Farming in the Mountains: Max Level Jiaojiao Is Three Years Old

Thinking of this, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other again.

Seeing this, Tao Jinyan sighed heavily. “I know where you’re trying to go. I’m more or less a well-educated person, so I’m not that st*pid. I know that the county magistrate is just putting on an act and doesn’t care about the people. Even my youngest son knows about it. Don’t tell me the other village chiefs don’t have eyes to see? But what can we do? He’s an official. Besides, everyone says that the Emperor is already like that. He doesn’t care about the people of the world and has issued an edict to increase taxes. We’re just hoping that there are a few nice people there, you know?”

Village Chief Tao Jinyan didn’t expect Jiang Yue and Xue Yan to nod their heads. After saying that, he sighed again.

“I wonder where my youngest son is now…”

“We have a few questions for your son too.”

Now, the village chief’s youngest son would go to the county to do things for the village from time to time. This youngest son might have heard about other rumors.

Although some rumors were groundless and might not be true, some were very likely to be true and the truth.

“He…” Tao Jinyan had just opened his mouth when he saw his 20-year-old son, Tao Zhen, return. He pointed at his youngest son who had just entered the courtyard and said, t”There, that’s my youngest son, Tao Zhen. He must have just come back from digging wild vegetables. I have a few sons, but the others have all started a family, so they have others to take care of. I’m living with my youngest son now.”

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked in the direction Tao Jinyan was pointing at and saw a refined young man in a gray robe walking into the courtyard. Like the others, his face was pale. Although this man was very thin, he had a rare fair complexion in the village.

The man was carrying a basket in each hand. The basket contained some wild vegetables and a small shovel. He also carried a bundle of firewood on his shoulder. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he put the firewood down and hurried towards the kitchen. As he walked, he did not forget to shout, “Father, I’m back. I’m going to cook for you now!”

He was so busy making lunch that he didn’t notice the situation in the central room.

At this moment, Zhang Dazhu and his son had already flown out of the central room.

“Don’t be in a hurry to cook. There’s a guest, and they want to ask you something.” Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou stopped Tao Zhen and escorted him into the main room.

Only then did Tao Zhen notice that there was a guest in the main room.

“That was rude of me. Please forgive me for my behavior.” This person was also wearing a long robe, he looked like a scholar. Moreover, he had gone to the county office on behalf of his father, so he must be literate. “Greetings.” Tao Zhen hurriedly cupped his hands, a smile on his face. However, he was very curious about who these two people in front of him were. Moreover, he was wondering why they were dressed so well.

Tao Jinyan laughed loudly, “Look at me, I forgot it’s almost noon! Why don’t the two of you stay here for lunch? Let my youngest son cook for everyone. After eating, you can ask more questions. We only have wild vegetables to satisfy your hunger. I don’t know if you can eat them.”

“In the past, our family used to eat wild vegetables. There’s nothing that can’t be eaten. However, we won’t be eating lunch. We’re actually in a hurry to go back. We only plan to ask a few more questions before leaving. You must be hungry. Why don’t you let your son cook and we’ll ask after you-”

Without waiting for Xue Yan to finish, Tao Jinyan smiled. “I’m not hungry. I’m not in a hurry to eat. You guys can ask first.”
