Farmer’s Blessed Girl

The bookstore shopkeeper seemed to know that Bai Erlang didn't like reading, so as soon as he turned around and came in, he asked the man to bring him a stool to sit on, and also had someone bring him a plate of snacks to greet him.

The reason why he is so attentive is because their Bai family is a big client of their bookstore.

I dare not say that it is the largest, but it is also one of the limited number of large customers.

Not to mention that Bai Shanbao comes to their bookstore from time to time to buy books, ink, paper and inkstones, and Master Bai even buys some new books from their bookstore from time to time to store them.

He didn't know whether the other party read it or not, but the new books that came in, Master Bai basically had to keep a set.

And this young man doesn't look at the price when he buys things. He just depends on his preferences, so he will be more generous.

The shopkeeper greeted Bai Erlang with a smile, and in order to keep him from being bored, he held a cup of hot tea and chatted with him, such as what the young master was doing recently, what book he was reading...

Bai Erlang is bored, he doesn't like reading books, and it's not fun to go out alone.

The two chatted enthusiastically, while Man Bao and Bai Shanbao searched for good-looking books in their bookshelves.

When Yang Heshu walked into the bookstore, he saw Bai Erlang who was sitting at the counter talking at a glance. He subconsciously looked between the bookshelves in the bookstore, and sure enough, he saw the two children.

Yang Heshu couldn't help but smile and walked in with his hands behind his back.

As soon as the shopkeeper looked up and saw Yang Heshu, he immediately got up to greet him.

Yang Heshu smiled and squeezed his hands, let him sit down, and walked straight into the bookstore.

Bai Erlang also saw Yang Heshu, but instead of getting up, he said hello lazily, "Master Yang."

Yang Heshu nodded with a smile, stopped and asked, "Aren't you going to school today?"

"Sir, give us a holiday and let us buy abacus."

"Oh, are you going to learn abacus?" Yang Heshu looked at his stature and said with a smile, "It's fast, it seems that you are good at arithmetic."

The shopkeeper looked suspiciously, this is... an acquaintance?

Yang Heshu went directly into the bookshelf to find the book. Bai Erlang didn't bother him, but turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Where did we talk?"

The shopkeeper: "...Speaking of you guys going to the river to dig mud to make mud balls and fight."

"Oh, yes." Bai Erlang took a sip of tea and continued.

Nearly an hour later, Man Bao and Bai Shanbao each took out two or three books.

The shopkeeper didn't expect Man Bao to buy two books, so he couldn't help but ask with a smile, "Little lady, is this making money?"

Man Bao proudly said: "My father gave it."

The shopkeeper understood, this is free money, and it doesn't hurt to buy books.

The shopkeeper smiled and settled the bill for her, then went to count the books Bai Shanbao bought.

Man Bao spent all the money his father had given him, and then he was content to hand over his schoolbag to Daji, and when he turned around, he saw the Magistrate Yang standing behind him, and became happy, "Mr. Yang, what a coincidence."

Yang He Shule, "I've been here for more than half an hour, and it's only after three or four times that you found me."

Bai Shanbao also looked at him curiously.

Yang Heshu knew that the two children didn't find him. He coughed slightly awkwardly and said with a smile, "It's almost noon, how about I invite you to have lunch?"

"Okay, okay." Even Bai Erlang was happy and made suggestions, "We know which restaurant in the county is the best."

Yang Heshu burst out laughing and said, "I know that too."

There are only a few restaurants in the entire county, and only one big one, can he not know?

Although he has only been in office for three months, he has already eaten all the large and small restaurants in the county, and was almost bored enough to eat at the small stalls on the roadside.

Yang Heshu handed over the two books he selected to the shopkeeper, and asked the attendants to take them to the restaurant after checking out.

In the past, only cars and horses went in and out, but now they rely on their legs to go in and out. There is no way. If you ride a horse or take a car, you can go around the county in less than two quarters of an hour. What's the point?

In order to pass the time, it is better to walk with your legs, and you can always see different scenery.

The group arrived at the restaurant slowly, Yang Heshu didn't enter the box, but found a seat on the second floor to sit down.

The three of them found their seats and sat down. Bai Shanbao looked around and said, "I feel that the county town is more lively than before."

"Really?" Yang Heshu also looked left and right and said with a smile, "Maybe it was because the Spring Festival was busy and everyone didn't have time to come out. Now that the Spring Festival is over, everyone has time."

"Not all of them." Man Bao, who has been to the county the most, looked out the window and said, "It must be because we don't have to pay for entering the city, so everyone loves going to the city. Look, there are a lot of children down there."

Everyone looked downstairs and saw a group of children laughing and joking around a candy man. Every time the stall owner made a candy man, the children cheered.

Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang nodded in agreement.

Yang Heshu was stunned and asked, "What's the matter with the city entry fee?"

"Of course it's closed, there is no entry fee, everyone can enter the city if they want." Man Bao looked at Yang Heshu and said sincerely, "Mr. Yang, you are really a good county magistrate."

Yang Heshu: ... He did so many things along the way without being praised as a good county magistrate, just because he didn't need to pay the city fee?

Why did he cancel the entry fee?

Oh, because I don't think it's necessary.

One penny, two penny, it is impossible to make a detailed account, the soldiers guarding the gate, the general flag, and the main book above may be intercepted.

The money collected in the county government office every month is not much, but it wastes everyone's time and the people's time at the same time.

So he canceled.

But……

Yang Heshu was a little confused, "It's only a penny, will everyone not enter the city because of this?"

"Of course," Man Bao said as a matter of course: "I used to be able to buy a plain bun for a penny, and a candy man for two penny. If I and my nephews and nieces all enter the city, it will cost ten penny. Can buy five Sugar Guys."

Yang Heshu: ...It sounds like a lot.

"Since it costs ten cents, why don't you go into the city alone and buy delicious food with the remaining nine cents? We can just wait at home." Man Bao said, "In the past, the children in our village were I seldom go to the city, because it is too far, and after the entrance fee, adults don’t like to go to the city. If you are short of things, go to Daji to buy something. Brother often helps people in the village bring things."

Yang Heshu couldn't help clenching his hands. He never thought that the impact of the entry fee would be so great. Isn't this just a pennie or two?

Man Bao looked at him suspiciously, "Aren't you going to have to pay the city fee again?"

Yang Heshu recovered and shook his head with a smile, "No, the entry fee is not worth it."

"That's right, that's right, don't learn from Magistrate Fu, or I'll have to sell you candy."

Yang Heshu asked curiously, "Why are you selling me candy?"

Man Bao said solemnly: "In order to earn the city fee."
