Chapter 198 199 Sister and Brother Reunion

Liu Changmin gloated over his misfortune, "Zhang Defa! At first glance, he is older than Uncle, his hair is white, and he looks miserable. He is helping people do coolies and move things!"

The old village chief sighed: "Zhang Defa was so proud at the beginning! His son passed the examination for a scholar, and his family still has business, so why didn't he think about who gave him all these!"

Grandma Chen pouted and said, "He's been punished! This man! Don't do bad things, God is watching! Look at the days of Xiaoyu's house today, it's sesame opening!"

Chen Yaohui agreed: "Yes! It's retribution. Xiaoyu said Zhang Defa at the beginning, the reincarnation of heaven, everyone can see it."

Li Qing said to Li Mei at home: "Auntie, in two days, I will go to Qingchuan to see my sister, and I will go back to visit my parents' graves at Qingming next year!"

Li Mei looked at Li Qing, shook her head and said, "Auspicious goods have gone to Beijing, and you go back alone, I'm not at ease!"

"I'm not alone. People from Sihai Qianzhuang want to send rice seeds to Qingzhou. I will go with them and give my sister some new rice seeds this year."

After listening to Li Mei, she thought for a while, "Your cousin is getting married next fall, tell your sister, alas! Yu'er didn't have time to come back to marry Zhao Di! I don't know when my aunt will see your sister again. ."

Li Qing got up and saluted: "Aunt! I've prepared the gift box for my cousin. When the time comes, you can go to the room to get it yourself! I'll ask my aunt for family matters!"

Li Mei took Li Qing's hand, looked at Li Qing with reluctance, and said with tears: "Aqing, you have to be careful along the way, and send a letter to your aunt when you get there, do you know?"

Li Qing looked at Brother Pig and instructed Li Mei: "I see! Aunt, you and uncle must take care of your health, and Brother Pig must be strictly disciplined, don't be too coddled!"

Li Mei was a little ashamed after hearing this. Her husband and wife finally got married to Brother Pig again. They were indeed pampered with Brother Pig. Even Ah Qing could see it.

"Auntie knows it, my Ah Qing is sensible."

Brother Pig watched his mother and cousin crying and laughing. He didn't know how happy he was, so he'd leave him soon!

Li Yu didn't know that Li Qing was going to set off to see her coming, and was still joking about Xiaoyu, "Congratulations Xiaoyu, look, you and Ruyi got married later than us, you are pregnant! Let Ruyi report to your parents. good news!"

Xiaoyu was both happy and ashamed, and looked at Li Yu with a blushing face, "Madam! You are making fun of me again, and ignore you!"

The days are flat and warm, and in a blink of an eye, the snowflakes are fluttering in winter, and the county office has been renovated! The ninth day of the winter lunar month was an auspicious day. The Li Yu family moved into the backyard of the county government office, and Tu Dianshi also relied on the Li Yu family to move into the county government office.

The newly-built back house of the county government is a big two-door yard. There are more than a dozen rooms in the front and back yards. Fire walls are built in the backyard, and the house is as warm as spring!

The river in Qingchuan was dredged and reinforced before the twelfth lunar month, and the dams were reinforced. All the streets in the county town were paved with bluestone roads. Zhou Jia followed Li Yu's suggestion to build public toilets in every street, and hired more than a dozen disabled people and elderly people. , cleaning public toilets and streets, and built two huts next to each public toilet for the street sweepers to rest.

In the wasteland of Xicheng, a farmer's market was built, and the traders who sold vegetables, meat, and those poultry were specially designated for local trade.

The location of the vendors' stalls has also been delineated. There is a street for eating, a street for selling bamboo and wooden wares and various woven products. Under each stall, craftsmen are also invited to use bricks to place stall tools. In this place, a booth has a size of six or seven square meters. It charges a monthly fee of 30 cents for hygiene and 60 cents for taxes. On the first day, dozens of companies came to sign up and set up a booth.

After the arrangement was properly arranged, the streets were cleaned, the public toilets were cleaned, and the city of Qingchuan became clean and full of vitality.

Zhou Jia is also planning to build a school in the north of the county after the spring, and plans to leave Shen Wu after the bandit suppression to Zhou Jia, and spend all the money that has not been used up in repairing the county in Qingchuan City. Today, the people of Qingchuan no longer worry about being attacked by bandits. Looting, they all lived in peace and contentment.

After noon on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, Li Qing and Ah Lei finally arrived at the gate of Qingchuan City, looking at the newly renovated city wall, and lined up at the gate with the peasants on their backs, waiting to enter the city, Li Qing thought: Qing Chuan didn't seem to be as bad as the shopkeeper Chu said!

Alei closed his hat and smiled at Li Qing: "Master, when Madam and Uncle see you, they will be surprised and delighted!"

Li Qing imagined what her sister looked like when she saw him, and couldn't wait in her heart, "Yeah! My sister and brother-in-law would never have imagined that I would run so far to see them, I don't know if they are thin or fat!"

The people in front had finished, and finally it was Li Qing's turn. The yamen smiled at Alei: "Little brother, you have to hang a pocket for the horse's dung after the horse's **** before you can enter the city. It costs three cents per pocket."

"Okay." A Lei readily put the three cents in the bamboo basket that the yamen was holding, and the yamen hung a linen basket behind the horse's **** to catch the horse manure before letting Li Qing's car enter the city.

Alei looked at the clean and tidy streets and boasted to Li Qing: "Young master, you can see that Uncle and Madam are capable, and the streets are cleaner than what we have seen in other counties."

Li Qing nodded, feeling very happy. When he arrived at the cross street, he saw the newly renovated county government office at a glance. Alei speeded up, and when the carriage reached the gate of the back government office, Li Qing jumped out of the carriage and walked inside. , A thin middle-aged man with some lame legs stopped him and smiled politely: "Little brother, this is the backyard of the county government and you can't rush into it. Who are you looking for?"

Li Qing had to stop, cupped his hands and said, "Uncle, please inform Madam, and say that Ah Qing is here."

The man saw Li Qing's appearance and felt that he was two-fold similar to his wife, and said politely: "Wait a minute, I will inform you!"

After a while, Li Qing saw Li Yu running to the door with an excited look on his face, Li Qing's tears flowed involuntarily, and greeted Li Yu, "Sister, I'm here!"

"Stinky boy! Why did you come so quietly, so far, what if something happened on the road!" Li Yu pulled Li Qing with a tearful smile, "The taller you are, the more handsome you are! Auntie Are they all right?"

"Don't worry, everyone's good aunt made you new clothes and new shoes, and I brought you this year's new rice seeds." Li Qing saw Li Yu's ruddy face and high spirits. Feeling embarrassed, he touched his face, "It's true that you've grown taller, how can there be Changjun? You're not afraid that people will hear jokes!"

"New Rice Seeds! This is a great gift, and there's more! You're already handsome, and my sister didn't talk nonsense. Who laughed at us! Tell me now, are you fascinated by the little girl?"

"Sister! Why are you still the same as before! Is brother-in-law still working in the yamen?"
