Zhou Si was startled, and whispered, "Xiaoshu is not that kind of person..."
"What are you talking about?" Uncle Tuesday shuddered.
"No, no!" Zhou Si said in a shock and quickly said: "I, my uncle, I have heard everything you said, I will pay attention in the future! I... I won't provoke her!"
Uncle Tu's face eased down on Tuesday, and Wen Yan said: "That's right! We are not easy to walk along the way. If you can't bear it, you will make a conspiracy. Don't lose yourself because of being small. You should understand this truth."
"I understand, Uncle Tuesday." Zhou Si's eyes darkened slightly, and his voice slowly lowered.
Uncle Tuesday also sighed softly, picked up the axe on the ground, quietly treated the branches and vines, and then carried the two trees down the mountain one after another.
Zhou Siran never went to Lu Xiaoshu and borrowed something from the Lu family. Uncle Zhou came out.
Lu Xiaoshu went back and breathed out for a while, and in a blink of an eye, he was left aside, paying attention to the two paintings owed by Lin Jiajinzhai. When I am free, I follow my mother and my aunt to prepare for the New Year, and occasionally slip out to play with Lin Fang and Zhou Yuan for a while.
In the twelfth lunar month, the weather is colder and the taste of the year is stronger. Every family is busy preparing for the New Year. Reserve firewood and charcoal, clean the house and yard from the inside and out, and rush to buy some new furniture, new clothes, shoes and socks, and delicious snacks and dried fruits during the New Year. Everyone is happy, the whole village There is a strong flavor of the year.
However, the villagers have to celebrate the New Year, and many others have to celebrate the New Year.
Those who are not related to the villagers will not say anything, but there is a group of people who are very related, that is, the catchers in the county government.
Seeing that the New Year is coming, as usual, the catchers in the government office in the county will work hard to get to the countryside. The village is difficult and difficult. The village finds faults and finds faults. year. As the name implies, call this a routine security check!
The villagers are naturally disgusted and resentful of their behavior, but since ancient times the people have not fought against officials, even if they put a villain in their hearts and formed a sieve, they still have a flattering satisfaction.
Dare to confront them? Then wait for the bad luck!
On this day, there were still four arresters who came to Maple Leaf Village wearing official uniforms, high-hats, and swords.
Someone from afar saw it and yelled, "Come! Coming!" and ran to the village. Everyone knew what was happening, and at the same time, one heart was loosened while secretly scolding.
Every year, only after these people come, will everyone really relax and feel at ease to prepare for the New Year. Because it means that the last hurdle at the end of this year has finally passed.
In the past, the catchers would still find an excuse to make a shame. Now everyone is familiar with each other, and they are in a state of "you know" each other, and even no excuses. The four catchers swaggered into the village and went straight to their home.
Lizheng has received a report and has prepared a good tea waiting for reception. Seeing that they were here, they hurried to the door with a smile, and after a brief greeting, they handed over the red envelopes that had been prepared.
This is also a new rule formed in the past two or three years. In the past, it used to be harvesting chicken, duck, fish, radish, cabbage, fine wine, and so on. Now it is discounted! I used to walk from house to house, but now I just come here and just collect money.
As for how to share Li Zheng afterwards, I am sorry, it has nothing to do with them!
However, this year has been a big drought, and the big guys have a hard time. In April and May next year, when the seasons are green and blue, I don’t know how many people will live by drinking wild vegetable porridge-maybe not even wild vegetable porridge!
Therefore, this year, after discussing it, the big guy unanimously cut the share, only half of last year!
Even my own family is going to be hungry. Who can take care of others? The courage is naturally greater.
The leading catcher smiled and took the red envelopes with a smile. It was convenient and convenient to go to the hut under the pretext. By the way, the red envelopes were taken apart and his face changed. It's not so easy to speak when I come back.
The other three were also very upset when they saw the amount he quietly gestured.
In other words, their family has also experienced a drought, and they may not be able to raise prices in the coming year. They are also waiting for money. Don't rely on picking from the villagers and let them find them? So a little salary, is it enough?
The four people are familiar with the public for a long time, and they are in a good mood, and they are both hard and soft, two-pronged, and full-mouthed offensive.
However, although Li Zheng is a little bit greedy, but this matter is not greedy-this year's situation is special!
He couldn’t resist and didn’t dare to agree to the villagers, so he bitterly said good things and asked for the four arrests, indicating that he could gather the people from the village, and asked several arresters to tell the villagers themselves.
Where would the four catchers willingly agree? But Li Zheng was not a vain for most of his life. He was so slick, and he had a bit of a heavy burden in his mouth. He turned his corners and expressed his meaning very skillfully: you are probably afraid of the guilty of the villagers, so they pushed me forward. Right?
As soon as the four arrests were affected by his aggressive method, they nodded and agreed.
Li was just relieved, and he jumped up immediately with a spring under his butt, and laughed with a laugh: "The old and the dared don't dare to delay the work of the poor masters, so let's talk to everyone!" Instructed his son to lead four servants.
At this time, the four catchers realized that they were cunning afterwards, but the words had been exported to the face, but they had no choice but to pretend to hum.
The villagers heard that the iron bell hanging from the big tree in the middle of the village was hurriedly ringing, and today they saw the four arresters entering the village with their own eyes, and immediately thought of this matter.
This matter is closely related to everyone's vital interests. Everyone is naturally concerned. When the bell "Dang Dang Dang" sounded like a sudden shower, all the hearts jumped with madness. When they arrived, they all ran to the big locust tree.
The Lu family is no exception.
Many children also followed the run to see the excitement, and Lu Xiaoshu was also involved.
Although Zhou Si lived a little far away from the center of the village, they couldn't hold their ears well. This bell sounded naturally in their ears.
Zhou thought without thinking, immediately lifted his foot and went out.
Uncle Tuesday just called him, and he couldn't help but interrupted: "Second Uncle, since we live in a village now, we should be concerned about things that are self-heating in the village. This is no harm to us! I'll just take a look come back!"
He said that he didn't wait for his objection, and he rushed away in a hurry.
Uncle Tuesday couldn't help but be annoyed and murmured angrily: "This kid, really is--"
"Forget him to go!" Zhou Lao Da smiled slightly, said: "He is right, since we live here, it is no harm to understand what is happening in the village. He is not a child, he knows how to score, no It will be messy."
On Tuesday, Uncle glanced at him, and didn't say anything. He thought that if you knew what he was thinking, you wouldn't say that!
"However," Zhou boss said with a tilt of his head, "I'm rather weird. When did he like to watch lively so much?"
This is a bit decent!
Uncle Tuesday did not explain, but said lightly: "Who said no!"
Zhou Si came under the Dahuai tree, but when people saw a crowd, noisy and noisy, the villagers talked to each other, and their expressions were both tense and uneasy.
Zhou Si only glanced and did not go to his heart. A pair of eyes only searched for the figure of Xiaoshu in the crowd, and finally saw the shadow of wearing a water-red jacket skirt and a braid. Liang, my heart seemed to be suddenly lit up, beckoned several times, "Xiaoshu" did not see her hear, and squeezed over there.
"Xiaoshu!"
Lu Xiaoshu heard this, and when he saw him, he nodded slightly and said, "You are here too!" He turned around and continued to talk to others.
Zhou Si smiled slightly, separating the people next to him, and asked Lu Xiaoshu: "What happened, why ring the bell? Is it the New Year's gift in the village?"
Lu Xiaoshu didn't want to take care of him, and when he heard him saying this, he couldn't help but "sneer" and smiled. He didn't have a good air at first glance: "You think it's beautiful! It's also a New Year Ceremony! Come on!"
"There is such a thing?" Zhou Si looked slightly slack.
Lu Xiaoshu was about to speak, and the crowd suddenly clamored, and everyone said, "Come, come!" She stopped and followed the flow.
Seeing the four catchers walking forward, Zhou Si's eyes were darker.
Li was raising his hands to signal that everyone was quiet, he simply said a few opening remarks, and threw the words to the four arresters.
But before waiting for the four arresters to speak quickly, the impatient villagers yelled and said, "We are going to be hungry next year, where is there extra spare money to hand over? Those paid this year have already been paid for. , The livelihood of the coming year hasn't come to an end yet, is this not to kill people! Unfair, unfair!"
"Yes! Yes!"
"unacceptable!"
"Why doesn't it make sense!"
The crowd clamored, and the four arresters could not help but become angry, and one of them shouted several "silences" to the crowd. They were all submerged by the menacing voice and did not help.
The leader saw that it wasn't a problem. The saber at the waist strode forward and struck the big bell several times. Everyone was startled, remembering the identities of the four people in front of him, and suddenly calmed down.
"What are you arguing about, what are you arguing about? Do you want to rebel?" The leader's gaze glanced through the crowd and sneered: "How many silvers have you turned in this year, and you know what you have in mind, so what do you do? I don’t even think about it. This year, the influx of migrants and the post-disaster reconstruction and countless follow-ups are not over yet. How busy and painstaking we are all day. What do you know? Huh, I’m collecting so little money. Are we in the bag? Not all of them are used for official business in the end, it is you who get the benefit, you know? The money in the yamen is not enough to even run errands and drink bowls of tea. Who are you going with? Do you still have to deal with public security? In case of any thieves, robbers, or illegal activities, you will have no losses? I am afraid that the losses will be even greater! I have heard clearly, and every family will pay one or two more silver, No discussion! Don’t make many excuses with me. There is no cash in your house. You can borrow it or sell things. In short, I’ve got enough of it! I will collect it once a year. If it’s not for local inspection and security management, we I'm too lazy to come here, I thought I was really doing enough for such a little money!"
