57. Chapter 57
This is the anti-theft badge, but who knew that Wu Qingyuan would have been a blockbuster if he didn't speak up. As soon as he came up, it was such a big business, carbon kilns, the kind that used thousands of kilograms of wood at one time, even if it was just two or three small carbon kilns. The investment in the early and late stages of this business is absolutely impossible to get without a hundred taels of silver.
To the villagers, this amount of money is really a huge sum of money. No wonder he saw that Brother Wu was not frugal in eating and dressing.
Guessing that Wu Qingyuan had so much money, Lin Laogen was a little surprised, but he had no other idea, but when he thought that he was so rich and his personality was so approachable, Lin Laogen really felt that the more he looked at him, the more pleasing to the eye.
The wealthy members and outsiders look down on farmers like them who are digging food in the soil, but Wu Qingyuan is not arrogant at all. He calls him respectfully from one uncle. .
One of the two is called the other side's uncle, the other is called the other side's brother, and the generations are completely messed up, but it's not important, and neither of them feel that something is wrong. It feels like a long-lost friendship.
The site of Liushu Village is so large, and it is very clear who lives in the village. Lin Laogen and Wu Qingyuan chatted all the way and soon arrived at the door of Zhang's house.
The Zhang family is not a particularly wealthy family. The house is a very common mud-walled thatched hut in the village. However, the owner's house is well maintained. The whole looks clean and tidy. The feces and rubbish of chickens and ducks.
When the two arrived, the Zhang family was chatting in the yard dealing with the mountain fruit picked from the mountain.
During this period of time, the farm work was not busy, and the villagers went up to the mountains to pick wild fruits and mushrooms when they had nothing to do. The mountain goods were brought back for processing and then carried to the town to sell for money. No matter how much they earn, they can always supplement some households.
"Sister, do you really plan to buy new fields? The better fields are not cheap now. The prices have increased in the past few years. According to me, you should rent all of them. Although the food left is less, it is still enough to eat. Your dog daughter-in-law just gave birth to a child, how will you live after all the money is spent..."
Aunt Zhang talked to her mother's sister while washing the fruit. She was the only two sisters in her family who married to Liushu Village together. She also worried about her sister's bad life.
The other men and women in the yard didn't interrupt. The men in the Zhang family all listened to his daughter-in-law.
"When I came back, I also heard people say that the price of fertile land has gone up, and it is a little more expensive, but it's not enough if you don't buy it. My boss felt that he didn't have any land. His father worked hard and worked hard, and he got through it. The money to buy the farm is still enough, and the dog's wife can endure hardship without making a fuss. These days are over, the leaves return to their roots, and the family can't stay in the town all the time. Drifting, the dog and his father's helpers can't help for a lifetime, it's better to have a more stable life in the village..."
Mrs. Chen, who was sitting opposite Aunt Zhang, sighed. Life in the town is not easy. It would be better to go back to the village. If it wasn't for the last resort, who would want to leave the village where they took root.
"Yes, it's still a good life in the village. You can go back to the village in the future, but don't let your boss fight anymore. Brother Chen has that skill, and you can pass it on to Gouzi. You won't have to worry about food and drink. What a big deal in carbon kilns."
"Hey, it's not like you don't know about my temperament. Forget it, let's not talk about this, sister, what happened to your Dazhu marriage? I've heard people say that the relatives in Brother Zhou's family My cousin came to find someone and picked him up from Zhou's house, now that I'm all right, there's finally no bad thing about Zhou's wife, did you find someone to propose marriage?"
Chen shi shook his head and put his own affairs aside, caring about the affairs of his sister's family, and these were the topics of conversation among the women in the village.
Talking about her own affairs, now it's Aunt Zhang's turn to be troubled.
Zhang Dazhu, who had been working beside him, also stopped, his face was very ugly, he put the things in his hands heavily like a bull, turned around and went into the house.
Seeing Zhang Dazhu's angry look, Mrs. Chen knew there must be something wrong, and sat down and whispered.
"Sister, don't you agree? You really are. It's not that you don't know about Dazhu's thoughts. It's fine if you didn't agree before. It's really unfortunate to marry Mrs. Zhou, but I heard that Brother Zhou is now That cousin was kind to him, but he wouldn't be as unscrupulous as Mrs. Zhou, who sold people as dowry gifts. Why don't you ask someone to tell him? Brother Zhou was actually pretty good..."
"You really think I'm the same as that old lady Zhou! We know who Zhou Geer is better than anyone since we were young. He looks good and works well, but I'm just worried, if he kisses his cousin this time. What should my brother do like that Mrs. Zhou? The rumors from the village are good, but I haven't seen what his cousin is like. I just want to see it clearly in a few days. Let's talk about the marriage. Look at this. When the stinky boy is ready, he will fight me again, and it will not work for a few more days."
As soon as Aunt Zhang said it, she became angry. Several sons were gentle and obedient, but the boss was so stubborn. If she listened to her words, she would still be a bachelor now.
Her Zhang family can choose not to choose a daughter-in-law, but her family has to look at it. Brother Zhou is good or not, but there are too many problems in the family. It is troublesome to marry back. Brother, she can't get married again after taking good care of her, but she didn't expect her son to be so determined.
"Sister, don't be angry, Dazhu is so determined, let's go to see brother Zhou's cousin. If you really can't do it, just give it as a dowry, just buy a little brother and come back, don't you really have the heart to do it? Watching Dazhu go down as a bachelor again..."
Chen continued to persuade her sister, Aunt Zhang opened her mouth, and finally sighed. Of course, she couldn't bear it for her son, but what if this cousin, Zhou Ge'er, was like Mrs. Zhou's lion's mouth?
Just as was worried, the door in the yard was suddenly knocked.
"Which one? The door is unlocked, come in."
When Aunt Zhang heard the movement, she kept washing things on her hands and shouted loudly.
"Aunt Zhang, it's me, Lin Laogen..."
Outside, Lin Laogen also roared back, and then brought Wu Qingyuan in, fully showing the life scene in the ancient countryside, and the communication depended on roaring.
"It's Brother Lao Gen, why don't you go to help the workers to earn money today, and think of running to my house."
Seeing someone entering the yard, Aunt Zhang got up, wiped her hands and greeted with a smile.
Everyone knows who and what kind of character Lin Laogen is. On weekdays, as long as Lin Laogen is not busy with farm work, he will definitely run to the town and help workers to earn money. Today, he did not go out to work in the fields, but came to her house instead. It must be the Three Treasures Hall without incident.
So after she finished speaking, her eyes fell on Wu Qingyuan behind Lin Laogen.
"Lin Laogen, who is this little brother...?"
She looks handsome, dresses well, and has a good temperament, but she doesn't know her, walking with Lin Laogen, is it a relative of the Lin family? No, have never heard of such a handsome junior in the Lin family. Aunt Zhang stared at Wu Qingyuan and guessed.
"This is Brother Wu, the same Brother Wu who came to our village to look for relatives a few days ago." Lin Laogen introduced.
"Brother Wu who came to our village to look for relatives the other day?"
Aunt Zhang's spirit suddenly shook, that's not...
"Brother Zhou's cousin!"
Lin Laogen helped her fill it up.
"What? Brother Zhou's cousin?!"
Aunt Zhang's eyes widened, the son and daughter-in-law of the Zhang family in the yard, and the Chen shi who was chatting just now said in unison, and they all put down what they were doing and gathered around.
Zhang Dazhu, who had just entered the room with his head down, also heard the movement and ran out in a hurry. When he saw Wu Qingyuan, he came up with a happy "Cousin!"
"........"
Wu Qingyuan was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing, Lin Laogen also smiled, and the Zhang family looked back at him in horror.
"Brother Wu, I'm sorry, we were waiting for Dazhu's cousin to come, and I made a mistake just now. Dazhu is an impatient child, sit and sit together, what can we do on a hot day? Sit down and talk slowly."
Aunt Zhang reacted and glanced at her son speechlessly, then pulled him back before continuing to greet her embarrassedly.
This explanation is too fake and embarrassing, no one believes it at all, but everyone in the Zhang family knows it well.
However, Lin Laogen did not reveal it, and Wu Qingyuan also smiled and nodded, not bothering about Zhang Dazhu's random shouting, it was not the first time anyway.
"Aunt Zhang, I take the liberty to interrupt. Who is Aunt Chen? I asked Uncle Lin to bring me here. I want to discuss something with Aunt Chen..."
After the name was revealed, Wu Qingyuan took the initiative to step up to the topic, and while speaking, he handed out the greeting in his hand.
Two pounds of pork, a packet of pastries, and a pot of rapeseed oil!
The Zhang family and the Chen family in the yard wiped their sweat at the same time. What are they talking about? Such a heavy greeting!
Today, I came to town to buy a lot of things. Wu Qingyuan bought all the daily necessities that he needed for cloth, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. There were so many things that he couldn’t hold them with his hands. People take the goods and sit back together.
