Make a fortune by farming: The sweetheart of the first assistant family

County Magistrate Wang sent the scholars away and asked Liu Yamen to inform the registered scholars one by one that when handing over the wooden signs, they should give a few words to the refugees: the refugees should preserve the wooden signs as much as possible, but they do not need to worry too much about the wooden signs. lost.

Huo Yunchao had seen a lot of the dark side of human nature in Zhou Aniu's deed, but he had grown up in a peaceful and stable country and could not really understand how evil human nature could be.

He asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Sir, I don't understand why you want to rob other people's wooden signs? We don't know how to recognize them."

He really hadn't thought about this, why did he want to snatch the wooden sign? The wooden sign is just a support, but it is not necessary.

Magistrate Wang smiled and said, "If you live another ten or eight years, I will let you experience all the things you should see and shouldn't see."

When Lu Changle received the scholar's reply, he took her third aunt, and the five of them bowed to the scholar to thank him.

The scholar was stunned for a few seconds, then hurriedly waved his hands and said: "It doesn't have to be like this, it's not worth it."

Where has he seen such a battle?

He originally complained about being assigned to help register household registration today, but he never thought that he would gain so much.

Lu Changle said crisply: "You helped me register my household registration for free, thank you."

The scholar didn't say anything, but his heart was as sweet as eating honey. His eyes fell on Huo Yunchao through the crowd, and he thought to himself: No wonder Pinglehou likes to help the people so much. It is very special to get the sincere and simple gratitude of the people. A wonderful life experience.

On the way home, Lu Changle handed Lu Third Uncle's wooden sign to Lu Changping: "Brother, you keep it for Third Uncle."

Lu Changping didn't refuse. He didn't trust his shaky third aunt to take care of such an important wooden sign.

As soon as they entered the temporary settlement area for refugees, Lu Changle and his party were blocked on their way, and people started asking questions:

"Changping, have you registered your household registration? How is it?"

"What do you need to say to register your household registration? I, I'm not very good at speaking. What if I can't answer the question?"

"I heard that there is also going to be household division. Has your family been divided?"

……

Lu Changping asked his cousin Lu Changle to take him home first. He took the initiative to stay and answer questions for everyone. He did not forget to show the wooden sign he received: "Uncles and uncles, after you have completed your household registration, the scholar will distribute it to you. Wooden signs. You need to keep the wooden signs well. It doesn’t matter if you lose them. Find three households with wooden signs to vouch for you and you can receive the corresponding supplies."

He was observant, spoke and acted in a measured manner, and answered everyone's questions without the slightest hint of impatience.

Lu Changle turned back three times in one step and saw that her eldest brother had changed from his usual reticence and shouldered the heavy responsibilities of his brother. He turned to her mother and third aunt and smiled and said: "Mom, my eldest brother will definitely become the backbone of our Lu family when he grows up. "

Lu's eyes showed a bit of relief: "Yes, Changping has followed your grandfather, and they are exactly the same in appearance and temperament."

While feeling happy, Mr. Lu inevitably felt disappointed: people are afraid of comparison. Lu Changping, who is only fifteen years old, is far more responsible than the person next to her. In a few years, he will definitely be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of being the backbone of the Lu family.

Lu Changle returned to the thatched house and took the initiative to hand over their family's wooden sign to his father: "Dad, this is our family's wooden sign. The Marquis said that you can use the wooden sign to receive supplies tomorrow."

Old man Lu opened his cloudy old eyes and waited for Lu Changle to come forward on his own initiative before speaking: "Changle, where is your eldest brother? Why don't you see him coming back?"

"Grandpa, my eldest brother is here to answer your questions." Lu Changle replied with a smile.

Old Man Lu smiled happily and asked about Lu Changning who was lying on top of him: "Changle, Changning didn't cry or make trouble, did he? Didn't he make the nobleman unhappy?"

Lu Changle patted his sister and coaxed her: "Grandpa, Changning is so good outside. Changning, tell grandpa whether you are good or not?"

Lu Changning opened his palms, and inside were two tightly clenched candies: "Be good! Changning, be good! Lord Hou, give me candies!"

"When did the Marquis give it to you? Why didn't I see it?" Lu Changle was filled with surprise.

Lu Changning said and gestured in a coquettish voice: "Grandpa, here it is!"

She made a gesture like Huo Yun was stuffing candy for her, and at the end she didn't forget to give the candy to her grandpa as a tribute.

Old man Lu couldn't help but moisten his eyes when he saw his granddaughter being so filial: "Master, if you don't want it, Changning and sister can eat it."

"Give it to grandpa!"

Lu Changning forced it into Old Lu's mouth, crawled back and sat in the elder sister's arms. She first licked a mouthful of candy, then held up the saliva-filled candy and stuffed it to Lu Changle: "Sister, eat."

Lu Changle did not refuse. She had almost forgotten the taste of caramel, and a touch of sweetness poured into her mouth, making her burst into tears: "It's so sweet!"

Old man Lu had not eaten caramel for more than 20 years. He swallowed the caramel in his mouth without paying attention. When he reacted and saw Lu Changning making a fuss about letting the whole family take a lick of caramel, he realized that he had actually Eating alone.

Lu Changle did not let Lu Changning share the candy and coaxed her to finish it by herself, patting her chest and promising: "Changning, please stay at home and wait until my sister goes to build the river embankment to earn wages, and she will buy you a lot of candies." .”

When Old Man Lu heard the word "building river embankments", his old and aging brain was stuck for a long time, and he did not notice the key word "wage".

He has never understood why Pinglehou and the county magistrate would give them such a big discount to the refugees. Are they waiting here?

Building river embankments is a big job for officials to take advantage of to line their own pockets!

It took Old Man Lu some effort to suppress the fear and anger that surged in his heart, and asked in a lowered voice: "Changle, does the Marquis want us to build the river embankment?"

Lu Changle didn't notice her grandpa's brainstorming at all, and said happily: "Yes! Grandpa, the Marquis told me that if we want to get materials for building houses from the government, the prerequisite is to build river embankments! But! , The Marquis also said that we will be given two days to plant sweet potatoes. Tomorrow, sweet potato seeds will be distributed to each household and the land will be assigned to each household. After the sweet potatoes are planted, we will have to allocate manpower to build the river embankment. I just If I need to be able to do half of my father's work, Mr. Hou will pay me wages and take care of one meal every day."

Old Man Lu was stunned for a moment. Did he misunderstand Pingle Hou? After so many years of living, this was the first time he heard that the government would pay wages to the people for building river embankments, and would also provide them with a good meal.

Changle's father asked anxiously: "Changle, did the Marquis really say that?"

Lu Changle replied loudly: "Dad, this is what the Marquis told me personally. The county magistrate was standing next to me at the time, and he also smiled and nodded."

Changle's father suddenly felt energetic: "I'm going to rest for two days, and then I'll go straight to building the river embankment! I can get wages and have a full meal at the same time, so I definitely can't miss it!"

Old Man Lu remained silent.

He couldn't be sure for a while whether Huo Yunchao was deceiving innocent people like them into using him. It was the greedy nature of the nobles to ignore the rabbits and the hawks.

Hey, let's take it one step at a time.

If Pinglehou and the county magistrate really want them to die, what else can they do, other than accepting their fate?
