Eating big melon is so refreshing

“Crackle!” “Boom!”

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, accompanied by a loud blast that sent a pole flying into the air, the quarry started working vigorously. A group of men wearing coarse cloth clothes were digging stones with shovels, hammers, shovels, hoes and other tools. Every man put on linen gloves on both hands. Although it was always a bit inconvenient to work, these gloves protected their hands to a great extent.

These were specially purchased for them by Guangning Township Lord. The village chief was a connoisseur of valuables and repeatedly reminded them not to lose their gloves, as they were treasures that could not be bought with money.

If the excavated stones are too big, they will be hammered into small pieces, then put into sacks, tied tightly with ropes, and lifted onto a strange-looking cart. This cart is called the Ox-Head and Horse-Face, or rather, the Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse. This big guy can move by himself, and a long team only needs two people to escort it, which is so convenient.

The government purchased these stones. It was heard that the stones contained iron ore, so the people who escorted the stones were all runners from the county government.

It was unknown when a rumor spread in Huangyang County that the doll of Guangning Xiangjun was very efficacious after being consecrated. The young master of Yingguo Mansion risked his life to steal a doll. On the third day after he brought it back to the imperial capital, his eldest sister, who had been married for three years but had not been pregnant, became pregnant with twins!

People who wanted to have children came from all directions. Of course, they didn't dare to steal the dolls, but they could buy them at a high price.

I don't know which bastard spread the rumor that buying a baby is not enough, but one has to go to the Zhao family's ancestral hall to burn incense. I wouldn't know if I didn't ask, but I was shocked to find out that there are really a lot of boys in Zhaojia Village, especially in the clan of Guangning Xiangjun. She is the only girl in this generation, and the others are all boys!

Wanzi's room full of dolls were all snatched away. The clay dolls that cost less than a penny to make were sold for a hundred pennies. He felt guilty about taking the money because he was afraid that people would return the dolls.

The incense in the village was so popular that in order to prevent the ancestral hall from catching fire, two elders who walked with trembling hands sat at the door of the hall. The twenty cents a day wage made their smiles even more amiable.

The local specialties in the small town are selling like hot cakes, even the rice dumplings for the Chinese New Year are not spared, and the affordable fruit juice wines are in great demand. Even friends of many years have fallen out with each other and are fighting with each other in red faces.

The threshing ground in the town became a temporary bullring, bah, a martial arts arena. While fighting, they inexplicably broke through and advanced to the next level. These guys were howling and became even more enthusiastic about fighting.

"Xiao Chunzi, it's so lively here." Luo Xiaopang and Li Datou followed their family here to play. Seeing how lively it was, they didn't want to go home.

"It makes my blood boil. I even want to go on stage and have a fight." Li Datou was so excited that he seemed to be injected with chicken blood. He was really excited and was ready to fight.

"Brother Ada." Xiao Chunya called her distant cousin. Zhao Da and Li Datou were born in the same year and month. They were equally strong, so it would be interesting to see them fight.

"It's five cents a game, and whoever loses pays." Xiao Chunya said, "The amount of random bets here cannot exceed two cents."

Small gambling can make you happy, but big gambling can hurt your body. In the first month of the year, the county magistrate allowed gambling, so when in Rome, follow the local customs. A mere two cents is really not a big deal.

"Xiao Chunzi, who are you betting on?"

"I'm the banker." Xiao Chunya was playing with a calabash doll with a smile. Fatty Luo was a little jealous of the doll and said, "Is this the calabash brother?"

"The gourd has seven brothers. The young master of Duke Ying's Mansion took six, and I only have one left." That kid has no martial ethics. Not only did he commit fraud, but he also acted like a rogue. In the end, he even asked Grandpa Ku to intercede for him. He has all kinds of tricks, but he just can't take a beating!

"Didn't he just take one?"

"Will he leave if only one is taken away? He has six sisters, and he must take all six away." Xiao Chunya said, "I'll give this one to you, because I know you like the Calabash Brothers."

"Thank you, Xiaochunzi." Fat Luo held the Calabash Brothers carefully. The bright smile on his face was brighter than the sun.

The adults around were indifferent and thought that there was nothing interesting about the fight between two kids. However, they caught their attention as soon as they started fighting.

"I'm sure Li Datou has received a lot of instruction from your grandfather during this period. Look at his moves and strength, they are just right. If it weren't for Brother Da's breakthrough just two days ago, he really wouldn't have been able to withstand it."

"Your Grandpa Guang is much more powerful than my Grandpa. Didn't he teach you a thing or two?"

"No, Grandpa Guang said that the martial arts I practice are completely different from his. A few days ago, Brother Changqing..."

"Wait, who is Brother Changqing?" Fatty Luo interrupted immediately, looking aggrieved. "Why did you secretly meet a friend without telling me?"

"Don't you know that Wuxiang Guoshi's name is Baili Changqing?" Xiao Chunya blinked her big eyes and said, "He came to visit my house a few days ago. He and my brother got along very well and had a great chat. Then he asked me to call him brother."

The State Master Wuxiang is not to be trifled with.

Luo Xiaopang touched his nose awkwardly and said, "Is the Imperial Master so down-to-earth?"

"No, I was quite afraid of the young master when I saw him, just like a mouse seeing a cat."

That's right. Master Wuxiang is like an immortal, high above everyone else and absolutely out of touch with reality.

"Where were we talking just now? Did Ada get the guidance from your Grandpa Guang?"

"You are right. Brother Ada is Jing'er's bodyguard. Jing'er is a little weak. I think he will become a pharmacist in the future."

Zhao Jing's reputation rose rapidly. His talent in alchemy was amazing, and his reputation surpassed many veteran pharmacists. Just in case, a guard was arranged to be by his side.

The fight on the field ended, Zhao Da narrowly defeated Li Datou with a slight advantage, and the people around him applauded.

Li Datou said breathlessly, "I will come to you to learn from you again in the future."

"Aren't you busy studying? As far as I know, your teacher assigned a lot of homework. Have you finished them all?" Xiao Chunya's three consecutive questions made Li Datou pale and he immediately wilted.

Luo Xiaopang's face turned pale. He said, "I haven't finished the homework assigned by the teacher. Have you finished it?"

"Of course, if I don't finish, would I dare to come out for a stroll? The teacher's palms hurt when he hits me." Xiao Chunya said, "The questions are tricky and weird, and they are designed to dig holes. Does every teacher like to make things difficult for students? I am luckier than you. I only need to pass the exam to become a scholar and then I can let myself go. You still have to take the provincial exam, the metropolitan exam, and the palace exam. Oh my! The little fat guy became slim by the end of the exam."

"Xiao Chunzi, you specialize in hitting people."

"Want to duel?"

"I'm stupid! I can't beat you and I don't want to hurt myself." Luo Xiaopang was determined not to fall into this trap and was extremely sober.

Xiao Chunya sighed, "It's getting harder and harder to fool the little fat guy. I'm going to find something to eat to comfort myself."

Many glares flew over!
