My Favorite Manly Husband

Chapter 18 Visiting the Village Chief

"Is this possible?" Gu Changfeng hesitated.He wasn't afraid that he couldn't do well, but that he was an ugly pair bought back for joy, and it was enough for his husband to let him be in charge of the family's money.Now he has to hang the restaurant under his name, this...

"Why not?" Shen Yanbei said as a matter of course, "We are one husband and wife, mine is yours, and even if it is found out, it will be nice to say it!"

"I gave this to my daughter-in-law. Others will only say that I love my daughter-in-law, not that I compete with the people for profit." When daughters or twins of rich families get married, they will marry some Zhuangzi shop or something. It's no problem for my daughter-in-law to buy a restaurant!

Gu Changfeng didn't think of this level, but after thinking about it, he also felt that this was the reason.But there seems to be something wrong?

"That's it. Let's find a time to talk to Brother Laifu." Whether the restaurant can be opened smoothly depends on finding a trustworthy chef, and he intends to find Shen Laifu.In the original owner's memory, Shen Laifu was a simple and honest fat man, and he knew if he was really simple and honest.

After discussing the opening of the restaurant, Shen Yanbei planned to go to the village head's house to have a sit down.It's not easy to come to the door empty-handed if you want to ask for help. Just in the morning, I bought some snacks in the county seat. Shen Yanbei greeted Gu Changfeng and took two copies to the village chief's house.The village head's family has two grandsons who are naughty at the age when they go up trees, dig out birds' eggs and fish in the water, so they just satisfy their greed.

Seeing Shen Yanbei coming to the door, the village chief Shen Dezhong was very surprised, and quickly asked his wife to serve tea.Farmers generally don't drink tea, but as the village head, Shen Dezhong still has a set of tea sets and some... tea foam at home.

In this era, tea is a precious thing, and farmers can't afford it at all, so they can only buy the worst kind of tea foam.And being able to drink the tea foamed from the tea leaves is the treatment only honored guests will have.

It seems that the village chief really values ​​him as the only scholar in the village!

Shen Yanbei quickly waved his hand: "Auntie, you don't need to be so polite, I just came to talk to Uncle Zhong about spring plowing."

The people with the surname Shen in the village are all relatives, so calling Shen Dezhong "Uncle Loyalty" is not an exaggeration.But this call of Uncle Zhong stunned Shen Dezhong's wife, Shen Liushi, and Shen Dezhong.

It is true that the original owner was too high-sighted in the past, and was very indifferent even to the elders.

"This is for my two nephews." Shen Yanbei handed two snacks to Shen Liushi.

"This...how did this happen?" Shen Liushi put down the brewed tea and rubbed his hands, not knowing whether he should take it or not.

"It's just some worthless snacks to satisfy the child's hunger." Shen Yanbei smiled slightly, and took a sip of tea from the thick porcelain cup.The tea had a bitter taste, but Shen Yanbei swallowed it without changing his expression.

Shen Dezhong winked at his daughter-in-law, Shen Liushi thanked her and then retreated.

"Come over here, don't spend money next time." Master Xiucai took the initiative to make friends with him, Shen Dezhong was very happy.

Shen Yanbei smiled, put down the teacup, and said straight to the point: "My land has been taken back this year, and I plan to plant some rice. But there are no rice seeds at home, and I don't know how to raise seedlings. I want to buy some from the villagers, but I don't know which one has more..." He has no problem doing farm work, but the original owner knows nothing, so he can't go to farm in a big way.

"It's a trivial matter, I'll go and ask you about it." Shen Dezhong replied straight away.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhong!" Shen Yanbei said gratefully.The original owner's contemptuous temperament almost offended the whole village, and he went to the villagers rashly, fearing that he would not get good seedlings.The hope of the farmer for a year is on these seedlings. He doesn't want to work hard but get nothing in return.

Shen Dezhong smiled kindly: "There is nothing to thank for this. Everyone is from Shenjia Village. If you call me Uncle Zhong, I can't help you." Whether as an elder or as a village head, Shen Dezhong I really hope that Shen Yanbei will live well.

Thinking of the situation of Shen Yanbei's family, Shen Dezhong was a little worried: "Your family's land has been taken back, but your family is just the two of you, how can you grow this land?"

"This is another thing I want to bother Uncle Zhong." Shen Yanbei smiled embarrassedly, "I can't carry things on my shoulders, I can't work in the fields, and I don't want my husband to work too hard, Uncle Zhong, can you help me hire some people?"

"It's okay to hire people, how do you calculate the wages?" In the past two years, many of their villages have been settled by people who escaped from the famine in the north. Others work.During the busy farming season, if the family does not have enough staff, they will find those crop handles to help them cultivate the land.

Shen Yanbei asked about the price, and then said: "Uncle Lao Zhong find me two or three honest and hardworking ones, and they will provide me with a meal for the same salary, so that I can take care of myself!" In this world, hiring people to farm land has never cared about food, and being hired People who live here will bring dry food to eat, but the original owner's reputation was not very good before. Fortunately, he is not short of these few meters, so he should be generous and let the other party remember his kindness, and come back to harvest rice next time.We maintain a long-term cooperative relationship!

"That's fine!" It's a good job to work for the scholar master, let alone take care of the food.

"I have one more thing to ask Uncle Zhong. I want my husband to be naturalized and settle down. I don't know what the regulations are for this naturalization?" The original owner bought his daughter-in-law back and used it as a servant, and did not naturalize his daughter-in-law at all.If he wanted to put the restaurant under his daughter-in-law's name, he had to solve the slavery issue of his daughter-in-law first.

He learned from the memory of the original owner that the household registration management is relatively strict these days, and it is not easy for a slave to get out of his registration and become a good citizen.

Shen Dezhong was a little surprised: "You want to eliminate his slavery?"

"He is my husband, the one who wants to spend the rest of my life with me, how can he be a slave all the time?"

Shen Yanbei spoke seriously, but Shen Dezhong didn't take it seriously: "He is your person, if you become pregnant in the future, you can register with your household registration after the child is born, there is really no need to waste money to change the household registration."

Shen Yanbei understood his thoughts.

Because his wife's appearance does not conform to the public's aesthetics, and the pregnancy mole, which symbolizes the fertility, is darker than the other twins. If his wife can't bear children, he will definitely marry someone else for the sake of heirs.When the newcomer enters the door, his wife is a bought servant, and as the master, he can do whatever he likes.Therefore, the village head did not approve of him releasing his daughter-in-law from slavery.

But he turned a corner. He didn't think that he would have a queen. The village chief's worry was not in his consideration.

"Uncle Zhong, just tell me how to do it."

Shen Dezhong had no choice but to say: "Household registration is registered every three years. The head of each village needs to register the new population in the village and report it to the head of the village. The head of the village reports the statistics to the county. The county then reports to the prefecture. The Ministry counts the population, and at the same time checks the taxes paid by the states..."

"Those who escape from slavery need to make up for the taxes they owed before, and they have to find a family to become naturalized."

Shen Yanbei understood that his wife's temporary household registration was gone, and she had to find an accepting unit to register.

Money is not a problem, let alone where the account is located!

"I will pay the taxes for him, and as for finding a naturalized family, it can be done directly at my house." His daughter-in-law naturally has to stay on the same household registration booklet with him!

Seeing Shen Yanbei's straightforwardness, Shen Dezhong was a little helpless: "Although you are a scholar, your husband's background is unknown, so I'm afraid I'll spend some money to clear it up..."

Shen Yanbei didn't even frown, and said directly: "It's natural!" Money can turn ghosts around, and things that can be solved with money are nothing!

"All right, I'll run for you!"

"Thank you Uncle Zhong!" Shen Yanbei said gratefully.

"It's nothing, I have to run anyway." Shen Dezhong took a sip of tea, looked at the humble and polite young man with a smile on his lips, hesitated for a while and asked: "That Shen Yan, you have been awarded the title of scholar for several years , have you thought about continuing your studies?"

"You mean?"

"The year after next is the year of the imperial examination. Do you want to take part in this autumn?" Shen Dezhong asked tentatively, full of anticipation in his heart.It was not easy for the village to produce a scholar, but there are masters in other villages!As for that Li family village, relying on their village to have a juren, the villagers look at the sky with their nostrils up, and they are old and domineering!If there is also a Juren master in their village, they will have to get their face back!

Shen Yanbei was slightly taken aback, he hadn't thought about it at all.He lowered his eyes and said: "My parents are not here, my heart is not calm, I..." The original owner's parents passed away suddenly, and the original owner was exhausted by the trivial matters of life, how could he care about reading?

But the matter of Qiu Wei..., thinking of the class division of this dynasty and the treatment of people with fame and fame, Shen Yanbei felt that this matter could be thought about.

Shen Dezhong patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Those are all in the past, and now you have a family again, and you have a husband to take care of the house, you might as well think about it." After finishing speaking, he said seriously: "If you have any difficulties, just come to me Uncle Zhong will find a solution for you!"

"Then thank you Uncle Zhong, I will have to trouble you in the future!" Shen Yanbei thanked him sincerely.The village head is really a good elder. When the original owner was seriously ill, he was the one who asked the villagers to be more forgiving and take care of the original owner. It was also he who suggested that the original owner marry a husband to celebrate the joy.

So, the village head is still the matchmaker for him and his wife?

Coming out of the village chief's house, Shen Yanbei felt a lot relieved.

To solve the problem of seedlings and manpower, other things have to be prepared.

The family has not cultivated the land for many years, and the farm tools have to be dug out for repairs. He has not seen the returned land, so he has to go and have a look and sort out the land.In addition to growing rice, he also has six acres of dry land. He plans to plant other things, such as corn or sweet potatoes and peanuts, which don't need to take too much care...

In addition, the home has to be cleaned up to make room for new furniture.If he wants to take the imperial examination, he needs to rearrange his study so that he can read and write...

There are still many things to do!

Shen Yanbei walked home with a relaxed pace, and the people in the village who had good friends with Shen's father and Shen's mother all smiled and nodded.There's no way, he doesn't have any serious elders in his family, so he will have to ask the villagers to take care of him in the future.

Before he got home, he saw a half-sized man squatting outside the fence of his house with a grass in his mouth from a distance.
