Chapter 187: On the Highway (Two Chapters in One)

This morning, Mrs. Xu was very busy.

was so busy that she didn't even notice that her granddaughter was gone.

First of all, early in the morning, Wangjiagou Xinli Zheng came.

This Xinli is using Wang Laoba as his opening remarks, and first took the initiative to report to Mrs. Xu and Liu Laozhu, saying that Wang Laoba has been very honest recently, and he has been staying at home after being beaten, probably because he is afraid.

Because some time ago, Wang Li was dying outside, and the cause of death was said to be accidental drowning, but who dares to guarantee that he was not assassinated?

Wang Laoba's two elder brothers went out and did not come back, and so far there has been no letter to tell them whether they are dead or alive.

After all, it is not easy to travel, and if you go a long way, it is normal to walk back and forth for a few months. Even if he reported to the yamen, the yamen just told him to wait. The only thing that is certain at the moment is that no one has found the bodies of these two men.

So Wang Laoba will be scared if he thinks too much. After being beaten, he only drank at home, and he didn't dare to go out to cause trouble at will, for the first time in so many years, he was so honest.

After reporting on Wang Laoba's situation, this Xinli asked Mrs. Xu with some embarrassment if she could accept the frozen fish in their village, which was the purpose of his visit.

"Don't worry, I won't accept those who are close to the Lizheng family in the previous term. If you like to cause trouble in the village on weekdays, I won't accept it and sell it to you."

Wangjiagou's new Li Zheng hesitated, and then continued to say that what he wanted to sell to Xu Jiayu was the flood that caused Erdaohe to go to their village, and those villagers who had traveled to Erdaohe had been convenient.

For example, those who gave the vacant house a fire, gave hot water, and those who did not casually accuse Erdaohe of stealing things, and also testified that they helped pick up poultry.

Wangjiagou's new Li Zheng didn't want to mention it, but in fact, there are good people in their village.

Human nature is inherently complex.

In the past, he followed the previous Li Zheng to do evil things, and there was the helplessness of living in the village to be gregarious, if he didn't follow the previous Li Zheng, he would be squeezed out wherever he pointed out.

There are also people who have found that after being a wicked person, it is indeed convenient, and life will be better. After the villagers of Wangjiagou tasted the sweetness, they were even more united.

The new Li Zheng didn't want to explain this, but before he came, the villagers had to let him talk about it, saying that it was called easing feelings.

In order to prevent them from going out to sell fish on a snowy day in their village, they can't sell a few fish a day. The most important thing is that for some fish species, the Xu family received more than they could sell them at a retail price.

After the new Li Zheng finished speaking, he secretly observed Mrs. Xu's eyes.

I thought: It's over, if you don't let it go, it's not good that you don't ease your feelings, but it's easy to deteriorate.

The mother-in-law in front of the Xu family is even more difficult to talk than Liu Laozhu.

Do you think she looks like someone she would be in a relationship with?

He looked like a person who could turn his small intestines. Don't let me mention the past, and don't remind people of the hatred of the past.

But when Wang Jiagou's new Li was leaving, he immediately had a great change in his opinion of Mrs. Xu.

Because Mrs. Xu agreed, she would accept the frozen fish from some villagers in Wangjiagou.

Mrs. Xu considered that the river was closed now, there were no live fish for a long time, and the river surface was not completely frozen, so it was easy for people to fall into the ice cave when they walked on it. It is not until around mid-December that the river can be opened and ice fishing can be dug and fished.

In other words, the fish must be frozen in stock during this period.

And her family opens a rice shop, as well as making fish flakes, fish balls, fish knocking noodles, etc., a large amount of frozen fish is needed, and whoever receives it is collected, and Wangjiagou is close to it and can be delivered to the door.

In addition, the entire river is completely iced, and it will be possible to get off the boat to fish until April.

After April, there is a 55-day fishing ban in June and July. This rule is not new, but has been stipulated since ancient times, and fishing is not allowed in June and July, in order to reproduce and develop sustainably for juveniles. At that time, their village will also spend money to take the initiative to scatter fish fry, of course, this is all a later story.

That is to say, in a year, there will always be live fish will be out of stock, with her family's shipments, only their village may not be able to supply, if you can cooperate with Wangjiagou for a long time, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and by the way, it also helped Zhao Dashan solve the problem. Lest the two villages fight, and the town pavilion is also difficult.

However, after discussing with Liu Laozhu, Mrs. Xu put forward two points to Wangjiagou Village

Beg.

First, in mid-to-late December, the ice cave was dug for winter fishing, and Wangjiagou could no longer be chiseled in the phase as in previous years. Including the two rivers too. The two villages should be divided, and the boundary of Wangjiagou should be allocated farther.

"Yes." Wangjiagou's new Li Zheng immediately agreed, and repeatedly promised that he would not return to their territory and would never go.

As for Erma, when it comes to spring farming, there is a ditch in the middle of the fields in the two villages, and this stinky ditch has always been cleaned up by Erdaohe in previous years, and it has been cleaned up for almost half a lifetime.

Starting next year, it will be taken over by Wang Jiagou.

"That's fine, the villagers have something to do." It should also be their village's turn, Wang Jiagou thought to himself.

If you show weakness, you should have a weak appearance, and the day after tomorrow will be warmer, and the relationship with Erdaohe will be eased, and then the villagers in their village will be able to squat at the crossing and sell it to the caravan to cook corn and salted duck eggs.

Their village can't compare with Erdaohe, and they can't build a house and a shop.

The two rivers are the whole village across the road.

If you want to say that the obstacle and the roadside are just across the mountain, I knew the news of the mutual market in advance, and bought the wasteland in front of the mountain near the road.

And their Wangjiagou is from the road down, has been extending inside, to walk a long way to enter the village, after entering the village is also vertical depth. I want to tell Zhenting that they also want to build a house and open a shop on the roadside wasteland, but the roadside wasteland does not belong to their village at all. It was owned by the government, which was different from the situation of Erdaohe.

For example, there are villagers in their village, who have found the town to inquire, and the town replied that this area is only allowed to set up a place to receive mutual market caravans, and the tax is allowed to operate.

In short, their village wants to do some small business on the side of the road in the future, and they can't offend Erdaohe.

When Wangjiagou's new Li was leaving, Mrs. Xu and Liu Laozhu still laughed and said, "It's okay for me to look at this person, and I don't talk about those useless things. I can cope with the next without supporting it backwards. Thank you for not choosing the other person you mentioned."

Liu Laozhu said: "You don't know, the other one is called Wang Youcai, but he will be fooled, this one is not so flattering. If Wang Youcai comes today, he can't find the north for the two of us, he has a sweet mouth."

Mrs. Xu made fun of Liu Laozhu: "You are rare and useless, I don't like the people who are shouting." Let's think about the future development of our village, and everyone in our village will do a good job, so that the hard work can be expanded to other villages. Wangjiagou is also an option. Let Wangjiagou become a subsidiary village of our Erdaohe as soon as possible, this is the right thing."

"Either I can't compare to you, or you dare to think, not as superficial as me. I only thought about it, Wangjiagou saw that we were going to get out of the way, and said that the boss is here, let us go first."

When the two were talking about the village planning, they were about to start the helper life at the Xu family, and took her two sons and a daughter-in-law to push two carts full of things into the hospital.

A cart loaded with rations for several of his own people.

Although Mrs. Xu had already said that she would be able to provide food, but the table was full of thoughts, and if she gave such a high salary and food, the old lady was purely to take care of her, so she couldn't be cheeky and come without bringing a grain of food. Is there no food and no vegetables?

The other car was full of bedding and clothes made for the Xu family.

Mrs. Xu hurriedly entertained the table again, and Liu Laozhu was also busy.

The table was full of introductions to the eldest daughter-in-law and youngest son, and the two of them saluted Mrs. Xu and said kind words.

It's just that the daughter-in-law on the table was stumbling for a long time, and she didn't explain a word about the scene, so she could only blush and smile at Mrs. Xu flatteringly.

The table was full of rescuers and said, "The daughter-in-law's name is Xiaoyun, well, the young daughter-in-law has a tender face, not like me who chatters all day long, old sister, don't be picky."

Mrs. Xu took a closer look: "What is there to pick on, everyone is practicing, and my daughter-in-law is almost practicing now, so it will get better slowly." And this name is so good, unlike the flowers and grass in the village, people laugh like clouds, and when they meet the sun, the clouds will open and the fog will disperse, and the laughter will brighten people's hearts."

Mrs. Xu specially asked Xiaoyun what about the children in the family, why didn't she bring them.

The daughter-in-law who was full of tables listened to the praise, and then relaxed slightly, blushed and told Mrs. Xu that her father and mother had gone to the house to take care of the children

, by the way, you can also burn the house.

The table took over and said, "The house at home can't be empty, so I let my in-laws go to my place, and they eat and live there."

Mrs. Xu immediately understood, such a family of in-laws ate and lived at a full table, and it was also a disguised way to save rations for her family. If you give food directly, as a family member, the other party will not accept it, and say that it will be better to let you move to help burn the house and watch the children. Like Dali, she sent it out for a walk, and then she was embarrassed to accept one or two errand money.

"Come, call Auntie." Finally introduced to the silly big man who was full of tables.

"Auntie."

"It's an aunt, older than my mother, and my mother is called my sister."

"Auntie."

The table pointed to her eldest son, and smiled at Mrs. Xu: "Sister, take a look, what is this, say he is stupid, he is not stupid, he can still see that you look more tender and energetic than me, then you have to be called auntie."

Mrs. Xu was also happy, so she stopped and asked her not to correct it, just call it whatever she wants. It's a pity in my heart, the tall and shouldered young man is about the same height as the third child in her family, and he can be one meter eighty-three or eighty-five. used to be the pillar of the table full of houses, but after a moment of brainstorming, it became like this.

Mrs. Xu motioned to the silly eldest child at the table to sit down, "Go back and introduce the third and fourth children of my family to these two brothers, one of them will follow the third child of my family, and the other will follow the fourth brother."

Again:

"I've already told us about the situation of the eldest child.

He's, to be honest, I don't think he's good at medicine.

But my family Tian Xin said that she was good at her grandfather, at least she was good at medical ethics.

Don't look at the treatment of people, the bluffing of the person's Lang Zhong can't be cured, he doesn't give you a good medicine, he doesn't treat you, and you can't lose your reputation.

Tian Xin said that and her grandfather Guan is in our village, he dares to take medicine, he can be cured in two days, and he will never delay for three days to make money, and he often helps everyone to recruit any cheap prescriptions without buying expensive medicines.

I listened to the child's advice and discussed with Guan Erbald what medicine to take.

I just tossed the third and fourth children to go out, and spent fifteen taels for Tian Xin, the table, one for fifteen taels to buy a book called Typhoid Treatise, and the other three I can't remember, anyway, they are all written by a very famous imperial doctor, and it costs me fifty taels, oops, this is expensive."

Mrs. Xu told that just last night, Tian Xin hurriedly rummaged through the book, and rarely held it for half a night, which really contained a treatment prescription for removing blood congestion in the brain.

"That's it, I thought about asking Tian Xin to take those books to find Guan Erbald, and give a comprehensive synthesis twice, to see if I can come up with a prescription for the big son to take now. If you agree, let's start eating it now, and I'll give you the money for the medicinal herbs."

Tears came out of the table all over the table: "No, old lady, I have my own money."

She never expected that the old lady had thought about her so carefully.

"Don't fight with me, and don't bother with me anymore.

In short, let's take a year if it's not good for half a year, and start drinking medicine from tomorrow.

In the future, if we have the opportunity to go to the county town to meet Lang Zhong, who is more powerful than Guan Er's bald man, let's change the prescription.

Anyway, the designation of the medicine hall in the town is not good, that is Guan Erbald's cousin, I don't sound more reliable than the second bald.

In the early years, everyone in the village knew that the two of them were from the same family, and the one was not as good as the second bald man's medical skills, but the second bald man was suppressed after he killed people."

Xiaoyun immediately knelt on the ground.

The youngest son named Huzi who was full of tables immediately knelt down, his eyes were red, and he had to knock one for his eldest brother.

Mrs. Xu said, what is this for, she cried one by one when she got home?

The eldest son called her an aunt.

"When you are an aunt, what's wrong with treating your nephew, isn't it, eldest son? After that, it will be equivalent to half of my aunt's son."

"Yes, auntie." The table was full of silly laughs.

The table was full of tears, and she laughed, saying that you are willing to admit it, and now you can also be your son, she offered it with both hands.

Later, she complained that she was late for the delivery of clothes, and she didn't catch up with the delivery of the third and fourth children, and she didn't know that she left early until she entered the village

I left a lot earlier than expected, and I thought it would take two days to leave.

Mrs. Xu said, "I hired a lot of people to do the work, and I did it quickly, so I hurriedly let me leave early. Otherwise, there are so many goods owed outside, and it will always be like pulling a lot of famine. I also have to go early and return early, and the snow for the past two days is called big."

And the table full of new clothes explained that the reason why she came was to process the skirt of the dress with care.

"Look, old lady, Tian Xin's two clothes have sleeves, collars, and skirts, and my daughter-in-law there has sewn a circle of fluffy wild boar hair, even the outer jacket. Thanks to the handful of pig hair you stuffed for me last time I walked back, it was so energetic. What about Tian Xin? Let's get out and try it. I also put two hairballs on her hat."

Mrs. Xu praised it sincerely, it is so good-looking, but it is pig hair and not mink hair.

That's pretty good, how dare you think a few months ago. This is all right, her granddaughter's little white rabbit fur hat, little black pig fur ball ball hat, and neck and string gloves, lo and behold, they all look like a set of clothes.

Mrs. Xu said, "I'm still sleeping, I just handed over the soap corner yesterday and said that I want to have a good rest, so I didn't care about her, and only let her eat two jujube cakes in the morning." While thinking, it was time to ask my granddaughter to get up and eat, two meals.

After eating together, I have to teach the table to learn to cook noodles, and Xiaoyun goes to wrap sticky bean buns.

As a result, I opened the door of the big house and said, "......"

"Celery, Celery?!"

Mrs. Xu found her daughter-in-law and asked Tian Xin, and Yu Qinniang said, if you don't have a soap-making girl in the village, you just go to the new shop? I did say hello to her that I was going to go out, and she thought she was going to play with those little girls.

Because today, those soap-making girls, as well as the group of old men under their nieces, are very nourishing, and the twenty old men are all over the village to make people jealous, and I heard that they are on paid leave.

But Liu Laozhu's arrival made Mrs. Xu's face change, saying that Xu Tianxin was not in the new shop at all, and Bai Xiucai was still here, and he was looking at the finished water drop clock, and he was also waiting for Xu Tianxin.

Mom, when did the child lose it?

And just when Liu Laozhu was in a hurry to send someone around to ask, the old Zhai Tou, who was in charge of changing the water for the water drip clock in the village, gave the answer: "Early in the morning, I was dragged away by your third brother and went to the town."

Liu Laozhu was so angry that he couldn't do it, he rushed to kick Liu Laosan, why did he love Xu Tianxin so much.

Daddy and mother are back, the third child went back to the village last night, and he went back to the town this morning, so he went back by himself and pulled what kind of field core.

The cart that went back to the village in the town was only Hao Yinhua's man Yu Jiaba's ox cart, and Yu Jiaba's ox cart only returned when it was close to dark, and each village had to gather a cart before leaving.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier outside, don't you say it's a delay, Bai Xiucai and Xu Tianxin are also big deals, and they are waiting.

Moreover, Liu Laozhu thought to himself: Do you know that even he and Tian Xin have to bring a kitchen knife when they go out to pick up the goods, and they are very worried that someone will snatch this money-making child away and tear him up.

When Mrs. Xu asked the third car to go to the town to find Tian Xin, Liu Laozhu had already set off.

"He's driving the oxen cart away?"

"No, Uncle Li Zheng walked with a dog."

Ten big dogs set a cart, and this kind of snowy day pulls a plow faster than an ox.

Then Lao Zhaitou, who didn't have much work to do on weekdays, jumped out again, stumbled and told Mrs. Xu that Liu Laozhu was running fast, and I didn't know if it was a dog or a dog to walk him.

Ten big dogs dragged Liu Laozhu and Sahuan outward, sparks and lightning all the way.

Lao Zhai Tou: Really, he saw Li Zheng lying all the way on the snow, scraping over the branches, scraping the landlord's hat and flying, thanks to the fact that he kept holding on to the rope and didn't let go, otherwise he was almost thrown into the trench by the big dogs, and shouted wildly: "Hey? Wait, I didn't get in the car, I didn't get in the car!"

"Don't, don't wait for him to eat dinner, it's easy, easy to be dragged to Fucheng by dogs."
