country small landowner

The return trip was easy. Although he liked the guards that Brother Qi had given him before, it was obvious that life in the country was not suitable for them. With them around, Qi Bao also felt awkward in his heart.

Because of this matter, Ah Wu regretted it a lot. After all, he wanted to find a master who could cook and make the meals so delicious. The most important thing was that the master would give him the meals. It's too difficult.Although it is said that General Qi has not treated him badly, but isn't this different!

He dares to eat ten bowls of rice in front of the young master without running away, how dare he face General Qi?Even if he dared, Ah Da would not agree, although Ah Da would bring him a lot of extra food after each meal to ensure that he would not be hungry.If this was in front of the young master, he could have had ten bowls directly and heartily.

In fact, Ah Wu still has some complaints about not being able to eat ten bowls of rice happily.

With a light car and simple riding, Qi Bao was really a little afraid of this huge capital, so he didn't want the things that Brother Qi gave him, so he ran away with Xu Jibai.However, in fact, Qi Bao regretted it after running for less than two hours. There was no snacks in the car, so what to do to pass the time.

"Hey, Xiaobai, passing by the town, we must buy more things to save, otherwise it would be too boring to hurry."

Xu Jibai had already expressed Qi Bao's inner thoughts, and now he was really proud, no matter what Qi Bao said, he could only nod quickly in response, he was really a good man.

After the two left the boundary of Shangjing, they just stopped and walked. When they saw interesting places, they would go for a two-day stroll. When they encountered delicious food, they had to taste it. This is Qi Bao’s favorite, and he must not miss it. of.The one-and-a-half-month journey took them three months. Fortunately, when they arrived at the station along the way, they sent news to Brother Qi and his family. If it was Brother Qi, he would have sent someone to look for them.

After more than three months, the two finally returned to Daliushu Village.As soon as I entered the village, what I saw was Wang's conservatory. The glass cover on the roof was wide open. Part of the sun's light was reflected on the wall through the glass, and part of it was reflected on the road. Shake once.

Qi Bao nodded quite satisfied. It seems that what his Xiaobai has done can be called a career. No matter what the result is, the process is still quite gratifying.

Qi Bao put his fleshy arms on Xu Jibai's shoulders, "Xiaobai, you said it's already summer, and all kinds of melons and fruits have come down, how about we plant some melons in the greenhouse? "

"Okay, let's not point at this to make money, of course we can plant whatever you like."

"I heard that there is a kind of muskmelon in the west, which is very sweet. When you get some seeds, let's plant a few and try."

"Okay!" Xu Jibai happily replied.

Qi Bao looked at Xu Jibai speechlessly for a while, this person has been in such a state for a while, he smiled and said yes to anything he said.Could it be that he did something to be sorry for himself, Qi Bao gritted his molars and thought.

When they came back, they notified the head of the family in advance, Qi Bao can't do something that surprises people, he wants to be comfortable, the family knows that he is back, they will give him good food, and they will greet him Caring about him, he likes this feeling.

Qi Bao secretly pinched Xu Jibai's neck, let out an arrogant "hum", and got back into the car.

Xu Jibai touched his nose, did he make Qi Bao angry again? He didn't do anything bad.Recently, because of the rush, he has been quite restrained, and Qi Bao also obeys his advice, so why is he angry again? Sure enough, he doesn't understand what Qi Bao is thinking.

He rushed home without stopping, but was stopped halfway.Of course, it can't be said that they were stopped, at most, they wanted to say hello to Qi Bao, and stopped the carriage politely.

Xu Jibai didn't know the man on the road, so he had to call Qi Bao out.

Qi Bao was lying on his stomach humming, he was going home soon, so the two of them didn't rush to stay in the store last night, but directly stayed in the car.Naturally, Xu Jibai lost his usual scruples about being in the inn, and it was a lot of trouble. It's no wonder Qi Bao just wanted to lie on his stomach in the car.

Qi Bao poked his head out and saw the people standing under the car, he frowned in disgust, and became impatient to speak, "It's you, we are in a hurry to go home, if you have anything to say, hurry up."

Tao Qiang rubbed his hands, and said rather awkwardly: "Cousin, hehe..."

Qi Bao curled his lips, "Say something quickly, don't get in the way."

Tao Qiang had never been able to look up to Qi Bao before, he thought he was someone who had read sage books and would be a master in the future, and Qi Bao, a small country rich man, was not even worthy to carry his shoes.

He originally had great confidence in himself, and his knowledge was also praised by Zhang Xiucai in the village. He will definitely be able to get the first place in this provincial examination, and he will also be a scholar.You know, if you become a scholar, you can have [-] acres of tax-free farmland.Although there is not much land, the food grown in that field is really owned by the family.

That's why he yelled at Grandma to separate from Big Brother before referring to it years ago.His grandparents and his elder brother are all country people, ignorant and uneducated. If he is selected as a scholar, he will have tax-free land and let them know. When the family is separated in the future, he will suffer a disadvantage.

His grandma had never paid much attention to his elder brother. His elder brother had a stupid mouth and his elbows were always turning outwards. Who said that "the parents are still there, so the family is not separated", but under his insistence, the grandparents still separated the family.

Naturally, his grandmother and uncle lived with him. The family had a total of less than [-] acres of land, five acres were allotted to his elder brother, and the rest belonged to him and his grandmother.Who said that it is a disadvantage to support grandparents by themselves, but they are also old, and they can live for a few years in total. While they are capable now, they can still help themselves for a few years. If they are old and useless, they can’t Saying that they won't support them, at least there is still a mouthful of porridge and rice.

Tao Qiang's calculations were tricky, Tao Yong was simple and honest, and his parents all said that they had passed away with the second child, Tao Yong was not wordy, and after two days of tidying up, he brought the title deed of his five acres of land, plus his own Clothes and daily necessities, followed the little brother who had engaged in a kiss.

Tao Yong can be regarded as the son-in-law who came to visit, and there are only two younger brothers in the younger brother's house, and his parents are also there. Although they don't like the way the Tao family behaves, they still like Tao Yong very much. .In particular, Tao Yong is still the little brother himself, and he is a grandparent, so it is hard to say anything else.

Originally, he thought that his younger brother would suffer a loss when he came to Tao's house, but now Tao Yong directly joined his family, which saved a lot of trouble, and the family was very happy.Tao Yong started with his property again, and there was a brother who was not too young and was waiting to be married. Tao Yong's father-in-law family directly paid for the money, and gave Tao Yong and his brother the money in the open space separated by a wall. I bought a tile-roofed house, although the house is not big, it is better than a single courtyard, and I feel comfortable.

This little brother's family is not a fool, and I am afraid that the Tao family will regret it again. Once this family gets involved, it will be difficult to get rid of it, so I immediately found Li Zheng and made a written statement, saying that Tao Yong was married to their family. Yes, Tao's family didn't send out any gifts, only Tao Yong brought the five acres of land he got from the family.If there is something wrong in the future, the Tao family can't come to this little brother's house to make trouble, otherwise the Tao family will be punished.

Although Tao Yong is a simple and honest man, he is not stupid. Seeing that this is the family who sent him out of the house directly, he gave a few acres of land and said nothing about dividing the family. Just a few acres of land and worked hard for several years There are also people in the family who looked down on him before, and Tao Eryi pushed him out, and he really kicked him out. He wants to see how Tao Er respects them.

Let's not talk about Tao Yong's little thoughts, just talk about Tao Qiang.

Tao Qiang stopped Qi Bao's carriage, so he wouldn't just say hello for no reason.He took part in the Boys' Examination in March. At first, he thought it was a surefire thing. After taking the Boys' Examination, he returned home and began to prepare for the Township Examination.The township examination will be taken in May, and if you pass the examination, you will be a scholar.

Tao Qiang has always thought highly of himself, he didn't even look at the announcement of the rankings, and went directly to the county with his things in May.I didn't know that before I entered the door, I was stopped by someone.He hadn't participated in the boy test before, so naturally he didn't know.Those who have passed the boy's examination are called Tongsheng, which is actually equivalent to obtaining the qualification to participate in the provincial examination, but the actual effect is not great.

After passing the boy's test, the school officer will give the boy a name tag. With the name tag, he can sign up for the provincial exam. The name tag is also a pass to enter the exam room. Tao Qiang has never passed the boy's test, and he doesn't know the rules of the test, so he just He made a joke and was thrown out by the yamen responsible for guarding the gate.

Tao Qiang returned to the village in disgrace, and only then did he understand the twists and turns from Zhang Xiucai.

"Cousin," Tao Qiang said with a smile that could almost be flattering, "I haven't seen you for so long, Dad asked me to come and see you."

"No need," Qi Bao rolled his eyes, "I can't bear this, I have nothing to do with your Tao family, I can't bear your family's concern for me."

Tao Qiang glanced sheepishly at Xu Jibai who had been silent all this time. He had heard about the relationship between Qi Bao and this person, but he was not sure. How comfortable can there be.

"Cousin, don't say that, no matter what you say, we are still a family!"

"Just say anything, we are still in a hurry to go home, we don't have time to chat with you here." Qi Bao felt that if this man said a few more words, he would be able to spit out the food of the previous night, which was really enough to make him laugh. Disgusting.

Tao Qiang smacked his lips, "Hehe, I have nothing to do, I just saw it, so I came to say hello to you."

"No need Tao Qiang, we don't know each other well. Although my grandma's surname is Tao, she was sold to Qi's family by your Tao family, so don't tell me whether I am related or not. You mentioned me. I feel disgusting. Also, don’t come with my cousin. As I said before, I, Qi Bao, have nothing to do with your Tao family, so don’t try to flatter me when you see me. I'm flattering, don't talk too much. Okay, Xiaobai, don't stay here, let's go home quickly, Grandma Zhou must have cooked delicious food for us, I've been hungry for a long time .”

"Hey, good." Xu Jibai raised his whip, glanced at Tao Qiang and smiled apologetically, "Please move the place, this horse is an animal after all, I don't have any eyesight, so I'll touch it once it's running You are not well."

As he spoke, he flicked the whip, and the carriage immediately moved.Tao Qiang originally wanted to say something more, but was startled by the galloping horse, and hurriedly jumped aside, Xu Jibai ignored him at all, and drove the carriage away.
