"What? Let our family have people patrolling?!"
"Impossible!"
Mrs. Shen Zhang looked at Shen Manyun in disbelief, the rejection in her eyes was very obvious.
"My son is a civil servant, and he will take part in the examination next year!"
"That's right, my husband-in-law will be an official in the future, how can he stand patrolling at the entrance of the village like a mud-legged man?"
"What if people find out about this in the future? "
No, I won't go at all. Whoever you love will go!"
"Yes, my husband is at home preparing for next year's exam. Do you know how important this is? Do you still want him to go on patrol? Mendu No!"
Mrs. Zhang stood beside her mother-in-law, holding her head high.
Shen Mantun was so angry at the two women, "Ignorant woman! I can't explain to you. Where is Arita? Call him out!"
"It won't work if you call anyone, and my boss won't agree!
" Mrs. Zhang snorted heavily, muttered something softly and turned around to enter the house.
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 awkward look on his face, with a bit of shame and annoyance on his honest face.
"Brother Mantun, why are you here? Come in and sit down?"
"Everything in your house is expensive, but I can't afford to sit on this chair."
Shen Mantun has long been dissatisfied with Shen Zhang. Ever since Shen Xingluo's appearance was ruined, everything has changed. Tian was showing off in the village how powerful his son was, and that he was going to be an official in the future. He
was just the last person in the provincial examination. He barely squeezed in and got a rank. He was still far from becoming 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 come in and harm the villagers. Every household has to have someone, and your family has to have one no matter what. It's up to you!"
Shen Mantun saw Shen Youtian looking at his mother-in-law frequently, and said Knowing that this house was not for him, he simply left a 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 is confused. Why is the old Shen family so confused? Out of 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. What's the point of going on patrol?"
"That's right, father-in-law. You also saw it in the ancestral hall today. Those five people all look fierce. In case of a fight, What should I do if I hurt my husband?"
"That's not possible, my son can't go!"
Shen Youtian became anxious when he heard that there was danger, and immediately retorted.
"Ziqing is not only the hope of our family, but also the hope of the entire Shenjia Village. We can't let anything go wrong!"
Shen Zhang said with a stern look, "You are not allowed to go either!"
"Then there will be no one in our family. "
What's wrong with the lack of people? There are so many people in the village and you are not missing one. We Ziqing should be protected by the people in the village. When we become officials in the future, won't they all benefit?"
Let them do more at this time. It should be!
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.
Uncle Six snorted coldly after hearing the news, but 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. Even my own family can't manage it. Where can I have time to take care of idiots who voluntarily leave the team?
Shen Manyun sighed in disappointment, turned around and assigned tasks to everyone.
Just as uncle Liu said, everyone has a lot of work to do, and it's not worth the trouble for a single family.
***
"The team was divided into three teams. Uncle Zheng Shan was on the east side of the village, and Brother Lian Hu was on the west side of the village. There were people watching the way into the village on both sides." In
the small courtyard of the Shen family, Shen Xingluo brought back the latest news when he returned from the ancestral hall. information.
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 laughed.
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.
"Are you in the third team? What are you responsible for?"
"Go up the mountain to chop wood."
Shen Xingluo took the spinach and egg soup from her hand and placed it in front of the dining table.
"Uncle Mantun means that the beasts in the mountains are more difficult to deal with than people, so he just asked me to lead people into the mountains."
After the last battle with the 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: It is natural to pay back debts. I hope the host will work harder~]
"."
Shen Xingluo twitched the corners of his mouth and 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 know."
To the gangsters, Shenjiacun is now a piece of fat tied on a rope. Anyone who sees it wants to chew it. In the last breath, the villagers seemed to realize this and patrolled even harder.
The husband and wife here have a clear division of labor. One is responsible for going up the mountain to cut firewood, and the other is stationed at home to prevent accidents.
The 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, fried a lot of it with the refined meat, and harvested two crops of vegetables in the wooden trough. Those that were not edible 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 and is quite strong!
It seems that 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, feeling a deep sense of satisfaction in her heart.
