Chapter 401 Loving You Until You Are Old

Ji Xinmiao hid under the quilt and didn't dare to move, for fear that the cute Xixi would drag her and ask her what she did that night.

"I don't know either. Mom must be working at night, or else Dad wouldn't say that she is tired. Let's go play with my brother and the others. Dad said, we are older sisters, we need to spend more time with younger brother." Five-year-old Sure enough, the child has begun to speak in an orderly manner.

Hearing the orderly words of the two sisters, Ji Xinmiao wanted to eat Qi Dalang.Is this man's brain a pig's brain?Say such ambiguous words to such a small child?She was about to roar, but her mouth was tightly closed again.

Hearing the footsteps of the two sisters leaving after a while, Ji Xinmiao was relieved to see the two walking gently towards the door with short legs.Although angry that Qi Dalang was talking nonsense in front of the child, but listening to the child's concern, his heart warmed like spring.

Ji Xinmiao got ready, Qi Dalang stepped in, he approached the bedside and looked at her tenderly: "Sleeping?"

After tossing and tossing for too long yesterday, even though Ji Xinmiao woke up early at this time, her face was still a bit sleepy.Hearing Qi Dalang's question, she wanted to scold someone, but seeing the concern on that face, she nodded involuntarily: "It's late, isn't it?"

Qi Dalang knew that he had a little time last night, but he was really reluctant to let go of such a lovely daughter-in-law.He stretched out his hand and waved her to sit in his arms, kneading her body with his big hands very considerately, and after soothing her overworked body, he said: "It's not too late, anyway, there's nothing wrong with this winter."

Sure enough, a man's thoughtfulness is the best weapon against a woman. He wanted to complain about this man, but Ji Xinmiao turned his complaint into dependence in a single thought.She put her hands around the man's neck, and whispered in his ear: "Sir, you are so kind! I like you so much, and I like you to love me."

Qi Dalang's heart was filled instantly, and he bowed his head and kissed her: "Little fool... who will go if I don't love you? When a daughter grows up, his son-in-law loves him, and when his son grows up, he has to love his wife. In this life, there is only you You are my eternal baby, and I will love you till I grow old."

Pain her to old age?This promise is really good!Ji Xinmiao buried her face under Qi Dalang's neck, and took a long breath: "It smells so good..."

The two of them lingered together for a while, and when Ji Xinmiao went out, the sun was already high.

The originally hired cook only left two people in the compound. Although Aunt Qi's belly is a bit big, but with her and An Yuan's help to take care of them, the meals of the Qi family can still be taken care of. not bad.

Thick rice porridge cooked with corn flour, rice, and sweet potatoes was steaming hot. Pancakes with scallion oil and eggs were also fried to a bright yellow color.Coupled with the few pickles that Qian Lanlan taught Aunt Qi and his daughter to make, Ji Xinmiao's appetite increased greatly.

"Msister, can I go and see the basket during the first month?"

Qi Dalang said considerately: "What's wrong with this? Isn't it just a two-hour carriage road? After the heavy snow melts, it will be faster to repair the road to Xiaping Village according to your idea. Two days ago Brother Liu wrote in a letter saying that my sister-in-law wanted to come to celebrate the New Year, but she had such a big belly, so my brother didn't agree with her coming. He said that he was having trouble with her for the past two days.

How about this, you write a letter to your sister-in-law, saying that we will visit her in the next year and tell her not to come.It's too cold, the roads are not good, her stomach is more than eight months old, and something is really going to happen, Brother Liu, don't you regret it?He is in his 30s and this is his first child. "

Ji Xinmiao despises Qian Balanlan's arrogance.That Liu Chenghu is actually a paper tiger, he looks serious on the surface, but he is a wife slave in private, he is helpless in the face of money baskets acting like a spoiled child.

Alright, Money Basket, for the sake of sisterhood, the sister-in-law has worked hard to persuade you.This is not the modern era with concrete and asphalt roads, and there are no planes to sit on. If you make any trouble, be careful that your old man will go crazy!There's no mental hospital here, you need to be sober.

The New Year passed in a blink of an eye, and Ji Xinmiao made a unified plan for road construction.

To get rich, have fewer children and build more roads!

It is impossible to have fewer children in this era, because it is hard to find children in this era.Especially in those big families, the pregnant women are those ladies who don't leave the house. How many people would have lost both mother and child after giving birth, and how many families gave birth to a child as weak as a cat?How many underage children can be killed by one wind and cold?This cannot be calculated.

Ji Xinmiao wanted to find a few doctors, and also wanted to grow herbs, which was calculated.There are several doctors in the family, and safety will be guaranteed.

Moreover, Huanhuanxi has been free-ranging since she was a child. She is not afraid of wild children. The advantage of wild children is that they are in good health, so children in ancient rural areas are easier to feed than children from wealthy families.There are also many reasons why children from rich families learn to raise them cheaply.

Hanhan and Junjun are two boys, and Ji Xinmiao made them climb on the kang every day. Seven months later, she helped Qi Erlang make two wooden baby walkers. There are many rollers on the ground.The twins are relatively weak in physique, but the two boys are not yet a year old, and they can already walk two or three steps without letting go.

It was impossible to have fewer children, so Ji Xinmiao had no choice but to think about building roads.

After the barren hills are all promising, transportation is the most important thing. The road is repaired, the transportation is convenient, and the things at home can be sent out faster.The sooner the money is sent, the faster the money will come. Only with the money can we do a good job in construction.If this place is developed, talented craftsmen will be willing to come here.

Now their family has manpower and material resources, and she doesn't want to waste them.So as soon as she finished visiting relatives after the New Year, she started to build roads.Cement and asphalt roads cannot be repaired, but stone and sand roads are all ready-made materials on the river beach.

After seeing the money basket on the fourth day of the first lunar month, Qi Dalang returned home, and went to the head of the village, Liu Xiuwen, to discuss road construction.It is respect for the head of the village to inform him of breaking ground, and it can also make him feel the courtesy of the Qi family.

When he heard the news that Qi's family was going to build a road, his beard trembled with excitement: "Okay, that's great! If this road can be repaired, then the cotton and fruits in our village will be more marketable! Eldest nephew, the old man exaggerates you, you are a great benevolent person in our Shangping village!
How about this, tomorrow I will discuss with several elders in the village. From the day you start working, each family in the village will contribute one labor until the road is repaired!Before spring sowing, each family should produce at least two. "

One labor force per family?That's nearly a hundred laborers!If each family produces two before the spring sowing, then the road will not be difficult!
Qi Dalang cupped his hands cheerfully: "Then it's hard work, old man. My nephew is already optimistic about the day when the work will start. The tenth day of the Lunar New Year is a good day, and the start of work will be on that day!"
