Chapter 154 Misunderstanding
noon.
"Dongzhu, Dongzhu, what's in the cloth bag next to our dining table?"
A surprised voice woke Wang Ping'an from his practice. He subconsciously opened his eyes and looked up. It was his grandparents who had returned home from farm work for dinner. His mother was still busy in the kitchen.
Coincidentally.
Liu Dongzhu came in with a plate of vegetables. When she heard what Zhang Guihua said, she couldn't help but reply, "Mom, there's rice in the bag!"
"Rice? Where does the rice come from?"
Zhang Guihua spoke subconsciously. It was the season for planting rice, and there was still a long time before the rice matured, let alone a good harvest.
She couldn't understand why there was an extra bag of rice next to the dining table in their living room.
"Mom, didn't you bring this rice back?"
Liu Dongzhu's face was full of surprise. Seeing Zhang Guihua's puzzled expression, he explained:
"When I woke up this morning, I saw a cloth bag next to our dining table. When I opened it, I saw that there was grain in the bag. I went to the granary first and found that there was no shortage of grain in the granary.
I was just wondering, maybe you borrowed rice from someone, and they returned it today!"
"How could that be? The weather has been good in the past few years, and every household has had a good harvest. How could they possibly borrow grain?"
Zhang Guihua shook her head and denied it, “Not to mention that the rice is still in the seedling stage and hasn’t been transplanted yet, and it’s still a few months away from maturity.
Even if they borrowed our grain, they would have to wait at least a few months for the harvest before returning it. How could they return it so early?"
"Then this food..."
Before Liu Dongzhu could finish his words, Wang Lin interrupted him impatiently, "Dongzhu, do you think this food was sent by Lord Luo?"
"What? Lord Luo, this is mine. It's the rice I worked so hard to grow, okay?"
Wang Ping'an snorted in dissatisfaction.
this morning.
As his practice was over, while his mother was still asleep, he immediately ordered his paper man to rummage through the drawers at home, found a cloth bag, put the harvested rice into the bag, and secretly placed it next to the dining table.
did not expect.
It was actually misunderstood as being sent by Luo Quan!
Although he said this, Wang Ping'an was not angry at all. Instead, he hoped that his family would associate Luo Quan with him and that he would send gifts to their family in the future.
Their family will only think of Luo Quan and will not have any doubts.
natural.
He has to thank his master Taoist Xuanqing for reminding him, otherwise his family would not have associated it with Luo Quan.
"Impossible. Lord Luo is such a great man. He has sent treasures to our family several times during this period. But rice is not a treasure. How could he send it to our house secretly?"
Liu Dongzhu questioned.
Not long ago.
When she saw there was another thing next to her dining table, she wondered if Luo Quan had sent it secretly. But when she looked clearly at what was in the cloth bag, she was sure that it was not Luo Quan who sent it.
Taoist Xuanqing had explained Luo Quan's identity in detail once, and she listened very carefully.
After all, according to Taoist Priest Xuanqing, when her family grows up and becomes sensible, they will learn skills from Taoist Priest Xuanqing. Once they have learned all of Taoist Priest Xuanqing's skills, they will be sent to Luo Quan to become his apprentice and learn skills.
Under such circumstances, it was difficult for her not to care about Luo Quan.
The Shura family of the county city and the Demon Suppression Division...
If it is not an exaggeration, there may be few people in the entire Qingyang County who can compare with Luo Quan. With his status, what kind of treasure would he not have?
How could they secretly deliver rice to their house for no reason?
"No, Dongzhu, you are wrong. This rice might really be sent by Lord Luo!"
Wang Lin took a look at the rice in the bag, as if he had discovered something, and his face was full of envy. Not to mention him, any farmer would be envious.
Both Liu Dongzhu and Zhang Guihua looked confused and obviously didn't understand what he meant.
Wang Lin explained again: "Dongzhu, look carefully, these rice grains have obviously just been harvested. Now is the season for planting rice, not the season for rice to mature.
Apart from Mr. Luo, think about it, who else can get the freshly harvested rice at this time? "
"Dad, if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed!"
As he spoke, Liu Dongzhu quickly walked to the cloth bag, reached in and took out a handful of rice, which was still steamy, and said, "These rice grains were really just harvested!"
At this time.
She believed that the extra bag of rice beside her dining table was sent by Luo Quan.
Zhang Guihua was surprised and asked, "Old man, why would Lord Luo send rice to our house for no apparent reason? We don't lack food at home."
"Who knows? Maybe these rice grains have benefits that we don't know about!"
Wang Lin picked up the cloth bag and walked out of the house, saying as he walked: "Let's dry the rice first, and then invite Taoist Xuanqing to come. Maybe Taoist Xuanqing knows what's going on with the rice!"
"I'll go to the Taoist temple and invite Taoist Priest Xuanqing over now!"
Zhang Guihua said impatiently.
As soon as Wang Lin came to his yard with the cloth bag in his hand, he saw a carriage outside the fence with a large flag with the word "Luo" on it. After the carriage stopped, the warriors who followed it dismounted and Luo Taiqing came out from it.
Wang Lin greeted him warmly, "Mr. Luo, I wonder what brings you to our house?"
"Uncle Wang..."
When Luo Taiqing was about to explain his purpose, he saw Wang Lin spreading a worn straw mat in the yard, opening the cloth bag beside him, and pouring the contents of the bag onto the mat.
The rice poured out of the cloth bag immediately attracted Luo Taiqing's attention.
He came from a wealthy family and although he had never worked on the farm, his family did have land, and a fairly large one at that. He could clearly remember the days of planting and harvesting crops.
Nowadays, every household with land has started to grow rice seedlings. Even those who start growing seedlings earliest have only started to transplant the rice seedlings. There is still a long time before the rice matures, and it is not yet the opportunity to have a good rice harvest.
He couldn't figure out where the rice in Wang Lin's cloth bag came from.
He had very good eyesight and could tell at a glance that the rice that Wang Lin poured out of the cloth bag had just been harvested and was obviously not from last year.
Luo Taiqing was surprised and asked, "Uncle Wang, where did you get this rice from?"
"This, this, this..."
Wang Lin hesitated and didn't know how to answer. Luo Quan's matter could be said to be their family secret. He quickly changed the topic and said, "I don't know, Master Luo, you came to our house to tell us something?"
He understands the principle that a man is innocent unless he is in possession of a treasure.
If outsiders knew about this, would Luo Quan send treasures to their home?
It is very likely to attract the ill intentions of others!
Their whole family has the talisman box given by Luo Quan for self-defense. Even if demons and monsters come to do bad things, it is unlikely to hurt anyone in their family.
But it is better to be safe than sorry, and it would not be good if it just scared his family.
This matter.
It’s better not to say it if you can!
