Chapter 39

Song Laoer knew that Shitou's uncle was back, so he couldn't wait to eat, so he went directly with Shitou.Seeing him like this, Liu Ya can imagine how good the relationship between the two was at the beginning.

After lunch was ready, Erya asked Siya to call Song Lao Er to come back for dinner.Liuya also wanted to meet Zhang Tiezhu, so she followed Siya to Shitou's house to call for someone.

In addition to the blue tile house built by Lizheng's family, there are these three houses built by Shitou's family.Although Shitou's family can be regarded as rich in the village, they are very good people.His family has a cow. If you want to borrow something, as long as you can feed the cow well, his family will borrow it.So his family is very popular in the village.

When they came to Shitou's house, all the folks watching the excitement went home to cook lunch.

Siya and Liuya didn't go directly to the yard, but stood outside the yard and called out to Shishi.After a while, I saw the stone running out in a hurry.Seeing Siya and Liuya, he ran back and said to his mother, "Mother, sister Siya and sister Liuya are here." Then he ran out and opened the courtyard door to let Siya and Liuya in.

"Sister Siya, Sister Liuya, why are you here?"

"We are here to call my father back to eat, Shitou, go and call my father out." As soon as Siya finished speaking, Shitou's mother came out, and she came when she saw the two of them, "Siya, your father is here with me." Drinking in the house, you come in and eat together." After speaking, Shitou Niang stepped forward to pull Siya and Liuya.

"Auntie, why don't you pull us? We have cooked rice in the house, and mother is waiting for us to go back." Rural women are generally very hospitable. Even if you cook sweet potato porridge with sauerkraut, if you meet the meal order, Most will call you for dinner.

When Shitou sees his mother pulling Siya and them, he also helps to solicit customers.After a while, he entered the main room of Shitou's house, and saw Song Lao Er and an unknown person drinking together, talking and laughing non-stop.You don't need to guess to know that this person is Zhang Tiezhu.Sitting at the other table are female relatives.

Just now the villagers said that Uncle Shitou's clothes can catch up with the town, and Liuya Shiwu took a look at them, and they were better dressed than the people in the village.Zhang Tiezhu looked several years younger than Song's second son, and he looked a little different from Shitou's father.Shitou's father looks thicker, but Zhang Tiezhu seems to want a private letter.The one sitting next to Zhang Tiezhu was his son. He had seen it when he went to buy water today, so there was nothing to look at.

Compared with the men's table, the female relatives at the other table feel deserted.Seeing Siya and Liuya coming, Zhang Tiezhu's wife just nodded to them, and didn't say to get up to say hello.I don't know if it's because I just returned to the countryside and I'm not used to it, or if I was born with this kind of person, Liu Ya doesn't know.However, her whole body style is incomparable to He Shi and others.But one of her two daughters looks older than Siya, and the other looks younger than Liuya.However, both of them were bored to sit and eat.

"Siya, why are you here?" Second Song asked quickly when he saw the two girls coming.

"Father, the food in the house is ready, we're here to call you back for dinner." Liuya laughed.

When Zhang Tiezhu saw Siya and Liuya, he turned around and asked Song's second son, "This is your daughter, she looks quite like you."

Song Lao Er hurriedly nodded to Zhang Tiezhu, and then said to Siya and the others, "Siya, Liuya, hurry up and call someone."

Siya and Liuya hurriedly called Uncle, and Aunt called all the time.

"Siya, Liuya, what are you doing standing up, sit down on the table and eat. You are not an outsider." Shi Niang went to the stove and brought out two pairs of chopsticks, and hurriedly called Siya and Liuya to the table.

"Ms. Shitou, you don't need to be so polite. Shitou and the others came to buy pig offal just now. I was afraid that you would be in a hurry, so I made the pig offal first, and the children will cook the rice. I also want to come to see Tie Zhu sooner. That's why I came here with Shitou and the others. I'll drink with Tie Zhu here, so I'll let them go back. Otherwise, their mothers will be worried." Song Lao Er said with a smile.

"Yes, if we don't go back, auntie, my mother should be in a hurry." Si Ya agreed.

Seeing that Song Laoer and Siya both said this, Shitou Niang stopped pulling them to the table.They were only allowed to eat and play, and Liuya told Song Lao Er not to drink too much, and then they went home.

When they got home, they told Song Lao Er that he was drinking at Shitou's house, and the family sat down to eat.

"Siya, you just saw Shitou's uncle and uncle, what do you think of them?" He asked.Mrs. He was a little worried. Song Lao Er and Uncle Shitou were good brothers, and after that they settled down in the village, and the two families would have to communicate with each other.If this person is difficult to get along with, it may be difficult in the future.

"His uncle is alright, but Shitou's uncle is not good. We went and smiled at us, but she didn't say a word." After Siya finished speaking, she took another piece of pig and put it in the Chewing and chewing.

When He heard this, he felt that this person might not be easy to get along with, and was very worried.

"Mom, what are you thinking? Eat quickly, the food won't taste good when it's cold." Liu Ya looked at He's worried expression and felt a little funny.However, she still persuaded: "Mother, although our father and Uncle Zhang were good friends before, it was many years ago. Even if their relationship is really good, there is nothing to worry about, they are friends. As long as you don't break the etiquette when you communicate, it's fine, and I didn't ask you to get along with Uncle Shitou as a sister-in-law."

After thinking about it, He felt that what Liuya said made a lot of sense.If it's really difficult to get along with, then just deal with people in a village.

Song Laoer didn't come back after lunch, he didn't come back until it was getting dark.Seeing that he was happy, Mrs. He asked, "Uncle Shitou, why do you want to come back? Didn't you hear that you can make a lot more money outside than being a farmer?"

Song Laoer heard this but sighed and said: "If Tie Zhu's father hadn't died early back then, his mother would have sold him when he was less than ten years old." Back then he knew that Zhang Tiezhu had been sold At that time, I felt sad for a while.

"Didn't you hear that his master's family is very good?" Seeing the sad look on Song Laoer's face, Mrs. He asked in a low voice.

"He was lucky to be sold to a good family. I heard that the owner of that family is very considerate to his servants, unlike other families where beatings and scolding are common."

"Father, that house is so good, why did Uncle Zhang come back?" Er Ya asked puzzled.

This time the question came back to the original point, and I only heard Song Laoer say: "No matter how good the master is, a slave is still a slave, and the children born are also slaves. Your Uncle Zhang doesn't want him to serve others, and his children will follow him." Serving people, watching the face of the master's family to live. So your Uncle Zhang has been thinking about how to get out of citizenship from the moment he was sold. However, getting out of citizenship is not that easy. This time, you, Uncle Zhang, are lucky. Last but not least, his master won a Jinshi, and he seems to be assigned to be a high-ranking official in Beijing, and I don't know what's going on."

Song Laoer smiled and continued: "The master wanted to move the whole family to the capital, and the old lady thought that these people have served their family for so many years, and couldn't bear to see their background when they left their hometown. Let the words out, saying that if you are reluctant to leave your hometown, you will be kind enough to get rid of your slavery and let them go out. Your Uncle Zhang was a small steward at the time, so you went to tell him what he thought. I still happily let go. When I left, I gave Uncle Zhang a sum of money in front of his settling expenses."

After hearing this, Liuya felt that Zhang Tiezhu was really a character.Being able to get into the position of steward in a wealthy family without a backer shows that his ability is extraordinary.And he also has his own ideas, if he doesn't have any ideas, he won't think about quitting his citizenship.

"Siya and the others came back and said that his aunt Shitou is very deserted, isn't she?"

Song Laoer heard this, glared at Siya, and scolded: "The ghost is clever." Turning around, he said to Mrs. He: "Tie Zhu's wife is vomiting with Tie Zhu, and Tie Zhu is not doing her job properly, so she runs away. Returning to be a farmer has cost my son’s future.”

"How do you say that?" Not to mention Mrs. He was puzzled, even Liu Ya didn't understand why.

"Tie Zhu's son is called Zhang Haoxuan. The young master of that family was born on the same day as him. The old lady felt happy, so she asked her son to name him. The child has been with the young master since he was a child, and he has a share in his studies. Tie Zhu The daughter-in-law thought that her son would follow the young master in the future, and when the young master grew up, the son would always be by his side as an errand. The future can be said to be limitless. But Tie Zhu ran to tell the master's family that he was reluctant to leave his hometown without saying a word. I didn't discuss it with her, so she was always angry with Tie Zhu."

He felt that Tie Zhu's daughter-in-law should be angry with Zhang Tiezhu, who said he left without saying hello.But Erya and the others just listened to it as a story, and they listened to it.

Liuya felt that Zhang Tiezhu had done nothing wrong. It was obvious that he had left his nationality. His daughter-in-law was probably a slave in the mansion since she was a child. She had food and drink in the mansion, and she would not go hungry. I am afraid that she never thought of leaving her nationality. .If Zhang Tiezhu said it, he would definitely not agree.Therefore, Zhang Tiezhu chose the fastest way, then he would kill first and play later.If you don't agree with this, you have to agree.

No matter how much Shitou's aunt is unwilling to settle in the countryside, this is an unchangeable fact, and in the end he can only accept it.The next day, Mother Shitou took Uncle Shitou to visit from house to house. After that, she lived in the same village as a way of getting to know her.

Then I started to build a house. Since I wanted to settle down in the countryside, it was impossible for me to be crowded with my younger brother's family all the time.So this house must be built.Of course, his house is not like the thatched house built by Song Lao Er's family. Zhang Tiezhu is rich, so of course he wants to build a blue tile house.And the chosen address is next door to Song Laoer's house. The house is about to be built, and they will be neighbors in the future.

Song Laoer is Zhang Tiezhu's close buddy, and of course Song Laoer has to help build his house.But Song Lao Er went to the town to sell intestines every day, so it was impossible to leave the house alone and help others.Therefore, Song Lao Er went to sell offal every morning, and when they were sold out, he hurried back and went to Zhang Tiezhu's house to help.

Liuya and the others felt distressed seeing Song Lao Er working so hard every day.She wanted to stop him and not let him go, but seeing how happy he was every day, it was hard to say it out loud.Fortunately, the Zhang family was rich and invited many people. In less than ten days, five or six brand new tile-roofed houses were completed.

Liuya looked at the six tile-roofed houses, and looked at her own thatched house. She was envious for a while, and she said to herself in her heart, make money quickly, and when you make money, you must build a house that is even more expensive than Zhang's house. It is better to live in a tile-roofed house that is bigger or better.
