Chapter 355 Little Unlucky (two more)

Today’s dinner was made by the maid. Yu Ya’er accidentally added more firewood behind her, which made the few dishes that Xiaojingkong was frying a little muddy.

Xiao Jingkong was not picky eaters, he ate up without leaving anything.

He wants to grow up quickly, he will be able to marry Jiaojiao when he grows up!

On the other side, Xiao Liulang, who is in Pingshan Village, didn't know that his wife was missed by the little guy. He was helping the villagers carry wood on the ridge.

There was also an inspector from the household department who moved with him.

A dozen people lined up in a line, without moving the place, the wood was handed over from the first person one by one.

In a shed not far away, King An Jun is helping Shangshu of the Household Department to sort out the account books of this trip to the countryside.

The household department of this dynasty is in charge of the country's territory, fields, household registration, taxes, salary and all financial matters, including farming.

They went to the countryside this time for disaster relief, and also to help villagers dig canals to divert water and rebuild their fertile land after the disaster.

Insufficient manpower, officials have to do some things by themselves.

Anjun Wang suddenly appeared in the team on the day of departure. Before that, no one had heard that he would go to the countryside with him.

Jun Wang's leg injury was almost healed, and he was able to go to the ground, and Taifu Zhuang sent someone to say hello to Hu Bu Shang Shu, so he was left by Hu Bu Shang Shu to do some leisurely work.

While keeping accounts, he inadvertently glanced at Xiao Liulang beside the ridge.

Because of the hot weather, the villagers all took off their shirts, even the inspector of the household department was shirtless, and Xiao Liulang's white shirt looked particularly dazzling.

His clothes were soaked in sweat, and they were tightly attached to his body. On weekdays, he was covered by a thick official robe that was not obvious. At first glance, I can see that his figure is stronger than expected.

His sleeves are rolled up high, revealing a well-structured forearm.

Jun Wang squeezed his forearm subconsciously.

I don’t seem to be as strong as him?

Furthermore, Wang Anjun vaguely remembered that when he was in the country a year ago, Xiao Liulang was not taller than him. Why does he look so much taller now?

”Edited by Zhuang, can this be done?” Hubu Shangshu reminded.

”It's almost.” The King Anjun came back to his senses and handed the last page to the Household Department Shangshu after liquidation, ”Okay, please look at it.”

Xiao Liulang and the villagers have been busy until the day is gone.

The folks baked flat cakes, steamed wowtou, and mixed pickles for the big guys. The original intention was to kill chickens, but was rejected by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development: ”The imperial court will not search for the people's fats, take the people's money, or greet the people for a grain of rice!”

These rice noodles and grains are also paid to the villagers.

Anjun Wang was a little uncomfortable with eating, even in Chen Guo's hardest days, he had never eaten this kind of food, he thought Xiao Liulang had a good taste.

Xiao Liulang and the villagers sat on the ridge together, without the image of a Hanlin official.

An uncle from the village came over, sat down next to Xiao Liulang, and asked with a smile, ”Master Xiao, are you still used to eating?”

”Very good.” Xiao Liulang said.

Xiao Liulang treats people in a cold manner, unlike the king of Anjun, who is always gentle and jade, and looks like a humble son, but he works the hardest, and the least pretentious, and the folks are more willing to approach him.

Uncle    took advantage of the unpreparedness, took a boiled egg from his arms and gave him: ”Hot, eat it quickly! I think you have been tired for a day, and you work harder than we eat in the field! Your aunt cooked it for you!”

Xiao Liulang refused and said: ”No, I'm full, Uncle Zhang will eat by himself.”

The uncle forcibly stuffed the egg into his hand: ”Hey, let you eat it, you can eat it! Last time the dog egg had trouble with his stomach, if you didn't give him the medicine, how could he heal so fast! And last time, Li is being bitten by a poisonous insect, and you are treating it. It has nothing to do with the court, it's all your own medicine!”

Gou Dan is the youngest son of the uncle and the aunt.

Uncle had no knowledge and knew that medicine was very expensive. Master Xiao emptied his own medicine bag in order to treat the sickness of the villagers. He didn't know how much money it was. In short, it was definitely not something that an egg could repay.

Uncle    sighed: ”You don’t want to eat. When you go back later, your auntie will have to talk about me. You don’t know how capable this lady is...”

Xiao Liulang finally accepted the egg.

Uncle    was so happy, he talked about a lot of things in the village with him with relish, until the dog egg called him, he reluctantly left, which means that tomorrow he will come to Xiao Liulang again.

Xiao Liulang also returned to the shed where he lived temporarily.

The shed is a temporary structure. There is only a table, a cabinet and two wooden beds stacked with benches. One belongs to him and the other belongs to King An.

An Junwang is more delicate than him, and he also puts a mosquito net.

He didn't use mosquito nets. He had mosquito coils made by Gu Jiao, but he didn't need mosquito nets.

It was not too late at the moment, and he planned to go to the nearby forest to gather some medicinal materials for Gu Jiao.

He couldn't name the medicinal material, but he saw Gu Jiao drying it in the yard several times.
