farming in ancient times

Say. "

"I'm not afraid of your nonsense." Xiaoer glanced at him, thinking he had caught Butcher Gao, and raised his eyebrows at him proudly.

Butcher Gao wanted to laugh when he saw him like this, so he asked, "Do you know the magistrate?"

"I still don't know each other yet." Mentioning this little girl got weak.

Butcher Gao didn't know why he didn't want to see Xiao Er so sluggish. He opened his mouth to say that he knew the county magistrate, but the words slipped around, "The magistrate's cook comes to my pork stall every day to buy meat. Meat, when she comes to buy meat again, I will ask Fangzheng and Ren Yuan to talk about your plow in front of the cook, and the magistrate will come to you later."

Xiao Er was thinking about whether the county magistrate had met his grandfather, whether he could go to the county magistrate in the name of grandpa, when he heard Butcher Gao's words, his eyes lit up, "Is this possible?"

"Do you have any other ideas?" Gao Butcher asked.

"No." At least this method is more reliable than my own. Who knows what the officials in ancient times were like. It's not a big deal to lose their lives if they fail.

"Then do as I said." Butcher Gao saw that he still looked very worried, and thought for a while, "Well, Xiaoer, do you know that I was a soldier before?"

"I know, what's the matter?" Xiao Eryi asked, slapping his head violently, "You know the magistrate!" His tone was extremely certain.

Butcher Gao's eyelids twitched, his heart stopped, and he hurriedly asked, "You, how do you know?" He hasn't said anything yet.

"Of course I know!" Xiao Er grinned, "Are those two people at your pork stall being taken care of by the county? You just came back after serving as a soldier for seven or eight years, and the county magistrate didn't give you any favors?"

Butcher Gao breathed a sigh of relief, he thought Xiao Er knew he was "General Ping Di".Just following Xiaoer's words, "Yes! But we don't want to settle down, we have hands and feet, and we can support ourselves."

"Then why are you a butcher? You've been a soldier for so many years. It's not difficult to think of a job in the county government?" Xiaoer asked.

Butcher Gao saw how strange he was, so he really wanted to ask, you know so much, it's not easy to fool you.

"The county magistrate knew that I opened a pork shop, so he didn't allow the county to collect shop tax from me. My household registration is not a butcher, so I don't think there is anything wrong with opening a pork shop."

The real reason is only known to him, the Rongdi people will make a comeback within two years, and then he will go to the border. In a short period of time, he will marry a woman and come back, and the child will not be born by then.He doesn't do anything except his strength, he is still a butcher to save trouble, when the emperor sends someone to look for him, he can leave after closing the door.

Xiao Eryi nodded secretly when he heard that Butcher Gao was not from Jian, this butcher is really smart.

"But how do you know that the cook will tell the magistrate what you said?" Xiaoer asked.

"I heard that the cook at the county magistrate's house is the county magistrate's aunt. She should know that there are three of me, Ren Yuan and Fang Zheng." Butcher Gao said nonsense.

"If it's true, you can come to my house to eat as much food as you want in the future!" Although this matter has not yet happened, Xiaoer doesn't want to worry too much about the butcher.

"I don't eat, I eat the cake you made today!" Butcher Gao said hastily.

"Okay!" Xiao Er said loudly.

Butcher Gao laughed foolishly, and couldn't help but smack his mouth when he thought about today's dishes and cakes.When I looked up, seeing that it was getting late, I said with some reluctance, "Little Er, I might have to go back."

"I'll see you off." Xiao Er said.

"Then can I still come to you later?" Butcher Gao asked without thinking.

Xiaoer was taken aback when he heard that, "Isn't your house busy?"

"The pork stall doesn't need me! With Ren Yuan and Fangzheng here, how many people can a stall need!"

Hearing this, Xiao Er's ears became like, if Butcher Gao wasn't around, the two of them could still sell a little more pork.

"Come when you want." Xiao Er thought a lot, this butcher Gao knew the county magistrate, if he got along with butcher Gao, he would get a car later, wouldn't he be more obedient to the county magistrate? .

"Then I'm leaving." Saying that, Butcher Gao walked to the gate, but after walking several steps, he still couldn't get outside the gate.

Seeing him being so gruff, Xiao Er just thought that Gao Butcher, who had a "prestige" outside, was so lonely that he didn't even have anyone to chat with him. "By the way, wait a minute!" Xiao Er said, then turned and ran into the kitchen.

Find the bamboo basket that Butcher Gao carried when he came, put some bamboo shoots in it, and handed it to him, "You saw what I cooked today, and I will ask the two people in your family to cook it for you later." .”

"What?" Butcher Gao lifted the lid and saw that there was something like yellow grass again. Seeing that Xiaoer didn't tell him the name of the thing in the bamboo basket, not only was he not unhappy, but he even smiled and told him. Like a fool, "I see, Xiao Er, you can go back to the house."

Xiao Er waited for him to go far before closing the door and going back.However, before Xiaoer could figure out what to cook for dinner, Wang Hanshi, who left her natal family, came back.Seeing the happy face of the sister-in-law, Xiao Er knew that the catty of meat was taken correctly, and the two women of the Han family did not show the face of the sister-in-law.Then he told his sister-in-law that he had finished the plow.

Wang Hanshi stared, "Hurry up?"

"Yes, it's in the backyard, come and take a look." Xiao Er said with a smile.

"Hey, why is it different from the village chief's?" Wang Hanshi wondered.

"When I was making the plow, butcher Gao came, and he told me that the plow he made this way was better than the village head's plow..."

"Wait a minute, Xiao Er, what are you talking about? Butcher Gao is coming to our house?" Seeing Xiao Er nodding, "What is he doing at our house?"

"He gave me a lot of pork yesterday, so I told him that he would come to our house to play when he was free, who would have thought he would come today." Xiao Er frowned, "I was just being polite. talk."

"Come here." Wang Hanshi thought of the gossip about Butcher Gao, so he didn't ask further, "By the way, how did Butcher Gao know that this kind of plow is good?"

"He said he saw it when he was fighting at the border." Xiao Er deliberately asked without waiting for the sister-in-law to speak, "Sister-in-law, do you know where the border is? Is it far from us? Why are there so many people there? Can you think of a crooked plow?"

"I don't know." Wang Hanshi was a woman who didn't know how to make a plow, so she believed Xiaoer's words, looked at the refurbished soil, and remembered Butcher Gao's kindness in her heart.

At the same time, Butcher Gao also returned home.Ren Yuan took his bamboo basket and looked down, "Hey, General, why did you bring something to our house when you were a guest at Wang's house?"

"Xiao Er gave it to me." Butcher Gao washed his hands, and Fang Zheng brought the dinner.

Butcher Gao Gao looked at the rice in front of him, and then at the cabbage boiled meat in another bowl, "Why do you cook this?"

"Why not eat this or that?" Fangzheng asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

"It's unpalatable!" Butcher Gao said with disgust.

"I think you are too full from eating at other people's house." Fangzheng saw that the food he had carefully prepared was suddenly rejected by the general, and he had never seen him be troublesome before. "Say, what are you eating at the Wang family today?" I made up my mind that the farmers in this season couldn't come up with anything good to cook for the general.

"Of course it's the best." Butcher Gao said proudly.

"Just that handful of grass in your bamboo basket?" Ren Yuan continued.

"Who says it's grass! If you don't know anything, don't talk nonsense!" Butcher Gao stopped eating, and went to the kitchen with a bamboo basket.

Fangzheng stared blankly, he couldn't believe what he saw, "General...going out for a trip, did you lose your temper?"

"Could it be that you let the Wang family get angry?" Ren Yuan said suspiciously.

"It's not like that, the general was clearly smiling when he entered the door." Fangzheng was speaking when he suddenly heard the sound of scooping water, "What is the general doing?" He quickly stood up.

"Today I have to show you two what grass is!" Saying that, Butcher Gao asked Ren Yuan to light the fire, and then recalled how Xiao Er was cooking, and it didn't take long for him to make a pot of stewed pork belly with bamboo shoots.

"General, this is what you eat for lunch?" Fang Zheng poured half a spoonful of pork and bamboo shoots on his rice before Butcher Gao could open his mouth.

"What do you think?" Butcher Gao was very proud, "How is it better than you?"

"Delicious!" Fangzheng preferred bamboo shoots, and picked out all the meat in the bowl to exchange with Ren Yuan.

Ren Yuan stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth and said, "General, you're going to Wang's house tomorrow, and after you eat something delicious, come back and make it for us."

"Dream you!" Butcher Gao said as he lifted his foot and went out to take his job.

"Hey, General, I'm not joking with you, go, go, when I learn it, I'll make delicious food for you every day!" Fang Zheng hurriedly rushed up.

"Not tomorrow!"

"What?"

"I have something to do!" He will go to the county magistrate tomorrow to buy some rice and noodles. At the latest, he will have to wait until the county magistrate returns from Wang's house, otherwise he will be exposed.But he didn't know, just a few days later, Xiao Er would be in trouble.

☆、Brothers are back

Early the next morning, Xiao Er, who had finished building the stove, started collecting firewood and killing pigweed in the morning.

In the afternoon, Xiaoer didn't go out, and planned to find all the farm tools at home, beat them, repair them, and sow seeds when the eldest brother came home.

Seeing that my sister-in-law was growing bamboo shoots again, Xiaoer said, "Sister-in-law, I heard from Butcher Gao that the people who grow rice in the border customs all set aside a separate plot of land to raise seedlings."

"Why?" Wang Han asked without raising his head.

"He said that if the rice seedlings grow out and then planted in the ground, the rice seeds will not be washed away by water, and a lot of rice seeds can be saved." Xiaoer said, "I think what Butcher Gao said is quite reasonable. Our family Do you want to try it too?"

"Then what if it doesn't work?" Wang Hanshi did not suspect him, because she knew what kind of person Wang Xiaoer was, and she didn't expect that Wang Xiaoer's core had been replaced by someone.

I saw the plow that Xiaoer had installed according to Butcher Gao's statement, and the plow was better than that of the village head's house.People couldn't help saying, "This butcher Gao knows so much!"

Xiao Er was taken aback. It seemed that he would try his best to prevent Butcher Gao from talking to his family members in the future.

"He's been outside for a few years, and I don't know how many places he's been to, and there's something he doesn't know." As he spoke, Xiaoer grinned, "Sister-in-law, I'll ask Butcher Gao if he knows what else he knows."

"Will Butcher Gao tell you?" Wang Hanshi remembered that Butcher Gao told Xiao Er that the plow was because Xiao Er was making plows when he came, and it happened by coincidence.

"I think he's a nice guy, so he should tell me." Xiao Er's words are true, butcher Gao looks like a nice guy, really.

Xiaoer didn't want his sister-in-law to hesitate any longer, so he continued, "Look at the meat in our kitchen, it was brought by Butcher Gao yesterday."

"Then why don't you try?" Wang Hanshi was still a little uneasy in her heart, but she didn't know whether it was out of sympathy for Butcher Gao, or because Butcher Gao kept giving her some meat, and she had a hunch that a good butcher Gao would not coax her small two.

"Let's get rice seedlings for one mu of land first, if it doesn't work, I'll go to Butcher Gao and ask him to pay for our rice..."

"Hey, Xiao Er, this is impossible!" Wang Han quickly cut off his words, "Butcher Gao kindly told us that we can't blame Butcher Gao if we can't do it well, and Butcher Gao didn't force us. Landing seedlings at home!"

"Then, I won't go to him, and I'll ask him to give me some fat when I go back to the town!" Xiao Er said the next best thing.

As soon as Wang Hanshi heard this, she raised her head and looked up at the sky. The little girl sitting beside her playing with bamboo shoots saw her mother's bitter face, so she stretched out her small hand and tugged at her mother's clothes.

Wang Han, who came back to his senses, looked at Xiao Er who was still fiddling with farm tools with some distress. The uncle is so stingy, what will he do in the future, when will he marry a wife!

Wang Han doesn't have to worry about Xiaoer marrying a wife for the time being, because no girl will dare to marry into Wang's family in a short time, even if Xiaoer knows how to live, make an adobe building to make the stove brighter than other people's main room .

Speaking of this, we have to start with the matchmaker.

The last time the matchmaker who came to say goodbye to Xiao Er was kicked out of Wang's house by Duan Er's uncle, the disgruntled matchmaker made gestures and said how stingy Wang's second boy was whenever she met.

It may be the first time that this matchmaker has been chased away so shamelessly. From the east end of Wangjia Village to the west end of the village, she has been walking around Wangjia Village and making gestures. She only twisted the waist of the bucket when smoke came out of her throat. go back.

Xiao Er's stingy temperament is known to everyone in Wang's Village, and even the elderly know that they can only listen to what the matchmaker says but don't believe it.A few people knew what the girl the matchmaker was talking about, and even spat at the matchmaker's back.

But these people did not include Wang Laifu.

After Wang Laifu was beaten up by Duan Dayong, he kept holding back his anger.Duan's family has a lot of power, so he didn't dare to trouble Xiaoer for no reason. When he heard what the matchmaker said, he opened his mouth and said, "The Wang family's Xiaoer is stingy. You can't ask for a bride price when you marry a wife. A good-hearted matchmaker comes to match me. Push people with broom sticks! Push people!"

When Wang Laifu said this, he purposely went to the crowd and said that everyone in the village knew that Wang Laifu was a slack and lazy guy, and he would always make trouble for his mistress when he didn't do any work. Everyone laughed when they heard this. , No one took this seriously.

But the children don't understand.

The few words Wang Laifu uttered were fairly fluent, he only said them twice, and the children onlookers memorized them, and for a while these jingles were sung everywhere in Wangjia Village.

Passers-by heard it and curiously asked others what these words meant.People who watch the excitement and don't think it's a big deal say that there is a Wang Xiaoer in the village, and he must marry a wife who is not fat, thin, tall, or short, eats less, works a lot, and has a big butt.

The passer-by asked again, "Could it be that this Wang Xiaoer is a rich landlord?"

"What!" The man who didn't think it was a big deal curled his lips, and began to talk vividly, how the little girl can live a good life, and how to be stingy.

Because Dalang is not at home, Wang Hanshi seldom goes outside, fearing that the gossips in the village will gossip.Zheng Feng also knew this, and when he heard that these words had spread to the next village, he rushed to Wang's house to tell Wang Han.

Wang Hanshi burst into tears, "Wang Laifu is a murderer, how can our Xiao Er marry a wife in the future! Who else dares to marry Xiao Er!"

"Hey, his sister-in-law, please don't cry, not everyone believes in Wang Laifu, but Xiaoer's matter will be a bit difficult in the future." Zheng Fengshi was also a little annoyed at herself, if she hadn't recruited the matchmaker herself, These words cannot be spread outside.

"Sister-in-law, there's nothing to cry about, what kind of person I am, as long as someone is interested, you can find out." Xiaoer sat not far away, and came over after hearing Zheng Feng's words , Tebie said calmly, "When our family's life gets better, most of the girls will come to marry me!"

"When our family's life gets better, how old are you, so stop joking." Wang Hanshi couldn't help laughing.

"I'm not kidding!" Xiaoer looked indifferent, "The members of the town are all 40 years old, why don't they just accept a group of young girls as concubines."

"You are so ambitious, and you still want to take a concubine. If you dare to take a concubine, watch me break your leg!"

Xiao Er suddenly heard a male voice, his heart skipped a beat, and he turned his head suddenly, "Brother? Brother! You, why are you back?"

"If I don't come back, I don't know that my younger brother is capable. He won't be able to marry a wife, and he still wants to take a concubine!" Wang Dalang sneered.As soon as he entered the village, he heard gossip about Xiao Er. He was very worried about Xiao Er, but as soon as he entered the door, he was so impatient that he almost fell on his back!

"Brother, that's what I said." Xiaoer murmured.It may be that Xiaoer was used to the sternness of the elder brother in his previous life. When he saw the elder brother's serious face and shrank his head, he saw the young man behind him.

Seeing his little brother's face flushed, his mouth chapped, and his hair covered in dust, Xiaoer's nose was sour, and tears rolled in his eyes.

Without saying a word, he grabbed his arm and beat his ass with one hand, cursing while beating: "I let you run, let you run... If you have the guts, don't come back, just run..."

At first the 15-year-old boy struggled a few times, but as soon as he saw the tears dripping on his feet, Xiao Shan stopped moving, and let Xiao Er beat him sorely and weakly, and only murmured when he stopped to lose his strength. Said: "Second brother, I, I will never dare again, you, don't cry..."

"Which way did you see me crying!" Xiao Er raised his hand to wipe his face, turned around and went to the kitchen.

Seeing this, Zheng Feng quickly found an excuse and left.

As soon as the outsider left, Xiao Shan looked at his sister-in-law helplessly, hoping that her sister-in-law could save him.

Wang Hanshi glanced over to the kitchen, "It's okay, your second brother shouldn't be angry with you after a while."

Only then did Wang Dalang realize: "Daughter-in-law, why... has this kitchen in our house changed?"

"Go back to the house first." Wang Hanshi pointed to the shoes on the feet of her husband and brother-in-law with their toes exposed: "The new shoes are in the cabinet, you should change them out first."

"Change for what!" Xiaoer hooked his head and stared into the yard, "I don't want to see how dirty each one is, just wait! I'll boil water and wash myself before I change new shoes!"

"Sister-in-law?" Xiao Shan secretly rubbed his sore buttocks, "Second Brother, why did Second Brother become so powerful?"

"Your second brother is very powerful!" Wang Hanshi told Dalang and Xiaoshan to enter the house, and while Xiaoer was boiling hot water, Wang Hanshi told them what Xiaoer had done these days.

When Wang Dalang and Wang Xiaoshan heard Wang Han's words, it took them a long time to come to their senses. When he came back to his senses, Xiaoshan exclaimed, "Sister-in-law, second, the plow made by second brother? Quickly take me to see it!"

Farmers care most about farm tools. Wang Dalang just said "Oh" when he heard Xiaoer making wild vegetables and bamboo shoots. He stood up when he heard the plow.

"What are you looking at, let's take a shower!" Xiaoer stood in front of the main room and glared fiercely at his brother and brother, "Hurry up!"

This family is headed by the second brother, and the second brother's temperament is usually considered gentle. Wang Dalang saw that the second brother's eyes were still red, so he knew that he was very angry this time.

Holding the little brother's clothes, he said, "Let's go now, Erzi, don't be angry, it's not good to be too angry!" Then he strode around Xiaoer and went straight to the stove, and took a closer look at the bright stove. , Each person carries a tub of water and leaves.

Wang Hanshi saw that Xiaoer had scooped out the little hot water left in the pot, so she asked, "What else are you doing?"

"Cooking." Xiao Er sullenly cut all the meat brought by Butcher Gao into pieces.

This is the second time Wang Hanshi has seen Xiao Er cry in this period of time. Knowing that this time is different from the last time, she said, "I will ask your elder brother to give you all the money he earned!"

"Do not care!"

When Wang Hanshi heard this, he wanted to laugh, and he didn't even want the money. It seems that Xiaoshan has accepted it.

Dalang took a bath with Xiaoshan and changed into clean clothes. He pulled the straw sandals and walked into the stove room. He smelled the smell of the room and was a little strange. "Second son, why are you willing to buy pork?"

When Wang Hanshi heard this, she felt bad, and waited for Xiao Er to run on her man, but Xiao Er didn't even look at her elder brother.

"Xiao Er didn't buy this pork." He said and gave Da Lang a wink, telling him not to look for trouble.Then he told about Butcher Gao again, and finally said, "Butcher Gao is really a good man."

"Did Butcher Gao say when the magistrate will come to our house?" Xiao Shan asked pleasantly, "When the magistrate comes, shall we kowtow to the magistrate?"

"No!" Xiao Er didn't care whether he wanted it or not, anyway, he couldn't kneel down easily, "Don't think too much, I heard from Butcher Gao that the county magistrate is an official with the size of a grain of rice, not the emperor's lord." Speaking of serving up the dishes, he pointed to the pot cakes in the steamed bun basket, "This kind of cakes was also taught to me by Butcher Gao, so try it quickly, and I'll pour water for you."

"Butcher Gao is amazing!" Xiao Shan's eyes were filled with admiration.The corner of Xiao Er's mouth twitched when he saw it, butcher Gao is not very good, he is just a brick, he can move it wherever he needs it!

☆, the general looks for the county magistrate

Butcher Gao touched his hot ears. Both ears have been hot all day. Who is talking about him?

Of course it's Xiao Er!

Butcher Gao mistook his aunt for scolding him again, shook his head helplessly, raised his hand and knocked on the door of the county magistrate's house.The door was opened by the county magistrate's boy, who often followed the county magistrate around and knew what the master was like in front of Butcher Gao.Although he couldn't figure out why the master was so afraid of a butcher, he didn't have the guts to ask.

He sent Butcher Gao to the master's study respectfully, and put a bowl of hot water in front of Butcher Gao, and then he ran outside the door to guard in case anyone who didn't open his eyes disturbed the master talking to the butcher.

Seeing that the door was closed, the county magistrate made a long bow to Butcher Gao, "I pay my respects to the general!"

Butcher Gao pointed to the cushion next to him, "Sit down, I have something to ask you."

"Your Majesty should just sit here." After the county magistrate sat down, he peeked at the two empty cushions between him and Butcher Gao, so that he would not feel afraid while sitting.If you want to ask him what he is afraid of, County Magistrate Bai doesn't know, anyway, he is inexplicably afraid when he sees General "Pingdi" who is now a butcher.

"I heard you've been busy with spring plowing recently, how are you doing?" Butcher Gao asked.

"It's okay." The county magistrate said honestly, "When it rains, the common people can grow wheat, and the paddy fields of each family can also be rested."

"Then have you ever seen this kind of plow?" Butcher Gao dipped the water in front of him and drew the general appearance of Quyuan plow on the square table.

The county magistrate craned his neck to take a look, "The lower official has never seen it, but has the general seen it?"

"I've never seen how I can draw it." Butcher Gao glanced at him, and the magistrate's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly bowed to Butcher Gao to apologize.

Butcher Gao waved his hand, "You are so polite! I don't blame you, I only saw it once, but I didn't know if there were such things in other places, so I came to ask you."

A county magistrate can be the head of a county and govern several towns. In a period of political clarity, he must have real talents and practical learning.

"Back to the general, I have searched through the agricultural books because of the spring plowing, and I can be sure that I have never seen this thing before." The county magistrate paused, "Dare to ask the general, the general Where did you see this thing?"

"I saw it by chance when I was playing at Wang Xiaoer's house in Wangjia Village. I tried it at the time. This kind of plow is better than the plows that ordinary people use now!" As he spoke, Butcher Gao gave him a deep look. "You know what to do?"

"Xiaguan understands! Xiaguan will ask Wang Xiaoer to present the plow tomorrow!"

"Bastard!" Butcher Gao's voice suddenly rose.

The county magistrate's frightened face changed, and he suddenly remembered that the general said that he was going to play at Wang's house, "General, calm down! General, calm down! You bastard!" The county magistrate knelt down firmly on the ground!

Butcher Gao stared at his forehead, "Get up." The anger on his face still persisted, "As a county magistrate, do you know what a plow means to ordinary people?"

"Xiaguan... Xiaguan didn't think so much..." County Magistrate Bai said weakly.

"I didn't expect you to go to Wangjia Village and take a good look." Speaking of Butcher Gao, he stood up, "Okay, it's getting dark, I should go too."

"Send off the general!" County magistrate Bai didn't dare to say anything, quickly picked up the guts that the general had frightened and sent him out respectfully.When he was far away, County Magistrate Bai unconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, a little confused, "What do you mean by this general?"

"General?" The servant next to the county magistrate was startled.

The county magistrate Bai knew that he had spoken his mind when he heard the boy's rhetorical question, so he didn't hide it from him at all.

Seeing that the boy was so frightened that he was almost dumbfounded by himself, he raised his hand and gave him a slap, "Wake up!"

The little servant was shocked, "Master, general... general... yes, the butcher?"

"The brains of those big men are not normal. A good general should not be a butcher. Who knows what he thinks." Bai County Magistrate said to himself, "You come and tell the master, Why did the general want me to go to Wangjiacun?"

"The general tells you to go, you can go, you will know everything when you arrive at Wang's Village." The boy said.

"That's what I said, but how long has it been since the general came back, how did you know Wang Xiaoer?" County magistrate Bai was a little confused, "By the way, aren't everyone in the town afraid of the general? Go up to the general?"

After Bai County Magistrate learned about the general's other "prestige" from other people, he wanted to help the general get rid of that shrew in Gao's family, but the general said that he should not care about this shrew. Leaving his father aside, some things were difficult to handle, so the county magistrate didn't come forward.

Seeing the puzzled look on the master's face, the boy opened and closed his mouth, "Tomorrow, I'll go find someone to find out what Wang Xiaoer does, so we can do what the general has told us! "

"Know yourself and know each other!" County magistrate Bai raised his hand and patted him on the head, "I told you to learn a few more words with me, so you don't need to use your brain. Don't go with me when you go out in the future."

"Why?" the boy asked the county magistrate after closing the door.

"Shame!" County Magistrate Bai imitated the general's serious expression, said two words coldly, and turned back to his room.

Fangzheng opened the door and saw the general, "My great general, why are you back so soon?"

"What are you doing if you don't come back? Maybe you'll spend the night at Magistrate Bai's house." Butcher Gao said with a look at him.

"Hey, General, you can chat with the county magistrate more, we will hold the door for you no matter how late you come back." Ren Yuan said while holding an oil lamp to light the roadside for Butcher Gao.

"I have nothing to say to him."

"Then do you have something to say to Wang Xiaoer?" Fang Zheng asked casually.

"Well, yes!" Butcher Gao thought for a while, "Xiaoer will cook something delicious."

Fangzheng raised his forehead, this is a great general.

When I was a young soldier, I was transferred to my side by the marshal at a glance. The marshal had only a few daughters under his knees. When he learned that the general was sent to join the army by his stepmother, the marshal raised the 17-year-old general as his half son. .

The general has been with the marshal for a year, and the general who is still a small soldier can meet the enemy alone. He became a third-rank general at the age of 22, and was given the title "Pingdi" by the emperor last year!This is the only one in the entire Jinyu Dynasty.

This general is very good at fighting, but it is so difficult to get along with people.

"Don't think about it, if the general can chat with anyone he sees, he won't come here." Ren Yuan patted Fangzheng on the shoulder, "You don't know the general's stink, there are so many people in the capital. Even the general can’t get along with him, and you still expect him to be a butcher for a few days to get rid of his temper.”

"But, Wang, the second child of the Wang family is a farmer." When Fangzheng said this, his face was a little strange, and he was a little puzzled by the general's taste in making friends.

"What's wrong with the farmer, I think the two of you tied together are no better than a farmer!" Butcher Gao paused, "The next time you talk about me, maybe don't say it in front of my face."

"Hehe, General, how can you bury your own family like this." Fangzheng wanted to cry, but seeing the contempt in the general's eyes, he really wanted to bump his head on him and kill him!

"I'm telling the truth, if you don't believe me, you can go to Wang's house to see it some other day and you will find out." As Butcher Gao said, he thought of Xiaoer's big ghostly eyes, and the strange kitchen of Wang's house, which was so strange. Ploughs, strange and delicious dishes and pot pies.

It's a pity that he knows how to cook dishes, and the pot pie has not been as chewy as Xiao Er's after cooking several times.

As soon as County Magistrate Bai has been to Wangjiacun, he will go to Wangjiacun.He brought meat and rice noodles this time, Xiaoer probably didn't think he ate too much.

Xiaoer certainly didn't despise him.If the county magistrate really went to Xiao Er's house, even if he didn't bring rice noodles, Xiao Er would treat him well. Who would make Butcher Gao so easy to use.

Wang Dalang listened to his daughter-in-law talking about the big and small things that happened at home during the time when he was not at home, and when he heard his grandma bring someone to smash the door of the house, he quickly asked, "Did it hit you?"

"No." Wang Hanshi said with a smile, "You don't know that Wang Laifu was beaten up by our third uncle, and he didn't dare to come to our house these days. By the way, Xiaoer, you have many ideas, so tell me quickly. What are you going to do with the rumors in the village?"

"It's easy to handle." Xiao Er looked at the younger brother who insisted on huddling together, and rubbed his head, "If rumors are left alone, they will disappear by themselves in a few days."

"But your reputation has also been ruined, so how can we talk about being close in the future." Wang Hanshi was worried.

"It will be another two years. Who will remember then."

"Wait a minute, what do you mean by two years?" Da Lang asked hurriedly.

When Wang Hanshi told about Xiao Er's plan to buy a cow, Wang Dalang almost jumped up, and pointed at his younger brother tremblingly, "Xiao Er, you! You! You would rather buy a cow than a wife, wouldn't you!"

"Yes." Xiao Er said nonchalantly.

"You still dare to nod your head?" As he said that, he got up and wanted to beat Xiao Er.

After getting along for half a day, Xiao Er already knew very well that the man in front of him was different from his elder brother who was a top student in his previous life. This one was a paper tiger, and Xiao Er was not afraid of him at all.

Stretching his neck, he scrunched his face, "You beat me, beat me here! You'd better beat me to death. When I get to the underworld, I will tell my parents that you beat my own brother to death for a woman who has not been seen yet!"

"What is a woman without a shadow!" Da Lang's arrogance suddenly weakened when he heard his younger brother talking about his dead parents, "That's your future daughter-in-law."

"Shan'er, do you think the second brother is buying cattle now, or is he tightening his belt so that you can marry a sister-in-law?" Xiaoer ignored his elder brother and went straight to help.

Xiao Shan looked at the eldest brother, and then at the second brother, "The second brother can marry if he wants to, and he can't marry if he doesn't want to. Anyway, the second brother is not yet 20 years old."

"Brother, did you hear that, you also learn from our Shan'er. Buying a cow can help our family plow the land, what can you do with a wife?"

"Have a baby!" Da Lang blurted out.

"I'm still warming the bed!" The little girl curled her mouth, "Look, the little girl is skinny, and her hair is yellow like a chicken coop. The four adults in our family can't even support a child. What do you want to do with these children? , Throw it into a mountain den to feed the wolves?"

"Xiaoer, why are you talking like that." Wang Hanshi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Niuniu is your own niece.

"It's my own niece. I don't want to think that many children in the family will compete with Niu Niu for food." Xiaoer said again, "If you marry a woman and come back, I will have to take care of it. When you have a child, you can't do any work. How can I calculate it? Why do you think buying a cow is more cost-effective than marrying a wife!"

☆, the county magistrate came to Wang's house (to catch insects)

The next day, when Xiao Shan got up to help the second brother light the fire, he didn't see the elder brother, so he asked, "Sister-in-law, why did the elder brother become so lazy when he came home? The second brother has already cooked, why is he still not up?"

"Your eldest brother was so angry by your second brother last night that he didn't fall asleep until midnight, and only closed his eyes when it was dark." Wang Hanshi said while washing the wild vegetables she had just dug, "Xiaoshan, I am tired from working outside this time. Not tired?"

"Not tired!" Xiao Shan said with a smile, "When my elder brother and I were unloading goods for others on the pier, my elder brother asked me to carry light things.

"It's tiring just that." Xiao Er said, cracking two eggs into the crock pot to make salt-free noodle soup, to feed Big Brother and Xiao Shan.

"Second brother, I'm really not tired, I just miss you." As he spoke, the boy's eyes and ears turned red.

"Then we won't go out from now on. We can earn a little money outside, get up earlier than chickens, and do more than cows! From now on, we will follow the second brother, and within two years the second brother will make you a rich landlord. Wait. From now on, when we talk about marriage in Xiaoshan, we will sit at the door of our house and choose girls from all over the world."

"Tsk, Wang Xiaoer, you can suffocate you if you don't brag for a day!" Wang Dalang staggered and almost fell on the stove.

Xiao Er looked up at him, "Brother, if your legs and feet are not good, go and have a good rest, don't jump around!"

"Believe it or not, I'm going to beat you right now?" Wang Dalang glared. This second child is less and less treating him as a big brother.

"Da Lang, hurry up and wash your face and hands, we're eating." Wang Hanshi interrupted, "We'll go to the ground after eating."

"What are you doing in the field?" Xiao Er asked strangely.

"Plow the ground."

"Why?" Xiao Er was even more surprised.

"Don't you make plows just to plow the fields?" Grandpa told her all about it, and she knew it.

"no!"

"What?" Wang Jiasan looked at Xiaoer with both eyes at the same time.

Secondary Alexander, frying fresh bamboo shoots in a frying pan, "We can't take the plow outside. We can take the plow out to plow the field when the county magistrate comes to our house."

"Why?" Wang Dalang put away his joking expression, and his face became serious, "The plow you made is shameful?"

"No." Xiaoer shook his head, "It's because we don't want to see our grandparents and our family.

Xiao Er's words
