MTL - Rebirth Married The Control Group Fulang-Chapter 51
Zhang Fangyuan chose a day to go to the county government office to approve the formalities. The people in the government office are busy summarizing the collection of taxes in advance. Records, after he performed well, he didn't make things difficult for him in his busy schedule, and the land was approved in a hurry.
It's just that the master book taught him a bit, so that in the future, if he opens a shop to cooperate with the county government's errands, it's best to pay the taxes by himself every quarter, and don't let the county government send people to urge them over and over again.
Zhang Fangyuan promised in every possible way.
In fact, in places like the side of the official road, there are often people who build some sheds and stalls to do something, such as setting up a stall and withdrawing it at any time, but those who have built a shed must report to the county government. Yes, but there are also many people who refuse to go to the county government to report and are criticized, and refuse to pay commercial taxes.
But Zhang Fangyuan no longer has such signs. With Xu He, he has become a lot more honest. After all, he is still serious about business and business.
But it’s not to blame for the dishonesty of the people. In some counties, the county government is not a man and wants to get land approval. If you don’t invite wine and banquets, give gifts and money, you will run four or five times, and the county government will not even see anyone.
Ordinary people who just want to start a small business, how can they bear these hardships, and they have to pay high taxes after being approved.
Fortunately, the county magistrate of Siyang City is still fair and clear, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment without showing any misdeeds.
After completing the formalities, he went to Wangfeng grocery store to pick up Xu He. Today he came to the city to buy kitchen utensils.
The carriage stopped on the side of the road, and the man came out with two bundles of pots and utensils. Although the outside was wrapped with sackcloth, the pottery bowls inside could still be seen.
Another iron pot, colander, soup ladle, ladle... a series of them were put in the pot and carried out. Zhang Fangyuan couldn’t name all these kitchen utensils, just like Xu He couldn’t recognize all the iron utensils in his house. Same with knives.
He couldn't get in the conversation either, and stood guard in front of the cart with his arms folded. Xu He counted things before getting on the cart: "It's all ready."
Without waiting for him to ask, Xu He said, "It cost six hundred cash in total, and the iron pot is the most expensive."
Zhang Fangyuan knew that iron products were expensive, but the half-cart's pot cost more than 600 yuan and it was worth it. In short, Xu He couldn't afford to buy it.
"How about it, did the people in the county government make things difficult for you?" Xu He was worried that Zhang Fangyuan's violent temper would not be able to do things in the government office. You can go by yourself.
Zhang Fangyuan said that it would be quick to do things separately, so he went by himself.
"Don't worry, it's done. I've been in business for so long, and I know it well."
Xu He tilted his head suspiciously: "It's no wonder you know how to count, but I scolded the guest a while ago."
"He was looking for scolding on purpose. He agreed which piece of meat to choose and let it be cut up. After cutting it, he didn't want it. Even if he opened the door to do business, he didn't want to be bullied."
"Okay, don't be angry." Xu He took out a couple of coins from his pocket, and ordered a piece of sweet ice from the ice stand by the roadside: "To cool off the heat."
Zhang Fangyuan reined in his horse and pointed to the Xiaobing stand: "I want the one with pears in it."
The vendor put the sweet ice back and took the one with pears instead: "One for three."
Zhang Fangyuan looked at Xu He and motioned him to buy it.
Xu He gritted his teeth, and added another article: This prodigal **** is used to kicking his nose and face.
He took the ice from the vendor and stuffed it into Zhang Fangyuan's mouth: "They all have the same taste, so I have to eat this expensive one."
Zhang Fangyuan grinned at Bing's teeth, but couldn't help laughing.
The two of them didn't go back to the village first, but went directly to the tea shed. After six or seven days, the shed was roughly formed, with four walls behind it and a roof on top.
Zhang Fangyuan went in and found that the inside was still very lively. His fourth uncle Zhang Shicheng came over today.
"I happened to be out of the village to do some errands, so I stopped by to help."
Zhang Shicheng was very satisfied with the tea shed built, which was the same as the one built by himself.
"I called my aunt Xiaomao that night, let's have dinner with me today." Zhang Fangyuan said to his fourth uncle, and looked back at the two brothers of the Chen family.
"to make."
Everyone didn't hesitate, and agreed readily.
Zhang Fangyuan said: "Then I'll take my things home and let Brother He cook."
Xu He heard the words outside, came in to say hello to Zhang Shicheng, and went back with Zhang Fangyuan. Although there was a sudden call for customers, Xu He didn't worry about having nothing to cook at night, so he just took the meat from Zhang Fangyuan's stall. Stir-frying and cooking were all things that villagers could easily get their hands on.
It's a pity that Zhang Fangyuan smacked. He didn't buy two fish in the city. Not to mention the cheapness in the afternoon, it's easy to cook. There are still fat sausages left for sale. It would be beautiful to cook a pot of fish with fat sausages.
The sun went down, and we set up a table in the yard to eat, and it didn't feel too hot.
Xu He said: "It's a beautiful idea." He also promised that when the tea shed was built, it would be a meal.
The two returned home in a happy mood. The carriage had just reached the road outside the house, and they saw his fourth aunt He Shi waiting outside from a long distance away.
Seeing them coming back, they went directly to greet them without waiting outside the yard.
"Where's your fourth uncle? Can you see it?"
"At the end of the tea shed, come back later. It happened that I was going to call my aunt over for supper."
But He raised his eyebrows, put his hands together and said, "Your second aunt is back."
Zhang Fangyuan hesitated for a moment: "Why did Hao Shengsheng come back suddenly? I didn't come back when I wrote to get married."
He said: "She married far away, and it's not uncommon for the time to be inappropriate. Now I come back to see my relatives. I also said that it's a coincidence that I asked your fourth uncle to come back earlier."
"Where is the second aunt now?"
"It's at your uncle's house."
Zhang Fangyuan nodded, it seemed that they would not be able to eat dinner at their house tonight, so he went into the yard to unload his things, leaving only Xiao Hei: "Then I will go and pick up Uncle Si." He said to the two brothers of the Chen family by the way .
"Okay." Mrs. He helped move the pots and pans into the house.
Xu He didn't have a deep impression of Zhang Fangyuan's second aunt. In the past, the Zhang family was a well-off family in the village. Naturally, everyone was more concerned about such a family, and there were more gossips on weekdays.
When he was young, he had never met Zhang Fangyuan, the second aunt, and had already married to another county, and he didn't know why. In short, the marriage in the village is not clear at all. Not everyone is lucky enough to marry nearby, and most of them marry far away.
After Zhang Fangyuan picked up his fourth uncle and came back, all of them went to the house of uncle Zhang Shixin. It was very lively at the other end, with most of Zhang's family gathered, only Uncle Zhang did not come.
"The last time I came back to my hometown was the funeral of the fifth child. Now it's been many years, and I have married and started a business far away."
Xu He went into the courtyard with Zhang Fangyuan, and saw a woman who was not old but had white hair on her temples, stood up from the middle hall, ran out suddenly, and pulled Zhang Fangyuan to look around Eyes, two tears.
Zhang Fangyuan called Second Aunt, and Governor Xu He also called out.
Zhang Sibo looked at his sister, although his emotions were not as straightforward as the woman's expression, but he also frowned.
"It was a pleasure to see you, but why are you tearing up. Come and sit inside."
After Xu He entered the room, he saw a strange little girl inside. She was quite smart, but she was a little thin, with a pointed chin, not like the round face of children of the same age.
He is too familiar with such children, because he was such a thin child when he was a child.
Zhang Fangyuan saw that he had looked at the child a few more times, so he said to Zhang Shiyue, "Second Aunt, is this your Xiao'e?"
Zhang Shiyue gently pushed the little girl forward: "Xiao'e, call me cousin."
The little girl was timid, looking at Zhang Fangyuan's ferocious appearance, she was even more frightened, and subconsciously wanted to hide behind Zhang Shiyue, but she still listened to her mother's words, and walked forward with her lips pursed, calling out to her cousin in a low voice.
"How old are you? It's the first time I've seen you. She looks like Second Aunt."
"Twelve years old."
Zhang Shiyue glanced at her daughter, and couldn't help frowning. She was obviously not too young, but she looked like a little girl who was only seven or eight years old.
Zhang Fangyuan wanted to ask a few more questions, but Xu He pulled him away: "Don't scare the children."
Zhang Fangyuan laughed aloud: "Okay."
Zhang Shiyue glanced at Xu He again, she was tall and in good shape, she smiled and said to Zhang Fangyuan: "A Yuan, you are lucky to marry such a good brother."
"That's natural. It's a pity that the second aunt didn't come back for a drink a few months ago. This time, I have to go and have fun and stay for two days." Zhang Fangyuan cheekily pulled Xu He to him: "We He My brother is very skilled, and now we are preparing to open a tea shed on the official road."
A smile floated on Zhang Shiyue's face when she heard the words: "Okay, Ah Yuan is sensible now."
Xu He let Zhang Fangyuan talk to his second aunt in the room, and he took the initiative to go to the kitchen to cook with his uncle's aunt and sister-in-law.
Xiaomao ran around the house, wanting to play with a girl who was about his own age. The little girl kept hiding in front of Zhang Shiyue, and it was difficult for him to go forward, so he followed Xu He's buttocks to help fold vegetables.
Xu He took a look at what to eat tonight while helping to cook the fire. Her aunt said that she would eat tofu curds and cook a piece of bacon outside, and there would be no other meat dishes.
He felt a little strange, he had heard from Zhang Fangyuan that his uncle's family had always been very generous and talkative to the outside world, but he was very stingy with his own house, so he didn't have much contact with him on weekdays.
Today he can be considered to have seen it.
People with two tables in such a big room, although they are from their own family, they don't need to see outsiders, but Zhang Shiyue came back from a long distance, and the number of times he came back after being married for so many years is not many.
Taking advantage of the time when he went out to wash vegetables, he called Zhang Fangyuan to him and whispered a few words.
"The uncle's family is like this. I went back to bring two catties of fresh meat. The second aunt finally went back to her mother's house, so she had to treat her well. What else do you want to bring?"
Xu He said: "Bring the pig's heart, and fry it with scallions, you like it too."
Zhang Fangyuan smiled and said: "Okay."
