Chapter 261: Hua Family(2/2)
Hua Rou is on this team.
He is the third of three brothers.
They are also the worst offenders. The whole family is working as tenant farmers for Mr. Liu from Liujiabao, and they don’t even have their own land.
On the contrary, it is the eldest and the second two.
The eldest family covered the hilltop and planted mulberry trees.
The second child's family started a small business and knew the unique skill of making pickles, and their life was better than that of the third child's family.
"You're welcome."
"My name is Hua Heng. I come from Yunquan Village, so I count as your great-uncle."
"Right now, there are bandits in Yunquan Village. Everyone is dead, and I am the only one who ran out."
"I'm old, and it's almost autumn now. I have no place to go. I thought that there is a branch of Yunquanzhai in Liujiabao. I couldn't write two Chinese characters in one sentence, so I came to join you."
Arrive at Hua Rou’s house.
Zhang Heng's face didn't turn red, his heart didn't beat, and in just a few words, he transformed himself into a distant relative of the Hua family.
"this..."
When Hua Rou's parents heard this, they quickly called the other two families to discuss the matter.
Not long after.
The three families with the Hua surname in Liujiabao gathered together.
When they heard that something happened in Yunquan Village, everyone sighed.
But when I heard that Zhang Heng had come to join them, and saw that he was old and frail and looked like a beggar, the look on his face immediately changed.
"Although I can't write two Chinese characters in one stroke, our three families with the Chinese surname Liujiabao moved out of Yunquanzhai a hundred years ago."
"It's true that our last name is Hua, but when it comes to kissing each other, we haven't moved around for a hundred years, so how can we kiss each other?"
The eldest family looked disgusted and said evasively: "Everyone's life is not easy at the moment. There is an earthen kiln in the east. You can live in it after you clean it up. I will send someone to send five kilograms of rice later. If there is more, it will be gone."
"
After hearing this, the second child's family also said: "My family still has ten kilograms of millet left over from last year. I will give it to you later. If you mix some wild vegetables with it, it will be enough for a month. If you tell me, it won't count."
We forgot our relatives."
I heard that neither the eldest nor the second family wanted to take care of Zhang Heng, a cheap relative.
Hua Rou's father was also ready to speak: "I..."
"Old uncle, if you don't mind, you can stay at my house."
Before her father could speak, Hua Rou spoke first.
Hearing her words, the eldest brother and the second child all looked happy: "From the third child's family, let's settle it. My uncle will live in your house."
"I, this..."
Hua Rou's father looked unwilling.
His family's life was the worst, and there was no food left to support Zhang Heng, his so-called great uncle.
Before she could shirk him, Hua Rou stopped him: "Father, you often say that we should put filial piety first. My old uncle is lonely and has nowhere to go. Now he has come to join us. If we let him live in the east of the village,
How should others view us?"
After that, he said: "Let my uncle live here. My daughter has gone to the mountains to pick mushrooms and wild vegetables these days. She also went to the town to exchange some money. I won't let you worry too much about my uncle's affairs."
Speaking of which.
Although Hua's father was still reluctant, considering his daughter's tenacity to throw herself into the river at every turn, he could only grit his teeth and agree.
then.
Zhang Heng then settled down in the name of the great uncle of the Hua family.
evening...
Hua Rou's mother came to Zhang Heng and said, "Uncle, we are going to cook in a moment. The well is at the entrance of the street. You can go get some water and wash the rice."
Zhang Heng refused: "I'm old, my legs and feet are not good, I can't do the work of carrying water."
After a while.
The water is brought.
Hua Rou's mother looked at Zhang Heng and saw him sitting motionless in the yard, and said, "Uncle, there is no firewood for cooking yet. The firewood is in the backyard. Go and chop some firewood."
Zhang Heng still refused: "I'm old and have no strength anymore. I can't do the work of chopping firewood."
Mother Hua was filled with anger.
After dinner in the evening, I couldn't help complaining to Hua's father: "This old uncle is a relative who came from who knows where. He can't carry water or chop firewood. He can't chop wood. He makes me do all the work."
, I have to eat three big bowls in one meal, how will I live from now on?"
When Hua's father heard this, he hummed and said, "I'll talk to my uncle tomorrow."
Hua's mother turned over and lay down, muttering: "What evil did I do in my previous life? I married a coward like you. I didn't even eat two ounces of meat all year round, and I still have to suffer from this cowardice."
