The old, weak, women and children hid in the back room.
The men blocked the door with their own guys, ready to rush forward at any time.
Xiaodian was not afraid to pounce on the wild boar. Zhao Sanniu took out the long knife that was rewarded last time from the house and chopped off the wild boar's head.
At the moment when the long knife was about to cut off the pig's head, the wild boar weighing several hundred kilograms suddenly fell to the ground.
Zhao Sanniu slowly approached with his knife and kicked him hard, but the wild boar didn't move.
Cheng Wanwan let go of Cheng Zhao, and Cheng Zhao immediately rushed over to help Old Mrs. Cheng up. Old Mrs. Cheng hid aside with lingering fear.
"Mom, there is a bloody hole on the neck of the wild boar." Zhao Sanniu knelt down and took a closer look. "There is also a bloody hole on the belly, and the hind legs were also bitten. It should have been bitten by a wild wolf."
Mrs. Zhao laughed loudly: "The wild wolf on this mountain is really conscientious. He knew that your family was hosting a banquet today, so he came here specially to send you a congratulatory gift."
Her old man's words directly attributed the wild boar to Cheng Wanwan. Before some people in the village who were cautious could speak, those words that contained hidden secrets were blocked back.
Cheng Wanwan smiled and touched the heads of Xiaodian and Xiaohei: "You two go for a run in the mountains and thank them properly on my behalf."
Xiaodian: "Ouch——"
Xiaohei: "Ooooooo——"
Dahei: "Woof woof woof!"
The three guys rushed up the mountain together, and Wangcai next door followed them with short legs.
Zhao Dashan and his three brothers worked together to drag the wild boar to the nearby kitchen, where they left it until the banquet was over.
The banquet continued, and Cheng Wanwan asked someone to help each table add some braised food.
The fact that the wild boar was delivered to our door became a popular after-dinner chat.
Mrs. Cheng was pulled aside by Cheng Zhao.
"Grandma, let me say it again, don't just find a man for your second aunt again."
He took out a money bag from his sleeve and handed it over.
"Here's two taels of silver. Take it back and give it back to that man so he doesn't come back again."
Old Mrs. Cheng stuffed the money bag back into his sleeve: "You keep this money for expenses. Grandma also saved some money, which is all reserved for you to go to Huzhou to take the exam. Since you choose to stay at Zhao's house, then Grandma I won’t force you to take you back, you must study hard, and——”
She looked into the yard and said, "That is Master Shen, I guess. He is the biological son of Magistrate Shen. You must be on good terms with Master Shen. If Master Shen promotes you, are you afraid that you will not be admitted as a scholar?"
Originally, she was determined to take her eldest grandson back, but now, she changed her mind.
Cheng Wanwan, this little prostitute, is really capable. Even if she can't marry the county magistrate, she can still be the godmother of the county magistrate's son. This will be great in the future.
The advantages of Zhaoer staying here outweigh the disadvantages.
"Okay, Grandma is gone. You can go back and read."
Mrs. Cheng helped him tidy up his clothes, turned and left the yard.
After walking a few steps, her old man suddenly slapped his thigh in regret. Her daughter's family got a wild boar for nothing. She should have at least one big pig leg and twenty or thirty kilograms of pork.
But she had already left the yard. If she went back now, she would be beaten out.
The most important thing is that she is a little afraid of Zhao'er's eyes.
Mrs. Cheng sighed for a while, and finally left reluctantly.
Seeing her old man's figure disappearing on the mountain road, Cheng Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.
He walked up to Cheng Wanwan, his voice full of self-blame: "Second aunt, I'm sorry, it's all because of me..."
"It has nothing to do with you." Cheng Wanwan said with a smile, "You are good at everything, you just like to take care of yourself with irrelevant things. Go and eat quickly."
Several familiar women surrounded Cheng Wanwan and asked questions.
"Dashan Niang, why did you refuse the marriage proposal from the county magistrate?"
"This is the county magistrate. When you marry, you will be the county magistrate's wife. You actually refused."
"If you really become the county magistrate's wife, will you still kneel down and salute when we see you in the future?"
"Will the county magistrate marry someone by force?"
Cheng Wanwan laughed and said: "I am not so charming that the county magistrate can forcefully marry me regardless of etiquette. Besides, the county magistrate is an official who only cares about the people, so it is impossible for him to do such a thing."
Aunt Wang pulled her and whispered: "Da Shan Niang, I remember that Dashan Dad went to the battlefield eight or nine years ago, and a year ago he sent back the news that he died in the battle. You haven't seen Dashan Dad in so many years, why are you still thinking about him? Where are you?"
Cheng Wanwan felt guilty.
The original memory of Zhao Youjin was very vague, and she had no memory at all.
Fortunately, Zhao Youjin had already sacrificed his life for the country. Otherwise, after she transformed into Cheng Wanwan from Dahe Village, she would still have to serve her husband, and she would collapse just thinking about it.
She stood up and said, "You guys eat slowly, I'll go over there and take a look."
As soon as she arrived at the front yard, she saw Shen Zheng walking out of the yard in despair.
She couldn't help but sigh, why is this child so stubborn?
She wiped her hands and walked out.
Shen Zheng walked to the ridge of the field beside her home and sat down, squatting on the edge of the field not knowing what she was doing.
"Xiao Zheng."
Cheng Wanwan shouted.
Shen Zheng immediately turned his head, pointed at the field ridge and said, "Auntie, look quickly, is the rice heading?"
Cheng Wanwan lowered his head and looked down. Among the green leaves, the axillary buds sprouted. The green ears were still small, but they were really heading!
However, she looked at the Wang family's field next door and saw that there was no sign of ear heading yet.
It’s understandable when you think about it. Her family’s fields have been well taken care of since the harvest. She confessed that the mountains were pulling weeds and fertilizing every day. In addition, she secretly applied a round of chemical fertilizers, and the heading was a few days earlier than other fields. Also normal.
Shen Zheng carefully observed the rice ears and said slowly: "No one will starve to death this year. Auntie, this is all your credit."
"This is everyone's credit. If no one believed in me, the regenerated rice would not be able to grow." Cheng Wanwan said with a smile, "Don't make it public for now. After everything else grows in the field, everyone will Let’s rejoice together.”
Shen Zheng turned his head, pursed his lips and said: "Auntie, I'm sorry, today my father came to propose marriage. In fact, I was the one who instigated it. It was because of my words that my father did such an unmeasured thing. I will go home tomorrow. Let’s go and explain this matter to my father.”
He did everything on a whim, and suddenly he wanted a mother, so he mentioned it to his father.
His father has been silent for a while, and he must have gone to convince his grandmother. Only after her grandmother agreed did his father dare to propose marriage.
But what's the use of grandma's promise? Aunt Zhao is not willing to marry his father at all.
There are some things that you can't force, so forget it.
Cheng Wanwan looked at him: "Do you need me to go with you?"
"This is a trouble I caused myself. Of course I have to solve it by myself." Shen Zheng paused and said, "Auntie said before that she could accept me as her godson. Does this still count?"
"Of course it counts." Cheng Wanwan said with a smile, "But this is a big deal. You have to discuss it with your father, and we will hold the ceremony again."
In this era, once you recognize your biological relatives, you will really treat them as relatives. This is not a matter of one person, but a matter of two families.
Therefore, the county magistrate's consent must be obtained before this matter can be officially started.
Shen Zheng grinned.
