The wheat stalks were bent over by the golden ears of wheat, and one by one, they seemed to be laughing. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The tenants did not dare to slack off, now they are busy in the crops, and the wheat must be harvested as soon as it is ripe, otherwise if the ears of wheat fall into the field or it rains, this year's harvest will be discounted, and Master Li can urge him to pay the rent.

Now it's a mango seed, the weather is hot, just for a while, the tenants who are busy working in the field are sweating like rain, and when they take off their clothes, they are steaming hot, like steamed buns just out of the pot.

……

What is incompatible with this busy farm life is that there is a young man lying under a tree next to the field to shade, his straw hat buttoned casually on his face, and his legs are casually chattering, a leisurely mess.

"Rhubarb, eat hard with your belly open, but don't lose weight, poor little brother, I have a pitiful fifteen literary wages a month, and I can't afford to be punished."

Only then did he take off the straw hat and see the appearance of the young man, eleven or twelve years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, handsome appearance, and a handsome little guy alive.

The old cow called rhubarb on the side just mooed, and he lowered his head to eat grass, what do you know about the cow playing the piano?

Got up from the ground with difficulty, the boy stretched his waist, I don't know how long he was confused, daddy, they should be tired, right?

Thinking of the young man in his heart, he opened his throat: "Dad...... If you're tired, don't worry about it, my mother called you home for dinner! ”

This lazy young man is a person from Li Jiagou, called Li Gouyu, saying it may scare you, this young man belongs to this era in addition to this body, and his soul is actually a college student from later generations.

To be precise, the boy crossed over, and Li Gouyu only remembered that he had a car accident, and when he woke up, he found that he had come to the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty in a daze.

Looking up at the sky, the sun had already set in the west, and it was time for dinner, the young man couldn't help but be impatient, and urged again: "Dad, it's time to return the cow, if you don't leave, then Li Papi will have to deduct my wages." ”

The dog's daily task is to herd the cattle, take the cattle out of Master Li's house in the morning, and return them in the evening, rain or shine.

"Okay, okay, you bear child, what are you arguing about!"

A burly man with a face full of vicissitudes came out of the field and said angrily: "I slept on the ground for a day, but are you still comfortable?" You look at the children of other people's two cows, but they have been working hard for a day! ”

"I'm lazy!"

Who knew that the young man was not ashamed but proud, and he still hung his son in charge.

Li's father laughed angrily, and touched his son's head dotingly, his son is really, he has been like this since he got better from a serious illness, he doesn't take the grass, and he doesn't bother to help him when he pours the oil bottle, this child is spoiled by his mother!

"Dad, if you don't return the beef and plum skin, you're going to nag me again, or you're always busy first, and I'll go first?"

"Wait, look at your monkey anxious look, let you come out to work, you just grind tightly, when you go out to work, you seem to be fighting every time, can you have a little bit of fun?"

Although he scolded like this, Father Li still took out a multigrain cake in his arms: "Eat it." ”

"Dad, I don't want to see anything to eat! I've been rumbling in my stomach all day. ”

Looking at the food, Li Gou's eyes were about to be green, so he hurriedly grabbed it and feasted on it.

As the saying goes, half the size eats Lao Tzu to death, and it is when the eleven or twelve long body is long, and Li Gou is not hungry for a while.

After eating the cakes, Li's father put a cow saddle on the cow, hugged his son and sat on it, and the two went to Master Li's house to return the cow.

Lost and came to Master Li's house, his housekeeper, who was called Li Papi, was already waiting at the door, and when he glanced at the two of them, he was not angry and said: "Hey, this cow looks thinner today!" ”

When the cattle are returned every day, Li Pai will be weighed, and if he loses weight, he will naturally be punished.

"Why did you lose weight? Although my son is lazy, but I don't know how many grazing fields I have for the cow a day, and this cow is not so fine as a sheep, why will he lose weight? ”

Father Li was sincere, and when he heard this, he touched his head and wondered, this cow is about to burst open when he looks at his belly, how can he lose weight?

You stupid father, can't you hear that this is Li Papi cheating us? Li Gouyu glanced at the stupid father angrily and funny, which didn't matter: "Then weigh it, the weight of this cow will definitely increase unabated today." ”

Okay, I see that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin! Li Papi glanced at Li Gouyu viciously: "Cheng, then call it up, our Master Li's scales are not bullied, and even the officials of the Yamen came to our Master Li's house to weigh them!" ”

Saying this, Li Papi said in his heart, boy, if you really don't have some means to exploit you poor people, our old Li can still drink and meat every day?

Beckoning a few tenants to come over, everyone began to weigh the cattle in all directions.

In the Ming Dynasty, China already had a large scale that could weigh 9,000 catties, and it was not as troublesome to weigh the cow as Cao Chong said in the book, as long as the scale was counted again.

"If you take Master Li's money, you have to do something for Master Li, if this cow loses weight today, we will have to punish your family's wages for herding cattle, don't complain about us when the time comes."

"Five catties of scales are seven, five seven thirty-two, plus eight hundred, a total of eight hundred and thirty-two catties." After a while, the weight of the cow came out, and the villain with Li Peel's face was proud: "Yesterday, this cow was eight hundred and thirty-four pounds, and I lost two pounds!" ”

Saying that, Li Papi jumped to his feet and scolded as if he had been wronged: "Li Shishi, I want to fine your family ten cents of wages!" ”

When several tenants heard this, they all looked at the Li family's father and son sympathetically, and they really didn't know why these two people offended Li Papi.

Li Shishi is the name of Li's father, and when he heard this, Li's father grew up and said: "Ah? Brother Li, don't, my son only earns fifteen coppers for a month, you see if this is punished......"

"Less nonsense!" Li Papi glanced at Father Li with disgust: "This is the rule of herding cattle!" Wasn't that the case with the cattle you borrowed from the government before? If the cow loses weight, he will be fined silver, and it has been like this for generations, and your Li Shishi family still wants to escape? ”

Li Peel's words made Li's father speechless, the cow will be fined silver if it is thin, it is justified, admit it, tomorrow call his son to herd the cattle more attentively, this will lower his head and hang his head depressed to take his son home, today, I am afraid that it will be planted again.

Looking at Father Li's recognition, the corner of Li's mouth showed an imperceptible smirk, no, the money for a day's wine and meat is coming out again, boy! Fight me? You're still too tender!

The tenants on the side all looked at the Li family father and son sympathetically, Li Shishi is a dark-hearted person, and he can find Yuzi to deduct his salary at every turn, but what can he do if he is under the eaves?

Everything seems to be a foregone conclusion, and the poor dog's remaining month's wages seem to be in vain.

"Wait."

A cold voice startled the big guy, and it was Li Gouyu, the son of the Li family, who spoke.

"No, there's something wrong with your scale!"

Li Gouyu pointed to the big scale and said to Li Gou.

"Oh, joke, Master Li's weighing rod is a well-known Tong Su is not bullied, even the ...... of the Yamen"

"Five-seven-thirty-five, not thirty-two! My cow weighs a pound today, why do you punish me for my wages? ”

Without waiting for Li to finish talking about the vernacular, Li Gou left the way.

Bullying yourself as a child doesn't count? You can fool Dad, but you can't fool me! Li Gouyu was furious.

Li Papi, who was interrupted by his cold speech, was still a little unhappy in his heart, and only then did he react after a while: Why has the tried and tested trick been debunked today?

The scene was silent for a while, and everyone looked at Li Gouyu together, what? Is it possible that the son of the stone family can count and memorize Xiao Jiujiu?
