Relocated to ancient farming

Maisui Village, the village where Ling Feng was born and raised, is quite a remote small village. It takes an hour, or two hours, to walk to the county. Sit and walk.

The reason why the name of the village is not the common names of the surrounding Wangjia Village and Lijia Village is that Maisui Village is a village with mixed surnames, and there are more than a dozen surnames in one village. The advantage is that there is no such thing as a clan.

Jian Ming and Ling Feng sat on the ox cart, staggering towards the village. The driver was a good talker, and Jian Ming could chat with any kind of person, and the two chatted happily along the way. .

In the distance, there is a flat field, and the green wheat is full of vitality.

In the creek, there are a few ducks swimming leisurely, occasionally sticking their beaks into the water, wondering if they are catching small fish to eat.

In the bamboo forest, two big red-crested roosters were pecking at each other, showing off their majesty in front of the hen, but the hen next to him was obviously more interested in the bugs in the ground and didn't even look at them.

Behind the vast green sea, you can see a village with thatched huts half hidden behind tall trees.

Half embracing the village are continuous mountains, shrouded in hazy smog, and the peak cannot be seen.

leisurely.

Along the way, people who went to and from the fields, and children herding cattle stopped their work one after another, and stared at Jian Ming.

No wonder they watch it.

Jian Ming's short hair and modern clothing turn heads here [-]%.

Jian Ming didn't feel uncomfortable at all, she let others look at her openly, while chatting with the uncle who was driving the car.

"Not far from here is the place where you will build the village." The uncle driving the car pointed to the right direction of the village.

Of course, you are not referring to Jian Ming and Ling Feng, but fellow travelers.

"This land is adjacent to the four surrounding villages, and the area is not large. After your new village is built, it is estimated that all four villages can be connected."

Jian Ming heard the county magistrate tell them where the homestead was allotted to them, but he was not familiar with it, and he didn't remember it. Anyway, someone took them there directly, and he didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.

"What is the population of the four neighboring villages?"

"They are all big villages, and each village has a population of more than 1000, so they are poor." The uncle driving the car couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

As soon as Ling Feng turned his head, he saw that Jian Ming was thoughtful, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Uncle, are you free? Can you take us to the county again later?"

"If you are free, you are free, but it is already noon, and you will have to go back to the county in the dark."

"I have something urgent to do, can I go to you later?"

"Okay, Fengzi knows where my home is, and Fengzi will bring you here later."

"Okay, thank you, uncle."

"it's okay no problem."

"Do you have anything else to do?" Ling Feng asked.

"Well, I've thought of a good way to make money. As for what method? I'll keep it a secret for now." Seeing Boss Ling Feng's fierce face, Jian Ming couldn't help teasing him.

"En." Ling Feng nodded, without any curiosity at all.

Jane Ming: "..."

"Get out of the car, we're here." Ling Feng jumped out of the car first, reaching out to help him, Jian Ming pushed his hand away, and jumped down neatly, she was not a pampered young lady, she needed to be supported in the next car.

What was in front of them was a thatched mud brick house, square and well cleaned. When they got up, Ling Feng's family was having lunch.

The Ling family has a large population, with a total of more than a dozen people. The round table in the center of the room cannot accommodate so many people. A few children sit at the door with small benches.

Unlike many modern children who need their parents to chase and feed them and refuse to take a bite for a long time, several children put their rice bowls on their knees and hold them with one hand. They eat very deliciously and cherish them without losing a single grain of rice.Seeing Ling Feng, he obediently and softly called Second Uncle or Second Uncle.

"Father." The two children put down their bowls, ran over, and stood in front of Ling Feng in a well-behaved manner, with happy faces but did not dare to go forward and hug the majestic father's thigh.

Ling Feng stepped forward, picked up a child in one hand, and walked steadily into the room.

Arm strength is strong enough.

Jian Ming stroked her chin, thinking.

The two children are already eight or nine years old, which is not light.

"Fengzi, why are you back now? Didn't you say you were paying for the meal? This is it?" An old woman stood up, probably Ling Feng's mother.

"His uncle, the deer should have sold for a good price in the morning, right?"

Before Ling Feng answered, a young woman interrupted.

Ling Feng said that besides his elder brother who died in battle, he also had two younger brothers and two younger sisters who were already married, so this should be one of the younger sisters-in-law.

The young woman looked at Ling Feng eagerly, and after he handed over the money to her mother-in-law, she cried to her mother-in-law to make clothes for the couple and their three children.Her father will celebrate his birthday in a few days, so it would be embarrassing to go back in shabby clothes.

And the three people next to him who were also waiting for Ling Feng to take out the money should be the two younger brothers and the remaining sister-in-law.

"The money is the dowry."

Ling Feng simply replied, then ignored the young woman, and said to Ling's father and mother.

"Father, mother, this is my Qidi." Here, when a man and a man get married, they are called Qidi, the older one is called Qixiong, and the younger one is called Qidi.

"Qidi!" The old couple exclaimed in shock.

Ling Feng turned his head and introduced to Jian Ming.

"This is father, mother, third brother..."

"That stag is so big, and it's alive, at least ten taels. Which family will pay so much money for making a contract!"

The young woman looked as if someone had robbed her of her money.

In other words, in her mind, she just robbed her money.

Normally, she was quite afraid of Ling Feng, and she would never dare to interrupt him, but after Ling Feng had been back for such a long time, his face was fierce, and he had never seen him lose his temper or make a move. Once stimulated by money, I did things I would not dare to do.

"Enough!" Before Ling Feng could respond, Father Ling slapped the dining table violently, causing the plates and bowls on the table to shake. "That's Fengzi's own prey, his own money, he can spend it as he wants!"

The young woman, Lin Hua, Ling Feng's third sister-in-law, was taken aback. She had never seen her father-in-law get so angry since she got married.

Obviously, all the money Ling Feng earned from hunting before was handed over to the public office, and everyone spent it together.

"Whether there is a family separation, how can I hide my private house, and what I said is wrong, it is obvious that the bride price in the village is only..." Lin Huaxin muttered unwillingly.

"Shut up!" Father Ling became even more furious, and slapped the table three times. His eyes swept over the two younger sons. They all looked disapproving, but they dared not speak out because of his anger.

It's really lively, he, the Qidi who hasn't even held the ceremony, is quite an eyesore standing in the room.

Jian Ming quietly moved to the door, obediently being the crowd.

Father Ling just felt tired. He owed his second son a lot, especially after the second son came back from the battlefield with injuries all over his body. do everything.

But his second son is right-minded, courageous, and capable. After returning, he started to be a hunter. He can bring back a lot of prey when he goes up the mountain, which will benefit his family. He doesn’t need his help at all. Family wealth can also live well.

Every time Ling Feng sold his prey, he would hand over the money. The old couple originally wanted to save the money for him, and hand it over to his wife after he married his wife.

But the family has few fields, and the harvest is not much, and they can barely make ends meet. After several grandchildren and grandsons landed, the family is more and more stretched.When the youngest grandson was sick, the old couple couldn't help but use the money they saved for Ling Feng, and then it got out of hand.

After all, the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat!

I don't know when the two sons and daughter-in-law took this kind of thing for granted.

"Fengzi, your third sister-in-law is a no-brainer, you..." Ling's father remained friendly as usual.

"Father, let's split up." Ling Feng still had that stern face, and he couldn't tell what was going on in his heart.

"Fengzi, you also know that they have such virtues. Later, father will teach them a lesson, so there is no need to make trouble."

"Father, that's enough."

He didn't care that his parents used his money to subsidize his two younger brothers, but he would never drag his other half to fill this hole.

"Fengzi, this..." Ling's mother wanted to persuade her again, but since the incident of getting married, the second son's handling of things has become even tougher, unless he doesn't say anything and does what he says, no one can persuade him.

The atmosphere suddenly froze.

"Let's make the dowry higher. The family has something to discuss." Lin Hua couldn't help but said, her voice getting lower and lower. The other three also looked at Ling's father expectantly, hoping that he could make Ling Feng change. idea.

Without Ling Feng, how could their life be so nourishing.

"Let's divide, it's time to divide. I'll ask the village chief to come over." Father Ling sighed, walked out in a daze, and almost tripped over a chair.

At the moment, Ling's mother has no one to ask Ling Feng's thoughts about marriage.

Looking to the side, Ling Feng's so-called Qidi was leaning in the corner by the door with a calm expression, watching the farce in the room, not at all cautious and obedient as the "new wife" came in, and he was even more blocked for a while.
