Chapter 3 Uncomfortable Conversations

Wang Lanling is not stupid, and Zhang Zhu is not talking about dynamic passwords, so after gradually figuring out the "correct pronunciation" of several numbers, things became much simpler.

Not only that, but because of his familiarity with the local language, Wang Lanling found that he was becoming more and more adaptable to the local discourse here.

What Zhang Zhu said, to Wang Lanling, was Mandarin that could be understood immediately.

Wang Lanling's words often have problems. Fortunately, Wang Lanling has an excuse, "Our teacher teaches this!"

People here like to speak more subject-predicate objects and meaningless auxiliary words, and like to sway the spirit of the words, highlighting a cultural tone.

So as long as you can find meaningless words in words, it will be much easier to understand.

However, everyone's speech and pronunciation are different. One ten can read out five tones.

The pronunciations of these people are similar, and there is no specified pronunciation for him to refer to and learn, and it is entirely based on people's words.

The revival emperor, who was suspected to be a time traveler, only simplified the text and opened a newspaper, but it was difficult for language to be unified before the television was popularized.

Such things are more difficult in this era than overthrowing a dynasty.

Zhang Zhu's face turned red, and she said awkwardly: "Listen to your teacher, I remember that my teacher taught me too."

Although the pronunciation is a little problem, Zhang Zhu knew that Wang Lanling was very good at math and would definitely graduate from elementary school.

After graduating from elementary school, I will be in junior high school. If I have good mathematics in junior high school, even if I have poor physics and chemistry, I can still take the entrance exam to the Craftsman Academy and learn some skills.

Zhang Zhu's father is a construction worker who graduated from the Craftsman Academy. Every year when Wangjiabao renovates and repairs a house, he calls Lao Zhang to check it out.

Lao Zhang said it was unstable, so everyone should treat it carefully, otherwise the house would be serious if it collapsed.

The building structure of Wangjiabao is very complex, and the construction department undertakes this project. Lao Zhang is one of the construction craftsmen sent to him and his status is not low.

When Wang Lanfeng was working, he happened to be working at home. He helped carry bricks and cement with the others. When he served tea and water to Lao Zhang, he was appreciated and gave him a daughter.

Lao Zhang has several children and six daughters.

Usually, except for the wife's daughter, the other concubines and daughters usually marry each other unless they like them very much.

I will give it to the unmarried young man who I like, and I won’t care about the bride price.

My wife’s daughter needs to climb up.

Because he is the daughter of his wife, he has to work hard and start preparing a generous dowry when he is seven or eight years old.

After confirming that Wang Lanling would be very good in the future, Zhang Zhu lifted the quilt and walked down to put on her shoes.

"You lie down for a while, I'll cut two taels of meat and give you a piece of noodles."

Wang Lanling also wanted to eat meat, so he said, "Please use my pocket money. I gave it a lot during the Chinese New Year, and there are fewer places to spend money in the future."

Although the two brothers live together, Wang Lanling felt it was not easy to continue spending their money because of their separate lives.

His pocket money and rewards he received from his elders were stored in Zhang Zhu.

Zhang Zhu heard this and said complainingly: "What are you saying? With your elder brother and I, can you still spend your money? If this is spread, others will say that I am sour and vicious, and I will be retribution..."

Zhang Zhu became more and more aggrieved the more she spoke, and she lowered her head and started crying quietly.

Wang Lanling quickly said, "Sister-in-law, I'm wrong. Don't cry. I won't say that in the future."

Zhang Zhu wiped her tears, gave a few more instructions and then put on a leather jacket and went out.

Wang Lanling sighed helplessly. Zhang Zhu has two sons, only one year apart.

Two years ago, I went back to my hometown to visit my relatives. Two three-year-old children were trampled to death by wild boars while playing in the fields. Since then, I have never been to the countryside.

The countryside here is full of mountainous areas and swamps, poor mountains and bad water, and flat roads are either bustling towns and fertile fields, or emerging cities like Heishui County that are close to water sources and have convenient transportation.

Although his brother and sister-in-law treat him well, Wang Lanling still wants to start a family and start a business as soon as possible and live alone.

Wang Lanling, who is used to living alone, is not used to living like this kind of life where thousands of people are crowded in one building.

I have to go to the toilet more than 100 meters away, and I have to listen to the corner every ten days and a half months. It is really inconvenient.

***

Zhang Zhu walked outside with her wallet and vegetable basket, and there were already people from the rest of the family in the corridor to prepare lunch.

The rooms used in living rooms will be equipped with drainage pipes, which are small pits as big as bowls, with barbed wire on them, and can only pour water.

If you don't dislike the smell, you can also urinate in the room.

This drainage tank can only pour water. If you want to get water, your own man needs to go to the rope ladder to fetch water.

The family of Changfang's family was filled with servants using carts to deliver water on time, whether it was cold or hot water.

When walking down the stairs, Zhang Zhu saw Xu Chun who lives on the fourth floor of the South District.

Xu Feng looked up at Zhang Zhu and smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Zhang, are you going out?"

Zhang Zhu also responded: "Yes, isn't you just coming back?"

"Yeah, it's so cold outside today." Xu Chun and Zhang Zhu were talking.

After standing and making polite confrontation with each other for two minutes, Xu Chun said, "I went out today and heard something. The big house opposite the east of the city sold tea eggs was bought."

Zhang Zhu asked curiously: "Who? Last time my second uncle wanted to buy that house, the old man couldn't handle it. Who is so handsome?"

Xu Feng smiled and said proudly: "Let me tell you, it's the county magistrate who came to take office in the beginning of spring!"

Zhang Zhu quickly said: "Is it the county magistrate? Did you come from the imperial examination or from another place?"

The county magistrate is a local parent and can punish anyone below like he beats his son.

Unlike the previous dynasty, since the former emperor strengthened the court's rights, the county magistrates in every place have obtained great power.

In addition to the county magistrate, there is also an official position called county magistrate.

This official position is directly responsible to the court, and directly controls some of the county magistrate's government orders. It is also responsible for the dispatch of the city defense army, but does not participate in government affairs for ordinary people.

Generally, at the county level, there must be a local among the county magistrate and county governors. There can only be one county level, and there cannot be one at the state level!
