Huanxi Farm: Pick up a husband for farming

Chapter 97
"Mother, Clinique said today that she is going to help in the shop in the town..." Rong Ming hesitated at the kitchen door before saying to Li Shi who was busy on the pot.

"The shop is short of manpower?" Li shi skillfully stir-fried the vegetables in the pot, Rong Wan filled the firewood, and Rong Xiaomei lay beside the pot looking at the delicacies in the pot, swallowing silently.

"Well, the second sister said that she wanted to hire two helpers, and tomorrow we decided to sell sweet potato fries in the shop!" Rong Ming told Li Shi about his and Rong Shui's plan.

"Brother, if Sister Clinique is going, let her go. Anyway, I've already made an engagement, so why would anyone gossip?" Rong Wan's character is straightforward, and she can say whatever comes to her mind.

"Ah Ming, if Clinique really wants to come over, it's not wrong to let her come over, but what do the in-laws think?" Li Shi and Rong Ming have the same considerations. Things, will you feel a little uncomfortable?

"She said she would go back and discuss with Aunt Zhang Zuo and see their opinions!" Rong Ming told Li Shi what Clinique had said.

"That's fine. If they agree, we naturally have nothing to say. After all, the shop will be owned by the two of you from now on, so it's not wrong to contact earlier!" Li said after thinking for a while.

"I passed by our potato field, picked it casually, and found that the potato has grown!" Rong Zheng walked in from the outside, holding several egg-sized potatoes in his hands.

It is late autumn now, but the autumn here is particularly cold. People have already put on cotton-padded jackets early, and their forehands are red with cold, and they put potatoes on the table.

"This potato is really different from what I thought. I thought the president would be quite big, but I didn't expect it to be this small!" Rong Shui said while sitting far away.

"Ah Shui, this potato is of medium size! Your father's big hand looks small!" Mrs. Li took the potato and showed it to Rong Shui, and found that it was indeed the case. I didn't expect that there would be no harm if there was no comparison. It makes sense.

"Then we'll serve French fries and sweet potato fries together tomorrow!" Rongshui only felt excited. Seeing the business improve a little bit, Rongshui felt full of energy.

"Cuckoo, cluck..." Just as the Rong family was preparing to go to the field to dig some potatoes with baskets on their backs after dinner, and taking advantage of the fact that there was no farm work in the field this afternoon, Rongzheng prepared some materials for tomorrow so that they could start directly, but they were caught by a group of pigeons. blocked the way.

"Second sister, how is Junli's life there now? It's really convenient to have pigeons!" Rong Ming helped Rongshui remove the creed, and then introduced the pigeons into the house, sprinkled a handful of grains for them to eat a joy.

Rongshui put the creed into the house, stuffed it under the pillow, then picked up the basket and went to the field together.

"Aniang—is there someone in my field over there?" Rong Wan saw a person walking around her field on tiptoe from a long distance away. With the cold wind blowing, who could run into the field so bored? By the autumn wind?
Hearing Rong Wan's words, the rest of the Rong family stopped chatting and looked at their potato fields.

"Aren't you here to steal potatoes?" Rong Ming asked, scratching his head.

"It's broad daylight, how can anyone choose to steal things at this time?" Rong Xiaomei asked, this is a truth that even little Rong Xiaomei knows, but there are still people who don't understand?

"Boss, you take Amin to take a look! Ask clearly! If there is a shortage of food, let him bring some. After all, we have such a big field, and there is no shortage of it!" Mrs. Li patted Rong Zheng said over his shoulder.

Rongzheng took Rongming all the way to his field, and Rongshui followed him to have a look. There really weren't many people stealing things in broad daylight, unless there was a real difficulty.

When Rong Shui ran to him, he found that this person had been held back by Rong Ming and Rong Zheng. He looked like a beggar, and there was a sack beside him, which was already half full of potatoes.

"What are you doing digging up so many potatoes?" Rong Shui asked angrily. The rhythm to continue.

The man was thin and tall, his fluffy and messy hair hadn't been trimmed for a while, and his face was also dirty, so he couldn't see his original face. The cold wind was blowing, but this man only wore clothes. A tattered and baggy cloth coat that did not match his figure.

When Rong Shui asked, the man just gave Rong Shui a bitter look, and then stopped talking.

"If you are poor, you can take some when you are older, but you are carrying a sack all of a sudden, isn't it going to cut off our business?" Rong Shui said angrily, but the man still lowered his head and didn't say a word Ken answered.

"Ah Shui, what's going on?" Mrs. Li hurried forward, and found that her daughter, who had always been calm, was pinching her waist and examining the person in front of her angrily.

"Aniang, you said that this person can't be angry, so you can just eat some by yourself, and pack it in a sack, how much do we have to grow in our field to allow him to pretend like this?" Rong Shui pointed to the half of the side said the bag of potatoes.

"Oh, it's true, you...you are a thief in broad daylight!" Li said, pointing at the homeless man.

"Grandma, forget it, it's a good thing the potatoes were not stolen, so it's as if a helper was hired to dig the potatoes!" Rong Wan saw that Li Shi was very distressed, so she didn't say anything else, so she could only comfort Li Shi like this.

"I'm very hungry!" When the crowd quieted down, a voice rang out, it was the dirty tramp.

"Your belly...you can't take so much even if you're hungry!" Li Shi taught earnestly.

Listening to the voice, Rong Shui judged that this was a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, but this appearance really couldn't be hooked with a boy.

"How old are you this year? Where is your home?" Seeing that the homeless man stopped talking again, Mrs. Li continued to ask.

"I'm 14 years old this year, and I live in the town!" the tramp said silently.

"You live in the town? You live in the town and you came here to steal my potatoes?" Rong Wan exclaimed from the side, running so far, besides, with his stature, he can't even carry this bag of potatoes!Could it be that there are accomplices?

"I said I'm very hungry!" The young homeless man said to Rong Wan impatiently.

"You man, if you report to the officials, you will have to be taken to the county government office and eaten on wooden boards for two days!" Rong Wan said.

"Awan--" Li Shi tugged at her own girl. When she learned that the other party was still a 14-year-old child, Li Shi felt a little soft-hearted, and judging by his appearance and dress, it was probably because he was hungry. Like this!

"I'm going to wash my face!" The homeless man suddenly said this, and then he walked to the small river on his own, took a handful of water and splashed his face twice, and when he returned to the Rong family again, he was almost dead. I can see the appearance, and the appearance is quite satisfactory, and what is revealed in the eyes is different from ordinary homeless people.

Is it possible that this is another prince who is living in the world?Rong Shui thought to himself, he is also a master with a temper.

"I'm sorry everyone!" The homeless man turned his head to leave after speaking, but was pulled back by Rong Ming.

"Where do you want to go?" Rong Ming pulled the homeless man tighter than before. This way stealing things is a small matter, but the attitude is big. Although the stolen things are not expensive, but this attitude is too uncomfortable .

"Could it be that you still want to arrest me to see the officials?" The homeless man didn't struggle, he just stood where he was when he was pulled back.

"You stole something, so what if we arrest you and bring you to the court?" Rong Ming couldn't help his arrogance even though he had a good temper.

"Is there anyone in your government?" The young homeless man said calmly.

"Someone? Who is it? Could it be that you have clearly committed a crime, and the government won't take care of it?" Rong Ming said.

"Because it's a small matter, I think it's more likely that they don't care about you!" said the young homeless man.

"Don't try to use this method to justify yourself!" Rong Wan felt uncomfortable looking at this homeless man, but after hearing him say a few words, she felt that this man was simply unreasonable.

"My father used to be the magistrate of the county government. Could it be that I didn't know?" The homeless man said calmly, without any expression on his face.

Rong Shui thought to himself, this is really a coincidence, first the Seventh Prince was in exile, and then he met the county magistrate's son in exile, is there a lot of things in the family of an official?
"Your father is the magistrate of the county government?" The Rong family all looked at each other in dismay, thinking that Zhao Zhigao had never had such a big son before!
"I am the son of Zhang Kunxi in the Haicheng County Yali next door. My name is Zhang Mingming. I have been away from home for two or three years!" the young homeless man said to the Rong family.

"Haicheng county government... seems to have heard of it!" Rong Zheng heard the young homeless man say this, after thinking about it, there is indeed such a person.

"How are you going to leave home to be a beggar?" the outspoken Rong Wan opened her mouth and asked.

"I was also conspired by others to steal my money and luggage. I picked up this clothes from the garbage dump! However, it is true that I left home!" Zhang obviously did not hide it. The clothes were indeed from him. He found it in the garbage dump. His requirements are not high, as long as he can avoid the body!

"Why did you leave home?" Rong Shui asked, looking at the person in front of him.

"My father ordered me to marry, so home is no longer home!" Zhang Mingming said after a pause.

Rong Shui gasped when he heard this, it turned out that he had a new wife and forgot about the child, a majestic county magistrate actually let his son fall into this situation.

"Then it's hard for you to live in this state?" Rong Wan glanced at her own potatoes, then looked at the young man's appearance, never would have thought that a normal person would be reduced to this level.

"This is really a helpless move! I left a mark on your field and placed three stones. I want to return it when the situation improves in the future!" Zhang Mingming pointed to the field of the Rong family. I ran to look quickly, and sure enough there were three stones, which were placed in a place that was not easy to be found.

"Forget it! Don't pursue it! You should go home as soon as possible! But we can't give you these potatoes! This is for our shop!" Rong Shui waved his hand and said.

"Shop? The potatoes your shop sells?" Zhang Ming asked in a daze.

"My shop sells fried chicken, Rong's fried chicken shop!" Rong Shui said.

"I've seen your shop, and the business is very good!" Zhang Mingming remained calm.

"That's right, my shop often launches new varieties! The business is naturally good! Now we have to recruit helpers, so you can imagine our business!" Rong Ming said proudly from the side.

"Then... then can I help you to earn some food?" Zhang Mingming asked cautiously.

"Are you here as a helper? Don't scare away the customers!" Rong Wan spoke directly, showing no mercy to Zhang Mingming.

"I... I'm really in a mess, but after I clean up, it should be much better... I don't need wages, just... just give me food!" Zhang Mingming said in a low voice.

When the Rong family heard this, they naturally turned their attention to Rongshui. After all, only Rongshui could make such a decision now.

"Okay, the probationary period is three days, I'll watch from the side, if you perform well in these three days, then stay! If you don't, then I'm sorry!" Rong Shui said from the side.
