Chen Gengnian is gone.
But everyone in Lijia Village was talking about him excitedly.
"It's true, I saw it with my own eyes at the time, and the second ancestor put his hand in-"
"Anyway, he just dragged it, and the cub came out!"
"Zhang Ahua's life is really good, the sow survived, and there were three cubs, which is prosperous."
"It's a pity, a few days ago, my pig died because of dystocia, and I knew that I would have asked for help from the second, no, I went to ask for help from the county master."
"The county magistrate even knows how to produce sows, and maybe he knows more ways to raise sows."
These days, meat is very expensive.
Even if many families are so poor that they can't open the pot, they still have to raise some livestock and sell them at a good price for the Chinese New Year.
However, due to the lack of knowledge of feeding technology and the reluctance to feed feed, the livestock are thin and often sick.
Chen Gengnian successfully delivered the sow, this incident is too shocking!
People realized that it was not the only way to wait for death for livestock to give birth.
It can also be saved!
Therefore, when I talked about this topic, in addition to the incredible, there was excitement and longing on my face.
If the sows will not die due to dystocia, can everyone rest assured that they will have a few more?
That's a lot of money!
The village that is lifeless on weekdays has rarely seen some vitality.
The official Li Quan, that is, the short man at the gate of the county government, was lucky to be granted a day off by the county master Chen Gengnian.
Because the old lady's foot was injured, Li Quan simply didn't go home and went directly to the field to hoe.
When he came back from a tired day, Li Quan was shocked to find that there were many people surrounded by the walls of his yard.
His wife, Zhang Ahua, washed an official uniform in the envious eyes of everyone.
While washing, he said: "Ouch, I know what the big guy means, but how dare I ask the county lord how to deliver the sow, I have to ask you yourself." β
Having said that, Zhang Ahua's expression was angry at the moment, and she deliberately shook the official uniform in her hand.
Someone's eyes were red and said sourly: "You have been washing for an hour, and you are not afraid of washing the official uniform of the county master!" β
The pigsty is not clean, and Chen Gengnian's official uniform is naturally dirty.
Zhang Ahua said something bad, so she asked the county magistrate to leave the official uniform and help clean it.
In the eyes of everyone, this is clearly Zhang Ahua climbing the high branches!
Before today, no one would envy it.
But today, everyone has seen with their own eyes that the county master has a good ability to deliver sows!
Everyone looked at the official uniform in Zhang Ahua's hand, and they couldn't wait to grab it, wash it well, and then use this to get close to the county master.
Previously, when they came to the county magistrate, they showed great disdain and mockery. I don't have the face to go to the county master to ask about raising sows.
It's all to blame for those lazy people who usually only chew the root of their tongues and don't work.
What a straw bale II ancestor!
The county lord is handsome, and he delivers the sows of Zhang Ahua's family regardless of the mess on a hot day, and he looks like a good official with thin skin and a warm heart!
"Mother, what's wrong?"
Li Quan was confused.
Seeing her son come back, Zhang Ahua didn't care about arguing with the people in the village, and immediately took the trouble to tell today's events again.
Li Quan's mouth opened wide after listening.
The second ancestor whose brain was kicked by a donkey helped his sow deliver the baby?
"Where have you been, dirty?"
After Zhang Ahua finished speaking, she noticed the ash on her son's body: "Take it off, just use the county master's clothes to wash you." β
There was a drought on the border, and some wells were dry.
Now everybody is strapped for water.
"The county magistrate gave me a day off, and I went to hoe."
Li Quan explained.
Zhang Ahua was excited when she heard it, and she didn't care about her son, and shouted proudly outside: "Did you hear it, the county master is really a good person, and he also took special care of our family Quan'er and gave him a day off." β
After hearing this, the people in Lijia Village became even more sour.
-
The other side.
After the matter in Lijia Village was resolved, Chen Gengnian and Zhao Qiang went home separately.
Jiang County, Chen's family.
As a local wealthy gentry family, the Chen family has a two-entry house, although it is only a tiled house, but it is already much more decent than others.
The yard is very clean and the furniture is complete.
There were also two faithful servants, and a rough maid.
In fact, if the old lady of the Chen family hadn't spent a lot of money before she died, she bought an official for her grandson.
The Chen family's life should be better now.
Chen Gengnian's reputation in the county is already poor.
After buying an official, he became the laughing stock of everyone, Chen Shen, the old man of the Chen family, and his wife Shao Furui, who were ridiculed and ridiculed as soon as they went out recently.
caused Chen Shen to often scold his son at home and asked him to resign quickly.
Today is a strange thing.
After Chen Shen came back, he rarely boasted to his wife: "This kid usually looks unreliable, but at the critical moment, he actually has a bit of my demeanor back then." He just got on his knees, and put his hand in......"
Shao Furui is a symbol of beauty, and her son's good looks are completely inherited from her.
After listening to her husband's words, she was distressed and proud: "We have grown up, and being an official is different." But this kid hasn't done heavy work at home, and the pigsty is so dirty, I immediately asked Ah Nian to prepare hot water. β
Chen Shen snorted coldly: "A loving mother is a loser, you are used to him-"
Shao Furui flew over with an eye knife, and Chen Shen suddenly stopped talking.
"Young Master Geng Nian is back!"
When it was almost evening, the voice of the maid Ah Nian came from the courtyard.
Chen Shen, who had been anxiously looking outside, immediately sat upright and straightened his body.
Chen Gengnian, who was wearing Zhang Ahua's son's clothes, walked in, saw the two people in the living room, and hesitated and shouted, "Dad, mother." β
Chen Shen snorted coldly and didn't agree.
But Shao Furui hurriedly said: "Don't come in, don't come in, it stinks to death, hurry up and go to the backyard to take a bath." β
ββ¦β¦β
Profound.
After spending so much time in the pigsty, you really need to take a good bath.
While taking a bath, Chen Gengnian observed the changes in the system.
In his mind, there was an extra [backpack] storage slot on the system panel.
Inside there are drawings of the curved plow.
As soon as Chen Gengnian's mind moved, the drawings appeared in his hands.
In the next second, the drawing returned to [Backpack].
However, the rest of the items cannot be put into the [Backpack], indicating that this is the system's exclusive storage space.
In addition to the backpack, there is also a [Wheel of Fortune] function on the system panel, which is currently gray.
It seems that it will not be opened until the main quest is completed.
The main quest is limited to four months.
In other words, at least in the next four months, Chen Gengnian can live well.
Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
However, in order to complete the phased main task of "increasing grain production by 30% in at least one village in Jiang County", it is still necessary to build the [Quyuan plow] as soon as possible.
After taking a bath, Chen Gengnian rushed to the living room in the front yard, and the family sat together for dinner.
Dinner looks very simple: wheat rice, steamed cakes, a dish of steamed eggplant, a small stack of pickled radish.
The northwest is dry all year round, suitable for growing wheat, and wheat rice is a coarse porridge cooked from simply hulled wheat.
The price of oil is too expensive, even if it is the Chen family, they will not stir-fry at night.
So the eggplant is steamed and sprinkled with a little bean sauce condiment.
But it's actually a good life.
Because in this era, many families do not eat at night, and eat more breakfast and lunch because they have to work.
Drink some wheat soup in the evening to fill your stomach.
The eggplant is old and tastes average, the wheat rice is a little stuck in the throat, and the pickled radish has no taste because the salt is not enough.
Chen Gengnian ate very painfully.
"Pampered! That's it, and you're still a county magistrateβ"
Chen Shen saw his son frowning and eating at the same time, and he didn't hold back and began to scold.
"I can't stop you from eating."
Shao Furui picked up a piece of radish and stuffed it into her husband's mouth, glared at him, and then said to her son: "Don't listen to your father's nonsense, he was still bragging about you delivering sows just now." β
Chen Shen was exposed, ate with his head bored, and vaguely denied: "I didn't say it." β
The wind was blowing in the courtyard, the oil lamp on the table shook slightly, and the light and shadow in the room trembled.
Chen Gengnian watched them talk to each other, and his heart was suddenly poked for a moment.
It turns out that this is what it feels like to have a father.
He was forced to cross over and occupy the body of his son, although he did not intend to, but he did feel guilty.
Then as compensation, he has to work hard to be a good son, replace the original owner, and support his father and mother.
"Dad, mother."
Thinking so in his heart, Chen Gengnian raised his head and said hesitantly: "I will try to do this county order well, so as not to embarrass you." β
Under the candlelight, the young man's eyes were dark and his expression was sincere.
Shao Furui's eyes suddenly turned red, and she turned her head to wipe her tears: "It's not a shame to do it badly, as long as we don't hoard people, we can be safe." β
Even Chen Shen rarely didn't scold anymore.
Chen Gengnian glanced at Chen Shen and said, "Dad, after eating, I want to ask you to help me sort out and analyze the current situation of the county government." β
When he woke up in the county government in the morning, except for the two officials, Chen Gengnian didn't see anyone.
This is clearly not normal.
Chen Shen looked at his son in surprise when he heard this.
In my impression, this is the first time that Chen Gengnian humbly asked himself for advice.
He coughed a little uncomfortably: "Okay." β
-
There are two richest households in Jiang County.
One is the Chen family, and the other is the Zheng family.
The lord of the Zheng family, Zheng Wenfeng, is the county leader of Jiang County.
In the past seven years, there was no county order in Jiang County, and all affairs were handled by Zheng Wenfeng, the county leader.
The Zheng family, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the soil emperor of Jiang County.
"Then the second ancestor, give birth to pigs?"
At this time, Zheng Wenfeng sat on the Taishi chair in his living room, looking stunned.
First kicked by a donkey, then went to deliver a pig.
What is the old Chen family?
"Yes, I heard from the people of Lijia Village. But Zheng Ye, don't worry, that kid can't make any waves. β
Lord Bo Xing Tieniu flattered: "Now the county government except for a few newly recruited hairy officials, the rest of the people are resigned at home according to your intentions. In a few days, when the grievances of the people of Jiang County are getting louder and louder, he will have to get out. β
Zheng Wenfeng was very satisfied when he heard this.
He has been a county magistrate in Jiang County for nearly 20 years, and he has fought for several county commanders, and he has long regarded Jiang County as his own territory.
How can Chen Gengnian be allowed to take office smoothly?
But now it seems that it is easy to clean up this straw bag second ancestor.
Zheng Wenfeng thought for a while, and said with a sneer: "Recently, everyone has been rushing to hoe the land to catch up with Xia Chong, it seems that many people are injured, let them go to the county government to find the second ancestor to cry." β
Xing Tieniu gave a thumbs up when he heard this: "It's still Zheng Ye recruiting high, and his subordinates will do it immediately!" β
