Little wealth

With the help of a few more people, they moved all the millet to the cart in one trip, and the cart was full.

These millets are all to be taken home to dry. In previous years, they were taken to the grain farm to dry, and the people in the village were there to dry the millet, but this year they can just take them back to their yards to dry, and there is no need to tell everyone. Grab the place.

As for the wheat stalks, they were left in the field, and they were taken home to be used as firewood after drying. These stalks were easy to burn after drying, and they were the best for cooking.

"It's hard work, my lords, why don't my lords go to the humble house to drink a glass of water before going back." This day, Zhao He has accepted it from the initial surprise to the current numbness, and these noble lords want to help their family He couldn't stop him from working, but he didn't expect these two adults to help them harvest half an acre of wheat.

"Okay, it just so happens that I have to go to your home to pick up someone." Mrs. Fu raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, feeling his mouth and tongue were a bit dry, and he urgently needed a drink of water.It's a pity that the waiter has been sent back to the county government by him, and there is not even a waiter around him at the moment.

After walking a few steps left and right, you will arrive at Zhao's house, and you can go to Zhao's house for a drink in a while.

He still remembered that his husband and children were still at Zhao's house, and he had to bring them back before he could go home.

"Is Master Fu okay?" Xu Ren followed Master Fu, seeing Master Fu's slightly pale lips, and stretched out his hand to help him.

"It's okay." Mr. Fu glared at the hand that Xu Ren stretched out. He didn't feel that he needed someone to help him to do some work. He just felt that it was too hot, and it was a little uncomfortable.

Xinyi was rejected by others, Xu Ren was not angry, but just retracted his hand, admiring this Master Fu again in his heart.Although he followed the emperor in the middle of the capital these years, he also knew how the local officials behaved. He really hadn't heard of a few who went to the countryside like Mr. Fu.And just now, when he saw this Mr. Fu was proficient in his work, it was not the first time he had done such a job.

He looked at magistrate Fu, who was tall and straight, with slightly tanned skin, which was very different from the gifted Fu he met in Beijing.It seems that Fu Zhuangyuan came to Anyang to serve as the county magistrate these years, and he is really doing a good job as the parent official of this side. This is what he admires the most.

The village chief walked slowly behind, and Zhao Hu walked one step behind the village chief.

After the owner of the field pulls the millet and leaves, there are old people and children in the village carrying baskets behind them to the field to pick up the millet that fell on the ground. When no one wants it, some old people and children will come to pick it up, and the host will not say anything.

Zhao He led the donkey and walked ahead, pulling food on the cart, and led several adults and the village head to their home. Before they got back to the door, they could smell the familiar aroma of vegetables from a distance.

At this time, they were cooking vegetables in their small kitchen, and the smell of vegetables wafted out along the open doors and windows, and the whole yard smelled like this.

The sun in the sky rose higher and higher, and the sunlight on the ground expanded inch by inch until the entire yard was covered by the sun, except for a shadow under the tree. Two little children sat in rows on small benches. There is a small bowl on the table, which contains thick white fish soup, and there are white and tender radishes and tofu in the fish soup.

The radish that has been boiled in the soup for so long is as soft as tofu, which is just right for children.

The two little babies don't need adults to feed them, each of them is digging the fresh radish and tofu in the small bowl with a small wooden spoon to eat.

"Adults, please come inside." Zhao He parked his donkey and cart outside, and he had to go home to get things, so he took two adults and the village chief inside to sit inside.Smelling the smell coming from the kitchen, he knew it was cooking, and whispered to his younger brother to go to the kitchen to get water for the two adults and the village chief to drink. He still has things to do.

Zhao Hu said hello and went to the kitchen.

This is the second time Fu Wenqing came back to Zhao's house, and he was already familiar with the way. He followed Zhao He into the small courtyard, and saw two little children sitting under the tree, one was their little brother, and the other It's the little baby of the Zhao family, and I haven't seen his husband.

"My lord." Qing Mei, who was looking after the little master outside, saw their lord came back, and went forward to salute.

Mr. Fu asked where his husband went, and raised his eyebrows when he learned that he was in the kitchen, thinking that he heard wrong, his little husband went to the kitchen?

"Father." When Xiao Nuomi saw that her father had returned, she put down her spoon and ran towards her.

"Well, do you miss Father?" Fu Wenqing bent down and picked up his little brother, holding the child with one hand, and let the child sit on his arm.Smelling the fishy smell, I even went closer to smell it, the little brother looked like a cat that ate fish, but Mr. Fu didn't dislike it, and asked: "What did you just eat? "

Pointing at her small bowl, Xiao Nuomi replied, "Tang Tang, Daddy gave it to me."

"Oh, is it delicious? Then sit down and continue eating." Fu Wenqing put the child back on the small stool he got up just now, and rubbed the little brother's head with his hands.

Xiao Nuomi sat back in her seat, touched her patted head, a little hesitant whether to continue eating, or share some with her father.After thinking about it for a while, the well-behaved little brother picked up a small spoon to scoop up a piece of radish and asked Father, "Father, do you want to eat?"

Seeing that their lord and that lord Xu came back together, Qing Mei hurriedly fetched a few stools for others to sit on, and naturally heard what their little master said, and subconsciously looked at their lord.

As soon as Fu Wenqing sat down, he heard what his little brother said. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and replied: "Yes, Father wants to eat." After saying that, he poked his head over, opened his mouth and ate the food from the child's little spoon. Carrots, I don’t dislike it at all, this is something my brother ate half of, and he smiled and said, “It’s delicious.”

Xiao Nuomi pursed her lips, smiled reservedly, her beautiful eyes were bright, and she turned her head sideways to look at Father.

The father and son looked at each other, and only they understood the meaning in their eyes. Mrs. Fu felt that the piece of radish he had just swallowed in his mouth was tinged with sweetness.

Mr. Xu who was sitting across from him was a little envious when he saw the relationship between Mr. Fu and his younger brother. As expected, the younger brother was caring. Thinking of his own disobedient boy, he felt extremely disgusted.

The person who was cooking in the kitchen heard the sound outside, Josh poked his head out of the window and took a look outside, just in time to see the back of their family Carpenter Zhao entering the wooden house, and naturally saw the county magistrate and the other adults coming back, Turning to Bai Luoxi, she said, "It seems that they are all back."

"Listen." Bai Luoxi was staring at the vegetables in the pot. The chicken was stewed in the pot with a lid on it. He didn't know if it was cooked. He raised his head and asked Josh, "Is the dish in this pot ready?" , can you open the lid?"

"It should be ok, let me see." Josh came over to take the lid away, the soup inside was gurgling, seeing that the soup was almost collected, he put the lid aside, and took Bai Luoxi Flipping inside with the shovel in his hand, he asked Bai Luoxi, "Why don't you go outside, I'll just come here."

"No, I'll go out after cooking with you guys." Bai Luoxi looked at such a pot of stewed chicken with mushrooms, and it smelled so delicious. Rather than going out to pick up people, he wanted to stay here and watch Josh cook.

But after saying that, Bai Luoxi still moved two steps towards the door, and looked out with his head.Seeing the father and son sitting together, he didn't know what they were talking about, and there was still a smile on their sideways faces, and he shrank back after taking a look, with a little smile on his face.

Josh took the basin and put the fried dishes on, looked up at someone who was secretly laughing, and didn't say anything.

"Ah Mu." Seeing that there were outsiders in the kitchen, Zhao Hu didn't go in, but stood at the door and told Ah Mu that he was here to get water.

Zhao Amu went to fetch water and cups for someone, and asked if the grain in the field had been harvested. She was very happy to learn that their family had harvested so much grain per mu.He gave the water and the cup to the youngest son, and told the youngest son to be more careful when doing things, so as not to offend the adults with his hands and feet.

"Understood." Zhao Hu took the water and the cup and was about to leave, but was stopped by his brother.

Josh stopped him and ordered: "Xiaohu, you can spread out two more tables outside and bring out a few more stools. Let's eat outside. The food here is almost done. You can come over after spreading out the tables." Get the food here, and tell the county magistrate to eat with us before leaving." The county magistrate's wife is still here to help cook, this time he is not worried at all that the county magistrate will leave husband and child behind .

"Hey, good." Zhao Hu responded, and went out with the water first, poured water for the two adults and the village chief, and told the two adults and the village chief what his brother had ordered just now .

"Okay, then we'll stop bothering you." This time Master Fu didn't refuse other people's leftover meals, and it happened that he also wanted to try the dishes made by his husband.

Master Fu didn't leave, so Master Xu naturally didn't say he was leaving either.

Josh was still standing at the door, and when he saw their carpenter Zhao go into the wooden house and take things out, the two looked at each other across half the yard, he couldn't help smiling, and waved to the man, Mouthed to that person: You go to work first, come back for dinner soon.

Zhao He understood this sentence and nodded.

Seeing the man nodding, Josh turned around with a smile and left. He still had to hurry up to cook and eat, so he didn't care about the man.

Seeing that Fu Lang turned around to get busy, Zhao He went out with his things, and when he was leaving, he glanced under the tree and saw his son sitting there eating obediently, but he didn't think anything was wrong. He went out with his things.
