133, Chapter 133

The door to the house opened, and Grandpa Qin, Father Qin and Qin Shouye came out of the house. Suddenly, the originally lively courtyard fell silent. Everyone looked at them nervously and excitedly, hoping to guess something from their expressions.

In fact, the expressions on Grandpa Qin's and the others' expressions did betray their hearts. Whether it was Qin Fang's promotion or Qin Fang's arrangements, it was a happy event for the Qin family. Since it is a happy event, even if Grandpa Qin and the others want to put on a show, they cannot completely conceal their inner joy.

Therefore, seeing the expressions of Grandpa Qin and others, the rest of the Qin family felt relieved. Originally, Qin Fang became a general, which was good news.

Grandma Qin glanced at the Qin family in the yard, then stepped forward and asked, "Old man, what did A Fang say in the letter?"

Grandpa Qin glanced at his wife and said to everyone, "Come in and listen."

As soon as Grandpa Qin came out, everyone immediately entered the house. As soon as they entered the room, everyone sat down and waited for Grandpa Qin to speak. In the Qin family, although it looks like Grandma Qin's family, in fact the head of the family is Grandpa Qin. He is the backbone of the Qin family. His decisions are based on the overall situation of the Qin family. As long as he decides ‌No one in the Qin family dared to object.

Second Aunt Qin saw everyone sitting down. Grandpa Qin hadn't said anything yet, but she asked eagerly: "Dad, what do you want to tell us? Is it what A Fang said in the letter?" She was in her true nature. Not bad, just a bit impatient, always talking about wanting to take advantage, but once something happens, he is very timid.

Grandpa Qin glanced at her and said directly: "A Fang wrote a letter this time and said one thing, that is, he made meritorious service at the border, and thanks to the emperor's love, he was granted the title of fifth-grade official. ‌Wude‌Army. We don’t know anything about the fifth rank. As for the general, he is a higher official than the county magistrate.”

Hearing Grandpa Qin's confirmation, everyone took a breath of air-conditioning. Everyone present was in a panic. No one thought that the Qin family had changed its lintel.

Second Aunt Qin said: "I knew A Fang was a promising person." She was not envious, she was just happy. Although Qin Fang was the eldest son of the eldest son, he was also the eldest brother of the eldest brother. Aren't you going to take care of your little brother? Besides, her man is Qin Fang's biological second uncle, and she is Qin Fang's second aunt, and she is proud of it.

Such a happy thing, even if everyone thinks that Second Aunt Qin is an afterthought, no one will criticize her.

Grandma Qin said with a smile: "Old man, what else is there? What else did A Fang say?"

Grandpa Qin continued: "Ah Fang has been promoted now, so he is no longer at the border. He was transferred to a place called Yunxiang County and became a city guard general. The city guard general means to protect the people in the county. It’s safe. The conditions there are relatively poor. All the rich people in the county have moved away. What’s left is almost the same. If not, even if it’s almost the same, it’s still richer than the people in our town and village.

After A Fang became the general who defended the city, he bought a thousand acres of land for the military camp. The produce from the land was used to feed the soldiers in the military camp. It was the land of the military camp, not his own land. "Grandpa Qin emphasized, lest everyone think that this is the land owned by Sun Tzu himself, "A Fang said that although the land belongs to the military camp, the person who manages the land is the person he found, and there are 500 people per month. , the stewards don’t have to work, the work in the fields is done by the soldiers, but the stewards have to tell the soldiers how to work. To put it bluntly, they just need to find someone to farm. This is what I will say next. A Fang specifically emphasized the matter.

To take care of things in the fields, he was looking for experienced people, so he thought of his own people. What A Fang means is that he is now in Yunxiang County and will not change for a year and a half, so he hopes that we will go to Yunxiang County. He has assigned a military camp field manor to everyone for us to manage. In addition to the fields in the village In addition, there is a courtyard for everyone to live in. Even if I took this job, I would have to live in the manor and take care of Zhuangzi, and then I would get 500 yuan per month, and my food and drinks would come from the manor. To put it simply, it is a job that includes food and accommodation, and the monthly salary is 500 yuan. He asked you all, do you want to go?

‌Of course, a man is in charge of Zhuangzi, and he provides food and housing for five hundred coins a month. The mother-in-law is in charge of the kitchen in Zhuangzi, because there are soldiers stationed in Zhuangzi. There are hundreds of soldiers, and someone has to be responsible for the daily food. So the mother-in-law went with her to Zhuangzi and was given five hundred coins for food and accommodation every month. "It's not easy to make food for hundreds of people, and money is naturally not that easy to earn.

Grandpa Qin didn't wait for their answer, and continued: "If you don't go, A Fang has also made arrangements for you to stay at home. As his nephew, he will give you ten acres of high-quality land as a gift. Quan, his nephew, is very filial."

Ten acres of prime land, one hundred taels of silver.

Taking his family with him to Yunxiang County, he could earn twelve taels of silver in one year, and one hundred taels in nine years. Of course, going to Yunxiang County is leaving home after all.

However, he also knew very well that if he stayed at home, Qin Fang gave him ten acres of high-quality land, which was regarded as fulfilling his nephew's care for his uncle. Don't ask him for money in other names in the future.

Grandpa Qin: "What do you think?"

Mother Qin pursed her lips and said nothing. Giving ten mu of top-quality land and one hundred taels was her son's own money. Going to the military camp to manage the fields was a military event. Mother Qin was naturally reluctant to let her son give one hundred taels, but she also knew that since her son said so, he must have some money on hand. The eldest son and his wife were smart people. Since they arranged it this way, they naturally had their reasons. So even if Mother Qin was a little concerned, she would not speak up. She knew that she had to look further ahead. She didn't understand the big principles, but she also knew what was good and what was bad.

Uncle Qin first said: "Let's go to Yunxiang County together." Uncle Qin is now a sensible man. He has no son. Even if he recruits a son-in-law for his daughter in the future, his eldest nephew will be his daughter's backer. His daughter has no brothers and sisters, and the only ones who can support her are her cousins. In this way, he has the opportunity to get close to his eldest nephew's family. Why doesn't he?

If he goes there, it would be even better if his eldest nephew has good young people and introduces a partner to his daughter. Therefore, Uncle Qin San almost didn't have to hesitate.

Aunt Qin San listened to her husband, and she could think of what Uncle Qin San could think of. She followed the eldest wife to Yunxiang County, where there was a nephew who would take care of her. It was better than here. Here, although the Qin family had a large population and others didn't dare to bully her, there were many gossips about her behind her back, saying that she couldn't give birth to a son and that the first branch of the Qin family would be extinct. Every time she heard it, she could only swallow her tears. She didn't dare to tell her man about these things, for fear that her man would be sad too. She couldn't give birth to a son, and it was good enough that the man didn't want her. If the man heard these things again, she couldn't imagine it.

The first branch of the Qin family didn't hesitate, but the second branch of the Qin family hesitated.

Although Aunt Qin likes to take advantage of others, she is not very willing to leave her hometown and go far away. Here, she has a son and a daughter, and no one will gossip about her, but if she goes far away, she will be unfamiliar with the place.

Grandpa Qin looked at Uncle Qin: "Old Second, what do you say?"

Uncle Qin thought for a while and asked: "Old Brother has gone, will Big Brother go?"

Father Qin looked at Mother Qin.

Mother Qin said: "If Dad and Mom go, we will naturally go. Fang and his wife have no one to help them over there. If we don't go, we will not be at ease. But if Dad and Mom don't go, we won't go. Fang is not here, we, as the eldest son and daughter-in-law, can't be absent, otherwise Fang will blame us for not taking good care of his grandparents."

Mother Qin's words are very meaningful. First of all, it shows that they want to go, and this is also said to Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin. Secondly, it was said that Qin Fang was worried about his grandparents. Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin loved Qin Fang the most. When they heard that their eldest grandson was worried about them, they naturally couldn't bear to leave him. Even if they didn't want to go at first, they would be worried after hearing this.

However, Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin were planning to go now. So Grandma Qin said, "We don't have to live there forever. We will go there to see the situation first. If we miss home, we will come back." She also missed her eldest grandson. The eldest grandson had a promising future, and she always wanted to go and see him.

Grandpa Qin also had this idea. He was old and he also believed in the saying that fallen leaves return to their roots. But that was after death. Now that he was still alive, he also wanted to go there to see. "Listen to your mother, we're going to take a look too."

Uncle Qin: "Then we'll go too."

Aunt Qin followed up and said, "Dad, mother, if we don't go, will Fang really buy us ten acres of top-quality land?"

Uncle Qin looked at his wife in surprise when he heard her ask this. Didn't she plan to go?

Grandpa Qin said, "Yes, that's what Afang said in the letter, so we will definitely do it."

Aunt Qin said again, "Dad, if we don't go, Afang will buy us ten acres of high-quality land. Can we send Niu Dan with us?" At this point, she chuckled, "Niu Dan won't have much success with us, it's better to follow his eldest brother. I don't ask Niu Dan to study and take the top prize like Shoucheng, just to learn to read and write, and let Afang find him a good job in the future." She knew her son well, he was not destined to study.

Since her daughter Erya could make money by embroidering handkerchiefs, the second room had some spare money, and Aunt Qin also made money to send her son to a private school. But she had no choice, this was a son who didn't make money, and didn't want to go to a private school. So, Aunt Qin gave up, she couldn't waste the money in a private school, right? So now that my eldest nephew has made a good career, I can let my son go there. When he grows up, I can always find him a good job, right?
