country small landowner

The rooster just crowed, and everyone in Daliushu Village got busy.The men brought a piece of pancakes and went down to the ground early with their hoes on their shoulders, while the brothers had to cook breakfast and feed the chickens and pigs. They promised that the family would be panting, and then they went into their own garden to promise that they would not be panting. .

This season is when the crops are growing. Farmers have to weed the fields, and if there are heavy crops, they need to thin the seedlings.This year looks good. There were several heavy snowfalls in winter, and two rains after planting in spring, which completely soaked the land.

I just hope that there will be a few more moderate rains this summer, and I will thank God if I catch it in a drought.

Qi Bao slept until after nine o'clock, and all the men who went to the ground had already returned, enjoying the washing of the gentle river water and the attentive service of his brothers.

After washing up, Grandma Zhou served him with a few pieces of pastries and drank another bowl of goat milk, before Qi Bao sighed contentedly.

In his previous life, Qi Bao was also a master who liked to eat, but he had a physique of nothing.Fortunately, my physique has changed in this life. Although I still don't gain muscle, fortunately, I still gain fat.Chubby, looking at himself in the mirror, Qi Bao likes his body very much.In the words of Grandma Zhou, if you are rich, you are a blessed person at first glance, but it is much more beautiful than that white chicken.

The so-called woman is the face of the one who pleases himself, and the scholar dies for the confidant. Although he is not a woman, there is really no woman who allows him to maintain his body shape. He is so chubby, but he is comfortable.At the very least, after sitting on the stool for a long time, I won't feel flustered.

"Master," Qi Bao tidied things up before Zhou Tao came back to report the affairs, "The village is coming, and it is said that there is enough rain this year, and the hazelnut mushrooms on the mountain have already bloomed, so I asked if they can enter our mountain this year? "

Qi Bao narrowed his small eyes, and hummed twice, "Okay, go if you want, it's a big mountain, just don't touch our fruit trees. It happens to be able to trample Artemisia or something, so we can save our family picking fruit." This year is a good year, and the wormwood on the mountain is too high. I am afraid that there are many snakes. Let Lizheng tell the villagers to pay attention. Let's let them enter the mountain with good intentions, and stop being bitten by snakes. It’s not pretty anymore.”

Zhou Tao nodded and said yes, the young master of his family can't help nagging every time.Although the words are deadly, everyone knows that he is the most soft-hearted.

"The ones who go up the mountain still ask them to deliver the mountain goods?"

"If there are hazelnuts and hazel mushrooms, let's save some, so we can save the stewed chicken for eating, and we don't need anything else." Qi Bao thought for a while, and then said, "See if it's hard to sell this year. If you can't sell it, just follow the Titti, the restaurant in the county, if they accept it, they can come to our house."

Zhou Tao smiled, and then thought of something again, hesitatingly said: "Master, that family is here again."

Qi Bao frowned, "What happened to his family?"

"The Tao family cried and said that our family was sorry for his family. In the first few years when there was a wife, he knew how to help the family. In these years, only the young master is left. That's really over-the-top, and I forgot that there is a poor man." Uncle's house. My own size..."

"My stomach is full of fat, but I don't care that my two nephews are about to starve to death, don't I?" Seeing Zhou Tao mumbling, he didn't dare to continue, so Qi Bao went on to add.It used to be this set of words, but it was about Qi Bao's grandma, Tao Qiu. His grandma was soft-hearted and kind, and she was the one who helped others count the money after being sold. Qi Bao was not such a person.

Not to mention that the Tao family had to sell their own brother to Wu Liangcai for a few bucks, not to mention that Qi Bao's father pitied Tao Qiu for marrying him as a sequel, and not to mention that after Tao Qiu entered the Qi family, The Tao family was hit by the autumn wind every three days.

Simply speaking, when Tao Qiu left, the Tao family was afraid of spending so much money on gifts, but no one came to the door, which was enough to make Qi Bao hate them so much.It has only been quiet for a few years, and now he still dares to come to the door, does he really think that Qi Bao is so easy to handle with his brother?

It's not that the Tao family didn't want to come. When the elder brother died, the Tao family was afraid that Qi Bao and his father, Qi Jin, would feel in a panic and ask his family for the original betrothal gift, so they didn't dare to come.In addition, the elder brother in the family died, and there was no way to play Qiufeng in the future, so I didn't come to the door.

Later, Master Qi also died, and the Tao family remembered that their elder brother had laid a golden egg anyway.However, in the first few years, their own family did not handle things properly, and the Tao family didn't have the nerve to come directly to the door.Later, I thought, Qi Bao only had one eldest brother, but he didn't know where he died, and there was only a family of old servants surnamed Zhou, so it was not something they could pinch.

Qi Bao only had his uncle's family to rely on. If the Qi family came to bully him, his uncle's family would not be allowed to stand out.As long as Qi Bao finds his family, the Qi family will be in the hands of the Tao family from now on.It's just that he didn't expect that this Qi Bao was so capable, he dismissed the members of the Qi family with a few words, and even held all the property of the Qi family in his hands.

The wishful thinking came to nothing, but the Tao family would not let it go like this.After all, Qi Bao has the blood of their Tao family, and he is young, so it must be very unpredictable.Unexpectedly, they hit a wall twice when they came here, and this time the Tao family began to talk unscrupulously again.

But Qi Bao is not afraid of him, in terms of age, these two are more than one round older than him, they are still elders, so it is lucky that they are able to catch his own nephew.It happened that Lizheng was also here, so this matter really needs to be discussed.

He's not afraid of them taking advantage, but no one can stand being disgusted like this all the time.

"Master, that family is just like that, a bunch of unfamiliar wolf cubs." After all, it's Uncle Qi Bao's house, Zhou Tao can't say anything too harsh, "But it's my uncle's house, and it's not easy to make it too ugly. .”

Qi Bao smiled, "It's because you are so talkative that his family is so smug. Don't worry about them, let them make a fuss. Taozi, go and invite Lizheng here, and say, young master, I got this year's new tea. Give him a drink."

Zhou Tao knew his young master best. Although he was black-mouthed and soft-hearted, he could do anything when he was really willing.Otherwise, how could the family property of the Qi family be preserved from those wolves and tigers in the Qi family.

The Qi family doesn't say that they have a big family and a great business, but in this small mountain village, they can be said to be one of the best.In addition, there are rumors outside that the boss of the Qi family has been fighting the world with the first emperor for several years, so now he is a high-ranking official in the capital.When their county magistrate saw him, he would have to kowtow three times and bow nine times, let alone their white bodies.

Although it was just a rumor and not necessarily credible, no one dared to really mess with the Qi family.What's more, the second son of his family, who looks at him with a smile on weekdays, is definitely a quiet person. A family as big as the Qi family didn't get any advantage from him.

Qi Bao bought all the nearby mountains and planted nothing but fruit trees.All kinds of fruits that were produced that year, it would take more than half a month to pick all the people in the village. Every family in the village has eaten his fruits, and Qi Bao is not a stingy person.

So many fruits are pulled by a horse-drawn cart, and they are pulled for three miles.They don't know where they got so many fruits, even if a catty of copper coins is worth several hundred taels of silver.Silver, they have never seen silver in this rural area, they are all just copper plates hanging one by one.

This second child of the Qi family is by no means a simple one.But fortunately, he is young, so he is easy to talk, and he respects himself very much here. Most importantly, he can also lead the people in the village to make some money, and no one in the village will say hello.

"This is a new tea that my friend in the south received this year. Although it is not worth a lot of money, it is mainly a kindness. It happened that Lizheng came here, so I happened to try it too. I don't know much about tea. I only know that the tea is fragrant and elegant. , I feel peaceful after drinking it, and it’s the best way to get rid of fire and dryness.”

Lizheng is just a villager, and the farthest place he has been to is the county. Qi Baokou's friends in the south may not be close.

As the old saying goes, ordinary people cannot live without small seven items, such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea.Here, only this tea is precious, how can ordinary people be willing to spend money to drink this stuff.Lizheng took a sip of Xibabala's tea, and then praised: "You can say that tea is a good thing, and only Zhang Xiucai's family has tea in our place. We ordinary people, no one can afford it."

Smash it, smash it, "Even Zhang Xiucai's house, it's all old tea." New tea is too expensive, old tea is still relatively cheap, and even Xiucai's family can afford it.

Seeing that Lizheng liked it, Qi Bao told Zhou Tao, "Go and give Lizheng two taels of tea bags I got."

Li Zheng hurriedly declined and said: "No, no, we farmers don't need to drink this precious thing." Even so, I still want it in my heart, and it's very decent to take it out to entertain guests.

Zhou Tao had already packed tea and put it on the table in front of him, "Don't be polite to my young master, Mr. Wang, he got it for nothing. As you always said, how can our farmers understand this? It’s also good for you to take it to entertain guests.”

Lizheng heard him say this, so he couldn't refuse anymore, "The little old man thanked the second young master."

Qi Bao said with a smile: "Li Zheng is always so polite, it makes me, a junior, blush."

The two talked for a while, and Lizheng mentioned the matter of going to the mountains this summer, Qi Bao agreed indifferently.He also said: "every year, people in the village go to the mountains to pick up goods from the mountains. As long as they don't touch the fruit trees, don't tell me. It will save you a lot of trouble."

Li Zheng smiled and said: "Your family spent money to buy these mountains. We don't know how to thank you for allowing us to chop firewood in winter. Now is the time to grow fruit, what's the matter?" It's time to say hello, or else I can't just say it."

While the two were talking, they heard the sound of cursing approaching, causing Li Zheng to look sideways a few times.

Qi Bao frowned and said coldly: "Whose family is this? Why are you so unruly? Didn't you see that Zheng was talking to Li Zheng? You are so ignorant." Then he smiled apologetically at Li Zheng, "I'm really sorry. Can't help it, there are a lot of weird things going on at home every day, let's talk and ask Taozi to go and have a look."

"It's common for such a big family to have a lot of things. I shouldn't say this. The Qi family has a big business, and it's not in the same village as us. Last time they came to me, it was hard to talk. But your grandma Don’t you have two uncles in your family, even though they don’t handle things properly, they are in-laws after all, you should always rely on them so that no one will bully you when you are young.”

The Tao family's affairs are really outrageous, but he is Li Zheng after all, so he can't get too used to other people's family affairs.It's just that they all live in the same village, and the Qi family can't live in a single house without interacting with others.The Qi family is staring at them. If Qi Bao decides for them, I am afraid that there will be nothing left of such a big business as the Qi family.After all, the Tao family is from their own village, so they still face their own village.

Qi Bao smiled slightly, "If you want to say that the Tao family is my own uncle's family, even though I haven't had much contact with them these years, I still think about it after all. It's just that I belong to a child's family. If I have frequent contacts with them, I know it We have a good relationship, I don't know, maybe the Tao family has taken a fancy to the Qi family's property, and it's not good to hear it. I have to give my poor grandma some face."

Just as Li was about to say something, he saw Zhou Tao leading a few people over here. After looking at the people carefully, he couldn't speak anymore.
