struggle in ancient times

"Indeed, I'm back, you should go and visit." Liao Ming said.

"Big guys, don't join in the fun, let's share the things first. These things are not too expensive, but just a wish from our family. I hope you don't dislike them." Liao Ming opened the car trunk with a smile and said.

Inside the compartment are stacked boxes one after another. When the boxes are opened, there are leg of lamb and wool products.

Because of the shortage and unevenness, Liao Tingyu calculated the approximate number of people when he left and got a little more, but this goat milk powder is a scarce item, so it is impossible to distribute it to every household and can only be replaced by other things .

The village chief looked at these things and feared that he would not be able to take them down for decades. Sure enough, it was unusual for him to be an official.

"I'm afraid these things will cost a lot of money?" said the village head.

"Sheep are still a rare commodity in our area, but they are similar to chickens and ducks here. It is not too rare, but the production of foreign milk powder is too small, so there is no way to share too much with everyone." Liao Ming explained.

"It turns out that the goat milk powder is made from you. You don't need to tell me that I know it's rare. I remember that I bought it from the family where I went to work part-time. It was hard to come by when I was forty. But I only got such a catty. I heard from the housekeeper that it cost ten taels of silver for such a catty." Liao Tao looked at the goat milk powder packed tightly in a jar, and said enviously.

"My God, it's so expensive. I only heard that the old ladies in the county can use these. I heard that drinking it is good for your health. I didn't expect this thing to be more expensive than ginseng." Others who knew a little bit were simply surprised Extremely.Such a small pot costs ten taels of silver, so how many taels of silver is it to send over so much!

Although Liao Ming said that he didn't bring many, but at a glance, there are probably twenty or thirty cans. How many taels does it cost?There are more than 100 households in their Liaojia Village.

And there are those wool products with bright patterns, which are very valuable at first glance, and each one is so big.

Some good women are very curious about how much money these blankets can sell for. After all, they have no hope for milk powder and the like, and they must be for the elderly and children.

But these blankets belong to one family, and if it is said to be a dowry before marriage or a dowry gift, it will be more face-saving.

"Brother Liao Ming, I've never seen these blankets in the county. Are they expensive for you? Look at how bright the colors are, and the pattern looks strange, but it's very beautiful." Cui Gu's eyes Almost stuck to the blanket, he asked with a smile.

"Yes, this thing is only about a hundred yuan a piece. It is very useful. It can be used as a quilt for children. It is very warm. It can be worn on the body when the weather is cold. It is not too big or heavy. "Liao Ming said.

"Liao Ming! How much wool does it take to sit on such a blanket? Are there a lot of sheep over there?" Liao Chang asked.

"Second Uncle, the sheep over there are different from our sheep. Their wool is very thick and curly, and they need someone to help cut them every year. Unlike our wool, which is long, if it is cut, it will Frozen to death."

"So that's how it is!" Liao Chang nodded, sure enough, the world is full of wonders.

The village head counted the number of people while they were talking, and found that there were still people who did not come.

And looking at the smiles on everyone's faces now, it is estimated that they have not finished talking.

"Okay everyone, listen to me that there are no seats here, let's sit over there, and let the children pay attention to those who haven't come back, let's go to the discussion place and talk slowly. "

"Yes, yes, I was almost squeezed to death. Everyone went over and said that the grandpa happened to live there too, so I stopped by to have a look. By the way, Brother Liao Ming, you haven't eaten since you came back? How about I let my wife Bake some biscuits."

"Yes, my husband can also cook, let him quarrel."

"If you want me to say, why don't you bring the big pot from our village and cook something from each household to eat together. To be honest, I haven't eaten that food for a long time. Now I think about it and I miss it. !” said the village chief’s wife.

Only then did Liao Ming and the others remember the pot. That pot helped many people in the village. Back when the entire county was in drought, there was no food in many places. Thanks to that pot, every household Only a little bit of food can survive.

It's a pity that the eldest brother who proposed this idea and contributed to this pot died of a cold accident.

"Okay, that's okay. It's still being preserved in the pond. Please take it out now. If we have something to sell, we will take out the bowl if we have extra bowls." The village head said to his wife, Very much in favor of this idea.

When going to get the pot, the village head and his wife got very close.

"I know what you want to ask, wait a minute, I'm more anxious than you about this matter." The village chief said in a voice that could be heard by two people.

"I really regret it now. If I had known that he would have achieved what he is now, why would I have done those things? I wish I could slap myself a few times." , don't bully young people to be poor.

It's all because of my dog's eyes that people are inferior, and I never thought that people would jump over the dragon's gate. I just hope that Liao Tingyu will not care about her bullying back then, and Deng Shi, she will completely forget about that small-bellied woman.

That night, the bonfire in Liaojia Village was lit in the middle of the night, singing and dancing.

Liao Ming delivered the things to everyone with his own hands.

Back at his familiar home, even though there was no familiar person around him, he fell asleep quickly.

On the other side, the village chief's family was staying up all night.

"Is Father really going to talk? What if Uncle Liao Ming disagrees?" Liao Qing lowered his head and whispered.

"Liao Ming is not that kind of person. They are brothers who grew up together. They went through together again. He will miss the past. Dad is not afraid of losing face. The only thing he wants is for you to have a way out." The village chief said.

"I'm sorry." Thousands of words condensed such a simple three words.

Liao Qing knew how much he wasted his parents' efforts. He studied earlier than Liao Tingyu. It can be said that Liao Tingyu was his enlightenment. But when Liao Tingyu was admitted to Tongsheng, he was already taking the fourth Tongsheng examination. When he was a scholar, he had lost his reputation for a long time.

Perhaps because he didn't want to admit the reality, he took the exam again, but unfortunately he still didn't succeed. Everyone, including his master, was persuading him, saying that he didn't have the talent, so he should teach and educate people in the school to make a living.

No one knew what kind of pain he felt in his heart. Liao Tingyu was introduced to the door by him, but he could only look up to him and accept his favor.

The school in the village was built by Liao Tingyu, and now he still has to rely on Liao Tingyu if he wants to develop his ambitions.

Why is the gap between people so big?

The village head looked at his son's distressed face, and patted his son on the shoulder. He could not feel or share his son's suffering. The only thing he could do was to give him strength so that he would not fall down when he stood up.

"You are my son. If I, as an old man, don't think about my son, then who will take care of you?"

Early the next morning, the village head found Liao Ming: "I woke up so early, I thought you would sleep a little longer?"

Liao Ming looked at the village head at the door and hurriedly invited him into the house.

"It's earlier than me, what's the matter? Is there something on your mind?" Liao Ming asked.

"Hey!" The village head said with a sigh, "You know, no matter how big my concern is, my son is the only one in my life. Old brother, you really need to help me."

"This..." Liao Ming hesitated. He was brought up by his own son. If he was alone, it might be...

Besides, the second kid is going to be assessed soon, and it doesn't matter if he is still in Lin County or not.

"Brother, let me tell you this, I can't decide this matter, and the second kid's term of office is coming soon, and the higher-ups will conduct an assessment. Whether he is still in Lin County is a problem. Otherwise, I will go back If you want to ask, I will write a book for you no matter if it is possible or not." Liao Ming thought for a while and said.

The village chief never thought that his brother would help him without hesitation.

"Thank you so much."

"What kind of words of thanks do we brothers say? It's a friendship of fishing in a river." Liao Ming said.

"To be honest, I'm afraid that you will remember what happened back then. It's because my daughter-in-law is ignorant." The village chief said in shame.

"It's normal for what happened back then. Besides, didn't you lend us a tael of silver later? Otherwise, you didn't have the money to buy the pen for the second boy. If you didn't have the money back then, how could there be my second son?" Boy's today."

"Wouldn't you have taken the money if you bowed your head like the old man back then? I'm just feeling guilty." The village chief shook his head and said he wasn't that great.

"Okay, okay, we don't want to do this anymore. I have a few bottles of wine here, made by my son. This kid has inherited his mother's craftsmanship, but it is much stronger than his mother's wine. Our brother Let's have a drink."

"Okay, then I've got your favor today, I'm here to taste the difference in the wine made by the grandpa of this county."

"Just make fun of me like that."

The two brothers just sat on the steps and drank one gulp after another. A passer-by saw them and helped them back home.

The village head's wife was still anxiously waiting for the news at the door, but this person went for two or three hours, which made her not in the mood for lunch.

Seeing someone helping her husband back, he hurried over to fetch him.

"Now let's talk about things, why are you so drunk?"

He quickly asked his daughter-in-law to cook a bowl of sober soup, poured it down, and then patted him awake.

"Wake up, old man, wake up, what's the matter? Don't sleep!"

The village chief opened his hazy eyes and saw his daughter-in-law's blurry face turn into one, two and three, knowing that he was drunk.

Trying to speak clearly, but it sounds vague: "His second son is going to be assessed, and he can't give us the answer now, so we need to ask his son again. We have to wait."

Getting this news meant that Liao Ming was willing to help, but he didn't know what would happen next.

well!The village head's daughter-in-law sighed, and then let the old man lie down and let him sleep by himself, looking out at the green mountains and green waters by himself.

If this matter is not settled, she will not be able to feel at ease.
