Outside the capital, Xiangliu Village is under the jurisdiction of Yongchang County.
Zhou Chen was wearing a coarse linen robe, a turban on his head, and holding a hoe in his hand.
Facing the yellow earth and back to the blue sky.
I regretted it for the 328th time already. Why did he bring up the welcoming banquet yesterday?!
Knowing that Uncle Lu hated attending this kind of banquet, why did he even bring it up?!
Uncle Lu's gratitude to him was really too much for him to bear!
I still remember what my mother said before I left the palace: "I was wondering why you came back so early yesterday. It turns out it was Yuanshan who came back. I was being too self-righteous. Since Chen'er likes being with Yuanshan, then follow your Uncle Lu and study hard. Go ahead. I won't keep you any longer."
Zhou Chen only felt more hopeless.
Mother, why don’t you keep me here for a while?
Who said that I like Uncle Lu?
Uncle Lu is the devil!
The more Zhou Chen thought about it, the more he wanted to cry.
He was wrong, he was really wrong. He just wanted to invite Uncle Lu to have dinner, but he didn't expect such a big retribution!
In the palace, he was an emperor respected by everyone, and his every word and action represented the dignity of the royal family.
But here, he is nothing.
Oh, he is a farmer without human rights. He plants the land and sows the seeds, but the harvest has nothing to do with him.
And his uncle Lu was lying leisurely on the recliner at this moment, holding a teapot in his hand, crossing his legs and drinking tea.
Don't forget to poke his heart from time to time:
"Chen'er, if you can't hold on, let's go back. You're a young man who can't lift anything, you're a rich man, you're dressed in fine clothes and fed with delicious food, how can you compare with a country boy who can skillfully use a hoe and eat only chaff and vegetables? If you can't endure the wind and sun, no one will laugh at you."
Zhou Chen: ...
"Uncle, would you like to lower the curve of your mouth?"
If he believed a word Uncle Lu said, he would be stupid!
Lu Yuanshan couldn't help laughing any more:
"Oh, uncle has his own thoughts, and he can't suppress them. But, Chen'er, if you want to continue working, you have to hurry up. It's getting dark. If you can't even finish hoeing this half acre of land, you won't have anything to eat today."
Zhou Chen: (???)
Bending over and grunting.
Huh~
My hands hurt!
So hungry.
Woo woo woo, he wants to go home~
By dusk, it was almost dark.
The people working in other fields had already gone home, but Zhou Chen was still working hard in the fields.
"Chen'er, you do it first. I'm old, so I'll go back to eat and sleep. Don't worry, don't be afraid. I'll let your uncle Tong and the others take turns staying here with you."
Lu Yuanshan stood up, took his teapot, put his hands behind his back, and walked slowly towards the sunset.
I met other people from the village from time to time on the way and went over to chat with them.
Zhou Chen: ...
Is it to supervise him? !
Uncle Tong and the others are all Uncle Zhou’s deputy generals, and they are sworn brothers with my father!
Now, apart from the Queen Mother, they only listen to Uncle Zhou!
Uncle Tong stood there with an upright figure, firm and serious, like a pillar supporting the sky, as if nothing in the world could affect his mission.
Zhou Chen was in tears.
I can only continue to grunt.
After a lot of effort, and after the three deputy generals had taken their turns, Zhou Chen finally finished hoeing the land.
If he hadn't had a hoe in his hand, he would have collapsed from exhaustion.
In the end, I had to rely on Uncle Feng to support my arm before I could go back.
This is a small farmyard.
Uncle Lu was sitting on his recliner, drinking tea and talking to the other two uncles.
Seeing him limping back, Uncle Lu did not hide the gloating on his face at all:
"Hey! Our precious Emperor is back? Oh, it's late now and there's no food at home. Your Majesty will have to go hungry all night."
Zhou Chen almost cried: "Uncle Lu, I'm hungry~"
Lu Yuanshan laughed and said, "Chen'er, go ask the villagers how many people haven't eaten yet. If more than half of them haven't eaten yet, Uncle Lu will prepare food for you right away! Uncle Lu will ask Uncle Tong to make it himself!"
Lieutenant General Tong: ...
"Just teach the child if you want to. Why are you dragging me down with you?!"
"Isn't it because your cooking is delicious? Give the child an incentive." Lu Yuanshan was not polite at all.
Deputy General Tong rolled his eyes: "Why don't you do anything?!"
Lu Yuanshan just looked at him quietly.
Deputy General Tong quickly understood three words from his eyes -
Are you sure?
Deputy General Tong was silent.
Thinking of Lu Yuanshan's craftsmanship...
I'm afraid this will have the opposite effect!
Zhou Chen was indeed inspired.
He knew that Uncle Tong had always been a good cook, and with his father's permission, he also learned a few tricks from the imperial chef.
I heard that if Uncle Tong had not become sworn brothers with the Emperor and been tricked by him into becoming a general, he would have wanted to be a chef in a restaurant.
His eyes lit up and he immediately felt full of energy: "Okay! I'll go right away!"
He immediately threw away the hoe in his hand and ran out excitedly.
It’s so late.
Normally, by this time when he was reviewing memorials, the palace maids would have urged him to eat and take care of his health.
Besides, everyone in the fields has been back home for so long, they must have eaten!
He will be able to eat the meal cooked by Uncle Tong soon!
happy!
Zhou Chen enthusiastically began his journey to find the answer.
In the yard, as soon as Zhou Chen left, Lu Yuanshan waved and said, "Go, go, go back to sleep."
As he said this, he yawned.
