Xu Hongda's back is tight, the county magistrate can be so considerate to the future lady, it can be seen that he loves his wife, if he knows that he is the same as other men, he is not considerate enough to his wife and sister, will he have an opinion on him?

Thinking like this, Xu Hongda couldn't lie down, and dressed on the kang.

When his feet landed, his body shook due to hangover, and he put on his shoes with the help of the kang.

When I went out, I saw Lin Xiangxing's mother and daughter sitting in the yard, peeling peanuts and talking. It seems that there is no one in the family anymore.

"Mother, where is the family?"

Shen Guihua said with a smile: "You all got up early and went to the field, and you are in a hurry to farm the land every day, and I left you food in the stove room." ”

Xu Hongda was a little embarrassed, everyone else went to the ground, and he was still sleeping alone, and he didn't know how Xiang Xingniang's family wanted to think about him.

I went to the stove room to open the lid of the pot, and I thought I would see a pot of leftover food from yesterday's banquet, but who knew that it was a pork belly stewed sauerkraut, a chicken stewed with mushrooms, and a few white flour steamed buns next to it.

He brought it out and put it on the table, and asked as he ate, "What about the rest of the meal from yesterday's banquet?" Don't have it hot? ”

Shen Guihua smiled, "Oh, there's nothing left, it's all poured into the swill tank, and now there is no shortage of food in every family, and there is no need to compete with pigs for food." ”

The corners of Xu Hongda's mouth twitched, thinking that a few days ago, when the neighbor married his daughter-in-law, his mother took his two sisters-in-law to the banquet, and when he came back, one of them filled a pot of folded dill in a pot, and the whole family ate it for two days.

At that time, Xiangxing didn't want to eat it, what did his mother and sister-in-law say?

His sister-in-law said, "Haven't you seen this good dish?" You are doing things in the countryside, are you a big pot of radish and cabbage? Two dishes can be set on a table? ”

His second sister-in-law said, "How can you use two dishes?" Maybe the cabbage and radish are stewed in one pot, and it can save the fire. ”

His mother said: "Don't just look stupid, you don't eat more, my eldest grandson will suffer in your stomach." ”

It's really panicked to think about it now.

Fortunately, the two mothers-in-law made a chicken stew for Xiangxing from time to time to drink, otherwise it would be really bitter for her.

But a chicken Xiangxing can only drink two bowls of soup and eat a few pieces of meat, and most of it still falls into the stomach of the Xu family, that's it, and he has to be complained of being stingy and only buying one chicken.

Compared with when he came to the Lin family, he left him such a good dish when he got up late, in the Xu family, in those days when Xiangxing was the most happy, the Xu family did not say that they were afraid that she would be hungry and leave her food to eat.

After eating, Xu Hongda asked Shen Guihua to find his father-in-law's old clothes and shoes, and after changing them, he inquired and went to Xiangxing's house.

Seeing that the whole family, even the old lady, was sowing seeds in the field, he also pulled his trouser leg and went to the ground and took the hoe in his father-in-law's hand.

Doing it, I saw that in the field of the neighbor's house not far away, the county magistrate was also dressed as a farmer waving a hoe, and he did it more decently than him, and endured the sore hands, Xu Hongda worked harder.

At noon, Xiuyu Xiuxiang and several nursing homes came over to deliver the meal, and the workers in Lin Xiaoman's field all went over to cook with their own bowls, and Xu Hongda saw that the entire land over there was actually the county lord's family.

When the farm was busy, many families in the village did not have time to cook, so Lin Daqiang found a few idlers to cook, and each family took grain and vegetables, and each household gave ten yuan a day to deliver the cooked meals to the land.

Although the taste of the dishes is not as fragrant as the county lord's house, there are meat and vegetables, and the food is still white rice, which is much better than Xu Hongda's family.

Lu Jin called Xu Hongda to go over and eat together, Xu Hongda came over with a big bowl, and the two sat under the tree while eating and chatting, and Xu Hongda was also added two spoonfuls of braised pork to the bowl by Lu Jin.

The smell of meat was so fragrant that Xu Hongda swallowed his saliva, but there was a county magistrate sitting next to him, and he ate in small bites like a hamster.

The people next to him laughed at him for being too cowardly, and he was still a scholar, and he was scared like a mouse and a cat when he saw the county order, like the people in their village, who was used to farming with the county order, who was scared of him like that?

Lin Xiaoman sat on the other side of Lu Jin wearing a hat, how do you see how Xu Hongda is not worthy of Xiangxing.

looks handsome, but this unpopular appearance is really unsightly.

"Xu Tongsheng, how many days will you stay with Xiangxing back to her parents' house this time?"

Xu Hongda listened to Lin Xiaoman's question, hurriedly put down the bowl, and arched his hand: "Back to the county lord, I was originally going back today, but when I saw that the Yue family was busy with farming, I thought about staying and helping for a few days." ”

Lin Xiaoman disagreed, "I heard Xiangxing say that when you were studying, there was no holiday in the academy, and you stayed to farm, not afraid of delaying your studies?" ”

"Huh?" Xu Hongda thought that Lin Xiaoman would praise him for his heart, but who knew that Lin Xiaoman felt that he was delaying his studies like this.

But he quickly said: "It's only a few days, and I can't delay." ”

Lin Xiaoman didn't say anything more, the farming was indeed only a few days, and he didn't feel that the delay might be confident.

Lu Jin said: "There are a few great Confucians in the village, if you have the heart to go further, I can help you introduce one or two, go to the fields and farm during the day, and get a few great Confucians to guide you at night, maybe it will be better than you used to study hard." ”

Xu Hongda hurriedly thanked him, and Lu Jin put down the finished dishes and chopsticks, got up and said, "You come with me." ”

Xu Hongda also hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks, and followed Lu Jin towards the west of the village.

Lin Dajiao and the hired people were busy working in the field, and the school was also taking a lunch break at this time, Xu Qiuliang was lying on the kang to take a nap after eating, and he was still a little impatient when he heard the knock on the door.

The villagers and the children in the school knew that he would take a nap when he came home at noon, and they would not come to him at this time, and the only one who could come to annoy people at this time was Lu Jin.

Xu Qiuliang turned over, wanting to pretend that he didn't hear it, but then he heard Lu Jin's voice from outside the hospital, "Old man, open the door, if you don't open the door, I'll kick it." ”

Xu Hongda didn't expect the county magistrate to be such a county magistrate, it's really ...... Insulting Sven.

Just as he was thinking about it, a heart-wrenching voice came from the courtyard: "Who is the old man called?" How old am I? ...... who don't know how to respect teachers"

The following words were said in a very soft voice, Xu Hongda vaguely sounded like the sixth child, but he was not sure.

The door opened, and inside was a man in his forties, who looked white and clean, like a scholar.

Lu Jin pushed Xu Hongda, "He is Lin Xiangxing's man, he wants to go to the ground during the day, and he comes to you to study at night." ”

Xu Qiuliang looked Xu Hongda up and down a few times, and said reluctantly: "Then come, I will repair one or two pieces of silver every month." ”

Lu Jin sighed: "Why didn't I find out that you love money so much before?" It's really a drop in the money. ”

Xu Qiuliang replied as a matter of course, "I'm a door-to-door son-in-law, so I can't just eat soft rice as a matter of course, right?" My lady farms hard to support her family, and I have to help her share one or two. Is a tael of silver too much? Once upon a time, when someone came to me with a thousand taels of gold and ten thousand taels of silver, I did not necessarily look down on them. ”
