reborn as a brother

Chapter 109

"What's the matter?" Xie Qi listened to Brother Zhang finished speaking, then answered indifferently, and said again. "It didn't belong to us in the first place, but it was just God's favor. It blessed us in Hexi Village and other villages. In order to protect it, the villages behind us, speaking of it, took a huge advantage. Now that Fuze has been taken back by God, there is nothing to complain about. Even if there is no well water, they can still live , You can earn a good life with your hands."

He believes in his own strength even more, and with his own hands, he can make his wife's life better.

To be honest, well water and so on are not particularly important to him, and this thing is not his own, so if he relies on it, he feels insecure and uneasy.

Fortunately, he didn't have this kind of thought. Now the well water has lost its magical effect, and life doesn't have much impact.

He has already planned in his heart how the next year will be, and he will lie on the bed at night and talk to his wife, so that he has a bottom line in his heart, don't panic, you have to trust him.Who is he, Xie Qi? He is known as a good hunter.

He has a clear understanding of the mountains in front and back.Even Tiger Peak has been back and forth several times, relying on the surrounding mountains, even if his wife gave birth to seven or eight children, he can still raise them like a little fat man, white and clean like a big steamed bun.

"That's right. Without the magical well water, we have hands and feet, and are healthy. As long as we work hard, there won't be much difference." Brother Zhang San also felt that he was thinking a little bit. too much.

It is convenient money to earn by relying on well water, and the money comes quickly and more.Relying on his hands, with his face to the ground and his back to the sky, he worked from morning to night and worked hard. What he earned was hard money, which didn't come easily or came slowly, so he had to save a little bit.

Many villagers may not be used to living a good life, but suddenly they have to go back to the past.

He was influenced by Brother He. He and Ah Qi lived in Brother Ji's house. They had no land in their hands, and the well water didn't have much influence on them.

In his thinking, next year, save a sum of money, sell two pieces of wasteland, plant some vegetables, and have well water, so that the money will come in faster, and Xiaosanjian's blue brick house can be saved in less than two years .

If the well water really loses its magical effect, you can still make money even if you think of other ways, there will always be a way to go.

They are still young, and their bodies are still relatively strong. Take your time and don't rush.

Ji Anyi was also thinking about one thing.

Now that the well water has been abandoned, I don't know when Su Jinming will come to him and when his business will reopen.

If the crops at home are not irrigated with well water, they will lose their unique delicacy, and they will be worthless. People can sort out one, two, three if they think about it casually.

Spicy garlic radish sticks and stewed radish sticks, these two are for sure, and they are of no great use.

Jam is still possible, this method is kept secret.Then there is fish sauce, and there is basically nothing wrong with fish sauce.Hot and sour bamboo shoots are also fine.

I still have nearly 300 taels of silver in my hand, just relying on the three items of jam, fish sauce, hot and sour bamboo shoots, I can still live in peace and beauty, and I don’t have to worry about money.

It's just that Su Jinming's business wanted to reopen, and he didn't have a new name, so it might not work.

He had to think carefully about what new tricks he should come up with.

With the above situation, the situation should be stabilized in the first half of next year, and Su Jinming's business may reopen in the second half of the year.

"Daughter-in-law. It will be 24 soon, should we go back to Yuzi Village?" Thinking of this, Xie Qi asked.

Originally, we could ask about this matter at night, but the atmosphere in the kitchen is really a bit too dull, so he raised a topic to make it lively.

When the well water is gone, it will be gone. There is nothing to worry about. It's not like the sky is falling.

"Going back tomorrow?" Originally, I wanted to go home on the 24th to celebrate the new year, thinking that the village chief said that the Feng Shui master would come over in the next two days, and it would be bad to miss the important events in the village.Brother Zhang San changed the time. "I have all the clothes ready."

Xie Qiyi laughed when he heard this, and pushed Wang Xiaoer next to him. "I'll take the three wild animals as presents first."

"Yeah. You're all in good spirits, good gift." Wang Xiaoer quickly responded, and then looked at Ji Anyi again. "Daughter-in-law, let's prepare dinner, it's getting late."

Ji Anyi glanced out the window. If he didn't pay attention, it was already evening, so he hurriedly stood up. "Success. Prepare dinner."

The topic of well water was put aside just like that, and the four of them busily discussed the matter of dinner.

After dinner, I cleaned up the kitchen, took a bath and soaked my feet, and lay down comfortably in the warm blanket.

"Idiot, let me tell you something." As soon as he lay down on the bed, Ji Anyi turned sideways, took Wang Xiaoer's hand, and told him not to turn off the lamp.

Wang Xiaoer withdrew his hands and leaned against the head of the bed. "What's up?"

"The well water has been wasted. I want to open a lo-mei shop. Let's open it in our town first. When Su Jinming comes to see us, ask him if he wants a copy. If he agrees, his shop is in Wanjing City. , if we ship to him, the volume will be more if the business is good. Just in time, let the villagers raise more pigs, which can be regarded as an income. What do you think?" When I put this matter on my mind, I just felt Before the time came, I didn't bring it up and say it. Now, Ji An Yijue's time is almost here.

"That's a good idea." After a pause, Wang Xiaoer asked again. "Daughter-in-law, should we drive it alone? Or should we talk to Brother and the others? What about Xie Qi and the others?"

They have been living under the same roof for several years now. Although they are not related by blood, they are a close family. This point needs to be discussed properly.

"I think the partnership is pretty good." After thinking about it, Ji Anyi expressed his thoughts. "Our family has an ox cart, and it's not far from the town. Let Brother Zhang and his elder brother take the little fat man to the town to do business in the shop. I'm making lo mei at home, and the three of you have to take care of the ground. Tian, ​​besides these, we also have to butcher pigs, clean up pork, and deliver goods. There are a lot of miscellaneous things. If we open a shop alone, we will definitely be too busy, and a partnership is also very good."

Speaking of this, the meeting stopped, and Ji Anyi continued. "I don't think Su Jinming will miss this opportunity. If he opens a shop in Wanjing City, there will be a lot of goods at that time. This is no better than the food we sold before. At that time, Su Jinming took the high-end route, and the high prices were for those young masters who ate, drank and had fun. Yes. I want to take the civilian route for this stewed pork. The price is a few copper coins higher than the price of pork. Every household can eat it several times. When the taste comes out, there will be no worries about no business. It can also indirectly drive us The economy of Hexi Village."

"Let's see how the village chief handles the matter of the well water. This matter has been properly resolved. After the new year, let's talk about the stewed pork matter and discuss it with them in detail. Now, let's Don't talk about it." After listening to his wife's words, Wang Xiaoer felt pretty good, and he had another idea, so he said it together. "I think that when the village chief took the initiative to let us waste the well water, he should have thought about how to improve the economy of Hexi Village. He had a bottom line in his heart. Let's see what the village chief thinks .”

Ji Anyi also thought of this. "Yes. I also feel that the village chief must have thought something in his mind. Let's wait for a couple of days to see, the village chief explained that the Feng Shui master Ah Yuan had found came over, as well as the elder and younger sons of the village chief's family. I will also bring a Feng Shui master over here. When the matter has a result, the village head will call the whole village for a meeting, and then we will be able to understand what he thinks. Let's see what the village head thinks about the stewed pork , we'll think about it later."

If the village chief has a way to ensure that the life in Hexi Village will gradually improve, he won't want to show off too much. It's better to keep a low profile in life and work, and don't make too much noise.

The main reason is that without well water, there are many families in the village. They have a good relationship with them, and their lives are not particularly good. If he is able, he wants to help them. Everyone lives peacefully and beautifully. How wonderful .

"Okay." Knowing his daughter-in-law's temperament, Wang Xiaoer smiled cheerfully, not to mention how happy he was. "Daughter-in-law, let's sleep."

Feeling confident, Ji Anyi also felt relieved, and nodded with a smile. "Blow the lights. Good night, nerd."

"Good night, daughter-in-law." After blowing out the oil lamp, Wang Xiaoer shrank into the bed and hugged his daughter-in-law tightly. In the dark, he kissed his daughter-in-law's face accurately, closed his eyes happily, and fell asleep after a while up.

The next day, after breakfast, Xie Qi and Zhang San took the arranged New Year's goods, put on the ox cart and walked happily to Yuzi Village.

When the horse bandits attacked last time, they went to Yuzi Village.

Xie Qi was very aggressive in the Zhang family, stunned the Zhang family's two young men, even the Zhang family brothers.

The old couple of the Zhang family were very happy with this situation. The two sons Lang An gave birth to each other, and they stopped making petty moves, so they would not be troubled by life.

The whole family has to live in harmony and beauty, with less care and care, and living together as one, that's great.

"Fortunately, Brother Zhang San met Xie Qi, and none of the two men in the Zhang family are fuel-efficient. Xie Qi was born as a hunter, and his face was dark and his eyes were staring, and he really had a bit of evil spirit. I can imagine certain scenes." Wang Baoer laughed out loud as he spoke.

It is also a blessing, bitter before sweet, as the old saying goes.

Speaking of this, Ji Anyi remembered something, approached Wang Baoer, and said with a smile. "That time, when the horse bandits attacked, Zhang Sangeer and Xie Qi went back to Yuzi Village. After returning, Zhang Sangeer took my hand and said in a daze that he had never thought about it in his life. You can live so steadily." After a pause, he said again. "Xiao Er said that Xie Qi was seriously injured at that time, and it was Brother Zhang San who took care of him carefully. At that time, Xie Qi asked Xiao Er about it, and he had some thoughts in his heart. It is also fate, and things in the world are true. No."

"Brother Zhang San is kind and kind, which is very different from your kindness. He is soft, so he is good. If you meet someone who doesn't understand him or cherish him, you will have to suffer. Fortunately, Xie Qi This person is the right one." Wang Baoer laughed cheerfully as she said that.

After hearing this, Ji Anyi also laughed.

Things in this world do not always play their cards according to common sense.

It should be thinking about important events in the village. After the afternoon, Xie Qi and Brother Zhang came back in a hurry.

This time I came back and brought back some things, such as pickled vegetables and dried vegetables, eggs and so on.

"Ji Geer, my aunt made new clothes for you and Xiao Er, try to see if the size fits you well." After getting off the bullock cart, Brother Zhang San took out a cloth bag and rushed into the house happily.

When returning to Zhang’s house, Brother Zhang San would say something to his aunt, so that they could feel at ease, and don’t worry about how well he lived in Hexi Village. Not good at sewing.

Brother Zhang San didn't expect that his grandma would remember it in his heart. This time he went home and made two winter clothes. He was so happy with the winter clothes, which was better than giving Ji Geer and the two of them a small mouthful. It's even more fun to make clothes.

Ji Anyi was also very surprised, holding a thick winter coat, he couldn't react.

He thought of Zhang's grandma's appearance, with a slightly hunched back, wearing plain clothes, the fabric was washed white, but it was very clean, her hair was neatly combed, half black and half silver, she was holding a needle and thread all the year round, her eyes A little narrowed, when he smiled, there was a kindness.

"Try Brother Ji." Brother Zhang San was a little more impatient than Ji Anyi.

"Okay." Ji Anyi came back to his senses, took off his padded jacket, and put on his clothes.

It was a thick blue jacket with tight stitches, so at least it had to be sewn back and forth twice.

Wang Baoer was helping to pull the clothes, looked at it seriously, looked at it several times, and said with a smile. "Ah, the Zhang family's craftsmanship is really good. I've only seen it twice. The size of this is about the right size."

Sure enough, he is a craftsman, experienced and skilled.

"Is Brother Ji warm?" Brother Zhang San asked happily, smiling like a blooming flower.

Ji Anyi understood the excitement in his heart and nodded. "Warm and very comfortable to wear."

This is a family relationship. Brother Zhang San thought he was abandoned by the family relationship, but found that the family relationship has always been there, watching him silently from the side.

In the afternoon and evening, Ah Yuan called the feng shui master over. Since it was getting late, he planned to come back tomorrow to find out the reason.

At the beginning of the morning on the 23rd, a carriage drove into Hexi Village, and the feng shui masters brought by the elder and younger sons of the village chief also arrived. The three feng shui masters sat and talked a lot, and they didn't start to act until halfway through the hour.

The village had already received the news, and it happened that there was nothing important about this meeting, so the villagers put on thick clothes one after another, sneaked out to have a closer look, their hearts raised in their throats.

The well in the Wang's house, don't be a big scorpion, and think about it, relying on that magical well water, and save a sum of money to improve your life.

I haven't saved enough money, and there is a problem with the well water, so what should I do?

I don’t go home until it’s dark, and I can’t get much money even if I fumble in the fields all year round. It’s not easy to save money.

As the saying goes, it is easy to go from simple to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to simple.

At this moment, most of the villagers are in such a tormenting state of mind.

There was a small part of them who looked openly, just watching the excitement, and there was nothing too intense on their faces, and the brows were quite peaceful.

It's time to be content, the horse bandit came to the village twice, and narrowly avoided it, without any major losses.The seven villages in front looked miserable. Compared with them, they were very lucky.

The three feng shui masters, holding what they are best at and holding their own pressed goods, surrounded the village chattering, wandering in and out three times.

Looking at that posture, it's really a bit of a weight.

The whole village surrounded the three of them, and their hearts were not at peace all day long.

After a whole day, towards the evening, the result was finally reached.

The feng shui of Hexi Village is broken, and I can't come back. I will pay my respects to True Lord Chunyang. Maybe, after saving for many more years, God will look after me again.

Just after saying this, not long after, the villagers came back to their senses, hurried back home, took out the firecrackers and ran into the temple.

The village chief greeted the three Feng Shui masters who had been busy all day and walked into the yard.

There is already a result, there is nothing to see, and they are walking in twos and threes, discussing some things in a low voice.

Ji Anyi and his group were quiet, and returned home without saying anything.

"Brother Ji, it's all right. The well water is gone, we are still fine, we can still live." Wang Baoer thought that Ji Anyi's hurdles were hard to overcome, and she felt a little distressed, and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

"I'm thinking that I'll be 24 tomorrow, so I have to offer incense to Grandma and Daddy." Ji Anyi replied with his head turned.

Wang Baoer was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and her eyes turned red all of a sudden. "Success, let's go together tomorrow."

24 is a small year, early in the morning, all get up early.

After packing up their things and carrying their baskets, a few of them headed into the mountains.

From time to time, I would come to clear the graves, and the surrounding area was also cleaned up, not desolate at all.

After staying in the mountain for more than half an hour, I walked out of the mountain.

I met Liu Ahmo on the road, also holding a basket in his hand, looking at the route, it should be to Ji's grave.

"Let me talk to your aunt, so that they don't miss you. When the well water is gone, it will be gone. Don't think too much. Fortunately, life is over, no matter how difficult it is, you will not return to the original difficulty. Take your heart away and continue to look forward. In a blink of an eye, you will grow up too, and you will be sixteen next year." There was deep emotion in Liu Ah's eyes, she reached out and touched Ji Anyi's hair, smiling Very kind, it is a kind of warmth that can only be precipitated after years.

Ji Anyi smiled like a child, and nodded seriously. "Ah Liu, I know."

After talking about the conversation, we separated, and each went about his own business.

The three Feng Shui masters left after lunch, and politely sent them out of the village. Then, the village gong rang.

Everyone knew it in their hearts, and they guessed that it was time for the village chief to call them for a meeting.

Hearing the sound of the gong, they all hurried to the old locust tree.

"You also know that the feng shui in our village has been destroyed, and the well in Wang's house has been abandoned. I don't know how long it will take, how many years it will take for the blessing to land in our Hexi village again. When the news comes out, I know you I was a little flustered in my heart. The time is neither too long nor too short. The well water in Wangjiawu has made life much better for every household in Hexi Village. Now, the well water is suddenly gone again. It’s easy. I summoned you here today to tell you one thing.”

As he said that, the village chief stopped talking, glanced at the crowd, and was quite satisfied with their reaction. After the horse bandit incident, the current Hexi Village is better than before.

"Enjoy this new year with peace of mind. Next year will be a new year. I'm here to tell you that even if there is no well water, relying on our hands, we can still make life better. There is still land at home, so I plant some fruit trees such as apricots and plums. My child has several recipes in his hand and needs a lot of fruits. The chickens and ducks raised at home, don’t rush to sell them in the town after laying eggs, keep them for me Come and collect, this is also useful.”

Speaking of this, the village head laughed happily. "Everyone who celebrates the New Year, and everyone who is frowning, give me a smile. They have just escaped the disaster, which is a great thing. Seeing that the New Year is almost here, who will show this bitter face? Just the two mentioned above. Things, you do it seriously, and there will be no problem with eating and clothing in the coming year."

Ji An Yijue's village chief was quite funny, and as soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Immediately afterwards, many people laughed happily.

The laughter became louder and louder, and soon floated out of the entire Hexi Village.

The joyful laughter dilutes the panic in people's hearts, and suddenly they feel that life has hope again, a road is gone, and another road is born, and life can still go on.

very nice.

Soon the well water was forgotten, and the villagers were happily discussing what kind of fruit trees to plant next year, whose grandma would be the best at nesting, and then went to learn how to raise more poultry next year, and some people said Let's go for a stroll in the mountains when spring begins. There are many wild fruit trees in the mountains. If you look carefully, you can still find them.If anyone has an orchard, they can distribute some saplings to plant, how to plant the fruit trees, and so on.

There are a lot of questions, and the villagers who have a good relationship gather together and talk while walking. The village chief stands under the old locust tree and looks at him with a serious look, feeling very relieved.

Uncle Liu was surrounded by the most people, and he, who was not good at words, listened cheerfully, collected questions together, and then said one, two, three in detail.

He is kind.He didn't hide it, and he explained clearly what he found out by himself.

In this way, his status in the village has unknowingly increased a lot. From then on, in his two cabins, people would go over to have a drink with him every now and then.

This day is getting more and more enjoyable.

"It's easy to raise chickens. Our family is wide enough to raise a lot." Brother Zhang San was good at it, so he said it happily.

Wang Baoer answered next to her. "With Rhubarb and Xiaohuang watching, our family raises chickens, and it's the easiest thing to do."

"Haha, in the coming year, our little fat man can run all over the place, and it can't be more lively." Ji Anyi answered with a smile.

That being said, it's true.

The little fat man was dumbfounded when he heard it, why did he look at him and smile, what was he laughing at?He tilted his head and glanced twice, then grinned a big smile, hahaha the laugh was very loud.
