Farmer’s Little Girl

  Chapter 524 Gossip

Several people took a look at Mr. Zhuang first, and then took it. The middle-aged man in the lead simply grabbed a piece of naan and sat opposite Mr. Zhuang, and said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, we met twice today. The surname is Li, ranking second in the family, I don’t know how to call your husband?"

  Mr. Zhuang smiled and said: “The only son in Zhuang’s family, if Mr. Li Er doesn’t mind, call me Zhuang Dalang.”

  Man Bao also sat back in his place, and while eating pancakes, he quietly said to his two friends, "Same as Bai Er."

  Bai Shanbao nodded, "People are similar."

  Mr. Zhuang who heard the whisper:...

   Seeing him pause, Li Erlang raised his head and looked at him suspiciously. Mr. Zhuang smiled at him and asked: "Mr. Li Er is not in time for business all the way?"

  Li Erlang smiled and said: "Business in this world is endless, so occasionally I will slow down and walk slowly. According to what the day said, Mr. is going to Yizhou to let the students go to school?"

  His eyes slid over Man Bao's three people, and finally settled on Bai Shanbao, and asked with a smile, "Is it this young man?"

  Mr. Zhuang smiled and nodded.

  Li Erlang couldn't help but praise, "Look at this kid is only twelve or thirteen years old, can he be admitted to the university?"

  He noticed Bai Shanbao when he was in the tea room. One was what they meant when talking; the other was because the kid was holding a book while looking in the tea room. He could see that the other person really saw it.

  It was not easy to talk to Chaliao before, but it is convenient now.

  Li Erlang simply took Bai Shanbao's homework from school.

  Bai Shanbao answered them one by one. Then the question became more and more difficult. He couldn't help but go to see Mr. Zhuang, but Mr. Zhuang smiled and said nothing, so he could only rack his brains to think.

  But still can't help but complain, is this a businessman?

  Who is it?

  Man Bao listened with gusto, Bai Shanbao couldn't help but bumped her with his elbow.

  Man Bao thought for a while, and then quietly reminded him, "It is the unspoken teaching in the Tao Te Ching."

  Bai Shanbao understood as soon as he heard it, and then he answered calmly.

  Li Erlang then looked at Man Bao and smiled with Mr. Zhuang: "Mr. Zhuang has two..." As soon as he lowered his head to Bai Erlang's eyes, he paused slightly and said, "There are three good disciples."

  Mr. Zhuang is naturally humble.

  Li Erlang finished eating the pancakes in his hand, and after drinking his saliva, he went to talk to the farmer on the other side, “What’s in Lao Zhang’s back basket?”

"It's the lotus root dug out in the mud pond," the farmer explained, letting him see the contents in the back basket, "then my son's family has few green vegetables. The lotus root left over last winter was not dug out, so it happened to be dug and taken to the city. To sell in."

  "Is this not sold?"

   "Sold out, sold out, there are only a few sections left," the farmer said with a smile: "It's just that it's not easy to stay in the city, so I went out of the city to live in the Taoist temple."

  Li Erlang smiled and said: "This Taoist temple is pretty good, and it has specially left a quiet room for passers-by to rest."

"Yes, this quiet room didn't exist before. It was built only a few years ago. That's why we dare to stay in the city very late, and wait for people to go out of the city after visiting the night market," the farmer said with a smile: "Change As in the past, we will go home as soon as the application is over."

  Man Bao asked curiously, "Can't you go on the road overnight? You can use a torch when it's dark."

   "Oh, don't you dare, the mountains are deep and dense, and even if one or two people are together, they don't dare to walk the mountain road in the middle of the night."

  Bai Shanbao also became interested, and asked excitedly: "Are there bandits?"

  Li Erlang:...

  The farmer laughed and said: "I have never heard of mountain bandits, but the road is not safe at night, that is, there are no gangsters. What should I do if I run into evil?"

   "Is your home far from here?" Li Erlang was afraid that Bai Shanbao would ask something strange again, and quickly pulled the topic back.

   "It's far, it's nearly two hours to take a trip."

  Li Erlang: "So long?"

"Yes, so we had to go out at dawn. When we arrived at the county seat, the morning market did not catch up. We could only wait for the lunch market. However, there were fewer people buying vegetables at the lunch market, but there were more people picking up the bargain at the night market. It's suppressed, isn't it anyhow sold out?"

  Li Erlang asked, "Have you been sad at home in the past two years? I heard that the floods in Yizhou in the past two years have also affected Maozhou."

"Oh, because of the flood, everyone is now earning their lives," said the farmer. "The family owed a lot of money in order to survive. Fortunately, the weather has been smooth in the past two years. I estimate that it will be able to work for another two years. I have paid off the debt, and I just hope that God will be able to enjoy the meal in the next few years."

   "What debt do you owe that you have to pay for so many years?"

   "Two bags of millet."

  Li Erlang opened his eyes slightly, and asked, “Does your family work for a year, except for what you eat at home, and you still have no more than two bags of millet left? You have to pay it back in four years?”

"I borrowed the millet from the disaster year. The Huizi millet is worth 30 pennies. It should be borrowed on credit, and there is interest. Afterwards, regardless of whether the money is returned or the millet is returned, it must be paid according to the market price." The farmer said. "The money owed is rolling in interest. The price of food in the past two years has not been high. Don't you pay back more? I specially asked Li Zheng to pay it back. I guess it will take four years to pay it off."

  Man Bao blinked and said, "It's like the money that a casino lent to a gambler."

  Bai Shanbao: "Ligunli is illegal, right?"

  White Jiro asked: "Does the government take care of it?"

   "It depends on the situation," Man Bao said as he tore the naan cakes while eating: "If Mr. Yang knew about it, he would take care of it. If Fu Xianling said it would probably be ignored."

   "Linger Fu has been away for several years, why haven't you forgotten him?" Bai Shanbao felt that Madam Fu was also very pitiful.

Man Baoze said: "How could I forget that I just received a letter from Fu Er sister last month, saying that she has already made a marriage and is now in the marriage negotiation, maybe this fall, maybe next spring, I will get married, I Still thinking of what gift to send second sister Fu to the past."

  Li Erlang wanted to continue talking to the farmer, but also wanted to follow Man Bao’s words, so he paused and asked Man Bao, "Which county are you from?"

  "We are from Luojiang County."

   "Luojiang County?" Li Erlang thought about it, and then he remembered, and said with a smile: "Your county magistrate is called Yang Heshu, right?"

   "Yeah, yeah, do you know Mr. Yang?"

   "I have seen it, how about that Master Yang is an official?"

   "Not bad," Man Bao said, "We all like Mr. Yang."

   "Oh? Why is this?" Li Erlang asked with a smile, "Listen to your voice, the former magistrate of Luojiang County has the surname Fu, why, is he bad?"

Mr. Zhuang put down the bamboo tube and coughed lightly.

  Man Bao thought for a while and said: "This is not true. When Fu County Order left, we went to see him off. Mr. Mr. said that if Fu County Order did not work hard, our county would not be tax-free for one year."

  When the farmer heard this, he immediately asked: "Is your county tax exempt?"

  　 It’s a bit stuck when a new character appears, so it’s too late

Good night
