Chapter 1023

Fangzheng was not angry when he heard the words, but said flatly, "Actually, being a teacher is not as high as chicken and duck."

Hong Haier was taken aback for a moment, then thought of what Fangzheng said before, and said thoughtfully: "Master, what you said is not true, is it?"

Fangzheng said: "The poor monk can only help him answer questions, but chickens and ducks can make him survive and even have a good year. If it were you, who do you think has a higher status?"

Red Boy said decisively: "Chicken and duck!"

Fangzheng spread his hands helplessly, and then said: "Yes, it's a poor monk, and the poor monk also chooses chickens and ducks. Let's go, go to the small shop and sit."

"Master, let's get down to business first at this time. Is there any good place to sit in the small shop?" Red Boy asked a little puzzled.

Fangzheng smiled and said: "The small shop is a good place. The small shop in each village gathers Kanye of the whole village. This is the place with the best news. It's similar to the tavern in the martial arts novel, except that No one drinks here, it's all smokers..."

Hong Haier laughed and said, "Then it's better to change the name to the Great Smokehouse."

Fang Zhengze glared at him, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, these three words are not good words in the history of China."

Red Boy shrank his neck to show he understood.

While talking, the two of them had already walked into a small shop.

It is said to be a small shop, but it is not small at all, it is 40 to 50 square meters, and there are not many shelves inside. After all, it is a small business in the village. It sells oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, instant noodles, dried noodles, tobacco and alcohol, and snacks. Little things like that. There are more small tables one by one, with stools on the edge of the table, a large group of men and women, sitting there smoking cigarettes, drinking water, and chatting.

There were also people playing mahjong, and others playing cards. There were three or five people around to watch the excitement, and suddenly the whole small shop felt full.

As soon as the door was opened, Fangzheng felt a strong smell of tobacco coming towards him. Fangzheng only took a sip, and he felt a suffocation feeling, and then he wanted to cough. Seeing this, Hong Hai'er quickly used the magic spell to block the smoke outside. Only then did Fangzheng heave a sigh of relief, nodded in satisfaction, and gave Honghaier a thumbs up.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, everyone looked over subconsciously. As soon as they saw Fang Zheng coming in, they stopped playing cards or talking, and stood up one after another to say hello.

"Hello, Abbot Fangzheng!"

"Hey, Abbot Fangzheng, what wind brought you here?"

"Abbot Fangzheng, sit here."

"Abbot Fangzheng, it's freezing cold, why did you come down the mountain? Is there insufficient heating on the mountain? I have some coal at my house, do you want to take it back?"

Hearing these plain voices, Fangzheng clasped his palms together to express his gratitude, and declined everyone's gifts. Even so, Fang Zheng was pressed down and sat on a chair that had just been vacated, which made Fang Zheng extremely embarrassed. Although he asked himself some merit, the number of people he helped was after all a minority. Wudaohezi and Yizhi Mountain are quite far away, and there are not many villagers here who can receive the favor of Yizhi Temple. If there is, it is just a few children sent to Yizhi Village to learn carving...

Calculated in this way, Fangzheng really felt guilty. If he didn't return something to someone who treated him like this, he would always feel that he was missing something. Once this idea arises, it cannot be suppressed anymore, but Fangzheng has no good way to help these enthusiastic villagers, so he can only remember it first.

Everyone chattered and asked for a long time, during which Fangzheng also drank two glasses of water. Seeing that everyone was talking about the same thing, he changed the subject and said: "Benefactors, it is true that the poor monk came down the mountain this time for something. The poor monk listened. Said, just yesterday, but there was a benefactor who slept on a straw pile and almost froze to death. Is there such a thing?"

When Fangzheng asked this, everyone was obviously taken aback.

Then there was anger on everyone's face.

One of the men who was somewhat Mediterranean said: "You are talking about Laoba Qiu, right? Hey, that old guy really deserves it!"

As soon as these words came out, Fangzheng was stunned. Does Qiu Laoba deserve it? When did people who were about to freeze to death deserve what they deserved? Isn't Liu honestly telling the truth?

"This Qiu Laoba really deserves it. You said that this old guy was kicked out by his daughter. Lao Jin kindly took him in and helped him call the police. He wanted to help him and teach that unfilial bastard daughter a lesson. As a result He was fine. When the police came, he refused to admit that he was kicked out, and said that he ran away from home. The old Jin who killed him was also reprimanded by the police, saying that he reported a false report to the police, and was almost taken back for investigation. "Someone on the side agreed.

Only then did Fangzheng realize that what everyone said was not the same as what he thought, and it was basically the same as what Liu honestly said.

Fangzheng asked curiously, "Oh? They were driven out to sleep in haystacks, and they still protect their daughter like this. This Qiu Laoba is not so kind to his daughter."

As soon as these words came out, the group of people who were originally filled with anger subconsciously nodded.

Hai Hai also said: "Hey... If you want to say that Qiu Laoba is really a good person. It's a pity that a kind heart was fed to a wolf-hearted snake and scorpion..."

"How do you say that?" Fangzheng asked immediately.

Hearing Fangzheng's question, everyone started talking one after another, chattering one after another, talking here and there. Fortunately, Fangzheng's brain is not running at the same speed as the stupid boy he was when he was in school. He quickly memorized what everyone said, and then summed it up. Gradually, he also began to have a general understanding of the situation of the Qiu family. up.

Qiu Lao Ba does not mean that he is the eighth child in the Qiu family, but that in the entire Wudaohezi Village, there are eight people surnamed Qiu, and he happens to be the eighth in terms of age. Qiu Laoba's wife has been in poor health, weak and sick. When he was young, he gave birth to his eldest daughter Qiu Baihong. However, at that time, the village still favored sons over daughters, so Qiu Laoba has always been obsessed with having a son.

Only then did the second child plan come into being, and finally gave birth to the second daughter, Qiu Jinyu, two years later. As a result, Qiu Laoba's wife, who was already frail and sickly, never woke up during that delivery.

At that time, Qiu Laoba felt guilty, thinking that his own persistence killed his wife. At the same time, he also had some resentment towards his second daughter, and because life was really difficult at that time, he adopted Qiu Jinyu to another family named Qiu in the village. The family had no children, so they were naturally very willing to take in Qiu Jinyu.

With no wife and only one daughter at home, Qiu Laoba is naturally obedient and obedient to his eldest daughter, Qiu Baihong, and favors him in every possible way. He will bring back any delicious food and fun for Qiu Baihong. It was nothing at first, but after Qiu Baihong got married, everyone suddenly discovered that the relationship between Qiu Baihong and Qiu Laoba was actually very subtle!
