Farming and reading family

Seeing that the time was almost up, Gao E and his group returned to Baotou Village.

The next day, Gao E took people to Ghost Crying Mountain to take a look. The situation was similar to what Xu Boyan said. The place where the cave used to be had become a big pit.

Judging from the exploded cross-section, the strange stone indeed only has a surface layer.

If this is true, then the number of Linglong Stone and Mogu Stone is very limited. No wonder they are so expensive that Chen Ke remembers them.

I'll talk to Fan Shiping about it later.

That day, Gao E was looking at the account book at home, and Chen Yuning and Chen Hanyue brought their children over to play.

Chen Yuning gave birth to a boy. Not long after the full month, she was still wrapped up tightly when going out.

"Excuse me, is Mrs. Chen at home?" Aniu stood at the door of Chen's house and knocked.

Everyone looked over and saw Gao E.

"Here." Gao E responded, closed the account book and stood up.

Aniu stepped aside and his parents walked to the front.

"Excuse me, who are you..." Gao E subconsciously thought that this person was the newly appointed county magistrate Cao Geng.

He has a scholarly air and a simple and stubborn nature.

"I am Cao Geng, the newly appointed magistrate of He County." Cao Geng nodded slightly.

"It's Lord Cao. Please come in." Gao E made way.

When the people in the room heard Gao E say this, they also stood up.

The Chen family has gotten used to the fact that the magistrate of He County has been replaced like a revolving lantern in the past two years and would come to the Chen family for whatever reason.

"Mrs. Chen, may I have a word with you?" Cao Geng saw so many people in the Chen family's yard.

"Okay." Gao E followed Cao Geng out.

There was a shabby carriage parked at the door. The horse pulling the carriage was a little thin, but it was well-maintained.

Cao Geng was also shocked when he saw the situation in Baotou Village. Every household had white walls and black tiles, and everyone he met along the way had a smile on their face. This was the world he had always dreamed of.

Cao Geng walked in front and Gao E followed behind, until they came to an open field on the side, which was surrounded by piles of straw and had a view of the outside of the village on one side.

He paused and thought for a long time. "I know that it was Lord Xu who brought me here to take up my post. Lord Xu once asked me to look after your family. But if you have done anything against the law, I can only act according to the law."

Gao E was stunned when she heard this. As expected of Cao Geng, he was so honest.

"Lord Cao has misunderstood." Gao E said with a smile.

Cao Geng thought he had misunderstood, but Xu Boyan's words were very direct, so he couldn't even think of misunderstanding.

But he still had to say the ugly words in advance to avoid confusion later.

"I am a good citizen and will not do anything illegal." Gao E was very sure.

Cao Geng didn't believe it. Xu Boyan's instructions gave people a different feeling.

Gao E wondered what Xu Boyan had said to Cao Geng that made Cao Geng feel like he was facing a formidable enemy.

"I know that Lord Xu is an extraordinary person and he practices extraordinary methods. I am a scholar and there are some things I cannot do." Cao Geng said seriously.

"I know." Gao E felt that Cao Geng and Chen Ke would be able to chat well. "I won't cause any trouble for Lord Cao, but there's just one thing..."

When Cao Geng heard Gao E say this, he looked at Gao E very seriously, and Gao E felt embarrassed to continue speaking.

"There are some things that Lord Cao should not interfere in unless others report them." Gao E thought about stealing someone's stone.

Cao Geng became alert when he heard Gao E's words: "What are you going to do?"

"Nothing." Gao E wondered if Cao Geng was too sensitive.

Cao Geng had to be sensitive. Xu Boyan was a man of both good and evil, and he was working with Prince Qing. If he was not careful, he would be involved in the fight for the throne, which would be a fatal matter.

"I'm a little bit of a loner, but I'm not stupid." Cao Geng looked at Gao E.

Gao E really wants to ask Lord Cao, do you know why you don’t fit in?

"Lord Cao also knows that country people sometimes have some friction, but they will not report to the authorities. As long as Lord Cao does not interfere in this situation, it will be fine." Gao E explained.

Cao Geng thought for a moment and nodded: "As long as it's not something that harms the world, I won't ask."

Gao E laughed and said, "I can't tolerate anything that is against the will of heaven and earth."

"Okay." Cao Geng agreed.

He brought Aniu to He County alone, and didn't know the situation in He County yet, so he came to Chen's house first, because he didn't want to be threatened by Chen's family later.

"I'll just say hello to Madam Chen first and then take my leave." Cao Geng said and left.

"Goodbye, Lord Chen." Gao E saluted.

Cao Geng thought that Gao was easy to deal with, so he wondered how she could be familiar with Xu Boyan.

When Gao E returned home, Chen Yuning and Chen Hanyue both looked curious.

"Second Aunt, what does that person do?" Chen Hanyue asked curiously.

"I know Lord Xu. I came to He County and came to say hello." Gao E did not reveal Cao Geng's identity.

"Oh." Chen Hanyue suddenly realized.

"Hanyue, come back for dinner." Yang shouted across the wall.

She didn’t know if it was Gao E’s illusion, but she felt that Yang’s voice was becoming more and more like her mother-in-law’s.

"I'm coming, I'm coming." Chen Hanyue carried Tian'er and left.

It was Gao E who suggested Chen Ke to give this name, so even if Yang Shi didn't like it, she had to endure it.

"Then I'll go back too." Chen Yuning stood up holding the child.

She knew that her mother was unhappy that she and Hanyue came to her second aunt's house, so she rarely came.

"Lianxin, come and see Yu Ning off." Gao E called out.

Lianxin wiped her hands and came out of the kitchen, following Yu Ning out.

Before Gao E turned around, she saw Lu Qingluo following Lian Xin out. She turned her head to look at Ji Wuyang coming from the backyard.

"What's wrong with her?" Gao E was puzzled.

"Lost again." Ji Wuyang said helplessly.

There was indeed something wrong with Lu Qingluo's martial arts, but the more important problem was that she refused to admit it.

Yu Zhao also came over with a cane.

His amputation was above the knee, so a prosthesis would be of little use.

Watching Ji Wuyang return to the house, Yu Zhao struggled to sit next to Gao E and said, "Boss, it's no use for me to be like this. I want to live in He County."

Ji Ruyi had previously bought him some properties, which were enough to ensure that he would have no worries about food and clothing until his old age.

"I'll have He Jiabei take you and pick two maids to look after you." Gao E looked at Yu Zhao. "After a while, decide what kind of business you want to make, and then we'll discuss it."

Yu Zhao was grateful that after he became disabled, his boss did not despise him, but treated him like a normal person and was even planning his future life.

"No need. The rent from my land is enough to support me." Yu Zhao said with a smile.

"You have to do something." Gao E saw that Yu Zhao was not very depressed. "Otherwise, after a long time, you will feel useless."

Yu Zhao thought about it and nodded: "Then I'll listen to the boss."

"You have your own business now, and you don't work for me, so don't call me boss." Gao E reminded.

"Then what should I call you?" Yu Zhao was embarrassed. "Should I call you Sister Gao like they do?"

"That's fine." Gao E nodded.

Yu Zhao smiled even brighter, feeling like he had a family: "Okay, from now on you will be my big sister."
