The Little Landlord of Transmigration

Chapter 14 4. Gains and Losses

From that day on, in order to find A Ming, Xu Lingyuan paid special attention to the door of his house for a few days, and he really ran into him.

That afternoon, he was sitting on a chair at the gate, basking in the sun while taking care of the chickens who were also basking in the sun, when he saw Amin walking past his house almost the same as that day.

Xu Lingyuan called him, then dispersed the chickens at his feet, intending to go over and talk to him.But Amin just glanced at him blankly, and continued to walk away on his own.Xu Lingyuan also felt a little embarrassed. After all, they had only met once before, and they ignored him. He gave him a cry and said that he had something to say to him.

Maybe it was because he didn't expect Xu Lingyuan to say anything to him, so he stopped after taking a few more steps, turned around and looked at Xu Lingyuan indifferently.Seeing him looking at him, Xu Lingyuan suddenly didn't know what to say. He knew about A Ming's situation from A Gui, and it seemed that A Ming didn't like other people meddling in his family's affairs. Will it hurt his self-esteem?Just like this, Xu Lingyuan stood there thinking about how to say it would be more appropriate. For a while, neither of them moved, and A Ming was also quite strange, but he didn't leave.

"It's like this. When I went to the village, I heard that your family is in a difficult situation. I just came here not long ago, and there are not many people in the family. I want to ask if you would like to come to my house to help." Xu Lingyuan said as tactfully as possible.

"Don't meddle in your own business!" Sure enough, no matter how tactful he was, the content of what he said could not be changed. After hearing Xu Lingyuan's words, he still said these words without any expression, and then left again.

"I'm sorry, I just asked if you would like to, nothing else." Xu Lingyuan then said to him, but he left as if he hadn't heard.

Xu Lingyuan looked at his back as he walked away and felt helpless. Although he also came from childhood, and he is still a child now, he couldn't understand Amin's mentality like a pool of stagnant water, just like what he said just now He was meddling in his own business, as if it had nothing to do with him, and he didn't show any anger or disgust. Maybe it has something to do with what happened to him, Xu Lingyuan thought with a sigh.Thinking of this, Xu Lingyuan couldn't help but thank his grandfather. If he hadn't always loved him very much, he might not have such a good attitude.

After the incident passed like this, Xu Lingyuan couldn't think of a better way for the time being, so he went to the village to find Aqi and the others, helped Aqi dig as usual, and told Aqi the result.Aqi was not surprised at all.As soon as Ah Gui, who didn't know anything, saw him, he started to mock him again.

"Why are you here again? I thought you were back in the city. Could it be that I snatched the goose vegetables and were crying at home?" He said with Xu Lingyuan's cautious expression.

"If you talk about it again, I will ask you to return the goose dish to me." Xu Lingyuan replied casually.

"Stingy, drink cold water!" Hearing that Xu Lingyuan really planned to ask him to pay for the goose vegetables, he vigilantly pulled the basket of goose vegetables towards him, and said to Xu Lingyuan in a contemptuous tone.

"..." Xu Lingyuan was completely immune to his words, and didn't care what he said, anyway, he just talked about it.

Since they bought ducks and geese at home, the children have less time to play freely. They have to dig goose vegetables every day. These goose vegetables are the only rations for ducks and geese.At the very beginning, their interest was high and they dug quickly, but as time went by, they lost interest, and it took longer and longer. The longer the time, the less they wanted to do it, almost becoming A vicious cycle.

But they don't care so much, no matter how the adults scold them when they go back, they still play when it's time to play, but the time to dig goose vegetables is getting longer and longer.Xu Lingyuan and A Qi were also chatting while digging, and their movements were much slower, but compared to other children, they were still diligent.

"Your brothers and sisters are all here today?" Xu Lingyuan saw Ahe and Ahai playing not far away, but he didn't see where Ajiang was, so he asked Aqi.

"Yes." A Qi's answer was still so concise.

"Why didn't you see Ah Jiang?"

"Maybe we went to the bottom of the river with them." A Qi looked around and said.

"A Jiang is not very old, is he? Are you afraid that he will fall?" Xu Lingyuan asked. Although the water level of the river is not very high now, and the bottom of the river is covered with weeds on both sides, it is not very slippery, but the river is a river after all, and it is still easy to fall. It's very dangerous. In modern times, elementary school students to high school students are not allowed to go to the river, and A Jiang doesn't look too big.

"It's okay, they're all used to playing."

"Ah Jiang, how old are they this year? It seems that there is a big difference between them and you." Xu Lingyuan was quite surprised, the age difference between Aqi's brother and sister seemed to be greater than that of other children.

"A Jiang is six years old, A He is five years old, and A Hai is four years old." A Qi paused and said.

"What about you?" One a year, but it should be quite normal here.

"fourteen."

"Oh, there's a big difference between you and them." Seeing that Aqi didn't speak, Xu Lingyuan went on to say, "I'm also very different from my younger siblings. I'm thirteen years old, my younger brother is eight years old, and my two younger sisters are very different." ...It's quite young, I don't know too well, it seems that I am much more incompetent than you." Xu Lingyuan couldn't find anything about his two younger sisters in his memory, so he could only laugh at himself.

"When will you go back?" A Qi asked him suddenly.

"Go back? Do you mean to go back to the city?" Xu Lingyuan didn't realize it for a while. He always asked A Qi to answer his chats with A Qi. He didn't expect that A Qi would take the initiative to ask him questions. The topics don't seem to have much connection.

"Ah."

"I like this place quite a lot, and I will probably live here in the future." Xu Lingyuan replied after thinking for a while, and then said with a smile: "Didn't you say that summer here is much more fun than it is now, and you don't want to take me to the end Bar?"

"You're not leaving?" A Qi ignored his joke, and continued to ask, as if he didn't believe that he would live here.

"Well, it should be. You should like me to stay, right? Otherwise, who will teach you how to read." Xu Lingyuan said seemingly relaxed.In fact, he is also a little confused now. At the beginning, he firmly wanted to live his life here.But now such a slow-paced life, playing with a group of children all day, makes him feel very uneasy.

But in reality, as a frail and sickly child, he can only slowly adapt to this kind of life now, let’s talk about the future, not to mention that he has not been as versatile as the protagonists in the time-traveling drama, and he doesn’t know what he is going to do at the moment.

"Yeah." A Qi looked at him happily.

"Enough digging this morning, let's go to my house to practice calligraphy in the afternoon." Looking at A Qi who was very happy to hear that he stayed, Xu Lingyuan was also very happy for some reason, at least he taught a student, life is still meaningful .

"Hmm." It's still the same word.

"Aqi, can you say something else?" Xu Lingyuan asked him intentionally, and he basically used this word for everything he said, looking like a chatterbox.

"Go this afternoon." A Qi thought for a while and said, looking at Xu Lingyuan after speaking, as if to see his dissatisfaction.

"Hurry up and dig." Xu Lingyuan felt that he was naive just now, and said weakly.

"Yeah." A Qi lowered his head and continued digging.

"..." He was completely speechless.

At noon, they went to the bottom of the river to wash their muddy hands, and called the children who were still playing. A group of people, some who had dug enough, and some who hadn't, all went on their way home noisily. go.

Suddenly there was a crisp sound from the front, as if someone was whistling, but the sound was not quite like it.Xu Lingyuan looked forward curiously, and saw a group of children surrounding Agui, who was holding something like a wheat leaf in his hand. There was no doubt that the voice came from him.Xu Lingyuan was about to ask what happened to Ah Qi who was next to him, when there were more such voices coming from the front, and some older children were blowing like Ah Gui.A group of children are asking for them.

"Can wheat leaves blow?" Xu Lingyuan found it very interesting.

A Qi did not answer him, but also picked out one of the wheat growing on the side of the road, and gently stroked out the upper part of the wheat ear that was about to grow. It turned out that it was not something that could be blown directly. .Xu Lingyuan watched Aqi clean up the tender ears of wheat inside the straw, folded the remaining part like origami in half into a shuttle shape, put it near his mouth and blew it, and then handed it to Xu Lingyuan.Xu Lingyuan also thought it was amazing, he didn't brag about it, but wanted to figure out how it was folded.

"Brother, I want it too, give it to me." Seeing that A Qi gave Xu Lingyuan the folded things, Ah Hai shouted for him too.

Xu Lingyuan touched his head, and made him a whistle-like one with the remaining hollow straw, which was slightly thicker than a straw. Xu Lingyuan would also make this kind of thing when he was a child. It was relatively simple, and then handed it to him. Ah Hai.

"I don't want this, I want the one in his hand!" Seeing that the one given to him was different from the one in Xu Lingyuan's, Ah Hai yelled and refused to take it.

"Ah Hai, you can't blow like that." A Qi told him.

"I want it." Ah Hai still didn't give up.

"Ah Hai, don't ask for it. Your elder brother doesn't like you anymore. He won't give it to you because of how kind he is to the little scholar." Xu Lingyuan just handed the things in his hand to A Hai when he heard A Gui who was walking in front Said gloatingly.

"Huh!" Ah Hai took the whistle, and after hearing what A Gui said, he snorted viciously at Xu Lingyuan, and then started to blow, but he couldn't blow the whistle at all, the whistle was full of saliva, so he just let it out. After throwing it away, he came to get the one in A Qi's hand. Seeing that it was better than that one, he swayed away blowing it.

"Agui, I'll tell your father later that you almost pushed me into the river." Xu Lingyuan said to Agui seriously.

"You're talking nonsense, when did I push you!" Agui said strongly.

"Who told you to talk nonsense? Next time, let's see if I tell the patriarch." Seeing Agui who was very angry, Xu Lingyuan said calmly.

"Hmph, who cares about you!" Agui replied depressingly, and went to make a whistle for his younger siblings.

Ah Qi also pulled out another one and made two different ones, one complicated one for Xu Lingyuan and one for Ahe.Ah Jiang already knew how to do simple things, so he didn't care about him.So a group of people went home amidst the sound of whistles one after another.
