Chapter 217: Elder Xu
The house in the Zhuangzi is big enough, so that the two groups of people can disperse without meeting and do not disturb each other, although many of them are innocent and innocent, and it is not good to live together without a name, but it is better than spending Chinese New Year's Eve with other people's fathers.
Zhou Shaoyu planned it, and he took Li Qingzhao, Wan Qiaoqiao, Bian Min, and Chen Shuozhen, who had never been officially admitted to the door, to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with the four tigers of the Zhou family, and the other women spent it together.
As for the subsequent New Year's Eve, they are all in the same house anyway, and it is not a mess, and it is not troublesome, you can walk back and forth without delay on both sides.
Besides, there are also benefits to buying Zhuangzi, Zhou Shaoyu brought not many seeds, and it was a dream to promote them on a large scale immediately, and let the tenants in Zhuangzi plant them in the spring of next year, and go back to spend money to buy food in exchange.
"Dad, second uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle." As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Shaoyu took the initiative to summon it, it may be the sequelae of the previous crossing of that meeting, as soon as he saw these four and thought of the title of the Four Tigers of the Zhou family, he inexplicably had the urge to cover his face.
Although the New Year is coming soon, Huang Renjie attaches great importance to the Shangyuan Festival in ten days, and has long begun to grasp public security, positive atmosphere, and the Zhou family brothers are also in important positions in Wu County, and they are not light, that is, they can rest for a day on Chinese New Year's Eve, and then they have to be busy.
At this time, it is estimated that they have just come back from work, and they are sitting lazily and resting.
"The eldest nephew is here, tsk, the fourth uncle can envy you, that gentle countryman......" Thursday Mountain raised his eyebrows and quipped.
"Ahem, fourth, the elders should have the appearance of an elder, what is this like." The second child coughed lightly and said.
Zhou Dashan didn't speak, smiled at Zhou Shaoyu, nodded, and was very pleased with his baby's appearance.
"That Zhuangzi bought it, it just so happened that Lao Zhao had already sold the property almost, and he was in a hurry to return to his hometown for the New Year, and the location of the Zhuangzi was not very good, so he sold it at a low price." Wednesday Mountain went straight to the point, and felt some land fits from his arms.
"It's good that everything goes well, this Zhuangzi is useful, and the third uncle is really neat." Zhou Shaoyu praised, took the title deed and took a look. In addition to cultivating more grains, this Zhuangzi has other great uses, but it will not be used for a while.
At this time, Zhou Dashan spoke, and sighed: "We are all big and coarse, we can't clean up such a big house, let your daughter-in-law bring some personal hands to take a look, the pocket that should be picked, the purchase that should be purchased, our Zhou family has suffered for so many years, and it is time to have a prosperous New Year, come to me, this house is good to buy, with a house, I feel that I have roots in my heart." ”
Zhou Shaoyu smiled bitterly when he heard it, Zhou Dashan This is a small farmer who has not let go of his thoughts, he must have a house and a land, and his heart can be steady, the problem is that Zhou Shaoyu has no intention of being a big landlord.
Looking at the other three, Tuesday Shan was expressionless, and he didn't know what he was thinking, Wednesday Shan shook his head slightly and looked at him, obviously disapproving, speaking of which the third uncle has become more and more ambitious.
And the old man is surrounded by four mountains, he rubbed his palms and said: "This house is there, but it doesn't mean no, I said big nephew, when can I marry a daughter-in-law?" ”
Zhou Shaoyu rolled his eyes, you still think about it.
Without waiting for Zhou Shaoyu to reply, Zhou Shan spoke, and said, "Look at your little bit of interest, what are you anxious about, as long as you can make a name for yourself, are you afraid that there will be no woman?" If you are in a hurry, you go to the kiln, our Zhou family is not short of these money now, it is easy to marry a daughter-in-law now, God knows if it is reliable or not, don't forget what we are going to do, thinking about women all day long, sooner or later it will be bad, you have to change this. ”
Zhou Shaoyu almost didn't give a thumbs up to Zhou Shan, he is a junior, some things are not easy to say, if Zhou Zhou Shan is always like this, it is indeed likely to be planted in a woman.
This will be Zhou Dashan smiled bitterly, but he forgot his son's big ambition, and the four brothers also agreed, but they said that if you have a house, you will have roots, which is really contradictory.
Thursday Mountain's face was bitter, and he said: "Aren't we the boss and not small, how do you say that, life is short for fifty years, and more than thirty years have passed, and you are still single, can you not be in a hurry, I will pack the ticket, as long as I can find a daughter-in-law, I will be allowed to change." ”
When he said this, everyone shook their heads, and it was strange to believe him.
Zhou Shaoyu can see that the four brothers of the Zhou family, the cheap father is currently very conservative, and his ability is limited, and it is difficult to entrust major events. Tuesday Mountain, with his rigorous temperament, can do a lot, but it is still a little hot, but fortunately, now it has also been affected and has begun to learn words.
Wednesday Mountain is the most ambitious, and he is also the first to recognize his own shortcomings and start to learn words, his mind is smart enough, and he is also a good hand at communicating with people, and there are many shortcomings, but over time, he can definitely be entrusted with important tasks.
As for the fourth child, he always doesn't have a decent appearance, which is really uneasy, it's too easy to deal with him, he doesn't need to use his brain, just use a beauty trick to ensure that everything leaks out.
Hey, so there is a shortage of talents, especially trustworthy talents.
Just thinking like this, an old voice came from outside the gate and called: "A few masters, someone came to the county government outside the house, saying that the county order called a few masters to discuss matters." ”
Zhou Shaoyu was stunned, the house where the four tigers of the Zhou family lived was not big, and there were no people, how could an old man come out of a good manner, and call them masters.
Wednesday Mountain was the first to react, as soon as he heard the voice, he stood up directly, and the next moment he helped a white-haired old man into the house, and said in his mouth: "Xu Lao, I have told you that I have not returned, you are talented and learned, our brothers are all big and coarse, you should not be called master, you live here in peace, if you feel embarrassed, let's worship you as your godfather, even if you change your surname to Xu Ducheng, I am your son, give you a pension, okay?" ”
The other three brothers also quickly stood up, serving tea and water, and had no objection to Zhou Sanshan's words at all.
Zhou Shaoyu saw that it was called a rarity, in Daliang, it is normal for children of the same clan to pass over, but the surname will not change, under normal circumstances, no one wants to change the surname, after all, it means changing an ancestor.
Thinking about it slightly, thinking of the reward he suddenly received in the Ming Dynasty, Zhou Shaoyu somewhat understood who it was. Without waiting for the introduction, he directly bowed down and said respectfully: "The boy Zhou Shaoyu has seen Xu Gong, forgive the boy for his courage, dare to ask Xu Gong if he was an official in the court?" ”
The four tigers of the Zhou family were stunned for a moment, they only knew that this was a learned person, and they could ask him a little bit about a lot of things, but they didn't know that they were still officials who were begging for bones.
The old man surnamed Xu smiled bitterly directly, waved his hand, and said: "I can't deserve the word 'gong', it's already in the past, it's old, it's useless, if it wasn't for being rescued by your wife Zhou Li, I'm afraid this old life would be gone directly." ”
Although Zhou Shaoyu affirmed the identity of this person, but it was really confirmed, he was a little puzzled, even if he had already become a official, he had been an official anyway, no matter how his family background was, it was definitely okay, how could he be mixed like this.
