Beloved Plantation King

The next day, the three adults visited Nanpo Village under the leadership of Zheng Wenhao.

After getting off the carriage, Guo Yi and his party were a little surprised.

This big courtyard is all big tile-roofed houses built of blue bricks. Judging by the width of the wall, it must occupy an area of ​​ten acres, right?Really a villager's home?

Yin Peinan and Zuo An brought their family, the village head and several clan elders to greet them at the door.

"Grassman pays homage to all your lords."

There are surrounding villagers around. They received a notice from the village head last night, saying that an adult is coming today, so everyone should be cautious in their words and deeds.They thought it was the county magistrate, but when they saw that the county magistrate was standing behind, they could see that the two officials in front were older than the county magistrate, so they also quickly knelt down.

Mr. Zhou has the highest official rank, waved his hand and said, "Get up, folks, we just came to visit the village today, so you don't need to be polite."

Everyone get up.Yin Peinan said: "My lord, please come in quickly, let's rest in the room for a while."

Guo Yi entered the yard, looked around casually, with a smile in his eyes.It seems that Zuo An's life is really okay, which is good.

Master Liu had been here when they moved house, so he was relieved to let Yin Peinan's house entertain the two adults.

The most surprising thing was Ding Xiao who followed.

He originally thought that Zuo An married a villager. Even though he opened a small shop, wouldn't he be able to get enough food and clothing? He must be living in a thatched house just like ordinary villagers, probably only two or three tile-roofed houses. Well, how could the conditions be better?

Moreover, Zuo An grew up in the capital, and his family conditions are much better than now. Now that he lives in the countryside, how aggrieved he may feel?

Ding Xiao originally came here with the mentality of watching the show, and he can save some face for himself when the time comes.

But now, what did he see?

This house is so big!

Although it is only a second entrance, it occupies a very wide area, the house is spacious and bright, and there is a garden of several acres.This is not only the largest and most beautiful house in the village, but also better than many houses in the county town, even Zuo An's house in the capital city was not so wide!

How can this be ridiculed?You can't compare it with your own home, right?Isn't that a drop in price?

Ding Xiao's breath was stuffed in his throat and there was nowhere to vent it. He was so suffocated that he could only pick out a sour sentence: "Brother An, why don't you put some decorations? Don't you even have a picture?"

Zuo Andang didn't hear it and ignored him.

Ding Xiao almost suffered internal injuries, so he had no choice but to find a seat and sit down.

The tea and snacks at home are all ready, and the snacks from the best shop in the city are not neglected.

After the adults sat down, Yin Peinan introduced the village head and clan elders one by one to several adults, and then said: "The new grain can be pushed to the whole county so quickly, it all depends on the village head and the clan elders' understanding of our family. There is also the Zheng family, who have also planted new grain seeds in their fields, and this kind of grain can supply the farmers in the whole county."

The county magistrate helped them with another sentence: "This new millet tastes good. If they sell rice, they can make a lot of money. But they insist on selling grain seeds and not selling rice. More farmers will come to plant, so that everyone can have enough food. They, okay." The county magistrate gave a thumbs up as he said.

When the magistrate heard the words, he couldn't help but take another look at Yin Peinan, and praised: "You are doing the right thing by caring for the common people."

Guo Yi looked at several people and nodded.

Ding Xiao curled his lips, disapproving.

After resting at home for a while, seeing that it was still early, Guo Yi proposed to go around the fields.Yin Peinan and Zuo An took them out, and Zhao Xiu'e and the others began to prepare lunch.

Walking in the village, Guo Yi saw that the yards of every household were full of ducks, quacking very lively, so he asked, "Do you all raise so many ducks?"

Yin Peinan replied: "This is our planting method, raising ducks in rice fields."

Guo Yi thought for a while, as if he had seen the words "raising ducks in rice fields" in the memorial submitted before, and only

But he didn't think about it so much, and didn't know the deep meaning of it.

He then asked, "How do you raise them? Don't ducks eat grass seedlings? There is also rice, which is the staple food of ducks."

"Don't eat seedlings." Yin Peinan explained the principle and method to them.

After finishing speaking, he happened to walk to the head of the field, and he said, "My lord, you see, our fields are fenced off just for the convenience of raising ducks."

Guo Yi saw that every field was surrounded, some were made of bamboo, some were made of rattan, and some were made of nets.

"No wonder when we entered the village just now, I was surprised to see several fields surrounded by the roadside."

Yin Peinan: "That's from the village in front. They just surrounded it not long ago, and they plan to farm like us this year."

The magistrate asked: "According to what you said, if this can increase income, then we can also spread it to the whole county, and even the whole prefecture."

Yin Peinan shook his head and said, "My lord, it's no problem to push it to the whole county and the whole state, but we must first solve all the follow-up problems before we can do this."

The magistrate asked, "What's the problem?"

Yin Peinan replied: "The duck's question."

"Duck?"

"Yes." Yin Peinan nodded and explained to them: "My lord, think about it, with our method, every household has to raise dozens of ducks, and if there are many fields, it needs to raise hundreds of ducks. Moreover, a new batch has to be raised every season. After this year, each household has more than a hundred or two hundred ducks. If we continue to raise them next year, the grown ducks will have to be sold by then, right? You can eat ducks at home, but if you let the farmers eat ducks every day, they are reluctant to sell them. Take our county as an example, if all the farmers in the county raise ducks, how many ducks will there be! How many ducks were sold?"

Yin Peinan paused and let them think for a while.

After a while, he continued: "We can't sell that many at all, and even the place to raise them is a problem. Then what will happen? At that time, Xinping County will be infested with ducks. If there are too many ducks, improper management will easily cause diseases. The disease of poultry is terrible, and it may be transmitted to humans. So we did not promote this breeding method on a large scale.”

The magistrate and Guo Yi both pondered, and finally had to admit that what Yin Peinan said was right.

Guo Yi asked: "How do you deal with the ducks in your village now?"

"That's right, what are you doing now?" The magistrate was also curious.

Yin Peinan replied: "In our village, most of the male ducks are sold, and only a dozen male ducks are kept in each family. The female ducks are kept, and if they lay eggs, they will be sold to my family to make salted duck eggs. If the family can't keep them If so, let’s sell a batch of ducks.”

After hearing this, several people felt that this method was okay.

The magistrate asked again: "Can't we just put the big duck in the rice field?"

"No, when the seedlings just turned green, they were still very short. The big duck put them in and accidentally stepped on the seedlings. Therefore, the size of the duck must be about the same as the height of the seedlings, or shorter. When it’s time for ducks, if you are still in the city, you can take a look.”

Guo Yi replied: "I am here, I will come when the time comes."

Unexpectedly, there is so much knowledge about putting a duck, and the adults were very moved.

A group of people were walking and watching in the field, when a person behind suddenly fell and screamed.

Everyone looked back, it turned out that Ding Xiao lost his balance for some reason and fell into the nearby field.

Others quickly went down and pulled him up.

"Oh, it hurts, it hurts—" Ding Xiao just stood up, and almost fell down again.

The village chief helped him to the side of the road to sit down, and took off Ding Xiao's shoes, his right ankle was already swollen.

"How is it?" Yin Peinan came over and took a look at Ding Xiao, then asked the village chief.

Several adults were also a little nervous and asked about the situation.

The village chief looked at it and said, "It should be sprained."

Hearing this, Yin Peinan turned to the adults and said, "My lord, I think it's better to send Mr. Ding back first? There is a doctor in the village, you can go and have a look."

The magistrate nodded quickly and said, "Yes, send it to see a doctor."

The village head called a villager to carry Ding Xiao away.

The magistrate was worried, so he went to see it.After all, he is the eldest son of the servant of the Ministry of Industry, if something goes wrong, he can't bear to walk around.

Those with the highest official ranks all went back, and Yin Peinan and the others followed suit. Fortunately, they saw almost all that should be seen.

Ding Xiao really sprained his ankle, his ankle was swollen to the size of a steamed bun, and the doctor wrapped it with herbs, so he had to sit aside and couldn't move anymore.

He was so depressed that he felt that he was at odds with this place, so after lunch, he said he wanted to go back to the city.

The group hurriedly ended their investigation.

Guo Yi actually wanted to take a look again, so he made an agreement with Yin Peinan and the others that he must be notified to come and take a look when they released the ducks.

After seeing off the adults, Yin Peinan and the others didn't go out again in the afternoon.

They went to the mountain bag to check and wander around to check the condition of the seeds. They were afraid that the seeds would be dug out by mice, so they had to fill them up in time if they found them.

When going down the mountain after watching, Zuo An suddenly felt dizzy and fell to the ground without stepping firmly.

"Pei Nan." He hurriedly called Yin Pei Nan in front of him.

"Daughter-in-law!" Yin Peinan turned around and saw her daughter-in-law fell, so she hurried up, trying to pull her up.

"Slippery feet? What's going on today, I'm all wrestling."

Zuo An shook his head and waved his hands again, "Wait." He was still a little dizzy, and his stomach started to hurt.

He covered his stomach, frowned and said, "Pei Nan, my stomach hurts."

"What's the matter? Why did you fall down to your stomach? Let me see." Yin Peinan quickly squatted down, pulled off his wife's clothes, put his hands on Zuo An's stomach, and began to check by inputting the ability.

"I don't know, I'm still a little dizzy, show me." Zuo An leaned his head on Yin Peinan's body, his forehead was so painful that a thin layer of sweat broke out.

After a few breaths, Zuo An asked, "How is it?"

Yin Peinan frowned and said, "Honey, it's strange in your stomach. It seems that there is something, I don't know what it is. As soon as my ability penetrated it, it was absorbed."

"Ah?" Zuo An was startled, raised his head and asked, "What is it?"

"I don't know." Yin Peinan shook her head, looked at her daughter-in-law worriedly, and asked, "How are you? Are you feeling better?"

"It still hurts."

"Don't worry, I will definitely figure out what's going on." Yin Peinan directly used the healing ability. No matter what happened, it was definitely right to relieve the pain of his wife first.

After a while, Zuo An felt less pain and said, "It seems to be better."

"it works?"

Zuo An nodded.

Yin Peinan continued to lose, wondering: "What the hell is it? I don't know what it is if the ability can't be penetrated. How can I still absorb my ability?"

Zuo An frowned, paused for a moment, and said, "...can't it be a tumor?"

Yin Peinan shook his head: "Bah, bah, don't talk nonsense, I gave you a full body checkup last year, you're fine, you're healthy."

"What is that, it can still absorb..." Zuo An paused again, and suddenly looked up at Yin Peinan.

Seeing his expression, Yin Peinan asked, "What's the matter? What did you think of?"

Zuo An stretched out his hand and unconsciously grasped Lao Gong's arm tightly, and said in a low voice, "You said, it couldn't be that one, right?"

His emotions made Yin Peinan a little nervous, Yin Peinan asked: "What?"

Zuo An opened his mouth, took a deep breath, and said, "Could it be... a baby?"

"...Baby?" Yin Peinan was a little surprised, he didn't think of this aspect at all, and now he heard this possibility, his mind was still blank, and he just looked at Zuo An in a daze.

Zuo An was also shocked by his own thoughts, his heart was pounding, and he couldn't calm down at all. At the same time, he was still a little flustered.

But he still tried to remain calm and analyzed: "Look, my stomach hurts, and inside," Zuo An pointed to his stomach, and continued: "I can absorb your power, probably alive, absorb it After that, I didn't feel so much pain."

After a few breaths, Yin Peinan came to his senses, the corners of his mouth slowly grinned, rising higher and higher, and then he said pleasantly: "Yes! It makes sense! If it is a baby, it can explain why it can absorb my ability! "

Zuo An nodded blankly: "...Yes."

Yin Peinan looked at Zuo An's stomach, opened his mouth foolishly, maintained a smiling posture, was stunned for a while, then suddenly raised his head in surprise and said, "Honey, do we have a baby?"

Zuo An was still in shock, he pressed Yin Peinan's hand and said, "Wait a minute, check again to make sure."

"Good good."

The two of them looked down at Zuo An's stomach foolishly.

Yin Peinan asked: "Does it still hurt?"

"One more thing. Is it automatically absorbing power repairs?"

"It should be that you fell just now, and you probably moved your tire gas, which is why it hurts. It may be a little unstable."

"Do you think it will have our abilities in the future?"

"Genetically speaking, there is a high probability."

After a while, Zuo An said, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Yin Peinan also felt it, and the ability has been able to penetrate.

As soon as he touched it, he found that there was indeed a living creature inside, it should be a small embryo, which just absorbed Yin Peinan's ability, and now it is staying quietly.

Yin Peinan's face suddenly softened.

"How is it? Isn't it?" Zuo An asked anxiously, grabbing Lao Gong's sleeve.

"Yes, honey, we have a baby!" Yin Peinan excitedly kissed his daughter-in-law on the face.If it wasn't for them still on the mountain, he would have wanted to hug his wife in circles.

Hearing this, Zuo An stared blankly at his stomach, feeling complicated.

Yin Peinan's palm was still on his stomach, and he also covered it, muttering: "Really, do you have it?"

"Yes, my dear, here is our baby." After being pleasantly surprised, Yin Peinan looked at his daughter-in-law carefully and asked, "My dear, how do you feel now? Are you happy? Can you accept it? "

Zuo An lowered his eyes and looked at his stomach, nana said: "I, I don't know, I am very happy, but also a little, scared."

"What are you afraid of?" Yin Peinan asked.

Zuo An actually didn't know what he was afraid of, so he felt a little flustered.He said: "I was scared and panicked, he came too fast."

Yin Peinan hugged his daughter-in-law, kissed her between the eyebrows, and said, "Don't be afraid, there is me, let's face it together, eh?"

"En." Zuo An responded softly, and stretched out his arms to hug Yin Peinan tightly.

He didn't expect the baby to come so soon, he felt a big shock in his heart, his mind was in a mess, and he needed to digest it.

The baby is here...

The two hugged quietly for a while, waiting for Zuo An to slowly accept the news.

As the sun was setting, Zhao Xiu'e on the wasteland below the mountain told them to go home.

"Honey, are you okay?" Yin Peinan raised her head and asked, carefully observing the expression of her daughter-in-law.

Zuo An took a deep breath and said, "Well, let's go back first."

"Go, go back and tell Aniang and them, they must be very happy."

"Ah."
