Qili Village is a relatively closed village. Whether you are coming from the county seat or Baimaguan Town, you have to walk a mountain road.

Therefore, as long as someone guards the mountain road, basically no outsider can enter the village without knowing it.

The local villagers are an exception, because there are always some trails in the mountains and fields, although they may be difficult to walk.

Therefore, Wei Zhi did not hide his whereabouts in Qili Village. He pruned the flower branches at Bai's house and drank two cups of tea with Mr. Liu. Then he walked out with a guard, hands behind his back, and wandered in the fields curiously.

Wei Zhi is in his prime, and now he is the secretary-supervisor, performing the duties of the prime minister. Of course, his official rank is not very high, just like the six ministers.

But before becoming secretary-prison, he had been demoted to a local county and served as a county magistrate, so he naturally had some knowledge of farming, not to mention that he also grew fruits and vegetables in his own yard.

God may have arranged for all the rain in the summer to fall together last month. It has been mostly sunny since half a month. Occasionally there will be some rain in the evening. It is not heavy and lasts only a short time. It basically wets the ground.

It's gone.

Therefore, at this time, there is very little water in the paddy fields, basically only a shallow layer, and the dry land is even more dry.

Perhaps the recent sunshine has been so good that the rice is heading faster, and the rice left in the paddy fields is slightly bent.

Wei Zhi went to pinch it. About half of the ear of an ear was empty, and the other half was gradually filling up. At this time, there were more grass than rice in the paddy field. Looking over it, except for the grass next to the rice, which had been cleared away.

Except for this, other aquatic plants are allowed to grow.

Wei Zhi sighed. There were a lot of paddy fields in this situation. No wonder the magistrate of Luojiang County specially arranged for people to sing in front of him.

"Let's walk down the river."

The guard responded "Yes".

There are roads on both sides of the river bank, and occasionally there are ditches leading to the fields. The ditches are not big, but they are deep enough and there are many.

As he walked along, he saw Sanjiao. Wei Zhi couldn't help but nod, "Although this village is remote and poor, its water conservancy work is pretty good. If there are no natural or man-made disasters, the people here can live and work in peace and contentment."

You shouldn't have to worry about food and clothing, but you just don't have enough money.

The guard didn't say anything. He only needed to protect the adults. He didn't understand this kind of thing.

Wei Zhi casually picked up a wild vegetable and continued down the river. Not long after walking, he heard the sound of reading loudly from the other side of the river. He couldn't help but stop and look to the other side.

From here, you can just see Mr. Zhuang standing in the classroom.

Mr. Zhuang is leading everyone to read the Book of Songs. Of course, this is Bai Erlang's class. The students on the two rows of desks near the village are immersed in writing.

The teacher asked them to copy the new chapter of "The Great Learning" twice and then recite it. He will explain the meaning later.

Bai Shanbao had already previewed it in advance, so he copied it slowly and confidently.

Man Bao furrowed his little brows, stuttered and recited the broken sentence silently, then recited it silently again, and then picked up the pen to write.

She was a little nervous because she had been obsessed with the "Complete Yellow Emperor's Canon" for the past two days, and she had not previewed any of her homework, not even reviewing the knowledge she had learned before.

What if the teacher called her up to answer a question...

Man Bao wrote more seriously and planned to ask Bai Shanbao about the meaning of this new article after finishing it.

Wei Zhi listened for a long time on the other side of the river with his hands behind his back. He nodded slightly and said, "With the school here, life will be more comfortable. No wonder Mrs. Liu moved her grandson here."

"Sir, would you like to go over and take a look?"

Wei Zhi shook his head, "Don't worry, sir is in class, so we don't want to disturb you. Let's wait a little later."

He continued walking along the river, and as he continued walking, the river turned a small bend and reached a small bay.

Zhou Xi and her three siblings were weeding and watering the vegetable field.

The vegetables in the field are growing well, and all the seeds they planted have grown out. They need to take out some vegetable seedlings and plant them again so that they can grow faster.

But the sun is so strong, of course they can't plant now. Now they just come to loosen the soil, water the vegetable seedlings, and hoe the sprouted grass.

Lose.

Zhou Xi estimates that in about ten days, some vegetables will be sold in the county town.

Mrs. Zhou stood up with support on her waist, took off her straw hat and fanned herself. When she saw Mr. He also stood up with support on her waist, she said, "Third brother and sister, please go back first."

Mrs. Feng also said: "Yes, there are us in the fields. You can't expose yourself to the sun while you are pregnant with your child."

He hesitated, and Fang smiled and said, "Third sister-in-law, please go back, otherwise third uncle will come to pick you up soon."

Both Zhou Xi and Feng couldn't help but laugh. He blushed and said, "I think you want the fourth child to come pick you up. He's not a wooden person."

As she spoke, she looked up and saw Wei Zhi, slightly surprised.

She quickly motioned to her aunt and sisters-in-law to take a look. Everyone turned to look, and when they met Wei Zhi's curious eyes, the atmosphere became a little stagnant.

Wei Zhi saw some caution on their faces. He already knew from the guards that the people in this village had a conflict with the three people not long ago. It was normal to be wary of strangers at this time.

He introduced himself with a smile, "I am a friend of Mr. Bai, and I am staying here for a short time. I am out for a walk in my free time, so I won't disturb your work, right?"

Zhou Xi tightened his grip on the hoe and asked, "Are you Mr. Bai's guest?"

"Exactly." Wei Zhi paused and then said with a smile: "If you don't believe it, just go to the Bai family and ask. I had dinner with the two young masters of the Bai family last night."

"Oh, it turns out that the reception banquet hosted by the Bai family last night was for you." After he said this, Zhou Xi and others relaxed and said with a smile: "Why are you here, sir? The sun is so bright, and the river is so bright."

There are so many mosquitoes…”

Wei Zhi was a little stunned and asked: "How do you know that the Bai family held a wedding banquet yesterday?"

Zhou Xi smiled and said, "My sister told me when she got home."

In fact, Man Bao was curious about what the Jie Feng Banquet was like, so he specifically asked Lao Zhoutou if he had ever had the Jie Feng Banquet.

Of course Lao Zhoutou said that he had eaten it, and gave her an example. Every time her second brother came back late from the county town, he would eat the leftover dinner given to him by the family as a feast for the wind.

Therefore, everyone in the Zhou family knew that a distinguished guest came to the Bai family yesterday, and Mr. Bai specially set up a reception banquet for the guest to wash their hands.

Wei Zhi always had a good memory, and he remembered it after a moment's thought. He smiled and asked, "Your younger sister's name is Man Bao?"

"Yes, yes, it's called Manbao. Have you seen it before?"

I have never seen him, but I have heard about him. I heard from Mrs. Bai that he is a very smart child, as smart as Bai Shan.

I heard that the two of them are similar in age and are not only classmates but also deskmates.

So he always thought that Man Bao was a boy. Could it be that he was actually a girl?
