Chapter 586 Hit the wall!
The wounded soldier glanced at those people and curled his lips and said: "These are all people who are lazy to cook on weekdays. Last night, they conspired to steal relief food and sell it. Everyone was so angry that I tied them up and threw them out."
Li Laosi nodded and was about to bring his wife and daughter in.
Jiayin turned around and ran back to the back of the car. Using the cover of the car, he took out a new straw hat from the space and gave it to the veteran.
"Uncle, if you wear this hat, the wound is not healed yet. It needs to be ventilated and cannot be covered."
“Thank you, Princess!” The veteran looked grateful and took the straw hat with both hands, his nose a little sore.
Jiayin smiled, waved her hand, and led her father into the yard.
Li Laoer was talking to several scholars.
It turns out that in the past few days, the vacant courtyard has been repaired and temporarily rented to these scholars.
The price is not high, and the only requirement is that they take turns helping the Relief Department organize the account books.
The account books of the Relief Department are nothing more than the money and food allocated by the court. How much comes in on a certain day, and how much is spent.
Furthermore, any amount of food and supplies donated by kind-hearted people in the city must also be recorded in the account.
In fact, these tasks are not difficult. Just find two boys from the village who can do it. Li Laoer is a bookkeeper, so it is extremely easy.
But he still insisted on using these scholars.
Because the accounts are open to these people, they are open to the entire Xindu and the entire Tianwu!
Everyone knows it, and no one doubts that he is greedy for ink.
Several scholars responded happily. After all, if they work for half a day a month, they can reduce their rent by half, which is really a good deal.
Helping the Relief Agency is also a good deed.
When Li Laoer saw his younger brother and his family arriving, he quickly sent the scholars away, and then took his younger brother and his family around everywhere.
In the kitchen, I don’t know what went wrong, but there was a smell of paste.
Tao Hongying hurried to help. Jiayin hugged the little fox and ran to watch the fun.
Li Laoer took advantage of this time to talk to his younger brother about his plan.
In the past few days, he has taken over all the people from the market that his eldest brother had previously won over.
The thorns at the Relief Department are also tied outside the door.
Just wait for a while to observe, then choose the right people to start cleaning the streets, and spread eyeliner all over Kyoto.
By then, whether it is the Wang family or the Wu family, even if they are not able to compete head-on for the time being, at least they will be able to clearly grasp their movements.
The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way you can win a hundred battles!
At any time, being passive can only result in being beaten. Only by taking the initiative can the balance of victory be tilted...
At noon, Zheng Feng ran to Cyclamen to pick up the food box, and everyone stayed at the relief office to eat.
Li Laoer has no good way to deal with the human-shaped rice dumplings outside.
If they were thrown to the government office, they wouldn't have committed any serious crime, and they would probably be released after being detained for three to five days.
At that time, whether they are secretly thinking about harming the relief department or running around the city, it will not be a good outcome.
In the end, it was Li Laosi who came up with a good idea, "We need people to work at the dock. Why not throw them over there to do hard labor? After a year and a half of hard work, all laziness will be cured."
Li Laoer's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said with a smile: "This is a good idea. I have placed a few veterans here, and I can also return some strong laborers at the dock!"
Everyone also laughed. After eating, Li Laosi called two veterans and asked them to take his waist badge and send him to the dock.
The "human-shaped rice dumplings" initially thought they were going to the government office, but they didn't take it seriously. After all, they had not been in before, so they were considered repeat customers. But when they thought that the carriage actually left the city and went farther and farther, they became frightened...
Unfortunately, whether they were afraid or regretful, it was already too late.
It would be a great thing if you can stay at the relief agency with peace of mind, have work to do, and food to eat.
They just wanted to get pie in the sky and get something for nothing, and they treated Li Laoer as a soft persimmon, and ended up kicking him on the iron plate!
Li Laosi took his wife and children, half a cart of incense candles, paper money, and the well-fed and sleeping little fox out of the city. Soon he saw his own archway in the distance.
Not far from the archway, the foundation of the second village has been dug and has taken a prototype.
The people in the village are very busy!
The village chief walked around with his hands behind his back, holding a pipe and pot, shouting to the villagers from time to time, and he was full of energy.
It is said that when people are old, they are afraid of being idle, and when they are idle, they are prone to illness.
It is a good thing to be busy with something or worry about something.
After all, if you have concerns in your heart, you will not be willing to leave. If you are not willing to leave, you will live a few more years!
According to the wishes of the Li family and the villagers, they wish the village chief could live to be a hundred years old.
Li Laosi stopped the car, ran to give the village chief a pack of dry tobacco leaves, and chatted and laughed with the villagers before continuing to walk home.
Mrs. Li was looking at the gate. When she saw the carriage coming back, she was so happy that she grinned from ear to ear.
Jiayin didn't wait for the carriage to stop, and jumped out of my mother's arms. She rushed into her grandma's arms like a little leopard, "Grandma, I miss you so much. I will never go out to play again. I will stay at home with grandma."
Old Mrs. Li hugged her chubby granddaughter, carrying her heart all day and night, and finally felt at ease.
She knew clearly that her granddaughter was following her son and daughter-in-law, so she would definitely not be thirsty or hungry, but she couldn't help but think about her.
This is a treasure that was held in her palms and raised in her eyeballs!
At this moment, she felt extremely happy, but she said: "Humph, you still know that you are back. Grandma thinks you can't find your home?!"
Jiayin smiled and twisted around in grandma's arms. She kissed her left cheek and then her right cheek, making Mrs. Li laugh so hard.
When Grandma He, Shui Ling and Shui Yun heard the movement, they also came out to welcome them.
Grandma He smiled and said: "The princess is finally back. The old lady got up early and ran to the door to look around. If you don't come back, the door panel will probably be torn off."
"Nonsense! I heard magpies chirping outside the door, and I just wanted to take a look." Mrs. Li refused to admit it, and hugged her granddaughter to walk into the courtyard.
It’s a pity that my granddaughter’s body is really not light, so it’s a little difficult for her to hold her.
In the end, it was Li Laosi who took over his daughter. Tao Hongying supported her mother-in-law and walked in together.
The little fox also woke up and jumped up and down on the shoulders of Shui Ling and Shui Yun.
Before everyone could sit down, Madam Hui brought Xiaocui over. The two of them carried a basket filled with many mushrooms.
"Auntie, we went up the mountain to pick up mushrooms. Let me share a basket with you. Let's make soup for dinner at night." Madam Hui poured the mushrooms under the eaves, causing everyone to look at them.
Mrs. Li was surprised and said: "I thought it would take a while for the mushrooms to grow, but I didn't want it to be so early."
Huiniang smiled and said, "I don't know either, it was Miss Xiaocui who took me there. She knows a lot of mushrooms!"
Xiaocui is a farm girl born and raised here. Everyone in the new village came from the north, so naturally she is not as familiar with the solar terms and products here.
At this moment, she blushed and whispered: "This kind of mushroom is delicious in soup. You can pick it and eat it now. There are also several kinds that are picked and dried in the sun. The stew is even more delicious in winter."
"Okay, Xiaocui, take us up the mountain often from now on! I'm counting on you for the mushrooms for chicken stew in winter." Tao Hongying also said with a smile, causing Xiaocui to keep nodding.
