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

When Yun Lan came back from Zhuangzi, she just received a letter from home. Counting the day to deliver the letter, the second brother's team estimated that they had traveled more than half the distance.

"Akihito is back?"

Aunt Cui: "Not yet. Sheng'er came back and said she would be back later today."

"Well, let's call it He Hua's meal."

"Yes." Aunt Cui signaled the new little girl beside her with her eyes, and the little girl hurried to the kitchen.

"Qing'er, come and give me a hug."

Xiao Qing'er giggled and stretched out her hand towards Zhao Yunlan.

"Oh, did you miss your mother today? Can she feed you in a while?"

Qing'er seemed to understand and couldn't help nodding.

"Mom." Ruiwen ran all the way from the study, a thin layer of sweat covering his face.

"Come here, wipe the sweat." Zhao Yunlan waved, and when Ruiwen came up to him, he took out the handkerchief and wiped the child.

"Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner. Your father has to be busy with official duties for a while, so the three of us will eat first."

"Yes." Ruiwen smiled, washed his hands, and sat next to his mother obediently.

The mother and son enjoyed the meal happily.

After resting for a while after the meal, Zhao Yunlan went down and ordered a few rooms to be tidied up to welcome the arrival of his younger brothers at any time. There were so many people coming this time, so naturally Zhao Yunlan would not put everyone in the backyard of the Yamen.

"He Guanshi, tomorrow you go to Zhuangzi to make arrangements. Clean all the empty rooms. If there are not enough bedding and beds, go and buy them quickly. Then see if there are any other missing ones and prepare them all."

He Wen nodded: "Yes, madam."

"This time there are many people coming from my hometown. My family is now in a government position, and I say that I am the boss, and everyone has some barriers in their hearts. We, the fellow villagers, need to be considerate in every aspect, so as not to let the hometown people Even if they are uncomfortable to get along with, we can’t let them feel that they are causing trouble to us, and they will be embarrassed to speak up if they encounter someone who is unhappy with us.”

"Oh, I know. Madam, don't worry. I will make arrangements carefully and check everything carefully. The folks in Lijia Village will feel like they are at home in Shiyang County."

"Well, I know that you are getting better at doing things now, and I trust you very much. I have nothing to do here. Let's go to the front and see if the master is back."

"Yes." He Wen saluted and walked out.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Mingren came in from outside.

"Yunlan, I'm back."

"Have you eaten?" Zhao Yunlan looked at the person in front of him with a tired face but his eyes were still shining.

"I ate, but now I'm hungry again."

"Then I'll ask He Hua to cook a bowl of noodles."

"Okay, let's scald another piece of meat and fry an egg."

"Don't be greedy at night. Forget about the meat, just fry an egg." Zhao Yunlan pursed her lips and said.

"Okay, listen to my wife."

Chunxiang got Zhao Yunlan's signal and went to the kitchen to make arrangements.

Inside the house, Zhao Yunlan continued to ask: "How was your outing today?" "Today's outing was mainly to visit several nearby villages along the newly built road. Now that the road has been built, it is different from before. The villagers and people Traveling is much more convenient. Today we saw several ox carts coming out of several villages along the official road. I heard they were coming to the county to buy some food.

If the old narrow road could not pass the oxcart, we would have to send a few more people to the county carrying baskets and carrying baskets on their backs. One villager even said that in the past, before the road was repaired, the family had no money to spend and it was really difficult to go out. "When Li Mingren spoke, there was a smile on his face unconsciously.

Zhao Yunlan was also affected and nodded in agreement.

"Today the Yamen has drafted the documents for collecting corvee labor, and it will be distributed to the towns and villages tomorrow. In ten days, the laborers will go to work."

There are only two towns under Shiyang County, one is Shiyang Town and the other is Chongshan Town. The entire county is small in size and has a small population, so there is no post of town mayor, only the head of each village, so various laws and notices are generally issued. To post it on the notice wall outside the yamen, Xie Changwang would also have to lead a team to the countryside to notify the village head of each village, who would then notify the village head.

He Hua acted quickly and had the food served in a short time.

"You eat first." Zhao Yunlan brought the noodles to Li Mingren and said.

"Yeah." Li Mingren was really hungry, and he took a big bite with just one chopstick.

"Eat slowly, don't be in a hurry." Zhao Yunlan looked at the eating figure opposite, helplessly poured himself a cup of tea, and continued:

"I received a letter from home today. My second brother and the others are expected to arrive before the autumn harvest. This time Mingli and Akechi will come together."

Li Mingren hesitated: "Then there will be no one at home? Can Mom and the others be busy at home?"

"Dad and mother are in good health! Besides, they have younger siblings who can take care of them. Besides, if mother can let the three younger brothers come out, she can naturally arrange the family affairs. Now that the third brother's marriage has been decided, I guess mother should be I want my third brother to go out and get more experience before getting married. At this moment, the family should be busy repairing the yard and preparing for Mingli’s wedding, and my father and mother should be very happy to take care of this."

Zhao Yunlan picked up the tea cup and took another sip of water.

"The water is cold. Let Chunxiang get another pot of hot water. Drink less cold water at night." Li Mingren ate a bowl of noodles, put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked at Yun Lan.

Zhao Yunlan said nonchalantly: "The water is still warm, and I feel comfortable drinking it. I have already ordered the yard to be cleaned. There are other people at home coming this time. As you know, my workshop and factory will start work after they are repaired." , I just need people to help me.”

"Well, I know you're busy here." Li Mingren responded.

Zhao Yunlan: "What I mean is that you should hurry up on matters in your yamen. If there are any problems that cannot be solved, we will discuss them together and solve them. Don't do it alone with your head covered and don't want to tell me anything. Let's The pace of both of us must be consistent. We can no longer do what you did some time ago, which not only failed to solve the problem but also disrupted my pace."

"Well, Yunlan, I know, I was the one who got into trouble before. I wanted to prove myself too much, and I was also worried that you would cause a lot of trouble because of your busy schedule." Li Mingren consciously held Yunlan's hand, with a slight apology on his face. .

Zhao Yunlan sighed softly: "We are one. In the battle to protect the city, I said that no matter what we encounter, we will face it together. I hope that we will not only be husband and wife, but also teammates and close friends."

"Yeah!" Li Mingren nodded heavily.

Zhao Yunlan continued: "I also have my shortcomings, so I will discuss it with you when I encounter something I don't know. No one is perfect, just face your heart. You are still very good in my heart recently."

"Ah? When did I make mistakes?" Li Mingren asked solemnly with his eyes wide open.

"Huh? Don't you know it yourself? I'm too lazy to bring up the past."

The memory of his death came back. Li Mingren remembered the time when he had served as a corvee, and the days when he squatted outside the toilet and wrote articles every day.

"Madam, please rest early. I will go to the study to read for a while."

Zhao Yunlan looked at the person in front of him who looked embarrassed and wanted to escape, and couldn't help but "Pfft~"

Li Mingren took a few steps and went to the study.

"Oops~ It's boring. I started to feel ashamed even before I even said it."
