Hawkingshui's decision to fight against the elders of the village and his mother was actually well thought out.

When he took office, he left early. When he took office, he was still young, and the clan had strict rules. These clan elders already had a lot of coercion and voice in the hearts of the villagers, and he could not resist at all when he was young.

Without Lao Li Zheng's confrontation, these clan elders have become unscrupulous, as if they regard themselves as the boss of the village, relying on clan rules, etiquette and filial piety to crush him to death, rely on the old to sell the old, and interfere in the affairs of the village.

If there is no such thing as today, I am afraid that Hawking's 'harmony-oriented' character would still be endured, but who made these clan elders touch his bottom line.

To know that Huo Daniu was such a bad bastard in the past, he protected him. This proves the position of the second family of the Huo family in his heart. These old fools want to drive his eldest nephew away, can he not jump, clay figurine And three points of temper.

As for Mr. Dou and Huo Jinshui, he understood.

His mother is destined to have only the third brother in her life, not him and the second brother. If you keep kissing now, it will be his children and grandchildren who will drag the three houses into harm in the future. If that's the case, then it's better to give this nasty kiss now. It's good to be broken.

Huo Jinshui's attitude was so tough, and he even said threatening words. Mr. Dou didn't dare to make trouble any more. He beat snakes and seven inches, and the old lady also had weaknesses.

As for those clan elders, it's useless if they don't look good. The clan leader's words are also valid for the clan in the village. When it comes to the truth, it's up to Li Zheng to make decisions.

"Alright, alright, the wings have grown hard!"

After being refuted by the juniors over and over again, the old people in Liu Changqing's clan were so angry that their hearts were bruised, and they still had the mood to continue to watch the Huo family break off. Angrily, he left a sentence and left.

This time, Mr. Dou had no helper at all, so he could only write a letter of divorce from Huo Jinshui with a face full of unwillingness and press his fingerprints.

God knows how much blood dripped in her heart when she put on the handprint. The breakup was two relatives, and the fields that were taken away from the second family were also forced to vomit out by Hawking Shui. Today, I really lost my wife and broke the army. .

After this kiss was cut off, the old lady was in so much pain that her heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys were broken. She wanted to make trouble unwillingly. The champion next to her, who was coveting her, went up and shouted at her. Suddenly, all the courage was gone, and she hurriedly passed out Huo. The third child wakes up and slips away.

At this point, a smoky farce just ended.

The villagers who were watching the excitement also dispersed. When they went back, it was time to eat dinner, and those who should gossip continued to gossip.

Huo Chengyi originally wanted to go up and say thank you to Zhou Dahua, who just spoke righteously, but he actually said something to Zhou Weibai next to him, but in the end he was worried that there were too many people.

In the end, he could only smile at the little brother under Zhou Dahua's eyelids, then blinked with one eye, silently saying hello and expressing his thanks for the next meeting.

Zhou Weibai didn't know if he understood what he meant, but in the end, he blushed and bowed his head.

He also didn't think about a man who winked and smiled at an unmarried little brother, which made people think...

Huo Chengyi didn't have the self-consciousness that he had accidentally seduced other people's little brothers, and waited for the Zhou family's mother and son to disappear. In the crowd, they reluctantly took their eyes back and put them on business.

He didn't expect things to go so smoothly. He didn't say anything afterward, and Huo Jinshui finished what he wanted to do for him, and his affection for this Uncle Huo was rising.

However, he was still a little worried.

"Uncle, is your milk okay?"

Although the relationship is theoretically broken, it is the blood of the same clan family. This relationship is continuous. The old lady is also an old man.

"If your milk comes again, let her come to me. As for your third uncle, hmph, you just need to remember that he is not from our family."

Huo Jinshui knew what he meant, and mentioned Sanfang and his mother The anger in his heart couldn't go away for a long time, and he snorted coldly.

The words are simple, but Huo Chengyi has deep meaning no matter how he listens, but Huo Jinshui is unwilling to explain, and he doesn't need to go into it, as long as those few people don't come to cause him trouble.

Looking at Hawkingshui's face, he didn't say it lightly. He knew that this uncle took a lot of risks in doing this today, and his uncle's reputation will be stained in the future.

And offended the patriarch and the elders, Hawkingshui would be hindered from doing business in the village in the future, so he was still worried.

Seeing that he was so worried afterward, Huo Chengyi opened his mouth to comfort him.

"Uncle, today's matter is over, don't worry about it, you can talk to me if you are undecided, the three cobblers are Zhuge Liang. As for the patriarch and the others, you are the Lizheng of Huangxi Village. , I remembered the name in the government."

Huo Jinshui didn't know this truth, but: "The patriarch has a great voice in the clan."

"No matter how powerful the voice is, it is only useful if everyone listens. What about the patriarch and the clan elder? The villagers If you don't listen, you are still blind, as long as you benefit everyone, uncle, won't all the people in the village be on your side?"

"What good can I do for the village..."

Huo Jinshui shook his head and sighed, even though he was the leader of the village, But the power is very small, except for breaking some trivial matters in the village, it has no big effect.

However, in Huo Chengyi's view, Huo Dabury's identity is very useful. Take today's events. If Huo Jinshui is not Lizheng, those clan elders must not stop so easily. The village has stayed till now.

The few old fools in the clan are just a bunch of moths, and these people will definitely cause him trouble in the future. Uncle Huo's role will be very obvious at that time.

As for who the villagers support is not a problem at all. For the villagers, whoever can keep them fed and who can let them earn money, they will go with whoever they are, and they will never go against their own good days foolishly.

But Huo Chengyi kept these words in his heart and didn't say them. Saying such words and thoughts would scare Hawkingshui and impact the uncle's three views on life.

The uncle is not too young, and it is not easy to break the old man's half-life concept and reorganize the three views. He still makes it so that Hawkingshui can understand it for himself in the future.

"Anyway, I'm really in trouble. How can so many people in our family think of a way to deal with it. Uncle, please relax."

Huo Chengyi patted Huo Jinshui on the shoulder and said earnestly, looking more sophisticated than an old man who has lived for decades.

Hawkingshui was worried and didn't pay attention. Thinking about what he said, he was right, and he was in a better mood.

Then he explained and educated him a few words later, don't come up and do it in case of trouble, and be a civilized person, so he refused to let him go home with his hands behind his back if he kept dinner.

Huo Chengyi always agreed to this kind of education, but when Huo Jinshui left, he turned back to Huo Dashan's family, and the child with a swollen face, and immediately ordered:

"Big brother and sister-in-law, little loach, listen carefully. Well, the uncle just said that the third uncle and the others are not from our family. If they dare to come to our family in the future, don't talk nonsense, just shoot me out with a stick, and I will bear the wounds and maims. Don't be afraid. !"

"If it's Mrs. Dou, go to the door and shout. I'll give ten cents to anyone who takes that old lady away, once for every carry! There are so many people in the village who want to make money!"

Huo Chengyi said with great pride and passion.

As a loyal supporter of Duan Xiaopeng, he responded positively: "Uncle, promise to complete the task!"

Huo Dashan and Wang Xiuzhu's family opened their mouths, and his simple, rude and local tyrant's words completely shattered their outlook on life...

Look Huo The expressions of the Dashan couple, Huo Chengyi doesn't tangle too much about this three-view concept.

In short, this pair of eldest brother and sister-in-law are all listening to him, and they won't cause trouble for the time being. The two are still young, and their concepts will be assimilated by him after a long time together, so don't worry.

After tossing for so long, it was getting dark outside, and it was too late to cook. Fortunately, Huo Chengyi went shopping in the town in the afternoon and bought ready-made steamed buns and buns, which were hot and ready to eat.

At this time, Huo Dashan and Wang Xiuzhu also had the time to see what he bought. It doesn't matter, they are bleeding.

Forget about rice, white noodles, meat, etc. Anyway, it will be the autumn harvest in a few days. When the grain is harvested, you will have enough money on your hands. Now you can eat something good for your family, especially Wang Xiuzhu, a pregnant woman who needs tonic. Huo Dashan has no problem with this. .

But other cotton cloths, quilts, etc., as well as a large package of candied meat and snacks for children, these are simply waste!

If you want a quilt, you can buy some new cotton to refurbish the old quilt, and even more cotton cloth, buy two new clothes for the whole family to wear for the festival and the New Year, and usually wear linen.

Huo Chengyi bought enough cloth to make several sets of clothes for their family. It is said that he ordered a lot of furniture for tables, chairs, benches and cabinets in the town. He also invited a few masons to repair the house and add a fireplace.

Their blue-brick and solid-tile house is one of the best houses in the village. What else is there to repair? What kind of thing is that fireplace?

Huo Dashan was so worried when he saw his wasteful spending money, he felt that this younger brother was too poor to live, how could he save money to marry a daughter-in-law like this!

Huo Chengyi also said that there is no way to do this. It's not that he doesn't spend money when he has money, but these are all necessary.

He came here completely according to the most basic living requirements of modern people. Rice noodles are a must, and the linen here is really linen, which is rougher than modern linen and must be replaced with cotton clothes.

Now these are his minimum requirements, not to mention snacks. No one can suffer from children. Haven't seen the two children in the family staring at the snacks and their eyes are shining.

In fact, he still has a part of the big money that he has not disclosed, that is, the rations he bought for his champion, the dozens of pounds of meat and bones.

The price of meat is expensive here. If Huo Dashan knew that he was so extravagant to keep a dog, he might have driven the champion out of his family while he was away. I believe the villagers here can definitely do it...

"Da Niu, When your sister-in-law is born, let your sister-in-law help you to see a daughter-in-law."

Huo Dashan stared at the pile of meat for a long time, and finally stifled the sentence, a man who can't live must find a daughter-in-law who can live. Just take care.

"Okay, okay, I'll see who will let my sister-in-law tell me when the time comes."

Huo Chengyi looked at him and wanted to laugh. He didn't argue with him. He was afraid that his elder brother wouldn't be able to sleep if he talked too much.

Even if he didn't say it, Huo Dashan couldn't sleep with the things he bought today. He was lying on the bed with Wang Xiuzhu and whispered:

again, he was sighing that the Daniel had really improved, he knew he was taking care of his family, and he was worried about the Daniel again. What if you can't live and save money in the future?

Daughter-in-law, you have to pay attention to which girl and brother will live in the village, hurry up and tell Daniel... He doesn't even think about whether there is anyone in the village who is willing to marry his brother, the bully.

At the same time, Uncle Huo's family, Huo Jinshui, was lying on the bed and whispering to his wife.

However, unlike Huo Dashan, who was worried that his younger brother would not be able to live, Huo Jinshui and his mother-in-law were very excited about the divorce today.

It is accurate that Mrs. Xue, the wife of Hawking Shui, was very excited, and Hawking Shui was completely driven.

"Hey, head of the house, you really beat up your third brother today? You also cut off your mother's kiss? Why are you so stupid today? Did you take the wrong medicine?"

Xue Shi was excited and surprised. She headed the house . This person has always been reasonable and reasonable.

"I'm not thinking about you two girls, I've been thinking about this for a long time, but I haven't found a chance. When my father died, I explained it to me, but I just became Lizheng at that time. I have to worry about my reputation. But don't say, the third slap today, I had a good time, I wanted to slap him for my father..."

Huo Jinshui was infected by his daughter-in-law, and he couldn't fall asleep when he talked about his heroic deeds.

...

... On the night of the Huo family's divorce

, not only the Huo family did not fall asleep, but most of the people in the entire Huangxi Village did not fall asleep, and there was no entertainment in the village. Some people say good or bad, but invariably, both uncles and nephews Huo Chengyi and Huo Jinshui applauded the fact that the elders of the clan were angry.







But no matter what everyone talks about, in a word, breaking up the relationship is of great benefit to Huo Chengyi and others. It not only saves a lot of trouble in the future, but also brings back all the excuses that the old lady had to leave in the past.

There are a total of four acres of land, two acres each for the original owner and the child, which is not much, but after getting it back, it will be a bit of income. Huo Dashan is the happiest. In the eyes of the Zhuang family, there is nothing more important and gratifying than the field.

That night, apart from the third room, the Huo family slept very soundly in the second half of the night.

When he woke up the next morning, Huo Chengyi didn't pay attention to the rumors in the village. He gave Duan Xiaopeng a few handfuls of candied fruit, and he was going to let the child go to his little friend to help him pick up chestnuts. That chestnut is also very useful. .

He had already wiped off the wound on the child's face with the spiritual spring water last night, and he didn't dare to use it too much, but when he woke up in the morning, the child's injury had healed a lot, at least it looked human.

Duan Xiaopeng is a sturdy man, carrying candied fruit slowly in his pocket, nibbling on the meat buns left over for breakfast that he hadn't eaten yesterday, his mouth so full of oil that he forgot all the hurts and pains.

To be replaced by another child who was beaten so badly by Huo Zhonghe yesterday, he would have to hide at home for a few days without leaving a shadow in his heart.

Huo Chengyi knew that this child was strong because he had not been trained by his parents since he was a child. He was satisfied but also a little distressed. After all, he was still a half-year-old child.

"Whoever wants to bully you in the future, you hit me back first and then come back to complain. When you beat someone, remember to hit your butt. If you don't hurt you can't see it, don't come back crying for me, you know?"

He had no experience as a father. He doesn't know how to raise children, but he is taught by words and deeds, and he does it himself, so this guy doesn't realize what's wrong with his education at all.

In short, the people of the Huo family can't suffer right or wrong!

Children have the most sensitive sense of people's hearts. Duan Xiaopeng doesn't know what his uncle taught him. All he knows is that he feels that his uncle loves him very much at the moment.

So Duan Xiaopeng, who was cared for for the first time and then moved too far, made up his mind that he would listen to his uncle, and everything his uncle taught was right!

In the place where the villagers of Huangxi Village can't see, the future Huo family's second bully has begun to develop.

After the two uncles and nephews responded to their daily education, Duan Xiaopeng had to go out to play chestnuts.

Huo Chengyi and Huo Dashan went to Zheng Shihai's house and started to prepare wine. What the villagers said was it important for them to make money.

The same goes for Hawkingshui. When he thinks of making money, all his worries and worries are forgotten first. Before dawn, he took his son and daughter-in-law to Zheng's house.

As soon as everyone arrived, no one was lazy. After Huo Chengyi explained the division of labor, everyone rolled up their sleeves and started to work neatly.

Of the three kinds of fruits, Huo Chengyi first chose to brew wild grapes. The grapes are not released. If they are not brewed quickly, they will be easily damaged.

Except for Huo Chengyi, everyone else is making wine for the first time, for fear that it will go bad accidentally.

When we first started working, everyone was careful with every movement, kept asking questions, and he had to stare at every step, nodding his head before he was relieved.

The expression on his work was as if he was facing a great enemy, which made Huo Chengyi wonder whether to laugh or cry.

But I can also understand, after all, winemaking here is a high-content technology, and everyone has invested money this time, and it is normal to be afraid of losing money.

When the hands became proficient, the nervousness passed, and everyone entered a working state. Ten people from three families processed all the grapes and stored them in the jars in one morning.

In order to ensure the success and quality of brewing, Huo Chengyi even looked for opportunities to inject spiritual spring water into each tank.

The back pain was sore after working all morning, but no one was tired. Seeing one vat after vat of processed wild grapes was like seeing silver, and his whole body was full of energy.

After a brief lunch break at noon, he continued to make persistent efforts in the afternoon. On the way, Hawking Shui took an ox cart and went to the next village to buy jars. After all, there were a lot of fruits of nearly ten thousand pounds.

The Zheng family's house was remote, and everyone went back before dawn, and the fruit wine had no smell. The villagers didn't notice it, even if they didn't see Huo Chengyi and others going out, they just thought it was to avoid family scandals and jokes. Don't go out.

At home, Huo Chengyi even deliberately left the champion in the house, just to prevent Lao Shi and the people from Sanfang from bullying the women and children at home while their men were away.

Whoever dares to break into his house and be bitten by a dog is unlucky, sorry, animals are not something we can control casually, and it is useless to ask him for theories.

The champion's ferocious figure can scare some people very well. He obediently went to the door of Huo's house, and was directly frightened by a group of neighbors to close their doors, passing villagers and running away.

Where is the Huo family's dog? It's clearly a monster!

So even though there were only two mothers, Wang Xiuzhu and Huo Daya, no one dared to go to his house to make trouble.

Especially Mr. Dou and the people from Sanfang, Huo Chengyi would run to his door every day to take a look. His smiling face scared them so much that they didn't even dare to go out, because they were afraid that they would not be able to get a quilt when they went out. sack.

It took about five days for the initial work of winemaking. The three families worked non-stop, and nearly 10,000 catties of wild fruits were all processed. Except for the loss, there were 72 tanks in a 100-jin tank.

Of course, this is just a preliminary jar for sealing. After filtering and fermenting, the amount of wine can't be that much, but Huo Chengyi estimated that the amount is very gratifying. It's almost a waste of money.

"Da Niu, this is enough? This will make it?"

Hawking Shui Zheng Shihai and others are still a little confused. After working for a few days, they found that the method of brewing is not difficult, so that these wild fruits can be brewed. into wine? How can work be much easier than their farming, and they can earn dozens of taels?

"It's almost done now. After filtering and fermenting later, it's time for me to call everyone. There will be news about whether the wine will become mature or not. When that time comes, we can pack it well so that we can sell it at a good price."

In fact, there are still many things to pay attention to. But now I told everyone that everyone doesn't understand. As long as the wine doesn't come out, everyone's heart is not clear, and they don't really believe in wild fruit wine.

So Huo Chengyi didn't go into details for the time being. Anyway, when the wine comes out, everyone will naturally have no doubts.

No one else understands this, so of course what he says is what he says.

I thought it would take a long time, but it took only seven or eight days to finish the work, and the rest was waiting for natural fermentation. Now that the autumn harvest has not yet arrived, everyone still has time to go to the town to work for a few days.

Therefore, some people who were worried about money because of the time delay in winemaking looked much better. They just sat down and rested before leaving Zheng's house, and they started discussing the itinerary to go to the town for short-time jobs to make money.

Can not blame everyone so desperately, it is forced by life.

The Huo Jinshui family has a lot of people to eat, and they have to provide for the second boy to study; the two sons of Zheng Shihai's family are not young and want to talk to each other; Huo Dashan has to support his wife and children.

In fact, it's not just them, there are many other families in the village who are like this. When they don't go to the fields, they try to find something to do to make money. Otherwise, the family will be even more difficult to live by relying on the food in the fields.

Therefore, the annual slack season is the peak period for short-term labor in the town.

If it's a bit late to find a part-time job, Uncle Huo and the Zheng family have regular places to do part-time jobs in the town, so they don't have to worry about going to the town and can't find anything to do, and the wages are very good.

So when the two families finished talking about the short-term labor, they asked Huo Chengyi if he would go there in a tacit understanding, obviously helping him.

No matter how good the relationship is, there must be back and forth, and Wang Xiuzhu is pregnant and Huo Dashan can't walk away. What if he doesn't work to earn money for his family?

In fact, there is another main reason, that is, he is afraid that when he is idle, he will return to being idle and wandering around.

"Uncle Zheng, don't worry, you two, I really figured out what to do. I won't go to the part-time job. I want to do some small business by myself. Don't persuade me. I just said that you don't believe me. Anyway, I will talk to you. Promise, I won't go to the casino again, if I don't do it, you can deal with it as you like, okay?"

Huo Jinshui and others wrote all their thoughts on their faces, Huo Chengyi's nonsense explanations are useless, only strict guarantees.

Although there is a guarantee, everyone still doesn't believe him, because the original owner's credibility is too low and too low. In the end, Huo Dashan opened his mouth to help him, and Huo Jinshui only let go.

"Okay, then I'll listen to your elder brother and give you one last chance."

Just hearing the word 'last' will tell you how many times this has happened, and the word 'again' implies that Hawking's water is hard to come by. The sad journey of words.

So to a certain extent, the original owner can grow crooked. To a large extent, the Huo family who protects their cubs doted on themselves. It is not that they do not want to grow straight, but the comfort of the environment is too good...

Huo Chengyi smiled honestly and listened to the respectful teaching of the old man with humility.

When he got home, he immediately put everything behind him, picked up a hare and went to visit Zhou's house.
