It was Second Uncle and the government office again. When Ning Fengnian and Madam Song heard this, they could not sit still anymore. They quickly came over to ask, and Shen Tianci exaggerated the story.

After hearing all of this, Xiaoxiao concluded with a cold expression. “So Second Uncle planned to sell the Ruyi bun’s secret recipe to the shopkeeper of the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant before going to the appointment?”

She looked at her parents’ ashen faces and said in amusement, “Then here’s the problem. Where did he get the confidence to think that he could get the secret recipe?”

Ning Erlang said angrily, “Maybe they’re thinking of ways to force us to hand it over like last time. It’s still not over yet!”

Xiaoxiao frowned and suddenly remembered. “Could it be Second Uncle and the others who came to climb over our courtyard wall a few nights ago?”

It didn’t matter if he was or not. It was best to make her father disappointed in him first.

Ning Fengnian sighed silently and said, “I’ll be on night duty tonight.”

This time, it was Shen Tianci’s turn to be puzzled. Ning Erlang gritted his teeth and told her that there was a thief in his house. Xiaoxiao pursed her lips. “You can only be a thief for a thousand days. How can you guard against a thief for a thousand days? Could it be that you’re wasting time with them every night?” “If only I could buy a fierce guard dog.”

Shen Tianci immediately raised his hand. “I-I-I-I have one at home! My guard dog has just given birth. Do you want one?”

Ning Fengnian and his wife were a little hesitant. “That’s not good, right?”

Shen Tianci thought to himself, What’s wrong with that? 1 can still use the excuse of coining to see the puppy to freeload!

County Magistrate Shen also said, “Tianci has been taken care of by you guys many times, but as his parents, we didn’t come to thank you until today. We said that we wanted to thank you, but we got a free meal for nothing. We are so ashamed.”

Ning Fengnian and Madam Song answered him politely. County Magistrate Shen said again, “1 always think that giving some gold and silver would make the children’s friendship seem vulgar. I’m still wondering what to give them. That’s good. Brother Ning, don’t stand on ceremony. Why don’t 1 get someone to send the puppy over in a few days?”

Xiaoxiao could not be bothered to be polite anymore. She nudged Shen Tianci. “Is it weaned?”

Shen Tianci shook his head. “We still have to wait a few more days.”

Hence, this matter was happily settled. No one mentioned the value of one pure-blooded mastiff was no less than a hundred taels.

County Magistrate Shen and the others did not leave directly after the meal. He expressed that he was very interested in the farmland in the countryside. Ning Fengnian was also concerned about his family’s situation, so he volunteered to take him there.

As a county magistrate, his political achievements were related to the livelihood of the county and the subordinate villages and towns. When the country was prosperous and the people were safe, the most important thing in the livelihood of the people was the harvest of food. Hence, the quality of the farmer’s land was directly related to his incompetence as an official.

The villagers of Fortune Village planted rice the most. The rice planted was divided into early rice, middle rice, and late rice. Early rice was usually sown at the end of March and early April, and harvested in the middle to late July. Middle rice was usually sown from the beginning of April to the end of May and harvested in the middle to late September. Late rice was usually sown in the middle to late June and harvested in the middle of October.

There were many types of early rice in the village, and they were already blooming in the rice field. Hence, Ning Fengnian did not explain much about the eye-catching greenery of the Ning Family’s field. He only said, “I’d rather plant the rice later and wait for the rice seedlings to grow well.”

Xiaoxiao agreed deeply, but it was a pity that it was too late to wait for a new batch of rice seedlings to grow in her space.

Just as she was feeling regretful, she suddenly heard Ning Fengnian say, “Eh, strange. Why do I feel that the seedlings are different from when I came previously?”

Was he so sharp? As expected of someone who was always in the fields every day. Xiaoxiao said firmly, “You probably didn’t sleep enough last time and saw wrongly.”

Ning Fengnian did not suspect anything. After looking at it carefully, he made a decision. “Prepare to plant seedlings tomorrow..”
