Chapter 448

No problems were found from the capital to the south of the Yangtze River.

Since Li Chengru took office, many places have assigned new ministers. In order to do some deeds, these ministers are diligent and report their achievements to the palace regularly. Xiao Baoshan inspected carefully and found that there is no difference. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and there is a thriving area everywhere.

In this way, they walked and stopped all the way and soon reached Qinghe County.

"Father, mother, is this your former hometown?"

When entering the city, Dongdong asks Ye Xiaoxian and xiaobaoshan.

Ye Xiaoxian said with a smile: "yes, both parents grew up here, and grandma grew up here."

Dongdong said again, "there are some simple here, but it's better than when we were in Mobei."

"Yes, after all, it's a small border county. Where can it compare with the capital and Jiangnan? However, Hexin county also has the characteristics of Hexin county. For example, it's like spring all the year round, not hot in summer, not cold in winter, and it's never snowed here."

Xiao Xia said, "can't you make a snowman or play a snowball in winter? Will winter be very boring?"

"Of course not. There are ways to play here. It's fun to go up the mountain and down the river and bake potatoes in the field..."

They entered the city while chatting. Dongdong and Xiaoxia are curious babies, walking and watching all the way.

Ye Xiaoxian asked Xiao Baoshan in the carriage, "Baoshan, how did you come back after you went to war? Did you ride back through mountains and rivers like this?"

Xiao Baoshan held her hand, Then he said: "when I didn't ride a horse, I walked all the way back. I occasionally stopped the carriage and ox cart on the way. I didn't get home until I walked for two or three months. At that time, I was extremely depressed. When I got home, my clothes were in tattered condition, so my mother was very distressed to see me. All the villagers in the village thought I came back only after fooling around outside and thought I had nothing to do."

Ye Xiaoxian smiled: "so when you come back this time, are you going to tell your true identity to the villagers?"

Li Hongmei replied, "I don't know if there are any villagers. I'm afraid everything has changed here after a refugee?"

There was silence in the carriage, and everyone was thinking.

……

Qinghe County, they found an inn to stay.

Ye Xiaoxian remembers that the biggest Inn here used to be the Junlai Inn, but now there is no such inn. After the war, earth shaking changes have taken place in the city. The former Inn has become a song theater. Some buildings have been overthrown and rebuilt, and the streets are much more lively, but there are accents everywhere.

Vaguely, I can still hear the accents of some locals, but they say "Yankees" and "Nanhai guys" one by one, very much like some modern xenophobic locals.

However, the shopkeepers in the major shops are all from other places.

After the war, a large number of refugees poured into Qinghe County. Later, xiaobaoshan calmed down here, the land was redistributed, and the powerful gradually mastered the economy here, so the rich were not locals.

On the way through a general temple, Xiao Xia shouted excitedly, "look, this statue looks like a father. Is it a father?"

Ye Xiaoxian also saw it.

Isn't that stone statue xiaobaoshan?

It should have been built by the people when Xiaobao mountain was restored. However, because the people of Xiaobao mountain are still there, it is inappropriate to offer incense, so the place is gradually deserted.

But there are still some wilted fruits at the door.

When ye Xiaoxian saw this, she didn't know why. She just felt a little funny, although she knew she shouldn't laugh.

Xiao Baoshan doesn't care about these things.

They found an inn in the city that looked a little high-grade and stayed. The innkeeper came from other places and said the accent of the west side.

Seeing the dress of Xiao Baoshan and his party, the shopkeeper always said that there were noble people in the Inn and the reception was very warm.

"Listen to your accent, how many people used to be locals? Then they fled to other places?"

Xiao Baoshan said, "yes, I fled to other places."

"It seems that you are doing well in other places. Are you coming back to visit your relatives or to walk around?"

"Walk around." Xiao Baoshan said, "my relatives are in the field."

"It's good to come back for a walk. We came from DINGHE county. Alas, think about the years before the war, many relatives were separated, but now it's better, life is stable, and there's hope. Now the new emperor takes office, taxes are reduced, and we ordinary people can do business at ease."

Xiao Baoshan asked the shopkeeper, "is there security here?"

"Some, some. In the past, because there were many outsiders, the county magistrate was very strict. He was not allowed to form gangs and make trouble. He also set up some good county people awards. If anyone did business, he could win the award. It was also very interesting. Otherwise, we would settle down now and would not settle in Qinghe County."

"So, the magistrate is not bad?" Xiaobao mountain road.

"Of course, he's a good official. People on our side like him. I hope he can stay here as our parent official all the time." The shopkeeper said.

The shopkeeper said so, Xiao Baoshan felt relieved about Qinghe County.

The shopkeeper suddenly stared at Xiao Baoshan for a while, and then said, "eh, this noble man looks familiar."

Xiao Baoshan made a rare joke: "you mean, I look like a stone statue in the street general temple? Someone said that when I first came."

"Yes, yes!" The shopkeeper patted his forehead: "it's really similar."

"My pleasure, but that's not me." Xiao Baoshan said with a smile.

After hearing what Xiao Baoshan said, the shopkeeper smiled: "it's strange to look like that, but I know you're definitely not the general. I heard that the general entered the capital and shouldn't come back to remote places like us."

……

After settling down, they went out for a stroll.

Qinghe County is not big, there are only a few streets in total, but although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of internal organs, snacks, drinks and so on.

Because there are many outsiders, they can eat delicious food from all over the world. They searched for a long time before they found a restaurant opened by local people to eat some local food.

The business of this restaurant is very good. It takes a quarter of an hour to get a seat.

Unexpectedly, ye Xiaoxian saw someone selling boiled fish inside.

Isn't this the dish she cooked when she opened an inn in Qinghe County?

Li Hongmei also felt strange and said to Ye Xiaoxian why are the dishes here so familiar? Is it an acquaintance?
