Li Mingren knew that his wife had some opinions on those beggars of unknown origin, so he didn't dare to continue to mention this matter to Zhao Yunlan.

The next day, Li Mingren took Ye Sheng to the restaurant shop, thinking that he could make arrangements for these beggars.

"I don't think you guys are willing to live as beggars all the time, are you?"

"I don't want to, but I lost my household registration and there are no other documents to prove it, so we dare not run around." A man said.

Li Mingren continued: "Then there is an opportunity now. If you want to go home, I can try to help you go back. The opportunity should not be missed. After today, I will not ask about this matter anymore."

A few beggars look at me and I look at you. The beggar with a mottled eyebrow said boldly: "How can you help? You can't go anywhere without a guide. It was Hou Ming who lied to us and said that he could send us away." When we went back, we followed him step by step and made mistakes, but instead we were manipulated by him."

After saying this, the leading beggars all looked at Li Mingren vigilantly.

Li Mingren: "That's right, he took advantage of you. I sent him to the government, but I didn't send you to the government, did I? I know you are different from him."

Mo Zinan asked suspiciously: "Can you really help us go home?"

Li Mingren: "Well, if you want to go home, I can give it a try. You have been in the capital for so long, you should also distinguish between good and bad, right? Can I be like Hou Ming's rascal?"

Another young man said: "My lord, how can you compare with Hou Ming!"

Li Mingren smiled: "You kid has a sweet mouth."

"hey-hey!"

"Okay, hurry up, I'll make a decision early so I can deal with it." Li Mingren urged.

Mo Zinan said in a calm tone: "Master, I want to go back. My family is in Qiaocun. I also escaped from the famine at the time. Later, I got separated from my family. I just want to go back and see if they have returned."

"Okay. Any more?"

"I want to go back too. My family lives in Qiu County."

……

There were nine beggars in total, four of them were willing to go back, and there were five remaining, two of whom were children, two girls, and one boy, who Li Mingren just boasted about.

"Where are you three? What do you think?" Li Mingren looked at the sweet-mouthed kid.

"Master, my name is Dazui. I got this name because I have big feet." The young man was a little shy.

Li Mingren: "Well, Bigfoot, where do you live?"

Dazuo said carelessly: "Master, I have no home, my family is gone, I have no place to go." Speaking of this, Dazuu hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "I want to ask Master to take me in, I am willing Acting like a cow or a horse for the master?"

Li Mingren was stunned: "This..."

Dazuo continued to kowtow: "I beg the master to take me in. I eat less and do more work. Don't look at me as thin, but I have a lot of strength."

Li Mingren: "Get up first, let me think about it."

Kneeling on the ground, Li Mingren felt a little helpless, and only said: "Get up quickly, this matter will have to wait for my wife to make a decision."

Bigfoot was a little surprised, he didn't know what to think of, and stood up blankly.

Li Mingren didn't continue to worry about Big Feet, and turned around to ask the other two girls, "How about you two?"

The two little girls shook their heads again and again, and immediately knelt down, tears streaming down their faces uncontrollably.

"Master, I originally thought that I would not be bullied anymore by running away from home, but unexpectedly, I went out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den. If I go home, I will be beaten to death by my family. where."

Another thin girl also said: "I can't go back, I just escaped, and they will sell me to the old widower again, I have been sold several times, I don't want to go home. "

Li Mingren looked at the two kneeling on the ground, not knowing what to do, "Get up first."

The two girls stood beside Bigfoot, and there were two children left.

"Do you know where these two children come from?" Li Mingren looked at everyone.

Everyone shook their heads and sighed, and the man said, "We picked up these two children. They are at Caishikou, an alley where few people pass by. On a winter night, they put a layer of tattered jackets on their bodies. He didn't have any tokens, and he looked very thin, probably a year old at the time."

Li Mingren looked at everyone's reactions, and it didn't seem like he was telling lies again.

"Are they together?"

Mo Zinan: "No, one in front and one in back, more than three months apart."

"Then why didn't you think of handing them over to the government?"

"At the beginning, we wanted to secretly put it at the gate of the government office, but Hou Ming said that we can help with the work when we grow up."

Li Mingren supported his forehead, sighing inwardly.

"The four of you have clearly explained to Ye Sheng the detailed addresses of your homes, including how you came to the capital and how long you stayed in the capital. The rest of you three and your two children will live here first. Life needs The water and firewood are all done by ourselves.”

Li Mingren was about to leave after finishing speaking, his feet were about to step over the threshold, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I will send someone to bring you some changes of clothes in a while, and you also tidy up yourselves. It's really smelly. Wash your hair more, don't make it full of lice."

Just talking made his scalp itchy, Li Mingren shook his head and strode away.

Back on Huaiyuan Street, I walked around the house but didn't see Yunlan. I asked Li Hua only to find out that Zhao Yunlan had gone to Zhuangzi.

Li Mingren looked at the sky, Zhao Yunlan should not be back for a while, so he asked He Hua to cook some soup to cool down.

On Zhuangzi's side, when Zhao Yunlan brought Li Mingyi over, he saw Lao Zhang with Qiu Jing and a few apprentices busy with the renovation of Zhuangzi, and even Li Dashan's motorcade and Li Bao and his wife were also helping.

Zhao Yunlan smiled helplessly, "Didn't you say to rest for two days first?"

Old Zhang said: "I don't see any work, haha, seeing all these jobs over there, I feel uncomfortable."

Zhao Yunlan: "Hey, Lao Zhang, let me tell you what's good about you. Now that the work has started, I won't chat with you anymore. I originally planned to get the shop done first."

Lao Zhang immediately said: "Anything is fine, Mr. Zhao's family can do whatever you want us to do!"

Zhao Yunlan waved her hand: "It's all the same, let's start work on Zhuangzi's side, anyway, Mingren on the shop side hasn't dealt with it yet."

Li Dashan stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong with Mingren? Do you need my help?"

"It's okay, Brother Dashan, just a little problem."

Li Dashan half believed and half doubted, then looked at Li Mingyi again.

Li Mingyi also nodded: "It's really a small problem, brother Dashan, don't worry."

Zhao Yunlan said: "Okay, Lao Zhang, come here and I will tell you how to repair this village."

"Eh."

"This place is mainly used as a backup for the restaurants in the capital. These hollowed-out gardens are just like this. They will be used to plant some trees and vegetables in the future. All the houses need to be repaired, and there will be a place to stay in the capital in the future. Point. The yard over there needs to add a kitchen yard. You can change it or build a new one. There is no furniture in the house, and the houses that involve people have to make beds..."

When Zhao Yunlan's arrangements were almost complete, he watched the sunset and there was still a wife-watching stone waiting for his wife to return home.

Li Mingren has been standing in the front yard for quite a while!
