Liang An wiped his face and carried fifty kilograms of grain on his back as he trudged back to Liangjia Village.
As soon as he arrived at the intersection of his house, he saw Mei Jingjing's thin body leaning against the courtyard door, looking around. When she saw her coming, she ran forward happily.
"Master, you are back."
Seeing Mei Jingjing come to greet him, Liang An nodded kindly.
"I'm back. Madam is so wise. Two big fish were exchanged for such food."
It's not that Liang An doesn't tell the truth, it's better to resist some things by yourself.
"ah?"
This time Mei Jingjing was surprised.
"I didn't expect that the master would get so much food in exchange for it. He must be tired. I have already prepared food. The master will follow me into the house and have a rest early. The slave family can't help the master at all. Make the boss laugh."
Mei Jingjing's honest look made Liang An even more happy. He wanted to reach out and pull Mei Jingjing home together, but the weight on his back made Liang An unable to do anything. He could only look at Mei Jingjing and say With.
"Madam, I would like to trouble you a little. Open the courtyard door and I will bring the food into the room."
Mei Jingjing hurried forward to open the courtyard door, and then opened the room door so that Liang An could carry the food in. When Liang An just put down the food, she turned around and Mei Jingjing had already picked up some water from the broken wooden basin at home. There was a broken piece of cloth draped on it that could be used as a rag, but it was actually the cloth used for cleaning in Liang An's home that came to Liang An.
"Master, please wash your face quickly. Let's go to eat later. After dinner, I will boil some bath water for Master, so that Master can have a good rest."
Liang An shook his head, "Don't bother me. I'll go to the river to wash up after dinner. I also have some traps by the river. I want to see if there are any fish. If there are more fish, I will bring them back." No more, it’s the same as today’s lunch. We’ll have double the food tomorrow.”
After Liang An just finished speaking, Mei Jingjing's eyes suddenly lit up.
But he immediately lowered his head.
"They are all slaves, but they actually let the master do these low-level jobs. The master is a scholar."
Mei Jingjing kept saying that she was a scholar, and Liang An shook his head.
"Are scholars noble? Are scholars superior to others? You still have to eat rice that cannot be grown by studying. If you let people who are not scholars guard the border, your wife is looking down on scholars too much."
This is how Dakang suppressed military force and promoted culture, so that the abundant national power could not raise soldiers who were good at fighting, and it was more than enough to protect itself and not enough to be enterprising.
Every year, the taxes paid by the poor people are paid to neighboring countries in exchange for peace.
Under such circumstances, no matter how rich and vast a country is, it is nothing more than a paper tiger.
There will be a day when people will privately reveal their puffy appearance, and then the consequences will be disastrous.
Liang An just finished speaking in Mei Jingjing's ear, and Mei Jingjing looked at Liang An with shining eyes.
"The master is really a scholar. The slave family has never heard of these great principles, but hearing them from the master's mouth really makes the slave family feel that the master should be allowed to study well and become an official in the court. Maybe it can also benefit the party and prevent the master from happening. What about the situation mentioned."
"well!"
Liang An sighed heavily.
"Now that I haven't even passed the exam, why are I talking about this? Let's eat and eat.
But madam, please remember that what I just said cannot be said out loud. "
Mei Jingjing hurriedly agreed, and then immersed herself in eating the broken rice. Liang An looked at the two bowls of broken rice on the table. He had half the bowl and Mei Jingjing only had the smaller half. He couldn't help but put his bowl next to Mei Jingjing. , and gave her some broken rice.
Mei Jingjing hurriedly protected her bowl.
"As the head of the family, I've had enough."
But Liang An looked at her a little harshly.
"What's enough? There was originally a fish that I wanted to keep, but my wife won't waste it. Now that we have food, why do we need to live so tightly?
I know that my wife is here for the sake of longevity, but today’s wedding cannot be such a hardship for my wife.
Not only do we have no wine and no meat, we only have these broken rice and we are not full. What should I do? What’s more, I am a scholar who eats very little and cannot eat so much. "
Tears welled up in Mei Jingjing's eyes, "The master is so kind to the slave family. Whenever there is a need, the slave family will definitely repay the master well."
"Look at what you said. Since we are married, as husband and wife, we should work together."
Just as Liang An finished speaking, Mei Jingjing hurriedly continued Liang An's topic.
"Master, please let me go with you when you go fishing by the river later. I will also study. From now on, I won't be able to catch fish for you at night. Is it good for you to study peacefully?"
"Let's talk about this later."
Liang An declined and quickly finished his meal and was about to go out. Mei Jingjing had just cleaned up the two bowls and hurriedly came to Liang An's side.
"Master, let me go with you. If the master has gained a lot, I can also help him carry it."
While talking, Liang An looked around, found a wooden barrel that was still usable, and carried Mei Jingjing to the river.
After checking the sites one by one, we found three more big fish. Mei quietly cheered as she watched these three big fish.
"The boss is really awesome. Each catty of fish costs seven or eight cents, and these three fishes cost fifteen catties.
According to what the master said, I can almost buy two stones of grain. We can survive this winter.
If I catch them a few more times, I might be able to buy a few acres of thin farmland next spring and live a good life. "
Mei cheered quietly there, while Liang An held her.
"Madam, please don't make any noise. It's best that we know about this, but don't let others find out."
Mei Jingjing knew that she had said something wrong, and hurriedly lowered her head and stuck out her tongue. The expression on her face made Liang feel itchy in her heart.
But after the harvest, Liang An quietly said to Mei.
"Madam, do you want to wait a moment or go back now?"
Mei Jingjing wondered what Liang An meant, and Liang An pointed to the river.
"I wanted to wash up here and come back with the food on my back, but I was covered in stinky sweat."
Mei looked around quietly.
"Master, you'd better go home and I'll boil some hot water for you. It's getting cold now, so don't catch the cold again."
Liang An waved his hand.
"It doesn't matter. A cold bath will be good for my good boy."
"Yeah?"
Mei Jingjing was puzzled, but Liang An had instantly removed his equipment and entered the water in front of her. After reacting, Mei Jingjing covered her face.
"Oh my boss, you are so shameless."
When Liang An heard this, he poured a handful of water on Mei Jingjing in the water.
"Madam, there is nothing shameful about this. We are husband and wife."
Now that Liang An had said this, Mei Jingjing took her hands off her eyes. After all, she had children as old as her who were married two years ago.
Seeing Liang An provoking him in the river, he even came to the river to play with Liang An. Not long after, he was wet and ready to leave, but suddenly he was attracted by Liang An's graceful figure after seeing his clothes wet from behind. An hugged her and pulled her into the water with a plop.
Not long after, a pile of wet clothes appeared on the shore.
Among the reeds next to the clothes, two shiny figures rolled back and forth in a lively manner.
