"Haha, don't be restrained, just treat me as an ordinary citizen. Eat and drink as you please, and don't mind me." Seeing that the villagers were looking at him and didn't dare to pick up their chopsticks, the county magistrate showed a kind smile on his face.

After these words were spoken, the villagers were even more afraid to pick up their chopsticks.

You say we treat you as an ordinary citizen, but our brains won't allow it.

They are incapable of deceiving themselves.

Finally, Old Lady Liu couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Just listen to the county magistrate and don't let others affect your own meals."

The county magistrate touched his nose, he knew that Old Lady Liu was talking about him.

I also know that all this is because of what my cousin did before, which is why the people dislike him.

Now he finally came out of the secret room, but he couldn't tell the people that he was not the one who did all the things before. This was too unbelievable, and no normal person would believe such nonsense.

He originally wanted to leave after giving the red envelope, but he smelled the fragrant wine and food on the table. His hands were faster than his brain, and by the time he reacted, the food was already in his mouth.

Before I could react, the food had already been chewed and swallowed.

So delicious!

The county magistrate almost cried.

The chopsticks quickly picked up the dishes on the plate, fresh shrimp, braised pork, mushrooms in chicken sauce...

When the villagers saw that the county magistrate's chopsticks were about to dance, they knew that if they didn't eat the food, the food on the plate would be gone.

They didn't care whether the other party was a county magistrate or not. Even if the emperor came, he couldn't disturb them from eating.

The Ye and Shen families originally planned to use the wine jug to pour wine for the county magistrate, but when they saw the county magistrate's posture while eating, they did not dare to step forward.

Old Mrs. Shen had a happy smile on her face.

Now the two sons and the old man in the family are all working as cooks in Qingshui Building. Since his daughter’s cooking is so delicious, how bad can the old man be?

Seeing the villagers praising her, Old Lady Shen couldn't suppress the smile.

Before the drought occurred, Old Man Shen and his two sons were specialized in preparing banquets, and every family liked to invite them to attend any happy event.

When the wealthy families in the town wanted to entertain guests, they would specifically invite the Shen family.

There had been a drought for three years and the fields had no harvest. How could the villagers have the mind to hold a wedding? Even the wealthy families in the town had gone home to avoid the disaster.

Worrying about food every day, my cooking skills were wasted for three years.

Li Ronghua has to be mentioned when it comes to letting Old Man Shen, Shen Yang, and Shen Qian go to Qingshui Building to work.

At that time, Li Ronghua asked Shen Chulan to borrow money without intending to pay it back, but Mrs. Shen insisted on writing a promissory note, signing it and putting her fingerprints on it, making it impossible for him to deny the debt.

If my sister-in-law is cruel and takes the IOU to the county government to file a lawsuit, she will go to jail.

Li Ronghua, who was afraid and didn't want to pay back the money, came up with this trick.

You owe money and you have to pay it back, okay? Then let the brothers Shen Yang and Shen Qian go to Qingshui Tower to work and pay back the debt!

They are both your brothers. How can you bear to let them work so hard in Qingshui Building without paying them?

What Li Ronghua is betting on is Shen Chulan's heart.

Old Mrs. Shen was well aware of her actions and told her daughter that the money must be repaid, and that she only needed to give her a little salary every month to cover the family expenses, and the rest should be used to repay the debt.

Shen Chulan said that the money was originally her way of showing filial piety to her parents, so it didn't matter whether she paid it back or not.

"Lingling, why don't you eat? Even if you're not hungry, you should eat a few mouthfuls of food, otherwise your stomach will hurt. Let your mother feed you."

Old Mrs. Shen took a quick glance and saw that Li Ronghua was so busy eating that he even pretended not to see that his daughter couldn't get any food to eat. She immediately became angry.

"Haha, Mom, I just plan to fill my stomach first and then feed Lingling." Li Ronghua heard the unhappy tone of Mrs. Shen and smiled awkwardly.

Shen Lingling looked at Old Lady Shen and then at Li Ronghua. She really wanted to say that she could eat by herself and didn't need an adult to feed her.

Just as she was about to eat some rice, Li Ronghua took the spoon in her hand and scooped a large spoonful of rice to Shen Lingling's mouth.

Shen Lingling just looked at Li Ronghua, motionless, with confusion in her big eyes.

It seems to be saying, Mom, do you see how big my mouth is?

......

The county magistrate finally had his fill, but only later did he realize that he had eaten so much food.

Looking at the four empty bowls in front of him, with a few grains of rice still on them, he fell silent.

When did he become so good at eating?

It’s not that he can’t eat it, it’s just that the food is so delicious.

Yaoyao shook her two little feet, with her hair braided on her head, and asked curiously with her head tilted.

"Uncle, are you full? There's still plenty of rice in the mat!"

The county magistrate's face flushed with embarrassment, and he smiled and said, "I'm full, I'm full."

"One goose and three kinds of shredded vegetables, uncle is really amazing, he can even have a bowl of rice with shredded vegetables!"

Yaoyao used her chubby little hands to count the empty bowls in front of the county magistrate one by one. When she counted to four, she clapped her hands happily and praised the county magistrate.

At this moment, the county magistrate wanted to crawl into the ground.

"Um, where is the toilet?" The county magistrate couldn't stand what Yaoyao said for even a quarter of an hour, so he stopped a waiter from Qingshui Building.

The waiter pointed in the direction of the restroom and replied, "Go straight from here, and when you reach the courtyard of Qingshui Building, turn left."

"Thank you." After saying this, the county magistrate went straight to the toilet.

I stayed in the toilet for a while, and when I came out I remembered that I hadn't wrapped the red envelope yet. I saw a piece of red paper in a place where mushrooms were drying.

He took the red paper and quickly folded out two red envelopes.

"Congratulations on moving into your new house. I came here in a hurry and didn't prepare anything. This is my small token of my appreciation." The county magistrate walked up to Old Lady Shen and Old Lady Ye with a red envelope and said with a smile.

Old Mrs. Shen and Old Mrs. Ye were discussing something when they were startled by the sudden voice of the county magistrate.

He quickly shook his hand and said, "Ah, no, no."

How could they dare to accept red envelopes from officials?

They don’t dare, but Yaoyao dares.

Yaoyao became anxious when she saw that Old Lady Shen and Old Lady Ye refused to accept the red envelope from the county magistrate. She took a step forward and came to the side of the county magistrate. She grabbed the red envelope in the county magistrate's hand with her chubby hands.

"Thank you, uncle."

The county magistrate lowered his head and looked at the little man who suddenly jumped out to take the red envelope.

Her round and chubby cheeks, her dark eyes sparkling with starlight, her skin fair and tender with a rosy glow, her face so rosy that you can't help but want to pinch it.

He thought so and actually did it.

Looking at him with a soft and cute expression once or twice, no one can help it.

It feels smooth and soft, and is especially easy to pinch.

Yaoyao frowned, "Uncle, it's not right to touch a girl's face."

“........Ah...Oh.” The county magistrate quickly stopped his hand and felt a little guilty when he saw Yaoyao’s face which turned slightly red from being pinched.

Damn hand.

Seeing that the red envelopes had been given out, the county magistrate looked at the two red envelopes in Yaoyao's hand with reluctance.

One five taels of silver, exactly ten taels.

His only remaining ten taels of silver were gone because of a banquet...

In the carriage, Old Lady Liu was cursing.

"You even deceive children. You're really a wolf in wool!"
