Farming and reading family

Uncle Sun is a doctor and he is concerned with different things than Old Man Yang. Maybe Uncle Sun has heard something about it.

Doctor Sun laughed. "There used to be a lot of wild animals in our area, like jackals, tigers, leopards, blind bears, sheep-headed deer, and donkey-hoofed beasts. Sometimes they even came to the village. But now that there are more people down here, those wild animals have become less common."

Gao E had no idea how dangerous this place was: "Then Uncle Sun isn't afraid?"

"What are you afraid of? Those beasts won't hurt people when they are full. Sometimes they squat at the edge of the village, take a look and then leave. We just need to prevent them from stealing children when there is no food in winter. Even adults will be afraid of those beasts." Uncle Sun didn't care.

After all, it has been many years since a wild animal has injured anyone.

Gao E nodded.

The two chatted for a while. Mrs. Hao had already picked out the herbs. Gao E said goodbye to Uncle Sun and took Mrs. Hao away.

When I got home, Lianxin also came back, carrying a bucket and washing the carriage.

Hao sorted and packaged the herbs she brought back. There were no complicated procedures for decocting the herbs; she just had to boil them for a while and drink them.

"Who wants to take medicine?" Luo Qing'er came over.

"What do you think?" Gao E looked at Luo Qing'er.

"Send it to the one next door?" Luo Qing'er suddenly realized.

Now it is Old Madam Chen who has to take medicine every day.

Gao E did not answer.

After Lianxin washed the carriage, Gao E asked Lianxin to take the medicine to Luo Dagang and stay there to look after him at night.

Lianxin agreed and left with the medicine.

Lu Hao has returned to Hui County. He is afraid of seeing Lian Xin. Now only Luo Dagang is at home.

When Lianxin came with the medicine, Luo Dagang knew that this was the black girl that Lu Hao had said had brought them back one by one. Suddenly, the grown man couldn't look her in the eye.

Lianxin didn't care at all and went straight to the kitchen, cooking while decocting medicine on a small stove.

Luo Dagang was sitting in the main room, peeking at Lianxin. She was quite tall for an average woman, but not very strong either. How could she possibly carry him back with one hand?

Lianxin looked over suddenly, and Luo Dagang subconsciously avoided her.

"The boss asked me to take care of you. If you don't want to, just tell him to replace me." Lian Xin said with a cold face.

She knew that those people disliked her appearance, and she was too lazy to be nice to those men.

Luo Dagang felt awkward when he heard Lian Xin say this: "Thank you for your hard work."

Lianxin was a little surprised, but ignored him. Maybe because they were working for their boss, this man was quite polite to her.

After Lianxin brought him the meal, Luo Dagang hesitated for a long time before tentatively speaking.

"I heard that you were the one who sent me back?" He looked a little embarrassed after asking this question.

"Yeah." Lianxin looked calm.

"Really..." Luo Dagang was still a little unsure, "One in each hand?"

"Do you think I lied to you?" Lian Xin stared at Luo Dagang.

"No, no." Luo Dagang had never felt so embarrassed in his life. "You are a woman..."

Lianxin ignored him and walked straight into the yard. There was a stone in the yard serving as a stone table. Lianxin went over, picked it up, turned it around, and then put it back steadily.

Then he glanced at Luo Dagang without blushing or beating his heart and went to the kitchen.

Luo Dagang was completely stunned, and then he ate in a hurry.

After this exchange, Luo Dagang no longer had any doubts about Lianxin, and even felt a little inferior to Lianxin.

After all, it was too hard to accept the thought of a big man like me being carried back by a woman.

Gao E called Lianxin to go to He County early in the morning. Since the decision to buy the mountain had been made, it would be better to do it as soon as possible, otherwise it would be a problem to set up boundary stakes after the ice melted.

He Tangchun's promotion was confirmed, and many local gentry came to the yamen to see him off. Gao E went to the back yamen to find Tao Meiyu first.

"You came at the right time. I'm leaving the day after tomorrow and was just about to say goodbye to you." Tao Meiyu said lazily.

"Are you ready for the journey? It's hot and cold this season, and your body temperature is high, so you won't feel cold. You must be careful." Gao E didn't expect it to happen so soon.

After all, such a long journey is a big deal, and Tao Meiyu is pregnant.

Tao Meiyu laughed.

"What are you laughing at? Did I say something wrong?" Gao E said unhappily.

"You're even more nagging than the old woman at home." Tao Meiyun looked at Gao E. "You have to pay attention to my yard. Even if I'm in Dancheng, I'll write to you and ask about it."

"I understand." Gao E knew Tao Meiyu's joke.

The two chatted for a while, and then He Tangchun was called in by the servants.

He knew the etiquette and exchanges in official circles, and now that he was leaving He County so soon, he had to deal with it.

"What's the matter, Madam Chen?" He Tangchun asked directly. He didn't think Gao E was here just to be polite.

"I want to buy a few hilltops." Gao E said directly.

He Tangchun felt that Gao E was addicted to buying these things: "I guess it's too late."

"Why?" Gao E was surprised.

"I am leaving before the end of my term, and some things need to be sealed in advance and handed over to the next county magistrate. Now there are only three days left before the files are sealed. After that, I will only do some sorting and cannot issue new documents." He Tangchun explained.

"This matter must be done while you are here." Gao E was worried about something unexpected happening.

He Tangchun smiled helplessly: "Do we have to buy that mountain?"

He County is surrounded by mountains on both sides, with one hilltop next to another. Even if a new county magistrate comes, it is impossible to make things difficult for Gao E.

"Since Madam Chen has said so, we must buy it," Tao Meiyun joked. "We still have three days left. Your Excellency, send a few more people to set up the boundary stakes tomorrow. That'll be enough time."

He Tangchun didn't expect his wife to plead for Gao E, and he looked a little embarrassed.

"I'll get the paperwork out today." Gao E looked at He Tangchun. "Just consider it a favor for using up the prescription."

He Tangchun frowned. He wasn't the kind of person who didn't understand the ways of the world, but he didn't know why Gao E was so anxious. "What's the problem with that mountain?"

Gao E sighed, "What kind of problem could there be? We farmers are afraid of the long night and the many dreams. What if something no one wants today is fought over and snatched away by others tomorrow? People like us can't compete with others."

He Tangchun laughed when he heard this. She couldn't compete with others?

The truth is that no one knows how they fell into her hands.

"I think Gao E is right." Tao Meiyu agreed deeply.

Gao E looked at Tao Meiyun gratefully and said, "Master He has already issued the documents today. Once the official seal is affixed, the matter is settled. The boundary stakes have been erected, the location and the money have been filled in. It is not against the rules."

He Tangchun thought Gao E's thoughts were simple: "Tell me, where have you taken a fancy to now?"

"So it's the eleven hills behind Bawei Village." Gao E said directly.

He Tangchun almost choked without drinking water. Gao E's appetite is really getting bigger and bigger. She bought eleven mountains in one go?

Tao Meiyun was calm. The hilltops were not valuable. Half of the hilltops with nice scenery around Dancheng belonged to the Tao family. "You want to buy a hilltop to cut wood and make charcoal?"
