Chapter 245
Xu Ning looked at Huo Yunchao who was so excited that he shed tears, and his eyes turned red: "My husband, please go back to the house to change clothes first. I will be there in a moment."
"Yun Chao doesn't understand the affairs of my daughter's family. Please take good care of my Ning Niang."
After Huo Yunchao finished speaking, he bowed his hands to several female elders and went back to the house to change clothes.
When Huo Yunchao entered the house, Aunt Yao, Aunt Ma and others gathered around.
Aunt Yao was not afraid of Xu Ning's misunderstanding, so she said something: "Mother Ning, you don't have to entertain us. Go and pack Yun Chao's luggage quickly. Remember to give Yun Chao some extra money to spare. The poor family is rich, and even when you go out, you need to drink water. Spend money to buy it, even if you give Yun Chao five taels, it's not too much."
Aunt Ma nodded and agreed: "Yes, I heard Aunt Yao right! Yun Chao is not a prodigal who spends money lavishly. You and your wife have a child again, and Yun Chao will only save money than before."
"Yes, yes! Ning Niang, it's true that you are in charge of the house, but the big men really can't live without money. If people know about it, they will laugh at Yun Chao."
"Hey, what are you talking about? Ning Niang, hurry up and pack your luggage. We are going home now."
……
After several aunts talked about their opinions and suggestions, they left Xu's house very wisely.
Xu Ning sent these kind-hearted ladies away, opened the door and entered the house and asked Huo Yunchao: "Ms. sir, I only have six taels of silver left on hand. Is it enough for you to spend? If not, I will go to Father Huo to borrow three or five taels for emergencies." .”
"Six taels is enough to buy many, many things. I only plan to take three taels for emergencies. Ning Niang, the county magistrate said he would give me a reward, so don't worry that I have no money to spend."
Huo Yunchao took off his mud-stained clothes and was covered in sticky
The greasy feeling made him frown: "No, I have to take a shower. I don't want the smell of sweat to hit the county magistrate."
"Ms. sir, just wait, I'll get you some water." Xu Ning said as usual.
"Ning Niang! I don't need you to fetch water. Have you forgotten that you are pregnant again? I know you are strong, but I am not without hands or feet. I can do it by myself. Take good care of yourself and your baby. It’s not easy for a child.”
Huo Yunchao didn't like Xu Ning waiting for him here and there. How could he be willing to treat the beautiful daughter-in-law he had worked so hard to get as a maid?
Xu Ning said nervously: "Mr. sir, I can't just sit there and do nothing, right? I'm not used to it."
She is no longer the silly girl who couldn't beat a stick with ten sticks. With Huo Yunchao's encouragement and support, Xu Ning has the courage to put forward her own ideas and requirements, so that Huo Yunchao doesn't have to waste time and energy guessing what she needs.
Huo Yunchao thought for a moment and said, "Ning Niang, while I'm taking a shower, please tell me what the doctor told you and Sister Xiaocao. Okay? Wife, I just need you to accompany me. I can do my own thing, so I won’t bother you. It’s the same idea as you always want to do something for me.”
The uneasiness in Xu Ning's heart dissipated, and she smiled at Huo Yunchao and said, "Mr. sir, I understand."
She likes to communicate openly and honestly with Huo Yunchao. She doesn't have to use any scheming methods. She can just say what she wants and what she doesn't want, just say it.
Time passed quickly, and soon it was time to leave. Huo Yunchao hugged Xu Ning with great reluctance: "Daughter-in-law,
I really want to make you smaller and carry you with me at all times in my pocket. "
Xu Ning was amused by his nonsensical fantasy: "Mr. Huo, don't worry. Father Huo, stepmother and father are all at home. You don't have to worry about me. Take your money with you and don't be reluctant to spend it. You can still survive after the money is gone. Make more money."
Huo Yunchao let go of Xu Ning, and gently rubbed her flat belly with his rough hands. His eyes were overflowing with tenderness and love: "Mother Ning, be good at home and protect our children."
Watching Huo Yunchao leave, Xu Ning's nose felt sore. She tried her best to suppress her inner impulse: she really wanted to go out with Huo Yunchao.
Huo Yunchao arrived earlier than the designated time. The backpack he carried contained not only his luggage, but also snacks sent by Aunt Ma and others. He also held a pot of hot tea in his hand.
"Sir, Master, these multigrain cakes are carefully cooked by my wife. They don't have any sugar. They are crispy."
County Magistrate Chen did not say any polite words to Huo Yunchao. He took the multigrain pancake and put it in his mouth. It was crunchy and salty, and it was very suitable for his taste!
"Yun Chao, your wife is really very handy!"
The master also nodded in agreement: "I have never eaten such crispy and delicious multigrain cakes. When paired with hot tea, it is simply delicious."
Magistrate Chen and his master cleaned themselves up by the stream. The clothes on his body were still stained with mud that could not be wiped off, but his face and hands were clean.
Huo Yunchao didn't show any pretense, and took out a bag of assorted snacks from the bamboo basket: "Sir, Master, if you like, eat more. I also have some snacks sent by some aunties, which are fruitful. Dried and sun-dried small fish are also available.
"
County Magistrate Chen casually picked up a piece of dried hawthorn, which was sweet and sour; "These snacks taste good. No wonder the ancients said that birds of a feather flock together. People who are handy like to deal with people who are handy."
"Sir, Master, sweet potatoes can be stored for several months after being boiled, cut into cubes and dried."
Huo Yunchao took out a small bag of roasted dried sweet potatoes from the bamboo basket, "This is dried sweet potatoes roasted slowly over low heat."
County Magistrate Chen was surprised and delighted: "Huh? This dried sweet potato is so chewy! A sweetness spreads as you chew it! This dried sweet potato is perfect for killing time."
Master Chen took advantage of Magistrate Chen's inattention and took three more dried sweet potatoes. He was soon caught on the spot: "Master, how could you take two more sticks! Hand them over!"
Huo Yunchao saw that Magistrate Chen and his master were "fighting" over two sweet potatoes. He looked at each other and Zheng Shaoxuan, each looking for something to do.
Magistrate Chen had no intention of listening to his plan, so Huo Yunchao simply took out his notebook and wrote down his thoughts and feelings with his homemade fine charcoal pen.
In fact, Huo Yunchao originally wanted to take the opportunity to discuss the "King of Potatoes". He was very concerned about the promotion of sweet potatoes. He wanted to promote sweet potatoes before the famine came, so that more people could rely on their own hands. Grow more food to cope with the major disaster that occurs once in a century.
County Magistrate Chen and his master were playing around and then saw Huo Yunchao writing furiously and Zheng Shaoxuan reviewing students' homework.
The two looked at each other and sat back down in their seats together, eating and drinking.
"grown ups?"
Huo Yunchao wrote the last stroke, but belatedly realized something was wrong. He looked up and met County Magistrate Chen's eyes as bright as the sun.
, my heart skipped a few beats.
County Magistrate Chen sat upright and asked Huo Yunchao with an unprecedented serious expression and tone: "Yunchao, do you really have a way to grow sweet potatoes with a super-high yield of twenty stones per mu?"
"Yes!"
Huo Yunchao nodded yes without hesitation. Under Magistrate Chen's overly intense gaze, he slowly revealed his planting plan.
