Reborn Just To Be a Big Shot Family Freeloader Chapter 1050

While she was squatting and chatting, Tamalukawa simply squatted down, but Fuzi did not squat. After all, squatting was an action that did not fit his personality. However, he did not poke at the side, but took it. They sat down on a straw futon, but their thoughts were on the chat between Qi Xun and the old man.

The two of them listened with great interest.

Unexpectedly, the lives of ordinary people in Daxia are also living so well.

The old man said that although life was pretty good in the past, taxes in Yanzhou were low, and the north was vast and sparsely populated. The common people had a few acres of land at home, so no one could starve to death anyway. In the past ten years, the entire Yanzhou has been constantly building roads and bridges. Not to mention their rural areas near the city, even the more remote areas have cement roads.

With good roads and convenient travel, everything grown and raised in the countryside can be transported and sold. It is an income. Doesn't this mean that life will get better and better?

Compared to the past, although it has only been ten years, it has undergone earth-shaking changes.

His family is not considered the best in the village, but his three grandsons are now studying in private schools.

"I also have to thank Lord Wen Sheng. I heard that books and paper are sold cheaply today because people from Wen Sheng's family developed new paper and printing technology. Therefore, our grandson can only study when he is studying. Use cheap books and paper. In the past, ordinary people like ours could not afford three scholars.

Oh, I heard that Lord Wen Sheng is from Qingze Prefecture. Nowadays, it is said that Linjiang of Qingze Mansion is a place with the most prosperous culture. Every scholar wants to go to Linjiang Yan's Academy to study. My grandson also said that he should study hard and study in Yan's academy for a few years and read the books in Yan's library. "

Qixun smiled and said: "Lord Wen Sheng is indeed from Qingze Mansion. The Yan family's library contains many books, which are worth a visit. The people in the Yan family are also very hospitable, so I went there to read. There are so many books in the library that people can't help but copy them.”

When it comes to the library built at home, Qi Xun feels proud and brags about it. I wish I could make the old man my confidant.

An old man and a young man, the conversation was so speculative that the old man, who was tired from squatting, insisted on inviting Qixun and the others to his home to continue chatting.

Qi Xun couldn't refuse the old man's kindness. He also wanted to see how the lives of ordinary people in the North were, so he agreed.

It just so happens that Buddhists are about to experience the mortal world, and it is too biased to only look at the fireworks in the city. Looking at the lives of the people at the lowest level can better appreciate the world's emotions.

As for Xiaoliang and Yanyi, their opinions are not important.

And Yuliuchuan has just come, and he goes wherever the little master uncle goes.

The three of them simply followed the old man as a guest.

The village where the old man's family is located is about ten miles away from the city. The old man came here carrying a load. A group of people were visiting, but it was difficult to walk. The old man gritted his teeth and hired an ox cart. It's not easy to ask guests to walk.

Qi Xun didn't stop him either.

Passing by the vegetable market, the old man cut off two pounds of meat and two fish, and planned to go back and add some vegetables.

The group of people left the city in an ox cart and walked slowly toward the village.

The road along the official road is smooth and fast with concrete roads. The old man once again praised this official statement. It is said that if you take a car and go back and forth, it will save at least half the time than before. The key is that even in rainy and snowy days, the road is easy to walk and does not delay people's travels.

After getting off the official road, we walked another two miles before arriving at the village where the old man's family was located.

Seeing the old man coming back in a bullock cart with three guests who looked like they were of extraordinary origin, a villager boldly asked the old man: "Third uncle, are you having guests at home?"

The old man replied with a smile: "Yes, he is an honored guest. Liuwazi, the sweet cabbage grown at your home is growing well. Please send two to my family later and ask your uncle to get money for you. My uncle's family entertains distinguished guests. It is also a good time in this season." There's nothing good about it, but your sweet cabbage tastes great, and it's not shabby to serve guests.”

The young man said hurriedly: "It's nothing but two vegetables. If I accept money from my third uncle and grandma, my mother will scold me later."

After the young man finished speaking, he looked at Qixun and the others curiously before running away.

When we arrived at the old man's house, there were five large blue brick houses with three wing rooms on each side. Although the wing rooms were made of adobe, they were not small. The courtyard has a wooden door, but the golden chrysanthemums planted along the wall are in full bloom. There are several jujube trees planted in the courtyard, which are full of fruits. It looks like a pastoral scene.

The conditions of the old man's house are not bad at first glance. Anyway, her family's conditions were much better than when Qixun awakened her past life memories. Arriving at the door of the house, Qixun rushed to pay for the ox cart, but the old man did not argue. A middle-aged man in his thirties who was weaving baskets with wicker in the courtyard heard the noise, quickly put down his work and came out to greet them.

Looking at Qixun and the others, they felt a little embarrassed. Before they could speak, Qixun stepped forward to meet Li.

The middle-aged man hurriedly returned the gift and asked the old man: "Dad, how many pulls are these?"

The old man smiled and said: "The noble man I met when I entered the city is a friend of our young father-in-law. He wants to come to our countryside to have a look, so I invited him to come. Let your mother come out to meet the guests quickly, and then we can prepare a good dinner."

As he spoke, he handed the meat and fish to the middle-aged man.

He also introduced to Qixun and others: "This is my eldest son."

The old man's two sons and a daughter are all married. The two sons gave birth to four grandsons and two granddaughters, so the population was prosperous. Of the four grandchildren, three were sent to school when they were old enough to go to school. I also have a grandson and two granddaughters, and I plan to call it studying in the future.

Since the emergence of a female literary saint in Daxia. Nowadays, as long as there are conditions and the elders are enlightened, girls can also read and write.

After all, in addition to the two academies in the capital, prefectural and county schools now also admit female students.

When chatting on the road earlier, the old man sighed: "Now that the people's living conditions are better, and the family has more money, why don't they just spend it on their children and grandchildren? If it were in the past, no ordinary family like us would have the conditions to send a girl to study."

　　A group of people entered the courtyard, and the middle-aged man shouted towards the courtyard: "Mom, there is a guest at home."

The old man's wife in the house, an old woman, led her two daughters-in-law, a little girl, and two milk babies in her arms to welcome her out.

As for the old man's second son, he is working in the fields at the moment and is not at home.

At first glance, Qixun and several people have extraordinary temperaments and are obviously not ordinary people. The old woman, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are all very reserved.

The old man's surname was Wu. Qixun took the initiative to step forward and said with a smile: “I have met Grandma Wu and the three aunts from the Wu family. I have brought you trouble by coming to disturb you.”

The old woman waved her hands hurriedly: "No trouble, no trouble."

Qixun then handed over the two boxes of gifts he had prepared.

When you come to someone's house as a guest, you can't go empty-handed.

The old woman declined, and Qixun smiled and said, "If you don't accept it, we will be embarrassed to eat at your house."

The old woman looked at the old man and saw that he nodded, so she accepted it.

Qixun took out another handful of candies and handed them to the three little children.

Even though he is young, he is very polite. He was obviously greedy for the fragrant candy, but he held it back and looked at his grandma longingly. When the old woman nodded, the three little babies accepted the candy. No need for adults to remind me, I just thanked Qixun in a sweet voice: "Thank you, sister."

Qixun smiled and rubbed the head of the older girl standing on the ground: "You're welcome. I made this candy myself. You guys have a try to see if you like it."

A group of people were invited into the main room.

The old man's house is as tidy as the courtyard. It can be seen that this family is a diligent and diligent person who loves to be clean. (End of chapter)
