The Lazy Man in the Literature of the Time (3)

No matter how confused Aunt Ji was, the family seemed to be having a good time. After eating and taking a rest, it was time to go to work in the fields.

Ji Changze definitely didn't need to go because he had a head injury. After the house was cleaned up, he was the only one left. He just went out and planned to think about what to do.

For hunting, although there are mountains in the village here, there are really not many good things on the mountains. There are no big birds of prey here. People are not afraid of going up the mountains. Before, when they had nothing to eat or drink, a large number of people went up the mountains to hunt. After so long, the animals on the mountains have There was only a little bit left, and he ran away when he saw anyone.

It's still hard to catch.

When it comes to doing business, now is not the most suitable time. The timeline of this world is very fluctuating, but time management is not as strict as when Ji Changze was there before. Although everyone still works together and goes to the fields together, everyone eats their own meals. Home, it’s not like the town doesn’t allow people to buy and sell things privately.

So it is very simple to get rich, it just depends on which path you want to take.

Ji Changze went out for a stroll and reached the river. He happened to see a few children in the village splashing in the water. The adults working in the fields nearby would straighten up and take a look from time to time, fearing that they would go deeper.

There is nothing good in the mountains here. The water is quite deep. Many people in the village know the nature of water. However, there is a large reservoir in the village where the water is too deep. The adults have not allowed children to play there since they were young. I heard that there is water underneath. There are many aquatic plants that are dangerous for feet, and adults themselves are unwilling to go there.

Ji Changze had an idea and spent some effort walking to the reservoir.

In the field, the Ji family was working. A villager followed by two children came: "Ji Laoer, what are you doing at the reservoir? The sun is shining brightly."

Uncle Ji was stunned when he heard this: "Has Nagasawa gone to the reservoir?"

"No, I saw it with my own eyes. The only direction he walked was the reservoir. He was not going there, but somewhere else."

"I don't know either. Today I told you to let Nagasawa rest in the house. Why did this child run to the reservoir?"

Uncle Ji was busy working, but he didn't care much about his nephew. After all, Nagasawa was so old and he was not the kind of child who had to be watched. He might just want to swim in the reservoir, as long as he didn't swim in the deep water area. , just swim if you like.

Aunt Ji, who was also working over there, heard this, and quickly pulled Aunt Ji and said, "Second sister-in-law, look at Nagasawa, we have been working so hard here, but he is doing well and went to play in the water. Not a kid anymore."

Aunt Ji was pulled a little, and she raised her head in confusion: "Why are you playing with water? Nagasawa has a wound on his head. He probably has something wrong with him."

"What can happen? The young man won't do this or that. It's not okay to always be like this..."

Before Aunt Ji could finish her words, Aunt Ji had already continued working with her head down without any concern. Aunt Ji was extremely angry.

Working angrily, she took advantage of her break to run to where her parents' house was.

Her mother was old, but she still came to work in the fields. As soon as the mother and daughter met, Aunt Ji started to complain: "My second brother and sister-in-law, and the one in my family, they are just stupid. It was the same, it was obvious that this nephew was unreliable and unreliable, but they still believed in him and provided him with good food and drink. They gave him all the delicious food at home first. Just now, this kid actually went to play in the reservoir, and no one else did. Something feels wrong.”

Aunt Ji San and her mother were also filled with indignation after hearing this: "I'm telling you, you shouldn't have sent away the fourth and fifth girls in the first place. At least one of them should be kept behind to recruit a son-in-law for you. That nephew of yours is right at first sight. You are unreliable, what will you do when you are old?”

"No."

After holding it in for a day, she finally found someone who spoke the same language as her. Aunt Ji was so excited: "Mom, tell me, what do they think? If Ji Changze doesn't work, they will say that the child is still young, no matter how old he is. , more than 20 years old, at my age, three girls have been born. He doesn’t go to the ground, but my mother-in-law still spoils him. You said that there are so many people in our team, none of them must go to the ground, why doesn’t he go to the ground and earn money? If the work is divided, doesn’t it mean that we keep him in vain?”

"Otherwise, mother will ask your brother to talk to the captain, so that the captain must ask him to work. We will go quietly without letting your mother-in-law know. Your mother-in-law doesn't know. Even if she wants to complain, it will be a big complaint. Captain, I can’t blame you.” Aunt Ji San’s mother came up with such an idea.

Aunt Ji San thought about it and felt that it seemed feasible.

It's not that she covets the little work points, she just doesn't like the model where the whole family works actively, and Ji Changze is lazy and unmotivated and has to rely on the whole family to support him and is praised as his beloved.

How can you have the nerve to let your uncle, aunt, and grandma take care of such a grown-up person? It’s so shameless.

A smile appeared on her face, and she pulled her mother's arm affectionately: "Mom, if you are still kind to me, then I will wait at home."

The mother and daughter agreed and continued to work in their respective places.

Aunt Ji was very happy to see her coming back from a trip, so she asked.

"Nothing, I just talked to my mother."

Third Aunt Ji was happy, but she was not stupid. Naturally, she could not reveal what she had discussed with her mother. She just made a few perfunctory remarks. Second Aunt Ji did not inquire into the details and continued to work hard.

To say that Aunt Ji San is holding back bad intentions is not true. She is a typical rural woman who cannot give birth to a son. She feels insecure. She wants to stop raising her nephew. Her mother-in-law is putting pressure on her and she dares not speak up. However, the whole family is busy working and only supports Ji Changze, a nephew who does not work at all. She feels uncomfortable.

You can raise him, but you should at least not just wait for food. Don't work so hard here while you enjoy yourself there.

Before her daughter got married, she knew how to work at such an old age.

And Aunt Ji San usually thinks more.

Regarding the words said by her mother-in-law, such as "The Ji family depends on Changze", "Your daughters will have confidence only if you have a brother like Changze", "Let the girls communicate with Changze more", etc., Aunt Ji San does not believe in her heart.

Having a younger brother does not necessarily mean confidence. It is called having a capable younger brother who dares not be looked down upon by his sister's in-laws.

How can Ji Changze bring confidence to his sisters?

But it was useless for her to think clearly. Her mother-in-law, her husband, and even her sisters-in-law all thought that Ji Changze was the hope of this family.

She had no external help in this family!

Aunt Ji San could only feel sad and angry, but she dared not say anything.

But thinking that her nephew would have to work in the future, she felt much more comfortable. When she finished her work, she went home with her family with brisk steps.

As soon as the door was opened, there was a basin of fish in the yard, big and small, jumping happily in the washing basin.

The whole family of the Ji family was shocked by the scene in front of them.

Grandma Ji walked at the end, but she reacted the fastest. She closed the door with a bang, and the sound suddenly dropped 800 degrees. Looking at Ji Changze who was drying clothes, she hurriedly asked: "Where did these fish come from?"

"Caught in the reservoir."

Ji Changze shook the water off his head and smiled at Grandma Ji: "Grandma, let's eat fish today."

Grandma Ji still couldn't believe it: "Didn't the reservoir get cleaned out a few years ago? How could you catch so many? It's so big."

"Grandma, you also said that it was a few years ago. No one has been to the reservoir for a long time. The weeds are growing everywhere. It took me a while to get to the shore. I can see that no one has been there for a long time. Who knows there are fish there."

Ji Changze showed a mysterious expression on his face, waved his hand to signal the confused Ji family to come over, and waited until they were in front of him. Then he whispered: "When I went there, I found a large school of fish. The fish there probably hadn't seen anyone for a long time. I made a basket on the spot, caught some earthworms and threw them in, and the fish came in directly. I didn't waste any effort."

"But the road is really difficult to walk. I was afraid that the fish would die and not be fresh. Later, I went home several times to get a bucket and brought it back one by one. I was afraid that others would see it, so I took the mountain road specially."

"You, you brought it back?"

Aunt Ji stuttered, it was incredible: "Changze, don't you usually don't like to move?"

"I don't like to move because even if I move, there is no reward. This fish is ready-made meat, and I can take it to the city to exchange for money. If I don't move, I will become a fool like Wang Daqiang."

This logic seems to be correct, but why does it sound so weird in my heart.

Aunt Ji was still thinking, but Grandma Ji smiled happily: "My grandson is really capable. He can catch so many fish in a reservoir. This is enough for us to eat for many days."

"Not only enough to eat, but also enough to sell, grandma, wait until I sell these fish to buy you cloth and make new clothes."

After these words came out, Grandma Ji was coaxed even happier.

Ji Changze was still distributing them seriously: "I just counted them. There are five big fish in total, more than 30 medium-sized ones, and too many small fish. I can't count them. Three big fish for each sister, one for each sister, and the biggest one for the eldest sister. She gave us meat before. We will sell the rest of the fish except for what we eat."

Grandma Ji was stunned and a little reluctant: "Your three sisters are married well and have no shortage of food and drink. You don't need to give these fish."

The uncles and aunts of the Ji family also looked at Ji Changze in surprise.

According to the temper of this young ancestor, it would be good if he didn't keep these fish to eat, but he actually took some out to share with his three sisters?

Is it red rain from the sky?

"Why not? Grandma, listen to what the villagers say. They say I have no ability and only rely on my three sisters. I want to let them see whether I have ability or not, so that they don't always compare me with Wang Daqiang. Wang Daqiang can't catch up with me even if he flatters me. Is he worthy of him?"

As soon as Ji Changze said this, the Ji family understood.

It turned out that it was still because of Wang Daqiang.

Before, they just listened to Ji Changze's words and didn't feel so deeply. When they listened to people chatting during the break time, they realized that Wang Daqiang's words were very detailed when he was trying to pick up people.

If Ji Changze and Wang Daqiang hadn't always interacted, others might have believed it.

It seems that Changze hates Wang Daqiang.

The Ji family members were not too puzzled. Their little ancestor was always very vindictive. He even remembered the grudges of his family members, let alone outsiders.

No matter what, the second and third branches were very happy with the result.

How could they not love their daughter? They just didn't dare to say it out loud. But it was different when Grandma Ji's beloved Changze said it in person.

Changze insisted. Although Grandma Ji felt it was unnecessary, she couldn't persuade her grandson. She gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement: "Go ahead, send it. When you send it, you must tell them that these are the fish caught by Changze, and Changze loves them."

As parents, they were so happy that their daughter could eat fish that they didn't care about anything else. They nodded in agreement.

Ji Changze: "By the way, I found that the fish school in the reservoir is really big, right in Houao. When you talk, just say that I caught the fish in the reservoir, but don't tell me where else, otherwise when everyone in the village goes there, we won't be able to catch any fish at home." Aunt Ji San is indeed the smartest person in the family. She slammed the table and said, "Not only can we not tell them that it's Houao, we can't tell them that it's in the reservoir, otherwise Houao is behind the reservoir, and someone with a keen eye will know where it is after a detour. We won't be able to hide it then. The family of that person before, the Chen family, yes, It belongs to the Chen family. Didn't many wild rabbits jump to his house when they were cutting trees on the mountain? Some people in the village are really shameless. They argue that the mountain belongs to the big guys, and the wild rabbits on it also belong to the big guys. They insist that the Chen family take out the wild rabbits they caught with great effort and share them together. "

"What if those people knew that Changze's fish came from the reservoir, and they also want to share the fish."

When the Chen family's incident got out, Aunt Ji had the face to not make a fuss, but in her heart, she was actually thinking how nice it would be if the wild rabbit could be shared with everyone.

Although the amount of money shared was definitely less, who would dislike it if it was taken for free.

But it's one thing to share other people's things.

It's not the same to share one's own things.

She doesn't have a selfless heart. Of course, if there is any benefit, it's better to keep it for her family. Besides, although this reservoir is in the village, it was not built by the whole village together. It's just that the terrain is special, and it will become a reservoir after years.

Because there is a lot of water, the village will draw water from it when it is dry, so it is named a reservoir. To put it bluntly, isn't it a wild place? !

Ji Changze nodded, as if he agreed with Aunt Ji's words: "But Aunt, if we don't talk about the reservoir, others will definitely ask about our fish when they see them. What should we say then?"

Aunt Ji thought about it.

"Well, don't we have a cart at home? When it's still dark tomorrow, let your uncle put the fish on the cart and drag it into the city to sell. When we come back, we can say that these fish were bought from the city. By then, we will have money and the source of the fish, and we won't be afraid of what the villagers say."

Ji Changze smiled immediately: "Aunt, you are really smart, much smarter than my uncle. If you had studied, you might have been admitted to university now."

Aunt Ji smiled immediately after being praised, a little embarrassed and A little proud: "Really? I also wanted to study at that time, but unfortunately someone had to work at home, so I couldn't go."

"Oh! That's such a pity. Third Aunt, you are so smart even though you haven't studied. If you had studied, it would be great. I believe in this matter, Third Aunt, so tomorrow I will go to the city with Third Uncle, and I will also send things to Third Sister and Big Sister."

Ji Changze's rainbow fart is not rich in language content, but it is precious because Ji Changze's expression is particularly sincere and his tone is particularly admiring, which contains full appreciation for Third Aunt Ji.

Third Aunt Ji always thinks that she is the smartest one in this family.

Specifically, when the whole family spoiled Ji Changze, only she was sober and kept her mind, and saw how useless the nephew under this so-called "only seedling of the Ji family" was.

And now, Ji Changze affirmed her intelligence.

Third Aunt Ji suddenly felt light all over.

It's not to mention that although Changze is a little lazy, he has a pretty good eye for people.

Ji Changze was still saying, "Aunt San, let's see what we should do next. There are so many fish. It would be a pity to let them go, but I can't go into the water because I have a wound on my head."

Aunt San Ji also felt it was a pity.

"So, if the fish really can't escape, buy a net quietly when you go to the city tomorrow. I can swim, and when the net arrives, I'll find an excuse to help you. We'll get the fish back, and then sell it quietly the next morning before dawn when everyone is asleep..."

As she spoke, she tried to improve it: "You can't let the third brother go every day. The second brother and the third brother take turns to come. In this way, even if you come back late, the villagers won't notice that you always come back late alone."

After saying that, Aunt San Ji proudly puffed up her chest and waited for everyone to praise her. As a result, when she looked up, the other people in the Ji family looked at her with an expression of "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?", and the anger in her heart was immediately relieved.

Well, being too smart is not good, because your thinking is not in line with others.

Only Ji Changze clapped his hands with admiration on his face: "Aunt San, you are so strong, so amazing, why didn't I think of it, OK! Let's do as you say!"

In an instant, Aunt San Ji was filled with confidence.

She even looked at Ji Changze with a lot of affection.

How could she not be affectionate? He was the only person in the family who understood her.

Early the next morning, Ji Changze and Uncle San Ji set off.

After arriving in the city, Ji Changze strolled around and found a place to sell fish. After asking Uncle Ji to sell fish there, he went to his third sister's house with the fish.

When he knocked on the door, he saw a serious old man who looked old-fashioned. When he saw Ji Changze, his expression immediately fell.

"Uncle, is my sister at home?"

Recognizing that this man was the father-in-law of the eldest sister, Ji Changze smiled immediately.

Although the old man was not very satisfied with his daughter-in-law's brother, he couldn't keep a straight face because he was smiling. He could only say dryly: "He went to work. He is very busy every day and doesn't make much money."

Knowing that he was guarding against him coming to borrow money, Ji Changze didn't mind. After all, the original owner did come to borrow money several times before. He didn't look down on his daughter-in-law for having such a poor relative. Every time the original owner came to the door, he was empty-handed. It would be strange if he could smile at him.

"What a coincidence! I have something else to do. I won't go in. I caught this fish. I thought it would be hard for you to buy fish in the city, so I brought it here. Please take it."

The old man was stunned.

What's the matter? You always come empty-handed. Why are you carrying fish this time?

Fish is indeed hard to buy in the city. After all, there are reservoirs and rivers in the countryside, but there are only houses in the city. Fish is not as easy to raise as poultry. It takes time and water to transport them here. It's laborious and you can't get much, so it has always been a rare thing.

His expression eased a lot, and he said, "How can I be embarrassed? How can I ask you to send me something?"

"Nothing, nothing. My sister helped me a lot before. As a younger brother, I remember it in my heart. Isn't it because I didn't have the conditions before? Now that I catch a fish, I must give it to my sister, my brother-in-law and you two elders to taste."

Ji Changze said this beautifully, and the old man smiled.

Seeing this, Ji Changze didn't say a few more words, just stuffed the fish into his hand and turned away.

The more he didn't thank her, the more the old man liked him.

Did he really misunderstand this guy before?

Seeing this honest and grateful look, why did he always think that this guy was a shameless person who only knew how to take advantage?

When Ji Changze and his friends went back, it was too late. The fish for the eldest sister could only be kept for the next day. In the village, Aunt Ji San found a good reason for herself not to go to work.

My nephew has a headache, and someone needs to take care of the family.

When Aunt Ji San's mother heard that the Ji family didn't let her daughter go to work for Ji Changze, she immediately became anxious.

How can she not work? How can she earn work points without work? How can she buy food without work points? What kind of things are the Ji family doing? They are willing to starve themselves, and don't let her daughter get involved.

Aunt Ji San's mother angrily found her daughter here, ready to condemn the Ji family with her.

Aunt Ji: "No, mother. I asked to take care of Changze myself."

Her mother: "?? What?"

Aunt Ji: "I watched this child grow up. He was injured, and I was worried, so I should take care of him by his side."

Her mother thought her daughter was crazy.

"Didn't you say yesterday that he was unreliable and didn't work?"

"No, mother, don't listen to my nonsense yesterday. Changze didn't not work, he was just injured. This child is sensible, has a good vision, and really treats me as an aunt."

Aunt Ji's mother: "..."

Aunt Ji: "By the way, mother, didn't you go to talk to your brother and the team leader? Don't go. Changze can't work, so he won't work. With us uncles and aunts, how can he starve?"

Aunt Ji's mother: "..."

She recalled the daughter who angrily said yesterday that the Ji family was crazy, and then looked at the daughter who has become Ji Chui's daughter.

It's over, this is assimilation.
