Chapter 195: Investigation
Didn't we just go back last time? Why are you going back again, is there something going on in the village? ”
Qian Fen was a little puzzled, it hadn't been long since the last time their family went back, and it stands to reason that Qian Qianqian would not suddenly return so diligently.
"It's the rice in the field that is the key time to grow, I don't worry about those villagers, so I have to go back to be more diligent, and I'll be back in a few days, don't worry."
Qian Qianqian squeezed out a smile from her face, she didn't make a noise about the rice, and only Bai Shi and Mu Tianyue knew about it, and she didn't plan to make a noise, even if she caught the troublemaker, she had to hide the matter.
"Well, everyone, don't worry, I will take good care of my younger siblings."
Qian Fen nodded sensibly, although there was still childishness on his face, but he looked like a little adult, and his eyebrows and eyes were still a little similar to Qian Qianqian.
Seeing Qian Fen away, Qian Qianqian packed a few pieces of clothes, and as soon as the agreed time came, she set off with Mu Tianyue and Zhao Ye.
"This time I go back to Qianjia Village, we can't solve the problem for a while, we have to find a place to live, there is no inn in that village, do you have a place to stay?"
Mu Tianyue deliberately looked at Qian Qianqian, in fact, Qian Qianqian also took into account this problem, the houses and small courtyards in Qian's village had long been occupied by the big house and the third room, and it was absolutely impossible for them to go back to live, so they had to find a convenient and safe place.
"It's better to live at Aunt Liu'er's house, Aunt Liu has a good relationship with me, and I will not refuse."
Qian Qianqian said very firmly, Aunt Liu and Liu Han are both pure-minded people, and taking them in is not in the way at all, but she just doesn't know that Mu Tianyue can't live like a rich son.
"Is that your childhood sweetheart?" Mu Tianyue's expression was subtle, and his eyes were full of unspeakable gossip.
Qian Qianqian raised her head and glanced at Mu Tianyue, it was all this time, and only Mu Tianyue had the leisure to joke with her, but she was not in the mood to respond.
"The conditions in the village are not as good as Lianzhou City, and Aunt Liu'er's family is not rich, so I don't know if Young Master Mu can get used to it?"
Qian Qianqian's words changed and led the conversation elsewhere, Mu Tianyue was obviously asking knowingly, so she didn't pay attention to it.
"You are prejudiced, everyone can't choose your background, but some things can't all depend on your background, take General Xiao as an example, he was born in the royal family, and he didn't live in a small village for a long time? As a friend of the general, I naturally bear some grievances. ”
Mu Tianyue looked arrogant, disapproving Qian Qianqian's words, and slowly shook the folding fan in his hand, a moon-white robe glowing with silver under the sun, and it looked like it was made of fine silk.
Qian Qianqian looked at Mu Tianyue's dress, and only felt ridicule in her heart, but at the same time, she wanted to see how much grievances Mu Tianyue could suffer.
Walking to Qianjia Village, Qian Qianqian went straight to Aunt Liu's house, and when she saw her coming, Aunt Liu and Liu Han were very excited.
"Qianqian, you haven't been here for a long time, come in and sit."
Aunt Liu held Qian Qianqian's hand, turned around and let Qian Qianqian inside, but when she saw the two men behind Qian Qianqian, the smile on her face suddenly froze for a moment.
"Who are these two?" Aunt Liu and Liu Han looked at each other, and they both muttered a little in their hearts, this Mu Tianyue and Zhao Ye looked a little familiar.
"These are my two friends, Mu Tianyue, and Zhao Ye, they came back with me for the sake of the rice fields, we have to stay in this village for a few days, but we have nowhere to stay right now, so can I stay here for a few days?"
Qian Qianqian explained unhurriedly, with a light smile on her face, Mu Tianyue was dressed luxuriously, and at first glance he was not an ordinary person, as for Zhao Ye, although he was dressed simply and roughly, he had an extraordinary temperament, and he was not a rural village man at first glance.
Aunt Liu came back to her senses, nodded one after another, and responded, resolving the embarrassment just now with a smile.
"I only have three rooms here, one room for me and Liu Han, Qianqian, you are your daughter's family, and the remaining room will be for you to live in, as for your two friends, you can only wronged them and squeezed Liu Han."
Aunt Liu took Qian Qianqian and her party to the back, with a little helplessness on her face, in fact, she also wanted to entertain Qian Qianqian and her party, but she couldn't help the conditions at home.
"These three big men are squeezed into one room, it's too ......"
Zhao Ye wanted to speak and stopped, his face was embarrassed, but Mu Tianyue's expression was calm, and there was no ripple in his eyes.
"If it really doesn't work, Qianqian, why don't you squeeze in with me and give that room to these two brothers?"
Aunt Liu pondered for a moment, and cautiously tentatively said, Aunt Liu's house Qian Qianqian knew that a cramped thatched house was stuffed to the brim, and everyone was crowded, and the two people were afraid that they would not even be able to turn around.
"Aunt Liu, I remember that you still have a firewood room here, it is better to vacate that firewood room and let them live."
Qian Qianqian laughed lightly and raised her eyebrows lightly, which reminded Aunt Liu, but Zhao Ye and Mu Tianyue couldn't hold their faces.
"Seeing that these two sons have extraordinary temperaments, and they are guests, let them live in the firewood room, isn't it appropriate, why don't you let Liu Han move to the firewood room and give the room to these two sons?"
Aunt Liu had an idea, but before Mu Tianyue could speak, she was rejected by Qian Qianqian.
"No need, Aunt Liu, don't look at my two friends dressed extraordinarily, in fact, they can endure hardships, you don't have to be too polite to them, just treat Brother Liu Han like you, say whatever you have to say."
Qian Qianqian's face did not change, and Aunt Liu nodded one after another, so that Mu Tianyue and Zhao Ye would only have the share of living in the firewood room.
Aunt Liu and Liu Han cleaned up the firewood room well, although they had done their best, but the firewood room was still tattered, with a musty smell, and the windows were half broken, and the air would definitely leak in at night, but fortunately, the weather is getting hotter now, and Mu Tianyue and Zhao Ye will not freeze if they squeeze it.
"There is only such a quilt at home, and the two sons have been wronged."
Aunt Liu went to bring the futon, Mu Tianyue just glanced at it, and her face became ugly, this futon is not as good as the lowest people in the Mu Mansion.
"Boss Mu, why are you stunned, why don't you thank Aunt Liu?"
Qian Qianqian stabbed Mu Tianyue with her elbow, her eyes were a little proud, as if she was watching a good show, Mu Tianyue glanced at her, and she didn't dare to attack, so she could only nod and accept.
"Thank you Aunt Liu, we live here, bothering you."
Mu Tianyue is a decent person, so even if he can't keep his face, he still tries his best to maintain his face, and he is very polite to Aunt Liu.
"What are you talking about, the family conditions are not good, just don't dislike it."
Aunt Liu is very humble, their crops are simple, although there are people like the Qian family's big house and three rooms, but there are still many good people.
"It's fine now, we want to go to the field to have a look, Aunt Liu, don't be busy."
Qian Qianqian looked out, the sun was in full bloom right now, and there must not be many villagers who would work in the fields, so they took this opportunity to take a good look at the rice fields.
"Okay, then I'll prepare dinner for you, and when you come back in the evening, you will come and eat with our mother and son."
Aunt Liu nodded, still as enthusiastic as ever, just looking at Mu Tianyue and Zhao Ye, Liu Han's face was not very good.
"Thank you then, let's go first." Qian Qianqian didn't refuse, turned around after speaking, strode out, and was about to step out of the courtyard gate, but Liu Han chased after her.
"Qian Qianqian, I'll go with you." Liu Han stood in front of Qian Qianqian, still with that simple appearance, his skin was tanned, but his eyes were exceptionally clear.
"No need, we've troubled you enough, you can stay at home with Aunt Liu, I'll go back."
Qian Qianqian deliberately kept her distance from Liu Han, although Xiao Mohan was not here at the moment, she didn't want to have anything to do with Liu Han.
Liu Han was a little disappointed, but he still stepped aside, and did not force Qian Qianqian, Mu Tianyue and Zhao Ye looked at each other, as if they had found something.
"No wonder the general was so relieved when he left, it seems that you are indeed a flower in this village."
Mu Tianyue waved away the folding fan and deliberately laughed like this, the smile on his face became more and more intense, and his eyes narrowed into a long line.
Qian Qianqian's face sank, and she couldn't help but turn her head and glance at Mu Tianyue, this man has never been in shape, although he looks like a dog, but he is still far behind Xiao Mohan.
"If you say such foolish things again, I will write to the general, saying that you are inferior to me, and when the time comes, I will see what the generals on the frontier will do to you."
Qian Qianqian snorted coldly, now only Xiao Mohan can restrain Mu Tianyue, Mu Tianyue's smile froze on his face, and he suddenly became angry.
"Before you become the general's wife, you have learned to put on a lady's shelf, if you really marry the general in the future, won't I even be able to speak?"
Mu Tianyue was indignant in his heart, but he was helpless, he knew Xiao Mohan and knew how important Qian Qianqian was in Xiao Mohan's heart, so he didn't dare to offend this big Buddha no matter what.
"No one can say for sure what will happen in the future, and I have always only focused on the present, so it is better to say less about this kind of joke in the future."
Qian Qianqian also did not show weakness, and unscrupulously used Xiao Mohan to suppress Mu Tianyue, in desperation, Mu Tianyue could only keep his mouth shut, and Zhao Ye didn't even dare to come out.
Walking to the field, Qian Qianqian leaned over slightly, reached out and twisted a handful of rice ears, and broke the rice husk, which was indeed empty, seeing that the rice was slowly turning yellow, and when the day of harvest, what they took away from the villagers was not satisfaction, but despair.
"All these paddy fields have been sprinkled with shell ash, which boils when exposed to water and burns the rhizomes, and if it weren't for the small amount of shell ash in the fertilizer, the rice would have withered."
Qian Qianqian explained one by one, her expression became solemn, not as relaxed as just now, Mu Tianyue also picked up a few ears of rice and looked left and right, and couldn't help but find some clues.
"I don't think it's just shell ash, these rice look at the green oil, there is no wilting at all, there must be something else mixed in the fertilizer, otherwise even if these rice can grow until now, I'm afraid they won't be able to grow so vigorously."
