Chapter 12: You have a lot of family

"Well, don't pick it! Didn't Brother Xiang Hao tell us? "The people do not stand without faith, things cannot be done without faith, and business cannot prosper without trust", the meaning of this sentence is that we can not forget our roots, we can not be ungrateful when doing things, we can catch so many birds and birds, all because of the reason why the song is out of the rice, we use wild fruits in the morning, and we don't catch much! So, I'll just grab two of my favorites! ”

Xiang Saburo listened to these words of the eighth sister in a daze, and praised it: "Eighth sister, you have such a good memory!" The last time Brother Hao went back to the village was for the Chinese New Year, do you remember everything that took so long? ”

Xiang Hao is the son of the village chief, and in terms of generation, he is a cousin of Xiang Tiange and their generation.

"Of course, I'm the smartest!" Xiang Tiange proudly raised his chin and said happily.

The old Xiang family may not have reacted, but the song items that walked in front of them were a little startled when they heard her words.

Didn't you say you hadn't read a book? How do you still know the words in the Analects? Someone else said it once, and you remember it so clearly?

Although he felt that he could do it, and he had already memorized the content of the "Analects", not only the "Analects", he had already been enlightened at the age of two, and now he can memorize 300 poems at the age of six, and he can also memorize and write out the "Thousand Character Text".

So when he was studying in Beijing Middle School, even if he was naughty in class, Mr. wouldn't say how he was!

"Hey, hey!" Quxiang shouted quietly to the Song of the Sky.

But he didn't call his name, and Xiang Tiange didn't know that he was calling him, so he ignored him and directly followed a few brothers past him.

Tracks waiting for her to come and respond: ......

"Hey, I called you!" Qu Xiang had no choice but to take two steps forward and grabbed her hand.

"Huh? You called me! Xiang Tiange, who was pulled, stopped, and she said: "My big name is Xiang Tiange, and everyone at home calls me Yaya, you can also call me Yaya." ”

Seeing that the eighth sister introduced herself, Xiang Wulang and the others next to her also introduced themselves to him.

"My name is Xiang Tianshu, the fifth in the family, you can call me Xiang Wulang!"

"My name is Xiang Tianyong, just call me Xiang Liulang."

"My name is Xiang Tianzhi, ranked seventh, you can call me Qilang."

Seeing that several younger brothers had introduced themselves, Xiang San Lang also said his name: "I am Xiang Tianzhong, just call me Xiang San Lang." ”

After listening to the introductions of several people, Qu Xiang sighed again: "You have so many families!" My name is Qu Xiang, and I'm the only one in our family. ”

"Actually, there are not many of them, if there are some families in the village who are not separated, there are more than our family!" Xiang Saburo scratched his head embarrassedly.

Qu Xiang asked: "Then why don't your families separate?" ”

didn't wait for Xiang Saburo to speak, Xiang Tiange, who had heard Lao Xiangtou complaining about those who had divided the family in the village, said: "You can't divide the family, my grandfather said it, fools only divide the family!" After the family is divided, when the imperial court wants to levy conscription, each family will have to produce one person, and if the family is not divided, the three of us only need one person! ”

Xiang Saburo Goro and the others couldn't help but nod when they heard what the eighth sister said, that's right! If the family is separated, then their family will have to send one person to serve.

Qu Xiang's eyes widened, he didn't expect that there would be such a benefit of not separating the family!

"Then, aren't you taking advantage of the imperial court?"

"Don't talk nonsense, who is taking advantage of? The imperial court governs the heavens and the earth, and can it still manage people or not? Xiang Saburo stepped forward and pulled his eighth sister over and stood beside him, so as not to let her get so close to the little master of the Qu family.

Track: .......

Seeing Xiang Saburo pulling Xiang Tiange nervously, Qu Xiang didn't know what to say, because when he heard what they said, it seemed that he was taking advantage of the court, but in fact, he didn't know what conscription meant, so he asked Xiang Saburo: "What is conscription?" ”

"Conscription is the kind of work that the court forces the people to work, and there is no salary! The last time our family served was when the Funing Dam was built in Funing County the year before last, it was my father's turn, and after a month, my father came back and was thin and out of shape! Xiang Saburo recalled.

Xiang Tiange sighed, "Third brother, how come I don't know that the second uncle has served in the conscription?" ”

She had no impression at all that her family was going to serve.

"Of course you don't know, how old were you then? I'm just over a year old, and I don't even remember! Xiang Saburo said.

"Oh, I see, no wonder I don't know!" Xiang Tiange nodded.

Then Xiang Tiange turned his head again and asked Qu Xiang: "Didn't your family serve?" ”

Qu Xiang shook his head, he had never heard of conscription before.

"And how many people are in your family?" Xiang Tiange asked again.

Qu Xiang said: "Our family is just my grandfather and grandmother, my father and my mother and me." ”

After speaking, Qu Xiang glanced at her leisurely, it's good that there are so many people like her family!

"Didn't your father go to the service?"

Qu Xiang recalled it and shook his head, because he had seen his father in his impression, and he heard his grandfather and grandmother say that his father and mother were very powerful, and his father could guard the frontier and protect the people of a country.

Seeing him shake his head, Xiang Tiange said: "Then your family must be very rich, only the village chief's uncle's family in our village did not go to serve because his family spent money." ”

Is the Qu family rich?

Of course, that's very rich!

Not to mention the old prince of Qu and the marquis of Qu, let's just say that the Guo family and the Xiang family are both from famous nobles, and the dowry of the two can be compared with the property owned by some wealthy merchants, of course, the Qu family did not easily use the dowry of the two.

So Quxiang nodded in acknowledgement.

A group of people chatted along the way and chatted and soon returned to Lao Xiang's house, when the next day they went to cut the last piece of rice and came back, the grain field left Wang and Yan, with Xiang Dalang and Erlang two in the turn over the dry rice, if it is dry, put it in a sack or basket, and then threshing it with a flail to continue drying.

When Xiang Saburo took out all the birds in the sack, the old Xiang family was stunned!

"Did you take the grain and catch it?" Old Xiangtou asked with a frown.

At this time, the people of the old Xiang family had not yet noticed Qu Xiang and Dafu, who were one step behind him.

"Grandpa, no, it's the millet from the little young master Qu, and the birds we caught will be shared with him."

Xiang Saburo told his family about the afternoon's events, and at this time, the old Xiang family saw the song that was long behind behind.

"Qu... The millet from the little young master Qu? Old Xiang was stunned.
