Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 3393 Not enough manpower
"I've read a lot of records about Daqi. Almost all of Daqi's famous families are in the capital, at the foot of the emperor."

Yang Ruoqing continued.

"As for the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas in the east, there are more well-known wealthy businessmen, and the only fief of the Southern Prince is still in Licheng." Yang Ruoqing said again.

Tuobaxian said: "The one who adopted Chen'er must not be a wealthy businessman, he can raise Chen'er to be so outstanding, both civil and military,"

"This is not the vision and vision that a businessman can have. Moreover, I think Chen'er went to the bandit's den just to practice."

"Those hidden guards were sent by the person who adopted him to protect Chen'er secretly. It can be seen that that person is half cultivating Chen'er, and half is really loving him!"

"And during the year Chen'er was in the bandit's den, that person didn't order Chen'er to go back. It can be seen that that person has a mind that embraces all rivers and rivers, and he is not a narrow-minded and short-sighted person."

After listening to her mother-in-law's analysis, Yang Ruoqing nodded.

"I think so too, mother, you didn't go to Xiaoyao Village, and you didn't see Chen'er's living room."

"This child has good living habits. I am happy to see it."

"By the way, there is also the bamboo forest where he practiced every morning. Those little brothers in the village couldn't see the clues. When I first went in, I just felt that the growth of bamboo in this forest was a little different from other places,"

"But Brother Zuo saw the clue."

"What's the clue?" Tuobaxian asked.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Formation, there is a hidden formation in the bamboo grove. Even Big Brother Zuo, who is proficient in organ formations, is a descendant of the Mohist family. When he saw the formation that Chen'er had set up in the bamboo forest, he secretly marveled."

"He said that if someone else set up this formation for Chen'er, it means that Chen'er has expert guidance behind him."

"He also said, if this formation was set up by Chen'er himself, then my family's Chen'er will be really big, and when he grows up..."

Yang Ruoqing didn't continue, because she saw that both Tuobaxian and Sun's faces were flushed with excitement, and their feet in the warm bucket couldn't help shaking.

Apart from wiping tears happily and gratifiedly, Mrs. Sun couldn't say anything else, only happy and excited.

Tuobaxian took a deep breath, and then asked Yang Ruoqing, "Did you tell Fengtang about this good news?"

Yang Ruoqing shook her head: "I'll tell him when everything is settled."

Tuobaxian nodded, "Then when will you meet Chen'er again?"

Yang Ruoqing said: "Before I left, I also left a self-portrait of mine for Chen'er, as well as a letter and our home's detailed address."

"If Chen'er is willing, he will definitely come to me, but I won't sit here and wait,"

"I also entrusted Wang Xiucai and Liu Laosan to entrust again and again. Once Chen'er returns to Xiaoyao Village after the Chinese New Year, send me a letter quickly, and I will rush to see Chen'er immediately."

It's a two-pronged approach, foolproof.

There was an appreciative smile on Tuobaxian's face, "Okay, Qinger, you're more thoughtful, then we'll just wait for the good news."

The topic about Chen'er was finally enough for everyone to enjoy. Next, it was changed to Yang Ruoqing asking about the situation at home.

She first asked Mrs. Sun about Da'an and Xiaohua's marriage, and knowing that the wedding banquet went smoothly and the young couple were as good as each other, Yang Ruoqing felt relieved.

Then I asked Tuobaxian about the situation of the Luo family, "Cousin Zhou Wang and sister-in-law Xiaohuan, have they come to pay New Year's greetings?"

Tuobaxian smiled and said, "On the first day of the new year, Zhou Wang came over to pay New Year's greetings, and hurried back after lunch."

"Auntie, Xiaohuan and the children didn't come?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

When this matter was mentioned, Tuobaxian smiled even brighter.

"It's said that Xiaohuan is pregnant with a second child. It's only been three months, and the fetus is not stable, so I didn't dare to let her come over."

"Oh?" Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows, her face was also full of joy.

"It's a good feeling, what about uncle? Did you pay a return visit in the past?" She asked again.

Tuobaxian said: "I haven't gone yet. Your uncle seems to have said that after the eighth day of the lunar new year, we will wait for Dajie to go to Huguang County to work before going to Zhoujia Village to pay New Year's greetings."

Speaking of Dajie going to work in Huguang County, Yang Ruoqing also remembered it.

I got the news a few years ago that Mu Zichuan went to serve as the magistrate of Huguang County, and then Mu Zichuan invited the emperor to promote Juren Dajie as his assistant.

Then His Majesty made a favor and appointed Sun Dajie as the magistrate of Huguang County to enjoy the imperial salary.

Therefore, Dajie is now a person who eats the emperor's food. On the eighth day of the first lunar month, that is, tomorrow, he will go to Huguang County with Mu Zichuan to take office.

"Then when will we leave tomorrow? Are my godmother and my aunt planning to hold a practice banquet?" She asked again.

Tuoba Xian turned her attention to Sun, and Sun must be clear about this arrangement.

Sure enough, Mrs. Sun raised her head, smiled and said, "Your godmother doesn't plan to do it anymore. She said that Zi Chuan will leave for Huguang County early tomorrow morning."

"Dajie, your aunt and the others originally wanted to hold a practice banquet, but Dajie refused."

"He said that the county magistrate took up his post very low-key, and there is no need for him, the county magistrate, to hold a practical banquet. Therefore, it is estimated that the two of them will leave early tomorrow morning."

Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Well, Dajie's concerns are justified. He doesn't care about such a meal. The new official takes office three times. The two of them work together to get the job done first."

"By the way, mother, what about Huang Mao and Xiao Shunzi? Are you going with me?" She asked again.

Sun thought for a while, and said: "What your aunt means is that you want Huang Mao to take care of Dajie's daily life, and Xiao Shunzi stay at home, and she will take care of him."

"Where does my eldest aunt have time to take care of Xiao Shunzi? There are so many pigs in the pig farm..."

There are dozens of pigs in the pig farm, and the pigs have a big appetite. It is a very difficult job to eat two pig food a day.

Just because pigs eat a lot, they also pull a lot. Shoveling pig pens and cleaning up pig manure every day is also an extremely difficult task.

Just these two things almost made my aunt and uncle trapped in the pigsty all day, unable to do anything else at all.

So the housework, washing clothes and cooking, used to be done by Huang Mao and Xiaojie together.

Ever since Huangmao got pregnant and had a baby, she was tired of taking care of the baby alone, and all the housework fell on Xiaojie.

In addition, after the death of Mrs. Sun, the old Sun's body and bones have not been as good as before, and there are not enough people to work in this family.

In this case, if Xiao Shunzi is left behind, who will take care of him?
Seeing what Yang Ruoqing was thinking, Sun said: "Your aunt said, it's a big deal to make less money, please come back and help your uncle take care of the pig farm."

"She freed up her hands to concentrate on taking care of her grandson, so that Huang Mao can also concentrate on taking care of Dajie."

"Anyway, now that Dajie is eating the emperor's food, your aunt and the others don't panic anymore. The pig farm can earn as much as it can, and it doesn't matter if it earns less." Sun said.
