Chi Hang looked at the little girl's hesitant appearance, and didn't speak, just sat there, putting all the wraps on top of the cloth bag.

"This rabbit is so good-looking." The little girl said to the people around her, "This little fox is also good-looking, just like the real thing." โ€

The little girl next to her listened to what the little girl said, holding a little pig's string in her hand, and whispered, "This is also beautiful." โ€

Gradually, there were more and more little girls around Chi Hang.

Chi Hang was not in a hurry, except for shouting loudly at the beginning, he didn't speak at any other time, just stared at these lines carefully.

"This big brother," the little girl in the green dress raised her eyes to Chi Hang and whispered, "Can it be cheaper, if I buy two." โ€

Chi Hang glanced at the little girl hesitantly, and Huang Zuo couldn't bear to open his mouth and said, "That's it, one fifteen wen, two will be twenty-five wen, it's really not too low, this line is a lot." โ€

"That's it." The little girl neatly took out twenty-six copper plates from the money bag, handed them to Chi Hang, and bought the two she liked.

The people next to him listened to Chi Hang say that it was cheaper to buy two, even if it was a little girl she didn't know, one person bought one, and it just made up two, and the two of them would split the money evenly when the time came.

There are too many little girls coming, Chi Hang only cares about collecting money, waiting for it to be sold, as soon as Chi Hang raised his eyes, he saw that there were still many little girls standing there with empty hands and sullen hands.

Chi Hang packed up his things, took out a tael of silver to buy thread, and the rest of the money bought some pastries and a little meat, and then went home.

Xu was because everyone in the family was with her, quietly, Lin Guyu couldn't help but panic.

Throwing the rag aside, Lin Guyu walked towards the side of the courtyard, looked around, and didn't see Chi Hang come back.

After feeding the chickens, ducks, geese and rabbits, Lin Guyu returned to the front yard, still did not see Chi Hang's figure coming back, and felt a little uncomfortable.

Zhao was originally sitting in the courtyard washing clothes, and when he saw Lin Guyu's depressed appearance, he put his hands in a clean wooden basin and washed them, and walked towards Lin Guyu's side.

"Gu Yu, what are you doing?" Zhao looked at Lin Guyu's tense face, and asked with some concern, "Quarreled?" โ€

"Nope." Lin Guyu smiled and shook his head.

"Looking at your absent-mindedness, I thought the two of you had a fight!" Zhao Shi breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly, "I'm at home alone, what about Chi Hang?" โ€

"Went to town and brought me something." Lin Guyu lowered his head.

It's strange to say, when Chi Hang was there, even if the two of them didn't speak, Lin Guyu felt comfortable in his heart and didn't feel panicked.

"Men should go out and work." Zhao said solemnly, "You can't keep Chi Hang by your side for the rest of your life." โ€

What Lin Guyu thought in his heart, the Zhao family knew clearly.

It was precisely because he saw it too clearly that Zhao's heart became more and more uncomfortable.

"Brother Chi Hang is back." Lin Guyu looked at Chi Hang, who was walking towards this side not far away, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked.

Looking at Lin Guyu's line of sight, Zhao looked at Lin Guyu's smiling face, and his heart was even more worried.

"Mother-in-law." When Chi Hang came in, he shouted respectfully.

"I saw that Gu Yu had been waiting for you, so I came over to talk, since you are back, I will go back first." Zhao said, turning to leave.

Lin Guyu sent Zhao away with a smile, raised his eyes to look at Chi Hang, and said with some concern, "Why did you come back so late, but what happened on the way?" โ€

"It's okay, when I went today, it happened to be a fair, and I saw that there were a lot of people buying things, so I set up a stall to sell them directly." Chi Hang said, walked to the side of the wooden basin, washed his hands, wiped it clean, and then helped Lin Guyu to walk towards the house.

Chi Hang sat on a small stool next to the bed and took out all the newly bought threads in the cloth bag.

Lin Guyu looked at so many threads, looked at Chi Hang with some surprise, and asked worriedly, "Do you have any money after buying so many threads?" โ€

"I am fifteen yuan for one, twenty-six yuan for two, many people think it is cheap to buy two, and many people come to buy it." Chi Hang said, handing Lin Guyu the pastries he bought for Lin Guyu and bean paste below.

Lin Guyu carefully opened the oil paper, looked at the soft pastries inside, and said with a smile, "Is this expensive?" โ€

"It's not expensive." Chi Hang also took out the meat and hung it on the wall beside him, "I wanted to buy more, but the rest of the money was used to buy meat." โ€

As soon as he turned his head, Chi Hang bumped into something soft on his mouth.

Ji Hang pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.

Chi Hang's body retreated slightly, and when there was nothing on his mouth, he said, "I don't eat, you can just eat." โ€

"If you don't eat it, I won't eat it." Lin Guyu stubbornly sent the pastry in his hand to Chi Hang's mouth.

Chi Hang frowned slightly, looked at Lin Guyu's stubborn and deflated mouth, and couldn't help but say, "Just one." โ€

The corners of Lin Guyu's mouth hooked up at this time, and he walked towards Chi Hang, and sent the pastry in his hand to Chi Hang's mouth.

Seeing that Chi Hang finished eating, Lin Guyu sat on the edge of the bed and took out one to eat.

Picking up the rest of the pastries with an oiled paper cloth, Lin Guyu put them away, "I'll eat them when the bean paste comes back." โ€

Chi Hang looked at the rows of arrows on the edge of the wall, frowned slightly, if possible, he wanted to go hunting in the mountains.

Seeing that Lin Guyu was busy making connections, Chi Hang walked outside and turned the ground in the courtyard a little.

Estimating that the time was up, Chi Hang washed his hands and walked inside, "Gu Yu, you start cooking, I'll go pick up the bean paste and come back, it's getting dark." โ€

"Done." As soon as Lin Guyu looked up, he noticed that it was already dark.

Early the next morning, when the rain rose in Ringu, he heard the sound of gongs beating outside, which was the sound of gathering.

Lin Guyu hurriedly washed it and followed Chi Hang towards the outside.

When he got outside, he saw a lot of people gathered in the middle of the field, and Lin Guyu saw Chi Ye standing on a high platform from a distance.

Ikeye is back.

Lin Guyu suddenly heard what Wang Xiaoqian said, and frowned slightly.

"Everyone, be quiet!" The village chief said to everyone, waiting for the sound around him to be less, and then nodded to Chi Ye, "County master, you say." โ€

"Thank you." Chi Ye said softly to the village chief.

The village chief stood by with a smile on his face, hunched over, one hand behind his back, and the other hand in front of him holding a cane.

"Since that heavy rain, the village has been flooded," Chi Ye said indifferently, his eyes swept over everyone's bodies, "I know that everyone feels very sorry for your land, and now, we have found some people, and they are all good at opening mountains." โ€

Hearing this, Lin Guyu couldn't help but be happy in his heart, this means that they have hope to go home?

"They can help us open the mountain, and if we have some more labor, in less than a month, we will be able to break a hole, and when the water is dry, we can all go home."

Everyone listened to Chi Ye say this, and they were all excited.

"But," Chi Ye made a static gesture to everyone, and then said slowly, "I don't have a salary, so I don't care about a noon meal." โ€

Hearing Chi Ye say this, the people below were a little unhappy.

No money, only one meal, how can this be?

"There is everyone's field there," Chi Ye frowned, looked at everyone like this, and said sharply, "There are also everyone's ancestral graves, don't you want to go home, the imperial court has sent so much grain for you, and there will be a batch after the year, which is enough for everyone to eat until the summer, don't you want to start farming next spring, and you don't have to pay taxes next year, the harvest is your own." โ€

Hearing Chi Ye say this, everyone stopped talking one by one.

"You don't have to worry, it's all voluntary." Chi Ye looked at everyone with a cold face, "This is the end of the matter, if you want to go home early, you will gather at the bottom of the mountain tomorrow." โ€

When he had said that, the crowd dispersed.

Zhou looked at Chi Ye with a happy face, waited for Chi Ye to come down from the stage, and walked in front of Zhou, "Mother, this kind of work, our family has to have someone, otherwise there will be no one to work." โ€

"That's nature." Zhou listened to Chi Ye's sincere words, and the expression on his face became even more joyful, "When the time comes, your eldest brother and your third brother will go." โ€

"I'm not going." Chi Hang grimaced, and then said, "I have something else. โ€

Originally, when Zhou saw that he was the son of the county lord, he was happy, but all this joy disappeared at this moment.

"What can you do, follow your daughter-in-law all day long," Zhou said, looking at Chi Hang with his hands on his chest, and said angrily, "I tell you, it's the right thing to work honestly." โ€

His eyes fell on Lin Guyu's body, and the expression on Zhou's face froze.

"The third brother has other things to do." Chi Ye looked at the tense appearance and said, "After all, so many people eat, I thought, let the third brother help hunt and see if I can get some meat." โ€

"That's done." Zhou responded with a smile, and now what Chi Ye says, Zhou agrees.

Zhou directly grabbed Chi Ye's arm and walked towards home, babbling, "You don't know, your second brother was injured a few days ago, otherwise I would ...... too."

"Third sister-in-law." A familiar female voice sounded behind Lin Guyu.

Turning his head to look at the man, when he saw Wang Xiaoqian, he shrugged helplessly and shook his head gently, "I may not be able to help." โ€

"It's okay," Wang Xiaoqian looked at the back of Chi Ye leaving, and said softly, "Can I go to your house to play for a while, ...... like that?"

Lin Guyu looked at Wang Xiaoqian's appearance and nodded helplessly.
