Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

Gu Huanxi was almost fooled by him. He twitched the corner of his mouth and asked teasingly, "I tried to persuade you several times before, but you didn't realize it. Why did you suddenly realize it?"

Xu Huaiyi laughed dryly, "When this inspiration comes, no one can stop it."

Gu Huanxi rolled her eyes at him angrily, "You were inspired by the refugees, right? Why are you so afraid to admit it? Don't you just sympathize with them, but you can't do anything about them, so you turn your grief and anger into strength? Oh, you still use me and the child As a shield, did you have the idea to protect us the first day?"

Xu Huaiyi opened his mouth, but couldn't hold the words for a while.

Gu Huan was happy to see him like this, but her heart softened. How could she still not know her man's nature? When you are smart, you are really smart, and when you are stupid, you are really stupid. She softened her tone and said softly, "Do you still remember what I told you before, if you are poor, you can be alone, and if you are prosperous, you can help the world?"

Xu Huaiyi nodded and said with a wry smile, "Daughter-in-law, I understand..."

Gu Huanxi interrupted, "No, you still don't quite understand. In the past, because of your professional relationship, I didn't stop you from doing anything. How did you help others solve their problems? How did you risk yourself to save others, even at the expense of your own interests? , I didn’t say anything to help others, because it was your job, your belief, and your kindness. Sometimes I was angry with you, but I was also concerned and worried about you, but I didn’t deny your contribution. Even, I I am proud of you, because my husband is a kind-hearted hero who pursues his faith..."

Xu Huaiyi was moved when he heard this and couldn't help but hold her hand, "Happy..."

After analyzing it so thoroughly for the first time, Gu Huanxi felt a little uncomfortable. She smiled at him and changed the subject, "I support you if you want to study hard and pursue an official career, but you really don't need to put so much pressure on yourself. I I admire and respect heroes, but I don’t want you to be a hero, because heroes are too tired and have to face danger all the time. I am reluctant and afraid. Therefore, I don’t want you to regard the suffering of those refugees as your responsibility. In fact, You have done a good job now. You did not care about the refugees, but you changed the situation of the villagers in Xujiacun. Look over there..."

Xu Huaiyi looked in the direction she pointed, where the villagers gathered.

Sitting by the stove fire, some of the villagers couldn't help but lie down and rest, and some chatted in low voices. Most of the young people were talking and laughing, boasting about their experiences on the road. The women were busy cooking, with relaxed faces. , no longer worried about food shortages, the children are the most carefree, chasing and playing, laughing happily.

Compared with the bleak and helpless refugees in the distance, the mental outlook of the people in Xujiacun really does not look like those who are fleeing famine. To say that they are traveling around is an exaggeration, but to say that they are traveling or bringing their families with them is an exaggeration. It is still credible to go to the capital to visit relatives.

Although they had a hard time traveling and encountered some troubles along the way, they were all lucky and even got a few blessings in disguise. All of this luck was due to Xu Huaiyi.

Gu Huanxi said softly, "You can't help thousands of refugees, but the stability and peace of these hundreds of people is what you brought to them. Maybe in the future, they will change their destiny because of you. It's all because of you." Your goodness is merit and belief. You are not doing your best, you are doing your best to help the world."

Xu Huaiyi said no more. Silence was better than sound at this moment. He put his arms around his wife's shoulders and hugged her into his arms. What more could a husband ask for if he had a wife like this?

Ah Li, who was sandwiched between his parents, turned his head to look at this, then turned to look at that, grinning brightly with his toothless mouth.

When the couple went back with their daughter in their arms, dinner was already ready. Under Gu Huanxi's guidance, Wei Ci's craftsmanship improved rapidly. Even simple ingredients could be as delicious as possible.

Even Doctor Jiao praised him several times.

Tonight's main dish is a simplified version of Sixi meatballs. Wolf meat is hard to bite, hard to eat and has a strong fishy smell. Gu Huanxi taught Wei Ci how to chop the wolf meat and lotus root and add several flavors. After adding seasonings, forming them into balls, frying them slowly in oil, and then boiling them in soup base, the finished product was quite acceptable.

At least for now, it's a rare delicacy.

After Gu Huanxi tasted one, he praised Wei Ci.

Wei Ci's face turned red with excitement, and she said to Wei Liang in private, "Brother, my wife is kind to others, she never beats or scolds me, and she patiently teaches me many things. It is my blessing to follow such a wife. I will definitely do it in the future." I need to serve my wife more attentively..."

What Wei Liang was thinking about was the scene where Gu Huanxi threw a cup at Butler Yao when they disagreed, and the other villagers who showed more or less fear and timidity during the confrontation with the bandits a few days ago, except for her expression. They are self-possessed, calm and collected, unlike the women who live in the backyard. Such people will only be kind to those who do not threaten them, and when faced with harm, they will definitely turn against them.

As for teaching things, this is true. He was surprised by the generosity of the hostess's wife. She seemed to be unaware of her own abilities. She would give pointers to anyone who asked her and never hid them. Could it be that those things, It's not a secret recipe?

This was different from his previous understanding. Later he also figured out that it was not that the things she taught were unimportant, but that they were unimportant to her and did not need to be kept secret, because she had more important housekeeping skills, so I won’t be stingy about sharing something simple and easy to learn.

After the villagers finished their meals, they all gathered around to listen to Xu Huaiyi's story. Xu Huaiyi's Journey to the West was almost coming to an end under their urging.

Mr. Liao came over and overheard it one time, and he became obsessed with it. From then on, he couldn't control it. He would come and sit there every night. When Xu Huaiyi finished speaking, he would hold Xu Huaiyi for a few words before giving up.

Tonight was no exception.

Mr. Liao listened with great interest, but after Xu Huaiyi finished speaking and the crowd dispersed, he whispered, "The Pingjiang Mansion in front looks a bit weird to me. Should we go and inquire about it tomorrow before we talk about our journey?"

Xu Huaiyi took a sip of pear candy and moistened his throat. After hearing this, he asked curiously, "What do you think is weird? Didn't the Li family and the Zhao family enter the city smoothly?"

Mr. Liao was in his early forties, with a bulging belly and a slightly wealthy appearance. He stroked his short beard and said meaningfully, "It's because they entered the city successfully that this seems weird."

Xu Huaiyi reacted and said "oh" suddenly.

After passing Pingjiang Mansion, we will be closer to the capital. If everything goes well, we can arrive in ten or eight days. And the closer we are to the capital, it means that there will be a lot less messy things, such as bandits. Whoever dares to cause trouble under the emperor's feet is not waiting to be wiped out?

But in front of Pingjiang Mansion, things are not so peaceful. As the number of refugees gradually increases, pressure from prefectural and county governments at all levels also comes. Officials have different attitudes towards the refugees, some comfort them, some disperse them, and only a handful of them are willing to provide relief. , there are even fewer people who open their doors easily like Pingjiang Mansion.

Because the high-priced city entry fee was confiscated, this is the biggest weirdness.

Xu Huaiyi would not naively think that the prefect of Pingjiang Prefecture was an honest and good official.
