"Wen Hao, go and paste this document outside."

Summoned Wen Hao and handed over the paper written in her hand, Xia Mei put away her pen and ink, stood up and moved her neck.

Wen Hao took the paper, glanced at it, and asked in surprise, "Mrs. Xia...... You're ......."

Xia Mei smiled faintly, "You go and put it on first!" ”

Wen Hao had no choice but to put away his doubts first and do as Xia Mei instructed.

It was early in the morning, and there were the most people on the street, after all, when the weather was hot, everyone honestly hid at home, and only waited for the early morning and evening when the weather was not hot before they came out to do activities.

The document posted by Wen Hao did not take long to arouse onlookers, and the crowd who saw the content was even more restless in a low voice.

"Eh, what do you mean by this blessing? Selling the grain harvested by the ice, and now taking it out to sell it again, is this abacus too loud?! ”

As soon as a man's words fell, there was another sneer in the crowd, "Look at what you said, Tianfu is supported by the imperial court, and it is good to sell ice in order to alleviate the disaster?!" The food you eat is still given to you by others! ”

Originally, the words of the first man more or less aroused a little jealousy in everyone's hearts, but the latter person ruthlessly exposed the truth, and it was also, the grain harvested by Tianfu was the share of their own labor.

Most of the imperial court was honestly sent to the yamen, and every few days the shopkeeper would send a large cart over, which was obvious to everyone, and no one could slander it with a conscience.

At first, although the man also thought in his heart that what the other party said was true, but he was refuted in front of him, and he couldn't get over it on his face, so he stiffened himself and shouted: "Then he will take the grain now in exchange for the field." What's going on?! Don't you want to take advantage of the fact that everyone can't farm, and take it all under your own name?! ”

If this kind of language is too aggressive, there will be a lot less harmony, after all, no one wants to offend Tianfu.

But what you think in your heart, it is unknown.

The man who spoke did not get everyone's support, and his heart was even more empty, seeing that no one around him was paying attention to him. It simply slipped away.

Wen Hao and Liu Quan had been standing behind the door and observing. Seeing such a scene, I was inevitably confused and worried.

"Brother Wen, what do you think of Mrs. Xia? That's good food. If you don't send it to the grain store to exchange it for money, what do you do in the restaurant? Now it's going to be exchanged for land...... You must know that if it has not rained for a long time, the soil in the field is as dry as stones, and many fertile fields have become hard soil. What did she do with it?! ”

Liu Quan finally couldn't help it and muttered in Wen Hao's ear. Wen Hao also sighed in his heart, he didn't know either!

Not to mention whether someone will come to exchange for land, let's just say that someone will change the land, what will Mrs. Xia do?! 's own restaurant can't be operated, is Mrs. Xia going to change careers? Do you want to collect land rent?!

Wen Hao began to roar in his heart, no matter what, this time Wen Hao couldn't figure out Mrs. Xia's intentions. Could it be that I have been in a bad mood lately, so I started to ...... Casual work?!

Of course. I also muttered to Liu Quan in private, who dared to go to Mrs. Xia to say, who didn't know that in the past few days, Mrs. Xia's face was as black as the bottom of the pot, and she walked away from time to time, and everyone in the restaurant was in danger, and they all walked around when they saw her.

Even Wen Xi didn't dare to approach her master recently, for fear that if she was not careful, she would be dragged over to practice knife work.

There was the sound of Xia Mei clanging and chopping bones from the kitchen, Wen Hao and Liu Quan glanced at each other and shivered unconsciously.

Good...... It's scary!

Therefore, a woman who loses the nourishment of love is really as terrible as a demon.

Just when everyone thought that the paper was just a decoration and would not have an effect, there were really people above it who expressed their willingness to exchange land for food.

Wen Hao looked at the cramped man in front of him in surprise, the clothes on his body did not fit, and there were several patches, and under their gaze, he slowly blushed and lowered his head.

He seems to be a poor and honest man......

Wen Hao sighed in his heart, asked Liu Quan to take care of the person first, and he went to call Mrs. Xia out.

Staring at everyone's "admiring" gaze, Wen Hao carefully interrupted Xia Mei's great cause of chopping bones, and euphemistically told her that there was a man outside who came to exchange for food.

When Xia Mei heard this, she washed her hands, picked up her apron and wiped it, then lifted the curtain and walked out.

The man looked a little anxious, sitting on a chair with the tea that Liu Quan had mixed for him, fidgeting.

Seeing Xia Mei come out, she immediately stood up and looked at her expectantly.

"Childe, please take a seat, you're welcome."

Xia Mei sat down with a light smile and gently comforted the man, she thought that the other party was nervous, so she comforted her casually.

Since the other party is here to exchange food, Xia Mei doesn't talk much nonsense, and goes straight to the point, "Childe is here for food?" ”

The man glanced at Xia Mei and said in a low voice, "Madame can call me Chen Langsheng...... Xiaosheng is indeed here to call for food. ”

Xia Mei raised her eyebrows lightly, she didn't see it, this is still a reader.

Generally, only scholars will call themselves students, and looking at the other party's appearance, they don't think they have made a name for themselves.

Since she is a scholar, Xia Mei was unconsciously polite, and changed her words: "Chen Gongzi, the little woman wants to ask, how many catties of grain do you want to exchange?" According to what the document says, one acre of land is eighty catties of grain, how many fields do you have, son? ”

Chen Langsheng's eyes seemed to be hesitating, and he finally sighed helplessly for a while: "Ten acres, Xiaosheng for ten acres." ”

Wen Hao glanced at the other party in surprise, and then realized it instantly.

It seems that the other party has exchanged all the fields for huàn, presumably because he has gained fame and failed to pass the exam, plus natural disasters, and the family can no longer open the pot.

As a scholar, he can't work in the fields, so it's useless to have a natural field.

Xia Mei must have thought of this, and didn't ask much, called Liu Quan to bring pen and ink, and the two sides confirmed the location of the land, and the type of grain that Xia Mei exchanged, and made a document, and then went to the Yamen later, and the land was in Xia Mei's name.

Chen Langsheng was very moved, and the lady in front of him must have seen through his embarrassment. But he didn't ask or say, and there was no contempt in his words and actions, and he was even very respectful.

Such a woman with such a mind and vision is really rare in the world!

Chen Langsheng pulled the ox cart, all the grain on it was the hope of his family, and the bitterness in his heart was boundless.

Xia Mei looked at the other party's powerless appearance and shook her head. said to Wen Hao: "Go to Yang Yilang and ask for a few people." Give him a trip, lest he be remembered before he arrives home. ”

Wen Hao immediately ran out. Not long after he came back, he was followed by a few big men, and his anger was amazing, Xia Mei said to Chen Langsheng: "Chen Gongzi, you are afraid of danger with so much food alone." These brothers give you a ride, and bring back the ox cart by the way. ”

Chen Langsheng was even more excited, not knowing what to say. Respectfully made a big salute to Xia Mei, "Mrs. Xia's grace, Chen Langsheng will never forget, and he will be rewarded by a spring in the future!" ”

Xia Mei smiled faintly. didn't take it to heart, seeing that the other party had no way out, he said in a low voice: "If Chen Gongzi can trust the little woman." Then keep the food for yourself, and don't sell it. ”

Chen Langsheng was shocked in his heart. After a pause, he answered with a "yes".

Then he led the ox cart, pulled the grain, and left accompanied by several big men.

With the first person, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and finally saw hope, right?

Wen Xi saw that Xia Mei's face softened slightly, so he was bold, stepped forward and pulled Xia Mei's sleeve and asked coquettishly, "Master, what do you want this land for?" ”

Xia Mei stopped peeling potatoes in her hand, raised her head and glanced at Wen Xi in front of her with a smile, and the people behind her who wanted to stop talking, and said lightly: "I want to be a landlord's wife, can't I?!" ”

Everyone: "......"

Wen Hao looked strange, looking at Xia Mei's gaze with surprise, suspicion and helplessness.

Although for a woman, it is naturally good to be an idle person like a landlord's wife, but if such a person is replaced by Xia Mei...... I always feel that the painting style is very scary......

It seems that Mrs. Xia doesn't plan to tell everyone about her plans at the moment, but what does it matter? Mrs. Xia's decision is always right.

Not to mention...... Wen Hao looked at the tiredness hidden in Xia Mei's lowered eyes, and sighed faintly in his heart.

I don't know when Brother Wu will come back......

That's right, Wen Hao found out that Wu Song had left, because Wu Song had been absent from his classes for several days, coupled with Xia Mei's recent abnormality, it was not difficult to deduce that Wu Song probably had something to leave.

But what Wen Hao didn't know was that Wu Song said goodbye without saying goodbye, and he was never heard from.

Time passed, and on the first day that the document was posted, there were three or four people who came to exchange it for food, and finally it was divided into the field under Xia Mei's name, which was already twenty acres.

What is the concept of 20 acres? Xia Mei, who used to be a modern person, didn't understand, but since she came here, she has some fields, so she has some understanding of fields.

Twenty acres together, it takes half an hour to go to the end, in general, it is a very large piece of land, these people are in different villages, and the land is also very scattered, according to other people's meaning, they don't want these scattered land, it is not easy to take care of, but it is indifferent to the person who comes to refuse, it is really confusing.

Another day passed, and Wu Song still didn't come back.

Xia Mei's face finally became worse and worse, she couldn't squeeze out her reluctant smile, and she lay on the bed alone at night, looking at the empty bed next to her, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.

Whatever the reason, it's really too much to walk for so long without a single message!

She was angry and anxious, but Xia Mei had nothing else to do but wait when she was forced to wait. Sometimes I woke up from a dream, and the appearance of him covered in blood in the dream was vivid, and it was so shocking that Xia Mei couldn't sleep anymore, sat up, and sat on the pillow until dawn.

The face of the man in front of him was pale, and the side face hidden in the shadows tried hard to suppress his feelings.

Xia Mei's pupils trembled uncontrollably, and she couldn't believe it, looking at the suppressed murderous aura of the man in front of her.

There was a moment of strangeness, shaking her head, Xia Mei reacted, pursed her lips and gently stroked her tight thighs, and asked softly, "Husband...... What happened to you? ”

At the moment when Xia Mei touched Wu Song, she obviously felt that the other party's body was tense and straightened instantly, if the object was not Xia Mei, it was estimated that she had been thrown to the ground at this moment.

Wu Song turned his head, his deep and gentle eyes were as deep as a swamp at the moment, dark and terrifying, and after staring at Xia Mei for a long time, he suddenly came back to his senses, and his eyes became complicated and sad.

Taking a deep breath, Wu Song slowly relaxed, turned his head and did not speak.

Xia Mei was even more worried, and pulled his face in front of her, her apricot eyes were moist and affectionate, "Husband...... How do you get here? What's the matter? ”

Wu Song's heart was in a mess at the moment, looking at Xia Mei's worried eyes, he didn't say anything for a long time.

The two were at a stalemate for a moment, Wu Song gently took Xia Mei's hand on his face, sighed, and said in a low voice, "It's nothing." ”

Then he got up and walked out the door.

Xia Mei watched the other party leave without saying a word, knowing that there was the sound of the courtyard door opening and closing outside, so she woke up suddenly, and ran to the door to see Wu Song's back disappearing in front of the door.

What's going on?

There was a faint uneasiness in her heart, which was expanding more and more, Xia Mei pursed her lips, trying to ignore the uncomfortable strange feeling in her heart, this strange emotion made Xia Mei anxious and panicked.

"It's okay, maybe the husband just heard these things and remembered some things from the past...... I'm just in a bad mood, I'll be back later. ”

After silently repeating it in her heart a few times, Xia Mei appeased her urge to chase out, calmed down, and went to the kitchen to start cooking dinner.

At the beginning, Xia Mei was really serious about preparing dinner, she was going to make porridge and side dishes with pancakes tonight, and eat something light for dinner in the hot summer to quench her thirst.

It's just that the process is not so smooth, first accidentally added too much rice, the porridge became slimy, and then the side dishes were less salty and tasteless.

In the end, she fried the pancakes that she was best at in the past, and Xia Mei looked at the messy meal in front of her, wanting to cry without tears.

Looking at the sky, Tang Bao hadn't come back yet, and sighed, it seems that tonight, he can only eat noodles again.

After making the noodles, Tang Bao also came back in a hurry, Xia Mei pulled him to wash his hands and sit at the dinner table, Tang Bao asked suspiciously: "Mother, where is Daddy?" ”

Xia Mei's face stiffened, and she pulled out a smile and said, "Daddy...... He's in trouble, let's wait! ”

Tang Bao intuitively looked at her mother's face was not very good, she was very sensible and didn't ask much, nodded obediently, and tried very hard to divert her mother's attention and give her interesting things about going to school.

Xia Mei's heart was warm, her eyes were full of love, and she touched Tang Bao's little head, and her mood was finally better.

It's just that with the passage of time, Xia Mei dialed the wick of the oil lamp three times, Tang Bao was already so tired from telling the story that he was lying on the table, and his weak appearance made people feel distressed.

Looking outside the door, Tang Bao asked in a low voice, "Mother, hasn't Daddy come back yet?" ”

Xia Mei's eyes kept staring at the door, motionless, the dim and flickering light stretched her shadow on the wall, fluttering, as if the wind would blow away. (To be continued.) )
