My whole family traveled across time with an encyclopedia

Village Chief Ning came to inspect the fields every day. He looked at the well-organized tenants with satisfaction. After finding no problems, he turned and walked back to the city. His turning movement suddenly paused, and he almost sprained his feet.

Fortunately, Ning Day next to him helped him in time, so nothing happened.

"Uncle Village Chief, be careful and don't flash your waist. It wouldn't be good if you get injured at such an old age." Ning Dayou said worriedly.

Village Chief Ning pushed his arm away and said with an unconvinced look, "Go, go, what's going to happen? I just stood for a long time and my bones are a little stiff."

"The village chief said that you are busy with the county government affairs every day, and you also have to come to inspect the fields. In fact, you don't have to come every day. We can just come once in a while. If it doesn't work, I will come here for you." Ning Da Some are still persuading.

Village Chief Ning retorted, "What kind of business is this? I don't trust it if I leave it to you. This is the land of Changrong's family. He handed it to me personally before he left. I have to take a good look at it. There are also those pumpkin seeds. It doesn't matter." What do you know about such a big event?"

Ning Dayou said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I don't understand anything. But you really need to take good care of your body and bones." Young people are not afraid of falling, and older people may fall if they don't fall today. It’s gone.

After Ning Changrong's family moved away, Village Chief Ning became their backbone. They always liked to talk to Village Chief Ning to discuss anything they had to do.

These are all habits I developed after living in the village for a long time.

Village Chief Ning said he was tough, but in fact he was a little weak in his heart. He could feel that he was indeed getting older.

On the way back to the city, I kept meeting people saying hello to Village Chief Ning, and Village Chief Ning also cheerfully said a few words to others.

When they arrived at the city gate, the guard saw Village Chief Ning and the two at a glance. Village Chief Ning passed by here at least twice every day, and even those who didn't know him were familiar with them.

"Mr. Ning is out of the city again." The guard chatted with a smile.

Village Chief Ning smiled and said, "Go and see the crops in the fields."

"You are really diligent. You are busy with things in the city and still go out to see the crops every day. You are getting stronger and stronger." The guard smiled and gave a thumbs up.

"I'm old, I'm old. Okay, I won't disturb others when they enter the city. I'll leave first." Village Chief Ning said with a smile and left.

A few guards were chatting in the back.

"I heard that this old man planted some kind of food in the ground, so he went to see it every day. Do you know what he planted?"

"It seems to be something called a melon."

"That's not food. Is this food enough for you? Why do you grow it?"

"I heard from my brother who was a soldier in the past that pumpkin is food. It can be used as a vegetable or as food. It can make you full. It came from the West and we don't have any land here."

"Can this thing really be used as food? What's the yield like?"

"How can little people like us know? But I heard that the field Mr. Ning inspected belongs to Mr. Ning, and the yield is probably not low. Otherwise, what would they do with it?"

"That's true. I heard that the place is strictly guarded. No one is allowed in except a few selected farmers."

……

After returning home, Village Chief Ning was wondering whether he should resign as an official.His family is well aware of his physical condition. In the past few years, he had no problem going to the ground every day. However, in recent years, his health has become worse and worse. Sometimes he worries that he will never wake up once he goes to sleep.

For him, a lifelong old farmer can put on official uniform, which is a matter of honor for his ancestors. However, he has to do the things that Ning Changrong arranges for him, and his body cannot support it. He has to work hard on both sides, and he has to make choices. I decided to resign from the position.

He is the head of the family, so there is no need to discuss it with anyone. Village Chief Ning will go on duty after eating at home.

After a day's work, I was going to find someone behind the county government office.

"Mr. Ning." The county captain smiled and greeted Village Chief Ning.

According to his rank, he should be the one greeting him, but there was someone behind Village Chief Ning, and the entire county government was polite to him, or to a group of Ning Changrong's fellow villagers.

"What's the matter?" the county lieutenant asked proactively after saying hello.

Village Chief Ning said hello first, and then explained his intention.

He knew clearly for whose sake these people were being so polite to him. Without Changrong, they were nothing, so he would work harder to complete what Ning Changrong ordered him to do while he still had the strength. when.

"What? You're doing a good job, why don't you do it anymore? Tell me if you encounter any problems." The county captain asked in surprise.

Village Chief Ning shook his head, "I feel that I am getting older and I can't keep up with the energy. I have to go to the fields outside the city every day, and I have less time to devote to government affairs. I am always looking for a job in my position. You can’t just occupy the latrine and not take a shit.”

The county lieutenant did not show disdain because of the roughness of what the other party said. Instead, he frowned and said with a serious expression, "I can't make the decision in this matter. Let's do this. I'll take you to the presence of the county magistrate."

Village Chief Ning followed the county captain to the backyard of the county government office. The new Taixi County Magistrate was promoted after Ning Changrong left. However, he did not interfere in personnel affairs. He met with him before leaving, and the other party also followed his decree. Continue to manage the entire Taixi County.

After hearing the purpose of Village Chief Ning's visit, the county magistrate was silent for a while and said, "According to you, patrolling the fields should not take more than a few months. After all the pumpkins are harvested, won't you have time to continue handling official duties?" Are you there? There’s no need to leave.”

The other party's background is really too great for him to treat carelessly.

Village Chief Ning said firmly, "I know my situation. I'm old. Sometimes I can't even read clearly. Staying here will cause trouble. You don't have to worry about Changrong. I will make it clear to him. It has nothing to do with you.”

The county captain and magistrate breathed a sigh of relief.That's what I want.

Seeing that the other party had decided to leave, the county magistrate no longer tried to persuade him to stay, "Okay, since you have made your decision, old man, I won't force you to go back and hand over the matters in your hands to others. If you have any questions, just come and come." Come to me and I will take care of it for you."

Village Chief Ning nodded and returned home quietly. It was only during dinner that he informed his family that he had resigned from his job at the county government. He could make the final decision on his own affairs, but as a family member, he should still be informed.

Village Chief Ning's son and daughters-in-law all agreed after hearing this.

"It's time to resign. Look at you. You go out early and come back late every day. You are busier than young people. I feel scared when I see you."

"Yes, dad, you don't care how old you are. It doesn't matter if you resign, our family is not without money. If we really encounter trouble, we can go to Evergreen and there is no need for you to become this official."

Although Village Chief Ning has made a decision, he still feels a little empty in his heart.

He complained: "Humph, if you had the ability, would I still be so busy?"
