"Zhuanwen, you're here too. Did your trip go smoothly this time?"
While several people were chatting, Zhu Kaishan and Zhu Weishi saw Zhu Chuanwen coming and gathered over.
It's not that Zhu Chuanwen has to wait for two people to find him.
Compared to the two people hiding in the crowd, Zhu Chuanwen is much more conspicuous.
"Dad, Mom, everything is going well."
Zhu Chuanwen nodded. Zhu Kaishan wanted to live a down-to-earth life, so Zhu Chuanwen tried not to affect Zhu Kaishan with external affairs.
Furthermore, this is outside, and it is not appropriate to talk about these things when there are many people with mixed ears.
"Captain Zhu, please sit down and talk."
The theater troupe's performance in Yuanbao Town this time was mainly for publicity, so the stage they chose was a temporary wooden stage built in an open area in the town.
It's not the result of the theater, or it just doesn't have complete supporting facilities.
Fans of course have to stand and watch the show if they want to listen to the show, and there are no VIP seats.
Of course, Zhu Chuanwen was different. Some people would fawn over Zhu Chuanwen. When they saw Zhu Chuanwen coming, they immediately prepared refreshments on the seats in the front row.
"Now that we are talking about democracy, we don't have to do this anymore. Like everyone else, I just stand back and watch."
Although Zhu Chuanwen personally focuses on abiding by the law, his reputation is too bad because of other armed forces.
There has never been much difference between soldiers and bandits, so Zhu Chuanwen's status relied on the support of his "comrades" and he became the local tyrant.
The upper-level people in the town were fine, but the lower-level and middle-level people were both respectful and afraid of Zhu Chuanwen when they saw him.
Zhu Chuanwen wanted to become one with the masses, but because of the people's deep-rooted class ideology, he simply couldn't do it.
"Without Captain Zhu, there would be no peaceful days in our Yuanbao Town. Captain Zhu of Yuanbao Town has been running around a lot for us, so he should take more rest when he comes back.
Look at the tables and chairs being moved here, Commander Zhu, you and your family can just sit back and relax."
The shopkeeper of the shop nearby said to Zhu Chuanwen flatteringly.
"No, it's fine if we watch here." Zhu Chuanwen replied.
After a long time, new ideas began to spread, and Zhu Chuanwen was certainly not willing to start enforcing privileges in person and reverse the course of history.
"Forget it, let's not watch anymore and go back home."
Seeing Zhu Chuanwen in trouble, Zhu Kaishan took the initiative and said.
"Okay, if you want to see it, I'll invite people to my home to sing it in two days."
If it weren't for these theater troupes, they would be helping to promote democracy during this period.
Inviting people to your home for a long time is not a big problem.
"Mom and dad are also in town, why didn't you inform me?"
Several people returned to the Zhu family's mansion in the town, and not long after, Chuanjie also came back.
Of course, Chuanjie did not return to the Zhu family alone. Han Xiuer followed Chuanwu all day long.
Yushu also followed Chuanjie all day long.
"You have a lot of things to do in the closet, so we didn't want to disturb you."
Zhu Weishi explained to Chuanjie.
Mr. Xia, as Zhu Chuanwen's angel investor, is no longer around because he is old.
But the investment in Zhu Chuanwen will not be in vain, and the legacy will benefit Xia Yuanzhang.
Wherever Zhu Chuanwen's territory expands, the Xia family's spring and prosperity can expand.
Chuanjie, who was already ready to join the army, stayed in the Xia family to help because the Xia family's business grew bigger and bigger.
Not forgetting one's roots is one thing, the Xia family and the Zhu family are cooperating more closely, and missing other girls is another aspect.
"Uncle, aunt, I heard that you are coming to town. My parents invite you to have tea at home when you have time."
Yushu followed Chuanjie and said.
Chuanjie and Yushu are still inseparable after so many years.
The matter between the two of them is no longer just a tacit understanding, it is a matter of certain death.
Because Chuanwu was the second eldest son, he was stuck in the middle, which delayed the progress of some of the three media and six recruitments.
Otherwise, the marriage between Chuanjie and Yushu should have gone through several steps.
"Yushu, please thank your parents for us first. We will go there later."
Zhu Kaishan replied as the head of the family.
Xia Yuanzhang didn't have anything to do with Zhu Kaishan. He just wanted to have tea to communicate and get acquainted with each other.
"Okay, I'll tell them when I get back."
Yushu smiled and agreed, but was not ready to go home immediately.
I stayed at the Zhu family and chatted with the old Zhu family.
Xiu'er and Yushu joined Lao Zhu's family chat, which can be said to be not unexpected at all.
Now the two of them have not married into the Zhu family, and Xiu'er and Yushu don't have so many other thoughts.
When I get together with Xian'er, the conversation is quite harmonious.
"Okay, you can go and play. You don't have to stay with us all the time."
After a brief chat, Zhu Kaishan sent everyone except Zhu Chuanwen away.
"Chuanwen, you didn't fight the Qing soldiers when you came out this time, right?" Zhu Kaishan sighed to himself before waiting for Zhu Chuanwu to answer: "I have only lived a peaceful life for a few years, and the world has become chaotic again."
Perhaps it was because he was so deeply wounded during the Boxer Rebellion that Zhu Kaishan became particularly disgusted with the war.
"There is no fighting, and the Manchu and Qing officials also know that they are at the end of the road. It is too late to pack up and escape, so there is no intention to resist. Parents, don't worry. With me and our militia here, it's hard to say in other places. Our area will not be in chaos for the time being.
stand up."
Zhu Chuanwen understood Zhu Kaishan's desire to have a peaceful life, so he patted his chest for comfort.
Although the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is definitely a good thing, the process of regime change has never been so friendly to the people.
"When you encounter man-made disasters, you can't avoid natural disasters. God can't stand it anymore. It hasn't rained since the beginning of spring. If you encounter man-made disasters and then natural disasters, life will be difficult this year."
Zhu Kaishan continued to sigh, and his mood could not be said to be very beautiful.
It cannot be said that natural and man-made disasters are easy to break out at the same time.
The main reason is that natural disasters occur first and people's lives are difficult, so man-made disasters easily follow.
After worrying about the outside world, Zhu Kaishan started worrying about the fields of Lao Zhu's family.
If he hadn't been thinking about the crops of Lao Zhu's family and knew that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was destroyed, Zhu Kaishan would have been very happy.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At least the wanted order that you have been thinking about is no longer a problem.
"Dad, we are not in Shandong outside the customs. It is not so prone to droughts year after year. Even if the weather is not good for a while, just once in a year, the ponds can support it. It will not be like our hometown in previous years.
.”
This is not Zhu Chuanwen comforting Zhu Kaishan.
Because of the geographical latitude, forest coverage, and dense water systems, droughts are not so prone to occur outside Guanhai. This is a well-founded fact.
Therefore, whenever there is a disaster within the pass, the population will migrate outside the pass, which is indeed a wise approach.
It is indeed difficult to go without food outside the customs.
Zhu Chuanwen knew that Fangniugou would experience drought, so it was impossible not to take some defensive measures.
Taking advantage of the terrain, it is not difficult to build two reservoirs to store some water.
"Daddy Wen, don't worry about this or that all the time. Our family is living a very good life now. When I left Shandong, no matter how much I thought about it, I never imagined that our family could live like this."
Zhu Weishi said to Zhu Kaishan.
Zhu Weishi's mentality should be said to be better than Zhu Kaishan's.
Mainly, Zhu Wei is the easiest to satisfy.
The lowest bottom line is that if the family is safe and well fed and clothed, they will be very satisfied.
"Dad, no matter it's a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, there's nothing we can do now. All we have to do is use the soldiers to cover it up with water and earth.
If nothing happens now, let's cut off the braids first. Our family should set an example to get rid of the remnants of feudalism. I have already invited the master to come over."
Not wanting Zhu Kaishan to worry about this all the time, Zhu Chuanwen changed the topic.
Zhu Chuanwen didn't pay as much as Zhu Kaishan on the land, so he didn't care about it that much.
Even if there is a little drought, it is only a small area nearby and cannot be a large-scale drought outside the customs.
After taking a bite of Manchurian, I didn’t worry about running out of room to replenish food.
"The new era and the new atmosphere are called Chuanwu and Chuanjie. Let's cut all the scissors together."
The most direct way to understand the lingering poison of feudalism is to change it from the outside.
The men's heads should be shaved and their braids cut, and the women's feet should be loosened. There were no women in Lao Zhu's family who had their feet bound, so the men could just cut off their whips.
Although the order of dressing up in the late Qing Dynasty was no longer so strict, and there was room for free choice.
International students and progressive people have long had short hair.
But most ordinary people still have ugly money rat tails.
The braid styles of the late Qing Dynasty are much more beautiful than the braid styles of the early Qing Dynasty that could actually pass through copper coins.
But the foundation of this hairstyle is destined to be ugly.
Zhu Chuanwen had already cut off his rat tail for the reason of learning from the advanced Western military appearance.
But other people in the family were not as advanced in thinking as Zhu Chuanwen.
I still endured the ugly hairstyle and kept it for several more years.
"Second brother, it will look different after you cut off the braid. You look much fresher now."
After Chuanjie's braid was cut off, Chuanjie started fighting with Chuanwu again.
There is definitely no benefit to having such long braids, and it would be a hassle for people with average conditions to take care of them.
The situation in Lao Zhu's family is good, but the way to teach martial arts is to go to the fields, hunt, or practice martial arts.
It's never too clean, it's just sloppy.
"Don't talk about me either. After you get the haircut, you look much more like a dog than before."
Chuanwu also joked to Chuanjie.
"After Chuanjie cuts off his braids, he is indeed much more handsome than before."
Yushu looked around Chuanjie and agreed seriously.
Yushu's love for Chuanjie is that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and Chuanjie mainly focuses on his brain.
In terms of appearance, I can only say that he is not ugly, and he may be considered the most ordinary one among Lao Zhu's family.
"To Chuanjie like this, Yushu, you are really suitable to become a family with Chuanjie." Chuanwu said to Yushu.
"You have the nerve to laugh at us. Sister Xiuer's heart is with you. Don't you two look like a family?"
Yushu seemed to be somewhat eloquent, so he replied directly to Chuanwu.
Although Xiuer is more reserved, she is not as outgoing as Yushu, who was educated in a school.
He dared to express himself so directly, but he was very honest in his actions and kept an eye on Chuan Wu.
In addition to teasing the two of them, Yushu also obviously wanted to help.
"Yushu, you can't joke about this."
After hearing this, Chuanwu put the two of them together and was about to explode.
"Chuan Wu, you'll be satisfied. It's already a piece of cake for a good girl like Xiu'er to fall in love with you. You still want a fairy to fall from the sky for you."
Yushu said to Chuanwu.
Apart from the fact that Lao Zhu's family is now shaking, Chuanwu seems to be really useless now.
It is completely a state of being incompetent in literature and military affairs, unable to achieve anything for a while, and even the long-term workers at home cannot understand the arrangements.
If Chuanwu hadn't saved Xiu'er from the wolf's mouth.
A more serious girl might not be able to show off her strength.
Of course, Chuanwu's reckless temperament can still attract some rebellious girls.
But of course these girls are not as good as being literate, and Xiaojiabiyu's Xiu'er is a good match.
"Stop talking, I have always regarded Xiu'er as my sister. I'm going to the military camp."
The result of urging too much is that Chuanwu will find various excuses to escape.
"Brother Xiu'er, my second brother is more confused..."
After Chuanwu ran away, only Chuanjie helped to apologize and finish with an embarrassed look on his face.
"It doesn't matter. I know who Brother Chuanwu is, and I won't give up." Xiu'er's character is obviously not as weak as it looks on the outside:
"I'm going to accompany Uncle Zhu and Aunt Zhu."
Since Chuanwu couldn't open a gap, Xiu'er has been working hard on Zhu Kaishan and Zhu Weishi.
It still has a certain effect. Although the two people are not asked to directly help two people get married, at least both of them are very willing to have Xiu'er as their daughter-in-law.
"Chuanjie, please go out with me."
After only Yushu and Chuanjie were left, Yushu said to Chuanjie.
"Where are we going?"
"A primary school is opening in the town, and I would like to apply to be the female teacher of the school."
After becoming civilized, Yushu was more excited than ordinary people.
In the past, Yushu didn't have much room to develop, but now he finally has the opportunity to do things on his own.
"You are going to be a female student, I will accompany you." Chuanjie said happily.
The more people like Chuanjie read, the more they respect cultural undertakings.
"Captain, I heard that you are back. Many squires and elders have sent gifts and sent messages to invite you to the banquet."
As the world becomes more and more chaotic, it is obvious that Zhu Chuanwen's militia pledge is taken seriously.
Had it not been for the fact that several groups of bandits had not been cleared away before.
There are many short-sighted people among the squires who want to reduce the number of militia groups.
There are too many people, and you can only see them right under your nose.
"Senior subordinates, there's no need to go to the banquet. Just tell them that we can't have chaos here."
Zhu Chuanwen still didn't like dealing with these squires and elders.
In the early days, these people were Zhu Chuanwen's help.
At this point, these people become a constraint, at least to some of them.
Not all people are so awake, there are always some people who are not so awake.
This period is indeed very sensitive, a time when old and new ideas collide.
It cannot be said that all older people do not accept new ideas, but a large number of older people are indeed stubborn.
This can be seen from the stubborn unwillingness of these people to cut their whips.
These people called Zhu Chuanwen over, most likely to discuss how to deal with civilized and progressive people, but Zhu Chuanwen was of course too lazy to respond.
