At this moment, in the sunset, in front of the black husband's house, surrounded by dozens of people, they are all ordinary people, and there are more women than men.

It stands to reason that although there is no farm work in winter, farmers are not allowed to be leisurely. Because the law of the Qin State stipulates that after spring and February, it is forbidden to cut timber in the mountains and forests, and the ban is not lifted until July, and only coffins that need to be cut for death are not subject to seasonal restrictions.

Therefore, the adult men in the farmer's family have to take advantage of the winter when there is no ban to cut enough firewood after the beginning of spring. If you have a skill, you can also go up the mountain to set traps and nets to catch birds and beasts, and go down to the river to get fish and turtles, so as to subsidize the family.

As for the women, apart from weaving, they held wooden pestles at home, and spent their days licking the grain as if it could never be finished.

This afternoon, which was supposed to be business as usual, was broken because of the arrival of Rizheng's wife.

Rimasa's wife told the peasant women who were busy at home that she had heard that the heartfelt family living in Ridong had made a new rice making utensil, which could greatly reduce the time spent on rice cooking, and it didn't take much effort, and there was no need for sore arms.

"These are all leaked out of the mouth of the craftsman's wife when chatting with her neighbors, I heard that it will be done in the middle of the month, and I have taken it for more than half a month, and I have scooped dozens of stone grains!"

"Is that true?"

As soon as they heard that there was such a good thing, the women in it exploded, and they threw down the wooden pestles in their hands, clamoring to take a look.

Just as they were talking and laughing and walking out of the house, ready to knock on the door as usual, Li Zheng appeared.

He told them in a gloomy manner that he had just gone to find the whirl who made this artifact, but he was unwilling to make it for others, and ran away to his heart's house with his wife!

"I said it." Li Zheng said to the men and women of the gathered households: "He said that he swore that he would not make this for others!" ”

When many of the women heard this, they immediately cried out.

"How unreasonable!"

"As a hundred workers, shouldn't we make utensils for our soldiers? There is an order in the middle, how dare he not do it! ”

Li Zheng saw that the crowd was indignant, and the time was almost up, so he raised his hand and incited: "Wait and listen to me, several generations have come, and the villagers in the sunset are like a family. But if there is something good, it should be shared with all the people in it! This is the rule that has long been set by Lizhong! ”

"Yes."

"That's right!"

Everyone agreed, although no one took this so-called rule seriously for a long time.

"But now, Zhen Helu is unwilling to hand over this thing, and he is unwilling to let the girls in Lizhong save some energy, even if I am Lizheng, I have nothing to do with them. Since I can't convince the two of them, I hope that you and the others will go with me, and persuade them to hand over this thing, and if it is really useful, let the rod make one for every household. ”

"What Li Zheng said is very good!" When everyone heard that they wanted every family to use that good thing, they were immediately happy and agreed.

So, after a while, outside the heart's house, the once empty half-acre mulberry forest was crowded with people, and the ground was trampled into a mess. Others tiptoed over the wall to look inside.

More village women shouted outside:

"Heart, come out and say something!"

"Is it true that the utensils that can save effort and time are made by the rice?"

"Lu, if there is such a thing, as a hundred workers, why don't you make it for the inside?"

The wooden door of the heart's house was closed, and the people inside did not say a word, except for the faint cry of a child......

……

Seeing that the family was blocked in the door and was forced to ask by the insiders, the sunset was not to mention how comfortable it was.

Although Li Zheng is small, he is also a mile long, responsible for taking charge of household registration, checking illegality, and urging enslavement.

But since Nahefu went to serve in the county town and returned from meritorious service, their family has become more and more arrogant and does not take themselves seriously. Heifu's little erection, when he meets others on the road on weekdays, he greets him kindly, but when he sees Lizheng, he doesn't even want to order one, this son really thinks that he has won the Duke, so it's great?

Because Heifu asked his family to keep his mouth shut, and not to reveal that he was going to be the pavilion chief before the matter was completed, including Li Zheng, everyone in Li Zhong didn't know about it......

Li Zheng and the brothers of the heart family already have some grudges, he has already thought about it, when this year's spring ploughing, when Zhen and Heifu come to borrow cattle again, they must know who has the final say here!

But the opportunity came sooner than Li Zheng expected, two days ago, when his wife went to Libei to visit the door, a news came back: the wife of the craftsman, that is, Heifu's sister Huan, said that she had leaked her mouth when chatting with her neighbors, and boasted that she had made a rice making utensil that could be stepped on with his feet, which could save half the time of rice making by half, and it was effortless......

Li Zheng didn't believe it, but he couldn't resist his wife's nagging, so he went to Lu's house today to ask about it.

Who would have thought that the whirlpool was stumbling, obviously there was a ghost in his heart!

Li Zheng was suspicious, so he pretended to go to the toilet, touched the backyard of the Lu family, and really saw a rice utensils that looked like orange trees!

At this time, he couldn't argue, and Li Zheng ordered him to make a similar one for himself and send it to his home the day after tomorrow. Unexpectedly, this whirlpool was ruthless enough, rejected Li Zheng on the spot, and smashed that thing! Then he took his wife and daughter and ran to his heart's house......

Li Zheng failed to succeed, and in a fit of anger, there was today's scene.

He couldn't get it himself, so he pretended to be fair, so that this heartfelt family would be ugly and hostile to the whole family!

"Let's see how your family is going to gain a foothold in the future!"

Just as Li Zheng was triumphantly watching his family being surrounded, Tian Dian came over, and he whispered to Li Zheng, saying that this time is not as good as in the past, and his younger brother Heifu is not a good person, and he has a reputation in the county, who knows what will happen in the future, don't do things to the end!

"What if I just do it?"

Li Zheng is not angry, he is a stubborn little landlord, proud of the family's identity as a "scholar", and he wants to maintain his position in Lizhong.

At this point, it is no longer a question of rice utensils, but a matter of his prestige in it. If even a small hundred workers dare to disobey him, and even his brothers can't clean up, how can he still be this right? The old man of the prison gate with a higher title than him can covet this position at any time!

Therefore, Li Zheng insisted on going his own way, and said to Tian Dian: "Hugh wants to persuade again, today, I will let my heart bow my head and obediently sacrifice that artifact!" ”

Tian Dian shook his head and left, saying before leaving, he would not help each other in this matter.

"Naigong doesn't need your help! I am the master of this sunset! ”

Looking at Tian Dian's cowardly appearance, Li Zheng was very disdainful, and he continued to say some words that incited the insiders, making them even more resentful of the heartfelt family, as if the heartfelt family did not hand over the artifact, it was like owing them.

Life in the countryside is like this, the place is small, you can't look up and look down, and there is a lot of friction. Neighbors, although they are peaceful on weekdays, but once your family has what my family does not have, and I want what you have, it will lead to jealousy and envy.

Since Heifu returned, the life of the family has been thriving, not only have the doors and walls been repaired, but they can also eat some fish and meat every few days, and in order to keep the secret of stepping on the mill, they do not invite their neighbors to sit at home these days......

Slowly, the surrounding neighbors had some opinions about the family, and various emotions began to brew, and there were many people who said that their family was arrogant and looked down on people. Now that Li Zheng has added a fire, those husbands and sons go out, leaving a person at home to cook rice and the village women who don't know the village, so they are very willing to follow Li Zheng to see the excitement......

Some even maliciously threw mud at the brand-new door of his house, venting their jealousy.

Seeing that it was almost over, Li Zheng pretended to stop everyone, he separated the crowd, raised his proud head, stood in the front row, crossed his waist, and shouted loudly to the heartfelt family: "Heart, if you don't come out again, we will go in by ourselves, and then it will frighten your mother and children, but don't blame us for not talking about the same feelings!" ”

He knew that although the black man was a ruthless man, he was not at home today.

As for the heart? Hehe, Li watched him grow up, from childhood to adulthood, he was an honest child, after hurting his leg on the battlefield, he was more humble in front of people, he would not argue about everything, and he would tolerate everywhere. In the past, I was borrowing cattle, borrowing farm tools, and dividing the fields, but I just smiled helplessly, and I didn't dare to have any opinions.

Therefore, Li Zheng is sure that he will bow to himself!

As soon as he finished speaking, the black wooden door of his home creaked open.

With one foot out of the threshold and one foot in the threshold, his left hand holding the door and his right hand behind him.

He looked at the black-pressed villagers outside, looked at the arrogant Lizheng, his face was a little pale, and the injured leg in the threshold seemed to be trembling slightly......
