly, and he just wanted to get angry.

Lu Zilin continued: "Jiaxuan, if you want to cultivate alone, the fortune of the ancestors will be deducted from your head alone." ”

Lu Zilin was desperate.

He felt that no one would pay to support Bai Jiaxuan.

Lu Zilin just wants to make Bai Jiaxuan ugly, didn't you become the patriarch? Aren't you amazing? I can't do anything for you, what prestige do you have as a patriarch?

"Okay!" Bai Jiaxuan was completely enraged, he suppressed the fire and looked at everyone, "Let's say something." ”

Bai Jiaxuan hopes that someone will support him.

After all, Bai Jiaxuan had just been born and died for everyone.

But the crowd was silent.

No one wants to pay for the ancestral hall.

Just when everyone thought no one was talking, suddenly a voice sounded.

"Then what" Zhou Qiang spoke, "Patriarch, can I pay for it?" ”

The people around looked at Zhou Qiang with some surprise, thinking that Zhou Qiang was stupid and had a lot of money.

"Okay, why not." As soon as Bai Jiaxuan saw Zhou Qiang open his mouth to support, the anger in his heart suddenly dissipated a lot.

Finally not so embarrassing.

This is the first thing Bai Jiaxuan wants to do after becoming the patriarch.

If it can't be done by Lu Zilin, what else can be done in the future?

Isn't he, the patriarch, a vain?

"Patriarch, this ancestral hall is mainly dedicated to the Bai family and the Lu family.

In our village, the Bai family and the Lu family are big households.

However, it is the Bai family and our Zhou family who are paying for the construction of the ancestral hall now.

Is that the big family in the village in the future, that is, the Bai family and the Zhou family?

I didn't ask for anything, just put my family's ancestral tablet at the highest place, and put it together with the Bai family.

As for the deer family, let it go down.

After all, the Lu family can't even afford to repair the ancestral hall, and it's not a big family, so there's no such treatment, right? ”

(The setting here is that there are not only ancestral tablets of the Bai family and the Lu family in the ancestral hall, but also other surnames.) ）

Zhou Qiang's voice fell.

The faces of Lu Zilin and others surnamed Lu suddenly changed.

Slap in the face!

This is a slap in the face of Chi Guoguo!

Zhou Qiang: This is a lantern in the toilet, looking for death!

"Also" Zhou Qiang didn't wait for Lu Zilin and the others to get angry, and continued, "Bailu Village, there are other foreign surnames.

For example, Mr. Leng's Leng family, if Mr. Leng also pays this time, the ancestral tablet of the Leng family should also be put up.

Since the Lu family can't afford to pay the money, it means that the Lu family can't do it.

Don't offer the ancestral tablet so high.

There is no one in the descendants of the Lu family, and their ancestors will also be disgraced! ”

Come on, Zhou Qiang's words completely angered the people surnamed Lu.

No one has ever dared to scold someone to their face like this.

This is to smash the face of the Lu family, especially Lu Zilin, on the ground and step on it.

"Zhou Qiang, you are looking for death!"

"Zhou Qiang, I'm going to kill you!"

"Zhou Qiang, you bastard, I'll hammer you to death!"

At that moment, someone surnamed Lu pounced on Zhou Qiang, wanting to fight with Zhou Qiang.

Lu Zilin also stood up and wanted to pounce.

It's about to start.

Bai Jiaxuan immediately shouted, "This is the ancestral ancestral hall, stand up for me, no fighting!" ”

Bai Jiaxuan's voice fell.

The person surnamed Bai immediately stopped the person surnamed Lu.

The two sides confronted each other and did not fight on the spot.

Bai Jiaxuan also grabbed Lu Zilin.

"Zhou Qiang, you bastard, I promise I won't kill you and me!" Lu Zilin is still scolding.

Lu Zilin had never been so angry.

Never before has anyone been humiliated like this.

Lu Zilin felt like he was about to be blown up.

"Lu Zilin, in the ancestral ancestral hall, you swear, you insult the ancestors of the Lu family!" Zhou Qiang said lightly.

"I'm grass, Zhou Qiang, I'm going to kill you!" Lu Zilin was anxious to pounce, but was hugged by Bai Jiaxuan.

"Lu Zilin, you don't have the money to repair the ancestral hall, aren't you incompetent?

What's wrong with your incompetence as a junior, and your ancestors being humiliated? Zhou Qiang continued to arch the fire.

"Bai Jiaxuan, you let go of me! I'm going to kill this shit! Lu Zilin was anxious to show his teeth and claws, he was about to be blown up.

"White Deer Village! White Deer Village! Zhou Qiang shouted twice, "Don't call it Bailu Village in the future, just call it Baizhou Village!" The Lu family is defeated. ”

Zhou Qiang's voice fell.

"Nonsense!"

"Damn it!"

"Zhou Qiang, you are looking for death!"

"I'm grass***"

There was a lot of scolding at the scene.

I see that there will be another fight.

"That's it!" Bai Jiaxuan shouted, "Shut up for me!"

Xiaoqiang, you don't have to say a word! ”

Bai Jiaxuan was angry, and everyone quieted down again.

Bai Jiaxuan glanced at everyone, stayed on Lu Zilin for a while, and finally fell on Zhou Qiang, "Xiaoqiang, since you are willing to pay, then you can't let you go out for nothing, your family's tablet can be put up, just below the Bai family and the Lu family." ”

"Okay, Patriarch, I'll listen to you. However, next time the village needs to pay for it again, I will pay it back, and my family's ancestral tablet will be put on the top again. If you don't pay for it, the ancestral tablet will have to be moved down. ”

"Yes." Bai Jiaxuan nodded and agreed, "Is there anything else to do?" ”

"This, let me interject, my Leng family is also willing to pay." Mr. Leng also spoke.

"My Wang family also pays for it."

"My Li family also pays for it."

"My Zhang family also pays."

Come on, almost all people with foreign surnames in Bailu Village have to pay.

Zhou Qiang got off to a good start.

Originally, in the ancestral hall, there was nothing to do with anyone with a foreign surname.

Now, it seems that people with foreign surnames are going to raise their heads.

Still stepping on the face of the deer family and looking up.

Lu Zilin's face was pale at this time, and he couldn't wait to say, "You people with foreign surnames don't need to pay, my family and the Bai family are enough." ”

But Lu Zilin didn't say it. He didn't have the courage to give up money.

More people surnamed Lu looked at Lu Zilin, and when they saw that Lu Zilin didn't speak, they all lowered their heads.

To repair the ancestral hall, the person surnamed Lu does not pay for it, which is really a shame for the ancestors.

The people surnamed Lu felt that it was too embarrassing, and they had no face to look up, ashamed of their ancestors.

"Alright, that's it. We have money to pay, and we don't have money to contribute, it's okay. Bai Jiaxuan said loudly, "If it's okay, just disperse, and if you are willing to pay later, come to Mr. Leng to pay for registration and disperse." ”

The crowd dispersed.

Lu Zilin didn't know why, so he left in a hurry.

Zhou Qiang didn't leave.

"Patriarch, how much money are you going to pay? I'm lower than you. ”

"It probably takes to repair the ancestral hall, I'll give half of it."

"Then I'll be less than you, half of the half, and let the rest be out of the rest."

"Okay, Xiaoqiang, thank you for this incident." Bai Jiaxuan knew that if Zhou Qiang hadn't spoken, if he wanted to do it this time, he could only pay for it from the Bai family. Now, so much money is due to Zhou Qiang.

"Patriarch, whatever is polite, it should be. is a fool like Lu Zilin, who thinks that he should not build the ancestral ancestral hall. A few sarcastic words Lu Zilin, "Patriarch, I'll go back and get the money." Zhou Qiang is gone.

Not much.

As soon as Zhou Qiang arrived at the ancestral hall, he heard Lu Zilin babbling inside.

"This time, my Lu family and the Bai family have the same money, Mr. Leng, you can help me remember it clearly." Lu Zilin actually took the money.

He ran home and told me what had just happened.

Lu Taiheng was also about to be angry by Zhou Qiang's words.

Lu Taiheng has lived for most of his life, and he has never been scolded so miserably by such a descendant.

Regardless of any conspiracy and calculation, Lu Taiheng didn't say a word and paid for it.

It must be the same as the Bai family.

Zhou Qiang was not given a chance to pay.

Want the ancestral tablet of the Zhou family to move up? Dream!

"Hey, Lu Lao, you also took the money?

Is this taking out the coffin book?

Do you agree?

Did your dad give you money? Zhou Qiang looked sarcastic.

I don't know why, Zhou Qiang saw Lu Zilin, there was an evil fire, and he wanted to scold people.

Zhou Qiang has been in a bad mood recently.

I want to find someone to scold a few words.

"Zhou Qiang, I can't beat you to death!" When Lu Zilin saw Zhou Qiang, remembered what happened just now, he immediately became angry and pounced on Zhou Qiang.

Bai Jiaxuan was next to him and wanted to stop it.

"Smack!" Spank.

Lu Zilin was slapped by Zhou Qiang and knocked to the ground.

"Lu Lao Li, just like you, do it with me, can you do it? Go home and get your daughter-in-law to drink milk. ”

"I" Lu Zilin got up and wanted to do it.

"Smack!" Zhou Qiang gave Lu Zilin another slap.

Lu Zilin's left and right sides of his face were swollen.

This time, Lu Zilin was honest, took a few steps back, looked at Zhou Qiang, bowed his head and left.

Obviously, Lu Zilin was instigated.

"Xiaoqiang, you." Bai Jiaxuan didn't know what to say. He felt that Zhou Qiang was wrong, but he didn't know how to say it.

"Patriarch, I brought the money, you see?"

"Xiaoqiang, Lu Zilin sent the money over just now, the money is enough." Bai Jiaxuan was a little worried, there was enough money, and he didn't need Zhou Qiang's money.

"It's okay, patriarch, then I won't pay this time.

Next time you want to use money, if you speak, I will definitely support it. Zhou Qiang said very casually. He's just been in a bad mood lately, and he wants to get angry, but he doesn't want to do anything. After all, men also have a few days and are in a bad mood.

"Xiaoqiang, the wine and meat you have there will be sent over every day, and I will give you money. Cultivating the ancestral hall is a hard work, eat some meat, and the big guys will have the strength to work. ”

"Okay." Zhou Qiang nodded, "By the way, patriarch, there is a piece of flat land in the east of our village that no one uses, can you let me use it, I want to build a house." ”

"What? Building a house? Don't you have a house? ”

"My house is small, and I want to build a small courtyard house with two entrances and two exits."

"Okay. However, if you want to use that land, you need to register it with the county. ”

"Who should I go to register?"

"Find that, so let's take you another day."

"Okay, thank you, Patriarch."

Zhou Qiang wants to build a house.

The house he lives in now is either planting or farming, grinding tofu, making wine, and so on, doing a lot of things, which is a bit small.

Zhou Qiang wanted to rebuild a blue brick house.

Similar to Bai Jiaxuan's house.

However, if you don't have a cowshed in the backyard, you just live in it.

The livestock are still kept in their hometowns.

After the new house is built, Zhou Qiang plans to hire a long-term worker, and let the long-term worker do all the work at home.

Zhou Qiang plans to retire flat.
