The caravan left, Jia Weiran also changed to a new horse, he couldn't carry such a heavy copper coin with him, so he had to use some broken silver to resist, this horse was much better than the one just now, and it was trotting, and the speed was not slow at all.

When his body was warm, Jia Weiran began to scold Zhangjia Zhuangzi again, and fantasized about what his future would be.

******

On the Zhangjia Zhuangzi side, the house was built, and everyone began to prepare for the thirty nights of eating, and the villagers told the people who were responsible for recording what they could take out.

Unexpectedly, the dealers did not agree with this distribution method, they are not without money, this year's income is many times as usual, plus the ability of the two heads of Zhang Wang, it will be better in the future.

Not only these, in addition to their income, they also spend less, the clothes are made by the owner's family, in order to unify, several times a year, when they usually work, the most tiring period of time, is also the main family to make something to eat, plus the children can also eat three meals in the school.

In the case of not going in and out, without spending, they have more spare money, so they are ready to take more things out, they can't always stare at the main house to eat, one by one report the things that can be taken out of their own home, and then let people decide how much and what each family takes, and everyone takes things at the same price as much as possible.

The head of the Zhang and Wang families also bought twenty sheep from outside, and two cows that couldn't work were ready, just waiting to be killed for the New Year, in addition to these, there were also new dishes and chopsticks or something, these money were all from Zhang Xiaobao, who made him the richest.

The greens are also ready, go to the place where the vegetables are planted at the back, choose them, and pick them when the time comes, as well as various seasonings and sauces, including some tonic herbs, which are also put aside and waiting to be used.

The last one is noodles, there are all kinds of meat filling, Zhang Xiaobao is ready to wrap two kinds of dumplings, one is pork and green onion filling, the other is three fresh filling, in exchange for prawns, and some fresh shrimp in the river, you can do it, shrimp and eggs are wrapped with leeks, and garlic sprouts are put in fresh shrimp.

These minced meat should be chopped out first, so as to wait for the time to wrap up, many women are in charge of this, and there is a charcoal fire next to it, and the meat is placed on the cutting board.

The little babies knew that they would be together for the Chinese New Year this year, and they ran and jumped happily, chasing each other, and laughter came from time to time.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also followed, watching the adults fry things there, some of these things only have noodles and a little sugar, and some of them have all kinds of stuffing in them.

The villagers were working there and chatting about the things in the Zhuangzi, and some of the older ones sat next to them, and brought over a few little babies to tell them what it was like during the New Year.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also love to listen, get together and squat there.

"When I was young, I just arrived in Zhang's Zhuangzi, when I was still the old lady of the Zhang family, I couldn't compare with the present, at that time, who dared to eat like this? After eating a Chinese New Year's Eve meal, you don't have to live after the New Year, waiting to starve to death. ”

An old man squinted there, recalling the past and telling the little children, but there was no sadness on his face.

"Grandpa Wannian, do you mean that the old lady in the past can't do anything with Ben?" A little baby has a simple idea, and when she heard this, she asked.

"Don't talk nonsense." The Wannian grandfather in the baby's mouth patted the baby's head, glanced at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and saw that the two little ancestors were not the slightest dissatisfied, so he was relieved, otherwise the old lady would be sad to listen.

Then he said: "If there is no old lady, where is the old man?" This is the old lady's ability, at that time, unlike you, you can go to the school every day to study, and deal with the general will not starve to death, every time the yield after the harvest is low, the old lady of the Zhang family will harvest less, there are 100 households of food, so that we do not starve to death in the Zhuangzi.

Look at you now, enjoy the blessings, there are books to read, Zhuangzi takes care of three good meals and drinks a day, but you have to study hard, and when you are older, you can contribute more to the main family.

Speaking of which? Eating, what used to be a mess of food, how can it compare to now? If you want to eat meat, you can eat it every few days, you need rice, noodles, and new clothes to wear, and next year, you can eat meat for a meal. ”

The old man said this, sat for a long time, and a little tired, rubbed his waist, and was ready to go back, the little baby was listening to the joy, seeing that Grandpa Wannian was leaving, immediately two clever people came to the back of Grandpa Wannian, and moved their hands to beat their backs, one of them said: "Grandpa Wannian, don't go, we will beat your back." ”

This beating on the back is useless at all, but the old man nodded with a smile, "Okay, go on, talk about what you eat, have you seen those cattle and sheep?" When you are thirty, you must keep your stomach, otherwise you won't be able to eat it, and those dumplings and pig's trotters are unthinkable before.

If you don't believe it, go to other Zhuangzi, or ordinary people's homes, and see if they have any of these things to eat? It's good to be able to use white noodles and other bread to order dumplings during the New Year, how dare you put meat like this, only some green onions, the rest are all meat, and the shrimp. ”

"I know, Grandpa Wannian, other villagers and those other ordinary people, when I met our two Zhuangzi people in the market, they were all envious, and they spoke differently than before, I knew what to eat during the New Year before, eating vegetable dumplings, there was a little bit of meat in them."

A slightly older child followed along, and at the same time remembered what he had eaten in the school, milk, eggs, cakes, and meat, even if it was a vegetable bun, there would be a lot of oil in it, and the oil in his mouth would go down the mouth.

Thinking of these, the child put his eyes on Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, who were also happy, and said: "Little boy, little lady, don't worry, we will protect you when we grow up, can you also be as good to us as the current master?" ”

"Okay, okay, better than this, then my family will have more money, and your family will be the same." Zhang Xiaobao agreed.

Wang Juan laughed on the side, these things are all Zhang Xiaobao's, the children on the Zhuangzi are so cute, they dare to ask anything.

The grandfather of Wannian also looked at the little ancestors of the two families of Zhang Wang happily, he didn't know that these were all made by the two little ancestors, but he knew that the original days were not so good, since the little ancestors of the two families of Zhang Wang were born, when he was one year old, Zhuangzi seemed to have suddenly changed.

All people are no longer worried about whether they can eat tomorrow, and they are not afraid of not having clothes to cover their bodies, and life is getting better and better, these are the blessings brought by the two little ancestors, it must be so.

"Also, look at our house now, it will be replaced with a new one next year, and it will be ...... then." Grandpa Wannian continued to speak, and the children also listened, surrounded by houses and charcoal fires, and they didn't feel cold outside at all.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan looked at this 10,000-year-old grandfather who always rubbed his waist from time to time, looked at each other, and communicated with lips.

"Xiaobao, do you think Grandpa Wannian has a lumbar intervertebral herniation or lumbar muscle strain? It's better to find a way to help alleviate it, so that the people on the Zhuangzi can be more comfortable. ”

Wang Juan didn't want these family-like villagers to be too uncomfortable, so he asked Zhang Xiaobao.

"Where do I know, it seems that it should be a lumbar muscle strain, I don't know which one it belongs to, I have never had this, I should get a steam place, and then soak it with Chinese medicine, take wine to knead it slowly, I will have two techniques, I was injured before, when I went to let people press, I chatted with what they taught, and sometimes I pressed it myself."

Zhang Xiaobao doesn't know how to see a doctor, so he can only try it with what he usually hears and learns, but he can't press the old man, he still has a lot of things.

Wang Juan also knew Zhang Xiaobao's situation, and said: "You can teach it to others, and our doctors can do acupuncture, and in the future, we will train some people who specialize in treating various diseases, massage, cupping, scraping, etc., to cultivate talents, and turn Zhang Wang's two Zhuangzi into a comprehensive place."

At that time, as long as something happens, someone can be on top immediately, after the New Year, you write something about planning, I give the children military training every day, wait for them to grow up, we have someone available, don't tell me you can't plan. ”

"Yes, you said it, international fraudsters, how to plan fraud? What I want is that not only children should learn, but adults should also learn, and when they are not busy, let adults learn too.

If everyone is literate, they can read more books and know the meaning inside, which is also a kind of accumulation of experience, and then learn to write, and have good experience to write down, so why use oral transmission, which is easy to lose, to inherit it. ”

Zhang Xiaobao also thought about it, he knew that in the past, knowing words may not be nothing, everyone will, but now here, not all people have the opportunity, for example, some families have a problem with eating, where can I have money to buy pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other things? It is impossible to learn things without paying a penny, what does the teacher eat?

Wang Juan also understands the importance of knowledge, it lies in the inheritance, many folk good recipes, just because they don't know how to read, can't write, word of mouth, in the end they are lost in history, no one will remember.

"Okay, I agree, anyway, I don't need them to pay for it, just follow the study, and when they gradually trust the master more much, I will teach them physics and chemistry, no need for you, I know you won't, you can help me find all kinds of experimental supplies."

"Well, I really won't, I haven't received an orthodox education, and now I know that that kind of education is really not ordinary, twelve years of compulsory education, which is more powerful than nine years, and belongs to the growth of society as a whole." Zhang Xiaobao had to admit that education plays a role in improving the quality of the people.
