When Fang Zheng heard this, he was not angry, but said calmly: "In fact, being a teacher is not as high as a chicken or a duck."
Hong Hai'er was stunned for a moment, then thought of what Fang Zheng had said before, and said thoughtfully: "Master, what you said is not true, is it?"
Fang Zheng said: "The poor monk can only help him answer questions, but the chicken and duck can help him survive and even live a good year. If it were you, who do you think has a higher status?"
Red Boy said decisively: "Chicken and duck!"
Fangzheng spread his hands helplessly, and then said: "Yes, it's a poor monk instead. The poor monk also chooses chicken and duck. Let's go and sit in the small shop."
"Master, let's do business first at this time. Where can we sit in the small shop?" Hong Boy asked with some confusion.
Fang Zheng smiled and said: "The small shop is a good place. The small shop in each village has all the Kanye in the village. This is the most well-informed place. It is similar to the tavern in the martial arts novel, except
No one drinks here, they are all smokers..."
Hong Hai'er smiled and said: "Then why not change the name to the opium den?"
Fang Zheng glared at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense. These three words are not a good word in the history of China."
Red Boy shrank his neck to show that he understood.
While they were talking, the two people had already walked into a small shop.
It is said to be a small shop, but in fact it is not small inside at all, with a full area of 40 to 50 square meters. There are not many shelves inside. After all, it is a small business in the village. It sells oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, instant noodles, dried noodles, tobacco, wine, and snacks.
Just small things like that. Most of them were small tables with stools beside them. A large group of men and women were sitting there smoking cigarettes, drinking water, and chatting.
There were also people playing mahjong, and others playing cards, and there were three or five people watching the excitement. Suddenly, the whole small shop felt full of people.
As soon as he opened the door, Fang Zheng felt a strong smell of tobacco coming towards him. Fang Zheng only took a breath and felt suffocated, and then he wanted to cough. Seeing this, Hong Boy quickly used his magic to kill
The smoke was blocked out. Fang Zheng was relieved, nodded with satisfaction, and gave Hong Boy a thumbs up.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, everyone looked over subconsciously. When they saw Fang Zheng coming in, everyone immediately stopped playing cards or talking, and stood up to say hello.
"Hello, Abbot Fangzheng!"
"Hey, Abbot Fangzheng, what brought you here?"
"Abbot Fangzheng, sit here."
"Abbot Fangzheng, it's so cold today, why did you come down the mountain? Is there insufficient heating on the mountain? I have some coal at home, do you want to take it back?"
Listening to these simple voices, Fang Zheng repeatedly thanked everyone with his hands folded, and declined everyone's gifts. Even so, he was still forced to sit on a chair that had just been vacated, making Fang Zheng extremely embarrassed. He
Although I think I have some merits, there are only a few people who help. Wudaohezi and Yizhishan are quite far away. There are not many villagers here who can benefit from Yizhi Temple. If they do, it is only a few children.
I just went to One Finger Village to learn carving...
After all this calculation, Fang Zheng really felt guilty. If people treated him like this, he would always feel that he was missing something if he didn't repay something. This thought has never been suppressed for a lifetime, but Fang Zheng doesn't have anything good yet.
The only way to help these enthusiastic villagers is to remember them first.
Everyone kept asking questions for a long time. During this period, Fang Zheng also drank two glasses of water. Seeing that everyone had talked about it, he changed the subject and said: "Dear donors, this poor monk did have something to do when he came down the mountain. Listen, poor monk.
He said, just yesterday, a donor slept in a pile of straw and almost froze to death. Is this possible?"
Everyone was obviously taken aback when they heard Fang Zheng ask this.
Then everyone had angry looks on their faces.
One of the men, who looked a bit Mediterranean, said: "Is that Qiu Laoba you are talking about? Hey, that old guy really deserves it!"
As soon as these words came out, Fang Zheng was stunned. Qiu Laoba deserved it? When did people who were about to freeze to death deserve it? Could it be that what Liu was telling the truth was not the truth?
"Lao Qiu really deserves it. You said that this old guy was kicked out by his daughter. Lao Jin kindly took him in and called the police for him. He wanted to help him and teach his unfilial bastard daughter a lesson. As a result
Fortunately for him, when the police came, he refused to admit that he was kicked out and just said that he ran away from home. The police even scolded Lao Jin for his trouble, saying that he had made a false police report, and he was almost taken back for investigation.
"Someone on the side responded.
Only then did Fang Zheng realize that what everyone said was different from what he thought. It was basically no different from what Liu honestly said.
Fang Zheng asked with a bit of curiosity: "Oh? He was even kicked out to sleep on a haystack, and he still defends his daughter like this. This Qiu Laoba is not very kind to his daughter."
As soon as these words came out, a group of people who were originally filled with anger actually nodded along subconsciously.
Mediterranean also said: "Hey... Qiu Laoba is indeed a good person. It's a pity that his good intentions were fed to the wolf-hearted snake and scorpion..."
"How do you say this?" Fang Zheng asked immediately.
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, everyone started talking one after another, all talking at once, talking here and there. Fortunately, Fang Zheng's brain is not running at the same speed as when he was in school.
The kid quickly memorized what everyone said and then summarized it. Gradually, he began to have a general understanding of the Qiu family's situation.
Qiu Laoba does not mean that he is the eighth eldest in the Qiu family, but in the entire Wudaohezi Village, there are a total of eight people named Qiu. In terms of age, he happens to be the eighth. Qiu Laoba's wife's body
He had always been in poor health, weak and sickly. When he was young, he gave birth to his eldest daughter Qiu Baihong. However, at that time, boys were still favored over girls in the village, so Qiu Laobao always wanted to have a son.
This led to the plan for a second child, and she finally gave birth to her second daughter, Qiu Jinyu, two years later. As a result, Qiu Laoba's wife, who was already frail and sick, never woke up again during that birth.
Qiu Laoba felt guilty at the time and felt that his persistence had killed his wife. At the same time, he also felt some resentment towards his second daughter. In addition, life was really difficult at the time, so he adopted Qiu Jinyu to another man in the village.
The family's surname was Qiu. That family had no children, so they were naturally very willing to take Qiu Jinyu in.
There was no wife and only one daughter in the family. Qiu Laobao was naturally very obedient to his eldest daughter Qiu Baihong. He was favored in every possible way and would bring back anything delicious or interesting to Qiu Baihong. Originally, this was nothing, until Qiu Baihong got married.
Everyone suddenly discovered that the relationship between Qiu Baihong and Qiu Laoba was actually very subtle!
