Chapter 25 Wang Erlang Returns Home
Wang Ge didn't look at the other party at all and said: "Mom, it's getting hotter and hotter. It's really hard to deliver food back and forth."
Mr. Yao and Mr. Jia stared at Jungu with their hearts in their throats.
Jia Nu: "Then let's change it starting from tomorrow."
Di Si and Si were very happy and exchanged glances.
When returning home in the evening, Jia Concubine took the young Jia family, Wang Ge, and Wang He around to Ge Concubine's house and took a look. The mourning shed was erected on the east side of the courtyard wall, and Wang Ge did not dare to get close to see it.
Ge's family is the poorest in the village. The earthen courtyard is still the most primitive mud structure with thatch mixed in. The debris piled opposite the funeral shed is in a mess, almost higher than the wall. The main house is not visible, and it is located on the side.
The straw mats covering the windows were hanging down and a large piece was rotten; the ground around the courtyard wall was covered with weeds.
Wang He peeped that Wang Ge was lost in thought, so he quietly stepped back, patted her left shoulder, and moved to her right side.
Wang Ge turned back to the right.
Wang He said "hum", but he didn't scare her. It's so boring!
Since this was not a formal visit to express condolences, Jia Nu comforted Ge Nu a few words, politely asked if there was anything he could help with, and then left with Wang Ge and others.
Some were happy and some were sad. After returning, they found that Wang Erlang had just returned home.
Jia's concubine was completely relieved of her worries. She laughed and cried and beat Erlang on the shoulder. Wang He, who was rarely well-behaved, stepped forward and called "Father" coquettishly.
Little Jia looked at her husband through her children. When she saw her husband finally walking towards her, she felt ashamed even though she wanted to speak.
Unexpectedly, Wang Erlang passed by her and said excitedly to Wang Ge: "Age! You have made face for my second uncle! You don't know how envious the servants were when the village officials informed me that I could come back early. They
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk!"
Little Jia said: "If you don't take advantage of your niece, your term of service will soon be over!"
Wang Erlang was disappointed by her and glared at her. Little Jia was visibly trembling. "I, I will help my wife serve the rice."
Wang Ge and Wang Erlang followed Jia Concubine to the main house. Wang Ge said, "Fortunately, my second uncle is back. The pig fat used to make medicine for my eldest father is almost gone. My second uncle will go to the countryside tomorrow to cut three liters and come back."
Wang Erlang staggered: What happened?
Three liters of pig fat?! Is the total amount of pig fat that your family has eaten over the years enough for three liters?
After a while, Jia Gui took the money back from Erlang's hand and stuffed it back into the bottom of the box.
"It's always... It's really money!" Wang Erlang smelled the remaining money in his hand and felt dizzy as if he was still dreaming. "Is this really a reward from the countryside for A Ge?"
"How can you not! This is a reward for you!" Wang Weng rolled his eyes at the hopeless Er'er.
Wang Yun stayed close to her elder father, smiled, and hid in the crook of his shoulder.
Wang Dalang listened with his ears bent, and his smile became a little thicker.
Wang Erlang was embarrassed and quickly changed the subject: "I will go to the countryside tomorrow morning and I will definitely be back before dark."
Wang Ge: "Let's ask around to see who is driving to the countryside tomorrow, so that my second uncle doesn't have to walk."
"What's the point of worrying about walking on the sidewalk? I'm used to walking on it, and I won't take a ride if there's a car!"
Jia Gui came up with an idea: "How about I ask Zhang Hu? His A Cang learns crafts from A Ge, rides on his ox cart, and doesn't haul goods. Why does he have the nerve to ask for labor money?"
Wang Ge: "Dad, eldest mother, aunt, second uncle, I was just about to tell you this. Some time ago, I taught anyone who came to learn a craft because I was anxious to use the materials to practice, but I can't do this anymore.
"We have good intentions when the children in the village learn to weave from me, but if they learn for one or two years and fail to pass the examination as craftsmen, or even fail to get a spot as craftsmen, will they be ungrateful and blame us?"
Wang Weng understood it first and told Jia Concubine: "In the future, you are not allowed to brag about Age outside! If anyone comes to learn a craft, no matter what they give, we are not allowed to be greedy. And make it clear to them first that it is not easy to be a craftsman.
, it’s just luck that Age got into the exam.”
He hesitated for a moment and added: "The young man from the Zhang family is a close neighbor. If you can't push him away, forget it. Age will no longer accept apprentices until he is admitted to the craftsmanship!"
Wang Ge nodded: "My father is right, that's what I mean. Anyone who really wants to learn should come with enough materials. We won't chase them away, but don't accept their stuff either. Otherwise they won't be able to do anything when they get there.
, let’s rely on me again! Let me talk big words and encourage them to learn knitting.”
Jia Gu was so angry that she seemed to have seen someone relying on her family: "We are really kind-hearted. They are stupid, so they still rely on me? Where can they reason?"
Suddenly, the old couple and Wang Ge looked at Wang Erlang at the same time. The latter was so ashamed that he quickly promised: "I will control the bride's mouth! I will also make it clear to my third brother!"
It’s not that Wang Ge is overly speculating on people’s hearts, but given the conditions in Jiashe Village, ordinary farmers simply cannot take the path of being a craftsman!
Take this year's carpenter category, which has a quota of 100 craftsmen. You have to choose one of the seven craftsmen! Once you are over ten years old and fail to pass the exam, this path will be ruined!
Will the villagers have no complaints then?
They only saw that Wang Ge could pass the exam, so they thought that the craftsman exam was just that. Who knew that she was reincarnated with skills!
So it doesn’t matter if you learn skills, you must not accept gifts at home!
The next day, Wang Erlang left home with thirty dollars in his pocket. He was worried all the way. Whenever there was any disturbance, he was afraid that someone would come out to steal the money. He didn't know that his sneaky appearance would be seen by others.
Just like a thief.
These thirty dollars were taken out by Jia Guo from the five hundred dollars she had saved before. The old man had a very strange idea. He always felt that the money was complete. Even if he spent one dollar and made up for it later, it would not be complete.
.
The eldest mother talked about her reasoning on the road, and Wang Ge agreed: "You must not break this money, you must keep it to buy cattle!"
"That's right, that's right!"
Only then did Mr. Yao know that Uncle Jun's medicine had to be boiled with pig fat. The more he listened to it, the more his heart ached, as if he had been gouged out with a knife!
Thirty dollars! I bought it all into pig fat and boiled it into medicine! Oh my God! Why don’t you get retribution?
Zhang Hu's family has caught up, and they have to walk together for a while.
Zhang Cai asked Wang Ge in a low voice: "You have already been admitted as a craftsman, why are you allowed to farm?"
"I can't find time these days to go into the wild mountains to cut bamboo, and the work in the fields isn't waiting for anyone, so I definitely have to contribute."
"That's right. Alas, my mother thinks I'm lazy, so I will have to farm every day from now on."
Do you think you are lazy? Wang Ge didn't want to be alone with him, so he kept close to his eldest mother.
Zhang Cai's mother-in-law, Sun, was also married from Shatun. She motioned to Yao to step aside and asked, "Does your aunt have any intention of marrying your niece?"
Mrs. Yao was still distressed about the thirty dollars, and said angrily: "Auntie prefers to have a married woman, I don't dare to ask!"
"She has no mother. You are her aunt. Isn't it normal to ask? By the way, I will go back to Shatun in a few days. If you want to take something to your parents' house, just tell me."
Mrs. Yao smiled happily and began to make plans secretly.
Jia Huai and Zhang Cai's eldest mother Wei Wei were discussing the day they would go to Ge Huai's house to express their condolences. As they were talking, they digressed and began to whisper that Jia Huai's bride was young and would definitely remarry. Ge Huai had a very violent temper.
There might be a commotion at that time.
Wang Ge listened to the gossip with interest, but regretted that the two families were not in the same land, so they soon parted ways.
Chapter completed!
