There is a handsome man in the rough family

Early in the morning of the second day, after breakfast, Tang Xiaofu wrapped himself in a ball, sat in the back of the bullock cart, and followed Zhao Xiangbei to the county seat.

The Tang family is an adult cow, very experienced.

Zhao Xiangbei waved his whip a little, without hitting the cow, the old cow knew which direction to go,

Zhao Xiangbei asked his husband in a low voice: "You go to town, but do you have any other plans?"

Tang Xiaofu hid behind Zhao Xiangbei, and rolled himself into a ball comfortably, with white mist between his mouths.

"I have some live chickens here, and I want to go to the county town to exchange some food."

"It was given by the gods again?"

Tang Xiaofu sweated for a moment, and it really took ten lies to cover up one lie.

I could only nod my head bravely: "This is a reward. The god put a small pasture in this bracelet, which can raise some things. In autumn, I secretly took the breeding eggs at home, and many small ones hatched. chicken."

With the experience of changing food out of thin air last time, Zhao Xiangbei no longer had any doubts about Tang Xiaofu.

During this period of time, he also observed carefully.Tang Xiaofu was alive and kicking every day, his little face was flushed, and he didn't feel any discomfort.

Except for occasionally taking out some things, he is no different from ordinary people.

So Zhao Xiangbei still had some secret joy in his heart, but fortunately Xiaofu was not taken away by the gods.

It's great that Xiaofu can stay by his side, no matter what kind of secrets he has, I can keep them together for him.

Zhao Xiangbei turned around, held Tang Xiaofu's right hand, touched his wrist, and frowned suspiciously: "Where's that bracelet, didn't you carry it?"

Tang Xiaofu's palm-sized face was huddled in the rabbit fur scarf, revealing a pair of big watery eyes.

"I wanted it to appear and it did, it was so prominent in the home."

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Xiangbei felt that there was an extra pair of bracelets out of thin air, and he lowered his head to check in surprise.

After confirming that it was the blue bracelet, he quickly looked around to confirm that there was no one there, and then hurriedly told him worriedly.

"Let it hide in your wrist, don't let other people find out, if you want to take something in the future, you can tell me if you need cover."

The old god Tang Xiaofu nodded, and Zhao Xiangbei's eyes were gentle and doting, without a trace of greed, only a little bit of concern and worry, Tang Xiaofu felt warm in his heart.

He clasped Zhao Xiangbei's palm with his backhand, interlocked his fingers, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, no one knows this is our little secret except you."

After finishing speaking, Tang Xiaofu blinked playfully,

Zhao Xiangbei smiled, and held Tang Xiaofu's hand firmly in his palm, fearing that he would be tucked into his fur sleeves when he was cold.

"nature!"

The two arrived at the county seat smoothly. It is now winter, and the streets are not very safe, so there are fewer people coming out to set up stalls, and there are even fewer pedestrians on the road.

Zhao Xiangbei was not lying when he said that he knew a deputy manager, and he took Tang Xiaofu through the streets and alleys.

After walking to a remote and narrow place and making sure that there was no one around, Tang Xiaofu took out three big live chickens from the baskets and tied their wings tightly.

Zhao Xiangbei chose a suitable one, and handed a few pennies to the doorman at the back door of the city, only then did he see the steward,

The steward was quite familiar with Zhao Xiangbei, and when he saw him coming, he smiled all over his face: "Why haven't I seen you here recently? Our master is thinking about your mouthful of wild game in the mountains."

"It's almost Chinese New Year, and the family is busy." Zhao Xiangbei picked up the live chicken in his hand and shook it: "The fat from these live chickens is also delicious, do you want it?"

The steward's eyes brightened instantly.

"This chicken is really fat, strong and fresh. I want all three of them. Do you want money or something else?"

Zhao Xiangbei: "Let's change the food, and we can have a full meal at home during the Chinese New Year."

No matter who you are, you know what the situation in the village is like now. After pondering for a moment, you said: "You are a fat chicken, and I will give you 15 catties of white rice for each one. What do you think?"

Zhao Xiangbei nodded: "Trouble you, I want 30 catties of white rice, and the rest can be exchanged for coarse grains."

Although the exchange between coarse grains and white rice and white noodles requires one exchange for three, rich and noble families naturally like polished rice and white noodles.

The steward was also full of joy, and he called the porter to bring out a few bags of grain, and then walked in the door with a live chicken in his hands.

Zhao Xiangbei put the grain on the cart, and drove the ox cart to the alley and said to Tang Xiaofu, "Little Fu, put these grains in your bracelet."

Tang Xiaofu nodded, and with a light wave, the two large bags of grain on the carriage disappeared. The two of them followed suit and sold the sheep that Mrs. Li took out.

Mutton is much more valuable than chicken, and this time they are all replaced with whole grains.

It's time to see.

Tang Xiaofu and Zhao Xiangbei hurried the carriage to the door of the agreed firm.

From a distance, I saw a group of people driving a carriage, and Fengchen ran over in a simple manner.

When the horse team came to a complete stop, a thin scholar in green shirt jumped off the carriage and walked towards them.

With a smile on his face, Tang Xiaofu waved his hands vigorously, and shouted loudly: "Third Brother! Third Brother! Are we here?"

Tang Laosan spent more than half a year in Fucheng Academy, and the scholars have lost a lot of weight. The long gowns that were not well-fitting were even more empty now.

Tang Xiaofu's eyes were sour, and he felt a little distressed, and asked, "Third brother, why are you so thin? Do you feel sorry for Yinzi not eating well? If you get home, your mother will feel so distressed."

Tang Laosan looked at his family with a smile on his face and scratched his head indifferently.

"I've gained some weight these days, so I'm thinner. When you go home, please help me talk to my mother. Please don't make him worry."

Tang Laosan has always had the temperament of reporting good news but not worrying, but now this appearance makes Tang Xiaofu even more heartbroken, so he can only nod helplessly.

Several people got into the car, and Tang Laosan noticed that the food on the car looked at Tang Xiaofu in surprise.

"Did you come to the county to buy food? How is your family? How are Mu and Daddy?"

Tang Xiaofu knew what he was worried about, and smiled reassuringly: "Don't worry, third brother, it's winter when the ewes at home don't produce much milk and don't grow meat, so why don't you just kill them and freeze them for later? Now sell them for food."

Tang Laosan breathed a sigh of relief, and wanted to ask something more, but I opened my mouth and still didn't ask.

The three of them sat on the carriage and hurried home, and arrived at the door of Tang's house in less than an hour.

Mrs. Li had long been waiting in front of the chapel.

Seeing his youngest son from a distance, his eyes turned red instantly, he stepped forward and grabbed his little son's sleeve, and looked again and again.

"You've become taller even if you've lost weight, son, how did you lose weight like this?"

Seeing his mother's tears, Tang Laosan panicked, and quickly wiped Li's tears with his sleeve.

"Mum, don't cry, my son is fine. Do you think your son is not doing well?"

Seeing that it was useless to comfort him, Tang Laosan quickly changed the subject and took out a few coins from the bookcase.

"Mm, look, this is the money I got for being the top five in the two annual exams. Next year, if I work harder, I will be able to save enough for Shuxiu."

Old man Tang felt very relieved at this moment, and patted his son on the shoulder. "Good boy, you're really good. You keep this money and spend it in Fucheng. Don't treat yourself harshly. You don't have to worry about Shuxiu, the family can afford it."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li quickly wiped the tears off her face: "That's right! You don't have to worry, it's the right thing to concentrate on studying and take good care of yourself."

Although Tang Laosan made up his mind to save money to be a teacher, but the love and love of his parents, how could he refute it face to face.

"My son must work hard and live up to your two elders' years of upbringing and teaching."

"Okay! My third son has grown up."

The family enjoyed themselves happily, and Tang Xiaofu hurriedly asked everyone to come in and talk.

He and Zhao Xiangbei took advantage of the fact that all eyes of the villagers were on Tang Laosan.

He hurriedly moved the grain bag to the backyard and put it in the cellar. Taking advantage of no one's attention, he waved his hand and put a lot of radishes and potatoes to fill the cellar.

As for whether Mrs. Li will notice in the future, Tang Xiaofu is very single.

As long as he does not admit it, ancient people have not been baptized by modern novels, so how can they know what space there is.

After finishing everything, Tang Xiaofu winked playfully at Zhao Xiangbei.

Zhao Xiangbei had no choice but to indulge in a spoiled smile, and then covered Tang Xiaofu a bit to make it less obvious.

After they changed their clothes, they went back to the old couple's room,

The whole family sat around on the kang, talking happily.

Brother Tuan brought a bowl and said quickly: "Third brother has worked hard on the journey. It's freezing cold. Drink a bowl of ginger syrup to warm your stomach."

Only then did Mrs. Li suddenly realize, and hurriedly handed the bowl to Tang Laosan.

"The second brother is still careful, drink quickly to keep warm. When you are tired, lie down and rest. This kang was discovered by Brother Fu and built by your second brother. It will be warm this winter, so it won't be hard..."

Tang Laosan touched the hot kang under his palm and couldn't help but marvel.

"If you really have a clever idea, it's no different from a wealthy family's cage. I don't know how much it will cost?"

This ancient time was not without heating equipment, charcoal basins, and earth dragons.

It's just that these are all charcoal-burning, which costs a lot of money in a day, and only wealthy people can afford them.

Tang Lao Er is a well-known craftsman in several nearby villages.

Hanhan smiled, scratched his head, and counted.

Tang Laosan's eyes widened in surprise: "Miao, it's really ingenious. The kang is warmed up with the effort of cooking and boiling water, and the price is cheap. It's really a blessing for the common people."

Tang Laosan is not a bookworm, he understands people's livelihood.

This heated kang is not obvious in the south, but it is useful in the north.

Now this winter, Mom and Dad are both in good health, and they didn't even suffer from Li's old cold legs, which is really rare.

It was rare for Tang Laosan to come back, so Mrs. Li personally cooked, fished out sauerkraut from a small tank, and prepared to make sauerkraut stewed pork.

The dishes here had just been stewed into the pot when there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside.

The fence gate of the yard was slammed.

"It's terrible! Xiangbei, come out quickly. There are people in the village who go hunting in the mountains and haven't come back after a day. It's going to be dark, what should we do?"
