Chapter 224 Strong labor force (four more)

"You went to the ground yourself." Qi Yaoyao looked at him who was sunburned and said.

"No." Shen Zhouheng put down the bowl and said, "If a big man tans, he tans! It's nothing."

"You don't have any medicine for sunburn yourself." Qi Yaoyao looked at him with worried eyes and said.

"Actually, I'm always under the shade of a tree, wearing a straw hat, so I won't get sunburned." Shen Zhou grinned horizontally, showing his big white teeth, and said, touching his face, "I haven't even shed my skin in the sun."

"You really want to shed your skin!" Qi Yaoyao looked at him angrily and said.

"You don't like it! Then you'll be white when you come back." Shen Zhouheng said immediately after hearing the words.

"One white covers three ugliness." Qi Yaoyao's beautiful apricot core looked at him with bottomless eyes.

"I'm not a woman, I look good in white." Shen Zhouheng said nonchalantly.

"The imperial court's criterion for selecting officials is good looks." Qi Yaoyao kindly reminded him.

"Ah!" Shen Zhouheng looked at her in astonishment and smiled, "It's okay, we are not officials in the capital, and I don't go to court, I will pay attention in the future."

"I'm not letting you go to the ground, but I'm telling you to prepare some medicine so you don't get sunburned." Qi Yaoyao looked at him with bright black eyes and said.

"Understood." Shen Zhouheng nodded lightly, eyes full of her and said again, "How are you? Are you tired? The child didn't bother you!" He stretched out his hand towards her and said, "Come and let me feel your pulse." .”

"I'm fine." Qi Yaoyao put her hand on his and said.

"Is it good that I have a pulse." Shen Zhou held her hand horizontally, with three fingers resting on her wrist.

After a while, he held her slightly cold hand and said, "Why are your hands so cold?"

"Is there?" Qi Yaoyao looked at him with slightly raised eyebrows and said, "Your hands are too hot, look at this blushing, sweaty head." Holding his hand, he raised it, "In the palm of your hand It's all sweat, let go."

"Can't you hold her hand for a while?" Shen Zhouheng held her hand and rubbed the back of her hand.

"Hold it!" Qi Yaoyao looked at him with a smile on her brows and said, "It's all over."

Mentioning this, Shen Zhouheng said happily, "It's all harvested, and the ears of wheat have been picked up by the children." His whole body was full of joy, "Old people, children, the whole family will go to battle together."

"Understood! Longkou grabs food." Qi Yaoyao looked at him with clear eyes and said.

"Yes!" Shen Zhou nodded with a smile.

Qi Yaoyao looked at him hesitantly and said, "I don't know if I should say something or not."

"What's not to say between you and me?" Shen Zhouheng held her hand with his thumb and tapped the back of her hand lightly.

"If it really rains, just thank you, the magistrate is wise. If it doesn't rain in the future, you will complain." Qi Yaoyao said while looking at him with eyes as black as ink.

"I thought about this before I did it." Shen Zhouheng restrained the smile on his face and looked at her seriously and said, "If it doesn't rain, I won't be afraid of being scolded. There can't be a single fluke in this matter, if it really happens It’s raining, the wheat is soaked, and the peasants can’t bear it. It’s been a miserable life. I don’t know how many people will sell their sons and daughters.” Looking at her, he pursed his lips and said, “I don’t want to Seeing such human tragedy."

Qi Yaoyao looked at him with gentle eyes, held his hand, and touched it with his thumb lightly.

"Don't be afraid, I can't hear you when you scold me anyway." Shen Zhouheng smiled foolishly as he looked at her with ginger-colored pupils, his eyebrows lightly raised.

Qi Yaoyao looked at him who was open-minded and smiled and said, "I'm not afraid that there are still many sensible people in this world."

"Yeah!" Shen Zhou nodded with a smile, looked at her with concern and said, "Did Lu Mi send it? It's not like I'm still stuffed with porridge!"

"No, it's egg noodles in hot pot today." Mrs. Chen walked over with a tray in her hands.

Shen Zhouheng hurriedly got up and walked a few steps, took the tray in Chen's hand and said, "I'll do it."

The pomegranate is followed by the tray in the hand with cold side dishes, such as cucumber, garlic spinach, and garlic Junda vegetables.

"Is it enough?" Qi Yaoyao watched him put the food on the bamboo table.

"Enough, enough." Shen Zhouheng nodded hurriedly.

Pomegranate blessed them and retreated.

Shen Zhou walked down the steps to the wooden bucket beside the vegetable field, scooped up some water with the ladle inside, and washed his hands.

"It's been a long time since I ate noodles. It's weird." Shen Zhouheng sat down at the bamboo table again, picked up his chopsticks and looked at the two of them and said, "Do you want some more? Have you eaten?"

"We've eaten." Mrs. Chen picked up the big cattail fan on the bamboo chair and fanned him lightly, looking at Shen Zhouheng who was mixing noodles with chopsticks, "Hurry up and eat."

Shen Zhou mixed the noodles while asking, "I'm not at home, how is the house?"

"It's all right!" Mrs. Chen looked at him with a smile on her face and said, "The Prime Minister of Mo County is very considerate, and the wheat we distribute has been ground for us. That's enough flour for us to eat until next year."

"So much?" Shen Zhouheng raised his eyes and frowned slightly, looking at them and said.

"Don't worry! It's all in accordance with the usual practice. Everyone in the yamen has them. Whether it's your county magistrate, down to the servants, or handymen." Chen patted his thigh and said with emotion, "The way in this yamen is really good. many."

Qi Yaoyao pursed her lips and snickered, "Who is hungry? You can't starve the master!"

"Naughty." Shen Zhouheng glanced at her with bright peach blossom eyes.

Qi Yaoyao looked at him with full eyebrows and smiled without saying a word.

Chen's black eyes turned back and forth on the two of them, feeling different.

The daughter-in-law could see light in her pitch-black eyes.

"It's just that the flour given doesn't have wheat bran, so we can't feed chickens or pigs!" Chen said worriedly.

"It's not easy, just exchange flour for some wheat." Shen Zhouheng said relaxedly, "It's just that we have to grind the flour ourselves."

"It's not that I haven't ground flour before." Chen patted his arm and said, "I have some strength."

"How can I use you!" Shen Zhou looked at her with a smile and said, "I have such a great labor!"

"It's detrimental to the official prestige, how can you, the magistrate of the county, do such a thing!" Mrs. Chen immediately said with a straight face when she heard the words.

"The magistrate of the county belongs to the yamen. At home, I am a pillar and a strong laborer." Shen Zhouheng looked at them with beautiful peach blossom eyes bent into crescents and said, "No one sees them at home."

"Eat quickly, eat quickly, don't talk about this. Otherwise, the noodles will not taste good." Qi Yaoyao looked at him with a smile on his lips and said, "The new wheat is very delicious."

"Yeah!" Shen Zhouheng picked up his chopsticks and began to eat noodles.

In the end, the noodles and the three cold dishes were all eaten.

Shen Zhouheng put down his chopsticks, pursed his lower lip, looked at them and said, "Our chickens have started to lay eggs!"
