"Good morning, Li Zheng Song!" Old Master Ling greeted Li Zheng Song as a representative.
Song Lizheng felt a sense of disconnection when he looked at the Ling family, who were so bright and beautiful yesterday but in rags today.
Is this the legendary simplicity of the rich?
cough!
Song Lizheng collected his thoughts, greeted the Ling family, and then introduced the farmers around him: "Grandpa, this is Wang Dahu, this is Zhao Youcai, and this is..."
They are all villagers of Qingshan Village, and they heard their wives gossiping about the Ling family a lot last night.
After seeing such a subversive scene today, everyone was a little stunned.
It was only after Song Lizheng gave them a push that they finally greeted the Ling family with a silly smile.
Song Lizheng smiled and said, "They are all honest people who don't know how to talk. Don't mind it, old man."
Old Master Ling waved his hand: "How dare I? When it comes to farming, you are all seniors, and we have a lot to learn!"
A group of people were chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Zhaocai parked the ox cart aside, and the Ling family members came forward to take out the farm tools.
Several farm masters, including Song Lizheng, went into the fields with farm tools, divided into several groups, and taught the Ling family how to weed and plow the soil.
The group of people were working enthusiastically, and it didn't take long before they attracted the attention of everyone in Qingshan Village.
Everyone was quite surprised that the Ling family members went to the fields themselves, but they didn't dare to ask them why they didn't let the servants plow the soil.
The Ling family said that they were here to be punished. They could take shortcuts, but they couldn't just not do anything.
Otherwise, what is the point of the imperial edict of exile?
Shouldn't those who know their identities report them to the county government for defying the imperial authority?
In order to avoid being passive and to train future generations, all the members of the Ling family, except for the two with broken legs, as well as Ling Jiheng and Chi Xingyue, are here.
Shu Rui took steps with his short legs, trying hard to pull up the weeds.
Maybe the land is fertile, the grass can't be pulled out.
The little guy pulled it out with force, but he fell to the ground with his butt.
The moment I sat down, I was still a little confused. It took me a long time to pat my butt and get up to continue pulling weeds.
Ling Weiwei, Ling Mingyue, and Ling Minghao did the same, picking up the tender weeds.
Although they often broke the crops, no one scolded them for causing more trouble. Instead, they would ask every once in a while: "Are you tired? If you are, sit by the field and rest!"
It was the first time for the little ones to go out into the fields, and they were so excited about it that there was no way they could leave.
He shook his head and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. His originally dark and yellow face instantly turned into that of a little cat.
Ling Weiwei pointed at Shu Rui and laughed so hard that she fell backwards.
Shu Rui glanced at Ling Mingyue and Ling Minghao and concluded, "We're all the same!"
Yes, they are all the same, innocent and lively.
Chi Xingyue and Ling Jiheng didn't wake up until mid-morning. The workers were coming in and out of the yard, and even though they tried to keep their voices down, it was still quite noisy.
I don’t feel it when I’m asleep, but I can’t stand it when I wake up.
Chi Xingyue yawned as she changed her clothes. After washing up, she realized that none of the Ling family members were there.
After asking, I found out that he went to work in the fields.
Looking up at the sun, Chi Xingyue blushed for the first time.
But he still pretended to be calm and only decided to go to the fields after finishing breakfast with Ling Jiheng.
However, it would not look good to go empty-handed, so Chi Xingyue called Baozhu to help her make a pot of egg drop soup, poured it into a clean bucket, and put it on the ox cart pulled by Ling Jiheng.
Then they went to the big kitchen to get seven or eight bowls, a large iron spoon, and more than twenty pancakes. Chi Xingyue got on the cart and drove the ox cart to the fields with Ling Jiheng to deliver warmth.
At the foot of the mountain, even though the Ling family members were trying their best, they were exhausted and out of breath.
This tillage is another kind of suffering, comparable to exile.
The Ling family members had blisters on their hands, but the farmers still had expressions of being at a loss as to what was happening.
This was the scene Chi Xingyue saw when he arrived.
A group of people were listless and had no desire to live, yet they also worked hard to cultivate the land. They were just like the educated youth who had just been sent to the countryside in the literature of the period.
Ling Jiheng parked the oxcart at the edge of the field and called everyone over for some soup. The hungry people dropped their food and ran over.
Seeing that the two of them brought not only egg drop soup but also pancakes, the Ling family's stomachs started rumbling like they were playing the empty city trick.
The old man asked everyone to wash their hands in the river first and then come over to eat.
The same goes for those farm hands. You can't let them work for the whole morning without even having a bowl of soup. That's not fair, right?
Fortunately, Chi Xingyue prepared a lot and it was just enough to get a point, otherwise, it would have been a joke.
Shu Muyun drank the egg yolk soup given by his daughter-in-law, feeling very happy and praised: "Xingyue is thoughtful!"
Chi Xingyue smiled but said nothing, feeling quite guilty.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the two men said something and left.
Gu Youlian saw them coming and going, and just as she was about to make trouble, the old lady glared at her: "Even eating can't shut your mouth?"
Okay, okay, these two are favored by the old lady, you can't compare with them, and you can't afford to offend them.
Chi Xingyue sat in the ox cart and waved his hand to put the wooden barrel filled with bowls and spoons into the space.
He cleaned up the soup that had dripped onto the cart, laid out the mat, lay down on it, and sighed comfortably.
Ling Jiheng was driving outside. He took the time to glance back and saw Chi Xingyue lying like a lazy kitten. He smiled and said nothing much.
Qingshan Village is very close to the county town, and the two arrived there after walking for a while.
I went straight to Ruyi Tower, ordered a table full of food, and also ordered ten roast chickens from the boss.
"Okay, I'll ask the kitchen to prepare it and pack it up when you leave."
It was rare to see such a generous customer in such a small place. The boss was beaming with joy and personally went to the kitchen to keep an eye on it.
Chi Xingyue and Ling Jiheng sat by the window, watching the passers-by, feeling quite comfortable.
However, both of them keenly noticed that there were many more people in ragged clothes in the county town.
Suddenly, Chi Xingyue noticed a familiar face and motioned Ling Jiheng to look over.
The two of them glanced at each other calmly and then looked away, so that Yun Miao looked around and didn't notice who was peeping just now.
"Sister Yun, what are you looking at?"
Yun Miao shook his head, suspecting he was being overly suspicious. "It's okay. I'll go ask someone for directions to Dahuai Village."
Ling Jiheng and Chi Xingyue did not discuss the affairs of Black Wind Village outside. They quickly finished their meal and left Ruyi Tower with ten hot honey-roasted chickens.
Using the food box as a cover, Chi Xingyue stored the roast chicken in his space. Then, he and Ling Jiheng pulled the ox cart and went shopping with a purpose.
The two went to the pharmacy first and bought some tonics, and then went to the grocery store and bought dried goods such as kelp and dried shrimps.
Afterwards, they went to a jewelry store. Ling Jiheng, who was very rich, asked the waiter to take out the new jewelry. He picked and chose, and chose a box of exquisitely crafted silver jewelry, which only cost him a few hundred taels.
The waiter's eyes lit up when he tossed the banknote, and he hurriedly asked if the two wanted anything else.
Chi Xingyue saw a lot of jade bracelets on the counter, said something to Ling Jiheng, and started picking them out.
