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

The old lady of the Jiang family took out five bulging red envelopes from her sleeve, which were twice as thick as the red envelopes given to them by the old man of the Wan family.

Uncle Thirteen and Mistress Jiang also took out the red envelopes they had prepared and handed them to them.

The three of them all smiled and said in unison, "Happy New Year!"

Luo Jiaojiao and the others were not polite, and took the red envelope with a smile.

Luo Jiaojiao was struggling to pack it into her pocket.

I saw a few more red envelopes in front of me.

She looked up blankly.

I saw Luo Yan, Luo Yan, Luo Yuan, and even Luo Zhe approaching Luo Jiaojiao with a small red envelope in their hands.

"Jiaojiao, grow up healthy!"

"Peace and peace!"

"Happy New Year!"

"Ah~ah!"

Luo Jiaojiao's eyes became hot, and she accepted all the red envelopes.

After her grandmother passed away in her previous life, she has been working hard all by herself.

Even if it is Chinese New Year, I will spend it alone.

It has been a long time since crossing over, Luo Yan and the others have saved a mouthful of food for her since the beginning when they couldn't even eat enough.

Now that Luo Yan has become an official, and their living standards have been greatly improved, they still hold her dearly.

This kind of preference and care, no matter how many times it is, will make Luo Jiaojiao cry.

"Brother and sister, Happy New Year~"

At the same time, festive firecrackers began to sound outside.

Luo Jiaojiao, Luo Yan and the others looked at each other and smiled.

the fifth day of the new year,

Luo Jiaojiao was eating breakfast when suddenly a servant came forward quickly.

"My lord, there are people outside the door begging for an interview, and they claim to be from Dongfeng City."

Luo Yan raised his eyebrows, "Bring them in."

"Yes!"

The servant responded and turned to lead the man.

Luo Yuan frowned and said, "Second brother, why do you want to meet people from Dongfeng City? They humiliated people like this last time, and we have to let them hang around for a few hours."

Uncle Thirteen said, "Brother Yuan, you can relax, Brother Yan knows it well, how can you do things with your will in the officialdom?"

"If every official is like this, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"

Luo Yuan moved his mouth and said angrily, "I just can't stand them bullying my second brother!"

Luo Yan put down the bowl and chopsticks, "Grandma, Aunt, Uncle Thirteen, I'm done eating!"

Then his calm eyes fell on Luo Yuan's face, "Don't worry, the second brother knows it well."

After speaking, he strode towards the study.

Luo Yuan gulped down the porridge in the bowl, wiped his mouth and stood up quickly, "Grandma, Aunt, and Uncle Thirteen have finished eating too."

Luo Yan grabbed Luo Yuan's arm with one hand and dragged him down, "You sit here."

"Sister!" Luo Yuan looked anxious.

"Xiao Yuan, we can't interfere in official affairs, do you understand?"

Luo Yan looked at Luo Yuan with a serious expression.

No one spoke, and the whole room was silent.

Luo Yan rarely speaks to Luo Yuan in such a serious tone, she is always gentle and gentle on weekdays, let alone today is the first day of the new year.

Luo Yuan calmed down, all the strength in his body seemed to be drained all at once.

Some are downcast.

"I just don't want to see my second brother suffer." Luo Yuan said with downcast eyes.

Luo Jiaojiao stretched out her small hand and patted Luo Yuan's shoulder, "Second brother won't suffer."

He will not allow himself to fall twice in one pit.

……

The corners of Luo Yan's mouth curled slightly, and he looked at the man sitting opposite him with a half-smile.

The man was dressed in an official uniform, with a long beard and a smile on his face.

Li Youwei was surprised when he saw Luo Yan's serious face.

Knowing that Yong'an City has a new county magistrate, but did not expect this county magistrate to be so young.

A few years younger than his son, he has already taken the same position as him.

Li Youwei couldn't help but feel jealous when he thought of this.

"The county magistrate of Dongfeng City? Why do you come to my humble house, why don't you just say it bluntly?"

There was no special expression on Luo Yan's face, and even his voice was as flat as plain boiled water.

Li Youwei smiled apologetically, "I was not in the city a few days ago, and I just came back these few days. As soon as the people below mentioned that you came to look for me, I rushed here without stopping. I hope I didn't miss you."

His voice is sincere and his eyes are sincere.

It was as if he was really not at the house that day.

Luo Yan knew in his heart that this was just Li Youwei's rhetoric, but he didn't mean to expose it.

"So that's the case, but it's a pity that the matter I'm asking for has been resolved, and Master Li made a trip for nothing."

Li Youwei quickly waved his hands, "It's not a waste of time."

"Master Luo, I passed through Ximen City two days ago, and I heard that you exchanged some grain with them? Potatoes?"

Luo Yan looked at Li Youwei with a half-smile, "There is indeed such a thing."

"Master Luo, then I'll get straight to the point."

"Can Lord Luo also exchange some food for us in Dongfeng City? Let's exchange it with coal!"

Luo Yan frowned, showing a look of embarrassment, "It's just that the potatoes in our official warehouse are limited, and I'm afraid you won't be able to replace many."

"One catty of potatoes is exchanged for one catty of coal, and we will exchange as much as you have."

Luo Yan said with a half-smile, "Master Li is really a businessman."

A catty of potatoes is exchanged for a catty of coal. It sounds like Luo Yan has made money.

But everyone knows what the price of food is now.

Since Li Youwei was able to find Luo Yan, it showed that he saw the value of potatoes.

This winter is indeed colder than in previous years, and coal is an indispensable thing.

But no matter how indispensable coal is, it cannot be compared with food in famine years.

Li Youwei smiled awkwardly, "It's colder this year than in previous years. Mr. Luo, think about it carefully. We are already very sincere for a catty of potatoes and a catty of coal. After all, we don't have much coal in Dongfeng Coal City."

"Since this is the case, then I won't change it. There is not much coal in Dongfeng City, and Luo is not easy to force others." Luo Yan said unhurriedly.

"Lord Li doesn't know that Luo has exchanged cotton with Master Zhang in Ximen City. The people can spend this winter safely without coal."

"It's a pity, Luo went to Dongfeng City first that day and wanted to replace Master Li, but there is no chance."

Li Youmin's expression changed, and Luo Yan interrupted him just as he was about to speak.

"Master Li, it's freezing outside, you should go back earlier."

Li Youmin's complexion changed, of course he could tell that this was an order to expel the guest.

At first, I thought Luo Yan was young and easy to handle, but I didn't expect to turn against him.

Thinking of those potatoes in Ximen City originally belonged to Dongfeng City, his heart ached.

But he must take this potato!

In two months, it will be the day when people from above will come to inspect. If they are found starving and starving all over Dongfeng City, he will be the one who can't eat and walk around by then!

"So, how about a catty of potatoes for two catties of coal?"

Luo Yan was still smiling, and reached out towards the door, "Master Li, please!"

……

In the end, Luo Yan exchanged the potatoes for Li Youmin. One catty of potatoes was exchanged for ten catties of media.

Luo Yan stood at the gate of the county magistrate's mansion, smiling and waving at Li Youmin's back, "Master Li, welcome to visit you next time!"

Li Youmin's face was gloomy, and next time?

Next time, I'm afraid this little bastard will be able to peel off a layer of his skin, too black-hearted!
