Upon hearing this, Zhang Daniu quickly waved his hand and refused, "That's not possible. You two brothers are all pointing to this small amount of food. It's just a casual thing, there's no need for it."
"Yes, you two brothers still have to eat. What will it matter if we take it away?" Zhang Erniu said with a look of disapproval.
"You have misunderstood. Both of us brothers are in the period of mourning. We can just eat some whole grains. We have no use for this fine flour, and it would be a waste to leave it alone. If you don't accept it, I will really feel sorry for you. Every drop of kindness should come. "Quan Xiang Bao..." Qi Yuan frowned and started to repeat the sage's words.
Zhang Daniu had heard that scholars should not eat certain things when observing filial piety, for fear of ruining their career. He also heard Qi Yuan's words that he didn't understand, and he didn't know how to refute his rejection.
"That's the truth, but..."
Zhang Daniu thought about it and didn't know how to refute it. His hands sank, Qi Yuan stuffed the thing into his arms and let go.
Zhang Daniu quickly hugged the bag. It would be a pity if the white and fine noodles were scattered.
Looking at the closed door, Zhang Daniu could only walk home with a bag of thin noodles.
"Daniu is back, what is this?" Aunt Zhang's eyes widened when she opened the bag and saw the fine white noodles, "Let you brothers go to the market, you'd better buy such a big bag of fine noodles. This big family still has Are you alive or not? You’re confused!”
"No, mother, don't be angry first. Just listen to my explanation. How could we do such a stupid thing?" Zhang Daniu quickly supported Aunt Zhang's family.
"Yes, mother, don't be angry first, listen to what your husband has to say." Zhang Daniu's wife, Qian Shi, patted Aunt Zhang's back and said.
"Did you accept Liang Xiucai's thin noodles? What do I usually say? Liang Xiucai still brought his cousin to keep his filial piety, and he only expected this little food. How could you accept other people's thin noodles!" Uncle Zhang and Zhang Xiaoniu went to the ground. When I came back, I knew where the fine noodles came from when I heard the noise.
Today they went to help Liang Xiucai receive government rations. Didn't they get them from Liang Xiucai?
"Dad, the thin noodles were given by Liang Xiucai. Don't be angry first. Just wait for me to finish." Zhang Erniu looked at his eldest brother who was blushing and didn't know what to say and quickly explained.
"We gave food to Liang Xiucai, but before leaving, Liang Xiucai gave the thin noodles to his eldest brother, saying that the two brothers had to eat coarse grains to observe their filial piety. It would be a waste to keep this noodles. He also said a lot about me. If you don’t understand it, you have no choice but to take it back.”
After Zhang Erniu finished speaking in one breath, the expressions of his family members became much better.
"Then you can't take other people's things for free. You can bring some coarse grains and send them over." Zhang Shuhu said with a face.
Aunt Zhang could only sigh silently as she looked at the thin noodles in front of her.
It was Zhang Xiaoniu who had been studying in school for a few days and said, "Dad, even if you send it to Liang Xiucai, he won't want it. He doesn't eat fine noodles to keep his filial piety. He is holding back his energy and wants to take the imperial examination again to shine on his family."
This is what scholars pay attention to. If you go too often, you might cause trouble for others to take the imperial examination. Liang Xiucai also has good intentions. Next time he asks his eldest brother and others to deliver food, it would be a good idea to bring some food from home.
After all, Liang Xiucai would not be able to eat the vegetables he planted for a while, so no one would refuse them if they were given to him. "What Zhang Xiaoniu said was reasonable, so Uncle Zhang was silent for a while and agreed.
"Okay, let's take a look at what vegetables are in the fields and deliver them to people this afternoon. Give people some vegetables every time. Don't take advantage of others."
As the head of the family, Uncle Zhang let out a sigh of relief, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
That bag of thin noodles was enough for their family to eat several meals.
Aunt Zhang watched as the young and old at home took things and filled them with thin noodles.
"You go to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetables, and then go to the fields to deliver them to Liang Xiucai in the afternoon. Let's make some thin noodles for dinner in the evening."
Zhang Daniu's wife Qian Shi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mom, I'll go right away."
When Qi Yuan went down to the ground in the afternoon, he heard another knock on the door, "Is this?"
"They are all our own dishes, Liang Xiucai, don't dislike them." Zhang Daniu said a little embarrassed.
No matter what, they took advantage.
"Thank you." Qi Yuan thanked him and let 888 take the food.
Zhang Daniu saw that it was indeed what his younger brother said, and he felt more and more that what he said made sense.
With the food, Qi Yuan and 888's food is better.
As the days passed, Qi Yuan and the Zhang family formed a tacit understanding. They sent food and vegetables, and Qi Yuan gave them some fine flour and refined grains. Although not everyone in the village is jealous, but who told them not to be the ones who provided help in times of need?
There was no movement in the Wang family, and Qi Yuan was enjoying his leisure time by studying books and practicing martial arts every day. It's just that one should keep one's filial piety and avoid eating meat and fish, which is really greedy.
But after all, they are the parents of the original owner, and the taboo etiquette of filial piety must still be observed. When you do a task and enter a world, you must learn to respect and integrate.
Only in this way can you enjoy the fun of the small world.
The weather is getting cooler, and the rice in the fields is turning golden. As soon as the autumn harvest is over, it’s time for the autumn harvest.
In the Wang family, Wang Hanwei stayed in the courtyard and went in and out, almost becoming a transparent person. Wang Hanlan married Wu Xiucai from Yujiacun as she wished, and now is the day for her to return home.
"Dad, aunt." Wang Hanlan looked at the person at the door and glanced at Mrs. Wang, deliberately not calling.
"Han Lan, where is my uncle? Why didn't my uncle come back with you?" It was difficult for Wang Yuan to speak, so Aunt Lu couldn't help but ask.
"My husband is in Wen Shu, and it is now the autumn siege. My husband asked me to apologize to my father, and said that he would come to apologize after his autumn siege." Wang Hanlan's face was ruddy, and there was nothing strange about it. The pride in his eyes could not be concealed. .
Wang Yuanwai then gave up his worries. There was an unlearned Liang Cai in front of him for comparison. He even felt that Wu Xiucai was more like a scholar with potential.
"The Qiuwei exam is important. Let him drink wine as compensation someday. A good son-in-law who works hard like this will definitely be able to go to high school." Wang Yuanwai stroked his beard and said with a hearty laugh.
The family then went to the house to have a banquet. It seemed as if everyone had seen Wu Yunlin, when Wu Xiucai became a master of civil engineering.
The thought of having an official son-in-law made Wang Yuanwai's attitude toward Wang Hanlan and his daughter much better.
Instead, Mrs. Wang and her daughter became the transparent people and the laughing stock in the house.
After Mr. Wang had a drink and left the table to rest, Aunt Lu took Wang Hanlan's hand and glanced at Mrs. Wang who was about to leave.
"My Lan'er will be an official's wife from now on. She is a rich and noble person, unlike some people who only have the life of an old girl from Qingdeng Ancient Buddha."
"The more educated people are, the more they pay attention to rules. I wonder if this concubine will be able to get on the stage in the future." Mrs. Wang sneered and became very angry when she saw Aunt Lu, a villain like her, getting her way.
"A bad wife will never leave the court, and my Lan'er is my uncle's first wife." Aunt Lu hated this in the past, so she let Mrs. Wang occupy the position of the head wife. Now she is grateful for this, so that her daughter's status will be stable.
