Chapter 347: Grandfather Says

Once upon a time. There is a grandfather and three daughters-in-law, all of whom are sharp and talkative, talking and laughing, and there is no one around. When the grandfather saw it, he felt very uncomfortable and immoral. There was misconduct and bad family style, so I wanted to rectify the three daughters-in-law.

One day, the staff asked his three daughters-in-law to go to the field to gather grass. The three daughters-in-law knew that their father-in-law was taking care of them, so they rested together in the shade of the tree.

The grandfather quietly followed to visit, and was watched by the three daughters-in-law.

The eldest daughter-in-law said, "There is a cloud in the sky,"

The second daughter-in-law said: "The underground fog is heavy. ”

The third daughter-in-law said, "It's raining soon, and the grass can't be harvested." ”

The grandfather was so angry that he blew his beard, what kind of system would he become like this, and what kind of tutor would he have. He wrote a complaint and filed a complaint with the county office. The county lord took a look at it and announced his daughter-in-law, which was interesting. So he sent someone to take his daughter-in-law to the county office.

The county magistrate said: "There is an apricot tree in front of the court, take this as the theme, make a limerick poem, and let you go back." ”

The eldest daughter-in-law said, "An apricot tree in front of the court,"

The second daughter-in-law said, "The pearls are shining; ”

The third daughter-in-law said, "The yellow is a thin stream; The green 梆梆硬硬. ”

The county magistrate laughed: "Well said, let's go home." ”

The staff sat at the door of the house, waiting for the daughters-in-law to come back, and he thought that the master would definitely beat them for forty boards.

The three daughters-in-law walked to the door with a grin.

The eldest daughter-in-law said, "The gate is a fork,"

The second daughter-in-law said, "The complaint is him,"

The third daughter-in-law said, "Forty big boards, each family fights its own family." ”

The grandfather immediately fainted.

Once upon a time, a man wanted to sell the land left by his ancestors to someone else (that is, to sell his land to someone else through a legal process, the two parties wrote a contract, and then sold it to someone else through an intermediary). But when it came time to sign the final pledge, the seller repented and stopped selling the place,... ...。

The story goes that once upon a time there was a loser who wanted to sell the last piece of land that his ancestors had handed down, and he had already sold several pieces of land earlier. One day, this loser came to the buyer's house early and agreed on the purchase and sale of the land contract.

The buyer and seller write the contract in the presence of an intermediary. The gentleman who wrote the contract is a familiar hand, but this time he wrote the contract for a long time, maybe the gentleman who wrote the contract also wanted to have a delicious meal, so he dragged out the time of writing the contract for so long?

It's time for lunch. A group of people who wrote the contract heard in the middle hall that the lunch of the master's house and kitchen should have been cooked early, but they didn't put lunch to eat.

Everyone was hungry, especially the loser who sold the place, he couldn't stand it, he was hungry, he was hungry, he was sweating, and his hands were shaking. At this time, it was time for the loser to sign the contract, and he said that his hands were trembling, and he was afraid that the signature would not be correct, so he ran to the kitchen to ask for a bowl of rice soup to drink.

The loser drank a bowl of rice soup, which relieved his hunger and improved his spirits.

This loser thought about it, this grain can solve hunger, and the land is used for food. In the end, the loser said: The place is not for sale!

My grandfather died in 1940, and we have never seen him.

My grandfather was born in the Qing Dynasty, and the average life expectancy was only 33 years old during the Qing Dynasty, and it was only 35 years old during the Republic of China, but my grandfather died in his 70s because of his hard work, kindness, and strong psychological quality. According to the average life expectancy of his peers, his grandfather and his old man can be regarded as long-lived.

My grandfather could not have lived to this day, but the story told by my grandfather is still clearly remembered by us.

In ancient times, there was an ancient Shu kingdom in Sichuan. Its first king was called Silkworm Cong, and he taught the people there to raise silkworms. After the death of the silkworm cong, the king of Shu was Bai Guan. After Kashiwa's death, a man named Yu Guan became king, and he loved to hunt. However, this fish became an immortal when he was hunting in Qianshan, but he did not pass on the throne to others, so the throne of the ancient Shu Kingdom has been empty.

One day, many years later, a man descended from heaven to Juti in Shu, and he was looking around where he had landed, but he saw a beautiful woman floating out of a well by the river. They looked at each other and smiled, and immediately gave birth to a sense of intimacy about meeting old acquaintances in a foreign land.

The man generously stepped forward and greeted: "My name is Du Yu, can I ask Miss Fang's name?"

The woman replied shyly, "My name is Leigh." ”

The man said, "We don't know each other well here, so why don't we become a family and take care of each other, what do you think?"

Seeing that Du Yu looked eloquent and sincere, he nodded and agreed. So they were married and settled down. The men farmed and the women raised silkworms, and the days passed better and better, and they became more and more familiar with the local residents. Not only do people often come to Du Yu to ask him about farming, but they also come to Du Yu for mediation when there are big and small disputes between neighbors. After a long time, Du Yu asked, "Is there no one to take care of these things?" The neighbors said to him, "We don't even have a king here, so who cares if we live or die!" Du Yu said, "If you trust me, I will be the king!" Naturally, the people supported it. Du Yu still regards the former national capital Pi (Pi) as the national capital, known as Emperor Wang.

After Du Yu became the king, he was very concerned about the lives of the people of Shu. He saw that the mountains and rivers of Shu were beautiful, the land was fertile, and although the people here could raise silkworms and hunt, they would not be very good at farming, so he taught the people to farm with his own hands, and formulated a perpetual calendar, telling everyone to do things according to the seasons and do not delay the cultivation in the fields. In this way, the lives of the people of Shu became richer and richer. However, one thing that worries Emperor Wang is that Shu is surrounded by high mountains, and there is a lot of rain, and there are frequent floods. Emperor Wangdi led the people to fight the flood and help them rebuild their homes after the disaster, but he could not think of a good way to cure the flood.

One year, a corpse drifted upstream in the Yangtze River and into the territory of Shu. The people of Shu were very strange when they saw it, because the corpse capital was going down the river, but this corpse was floating upwards against the current. Those who saw it salvaged the corpse with all hands and feet. Unexpectedly, after the corpse was fished up, it became a living person. He told the person who rescued him that his name was Turtle Ling and he was from the Chu State. Not long ago, for some reason, he accidentally fell into the Yangtze River, and he drifted all the way from Chu to here, presumably his relatives and friends in his hometown are still looking for him everywhere.

This strange thing reached Emperor Wang. When Emperor Wangdi heard that Jiang Shui had sent such a strange person, he was secretly surprised, so he asked someone to bring the turtle spirit to meet him. The two of them hit it off at first sight and talked very well.

Emperor Wangdi felt that the turtle spirit was not only smart, but also very aware of water, in Shu, a flood-plagued country, this kind of talent was very useful, so he made the turtle spirit the prime minister of Shu.

Not long after Turtle Ling became the prime minister, a particularly large flood broke out in Shu, which was so big that it was comparable to the flood during Yao's reign. The land was in a vast ocean, and people were destroyed and displaced by the floods. Emperor Wang sent the turtle spirit to control the flood.

The turtle spirit really showed his natural talent in the process of controlling the water. He led the people to dig a channel in Wanglei Mountain, so that the flood water flowed down the Min River and dispersed into the tributaries of the plain.

A monstrous flood was subdued, and the people were able to live a stable and happy life again.

When the turtle spirit returned from controlling the water, Emperor Wangdi specially held a grand celebration banquet for him, and at the end of the celebration banquet, Emperor Wangdi announced in public that he would give up the throne to the turtle spirit.

The next day, after Emperor Wang's explanation of some things to the turtle spirit, regardless of the retention of his subjects, he took his wife out of the palace and came to Xishan to live in seclusion. Although Emperor Wangdi is no longer a king, he still cares about the lives of the people as before.

After many years, Emperor Wangdi died, and his soul turned into a cuckoo bird, and every year when it came to the busy farming seasons such as Qingming, Guyu, Lixia, and Xiaoman, he flew to the field and chirped one after another: "Cuckoo, Cuckoo!" When the people heard this cry, they told each other: "The incarnation of Emperor Wangdi is reminding us that we have sown seeds!"

Later, people simply called this bird Du Yu or cultivator bird, cuckoo, and sub-gauge.
