Farmer’s Little Girl

  Chapter 1930 Hongtian Village

Man Bao said, "I have asked. Neither Xia Golang nor Xia Qilang are children of the elder Xia’s family. Xia Qilang is still the grandnephew of the elder Xia. Xia Golang is separated from him by several rooms, but he still supports Xia Golang’s studies. , I usually don’t help, but also let the families of the clan help. Obviously, they want Xia Golang and Xia Qilang to take the exam and examiner first, and then draw the clan in the future."

  In fact, this is a common strategy used by many small squire families. As long as one official comes from one family, it can bring the whole family and even the whole village to the next level.

Looking at Manbao, Lang wrote back and said on Tuesday that after the news of her becoming an official came back to Qili Village, the village bought firecrackers and put them back for a day. The clan bought many firecrackers and put them back for a day. Finally, Lang did not live on Tuesday. The only way is to buy a little more and come back to set off firecrackers.

But last winter, the county decided to build the road from Qili Village to the county seat. The road was directly widened and filled with solid soil. I heard that it is now about the same size as the pipeline. Two carriages are gone.

  Even the trail over the mountain was simply repaired.

  This is the invisible benefit that being an official can bring to the village and family.

  Not to mention the increased seed and farm tools subsidies when persuading the mulberry to be taught. Even when paying taxes, the county government's assessment is not so harsh.

  In the past, a catty of hemp always had to be given two or two more. Now that the extra two or two, the officials will take the initiative to return one or two...

  This is a typical example of a person who has attained the Taoism and ascended to the sky, cough cough...

  Man Baodao: "But I feel that being alone is not as good as others. Obviously, some of the Xia clan elders think so too. I proposed to start clan school that day, didn't they agree?"

  White Jiro asked: "Are you going to bring down their family?"

"Nonsense," Man Bao glanced at him, righteously said: "Am I that kind of person? Although my surname is Zhou, I also have the blood of Xia in my body. Will I harm Xia? If children are literate in reading, even if they don’t have an examiner, there will be other benefits. If nothing else, they will always be more polite than others after reading, and it will be easier to find a job and make money, right?"

   Bai Erlang said: "Their purpose is not to make them work in accountants or do some paperwork to make money, but to become a family of officials and officials. You almost cut off their path to examiners."

  Man Bao shook his head, "No, when this generation has made money, the next generation will be rich and can be cultivated again. Why must the whole family support these two people now?"

  Bai Shan interrupted the argument between the two, "Okay, what the final choice is the decision of the family, we are just a proposal, why are you still arguing? It seems like you can make a decision."

   Bai Erlang and Man Bao stopped quarreling, but Bai Erlang still commented and said: "You are really treacherous."

  Manbao accepts no refutation.

  Bai Shan did not refute, they just wanted to make the Xia family have no time to trouble them in the past two decades, and the people of the Xia family would probably not trouble them anymore in ten or twenty years.

With this purpose, when they set off to Hongtian Village the next day, they dressed up specially, put on the best clothes they brought, hung up the best accessories, and combed their hair neatly and smoothly. Go by car.

  Lao Zhoutou also put on his best clothes and made up his mind to lose or not.

  Hongtian Village is a big village, much larger than Qili Village, and the Xia family is the most populous family in Hongtian Village. Of course, besides the Xia family, there are several surnames, which are not particularly small.

  In such a big village, if children go to school, they have to walk three kilometers to the town to read. It doesn’t seem to be very far, but the beam repair is high and the cost is high, so there are not many children in the village that can really afford it.

  However, the Xia family is still the family that can send children to school the most.

  Manbao and their carriages attracted the attention of the busy villagers in the field when they entered Hongtian Village. The main reason was that their horses were good, and they were not ordinary people at first glance. So the people who had heard the news soon carried their hoes and went back to watch the fun.

   murmured loudly as he walked back, “I heard that Zhou Yin and Xinniang’s daughters have been found back. I’m afraid it’s not going to fight the Xia family.”

   "Look at this, Zhou Yin is well developed, why didn't he come back?"

   "I heard from the Xia family that he died a long time ago. His daughters were raised by his brother and sister-in-law. If they are to be developed, they are also developed by his daughters."

  "Who is Zhou Yin?"

   "You don't know him, he is Xia Yan's son-in-law."

  Many young people don’t even know who Xia Yan is.

  The carriage went to the village some, and Chief Xia personally came to pick up Zhou Man and the others. Seeing so many villagers around to watch the excitement, the smile on his face was a little reluctant.

  Fortunately, Man Bao, who got out of the car, gave him a lot of face, and smiled to meet him.

   Patriarch Xia breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked Lao Zhoutou and Qian to go inside and said, "Please come from my in-laws. The elderly in the clan are waiting at home."

The villagers saw that they did not quarrel, but they were harmonious, rather boring. Someone who knew some inside information wondered and said: "Strange, it's not that Zhou Yin's daughter came back and not only took the house where Xia Yi lived. , Have you also collected all the previous fields? Why didn't they quarrel?"

   "Yes, when did Chief Xia have such a good temper?"

  Everyone also wants to follow the Xia clan’s elder’s house to watch the excitement. People from different surnames in the same village are enemies, especially this kind of family where your family is larger, but my family is not much younger than you in the same village. There will always be some friction.

  The young people of the Xia family didn't want to be read by them, so they occupied the wall and outside the door of the elder Xia's house first, and people with foreign surnames couldn't get in at all.

  Man Bao and the others entered the yard of Patriarch Xia's house. When they looked up, they couldn't help but pause when they saw that there were people at the door of the wall.

   Patriarch Xia probably also knew their intentions. Although embarrassed, they didn’t drive them away. It’s better to be seen jokes by people of the same clan than by people of other surnames, right?

  So he smiled awkwardly at Zhou Man, and then said: "Children are naughty, in-laws and the eldest lady don't be offended."

  Man Bao is not surprising at all, because she has seen a lot, and the people in Qili Village also like to pick up the wall of her house.

   just not so much.

  Because there were too many people to sit in the house, they sat down in the yard.

   Patriarch Xia also asked Xia Golang and Xia Qilang who were behind him to see Zhou Man, "Last time in a hurry, the lady didn't meet Goro and Qilang? They two are your brothers."

  Although she is not surnamed Xia, she is still a granddaughter and definitely cannot be a granddaughter. This is the last stubbornness of the Xia chief.

  Manbao and Xia Goro Xia Qilang saw the ceremony, then looked around and asked, "Where is Uncle Yoshi?"

   Patriarch Xia didn't expect which pot she would open and which pot she would pick up, so he pulled the corner of her mouth and said, "He went to the county town to pick up his wife."

  Man Bao just remembered, yes, yesterday Xia Yi finished moving things and lost the keys on the street, so the county government released his wife and told him to pick up the people the next day.

  Neither Zhou Dalang nor Wu Wulang went to pick up the keys yesterday. After inspecting the house, they were directly asked to change the lock. At the moment, the house is already hers.

  　See you at nine in the evening
