Time Travel: Remarrying a Little Wolf Dog

Su Yan thought so too. She said to He An, "From the news we received, it seems that a large area was affected by the disaster this year."

"The imperial court should be even more short of food in order to provide disaster relief."

"The county magistrate was able to use his connections to reduce the county's taxes by half."

"This county magistrate is a pretty good official."

Know how to consider the people and serve the people.

In ancient times, such officials were rare.

This is undoubtedly great news for everyone who has suffered severe production cuts this year.

So after hearing the news, many people laughed excitedly on the spot, and some even ran to the gate of the county government to kowtow.

The county magistrate, who was working in the county government office, was a little surprised when he learned that there was an endless stream of people coming outside to kneel and express their gratitude.

After a while, he woke up as if from a dream, and said to his left and right, "I just did what a county magistrate should do, but I was loved by the people so much. I feel ashamed!"

The left and right said, "Your Excellency's actions not only saved their lives, but also saved their family from being torn apart by the disaster."

"I just came here to kneel and express my gratitude. Your Excellency deserves it."

The county magistrate shook his head and said nothing.

These people thanked him for his efforts to reduce taxes for the people.

But he really knew that the purpose of doing this was for himself.

He just wanted to build a reputation as a man who loved his people like his own children and show off in front of the current virtuous emperor.

How can I deserve the pure gratitude from these people?

He couldn't tell these things to his subordinates, so he could only go home and talk to his wife.

My wife was born into a noble family and grew up reading books of sages.

Each of them has his own opinions on many things, and they always had things in common in the past.

However, he did not expect that this time, his wife did not agree with his guilty conscience and was quite disapproving.

"What can a bunch of fools know?"

"Besides, no matter what you think, they have gained actual benefits, so why can't you deserve their gratitude?"

The county magistrate: "... It's not that I don't deserve their gratitude, but compared to their pure gratitude, I was only thinking about other things. I was indeed a bit mean, not a gentleman."

The magistrate’s wife curled her lips. Gentleman?

What is the use of a gentleman?

In this world, as long as you have power, who dares not to say that you are a gentleman?

Since ancient times, Confucian teachings such as gentlemen and villains have only been used by those in higher positions to better restrain those below them.

Fu Meng (the county magistrate) was born into a poor family after all. He became stupid from reading too much and didn’t understand this principle.

The county magistrate not only understands, he has worked his way up from the bottom and no one else understands that well!

But understanding does not mean that you can completely ignore it and feel at ease.

Although he also feels that Confucian culture is restrictive.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't agree with these cultures.

You can use these Confucian ideas to persuade others.

Or use these ideas as a banner to do something.

But you can't completely lose your respect for these cultures.

One day, when people in the world really think that Confucianism's "loyalty, filial piety, fraternal love, courage, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness" are a joke, then how selfish, cold and bottomless this world will become.

However, seeing the disdain on his wife's face, he didn't say anything more to her.

Of course, at this time he did not think that his wife was a person without moral bottom line, he just felt uncomfortable with her words.

He always played the role of a subordinate in front of this wife who married down from his parents' family, and this time he did not refute her.

But I didn't feel like saying anything more, so I just tidied up and rested.

The county magistrate and his wife parted unhappily, but the people of the county were delighted.

Although the harvest is bad this year, we still have to pay half the tax.

If we all work hard, we can still make it to next year.

The He family was also very happy.

He An came back from the shop to eat at noon. He held Dudu in his arms and said to Su Yan, "Anyway, at least we can take a break."

"You didn't see it the other day. When it was time to pay taxes, the people walking on the street had empty eyes."

"It's scary silent."

This is the case for people who make a living by farming. Their food, clothing, housing and transportation all depend on the land.

The ability to resist risks is very poor.

A natural disaster can wipe out the wealth they have accumulated over decades.

Worse still, some people become displaced and their families are broken up.

Of course, their county has always had good weather.

The disaster we encountered this year was not serious enough.

But people are definitely panicking.

Now that the court has exempted half of the taxes, it can not only allow everyone to breathe a sigh of relief, but also make everyone feel more at ease.

Su Yan agreed with He An's words, "Everyone can calm down and make plans for the future."

For example, tighten your belt, or try to find a job, and buy some food.

Otherwise, you can go up the mountains and down the rivers, there will always be something to eat.

Even if you can't fill your stomach, you can always survive.

Su Yan stretched her shoulders which were a little sore from holding the child, walked to the door and looked up at the sky.

"The summer harvest is over. I hope God will be more merciful next year and bring good weather and good harvests."

He An also came over holding Dudu and looked at the sky with Zhao Wan.

The sky was clear and cloudless at this time.

The blazing red sun hangs high in the sky.

"Weather like this this year is rare in many years, and next year will definitely be better."

Su Yan nodded and said no more.

She turned around and saw that Dudu was already asleep, so she asked He An to put her on the bed.

"If everyone holds her every day, she will develop bad habits."

"When she goes to sleep, she has to be held in her arms."

He An hesitated, "She just fell asleep, putting her on the bed will wake her up."

Su Yan thought it was nothing. "It's okay if she wakes up. If it happens a few times, she will get used to it."

"We can't let her develop such a dependent mentality."

Seeing that Su Yan insisted, He An could only walk to the bed and gently put down the sleeping Dudu.

As expected, as soon as he touched the bed, Dudu shuddered.

Before he even opened his eyes, he opened his mouth and started crying.

He An subconsciously reached out to pick her up, but was stopped by Su Yan who had anticipated this.

"The first few times, you'll always cry."

"Don't hug her every time she cries."

After saying that, she sat down on the edge of the bed.

He patted Dudu's shoulder gently, but did not pick her up as she wished.

She thought that Dudu would just stop crying after a while.

Unexpectedly, this little guy, although small in stature, has such a big temper.

Just like that, with his eyes closed and his little mouth open, his two little hands placed on both sides of his little head.

Just kept crying.

It's no different from the magic sound that pierces your ears.

And as she cried, her little face began to turn slightly blue.

Su Yan knew that this was because she cried too hard, forgot to breathe, and was lacking oxygen.

She was helpless with the little girl's crying, so she had to pick her up when her face turned even paler.

Let her take it easy.

When you feel the time is about right, let it go.

As expected, Dudu started crying again.

Su Yan repeated the previous steps.

For the next three or four days, Su Yan did nothing else but this.

She is also a patient person.

He was not impatient with Dudu's crying.

She just stayed quietly by the side, feeding Dudu when she was hungry, changing her diaper when she had a poop, and putting her on the bed when she wanted to sleep.

During this time, Dudu was sleeping, and she was sleeping too.

Dudu woke up, and she also woke up and opened her eyes.

A sleeping tug-of-war between mother and daughter has officially begun.
