Old Li Tou didn't seem to hear clearly. He replied casually: "My surname is not Fu, my surname is Li."
The prince quickly corrected him: "Old man, I'm not asking you what your last name is. I'm asking you, do you think you live a happy life?"
Lao Li said with a straight face: "You're a lucky guy."
The prince was shocked by this answer. He couldn't help but ask: "Old man, the whole court and all the princes are worrying about you and thinking about you. With so many people caring about you, don't you think so?" Are you happy?"
Lao Li pouted and said, "You kid, what kind of dogs are you talking about as officials? Why are they thinking about us? Are they thinking about the little food we have left at home?"
The prince glanced at Lao Li, feeling that he was completely unreasonable and without any sense of gratitude, so he couldn't help but fell silent.
The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the sun in the sky became more and more poisonous. After a while, the prince was sweating all over, and he felt uncomfortable all over.
In the East Palace, he had never suffered such a crime. When the weather gets hot, ice cubes are placed in his palace early.
There was also a maid fanning him. This was the first time he felt the heat since he was so old.
I have to say, this feeling is not pleasant.
Not long after, they came to the end of the field, and the prince suddenly heard the voices of several girls chirping.
He couldn't help but look up and saw an old man and two village girls coming to work on the adjacent field.
The older village girl has dark skin and is very handsome. Her smile revealed two dimples, and her white teeth made her look even more beautiful.
For a moment, the prince was stunned.
The village girl was ashamed by the prince and quickly turned her face away.
The next moment, the three of them, father and daughter, dived into the sorghum field and were never seen again.
But vaguely, the sound of their cheerful conversation could be heard.
"Sister, I'm following the old Mr. Li's family. Whose son is he? He's quite handsome."
"Tch, Xiaonizi, I think you are in love with spring, right?"
"Sister, what are you talking about? Do you dare to say that you don't think that young man is handsome?"
The prince has grown so big that he has received compliments from many people, but today he feels that the compliments from these two village girls are the most sincere and make him happy the most.
Old Li Tou chuckled and said: "Mr. Liu, that girl just now is the eldest daughter of Mr. Li's family. She is a handsome girl from our ten miles and eight villages!"
"If it weren't for the fact that her family was poor and couldn't afford the bride price, she would have been married off long ago. If the young master fell in love with her, he might as well give her family some money and take her as his concubine, which would be considered a blessing for this girl. ”
For these poor tenants, it is indeed a blessing for their daughter to marry into a rich family as a concubine.
The prince shook his head and said nothing.
Next, he took a hoe and followed Lao Li Tou into the sorghum field.
The sorghum was the sorghum of later generations. At this time, it was already as tall as a person. It was airtight and extremely hot inside.
As soon as the prince got into the ground, he was suffocated by the heat, and sweat flowed into streams all over his body.
Farm work is really hard.
The prince looked at the five members of Lao Litou's family and found that they were used to it. Although they were also sweating, they were not as exaggerated as him.
The prince shook his head, picked up the hoe and started weeding.
As soon as the hoe came down, a piece of sorghum fell to the ground. The grass next to the sorghum root was still growing there intact.
Seeing this, Lao Litou next to him felt heartbroken.
He snatched the hoe from the prince's hand and said: "Mr. Liu, if you are not used to the hoe, it is better not to use the hoe. Just like Tiedan and Gangdan, just pick up the grass with your hands."
Tiedan and Gangdan are the names of Lao Li's first two grandsons. Although these two children are young, they also go to the fields with the adults and work seriously.
The prince followed the good example, threw away the hoe, and began to squat down to weed like the iron egg and the steel egg.
From time to time, sorghum leaves scratched my face and body, causing it to feel very prickly. As time went by, the ground became hotter and muggier.
After squatting on the ground for a while, the prince felt his waist and legs hurt, and his whole body felt weak.
When he looked up again, he found that the two little ones, Tie Dan and Gang Dan, were picking grass much faster than him, and they were far ahead of him.
Half an hour later, the prince felt dizzy, golden light flashed in front of his eyes, and he couldn't help but sit down on the ground.
Upon seeing this, Old Li Tou quickly helped the prince to the ground and let him rest.
They also took out a water jug to let him drink water, fearing that the rich man would be overheated, and his family would definitely not be able to afford it.
After resting for a long time, the prince finally recovered.
At this moment, he never thought about happiness. He just wanted to take a good bath, eat a piece of iced watermelon, and then lie in bed and have a good sleep.
At noon, Mr. Li's family had a big belly and struggled to bring them food.
It's still steamed buns and porridge.
In fact, for them, steamed buns are only eaten when they are afraid of running out of energy while doing farm work.
If you don't do farm work, you won't even be able to afford bread.
Old Li Tou called the prince to have lunch with him. Although the prince was very hungry, he still couldn't swallow it after taking a bite of the steamed bun.
He was just like the morning, he still only took one bite and then stopped eating.
It wasn't until the sun set that Old Li Tou and his family stopped working.
At this time, the prince was tired and hungry. He was sweating all over his body and his body was so limp that he couldn't lift any strength.
When I got home, I washed my face. Li's family had already prepared dinner, and the family started to eat dinner.
Just when Lao Litou and his family thought that Mr. Liu still couldn't eat the steamed buns, they planned to eat his portion if he stopped eating for a while.
They were surprised to find that Mr. Liu was chewing the steamed buns fiercely, stretching his neck even though he was choked.
After three times, five times and two times, one steamed bun was completely eaten, and he even had to find a second steamed bun.
It's a pity that there is only one wotou for each person, so there is no extra food. Their family does not have so much food to waste.
Mr. Liu smacked his mouth again and drank three large bowls of porridge. His stomach was round after eating, and then he let go.
…
In the Ninglu Hall of Ningguo Mansion, Jia Yun was reporting to Jia Huan on Mr. Liu's performance at Lao Li Tou's house today.
(A book friend left a message saying that the two main buildings of Rongguo Mansion are Rongxi Hall and Rongqing Hall. The Ningguo Mansion should also start with Ning. The author of the dog took it seriously and changed its name to Ninglu Hall, focusing on one who listens to advice. .I will find time to modify the previous ones slowly.)
Jia Huan couldn't help but smile when he heard the prince munching on steamed buns and drinking porridge from a large bowl at night.
I am so hungry that I can eat anything.
And this is just the beginning.
Only one day has passed in seven days! Jia Huan felt that after seven days, the prince would definitely undergo a transformation!
Jia Yun reported again: "Third uncle, you asked me to inquire about Bachelor Qionghua's family history, and I actually found out something today."
"This Bachelor Qiong Hua is a decent man, but his youngest son Qiong Yu is extremely incompetent."
