Little wealth

The two children sitting facing each other were gnawing on a chicken leg. The meat of the chicken leg was a bit hard, and the child had to use a lot of force to tear off a piece of meat.

From time to time, Josh put some other dishes into the child's small bowl, and looked down at their kid's cheeks bulging and his two calves dangling underneath, and he knew that his son was eating happily .

I drank a bowl of soup just now, and now I haven't finished eating a single chicken leg, so the little brother who has a small appetite put down the half-eaten chicken leg and said not to eat it.

"Are you full?" Bai Luoxi asked the child in a low voice. Seeing the child nodding, he knew that the child's appetite was not big, and eating so much was enough, so he didn't force the child to continue eating. A handkerchief to wipe the child's hands.

Seeing that others didn't eat it, their little boy said he didn't want to eat it either.

"Are you full? Come down when you're full." Josh touched the little boy's belly, and when he felt the belly was bulging, he made sure that the child was really full, so he carried the child down.After touching his son's greasy little paws, he fetched another basin of water and washed the hands of the two children, letting them play beside them, leaving them alone.

Seeing Bai Luoxi's worried look, he smiled and said: "Let them play there, don't worry about them."

The two children were sitting on the small bench with their heads leaning against each other, chattering without knowing what they were talking about, with smiles on their little faces.

Bai Luoxi glanced at the child, then turned to Josh and said, "Our little Nuomi came to your house today, which made me so relieved." He didn't see the child much today, and the child was playing outside One day, no one came to look for him, and he almost forgot that he had gone out with a child.

"In the past, when I was at home, the little glutinous rice would stick to me, and if I couldn't see it, I would look for it everywhere."

"Your little Nuomi is actually very good, don't worry about him all the time, just let him play alone. In our family, I often throw him to play in the yard, as long as he doesn't run outside "The two talked about their experience in raising children, Josh has always implemented a semi-free-range policy for his own cubs, unlike Bai Luoxi who is as careful as Bai Luoxi, who keeps the children under his nose and stares at them all the time.

He thinks that in raising children, as long as the children are happy, it is fine for the adults to guide them. It is not necessary to keep an eye on them all the time, and set rules for the children in everything.Of course, it doesn't mean that children don't need rules, and there must be rules to be changed, but there is no need to be meticulous about every one.

Bai Luoxi thinks what Josh said is very reasonable, their little glutinous rice is just too obedient, he used to think that it is delicious if their children are obedient, but now looking at other people's children, he thinks that their children don't seem to be so obedient Then be obedient.

After eating, Fu Wenqing talked with Zhao He for a while, and then he was going to take Fu Lang and the child back.

"You come to our house to play when you have time." Josh sent Bai Luoxi and Xiao Nuomi out, and handed over a small box in his hand, "This was prepared for you last time, and I haven't had time to give it to you. "

"What?" Bai Luoxi asked without reaching out to pick it up.

"It's just a set of molds for making cakes. Take it quickly." Josh shoved the box into this man's hand, worried that he might give him some precious gold, silver and jewelry?Their family can't afford to send such things, at most they will send a few wooden molds.

The last time they sent cakes to Xiao Nuomi, Bai Luoxi praised the beautiful cakes they baked, and he remembered this in his heart. When he came back, he asked their carpenter Zhao to make a set of the same molds, thinking of giving them to Xiao Nuomi next time. Bai Luoxi's.It's just that they haven't been to town much recently, so this gift was not sent out.

Seeing Bai Luoxi go to their house today, he just remembered that there is still such a set of things, which happened to be given to Bai Luoxi as a return gift.

"Hehe, okay, you guys are interested, thank you, then I will accept this gift. Come to the town to find us when you are done with your work." Only then did Bai Luoxi reach out to take it, and was helped into the carriage.

"Okay." Josh nodded with a smile, and waved to the people who got into the carriage.Seeing people getting into the carriage, their son wanted to follow, but he stopped him, "If you don't go, brother and the others are going home, our family is here."

Xiao Nuomi on the carriage looked at her younger brother and wanted to get off too.

The two little playmates who had been playing for a long time were separated by them, each of them looked reluctant to part.

Mr. Fu was helped into the carriage, and the curtain of the carriage was lowered to block the sight of the people standing outside.The driver twitched the reins, and there was a rattling sound of the carriage, and the carriage started to run.

Xu Ren and his men rode behind the carriage, and the group headed back to the town.

***

"Wow……"

Seeing the carriage leaving, their little boy was stunned for a moment, and then burst into tears, crying so loudly, while crying, he pointed to the direction where the carriage was leaving and called his brother, wanting to chase after the carriage. .

"..." Josh really had a headache, so he had to walk back with the little boy in his arms, while reasoning with the little boy, "Nuomi and the others have gone home, they are here to play with you, don't stay with us. Don't cry, let's reason, shall we?"

"You have to be capable, and when you grow up, you can marry Xiao Nuomi back, and he will come to our house. Now that you are still young, you still have to go back to your respective homes and find your own father, do you understand?"

"Wow woo woo..."

But it is obvious that their two-year-old cub is very unreasonable. He just opened his mouth wide and cried, and wanted to go out the door while crying, and he couldn't hear what the adults said in his ears. that's it.

Hearing the crying of her grandson, Zhao Amu came out and asked, "What's the matter?" Why are you still crying?Weren't you very happy just now?

"It's okay, he should be sleepy. I'll take him back to sleep for a while." Josh hugged his son who was crying loudly. The brat was crying in his ear, and he felt that his ears were about to be shaken. Deaf.

If this son wasn't his own, he would have given it to someone else to raise him!But I can cry too much!

The wah-wah crying came all the way from the yard back to the house, and I was still crying when I got back into the house. After crying for a long time, it slowly lowered down until it disappeared completely.

……

Josh didn’t come out of the house until the child fell asleep. When he came out, he didn’t see anyone there. He heard voices in the kitchen. When he came over and saw his mother packing up things in there, he said, “Mum, go and rest for a while.” All right, I'll clean it up here."

"The child is asleep, isn't it?" Zhao Amu didn't put down the things in her hands, and looked out, as if she wanted to see her grandson sleeping in the room over there through a few walls.

Of course he was out of sight.

"Yeah, I fell asleep after coaxing for a while." Josh couldn't help shaking his head when he remembered his son's crying that pierced his eardrums just now. It was the first time he knew that their son could cry so much.It turned out that their son didn't cry before, but they didn't get him to cry.

Today's cry, but the cry was too sad, and it was completely unreasonable.

Thinking of his son's crying, Josh really couldn't laugh or cry.

"These dishes can be eaten at night, and we don't need to cook anything at night." They still had a lot of vegetables and meat left at noon. Seeing that these were edible things, Zhao A Tom packed up the dishes and was not willing to throw them away.

"Well, that's fine. Put it on the table and eat it hot at night." Josh didn't object either. The dishes are only fried at noon, so they won't go bad if they are eaten at night.But the temperature here in the kitchen is relatively high, so he put it on the side of the counter, where there are windows for ventilation.

The two packed up the things in the kitchen and went out.

In the afternoon, I didn't see Chen Tuhu and Chen Yan and his son coming to their house for dinner. I knew that Chen's house was also harvesting millet today, so the father and son should have gone to work in the fields, and they ate dinner at their house.

Their dinner was the leftovers from noon, so they didn't call Chen Ge'er and his father over to eat at their house.

In the evening, after dinner, Zhao He told Fu Lang that the county magistrate had ordered a threshing machine from him.When Josh heard that the magistrate wanted so many threshing machines, he was a little surprised, "Why does the magistrate want so many threshing machines? Can you make it in time?"

"It is said that it will be sent to other villages." Zhao He told Fu Lang what the county magistrate said, "My lord said that he will send a few people to help tomorrow, so it should be in time."

"Oh, that's good. Since it's agreed, let's do it for the county magistrate and the others, as long as it's in time for the harvest." Josh didn't have any objection to this, knowing that the county magistrate wanted so many threshing machines Send it to other villages for use. Since the county magistrate can send someone to help, they can do it.

Knowing that the village head also helped their family find someone to help harvest the millet, it saved them the need to find someone to help, otherwise the two laborers in the family were transferred away, and he and his mother took a child all day It's a bit difficult to think about all going to work in the fields.

Now that someone has helped them solve their problems, their family can also spare manpower to make threshing machines for the county magistrate.

"If that's the case, let's buy more vegetables at home later, and prepare a lunch for the masters who come." Josh was not in the field at the time, so he didn't know about the negotiation between the county magistrate and their carpenter Zhao. Now that he knew it, he felt that since others came to their house to help with work, even though they were sent by the county magistrate and they didn't need to pay them, he still had to take care of a meal.

It was only Zhao Amu who found out about this, but he didn't say anything when he heard that the village chief had found someone to help them collect grain.

It wasn't until the sun set and it was getting dark that someone came to their house to return the threshing machine.

"Just put it inside." Zhao He asked someone to move the threshing machine into the wooden house and put it away.

Josh, who just entered the house, heard the voice outside, and just glanced outside, knowing that someone came to return the threshing machine.

The two brothers who came to return the threshing machine returned the threshing machine, thanked them, and explained that they had come to help their family collect grain.

"Go slowly." Zhao He sent the man out to the door, and when he saw the man leave, he closed the courtyard door behind his back.

The big yellow dog wagged its tail behind its owner, and followed the owner home...
