Little wealth

As soon as the county magistrate said that he wanted to go to the field, the village head quickly said: "My lord, you can't do this."

"It's okay, don't underestimate me, I can do the work in the field." County Magistrate Fu's words are not deceiving. In his first year as a county magistrate in Anyang, he followed the farmers to work in the fields. I don't know how many times I've played this.

Seeing their master raising his hand, the servants behind him consciously stepped forward to roll up their master's sleeves without waiting for the master to call him, rolling up one side and then rolling up the other side.

"This..." Seeing that the county magistrate really wanted to go to work in the fields, the village chief really didn't know how to stop him, so he had to look at the kid from the Zhao family.

Zhao He looked at this county magistrate who was eager to go to the land, and he really didn't know how to persuade him when he received the look from the village chief.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance when you came here?" Qiao Xu was talking to Bai Luoxi in a low voice, and when he saw the two children hugging each other, he also laughed. Surprise and surprise.

Bai Luoxi replied with a smile: "We also made a temporary decision to follow. I haven't seen you for a few days. I look at Xiao Nuomi and miss you all day long. I often go to the door to see if you are here. It just so happens that Nuomi's father is coming to your village today, so I wanted to bring Nuomi to your place to play and see if I could meet you."

Josh imagined in his mind that this cute little dumpling would often run out of the door, wanting to see if they had come, and then returning with a disappointed face, he couldn't help feeling sorry for the child, and explained: "Recently, the family is I was a little busy, so I didn't go to the town to set up a stall, and I was thinking of going to the town to find you after the family collected the grain."

"Our family also thinks about Xiao Nuomi every day, and calls him brother in his dreams. It's true, Xiao Nuomi is older than him, and he still calls Xiao Nuomi brother all day long. It can't be corrected."

"Hehe, the relationship between the two of them is even better than ours."

"That's right. We are also good, not worse than them."

The two adults looked at the two children who had a good relationship, with smiles on their faces.

Over there, Mr. Xu has taken people to inspect the crops in the field. Although he has never been to the field to work, but from the crops growing in the fields on both sides, it can be seen that the crops in this field are really growing. Be better.

Hearing Mr. Fu said that he was going to work in the fields, this general who had never worked in the fields also said: "I will go with you too."

"Oh, this is my friend from Kyoto, surnamed Xu." Fu Wenqing remembered that he had not introduced this Mr. Xu, but he also knew that Xu Ren was out of Beijing on the order of the one in Kyoto, so he also The identity of Master Xu was not indicated, only a friend surnamed Xu.

Turning around, I thought of Mr. Xu jokingly: "You should have never worked in the fields in the capital, so I just took the opportunity to experience it today, to experience the difficulty of life for us ordinary people."

"Hehe, yes." Xu Ren knew that Master Fu regarded him as a friend, which was to praise him. The civil servants in the court have always looked down on their generals, but from this Master Fu, he couldn't see the slightest bit. So I like dealing with this young Mr. Fu.

As soon as Zhao He heard it, he knew that this person surnamed Xu from Kyoto must also be an adult, but seeing that the county magistrate did not reveal the identity of the other party, he naturally pretended not to know, and went to find two scythes.

There are only four sickles in their family. Now two more people want to go to work in the field. The sickles in the hands of Josh and his mother are given away, so there are no extra sickles, and the rest want to go to the field with them. For those who work, there is no sickle to use.

"Xi'er, why don't you bring glutinous rice to Zhao's house to sit for a while, and I'll come up to you after I help collect the crops." Before Mrs. Fu was about to go to work in the fields, he did not forget about his husband and children who followed him.

When Bai Luoxi saw that the county magistrate of their family wanted to go to work in the fields, he did not stop him, and replied with a smile: "You can just go about your business and leave us alone. We will stop here for a while and then go to Qiao Lang's house." go."

"Okay, okay, I'll go find you when I finish my work." Seeing that there was still a maid following over there, Master Fu didn't worry about Fulang and the child, and went down to the ground with a sickle.

Seeing that their master was about to go to work in the fields, the servant who was serving beside him went to ask the master for a bamboo hat for their master to wear on his head. He was afraid that their master would be tired, and he helped them from front to back. Take things, hold the grain cut by their master with both hands, put it aside, and then go back to get it. After running like this repeatedly, I don't feel tired at all.

Mr. Fu was working in the field with a sickle, his posture of bending over and holding a sickle was very standard, and he had learned it seriously from the old farmer.Holding the heavy wheat in his hand, he couldn't help saying: "This wheat grows really well." He was very happy when he thought that the common people could grow such good crops in the future and they would no longer have to go hungry.

He has already handed over the booklet to the emperor before, and he has no control over other places, but in the future, for all the villages in Anyang, he will send people to the fields to promote and teach the people to cultivate crops better, and strive for the land of each village in the future. Can grow such good food.

As for Mr. Xu next to him who had never worked in the field, he was holding a scythe and was a little confused. He watched how others used it and learned how to harvest crops like that.Fortunately, he is skilled in his hands, so it doesn't bother him to harvest a little crop with a sickle.

Looking at Mr. Fu in front again, he thought that he would not be able to lose to the military officer as a military general, the sickle in his hand fell faster than before, and the crops harvested were more than before.

Mr. Fu saw that this was okay, if Xu Ren, a Beijing official who had never been to the land, was to surpass him in work, where would he put his face as the magistrate of Anyang, so he couldn't help speeding up his hands.

The two adults began to compare without knowing it, you don't let me go faster than you, I don't let you go faster than you, and soon each of them put a small pile of crops.

The Zhao family brothers who were working with their heads down did not notice this, so Zhao He just kept his head buried in his work.Zhao Hu glanced back, and asked his brother in a low voice, "Brother, do you really want the county magistrate to help us work?"

"Huh?" Aren't they doing something?

Zhao He raised his head and glanced at the questioning younger brother, wasn't it requested by the two adults?Can they still say no?Since the two adults want to help, let them help, and they can have a few more helpers.Glancing back at the two adults who were really helping them with work, he replied to his brother, "Do your job, don't talk."

"Oh." Zhao Hu couldn't figure out what the adults were thinking, so he kept his head down and worked obediently.

Handfuls of rice were harvested and put back, and piled up while harvesting, and soon the latter piled up all the way.

The two brothers in the front don't need to work hard, and they work faster than the two adults in the back. No matter how hard the two adults try, they can't beat the two brothers in the front who often work in the fields.

***

Seeing that her husband was working hard in the field, Bai Luoxi was not worried or felt sorry for her husband at all, she turned her head and said to Josh: "Let's not care about them, they can do whatever they like, and when they are tired, they can do whatever they want." The meeting is coming."

"Hehe, the magistrate loves the people like a child, he is a good man." Josh had a very good impression of the magistrate. The magistrate has been to them twice, and this is the second time. Every time there is no airs, and now they go to the fields with their men to collect grain, and let them rest on the side.

On the contrary, Zhao A'mu felt a little uneasy. These adults went to work in the fields, and he was at a loss for what to do by letting them idle around.

"Don't let him listen to what you say, or he will be proud for a long time later." Bai Luoxi joked about their county magistrate in a low voice, and she didn't have the airs of an official's wife.He felt that he was just luckier at the beginning, and chose a good husband, and this good husband also lived up to his expectations, passed the exam, and made him the number one husband.

After they got married, they didn't have a good life in the capital for a few days, so he took his young child and followed her husband to Anyang to take up his post, and became a little county magistrate's wife.Although Kyoto is bustling and bustling, the interpersonal communication there is complicated and there are many things. It is not as peaceful and simple as here in Anyang. He also made a good friend here.

If you say that he has no temper, he is also a person who has no temper, but he is not able to talk to everyone, and he is willing to associate with them. They are all friends he likes and can really talk to.A friend does not lie in the length of time you have known each other, but in whether this person is worthy of your friendship. Some people have not known each other for a long time, but it is as if they have known each other for half a lifetime. In his eyes, Josh is his one such a friend.

There were smiles in the eyes of the two acquaintances, Josh could hear the smile in Bai Luoxi's words, and the gentleness on this one's face every time he talked about her husband, he knew that the relationship between Bai Luoxi and the county magistrate should be Yes, "Let's just whisper it, and no one will listen."

***

The sun in the east is gradually rising, and the sun is shining on the whole field.

At this moment, the sun has risen, and the temperature has risen a little. They are a little hot standing here basking in the sun.

Seeing the two children running back towards them, Josh caught the cub who was rushing towards him, and suggested: "Why don't you come to our house and sit for a while, drink some water and rest." He knew that Bai Luoxi and the child had just After getting off the carriage, I came to find them as soon as I got off the carriage, and I may not have sat down to rest yet.

"Okay, I just went to see what your house is like. We haven't been to your house to play." Bai Luoxi bent down and wiped the little brother's face and forehead with a handkerchief, and held the child's hand.

The three-year-old Xiao Nuomi is very obedient, and obediently follows when adults hold hands.

Only Zhao Xiaonian next to him was dishonest if he was held by an adult, and he even stretched out a hand to hold the little brother's hand, and he was not satisfied until he got the little brother's hand.

Josh glanced at their son who had to hold someone else's hand, feeling a little helpless in his heart.Looking at their Ah Mu, he said, "Em, why don't you go back with us." After speaking, he turned his head and introduced to Bai Luoxi, this is their Ah Mu, that is, the child's Ah Mu.

Zhao Amu hurriedly waved her hands, said no, and said, "It's good that I'm here, you go back." There's no reason to let the old man go to work in the field, and they go home and sit, he waits here, After a while the elders will come up, so he can go down to work.

"Ah, why don't you go back with us, it's enough to have them here to help, we don't need it." Knowing that this is Josh's Ah Mu, Bai Luoxi also spoke with respect, he looked at There are already so many people here, there is really no need for more people to stay here and wait.

So Zhao Amu had no choice but to say "OK." Following behind her grandson and daughter-in-law, she looked at the county magistrate husband with a little curiosity and caution in her eyes.

Seeing their little grandson playing so well with the county magistrate's husband Lang's little brother, it was incredible.Thinking of the last time the daughter-in-law took her grandson to the town to find someone, and the little grandson was still talking about her younger brother when she came back, could it be this county magistrate's wife and their young son who were looking for it?

"Let's go, it's not very far to go back, and we'll be there in a few steps." Josh could see his mother's nervousness and unnaturalness. He knew that the concept of hierarchy in this world was particularly strong. In the eyes of the common people, the official and the officials are all superior figures, so it is no wonder that he, Mu, and the others can't let go.

It's just that he came from another world, and the concept of hierarchy in him is very weak, or even non-existent.Whether it is an official or an official husband, in his eyes, he is no different from ordinary people, which is why after learning of Bai Luoxi's identity, he did not put Bai Luoxi in a high place position, still treating him as an ordinary friend.

And the children in their family are young, so they don't have this kind of concept in their hearts. In the eyes of the children, the one next to him is his good friend and favorite brother, and there is nothing else.

The path beside the field is not very wide, with grass growing on both sides, and there is a path in the middle that can be used by one person.

"Don't hold brother's hand, let go of brother's hand."

Their little brat insisted on holding someone else's hand, it would be impossible to go this way!Josh helplessly reminded the little boys in their family to let go of other people's hands and walk in line one by one, "Go on your way, don't fall."

The adults walked one after the other, and the two children walked in the middle.

There was a small slope when going up, and they led the two children up.Josh led the child and walked behind, reminding those who walked in front: "It's a bit steep here, don't fall."

"Be careful too." Bai Luoxi pulled the child and walked ahead, he wouldn't fall over the child in this kind of place.

Today he took the child out, and there were not many servants around him, only a big maid who was often used to go out.

Mei Lan has served by their master's side for seven or eight years. She was the dowry maid who followed their master from Bai's house to Fu's house. It can be said that she is the maid who has been by their master's side for the longest time.She was accompanied by a sister named Qiu Ju, but she stayed at the mansion today and did not go out with them.

She had seen Qiao Fulang bring his children to their house twice before, and she knew that their master liked this husband and their children, and their young master seemed to like this family very much too. Therefore, she has a good impression of Qiao Fulang and their young master.

She followed along in the middle, sent their master and young master up, and she even stretched out her hand to pull the people behind them up.

"No, no, you go your own way. We are used to this road, we can go up by ourselves, don't worry about us." Josh pulled the child up, not feeling that there was anything wrong with going up such a small slope.

After going up the small steep slope, the road above is wider, and there is no problem for an ox cart to pass.

The wild vegetables born in spring have grown very tall and big. After spring, these wild vegetables are no longer edible.At this time, no one will come to pick these wild vegetables and eat them. Only cattle herders will bring their cattle to these places to graze and eat the old leaves of these leaves.

From a distance, I saw a cow grazing, and a calf followed by it.

"Moo-"

"Moo~"

There was a long bleat from the front, and crisp and tender bleats from the back. The one who learned the horns was not the wild boy of their family.

The calf listened to people imitating the sound of a cow, and also mooed in response.

"Hey, this kid doesn't even know if he was reincarnated from a cow in his previous life." Josh couldn't help laughing when he heard his son meowing like a cow.

The two children let go of their adults' hands, and saw their son holding the little brother's hand with a smile. They didn't know what they were telling the truth to the little brother. Both children had bright smiles on their faces. .

The big yellow dog at home ran to the front to lead the way. After walking a few steps, he turned his head and looked back. Seeing them following, he continued to run forward.

"Go slowly, wait for us." Josh could only shout from behind.

Xiao Nuomi even glanced back at them, as if she wanted to stop and wait for them, but their son held his little brother's hand and walked forward without looking back.

Qiao Xu smiled and said to Bai Luoxi: "This kid has grown up a bit and knows his way home, so he doesn't want us anymore, but he's too proud."

"It's just that children grow up fast, and they've grown so big every year. Every time I think of Xiao Nuomi leaving me when he grows up, I feel too uncomfortable." Bai Luoxi looked at the two hands The children who walked together hand in hand, thought that their little Nuomi used to not even go out, but now he was taken away when he went out, and he was too sad to even want him as a little daddy.

"They are still young, and it will take many years until they grow up. Don't think about things so far away. The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. If you think too much now, it's useless to worry about going too far." Josh also helped to enlighten friend.But he looked at Xiao Nuomi who was taken away by their son. If his family had such a beautiful little brother, he would probably be so worried that he couldn't sleep every day, because he was afraid that his little brother would be abducted by a man.

Thinking about it this way, he probably understood Bai Luoxi's mood at the moment.

Haha, fortunately, their family is a boy. In the future, they marry girls and boys from other people's families, not to other people's families, so their family is buying one and getting one free?Maybe more than one?He felt that the deal was not bad at all.

Thinking of this, he felt a little sympathetic to Bai Luoxi again, and gave advice to his good friend, "In the future, if you really don't want to part with Xiao Nuomi, at worst, don't let him marry into someone else's family, just recruit a son-in-law at home, so that in the future Xiao Nuomi Nuomi will always be by your side."

"You're right. You'll recruit a husband for our little Nuomi in the future." Bai Luoxi thought it was right when he heard it, and the worry in his heart disappeared instantly. Their little glutinous rice couldn't afford a son-in-law, so what did they do to send the little brother they held in their hands to someone else's house.

Thinking about it this way, Bai Luoxi felt that Josh's idea was really reasonable.

At this time, Josh didn't know that he had deceived their son with his strength, and almost sent his son to someone else's family to marry him.

However, this is something for later, and the future is still far away.

The two children now are little playmates holding hands and walking together. They don’t even know what a husband and husband are. In their eyes, the one holding hands is just their good little playmate. When I see you, hold hands and never let go...
