Chapter 1930

Man Bao said, "I asked. Xia Wulang and Xia Qilang are not the children of Xia clan leader's family. Xia Qilang is also Xia clan leader's nephew and grandson. Xia Wuliang and he are separated by several rooms, but he still supports Xia Wuliang's study. He usually doesn't lack help, but also let each family help. Obviously, they want Xia Wuliang and Xia Qilang to take the examination first and then pull out the family in the future."

In fact, this is a common strategy used by many small squire families. As long as one official comes out of a family, it can take the whole family and even the whole village to a higher level.

After seeing man Bao, Zhou Erlang wrote back and said that after the news of her official position was sent back to Qili Village, the village went to buy firecrackers and set them off for a day. The family bought many more and set them off for a day. Finally, Zhou Erlang had no choice but to buy a little more and set off firecrackers.

Last winter, the county decided to build the road from Qili Village to the county seat, which directly widened the rear fill. It is said that now it is almost as big as the pipeline, there will be no more bumps, and there can be two carriages in parallel.

Even the path over the mountain was simply repaired.

This is the invisible benefits that being an official can bring to the village and family.

Not to mention the increased subsidies for seeds and agricultural tools during the teaching of agricultural mulberry. Even when paying taxes, the county government's survey is not so harsh.

In the past, one kilogram of hemp always had to be given twenty-two more. Now there are twenty-two more, and the Yamen will take one or two back on their own initiative

This is a typical person who gets the way. Chickens and dogs rise to heaven. Cough

Man Bao said, "but I think dullele is not as good as zhonglele. Obviously, some ethnic elders of Xia family think so. I proposed to open ethnic studies that day. Don't they agree?"

Bai Erlang asked, "are you going to bring down their family?"

"Nonsense," man Bao glanced at him and said in righteous words, "am I such a person? Although my surname is Zhou, I also have Xia's blood in my body. Will I harm Xia? Children are literate. Even if they don't take the exam, they will have other benefits. Apart from others, they will always be more polite than others after reading, and it's easier to find a job and make money? "

Bai Erlang said, "their purpose is not to let them do accounting or do some paperwork to make money, but to become a family of officials. You almost cut off their road of examiners."

Man Bao shook his head. "No, when this generation makes money and the next generation has money, it can be cultivated again. Why do we have to raise the strength of the whole family to support these two people now?"

Bai Shan interrupted their argument, "OK, what is the last choice is also the decision of the family. We are just a proposal. Why are you arguing? It's like you can make a decision. "

Bai Erlang and man Bao stopped arguing, but Bai Erlang still commented and said, "you are really treacherous."

Man Bao takes it and doesn't refute it.

Bai Shan didn't refute. They just wanted Xia to have no time to trouble them in these ten or twenty years, and Xia's people probably won't trouble them in ten or twenty years.

With this purpose in mind, when they left for Hongtian village the next day, they specially dressed up, put on the best clothes they brought, hung the best accessories, combed their hair neatly and smoothly, and got on the bus.

Old Zhou tou also put on his best clothes and made up his mind whether to lose or not.

Hongtian village is a big village, much bigger than Qili Village, and Xia family is the most populous family in Hongtian village. Of course, there are several surnames in addition to Xia family, which is not particularly small.

In such a large village, if children go to school, they have to walk three kilometers to the town. It doesn't seem very far, but the bundle is high and the cost is high, so few children in the village can really afford it.

However, Xia is still the family that can send their children to school the most.

When man Bao's carriage entered Hongtian village, it attracted the attention of the busy villagers in the field. The main reason was that their horses were good. At first glance, they were not ordinary people, so the people who had heard the news immediately carried a hoe and went back to watch the excitement.

While walking back, he also talked loudly, "I heard that Zhou Yin and Xin Niang's daughter came back. I'm afraid they don't want to fight with the Xia family."

"It seems that Zhou Yin has developed. Why didn't he come back?"

"I heard from the Xia family that he died early. His daughter was raised by his brother and sister-in-law. If he wants to develop, his daughter is also developed."

"Who is Zhou yin?"

"You don't know him. He is Xia Yan's son-in-law."

Many young people don't even know who Xia Yan is, but whatever he is, watch the excitement first and know it in a moment.

The carriage went to the village. Xia clan leader came to pick up Zhou man himself. Seeing so many villagers watching the excitement, the smile on his face was a little reluctant.

Fortunately, man Bao, who got out of the car, gave him face and came forward to meet him with a smile.

The Xia clan leader breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned to ask old Zhou tou and Qian Shi to go in and said, "please come to your in laws. The old people in the clan are waiting at home."

When the villagers saw that they didn't quarrel, but were in harmony with each other, which was quite boring. Some people who knew the inside story wondered, "strange, isn't it that Zhou Yin's daughter came back to collect not only Xia Yi's house, but also the previous fields? Why didn't they quarrel?"

"Yes, when did chief Xia get so good tempered?"

We also want to go to the family leader Xia's house to watch the excitement. Different surnames in the same village are enemies, especially when your family is large, but my family is not much smaller than you. There will always be some friction in the same village.

Xia's young people didn't want to be laughed at by them, so they occupied the wall and door of Xia clan leader's house first, and people with foreign surnames couldn't squeeze in at all.

Man Bao and his family entered the yard of clan leader Xia's house. When they looked up, they saw that there were people at the door at the top of the wall. They couldn't help but pause.

Xia people probably know their intentions when they grow up. Although they are embarrassed, they don't drive them away. It's better to be laughed at by people of the same family than by people with a different surname, isn't it?

So he smiled awkwardly at Zhou man and said, "children are naughty. Don't blame your in laws and big lady."

Man Bao is not surprised at all, because she has seen more and people in Qili Village like to pick the wall of her house.

Just not so much.

Because there were too many people to sit in the house, they sat down in the yard.

Xia clan leader also asked Xia Wulang and Xia Qilang to see Zhou man, "last time I was in a hurry, didn't the big lady see Wu Lang and Qi Lang? They are your brothers. "

Although she is not surnamed Xia, she is still a granddaughter. She must not be a granddaughter. This is the last stubbornness of Xia clan leader.

Man Bao and Xia Wulang and Xia Qilang saluted, then looked around and asked, "where's the Yitang uncle?"

The Xia clan leader didn't expect that she wouldn't open the pot. He said, "he went to the county to pick up his daughter-in-law."

Man Bao remembered. Yes, Xia Yi finished moving things yesterday and left his key in the street, so the county government released his daughter-in-law and informed him to pick up people the next day.

Yesterday, Zhou Dalang and Friday Dalang didn't pick up the key. After checking the house, they directly asked someone to change the lock. By now, the house is hers.
