Chapter 25: Villagers' Congress

It's just some wild vegetables, but Bai Yitian and Xu Cong'an almost even ate their tongues. These two people have never eaten the delicacies, but the wild vegetables and mushrooms picked at the foot of the roadside are not only delicious, but also so delicious, which is really unexpected.

Now Xu Cong'an and Bai Yitian are silent and come to stay in the Zhou family for a few days every month. The Zhou family is grateful for their life-saving kindness to Zhou Bo. Naturally, they are welcome to come. Xu Cong'an and Bai Yitian naturally lived in the outer courtyard of the east courtyard with Zhou Bo, and lived in the upside down seat with Dahu and Erhu without saying a word.

Although Xu Cong'an doesn't say much, Bai Yitian is a familiar character. He has been familiar with the Zhou family from master to servant. He knows that the Zhou family is living a miserable life. Every time he implicitly brings some goods, and every time he doesn't say anything, he has to help him do farm work every time.

Now when eating, it is basically divided into three rooms. Zhou Bo Sanlang Liulang Xuejian and Bai Yitian Xu Cong'an are in the lobby of the east courtyard. Other young ladies and young masters of the Zhou family are in the lobby of the backyard, silently following the people in the inverted hall. The food is exactly the same, but in addition to making soup for Zhou Bo, there are few times when Xuejian can do it himself. Under her command, Aunt Zhou and Aunt Du are good at cooking, and even Sanni can now make a table of food.

Drinking clear tea after dinner, Liulang couldn't help saying, "Oh, Uncle Zhang and Uncle Jin Sheng haven't been hunting for a long time. If there is a pheasant, you can eat the stewed pheasant made by Xuejian sister!"

Xue Jian shook her head and said, "Anyone can say this, but you can't say it!"

"Why?" Liulang asked.

Xue Jian curled her lips and said, "Look at Liulang's thin arms and legs, he is thinner than Xiao Balang. How can he eat? He is obviously hungry for many years!"

Everyone laughed. Indeed, except for Xiaobalang, Sanlang and Shiniang are the thinnest and the most picky food, but they don't get any meat.

Bai Yitian turned his eyes and asked Liulang, "This mushroom stewed pheasant is also an ordinary thing. What you say seems to be better than today's food."

Rokuro nodded and said angrily, "Don't compare what others do outside with what Xuejian's sister did!" As you know, our little Hachiro is the least careless in food and has a bad appetite, but he is the best one!"

Bai Yitian has nothing to do, and his father doesn't want him to participate in politics. He has no other hobbies, only the word "fresh" and is interested.

Xu Cong'an nodded and exhaled gently and said, "Balang's spleen and stomach are not at peace, and chicken soup is also symptomatic, but if you eat too much chicken, it is not easy to digest."

Xue Jian really understood what he meant and took over with a smile: "He also had to eat this soup flavor, and he could eat a little more mushrooms. We were very satisfied. How dare he eat more chicken, but it was cheap for other greedy people."

Wuniang shook her head: "No, it's not. It's better to have fun alone than to have fun together."

Everyone looked at Liulang and laughed.

Zhou Bo looked at the hall with a smile and couldn't help remembering that last winter, when his brothers and sisters were full of dishes and even their cotton-padded clothes were thin. He reached out and held Xue Jian's hand under the table, but said nothing.

Xue Jian returned a smile, which shined under the candlelight, making people instantly fascinated.

Sanni entered the room with tea and said, "It's better to drink tea alone than to drink tea alone. Let's drink it."

Xu Cong'an shook his head: "Look, the most docile third girl is also skinned by you!"

Bai Yitian didn't say anything, frowned, and his eyes kept helping everyone make tea with Sanni's smile.

And Bai Yitian didn't know what he was thinking. He didn't say anything for a long time, and his eyes were shining.

Er Niang and Si Niang have always listened on such an occasion and did not say much. At this moment, both of them think that although they are not rich now, the problem of food and clothing has been solved, and they have been stained with Bai Yitian's light. After some time, they still have some meat to eat.

Xue Jian looked at the smiling faces of everyone with a bright smile on his face.

Zhou Bo suddenly understood that everyone is no longer as resentful as before. Every day seems to be a new beginning, and everyone is full of vitality. It turns out that what Xuejian brings to everyone is - hope - these two precious words!

This extremely beautiful little man may not be extremely smart or talented, but she is like the winter sunshine, shining warmly on this home and warming everyone. This little man belongs to me, Zhou Bo!

Every morning, Qi Niang will take Halang Jiulang and take a detour to release ducks in the rice fields. Xuejian slightly changed the lyrics of her childhood song "A group of ducklings in the production team" and taught her to sing.

Now all the ducklings, including the big ducks, have been put into the rice field one after another, and no ducks have been found to eat grain seedlings, which makes everyone's heart finally let go.

A flock of ducks are raised in the rice field. Why doesn't this duck eat seedlings and only eat weeds? This is obviously a demon! This is obviously the demon method of the fox spirit of the Zhou family! The rumors in the village slowly rose again, and the Zhou family took it seriously, but several uncles of the Zhou family are now ashamed of what they had done before because they were very close to the Zhou family, so they couldn't allow others to smear the Zhou family like this, so they found Lizheng.

Zhou Jiasanlang taught the children in the village to read and study, but he did not accept half of it, but it made the villagers denounce it, and he was very annoyed! Moreover, the son of Baizhi County now lives in Zhou's house for three days. If he knew about this, he would have done it!

Wang Junfeng knew that if his father held a village-wide conference, he would not let Bai Yitian know about this matter. He was looking for Zhou Kang to come out early to discuss this matter, and saw the carriage of the Bai family coming out of the Zhou family early in the morning and driving in the direction of Daqing Mountain.

It turned out that Bai Yitian wanted to beat a few pheasants to relieve his buns, but now he drove the carriage and sent them to Daqing Mountain.

Anyway, knowing that Bai Yitian was not in the village, he was relieved to go to the school first, give the students another day off, and then gather the villagers to the square and hold a conference.

Of course, the Zhou brothers and sisters did not know and did not participate.

Seeing that the person has almost arrived, Li Zhengqiang suppressed the anger in his heart, coughed a few times, and the scene gradually quieted down.

Although the mood is complicated, there is no nonsense in it. Go straight to the topic: "When Zhengnong is busy, call the big guy over. Not to mention it, it's just for the rumors in the village these days!"

Pingshan Village has always been a poor village in the county, and most of the villagers are timid and dull. Usually it's okay to have fun, but Li is holding a meeting to discuss in person, and they all feel that the situation is serious and there is no sound for a moment.

"Rumors! It's all rumors!" Li just wanted this effect and said seriously, "In the final analysis, isn't it just bullying the unmanaging child of the second family of the Zhou family? This week, my second family used to be the richest man in our four or eight townships, the whole county and even the whole state. Now he feels that he is forced to be bullied? Their serious grandparents and uncles are still there!"

Handing a wink to Zhou Shangwen, the uncle of the Zhou family. Zhou Shangwen stood up with a shelf and said slowly, "For decades in the same village, everyone must know that our Zhou family has lived in Pingshan Village in the past few decades. The fields may not be the largest, but the house is the largest, the number of scholars are the largest, and the children in the family are also It's the most promising!"

Seeing that Zhou's family took the initiative to come up, someone below whispered to each other. Don't care whether you like to listen or not, Zhou Shangwen's words are true.

Li Zheng saw that there was some digression and hurriedly asked, "The young man who now lives in the second house..."

Zhou Shangwen nodded proudly: "It's the son of our Baizhi County family in Anning County!"

The prince of Zhixian?! The crowd buzzed. That's the parents! What? The prince of Zhixian County is actually the young master who often breaks his legs with the Zhou family and walk by the field? Impossible?

Li Zheng's eyes turned and his eyes went away. Now this situation is what he expected.

At this time, someone boldly asked, "What about another old man?"

"What old man?" Uncle Zhou Shang can scolded in the crowd: "That's Doctor Xu, who worked as a royal doctor in the imperial city and treated the emperor! Dr. Xu is for my brother Bo's legs for free. How many people can be invited to Dr. Xu to see a doctor in Dashun? Please come and give it to me for free. What kind of person is that?!"

"What Zhou Laoshi said is true?" For a moment, the crowd was buzzing.

This old man who often rotates around in the village is actually a magic doctor! I still stayed in the imperial city!

But to return to the discussion, the emperor is still far away from everyone and has no feeling, but Baizhi County is a good official praised by everyone!

After listening to the gossip for a long time, his in-law Wan Huaishan came out and said loudly in the crowd, "It is said that the thin camel is bigger than the horse, and the Zhou family's hands and eyes are open to the sky."

Someone quietly curled his lips and didn't wait to speak. Before he could speak, the third uncle of the Zhou family received a signal from the chief and shouted, "Our senior brother can be responsible for the village. The knowledge has also been praised by Bai Zhixian, and everyone can also see his character. Who has let him come out?"

"Zhou Laosan's words are reasonable!" For a while, everyone nodded and said, "Who doesn't have a child?" Even if you don't have it now, but if you have a child in the future, you will let him enter the free school in the village. If the Zhou family is annoyed, the children will never learn from now on. They can't afford to hire another gentleman with the ability of Pingshan Village. Where can they find a free gentleman?

Luo Zhiqiang, a beekeeper, was stabbed in the back. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Li Zheng's eyes sweeping over, so he was so scared that he closed his mouth, slightly turned around and gave way out the people behind him.

He was impatient and asked on the spot, "Li Zheng, just say it, who made this rumor?"

Some people directly said, "If anyone deliberately can't get along with Zhou's family in the future, we have to ask the whole village if they want to do it!"

A sound of echo.

Hearing this, Li Zheng's expression was slightly relaxed, and he looked slightly gentle in front of the villagers.

"Who else?" Zhou Kang looked sideways at Hong beside Luo Zhiqiang, "Pull your wife's tongue every day!"

Wang Guokou saw that everyone glanced at his daughter-in-law Hong, and shrank further, so Hong could only stab Luo Zhiqiang in front of him again. Luo Zhiqiang couldn't and asked boldly, "Where's the fox spirit of Zhou Lao's family?" But someone saw her fly down from the moon on New Year's Eve and fly to Zhou Lao's house, and our Daqing Mountain has never appeared a beast bigger than a wild boar. Why did the bear come out now?

In fact, this mountain is not very tall and dangerous, but the forest is extremely covered, which simply provides a natural survival home for wild animals. Villagers can see wild boars, wild rabbits and other animals in the forest area at any time, while large predators have hardly been seen in recent decades.

Several cousins of the Zhou family have long surrounded him. They saw that he was Luo Zhiqiang, the only beekeeper in the village. He was married in Pingshan Village more than ten years ago. He usually walked the closest to Wang Guokou's family, and Wang Guokou's daughter-in-law was Hong, the first tongue woman in the village.

Zhou Kang grabbed Luo Zhiqiang's collar and roared, "What's wrong with our brother Bo meeting a bear? Why don't you keep it at home? Can you try to meet a bear and go down the mountain alive?

He stopped the eagerness of several brothers of the Zhou family with his hand. Li was looking at him coldly before saying, "If the second family is really protected by a fox fairy this week, if someone dares to anger the fox fairy, it is not a matter of death!"

Luo Zhiqiang didn't say anything. While watching the lively Hong's face turned green first, and his eyes turned and collapsed.
