MTL - Rebirth Married The Control Group Fulang-Chapter 110

Zhang Fangyuan intends to unite the clan, which is why he is willing to repair the conflict with his uncle and uncle. Although he does not respond to their requests, he will still give advice on major livelihood issues to solve problems.

Although I haven't directly thought about the patriarch in these years, but now that the family has brought it up, it is also a good opportunity.

Seeing that he agreed, the two cousins ​​were very happy. Although the three brothers had a drink at the table and talked about business matters, the main purpose of the drink this time was to talk about the patriarch's affairs. The uncles all listened carefully. The reason why it is better for the brothers of the same generation to speak up, but the elders seem to put pressure on others.

Noticing such a result, everyone smiled and prepared to wait for tomorrow's wedding banquet tacitly.

The next day, just before dawn, the house became lively, because it was the son-in-law who came to the house instead of the younger brother who left home, so the table was opened for the table, and there were usually many married girls and younger brothers, and the number of relatives in the Zhang family was small. There are quite a few, gathered together, crowded.

It is rare for a son-in-law to come to the village once, and everyone is happy to see something new.

In the afternoon, almost all the people arrived. When the auspicious time came, a string of firecrackers crackled, and the dealer's send-off team also came in mighty force, but the ones who sent off the relatives were originally girls and brothers, and they were replaced by a A tall and mighty man.

Zhuang Qi was dressed in happy attire and came here with his head held high. He didn't feel ashamed to be a son-in-law at all.

Even two folks with sore teeth who were watching the excitement blocked them back.

Brother Xiaoli ran to the mat early and sat down. The newcomer came and set off the firecrackers outside even louder. One after another, the firecrackers could not stop. In my brother's arms.

Ruijin covered his younger brother's ears with his hands, and waited until the firecrackers were all set off.

After the firecrackers are set off, the couple will enter the house to salute. The process is similar to that of a bride going to her in-law’s house. Everyone gathers around to watch, but Brother Li can’t see while sitting, so he climbs up on a stool to watch. Hastily grabbed his hand.

Brother Xiaoli looked up at his uncle wearing a beautiful red wedding dress. He didn't know whether his face was rouged or he was embarrassed.

Seeing everyone clapping and applauding, happy and auspicious, brother Xiaoli also applauded, looking brightly at his brother who was holding his hand: "I want to marry a wife in the future!"

Ruijin rolled her eyes: "Who can you marry?"

"Brother Xing!" Rui Li took it for granted, and gestured with only one hand left: "His face is so soft, and so are his hands."

Ruijin pulled back the old man who was standing tall, took a piece of fruit and stuffed it into Brother Li's mouth: "Don't talk nonsense."

Brother Xiao Li had food in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Who is talking nonsense! Daddy said that everyone wants to get married when they grow up."

"A younger brother cannot marry a younger brother." Ruijin patted his younger brother's forehead: "Don't say that again in the future."

"Hmph!" Brother Xiaoli was furious, threw away his brother's hand, ate some fruit, and went to his brother again: "Then you marry Brother Xiaoxing."

"Father!" Ruijin opened his mouth and shouted towards the tall man who was watching the ceremony under the eaves: "Hurry up and take Brother Li away."

Zhang Fangyuan heard the voice and came out, looked at Zhang Ruili who was moving around dishonestly on the stool, and picked up the little guy: "What are you doing, are you making trouble with your brother again?"

"I didn't!"

"Okay, okay, daddy will carry you in to watch the ceremony."

Zhang Fangyuan walked in with the man in his arms, Brother Xiaoli hurriedly hugged his father's neck, looked at his brother who was sitting quietly on the table, with a look of peace at last, he pouted and groaned A few times: "I won't be with you."

After the ceremony, the banquet started, and it was Zhuang Qi who came out to accompany the guests to drink. A group of Zhang's cousins ​​all went up to drink, with a fierce posture. Zhang Fangyuan drank a pot and then slipped away. Pour one piece, if he goes to drink together, he will miss a big deal.

After the banquet, Zhang's family members got the news and stayed behind, and all the guests who came to the banquet dispersed except for those who stayed to help clean up.

The Zhang family lineage, with Zhang Fangyuan at the center, is the father's generation at the top, besides his father and third uncle are gone, there are four uncles and aunts; at the top is the grandfather, who has passed away, but his grandfather is not alone, There are four brothers in the first line, and there are two more alive today, one is the second uncle and the other is the fourth uncle.

The two uncles had their own children, but they were not as many as Zhang Fangyuan's grandfather. Except for the married couple, there were only three sons.

After finishing the above, it is Zhang Fangyuan's own generation. The uncle has two sons, the second aunt has only one daughter, the fourth uncle has a younger brother, and the fifth uncle has an only son, and the sixth uncle has a brother and a girl. There is also the youngest boy, there are eight cousins ​​besides the cousins ​​and sisters in the second aunt's house.

The next generation will be Ruijin Ruili's generation. Zhang Xiaotian and Xiaoxuan each have two children, two in their family, and the rest either have to marry off, or are unmarried men who have no heirs yet.

Counting from the fourth generation, there are nearly fifty people alive. If all the old and young come together, six or seven tables can be set, but the old and the young are mostly young and middle-aged, so there are also thirty people gathered. come.

"The Zhang family has not had a patriarch for many years. At the time of the ancestors, the population was not as prosperous as it is now, and there are still patriarchs and directors. Our Zhang family can have what it is today. How can we know that it was not created by the ancestors' concerted efforts. The Zhang family is fragmented. After many years, the population is thriving today, and it is time to re-elect a patriarch to lead everyone to a better development."

"It's rare to gather together today. Everyone can elect the patriarch by themselves. The one with the most votes will decide."

Zhang Shixin presided over the meeting on his behalf. Although the matter of the patriarch was mentioned at the meeting, the relatives who stayed behind probably guessed the whole story when they learned that they were going to talk about it. The words, everyone knows it in their hearts.

Most of the Zhang family lived in Jijiu Village, but a few lived in other villages or moved to the city, but most of them were still in the village.

There was no patriarch in these two generations, and the descendants of later generations became more and more alienated. The relationship is definitely not as close as when there was a patriarch. For this reason, when it comes to the Zhang family, everyone in the village knows that it is a big family with a large number of people, and life is also passed. It doesn't look like someone who can't get rid of the pot, but it doesn't look like a family who respects and fears the master. The principle is because they know that the Zhang family is scattered.

If you are scattered, it is not easy to speak to the people in the clan when you encounter something, and the people in the clan may not necessarily go to help.

As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. If relatives do not communicate with each other frequently, and there is a bond of relationship, they are not as good as unconnected neighbors. The reason is that neighbors see each other from time to time.

It is undoubtedly a good thing for everyone to have a patriarch. This benefit is not particularly important when everyone can eat and live in peace and prosperity, but in a year of natural disasters, we know the benefits of clans supporting each other.

After the drought and snow disaster last year, Zhang’s family didn’t listen to Zhang Fangyuan hoarding charcoal fires. During the winter, they often went to Zhang Fangyuan’s house to borrow charcoal fires to get through the winter. This year’s spring, when there were no grain seeds at home, they asked Zhang Fangyuan again. Many relatives came because of Xiaomao's marriage this time, especially the young man in the room with my uncle.

For this reason, everyone is willing to propose the selection of the patriarch. As for the selection of the patriarch, everyone knows it in their hearts.

Everyone had a tacit understanding, said some good words, abandoned the previous suspicions, and selectively forgot the appearance of Zhang Fangyuan when everyone disliked him when he was wandering, and recommended Zhang Fangyuan.

"Since everyone trusts me, I will accept this solemn matter, but I will say it first."

"Since everyone recommended me to be the patriarch today, you must obey the arrangements of the clan in the future. You must not cause trouble for nothing. Every household must abide by their duties. If you do something disgraceful, the clan will definitely not protect you; Cohesion, we will definitely support each other and let everyone have a good meal."

Zhang Fangyuan thought about the arrangement yesterday: "Each house takes this opportunity to recommend a head to come out, one is to assist the head of the clan to do things, and the other is to report to the head of the house first if there are trivial matters in each house."

The two grandparents learned that the patriarch was going to be elected. Although they knew who the default candidate was, they still moved over today. It is no problem that the younger generation is not present, and they will understand it in the future. However, the patriarch must be approved by the elders.

Everyone in Zhang Fangyuan's family can see Zhang Fangyuan's foundation. The two uncles are at home for the elderly. Although they have not often dealt with Zhang Fangyuan, they can still hear what the younger generation of the family say about Zhang Fangyuan's ability. Seeing the power of the announcement, It is even more satisfying to not lose to old things like them who have lived for decades.

"Fangyuan is right. Managing clan affairs is not a one-person job. Each house must choose a good head to cooperate with the head of the clan."

The elders have spoken, and everyone is more convinced of Zhang Fangyuan.

According to Uncle Gong's generation, they were divided into three houses. Zhang Shixin was the oldest in this house, so he was chosen, and the other two houses were also chosen as the oldest.

After the election, everyone made their own speeches.

After the selection of candidates was completed and the appointment was passed, everyone dispersed discussing today's election.

After the matter was settled, Zhang Fangyuan was busy again.

The two cubs were about to go to school, so Zhang Fangyuan sent the kids and Xu He back to the city first, and several house heads were also invited to the house in the city to discuss the formulation of family rules and the construction of the ancestral hall.

The clan rules formulated when there was a patriarch in the past can no longer be found, and all have to be re-enacted. Fortunately, the Zhang family had a patriarch when uncle and uncle were young. I still remember some clan rules, and recorded them one by one. Yuanhe and the three heads of the house reorganized, added, deleted, and deleted, and it took more than half a month to formulate it.

The head of the house read it to the people in the house, and Zhang Fangyuan used a huge plaque to inscribe it, and prepared to hang it after the ancestral hall was built, so as to warn the people in the house.

The ancestral hall must be built, and sacrifices are especially important. People of the clan recognize their ancestors and belong to the clan, and they are mostly awakened by sacrifices.

The house in the village is very big, but there was no ancestral hall before, and nowadays it is not big enough to split a house alone, so Zhang Fangyuan decided to build a special hall for the ancestral hall.

Xu He suggested that the people in the clan should pay the money. Of course, their family can afford it, but the ancestors in this ancestral hall are not the ancestors of their family, but the ancestors of the entire clan. Taking money together can be regarded as contributing to the clan's cause.

Zhang Fangyuan thinks so is good.

After returning to the village, I went to gather people to raise money and mobilize the strength to build the ancestral hall.

The hands and feet are fast, and it was built within half a month.

He was busy with family affairs, Zhuang Qi and Xiaomao lived at home for ten days, and hurriedly moved to the martial arts hall, busy with recruiting martial arts.

Xu He took care of the business in the house and supervised his two children to go to school. He also went to the martial arts hall to help out from time to time. In the first half of the year, each of them was busy without a break.

At the beginning of July, the matter of the clan was settled, and the Ji'an martial arts hall also recruited more than 30 men, and began to train and prepare for making a living.

…

"Drink, ha, scoff!"

The martial arts hall is the busiest when you get up in the morning. The weather is cool these days, the sun has not yet come out, and the wind is blowing around. Dozens of men line up shirtless and boxing in the yard, with a magnificent momentum.

Zhuang Qi is a strict person, these men are trained to be very disciplined under his hands, he has been in contact with martial arts before, and knows the test of the martial arts test, so he moved the test content to train the men in the martial arts gym .

The merchants around who heard the sonorous and powerful training sounds occasionally like to go in to watch the training, and see that they are well-trained, and there is only such a martial arts gym on the west side of the city. Therefore, the martial arts gym has not yet opened, and there are merchants nearby. People help out.

In fact, the business avenues in the martial arts hall are quite wide. On the one hand, they can be escorted and guarded by others, and on the other hand, they can run errands and do temporary work. Good hands and feet skills naturally lead to higher commissions and more difficult errands, but there are many people who have good hands and feet skills, so these will not be idle, running errands for people, guarding warehouses, filling people temporarily, etc. In short, as long as I can receive jobs regardless of my superiority.

Martial arts halls in the city are mostly merchants who come to the martial arts hall and name what they want people to do. The curator is arranging and selecting candidates, and the salary of the manpower in the gym is given by the curator according to a man's ability. There is a fixed amount, and if the employer gives additional rewards, it is additional income.

Zhang Fangyuan and Zhuang Qi have seen this way of paying wages. Although it is fixed every month, it is convenient for the boss to pay wages, but it is precisely because wages are fixed that some people just goof around, usually lazy in training, and then The task time is shortened to the edge, and it is even more difficult to get some rewards. The ones that can be obtained are very rare, and it depends on whether the employer is generous or not.

For this reason, as long as the employer knows that the employer is generous and likes to give rewards, the people in the museum will scramble to take the task. If they know that the employer is difficult and stingy, the owner will arrange for someone to come over, and the people in the museum will also push back.

The two discussed it, and felt that this was too unmotivated, affecting the atmosphere in the museum, and it was also related to profits.

As a result, the two formulated a new salary method, based on the more work, the more pay.

The fixed monthly salary is half of the market price of Wufu in the city, and then the number of jobs received each month is specified, and rewards are given according to the number of tasks received in the month. Ten articles, and so on; in addition, if you have solicited business from outside this month, depending on the amount of business commission, it can be counted as two tasks or three or four tasks.

When recruiting warriors, Zhuang Qi informed this set of salary payment rules, the men who came to apply were like crucian carp crossing the river, this set of salary payment method was very rare in the city, some people thought it was novel and were willing to try it, and some Many people are conservative and don't like such a fresh solicitation. When they heard that it was only half of the wages of ordinary martial arts in the market, they didn't care about the rewards later. They just felt that it was the wealthy family who wanted to squeeze people, so they turned to other martial arts gyms. .

At that time, the reason for recruiting people was because of the unusual way of paying their salaries, and they missed many veterans. Although it was a pity, those who could not accept the rules of the martial arts school had to give up.

The people who remained were full of promises, but in fact, they still felt that it was a new squeeze in their hearts. Most of these warriors were people with strong hands and feet but simple minds who had never read a book. They thought how could they attract business? , Then what kind of martial arts are you doing, just become the curator and talk about business.

You can earn a living. After the disaster, all walks of life are in a downturn this year. There are many closed businesses and fewer opportunities to recruit workers. Even if the conditions are harsh, you can only bite the bullet.

The business of the martial arts school was sluggish before the initial establishment, and the opening of a new store is not like selling food and cloth, which can easily attract people to come in and buy something along the way. Martial arts halls sell strength work, and they sell appearances. If there is no need to invite people, they will definitely not come in and out at will.

Their family's martial arts gym had no connections before, and business was inevitably sluggish when it first opened. There are not many tasks in the hands of the boss and curator, and even fewer tasks can be assigned to the martial arts.

Under such conditions, even if no one wants to be lazy, they are willing to actively take up the tasks assigned by the curator, but there are not many tasks in total, and it is difficult to assign them no matter how enthusiastic they are.

Since they have already entered the gym, Bai trained for a while and then left. If he can't get the money for the month, it's a waste of time. layer.

After the daily training time is over, the warriors who have not been assigned tasks go out of the martial arts gym together, looking for business along the streets and wharfs.

In the first few days, they all went out empty-handed and came back empty-handed. Zhang Fangyuan and Zhuang Qi never scolded the man who returned without success for going out to be lazy. After a long time, some people were embarrassed to go out again, but some persisted until Time to go out.

"Curator, curator!"

Today, Zhang Fangyuan made a visit to the martial arts hall. Tomorrow, when the two cubs rested, Xu He went to the meat market to buy a piece of venison. He was going to cook two delicious dishes at night, so he sent Zhang Fangyuan over to stop by. Tell Zhuang Qi and Xiao Mao to go over for dinner.

He said something and was about to leave, when he saw a young warrior with a green face rushing in from outside, shouting Zhuang Qi at the same time.

Fearing that something happened, he turned back.

"Zhang Yuanwai from the south of the city is old and has a son. The young master's full moon banquet is approaching. He said that he is going to hold a big banquet for all the guests. He plans to borrow dishes, pots and stoves from the homes of relatives and friends. Dishes, can you take this job?"

It's not a big job, there are few people who pick up such casual jobs, and many martial arts gyms look down on it, so the martial artist came back specifically to ask for instructions.

Zhuang Qi only replied with one word: "Accept!"

Wu Fu was young and frizzy, and even jumped up to show his joy.

"The commission is not high, maybe the amount of tasks will be increased?"

Hearing this at the door, Zhang Fangyuan couldn't help laughing: "But the business you solicited?"

Wufu knew that Zhang Fangyuan was the owner of the museum, so he was very polite to him: "Yes."

"That counts you two."

The man was even happier, and immediately shook his fist several times: "Thank you, Master."

After saying that, he was about to jump out, Zhang Fangyuan called to stop him: "Wait."

"I can count you as four missions this time, but I have a request."

The man's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he hurried to Zhang Fangyuan again.

There are people going out to solicit business in the martial arts hall every day, even if you don't count the days with your fingers carefully, but after a little recollection, you can see that it is almost ten days, and today someone finally opened a precedent, everyone is very curious.

Zhang Fangyuan also satisfied everyone's curiosity.

"Where there is excitement, you can join in wherever it is. Naturally, you have to join in good things. If you are fighting and provoking troubles, don't go to watch the excitement. Although such excitement is easier to attract business, people who fight and cause trouble are in a hurry. I am willing to spend money to ask people to help, but this kind of business violates the rules of the martial arts school and is not advisable. People who work like those big restaurants are prone to lack of manpower."

"Mostly, it's not easy for everyone to ask people if they need help. If you are kind, you would like to talk to you. If you meet someone with a strong temper, you may have to be reprimanded. For this reason, I bring such a bag every time I go out. good stuff."

The martial arts gathered in the yard. The young martial artist who had just recruited business was eloquently introducing his tricks of soliciting business on the martial arts demonstration high platform. He took out a wooden sign, and people who could read could recognize it at a glance: Martial arts, Take the job!

Everyone laughed out loud.

Seeing this, the man flicked the sign: "Don't laugh, everyone, I also gained experience from going out and running for a long time. I made such a sign and got business within two days. Isn't it better than going out empty-handed with a dumb man before?" How many?"

He didn't want to tell everyone this trick, but he couldn't bear the boss's calculation of four tasks, so he went on stage to share his successful experience.

Zhang Fangyuan stood beside him and helped out: "You did a good job, everyone still has to brainstorm and show their talents, and Xiao Ba is a living sign."

A group of warriors smiled shyly in the audience, but the next day they each had an announcement card.

There are various contents written on the card, some are honestly written by Xiaoba, and some are slightly innovative and changed to: If you are looking for a martial artist, go to Ji'an Wuguan so-and-so...

Zhang Fangyuan didn't find it funny when he saw the sign on the street. Although some people were illiterate, they would inevitably ask if they saw too many signs, but it was more effective than posting notices in the downtown area.

Seeing this, Zhuang Qi specially asked everyone to add a line of small characters under his signboard, leaving the location of Ji'an Martial Arts Hall.

After a lot of tossing, several people got the second-class reward in the first month, and their salary was even higher than that of the warriors in the market. solicit business.

Zhang Fangyuan saw that the business of the martial arts gym had increased visible to the naked eye, so he felt relieved and didn't run to the martial arts hall every day, and dealt with everything properly. On Zhuang Qi.

He said to Xu He: "It seems that the day of waiting to collect the money is not far away."

"It's just about to start, and let's wait and see."

Seeing that Zhang Fangyuan was in a good mood, Xu He finally had a moment of free time after being busy for a while. He took out a few pieces of paper: "Come and see, Master Luo taught two children how to write. This is written in today's class."
