Chapter 244 God-given grain
After the sweet potatoes in this wasteland were dug, Magistrate Chen's clothes were stained with mud, but he felt happier than ever before. He took Er Niu to watch Xu Ansheng and others frame and weigh the dug sweet potatoes.
Xu Lizheng and his master were responsible for measuring together. The master added up the data and exclaimed: "Two minutes and five centimeters of land, a total of three stones of sweet potatoes can be harvested! Sir, the yield of sweet potatoes per mu is as high as ten stones!"
County Magistrate Chen raised his arms and shouted: "God bless us for a great victory!"
The rest of the crowd followed Magistrate Chen's example and shouted loudly: "God bless us for a great victory!"
Magistrate Chen said loudly: "Sweet potatoes are a gift from God! This must be delivered to the magistrate as soon as possible, and I will deliver it personally! Yun Chao, follow me to see the magistrate! I hope you know I’ve said it all, the prefect loves the people like his own children, and once the importance of sweet potatoes is confirmed, he will be rewarded heavily!”
Huo Yunchao was mentally prepared and responded calmly: "Yes, sir!"
Magistrate Chen could not be more excited. He watched with his own eyes as Huo Yunchao asked Xu Lizheng and others to plant the harvested sweet potato vines into the ground, and then picked out some dug sweet potatoes and buried them in the soil.
Xu Lizheng had received instructions from Huo Yunchao in advance to find bamboo flowerpots in the village and plant sweet potato vines so that County Magistrate Chen could visually present the sweet potato vines in front of the prefect.
Huo Yun sent a sincere invitation to County Magistrate Chen: "Sir, it's getting late, why don't you go to a humble house to have a rest?"
County Magistrate Chen waved his hand and said: "No need, I want the prefect to know about this God-given food such as sweet potatoes as soon as possible!"
The master said from the side: "Yun Chao, I don't think you need to go home and pack your things. You can set out with us."
Huo Yunchao knew it
In order to gain the trust of County Magistrate Chen, the smooth and sophisticated man should have gone down the slope and nodded in agreement at this time, but he was more thinking about Xu Ning at home: "Sir, my wife seems to be happy. I'm going to go this morning. It’s time to see the doctor. I want to go home for a visit, so I won’t delay your schedule.”
"Is your wife happy? Oh, what a double happiness! Yun Chao, go back quickly. Half an hour should be enough for you and your wife to say goodbye, right?"
Speaking of this, County Magistrate Chen seemed to have thought of something happy, and his smile became brighter: "The young couple is here to keep us company. Yun Chao, please say a few thoughtful words to your wife, and please bear with her nagging."
Huo Yunchao thanked Magistrate Chen for his advice and hurried towards his home. He started running again when he was a little further away.
The master had good eyesight, so when he noticed this, he told County Magistrate Chen: "Master, Yun Chao is really a young man at heart. He can't wait for a moment, and he runs away in public regardless of being polite."
County Magistrate Chen spoke highly of Huo Yunchao: "This son is sophisticated but not tactful. He is full of scheming skills. What is even more rare is his protection and help for his family. I am not afraid that Huo Yunchao is arrogant and arrogant. I’m afraid that he is a hollow person without any care.”
If there are concerns, there are weaknesses, and if there are weaknesses, you can take advantage of them. If the Chen family wants to win, they must go through nine or eighty-one tests, and only after passing all the tests can they make targeted and all-round investments.
Once Huo Yunchao is recognized by the Chen family, then the Chen family will invest manpower, material and financial resources to help Huo Yunchao meet the emperor unimpeded, and go straight to the sky from a commoner!
Master is well aware of the Chen family's style of doing things, and he himself is the beneficiary of this method of recruiting talents.
Or, with the help of the Chen family, he lived a happy life with no worries about food and clothing. He followed his young master to travel around and gain knowledge.
If he can live the prosperous life he wants, then Huo Yunchao can also live the life he wants with the support of the Chen family.
County Magistrate Chen pointed to the whole cart of sweet potatoes and discussed with the master: "Do you think I secretly kept some sweet potatoes? What if my uncle keeps all the sweet potatoes for his own benefit?"
The master endured and endured: "Young master, you can't let outsiders hear these words."
"You are not an outsider, please tell me something right!"
County Magistrate Chen was so greedy looking at those big sweet potatoes, especially the sweet potatoes cooked in the sweet potato kiln, as if they were tailor-made for him.
The master looked around like a little thief who stole something, and said in a low voice: "Master, I missed three baskets of sweet potatoes and asked people to put them in the carriage. Anyway, there is not much difference between three stones and three and a half stones."
County Magistrate Chen said amusedly but helplessly: "You kid! Didn't Yun Chao notice?"
The master touched his nose and said, "Yun Chao found out, but he knew better and pretended not to see it."
County Magistrate Chen laughed heartily at the tricks of these two live treasures, and touched his belly: Hey, hey, the three baskets hidden by the master are enough for them to eat.
Huo Yunchao ran all the way home. Someone called him along the way, but he didn't pay attention. There was only one thought in his head: go home, return to Xu Ning!
Xu Ning and Lin Xiaocao were sitting in the yard, listening to Aunt Ma and others sharing their pregnancy experiences, remembering those seemingly inconspicuous precautions.
Accompanied by a burst of hurried footsteps, the door was pushed open with great force, and the next second Huo Yunchao's short voice sounded.
He shouted anxiously: "Ning Niang!"
"Hey!" Xu Ning stood up and came forward: "Mr., are you running back again?"
Huo Yunchao pressed his hands on his sore knees, opened his mouth wide and gasped for air. His heartbeat was so fast that it was noisy to his ears.
Xu Ning took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from Huo Yunchao. Seeing that he was covered in mud, he said, "Ms. sir, let me wipe your sweat. You can take a shower after you have rested?"
Her husband-in-law loves to be clean and fresh, and he has always hated wearing sticky clothes.
"No, no, no, it's too late."
Huo Yunchao calmed down and told his next arrangement: "The county magistrate only gives me half an hour to say goodbye to you. I will change my clothes, and then I will take a few clothes with me to meet up with the county magistrate. Let's go together." Meet the prefect in person."
Xu Ning thought that Huo Yunchao simply wanted to know whether she was pregnant or not, so he ran home in such a hurry: "Ms. sir, are you going to see the magistrate? How many days will you have to go? What do you need? I'll do it right away. Come in and clean up for you!"
After learning this big news, Lin Xiaocao immediately said: "Brother Huo, wait a minute, I'll call your brother-in-law over."
Huo Yunchao smiled at Lin Xiaocao and made his request: "Sister Xiaocao, I was just about to tell you this. My brother-in-law is well-informed and I need his help very much. As for the progress of teaching in the school, it will only delay Three to five days, no problem.”
Lin Xiaocao ran away after saying this: "Okay. I'll go back right now."
Xu Ning hurriedly stopped her: "Sister Xiaocao, don't run away! The doctor said your fetus is unstable and you need to rest for a while!"
Lin Xiaocao paused for a moment, turned to face Huo Yunchao and was surprised.
With mixed expressions, he said with some embarrassment: "Huo Di, I'm pregnant too."
"Three joys have come to my door! God has been kind to me!"
After Huo Yunchao finished speaking, he burst into tears for some unknown reason. Tears welled up in his eyes. He was about to have a child connected by blood to him. He had really taken root in this different world.
