Mr. Transcendence

Fang Hua knocked on pumpkin seeds and wobbled towards the open space where people in the village often gather. When she met a few men walking by with ladders and shovels talking and laughing, she glanced curiously.When she came to a few women who were working together, she leaned over and couldn't help asking a woman she knew well: "I just saw the elders and the three of them going west with a shovel and a ladder. What are they going to do?"

The woman pretended to be curious and asked, "You don't know?" After all, Fang Hua was famous for being inquisitive, and she would always know first if there was anything going on in the village.What's more, this matter has something to do with the other party.

Fang Hua spat out the skin of the pumpkin seeds. Hearing the voice of the other party seemed to have something to do with her, she became even more curious: "What do I know?"

Another woman made a secret in a low voice: "You know that Yuan Anping brought Huo Xiaohan back, right?"

"I know, I heard that I came back in a carriage, and I don't know what to show off. Anping is really, you can't spend money like this." When she first heard about it, she felt sore in her heart. She grew up so big I still don't know what it's like to ride a carriage.

The woman didn't answer her bitter words, and continued: "Let me tell you. Huo Xiaohan broke up with Huo Laohei, so naturally he can't go back home. It's improper to live with Yuan Anping. The courtyard of Zhou’s fourth family. But the house has been idle for a while, so I can’t live in it directly, no, your elder brother and sister-in-law recruited some people to help him repair the house.”

Fang Hua couldn't help but said angrily, "They are really caring."

Hearing what she said, the women secretly laughed in their hearts.Who doesn't know that the couple like to take advantage of others, and now Yuan Anping seems to have some money, the couple must be jealous, but the relationship was too stiff before, and they couldn't even come to the door to fight.

A woman who was not used to Fang Hua smiled and said, "That's right, Anping is their nephew. As an uncle, he naturally cares."

Fang Hua curled her lips: "What is caring? It's not that little bit of thought. Who can't figure it out. Besides, Anping is really true. It's fine if he doesn't know Huo Xiaohan, but he still breaks the blood relationship. It's in vain for him." I’m still a scholar, and I don’t know how to accumulate virtue for myself.”

A woman hurriedly interrupted him, and warned in a low voice: "Fang Hua, don't talk nonsense! The village chief can say that Huo Xiaohan and his family are destined to be unrelated, and they will only end up hurting their blood relatives." Darling, doing this is because of Huo Xiaohan's filial piety and he doesn't want to implicate his family."

Another person also said: "Yes, yes. In the final analysis, it is a last resort, otherwise who would want to break off the marriage."

Several other women echoed.Anyway, what the village chief said is correct, at least this statement will not damage the reputation of the village. In fact, this kind of matter that concerns everyone's interests can be whispered in your heart, but it cannot be spread.

The so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, and in a village with a bad reputation, it is not easy for a man to marry or a daughter to marry outside. Therefore, in any village, villagers are not allowed to do things that hinder the reputation of the village. If the villagers make mistakes, they are mostly dealt with by the village rules. .And what Yuan Anping did, if the village chief didn't show mercy to Huo Xiaohan, it would not have gone so smoothly.Fang Hua is not stupid, and she no longer talks about this topic after hearing the words.

"Okay, okay, who doesn't understand, I won't say anything." Fang Hua thought of something and got up: "I have to go home first."

A woman saw Fang Hua leave, and asked others with a smile, "Do you think Fang Hua will also pass by?"

The others couldn't help laughing and said, "I guess, as long as she loves to take advantage, she will definitely go back."

"I guess so. After all, it was his elder brother and sister-in-law who took the lead, and they were ashamed to come forward."

"That's right, as long as they are thick-skinned, they don't care if people dislike them."

………………

When Fang Hua returned home, she saw no one in the yard, so she went into the back room, and she saw her husband who had slept under the covers after lunch.

He stepped forward and pushed Won Geun Suk who was snoring loudly: "Wake up, wake up, don't sleep, I have something to tell you."

Yuan Geunshuo, who was disturbed to sleep, was very impatient: "Damn you, don't disturb my sleep!"

Fang Hua was not afraid of him, she continued to stretch out her hand and said, "Wake up, I really have something to tell you."

Yuan Genshuo tugged the quilt angrily, without opening his eyes: "What's the matter? Tell me!"

Fang Hua sat by the bed: "That kid Yuan Anping is back, you know it." Seeing that the other party didn't make a sound, she continued: "He brought Huo Xiaohan back and said that he rented Zhou Laosi for him. house. Your eldest brother and sister-in-law are busy helping that Huo Xiaohan to repair the house. "

"What does this have to do with me?" Yuan Genshuo turned his back to Fang Hua impatiently: "Okay, you go out, don't bother me to sleep."

Fang Hua refused to let him sleep, and pushed him again: "I just know how to sleep! Let me tell you, when you get up, the two of us will go over and help."

"You're dreaming! I'm helping that dead boy? You're out of your mind!" Yuan Gen sat up angrily, "Say, what do you mean?" He also knew his wife, just like him He is a master who does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles. How can he rush forward for something that is not good.

Fang Hua saw that he was fully awake, so she whispered to him, "That boy Anping seems to have earned a lot of money, let's take this opportunity to get on better with him."

Yuan Genshuo didn't take it seriously: "You can pull you down, we have a deadlock with him, you'd better rest, don't mess with those useless things." He made a gesture to lie down again.

Fang Hua glared at him: "Why are you so determined? Let's take the initiative to repair it. As a junior, he can still drive us back? Besides, he is a scholar, and scholars value reputation most. You can’t be disrespectful to us, and when it gets out, it’s him who will suffer.”

Yuan Genshuo was not happy: "That is to say, he doesn't want to see us in his heart, what's the use of us rushing to help? I won't go!"

Fang Hua smiled and expressed her thoughts: "Even if we can't get along well with him, we can at least have a good meal in the past, and we won't suffer no matter what."

Yuan Genshuo thought it was right after hearing that, asking the villagers to help him had to buy a meal, and he had to have a meat dish. He also wanted to eat meat, so he agreed: "Okay, but it doesn't have to be so early, hurry up Just go to dinner."

Fang Hua didn't want to work either, and she agreed with her husband's idea: "It's okay if you don't go so early, but you have to go there before dinner to put on a show."

"Okay. Where did Dafu go, take him with you when the time comes."

..............................

Yuan Gensheng took people to the courtyard of Zhou's fourth family, and asked his daughter-in-law Zhou Xiangzhi to talk to Yuan Anping, and let them decide which house to repair first.

Zhou Xiangzhi came to Yuan Anping's house, and said to Yuan Anping: "Everyone has been found, you two should go and have a look, choose a house, come out, fix it quickly, don't delay Xiaohan's living."

Yuan Anping and Zhong Sunrui, who also wanted to help, said: "Xiao Rui, you stay at home to take care of your grandfather, and pay attention, don't let these three little guys come in and mess around."

Zhong Sunrui nodded obediently.

Seeing Zhong Sunrui, Zhou Xiangzhi couldn't help but ask Yuan Anping when he left the courtyard: "Anping, whose child is that? It looks strange."

"My master's grandson." Then he briefly talked about the experiences of the grandfather and grandson.

Zhou Xiangzhi was quite surprised to hear that he had taken in two more people, but seeing that he didn't look reluctant, she didn't say anything.They also heard him say that he is the master. In their view, a teacher for one day will be a father for the rest of his life, and it is also appropriate for an apprentice to take care of the master.

Yuan Gensheng brought a dozen people to the courtyard of Zhou Laosi's family. Because there are quite a lot of people in this family, in addition to the two main houses that have been around for a long time, there are also two wing rooms on the east and west sides.He looked at the six houses, and even went into a few rooms to check the situation, and discussed with the people who came with him: "The two main houses are too dilapidated, and the two houses in the east wing look pretty good, and it's not bad to live in." Liangtang, I'll talk to Anping later, and I'll build the East Wing."

Yuan Anping and the others entered the yard, and saw more than a dozen people gathered in the yard.

Yuan Anping looked at Huo Xiaohan and signaled him to come forward to thank him, which could be regarded as training him to try to get along with other people.

After seeing Yuan Anping's gaze, Huo Xiaohan plucked up his courage, and went forward to thank the helpers: "Thank you for your help, uncles and brothers, and I will trouble you."

These men were very talkative, and they all said, "You don't have to be so polite."

"Yes, yes, they all belong to the same village, so I should help."

Huo Xiaohan felt everyone's kindness, and immediately relaxed a lot

…………

Yuan Gensheng said to Huo Xiaohan: "I think the East Wing is the best. The room is bright and newer than the main room."

Huo Xiaohan hurriedly said: "You are more experienced, so I will listen to you."

Seeing that he agreed, Yuan Gensheng called everyone to start working.The man dug the soil and mud, the woman helped clean up the yard, and Huo Xiaohan followed suit.

Yuan Anping wandered around and found that he had no place to use his skills, so he pulled Uncle Yuan aside and asked, "Uncle, can you repair both rooms in the East Wing today? There are two more people who want to live here Two rooms are enough."

Yuan Gensheng curiously asked who else would live there, then made a guess and said, "Yes, the house is not badly damaged, just stick some thatch and repair the roof."

Hearing what he said, Yuan Anping was relieved, and then asked Yuan Gensheng in a low voice: "Uncle, I have to treat them to dinner tonight. Do you have any special requirements for this dish?"

Yuan Gensheng said in a low voice: "It's nothing, but there must be meat dishes, otherwise it will not look good, and it will be difficult to hire people to work in the future."

If you want meat dishes, although there is still a lot of meat in Yuan Anping's space, there are more than a dozen strong laborers here, and the top of them can eat, so it's not good for them to be hungry.Thinking that it was quite cold today, I said to Uncle Yuan: "Uncle, how about making mutton soup with a sheep? Make two big pots of mutton soup, add some cabbage vermicelli, the amount is still enough, steam some pancakes, eat It's still warm."

Yuan Gensheng said in a low voice: "Success is success, is it too expensive to make a whole sheep? In my opinion, it's better to make two whole chickens, and then ask your aunt to fry two vegetarian dishes. There are meat and vegetables Pretty good."

"It's more convenient to make mutton soup, and you don't need to cook special dishes." Such people can eat two chickens, and each person can't get much meat.Yuan Anping mainly felt that it would be much more convenient not to cook a few dishes, and stew them all in one pot, so he said, "It's almost the twelfth lunar month, buy a sheep, and let's keep the rest for ourselves."

Yuan Gensheng thinks it's okay after thinking about it: "This is also possible. Old Liutou's family has several sheep, and I will help you choose one."

Yuan Anping took out the money: "I have to trouble you, uncle."

Yuan Gensheng didn't shirk it. It's better for an adult to come forward in such a matter. He accepted the money: "Then I'll go and order the sheep now, and let them kill them and send them here."

"Uncle, save a leg of lamb for me."

"okay."

Here, Zhou Xiangzhi led a few people to pack up the sundries in several houses and pile them up in the corner of the yard. After tidying up the kitchen, he asked Huo Xiaohan who was sweeping the floor: "Xiaohan, have you bought any pots and bowls?"

Huo Xiaohan stopped his movements: "I bought it, and I'm keeping it at Brother Anping's place."

Zhou Xiangzhi put down the cloth towel in his hand: "I'll go with you and get the pots and bowls, and let them set up a stove for you while I have the opportunity."

"Okay." Huo Xiaohan looked for Yuan Anping in the yard, and saw him standing not far from the gate talking to his cousin Zhuzi, so he said to Zhou Xiangzhi, "I'll go and talk to Brother Anping." and ran over.

The woman who was helping together looked at Yuan Anping and Huo Xiaohan who were standing and talking together, and said to Zhou Xiangzhi with a smile, "Look at it, the two are quite a match."

"Yes, it is also destined."

Zhou Xiangzhi smiled and did not answer.
