The "Zhou Da Good Man" whose real name is Zhou Huairen is 50 years old this year, he is the first household in the village, so no one dares to call him by his real name, and because he has done a lot of good deeds for his village and neighboring villages, outsiders always call him "Zhou Da Good Man" behind his back , He did this first household, the village was convinced, and donated bricks for the ancestral hall, repaired the thatched hut of the school, and paid the food tax in the village, in previous years, when his father was there, the old households were still clamoring to check the accounts of the ancestral hall, he did this nineteen years, far and near know that he is a good person, not to mention checking the accounts, change the second family to do, no one in the village agreed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoIn recent years, he has traveled extensively, and the neighboring villages often ask him to talk about things, and he can't get out of it, and secondly, his mental and physical strength is not as good as when he was young, so he handed over all the complicated village affairs to his brother Zhou Huaiyi, and he didn't stand out in the village.

When "Wang Zhaodi" and Zhao Xiaoliu were busy working in the Baiyi Temple, as soon as he got up, the maid at home came over with a vermilion lacquer plate, which contained a stack of hot freshly baked pretzels, and another bowl, filled with a bowl full of honey, sesame and osmanthus balls. The pretzel shortbread is made of lard and mixed with flour, accompanied by salt and pepper, sugar, green onion, kneaded into a cake shape, brushed with good pecan oil, poured with sesame seeds, baked crispy and fragrant in the oven, when it is hot, take a bite, sweet with salty, salty with a trace of umami, chew it crisply, full of sesame walnuts, when you eat dry, open the bowl, scoop a spoonful of snow-white and slippery small balls - this ball is made of flour with Sanchengjiang rice flour, elastic and non-sticky teeth, after making it boiled in sugar water, it is a snack he often eats in the morning.

After eating early, the maid sent a bowl of tea with red dates and longan persimmons, and when he was drinking tea, his brother Zhou Huaiyi hurriedly opened the curtain and entered, looking very bad.

"Sit down and talk!" Since he said so, Zhou Huaiyi also sat opposite him, not at all looking at Zhao Xiaoliu and the others who were arrogant, not like talking to his brother, but like a schoolboy listening to the training, although he was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, he didn't dare to speak first. took the tea handed over by the maid, and after the maid lifted the curtain and exited after the maid finished setting out the refreshments of hazelnuts and pine nuts, he came to his brother's ear: "The people of the Tian family have done something bad!"

"The people of his Tian family have done something bad, what does it have to do with my Zhou family?" Zhou Huairen said slowly, unhurriedly peeling a pine nut and putting it in his mouth, his tone was very stern: "Say, what is the matter?"

"Hey-I'm confused, I shouldn't have said anything to Tian Erwa about the lack of mine slaves on the Jigong Mine," Zhou Huaiyi beat his chest and said, "Who knew that he would dare to hit the people in the village with his idea!"

"Do you have few ideas to hit the people in the village?" Zhou Huairen sneered: "There are gambling in the ancestral hall, and I have heard about one hundred gods." ”

"It's the tongue of a new poor ghost chewing wildly!" Zhou Huaiyi was shocked when he heard this, and said indignantly: "There is an old precedent, don't enter the ancestral hall if you don't have money!" He shouted loudly, but he omitted to mention the matter of gambling, and only mentioned the matter of "paid tablets", because he has a legal principle to follow in this regard, and he is not afraid that his brother will deal with him, more than 200 years of villages, more than 100 households, why are there only 100 and 7 tablets standing there to enjoy incense?

The reason on the surface is that the ancestral hall is narrow and can accommodate "meritorious" people, and the more practical reason is that the ancestral hall is not blown by the wind, and the ancestors' roofs, incense, and blood and food all depend on the donations of their children and grandchildren, so the rich people are worshiped by the whole village when they are alive, and they are also worshiped by the whole village when they die, and the rich people can only be buried in a corner of the grave circle, counting on the future generations to be developed, and send a lot of money and silver to the ancestral hall in one go, and bring them to the hall to enter the room, and sit in the ancestral hall to enjoy it.

Different from the auction of the ancestral tablet, there is no precedent for gambling in the ancestral hall, so Zhou Huaiyi did not mention it, saving his brother from worrying about it again.

"The old example was seventy, and you raised it by thirty, and others didn't know it, so what else did you pretend to be in front of me," Zhou Huairen really didn't continue to talk about gambling, and peeled another pine nut into his mouth: "The book is clearly written, I'm afraid you don't dare to show the book to others." ”

"The books of the ancestral hall have never been shown to outsiders!" Zhou Huaiyi exclaimed, looking at his brother squinting his eyes, he was angry again, the outsiders he said meant people other than the ancestral hall steward, but Zhou Huairen was the real ancestral hall steward:" This ancestral hall has a small interest and a large cost, brother, you don't know it, you have to bear the whole village's New Year pigs, and you have to deal with the salary above, and you have to hire people to sweep, bricks and tiles, the same is to ask for money, the village must shout when the pigs are less, and there is no reason not to give the tax on the top, and the dolls have to study......"

"Now that I know that I regret it?" Zhou Huairen said with a smile: "In my hands, I thought it was a fat shortage, and I realized how big the deficit was when I begged for it." ”

"Alas, alas, it's all mine, and now—" In fact, he said this is also a little unwilling, Zhou Huairen handed over to him the book, it was a little empty, at that time it was said that it has always been like this, and he pondered that he was not as good as his brother to do good deeds to make money, the most fundamental thing is that the position of the ancestral hall steward Zhou Huairen did not have to be handed over to him, so he said a few words at that time and then it was next, who knew that year after year, at first the ancestral hall tenants paid the grain when he also invited people to drink a dime of wine, now it is measured and measured, and it falls and falls, making a dry tenant complain of bitterness, and his suffering is only known to him! The rents under the name of the ancestral hall seem to be a lot at a glance, after paying a lot of expenses, he has to add a few dollars and grain every year, and after a few years, he was expecting to make some oil and water, but who knew that a year was not as good as a year, so he had to open a gambling stall with the Tian family to make money, and he had such a thing, and he saw that the sky of Jiming Village was a hole!

Zhao Xiaoliu knocked over Tian Jinbao and fled!

Hearing the news, his soul was also frightened, and he hurriedly ran to his brother to get an idea, just like Zhao Xiaoliu said, it is one thing to plunder and sell new households (but he should not sell his tenants of the Zhou family, he really doesn't know about this), and it is another thing to sell the old households who led the way, and the village shouted, he can't do it as a steward of the ancestral hall!

He can make a fortune with the Tian family, not because of how much ability he has, nor because he has any personal relationship with the Tian family, but also because he is in charge of the ancestral hall and can provide land for the Tian family's gambling stalls, and with the position of the ancestral hall steward, he does not reason with the old households and protects the Tian family...... But the sale of old households must cause public outrage!

The Tian family relied on force to run rampant and domineering in the village, and the villagers were ignorant and timid, and they didn't dare to say anything when they saw that Zhou Shouhu didn't stand up for them, and no one would take the new household to heart, but they plundered the old household! The others were bound to fight with him! They couldn't fight the Tian family, couldn't they fight him?

Zhao Xiaoliu doesn't know that his scheming is so deep! He is silent on weekdays, but he actually makes a big one!

That Tian family is really, he is used to blowing what his Tian family can beat a few people without getting close, he also believed it, he didn't think it would be so useless, a few people surrounded one and one was knocked over! In the end, he had to beg his brother to take the idea, intercede with the village, don't give up his position in charge, all the bad things belong to the Tian family, ah, this is exactly what his brother told him at the beginning! Why did he think of this joint now!

While hating Zhao Xiaoliu, he was counting on his brother to speak, and if his brother let go, he would be in charge!

"It's only now that I come to mind. Zhou Huairen sneered: "What I said to you in the past, you can listen to it, and it won't be like this." ”

"My brother's mistakes are all known to my brothers, and this time my brother will save his family in the face of his family. Zhou Huaiyi said with a sad face.
