Fang Daping nodded, and suddenly said, "You say, if this is a new county order, and it has the same virtue as the previous Lin Si, then what should I do?" After speaking, he and Qi Xiang both turned their heads to look at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu said: "I hope the new official is not like that." He couldn't help but think, "You two guys, what are you doing with me?" ”

"It's hard to say, I can see through it, no matter who is in charge, I never care about the life or death of our people." Fang Daping is the village head, at least the former village head, and he actually said such a sentence.

"Alas, people, you still have to rely on yourself, don't keep thinking about how to make a good official one day and lead our people to live a good life."

Qi Xiang's words are very reasonable, and Lu Yu deeply agrees.

Lu Yu didn't cook at night, so he spread a few corn tortillas, thinking that if the two of them were hungry, they could fill their stomachs. However, none of the three of them ate, and in the end, Qi Xiang took the tortillas back, and her mother-in-law may not have eaten at home.

The next morning, Lu Yu drove the goat up the mountain to eat enough, and then went to Jinhua City with the meat.

first went to Lao Gao's sister's house, and then went to Yan's house.

The atmosphere of the Yan family seems to be a little wrong today, Yan Jibai sat on the chair with unsubsided anger on his face, Yan Xiding stood still, and his face was also unhappy, and Xi An and Lan Shaofang were both on the side, silent. Lu Yu didn't see Mrs. Yan.

Several people didn't speak, Lu Yu came in suddenly, and when he saw the few people who were silent and didn't speak, he felt a little at a loss, and he didn't know whether to put the mutton down.

No one paid attention to Lu Yu, Lu Yu stood stupidly for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to speak: "What's wrong?" ”

Except for Yan Xi'an, no one else looked at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu smiled awkwardly, and said, "I got a sheep yesterday and brought some meat over." After a pause, he said, "It's a wild sheep, not a family that killed it." ”

This time, someone paid attention to Lu Yu, Yan Xi'an said: "My mother is in the kitchen, you can take the meat to the kitchen." ”

"Oh." Lu Yu picked up the meat and went to the kitchen as if he had fled.

In the kitchen, Mrs. Yan was also sitting on a stool, dazed.

Seeing Lu Yu come in, Mrs. Yan came back to her senses and stood up. Lu Yu said, "Auntie, what's wrong with my uncle?" ”

"There was a quarrel, alas."

"Quarrelsome? And Xiding? Lu Yu was a little surprised, but not too surprised, he felt that Yan Xiding seemed to be a little different recently.

Mrs. Yan said: "It's not who else can he be, the stinky boy is becoming more and more disobedient, and his temper is still very big." ”

Lu Yu understands a little, Yan Xiding is already fifteen years old, which is the most unruly age for boys. He remembered that when Lu Ming was fifteen years old, he often quarreled with himself and his father. As for Lu Yu himself, just like when he was not arrogant as a teenager, Lu Yu at the age of fifteen or sixteen was the age when he felt the hardest.

Lu Yu asked, "Because of what?" ”

"What could it be? It was when I asked him to sweep the floor, but he didn't want to, and yelled at me a few times, but his father couldn't see it and scolded him a few words. ”

Lu Yu persuaded: "Hehe, the boy has grown up, there must be such a time, don't be angry with the two of you." ”

"Don't be angry, you just have to be careful, no one in this family dares to talk to him loudly."

Lu Yu didn't know what to say.

Mrs. Yan looked at the mutton that Lu Yu brought over and asked him, "The sheep at home were killed?" Is it too busy for no one to herd the sheep? ”

"No, the sheep I hunted in the mountains yesterday, and I divided some of them, and there is still this left."

"Oh." Mrs. Yan nodded, and suddenly said, "Lu Yu, why don't you let Xiding go to your house and help you herd the sheep for a few days." ”

Lu Yu felt that this idea seemed feasible, but he still asked, "Is Xi Ding willing to go?" ”

"If you don't want to, you have to be willing, otherwise he will stay home and quarrel with us every day, and he will not be able to scare people to death." Mrs. Yan said, "In this case, you have lunch here, and when you go back in the afternoon, you will take him away." ”

Lu Yu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll talk to him later." ”

Lu Yu went to the living room of the Yan family again, Yan Xiding was no longer there, and returned to his room.

Yan Jibai spoke to Lu Yu at this time, and he said lightly: "Let's eat here at noon." ”

"Hmm." In the face of Yan Jibai, Lu Yu didn't know what to say, but it was better to be at ease in the face of Mrs. Yan, he searched his intestines, and finally came up with a topic, saying: "Another ewe in the family seems to be pregnant." After saying that, Lu Yu felt that he was too stupid, what was there to say about this kind of thing.

"That's good." After a pause, he said in vain: "That's it, let Xiding go to the village and help you herd sheep for a few days." Yan Jibai's thoughts coincided with his wife's.

"It's okay, I'm afraid he won't want to." Lu Yu glanced at Lan Shaofang, thinking that if Lan Shaofang was willing to go, Yan Xi would definitely go.

"I can't help him, I don't do anything at home every day, and I don't read books." Yan Yubai raised his shelf and momentum as a father again.

Yan Xiding also heard his father's voice in the house, and he shouted: "Go and go, I don't want to stay at home anyway." ”

So Yan Xi was going to Yangshan Village to help Lu Yu herd the sheep, so it was decided so unhappily. What made Yan Xiding even more unhappy was that Lan Shaofang refused to go to the village, saying that he wanted to accompany Lan Shaofang at home.

After lunch, Lu Yu took Yan Xiding to find Lao Gao, and he decided to walk to Yangshan Village in the afternoon.

went to Lao Gao's sister's house, Lao Gao saw Yan Xiding and said with a smile: "Xiding, how long have you been back?" How did I grow a lot taller. ”

Hearing Lao Gao say this, Lu Yu also looked at Yan Xiding carefully, and then said, "It seems that he has grown taller." He ran to Yan's house five miles away from the mountain, and he didn't notice the subtle changes in Yan Xiding's figure enough.

Yan Xiding lowered his head, sullen, and didn't say a word.

In the first half of the way back, Yan Xiding still didn't say a word, and when he was almost halfway there, he couldn't walk anymore, and finally complained: "Brother Da Yu, why don't you get an ox cart over." ”

Lu Yu said: "My family has no cattle and no car, so I can't borrow an ox cart from someone just because you want to come." ”

"Well, my feet are blistered."

Lao Gao smiled and said, "Xiding, you have to walk around, you have to get used to it." ”

Yan Xiding shook his head: "Forget it, I'm not used to walking so far." ”

"Where are you not used to walking? Who made your sister take a fancy to Da Yu, and she won't have to run to her brother-in-law's house more in the future. Lao Gao joked about the two of them at the same time.

"Well, won't the two of them move to the city?" Lu Yu remembered that not long ago, Yan Xiding wanted to persuade his parents to move to Yangshan Village, but it was only a long time before he changed his mind.

"That's not good, if Da Yu moves away, our whole village won't agree."

Lao Gao was joking, but Yan Xiding was very serious, he said: "What if your villagers don't agree, Brother Da Yu is not the son-in-law of your village." ”

Lao Gao was choked by Yan Xiding, a little embarrassed, laughed dryly, and said: "This kid has grown up." ”

The three of them walked from Jinhua City to Yangshan Village until it was almost dark before returning to Yangshan Village. Lu Yu's six sheep were not herded in the afternoon, and they were all bleating hungry in the pen.

Lu Yu felt a little sorry for the sheep, and originally wanted to go out to herd the sheep, but Yan Xiding had been gone for an afternoon, and he was also tired and hungry, so he could only quietly bring the goats into Anding Valley, and then come back to cook for Yan Xiding.

Spring is the season when big fish spawn and fry grow, unless someone particularly wants to eat fish, otherwise Lu Yu will not move those fish in the mountains.

So Lu Yu thought about getting some pheasants and rabbits on the way back, and make them for Yanxi to eat. If you want to find Lu Yu, he can find it, not only caught a pheasant, but also found the pheasant's nest, as well as a few eggs in the chicken nest.

Speaking of which, Lu Yu hadn't eaten eggs for a long time, and since the terrible chicken plague four years ago, Lu Yu hadn't seen eggs again. They hunted so many times, although they often caught pheasants, but wild eggs were the first time Lu Yu had seen them.

Knowing that he could eat eggs at night, Yan Xiding's depressed mood finally relaxed, and he said to Lu Yu that he wanted to eat scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, and poached eggs.

Lu Yu counted, there were eight eggs in total, he planned to fry and fry two each, and keep the remaining two to see if he could hatch chicks.

Lu Yu thought to himself, even if the wild egg hatches out of the chick, it is still a pheasant, and the pheasant can fly, can he raise it?

However, Lu Yu soon thought that even if he couldn't keep pheasants in his backyard, Anding Valley could always throw them into Anding Valley when they came out of their shells and before they could fly. Lu Yu felt that even if the pheasants could fly again, they would not be able to fly out of the high mountains around Anding Valley, they were chickens and not birds after all.

Dinner was only made for one person, and it didn't matter if Lu Yu ate it by himself or not.

The chili peppers in the backyard have only grown a little, and they are all the tips of chili peppers the size of a small thumb, and stir-frying is definitely not good, so Lu Yu cut a handful of leeks and made scrambled eggs with leeks for Yanxi. Lu Yu is not good at fried poached eggs, not to mention the strange shape of the poached eggs he fried, the egg yolk and white are mixed together, and there is also one side that is burnt.

It's much easier to boil eggs, when the water is about to boil, throw the eggs in, and when the water boils, they will be cooked quickly. Before throwing the eggs into the water, Lu Yu sprinkled a small spoonful of salt, so that the boiled eggs would not break the shell, and they would be easy to peel. This technique was taught to him by Lu Yu's mother before.

Yan Xiding likes to eat eggs, he likes to eat them very much, and his love for eggs seems to exceed that of sweet potatoes and fish.

Six eggs were scrambled, fried and boiled, but there weren't many, a tortilla hadn't been eaten yet, and the leek scrambled eggs and poached eggs were all eaten by Yan Xiding.

Yan Xi was satisfied, and then remembered that Lu Yu hadn't eaten yet, so he asked him, "Brother Da Yu, why don't you eat?" ”

"I'm not hungry, I don't need to eat." Lu Yu said: "The vegetables are gone, I'll fry you another green vegetable or something, right?" ”

"No need, I'll just drink water and eat bread." Yan Xiding ate dry corn tortillas, and suddenly said, "Alas, my sister hasn't eaten eggs for a long time." ”

"yes. Next time, I'm going to pick up wild eggs again and send a few to your family. Lu Yu looked at Yan Xiding and thought, "Although this kid has a bad temper recently, he still thinks about his family in his heart." ”

But then Lu Yu heard Yan Xiding say: "Forget it, don't give it to them, let's eat it, they are not good." ”
