Nongbao is three and a half years old in the famine year, and the whole family is a big villain

"I see!"

Luo Jiaojiao and Luo Yan nodded in understanding.

"But you can't stay in the house all the time, you will get sick if you don't go out for a walk."

Han Qingge said with a sullen head, "When Luo Yan comes back, I will definitely go out!"

Seeing that Han Qingge couldn't be persuaded, Luo Yan and Luo Jiaojiao didn't stay with her for so long, so they turned and left.

……

A carriage with the official name on it was parked at the gate of the county magistrate's mansion.

Luo Yan lifted the curtain of the carriage with nostalgia on his face.

Although he hadn't seen Luo Jiaojiao and the others for just a few days, he felt as if he hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Luo Yan got off the carriage, and the cloth shoes on his feet were stained with mud.

But he didn't care, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and hurriedly walked towards the mansion.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard Luo Yuan's voice scolding the servants, "Grandma can't eat such a hard thing, make something that is easy to eat and send it over."

The servant nodded again and again, and walked away with an unidentifiable object.

The cook in the county magistrate's mansion was taught by Luo Yan himself. Although the dishes are not as good as Luo Yan's, they can still be eaten.

Although it was a little troublesome, Luo Yan always prepared the ingredients needed for the house the day before.

Maybe when Yong'an City no longer has to suffer from famine and the people live and work in peace, she won't have to work so hard.

Luo Yan frowned.

grandmother?

"Grandma and the others have arrived?"

Hearing Luo Yan's voice suddenly, Luo Yuan was startled.

Turning his head to see that it was Luo Yan, Luo Yuan hurriedly walked towards him with a face full of surprise, "Second brother, you are finally back!"

"You don't even know that when you're not around, we're almost bullied to death by Wanjia!"

"If grandma and aunt hadn't come back in time, my sister would have been married to an old man by Wan Xiaoniang!"

As soon as Luo Yuan saw Luo Yan, he seemed to have found a backer, and he opened his mouth and talked non-stop.

Luo Yan, who was still smiling at first, suppressed his smile in an instant, and there was a thin layer of anger between his brows.

Shen Sheng asked, "What's going on? What do you mean Xiaoyan wants Wan Xiaoniang to marry the old man?"

Luo Yuan opened up the conversation box now, and explained the ins and outs of the whole matter to Luo Yan clearly in a few words.

Luo Yan squinted his eyes and didn't speak, but there was a dangerous aura emanating from his body.

"Is Xiaoyan injured?"

Luo Yuan shook his head, "Grandma and aunt came in time, you don't even know how they taught Wan Xiaoniang, it's so satisfying!"

"It's a pity that she was pregnant and was taken back by the Wan family..."

Luo Yan interrupted Luo Yuan's chatter, "Where are grandma and the others?"

"At this time, they should be with Jiaojiao and the others. My sister didn't go to the restaurant today."

When they entered, they saw Luo Yan squatting down to put knee pads on the old lady of Jiang's family. The old lady smiled from ear to ear.

Luo Yan couldn't get in because the fire was burning inside the room.

It was windy and cold outside, and as soon as he entered the house, a wisp of white smoke visible to the naked eye rose from his body.

You can see the cold outside.

Seeing Luo Yan, the old lady of the Jiang family and the mistress of the Jiang family both rolled their eyes with a smile, "Brother Yan is back? Is the trip going outside going well?"

Luo Yan glanced at the weather outside and said, "It's going well. My grandson has reached a consensus with the county magistrate of Ximen City to exchange the potatoes in our inventory for their cotton."

"In this way, the people in Ximen City will have enough to eat, and the people in Yong'an City will not have to suffer from the cold."

The old lady of the Jiang family nodded appreciatively, "Brother Yan did a good job, it's really too cold this year."

Luo Jiaojiao nodded.

In this weather, she felt cold even with a down jacket underneath, not to mention those ordinary people who only had a single layer of clothes on.

Luo Jiaojiao's eyes moved slightly. In this weather, many people might die again.

"I've heard Yan'er talk about the potatoes, but Brother Yan, aren't you afraid that someone will take the potatoes to claim credit? Take your credit?"

Luo Yan smiled, with a frank face, "Don't be afraid, if someone uses these potatoes to fill the stomachs of more people, even asking for credit will be a merit."

"I have already written a letter to the saint about the potato, and hope that this potato can end this calamity year." Luo Yan sighed.

The old lady of the Jiang family took a deep look at Luo Yan, and said after a long time, "Brother Yan is a good official!"

"Rou'er is better than me in raising children."

Luo Yan smiled slightly and changed the topic, "Everything will be fine when the cotton from Ximen City arrives!"

Luo Yuan suddenly raised his head and looked at Luo Yan, "No, Second Brother, didn't you go to Dongfeng City? Didn't you go to exchange coal?"

Luo Yan and the others also turned their attention to Luo Yan, "Yes, second brother, why did you become Ximen City?"

Before Luo Yan could speak, the officers and soldiers guarding Luo Yan outside the door spoke angrily, "The people in Dongfeng City are too deceitful, they play us adults like fools, and force us adults to wait for half a day in the snowstorm. I haven't seen our lord for an hour."

Luo Yuan quickly asked, "Didn't you explain your purpose to the county magistrate of Dongfeng City? Didn't you say that you can make them no longer hungry?"

"I said it, why didn't I say it? Those dog officials only care about filling their own stomachs, and they don't care about the lives of the people. Not every official is the same as us adults."

"Old Li!" Luo Yan said.

Li Mazi shut his mouth instantly, turned his head and obediently stood guard.

"I used to be a bandit in the mountains as a soldier and guard, but later changed my mind and entered the government to serve as a duty, but the quack spirit in my bones has not dissipated, and it seems a bit unruly."

The old lady of the Jiang family smiled and waved her hands, "It's good for such a person to be straightforward and say that one is one."

Luo Yan also said yes with a smile.

"The county magistrate of Dongfeng City is nothing, isn't he clearly disregarding the lives of the people?"

Luo Yan suddenly asked, "Second brother, people in Ximen City can't eat anymore, so where can there be cotton? Can you provide cotton for our city?"

Luo Yan nodded, "Before the famine years in Ximen City, we were in the cotton business. We had grown cotton for many years, and the government's warehouses were full of old cotton. Naturally, it was enough."

"That's fine!"

After chatting for a while, Luo Jiaojiao looked sharply at the red blood in Luo Yan's eyes and the dust on his body.

"Second brother, did you just get home? Are you tired?"

Luo Yan looked tenderly at Luo Jiaojiao who was looking at him with concern, and said softly, "Brother is not tired, I just want to talk to you for a while."

"I also said that you are not tired, your eyes are red."

"It's the second brother. You'd better go back to the house and have a good rest. We'll have time to talk about the old days after the rest is over."

"That's right, second brother, you are supporting the entire Yong'an City on your body now, you can't get tired!"

Even the old lady of the Jiang family and the mistress of the Jiang family persuaded Luo Yan to go back and rest.

Luo Yan couldn't bear it anymore, so he had to obediently go back to the house.

Luo Jiaojiao looked up out of the window, "The Chinese New Year will be the day after tomorrow, and I don't know how the eldest brother and the fourth brother are doing outside..."
