Sun Dewang drove the carriage out of the military station and walked along the road out of the city, passing by the restaurant on the way without stopping.

Sun Caixi hadn't eaten since he came out in the morning, and he had drunk a lot of tea at An Yunfei just now, and now he was very hungry, he hoped to have something to fill his stomach, so he asked Sun Dewang: "Grandpa, don't we eat something in the city before leaving?" ”

Sun Dewang didn't look back at his grandson, he waved a horsewhip and said, "We have already eaten when we loaded the car just now, and grandpa left one for you, hurry up and eat it!" ”

After he finished speaking, he took out a free hand and took out a pancake roll from the small wooden box behind the seat, which was wrapped in newspaper, and handed it to Sun Caixi.

Sun Caixi took the pancake handed to him by his grandfather and devoured it.

Grandpa smiled: "Look at you hungry, eat slowly, eat slowly, don't choke!" ”

……

The carriage went all the way back, because it was a truck, the leading grandfather drove the carriage very steadily, the carriage was not fast or slow, when the carriage was loaded just now, the horses were also fed, and the two horses were now energetic, so they walked very energetically.

After eating the pancakes, Sun Caixi wiped the oil on his hands with the newspaper, then crumpled the newspaper into a ball and discarded it on the road.

"Xi'er, our 100 acres of land can't produce food, what will we eat next year" Sun Dewang chatted with Sun Caixi worriedly.

Of course, Sun Caixi knew the country's policy, and he comforted his grandfather: "Grandpa, if the emperor lets us grow cotton and tobacco, he will definitely not let us go hungry." The cotton we grow will be handed over to the state, and the state will return the corresponding grain to us; The tobacco we grow can be sold to Westerners, and Westerners love it. ”

Sun Dewang was more concerned about the country's policy, and he asked: "The state bartered with us?" ”

"Not really." Sun Caixi said, "The state will subsidize us in various forms. For example, the tax rate will be lowered, the ration will be increased, and we can also send us money directly to buy food ourselves. ”

Sun Dewang was relieved and said, "In this way, what the emperor asks us to plant, we just need to plant." ”

"That's right! The emperor will not treat the people badly. ”

Sun Dewang shook his horsewhip and said happily: "We really live in a happy era!" ”

Sun Caixi said: "With a good policy, we also need to be able to operate, if we don't manage well, the gods can't save us." ”

"This grandpa knows better than you."

Sun Caixi said: "Therefore, our 100 acres of wasteland must be opened before the spring, and after it is opened, we can plant wheat, and we can ensure the harvest in drought and flood." ”

Grandpa smiled and said: "Xi'er's book is really not a hundred thoughts, our grandson's family has Xi'er, then it is drought and flood protection!" ”

After Sun Dewang finished speaking, he gave another whip, and the two white horses ran happily on the wide road, pulling the four carriages behind them a short distance.

After a journey of 80 kilometers and more than six hours, Sun Dewang finally transported the rations given to his family by the state to the manor.

Sun Caixi's father, Sun Sihao, had already arranged for fifty black slaves to wait in the yard, and as soon as the carriage entered the gate of the manor, the Indian people urged the black slaves to start working.

The torches illuminated the manor all around, and his father was there to unload the goods, Sun Caixi said goodbye to his grandfather and father, and returned to his two-story small western-style building.

This yard covers an area of about three acres of land, the road is very smooth, Sun Caixi lives in the small western-style building in the east of the courtyard, he greeted an Indian, the Indian immediately arranged a sedan chair to come, the sedan chair is carried by two black slaves, Sun Caixi sat on the sedan chair, the Indian led the way in front, carried Sun Caixi to the door of the small western-style building.

Sun Caixi got off the sedan chair, sent the three slaves away, and then went into his own small courtyard, there was no one in the courtyard, by the moonlight, he closed the courtyard door, closed the door bolt, entered the room, and then closed the door as well.

There was an oil lamp lit in the room, and his wife Fang Caihong heard the movement, walked down from the upper floor, and asked with concern as she walked, "Husband, have you had dinner?" ”

Sun Caixi said: "I just came back, my father was directing the black slaves to unload the truck in the courtyard, and I didn't care about dinner, so I came over." ”

Fang Caihong said: "Concubine, I'm going to prepare dinner for you." ”

Sun Caixi dissuaded: "Don't bother, just ask someone to bring some food over later." ”

"Don't bother, the concubine has already made dinner, but I have been waiting for you for a long time, and I don't see you returning, the dinner is already cold, the concubine will be hot immediately, and we will have to eat soon."

Sun Caixi asked lovingly, "You haven't had dinner either?" ”

"The concubine is willing to wait for her husband to come back and have dinner together." Fang Caihong's voice was very soft.

Sun Cai went to the second floor, the second floor was the bedroom of the young couple, he and Yi lay on the bed, closed his eyes and recuperated. He was so tired that he got up before dawn and was busy until dark, lying in bed and thinking about nothing, the whole room was full of his wife's body fragrance, which seeped into his brain, he felt the smell of home, and enjoyed the silence and tranquility......

"Husband, husband, get up and eat!"

Sun Caixi was woken up by his wife in a daze, in fact, he didn't sleep for long, he felt as if he had slept all night.

Fang Caihong saw that he was lying on the bed without taking off his coat, and couldn't help complaining: "Look at you, go to bed without taking off your clothes!" ”

Sun Caixi said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm too sleepy!" ”

She smiled: "Comfortable now, right?" ”

Sun Caixi got up and said, "I'm already a lot more sober." ”

He smelled a pungent fragrance, and looked at his soft wife: "Thank you for your hard work!" ”

"Let's go down to eat, I made you your favorite braised pork trotters today, as well as wine."

He is not a drinker, he occasionally drinks a small glass, and today there is braised pig's trotters, of course he wants to drink some wine.

The two went downstairs and sat down at the Western-style dining table, and the little couple lovingly fed me a mouthful, and I fed you, and this meal lasted for more than an hour.

After the meal, the two took a hot bath in the bath room naked, and under the oil lamp, the little couple had to go upstairs to perform the Zhou Gong ceremony without wearing any clothes.

As soon as they stepped on the stairs, they heard a sudden noise in the silent courtyard, and the sound came from the far away gate, Sun Caixi stopped and listened quietly for a while, feeling that something was not right, as the eldest grandson of the Sun family, he had to stand up and not nest in his own comfort zone.

He hurriedly put on his shirt and trousers, and grabbed the Minnie gun behind the door with one hand.

Fang Caihong didn't dare to breathe, and stood there with white flesh, watching her husband's every move.

"Don't worry, with me, nothing will happen."

"Are you going out?" She asked softly.

Sun Caixi patted her sensitive place, her whole body tightened like an electric shock, as if a clear spring poured into her heart, her face suddenly turned crimson, and there was no trace of fear.

"You go upstairs first, I'll be back soon."

After he finished speaking to his wife, he looked at her with firm eyes, and she stepped on a lot in her heart, and went upstairs with confidence.

Sun Caixi came to the courtyard with a gun, the courtyard of his house was quiet, he opened the courtyard door, and there was an Indian on night duty outside the door, this Indian belonged to his house slave, the kind that belonged to the close slave, and did not belong to the personal house slave.

The Indian had trained him to speak a few words of Chinese, and he named the Indian Monday, because it was Monday when the Indian came to their house. Monday was a faithful servant, about twenty years old, not to mention that he was only twenty years old, and he looked like a man of forty years old, with a dark and rough complexion, and the Indians at this time had an average life expectancy of only about thirty years.

Sun Caixi asked Monday to follow him, and he came to the compound, which was already brightly lit, and he saw that his grandfather and father were talking to each other, and several uncles and his brothers were also in the courtyard.

"Grandpa, what's going on?" He came to Sun Dewang and asked.

Sun Dewang said: "I don't know who is knocking on the door of our manor outside, and in the middle of the night, the house slaves dare not open the door, so they wake us up." ”

"Let me see who is knocking on the door in the middle of the night."

Sun Caixi strode towards the door, Monday following closely behind him.
