Farming and reading family

Gao E laughed when she heard this. It seemed that Lu Qingluo was not only thinking about revenge, but also about love and hatred.

"What are you laughing at?" Lu Qingluo said dissatisfiedly, "Don't cry when the time comes."

"If you lean on something and that thing falls, you will naturally cry when you get hurt. But if you don't lean on anything, who can make you fall?" Gao E said indifferently.

When Lu Qingluo heard Gao E say this, he looked at her and turned away, thinking that this woman was just being stubborn.

The two chatted idly, mostly Lu Qingluo asking about Gao E, but Gao E didn't ask about Lu Qingluo.

When it got dark, all the people who were working came back, but Lu Qingluo went out instead.

After dinner, everyone sat in the yard to rest and chat. Chen Qing and Chen Jie came over to talk to Gao E about the progress of the village.

"What I'm worried about now is where to store the summer harvest." Chen Qing felt that this needed to be prepared in advance.

"The school should be completed by summer harvest, right?" Gao E speculated.

"Almost." Chen Jie nodded. "The bricks and tiles are all fired. If not, we can get more people to go to the school."

"But newly built houses will get damp," Chen Qing worried. "Besides, it rains a lot in the summer."

Gao E thought for a moment and said, "Then let's burn more charcoal in the kilns and dry out the house."

All the previous grain was bought by Gao E, so there was nothing wrong with keeping it at Chen's house. But this time it was collected by the villagers, and if it was kept at Chen's house, the villagers might have objections.

Besides, the staple food harvested in summer is relatively scarce, and the vegetables are not convenient to store.

"Is it possible to use carbon drying?" Chen Qing had never tried it.

"Yes." Gao E confirmed.

After the three of them finished discussing this, Chen Qing and Chen Jie left, and Lei sat over.

"Where is Qingluo?" Lei liked Lu Qingluo very much.

"He must have gone out for a walk." Gao E smiled helplessly. "Where's your father?"

"I'm in a bad mood today because I bought the iron ingots." Lei sighed.

"I bought the iron ingots, but I'm still in a bad mood?" Gao E was puzzled. "Why?"

"The quality is too poor." Lei didn't quite understand this. "My father said that it would be damaged a lot after being beaten, so the price of the beaten things would definitely be expensive."

Gao E suddenly realized: "It's okay, it's what we use among ourselves, so it doesn't count."

"That's a loss." Lei was unwilling.

"Then I'll take a look later. If it doesn't work, I'll buy some back next time I go to Qinzhou City."

When Lei heard about going to Qinzhou City, she became excited: "Can I go?"

Gao E looked at Lei's belly: "What do you think?"

"I think so." Lei hasn't been there yet.

Gao E smiled helplessly: "When conditions are better in the future, you can go whenever you want."

Lei thought it was impossible. How many times could a person go to Qinzhou City in his lifetime?

Lu Qingluo didn't come back until everyone in the yard went to bed. Gao E wondered if Lu Qingluo had left.

She thought about it and went out to look for him to make sure whether she should leave the door open for Lu Qingluo.

As a result, when I got outside, Lu Qingluo ran over as soon as I called him twice.

"What's your name?" Lu Qingluo looked like he was afraid of being discovered.

"How could you have heard me if I hadn't told you to?" Gao E thought it was her fault. "What were you doing?"

"Nothing." Lu Qingluo said as he walked into the yard.

Gao E glanced in the direction of the bamboo forest and thought that as long as the person was not lost, it would be fine.

Lu Qingluo went to see Old Man Lei working as a blacksmith.

She didn't know what was so interesting about it. She just watched Old Man Lei hammering the iron ingot, sparks flying off it. She just watched.

Maybe she doesn't understand the word decompression yet.

Early in the morning, Father Lei came to the Chen family carrying an iron ingot: "Chen Jie, Chen Jie..."

Lei ran out in a hurry: "Dad, why are you looking for Chen Jie?"

"Let him go to He County with me. This iron ingot needs to be made into this shape before it can be used. Look how much smaller it is." Lei Ming said angrily.

Lei looked at the iron ingot in her father's hand and knew that her father was starting to argue again: "That iron ingot is from the government. What can I say even if I go and find it?"

"You can't cheat people like this." Lei Ming was dissatisfied.

Gao E came out after hearing their conversation. From what Old Man Lei said, there must be something wrong with the iron ingot.

"People should not fight against officials." Lei comforted her father, "Dad, just hit him a few more times and it will be fine."

"Is this a problem of hammering? The price difference is huge." Lei Ming insisted.

Gao E walked over and took a look. The quality of the iron ingot in Lei Lao's hand was indeed quite different from the one he bought. "Were all the iron ingots of this quality before?"

"Almost." Lei Ming nodded.

"Chongqing is right. This iron ingot is government-owned. If we rashly question it, we might get into trouble. I'll go back and see what's going on. Father Lei will have to hammer it harder." Gao E said with a smile.

After hearing what Gao E said, Lei Ming hesitated for a moment and no longer insisted.

This iron ingot was bought by the Chen family, and the things made from it will also be used by Baotou Village. He will just work hard for a while, and it would be bad if it causes trouble for the Chen family.

"What if there's an unscrupulous blacksmith who just hammers away and makes farm tools? That would be cheating the common people," Lei Ming said helplessly.

"Yes, they are all too black-hearted." Gao E agreed.

Lei coaxed him again, and Master Lei left.

Gao E thought about this matter. The iron ingots were supervised by government officials, but such a thing happened. This meant that there was an internal problem. If she investigated the matter, she would be going against the government.

Regardless of whether they are government officials or not, as long as there are benefits, people will flock to them. It has always been like this and it is not something she can control.

Thinking of the end, I just sighed and laughed at myself.

Li Quan stayed at home for a few days before going out. During these days, he sent people to inquire and found that Chen Ke was indeed not at home.

He first sent people to the yamen to make arrangements. Although the people below had made arrangements, they still could not see the new Lord He. This meant that even if his family could live better in prison, they could not be rescued.

Even though he was a well-known figure in He County, he still had to behave himself when he saw the county magistrate.

As for his job in Qinzhou City, no matter how high-sounding it sounds, it is not presentable and he has no connections in official circles at all.

Just when he didn't know what to do, he suddenly remembered that the richest man Chen wanted his son to become a disciple of Master Guan.

Master Guan also wanted to accept a student named Jin Chao from Chen Ke.

He thought that this matter had some potential. If he could persuade the richest man Chen to ask Chen Ke for the Jin Dynasty, and Chen Ke refused to give it to him, the richest man Chen would definitely not give up.

If this is accomplished, he can also ask the richest man Chen for help. After all, the richest man Chen is the head of the gentry in the county, and it would at least give some face to Lord Congratulations to come forward.

This is a good deal no matter how you look at it.

He did what he said and found Chen Xiangyue that night on the pretext of helping Chen Tao become Master Guan's disciple.

"Do you have a way to get my son to become Master Guan's disciple?" Chen Xiangyue thought that Master Guan had rejected his face in public, so what could Li Quan do?

Others think that Li Quan is doing well outside, but Chen Xiangyue doesn't care. It's not that you can act like a decent person just by going to the state capital.

"Since I have found Mr. Chen, there must be a way. It just needs a roundabout way." Li Quan said with a flattering look.

Chen Xiangyue lowered his eyes and asked, "What's the roundabout way?"
