Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

After leaving the county government gate, Luo Yuncai asked Zheng Xidong, "Why do we want to go to find the left county lieutenant? The master said that it's not a good place to stay."

Zheng Xidong naturally had her reasons, and she pulled Luo Yun away before saying, "Don't be anxious, listen to whether what I say makes sense.

Previously, the Lord asked the three of us to take care of the accounts. After questioning us today, he only assigned the position to Sister Mei Zi. This is because we don’t understand Lord Meng’s intentions.

Now the adults are asking me to choose again. Think carefully about the two things they said. What did they say? They only asked me to stay in the county government office, but then they repeatedly told me to go to the wall. They clearly said it was not a good place to stay, but why did they give me this choice? "

Luo Yun speculated: "The master intends for us to go to the wall."

"That's what I think." Zheng Xidong said.

Luo Yun nodded, "Indeed, if you don't have any intention, why bother to mention this matter? Just let us stay in the government office and do our work."

The two talked along the way, and became more and more certain of their speculation.

When she was almost at the door of her house, Zheng Xidong noticed a child squatting at the door. She nudged Luo Yun beside her and asked, "Is the door made of stone?"

It was already dark at this time and only the child's figure could be vaguely seen.

However, this area had long been used for other purposes by the county government, and only a few houses were still occupied.

Normally, the yamen runners patrol frequently, so no children dare to come here to play.

The two of them quickened their pace and when they arrived at the door, they saw that it was indeed Luo Shitou.

"Why are you here alone?" Luo Yun asked worriedly.

"My mother asked me to watch things here." Luo Shitou stood up, and Zheng Xidong and Luo Yun saw that there was a bundle sitting under his butt.

"What is that?" Luo Yun asked.

"Chicken." Luo Shitou swallowed his saliva. "Mom stewed it for the whole afternoon. It smells really good."

Zheng Xidong hurried to open the door, "Let's talk inside."

Luo Yun went to pick up the package, and when he touched it, he realized that there was a casserole inside.

The three of them had just entered the house, and Zheng Xidong hadn't had time to light the oil lamp, when he heard footsteps outside. From the sound, he knew that the people must be rushing here in a hurry.

Luo Yun leaned to the door to look, and could confirm the other person's identity just by the way he walked. "Mom!" She walked out quickly and helped Jiang Chan take the things in her hand.

Only after I took it did I realize how heavy the package was. "How do you carry so many things?"

"I made two cotton-padded jackets for you two, which are not worth much." Jiang Chan asked, "Why did you come back so early today?" Without waiting for Luo Yun to answer, Jiang Chan asked again, "Have you settled your accounts? The deadline that the adults mentioned is today, right?"

Speaking of this, Luo Yun sighed secretly in the night, "Let's go inside first."

How could Jiang Chan not understand her daughter, so she didn't ask any more questions.

Zheng Xidong had already lit the oil lamp in the room. Seeing Luo Shitou struggling to lift the casserole onto the kang table, he did not bother to greet Jiang Chan and hurried forward to help.

"Xidong." Jiang Chan greeted her with a smile as she came in. "Auntie made some food for you. Yun'er lives here. Sorry to bother you."

"No, no, Yun'er came to keep me company, and I should thank her, how can it be a trouble."

"Don't be polite." Luo Yun had already lit the stove. He felt the kang head seemed to be a little warm, and he couldn't wait to take off his shoes and get on the kang. "Come and eat while the pot is still hot!"

Jiang Chan brushed the dust off herself and Luo Shitou before sitting down on the kang.

Lifting the lid of the pot, there was a pot full of chicken vermicelli. In the middle of the package that Jiang Chan had just brought out, there was a plump corn tortilla.

Zheng Hongyu brought five sets of bowls and chopsticks, "Uncle Luo should be off duty soon, why don't we wait until he comes before eating?"

"He's taking so long. Let's eat first instead of waiting for him." Jiang Chan filled a bowl and placed it in front of Zheng Hongyu. "You've been busy all day. You must be hungry. Come eat."

Luo Yun couldn't wait for Jiang Chan to serve her, so she scooped a bowl for herself and started eating.

Luo Shitou swallowed his saliva wildly, "Give me half a bowl, give me half a bowl too!"

When Jiang Chansheng gave it to him, he immediately took it with his hands reverently.

Seeing that they had almost finished eating, Jiang Chan asked, "Nothing happened in the county government office today, right?"

Speaking of the county government, Luo Yun put down his chopsticks.

She gave a general account of what happened today and concluded, "I think we are too careless. When adults tell us to sort out the accounts, we only care about the numbers on the accounts."

Jiang Chan was not most concerned about this. "So you are going to go to the wall starting tomorrow?"

"Yes."

"There are a lot of people there. You must follow the people from the county government wherever you go. Don't walk alone, and it's best not to go outside the city wall." Jiang Chan gave a lot of instructions, but still felt uneasy. "I'll drive you there tomorrow."
