Farming and Bend the National Husband

That night, the turmoil caused by the jar of wine in Zhao Zezhong's family didn't calm down until the dishes were served.

It may be inaccurate to say that it was quiet. The accurate statement is that everyone rushed to grab the food on the table and forgot to mention the wine again.

With these ingredients brought back from Xia Jiusheng's house, Zhao Zezhong told the chef at home how to do it according to the habit of eating at Xia's house.Of course, the chef's craftsmanship is not comparable to Xia Jiusheng's, so the same method, from the chef's hands, tastes a lot better.

The family has never eaten such delicious food, so everyone let go of their reservations and quickly picked up chopsticks to pick up vegetables.

In the evening, unlike noon, it is a banquet for guests, so the dishes served are more particular. The precious materials from all over the country are made at no cost. All kinds of abalone and fish maw are served on the table, but at night, they are home-cooked dishes. Because the ingredients are good, they are better than the delicacies of mountains and seas at noon. , it tastes more enjoyable.

The old man drank some wine, and his appetite seemed to improve a lot. He ate a lot of chicken and rice field eel and loach, which was hard to imagine before. He usually only eats some easily digestible food and vegetables, so this meal, the old man The most enjoyable meal in the past ten years.

Seeing that the old man is blushing, his spirit is particularly good, and his family members are also happy. You must know that in China, having such an old man in a family is often a sign of prosperity. If you don't reach a high position, the family will slowly decline.

In Zhangtang Town, Yucheng City, Xia Jiusheng's second uncle's house also gathered a lot of relatives and friends tonight to celebrate Zhu Honggao, who has just been promoted to deputy mayor.

All four of Xia Jiusheng's family went, and the second aunt's family also came, except for her cousin who was studying in college.Surprisingly, the little aunt and uncle who usually don't show up often also came, only the uncle's family was in Shanghai, and they didn't show up.

The second uncle was originally the head of the village, and there were some villagers who got along well in the village, so these villagers came uninvited and joined the celebration.

Zhuwang Village is a large village, and there is a special place for banquets in the village. Although the banquet was rushed this time, fortunately, there were many people who helped, and with concerted efforts, the food and drinks were served on time at six o'clock in the evening.

Zhu Honggao stood on the main seat, thanked everyone with a red face, and made a toast. Everyone smiled and clinked glasses together, and the atmosphere of the scene suddenly became lively.

Xia Jiusheng looked at the smiling faces at the scene, especially the smiling faces of his cousin and future cousin who were sitting at the same table with his second uncle. His depressed mood because of Zhao Zezhong's departure in the past two days was also overshadowed by this happy event. Quite a lot.

In the future, my second uncle will take care of me in the town, so there should be no more people, just casually bully me.

Suddenly, I saw the middle-aged man and woman sitting next to my second uncle. Isn't that woman the powerful mother-in-law of my cousin?Why did you come here today? Could it be that she agreed to her cousin's marriage?

This person is really realistic. A few days ago when his cousin had an accident, he forcefully asked his daughter to draw a clear line with his cousin. But now, as soon as the second uncle got promoted, he took the initiative to come to the door.

After dinner, after the servants cleaned up the dining room, they all retreated to rest. The family sat down to drink tea and chat. The old man took Zhao Zezhong to Father Zhao's study alone, and called Uncle Zhao and Father Zhao in.

The four sat down on the mahogany sofa in the study, with serious expressions.

Mother Zhao made tea and brought it in, then closed the door and left.

"Boss, what do you think about this matter?" The old man frowned and thought for a while, then asked Uncle Zhao Zhao Mingde.

"I don't think there's any need to take it too seriously. Since the opponent has resorted to such a trick, it can only be said that there are not many cards in hand. Let's stop quietly." Zhao Mingde thought for a while and replied calmly.

"Second, what do you think?" After listening to the old man, he didn't answer, and turned to Zhao's father, Zhao Mingkang.

"I basically agree with what Big Brother said. But this incident will hurt the image of the Zhao family. I think it is necessary to clarify some things—" Zhao's father replied.

The old man nodded, but still didn't say what he thought, and asked Zhao Zezhong again: "Xiao Si, what do you think?"

"Grandpa. Uncle, Dad." Zhao Zezhong thought about this matter seriously because it was related to him: "Actually, since I found out about it yesterday, I didn't want to stop it. Since the other party wants to make trouble, we will let them do it anyway. This matter was originally spread by the other party, and Li Qiaowei also believed me, so it didn't hurt me too much, at most, it gave those ordinary people who didn't know the situation more things to talk about."

"Oh." The old man glanced at Zhao Zezhong, saw him talking calmly, and realized for the first time that his little grandson had grown up.

"At any time, we do too much and make too many mistakes. When we find an obvious weakness in them, we can just fight back." Seeing that his grandfather nodded affirmatively, Zhao Zezhong became more confident: "The more rumors they spread at this time, the more powerful they are. At that time, everyone’s resentment became stronger and stronger.”

"Xiao Si is right." The old man showed a gratified smile on his face. "If you can think that way, I'm relieved."

"Thank you, grandpa." Zhao Zezhong was affirmed by his grandpa and smiled from ear to ear.

"Second brother, wait a moment and find a good wine bottle to hold two catties of the wine brought back by Xiaosi. I'll take it to Old Man Li tomorrow." The old man told Father Xia, "It's their responsibility to say that the Li family doesn't care about things. Our Zhao family must give them an explanation, and tomorrow I will personally explain it to Old Man Li."

"Okay." Zhao Mingkang nodded.

"It's not easy for our Zhao family to get to this point. Next year is a critical year for the boss. You must restrain the people around you and don't give people any reason to attack." The old man's face became serious: "Xiao Yan's matter, you guys Don't be soft-hearted because of me, since he made this choice, our Zhao family can't tolerate such a white-eyed wolf, and everything about him in the future has nothing to do with you."

"Dad." Seeing the sadness flashing in his old father's eyes, Zhao Mingde felt uncomfortable, and hesitantly wanted to persuade him.

"I'm fine." The old man waved his hand. "It's my fault that I didn't prevent it in advance.—Now that I've reached this point, I also want to understand. One more word, I can't ruin the entire Zhao family because of one person. He is always a ticking time bomb here. It’s good to clean it up.”

"Should I send him to study abroad, away from the right and wrong place in China?" Zhao Mingde and Zhao Mingkang looked at each other and asked.

"No need." The old man regained his composure: "The great man said well, it's going to rain, mother is going to get married, let him go—"

"Okay." Several people nodded together.

After talking about this matter, the old man looked at Zhao Zezhong again.

He felt that Xiaosi was a blessed person, to know such a strange person, after drinking a bowl of wine this evening, he looked 20 years younger and full of energy.If you have a good relationship with such a strange person, it will be a big help to the family.

"Xiaosi, how did you meet that person? There are only four of us now, so you can tell me in detail." The old man softened his face and asked kindly.

"This?" Zhao Zezhong was a little embarrassed. He didn't have much face when he knew Xia Jiusheng. Could it be that he really said it?

He didn't dare to talk nonsense, for fear of affecting his grandfather's judgment, so he finally had to bite the bullet and tell the story.

Of course, he didn't say anything about having sex while drunk, otherwise grandpa might have hit him on the head with a cane.

After hearing what Zhao Zezhong said, the old man was very surprised. He looked at his two sons and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"This young man seems to have just started practicing recently, so he didn't have a good life before." Zhao's father said a little uncertainly.

"Maybe it's because the previous practice has not yielded results, and only recently has a breakthrough." Uncle Zhao said.

At their level, they have naturally heard about cultivation, but it is impossible to perform it as miraculously as in the movies. Once you develop your true energy, you will definitely have some special abilities. True Qi can be used to cure patients with acupuncture and massage. Later generations can’t practice True Qi, and those treatment methods have become decorations. Recently, Chinese medicine has declined because the people who study Chinese medicine are ordinary people.

"Anyway, since he has this ability, it is necessary to maintain a good relationship with him." The old man also figured it out, and told Zhao Zezhong: "Also, this matter must not be spread to prevent someone from harming him— —”

"Understood, Grandpa." Zhao Zezhong was relieved to see that Grandpa didn't continue to be entangled in this matter, and replied loudly.

After Xia Jiusheng had dinner at his second uncle's house, he drove home with his parents, An An. On the way, Xia's father and Xia's mother were very excited, especially Xia's mother, whose second brother became an official. The second brother has the best relationship. If there is something delicious, the second brother always thinks about her. In the future, with the second brother covering her, I can feel at ease.

"Brother, I want to be a very big official in the future." An An stretched her head to the side of the cab and whispered in Xia Jiusheng's ear.

"Well, An An, come on." Xia Jiusheng turned sideways, put his face close to his brother, gave him a big smile, and encouraged him: "When An An becomes a high-ranking official, I will rely on you to take care of my brother."

"Well. I will take care of my brother." An An said solemnly.

"Then you don't care about mom and dad—" Mother Xia patted An An on the shoulder and asked sadly.

Children of this age in other people's families are closest to their mothers, but her youngest son, for some reason, only kisses his elder brother.

"I'll take care of you too." An An glanced at her parents, thought carefully for a while, and nodded.

"Yangyang, you said that your second uncle was suddenly promoted, what's going on?" Mama Xia knew that her second brother was actually an honest person, and would not try to gain ties with the people above him, nor would he win people's hearts.Normally, he just concentrates on doing well the things assigned by his superiors. It is difficult for such a person to keep his position, let alone get promoted.

In the village committee elections in recent years, many village cadres have been elected. On the contrary, some young people who have worked in other places, are quick-witted, and good at building relationships with villagers have been elected. If the second brother is not promoted this time The deputy mayor is likely to be voted out in the next village committee election.

"I don't know either." Xia Jiusheng replied hesitantly.

In fact, he is more than [-]% sure that Zhao Zezhong is helping in this matter, but he is very contradictory now. The relationship with Zhao Zezhong has reached this point, and it is inevitable that he will become cold.If the family knew that Zhao Zezhong had helped them, they would definitely have to call him by themselves. He is unwilling to contact Zhao Zezhong now.

"Could it be Xiao Zhao's help?" Zhao Zezhong was able to pick up his son directly from the police station. Without a backstage, it was impossible. Xia's mother had already determined that Zhao Zezhong's identity was extraordinary, so she also suspected that it was his help.

"It should be Xiao Zhao." Seeing that his son didn't answer, Xia's father said from the side.

After a pause, Xia's father said again: "It's almost Chinese New Year, this year, when preparing New Year's goods for relatives, prepare a copy for Xiao Zhao, thank him very much."

"A family like Xiao Zhao's will be rare for our things?" Mama Xia gave Papa Xia a blank look and asked with little confidence.

"Is there something wrong with my house?" Papa Xia said unconvinced. "Look at the vegetables Yangyang grows and the fish he raises. Didn't Xiao Zhao really enjoy eating them? Let me tell you, there's nothing wrong with serving the state banquet with my family's food—"

"Your son is the most capable, okay!" Mother Xia gave Father Xia a hard look, and couldn't help laughing.

"Brother is the most powerful—" An An shouted excitedly on the side.

At night, when his younger brother fell asleep, Xia Jiusheng entered the space again.

After discovering that wine has so many benefits, he took it seriously and decided to grow more fruits that can be used to make wine in the future.Of course, he has now planted medicinal materials such as wolfberry and ginseng. If they are used to make wine, the effect must be good.

He also found that the things in the space, except for the family to eat, really cannot be directly given to outsiders.

Not only the appearance, but also the taste, which is very different from the ordinary vegetables outside.

It seems to have to learn some processing methods.

For example, vegetables and fruits, if cucumbers are made into pickled cucumbers, cabbage is made into pickled cabbage, beans are dried into tofu, and tomatoes are made into ketchup, these problems can be easily solved.

Most people will regard the taste of processed dishes as the good use of seasonings, but will ignore the deliciousness of the dishes themselves.

So he planned to buy a few large vats and pickle jars when he was free, and pickle the vegetables that could not be eaten up in space.

The fish in the river still grow very fast, even if the family eats it every day, they still cannot finish it.The hens were laying eggs every day, and there were not many roosters left, only about 30 left, but Xia Jiusheng wondered why these hens did not want to hatch chicks after laying so many eggs.

At this time, it is very difficult to buy chickens. If there are more than 140 hens in the space, one-tenth of the brood nests, each with more than 20 eggs, will have about [-] chicks.

Forget it, maybe the time hasn't come yet, maybe it will be a nest in a few days?Xia Jiusheng comforted himself.

The dogs and cats saw him and ran towards him again.Because they have been kept in the space, it is not very useful to him, and he really has very little time to accompany them.On the contrary, the Tibetan mastiff had grown to his chest, and its fluffy body rubbed against him. If it met someone with a weaker body, it might not even be able to stand up.

After making out with them for a while, he waved his hand and told them to play.They all understood what he meant now, and left slowly one by one.

It would be great if you have a big house in your home, then you can take them out of the space and put them in the yard.
