County magistrate Fu estimated the time, "I remember that in previous years, it was around this time that the sickle was about to be harvested, right?"
"Yes, but the sun didn't shine enough before. I guess it will take another month for the wheat field to turn yellow." After all, it has been raining for so long.
County Magistrate Fu nodded, and praised again and again: "Yes, yes, if everyone is as successful as you and cared about the work in the field early on, maybe the harvest will not be a bumper harvest, but it will not be as good as it is today. It's so hard.
Everyone: ...
Old Zhou Tou said with a silly smile: "Your Excellency has praised you, but in fact there are quite a few hardworking people in the village, and I took advantage of more than one son."
Six sons, four daughters-in-law, one eldest daughter, plus him, one person is in charge of a field, and it takes only a while to drain the water. It is not difficult, but the difficulty is to catch the insects in the field.
It's really hard to catch bugs.
Catching worms and cleaning snails in rice fields is hard enough, but catching worms in wheat fields is even harder.
And they have a lot of families, that is Man Bao, who used to run to the fields every day after school, either pulling weeds or catching insects, so their crops are better than others.
It is not the skill of farming or hard work that wins, but the convenience of having a large number of people.
County magistrate Fu didn't know if he listened, but he nodded anyway.
He inspected the fields around the village, and then went to see Master Bai's land.
After careful comparison, Master Bai's damage is actually higher than that of the villagers, because he has a lot of fertile land.
In the past, the fields near the river were the best because of the convenience of irrigation.
Rice is not drought tolerant, and because it is near water, Mr. Bai puts more care into it, fertilizes more, and weeds with all his heart. After a few years, the fields grow better and better, but this flood, although not all good fields Susukita, but at least the last two years of operation have been ruined.
County Magistrate Fu comforted Master Bai, seeing that it was getting late, he left.
Man Bao followed him to the intersection and waved him goodbye, "My lord, you must remember to give my letter to Second Sister Fu."
Magistrate Fu: Not to mention, he really forgot.
But can he show it
County Magistrate Fu rode on the horse, turned around and waved to her, and said with a smile, "I'll never forget it."
Although magistrate Fu was a little curious about what was written in Man Bao's letter, why did he have so much to say to his second daughter
However, he and the master had something to discuss, so he handed the letter to a servant and asked him to send it to the backyard, and he and the master went to the study to talk.
"My lord, what do you think of the proposal of those two little dolls?" As soon as he entered the study, the master asked straight to the point.
County magistrate Fu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "There is no better way than this, because there is a ready-made person in Jiannan Road right now."
The master knew that county magistrate Fu wanted to go with him.
He couldn't help laughing, and said softly: "Yes, Mr. Wei is just and honest. If he hears that the disaster in Brazil is also serious, he will definitely come and take a look."
"That's right," County Magistrate Fu looked at him and asked, "How can Master Wei know this?"
There are too many operable methods here. First of all, people should not know that he did it, otherwise it will spread, not to mention those colleagues in other counties who did not do well after the disaster. He will not be able to get it from the governor of Mianzhou. good.
The two of them muttered in the study for a long time, and even the dinner was settled in the study. It was late at night before the master left the county magistrate's house.
His house is not far away, just near the county government office, just turn right after exiting the back corner gate.
County magistrate Fu was a little excited and couldn't sleep, so he went out for a walk with his hands behind his back to enjoy the moon.
He lives in an official house, which is the courtyard behind the county office. It is not very big, but it is enough for their family to live in.
So I left the study, walked in the garden for a while, and then walked outside the small courtyard where the children lived.
It was midnight, and there was still a light on. He squinted his eyes for a while and saw that it was the room of the second daughter.
He paused, then walked towards it.
Fu Wenyun in the room was holding a book and reading, but she was actually distracted. She was thinking about Man Bao's letter, and when she heard the knock on the door, she came back to her senses, only to realize that it was getting late.
The maid Qiuyue who accompanied her had already fallen asleep lying on the side, but she woke up quickly, wiped her face and walked quickly to the door, opened the door and saw Magistrate Fu, her eyes almost popped out.
County Magistrate Fu did not enter the door, but stood outside the door and asked, "Miss is still asleep?"
Qiuyue trembled, and whispered: "Miss, Miss is still reading."
Fu Wenyun also heard her father's voice, put down her book and walked over.
County magistrate Fu saw that his daughter was still wearing a coat, obviously she hadn't changed her clothes yet and was going to bed, so she entered the room with her hands behind her back, and asked warmly, "Why haven't you slept so late, what book are you reading?"
Without waiting for Fu Wenyun to answer, he went to the desk and picked up the book spread out on the table. He was taken aback when he saw the cover, ""University"?"
He turned to look at his daughter and asked, "How do you read such a book?"
Fu Wenyun squeezed the corner of her clothes tightly, and summoned up her courage to say, "Man Bao is reading this book, so I want to read it too."
Of course Magistrate Fu knew, because he just passed their homework test today, but... "Didn't your mother say that you were learning the piano, did you have enough time?"
He knew that her daughter practiced the piano for almost half of the day, and she still had to learn female celebrities, so was there enough time
Fu Wenyun looked up at her father, and said excitedly: "Father, I want to continue studying, and I also like to play the piano, but my daughter thinks it is unnecessary to spend so much time. Please talk to my mother and let me spare an hour every day. Time to read, okay?"
County magistrate Fu looked at his daughter for a while, sat down on the chair behind the desk, and asked after a while, "Why do you want to study? Girls can read characters and numbers. Reading is so hard. Look at your brother. Asking him to read every day is like forcing him to do something."
"My brother may not like reading, but my daughter likes it very much." Fu Wenyun said: "I think reading, especially reading books that I have never read before is a very happy thing. I can learn a lot from books. Father , Man Bao is younger than me. More than a year ago, when I talked to her, she always asked me and said that she listened with great interest. But since Zhongyuan last year, she can discuss homework with me and say something about me. What I have never heard before, she can answer everything I say. And since the beginning of spring this year, in our letters, it is that she taught me more, and I taught her less. She has read a lot and I have not read it. Sometimes I can’t catch up with her when she talks about the books I’ve read.”
Fu Wenyun looked at her father earnestly and said, "Father, I don't want to be unable to understand what my friends are saying in the future, just like I couldn't understand what my father and mother were saying before. I want to make many, many friends. I'm choosing friends, not friends choosing whether to reconnect with me."
