This little kid... Yang Chengli thought back, it seems that he was the one who played the drum just now, right?

Shen Kang smiled and bowed, and said, "Village chief, it's getting late today, so don't let Mrs. cook." My mother prepared some coarse tea and light rice, please come over to your family, don't dislike it. ”

If he said that there was any good food and good food made at home, Yang Chengli would definitely hesitate, but the coarse tea and light rice of the countrymen would be another matter.

Yang Chengli was still thinking about it, Shen Kang walked around behind him, pushed him, and said in a childish voice: "The little sisters of the Yang family are hungry, let's go." ”

Yang Chengli was stunned, this kid... He smiled and said as he walked out, "Okay, let's go." ”

Shen Kang let go of his hand with a smile, turned his eyes and looked at Yang Wu with Yang Siniang following behind him, and put his mind at ease. He walked slowly and asked, "Village Chief, what is the name of our newly appointed county honorific, and how are others?" ”

Shen Kang's idea is actually simple, in the future, if he wants to participate in the imperial examination, the first pass is the county examination, and the chief examiner of the county examination is the county magistrate. He wanted to know in advance about the behavior and likes and dislikes of some magistrates, which was important for achieving a good ranking.

Yang Chengli didn't think much about how Shen Kang knew that he knew Zhixian, and said truthfully: "The county lord's surname is Zhang Mingxian, and he is kind-hearted, if it weren't for him, our family wouldn't have come here." ”

"How old is the county lord?"

Yang Chengli said: "About... When I was about five or nine years old, I heard that it was originally a person who was promoted by Jiajing for six years, and he was recommended by an adult to get this official vacancy. It seems that he also came from a poor background. ”

Zhang Xian, five or nine years old, was born in poverty, kind, and was recommended by Bole.

Shen Kang secretly wrote it down, and didn't dare to ask any more questions, for fear that Yang Chengli would become suspicious. But I also know in my heart, this village chief Yang is an upright person, if there is anything that needs to be promoted, tell him, it's right...

Turning the path, there was a familiar dog barking in the small courtyard not far away, and Shen Kang shouted: "Xiaohua, stop barking!" ”

The dog was really silent, Yang Siniang felt that this scene was familiar, in previous years, she went out to play with her three brothers, and when she came home, the family dog also barked like this.

At that time, she only had to bark once, stop barking, and the dog would definitely not bark.

Now that her home is gone, her brother is gone, and her playmates are so far away from her, she has come to a completely strange place.

She silently lowered her head, unconsciously, thinking that she was a dwarf.

Shen Chang in the courtyard had been waiting for a long time, and when he heard Shen Kang's voice, he hurriedly pushed the door and greeted him: "Little San, why is it so late, my mother baked a flatbread, but it is fragrant." ”

Shen Kang ran forward with a smile: "Did the second brother steal it?" ”

"No..."Shen Chang was hesitant, obviously lying.

At this time, the Shen family was discharged from the hospital one after another, and this was to invite the village chief to dinner, which was not sloppy at all. They are peasant households, and the biggest official they can contact on a daily basis is the village head, and with Xie Jing first, they are even more afraid.

Shen Cheng walked in front, and when he saw the two boys laughing and playing, he hurriedly reprimanded: "Second, third, don't make trouble!" ”

"Yes..."The two brothers lowered their heads, like a little demon seeing the king, and walked around behind him and stood beside Shen Ning.

Shen Ning laughed in a low voice: "You deserve it, you should be scolded." ”

"Slightly." Shen Chang stuck out his tongue, and Shen Ning chuckled and patted him on the shoulder.

Over there, Shen Cheng stepped forward and bowed his hand: "Village elder." ”

Yang Chengli hurriedly replied, "Brother Shen, don't torture me. ”

Shen Chengwan didn't expect his reaction, he was stunned for a while, and hurriedly bowed deeper: "Village chief, you, you have tormented me." ”

Yang Chengli's face was embarrassed, and years of pain had worn away all his dignity as a scholar. He also knew that he was famous, so he was not the head of a village, and he also received his courtesy. He was just used to bowing his head and being a man, and when someone respected him so much, he actually subconsciously saluted a farmer with no merit.

He suddenly woke up, he seemed to be a little too humble, but he was still not used to this, and said sneeringly: "Let's go in and talk." ”

Shen Cheng also sensed his discomfort, and felt a little difficult in his heart for a while, so he smiled stubbornly: "The village elder invites first." ”

This atmosphere was about to fall to the ground, Shen Kang smiled and said, "Eldest sister, quickly get a flatbread for the fourth sister and try the mother's craftsmanship." ”

Shen Ning: "Eh! While taking Yang Siniang's little hand and walking inside, he said with a smile: "Siniang is tired, come into the house to take a breath and drink some hot soup, the eldest sister will bring you cakes, my mother's pancake skills are a must." ”

Yang Siniang looked at Shen Ning, only thinking that she was a fairy-like sister, and she was stunned for a while, and nodded with a slightly red face.

Shen Wang's side also came to Yang Wu's side as expected, and said with a smile: "Madam, I see that you are less than thirty, I will call you a big sister, do you think it's okay?" ”

Yang Wushi smiled gently, nodded and said, "And it should be so." ”

Shen Wang said: "What their men say about theirs, let's ignore it." ”

Yang Wu nodded and said, "I'll accompany you to pick up the chatter." ”

"That's great!"

The two women smiled at each other and went through the door together.

The women and children quickly became one, and the men's spirits were relaxed.

Cabbage stew, the farmer's practice, is fragrant. A plate of stir-fried chicken, served with spicy seeds, has an attractive aroma. A plate of bacon fried vegetables, and a plate of home-made pickles, a meal of joy.

Yang Wu's family was also reserved before, but the Shen family was enthusiastic, and kept picking vegetables for her, and for a while, her index finger moved, and she actually ate three flatbreads.

Yang Siniang hadn't eaten such good things for a long time, and she was so focused on this table that she had no time to take care of anything else.

It was Yang Chengli, after drinking a few glasses of wine, he began to feel homesick.

Although Shen Cheng was wooden, he was very kind and simple, and when he saw his expression, he remembered what Shen Chang said when he ran home.

If you still doubted it before, with a deep mustard in your heart, most of it has been solved at this moment.

As he poured his wine, he asked, "Village Chief, don't think about the past." Our eyes grow in front of us, not in the back of our heads, that is, the ancestors told us, look forward to everything, right? ”

Shen Cheng's words are not rough. Yang Chengli let out a long sigh: "Hey... My father, my son, I am ashamed to be a son and a father. I really didn't expect that during the Chinese New Year, the northern captives would take advantage of this time to enter the city. ”

He said intermittently: "Later, I heard that the officers and soldiers who were defending the city were all very drunk, and when the northern captives entered the city, they thought that some general had come to reward them, and they actually opened the city gate and stood there, like..."

"Chopped like cabbage... Those brutes came to rob, and without warning at all, they broke through the door and went straight to the grain, and whoever stopped and cut whom. ”

He burst into tears, his face flushed, and tears rained down: "My father and mother are already over the age of sixties." My son..."He looked sideways at Shen Chang and Shen Kang and said, "The eldest son is the same age as them... I hugged them, and their necks, with only a little bit of skin attached to them, were about to fall off. ”

"Bang!" Shen Cheng slapped the table and said angrily: "Even the old man and the child don't let go, these captives have no humanity at all!" ”

Shen Chang looked at Village Chief Yang with a sneer, frowned and said, "Little San, I know what I'm going to do." ”
