Farming and reading family

It’s not that Lei wants to take advantage of others or anything, he just feels happy to have the family together.

Gao E looked at Lei's expression and smiled: "We have to build a house and live in it first, and then we can plan it slowly later."

Lei didn't quite understand what her second sister-in-law meant. It took two or three generations of hard work to build a brick and tile house in the village. It wasn't something you could build just because you wanted to.

But she didn't say anything.

She now admits that she is simple-minded and doesn't think long-term, so she listens to her sister-in-law.

Gao E meant to let Master Ma rest for two days, but after breakfast, Master Ma said he wanted to see the place where they were planning to open the kiln, so Gao E had to let Chen Jie take him to see it.

After seeing Master Ma off, Gao E returned to the yard and heard Peng Can laughing with gloating eyes.

Turning around, I saw that the younger children in the family were surrounding Peng Can and looking at the hens and chicks she bought yesterday.

When Peng Can saw Gao E looking at him, he held back his laughter and looked even more cunning.

"Just say what you want to say." Gao E said unhappily.

"You told me to speak frankly." Peng Can looked triumphant.

"Speak." Gao E wanted to see what he was holding back.

"Only two of these ten chicks are female." Peng Can laughed out loud, feeling as if he had gotten revenge.

During the Chinese New Year, he bought a skinny sow, which was disliked by Sister Gao for a long time.

Fortunately, the pig he liked lived up to his expectations. Not only did it fatten itself, but it also gave birth to a litter of piglets, all of which were fat and strong, making others envious.

I didn’t expect that Sister Gao would have this day. She bought a nest of chicks but there were only two females.

Gao E looked at Peng Can suspiciously: "How did you know that?"

Peng Can picked up a chick and showed it to Gao E: "This one is a male." He then changed to another and said, "This one is a female."

Gao E saw that he was holding two chicks upside down and they seemed a little different, but how could she be sure whether they were male or female?

But her eyes fell on the hen on the side. The hen was very protective of her chicks and would cluck and make attacking gestures if anyone approached her.

But now Peng Can was carrying its chicks around, and it acted as if it didn't see anything.

Do people with corns look down on others?

Gao E felt that Peng Can was a little weird. The sow was not raised by him, but she was very obedient in front of Peng Can.

"Didn't you see?" Peng Can looked at Sister Gao in a daze.

Gao E didn't want to pay attention to him: "I'd rather buy the male one." Then she left.

Peng Can...

So it's still his fault.

In fact, Gao E was helpless when she knew that most of them were roosters. It seemed that she was not suitable to buy these things. No wonder that family’s chicks could not be sold, and she was the one who was cheated.

Chen Yuning laughed on the side, saying that Second Aunt could be quite funny sometimes.

Peng Can looked at Yu Ning. Yu Ning stopped smiling, but her eyes and nose were still smiling.

Peng Can also laughed helplessly. Ordinary people didn’t understand these things, so he didn’t care.

After watching the chickens, Peng Can took the sheep to cut grass for the pigs, and the yard became quiet.

Gao E took Xiao Wu to continue planning the layout of the new house. She planned to draw a few more, discuss them with the craftsmen, and then confirm them with the villagers.

It was almost noon when Chen Ke brought Chang Zhinan from He Tangchun in, and Gao E hurriedly prepared a place for them to sit.

"The house is a bit messy." Chen Ke said apologetically.

This was He Tangchun's first time visiting the Chen family, but he had heard Mo Xun talk about the Chen family, and this cave house was indeed nice.

"We are just disturbing you by coming here." He Tangchun said politely.

This made Chen Ke flattered, after all, this was the official of He County.

"Please take a seat, Lord He." Chen Ke said respectfully.

He Tangchun motioned for Chen Ke to sit down as well. "I have come here for two reasons. One is that the epidemic in He County has been eradicated, and I plan to hold a banquet to thank Mr. Chen for his prescription."

Chen Ke felt a little guilty. He knew about the prescription, but it was given by his wife, and he had no idea about it at all. "This is what I should do."

"There are many things that should be done, but Mr. Chen did it." This was what He Tangchun had promised Gao E before.

"Thank you, Lord He, for your kindness." Chen Ke stood up and saluted.

"The second thing..." He Tangchun hesitated for a moment. "The hunter I brought back to your village was involved in a murder. Everyone in your village who knows about this must make a statement."

"Ah?" Chen Ke was surprised.

Gao E was also surprised.

"It's like this..." Chang Zhinan saw that they were completely unaware.

That day, Chang Zhinan felt that those people's reactions were a bit strange. After taking them back, he asked a coroner to perform an autopsy and a doctor to treat them.

As for Huang Xiaolou, who was not in any danger, he was interrogated.

According to Huang Xiaolou's confession, they were indeed hunters, but they had gathered together to catch live monkeys for the past six months. They killed two hunters because they stole other people's live monkeys.

He also raped and killed a woman in the mountains, which is a heinous crime.

Gao E listened with suspicion. She felt that this had nothing to do with them, so why did He Tangchun tell them in such detail?

Seeing that Chen Ke was filled with indignation, He Tangchun lowered his eyes and felt that Chen Ke knew nothing.

"Sir, go and invite the head of the village to come and keep us company. We'll have Mr. He stay for lunch," Gao E reminded.

"Oh, yes, yes, yes." Chen Ke nodded. "I'll be back soon." He saluted and left in a hurry.

Gao E saw that there was no one else in the courtyard. "Master He, you are describing this in such detail. Does he have any other intentions?"

He Tangchun smiled when he heard Gao E ask this: "I don't know what your relationship with Mr. Mo is, but those hunters are related to the Zhiweilou in Qinzhou City, and the Zhiweilou in Qinzhou City is very involved, so I specifically reminded you."

Gao E suddenly realized and smiled: "People like us are not even pond fish, but thank you for the reminder, Lord He."

He Tangchun nodded.

He didn't care whether Gao E was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid, he still had to remind her.

Chen Ke quickly brought Uncle Zheng over. Several men sat in the yard chatting, while Gao E cooked with the women in the family.

It just so happened that Mr. Yang and his friends had picked a lot of wild vegetables in the morning. The wild vegetables were plump and tender at this time, and they were delicious when fried with bacon after being boiled.

Lei secretly crouched through the crack of the door and looked several times, then came back and asked uncertainly, "Is that really the official in charge of He County?"

"What's wrong?" Gao E looked at Lei's unbelieving expression.

"There's no difference from a normal person." Lei felt it was a little unreal.

"He is also a human being. When your second brother becomes an official one day, will you also feel it is unreal?" Gao E joked.

Lei used to think that it was impossible for someone like her second brother to become an official, but now she no longer thinks so. Seeing that her second brother is already sitting with the county magistrate, who knows, he might really become an official one day.

He Tangchun was already prepared to eat simple meals. After all, a farmer like this couldn't offer any good food even for guests.

But before the food was served, he could smell a fragrance that was even better than what his chef cooked, which made him look forward to it.
