Everyone Knows I’m a Good Man

No matter how confused Aunt Ji was, the family seemed to be having a good time. After eating and taking a rest, it was time to go to work in the fields.

Ji Changze definitely didn't need to go because he had a head injury. After the house was cleaned up, he was the only one left. He just went out and planned to think about what to do.

For hunting, although there are mountains in the village here, there are really not many good things on the mountains. There are no big birds of prey here, and people are not afraid of going up the mountains. Before, when they had nothing to eat or drink, a large number of people went up the mountains to hunt. After so long, the animals on the mountains have become There was only a little bit left, and he ran away when he saw anyone.

It's still hard to catch.

When it comes to doing business, now is not the most suitable time. The timeline of this world is very fluctuating, but time management is not as strict as when Ji Changze was there before. Although everyone still works together and goes to the fields together, everyone eats their own meals. Home, it’s not like the town doesn’t allow people to buy and sell things privately.

So it is very simple to get rich, it just depends on which path you want to take.

Ji Changze went out for a stroll and reached the river. He happened to see a few children in the village splashing in the water. The adults working in the fields nearby would straighten up and take a look from time to time, fearing that they would go deeper.

There is nothing good in the mountains here. The water is quite deep. Many people in the village know the nature of water. However, there is a large reservoir in the village where the water is too deep. The adults do not let the children play there since they were young. I heard that there is water underneath. There are many aquatic plants that are dangerous for feet, and adults themselves are unwilling to go there.

Ji Changze had an idea and spent some effort walking to the reservoir.

In the field, the Ji family was working. A villager followed by two children came: "Ji Laoer, what are you doing at the reservoir? The sun is shining brightly."

Uncle Ji was stunned when he heard this: "Has Nagasawa gone to the reservoir?"

"No, I saw it with my own eyes. The only direction he walked was the reservoir. He was not going there, but somewhere else."

"I don't know either. Today I told you to let Nagasawa rest in the house. Why did this child run to the reservoir?"

Uncle Ji was busy working, but he didn't care much about his nephew. After all, Nagasawa was so old, and he was not the kind of child who had to be watched. He might just want to swim in the reservoir, as long as he didn't swim in the deep water area. , just swim if you like.

Third Aunt Ji, who was also working over there, heard this and quickly pulled Aunt Ji along and said, "Second sister-in-law, look at Nagasawa, we are working so hard here, but he is doing well and went to play in the water. Not a kid anymore."

Aunt Ji was pulled a little, and she raised her head in confusion: "Why are you playing with water? Nagasawa has a wound on his head. He probably has something wrong with him."

"What can happen? The young man won't do this or that. It's not okay to always be like this..."

Before Aunt Ji could finish her words, Aunt Ji had already continued working with her head down without any concern. Aunt Ji was extremely angry.

Working angrily, she took advantage of her break to run to where her parents' house was.

Her mother was old, but she still came to work in the fields. As soon as the mother and daughter met, Aunt Ji started to complain: "My second brother and sister-in-law, and the one in my family, they are just stupid. It was the same, it was obvious that this nephew was unreliable and unreliable, but they still believed in him and provided him with good food and drink. They gave him all the delicious food at home first. Just now, this kid actually went to play in the reservoir, and no one else did. Something feels wrong.”

Aunt Ji San and her mother were also filled with righteous indignation after hearing this: "I'm telling you, you shouldn't have sent away the fourth and fifth girls in the first place. At least one of them should be left behind to recruit a son-in-law for you. That nephew of yours is right. You are unreliable, what should you do when you are old?”

"No."

After holding it in for a day, she finally found someone who spoke the same language as her. Aunt Ji was so excited: "Mom, tell me, what do they think? If Ji Changze doesn't work, they will say that the child is still young, no matter how old he is. , more than 20 years old, at my age, three girls have been born. He doesn’t go to the ground, but my mother-in-law still spoils him. You said that there are so many people in our team, none of them must go to the ground, why doesn’t he go to the ground and earn money? If the work is divided, doesn’t it mean that we keep him in vain?”

"Otherwise, mother will ask your brother to talk to the captain, so that the captain must ask him to work. We will go quietly without letting your mother-in-law know. Your mother-in-law doesn't know. Even if she wants to complain, it will be a big complaint. Captain, I can’t blame you.” Aunt Ji’s mother came up with such an idea.

Aunt Ji San thought about it and felt that it seemed feasible.

It's not that she covets the little work points, she just doesn't like this model where the whole family works actively, and Ji Changze is lazy and unmotivated and has to rely on the whole family to support him and is praised as his beloved.

How can you have the nerve to let your uncle, aunt, and grandma take care of such a grown-up person? It’s so shameless.

A smile appeared on her face, and she pulled her mother's arm affectionately: "Mom, if you are still kind to me, then I will wait at home."

The mother and daughter agreed and continued to work in their respective places.

Aunt Ji was very happy to see her coming back from a trip, so she asked.

"Nothing, I just talked to my mother."

Third Aunt Ji was happy, but she was not stupid. Naturally, she could not reveal what she had discussed with her mother. She just made a few perfunctory remarks. Second Aunt Ji did not inquire into the details and continued to work hard.

To say that Aunt Ji San is holding back her bad feelings is not true. She is a typical rural woman. She cannot give birth to a son. She feels that she has no confidence in raising her nephew. Her mother-in-law is suppressing her and she does not dare to speak. But the whole family was immersed in work, and they only provided for a nephew like Ji Changze who didn't work at all, and she felt uncomfortable.

I can feed you, but why don't you just open your mouth and wait for food? Don't work so hard here, you will enjoy it there.

Before her daughter got married, she still knew how to work at such an old age.

And Aunt Ji usually thinks a little more.

As for what her mother-in-law said, "The Ji family depends on Nagasawa", "With Nagasawa as a younger brother, you girls can have confidence", "Let the girls communicate more with Nagasawa" and so on, Aunt Ji's heart is full of thoughts. Don't believe it.

Having a younger brother does not necessarily mean you are confident, so having a younger brother who is capable and dare not let your sister-in-law and family look down upon you is capable.

What kind of confidence could Ji Changze like this bring to his sisters?

But it was useless for her to think clearly. Her mother-in-law, husband and even her sister-in-law all thought that Ji Changze was the hope of the family.

She is in this family, and there is no outside help at all!

Aunt Ji could only feel sad and angry, but she dared not say anything.

But thinking that her nephew would have to work in the future, she felt much more comfortable. When the work was done, she walked briskly and went home with her family.

As soon as the door opened, there was a basin of fish in the yard, big and small, jumping happily around in the wash basin.

The whole Ji family was shocked by the scene before them.

Grandma Ji walked at the end, but her reaction was the quickest. She closed the door with a bang, and her voice suddenly dropped eight hundred degrees. She looked at Ji Changze who was drying his clothes and asked quickly: "Where did these fish come from??"

"It was caught in the reservoir."

Ji Changze shook the water on his head and smiled at Grandma Ji: "Grandma, let's eat fish today."

Grandma Ji still couldn't believe it: "Didn't the reservoir be completely captured a few years ago? How could you capture so many? It's still so big."

"As you said, that was all a few years ago. No one has been to the reservoir for a long time. The weeds are growing everywhere. It took me a while to get to the shore. It took me a long time to get there. No one has gone there, who knows there are fish there.”

Ji Changze showed a mysterious look on his face and waved to the confused Ji family to come forward. When they arrived in front of him, he whispered: "When I passed by, I found that there was a large school of fish. The fish hadn’t seen anyone for a long time, so I made a basket on the spot, caught some earthworms and threw them in, and the fish came right in, without any effort.”

"But the road was really difficult. I was afraid that the fish would be dead and stale. I went home several times to get buckets and transport them back. I was afraid that others would see it, so I took the mountain road specially."

"You, you brought it back?"

Aunt Ji San stammered, incredulously: "Nagaze, don't you usually like to move?"

"I don't like to move because there is no reward even if I move. This fish is ready-made meat and can be taken to the city to exchange for money. If I still don't move, I will become a fool like Wang Daqiang."

There seems to be nothing wrong with this logic, but why does it sound so strange to my heart?

Aunt Ji was still thinking about it, but Grandma Ji raised her lips and said happily: "My grandson is very capable. He can catch so many fish in a reservoir, which is enough for us to eat for many days."

"Not only is it enough to eat, but it's also enough to sell. Milk, when I get these fish and sell them, I can make enough money to buy fabric for you and make new clothes."

As soon as these words came out, Grandma Ji was coaxed to become even happier.

Ji Changze was still doing the distribution in a matter-of-fact manner: "I just counted, there are five big fish in total, more than thirty medium-sized fish, and there are so many small fish that I can't even count them. There are three big fish, one sister and one person." One, the biggest one is given to the eldest sister. She gave us the meat before, and we sell the rest of the fish except for our own food.”

Grandma Ji looked stunned and a little reluctant: "Your three sisters are all married well, and they are not short of food and drink. There is no need to give this fish."

The uncles and aunts of the Ji family also looked at Ji Changze in surprise.

According to this little ancestor's temper, it would be good if he didn't keep these fish to eat, but he could actually take some out and share them with his three sisters?

Isn't it raining red from the sky?

"Why don't you give it to me? Listen to what the people in the village say, saying that I have no ability. Just rely on my three sisters. I will let them take a good look at whether I have the ability, so that they don't always take it. Wang Daqiang comes to compete with me. He, Wang Daqiang, can’t keep up with me even if he tries to flatter me. Is he worthy of him?”

As soon as Ji Changze said these words, the Ji family understood.

Daqing is still about Wang Daqiang.

Before, they just listened to Ji Changze alone and said that the feelings were not that deep. It was only when they listened to others chatting during breaks while working that they realized that Wang Daqiang was talking about having noses and eyes when he was grabbing people.

If Ji Changze and Wang Daqiang hadn't kept close contact with each other, others might have believed them.

Seeing this, Nagasawa hated Wang Daqiang.

The Ji family is not very confused. Their little ancestor is very grudge-bearing. He will bear all the grudges of his family members, let alone outsiders.

No matter what, the second and third bedrooms are still very happy with the result.

How could they not feel pain in their hearts for their own daughter, but they didn't dare to say it out and send their daughter away, but Grandma Yuki's beloved Nagasawa said it was different in person.

Ji Changze insisted. Although Grandma Ji didn't think it was necessary, she still couldn't resist her grandson. She gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement: "Give it away, give it away. When you do it, you must tell them that this is the fish caught by Nagaze, and it is also Nagaze's heartache." they."

The parents were so happy that their daughter could eat fish that they didn't care about anything else, so they quickly nodded and agreed.

Ji Changze: "By the way, I found that the fish in the reservoir are really big, just in the thick concave area. When you talk about it, just say that I caught the fish in the reservoir, but don't say where it is, otherwise it will When everyone in the village has gone, we can’t catch him at home.”

Aunt Ji San is indeed the shrewdest person in the family. She immediately slapped the table and said: "Not only can't you tell them that it's Hou'ao, but you can't tell them that it's in the reservoir. Otherwise, Hou'ao is behind the reservoir. Anyone who is interested can know where it is by walking around. Now, I still can’t hide it. Whose family was it? Yes, it was the Chen family. When the trees were cut down on the mountain, weren’t there a lot of wild rabbits that jumped into his house? Some people in the village were really kind. Shame, the Noisy Mountain belongs to the big guys, and the wild rabbits on it also belong to the big guys. We must let the Chen family take out the wild rabbits they worked so hard to catch and share them together. "

"What if those people know that the fish in Nagasawa are obtained from the reservoir and they clamor to share the fish."

When the Chen family incident broke out, Aunt Ji was too shy to make a fuss, but what she was actually thinking about was how nice it would be if this wild rabbit could be shared with everyone.

Although there are definitely fewer people getting it, who would dislike this if they get it for free?

But distinguishing people's things is the same thing.

It's not okay to share your own things.

She doesn't have any selfless dedication. Of course, if there is a benefit, it can only be kept by her own family. Besides, although this reservoir belongs to the village, it was not built by the whole village. It is just that the terrain is special and it will turn into something year after year. reservoir.

Because there is a lot of water, the village would divert water from it during droughts, so it was named the reservoir. To put it bluntly, isn't it just a wild place? !

Ji Changze nodded, as if he agreed with Third Aunt Ji's words: "But Third Aunt, if we don't talk about the reservoir, others will definitely ask when they see our fish. What will they say then?"

Aunt Ji thought for a while.

"So, don't we have a cart at home? Wait until dawn tomorrow and let your third uncle put the fish on the cart and drag the cart into the city to sell it. When he comes back, he will say These fish were bought from the city. By then we will have money and a source of fish, and we won’t be afraid of what the villagers will say.”

Ji Changze immediately smiled: "Third Aunt, you are really smart. You are much smarter than my Third Uncle. If you had studied at first, you might have been admitted to college now."

Aunt Ji's face immediately showed a smile when she was praised. She was a little embarrassed and a little proud: "Really? I also wanted to study at that time, but it was a pity that someone had to work at home, so I couldn't go."

"Hey! That's such a pity. Third aunt, you are so smart even if you haven't studied. It would be fine if you had studied. I trust third aunt on this matter. Then tomorrow, third uncle and I will go to the city together. I just want to give something to the third sister and the eldest sister.”

Ji Changze's Rainbow Fart is not rich in language content, but it is precious because Ji Changze's expression is particularly sincere and his tone of voice is particularly admiring, which contains full appreciation for Aunt Ji.

Aunt Ji San has always felt that she is the smartest one in the family.

Specifically, when the whole family pampered and doted on Ji Changze, she was the only one who could stay awake and see clearly how ineffective her nephew was in this so-called "Ji family's only child".

But now, Ji Changze affirmed her intelligence.

Aunt Ji San suddenly felt light and airy all over.

Not to mention, although this kid Nagasawa is usually a bit lazy, he still has a pretty good eye for seeing people.

Ji Changze was still there and said: "Third Aunt, let's see what we do next? There are so many fish, it would be a pity to just let them go, but I can't go into the water even if I have an injury on my head. "

Aunt Ji San also felt it was a pity.

"In this way, if this fish really can't escape there, you can secretly buy a net when you go to the city tomorrow. I can also swim. When the net arrives, I will find an excuse to help you. Let's Get the fish back, and then sell it quietly the next morning before dawn while everyone is asleep..."

She said while trying to improve: "You can't let the third brother go every day. The second brother and the third brother come alternately, so that even if you come back late, the people in the village will not find that one person always comes back late."

After finishing speaking, Aunt Ji proudly stood up and waited for everyone to praise her. When she looked up, the rest of the Ji family looked at her with expressions of "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?" The anger was relieved immediately.

Hey, it's not good to be too smart. You don't think on the same line as others.

Only Ji Changze applauded approvingly, with admiration written all over his face: "Third Aunt, you are so strong and awesome, why didn't I think of it? Okay! We will do as you say!"

In an instant, Aunt Ji's heart was filled with confidence.

Even the way he looked at Ji Changze was quite affectionate.

Can you not be affectionate? This is the only person in the whole family who understands her.

Early the next morning, Ji Changze and Uncle Ji set out.

When he arrived in the city, Ji Changze wandered around and found a place where fish was sold. After asking Uncle Ji to sell it here, he took the fish and went to the third sister's house.

When he knocked on the door, he saw an old man with a serious expression, who looked like an old-fashioned old man at first glance. When he saw it was Ji Changze, the expression on his face immediately changed.

"Uncle, is my sister at home?"

Ji Changze immediately laughed when he recognized that this man was his eldest sister's father-in-law.

Although the little old man was not very satisfied with his daughter-in-law's biological brother, he could not keep a straight face because he greeted her with a smile. He could only say dryly: "I'm going to work. I'm so busy every day that I can't make much money." money."

Knowing that he was preventing him from borrowing money, Ji Changze didn't mind. After all, the original owner had come to borrow money several times before. People originally looked down on their daughter-in-law for having such a poor relative. Every time the original owner came to the door, he always came back with nothing. Go ahead and give him a smile.

"What a coincidence. I have something else to do, so I won't go in. I caught this fish. I thought it would be difficult for you to buy fish in the city, so I brought it to you. Uncle, please take it. "

The little old man was stunned.

Why, this time I came in empty-handed, why did I still carry the fish this time?

It is indeed difficult to buy fish in the city. After all, there are reservoirs, rivers, etc. in the countryside. In the city, there are only houses. Fish are not as easy to feed as poultry. It takes time to transport them and requires water, not to mention the effort. Not many come around, so it has always been a rarity.

His expression softened a lot, and he said, "How can I be so embarrassed? How can I ask you to give me something?"

"Nothing, nothing. My sister helped me a lot before. As a younger brother, I remember it in my heart. Wasn't this because I had no conditions before? Now when I catch fish, I have to give it to my sister, my brother-in-law, and you, the two elders." "

Ji Changze said this beautifully, and the little old man also had a smile on his face.

Seeing this, Ji Changze didn't say a few words, just stuffed the fish into his hand, turned around and left.

The more he didn't try to say thank you, the more the little old man liked him.

Could it be that I really misunderstood this kid before?

Looking at this honest and honest person who repays his kindness, why did he always think that this guy was a shameless guy who only knew how to take advantage?

When Ji Changze and the others went back, it was too late. The fish for the eldest sister could only be saved for the next day. In the village, Aunt Ji found a good reason for not going to work.

My nephew has a headache and needs help at home.

When Aunt Ji San's mother heard that the Ji family actually refused to let her daughter work because of Ji Changze, she immediately became anxious.

How can we do it if we don't work? How can we earn work points if we don't work? How can we buy food if we don't have work points? What kind of things does the Ji family do? They are willing to go hungry, so as not to harm her daughter.

Aunt Ji San and her mother came to her daughter angrily, ready to condemn the Ji family together with her.

Aunt Ji San: "I don't have a mother, so taking care of Nagaze is my own request."

Her mother: "???What??"

Aunt Ji San: "I watched this child grow up anyway. He was injured, and I was worried, so I'd better be by his side to take care of him."

Her mother thought her daughter was crazy.

"Didn't you say yesterday that he was unreliable and wouldn't do his job?"

"No, mother, don't listen to the nonsense I talked about yesterday. It's not that Nagasawa didn't work, he was injured. This kid is sensible and has good vision, and he really treats me as his aunt."

Aunt Ji San’s mother: “…”

Aunt Ji: "By the way, mother, you didn't go to your brother and tell the captain, did you? Don't go. Nagasawa will stop working if he can't do it. With uncles and aunts like us, how can we still starve him?"

Aunt Ji San’s mother: “…”

She recalled yesterday's daughter who said angrily that the Ji family was out of their minds, and then looked at the daughter who had become Ji Chui now.

It’s over, this is assimilation.
