Xu Lizheng and his son followed Huo Yunchao into the living room. Instead of waiting for the smiling face with hot tea, they saw Huo Yunchao sitting there with a cold face.

Xu Ansheng immediately realized something was wrong and tugged on his father's sleeve.

Xu Lizheng looked at Huo Tianxiang and found that both the Huo family and his son had displeased expressions on their faces. Then he realized belatedly that his behavior had offended the public.

Xu Lizheng immediately confessed to Huo Yunchao: "Chao'er, you really can't blame me for what happened just now. Really! I was eating well at home, and groups of people came to tell me that you had done something big again, and they couldn't say anything. You want me to come and inquire. I can handle one or two people, but there was a large group of people standing behind me just now. I really can't deal with it."

Huo Yunchao didn't even look at Xu Lizheng. He looked down at the yellow-brown soil on the toes of his shoes without giving any response.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Xu Lizheng stood up and almost swore: "Chao'er, I relied on you to show my face in front of the county magistrate, and you are my great nobleman! No matter how stupid I am, I can't do something stupid that will end my future. Come on! I am getting older and my energy is not as good as before. I will probably have to retire in a short time. I have brought you Brother Ansheng in the past few years just to let you see and learn more. Chaoer , I still expect you to win over your brother An Sheng, how could I possibly do something stupid that will ruin his future?"

Huo Yunchao finally looked at Xu Lizheng and said with a sneer: "Well, please explain to me. What do you mean by leading a group of people to block me at the entrance of the village with great force? To force me to submit or do you have other intentions?"

He just has to deal with his unforgiving temper. If anyone makes him unhappy, don't even try to pick out even a tiny bit of leakage from under his fingernails!

Xu Ansheng pulled

Xu Lizheng, who wanted to explain, stood up and explained to his father: "Yun Chao, you have misunderstood us father and son. The reason why we led people to wait at the entrance of the village is not to force you, but to help you. I don't know who is fanning the flames in the village. It was said that you were making big moves again, and the rumors became more and more evil. In the end, someone actually said that you had discovered a treasure, and that the treasure was a gold mine. It took some effort for my father to suppress those people. Your stepmother and second brother were almost killed. There was a collision, but my dad arrived in time and stopped it.”

Huo Tianxiang got up without saying a word and was about to go home to see if his wife and son were safe. Huo Yunhai's voice came from outside the house: "Mom, second brother, you said someone knocked on the door? Who is so bold? Second brother, you have good eyesight. Did you see who it was?"

Huo Yunze shook his head and said, "It was too dark, so I didn't see clearly. The man even deliberately held his throat when speaking, and I couldn't tell who he was from his voice."

Huo Yunhai yelled angrily: "You bastard, be careful, don't let me catch you! Even if I can't kill you, I have to peel off a layer of his skin!"

"Okay, okay, you have a bigger butt. Where did you get such a big breath?"

"Haier, don't talk nonsense, so as not to disturb your elder brother and the others."

"Mom, second brother, I must let my eldest brother know about this! My eldest brother is so kind-hearted. If he has any good things, he will give them away and teach them abroad. He..."

Hearing this, Huo Yunchao's tense nerves obviously relaxed a lot, and he shouted to Huo Tianxiang: "Dad, please bring your stepmother and second brother over."

Xu Ansheng pulled Xu Lizheng to prevent him from defending himself at this time. Facts speak louder than words. Those who really do practical things only need to show actual results as the best defense!

Chen and Huo Yunze were invited in and asked in public

Explain the situation.

Mrs. Chen did not forget to prove Xu Lizheng and his son, and solemnly expressed her gratitude to them: "Chao'er, thanks to Xu Lizheng's timely appearance, otherwise your second brother and I would have been too panicked to move. Xu Lizheng, I am a timid woman and a man. I'm not at home, thank you very much."

Xu Lizheng waved his hand and said: "You're welcome. Not to mention that I got a lot of benefits from Chao'er. I just said that I am Li Zheng of our Pingle Village. What I did was just my duty. I don't deserve what you said." .”

After the misunderstanding was resolved, Huo Yunchao stood up and bowed to the Xu family and apologized very solemnly: "Xu Lizheng, Brother An Sheng, I'm sorry, I shouldn't judge a gentleman with a villain's heart. Thank you for protecting my family!"

Xu Lizheng's little resentment completely dissipated, and he helped Huo Yunchao up with a smile: "Chao'er, are you willing to give me and your brother An Sheng a chance to explain? Let's talk about it and there is no misunderstanding. How big is the matter? It’s really not worth it.”

Xu Ansheng also said at the side: "Yun Chao, if it were me, I would feel uncomfortable too. It's okay, let's just clear up the misunderstanding. My father and I have been waiting for you for more than an hour. Tell us quickly, what are you doing today?" Did you make any important discoveries tonight? Is there anything I can do to help?"

Huo Yunchao motioned Xu Ansheng to look at the sweet potatoes in the basket: "Brother Ansheng, have you seen these?"

The basket contained not only sweet potatoes, but also fresh green sweet potato vines. Xu Ansheng was afraid that he could not see clearly enough, so he put the sweet potatoes and sweet potato vines under the lamp to look at them: "Dad, do you think these two look familiar to you?"

"It looks familiar. I'm thinking about where I've seen it before."

Xu Lizheng came over to study together, and the father and son were completely unaware.

He said something that excited the hearts of others present.

"Eh? Dad, does this size look like something Er Niu dug up for snacks? Dad, you were afraid that this thing was poisonous, so you got so angry that you beat Er Niu. Do you remember?"

Xu Lizheng nodded heavily: "Yes! That's right, that's it!"

The father and son noticed the burning eyes behind them and were both startled, "What are you doing?"

Huo Yunchao's eyes were bright, ten times brighter than the lamp in Xu Lizheng's hand: "Brother An Sheng, think about it quickly, where did Er Niu get it? I am of great use!"

"Uh, let me think about it." Xu Ansheng was made uncomfortable by Huo Yunchao's overly hot eyes, so he turned his head and thought for a while.

Xu Lizheng asked curiously: "Chao'er, you haven't told me yet what these things can be used for. Could they be for food? Are they not afraid of being poisonous?"

As Huo Yunchao spoke, he picked a roasted sweet potato from another basket and handed it to Xu Lizheng: "Lizheng, this thing is called sweet potato. It is non-toxic and can be eaten raw. We can also use it to fry, steam, fry and cook." ! People can eat it, and so can pigs, chickens and ducks! The most important thing is that the yield of this sweet potato can be as much as ten stones per mu! Li Zheng said, no matter how good the food is, I can't say enough about it, why don't you try it yourself."

Seeing Xu Li holding the roasted sweet potato and not daring to eat it, Huo Yunchao smiled, picked up another roasted sweet potato in front of him, peeled it, and took a bite.

Xu Lizheng still didn't dare to try. Xu Ansheng didn't want to lose the face of his father and son, and because of his understanding and trust in Huo Yunchao, he took the roasted sweet potato from his father's hand, peeled it, and took a bite. The sweet taste made him excited. : "Dad, these sweet potatoes are so delicious! Try it quickly!"

"

After saying that, Xu Ansheng couldn't help but stuff the remaining half of the sweet potato to his father. He went to the basket and picked out a stubby one, broke it into two pieces, and suddenly remembered:

"I remembered it! Erniu said that there is a piece of wasteland to the east of our village, at the foot of the mountain, and there is a knee-deep creek beside it."
