Chapter 371 Bad habits

No matter how the parties behind this matter compromised, on the surface, Liu Shugong’s family property was confiscated, and all the male members of the family were imprisoned, including his several grandchildren who were working in Fucheng.

The people of Miaojia Village instantly forgot all the good things in his family because of the place to go to Fucheng.

However, the sixth uncle’s family is not easy to provoke. During this period, the patriarch’s family entered two promising juniors, and the loss was huge. The patriarch suffered a stroke and lay in bed unable to move.

They all want to regain the position of the patriarch, but they have no hope in recent decades.

The eldest son of the sixth uncle’s family and his wife, the Zhao family, escaped after reconciliation, but only canceled his position as a child of the country, and retained his fame.

Shi Yan guessed that this should be the reward for his promise to reconcile with Zhao.

However, this guy is not a good person, others can’t deal with it, but he is not soft on Yao Shi who fell into the mine. Originally, Yao Shi was sentenced to go to the mine to serve ten years in prison, but Yao Shi was in the mine less than two months after entering the mine. In time, he was killed by a falling stone from an accident.

The death was so tragic that it was unbearable to watch.

After his wife took their children to restrain Yao Shi, they completely disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Afterwards, He Da also sighed with Shi Yan, “Why is that kid so lucky! His ex-wife still cares about his old feelings for him, and the whole family is in prison, so he can be alone outside!”

Shi Yan snorted softly: “His life is always a scourge to Zhao Tongjuan, and Zhao Tongjuan is not a soft-hearted person.”

If she was sincere and soft-hearted, the legendary aunt Ouyang, who was extremely favored, would not have been sick in the backyard for two months, and she would not even be able to see her biological daughter.

It’s nothing more than what you don’t want to do that is too obvious to arouse suspicion.

After taking the sauerkraut handed over by He Da, he placed it neatly in the jar, pressed it twice, stood up straight, and then Shi Yan said, “My eldest son Miao, it won’t take long for us to be stomping around, so there’s nothing to be afraid of.”

He was puzzled, but Shi Yan did not explain it further. This doubt was not answered until half a year later, when he listened to the brothers outside drinking and chatting.

It was said that Young Master Miao had been running around all the time, trying to overturn the case for the family. For this reason, he did not know what method he had used. He entered the mansion of a certain county magistrate and was a clerk.

In the words of the brothers: “Can there be something that is not obvious between this young and strong man and the woman who has been widowed for many years?

After taking care of the county head lady, it’s not a big deal in his family. Who told the county head lady to have a grandfather on top of the county head? ”

“Hey, having said that, but the county hostess is not so easy to serve, there are men who want to climb the bed, no, I heard that he blocked the way for others, and was framed and lost his life.

A few days ago, the little boy beside him even specially asked someone to go to Miaojia Village and asked the clan to collect the corpse for him, so it is fair to say that God is fair, what is this called? This is Skynet’s slack without leakage! ”

At that time, what He Da thought in his mind was only the understated sentence “I won’t be able to jump for a long time” at that time, and he couldn’t help shivering.

But this will be half a year later. Now that Shi Yan has marinated a jar of sauerkraut, he looked up at the sky and waved his hand: “It’s getting late, I won’t leave the meal, let’s go back.”

He Da is very resentful, and now I want to taste the food made by the boss himself, why is it so difficult? Every day I miss the rice noodles made by my boss.

If the boss did not do it himself, Yang Hegao could barely swallow what he did.

He Da stood at the gate of Shi Yan’s house, looked up sadly at the two clouds that looked like a big bowl of rice noodles in the distance, and thought very sadly: “He Gao doesn’t know where he is struggling to make a living right now!

What a good thing to stay by the boss’s side and be the boss’s apprentice, I can’t think of one or two. Even the stubborn temper is exactly the same. ”

He walked a few steps listlessly with his head sullen, and when he turned the corner of the alley, he heard a familiar voice calling him: “Brother He!”

He Da was agitated, followed the direction of the voice, and saw Yang Hegao, who had grown two inches taller and was still thin, standing not far away. Smile at him.

He Da was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward, pulled Yang Hegao’s arm and walked back.

He didn’t give Yang Hegao a chance to speak at all, and kept saying, “I know what your kid is thinking, I feel that the boss avenged you, rescued your mother, and gave you a rebirth.

Being an apprentice to the boss is all about taking advantage of you. At this time, it doesn’t seem like that, and it doesn’t look like that, right? ”

He Qi directly stabbed Yang Hegao’s forehead: “But our boss’s craft is not an ordinary thing that can be learned casually. If you want to pass it on, that person must have talent, have a right mind, and have no evil thoughts in his heart.

I used to think that the boss would pass on this skill of housekeeping to Xiaobao. With this, Xiaobao would not be hungry even if he lay at home. Later, I thought about it, the boss himself started to study for the imperial examinations, so his son’s appointment would also be If you have to go that way, it is impossible for Xiaobao to cook by himself in the future. ”

After he said that, he patted Yang Hegao’s shoulder a few times, and he coughed, and said with a straight face: “Isn’t it a pity that such a good craftsmanship is lost?

Between us, it’s all fate, don’t think too much, the boss is not the kind of person who cares about things. ”

Yang Hegao did not deny the reason He Da said, but he did not agree with his expression.

He Da was a rude man and didn’t understand his concerns, but Shi Yan could see it at a glance.

This is a filial child. She has suffered a lot for her mother, and the dust has settled. The reason why she doesn’t want to stay in Bai’an County is that she doesn’t want Liu Shi to continue to think of many unpleasant past events in this environment and sprinkle salt on her scar. In case someone recognizes Liu’s identity, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for the mother and son.

So from the beginning, Shi Yan decided that Yang Hegao would not stay here, but he didn’t expect him to come back.

At that time, the family was at the dinner table, and Shi Yan raised his chin: “Let’s eat first, and we’ll talk about what we have finished eating.”

No matter what happened to Yang Hegao, He Da was really happy, he grabbed a seat in a flash, sat next to Xiaobao with a smile, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and ate.

He smelled it as soon as he entered the door. Today, there are at least three dishes cooked by the boss himself. The smell is absolutely terrible. It seems that he has grown feet and pierces people’s noses. It makes people unable to resist. The brothers at the **** bureau thought about this, but fell asleep at night holding the stinky feet of someone who didn’t know who they were chewing on.

Unexpectedly, today’s twists and turns, he finally ate it!

happiness!

He Da’s happiness did not spread to Yang Hegao, he stood in front of Shi Yan seriously, and said to Shi Yan with a reddish face: “Sir, I’ve been hanging out outside for a long time, and I can’t get rid of all the beggars. , I can’t find any serious work when I go out.

I’m not here to go to you again, and please give me a bowl of rice to eat. You know, I can do it! ”

At this time, there were only the two of them in the study. Shi Yan put down the teacup in his hand and asked curiously, “Why did you come back?”

Yang Hegao’s face was a little embarrassed, and his eyes looked directly at Shi Yan: “During this time, my mother and I went to my grandfather’s house first, thinking that we haven’t been in contact for many years, and now I have to report to be safe.

When I got there, I learned that a lot of things had happened in my grandfather’s house in the past few years. No one was there. The neighbors and the old servants helped to arrange the funeral.

So he asked someone to help repair the ancestral tomb.

Now for my mother and I, there are no relatives either on my grandfather’s side or on my grandfather’s side. We are each other’s only relatives.

Home is where mother is. This can be regarded as no worries. When I think about it, my mother and I will not go far away. Otherwise, during the festivals, there will be no one who burns paper for the relatives on both sides, which is very pitiful. ”

Of course, the most important thing is to be able to repay Shi Yan’s great kindness by his side.

But Yang Hegao said a lot here, but he didn’t say the most important point, because he didn’t want Shi Yan to think too much. As for the matter of accepting apprentices and apprentices, he didn’t even mention it. When he said this at this time, he felt that it was an insult to his husband’s previous efforts.

Shi Yan said in his heart that the child’s mind was still too sensitive.

As for Liu’s thoughts, Shi Yan can also guess. He went to his parents’ family for the first time, fearing that he would have the idea of ​​supporting Yang Hegao to continue his studies with the help of his parents’ family.

But the reality is more cruel than thought, the family is long gone, Liu Shi immediately changed his mind, and brought Yang Hegao to Bai’an County to defect to him. Mrs. Liu knew her abilities. If she accepted her son here, at least she could ensure that her son would have no worries about food and clothing, and if he thought better, he would be able to read and write with him.

This is the best choice Liu can make for her son. For her son, she can choose to live in Bai’an County, a place where it is very easy to be identified and called out.

Yang Hegao didn’t understand this, but Shi Yan could understand it at a glance. Shi Yan had no ill feelings towards such a person.

It’s not that people can’t use it if they come back on their own initiative, but this kid is right about one thing, he is indeed a very capable kid.

“If that’s the case, then let’s stay.”

Yang Hegao answered happily, with an inconspicuous smile on his face. He immediately turned around and went out to find Liu Erbo to carry the vegetable jar together. He didn’t say a word of superfluous words, and he had a lot of work in his eyes. I feel like I have a crisis of unemployment.

Shi Yan didn’t talk about the monthly payment, Yang Hegao didn’t ask, and they didn’t worry about Shi Yan pitting him at all. The two only agreed that Yang Hegao would go to work at home during the day and return to the small yard he rented with Liu’s at night. .

Shi Yan didn’t want to cheat on the child, but some people came to the door and wanted to cheat him.

Regarding this matter, not only Mrs. Miao thought it was incredible, but even Shi Yan couldn’t figure out the brain circuits of these people. He felt that the opposite side was a deep pit, and the people on the opposite side felt that they could take the initiative to come to the door, which was a compliment to Shi Yan.

It was almost impossible to write “Don’t be ignorant of praise” on his face, let Shi Yan know a little about the current affairs, and don’t waste everyone’s time.

Shi Yan waved his hand and told Liu Erbo and Yang Hegao to continue carrying the vegetable jars into the car: “I have something to do today, so the two of you will go to open the store. It’s almost time, don’t make customers wait for a long time for people who don’t care.”

Yang He Gao was worried about leaving Shi Yan alone to face these ghosts and demons, but he said, “Yes, sir, you are right, business is much more important than irrelevant people, I know.”

As a result, he turned a corner, and where no one could see, Liu Erbo, who was on the ox cart, ran to the **** station, looking for someone to support Shi Yan.

In Yang Hegao’s heart, don’t look at his husband wandering around the stove all day, in fact he is a gentleman, and he can reason with people and can say that he will not stop for three days and three nights, and conspiracy and conspiracy will come at will, like a born superior.

But in the face of these rough people, Mr. really may not be able to do anything, and the possibility of losing in their hands is very high.

In order not to let the husband get hurt, the most sensible way is to move the rescuer for him!

Shi Yan was very pleased that Yang Hegao had this realization, and then turned around and asked, “Let me enter the Miao family tree?”

On the opposite side, a middle-aged man who looked in his forties, was honest and honest, and was called the fifth uncle by the group of young men around nodded to Shi Yan.

The tone is very sincere: “Since you have joined my Miao family, you will not be able to enter your Xu family’s ancestral tomb in the future. If there are no sacrifices during the festivals, why not become a lonely ghost, how miserable?

The members of the clan have discussed it, this time not only can you enter the Miao family tree, but also enter my Miao family ancestral tomb a hundred years later, and enjoy the worship of my Miao family descendants for generations. Your father-in-law and your wife Fenghua can also be moved to the ancestral tomb together. ”

Uncle Wu’s words were very emotional, as if he was moved by what he said, he touched the beard on his chin and smiled honestly.

“We don’t have any other requirements, that is, there are a few clever boys in the clan. It’s a pity to stay at home to farm. It’s better to let them fight for you and come to the city to learn more.”

It was only when Shi Yan understood the plans of these people that he decided to put his mind on the recipe of the rice noodle shop again.

No matter how nice and euphemistic it is, the purpose is not the same. Not only Shi Yan understood it, but also Mrs. Miao, but even if she understood it, she was still moved at this moment.

No matter how nice it was before the tomb of Master Miao, the devaluation of the Miao family was worthless. In fact, there was a mentality of not being able to eat grapes and saying that the grapes were sour. The old lady still prefers to be buried in her ancestral grave after her death.

Life and death are not just words.

Compared to Shi Yan, a son-in-law with a lot of criminal records, the old lady is more inclined to hand over the affairs of her family to the blood-connected clansmen. I believe that ten out of ten people will choose to agree to this matter.

It’s not that she’s emotionally inclined, it’s just a very objective fact in front of her: between the prosperous clansman and the weak son-in-law, which offspring can last longer and offer incense to their family for a long time, it’s not obvious. thing?

But the old lady can’t be in charge of this matter. She clearly knows that the son-in-law is in charge of this family. Even if the son-in-law does not agree with her, even if she accepts it, the son-in-law has a way to make her regret it.

This son-in-law is cruel.

So Mrs. Miao gritted her teeth and sat on the head with a child in one hand, pretending to be deaf and dumb, and her eyes were rolling. No matter who talked to her, she pretended to be too old and her ears were not good enough to hear. Out of sight is pure meaning, which really made Wu Bo both angry and funny.

Mrs. Miao couldn’t make sense here, and the fifth uncle was not in a hurry. Sitting opposite Shi Yan, sipping tea from time to time, she looked very calm and determined, and she believed that Shi Yan would agree.

No normal person can resist this temptation.

But the problem is that Shi Yan is not a normal person, he not only doesn’t value these things, but also directly said to Wu Bo: “A lot of things have happened in the clan recently, I have heard people say that, in addition to my deep sympathy, I also went to the temple in the suburbs to ask the abbot to make a divination for you.

The hexagrams say that there is a big problem with the feng shui of our ancestral tombs, and the whole clan who live in too many people will not be peaceful. ”

Then he tilted his head and asked the fifth uncle very seriously: “You are an elder, and you are old. You must have experienced more things than I know. Tell yourself, has the clan been unhappy in recent decades? ?”

Wu Bo’s face turned red, and he was about to blurt out the words of reprimand as soon as he slapped the table, Shi Yan stopped it in time: “Don’t try to hide it from me, things in the clan have been spread all over the street as stories these days. Ah can’t hide it.”

The fifth uncle is really angry, and his family’s ugliness can’t be made public. From the family, there are murders, people who are immersed in pig cages, and those who abandon their parents. It can only be dealt with within the family. When will it be an outsider’s turn to point the finger. ? It really makes no sense.

However, the anger on Wu Bo’s face flashed, and he quickly suppressed his anger. After two sips of tea, the expression on his face changed several times, and then changed to that honest, smiling look.

Touching the beard on his chin, he persuaded Shi Yan in a warm voice, “My child, you are still young and you don’t understand what’s going on here. I won’t care about you. Let your mother speak out. You can’t control this matter.”

Shi Yan raised his eyebrows. According to the general perception of today’s people, the son-in-law has a low status. When it comes to the relocation of his father-in-law and his wife’s graves, it is really difficult to speak. As long as the family speaks and the elders in the family agree, it really doesn’t matter to him. Son.

It seems that the person in front of him is also playing this idea.

Thinking of this, Shi Yan didn’t say anything. He wanted to take this opportunity to see Mrs. Miao’s reaction, which subtly influenced the old lady for half a year. Although some parts are still difficult to describe, it is enough to be able to grasp the big things. I didn’t plan to reshape the old lady’s three views, that’s not what his son-in-law should do.

Several people’s eyes were cast on the old lady, and the old lady Miao pretended to be deaf and dumb and took Jiu Lianhuan’s hand to tease the eldest grandson.

Uncle Wu was very satisfied with Mrs. Miao’s reaction, a relieved smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, his hand touching the beard stopped in the air, waiting for Mrs. Miao to say the answer in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the old lady Miao only briefly paused, Yu Guang saw her son-in-law smiling but did not speak, so she pretended to be deaf and mute to the end, and even pushed Wu Bo a cup of tea in a very master-like manner.

Hand signal: eat.

Eat more tea and talk less, didn’t you see that my shriveled calf’s eyeballs are stuck on your body and can’t be pulled out? You old man is scratching the tiger’s whiskers, you are in danger right now, you know?

At such an old age, I still don’t have any eyesight. It’s really an age to live in a dog’s belly!

I don’t want to? I dare not! Today, if I say to move the grave, he will be able to go down with a pack of medicine tomorrow and make me sick in bed and unable to get up. But you still can’t find the reason, do you believe it?

How do I know? Naturally, I secretly overheard him when he was conspiring with He Dana’s murderer!

The old lady Miao kept complaining about the fifth uncle: “The thing that killed a thousand knives came to my house to bully my wife and two children, and the one who robbed my family property was your son! I remember Qing Qinger. of!

If it weren’t for your greed for the offerings of your descendants, would you still want to drink tea and eat snacks today? It’s good if you don’t have a big stick to chase you out for three streets!

Pooh! I can’t see the good of others, a scumbag with shallow eyelids! A coward and a nest. ”

On his face, it was as if he had not heard or seen anything just now. Tired of playing, he threw the nine chains and led the two children out of the living room.

The old lady with little feet thought to herself, “Why are you staying here? The old man and Fenghua moving back to the ancestral grave is no longer a drama. Wouldn’t it be annoying to listen to it again?”

The old lady walked neatly and neatly, leaving the fifth uncle to start to be dumbfounded. Looking at the old lady’s back for a long time, she didn’t understand how anyone could withstand the temptation of returning to the ancestral grave!

The fifth uncle is still thinking in a mess at this moment: “Xu Laowu is not a Miao family member, so naturally he won’t care about what happened to Master Miao and Miao Fenghua, how can he come easily, but how can Mrs. Miao be so indifferent ? This is unreasonable!”

Not to mention Master Miao and Miao Fenghua, they are the elders who are serving as officials. Whether it is to resign or to become an official, which final destination is not to return to their hometown for self-cultivation? Expecting to go directly to the ancestral grave at the end of the day!

Not to mention, it is rumored that such a powerful person lives in Bai’an County.

It can be seen how important it is to enter the ancestral grave after death. How did Mrs. Miao resist this temptation? Her refusal not only rejected the relocation of her husband and daughter’s grave, but also cut off the possibility of her entering the ancestral grave in the future.

Uncle Wu couldn’t figure it out in his heart, and his face was also very ugly. Originally, he was sure that they had sacrificed a lot of things. Who would have thought that they would hit a wall one after another? .

However, after the patriarch and the sixth uncle dismounted one after another, Wu Bo was able to successfully become a new talker with this honest and honest image, which is also unique in his own way.

If it wasn’t easy to say at first, he was stunned to tell him with the appearance of an honest man: “Moving graves into the genealogy is a major event, and you should think about it slowly.

Putting aside this matter, you are still the ones that the big guys care about in your heart, but unfortunately your lineage has not been close to the clan over the years.

Otherwise, leave two clever boys to run errands for you, and we will kiss each other.

Besides, the clan plans to rebuild the ancestral hall and the ancestral land, the big guys will contribute money if they have money, and those who don’t have money will contribute…”

To put it bluntly, it is money.

Shi Yan snorted softly, thinking in his heart that the two richest families have collapsed, and there is really no one to take advantage of in the village.

This should be the reason why you guys put your mind on me again, right?

It’s really beautiful to think about, and acting like this from your point of view can indeed solve the problem the fastest, but how do you know that I will get used to your bad habit?
