"The car is loaded with brown rice. This is what the second master meant. The second master said that you have just escaped from the wasteland. It will take time to cultivate the wasteland and you may not have to wait for the harvest. You must be short of food, so I asked the master to prepare it for you. It should be the Mid-Autumn Festival." It's a festival." Butler Wang saw Li Pingan stopped and stared at the sacks on the cart, so he explained with a smile.
Okay, the fabrics and snacks have been collected, and there is no shortage of these few hundred kilograms of brown rice. Li Pingan "accepted the situation" and accepted it boldly without any excuse. It doesn't take much thinking to guess that it was because he presented the blueprints of the threshing machine that the superior prefect took such good care of a humble countryman like him.
Keeping this feeling in mind, he secretly made up his mind to do his best to get Qu Yuuli out. This was the only way he could repay Governor Wang.
Considering that Li Pingan and the others did not know how to drive an ox cart, Butler Wang called the driver who drove the ox cart for Mr. Wang's family and asked him to drive Li Pingan and the others back to the village in an ox cart. On the way, he taught them how to drive the ox cart. car.
Li Ping'an felt very sorry. After all, it was already noon. The driver took them to the village and then walked back to the city. It was already dark after one round trip. But there was no excuse. Neither he nor Zhang Xiaoshan and Li Dong had even driven the oxen, let alone the oxcart!
It’s rare to see a cow every now and then. Wherever children like them get their turn, they are just like cows, working and pulling carts.
However, Li Ping'an got started quickly. Within two-quarters of an hour after leaving the city, he was able to learn in a decent manner. In addition, the official road was spacious and there were many passers-by, but it did not affect them. Li Ping'an told the "coach" that there was no need to send them to the village and pick them up. They can just ride the ox cart back on the way down.
The "coach" saw that Li Pingan had indeed learned well and it was good if he didn't bother, so he agreed. When the "coach" left, Li Pingan generously gave him ten coppers as payment for the tuition.
The money was not much, but he was indeed poor. Fortunately, the "coach" didn't mind the lack of money and accepted it with a smile.
The three brothers took turns driving the bullock cart to the village. They were all very addicted to it. They reluctantly left when they were replaced, with smiles on their faces. They stared at the cow with crooked eyes as if they were looking at some treasure.
Zhang Xiaoshan and Li Dong were immersed in joy. Although they were full of curiosity about what Mr. Wang told Li Ping'an and how he could send cattle, grain and cloth to Li Ping'an, they did not ask. They should know, even if they don't ask Li Pingan, they will tell them. Since Li Pingan doesn't take the initiative to tell them, it means they shouldn't know.
When he returned to the village, he immediately caused a sensation. After all, everyone saw that Li Ping'an and the others were pulling a cart in the morning, but when they came back in the afternoon, the puller turned into a cow!
Not to mention that there were so many things in the car, including six bulging sacks and three backpacks. Although it was hard to see what was inside due to the lids, there must be something there. The only ones that were empty were the six wooden barrels.
Those who are not so curious just say hello to Li Ping'an and the other three, and stand on tiptoe to look at the car. The curious ones followed the oxcart and asked Li Ping'an and the others where the oxen came from, what was in the sacks, what was in the baskets, and whether the jelly they sold made them rich...
Li Ping'an couldn't resist the chattering, and Li Dong jumped out of the car, saying "I'll call my second uncle back" and ran away.
Li Ping'an was cursing in his heart, thinking that he would catch this kid and scold him later. Although the bullock cart could not move very fast and it even slowed down in the village, it was really dangerous to jump out of the cart like this. Putting safety aside, he was short of manpower now. If Li Dong jumped out of the car and sprained his foot, wouldn't it delay things?
When he looked back, he sharply saw the village chief Li Jianghe approaching. Li Ping'an quickly shouted: "Seventh Grandpa, Seventh Grandpa."
Those people who were curious and asked questions immediately stopped talking when they heard it. After taking a look, they realized that it was really the village chief who came, and stopped in their tracks.
Zhang Xiaoshan also stopped the bullock cart. After Li Jianghe approached, he glanced at the cow in surprise, then glanced at the things on the cart, and then glanced at the seven or eight people next to him. He immediately Now I understand why Li Pingan called him so eagerly just now.
"Everyone has nothing to do, right? Believe it or not, I will drive you to cultivate an additional acre of wasteland tomorrow?"
They are all from the same village. You can't see them when you look up. Don't you know the nature of these seven or eight people? They can say a few words to the chickens passing by. When he sees Li Pingan, there are cows and a cart of things, he points out. Not sure what to say.
Li Jianghe, the village chief, still has a lot of prestige. As soon as he opened his mouth, one said he wanted to go back to make dinner, and the other said that the chickens raised at home had gone missing and wanted to find them.
"Okay, please go back safely. I'll go to your house later." Li Jianghe said it was impossible not to be curious, but he couldn't do anything like blocking the road to get to the bottom of things.
Li Ping'an nodded, "Thank you, Grandpa Qi. I happen to have something to tell you. I'll go home and settle down first."
Li Jianghe responded thoughtfully, looked at the cow again, smashed his jaw, and left with his hands behind his back.
When they returned home, it happened that Li Erlin and Chen Dajuan also returned in a hurry. Although they just heard what Li Dong said about the situation, they couldn't help but be stunned when they actually saw it.
"Ping, Ping'an, this, this, this..." Chen Dajuan couldn't say anything at all. She kept saying "this" for a long time without getting a word.
Li Erlin was still able to hold his own, and quickly recovered, frowning and asking what was going on.
"Move the things back into the house first, and I will explain to you later!" Li Ping'an moved down the basket for Cao Ya, "Zhang Xiaoshan, take this basket to Cao Ya's house. This is what Mr. Wang ordered." Caoya’s.”
Zhang Xiaoshan didn't even look at it, picked up the basket with one hand and left. He had always been very concerned about his future wife's family affairs.
Seeing Li Ping'an unloading the truck, Li Erlin suppressed his doubts and hurried forward to help. As soon as he lifted the sack onto his shoulders, he roughly guessed what was in the sack.
My shoulders sank, and my heart sank at the same time. This was both cattle and food. What on earth did this guy Li Ping'an do in the city?
He just wanted to finish moving things as soon as possible so that Li Ping'an could explain. He didn't even bother to take a look at the cattle, which were the most important and favorite of the farmers. He made two trips... carrying the last bag of grain back to the house to unload it, and he was anxious. He asked Li Ping'an to quickly tell him what these things were about.
"Those six sacks are all brown rice. They were given to our family by Prefect Wang, who asked Master Wang to give them to our family. The two baskets contain cloth and snacks that Master Wang gave to our family." Li Ping'an wiped his sweat and felt bitter. , came all the way back, and didn't even have time to take a sip of water, "Dad, do you remember what we gave Mr. Wang before? This is just part of the thank you gift."
Li Erlin remembered and took a breath, "Is this just part of it?"
"Well, I also told Mr. Wang something..." Li Ping'an briefly introduced to Li Erlin his promise to Mr. Wang to try to improve the plow, and then without waiting for Li Erlin to question, he quickly continued, "Dad, don't worry Well, Mr. Wang also said that it doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not. Don't be afraid of making mistakes, just be afraid of not doing it. And I can even think of a threshing machine. Although improving plows is difficult, it is not without direction. .”
Li Erlin hesitated again and again, and then breathed out for a long time, "You have had your own opinions since you were a child. Now that you have grown up, dad can't control you anymore. Dad can't understand what you want to do. You can figure it out for yourself. No matter what happens, dad Anyone who can help you carry it will do it for you."
"What are you talking about? Nothing will happen!" Li Ping'an quickly changed the topic, "Dad, please go and see how the cow is doing. Also, where should we raise the cow?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Ruyi's voice calling "big pot" came from outside the house. Within two seconds, she heard her calling "cow" again.
Li Ping'an burst into laughter, didn't it sound like "big pot, cow" to his ears? The pain for this little girl is not in vain, see through the phenomenon to see the essence, her big brother is really awesome!
