"Is it done?" Ms. Li asked when she opened the door and saw the two smiling people.

Lu Zheng nodded happily, "Okay!"

"Are you so happy?" Seeing Lu Zheng's overly happy look, Mrs. Li said something unclear.

Tang Mian glanced at Lu Zheng and continued, "Mom, dad is not happy about the compost pit."

"What is that?" Li was slightly startled.

Tang Mian smiled and explained, "Dad has chosen the calf's name."

"Really! What's your name?" Li asked curiously with her eyes wide open.

Lu Zheng raised his chin slightly, shouldered his hoe, and walked proudly into the house.

Tang Mian suppressed his smile and explained to Li, "Lu Yanjin."

"Lu Yanjin." Ms. Li murmured softly. After a moment, she slapped her thigh and said, "Hey, that sounds good!"

Lu Zheng walked ahead and raised his ears, and when he heard Li's praise of the nice name, he raised his chin higher.

If there is a tail, the fingers may be raised.

Although he has not read for a few days, the names he gave his two little grandchildren are so nice!

proud!

At this time, Mrs. Li also noticed Lu Zheng's tail raised to the sky, and rolled her eyes at him, "Look at how proud you are, why don't you just give him two names? If you write two poems, you will be considered capable."

Lu Zheng's expression froze, and he turned back to glare at Mr. Li angrily. The old woman will tear him down.

Mrs. Li was not afraid of him and stared back immediately. Lu Zheng snorted and walked quickly to the utility room to put the hoe away.

Tang Mian looked at it funny from behind. He put the hoe away and went to find Mavericks.

"Maverick." Tang Mian walked into the room and found that Zhuang Zhuang was being a master again.

When the two brothers saw Tang Mian coming, they ran over happily, "Mom."

"Master Zhuang Zhuang, what are you teaching today?" Tang Mian pinched Zhuang Zhuang's little face and joked.

Zhuangzhuang twisted his little body, a little embarrassed, but Wang Xiaoniu said with a smile: "Mom, my brother taught me how to write, I can write Lu and Yan!"

The younger brother said that Lu and Yan were two characters in their names and asked him to learn them first.

"Yeah, my son is awesome!" Tang Mian touched Zhuang Zhuang and Wang Xiaoniu's heads and praised them.

After finishing speaking, he said to Wang Xiaoniu: "Xiaoniu, grandpa has already chosen your name. Jin, Lu Yanjin."

Wang Xiaoniu's eyes lit up, "Lu Yanjin, then my name will be Lu Yanjin from now on?"

Tang Mian responded softly, "Yes."

"Mom, this name is very nice, I like it very much." Lu Yanjin said with a happy face.

"As long as you like it." Tang Mian smiled and nodded.

The smile on Lu Yanjin's face never broke, and she said excitedly: "Mom, I'll go thank Grandpa."

"Go."

As soon as Tang Mian finished speaking, Lu Yanjin quickly ran out of the room to find Lu Zheng.

"Mom, do I have to teach my brother how to write the Jin character tomorrow?" Zhuang Zhuang said as he looked at Lu Yanjin running out and raised the corners of his lips.

Tang Mian nodded and said softly: "Yes. Once you teach him how to write his name, teach him everything you have learned. Next year, my mother will send him to a private school."

"Mom, I understand." Zhuang Zhuang nodded in agreement, suddenly feeling that he had a heavy responsibility.

Tang Mian touched Zhuang Zhuang's head and held his hand, "Let's go out and take a look."

"it is good."

The two walked out of the room and saw Lu Yanjin standing happily beside Lu Zheng.

"Grandpa, the name is very nice, thank you Grandpa."

Although his previous name can no longer be used, he is still very happy that he no longer has to suffer and suffer everywhere.

"calf."

Lu Yanjin smiled, turned to look at Tang Mian who called him, and said blankly: "Mom, didn't I change my name?"

Why do you still call him Maverick?

Tang Mian smiled and said softly: "Lu Yanjin is your first name, and Xiao Niu is your nickname. My future mother will still call you Xiao Niu."

"Mom, is it true?" Lu Yanjin's eyes widened in disbelief.

Tang Mian nodded affirmatively, "Really."

Lu Yanjin immediately ran to Tang Mian, hugged Tang Mian, and said with a crying voice, "Mom, thank you."

The name Maverick was given by his biological father, and he was really grateful to be able to keep it.

Tang Mian chuckled, touched Lu Yanjin's head, and said, "You are a little man now. If you cry all the time, you will be laughed at."

Lu Yanjin stopped crying, slowly withdrew from Tang Mian's arms, sniffed, "I won't cry."

"Be good!" Tang Mian pinched his face and smiled.

After saying that, he looked up at Lu Zheng who was standing aside, "Dad, I forgot to tell you that the clan leader has set a date for the opening of the family tree in the ancestral hall, three days from now."

"In addition, we have to ask the eldest uncle and the second uncle to see if they are free on any day. Let the whole family have a meal together so that Maverick can recognize his family."

"Yes. I can ask your eldest and second uncle right now." Lu Zheng nodded, "When their date is determined, you can take the two younger ones back to their parents' home and let Xiao Niu meet them. Grandpa and grandma.”

"By the way, it's best to choose another day to go to the county town and meet his aunt and uncle." Lu Zheng said emphatically.

Tang Mian had no objection, "Then follow what dad wants."

"Okay. I'm going to go to your uncle's house now." Lu Zheng said immediately.

Tang Mian responded softly, "Sorry, dad."

"It's okay." Lu Zheng waved his hand and walked out the door.

After Lu Zheng left, Tang Mian looked at his two sons and said, "You go and play by yourselves. Mom and grandma will prepare dinner."

"Mom, let me help you." Lu Yanjin then said, "I have done these jobs before, I can do them."

Tang Mian was slightly startled, then smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry. You are still injured. You need to recover from the injury first, and then help mother work."

"Mom, my injury is fine. I can do it." Lu Yanjin said anxiously.

He was worried that he was too lazy. What if his mother and grandparents no longer liked him so much?

Tang Mian smiled and said, "Be good! Be obedient. When you recover from your injuries, I will never stop you."

Lu Yanjin pursed her lips and nodded hesitantly, "Okay."

He needs to get well soon and help his mother and grandparents with their work.

"Okay, you two brothers, let's go play!"

Lu Yanjin nodded, took Zhuang Zhuang's hand, and the two of them greeted Tang Mian and returned to the room.

Looking at the two people leaving, Tang Mian smiled, turned around and entered the kitchen.

Not long after, Lu Zheng returned home and set a meal time for the whole family the day after tomorrow.

"Dad, I happen to be going to town tomorrow. I will buy some meat and vegetables then." Tang Mian continued.

Lu Zheng nodded, "I won't go to the market tomorrow, so I have to go early."

"Mian Niang, there should be a lot of things to buy tomorrow. Can you do it alone? How about asking your father to go with you?" Mrs. Li frowned at the side. How could Mianniang carry so many things by herself?

Lu Zheng looked towards Mrs. Li and said, "I asked, if Zhishun is free tomorrow, let him drive the bullock cart and go with Mianniang."

Li Shi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's better."

Tang Mian also thought it was very good.

Tomorrow we not only have to buy oil paper and meat and vegetables, but we also have to buy two pairs of shoes and two sets of clothes for Maverick.

"Then I will take the two children back to my parents' home the day after tomorrow, and then take them to the county seat after the calf is added to the family tree." Tang Mian thought for a while and said.

Lu Zheng nodded lightly, "Okay, just make arrangements."

"That's right." After Lu Zheng finished speaking, he remembered something again, and then said: "Now that we have a calf again, Zhuang Zhuang's health has improved a lot. Let's let the two brothers sleep in the same room from now on."

"I think Mavericks is quite good at taking care of people. He should be fine looking strong."

Ms. Li disagreed a little, "Is it appropriate for two children to sleep alone in this winter? My body is just a little strong."

Tang Mian smiled and said, "Dad, what mom said makes sense. Originally, I planned to let Zhuang Zhuang sleep alone after spring. Winter is too cold, and if Zhuang Zhuang catches a cold, his condition will be aggravated."

Both of them objected, and Lu Zheng didn't force it anymore, "Okay, let's talk about it after spring."

"However, this matter must be explained clearly to Maverick so that he won't think too much about it."

Tang Mian nodded, "Dad, I understand. I'll talk to Mavericks later."

"Well, you guys get busy." After Lu Zheng said that, he turned around and walked out of the kitchen.

After dinner, Tang Mian told Lu Yanjin about the incident. Unexpectedly, he smiled casually and said, "Mom, I won't think too much about it. I am the brother. I will take good care of my brother and help my mother in the future." Work more.”

Tang Mian was startled, then raised his hand and gently touched Lu Yanjin's head, "Good boy!"

"Okay, go to bed early." After Tang Mian said that, he helped Lu Yanjin tuck the quilt, stood up and walked out of the room.

At dawn the next day, Tang Mian got on the bullock cart driven by Lu Zhishun and went to the town.

Since Li Hu was arrested, the town has become much calmer.

Nowadays, there is no need to worry about any trouble or safety issues.

"Fourth cousin, I'm sorry to trouble you." Tang Mian said on the way.

Lu Zhishun smiled carelessly, "I have to eat the meat and vegetables I bought today!"

"Pfft!" Tang Mian couldn't help laughing, "Fourth cousin is right!"

"That's right!" Lu Zhishun responded proudly and sped up the car.

When they arrived in the town, Lu Zhishun stored the oxcart, and then went to buy meat with Tang Mian.

There is no market today and there are few butchers selling meat. If you go late, you may not be able to buy the meat you like.

Fortunately, they arrived early and there was still a lot of meat left.

"Brother and sister, Zhishun." Tang Mian had just handed the copper coins to the butcher stall owner when a familiar voice sounded behind him.

Tang Mian and Lu Zhishun immediately turned around and shouted happily, "Brother Dashan."

Seeing Lu Dashan wearing the inspection uniform, the two of them were extremely happy. Since he joined the Inspection Department, we see each other less often.

"Brothers and sisters, Zhishun, you are not going to the market today, why are you here in town?" Lu Dashan, with two of his men, looked at Tang Mian and Lu Zhishun and asked in surprise.

In the winter, we usually buy everything together on the market day. If we go out to buy it alone like this, I'm afraid something will happen.

Tang Mian smiled and explained: "I adopted a child and decided to have a meal with the whole family tomorrow to let him recognize his family members. That's why today I asked my fourth cousin to drive an ox cart and take me to the town. Go buy something."

"You adopted another child?" Lu Dashan said in surprise, "I haven't heard about this!"

Tang Mian: "Not many people know about it. After the ancestral hall is opened in two days and the child's genealogy is given, everyone in the village should know about it."

If it were in the past, Brother Dashan must have heard Zhou Xiaohua talk about it.

However, since Brother Dashan entered the Inspection Department, Zhou Xiaohua has become very quiet and will never talk about other people's rights and wrongs in front of Brother Dashan.

When they see her, they always take a detour. If they can't avoid it, they quickly leave her and try not to talk to her.

Lu Dashan nodded after hearing this, "I see. Well, you guys buy slowly, I'll go do some work first."

"Well, Brother Dashan, you are busy first." After Tang Mian and Lu Dashan greeted each other, Lu Dashan left with the others.

"You, you are not the god-sister of the county magistrate's wife, Mrs. Lu, are you?" The owner of the meat stall looked at Tang Mian and shouted in surprise.

Tang Mian turned around and smiled politely at the boss, "I'm not, the boss misunderstood."

Then he turned his head and said to Lu Zhishun beside him: "Fourth cousin, let's go."

The butcher stall owner was a little unconvinced. The newly appointed inspector, Mr. Lu, had a good relationship with the god-sister of the county magistrate's wife.

Looking at the look just now, it’s obvious that it is!

After thinking about it, the butcher stall owner quickly picked up a piece of meat and called to Tang Mian, "Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Lu. I forgot just now that there is a giveaway at the stall today. If you buy more, I should give you a piece of meat." "

Tang Mian paused slightly, turned around and said softly: "No, thank you, boss. Also, I'm really not Mrs. Lu."

After saying that, he walked away.

Lu Zhishun rolled his eyes at the meat stall owner and left.

"Hey, hey, Mrs. Lu, there is really something going on at the stall today!"

The butcher stall owner held a piece of meat and looked at the two figures leaving quickly with annoyance.

Missed it by accident!

"Brothers and sisters, the owner of the meat stall clearly wants to have a relationship." Lu Zhishun complained as he walked beside Tang Mian.

Tang Mian sighed slightly, "Since the relationship with my sister has been made public, many vendors in the town want to start with me."

Lu Zhishun nodded, "You are quite close to the county magistrate. If we can't get through the county government, we naturally have to start from your side."

"Yeah." Tang Mian responded softly, "So, I won't admit it in front of those people."

So as not to bring trouble to my sister and brother-in-law.

"Let's go, there are still a lot of things to buy."

Lu Zhishun responded softly, and the two quickly bought all the other things and returned to Qingyuan Village.

"Zhishun, please!" Li said looking at Lu Zhishun who had helped move all the things.

Lu Zhishun said with a smile, "Third Aunt is too polite, as it should be."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Lu Zheng and Tang Mian again, "Third uncle, brothers and sisters, I will go back first."

Lu Zheng nodded slightly, "Well, go back and come early tomorrow."

"I got it, Third Uncle." Lu Zhishun waved his hand and drove the bullock cart away.

Mrs. Li looked at the oxcart going away and turned around first to enter the house. "Come in, everyone, the food is already ready."

"Okay." Lu Zheng and Tang Mian responded softly and entered the door.

After lunch, Tang Mian went to Shanghuangpo with the oilcloth he bought.

I laid an oilcloth in the compost pit and made a cover with thatch and green bamboo before stopping.

"Now, the compost pit is finally completed." Looking at the covered pit, Tang Mian breathed a sigh of relief.

The next step is to collect those things and put them in.
