There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 603 Someone Looks for Luo Cheng (Part [-])
Luo Fucai, who was in charge of transporting the water, and another man who was driving the ox cart couldn't keep up with their speed.

Hu Laoqi was so anxious that he kept urging loudly, "Hurry up, it's getting dark!"

The man driving the ox cart had many methods, he found two more buckets, and hung a bucket on one handrail on one side.

He carries eight buckets, back and forth with ease.

Luo Fucai will die, not as strong as him.

Only transported six buckets, all slower than him.

In this way, Hu Laoqi would have to scold him.

Wushuang held a branch and kept urging behind Luo Fucai.

They were busy until the sun went down, and they watered half of the terraced fields on the hillside.

"There's still half of it left, come back tomorrow morning." Hu Laoqi looked at the hillside, shook his head and said.

He shouted to everyone, "It's time to call it a day, come back tomorrow morning."

"Call it, call it a day."

"Go back to the village."

Everyone talked and laughed and returned to the village.

The men were carrying empty buckets dangling, laughing and chatting as they walked.

The man driving the ox cart is the fastest.

He was at the forefront.

Luo Fucai was driving a carriage, so he didn't need to carry a heavy empty bucket, and he didn't need to walk, instead, he walked the slowest.

Wushuang was sitting on the carriage, holding a wicker branch, whipping Luo Fucai from time to time, "Hurry up, it's not easy to walk in the dark!"

Luo Fucai said bitterly, "If you have the ability, you can drive the car! Why are you urging?"

Wushuang rolled her eyes, "I'm not a driver, why should I drive?"

Unable to fight, unable to say, Luo Fucai had no choice but to compromise and stop messing with Wushuang.

He secretly hated, just wait until he finds someone to clean up Wushuang.

Luo Fucai was the last one to return to the village.

At this time, the village's dinner was already served.

The place to eat is still the open space in front of the kitchen.

Ximei greeted the other two cooks, serving dishes and wine.

Hu Laoqi washed his hands, rolled his sleeves and smiled, stepped forward to help.

When Luo Fucai saw the two of them being intimate, he felt it was very eye-catching.

He mistook a piece of radish for Hu Laoqi, chewed it hard, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Luo Cheng and Li Jiaoniang also had dinner with everyone.

Everyone ate, talked about the work they did today, and the arrangements for tomorrow.

Very lively.

Farmers work at sunrise and rest at sunset.

After dinner, it was completely dark.

Everyone chatted, dispersed in twos and threes, and each went back to rest.

Luo Cheng called Hu Laoqi and arranged a room for Luo Fucai to sleep in.

In the past, when Luo Fucai was not causing trouble, he and Ximei lived in a small courtyard. Now, that small courtyard is occupied by another couple from the village.

Hu Laoqi was annoyed that Luo Fucai was always thinking about Ximei, so he found him a poorer house and lived with the gatekeepers.

Four people squeezed into one room.

When Luo Fucai saw the narrow room, he immediately became furious, "I can't live in such a small room!"

Hu Laoqi sneered, "Can't stay? Do you still want to live in the palace? If you don't want to live, go out and find a place to live!"

You have to pay to live outside, so it’s better to live in the village.

Fortunately, there were four beds in the room, Luo Fucai picked an empty bed, wrapped himself in a quilt and fell asleep.

Hu Laoqi snorted, flung his sleeves and left.

After Luo Fucai was settled, he went to report to Luo Cheng.

Anyway, this is Luo Cheng's uncle.

Hearing his arrangement, Luo Cheng nodded in praise and said, "I didn't ask, that's all."

Hu Laoqi was happy, but he was still worried that Luo Cheng would not be satisfied.

"Dong Luo's family rested earlier, I'm going back."

Luo Cheng closed the courtyard door and entered the main room.

Li Jiaoniang sat under the lamp and flipped through the ledger.

Luo Cheng raised his eyebrows, "It's getting late, don't you want to rest?"

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "There are still a few pages left, I'll finish reading it soon."

Fearing that Luo Cheng would not believe it, she even shook the account book.

Luo Cheng saw that there were only three pages left, so he didn't say anything.

He picked up a pair of small scissors and cut off some of the candlestick's wick, and the candle immediately lit up a lot.

"How's the investigation?" Luo Cheng asked.

Li Jiaoniang has a keen eye, no matter how complicated the accounts are, she can immediately sort out the clues in her eyes.

Luo Cheng admired this very much.

His wife can do anything.

Except...he was staring at Li Jiaoniang's stomach, there was no movement there.

He obviously worked hard.

"No problem." Li Jiaoniang didn't look up, she was looking at the account book seriously, "I have to say, we found the right person, Hu Laoqi is a rough man, but he is still a careful person. Although the handwriting is not very good, but Well done."

How much money was used by the village every day, and how much money was collected, all are clearly remembered.

Moreover, the money spent was not fully accounted for, but clearly understood.

How much money was spent on buying rice, how much is a catty of rice, and the price is recorded.

Buy farm tools, pay helpers' wages, pay a sum, remember to understand.

Luo Cheng said, "With his help watching, it will save a lot of trouble."

"That's right." Li Jiaoniang laughed.

……

Luo Fucai tossed and turned in the hut he shared, unable to sleep.

He pondered something in his heart.

A guy on the other bed in the room got up and went to the hut.

Luo Fucai rolled his eyes, took a small box from his sleeve and held it in his hand, followed the boy out of the room.

The boy came back from the hut, yawned and wanted to go into the house and go back to sleep.

Pulled away by Luo Fucai to a place far away from the house, "Second son, second son, do me a favor."

The boy rubbed his eyes, "Uncle Luo Liu, what's the matter?"

Everyone in the village knew that Luo Fucai was Luo Cheng's distant uncle. Luo Cheng called Liu Shu, and everyone followed suit.

Luo Fucai stuffed the small box in his sleeve into the boy's hand, and said with a smile, "Be careful, and do me a favor."

The boy went to the place where the lantern was hung at the entrance of Zhuangzi and looked carefully, and found that it was a small ceramic box with a carved and hollowed-out cover, hexagonal, and the size of the palm of your hand.

This is pretending to be a cricket.

The boy has seen the sons and buddies of the big family play.

The shopkeeper sells it for twenty coins each.

However, most shopkeepers don't sell as good as this one, and this one is probably worth fifty coins.

Seeing that he couldn't put it down, Luo Fucai smiled and said, "I brought it back from the northern region, and a general rewarded me. This one sells for [-] yuan each in the treasure shop."

Three hundred texts each?
So expensive!

No no, it's worth the money!

The little boy stuffed it into his arms with a smile, "What can you do for me, tell me Uncle Luo Liu."

Luo Fucai pointed to the outside of Zhuangzi, "There is a bamboo forest in that place, go and call my nephew Luo Cheng, and say that I asked him to talk there."

"Oh, ask Dong Luo's family, okay, okay, I'll go find him right away." The little servant happily ran away.

Luo Fucai hooked the corner of his lower lip proudly, took out another rouge box from his sleeve, and walked to the place where the other two cooks lived.

He called out one of the cooks and begged her to call Wushuang to talk to the bamboo forest outside Zhuangzi, "I have something important to ask her, you must help me."

The cook is a fat woman in her forties, she is a little impatient, "There are so many people in this village, can't you talk in the village? Do you have to go outside? She is still a girl."

Luo Fucai handed a rouge box to her, "It's from the North, good stuff."

"What do I want this for as a woman?" Fat women don't care.

"This is worth three hundred coins, so it's good to give it away." Luo Fucai said.

The woman opened the cover to see if it was right, it was still new and had never been used.

"You can't bully other girls." The fat woman warned.

"No, no, no, she knows martial arts. How dare I bully her? If you don't believe me, ask Hu Laoqi. I was almost beaten to death by her when I went to water the hillside today. That girl..." Luo Fucai hated He gritted his teeth with hatred.

"Wait, I'll call her." The fat woman stuffed the rouge box into her purse and went to look for Wushuang.

Luo Fucai flicked his sleeves proudly, and strode towards Li Jiaoniang's yard.

He arrived at the gate of the courtyard and found Luo Cheng walking out of it.

Luo Fucai hid in the dark, and when Luo Cheng passed by, he walked lightly into the yard, stood at the bottom of the steps and called Li Jiaoniang, "Eldest nephew and daughter-in-law?"

After Luo Cheng left, Li Jiaoniang was wrapped in a quilt and wanted to go back to sleep, but she heard someone calling her outside.

Luo Fucai was the only one who called her niece and daughter-in-law.

This Luo Fucai, at night, what is he shouting for?

Li Jiaoniang lit the lamp and looked at the hourglass timer on the table, it was not yet the second watch.

"Come on!" She replied angrily.

Li Jiaoniang put on her clothes, found a handkerchief to wrap her hair, and went to the outside room.

She held back her yawn, and asked Luo Fucai angrily, "What's the matter, Sixth Uncle?"

Luo Fucai slapped his thigh anxiously, "Eldest nephew and daughter-in-law, something happened!"

Li Jiaoniang narrowed her eyes, "What happened?"

"Yes... the elder nephew."

Li Jiaoniang's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly asked, "Luo Cheng? What's the matter with Luo Cheng? Didn't Luo Cheng go looking for you? What's going on?"

Luo Cheng had just gone out, and the boy who heard the call said that it was Luo Fucai who had something to do with Luo Cheng.

"No, I didn't look for him! It's... someone else looked for him!" Luo Fucai sighed heavily, "It's a woman, a young and beautiful woman!"
