Traveling through ancient times

Zhang Fa was a little embarrassed: "Wenzhi, you see, although this matter is a village matter, Zhang Gousheng is a member of the Zhang family. How about we solve this matter in the Zhang family ancestral hall?"

At this moment, Zhang Fa's father, Zhang Baolai, came and was also the patriarch of the Zhang family!

This Zhang Gousheng is the adopted son of Zhang Baolai’s youngest brother, and he calls him grandpa!

Although he hated the kid's usual actions to the core, his brother had few children, so he adopted Zhang Gousheng from a distant relative to take care of him in his old age!

Two years later, they had another daughter, and they could only turn a blind eye to it. Unexpectedly, this guy hit a wall!

Zhang Bao came to see the two people lying on the ground, stomped his crutches hard on the ground a few times, and said:

"You two are such a disgrace and a bummer. Everything I taught you has gone wrong!"

Zhang Fa quickly stepped forward to support his father and asked, "Why are you here in the dark?"

Zhang Baolai snorted, "Useless thing, you don't know how to discipline these two, and now you have the nerve to ask me after causing such a big mess?"

He then took two steps towards Gu Wenzhi with his crutches and said:

"Wenzhi boy, it's getting late now. How about... throwing these two guys into the Zhang family ancestral hall first, letting them kneel in front of the ancestral tablets and repent, and then we can deal with them tomorrow?"

The Gu family brothers and sisters don't care what happens between them! But it's really late today, and we have to wait until tomorrow to talk about anything!

Smiling, Gu Dalian looked at his second brother! Gu Wenzhi understood:

"Grandpa Zhang, I will listen to you and tie them up and throw them into the Zhang Family Ancestral Hall!"

Zhang Baolai saw that the brother and sister were very sensible and was even more satisfied with them:

"Okay, you two good kids have been wronged! Zhang Fa, get someone to help send the children's things back!"

Some people had already gone to the kitchen to clean up things. Some people who didn't like Gousheng and his wife found a straw rope, tied their hands behind their backs, and pushed them to the ancestral hall!

Zhang Fa realized that the matter was temporarily dealt with, so he asked everyone to disperse and helped his father leave first!

The key point is that he felt that the treatment was unfair and he couldn't face the brother and sister!

Gu Dalian passed by Qin Ruyi and whispered:

"Hurry up and report to the police overnight, otherwise you won't be able to find your sister-in-law!"

Qin Ruyi was stunned for a moment. Although she was a little puzzled, she felt that this girl had some magical powers and perhaps knew something. She should go back and tell her man quickly!

Qin Ruyi’s husband is Zhang Mingliang, who is fifth generation of the Zhang family. Although he is not good-looking, he is a man with his own ideas!

He walked to the county town overnight, and arrived at the county gate before dawn. He hid under the city wall for an hour, and as soon as the city gate opened, he ran to the county government to file a complaint!

The Gu brothers and sisters didn’t care about all this. When they got home it was already late at night, so they just washed up and went to bed!

At dawn, the family just woke up and heard a commotion outside the door. When they opened the door, they saw Zhang Lizheng and a group of people preparing to knock on the door! Widow Sun was also there!

"Wenzhi, you asked me to find laborers for you. They are all here. I don't want the sneaky ones. All 52 people have brought their own stuff. Do you think it's okay?"

Zhang Fa said happily that although what happened last night, he was very happy to find a way for the villagers to make money!

Gu Wenzhi looked around and saw Liu Li among them, so he said:

"Okay, Uncle Lizheng, you are busy, I will take everyone to Zhongtian first, and my uncle and Daqiang will help take care of it!"

After saying that, a group of people followed Gu Wenzhi away!

Zhang Lizheng has a lot of things to do, so he has to go home quickly!

When Gu Dalian saw so many people, she hurriedly poured forty kilograms of flour from the space into the newly added flour jar, poured another forty kilograms of rice into the jar, and took out five kilograms of eggs!

Take out five pounds of each of the radishes, cabbages, potatoes, eggplants, and long beans that have grown in the space, so that it won’t be a bit awkward for Gu Meihua and her daughter to come over and prepare more!

At around nine o'clock in the morning, Gu Meihua and her daughter came over, and Gu Dalian had already served the noodles!

I didn't expect these people to come so early today. I don't know if the men have eaten in the morning. This lunch must be prepared well no matter what. Only after eating and drinking enough will they have the strength to work!

At noon, I have to steam two pots of big white steamed buns and another pot of sweet potatoes, and then cook the dishes when the villagers are about to come back!

It should be about the same to stir-fry some spicy and sour potato shreds, some wild boar meat stir-fried with cabbage and vermicelli, some braised eggplant, and then some braised wild boar meat!

Gu Meihua looked at all the preparations in front of her, and the corners of her mouth kept twitching. These children are not prepared to live a good life, so how can they be so stubborn?

Ordinary people hired temporary workers to cook steamed corn bread with whole grains and a pot of fried cabbage. But this was a great meal, much better than what they had during the Chinese New Year!

He looked at Gu Dalian several times, but Gu Dalian ignored him.

Liu Meili touched her confused mother and signaled her not to talk too much and just do her own job!

Gu Xiaolian took little Gu Lun to dig wild vegetables, just because her sister said that wild vegetables are rich in nutrients and good for the body!

This is also the habit of digging wild vegetables in my hometown since I was a child!

Gu Wenzhi brought people to the edge of the field, pointed out the work area, said hello to Liu Li and Liu Daqiang, and then came back!

After a while, Zhang Lizheng came over with a smile and two yamen runners. They were the ones who came to measure the fields two days ago. One of the yamen runners said:

"Brother Wenzhi, our master wants you to lead the way to that place and take a look. Bring all the tools!"

Gu Wenzhi responded, and Gu Dalian couldn't let it go either. After all, there were 10,000 kilograms of potatoes in it that would change the lives of the villagers in Cuiyu Village!

"Auntie, my second brother and I have something to do. You two can take care of the cooking!" She left with her second brother!

When we followed the yamen runners to the mountain pass, we were really surprised to see a large group of people in front of us!

There were only about twenty yamen runners, and the rest were all strong men!

After a quick look, there were about 600 people, each holding a shoulder pole and two baskets with shovels in them. It looked quite serious!

The two men took a shortcut through the mountain in front and moved forward. The people behind them followed closely at first, but fell far behind in less than a quarter of an hour.

The two stopped again, waiting for the main force to catch up!

After climbing over two hills, except for about 20 yamen runners, the rest of the people were out of breath!

Seeing the boys and girls in front of them looking like banished immortals without any fatigue at all, these grown men felt ashamed of themselves!

Finally they reached the end of the field, and without saying a word, everyone sat down on the ground and pounded their calves!

Anyway, there are many people, and the soil is soft, so it is easy to harvest potatoes. Even if we delay time on the road, the yamen runners will not rush us. Only after a good rest will we have the strength to work!

Less than a quarter of an hour later, the men, under the command of the yamen runners, were digging out potatoes with all their might!

Gu Wenzhi and Gu Dalian were also running back and forth, and they would tell the other side to "take it easy, don't break the skin, otherwise we can't let it go"

I will direct that side later:

"Put the shovel in gently, or you'll break a few with every shovel!"

The men did not mind them for being nagging, as they all made a living from the land. Although they did not understand what this thing was, it could grow from the soil, had such a large yield, and the county magistrate attached so much importance to it, so it must be a good thing!

In just one hour, all the potatoes were dug out!

The yamen runners ordered the men to start loading potatoes. One basket weighed nearly 100 jin, and one load weighed 200 jin! Even the yamen runners each carried a load, and 620 men couldn't finish it!

Look at the remaining potatoes, there are still as much as 20,000 kilograms!

After everyone else had left, the last runner left said to the two men, "My name is Wei, and before I left, my master specifically asked me to tell you a few words!
