Siheyuan: Rebirth 52, intercepting Qin Huairu
Chapter 214 Food Problem
However, Zhao Xiaoyan knew very well what her fate would be if she returned, so she escaped twice because she understood that compared with many people in similar situations, she could always find a way out by being flexible.
Just when she was looking for a new way of life, she was rescued by her sixth brother, and her fate took a turn for the better.
As mentioned earlier, Sixth Brother lost his wife in his early years and left her with no children. For many years he continued to harbor the intention of remarrying.
Unfortunately, his hometown Xiaowang Village is extremely poor. Moreover, although he is nearly 30 years old, he actually looks a little old, as if he has entered the threshold of 50 years old. Such appearance has prevented him from finding an ideal partner for marriage.
However, with the arrival of Zhao Xiaoyan and the two getting along with each other, there were subtle emotional changes in the Sixth Brother's heart.
Although he was worried about Zhao Xiaoyan and her two children, he did not back down. On the contrary, because he himself had not yet become a father, his feelings were more tolerant.
However, things did not go so smoothly.
The grain distributed to the village after the harvest was not deliberately saved. In addition, Sixth Brother had a strong physique and a huge appetite, and now with three more people, the food seemed to be insufficient.
The purpose of this visit was that Sixth Brother hoped to solve the current food problem through trading, not just begging.
Because of this statement, Jia Haoyun was quite curious.
Although he had no interest in some basic food resources, the items used by the other party for trading aroused Jia Haoyun's curiosity.
"Sixth brother, what did you bring back?" Jia Haoyun put down the bowl in his hand and asked curiously.
"A whole tiger skin, plus two jars of tiger bone wine," said the Sixth Brother incoherently while chewing a sheep's hoof.
Hearing such an answer, Jia Haoyun couldn't help but knock his head.
Indeed, he had received a jar of medicinal wine made from tiger penis from his sixth brother, and had never imagined the value of anything else.
"Sixth brother, how much do you want to exchange these things for?" he continued to ask.
Brother Wang Liu is one of the people who knows the situation, and now he is really in a state of helplessness.
So he found Jia Haoyun behind the scenes for help.
When returning home yesterday, Brother Wang Liu began to feel that it might not be appropriate for Jia Haoyun to visit Xiaowang Village.
Although he was usually arrogant and domineering in the village, he still had a sense of awe for these old seniors in Wangjia Village.
He was thinking about stopping Jia Haoyun in advance, just as the old saying goes, "enter quietly and leave no trace", hoping to relieve the other party's pressure in some way.
Jia Haoyun knew nothing about Wang Liuge's behavior. He was only worried about how a 300-kilogram weight would fit on a bicycle. At this moment, Wang Liuge's arrival made him feel relieved.
"Sixth brother, come here quickly, we need your help here.
"Jia Haoyun gave a hint first, and then shouted after he got closer.
Brother Wang Liu felt a little embarrassed and explained, "Hey Haoyun, I didn't dare to discuss this matter with the people in the village and came directly to you.
I had so much fun drinking yesterday that I forgot some things. This time I would like to ask you to keep it a secret for me.
"
From his words, it can be seen that he was quite embarrassed about this matter.
As soon as Jia Haoyun heard it, he immediately understood the reason.
No wonder the communication and interaction between the two sides has changed so much since he came into contact with Brother Wang Liu. It turns out that the elders in the village are giving advice and suggestions behind the scenes.
"Okay, then we'll go directly to your house.
Sixth brother, help me get some necessary things.
"
Seeing that Wang Liuge responded to his call, it was obvious that he had already anticipated this situation.
He saw three bags on the ground and picked up one without saying a word. At the same time, Jia Haoyun also put two things in his shopping basket, and the two walked together on the road to Xiaowang Village.
In Qiannan County, a series of roars suddenly broke the quiet night.
It turned out to be the village chief Wang Dazhu, who was inspecting the entire village under the cover of night.
At this time, Wang Dazhu discovered a figure that looked like Jia Haoyun.
The villagers in Wangjia Village have close ties with each other. Although the system of addressing is complicated (in Chinese tradition, there is a strict distinction between the same family members based on seniority and gender), as a visitor from outside the village, Jia Haoyun seems to be close and natural when using the address directly.
Although Wang Dazhu knew that Wang Liuge was trustworthy, he still asked, "Sixth brother, what are you doing in the village so late? And who is there?"
Facing Wang Dazhui's questioning and concerned tone.
Brother Wang Liu quickly replied: "It's me, Uncle Dashan.
"Following closely behind was a young man named Jia: "Village Chief Dazhu, I am Jia Haoyun.
"
Although the kinship relationships among villagers are complicated, it is normal to address them according to their seniority.
Jia Haoyun didn't care about this rule, so he called Wang Liuge "Sixth Brother" and Wang Dazhu "Uncle".
Whenever the name Wang Liuge rang in his ears repeatedly, any doubts about the specific name of Wang Liuge had long been forgotten. This familiarity had surpassed the importance of the name itself.
"Hao Yun? Why are you here?" Wang Dazhu originally wanted to light a lamp, but as if he suddenly remembered something, he put the match in his hand back to its original place.
“As for this question…” Jia Haoyun didn’t know where to start, so he looked at Brother Wang Liu beside him.
"Sixth brother, this is not the place to discuss serious matters. Let's go in and take a look first!" Brother Wang Liu understood what Jia Haoyun meant and quickly responded.
In this situation, people who were silent before now speak so many words.
"Dazhu...how about we go inside and talk?" They walked into the house and started talking at Brother Wang Liu's house.
Wang Dazhu did not refute. He was a smart man and realized that what the other party said was not the problem but was based on his own considerations.
The three of them arrived at Brother Wang Liu's home. Wang Dazhu helped Brother Wang Liu carry a sack. He knew that the sack should be filled with corn - his eyes suddenly widened again.
Of course, Jia Haoyun also lifted the sack; although he looked as quiet as a book, he was definitely very strong and was even stronger than Brother Wang Liu.
What was really surprising was that it turned out that Brother Wang Liu didn’t know that he had brought corn to Jia Haoyun, and the bag he picked up was actually sweet potatoes.
In addition, because it was dark and they were in a hurry to act, he ignored the specific weight of what Jia Haoyun was carrying - whether it was two hundred kilograms or three hundred kilograms, and he didn't bother to think about it.
The person knocking on the door was a pretty girl.
Although the clothes she wore were simple, Jia Haoyun noticed that her movements were skillful and powerful when she handled the sacks, and it was not difficult to find that she was a skilled worker.
This is not an exaggeration. In fact, the girl came to help at the request of Brother Wang Liu, because in her heart, she felt that Jia Haoyun was like an elegant scholar, and no one had ever reported that city people were strong.
Jia Haoyun did not explain much. Since he had accepted the task, he started to carry it out. He just didn't know where to put the item.
After putting it away, the three adults sat in the living room. Wang Dazhu glanced at the girl, started smoking and remained silent, waiting for Wang Liuge to explain the details.
Jia Haoyun was also at a loss, so he picked up the cup on the table and drank some water.
Brother Wang Liu felt embarrassed at first, but finally decided to just say **.
"We don't need to be shy about this matter anymore. Have you made up your mind to bring this woman and her child under your control?" Wang Dazhu asked.
"yes.
"
Brother Wang Liu did not respond to his brother's question. Instead, he remained calm and whispered in a low voice: "Uncle Wang, please believe me.
Although this incident was a bit sudden, it is not a major event for you.
"He replied.
This adapted version of the story aims to retain the essence of the original story while narrating it in a more fluent manner, maintaining similarities in characters and plots, and making appropriate Chinese language adjustments and style changes, striving to maintain the charm of the original story.
I hope this version will allow readers to experience different ways of language expression.
"However, for Uncle Wang Liu, it concerns his happiness for the rest of his life.
" Seeing that the situation was not good, Jia Haoyun quickly calmed down.
In fact, what Wang Dazhu was most worried about was that Jia Haoyun might be in trouble. His network of relationships could not be easily cut off, and this was decided after consultation among several village committees.
Because of this matter, they have strictly prohibited those in the village who know the truth from looking for Jia Haoyun. They only hope to maintain a good relationship in order to get Jia Haoyun's help at a critical moment. Just like Jia Haoyun exchanged sweet potatoes for wild boar meat this year, every family in the village can get more sweet potatoes, and their lives have improved a lot.
Wang Dazhu knew that this involved Wang Daliu's happiness, and he also wanted to help.
However, when facing Jia Haoyun, proper etiquette cannot be neglected.
Fortunately, Jia Haoyun did not mind this matter, which allowed him to report to the elders in the village.
"Besides, Uncle, I'm not losing money, am I? Brother Wang Daliu didn't ask for it for no reason. He got it in exchange for something.
"Jia Haoyun further explained.
"Sixth brother's idea is this, can your little thing be exchanged for 300 kilograms of corn?"
As soon as this matter was mentioned, Wang Dazhu became angry.
Just for these meager things, they gave away 300 kilograms of corn? Isn't this bullying others? As villagers, don't they know the value of this matter? For them, these grains are life-saving things.
As for the tiger skin and medicinal wine, they were just ordinary things, obviously insignificant compared with the important foods of life today.
"No! Three thousand kilograms of corn?"
Suddenly, my uncle Wang Daliu was stunned, because he had just carried a bag of sweet potatoes over and he would not have made a mistake in the calculation.
"What's wrong? I just carried corn, how could I not know the weight? That bag has 50 kilograms in total, there is no less.
"
Wang Dazhu was a little angry. He was challenging the integrity of the old farmer who was working in the fields.
“Yes, it’s corn.
"Zhao Xiaoyan interrupted gently.
She was the first one to realize this when she took over the bag of corn. Her heart beat rapidly at that moment. This was indeed useful food!
