When everyone came out of the house, Du Qi had been waiting at the intersection. Upon seeing this, he walked forward with a smile and bowed his hands.

"Master Li, you are back."

"How are you doing lately? Is the village okay?"

"Lord Lao Li is thinking about it. Everyone is doing well. The village is now prosperous and everyone is waiting for the spring to start farming." Du Qi replied with a silly smile.

They have been paying money every day for two months in a row, and now they are living a very prosperous life.

Men work in the mountains, while women cook and take care of children at home. They will plow and open up a few acres of wasteland in the coming spring. Just thinking about it makes you laugh out loud.

Seeing the hopeful expressions on their faces, Li Hui finally got some comfort in his irritable heart.

This time he went out for inspection, and all the people in the north, one by one, were worried about today and did not want tomorrow.The relief grain was originally meant to be a subsidy, but unexpectedly it turned out to be something that everyone relied on.

This is absolutely not allowed. If a person does not want to make progress in life, then no matter how much he is given, he will just be a meat bun and beat a dog, and there will be no return.

"Okay, I can plant as much as I can in the places I told you. The taxes and grain will be halved as agreed before. In addition, I will pay for the red deed for you at my own expense."

"Oh no, no, no, we can just pay for the red deed ourselves. But I need to trouble Mr. Li to tell the county government and don't let us go to the government office all the time. We don't want to delay work." Du Qi requested.

When Li Hui heard this, he immediately understood his needs.

"Don't worry, after your red deed is completed, I will send someone to your village. You will be under the management of the government office, not the county."

But Du Qi's words reminded him that he would start cleaning up the county government office next year after finishing the spring plowing.The kind of thing that makes people go to the county government again and again just to be lazy must not happen.Otherwise, it would be his dereliction of duty as a governor...

……

On the twentieth day of the winter lunar month, Bai Wei and Tiandong ate dumplings on the road in Wanghe Village, then took Jia An and Jia Ning to the official road to join the convoy.

Li Zhong and his wife saw each other off together. Looking at this daughter-in-law who announced her family status, she was surprised at the beginning and became more and more pleased with her now. Yu Niang held Bai Wei's hand and didn't like to let go for a long time.

"Mom, it's almost time, we should go."

Hearing her son's reminder, Yu Niang took out the silver bracelet she had prepared long ago and put it on Bai Wei's hand.

"Auntie, I can't do this..."

"Yes!" Yu Niang held her hand tightly without allowing her to resist, "I went to town to buy it last time after you and your wife left. I didn't have much money in hand. Let me and your uncle save up, and I'm determined to give you a new one. Golden."

Bai Wei was flattered and shook her head hurriedly:
"Don't say that, mother-in-law. This is the matchmaking of the master's family, so no decision needs to be made."

"That's what we have to do. We can't underestimate ourselves. Tiandong, take good care of Wei Niang and do your part. Do you understand?"

"Don't worry, mother, I know everything." After Tiandong said this, he tugged on Bai Wei's sleeves to remind her that it was time to leave.

There were two cars when we arrived, and ten cars when we left.The villagers gave a lot of gifts in return, plus those prepared by Li Zhong and his wife for the north, and those prepared in advance by Lian, Yu Huai and others.

If you really can’t fit it in, you can only find a team.

Now that the mutual trade between Liangyan and Beiqi has been opened, the bandits in Mopan Mountain have been wiped out, and the caravans have begun to head north one after another.This is the case with this caravan, part of which Tiandong wants to take back to the northern city.Another large part is that the teams themselves have to exchange things with each other.

Take this step before the New Year to make money and celebrate the New Year.On the third day of the twelfth lunar month, Tiandong led a motorcade to the east gate of the mansion behind the government office.With the help of the team members, all the contents of the ten cars were transported to the back house.

After hearing the report, Cheng Xue hurriedly asked Bai Shu to call Li Yue and his sister.

They have been living at home these days, and they are really depressed.

When she came out and saw something in the yard, Cheng Xue was stunned.

"What about...moving?"

Bai Wei came over with a smile, knelt down and saluted, and said:
"Madam is right, it's almost like moving. Here are the ones given by Mr. Dong, Mr. Guo, and my uncle, as well as those prepared by my uncle. This is the letter from Mrs. Zhou to you, and the ones they sent. New Year's gift..."

Balabala talked a lot and received six or seven letters.Let Bai Shao and the others carry the things together while she goes back to her room to read the letter.I originally planned to write a letter to Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Yang, but after I finished writing the details of dividing things, I felt a little lazy. I didn't expect that everyone was still thinking about her.

The first thing I read was the letter from Li Zheng of Wanghe Village. Jiang Jianye expressed his thanks to the county.Thank her for the cattle and sheep she sent back, and thank her for the woolen materials she sent back.He also said that the medicinal seeds have been prepared and are just waiting for trial planting in the coming spring.No one dared to plant too much, so each family set aside an acre of land to try it first.

This requires a lot of courage. After all, if you can give up one acre of land, you have to give up several months of food rations.

Mrs. Xu and Ms. Yang mainly cared about her body, the growth of her children, and whether Li Hui was tired or not.At the same time, there is also the tendency of family affairs and workshops.All in all, it was so addictive that she wanted to go back to the village and stay for a few days.

I didn't quite understand the true meaning of "fallen leaves returning to their roots" before, but now I really understand it.

The country and the local accent are all so nostalgic.

"Madam, these are the account books and money that my father ordered me to bring back. The variety of Dongzi vegetables this year is more than twice that of last year."

Cheng Xue took the box, looked at Tiandong's honest face, and asked:

"Did anything happen on the way back?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw his face blushing.

Seeing this, Cheng Xue felt that there was a way out, and waited for the answer with a smile.

Finally, Tiandong endured a shy "hmm" and scratched the back of his head and replied:
"After we got home and finished eating, she mentioned your matchmaking to my mother. The villain... The villain originally also liked her, but she didn't expect that she brought it up first. Before she came back, my mother gave her a silver coin. The bracelet is a small deposit in exchange for gold."

Ouch, after all, Jianghu people, this speed is really uncool.

"Madam, I would like to ask, can I pay my monthly... monthly payment directly to Bai Wei from next month?"

"Ah? What did you say?" Cheng Xue felt that her hearing was a little bad.

This is just a verbal promise, why does it involve monthly money?

Tian Dong’s cheeks were burning with shame, but she still said firmly:
"The master once taught the villain, saying, 'I am afraid that my wife will get rich', so I have to give the money to my daughter-in-law. Although she has not married, we will definitely be inseparable, so the villain just thought... I just wanted to give her my wages first. Keep it safe so that you don’t have to save it and dare not spend it here.”

Cheng Xue almost choked on her own saliva. As expected, everyone leads others. This Li Hui is really...

"Are you sure you want to give it now? Shunxi didn't give your sister any monthly money."

"He gave it, and he started giving it last month."
