Chapter 12 The warmth of home
Wen Youshan thought about it in his heart, and agreed decisively, "Yes, then this price, by the way, the shopkeeper, I still have some domestic eggs, wild eggs and duck eggs. Would you like to buy some as well."
Wen Youshan pointed at the basket and said.
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "There are really not two ready-to-wear shops selling eggs these days, let alone domestic eggs, how many wild eggs and wild duck eggs are there?"
Wen Youshan hurriedly packed the eggs, counted them, and said, "Twelve wild eggs and fifteen wild duck eggs."
"It\'s not much, how do you sell it?" The shopkeeper asked with interest, rubbing his moustache.
"One wild egg is two cents, and two wild duck eggs are five cents." Wen Youshan swallowed his saliva and quoted a price. He knew that the price was not low, and was waiting for the shopkeeper to bargain. He agreed immediately and asked Xiao Er to settle the bill with him.
The excited Wen Youshan clutched the copper coins in his arms, walked in a hurry, and quickly disappeared on the street corner, as if he was afraid that the shopkeeper of the ready-made clothing store would go back and regret it.
Seeing that it was getting late, Wen Youshan did not continue to sell, but went to the county office first. At this time, it was a little deserted outside the county office. After all, it was the county office. Ordinary people have a natural fear of this kind of place. It must be impossible to go to such a place. The catcher guarding the yamen still remembers Wen Youshan, and he let him in after only asking a few questions when he came over.
Wen Youshan familiarly found the yard where the master\'s office was, and when he entered, he didn\'t leave until the end of the time. When he walked out of the yamen, he still felt a little unreal. After his hallucination, his footsteps were also much faster. Fortunately, he hadn\'t forgotten Chen Ningya\'s order to bring snacks to the children.
When Wen Youshan returned from the county seat to Yuchang Town, the sky was completely dark, and the shops in the town were closed in the evening. At this moment, there was not even a single person on the road. It was hard to run into one or two people, and the driver let him go. At the entrance of the town, he drove a donkey cart away.
Wen Youshan tidied up the back basket and rushed home without thinking about it. He thought that when he entered the village, it would be dark and blind. Hope, as soon as he was excited, he ran directly. When he got to the foot of the mountain, he realized that the flashing light was a torch inserted on the soil slope. No need to think about it to know that this is Chen Ningya\'s masterpiece, and few children have never done it. past this kind of thing.
"Ma\'am, I\'m back!" Wen Youshan pushed open the fence gate and shouted loudly.
Chen Ningya was awakened, she quickly got off the ground, pushed open the door and trotted out, "What are you shouting? The children are all asleep!"
"Hey, I\'m not too happy!" Wen Youshan laughed.
Chen Ningya rolled his eyes at him and said strangely: "Hurry up and put things down, the stove has boiled hot water for you, it\'s still very cold, take a hot bath, drink a bowl of **** soup, don\'t freeze."
"You don\'t need to drink that stuff." Wen Youshan muttered without temper, but walked towards the stove with his feet extremely honest. When he entered the stove, he realized that Chen Ningya not only boiled hot water for him, but also boiled **** Soup and dinner.
Although it is still the same wild vegetable porridge, Wen Youshan still feels warm in his heart. There is a feeling that this home is finally like a home. That feeling is inexplicable, but it seems to give people endless energy. There seems to be a lot of hope.
Chen Ningya, who was packing things in the main room, did not know that Wen Youshan had thought so much in such a short period of time. She took out the things in the back basket one by one, and Chen Ningya found that in addition to a bag of cakes that were not light in weight, there were also There was a packet of caramel, and there were also a few cold buns.
Chen Ningya put away the pastries and candy, and after thinking about it, she simply put the buns in the basket and hung them up, lest the good things be caught by mice.
After she finished packing, Wen Youshan also took the hot water to take a bath. Chen Ningya took advantage of this time to wash Wen Youshan\'s clothes.
The couple went back to the house late at night.
Wen Youshan has been waiting for Chen Ningya to ask to make her happy, but she didn\'t expect her to hold him back in a slow and slow manner. In the end, Wen Youshan couldn\'t help but speak first, "Madam, you just Don\'t want to ask me about my trip to the county today?"
Chen Ningya put away the folded clothes and turned back calmly, "Have you received the compensation from the Deng family?"
Wen Youshan nodded vigorously, then shook his head.
Chen Ningya looked strange, "If you have it, you have it, if you don\'t have it, you don\'t have it. What do you mean? It\'s hard. There are no twenty-two?"
Wen Youshan organized the language and said in a low voice, "I can\'t say that, the 22 taels of the Deng family really can\'t be taken out. The average family is afraid that they don\'t have so much money, let alone the Deng family. If they have money Otherwise, they wouldn\'t do such wicked and sinister things. The county magistrate sent people to the door several times, and the Deng family only managed to collect 10 taels of silver. Originally, the magistrate wanted the Deng family to sell their fields, but in the end it was the Deng family village. The village chief asked the mayor and a few li to come forward to intercede for the wife and children of Deng Laosan’s family, saying that Deng Laosan’s family would starve to death without the land.
The county magistrate reluctantly agreed to give a few days of grace for the sake of those people, but the money still had to be given. Deng Laosan\'s mother-in-law couldn\'t, so she had to give us a piece of seafield in Wanshui Village. I don\'t know how much the seafield is worth. However, the master said that there are more than 12 Haitians, and if the Deng family really couldn\'t make money, they wouldn\'t be cheap for us. "
Chen Ningya was no longer calm when she heard about Haitian. Farmers have farmland, mulberry people have mulberry fields, medicinal farmers have medicinal fields, but what do fishermen have? They have nothing but a flat boat. Those in better condition still have houses on land, but most fishermen can only live on water, and sea fields are a feature of Qing\'an County.
When it comes to Haitian, I have to talk about the geographical environment of Qing\'an County. There are many mountains here and the sea is close to the sea. Although the fishing village is by the sea, there are many mountain roads to go from the fishing village to the town. Usually it takes a day or two to go back and forth, and it is farther to the county town. In addition, in addition to the fact that there is a small set in the town for three days and a large set in five days, the fishermen cannot send out the fish they catch every day in time, but if they don’t send it out, they can’t keep it, which becomes a big problem. .
More than ten years ago, a magistrate who was dedicated to the people came to Qing\'an County. Haitian was the policy he promulgated. The people could apply to the government to buy unowned land by the sea and turn them into sea fields, or they could lease it from the government and give it to the county government for a year. After paying a certain rent, Haitian can divert the sea water, keep fresh fish in it, and then transport it to the town for sale when the big gathering. Of course, the land by the sea is limited, which not only limits the number of acres that each person can buy, but also divides the purchasers into three, six, nine, and so on. If they are sold and the fishermen need the sea fields, the government will force the purchasers who are not fishermen to take back the sea fields.
