Chapter 216: Grandma
Hearing this, Liu Shi turned his head to look at the kettle in his hand, but no, there were only one or two drops of water hanging there.
"The kettle is smaller, so it has to be bigger." Liu was silent for a moment, and did not look back, as if talking to himself.
"Small? It's not small, when we came in, there was no water in the kettle. Chen Ping couldn't help but smile and showed a strange expression, "I thought you were accumulating the morning dew on the leaves." ”
"What do you want that dew for?" Liu muttered in a low voice, glanced in the direction of the hall a few times, his expression was slightly embarrassed, and he suddenly reacted, "It's almost evening, where did the morning dew come from?" ”
"Really? It's all night? Chen Pingtong was strange, looked up at the sky, and saw the sun in the west, and then suddenly realized, "It's true, mother, you don't mention it, I didn't know that it was so late." ”
Seeing Chen Ping's appearance, Liu put the kettle in a hurry, walked up to the front, and pinched Chen Ping's ears: "If you are an official, you dare to make fun of your mother, you have a fat guts, right?" ”
Chen Ping tilted his head, shouted in pain, and hurriedly said: "How can I be, even if I become a general and become the prime minister, you are also my mother, and I am still your son." ”
"The person who has made the county order, he can't say it randomly, he has to be more steady, otherwise he will let outsiders see it, where is the prestige?" Seeing that what his son said was true, the raised knot in Liu's heart was untied, let go, and went to the kitchen in a hurry, "Mother, I'll cook for you." ”
Nonsense is seen to have lost its prestige, so if you mention your ears, you won't lose your prestige?
"Okay, I'm going to eat the steamed fish you made." Chen Pingdao, the other ear was suddenly pinched again, bared his teeth and said, "Little lady, don't pull your brother's ears, your nails should be cut." ”
finally coaxed Chen Zhen to let go, put down Chen Zhen and let him play by himself. In the hall, Chen Xiaoyi stood by the door with a large tea cup.
"Grandpa, you also drink tea?" Chen Ping saw it and greeted him busily.
At the east entrance of the village, I clearly saw Grandpa carrying a hoe and wearing a half-used linen shirt that usually went to the ground, but at this time he was changing into a clean robe.
Can......
Chen Ping's eyes fell on Chen Xiaoyi's feet, a pair of cloth shoes were stuck with a lot of mud stains, and there were a few grass stems attached to the edge of the shoes.
"Well, it's okay to leave and right, take a sip of tea, take a walk around, and it's leisurely." Chen Xiaoyi held the shelf and took a sip of tea, it was really a drink, a cow drink, "You just became the county order, you should focus on the things in the county, why did you run back?" ”
"Grandpa, is it really tea in that cup?" Chen Ping stretched out his head and asked, today is really strange, first it was my mother, and now my grandfather is like this.
Is the sun coming out of the west? How did the personalities of the two of them change their positions? Chen Ping looked up at the sky, the sun was really in the west, but it was setting.
"Since it is tea, I just brewed it, I just slept and my head was a little heavy, so I drank some tea to refresh myself." Tea to wake up and relieve fatigue is what Chen Ping said when he persuaded Chen Xiaoyi to drink tea, but Chen Xiaoyi still remembers.
"Oh, then Grandpa, you can continue to drink." Chen Ping pointed to Chen Xiaoyi's feet, "Grandpa, your shoes are dirty, are there any other places in the house that are not covered with green bricks and wooden boards?" ”
Chen Xiaoyi lowered his head, no, there was still mud on those shoes. I ran into the house in a hurry, and I actually forgot to change my shoes.
The face is slightly warm.
At this time, Liu Shi carried a fish in his hand, came out of the back cover room, and glanced at Chen Xiaoyi: "Just now in the open space in the east of the village, the eldest child has already seen the two of us, you quickly put down the tea, don't drink it if you are not used to it, it makes people laugh." ”
His face became hotter, and Chen Xiaoyi looked at Chen Ping: "Did you really see it?" ”
"Grandpa, you carried a hoe and ran back from the field, right? I see you still have sweat stains on your face. Chen Ping replied honestly, "I really saw it." ”
"You kid, don't say it sooner." Chen Xiaoyi reproached, this face is a little bigger.
"I was just thinking about saying hello to Grandpa, when I saw you turn around and leave, faster, I didn't catch up, now I want to come to Grandpa, you should be too thirsty, come back for tea?" Chen Ping found a step for Chen Xiaoyi.
"Well...... Thirsty, thirsty, it's hot, it's only June, why is it hotter than ever? Chen Xiaoyi answered vaguely twice, turned back to the hall, and put the teacup.
This man threw it.
The dinner was very rich, a full table, Chen Ping called Liu Zhuangshi and Xia Liang, and let the two of them confess their crimes one after another, and they didn't dare to sit down.
"Okay, it's just a meal, how can you be so particular, I don't thank you two for escorting me back to the village." Chen Ping took the chopsticks, personally set the bowl for the two of them, and said in a commanding tone, "Sit down, is it possible that I will take the chopsticks and feed you?" ”
"Sit down, don't be polite. My son was the county magistrate at the beginning, although he was an official, but he still had to rely on you and other county elders, he should be in charge of him, don't let him do the things that bend the law. Liu was also persuaded on the side.
"Don't dare, don't dare, Chen County Commander is a really capable person, and he is also kind, he is the county order, which is really a blessing for the people of Liuhe County." Liu Zhuangshi and the two sat down, their hearts were very warm, and they felt that Chen Fangcai's words were eager.
This county order not only loves the people, but also treats his subordinates kindly.
After eating, it was getting dark, Liu Zhuangshi and the two went to the wing room to rest, and Chen Ping's family sat around the hall and continued to talk.
"You made a county order, that is the emperor's grace, and you can't do that perverted thing." The oil lamp was lit, Chen Xiaoyi fiddled with the wick, and Chen Pingdao at the same table.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I know this, and there is no shortage of money at home, so I won't do those things." Chen Ping nodded.
"Yes." Chen Xiaoyi was silent for a moment, frowning, "There is something that shouldn't be told to you, but they are all villagers, sizzle......"
Chen Xiaoyi was a little embarrassed for a while, but he didn't finish speaking.
"Is it someone who wants to get a job?" This kind of thing is not difficult to guess, the relationship between people is like this, Chen Ping is not surprised, "It is really a capable person, it is not difficult to find him an errand in the county." Even if the county doesn't succeed, there are other ways, and the township and neighbors should help each other. Grandpa, should you get down? ”
"No, how can it be a random promise." Chen Xiaoyi shook his head, then poked his head out and asked, "Is there really a shortage of people in the county?" ”
"It's not just the county, it's also the side, but you have to have some skills." People come and go, Chen Ping is not afraid, getting close to the township is what Chen Ping has been doing, being able to plant some villagers around him, it is better to know the root than others, "In this way, after a few **** people will post notices outside the county office, if I really have a skill, I must be entered into the county." In the future, if someone from the village asks you about Grandpa, you can tell him directly. Well, it's better to be literate. ”
"They are all from the township, and they have no extra money and belongings, how can they be literate?" Chen Xiaoyi said.
"If you don't read, you can learn. Chen Shun, Chen Tian, and the guys in the inn were not all illiterate originally? Now I can write a few words. Chen Ping said, "I am planning to build a township and county school, and those who are illiterate can go in to study." ”
"It's time to be cautious." Liu wiped the table, listened to the words of the two masters, then sat down too, and asked tentatively, "Your uncle is literate, although he is idle all day long, he is not bad." Do you think you can get him an errand in the county? ”
"Mother, even if you don't mention it, I also want my uncle to help me." Chen Pingdao.
"Okay, I'll go find him tomorrow and ask him to find you in the county." Liu was quite happy to be able to find an errand for his younger brother and not embarrass his son.
"What's the need for you to go, mother, let Xia Liang ride a donkey over tomorrow morning and let me know." Chen Pingdao. (To be continued.) )
