Chapter XVII

Finally ate the rice, scrambled eggs with chili, Zhao Jiaojiao ate three bowls again, and finally drank a bowl of egg soup, no tomatoes, the egg soup was a little fishy. On the other hand, Li is as usual, there is no change, not like a person who eats rice for the first time. Zhao Jijiao was eager to lick the bowl clean, and Li Ruchang still had a few rice grains in the bowl, which made Zhao Jijiao wonder, but he didn't ask, after all, everyone has their own little secrets, and when they can say it, then he will naturally tell you, and when they can't say it, they will ask in vain, and maybe they will get a lie.

After eating, Zhao Jijiao was propped up and didn't want to move, so the bowl was washed by Li as usual, and the hot water was also boiled by Li as usual, and Zhao Jijiao sat in the yard, blowing a cool breeze, so comfortable. Fortunately, there is mosquito repellent grass at home, otherwise Zhao Jijiao would not dare to sit and lie in the yard like this.

By the time they had finished their showers and were lying in bed, the moon was almost in the middle. Tomorrow Japan is not going to go to Zhao Jijiao in the town, thinking that the Zhao family should go and buy them something to send over, so he told Li Ruchang to carry her tomorrow as usual.

Zhao Jijiao was thick-skinned, so she simply asked Li Ruchang to carry her to the town on her back, and didn't wake her up.

Early the next morning, Li Ruchang stood at the entrance of the village with Zhao Jijiao on his back and waited for Village Chief Zhao.

This village is called Xinghua Village in the town register, but the villagers love to call it Zhaojia Village, because almost all the villagers are surnamed Zhao. Over time, everyone is used to calling it Zhaojia Village, but they have forgotten the name Xinghua Village.

"Well, why are you still carrying a big girl."

Village Chief Zhao was only two steps slower than Li Ruchang, and he was a little surprised to see Zhao Jijiao on Li Ruchang's back.

"I'm not at ease with putting her at home. She is still young, and in case of danger, she has no ability to protect herself. ”

Li asked Village Chief Zhao as usual seriously. Actually, Zhao Jijiao didn't say it last night, he was also carried away by her, and now he finds that if he doesn't see her for a second, his heart is like pressing a big stone, and he can't do anything at ease.

"Young man, good job, uncle, I am optimistic about you, and it is also a good blessing for the eldest girl. She was a blessing in disguise. ”

Listening to Li Ruchang's words, Village Chief Zhao immediately gave Li Ruchang a thumbs up, patted him on the shoulder, and took the lead in the front.

If it is not a market day, there will be no ox cart to go to the town, but today I happened to meet the old man who was driving the ox cart and wanted to go to the town to buy some things, so the village chief Zhao and Li sat on the ox cart as usual and arrived in the town half an hour earlier than usual.

Zhao Sister-in-law slept sweetly, and Li Ruchang didn't know how to entertain Village Chief Zhao, so he simply asked Village Chief Zhao, and he replied.

When he arrived at the town gate, the officials hadn't gotten up yet, and then Li Ruchang remembered that Village Chief Zhao had gotten up so early with him, so he should have not eaten breakfast, and led Village Chief Zhao to find a noodle restaurant near the town gate for breakfast. At the checkout, I also bought three baked cakes for Zhao Jijiao.

When Zhao Jijiao woke up, she had already signed the deed at the town gate. The person who wanted to buy the fertile land did not come, and when he heard that he had already gone to another place, he had already entrusted the land to the village chief.

The town gate is a regional officialdom one level lower than the yamen, there is not even a yamen here, let alone a prefect, and the town is managed by a mayor who does not even have a grade, and everything in the town is managed by him.

After signing the deed and settling the silver, Zhao Jijiao, who was holding the title deed, suddenly felt that she was also a landed, and in this world, there was also a corner of her. That's right, the name of the landlord written on the title deed is Zhao Jiaojiao, which makes Village Chief Zhao very puzzled, and the Xiucai who handled the title deed was surprised. Generally, only large families will add land to their daughters' names, but it can be seen that Li Ruchang and Zhao Jijiao are neither like brothers and sisters, nor like rich families, why do they want to record the fields in the name of women? Although Xiucai was curious, it was not the first day he did this business, and he knew some secrets that could not be explained, so he naturally did not ask for it boringly, signed the title deed, collected the money, and didn't care about it anymore.

"Wow, I'll be a lander too! Hahaha, am I not powerful? ”

Zhao Jijiao walked and stared at the land deed, although she didn't know most of the words, but she knew the words "Zhao Jijiao" on it, and she still deliberately recognized Li as usual.

"My sister-in-law is the best."

Li said softly as usual, looking at Zhao Jijiao's eyes full of tenderness, but Village Chief Zhao, who was walking on the side, didn't expect that he was so old and had to be stuffed with a mouthful of dog food, and suddenly wanted to go home and turn the ground.

"Hehe, grandpa the village chief, will we go find the craftsman now?"

Zhao Jijiao didn't bother for too long, she knew how to accept it when she saw it, put the title deed close to her chest, and asked Village Chief Zhao.

"Well, if you finish it earlier, you can go back sooner. I haven't seen my little son in a while. ”

This Zhao village chief also learned a few words when he was young, and he also worked hard, supporting four sons and three daughters, not to mention, but also have the ability, the eldest son is a picker, the second son took the exam to show talent, and became a master in a private school, and the third son is the same as him, he is a good farmer, and the fourth son has some skins, after all, he is the youngest in the family, his eldest brother is fifteen years older than him, and not long after he was born, Zhao Village Chief also hugged his first grandson.

"Let's go quickly, then."

When Zhao Jijiao heard that Village Chief Zhao missed her son a little, she immediately took Li Ruchang's hand and followed Village Chief Zhao's steps. Because Zhao Jijiao is young and looks several years younger than her real age, she held Li Ruchang's hand, and others didn't think there was anything, after all, who would know that they were husband and wife? I don't know, I think they're father and daughter or brother and sister. Village Chief Zhao, the only one who knows, is bent on the youngest son he is about to meet, how can he still notice this. The two parties, Zhao Jijiao is accustomed to it, only Li Ruchang has a warm heart, the big hand is grabbed by a small hand, and the temperature of the two is transmitted to each other through the two hands.

When he arrived at the door of the craftsman's house, Village Chief Zhao stepped forward and knocked on the door, and it happened that it was his youngest son who opened the door.

"Dad, why are you here? It can't be that something happened at home, right? ”

This little son is also a jumper, and when he saw his own son, the first thing he said was to ask if there was an accident at home.

"You stinky boy, what's wrong with Dad coming to see you, Dad can't come to see you? Such an adult, what do you say, the family is fine, don't give me a stinky mouth and curse the family. ”

Village Chief Zhao looked like a strict father, but his words inadvertently still showed that he missed his youngest son. The youngest son is the youngest in the family, and he is also the most naughty, because he has caused him a lot of trouble, so he sent his thirteen-year-old son to learn the trade, and it is rare to see him several times a year.

The so-called youngest son and eldest grandson will always make people hurt a little more.

"What's the matter, it's too late for your son to be happy, dad, it's just that this is not the first time you have come back, so it doesn't scare me."

Fifteen-year-old Zhao Xiaowu looked honest, and when he smiled, his eyes were gone.
