Depressed little landlord

"What?" Looking at the little hand stretched out in front of him, Xiang Qing looked bewildered.

He looked up at Xu Yang hoping that he could give some hints, but the other party was busy moving the rice and had no time to pay attention to him. Lin Xuan was also busy, so he turned back to look at Douding in front of him and asked, "Uh, what is Xun'er doing?"

Douding didn't want to, so he received a straightforward look of contempt from Douding, but the crisp childish voice was not cute at all: "Idiot!"

Over there, Xu Yang couldn't see that he was being stupid, so he directly spoke up, but his expression and tone were not so obviously disgusting.

"Yinzi, you really are an idiot."

"..." Xiang Qing decided to ignore his friend's words, looked at Douding again and said with a smile: "So that's the case, how are you going to sell this chicken?"

Douding Linxun only hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his little hand again, staring fixedly at Xiang Qing without speaking.

Xiang Qing looked at the little hand in front of him, he reacted very quickly this time, so he deliberately teased him.

"How much does this mean? Xun'er didn't say a specific amount, and big brother doesn't know how much to give."

Xu Yang interjected again: "You will give it if you tell me?"

"Yes." Xiang Qing was also straightforward. He originally wanted to tease the children. His serious appearance was really cute. He looked at the two adults over there and asked for conditions: "But you are not allowed to remind."

"Xun'er~"

When Douding heard this, he also looked at his little meaty hands, tilted his head, his eyes lit up, and then, under Xiang Qingchu's interesting gaze, he began to nod with his fingers, although soft and sticky, everyone in the yard could hear clearly voice: "One, two, three, four, ... nine, ten."

Stretch out your hands, spread your ten short fingers to the maximum distance so that the other party can see clearly, and at the same time look at the other party with a pair of big eyes shining brightly.

And Xiang Qing also went from smiling at the corner of his mouth at the beginning to stiffening to twitching when he started counting, and finally looked at the little chubby finger in front of him almost dumbfounded, and then looked at someone who was already snickering, Xiang Qingmo.

But he wouldn't play tricks on a child for the water that was spilled out of what he said, so he silently took out his purse, but when he poured it out, he was embarrassed.

With a single copper plate in his hand, Brother Sifang Kong seemed to be grinning at him.

Xiang Qing Douding stared at him with big eyes, and finally a certain Douding's bright black eyes became darker and darker, his small mouth was flattened, his small face was full of disappointment, he silently withdrew his small hand, and silently ran to the side of the yard and squatted there to poke the ants .

Two big white geese walked over, one rubbed against the little master with its long neck, and the other pulled his trouser legs with its mouth, trying to attract the little master's attention.

Xiang Qing here immediately received a few contemptuous looks, Xiang Qing was embarrassed, and anxiously opened his mouth to defend: "Uh, well, I was in a hurry to go out today, and I forgot to bring money..."

While talking, he hastily followed Douding and squatted down next to Douding. He felt a little guilty under the contemptuous and condemning eyes of his parents, but he still sincerely apologized: "Really, Xun'er, big brother didn't mean it..."

"Liar!" Xiao Xiao whispered two words, and Douding turned around silently again.

"Ugh!" Seeing Douding Luoji's little back, Xiang Qing had a mouthful of old blood stuck in his chest, and could only look at Xu Yang Linxuan for help. He could swear to the sky that he really didn't mean it.

"Xun'er, be good~ After the food harvest at home is over, my brother will take you to the town, there will definitely be a lot of money there, and our chickens will definitely sell for a lot of money."

He has been watching the show all the time, heck, Lin Xuan, who was watching, guessed Xiao Linxuan's intentions halfway through, and felt warm and proud in his heart, so he was happy to watch the show, but now seeing his younger brother like this, his heart is full of distress , so he comforted him.

It's not that Xiao Douding in their family is reluctant to part with a chicken, because when he was feeding the chicken, he heard Lin Xuan talking about which of these chickens were raised for food and which ones could be sold for money, so he kept it in his heart after hearing too much That's why he was so looking forward to it when he heard that Xiang Qing wanted to buy it...

Hearing Lin Xuan's words, Douding couldn't bear it any longer. He ran over and hugged Lin Xuan's leg, buried his face in it, and burst into tears.

Lin Xuan was so distressed, he quickly bent down to hug him, and coaxed him softly: "Hey, it's okay, Xun'er is fine, he feeds our chickens and ducks very well, you only like it when you see Brother Qing, But he is your brother Xu Yang's friend, and he has helped our family a lot, so we should treat him to a chicken, right?"

It took a long time for the fluffy little head buried in his neck to move, indicating that he knew.

This time, Xiang Qing blamed himself even more, and stammered against Xu Yang's cold eyes: "Well...how about big brother giving Xun'er an IOU? I'll go get the money at dawn tomorrow. Look at it like this." Okay?"

Lin Xun moved again, only showing a little bit of his face, peeking, pursing his mouth and not speaking.

Xiang Qing was in a hurry, and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "I have a pen and paper in the car, I'll go and write right away, Xun'er, wait for me, I'll be back in a while."

As he spoke, he lifted his clothes and rushed to the backyard, because he planned to stay here tonight, so he put the carriage over there.

Lin Xuan opened his mouth and wanted to make it too late for anyone to see him sprinting for [-] meters from the back, tongue-tied.

"Uh, actually it's not necessary..."

Xu Yang didn't go to see the unlucky baby, but reached out to take Douding and hugged him, and wiped away his undried tears along the way. He just stated calmly, and he couldn't hear the schadenfreude in his words.

"Xiaoxuan, just leave him alone, that's what he deserves! Our family Xun'er is so capable, how can we let him have a good time? Besides, he doesn't lack this little money. This is the first time our Xun'er has opened his business. , How can we not charge the money, right? Let’s go and pick out with brother, we’ll pick one that’s fat enough and big enough, and I’ll give Xun’er a big chicken drumstick later.”

Douding didn't cry anymore, but because of crying, his moist eyes became brighter and clearer now. When he blinked, there were water droplets on his eyelashes, he said hesitantly: "The chicken-chick is not a big brother anymore. Can we still eat?"

"Yes, he is a friend of your brother and me, and he will stay at our house tonight. It's okay to treat us to some meat for dinner at our house. Doesn't Xun'er want to eat chicken legs?"

After hearing this, Douding couldn't help salivating when he thought of the chicken leg, but he hesitated when he thought that he had already sold it to someone else. He was about to speak when Xiang Qing blew back like a gust of wind.

"Give~"

Panting, he handed the paper to Douding, Xiang Qing smiled flatteringly, Lin Xun didn't answer it, but looked at this and that at a loss, Xu Yang took it for him, and handed it to Lin Xun beside him. Xuan.

"Uh!" Lin Xuan was also surprised at this meeting. He didn't expect Xiang Qing to write it. He glanced at his younger brother, pulled Xiang Qing to his side, turned his back and said quietly: "Brother Xiang, are you serious? It was coaxing Xun'er, you actually..."

Xiang Qing put away the smile on his face and said seriously: "It was my fault in the first place. Businessmen have to keep their promises, otherwise how would I do business in the future?"

"Besides, what Xu Yang said is right, this chicken was raised with great difficulty in your family. Cough, to tell you the truth, I was really greedy. Hey, I thought Xun'er and I bought the first one. Let’s open, and you will definitely have more and more chickens in the future.”

Lin Xuan was very grateful, "Thank you!"

Xiang Qing blinked like Lin Xun suddenly, and said: "If you really want to thank me, you can give me one for free next time, and sell it to me at a lower price in the future."

"That's fine."

"Hey, then..." Before Xiang Qing finished speaking, he felt someone poked his shoulder, and hurriedly turned his head to see Douding, who was bullied and crying by him before, just retracted his little hand.

Busily pulled away a smile that he thought was very kind: "Xun'er, what's the matter?"

Lin Xun pointed his fingertips together, peeked at him, and finally seemed to muster up the courage to look up at him and said: "I can charge less money and buy chicken legs."

Xiang Qing couldn't figure out why the chicken legs were involved for a while, but he agreed one step ahead of his brain: "Okay, yes."

As soon as Douding heard it, the cloudy weather turned sunny, and he narrowed his eyes with a smile, which seemed to have swept away the previous haze, Xiang Qing couldn't help but followed with a silly smile.

"Big brother is here."

"Huh? Good."

Although he didn't know why, he still followed, and when he found out that he was going to pick chickens to kill tonight, Xiang Qing immediately became full of energy again, and the chickens, two big and one small, drove around the yard and ran around.

Lin Xuan looked at the number written on the white paper in his hand, shook his head and laughed, and threw it into the ditch casually, where the white geese rushed up to fight for it.

—Twelve taels and a chicken, is his chicken a golden rooster?

He really doesn't understand the rich world.

This time I applied a lot of fertilizer, but I don’t know if it’s because of the second season. The harvest is not as much as before, but the whole village, old and young, are very satisfied. They are happy all day long, looking forward to waiting for the millet to dry Well, take it to the town for silver.

This time, Lin Xuan and the others took advantage of the market day to bring the food to be sold. This time, even the housekeeper Hua followed. Fulfill what Lin Xuan promised him before.

So they carried grain in one cart, two fat chickens in one cart, and two baskets of eggs.This is when the little hens in their family began to lay eggs one after another this summer. Lin Xuan saved the fertilized ones for the hens to try to hatch, and they ate the unfertilized ones themselves, and saved some to sell. Said that until now they have sold two baskets of this intermittently.

Lin Xun looked at the chickens in the coop, feeling a little bit sad, but he couldn't help being happy when he thought of selling money. He promised Qing very much before, and went to get the money back to him the next day. So far, the ingot of silver He even hid it in his brother's money jar~

The elder brother said that he sold it, so he kept the money himself, but it is safer to keep it for the elder brother!

Egg-Egg was picked up by him and Sister Xiaoju, and I will share it with my sister when I come back~ Well, and he will continue to work hard in the future to feed more chickens, so that he can earn a lot of money for his brother and also have a lot of meat eat~

Douding touched this for a while, and the egg for a while, and the smile on his face never stopped.

***

"That, my lord, is what you said true?"

After Lin Xuan and the others had finished trading rice with Qi Ling, they were about to set up a stall to sell chickens and eggs when they were suddenly invited to the county government office by two servants. After listening to each other's words, Lin Xuan's confused mood changed. In order to be excited, I couldn't hold back for a moment and asked again directly in front of others.

The county magistrate is in his forties. I don’t know if it’s because older people like to grow beards. The county magistrate also has two curls under his nose. He is caressing with one hand and smiling. Don't mind Lin Xuan's bluffing, and nodded without changing his expression.

The old master also laughed, and said it again on behalf of the county magistrate.

"That's right, our adults love talents. Master Lin, you not only solved the land problem in the village, but also boldly took the lead in planting a season of rice. If this is popularized, it will be a big deal for the people of our country. Congratulations, if the sage finds out, Long Yan will be delighted, therefore, the adults made this decision, and of course you should be rewarded for such a great contribution."

Lin Xuan tried his best to suppress the opening of his mouth, and humbly bowed his hands and said the words "don't dare" and "should".

Relying on bowing his head and bending over to face others invisible, Xu Yang blinked happily to one side, his heart was full of joy, he really didn't think of this, even now he didn't think too much, he only hoped that the county magistrate didn't just say Just talk, just give something practical.

Fortunately, when they were able to leave, they did not talk empty words. The yamen servant delivered a package to them. Xu Yang had a calm expression from the beginning to the end. He took the package calmly and thanked him calmly. Lin Xuan left the county government.

After leaving the crowd and retreating into an alley, Lin Xuan regained his sanity a little bit, weighed the package in Xu Yang's hand, and couldn't help showing a smirk on his face.

This weight must be quite a lot! Xu Yang had secretly told him what was inside before.

The more Lin Xuan thought about it, the more excited he became. "Hey~ Now we don't have to be afraid, we can build a house~"

Xu Yang looked down at him with a faint smile, and replied softly: "Well, you can do whatever you want, even if you take over all of Liu's land. But let's go back first, otherwise Grandpa and Xun'er will have to wait." Anxious."

"Ah, yes. Let's pick up Grandpa and the others first, and then go shopping."

"it is good."

"This time we can solve the problem at once, and next year you won't have to work so hard, and let other people do it."

Xu Yang didn't expect that he would still remember it, but if he wanted to buy someone, he should have told the yamen servants directly, but looking at Lin Xuan who was so happy all over, Xu Yang decided to wait until later.

As long as Xiaoxuan is happy.
