It's time for another stick of incense.

Qian Yong felt as if his arms had been filled with lead, and he couldn't lift up a little strength.

He was a martial artist, and he was young and strong, so he was supposed to be much stronger than the old man.

However, in farm work, he was no match for the old man.

At this moment, looking at the old man with the usual expression, there was a trace of trance in his eyes.

He couldn't understand why such a thin body could contain so much power.

"Why don't you two dolls sit here and sit under the shade of the tree."

At this time, the white-haired old man noticed Qian Yong and the two and spoke slowly.

That look, no matter what he faced, he seemed to be breezy and calm, not arrogant or impatient, and in Qian Yong's eyes, it actually made him feel that this old man was a master of the world.

But he knew it in his heart.

This old man is an ordinary farmer, without the slightest specialty, and he is not a master of the world.

The servants of Chang'an Mansion, who Qian never disdained, were all high-ranking "masters" in front of this old man.

is such a lowly person, but today it has brought him a lot of impact.

"This old man is really energetic!"

The young man who was born in a businessman looked at the old man working under the scorching sun and let out such an exclamation.

When Qian Yong heard this, he fell silent.

Before coming here, he had never been in contact with farmers and did not care about them.

How the peasants are doing has nothing to do with him.

Until yesterday, he still had that idea.

Since the Prime Minister asked him to work here, he came here to work.

After the autumn harvest, he will go back, stay for a year, and take the money and leave.

He didn't want to have any contact with anyone in the village.

But.

At this moment, his mind changed a little.

He took a lot of interest in the old man in front of him, who was full of vicissitudes.

He was curious, where did this old man's strength come from?

Time after that.

Qian Yong and his classmates sat in the shade of a tree, waiting quietly.

The white-haired old man in a vest was hoeing in the field alone, unfazed, as if such a small field was worth a whole day's time.

That being said, in less than half an hour, he was done.

Standing up, slightly bent over, looking at the two teenagers, a gentle smile appeared on their rough faces, and said, "The two dolls are hungry, go back to eat." ”

Qian Yong looked at the old man, wanted to say something, but didn't know how to speak, thought about it, or was silent, stood up, and followed behind him.

Not long after returning to his residence, Qian Yong saw Xiao Aning and Liu Bin carrying a large basket of grass and rushing back.

Judging from the faces of Liu Bin and another classmate, their task of mowing grass and feeding the sheep did not go very smoothly.

"Master, I'm back!"

The dark-skinned little Aning put the basket on the ground, rushed into the house, and told his grandfather about the interesting things he met along the way.

Which dog fought with which dog, where did you see a wild fox, and which river of fish came out of the river......

It's all some sporadic trivial matters, but Xiao Aning talks endlessly.

The old man's vicissitudes of life had a smile on his face, and he agreed from time to time.

The four teenagers sat in the courtyard, looking at their grandparents and grandchildren, with complicated expressions.

Especially Liu Bin, the son of the household servant who was born in a scholarly family, looked at Xiao Aning, his expression was in a trance, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"I really envy you, as long as you go out to mow the grass, Brother Qian and I almost died of exhaustion in the field today!"

The young man from the merchant family sighed and said.

As soon as the words fell.

The young man who followed Xiao Aning to mow the grass showed dissatisfaction, and said angrily:

"What nonsense are you talking about! It's as easy as mowing the lawn! ”

"Isn't it easy?"

"Nonsense! Of course! Don't believe me, let me ask you, do you know what grass sheep like to eat? What kind of grass can you eat? Which grasses can sheep cure diseases when eaten? Which grasses do sheep die if they eat them? ”

"I know what, I don't know, it's just a few sheep!"

"Just a few sheep? Did you know that there are three sheep in the whole village?

You are just hoeing weeds, and you will pull out some wheat seedlings if it's a big deal, but Brother Liu and I are shouldering the heavy responsibility of taking care of those three sheep! ”

"Do you know what it's like to hoe grass under the sun, and what it's like to be unable to open your eyes with sweat on your head? You are saying that today is broken, and mowing the grass is not as hard as hoeing! ”

"You fart!"

"You're a fart!"

It is the age of the flesh and blood.

The two chatted for a few words before arguing.

"Enough!"

At this time, Qian Yong frowned, and scolded angrily: "You can quarrel about big things, can you two have a little bit of fun?" ”

Qian Yong, as the head of the T-shaped class, speaks with weight.

The two of them snorted coldly and stopped talking.

At this time, Liu Bin didn't know what to figure out, and slowly said: "There are indeed some ordinary people who are hardworking enough, but their lives are still difficult, mainly because they don't know how to learn, and they don't want to change. ”

When Qian Yong heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Liu Bin.

Just in the morning, Liu Bin swore that the reason why the people were poor had nothing to do with the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, nor did it have anything to do with the gentry and power, but the root cause was that they were too lazy and stupid.

Unexpectedly, in just one day, he actually changed this view.

If nothing else, it should be that in the process of mowing the grass with Xiao Aning, I witnessed how the poor people worked, and realized how ridiculous the idea of the people was lazy.

"If these farmers are lazy, there will be no one in the world who is not lazy."

Qian Yong thought so in his heart, and saw Xiao Aning walking over with a cake.

"Brother, I'll give it to you."

After a day of getting along, in the face of Qian Yong and them, Xiao Aning was no longer as restrained as before.

"It's delicious."

Xiao Aning put the cake in front of the four of them and turned to leave.

Before returning to the house, I subconsciously glanced at the cake and swallowed my saliva.

Obviously, these cakes were excellent for her.

However, this scene did not attract the attention of the four teenagers.

They looked at the rough multigrain cake in front of them, and their brows furrowed.

The young man who was born in a businessman frowned together, picked up a piece of cake, looked at it twice, and said angrily: "Can this thing be eaten?" ”

"How do you know if you can eat if you don't eat it?"

Liu Bin said, picked up the cake and took a bite.

The rough taste made him frown involuntarily.

People who are used to eating refined grains, where can they eat this.

He endured it so that he didn't spit out the bread in his mouth.

As a good businessman, the most important thing is that no matter what you have, you can't just throw it away when you get it, and the same goes for food.

Besides, in this place, even if you can have a bite to eat, what can you ask for?

Qian Yong noticed Liu Bin's expression, and his heart sank.

After hesitating for a few breaths, he still picked up the cake and ate it in small bites.

He is like a general, and the environment on the battlefield is extremely harsh, and sometimes he may not be able to eat for several days.

What's the point of eating some hard-to-swallow bread at this moment?

Seeing that Qian Yong and Liu Bin had started eating, the other two teenagers hesitated for a moment, and then picked up the cake and nibbled on it.

"Phew!"

With just one bite, the young man from a businessman frowned and spit it out.

"This bread is rougher than a stone, how can you eat it!"

The boy smashed the cake on the table and said angrily.

When the other three heard this, they were all silent.

Seeing this, a nameless fire inexplicably rose in the young man's chest, and he gritted his teeth and said: "We have worked all morning, just give us this little food, even if we are subordinates, we can't do this to us!" ”

With that, he stood up and strode towards the room.

As he walked, he said angrily: "I want to see what they eat for us with this kind of thing!" ”

When Qian Yong and the others saw this scene, they glanced at each other, and they all took the cake and followed.

in the house.

The white-haired old man and Xiao Aning sat on a wooden bench, holding a porcelain bowl in their hands, and they didn't know what it contained.

"Good! Give us this kind of food, and you hide yourselves and eat it! ”

The young man looked at the two ancestors and grandchildren in front of him, his eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Young Master Ben told you that from now on, you will have to give Young Master Ben what you eat, if you dare to fool Young Master Ben with this kind of cake again, Young Master Ben will turn his face with you!" ”

Xiao Aning held the porcelain bowl, not knowing what was happening, her rough face showed a look of fear, and tears slipped down her cheeks.

After a while, the tears became more and more.

She could no longer restrain the fear in her heart and cried loudly.

The white-haired old man on the side looked at the young man with a complicated expression, just silent.

Seeing this, the young man was even more annoyed in his heart, and said: "Young Master Ben hasn't done so much work since he was a child, and as a result, he can't even get a bowl of white noodles back, I said old man, you are too much!" ”

As he spoke, he walked up to the old man and reached out to grab his porcelain bowl.

The old man did not resist, and let him snatch the porcelain bowl away.

A few breaths later.

I saw the contents of the porcelain bowl.

The young man froze in place, and then, his face turned red.

When Qian Yong and the others saw this scene, they all leaned over, and then they saw the contents of the bowl.

It's some wild vegetables that can't be named, and the clear soup is not watery, and there is not even a little corn.

Xiao Aning's cries echoed in the room, making the faces of the four teenagers hot.

Although they have been clothed and fed since childhood, they also know how good food is compared with wild vegetables.

Even coarse grains that are difficult to swallow are much stronger than wild vegetables!

Speaking of which, the work that the four of them did today may not be as good as the old man and Xiao Aning together.

However, the grandparents left the food for them and hid in the house to eat wild vegetables.

In this way, they are not satisfied, and they still think that people are hiding and eating good, leaving them with bad things.

Spending the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain is nothing more than that, and even more than that!

This moment.

The four teenagers wished there was a hole in the ground so they could get in.

Embarrassment, embarrassment, shame...... Multiple emotions mingled and left them in deep silence.

I don't know how long it took.

The voice of an old man rang out in the room.

"There's still a little white flour on the stove, I'm afraid it's not enough for you four dolls to eat."

"I ......"

The young man who was originally violent, and wanted to ask the teacher for sin, was at a loss when he heard this.

Although he was domineering, he was not stupid, and when he saw the scene of his grandparents eating wild vegetables, he immediately realized how precious the white noodles on the stove were to his grandparents and grandchildren.

I'm afraid they plan to keep it for the New Year.

If he eats it, is he still human?

"I don't eat it, I want to eat it from your bowl."

The boy hesitated for a few moments and spoke.

Seeing that the young man was no longer angry, Xiao Aning's emotions calmed down, and he just sobbed from time to time.

"I can't get used to eating this cake, Xiao Aning, you eat it."

The young man handed the cake in his hand to Xiao Aning.

Xiao Aning subconsciously stretched out his hand to take it, but he didn't know what he thought, so he stopped again and turned his head to look at the old man.

Seeing that the old man nodded, she reached out to take the cake and took a bite carefully, her dark face showing a touch of joy.

Obviously, for her, the cakes that the teenagers dislike are a rare delicacy.

After taking two small bites, Xiao Aning seemed to think of something, raised the cake in his hand to the old man's mouth, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Master, you eat!" ”

"If you don't eat it, you can eat it."

The old man waved his hand.

Xiao Aning didn't follow him, pestering him to bite twice.

The old man took two bites, and then she carefully held the cake and ate it one bite at a time.

When the teenagers saw this scene, they fell silent again.

Liu Bin, who had to weigh the pros and cons of everything, hesitated for a moment, put the cake that he had only bitten into twice, put it on the table, and said, "I can't get used to eating this cake either, I'll go out to dig vegetables and eat it." ”

With that, he walked out of the house.

Seeing this, Qian Yong and another teenager also put down the cake and turned to leave.

When the white-haired old man saw this, he wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth, he saw the boys leave the house.

The teenagers left the house, and no one spoke, and no one mentioned what had just happened.

I worked hard all morning, and I didn't eat for a day.

A strong burning sensation welled up in their stomachs.

This moment.

Only then did they realize that the food that they didn't care about at all on weekdays was so precious and so rare!

"Let's go out and dig some wild vegetables to eat."

Someone suggested.

Liu Bin nodded and said, "Okay, by the way, let's see if we can catch the hare, roast it and eat it." ”

It is rare that the four teenagers reached a consensus on the same matter.

They strode out of the house and searched for wild vegetables in the countryside with the knowledge that Little Aning had given them in the morning.

Minutes and seconds passed.

I don't know how long it took.

They finally scraped together some wild vegetables and cooked them.

The taste is even more difficult to swallow than the previous cake.

Before that, they couldn't even imagine that there was such a bad thing in the world!

And.

Wild vegetables don't go hungry at all.

No matter how much you eat, there is still a burning sensation in your stomach that is difficult to get rid of.

But.

Let them go and eat the bread again, and they will be embarrassed.

I had to force myself to sleep.

"Sleep, you won't be hungry when you fall asleep."

The teenagers thought so and lay down on their beds.

Intense hunger makes it difficult for them to sleep.

I don't know how long it took before I felt a little sleepy.

By the time I fell asleep, it was already the second half of the night.

Following.

When the teenagers opened their eyes, the first question they had to face was......

The soreness that swept over the whole body.
