Chapter 497 Extremely Shameless (Seventeen)

After staring wide-eyed for a while, Xia Mingfu couldn't hold back anymore, and after sighing for a while, seeing that Qingzhu was still unmoved by it, he simply spoke directly to Qingzhu: "Qingzhu."

coming.

Qing Zhu was thinking in her heart, but she didn't show anything on her face, she just said respectfully to Xia Mingfu: "Well, Third Uncle, Qing Zhu is here, what can I tell you?"

"Third Uncle doesn't have anything to tell you, but suddenly thought of something and wanted to ask you." Although Xia Mingfu is old, he is not the kind of old, treacherous and cunning person, so speaking of it, it is not too much of a joke. Beat around the bush.

Hearing Xia Mingfu's words, Qing Zhu looked at Xia Mingfu, and said seriously: "Third Uncle, if you have anything to ask, just ask, Qing Zhu will definitely know everything."

"Ahem..." Xia Mingfu couldn't help but blush when he thought of what he was going to ask next, as well as his own thoughts.

However, then he thought that he was seeking the well-being of the clan, and without realizing it, he straightened his back, looked at Qingzhu and said, "That's right, you've been outside for so long, and you've seen a lot. Uncle just wanted to ask you, what are the big families outside here like?"

"What do the big families outside look like?" Qingzhu tilted her head on purpose, looked at Xia Mingfu, blinked her eyes twice, and spoke in a puzzled manner.

"That's right, tell third uncle what it looks like." Xia Mingfu leaned forward slightly, looked at the green bamboo, and said a little eagerly.

"Third Uncle, this Qingzhu is really hard to say." Qingzhu frowned slightly, showing some embarrassment on his face, then looked at Xia Mingfu with some hesitation and continued: "This ordinary big family should be relatively There are many, then there are more promising children in the clan, and the hearts of the people are more unified, right?"

"Third uncle, I'm really sorry. Qingzhu is a girl, so I really don't know what to say, and I don't know if I'm right."

"En." Xia Mingfu nodded, looked at Qingzhu and said, "It's not easy for a girl like you to think of these things. That's right, if a family wants to prosper, everyone must work together and work hard. Then people in the clan support each other."

"In the clan, we should pay attention to cultivating those young children who may be promising. After the young children are successful, they must know how to feed back to the clan and help more clan members, right?"

"En." Qingzhu nodded, looked at Xia Mingfu and said, "What the third uncle said is naturally correct."

Hearing Qing Zhu's words, Xia Mingfu plucked his beard with some satisfaction, and then pretended to be casual and said again: "Oh, yes. I heard that those big families outside have some family property, family fields, And what about ethnology, look, do they really have it?"

"Clan property and clan fields, this Qingzhu is not very clear, but... most of the clan studies are there." Qingzhu took Xia Mingfu's words and said.

Then, he looked at the green shirt again, looked at Xia Mingfu with some doubts and a bit of grievance, and said in a low voice: "Third Uncle, why are you asking this? We are not, we are not talking about my uncle. something?"

"I want to talk about your uncle." Xia Mingfu dragged his voice and said with a strand of beard: "But Qingshan this time, it was really ignorant, and it caused a catastrophe! Only relying on your third uncle I'm afraid that one person won't be able to play much of a role. The whole clan must be able to speak for you, and that will work."

"Let the whole clan speak for us?" Qingzhu blinked a few times again, looked at Xia Mingfu, and asked suspiciously.

"Yes." Xia Mingfu looked at Qingzhu, nodded seriously, and said.

"But... how can we get the whole clan to help Qingshan and Qingzhu talk?" Qingzhu looked at Xia Mingfu pretending to be puzzled, and asked again.

"Ahem..." Xia Mingfu coughed twice, cleared his throat, looked at Qingzhu and said in a persuasive manner: "In this matter, according to the third uncle, only those who have made great contributions to the whole family can be let go." Everyone is working together to help him speak, don't you think it's right?"

"Well, it seems to be like this." Qingzhu nodded thoughtfully, and before Xia Mingfu opened his mouth, he said in a doubtful tone: "But, I brought back so much food for everyone, and let every family of them eat food. Can get a lot, isn't this a big contribution?"

"Cough, cough..." Xia Mingfu was choked by Qingzhu's words, coughed violently for a while, then wiped his chest, looked at Qingzhu with earnestness and said: "Qingzhu, you brought so many things for everyone When you come back, everyone will definitely remember your affection. However, these few loads of food are just enough, there will always be a time when they can finish eating, and when that time comes, how long can they remember?"

"It has to be a long-term contribution that benefits the children and grandchildren, so that everyone can work together and help you speak, right?"

"Well, yes." Qingzhu nodded again, but just as Xia Mingfu showed some smiles on his face, Qingzhu spoke again, and said, "But, I exempted everyone from land rent and land taxes. Profitable long-term contribution?"

Let Qingzhu ask such a question, Xia Mingfu's old face turned red again.

This ground rent and land tax are all exempted, which is naturally a big and long-term thing, but this can't put money on Xia Mingfu's face...

So although Xia Mingfu blushed, he still induced Qingzhu to say again: "Qingzhu, that's not how you said it, and it's not how things are calculated. It's a good thing that you can exempt everyone from land rent and land tax, right? But , this is making a contribution to the people in the village, not to the clan.”

"In our Xiajia Village, although there is only one family with the surname outside, it was moved here after you left. The others are all named Xia, and they are all members of our old Xia family. But in this village and the clan , that was a little bit different.”

"You are still children, some things may not be clear. Don't say anything else, let's talk about how many people in our clan are living outside. Third uncle, as the head of the clan, I dreamed of killing them." Get them back, let them recognize their ancestors and return to our old Xia's house."

"But, it's easier said than done. The family wants money but no money, food but no food, how can we get people back, right? Alas, your third uncle has wasted most of his life, and the loess is buried up to his neck Up to now, I’m still powerless.”

Xia Mingfu said, his tone was a little choked up, he shook his head feebly, and then heaved a long sigh.
