Dali Langjun’s Ancient Way of Raising a Family - Chapter 56
Zhou Da died, and his death was miserable. After his death, Li Fu and Tu San threw him to the next mountain to feed the wild beasts.
I heard that after returning, the two had a nightmare for several days.
Qi You didn’t care about these, because the beans on the mountain were ripe, he had to arrange for someone to pick them.
In the morning he taught the children to practice martial arts and read Chinese characters. Some old people took a basket and went to the mountains to cut soybeans.
In the afternoon, all the staff were dispatched. Xiaozhuzi especially liked this time. Every time he went to pick beans, he was very happy, and he didn’t know what he was stupid about.
“Sister, younger sister, this is soybeans, it’s delicious when cooked.” Xiao Zhuzi leaned close to Qiu Nuan, talking nonstop, Qiu Nuan occasionally gave him a look.
Xiao Zhuzi thought it was her own words that moved her sister, but she didn’t know that Qiu Nuan was puzzled that the person who settled Zhou Da indifferently and ruthlessly that day was really the skin child in front of him.
Xiaozhuzi smiled happily and pointed to the green bean seedlings on the mountain, “Sister, look at this green, I like green the most. You don’t know where I used to stay. You can’t see green all year round. “
“Now this place is really good. I eat and wear warm every day, as well as snacks. I really like it here.”
“Sister, do you like it here?”
Qiu Nuan looked at the green mountains and plains, and occasionally there were a few flowers that didn’t want to wither. White, pink, and green mixed together to form a vibrant land.
There is no gunpowder, no hideous faces, no screams.
Nor did her parents or grandmothers.
Qiu Nuan didn’t know whether she liked it or not, for her now, everything was the same.
She lowered her eyes, feeling a bit boring, she wanted to go back.
There was a sudden warmth in the palm of her hand, and a hand that didn’t belong to her held her, and squeezed her badly.
Xiaozhuzi blushed, it was a rare twist, and he stammered: “Sister, when the beans are taken back, I, I will make you Douhua. The Douhua is delicious, and it’s tender and fragrant.”
He half bowed his head, pulling Qiu Nuan’s hand hard.
If it was before, Qiu Nuan might have thrown away his hand, but now…
trouble.
Sure enough, it’s not so good here.
The little pillar took the girl and continued walking, passing by the edge of the grass, the child bent down, plucked a few flowers, and handed it to the girl involuntarily, “Sister, the flowers are beautiful, give them to you.”
Qiu Nuan didn’t move his eyebrows, and continued to move forward.
“Sister, younger sister, Huahua is very beautiful, I think it matches you very well.” The child lifted his footsteps and chased after him.
Qi You and Qiu Lie watched the two children walking away from a distance. Qi You smiled, “Look, Nuan Nuan didn’t even want to go out before, but now I can follow the small pillar to go out. I said, the child and the child It’s the easiest to communicate with each other.”
He tentatively raised his hand and patted Qiu Lie on the shoulder, “Don’t worry, Nuan Nuan is still young, there are small pillars to accompany her every day, and one day she will get better. I believe that day will not be too far away. “
Qiu Lie retracted his gaze, I hope so.
Qi You squinted at him and moved his lips: “Hey, have you thought about what to do in the future?”
Qiu Lie didn’t say a word, turned and left.
Qi You was stunned and chased after him, “I didn’t mean to dislike you, I just think that this person must have a pursuit, otherwise, living in a muddle-headed manner is different from the salted fish.”
Qiu Lie stopped and looked back at him up and down.
Qi You is inexplicable, what, what’s wrong?
Qiu Lie lowered his eyes and left without saying a word.
Qi You:…
Qiu Lie went to the front yard, and the tiger dancing with a long knife was alive, with a lot of tricks missing and a bit more agile.
[Hey, have you thought about what to do in the future? ]
[I just think this person must have a pursuit, otherwise he will live in a muddle-headed manner, what is the difference with the salted fish. ]
Qiu Lie narrowed his eyes and slashed forward fiercely.
After a long while, he closed his eyes, his expression slightly relaxed.
Fortunately, fortunately, not to drive him away.
At this moment, the sky was big and the earth was big, except for the Qi family, he really couldn’t think of where he could go with Nuan’er.
…
Looking at the pile of beans, Qi You had an idea in his heart.
It’s not enough to make ends meet, and even though the people on the mountain can’t do heavy work, it’s okay to save money. Otherwise, they’ll be put to waste.
But there are not many people on the mountain who are really skilled. Therefore, Qi You thought about it and decided to build a tofu workshop.
And there are bigger ones. Anyway, he has several hills, so there will be no shortage of beans in the future.
There are a few old people on the mountain who are masons, and they are very skilled in building houses, but they can’t keep up with their physical strength.
Qi You looked at the young and old on the top of the mountain, was silent for a moment, rolled his sleeves, and went into battle himself.
This frightened the elderly and children on the mountain.
“My son, don’t make it”
“My son, absolutely can’t be like this”
“My son, my son…”
Everyone was stunned as Qi You easily picked up a giant wood that can only be hugged by two people, walked to the designated position, and let it go.
The top beam is stable.
Qi You spread his hands, “Look, it will be done in a while.”
Everyone: Σ(°△°|||)︴! !
Everyone was surprised by Qi You’s strength, but what was even more shocking was that the other party was willing to use the master’s body to do things for them.
With Qi You as an example, others are more serious.
Even those three or four-year-old children don’t play around at will, but cleverly follow the adults to pick up the fallen beans.
Qi You counted the number of people on the mountain and found that in addition to two adult men, Li Fu and Tu San, there were four middle-aged men.
There are only six strong labors in total. Zhou Da is dead, and the number of people who bought it back is only 97.
6:97
About one-sixteenth.
Qi You looked at this ratio and was silent.
People, he needs people, and he needs strong labor that can be carried and carried.
Without strong labor, he is restricted in everything he wants to be.
Qi You sighed, Miao’er came in with a bowl of custard, and when he heard him sigh, she asked curiously, “What’s wrong with Brother You.”
Qi Youshun took a spoon and took a few spoonfuls of custard and fed it to Miao’er’s mouth. Miao’er didn’t get used to it at first, but afterwards, she got used to it more frequently. It cannot be denied that her heart is sweet.
After Qi You fed Miao’er as usual, he used a spoon to scoop the custard into his mouth in threes or twos, wiped his mouth, and said faintly: “I’m sad.”
Miao’er: “Huh??”
Qi You showed her the blueprints under her hands: “Although soap can bring profit, there are so many people on the mountain, and they are already unable to make ends meet. I want to do something else to make a living, but you know the situation on the mountain. of.”
Miao’er: “What does Brother You want to make a living?”
Qi You lightly tapped the table top with his index finger, “I want to make a living, and now I want to be a brick and tile factory.”
He has also heard about the situation in Jincheng. If the court can send disaster relief personnel to resettle the refugees, let alone make money at that time, he is willing to build a home for the refugees only at the cost.
But even if he is not familiar with history, he knows that this kind of thinking is really just an idea.
And the brick and tile factory is no better than others, almost all of them are physically demanding.
Their ideas are tantamount to idiotic dreams.
Qi You couldn’t say whether it was a loss or something else. He shook his head, “The brick and tile factory is not practical right now. It’s still the business to run the tofu workshop well. Even if you can’t make a lot of money, you can still make a profit. Mosquito legs. Small is not meat.”
Miao’er is not stupid, and soon figured out the key point.
She tentatively suggested, “Why don’t we go to Jincheng to buy some sturdy” people.
After all, she couldn’t say it, and expressed her meaning in a vague manner.
Qi You knew what she meant, pondered for a while, and shook his head.
“No. I’m white.”
Qi You patiently explained to Shang Miao’er’s puzzled gaze, “I made a trick last time. People in Jincheng were unwilling to buy old people and children, and the county magistrate also had a headache on how to arrange them. Solved a hot potato for them. So the county magistrate is willing to close one eye.”
“But now if I want to buy strong labor, I’m afraid that people from the government will jump out and arrest me the first time.”
Miao’er frowned, “But the government hasn’t arranged those strong labors properly.”
Qi You: “That’s also a matter of other people. I’ll give you an analogy, just like the landlord’s house with a lot of meat will rot. At this time, the long-term worker came forward and said that the meat is about to rot. Can you give him the meat? Do you think the landlord will give it?”
Miao’er thought about it and shook his head.
She understood a little bit, “You mean that the strong labor in Jincheng is like the rotten meat in the landlord’s house.” But one thing she still doesn’t understand, “Since the government can’t take care of the refugees, why not let them find a way out. “After all, the meat is rotten, but the refugees in Jincheng are living people.
Miao’er really didn’t understand, Qi You… actually didn’t understand very much, he just had a guess in his heart.
Qi You: “The government should be afraid that someone will organize the refugees to make trouble.”
After all, the war in this era is really filled with human lives. Whoever has more people will win.
Another point is that there are too many wealthy people in Jincheng, and if you don’t care about it at this time, those businessmen will easily get into trouble.
If there are rich people, this heart will not be at ease.
Just like the Zhou family before, in the eyes of the nobles in Chang’an, it may be just an incompetent merchant, but the other party can not only communicate with officials, but also privately raise a large number of thugs to work for the Zhou family. This is only privately. , If you really want to put it on the bright side, the appetite of these businessmen will only be raised.
Qi You’s ability to kill the other party is really a good time and place, and one is indispensable.
Qi You told Miao’er all the conjectures in his heart. He didn’t expect Miao’er to help him solve the problem, but it was good to have someone talk to him when he was troubled.
Miao’er listened to him quietly, his face was slightly surprised, and his heart was even more restless. She didn’t expect that such a phenomenon could involve so many things.
