Dressed as a farmer's little blessing, the road to escape the deserted

After being away from home for a month, Li Laosi and the two boys were eager to return home. The carriage traveled on a large road, which was safe and flat, so they only rested for two hours at night.

The rest of the time they were on their way.

Jiayin slept when she was sleepy and ate when she was hungry, but she didn't feel too tired.

At three poles in the sun, the carriage turned onto the path of Suijintan.

Earlier, the family had received a letter from Young Master Ye, knowing that Li Laosi and the children were safe, but everyone still couldn't help but think about it.

Tao Hongying calculated that the time was almost up, so she simply divided up the work of the back kitchen and squatted at Taniguchi.

After finally seeing the shadow of the carriage, she ran over immediately.

Li Laosi jumped down from the shaft of the car and greeted him with a smirk, "Well, Hongying, I'm back."

Tao Hongying was so angry that she wanted to pinch him, but when her mother-in-law got out of the car with her daughter in her arms, she could only give him a hard look, "I'll settle the score with you at night."

After that, she went to hug her daughter and helped her mother-in-law.

"Mother, Fu Niu misses you! Fu Niu brought you delicious food!"

Jiayin hugged her mother, kissed her left and right, she was so happy that she couldn't come, and Tao Hongying scolded her daughter, "You, you are a urinal with gold rims, good mouth! You say you miss me every day, and you don't want to bear me. When it's time to go out and play, It will never fall!"

"Hee hee!" Jiayin felt guilty, hugged her mother's neck, smiled and showed her small white teeth, pretending to be stupid to the end, which made everyone laugh.

The old lady asked, "How is the family, is there nothing wrong?"

"No, mother, everything is fine, but everyone is thinking about you." Tao Hongying replied, and at this moment Jiayi and Liu Yang had already run into the valley.

After leaving for a month, the two boys were also very homesick.

Liu's sister-in-law pulled her son, and her eyes were red, but she didn't blame her.

She was married to a bodyguard, and her food was to travel to the rivers and lakes. She was used to the separation and returning safely, and she was a little more resilient and patient than others.

Escort Liu did the same. He patted his son and apprentice on the shoulders, and after hearing that they were not injured, he went to meet Li Laosi.

The villagers also surrounded the carriage at the moment, Mrs. Li didn't say much, she pointed to the more than 20 pieces of fine cloth in the carriage, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is going on an expedition again. Before leaving, I was thinking about the village and bought so much cloth. , let us pull it back. It is said to be a summer shirt for the elderly and children in the village. I advised him to keep the money and marry a wife in the future, but Lord Hou refused."

Everyone laughed, "In the future, when Lord Hou marries a wife, let's help out with some money."

The village head happened to come over, and when he heard this, he laughed and scolded, "You guys think that you have made a lot of money by selling cold melons, and you are starting to learn how to brag."

The villagers are all laughing, they have indeed been a little swollen recently.

During this period of time, the cold melons and cantaloupes in the melon fields were pulled away by carts, and picked one by one and sent to the valley.

Although they couldn't figure out how much silver they earned, they still remembered clearly the three taels of silver for a cold melon.

Even if they don’t get too many, there are always ten cold melons, that’s 30 taels!

Silver is confidence, so now everyone walks with wind under their feet, with their heads raised and their chests held high.

The village head had no choice but to push people away.

"The fourth child and the two boys came back safely. Don't worry about it, everyone. Just do what you have to do. Tonight, wait for Mister Second to settle the accounts and give everyone another salary."

"Great, it's time to distribute money again!" The villagers were all happy and cheered loudly.

The village head glared at them, "Keep your mouth shut, don't go around and make people jealous. The meat will rot in your own pot, do you understand?"

"Understood!" Everyone laughed, and then went to work on their own.

The village head greeted the Li family, "Hurry up and go back. Mr. Wen came last night and has been waiting for you. Mrs. Cui didn't go back either, and she is thinking about you."

The twenty personal soldiers took advantage of this moment to come up and say goodbye to everyone, planning to go to the capital.

Naturally, everyone couldn't let them go like this, so they dragged them to sit under the shade of a tree, had a simple bite of food, stuffed their stomachs, and opened another big cold melon.

The green skin, the bright red flesh, and the sweet taste made all the soldiers full of praise and excitement.

This is a cold melon. It is said that it is a good thing bestowed by the emperor.

I'm afraid that those nobles in the capital may not be able to eat it, but they can actually hold it in their hands and gnaw it!

The village head greeted them with a smile, "Don't swallow the melon seeds, spit them out and save them. This year, this thing is too precious, so you just have to try something new. Next year, the village will plant cold melons on the river beach, and then I will take you there. Eat whatever you want in the field."

"Okay, village head, let's remember, next year I will eat one by myself, hug and gnaw!"

A soldier who was not too old smiled and shouted, which made everyone laugh.

The village chief waved his hand and promised boldly, "Next year, I will free up the hot spring for a day, so that you can eat cold melon while soaking in the hot spring!"

Thinking about that scene, everyone laughed even more happily.

Twenty people share a cold melon, and each person is only one piece.

After vomiting a bowl of seeds, everyone got up and continued on their way.

The Li family also returned to the village. Mrs. Cui and Mr. Wen were sitting in the shade of a tree in front of Li's house to enjoy the shade. When they saw the carriage, they all stood up.

Li Laosi jumped off the shaft of the car, strode forward to salute, and said, "Mr. Wen, all the books are not bad, and all of them have been brought back."

"This is great!" Mr. Wen patted Li Lao Si on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Have you suffered? Are you injured?"

"No, there was a little trouble, but it was solved."

Li Laosi responded casually, and began to move down the collection of books.

Soon, all the books and things Mr. Ye bought were moved into the house.

Jiayin hugged Mrs. Cui's neck, and showed her her new treasure, which made Mrs. Cui laugh non-stop.

Mr. Wen turned around and saw it, feeling complicated in his heart, and a little eager in his eyes.

Mrs. Li thought about her grandson, so she asked, "Sir, there are quite a lot of these books. How long will Jiaren have to copy by himself? Do you need someone to help?"

Mr. Wen smiled and said, "I went to Guo's house again a few days ago. Mr. Guo was very worried when he heard that the fourth child had been in the mountain for a month and hadn't come out. I took the opportunity to mention it, and he agreed.

"I will send these books to the academy. I told Mr. Peng that more than 30 students in Jiaren's class will be invited to copy them together. And these manuscripts will also be kept in the academy for a year for the students of the academy to read. It is a reward for the students. hard work!"

Everyone in the Li family didn't react for a while, they just felt that it was a bit of a toss.

But Jiayin understood that Mr. Wen was trying to create momentum for Jiaren.

These days, collecting books is more precious than gold.

What's more, the Guo family used to run an academy, and the books that the Guo family could keep with them when they ran for their lives were extremely precious and rare.

Even if Jiaren and his classmates help with copying, it is equivalent to reading it through, and it will definitely benefit a lot.

And these manuscripts, if they stay in the academy for a year, even if they can only be read but not copied, it will open the eyes of the students and increase the amount of reading.

If you meet a smart student, you can write silently after reading it a few times, maybe you can leave dozens of copies for the academy.

The most important thing is that after a year, when these books are sent back to Li's family, Jiaren will become the favorite of the academy.
