Reborn farmhouse busy farming

Chapter 253

The next day, when Luo Tian woke up, Fang and the others had already been busy all morning.

Mrs. Fang knew about her problem, and when she arrived in a new place, she couldn't sleep. Seeing that she was lying in bed in the morning, no one called her, so she asked the rest of the family to be gentle so as not to disturb her sleep.

When Luo Tiandu got up, Luo Mingdu was cleaning the yard outside. Seeing her get up, he said with a smile: "You're finally up too. I cooked porridge this morning. You can drink some. There's nothing now, and it's not easy to cook. .”

Luo Tiandu responded in a daze, and seeing a wooden basin on the table half filled with clean water, he took the handkerchief, washed his face, he was finally refreshed, and could go out. I saw people coming and going outside the yard, very busy.

Mrs. Fang didn't pay too much attention. After tidying up her sleeping room, she went to clean up the kitchen. The stove was good, but the pot was covered with rust. You can break off pieces of red rust with your fingers. After a long time, the bottom of the pot will be worn out and completely unusable.When Fang came, he prepared bedding and the like, but he didn't bring the pot. Mr. Xu had to borrow an old pot for breakfast when he went out.

Luo Tian drank some porridge indiscriminately, his stomach became warmer, and then he went to look around, besides the room where he slept last night, there are several rooms cleared out now, seeing that she had finished eating, Fang asked her to choose a room for herself tidy.There are many houses in the county government office, but there is no need to feel wronged that she is in Shangjing, and she has to share a room with Luo Mingdu.

Luo Tian took a look and found that they were all about the same, so he randomly picked a room facing south that looked clean and dry, and used it as a bedroom, then went outside again, and carried his luggage into the room.She didn't have much luggage, and she packed a box with clothes, books, paper and pens, and a small box of gold with her, which was her entire possessions.

People lived in that house before I came here. It was fully furnished, and a screen was erected in the middle to divide the house into two halves.The screen had been rotted long ago, when Luo Tiandu walked over, there was a gust of wind, the screen creaked, and it fell down, kicking up a big cloud of dust, which made her cough.

"Xiaodu, what's the matter?" Fang called her outside when she heard the sound.

Luo Tiandu slapped two of the screens in front of him with his hand, and the dust kicked up by the falling screen dissipated a bit, before he replied: "It's okay, the screen fell down."

As soon as Fang heard this, he ignored her, and let her toss around in the room by herself.

Luo Tian looked around and saw a large cabinet standing in the corner. She opened the door of the cabinet and pressed down on the horizontal board, but luckily it wasn't broken, and it looked solid and usable.

She found a rag and wiped the cabinet inside and out, then put her small box into the cabinet, took out the small gold and silver box, put it under the box, covered it with clothes, Then it was locked with a big copper lock, and then the cabinet door was closed.

After putting away his belongings, Luo Tiandu opened the windows one by one to let the sunlight in from outside. The windows here are not like the ones in the north that are set up and down, but are pushed out horizontally, so that the sunlight is better. Some, as soon as the window was opened, the dark room suddenly became much brighter.

Then Luo Tiandu looked at the furnishings in the room under the light.

A large bed was placed against the wall. The carved carvings on the top of the bed were all faded, but the rest was intact.Luo Tiandu bent down and knocked. Even though the bed post was broken, the bed board and the bed foot frame underneath were intact. Presumably they were made of different woods. As long as the rotten wood on the outside was sawed off, it would still be the same. Make a good bed.

There is also an Eight Immortals table in the middle of the room, which seems to be functional, and a bench is erected by the wall, which also seems to be functional, but the chair has collapsed and can only be used as firewood. Except for these few things, the varnished Luohan bed is decayed and can no longer be used.

Luo Tian cleaned up all the rotten wood, and wiped the dust in the house again with water, and the rest just waited for Luo Baisu to call someone to saw off the bedposts.She is not a particular person, she has a bed to sleep in and a desk to write on, and she is not too picky about anything else.

She tidied up the house and went to help Luo Mingdu.The room Luo Mingdu chose was the one they slept in last night, and it was almost tidied up yesterday. When she went, Cheng Sheng was carrying boxes for Luo Mingdu.

It's not like Luo Tiandu, Luo Mingdu has several big boxes just for the dowry. Although the room is big, it can't stand the load of things, and it always feels that there is not enough space.Luo Mingdu was still a little worried, there was no place to put some things, and he was tossing and tossing, but he was not satisfied at all.

Cheng Sheng was on the side with a good temper, listening to her arrangements, and moved the boxes from left to right without complaint, and then from right to the corner, without complaining.

Under the warm sunshine in the winter morning, the gentle and quiet woman frowned, thinking about the interior decorations carefully, while the heroic young man stood by, and the two whispered from time to time. Looking at it from a distance, it was as beautiful as a painting.

Luo Tiandu took back half of his foot that had already stepped into the door, stood by the door and looked at the two people in the room, feeling a little weird in his heart.

However, before she could figure out what this strange feeling was, Luo Ming had already turned his head to see her, and hurriedly said, "Xiaodu, you came just in time. Is there any space in your room? I have something I can't let it go, I want to put it on your side."

Luo Tian immediately let go of the part that was wrong in his heart, and said, "My side is empty, what do you want to let go?"

Luo Mingdu pointed to the two boxes on the ground and said, "Just these two boxes."

After hearing this, Luo Tian didn't speak, bent down, and was about to move the boxes on the ground.I don't know what Luo Mingdu put in that box, it was heavy and heavy, Luo Tiandu always boasted that he was strong, but he couldn't even move it.

"Hey..." Luo Tian exerted all his strength, but the box still seemed to have grown legs and rooted on the ground, and it didn't move at all.

Luo Ming thought it was funny, but he was afraid of hurting her self-esteem, so he said: "Xiao Du, don't move, let Brother Cheng Sheng come, don't worry about hurting yourself."

Cheng Sheng also said: "Let's put it down, little lady, and I'll move it." After speaking, he bent down and lifted it up easily.

Luo Tiandu: "..." Is there really a difference between men and women?

The three of them worked hard and finally arranged the dowry luggage in Luo Mingdu.Cheng Sheng was busy all morning, patronizing and moving Luo Mingdu, and he was sweating from exhaustion in the winter.Luo Mingdu felt very sorry, took the handkerchief and handed it to Cheng Sheng and said, "Brother Cheng Sheng, here, wipe off your sweat."

Cheng Sheng didn't refuse, and reached out to pick it up, and the fingers of the two of them touched inadvertently.Luo Mingdu's face turned red, and he retracted his hands as if nothing had happened, and said, "Brother Cheng Sheng, you've been busy for a long time, take a rest first, I'll go to see mother, if you want to help."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Cheng Sheng to look back, he turned his head and left in a hurry, leaving Cheng Sheng holding the square handkerchief, silent for a long time.

In the next few days, Mr. Xu searched for people everywhere. When he found someone, he took them to the county government office and helped to renovate the house in the government office. The female relatives washed and washed, and worked together for five or six days. They finally cleaned up the inside and outside of the inner house, and the well in the middle of the yard was cleared out. Still deserted.

Luo Baisu wasn't picky either, and it didn't look like there was any lawsuit going on now anyway, and the yamen didn't need to act as a facade, just cleared two more rooms on the side of the second gate, and set up two tables, It's the right place to work, as for the others, I'll take care of it later.

At this point, the Yixian county government, which had been abandoned for many years, finally ushered in an unknown number of parent officials, but this establishment is much smaller than other county government offices.

The magistrate of Yi County, the head of Bo, the county magistrate, the history of classics, and the secretary of the six chambers: Luo Baisu;
Concierge, errand runner, servant and handyman: Zishu;

One member of the policeman, guard and squad: Cheng Qing;

There are six female family members in the back house and little buns waiting to be fed: Fang Shi, Luo Mingdu, Luo Tiandu, Xiang Lan, Xiqiao, and Luo Zijin.

This is probably the simplest yamen system in history. Almost everyone has multiple roles. For example, Mrs. Fang is the county magistrate's wife, a nanny, and occasionally a cook.

It was already the middle of the twelfth lunar month, Mr. Xu helped them settle down, and they were going home for the New Year. Cheng Sheng stayed for a long time, and he had to return to the barracks to report.

All the way from Ba Xun to Yi County, Mr. Xu followed them and stayed close to many friends. Everyone was familiar with each other. Luo Tian felt that Mr. Xu had walked outside after all. Some people met again, so they thought that after the new year, they would still let him come to Luo's house to work, not for anything else, at least until Luo Baisu could understand the Yi County dialect, it would be good to have a reliable person to act as an interpreter by his side of.

Mr. Xu seemed a little hesitant, but he didn't refuse outright. He just said to go home and have a look, and then give them a message after the new year.

Luo Tian heard it all, and was a little disappointed, but thinking that Mr. Xu was also getting old, he should have enjoyed the happiness at home and teased his children and grandchildren, so it was understandable not to want to return to the poor place of Yi County, so it was okay. He didn't force him, just said that if he couldn't come, he would introduce someone with good character and reliability to come and help.

After discussing for a while, Fang took three slings of money, wrapped them in a cloth bag, and asked him to go back to Ba Xun with Cheng Sheng, so that he could have a caretaker along the way.

After seeing off Cheng Sheng and Mr. Xu, when they came back, Luo Tian squinted his eyes and looked at the desolate house bathed in the warm winter sun. Although it looked dilapidated from the outside, it was the same as they did a few days ago. It was a bit different when I came here, the house was still the same house, but in the fragmented walls, there seemed to be an invisible vitality growing vigorously, and even the old city that had been abandoned for many years also showed a trace of life. vitality.
