Porridge and side dishes [farming]

The county magistrate dismantled the stage and said: "If you are lazy, just call it lazy. There is no need to use those excuses? There is no sooner or later for reading and literacy, but it is just a matter of literacy. When do you pick it up? There are some that can teach you and some that are afraid of not having the opportunity to learn?"

Li Ji rubbed his nose, as a tacit consent to the words of the magistrate.

Go over and look at the book in Little Potato's hand.Li Ji is illiterate, he just looked at the many words on the tree, and said with a smile: "I can read books with so many words, so I can see that I have learned a lot."

After being praised so much, Little Tudou felt a little embarrassed, and said, "I dare not say it. I can't understand two of the three sentences, so I have to trouble the adults to clarify."

"It's your good fortune to be able to explain to the adults, so study hard." Li Ji wanted to say that he might be pointed at at home in the future. He was afraid of putting pressure on Little Tudou, so he simply swallowed the words that came to his lips and continued to talk to the county magistrate. chat.

Serve the dishes to the magistrate.There are Li Ji's and Er Gouzi's.Anyway, it was made by the two of them.

Separately gave two bowls to Xiao Tudou, let him eat more first, and read a lot when his stomach is full.

"Seeing that it's snowing, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to come here again in the future. If we meet again, it will be spring next year." The county magistrate sighed.

Er Gouzi rarely took the initiative to speak: "No. It snows, and there is a way to walk in snow. I have lived on this mountain for many years. I know how to walk."

Er Gouzi's words are not bragging. If there is anyone who understands this deep mountain and old forest, Er Gouzi is probably the only one who can walk around this mountain like a back garden.

The magistrate shook his head and said: "Winter is more dangerous. Those hungry beasts will die if there is little food. In winter, there are few prey. When they see something that can be eaten, why don't you chase it desperately? Right now, before the snow falls, can you two It would be quite satisfying to come and accompany me more.”

The magistrate added a piece of meat to his mouth.The skills of both of them are not as good as the serious cooks around the county magistrate, but they have more of a taste of home.

The taste mixed with emotion will also become endless aftertaste.

Li Ji smiled and said: "If it's really winter, basically there will be no other troubles. Even if there are, they will only come from ferocious beasts. Even if you are not here, I believe it will make no difference. Or you can go directly Let's go there. You and Er Gouzi can get along more."

The county magistrate shook his head: "Why don't I want to? It's just that I am in this camp, not only as a decision-maker, but also as a pillar of this camp. The people don't know anyone else, they only know me. Only when I am with them can I feel at ease. If I go to you I went there to enjoy the blessings, I'm afraid there will be other troubles, and we may not know it yet."

Li Ji nodded, and understood the meaning of the magistrate: "You also know that I have little knowledge and little consideration."

"You can't say that. It was your idea to solve the problem of the rebels going up the mountain. It can only be said that you think in a different direction, but you are smart." The county magistrate praised Li Ji, Look at Little Tudou, "Recently, this child has grown up, and it has saved me a lot of boredom. I just realized that it is very interesting to see such a child grow up a little bit."

Li Ji is so smart, where can't you hear the overtones of this sentence?

Li Ji wanted to say that the magistrate could marry another one and have another one, but he couldn't say it when the words came to his lips.He remembered how the county magistrate was crying on Li Yan's coffin.If these words were really said, it would be too profane to the county magistrate's feelings for Li Yan.

But it's impossible for him to really mess with Er Gouzi to make a child out for the county magistrate to raise.If you want to blame, you can only blame the magistrate for not having this fate, because he happened to miss all the growth time of Er Gouzi.

"Children are hope. Watching children grow up is indeed a very happy thing." Li Ji lowered his voice and did not look at the expression of the magistrate.

The magistrate waited and saw that Li Ji had no intention of continuing.Then he sighed and said: "I say so, don't think about it. You will reach my time one day. When you are young, children are a burden. If you don't have children, you can fly there wherever you want. Nothing to worry about. But when you are really tired from flying, you will always feel that something is missing when you look back. Let alone such a thing as a filial son on the sick bed, it is also a good thing to have more people to accompany you."

Li Ji didn't answer, Er Gouzi felt Li Ji's emotions, put his hand on Li Ji's shoulder, and said, "We don't need children, we are fine."

Er Gouzi has said that, what else can the magistrate say?

The magistrate of the county said: "Don't think too much about it, just take it as me. When did you have this thought, it would be good to bring a child to support. I also have a grandson to entertain grandchildren .”

He didn't say to let Er Gouzi leave him a queen, which means that the county magistrate respects Er Gouzi's choice, and at the same time respects Li Ji.

If you change another family, even if you agree that your son has a habit of breaking sleeves, you will put forward conditions first, don't let the family cut off the incense.Not to mention that he likes men, for a family like the county magistrate, even if Er Gouzi's heart is for a woman to come and live a loving life as a husband and wife, it is only natural for the county magistrate to squeeze in two concubines.

Li Ji's eyes were a little moist, and his ears were a little red when he laughed. It was rare for Li Ji to be so thick-skinned that he could be ashamed.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the bewildered Little Tudou, and Li Ji remembered that there was such a child in the room.

Little Tudou just came here to read books, and now he heard something extraordinary.Little Tudou is not a fool, he can somewhat understand what they are saying.

I used to think it was a bit strange for two people to stay together without getting married, but I never thought about it.From this point of view, these two people are together.And listen to this.Could it be that Er Gouzi's father is the county magistrate?

The amount of information is too large, and it is somewhat difficult for small potatoes to digest.

She heard all the left and right words, and Li Ji was not in a hurry to hide them.

"If the master really likes Little Tudou, it would be good to let him be your grandson. If you don't dislike his birth, this child is also smart and filial. You can get along with him now, and you can bring him with you in the future." It's good to be around."

Ask the magistrate to take the little potatoes with him in the future. That pair of little potatoes is definitely a gift from heaven.Not to mention being the grandson of the county magistrate, even if he is just a servant serving tea and water, when Little Tudou comes out two years later, he can be regarded as a great person.

Thanks to Li Ji's quick thinking, the county magistrate only made a start.Li Ji followed the words and searched for it.

"Being my grandson? What kind of seniority do you have with him, and how do you count seniority with me?" The county magistrate said coldly.

Li Ji choked.If it is strictly based on seniority, Li Ji and the county magistrate are of the same generation, and Little Tudou is Li Ji's grandnephew, so the county magistrate is also from the generation of Xiao Tudou's grandpa.

But right now Li Ji is dating the son of the county magistrate, so if he wants to call the magistrate father, this generation will be downgraded.So again, Little Tudou is the great-grandson of the county magistrate.

Li Ji coughed, and said with a dry smile: "If the adoptive is under my name, the seniority can be followed by my son."

Little Tudou lowered his head, it was difficult for him to intervene in this kind of thing, and he didn't know how to speak.

The county magistrate looked at the embarrassed little potato again, shook his head and smiled helplessly: "I won't get involved in your affairs, it's up to the two of you to decide what to do next. If you were a real person, who's child would be born. Just tell me after you’re dead. I’m in charge of the world, so why don’t I have to worry about who’s child is who?”

Even if Li Ji really wanted to adopt Little Tudou, it would have to be done with the consent of Li Jin and his wife. They only had such a son, and he was a favorite. How could he be willing to send him to someone else's house to be someone else's son?

Li Ji is also aware of this, so most of his words are in a joke.But with such a beginning, Li Ji really put things at ease.Speaking of the future, Li Ji has thought about it.

Li Ji didn't have a strong idea of ​​family succession, and he didn't think that his children were born to provide for him.But if someone can photograph or watch a child grow up when he is old, Li Ji is very willing.

Li Ji actually likes children.It's just that he and Er Gouzi are two leaders, so it's impossible to make a child come out.

Little Tudou was raised by Li Ji since he was a child, and the child is not bad. If he adopts him and becomes his son, Li Ji does not reject it.The county magistrate can also realize the wish of his grandson Cheng Huan.Isn't it the best of both worlds?

Just thinking about the love Li Jin and his wife have for Little Tudou, they are their biological parents, if you say adoptive.It may still be small.

Thinking of this, Li Ji just thought that he would have time to talk to Li Jin in the future.If Li Jin hadn't thought about it, the matter would have passed.But this little potato still has to be ordered.

"Little Tudou, don't tell anyone what you listened to when you look back, not even your parents and Yingzi. Do you understand?"

Little Tudou nodded and looked at Li Ji with blinking eyes, very obedient.If anyone in this family could control Little Tudou, it would be Li Ji.Moreover, Little Tudou saw that Li Ji was mixing with the county magistrate's son, and he was able to chat and laugh happily with the county magistrate.I feel amazing, and I have a lot of admiration for Li Ji.

Or the county magistrate said that Little Tudou looks like Li Ji. If it were another person, knowing that the two men were together, the first reaction should be disgust or feel that it is inappropriate.The little potato just felt surprised and strange.All that's left is curiosity.

After dinner with the county magistrate, it was already dark.It's not safe in the mountains at night.Also stayed.Fortunately, there are many new houses built, and it is easy to allocate one room for two people.But the condition is definitely not as good as that in the giant tent.

Neither Li Ji nor Er Gouzi was picky. After Xiao Tudou finished his meal, the county magistrate asked him to pick a book he liked and take two candles back to his residence to read by himself.Li Ji and Er Gouzi chatted with the county magistrate for two full hours before going to live in the arranged house. If they want to stay the next day, they can take them with them. If they feel bored, they can go back.

This lives in the camp.It can be regarded as having time to meet the head of the village.Especially my family.Most of the people surnamed Li in the village followed him up the mountain.Because everyone knows Li Ji's personality.No one will cheat anyone.Since he was able to spare most of the livestock to follow the county magistrate up the mountain, he must have his own reasons.

Now it seems that it is obviously a good decision to follow up the mountain.At least for now everyone is benefiting from it.I did a lot of work, but the food was much better than at the foot of the mountain.

It's just that every time Li Ji came here, he went directly to see the magistrate. The first time or two, he talked with the magistrate for a while and then left directly.This time Tassel must seize the opportunity to ask more questions.

Li Ji knew that he had to face this kind of thing.Let's be honest, this is still living in the camp.There are only so many resources in the first place, so what kind of relative privileges are they really making a fuss about?But if you don't tell, it's not easy to smooth things out.

After all, there were so many people, even if one or two were fooled, when they turned around and discussed with each other, Li Ji's calculations would all be understood.

So Li Ji simply didn't say anything, and returned everything to the county magistrate.

"We closed the door and said our own words, but we should say what we should say. We should have a sense of proportion." Li Ji took a sip of the water belt and continued, "Speak to the root , we are our own family, we should say anything in the open, and we can't hide it from you. It's just that the magistrate has ordered you not to say anything, if I want my tongue, I still have to be more careful."

Li Ji said so, sensible people will not ask more questions.It's just that in this world, there is never a shortage of ignorant people.Especially those who like to flaunt themselves outright.

"We have no outsiders, so can we spread the word? You don't need to say too much, just send us a letter and let us know." Somebody said something.

Li Ji was unhappy in his heart.But can we still fight a battle in this tent?

"It's easy for you to talk with your upper lip and lower lip. You are not me, and you can say anything cheap. He is the magistrate of the county. If we can say a few more words to people, it is a good thing for our ancestors to accumulate virtue. We can It is already a great grace to enter the mountains and enjoy the blessings. Is it possible that you have to dig out some secrets? What benefits can you get? Go away, and I won’t come back like this. It’s convenient for me to live outside , at any rate it ended up clean."

This time Li Ji was rude and kicked everyone out.

"See, why don't we move out and live here. Thanks to my seniority, I can hold on. Otherwise, I might not be able to get rid of people." Li Ji was irritated for a while.Rinse your mouth and wipe your face with a towel, then undress and lie down on the kang with Er Gouzi.

If this kang counts.It is a big kang several feet long, and it passes through the rooms one by one.The place where the fire is burning is outside.Every six or seven houses have a stove that burns fire, and there is one less time. The big kang this time is very hot.The weather is just getting colder now, and it's not too cold yet, so there won't be too many fires. It's just warm enough to sleep comfortably.

The county magistrate specially changed the two into comfortable bedding, and when they lay down, they could hear the voices of the next room.Because the voice is very low, I can't hear the reason.Li Ji and Er Gouzi dared not communicate because they could hear other people talking, for fear of being overheard.

Li Ji didn't like being spied on by others since he was a child, and Er Gouzi was even more vigilant.

It's the first time to live with such supplies, and it's enough to stay around for one night, and I'll go back tomorrow when it's dawn.

As soon as he woke up, at dawn, soldiers came out of the fence to see what the traps outside had caught.Not every day is rewarded, sometimes more, sometimes less.At most, there are four deer in one day, probably because the deer just passed by, and sometimes a rabbit or pheasant is often seen.

Today I caught two pheasants, one male and one female, even the stew was not enough to feed the entire camp.Just chopped it up and rubbed it into chaos.Give it to those who go out to hunt.

The county magistrate left three bowls here, and the father and son ate them as snacks in the morning.

At noon, the hunting team was going out to hunt, and Er Gouzi went with him.The county magistrate was full of worries, standing at the entrance of the camp and watching Er Gouzi disappear into the woods.

"Master, don't worry, Er Gouzi is capable. Here, I'm afraid he is much more comfortable than the soldier." Li Ji comforted.

"Of course I know that he is very capable, and I also know that he has lived in the mountains for 13 years. Speaking of it, no one is more comfortable on the mountains than him. But if I am thinking about it in my heart, I can manage it if I understand it."

This is true, he is always so talented that he would be afraid of getting his hands sewed, let alone go to the mountains.

Ergouzi went hunting, and Li Jixian stayed in the county magistrate's tent when he had nothing to do, just to avoid relatives who wanted to inquire about the news.The same kind of close relatives are also out of sight.Li Jin, Li Shuisheng and the others just glanced at each other without much communication.But seeing them live a good life, they didn't suffer much.

It's rare that there are no Er Gouzi, only Li Ji and the county magistrate stay in the same room.It wasn't intentional by the magistrate, it's just that at times like this, he unconsciously brought the topic to the two of them.

"Don't blame me for asking too much. Are you living in harmony now?" If Er Gouzi was there, the county magistrate would never have asked.

"The two of us have always been fine, don't you see it?" Li Ji didn't understand why he suddenly asked.

The county magistrate coughed lightly, and then asked again: "I mean, since you said that you have already had an affair, the life of the two of you can still be harmonious."

Li Ji wouldn't feel anything if he told Er Gouzi about this matter, but when asked by the county magistrate, Li Ji only felt his face heat up.

In fact, the magistrate of the county is also very embarrassed: "You are disgusted and I should ask. It's just a matter of bed, and it's not easy to take a detour. Before the normal marriage leave, both parties have their elders to teach. I'm a latecomer Elders, I don’t have the right to ask more questions. But you two men, some things are more troublesome than men and women. But I don’t know the art of Longyang, so naturally I can’t teach you anything. Asking this is also out of concern.”

When these words came out, Li Jilian turned red with embarrassment.This kind of thing was indeed pointed out by the parents of both parties.Most of the men's fathers tell the men something, and the woman's dowry uses the erotic palace to press the bottom of the box.When the bridal chamber is full of flowers and candles, it is a matter of course for the husband and wife to browse through it.

But when the two of them were together, they had no father or mother, and they were groping for everything.Fortunately, the two have the same mind, and this kind of thing is also a matter of course.

"I understand what you said, and you can rest assured that we... are very harmonious."

Talking to the father-in-law about the intercourse with the male daughter-in-law, it's strange to be able to feel at ease.

The two were embarrassed for a while, and then the county magistrate took out a box and returned it to Li Ji: "The government doctor gave me this earlier, saying that there will always be times when the two of you are fooling around together. I’m sorry for you. This time Chang’an is no longer there, so I dare to say a few more words. You can take these back, the government doctor also knows that you two can’t read, and they are all simple and easy to understand. Take it back and study it yourself.”

It's not that the county magistrate has never opened it, but he just opened it with a glance and then closed it.The county magistrate is not a broken sleeve, and he really has no face to understand this kind of thing.

If there is a ground seam at this time, it will be prepared for Li Ji on time.Li Ji put the box away with smoke on his face, and he could basically guess what was inside.

Being able to deliver this kind of thing to Li Ji with his own hands is also a proof that Li Ji is officially recognized as the son-in-law of the family.Li Ji knew this, the magistrate was trying to give him a sense of security in a disguised form.

It's not just to recognize the relationship between the two, but to treat Li Ji as a family.

Li Ji held the box and didn't know what to say. He touched the corners of the box and lowered his head.

In fact, the county magistrate doesn't need Li Ji much better.How many fathers in the world would want him to work so hard to give such things to their son-in-law?It would be considered enlightened if someone else didn't kill him.

"Let's talk about something else. The rabbits and chickens you sent over are doing very well now, and even built a special livestock pen. In winter, a fire will be specially lit for warmth. Winter will not delay laying eggs and cubs. When the next spring begins, the chickens You need to hatch more, which is why you have to eat a lot less eggs for two months."

It will take some days to save eggs and hatch them, and it will take some days to let the hens hatch and bring the chickens to harden and continue to lay eggs.

"It doesn't have to be a long delay." Li Ji said, "Many women know how to incubate eggs, so let them help. When the time comes, as many chickens as you want, just leave more eggs, and don't delay the chickens to continue. Lay eggs. The left and right chickens are easy to feed in spring, summer and autumn, and as long as they escape the dog days in summer, the rest of the hatched chickens can easily survive."

Although the county magistrate also came out of the village, but he was studying in elementary school, and the family was not willing to let him work.So the magistrate of the county just has a concept of some things, and he doesn't know much about them.

"It's thanks to you that you know, otherwise, if I arrange it, others will not say it even if they know it. It is a waste of time." The words of others must be considered. Grandpa bears grudges.Li Ji didn't think so much.

"Compared to this, I'm still thinking about the issue of farming. With so many people here, there must be a lot of food. No matter how well we prepare, we will have enough food next year. Even if there is still food by then, it will be easy. It's moldy. It takes a lot of land to feed these people. In addition, most of the mountains are shaded by trees, so the harvest is definitely not as good as that at the bottom of the mountain. There is a lot of food in need, and the need must be larger. The bigger the place, the better the land. The more unsafe it is, what should we do?"

"The only solution is the stupid way. Open up more wasteland, weave the surrounding trees with branches to make it stronger, try to make it as tall as possible, and set up more traps outside the stronger. Fortunately, there are many mouths to eat, and you can There are also many people working. It is not too much trouble if you sit down." The county magistrate sighed and continued,

"Professional stick to the past for one year, and the next year will be better. No matter who the master is at the bottom of the mountain after one year, it will be easy to go down the mountain to do business in exchange for something. It is convenient to hunt on the mountain. Just buying leather is enough to support these people. .”

"I'm afraid that the bill will still be settled in a year's time." Li Ji had already spoken, and felt that he had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly said with a smile, "Look at my crow's mouth, everything will end one day, and this war is the most labor-intensive. , even if you want to fight, you may not have money to use. It will definitely be peaceful in the coming year."

"They can fight anyway. They will get used to this mountain after a few months of adaptation. If the food supply is decent, it would be good to settle in the mountain in the future." The house was also built and the land was planted.Stay away from strife, traffic in the fields, and hear each other.Isn't it the Xanadu in the records?

"What about you? What are your future plans?" Li Ji asked.

The magistrate of the county thought for a while, smiled and shook his head and said, "I don't have the time to think about that. No matter which family is in charge at that time, if I go down the mountain and meet them, I will only be beheaded. If the emperor of this dynasty keeps the country, we will In the face of war, leading a kind of people to flee up the mountain is a capital offense. If the rebel army becomes the leader and the yellow robe is added, then I, a former court official, will have no place to stay."

Ever since the county magistrate went up the mountain, he knew that he had no way out.The people nearby are just waiting for the war to subside. It is easy to go down the mountain or live on the mountain. Only the county magistrate, standing in this position, is responsible for the people, but he himself is already out of control.

Li Ji didn't expect this level, just hearing it made his heart skip a beat.

"So serious?" Li Ji hurriedly said, "Then don't go down the mountain at all. Just wait for the war to subside. If there are people willing to stay, let them push themselves up to lead them out. At that time, Er Gouzi and I will also If we don’t go down the mountain, we’ll just live in the tent and it’ll be fine.”

The magistrate of the county did have such thoughts: "We still have to wait until next year to see. I also look forward to enjoying family happiness with you."

The fire was burning inside the tent, and the two sat together and chatted a lot.From getting along with Er Gouzi to the planning of the camp, I talked a lot and exchanged a lot.Mostly Li Ji unilaterally listened to the county magistrate to give him insight.

In the afternoon, the hunting team came back, and Er Gouzi was among them.

Perhaps because of the experience of the first two dogs, today can be described as a bumper harvest, with four deer and six rabbits.

It sounds like Er Gouzi is responsible for finding the traces of the prey and distinguishing the direction of the prey. Those who go out to hunt are all good at archery. It's just a hit.

Er Gouzi's experience, coupled with that miraculous aim, just this one time, has gained more than any previous hunting.

Er Gouzi never even touched the prey from the beginning to the end, let alone being injured.It's because I haven't really shot to hunt, and I feel that my muscles and bones are not moving.

When the county magistrate heard what others said about Er Gouzi's performance, the pride on his face almost overflowed.As a parent, it is a lie to say that you are not happy when you hear that your child is capable.

The magistrate walked up to Er Gouzi, reached out and patted Er Gouzi on the shoulder: "Good job."

Er Gouzi looked at Li Ji, his smile was as bright as ever.The box given to him by the county magistrate flashed through Li Ji's head, his face was a little hot, and he didn't talk to Ergouzi more when there were many people.

The prey brought back were all cleaned up, and the most tender parts of the prey were prepared and sent over by the cooking side.The family of three had a good meal in the tent.This meal is over, and it's time to go back after a while.Li Ji and Ergouzi have secrets that cannot be known by outsiders, so they can only avoid too much contact with everyone as much as possible.

Li Ji was thinking about Little Tudou, and happened to be free at this time, so he asked someone to call Li Jin and his wife to the room where he and Er Gouzi had finished their work.

While waiting for someone, Li Ji had been thinking about his words, how to say them, and what to say if the other party answered him.

After all, it was the first time for Li Ji to do such a thing, but in his heart, he had no idea at all.

Li Jin and Erying came here full of doubts.Er Gouzi came from a wealthy family, and Li Ji followed Er Gouzi, so it was understandable that he was full of secrets.But why did they suddenly call the couple over?Is it possible to tell the couple alone?

"I'm going to say a few words, you just listen. Of course, I'm just asking. If you don't want to, just pretend that I didn't say it, and you have the right to pretend that there is no such thing in the future." Li Jixian started talking.

Seeing Li Ji's serious face, Li Jin also became serious, nodded and said, "Speak."

"Recently, Little Tudou has been studying at the magistrate's place. To be honest, this is the blessing of Little Tudou's eight lifetimes of cultivation."

Li Jin nodded again and again: "Indeed, there are so many people studying in the county, that is to say, Little Tudou can be in front of the county magistrate."

"Speaking of it, it's because Little Tudou is likable. The county magistrate has taught him these days, and he loves him very much. The two dogs have no plans to marry a wife and have children. The county magistrate wants a grandson wholeheartedly. "

Li Jin and Erying were taken aback, but Erying spoke quickly: "Fourth Uncle, what do you mean by that? Er...Er Gouzi's son of the county magistrate?"

Li Ji nodded: "I'm not hiding it from you either. Those nonsense words from the past are all the meaning of the county magistrate. If the village knows that he is the only seedling of the county magistrate, I'm afraid some moths will come out. The county magistrate is an upright official, not a Open the back door for relatives. If I tell you this, you will pass it on to the outside, just keep it in your stomach.”

Li Jin and Erying reacted for a while, and then reluctantly accepted the matter.

Er Gouzi is actually the blood of the county magistrate, and the county magistrate takes a fancy to Xiaotuo and wants to adopt him as the county magistrate's grandson.

If it was a different family, at this moment, I'm afraid I can't wait to set off firecrackers and hold a feast to celebrate.It is a good thing to burn incense on the ancestral graves to be picked up by officials.

The key is that Li Jin and Erying have been like this for so many years, otherwise they wouldn't be spoiled like eyeballs and let Little Tudou be mischievous.

What kind of character is the magistrate?That is a person standing on the top in a county.For example, to be his grandson, or to be a slave by his side, those are all great things.

Li Jin and Erying didn't know how to respond, they were obviously very embarrassed.

"I'm just asking for a message. It's not a serious question. My son hurts me, so there's no reason to snatch someone's child for nothing. It's only natural for you to be reluctant. In fact, the county magistrate also doesn't hold out hope. I'm talking too much." I said it. You can put your heart to your stomach. No matter who is with Little Tudou, the county magistrate appreciates him the same, and will teach him as usual in the future."

Li Ji's promise is important. In this mountain, Li Jin and Erying can trust only Li Ji.

Li Jin reluctantly opened his mouth and said: "Why do you say that Er Gouzi won't marry a wife and have children? If Er Gouzi is the son of the county magistrate, then he should have three wives and four concubines, and it's easy to have as many children as he wants. No matter how bad it is, It is not difficult for the county magistrate to marry and have another child. Now that the county magistrate is in his prime, he will never reach the point of adopting a child. You must know that the county magistrate's family has a big business, not only a wealth of wealth? How can it fall into the hands of outsiders. "

After all, it is different from person to person.Li Ji said here that he succeeded the county magistrate, what he thought was that the county magistrate was eager to beg his grandson, and wanted the child to succeed him.What Li Jin thought was that the county magistrate was anxious to adopt because he was afraid that there would be no one to inherit the family business.

The two stand at different angles and think differently, which is also normal.

Li Jidao: "This is not something we can do the same. The magistrate of the county is infatuated with his deceased wife, so he doesn't plan to continue. You also know Er Gouzi's temper. No one can force him, and I have never seen him look at it more. My daughter. I also said that the county magistrate is not a coercive person, nor is he a fan. The county magistrate likes everything to follow fate, wants a grandson, and has a crush on Little Tudou, I always feel that they are destined."

That's all Li Ji said, almost everything that needs to be said has been said.

"But even if you really like it, there will always be something fresh, and once the freshness wears off, there will be nothing left. We know what Little Tudou is like, and he is a disobedient one. If there is a lively day, my lord , how can this be a sin?"

As a parent, as long as you really love your child, you will feel that no one in the world will love him more unconditionally than yourself.No matter who hands it into, they will feel that the child must not be at home at home.

It stands to reason that when Li Ji talked about this, the couple will discuss the rest behind closed doors.Xu was relatively close, so Li Ji said a few more words:

"Would you like to adopt this little potato? Let's put it away for now. Let's just talk about adults. I have also been in touch for a while, and I have lived in the county grandpa's mansion for a few days. Not to mention how well I know it, at least I understand how I am. Yes. Not to mention Little Tudou, anyone who enters the county grandpa's mansion will not be able to bear the slightest grievance. My lord is also an open-minded person, not the kind of person who is full of clichés. Look at him, he would rather die. I can see that I am reluctant to force my son. My lord is a benevolent elder and a benevolent official."

Erying bit her lip, and said in a low voice: "It is Xiaotuo's blessing that the magistrate of the county likes Xiaotuo. From now on, it will be easy for Xiaotuo to take part in the scientific examination and become an official."

Everyone's point of view is different.Parents are really reluctant to leave their children out of sight.But if the child has a wider road and can fly better.Even if you are reluctant, you can only let go.

After hearing Erying's words, Li Jin was a little silent.There is no mention of any family property, nor of any inheritance.If Little Tudou had always been by the county magistrate's side, it would be much easier than ordinary people to take part in the scientific examination and become a magistrate.The magistrate himself is an official, and he will definitely teach Little Tudou how to be an official.

It is definitely better to be with the magistrate than to be with their parents who came out of the mud.

Li Ji saw the reactions of both of them, feeling a little sad.

Sighing, cut off the conditions for them: "Don't think about it. In the future, the master will probably not be an official. In order to protect the people going up the mountain, the county magistrate persuaded the commander to go up the mountain together to protect the people's safety, so that the rebels could not even fight. They captured us ready without fighting. Even if our Great Xia defends the country in the future, the master will be a death penalty on their side. If the rebel army wins the world and changes hands, it is impossible to accommodate the officials of the previous dynasty."

His eyes swept over the two of them, but he heard that they both listened. Li Ji continued: "So, if you wronged yourself to leave your son because of your status as an adult, then you don't have to. If the war stops in the future, your lord will probably He stayed on the mountain and lived with Er Gouzi and me. To put it simply, the county magistrate is an old man who likes children and can read and write. Child. Even if it’s not Little Tudou, it’s feasible to find a helpless orphan tomorrow to raise under his name.”

It's just because Xiaotuo is smart, so he pays more attention. If he is really reluctant to push it, it's okay.Left and Right Little Tudou is still studying at the county magistrate's place. There is no relationship between grandparents and grandchildren, and it is a good relationship to simply be a teacher and a student.

Li Ji didn't want to owe personal troubles, and hoped that Little Tudou would have a closer relationship with the county magistrate, so it was unnecessary.If Li Jin and Erying intend to let Little Tudou become a member of the Grand Master's Mansion in the county, it is also possible for them to have another one themselves.Or wait for Little Tudou to have two children, one on each side.

At this point, in fact, Li Ji regretted what he said to Li Jin.Li Jishi has met many times, and he knows that sometimes what the magistrate says is not absolute.Negotiable, don't even care.But in front of ordinary people like Li Jin, the county magistrate
