Chapter two hundred and forty-fifth human exchanges
Shunfeng heard the grandma's instructions: "Grandma, you are really kind-hearted. You don't know that the nearby tenants even asked the housekeeper to move to our village. But the housekeeper didn't agree."
I really can't accept it. Although the land is not valuable nowadays, my own place is free for others to live in. Jiang Changxi is not a boy who wants to make money.
The key is that it is inconvenient to manage your own farm.
The gentleman looked around Zhuangzi and said: "With such a Zhuangzi, I believe that the neighborhood will soon become rich."
Jiang Changxi also felt that he had this driving force, and there was a bit of pride in his eyebrows.
When Zhou Lan saw her, he felt that his wife was more eye-catching than ever.
Shunfeng: "Some farmers have already set up a tea stall at the intersection outside Zhuangzi in their spare time to entertain the shopkeepers and merchants who come over."
After hearing this, the husband became even more satisfied with his female disciple.
Jiang Changxi did not dare to be too proud this time, and was very modest: "The main reason is that they are diligent and want their families to live a good life, so they can seize the opportunity."
Teacher: "It's good to be modest, but you don't have to be too modest."
Then when we went back, all that was left was that the husband praised the female disciple. The only drawback was that the husband was stopped by a peasant woman.
Under the watchful eyes of the three disciples, the peasant woman shyly gave her husband a basket of wattle sticks.
Jiang Changxi and Zhou Lan didn't dare to think about anything else, but this peasant woman's face was red and her behavior was awkward. If you didn't want to be wrong, you would be sorry for her expression.
The gentleman's face looked as if he had been struck by lightning. Looking at the basket, he was more frightened than looking at the big knife on his neck: "This, this is not good, please take it back, sister-in-law."
The elder sister-in-law blushed and tried to speak calmly: "I saw my elder brother fishing by the river several times with a bucket, so I made up a fish basket and sent it over. I didn't mean anything else. Please don't think wrongly.
.”
As he said this, he put the basket in Mr.'s hand and left. It's hard not to look wrong with this expression.
Zhou Lan said stupidly: "I'm afraid this sister-in-law mistook her husband for a farmer." Otherwise, she wouldn't greet 'eldest brother' directly.
The gentleman thinks it's all Straw Hat's fault, otherwise he, an elegant old scholar, would have become a farmer.
Chang Le: "While Mr. was fishing, he was actually peeked at."
Jiang Changxi looked at Mr. Tang up and down. This, this is really Tang Monk. Is anyone still worried about him?
The gentleman said with a black face: "Don't talk nonsense."
Then he looked at the fish basket and said, "Have someone give it back."
Jiang Changxi: "Sir, please don't be upset. This sister-in-law is also impressed by your charisma."
Zhou Lan: "I thought it was my Zhuangzi who lost his guard and let people get close to you easily. In the future, even my own Zhuangzi should take precautions."
Chang Le was convinced: "Fortunately, I am Mr. Admiration."
One sentence made the husband angry: "You are so young, what do you know? You are not allowed to talk nonsense."
Jiang Changxi pulled Jiang Changle, and his husband became angry and asked them not to be cannon fodder.
Only Zhou Lan was still thinking about the safety measures. Looking at his wife who was walking on the village all day long, Zhou Lan became even more wary. When he got back, he found the housekeeper and made arrangements.
Then the group of people looked at the gentleman's face, dared not say anything, and hurried back to the yard.
Jiang Changxi asked Shunfeng to return the fish basket. Shunfeng was very lively, and he also asked about the situation at his sister-in-law's house.
When I was talking to the eldest grandma, I learned a lot. She turned out to be a quite romantic woman with many past events in the village.
Jiang Changxi said in his heart, otherwise he would not be so bold and come over to show his kindness to Mr.
Zhou Lan was embarrassed when he heard this: "This is unreasonable. How can an ignorant woman still care about Mr."
Jiang Changxi glanced at Zhou Lan. If he was really ignorant, he would not care about his husband. He was not stupid. At least he had good taste.
But can you say this? Jiang Changxi: "Mr.'s reputation is sought after everywhere, why can't my sister-in-law be so discerning and so sought after?"
Zhou Lan was shocked by these words: "How can it be the same?" That was a village woman.
Jiang Changxi: "Why is it different? Is there any difference between being sung by girls in a restaurant and being spoken by this sister-in-law?"
When Zhou Lan heard this, he turned pale and said, "You, please don't let me, sir, hear this."
Jiang Changxi: "I'm not afraid to hear it. Let me tell you, if you are a scholar, you are naturally the best. But as a fisherman, you are favored by your sister-in-law, and your sister-in-law is kind. You can't even improve your fishing skills."
Home."
Zhou Lan: "Stop talking, sir, what's the point of hearing this?"
Jiang Changxi: "No wonder this sister-in-law is having a difficult marriage. She must have poor vision. She should find a stronger man who can carry firewood and fetch water."
The implication is that he cannot carry his shoulders and lift it with his hands. How great would it be if he knew this?
Zhou Lan had to endure it for a long time before he avoided the topic like a gentleman and did not discuss the issue of his sister-in-law's vision with his wife.
In other words, if you rely on fishing to support your family, your husband is really not very good.
Chang Le was tired from walking in the fields, so he started to doze off while practicing calligraphy, and took a rest early.
Zhou Lan wasn't too distracted by his studies. He went over to Jiang Changxi's side and watched Jiang Changxi sort out the account books: "Didn't Daji and the others sort them out?"
Jiang Changxi: "I have to read it after they sort it out. I still have to be aware of the exchanges of favors."
Then he seriously talked to Zhou Lan about the worldly customs in the clan, "The second sister-in-law in the clan is having a hard time at home, so she actually gave her 20 eggs and a bag of sugar like the eldest sister-in-law and the others, which is quite a lot."
Jiang Changxi: "If we don't accept the gift from the second sister-in-law, it will be a slap in the face of the second sister-in-law. But if we accept it, the life of the second sister-in-law will be even more difficult."
Zhou Lan had never encountered this kind of thing before, and looked at a loss: "How good is this?" Giving gifts should be based on one's ability.
Jiang Changxi sighed, so although Zhou Lan acted in a very orderly manner, he was not clear about these little things at first glance.
Jiang Changxi: "So let's leave tomorrow. I asked Dagui and the others to make snacks overnight. Tomorrow we will go to the tribe to return the gift. According to the account book, each household will prepare five kilograms of brown rice, two kilograms of wheat, and a pack of snacks. Husband
What do you think?"
Zhou Lan really listened carefully and thought about it: "Grandma's arrangement is naturally good, but I don't understand why she has to send snacks. In fact, for the clan members, food is more affordable."
Jiang Changxi: "Ordinarily, yes, but among the clan members, there are not only those families that are too difficult like the second sister-in-law, but also those who are slightly richer, such as the old patriarch and the third uncle. They are not short of several kilograms of food, and they are very expensive.
