Xu Hongda's back felt tight. The county magistrate could be so considerate to his future wife, which showed that he loved his wife. If one day he found out that he was like other men and was not considerate enough to his wife and sister, would he be right? Does he have an opinion?

Thinking like this, Xu Hongda couldn't lie down anymore, so he got dressed and got off the kang.

When my feet landed on the ground, my body shook due to hangover, and I put my shoes on while holding on to the kang.

When they went out, they only saw Lin Xiangxing and her daughter sitting in the yard, peeling peanuts and talking. It seemed that there was no one at home anymore.

"Mom, where are the family members?"

Shen Guihua smiled and said: "You all got up early and went to the fields. The weather is nice and you are busy working on the fields. There is food left for you in the kitchen."

Xu Hongda was a little embarrassed. Everyone else had gone to the ground, and he was the only one still sleeping in. He didn't know how Xiang Xingniang's family would miss him.

I went to the kitchen and opened the lid of the pot, expecting to see a pot of leftover food from yesterday's banquet. Unexpectedly, there was a pot of pork belly stewed with sauerkraut, a chicken stewed with mushrooms, and several large white-flour steamed buns next to it.

He took it out and put it on the table. While eating, he asked: "Where is the leftover food from yesterday's banquet? Isn't it hot?"

Shen Guihua smiled, "Oh, there's nothing left, it's all poured into the swill tank. Now everyone is not short of food, and we don't have to compete with the pigs for food."

The corner of Xu Hongda's mouth twitched, thinking of the neighbor's wife getting married a few days ago. His mother took his two sisters-in-law to a banquet. When they came back, each of them filled a basin with radish, and the whole family ate happily for two days.

At that time, I didn’t want to eat Xiangxing. What did his mother-in-law say?

His sister-in-law said: "You've never seen such a good dish, have you? When you work in the countryside, do you stew radish and cabbage in a big pot? Can you set a table with just two dishes?"

His second sister-in-law said: "Why do we need two vegetables? Maybe we can stew the cabbage and radish in one pot, which will save some heat."

His mother said: "Don't just look around. If you don't eat more, my eldest grandson will suffer in your belly."

Now that I think about it, I feel really embarrassed.

Fortunately, the two women would give Xiang Xing a chicken to stew some soup from time to time, otherwise it would have been really hard for her.

But a chicken Xiangxing can only drink two bowls of soup and eat a few pieces of meat, and most of it ends up in the stomachs of the Xu family. Even so, they still have to be accused of being stingy for only buying one chicken.

Compared to when he came to the Lin family and left such delicious food for him even after getting up late, in the Xu family, during the days when Xiang Xing was the most overjoyed, the Xu family did not say they were afraid that she would be hungry and left food for her.

After eating, Xu Hongda asked Shen Guihua to find a pair of his father-in-law's old clothes and shoes. After putting them on, he inquired about Xiang Xing's house.

Seeing that the whole family, including the old lady, were sowing seeds in the field, he rolled up his trouser legs and went to the ground, taking the hoe from his father-in-law's hand.

As he was working, he saw in the neighbor's field not far away, the county magistrate, also dressed as a farmer, wielding a hoe. He was doing a better job than him. Xu Hongda worked even harder to endure the sore hands.

At noon, Xiuyu Xiuxiang and several nursing staff came over with carts to deliver meals. The workers in Lin Xiaoman's field all carried their own bowls to prepare meals. Only then did Xu Hongda see that the entire land there was actually county food.

The owner’s family.

During the busy farming season, many families in the village did not have time to cook, so Lin Daqiang found a few idle people to cook. Each household would bring food and vegetables. Each household would be given ten cents a day to deliver the cooked meals to the fields.

Come.

Although the taste of the dishes is not as good as the ones at the princess’s house, it contains meat, vegetables and white rice, which is already much better than what Xu Hongda’s family eats.

Lu Jin called Xu Hongda to come over and eat together. Xu Hongda carried a big bowl over, and the two of them sat under the tree and chatted while eating. Lu Jin also added two spoonfuls of braised pork to Xu Hongda's bowl.

The meat was so fragrant that Xu Hongda swallowed his saliva, but sitting next to him was the county magistrate, who was eating it in small bites like a hamster.

The people around him all laughed at him for being so cowardly. He was even a scholar. He was as scared as a mouse at a cat when he saw the county magistrate. People in the village were used to farming with the magistrate. Who could be scared like him?

Already?

Lin Xiaoman, wearing a bamboo hat and sitting on the other side of Lu Jin, wondered why Xu Hongda was not worthy of Xiang Xing.

He looks quite handsome, but his unattractive appearance really makes people look down upon him.

"Xu Tongsheng, how many days will you stay with Xiang Xing back to her parents' home this time?"

When Xu Hongda heard Lin Xiaoman's question, he quickly put down his bowl and cupped his hands and said: "Back to the princess, I was originally going back today, but seeing that the Yue family was busy with farming, I thought of staying and helping out for a few days."

Lin Xiaoman disagreed, "I heard from Xiang Xing that when you were studying, there was no holiday in the academy. You stayed to farm, weren't you afraid of delaying your studies?"

"Huh?" Xu Hongda thought that Lin Xiaoman would praise him for his thoughtfulness, but Lin Xiaoman thought that he was delaying his studies.

But he quickly said: "It's only a few days, so we can't delay it."

Lin Xiaoman didn't say anything more. The busy farming period was indeed only for these few days, so he didn't realize that the delay might be due to his confidence.

Lu Jin said: "There are some great scholars in the village. If you are interested in taking a step further, I can help you introduce them to them. During the day, you can work in the fields, and at night, you can get some advice from some great scholars. Maybe you will be better than studying alone."

”

Xu Hongda hurriedly thanked him, and Lu Jin put down the bowls and chopsticks he had finished eating, stood up and said, "Come with me."

Xu Hongda also hurriedly put down his bowls and chopsticks and followed Lu Jin towards the west of the village.

Lin Dajiao and her hired men were busy working in the field. At this time, the school was also taking a lunch break. Xu Qiuliang was lying on the kang to take a nap after eating. He was still a little impatient when he heard the knock on the door.

The villagers and the children in the school all knew that he would take a nap when he got home at noon, so they would not come to him at this time. The only one who could come to cause trouble at this time was Lu Jin.

Xu Qiuliang turned over and tried to pretend he didn't hear it. But then he heard Lu Jin's voice coming from outside the hospital, "Old man, open the door. If you don't open the door, I'll kick you."

Xu Hongda did not expect that the county magistrate was such a magistrate. It was really... insulting to gentlemen.

Just as I was thinking about it, a powerful scolding voice came from the yard: "Who are you calling me old man? How old am I? I don't know how to respect teachers..."

The following words were spoken in a very soft voice. Xu Hongda vaguely sounded like Lao Liu, but he was not sure.

The door opened, and inside was a man in his forties. He looked fair and clean, like a scholar.

Lu Jin pushed Xu Hongda, "He is Lin Xiangxing's man. He goes to work during the day and comes to study with you at night."

Xu Qiuliang looked Xu Hongda up and down, and said reluctantly: "Then come on, I will make one tael of silver every month."

Lu Jin clicked his tongue and said, "Why didn't I realize that you love money so much before? You really are obsessed with money."

Xu Qiuliang answered matter-of-factly, "I have become a son-in-law, so I can't take it for granted, right? My wife works hard to support the family, and I have to help her share the burden. Is one tael a lot of money? In the past,
