The Analects of Righteous Father’s Collapse
Chapter 34 The Widow's No. 1 Champion 2
The lunch for the orphans and widows was very light. Jiangliu didn’t know whether it was because of his family background or his original filial piety period. There was no meat on the table.
Rice mixed with dried potatoes, a plate of green onion mixed with tofu, a plate of dried tofu mixed with green beans and a pickle in a small bowl, this is the Jiang family's meal today.
Looking at such food conditions, Jiang Liu suddenly thought of when he was young, he and his grandfather lived together, and also had to pay off the debt owed to his dad for the funeral. In the most difficult time, the two of them each meal You can only hold half a piece of tofu.
"After dinner, you go back to the house and squint for a while, don't run around, wait for the lady to come back from the mill and bring you a bunch of sugar gourds."
Meng Yunniang eats very fast, Jiang Liu feels that the sweet potato porridge is a bit hot, and she can't get in her mouth, but Meng Yunniang finished the sweet potato porridge in a bowl or two, and when she was eating in the river, she sorted it out and waited for later. Take the beans from the mill and the utensils containing the soy milk.
Seeing that the mother in this world had so many things to do, the rivers did not dare to grind foreign workers. They hurriedly blew the heat from the bowl and finished the small bowl of sweet potato porridge, and they didn't even care about eating.
Ancient men and women had strict defenses. Even mothers and children slept separately from their mothers when their sons were four or five years old, so Jiangliu had her own small room at this time. Meng Yunniang covered her son with a quilt and hurriedly hurriedly After going out, Jiang Liu finally had a quiet and alone time, receiving the memory left by him and checking his mission to come to this world.
*****
This is a dynasty Jin Dynasty that has never appeared in the memory of the river. The current emperor is Jinyang Emperor, and the country's surname is Sikong. It is the fourth emperor of the Jin Dynasty.
More than ten years ago, Jin Guo and the surrounding Qiang countries had a war that took nearly two years. Although Jin Guo finally won, he hit the king capital of Qiang all the way, making Qiang the first to be a champion of Jin Guo in these years. Has become a subsidiary country of the Jin State, but the consumption of this war has seriously damaged the national power of the Jin State. Even if more than ten years have passed, it has not been fully recovered.
In the memory left to Jiang Liu by the original body, that war had recruited many men to go to the frontier to fight at the border, and the final return was less than three-tenths before the war, so Jin Guo appeared a lot after the war. Many widows are vacant due to lack of labor, and it is for this reason that the national strength is restored so slowly.
The administrative system of this dynasty is similar to the combination of the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty in the memory of the river. The country is divided into 16 provinces, and the provinces are divided into prefectures, states, and counties, and 110 households below the county are one mile. Election of one person in the village as the village chief, and the village under the village as the village chief, is the same as the village chief, only appoints Baiding. Generally speaking, the head of the household with the most Dingliang is automatically qualified for the village official.
As the name implies, Jiangjia Village is the settlement of the Jiang family, and the village of Jiangjia Village is also the patriarch of the Jiang family. According to seniority, the original person has to call the other party an uncle.
It is said that the ancestors of the Jiang family used to be personal, but because they didn’t know what was wrong, the whole family moved to this place to avoid misfortune. The elders have a lot of land in this area, but they have been passed down from generation to generation. We were rich before.
The one where the original one belonged did not share much farm produce, but it was assigned to a skill that can eat for a long time-tofu, in order to concentrate the wealth as much as possible, the ancestors stipulated that this skill can only be passed on to the eldest son. The eldest son died prematurely, leaving his children and grandchildren, and then passed on his skills to his grandchildren.
As a compensation, other children and grandchildren can get more farm produce and cash.
When the original father separated, the original father received six acres of land plus the ancestral home where they live, but the money was not much, and the original uncle, his father's brother, was divided. Fifteen acres of field, plus thirty-two silver.
Although they do not have a skill to eat for a long time, those fields and silver are enough to keep them stable.
After the original separation, the two were well-watered and did not violate the river. The original uncle Jiang Erchun felt that he had suffered a loss. He hated this big brother and was not willing to come to the house every New Year. If the original father is still alive, maybe the two In this way, it gradually calmed down, and the children and grandchildren no longer have contact, but who would have thought that a cold wind took the life of the original father, then the original body will also be six years old, leaving Liangtian ancestral home and a craft that can make money The other Jiang family members naturally stared at the orphans and widows.
In particular, Jiang Erchun and Su Panyun and his wife wanted to immediately take over the property left by their elder brother.
During that time, the Jiang family was very lively. Someone came to the door all the time, not to mourn his father Jiang Dachun, but to get the idea of playing the Jiang family's property.
Fortunately, Meng Yunniang was able to survive. She knew that she was a widow, and it was difficult for her to keep her fortune. She found the patriarch and the uncle of the village, and said that her husband had a last word and said that his wife and children had to be troubled by the family. Take care of it, so I am willing to cultivate the six acres of the family by the clan. I only hope that the village can provide the rations required by the mother and son before the son’s river flow. When the son becomes an adult, the title deed will be transferred to the clan, and the family will have some .
At that time, Jiang Dachun's illness was almost speechless. Where could there be such a last words, this so-called last word is actually Meng Yunniang's decision after consideration.
First of all, she could not cultivate the six acres of land in her home by a woman. Instead of deserting those fields, it would be better to give some benefits to the tribe.
As for the six acres of land that belong to the family when the son becomes an adult, in fact it belongs to the line of the patriarch. For the sake of benefit, the patriarch will also take care of their mother and son. After all, it is really like the wish of Jiang Erchun and Su Panyun. The field won't reach the patriarch.
As for their mother and son, they have a little tofu craft. Before her son becomes a woman, she will surely be able to save money to buy land and buy a new family property for her son.
Meng Yunniang's mind is sober, she understands that the ground is dead, and the craft is alive, as long as the craft and son are preserved, it is worthwhile to sacrifice something.
Sure enough, all the troublesome people stopped after the village meddling, and Jiang Erchun and Su Panyun and the couple also made troubles from time to time.
Because of the six acres of land given, the orphans and widows had a comfortable life for a period of time, but there were many right and wrong in front of the widow. Although Meng Yunniang stood upright, there are still people who gossip and talk about the right and wrong, plus she grows like that A face, even if she hadn't thought about remarrying, there were countless mad bees and waves butterflies coming, and the stewards that Jiang Liu saw this morning were one of them.
As for Hu Guirong mentioned in Su Panyun's mouth, Jiang Liu also found the identity of the other party from the memory of the original person. The man was the hunter over Meng Yun’s maiden’s house. It is said that before Meng Yun’s maiden married Jiang’s family Zeng and Hu Guirong fell in love with each other, only because the Meng family took a fancy to the Jiang family's money and forced their daughter to marry the Jiang family, and the couple was separated.
Now Meng Yunniang is already the mother of a six-year-old child, and Hu Guirong has never married again. Everyone said that he can't forget Meng Yunniang and has been keeping it.
But he didn't know much about the origin of his mother's love, and he was not so impressed even with the memories of his childhood.
He only remembered that when he was about to enter the school when he was seven years old, there was a big event in his family, which almost killed his mother's life. Finally, this matter ended with Meng Yunniang scratching her face.
Because of the lack of a glamorous face, the peachy news surrounding the widow finally ceased. No one believed that there would be men willing to have sex with such ugly and ghostly women. The family finally believed that Meng Yunniang would guard the dead husband. Start to actively maintain the orphans and widows.
That memory is particularly profound. The original body seems to have grown up from that day. He studies hard and wants to be a respected existence like the master of the person, because he knows that he can only serve himself when he grows up and has the ability. My mother kisses the wind and the rain.
Meng Yunniang is a tough woman. The disfiguring experience didn’t seem to deal much to her. After the wound healed, she continued to sell tofu to sell in the market, earning money for her son’s education and paying more attention to her son than before. Too.
During this period, Hu Guirong, who had a relationship with Meng Yunniang, would still appear in the lives of mother and son.
One winter, Hu Guirong braved the heavy snow and went into the mountains. When he came out of the mountains, he was covered with scars, and dragged a dead mother insect. Leaning on the skin of the big insect, he earned hundreds of dollars. The money of his family, for a time, he continued to talk to his relatives, but Hu Guirong refused all. He used the money to set up a shop in Fang City and began to change jobs to become a butcher selling meat. Bring the meat over and exchange the tofu with Meng Yunniang.
It wasn't until the original man in his 20s took the exam that he moved with his mother to Fucheng, and the other party did not marry again.
Jiang Liu does not know whether Meng Yunniang still has affection for the man, because she never talks about the man with her son, but at the end of her life, she cried and said to her son that she was sorry for a man in her life. Knowing who she was talking about, Jiang Liu felt that the sorry man in Meng Yun's mouth might be Hu Guirong who had never married again.
