The growth of the eldest daughter-in-law of the farm gate

It was not sunny outside, so Zhao Yunlan didn't want to go out when she entered the house.

"Fortunately, I have a rest today!" Zhao Yunlan lay on the rocking chair and swayed, blowing the cattail leaf fan every now and then.Xiao Qing'er was playing actively on the couch next to her.

Zhao Yunlan feeds Qing'er some water from time to time. The little girl has gained weight and grown a lot, and can now crawl and play.

Aunt Cui came in from the outside and said, "Madam, I'll have someone go to the cellar to chisel a basin of ice and bring it up. I'll bring it over in a moment."

"Send some to the study. Ruiwen is getting hot while practicing calligraphy there."

Aunt Cui said: "A small basin has been sent over to the study."

"Well, thanks to Aunt Cui, I can feel more relaxed now." Zhao Yunlan slowly closed his eyes and wanted to take a nap. Qing'er saw that her mother had her eyes closed and obediently stopped making a fuss.

Chunxiang gently took the fan from Zhao Yunlan's hand and stood aside fanning it leisurely. Aunt Cui took care of Qing'er, drank milk, and coaxed the baby to take a nap.

At the county government office, Li Mingren looked at the sun and asked Chen Yiqing to allocate some money to spend on cooling off from the summer heat and prepare some thirst-quenching herbal tea for the road construction workers.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and workers have been scheduled to take a break at noon, the hottest time of the day.These workers who come to work always feel that this work is unrealistic, because this road construction work not only includes wages and daily meals, but now also provides thirst-quenching herbal tea and lunch breaks.

Now the workers look at Li Mingren more kindly than they look at their own parents. As a result, when Li Mingren comes to inspect, he starts and ends with the sound of responses. Every common person can't help but greet this amiable and respectable county magistrate. Your Majesty.

In the county government office, Chen Yiqing was reporting on the progress of the project and various expenses.

"Sir, many people have come to ask when we will recruit people in the past few days. Our second phase of the project is almost over, and it is time to recruit the third batch of people." Chen Yiqing has been talking for so long, and he has already felt Being thirsty, I consciously picked up the tea at hand and took a sip.

Li Mingren nodded: "Let's start recruiting people tomorrow. We will take advantage of this slack time to catch up on the construction period and recruit more people. The remaining branch roads will be carried out at the same time. The county government will send out 40 people this time."

Chen Yiqing: "Yes, sir!"

Li Mingren looked at the account book and calculated that the money should be enough.Looking up at Cao Yingfa leisurely drinking tea, he looked so relaxed that people couldn't help but be jealous.

"Cao Xiancheng, is the business going smoothly?"

Cao Yingfa sat up straight and said, "Sir, it's quite easy for a lower official to come in." As he said this, he couldn't help but look at Chen Yiqing with a smile.

Speaking of Cao Yingfa, since he recovered from his injury, he has never competed with Chen Yiqing for work or credit. He only does his job every day, and he has become a bit more rogue.

Li Mingren didn't know if this was a change for the better or for the worse. Anyway, the atmosphere between the three of them together recently was much more relaxed than before.But now, Li Mingren can't see that everyone is so busy that some people can still enjoy themselves.

"Cao Xian Cheng, I will leave it to you to reduce the number of people in the county government. You can start now. When all the roads are completed, submit a list to me. Of course it is not just a simple list. I believe Cao Xian Cheng This can definitely be done."

Cao Yingfa couldn't help but frown: "Sir, you are leaving the job of offending people to me!" Besides, this list is really not just about registering a name. It needs to be recorded in detail, and everyone needs to be found one by one. Talk to the group to understand everyone's thoughts and then consider and draw up a list based on these records.Not only is it offending, it’s also cumbersome.

Li Mingren smiled softly: "Then I believe that with Cao Xian Cheng's ability, he can make this matter non-offensive."

After that, Li Mingren planned to pack his things and go home.With all this matter out of the way, Li Mingren's footsteps became much easier. When he passed by Cao Yingfa, he couldn't help but pat Cao Yingfa on the shoulder to show encouragement.

Chen Yiqing followed Li Mingren and smiled, ignoring Cao Yingfa's eyes that dared not speak with anger!
Over at the school, Zhao Yunlan was discussing the midterm test questions with Mr. Chen today, so he was delayed a little longer.

Huang Yuan has already thought about the test content of the physical class, which is for all the children to perform a set of boxing techniques. This boxing technique was learned in the county government. Huang Yuan made it slightly simpler based on the children's own conditions, so the next physical class will be In addition to daily exercise, I teach children to box.Regarding this mid-term quiz, Zhao Yunlan told the two gentlemen not to inform the children in advance but to wait until the day of the test. This would also make it easier to understand each child's attitude towards learning and their mastery of learning.

Unconsciously, dusk fell, and Zhao Yunlan and Ruiwen rushed back to the county government courtyard.

Li Mingren had just eaten a bowl of bean paste ice to relieve his fever, and was reading a book leisurely at the moment.

"You are so relaxed today. Are you busy with all the county government affairs?" Zhao Yunlan wiped his sweat with Ruiwen, and the mother and son sat aside and ate the bean paste ice brought by He Hua.

"It's definitely impossible to finish the work! Just because everything is settled, I feel much more comfortable. I'll just relax this afternoon. There will be new problems waiting for me to solve tomorrow morning." Li Mingren spoke. , while helping Zhao Yunlan fan herself.

After taking a few mouthfuls of ice, the heat was finally relieved. Zhao Yunlan responded: "Busy, just be busy! As long as you have success in mind, how about Yuncheng staying at the county government during this period?"

Li Mingren replied: "It's quite satisfactory. I practice with that group of people every day. I'm probably still thinking about going to the military camp!"

Zhao Yunlan raised his eyebrows. Yuncheng's thoughts were expected. He had been here with the Zhao family for so long, and he knew the temperament of the Zhao family to some extent. It can be said that his younger brother was a little obsessed with him.

It's just that Zhao Yunlan can't make the decision for Zhao Yuncheng about going to the military camp, and he can't let Zhao Yuncheng go to the army on his own as he wants. In Zhao Yunlan's heart, Yuncheng is still a minor and the concepts and knowledge he has accepted have not yet been accepted. Not enough to support yourself in making your own decisions.

In fact, Yunlan hopes that Yuncheng will continue his studies and visit more places across the country if he has the opportunity, and then decide on his own path.But now that his parents are still here, Zhao Yunlan doesn't want to interfere too much in these matters.

This time, while the Wang family and others were returning, Zhao Yunlan sent a letter to the Zhao family's parents. One was to ensure safety, and the other was about his younger brother's future. These things need to be known to the whole family.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yunlan said, "I wonder where my mother and third brother are?"

"It's time to leave Cangzhou!"

"Hey~" Xiao Ruiwen suddenly sighed quietly next to him, causing the couple to look over and asked with concern:

"What's up, son?"

Ruiwen shook his head like a young adult and said, "I don't know if my third uncle can take good care of my grandmother. I'm very worried!"

Li Mingren couldn't help but poke the little kid in front of him: "You kid has even arranged for your third uncle. Don't wait for him to know."

"It's going to happen if mom and dad don't say it!" Ruiwen said loudly.

"Hey! Come on!"

Zhao Yunlan smiled: "You can't gossip about your elders behind their backs. I still remember that your third uncle took care of you and your grandmother when you came here. He is a successful person."

Ruiwen nodded thoughtfully.

Now even Yun Lan couldn't help but poke her little head, "Okay, let's go eat. You won't grow taller if you think too much every day."

When Ruiwen heard that he was not tall enough, he was so frightened that he ate an extra bowl of rice at night.

Li Mingli, who was far away, sneezed all night, and was directly fed a bowl of soup to prevent wind and cold by Mrs. Wang with concern.
