The fertile water of farming does not flow to outsiders' fields

"What happened next?" the little scholar asked.

"Afterwards, I immediately beat the drums to protest my grievances. The county magistrate was promoted to the court for review and ordered the criminal Chen Liang to be brought to the scene. Before he was sentenced, Chen Liang was recruited one after another. The general situation was similar to what I inferred... Finally, because of the If it is serious, it will be punished with [-] boards and then put in death row, and the name will be reported to the imperial court and will only be executed later in the autumn."

The little scholar stared at him for a long while before he said, "Are you really good at solving cases, or have you just hit a dead mouse like a blind cat?"

Xue Yinsong thought in his heart that I had indeed hit a dead mouse, but he said in his mouth: "If it is so easy to hit a dead mouse, why don't you hit one and let me see?"

Speaking of this point, the scholar is convinced: "Forget it, I don't think I have the day." Xue Yinsong couldn't help but feel complacent: "Dani's nest of shelducks is already at my house, but I have to dig a hole in the backyard for them." Taking a shower is very troublesome."

The little scholar wondered: "Didn't all the ducks go into the river? You just let them out." Xue Yinsong laughed and said, "You are stupid, once they are released, they all go back to Dani's house, why would they go back to my house? The duck can only be released if it recognizes the door of my house.”

The little scholar nodded obediently, but sneered disdainfully: "When someone does good deeds without leaving a name, you still want to extort money. This is not what a gentleman would do."

Xue Yinsong raised his eyebrows and said, "Why do I want to be a gentleman? Besides, being a gentleman doesn't require rewards? But I wanted it in my heart, but I pretended to be upright on the surface and didn't want it, distorting my nature. Is this called a gentleman?" gone?"

Xiao Xiucai was choked by him but could not speak, and could only stare blankly.

Seeing this, Aunt Huan walked over and said with a smile, "Come and taste the newly made egg dumplings. My skills are not good, so don't laugh at me."

Xue Yinsong took a bowl, and put an egg dumpling in it. The tender yellow egg skin was bulging, and a few chopped green onions were sprinkled on top, and the fragrance was overflowing. He swallowed it all with his tongue, applauding again and again.

The little scholar also ate half of one, and praised: "Aunt Huan's craftsmanship is really good, and she is also modest." Aunt Huan explained with a smile: "It's really the first time I make it, and the meat stuffing is also made by Dayong, so I just baked it." It's just a skin."

"The skin alone is enough to boast about. The skin is tough and elastic, the surface is slightly burnt, but the meat filling is tender and delicious. It's really a skillful effort." Xue Yinsong said and did not forget to feed half of the cat to Changhui.

Father Xue mixed the skin and fat leftover from minced meat and chopped it into pieces and handed it to his son, asking him to feed it to the fox.Xue Yinsong took a look and thought that foxes might not eat them. Sure enough, the four little foxes just walked away after smelling them, and hid in a nest made of dry grass and branches in the corner of the room.

Even someone with rich breeding experience like Mr. Xue didn't mind seeing it. Xue Yinsong even had a headache. He opened the fox's mouth and saw that it had already grown thin and small teeth. It must be able to eat a little bit of meat, but Why don't you eat a bite?

Xue Yinsong returned to the kitchen and studied carefully for a long time, took the minced meat and the first half of a raw egg, afraid of being seen by his father, he secretly took them to the Westinghouse, the little fox smelled it this time, although It's still not a favorite, but at least I ate a few bites.

These little foxes lost their mothers, so it was really difficult to support them, Xue Yinsong thought for a while, wrapped the four little foxes in an old dress and carried them to the east room, stuffed them all under the quilt.

It was too cold this day, the fox had only a layer of fluff on its body, and without a female fox, it could only rely on human body heat to feed it through the winter. The only problem was how to explain it to Xiucai at night.

Changhui was afraid at first, but later he realized that the fox was just like a puppy in the village. He gradually became more courageous and even dared to hold him in his arms and pet him.Seeing this, Xue Yinsong hurriedly coaxed him: "Do you like this fox? How about we hug him to sleep at night?"

Changhui hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Okay, okay, I want these two to hug and sleep."

"Have you asked your father? Your father won't agree," Xue Yinsong took the opportunity to slander: "Your father doesn't like these things the most. He definitely doesn't agree. Aba won't. If you are willing to sleep in your arms, Aba will Definitely agree."

Changhui's eyes bulged, and he let the fox go and ran to the backyard: "Father! Daddy!" After a while, the little scholar who was still eating egg dumplings came: "Father, do you allow me to sleep with the little fox at night? "

"No," Xiao Xiucai refused without disappointing everyone's expectations: "The fox is dirty and smelly, get out of bed quickly, and don't put it in the quilt again."

Xue Yinsong gave Changhui a look of "I knew it would be like this", and Changhui started to play with anger: "No! I'm going to put it on the bed! No! I have to let it go!"

The little scholar wanted to object again, but Chang Hui had already rolled on the ground and began to cry while rolling. This little rascal knows a lot of things now, and rolling the ground is his special skill.Father Xue and Aunt Huan also rushed over when they heard the crying, coaxing Changhui up before asking what happened.

Xue Yinsong stood silent, and the little scholar was also angry, pointing to the nest of trembling foxes, he said, "Pei Changhui, take the foxes away for me right away, I don't want to see them again before I go to bed at night!" Then he turned and walked away go.

It was the first time seeing Xiao Xiucai get angry, Xue Yinsong and his father looked at each other in surprise, and even Changhui felt bored, so he got up from tears and shouted timidly: "Aba..."

Xue Yinsong hurriedly picked him up and said, "If Daddy says no, then he won't. From now on, you can tell me what you want, and don't roll around on the ground, because adults only like obedient and good children, do you understand?" Changhui hung up Nodding with two tears.

Xue Yinsong sighed and put down his son, packed up the fox and went to the Westinghouse. The fox cub he bought with great difficulty must not freeze to death in vain.Today's weather is obviously dry and cold, and the north wind is blowing in gusts. It may be freezing tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. At night, this fox cannot be separated from anyone.

Father Xue saw the problem, and walked into the west room and said, "I still have an old cotton padded coat, you can use it to wrap the fox around at night." Xue Yinsong shook his head: "The temperature of the little fox is too low, and it can't be seen after wearing the cotton padded coat." If it works, I will wear your cotton padded coat at night and I will hug you all night."

Xue Laode thought about it for a while and complained: "The whole thing is useless, what kind of fox should you raise properly!"

Xue Yinsong was also a little unhappy at first, but when he heard the words, he contradicted loudly: "Isn't it also for this family? This land only has 2 acres, and we have to manage food and exchange money, but the food grown is not enough for everyone. I What can I exchange for money? The spring scholar has to take an exam, so you have to spend money on the road? Do you have to buy seeds in the spring? The family members have to change into single clothes in the spring, right? The rice, noodles, and meat you usually eat always need money. Where am I going to get money? It’s fine if you say that a scholar is ignorant and get angry, but you are here to join in the fun!”

After hearing this, Father Xue sighed and said, "Tiger, you can't do this. You have to tell the scholar to take back some of the land. The 2 mu of land is not enough."

Xue Yinsong said: "What can I do, this land is not mine, he rents it if he wants, it's not my turn to intervene!"

Father Xue wanted to persuade him again, but he suddenly caught a glimpse of the little scholar standing at the door, shut his mouth and turned around to leave.Xue Yinsong turned his head and glanced at Xiucai, he didn't have anything to say, he went to the corner to collect the straw, and put a few little foxes in his arms into it.

Little Xiucai stood at the door for a while, and after listening to most of what he said just now, he realized that other than food, other places in this family also cost money, and he rented out the land because of a momentary soft-heartedness, which caused The biggest reason for this family's lack of money, I couldn't help but soften my voice and walked over and said: "Brother Xue, when I rent it next year, I will tell the tenant that we will take back all the land and plant it ourselves."

Xue Yin gave a sigh of grace.

The little scholar said again: "If you don't have money, you won't take the exam next year, and it doesn't matter if you wait two more years."

Xue Yinsong sighed inwardly, and replied calmly: "You don't need to worry about family affairs, you just study hard, as long as you can guarantee to pass the exam once, it will be considered your greatest contribution."

The little scholar dawdled for a while and said, "Let Chang Hui sleep with your father at night, and you sleep with me, the fox... the fox should also sleep in the quilt, you got the hedgehogs in exchange, you can't let them die of cold. "

Xue Yinsong didn't say a word, Xiao Xiucai hurriedly added: "Actually, foxes are not dirty. You see, they all lick their fur. I'm actually afraid that Changhui will be bitten..."

Xue Yinsong's eyes were a little wet. He never thought of making the little scholar feel wronged, but now that a penny suffocates a hero, and now that their family is at their worst, every penny must be used tightly. The seeds and travel expenses have not yet been settled. He wants to raise this litter of foxes in order to have more income in the future. Next year, he must cultivate the land well. As long as he lasts another year, it will definitely get better and better in the future.

"Don't talk about it," Xue Yinsong turned to look at him and said, "I will wear my father's old padded jacket and come here to sleep with a fox in my arms, and you will sleep with Changhui. It will snow these few days, and wait until spring begins. It's getting warmer every day, so the fox should be fine."

Little Xiucai hurriedly grabbed him and said, "I didn't say this because I was afraid that you would be sad. I really wanted the fox to sleep on the bed. You have suffered a lot for me and Changhui. In fact, I know it all. I'm fine now. But you should be careful about your status, since our fox is now a new hope of making money, of course you have to take good care of it, shhh, don't talk about it, just listen to me this time, okay, old..."

Xue Yinsong was shocked. As early as two months ago, he coaxed Xiao Xiucai to call him husband. Who would have thought that Xiucai would not call him husband, but now, with this soft sound, his three souls and six souls were taken away, and he couldn't help it. Believe your ears.

"What did you call me?"

"Husband," Xiao Xiucai blinked, "Didn't you say last time that your father called you a tiger, so I have to call you husband?"

"Do you listen to everything I say?"

"En," Xiao Xiucai agreed, "I will listen to whatever you say in the future."

"Then I want you to hold me now, hurry up!" Xue Yinsong ordered.
