Chapter 46 46. It feels like a new year
“What? Send someone from our family to patrol?!”
“Impossible!”
Shen Zhang couldn’t believe it Looking at Shen Manyun, the rejection was very obvious in his eyes.
“My son is a member of the National People’s Congress and will take the examination next year!”
"That's right, my husband-in-law will be a government official in the future. How can he stand patrolling at the entrance of the village like a mud leg?"
"What will happen if people find out about this in the future?"
"No. Go, say you won’t go at all, you guys Whoever you love will go!"
"Yes, my husband is preparing for next year's exam at home. Do you know how important this is? You still want him to go on patrol?"
< br>Little Zhang stood beside her mother-in-law, head held high.
Shen Mantun was so angry at the two women, "Ignorant woman! I can't explain to you. Where is Youtian? Call him out!"
"It doesn't work to call anyone, not even me. I won’t agree!”
Ms. Shen Zhang grunted heavily, muttered something in a low voice and turned around to enter the room.
When she came out again, there was a man behind her, and the two of them communicated quietly for a long time, pushing and shoving.
The head of the family, Shen Youtian, is a village man who looks to be about forty years old. He is standing there with an embarrassed look on his face, with a bit of shame on his honest face.
"Brother Mantun, why are you here? Come in and sit down?"
"Everything in your house is valuable, but I can't afford to sit on this chair."
Shen Mantun has already told Shen Zhang Shen Xingluo was dissatisfied. Since Shen Xingluo's appearance was ruined, he has been showing off in the village all day long to show off how powerful his son is. He will become an official in the future. It’s just a ranking, it’s still far from being an official!
Do you still want to reach the sky in one step?
Let’s cultivate good moral character first.
“Our village needs to stop people from patrolling, so that no one can run in and harm the villagers. Every household needs to have someone, and your family will have one no matter what. It’s up to you!”
When Shen Mantun saw Shen Youtian looking at his mother-in-law frequently, he knew that this house was not for him, so he simply left the message and planned to leave.
"Let me say it in advance. This is the top priority of our village. If you don't come, if something happens in the future, don't blame the villagers for not helping."
Everyone. I can't figure it all out. How come the old Shen family has such a lineage?
Shen Mantun didn't get any preferential treatment just because there was a Juren here. After putting down his words, he went to the next house to inform about the patrol.
But Shen Youtian stood there and said "yes" twice, then turned around and looked at Shen Zhang in embarrassment.
“Look at this”
“What are you looking at? Our son is a scholar, so what’s the point of going on patrol?”
“That’s right, father-in-law, you are in the ancestral hall today. I saw it too. Those five people all look fierce. What if they get into a fight and injure their husband?”
"That's not possible, my son can't go!"
When Shen Youtian heard that there was danger, he immediately retorted.
"Ziqing is not only the hope of our family, but also the hope of the entire Shenjia Village. There can be no mistakes!"
Shen Zhang's sword glared, "You are not allowed to go either! ”
“. Then there will be no one in our family. ”
"What's wrong with no one? There are so many people in the village and you are not missing. Our Ziqing should be protected by the people in the village. When we become officials in the future, won't they all benefit?"
At this time Let them do more work!
She didn’t believe it yet. Could it be that the village didn’t care about her family’s troubles?
Shen Zhang didn't take it seriously and glared at Shen Youtian with a strong sense of rejection.
Shenjiacun wanted to organize a patrol team, and a consensus was reached in just one day.
Although each of the 100 households had their own considerations, most of them joined the patrol team after learning what the five Huang brothers had done, and only a few people did not take it seriously.
Among these people, except for Shen Youtian's family, most of them are people with foreign surnames.
After hearing the news, Uncle Six snorted coldly and didn't take it to heart. "Since you don't plan to patrol, then don't worry about them."
A village of more than 500 people was not small in ancient times. My own family couldn't take care of it. How could I have time to take care of it? A moron who voluntarily left the team?
Shen Manyun sighed in disappointment, turned around and assigned tasks to everyone.
As Uncle Six said, everyone has a lot of work to do, and it’s really not worth the trouble for a single family.
***
“The team was divided into three teams. Uncle Zheng Shan is on the east side of the village, and Brother Lian Hu is on the west side of the village. There are people watching the roads entering the village on both sides.”
In the Shen family courtyard, Shen Xingluo brought back the latest news when he returned from the ancestral hall.
Cheng Xi nodded while serving rice.
"Is it Uncle Six's idea?"
"Uncle Six is old and went to bed after dinner. It was Uncle Mantun's idea."
Li Zheng?
Cheng Xi was stunned for a moment and then smiled.
In terms of intelligence, Shen Mantun was indeed not as smart as Uncle Six, and the gap was not even small, but when it came to organizing manpower and coordinating tasks, Li Zheng was indeed well-intentioned.
"You are the third team? What are you responsible for?"
"Go up the mountain to chop firewood."
Shen Xingluo took the spinach and egg soup from her hand and placed it on the dining table Set up in front.
"Uncle Mantun means that the beasts on the mountain are more difficult to deal with than people, so he just asked me to take people into the mountain."
After the last battle with Cheetah, Shen Xingluo became completely famous.
Now he not only has a certain status in the hearts of the men who go up the mountain, but his reliability among Shen Manyun has soared, almost to the point of explosion.
Shen Xingluo naturally agreed happily.
He originally planned to visit Shennong Mountain every few days, firstly to practice his skills and thoroughly understand the elementary martial arts secret book, and secondly, to collect some precious medicinal materials for upgrading.
[Host host, the most important thing is to repay the debt! Pay the debt! 】
[Warm reminder: Paying back debts is a matter of course. I hope the host will work harder~]
“.”
The corners of Shen Xingluo’s mouth twitched and he decisively cut off contact.
Cheng Xi had no idea that Cheap Husband could interact with a series of codes in his mind and set the tableware for dinner.
“Take the machete at home and bring some wound medicine with you just in case.”
"I got it."
Nowadays, Shenjia Village is like a piece of fat tied on a rope to criminals. Anyone who sees it wants to take a bite. The villagers seem to be aware of this and start patrolling Work harder.
The husband and wife here have a clear division of labor. One is responsible for going up the mountain to chop firewood, and the other is stationed at home to prevent accidents.
The Chinese New Year was getting closer and closer, so Cheng Xi took Shen Xingqi at home to sort out the New Year's goods.
She processed all the wild game, deep-fried a lot of it with the refined meat, and harvested two crops of vegetables in the wooden trough. Those that could not be eaten were directly wrapped in egg batter and fried into fried goods.
In just two days, the kitchen has been filled with various vegetables and meats.
Hmm. It has a New Year flavor, quite strong!
Looks like there is a shortage of firecrackers?
Forget it, this is already a wealthy family, what else do you need a bicycle for?
Cheng Xi looked at the full kitchen and felt a deep sense of satisfaction in his heart.
