Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 368 So I Want to Come Over

Zeng Dashu sighed. He couldn't understand when his family had become like this. But now that he had experienced a lot, he had become more open-minded. Since he couldn't understand it, he decided not to think about it too much.

"Oh, by the way, Third Brother, I was afraid you would think too much of me so I didn't ask you. Why did you bring these things here?"

"I only got a small car, so I can't carry too many things. The tables, chairs, and benches are still locked at home. Bring the important things here first. They still remember you and know we are coming, so they are willing to take care of our family. They have greeted the villagers, so no one dares to break in and steal things.

You can come back and get the rest later."

Zeng Dashu nodded, thinking that he would definitely go and thank the head of the village when he had the chance. "Okay, if you can't handle it by yourself, remember to ask me for help."

"That's enough." Zeng Lao San waved his hand, "Just take care of your own family. I can do it all by myself, and I'll get it done."

"Before, we were far away and I couldn't take care of you. Now that you are in Beishan County, I will definitely help you if I can."

Zeng Lao San sighed, "Alas, I was afraid that you would be like this, so I have been unhappy all the time."

Zeng Dashu looked puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"I'm afraid I'll let my sister-in-law down." Zeng Lao San stopped walking. "She hasn't had a few days of peace yet. Now that we're here, you're tangled up in both sides."

"No." Zeng Dashu said.

"Don't be so sure." Zeng Lao San said, "We are your family, and your sister-in-law is also your family. You are concerned about both sides and are unwilling to let go of either. But you are alone. No matter how much strength you have, there is only so much you can do. If you help us, you will have less work to do for your sister-in-law.

If you help us again and again, won't things go back to the way they were before?
I was concerned about this matter, so I didn't want to come.

But who would have thought that my second brother wanted to come over and persuaded mom, saying that mom was worried about you being here, and if my second brother was still determined to come over, I would have no good excuse to persuade them to stay.

After all, I wanted to come myself.

Who wouldn’t want to come to such a great place? "

Zeng Dashu never expected that his youngest brother would have such serious thoughts.

"Don't think too much." Zeng Dashu advised: "I did something wrong before, and I made you worry about it, but now it's different. The place has changed, and the people have changed too."

Zeng Laosan smiled and said nothing more, and the two brothers continued walking forward.

Boss Zeng took him to hand in the travel pass, get an ID card, and then went to another place to register his residence.

The yamen runner asked: "There are two villages, Annan and Pingbei. Which one do you want to live in?"

Zeng Laosan asked: "Are there no more room for those two villages?"

The yamen runner looked around at the two people in front of him, "Are you Zeng Dashu's brother? Do you want to live in the same village with him? You have relatives here, so of course you can."

"No, no, no!" Zeng Lao San hurriedly explained, "We don't live together. Please pick a place that's farther away from Andong Village."

The yamen runner didn't find it strange to hear such a request, and said, "Then you can go to Pingbei Village. Annan Village is next to Andong Village."

Before Zeng Lao Da wanted to say something, Zeng Lao San quickly thanked him.

After receiving the note from the yamen runner, the two of them went to the side to talk. Zeng Dashu said to him, "There's no need to do this."

"It is necessary, very necessary." Zeng Lao San said, "I am too embarrassed to see my sister-in-law now, so I'd better try to keep them away from her."

Boss Zeng opened his mouth but said nothing more.

"Does sister-in-law know that you are coming to pick us up?" asked Zeng Laosan.

"I know. It was she who read the letter you asked someone to deliver to me." "Sister-in-law can read letters now!" Zeng Laosan was surprised.

Boss Zeng nodded, "She works very hard at learning characters."

Zeng Lao San said, "You should go back early, so as not to make your sister-in-law unhappy."

Boss Zeng looked at the sky and said, "At this hour, she is still working in Xinjie. I will accompany you for a while and pick her up later."

"Working?" Zeng Lao San was puzzled. "Why is my sister-in-law still working when she's pregnant?"

"It's not a tiring job, she wants to go by herself." Zeng Lao Da then remembered and said, "The county is building a new street recently, and it needs a lot of workers. Come with me later, and I'll tell you where to register.

Once you register, you can start working. You are not required to go every day. You get paid for each day you go. As long as you are willing to work hard, you can earn more than ten cents a day. "

Zeng Laosan immediately understood that his eldest brother had given up at least half a day's wages in order to pick them up.

The two of them talked and soon returned to the house where they were staying temporarily.

Zeng Laosan was stunned for a moment after entering the room.

The luggage in the room is still in the same condition as before he left.

He looked into the inner room again and saw only Zeng's mother, who was sweeping the room with a rag. Zeng's second son was sitting on the clean kang, doing nothing.

As for Chi Chunmei, she was nowhere to be seen in the room.

Zeng Lao San was so angry that he wanted to curse. Of course, he was thinking more than that. "These things are piled here. Are they waiting for my mother to deal with them, or for me to deal with them? You can't move them!"

Zeng Lao Er looked up at him with an unhappy expression, "If you don't want to do it, just leave it there. Who asked you to do it?"

Zeng Laosan took out the couple's luggage and threw it at Zeng Laoer.

Zeng Lao Niang cried out in pain, took Zeng Lao Er's things and put them aside, cursing Zeng Lao San, "You are a sinner. What are you going to do? I will get those things."

Zeng Laosan shrugged at Zeng Dashu and started to organize the remaining things in his hands.

Most of them were food in sacks, which Zeng Laosan moved to the corner of the wall.

Zeng Dashu couldn't just stand there and watch, so he helped move the things. After moving several bags, he suddenly touched a strange bag that seemed to be filled with some things.

"What's in here?"

"Sweet potatoes." Zeng Laosan replied while working.

Zeng Dashu frowned and opened the bag. The things inside looked like sweet potatoes, but they were different from those he grew. These sweet potatoes were small and thin and did not look tasty.

"How did it turn out like this? Did you not fertilize it or till the soil?"

"Where can we get fertilizer for it? There's not enough food for it." Zeng Lao San sighed as he looked at the bag of things. "At that time, the government distributed potato seeds but didn't tell me how to plant them. I learned how to plant them from the villagers, and it grew like this.

At first I thought that the leaves were edible, but later I heard from others that the roots underneath could also be eaten.

It was not until I came back to your house last time that I realized that sweet potatoes should grow like that.”

Looking at the sacks piled up in the corner, Zeng Dashu asked, "Have you brought all the food?"

Zeng Lao San patted the dust off his hands and said with a smile, "It's not like you haven't lived in a money village before. No matter how much grain you get from the land, you always hand it over more and keep less for yourself." He took a deep breath, "So I want to come here too. Lord Meng here is not a black heart."
