Chapter 746 The Tool Man Brother Who Dotes on the Female Lead 12
Chapter 746 The tool brother who dotes on the heroine 12
Uncle Shan is the eldest grandson of the clan leader. He is flexible and eloquent. Because he is often taken by the clan leader to run errands, he gets to know the masters and servants of the yamen very well. Through them, he also gets to know many wealthy gentry families in the town.
What he wants to sell now is tigers, which most restaurant owners can't afford, and will go to great lengths to lower the price if they meet someone with bad intentions, so he needs a person like Uncle Shan who has connections and the right words to match him with a good buyer.
"Sorry to trouble you, clan leader." Jian Yi said gratefully.
After discussing the tiger's whereabouts, the room gradually became quiet. Jian Yan looked at his wife and daughter, who were still a little anxious, and said comfortingly: "An Xin, didn't the doctor just say that? They are all flesh wounds, and they will recover for ten and a half months."
Just wait until the scabs on the wound fall off, and there won’t be any sequelae.”
Liu Sanniu stared at Jian Yi for a while, then got off the kang and said, "You must be hungry. I'll bring lunch in."
"Wu Lang and Eight Sisters, please stay with your father and don't run around. We will have dinner soon." Liu Sanniu looked at the two children surrounding Jian Yi on the kang and warned.
"good."
The two children responded, then approached Jian Yi and asked curious questions, wanting to know how their tiger-fighting hero father killed tigers.
Looking at the two laughing little faces, Jian Yan's expression became much gentler, and with a smile he promised them the opportunity to study and a generous dowry.
The next day Zhou Tianquan and Uncle Shan came back from town and brought Jian Jian twelve taels of money to buy tigers. Plus the money for dividing the family, Jian Jian now had nearly fifteen taels of savings for the house. Liu Sanniu finally agreed to wait for Jian Jian to take over.
After his injury healed, he built a brick house.
In this remote countryside with low prices, ten taels of silver can build a small house with six rooms and a courtyard, and it is made of bricks and tiles. If you want to build an adobe house, about four taels is enough.
Originally, Liu Sanniu's idea was to just build an adobe house, and she would feel relieved to have more cash in hand, but Jian Yi disagreed. Building a house was a century-old plan, and it was best to get it done in one step, and Zhou Baoquan would come to borrow money again in the future.
There is also an excuse to evade.
When Liu Sanniu heard that Zhou Baoquan wanted to borrow money for Liang Qichao's exams in Fucheng, they could refuse on the grounds that the money would be used to build brick houses, so she nodded in agreement without saying a word.
After simply entrusting the work in the fields to his three brothers, he rested at home for a few days. In his free time, he told stories to his two children and taught them the truth of life.
At first, Jian Jian wanted to teach them how to read and write, but when she just held the child in her arms and opened her mouth to recite a section of the "Three Character Classic", Jian Jian suddenly remembered that none of the children in the old Zhou family had ever studied.
So I had to give up this idea.
At the same time, taking advantage of the extra personal time during the period of recuperation, Jian Jian pulled out the original owner's wish and pondered it for a while.
The original owner's first wish was not to be a foolish and dutiful son, but to live separately and stay far away from the Zhou family.
Now that the first two items have been achieved, Jian Yi is a little confused about the last wish of staying far away from the Zhou family.
That day the tiger rushed towards Jian Yi, Zhou Tianquan's first reaction was not to run away, but to rush forward to save Jian Yi. For this reason, Jian Jian felt that Zhou Tianquan, as an older brother, was pretty good to his younger brother.
At least that's the case now.
As for why the original owner borrowed money in the original plot, Zhou Tianquan not only did not borrow money, but also did not stop his wife and children from insulting and mocking the original owner's family. Jian Jian thinks that it is probably because the family is not separated in the whole plot. Everyone eats in the same pot and maintains the good relationship.
Just give it away and grind it away.
Different from this life where Zhou Dazhuang separated his family early on, in the original plot, the four brothers held on until Zhou Dazhuang passed away. During these long 20 or 30 years, the children of each party grew up and started a family.
problem; after children get married, their children's food, clothing, housing and transportation are another big problem. As parents, you always have to think more about your children, and you have more things to worry about.
Moreover, the old Zhou family still has Zhou Baoquan, a man who often goes back to his parents' house to mix things up. It is difficult for the old Zhou family not to make trouble. It is normal for the family ties to fade away.
However, this life is a matter of this life and cannot be compared with the original plot experienced by the original owner. After all, Jian Yi's mission in this world is to fulfill the original owner's wish, not to take a vacation and live his own life.
Moreover, the original owner spent a lot of merit for someone to fulfill their wish and make up for their regrets.
After thinking about it, Jian Jian made the decision after some tangles. He still had to stay away. After they moved out of Lao Zhou's house, he would not contact him anymore. However, he could remember Zhou Tianquan's love and help him when he was in trouble.
Help me and return it.
He rested at home for three or four days. After the wounds scabbed over, he got up early in the morning and ran to town to buy thank-you gifts for the villagers, Zhou Tianquan, Uncle Shan, and the clan leader who rushed to help him that day.
Jiayong Town near Hebian Village is a remote town. It is not big and has not a large population. However, it is still small, so it still has the functional buildings it should have.
Considering that my family didn’t have much savings, I was about to walk towards the pastry shop. I crossed over and walked towards the grain shop at the back. I spent a lot of money to buy some glutinous rice, soybeans, red beans, and sugar, which I planned to make when I got back.
Make glutinous rice balls and serve them to them.
Farmers don't care about how valuable they are when giving gifts. When the gifts are given, they show their good friendship and everyone can help each other if something happens in the future.
And for farmers in small mountain villages, a simple gift is not a big deal. These days, sugar and glutinous rice are precious things.
After buying the supplies, Jian Jian didn't stop in the town. Anyway, he had plenty of time to travel to the villages and towns.
When I got home, the sun was already setting in the west, and all the men in the family had gone to work in the fields. On the contrary, the half-grown children did not go out to play as usual, but stayed at home. After a brief look at the battle,
Instantly I understood what these children were planning.
Sure enough, Jian Yi had just stepped into the house, and the children who were hiding in the house to avoid the sun rushed out quickly when they heard the noise, and ran to Jian Yi to ask for delicious food.
"Uncle Fourth, what did you buy? Is there anything delicious?"
"Uncle Fourth, I want to eat sweets and pastries."
"Fourth uncle..."
Jian Yan looked at the children surrounding him and hurriedly comforted him: "Okay, okay, but we have to wait a while. We haven't started making the glutinous rice balls yet."
"I don't believe it. Fourth uncle's basket is so full, how can there be no cakes?" the child said dissatisfied.
"That's right, Fourth Uncle, you lied to the child." The child complained.
"Fourth uncle, are you tired? Please unload the backpack and I will help you carry it to the house." The child jumped up and stretched his neck to look into the backpack.
Jian Yi sighed. Being annoyed by these children, he had to put the backpack on the table, and then took out the things in the backpack one by one. The children saw that except for candy, there was really nothing they could eat right away, and they couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
, all started wailing and making noisy noises.
Fortunately, after confirming that the glutinous rice balls would be distributed to two of their families, the children settled down and went out to play.
