Chapter 25

But in any case, it is always a good thing to have a good relationship with the magistrate's family.

In Xu's words: It's best not to use this relationship, but in case something happens one day, it's good to have a way.

Zhang Xiaoshan had no objection to this matter, but he still told Zhang Sijiu: "After all, he is the young gentleman of the county magistrate's family, and he is different from the children in our village. We should be more respectful."

After a pause, he hesitated, and then added: "If you are wronged, don't bear it, just cut back."

Zhang Sijiu was somewhat moved.

Zhang Xiaoshan had always been taciturn, and did not show any affection for the children, but today he said this, apparently for Zhang Sijiu's sake.

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu nodded again and again: "Exactly."

However, she thought a little more than Zhang Xiaoshan: "Don't make a fuss if you're wronged, let's keep our contacts quietly, bear with it, ah!"

That's the magistrate.It's someone they can't fight against.

However, Mrs. Xu thought about what Yang Yuanding was like, and felt that such a thing might not happen: "However, Yang Sanlang looks okay, quite likable."

Zhang Sijiu also felt that such a thing would not happen.

On the second day, Xu Shi got up at dawn and went to pick vegetables in the field.

When Zhang Sijiu heard the movement, he also got up and went to the bamboo forest to look for bamboo root fungi.

It was too small yesterday, so she didn't let it be picked, but it happened to be opened today.In addition to the new ones that emerged overnight, the harvest is even more than yesterday.

Zhang Sijiu's bamboo basket was actually half full.

Afraid of damaging the bamboo root fungus, Zhang Sijiu specially sprinkled a layer of bamboo leaves on the bottom, using these bamboo leaves as cushions to protect the delicate mushrooms.

After returning home, Zhang Sijiu was taken aback by Mrs. Xu: Mrs. Xu's dishes were packed in a big basket!It's hard to carry!
Finally, under Zhang Sijiu's strong suggestion, half of these dishes were divided, and only a small half was left as a gift for Yang Yuanding. As if to please people.Once such a sense of inequality is established, it is difficult to overthrow it.

The food may not be worth the money, it's just the heart.But this intention is not cheap.

In addition, Xu also carried a backpack.Inside are some recently saved eggs.This time I sold it, so I added some money to buy ducklings.

Xiaosong and Xiaobai also clamored to go.

Mrs. Xu was not willing to take them.

But Zhang Sijiu thought about how easy it would be to dispatch the labor force in the future, so he agreed without hesitation, and said to Xu: "Second Aunt, I'll take them!"

Xiao Song is also very clever: "Mother, I will look at my younger brother and listen to my elder sister!"

In the end, Mrs. Xu was tortured so badly that she could only agree.

A group of people set off for the county seat.

To enter the county seat, you have to walk three miles.

Xiaosong was fine, but Xiaobai soon couldn't walk anymore, and began to act like a baby and wanted to carry it on his back.

Xu couldn't move his hand, so Zhang Sijiu picked up Xiao Bai.

Fortunately, Xiao Bai is not fat, otherwise Zhang Sijiu might not be able to recite it.

With a basket on her back and a bamboo basket in each hand, Mrs. Xu cursed angrily, "I shouldn't have taken you! Just adding to the chaos!"

Xiao Bai put his arms around Zhang Sijiu's neck, pretending not to hear - children know best when they are really going to be beaten, and when there is thunder and no rain.

Anyway, Zhang Sijiu hugged him tightly, he was so beautiful in his heart!
However, Xiaobai still leaned close to Zhang Sijiu's ear, and said in a breathy voice: "Eldest sister will carry me, and I will earn money to buy sweets for eldest sister!"

Zhang Sijiu: ...at such a young age, his skill in drawing big cakes is pretty good.

Fortunately, more than half of the journey was already gone, and after several hundred meters, Zhang Sijiu asked Xiao Bai to come down, and even coaxed and tricked him into walking for a while.

When he got to the county town and entered the city gate—Xiaobai didn't care about being carried or hugged. He stared at the bustling city without taking his eyes off it, and couldn't remember whether he was tired or not.

Zhang Sijiu couldn't help but look left and right.

It has to be said that although it cannot be compared with modern cities, the scene in the city is also very different from that in the village.

The first is the road. Although the road is not necessarily a green brick road, the mud is firmly pressed and smooth. Even after it has been raining for so long, there is no water accumulation or muddyness. This road is maintained.

On both sides of the road, there are various street-facing shops.

Moreover, whether it is a house or a shop, they are all green brick and tile houses, and none of them are straw and mud houses.

One look and you can tell that the people in the city are rich.

There are not only people coming and going on the road, but also horse-drawn carts, big green donkeys, mules, ox carts, carts, etc., which are also sights that cannot be seen in the village.

Zhang Sijiu was a little dizzy.

Although there are no modern things, the excitement, popularity, and orderliness still make people wonder and like it spontaneously.

She thought: If you have money in the future, you should move to the city.

The village is good, but if you want to get better development, you still have to go to the city!
Mrs. Xu asked someone to find out the location of the county government office, and took Zhang Sijiu and the others there.

The location of the county government office is not too close to the gate of the city, and the vicinity of the government office is obviously deserted—or it is more appropriate to describe it as solemn.

There are not even any shops around here, leaving a large area vacant.

It seems that the gate of the yamen is extraordinarily grand.

Of course they can't go through the front door.

Instead, they walked around the open space and walked for a while before arriving at the side door.

Surprisingly, Yang Yuanding was already sitting at the door waiting.

He just sat on the ground like that, and when he saw Zhang Sijiu and the others, he immediately jumped up and waved: "Here, here!"

This enthusiasm is like a little sun.

Zhang Sijiu was a little surprised: "How long have you been waiting?"

So early, he was waiting at the door...

Even though they made an appointment yesterday, they didn't say they were dead. Zhang Sijiu wasn't sure if he could come.

If he didn't come, wouldn't he have to wait all morning?

This kind of intention is still very touching.

Yang Yuanding rushed over with a bright smile: "Not long after, I had breakfast and had nothing to do, so I just wanted to wait and see here. I didn't expect you to arrive right after I arrived!"

Zhang Sijiu didn't believe it.

It didn't break him though.He just handed him the basket in his hand: "This is a vegetable grown by our family. I'll bring you some if you like it."

Yang Yuanding was at a loss and felt embarrassed: "Oh, this is so inappropriate!"

But he still took it with a smile on his face, and hugged him tightly: "Come on, come in with me, I'll show you my house!"

Zhang Sijiu shook his head: "No, we still have something to do."

Mrs. Xu didn't dare to go, so she quickly refused.

Yang Yuanding felt a little regretful: "Okay then, wait for me, I'll go in and talk. Then call me elder brother. He said he would go with us. He is afraid we will be deceived."

 Whoever has the best pancake technology is the best at kids!This is true, not my nonsense.Hahaha.
