chapter 69

The weather was not very good that day, the sky was covered by dark clouds, the sun could not fall down, there was no wind, and the air was stuffy.

I don't know if it was affected by the weather, or because he was nervous as he got closer to Niujiao Town, Yunlin Yunshan became more and more silent, he kept wiping his sweat, and even his breathing was a little messy.

Yunjing saw it in his eyes and was entangled in his heart.

Grandpa and father, at this time, bear the pressure that they should not have to bear in their identities.

Maybe they don't know where this pressure comes from, but they just can't help feeling uneasy.

They are more nervous than Yunjing about what they will face next...

In the distance, the archway outside Niujiao Town that had stood for an unknown number of years was already in sight, and they hadn't had any accidents along the way.

When he saw the archway in Niujiao Town, Yunshan put away the hatchet that was sharpened just in case, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings after entering the town.

After four years, Yunjing came to Niujiao Town again, and Yunjing was somewhat moved.

Four years, whether it is long or short, but the time seems to have forgotten Niujiao Town. Looking around, what it was like four years ago, it is still how it is now, Yunjing did not realize that it is the same as it was four years ago Nothing much has changed.

The so-called rapid changes have nothing to do with the current situation. In a trance, Yunjing thought it was just yesterday that he came to the town four years ago...

"Uncle Lin, Brother Shan, this way..."

Zhang Changgui had already waited under the archway at some point, and when he saw Yunjing and his party far away, he waved and said hello. It was obvious that he was extremely concerned about this matter he had single-handedly facilitated.

"Brother Changgui, why are you here? Didn't you say we met at the market?" After walking in, Yunlin looked at him and said in surprise.

But his tense face did not ease because of Zhang Changgui's appearance.

Zhang Changgui smiled and nodded at Yunshan as a greeting, and then smiled at Yunlin: "Uncle Lin, I was afraid that it would be difficult for you to find me in the market, so I waited for you here early in the morning. Come on, let's go, Mr. Li has agreed, let your grandson take the school exam today, we will go there now, lest people wait for a long time."

"Brother has a heart," Yunlin said gratefully, a little flattered, hearing him say that Mr. Li agreed, and he was a little bit relieved along the way, because he was afraid that he wouldn't even see him in person. How embarrassing.

Zhang Changgui didn't know about Yunlin's psychological changes, so he smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just a few steps left and right."

While speaking, he was observing the cloud scene out of the corner of his eye.

After four years, he hadn't changed much, but Yunjing had changed a lot. When Zhang Changgui saw Yunjing, Yunjing was still a chubby little boy in his early two years old.

Now Yunjing has grown taller, thinner, and much darker than before.

Looking at Yunjing, Zhang Changgui was a little stunned.

He still remembers the scene when he got along with Yunjing back then. At that time, Yunjing gave him a very natural feeling, but it was obviously different from children of the same age, but looking at it now, Yunjing was ordinary and unremarkable. There is no difference between the peasant children in my impression!

To put it simply, Yunjing made him feel that there was nothing special about it.

As a result, he felt somewhat uneasy, and strictly speaking, he should be disappointed!

"Don't it mean that after all these years, living in the country, this child has lost his original spirituality?" Zhang Changgui murmured in his heart at this moment.

If this is the case, today's matter is probably a bit of a mystery, no, if that is the case, this matter is designated as yellow!
Yun Jing, who was riding on the big black back, keenly noticed Zhang Changgui's sizing up, and immediately smiled at him showing his snow-white teeth.

Facing Yun Jing's gaze, Zhang Changgui gritted his teeth. No matter what, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and put aside those entangled thoughts in his heart. Facing Yun Jing's gaze, he said with a smile: " Your name is Yunjing, right? Do you remember me? When we met in the town, you were so old in the blink of an eye."

"I remember you, Uncle Zhang, how have you been all these years?" Yun Jing smiled and turned over and jumped off the back of the bull.

Seeing his movements, Yun Shan's heart was in his throat, for fear of falling, but when he reached out to catch it, Yun Jing was already standing firmly on the ground.

Zhang Changgui looked at the little Yunjing in surprise and said, "You still remember me?"

You must know that Yun Jing was only two years old at that time. Although he appeared smart, normally he should not remember such small things. Zhang Changgui's surprise is also reasonable.

"I've been to the town once before, of course I remember Uncle Zhang," Yun Jing said with a smile.

Is it because I have only been to the town once, so I have such a deep memory?Zhang Changgui scratched his head and thought to himself.

At this moment, Yunlin, who was leading Dahei, interrupted and asked anxiously: "Brother Changgui, is it not good for us to lead the cow to Mr. Li's house? Or should I let Xiaoshan wait here? The cow will not took away"

"It's okay, Uncle Lin, don't worry, Mr. Li's family is a big family, there is a special place for tying up the animals at the door, and there will be someone to take care of it when the time comes, so everything will be fine," Zhang Changgui said back.

"Is that so?" Yunlin felt relieved.

After such an interruption, the group of them became quiet. Under the leadership of Zhang Changgui, they each headed to Li Qiu's house with complicated emotions.

Li Qiu’s house is not on the street where Yunlin and the others sold maltose, but in a relatively quiet place on the edge of the town, more than 20 minutes’ walk from the archway. It is a separate yard with a wide road at the entrance. Straight through town.

Surrounding his house are such separate yards. This place looks like a place where rich and powerful people gather together, and you can see police patrolling on the road from time to time.

When Yunjing and the others came, they were even questioned by the police, and they didn't embarrass them when they learned that they were going to Mr. Li's house.

The police questioned very carefully, not only asking about their purpose, but also about their origins, even the big buffalo in Yunjing's family. Fortunately, Yunlin brought the certificate issued by the government when he bought the cattle, so nothing happened.

It's not that Yunlin is so careful, but he has inquired about people in the village who have cattle before coming here. It is best to bring a certificate when traveling with cattle...

No, if there is no evidence, Yun Jing guesses through the policeman's vigilant eyes, maybe he will be taken to the Yamen for interrogation as a cattle thief. After all, the people living around here are not ordinary people, so the policeman dare not take it lightly.

In the final analysis, this kind of place is not the place for mud-legged people like Yunlin and the others to come, because it is incompatible with the environment here at a glance.

Not long after, Yunjing and his party arrived at the door of Li Qiu's house. After a little scrutiny, Yunjing had seen a rich family in this world.

The courtyard of Li Qiu's house is not small. The gate alone is nearly five meters wide. The vermilion gate is covered with copper nails. There are stone lions more than one meter high on the left and right of the gate, and the fence that is nearly ten meters high extends out tens of meters!

Under the stone steps outside the gate, there are four or five stone pillars on the left and right to tie the animals, and in front of it is an open area the size of half a basketball court. It is conceivable that if there is any happy event in his family, there will be only a few people who come to congratulate him. I don't know how crowded the area at the door is.

When Yunjing looked at his house, Zhang Changgui told them in a low voice, as far as he knew, this Mr. Li lived in a courtyard with four entrances, and there were hundreds of rooms alone!

Hearing this, Yun Jing couldn't help sighing, this is the real rich family, the real big family.

If there are such luxurious families in a small place like Niujiao Town, what do those real wealthy families look like?
Thinking of the houses in Xiaoxi Village that looked like they could be blown down by the wind, Yun Jing couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no matter in which world, the poor will always be the bottom class.

"Brother Zhang, they... are the people you want to bring?"

When Yun Jing and his party appeared at the door of Li Qiu's house, someone came out of the side door and asked.

He is the servant of the Li family who negotiated with Zhang Changgui a few days ago. He looks to be in his forties, looks rather rich, and wears silk and satin clothes.

Obviously that person had been waiting long ago, so Yunjing and the others came out to ask questions as soon as they appeared.

When he was talking to Zhang Changgui, he looked at Yunjing and the others with a slight astonishment on his face, his eyes scanned, and finally fixed on Yunjing, thinking that this is the person Zhang Changgui wanted to recommend?
How is it such an ordinary farm doll!

Before this, this servant of the Li family had thought about many people brought by Zhang Changgui. He thought, not to mention the family situation, at least the person who came here must be a young boy who was a little literate at the age of ten or above. Now he brought an ordinary What's the deal with a common farm kid?
He looks five or six years old, dark, such a child probably can't even read, how can he accept the master's exam?

"Zhao Guanshi, this is the person I want to recommend." Zhang Changgui hurriedly stepped forward to talk, and then turned to look at Yunjing and urged: "Xiaojing, come and meet Zhao Guanshi."

"I've seen Guanshi Zhao." Yun Jing hurriedly stepped forward and looked at the other party's nondescript handcuffs and bowed.

Seeing Yun Jing's gesture of saluting, the corner of Zhao Guanshi's mouth twitched imperceptibly, thinking that this child is really a farm boy who doesn't know etiquette, how can he salute like this with his elders?

He had given up any hope in his heart, and thought to himself that it was really as the master said, today's sincerity was just a formality.

Yun Jing, who didn't know that he had made a joke unknowingly, was still stunned at the moment. This person named Zhao Guanshi, since he is a steward, should have some weight in the Li family. No matter how he looks, he is just a janitor of?

Thinking about Yunjing, he felt relieved. In such a big family, the gatekeeper has face. It is reasonable to let someone with weight and brains come to watch the door, because such a person knows how to protect the face of the owner. Let some simple-minded guys guard the door, who knows when they will hate the guests who come to the door.

After Zhao Guanshi took a look at Yunjing and the others, he smiled and said, "Come with me, the master is already waiting for you."

Just at this moment, the big buffalo in Yunjing's family raised its tail and pulled a lump of cow dung with a splash...

Yun Lin was startled, and immediately said anxiously, "I...I'll clean it up"

As he said that, he was going to get the dung basket hanging on the back of the cow, firstly to clean up the dirt at the door of others, and secondly, cow dung is a good thing for farming.

But at this time, Yunlin was more anxious, if he was turned away because of the cow dung problem, it would be a big mistake.

Unexpectedly, Guanshi Zhao was not only not angry, but looked over and said kindly: "Old man, don't worry about it, I'll let someone clean it up, you just come with me."

As he said that, he shouted towards the door: "Xiao Song, come out and tidy up, and take care of their cattle by the way, by the way, feed some fodder"

"Okay, Manager Zhao," a young man in green clothes and a hat soon came out and said, after saluting Manager Zhao, he hurried over to take the ox rope from Yun Lin.

This situation made Yunlin's family feel at a loss.

It was Zhang Changgui who spoke from the side: "Uncle Lin, listen to Guan Zhao, let's go in, don't keep Mr. Li waiting."

Yunlin glanced at his big buffalo being led by others, opened his mouth and said with some reluctance: "Okay then..."

Manager Zhao shook his head slightly, a little dumbfounded, thinking that he was afraid that we would steal your cow?

Next, Yun Jing and the others entered the courtyard of the Li family under the leadership of Manager Zhao, and they walked through the side door...
