"So how do you stand out here? Let's go into the hall and sit down. "At this time, beef is very rare, and the price of four or five catties of beef is not low, and it is not easy to buy it. Xue Fucai sent it, Chen Ping didn't push it often, and the family just borrowed this beef to replenish the body and increase nutrition.

Chen An is the best at coming to things, and as soon as he heard what his brother said, he immediately went over to help Xue Fucai carry beef.

"Brother Fucai, I'll help you get the beef in." Grabbing the hemp rope tied to the beef with both hands, Chen An said very politely, "Go in and sit, don't be polite, just treat this as your own home." ”

Seeing Chen Ping like this, Chen's father also got out of the way and invited Xue Fucai into the hall to sit down.

"Brother Fucai, drink water." Since that night, Chen's father visited the toilet frequently, Chen Ping's family is now always prepared with warm boiled water, Chen An put the beef, and poured a bowl of boiled water for Xue Fucai, "Warm water, quench your thirst." ”

This look is more attentive than to Father Chen, and the two green tendons on Father Chen's forehead on the side are agitated, and the hand on his knee is even more trembling.

"I went to the county government to deal with affairs that day, but I didn't pick you up, and I didn't remember it until the evening." Xue Fucai took a sip of warm water, moistened his throat, and said to Chen Ping apologetically, "Later, I was busy dealing with those wild goods, and I didn't have time to come out at this time." ”

"It doesn't matter." Chen Ping said, "The ox cart at the door is yours?" So quickly I bought another scalper. ”

"Well, I bought it in the county and city. I lost a lot of money, so I bought a young and strong ox, which was better than the old ox before. Xue Fucai said with a smile, cattle are assets, and if you have a cow, you will have a bottom in your heart, and you will have almost the same status as land.

The two were chatting, and Father Chen and Liu were listening, not understanding what was going on at all. Xue Fucai kept saying that his son had helped him a lot and wanted to send beef, which seemed to be true, but Father Chen didn't know anything about this.

"What's going on?" Chen Xiaoyi felt that he couldn't hear a reason after listening to it like this, so he simply asked.

"That day......" Xue Fucai told the events on the road that day, in detail, and kept thanking him as he spoke, "Thanks to Chen Ping, otherwise my trip would be all over, and maybe I would have to sell the house." This didn't mention some beef, but Uncle Chen refused to accept it. ”

Chen Xiaoyi's face stiffened and smiled, Chen Ping found this, and secretly exclaimed that it was bad, it must be that Grandpa heard the origin of the little madman, and his face was so bad.

Xue Fucai didn't sit for long, and chatted a few more words, to the effect that if there are ceramic utensils to buy at home in the future, just go to Shangtu Village to find him, which can be cheaper than the price on the market.

After Xue Fucai drove the ox cart away, Chen's father called out to Chen Ping, who was about to be discharged from the hospital, and was a little annoyed: "Something so big happened, why don't you say anything to me?" Do you know who those are? also with guards, where is this ordinary people. ”

I really don't take him as a grandfather in my eyes, and when the soldiers rush into the house one day to get people, how can it be good?

"You should have discussed this with us, you were too reckless." Liu Shi followed, "Are they embarrassed for you?" Are you injured? ”

"They weren't hurt, they lost their money and left." Chen Ping smiled and comforted, "Mother, I am measured, and I will definitely not come nonsense." ”

"Isn't this called nonsense? When did you have the courage to go to Tuhe first, and now you are fighting with those guards, maybe you will do something terrible in the future. Seeing that Chen Ping looked indifferent, Father Chen angrily copied a stick on the side of the wall and was about to hit him.

Liu hurriedly stopped and blocked in front of Chen Ping: "What are you doing here?" Son, this is helping people, and you don't listen to Xue Fucai? That's a good thing. ”

"A good thing? One day, the government will come to take someone, and see if you can still protect him. Father Chen gasped, didn't put down the stick in his hand, and pushed Liu, "You get out of the way, if you don't teach him a lesson today, this family won't know what will happen in the future." ”

"Grandpa, it's not that serious. The female rider is also from this Baitu Village, I just made a bet with her, she lost, so I will compensate for the loss, what kind of big deal can this be? "If you want to talk about misfortune, it will only be that little madman who is making trouble for himself, and since he chooses not to care, Chen Ping feels that Grandpa's worries are a little too much.

"What do you mean?" Chen Yuanliang and Chen Ping's words, Xue Fucai didn't hear it, so he only knew that the female rider with the guard was big, and he didn't know her origin, and he didn't say it just now, and Chen Xiaoyi was also unclear.

"That female rider is the daughter of Laihu'er, Laihu'er, Grandpa, you should know, right?" Chen Pingdao.

Lai Hu'er served as He Ruobi's spy in the battle of Pingchen, and was appointed as the governor of the capital, and after Chen was pacified, he was promoted to Shangkaifu. This is a very glorious thing in Baitu Village and ** County, and Chen Xiaoyi was also more than ten years old when he was in Pingchen, so he remembered these.

"Is it really the daughter of the father-in-law?" Chen's father admired Laihu'er very much, and respected Laigong.

"Of course, that little madman...... The sixth brother of the female rider called to come over, Grandpa, do you know? Chen Ping said.

Chen Xiaoyi threw away the stick in his hand and nodded: "I have heard that the Duke moved out of Baitu Village more than ten years ago, and most of the current Baitu Village is surnamed Chen, and the original surname is to Xiatu Village, which has a wide land. The lieutenant chief should be clearer, there are still people who follow the Duke in Xia Tu Village. ”

Hearing what Chen's father said, Chen Ping understood that the current Xiatu Village and Baitu Village were actually the same village during the Kaihuang period, and their place of residence was in the current place of Baitu Village.

It was only because of the increase in population later and the lack of land that some of the outflow came to Xiatu Village.

"That's supposed to be fine, they're all folks, and if you want to come there, you won't remember children playing around." Liu said on the side.

"Not necessarily, this matter needs to be talked to the chief tomorrow." Father Chen shook his head and said to Chen Ping, "You go to Xia Tu Village with me tomorrow." ”

"Okay." Chen Ping thought about it, nodded, and agreed, so that Grandpa could put his mind at ease, and it was not a big deal to go to see the chief, just so that he could ask about Qu Yuanli's situation.

It's been a few days, and even if it is reported to the state, it won't take so long, and the county shouldn't have replied without saying a word.

"Is it to be reported to Yang Guang?" Chen Ping estimated and touched, "But this county should also give some rewards, the effect of the Quyuan plow can be seen." ”

"Yes." Father Chen replied with a calm face.

"Ignore him, your grandfather is like this." Liu saw the pheasant in Chen Ping's hand and asked, "Where did you catch this?" ”

"**Caught in the mountains, I'll still cook tonight." Chen Andao.

If there is beef, this pheasant can be drunk as soup, and then cook some rice and stir-fry a plate of Chinese cabbage, which is quite hearty.

"I'll simmer the pheasant soup, and this beef will be up to you." Because of the regulations of the imperial court, beef is very rare, and it takes luck to wait until an accident or natural death of a cow, even if it encounters such a thing, Liu is reluctant to buy it, but Liu is still somewhat sure of pheasant soup.
