Mr. Hou also went back with him. This time, he didn't have to rush so much, and the speed of the carriage was much slower.

It took about half a month to return to Xiaxi Village.

Mr. Hou and his servants did not return to their home in the county, but followed him directly to the village.

He found that even if he lived in a mansion in the capital, he was not as comfortable as living in Xiao Hanzheng's house.

The carriage arrived at the door of the house before dinner in the afternoon.

Outside the new house, a shed was specially built to house horse-drawn carriages and bullock carts.

Several people got off the carriage first and walked home, while others got off to put the carriage away.

The door was not closed tightly and opened as soon as I pushed it.

"Grrrr!"

As soon as Shi Qingluo walked through the door, a dark figure fluttered its wings and came over.

Then he kept shouting and rubbing her arm.

Shi Qingluo reached out and touched Dudu's head, "Good boy!"

"Coo, coo!" followed by several more squawks.

When Shi Qingluo looked around, he saw five more big white geese and two more spotted geese in the yard.

She stared blankly, "Aren't these all your wives?"

The dull black eyes turned nimbly, and he raised his head and said proudly, "Cluck!"

of course.

Shi Qingluo's eyes widened, "I really didn't realize that, Goose, you are still a playboy. I'll just go out for a while. You already have three wives and four concubines!"

Listening to her words, Xiao Hanzheng and Mr. Hou were both dumbfounded.

At this moment, Mrs. Xiao and Xiaomei Xiao also happened to come out of the kitchen.

Seeing Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo come back, they were both very happy.

Xiao's mother has become a lot more cheerful and bold these days, "No, recently Daidai brings a goose home every few days."

She chuckled and continued: "The geese have laid a bunch of eggs, but these geese are still protecting them tightly. It seems they want to hatch them by themselves."

"Dadai is also guarding me every day. No one is allowed to come close except me and Baili."

Shi Qingluo said with a smile: "It seems that we will have a group of children soon."

I really didn’t realize that her goose was actually a philanderer who had a harem and hooked up with so many female geese...

Judging from the appearance of those mother geese, they are still very obedient and protective of them.

He shouted a few times stupidly and proudly.

Shi Qingluo coughed dryly, stretched out his hand and flicked his dumb head, "Since you have found so many wives, you have to be nice to them and stop wandering around."

There is no need to continue to have a harem, and the family will become a goose nest in the future.

Dadai was unhappy, "Giggle!"

These are not enough!

Shi Qingluo: "..."

She could only use two words to describe her big goose, "a scumbag!"

He turned his head unhappily, and several other female geese immediately came from all directions, nuzzling him to comfort him.

Shi Qingluo: "..." It's hopeless.

Mr. Hou was full of smiles. It was indeed fun to live at the young disciple's house.

Daidai seemed to have become a spirit, and the other geese looked quite smart.

He smiled and said: "I will go back to the room to rest first."

He has been traveling recently and his old bones are almost falling apart.

The younger disciples and their husbands also want to talk to Mother Xiao.

Xiao Hanzheng took the initiative to support Mr. Hou and said, "Teacher, I will send you there."

Mr. Hou did not refuse the students' filial piety, "Okay!"

The two entered the side courtyard, and Shi Qingluo asked Xiao's mother, "Mom, has anything big happened recently?"

"Have you ever been bullied?" This was what she was more worried about.

Xiao's mother held her hand and said with a smile: "It's nothing serious, we three are doing fine."

She paused and then said: "The Wu family wanted to do harm to our workshop before, but the patriarch and the villagers stopped him."

"Your dad is here to help too."

"By the way, the land on the mountain above the old house has been plowed by the villagers. Baili and I have planted all the seeds you left."

"The villagers also helped plant all the fruit trees on the mountain near the Taoist temple."

Shi Qing smiled and asked, "Have they helped so much?"

Xiao's mother nodded, "Well, it's said that you brought the whole village to make money together. Everyone in the cement workshop can share the money every month. They kept it in their hearts and thanked them, so they insisted on coming to help."

Shi Qingluo nodded, "Then let them go."

These were the reasons why she took out the cement and let the villagers build a workshop together.

Although there is a saying that unruly people come out of poor places, in fact most of the people in the village are very simple, and there are some parents who are a little bit cynical, but there are also many cases where they help each other.

She tied the interests of her family and the villagers together. When their family had trouble, the villagers naturally stepped forward to help.

They were not at home, and the clan leader led the villagers to block the Wu family back, and then came to help with plowing the land and planting fruit trees.

It means that she is right, most of the villagers in the village remember love.

Shi Qingluo asked: "Mother, where is Erlang?"

Xiao's mother smiled and said, "I haven't come back since I went to study in a clan school."

Xiaxi Village became more and more prosperous because of the Xiao family's workshop, as well as the tofu and cement workshops. The clan leader and elders discussed building a clan school.

That is to say, Tong Sheng is invited to enlighten the children of the clan and learn Chinese characters.

Of course it's not free, but it's much cheaper than sending it to a school yourself, and you don't have to leave the village.

Xiao Hanzheng also supported it, so he told the clan leader before that Erlang would go to the clan to study.

I just didn't expect the ethnic school to be established so quickly. It was only under construction when they went out.

"That's very good."

Shi Qingluo took out the gifts he bought and gave them to the two of them.

Xiao's mother and Xiao Baili both liked it very much.

After Xiao Hanzheng came back from seeing Mr. Hou off, he had another conversation with the two of them.

When Erlang heard that his brother and sister-in-law were back, he ran home as soon as he finished school.

Now that the family is eating well, he has become much stronger and taller, and his temperament is becoming more and more cheerful.

I was very happy to receive the gift Shi Qingluo brought from the capital.

After finishing the meal, we took it out to share with friends in the village.

The next day, Xiao Hanzheng and the two went to visit the patriarch's house.

I went to my family's workshop again.

When Shi Qing stayed in the workshop to check out the latest accounts, Xiao Hanzheng was sitting not far away reading.

Just after watching for a while, Bai Xu came.

He walked in with Xiao Si and sighed: "You are finally back!"

Shi Qingluo raised his head and said, "You are very well-informed."

Bai Xu poured himself a cup of tea without anyone noticing, "You and your wife are now celebrities in the county. I knew you were back yesterday."

He looked at Xiao Hanzheng and asked: "I heard that Enke will be opened?"

Xiao Hanzheng put down the book and said, "Well, March has been confirmed."

He asked: "Do you want to take the exam?"

Bai Xu shook his head, "No matter the test, the only way I can become a scholar is because the ancestral graves are smoking. The candidates are too far away from me and can't reach them."

Shi Qingluo chuckled, "You are self-aware."

"If you're not taking the exam, why do you care so much about Enke?"

Bai Xu said truthfully: "I'm not concerned about Enke, I'm concerned about how long you can stay in Nanxi County."

"Kai Enke, if Brother Xiao keeps improving, I'm afraid you won't be in Nanxi County next year."

Shi Qingluo nodded, "That's true."

She asked: "What are your plans?"

Bai Xu smiled and said, "I'm going to hang out with you and your wife."

"Nanxi County is too small, I want to go out and have a look." This was his thought after careful consideration.

Shi Qingluo raised his eyebrows, "You do have discernment."
