"So that's what it is..."

After listening to my words, Miss Shanxin sighed heavily.

"After all, it's not under the emperor's feet... there is nothing we can do about it...ah... it's pitiful..."

This kind-hearted lady seems to believe in the emperor quite well. From this point of view, she is indeed not from Yuanxing.

I don’t know if she moved here or came to Yuanxing for fun. I hope she can move here, because the more rich people are kind, the better the poor people will live.

Seeing that Miss Shanxin didn't look like she had something to ask me, I nodded at the burly man and quickly left. After experiencing this, I felt a little better, but I was still not very comfortable.

Walking away from home, when I was almost home, light snow fell on the sky. When I got home, the snow was already a little heavy. If the snow kept going tonight, the snow clearing mission will be issued tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Of course, this is not a voluntary snow cleaning, but a project that the Seventh Corps has taken from the municipal government. Generally speaking, it is snow on the road, and it is charged by mileage. If the snow is not too heavy, a mile is usually fifty yuan. Including walking and traveling, one can clear about ten miles a day for one day, and one group can make sixty miles a day.

Generally speaking, as long as five or six regiments are dispatched, the official roads in Yuanxing can be cleaned up within one day. As for the official roads outside Yuanxing, it is not under the jurisdiction of the municipal yamen. If the municipal yamen is not concerned, we will not care about it.

We don’t need to clear the snow in the city, so there is a levy. If the snow cannot be cleared within the specified time, the fine will be imposed at the least, and the fine will be imposed at the worst. In fact, there is no difference between imprisonment and fines. If you enter the bureau, don’t you have to spend money to make it?

When I opened the door, I happened to hear the old farmer pestering my father to ask about things. What Bi Jin said quietly to his father, mother, and grandma. My father refused to say it, and my grandma and grandma refused to say it. When I saw that I was back, I greeted me intimately.

"Riko, why are you back so late?"

"Oh, something happened."

I talked to them about being squatting in the corner by the patrol as a beggar, but they were so happy.

They are not gloating because I didn't tell them the truth, but just told them about it as a joke. If they are not happy, I still feel like a failure.

"Look at you... you won't go home after dinner, you have to go to the side of the road to squat... Oh... I'm so laughing to death..."

My mother burst into tears. I smiled with her, came behind her, and pinched her shoulders.

"Mom, you are so happy, I'll squeeze your shoulders."

"Oh, Riko, don't let him pinch it for you." Grandma said while laughing, "It's impossible for him to show his attention!"

"Yes!" Dad echoed.

"It's okay, let him pinch it!" My mother smiled, "I won't tell him if he pinched it!"

"Yes! Don't tell him!" Dad replied with a smile, "Save him to raise his tail!"

Look! Look! Look! Look at my family!

Except for me, I was united and bullied me together!

"Oh, look at what you said! I can't squeeze my mother's shoulders if I'm fine?"

"If you are fine, you can pinch it for your grandma first, which is filial piety." said the mother, "Do you think I don't know what you are thinking? Don't you just want to know what the young master of the Bi family said to us? I won't tell you!"

"Oh... If you don't tell me, just don't tell me. What else can I do?"

I had a bitter face and continued to pinch my mother's shoulders.

"I have pinched my mother first, so I can only continue pinching it. After pinching my mother, I have to pinch my grandmother, I have to pinch my father, or I will be unfilial."

"You are unfilial!"

The old farmer said, and went straight behind his father and pinched his shoulders with a flattering look on his face.

"Dad, are you comfortable?"

"Comfortable!"

"Look, I am filial!"

Que'er also leaned behind her grandmother and pinched her shoulders with a red face. Grandma first called "yoyoyo" a few times, then praised Que'er for being sensible, and then said that the old farmer was blessed. After grandma said this, Que'er's ears turned red with shame.

Ah, by the way, I almost forgot about the business.

"Old peasant, we have to get up and go back to the army early tomorrow."

"Ah? Why?"

"Why else, it's snowing." I rolled my eyes helplessly, "And the fals I approved have ended, and it's time to go back."

"Ouch! Why is it snowing again!" The old farmer showed a disgusting expression, "You can't stop falling!"

"Oh! It won't be done if you don't fall!" Grandma immediately took the conversation, "Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest! If it doesn't snow in winter, there will be no good harvest next year, and farmers will be hungry!"

"I'm not a farmer." The old farmer curled his lips, "Okay, let's go down, it's not a waste of time. Dad, mother, grandma, Que'er, I'll bring you gifts after the snow is cleared!"

"Where is mine?"

"What does it have to do with you!" The old farmer kicked me in the direction, "You stinking official!"

"Hi! I dare to say that I am a stinky official! That's OK! I'll show you! I'll be corrupt for you this time! Dad, mother, grandma, Que'er, I'll bring you gifts after the snow is cleared!"

"Hi Hi! You're giving me gifts! Is that true?"

"What's wrong with it? Anyway, I have to give it away, and the people who give it away are the same. Who gives it away? Don't you think so?"

Everyone laughed and kept saying yes. The old farmer was not angry when he saw that everyone had changed to bully him in partnership - to be precise, he was not angry with everyone, so he ran to me directly.

I was ready, so I ran away and slipped out of the door. The old farmer quickly chased me out. I was not as physically as him and could not run away from him. Soon he was pressed into the snow and cleaned up a lot.

After hearing enough of my begging for mercy, the old farmer let me go. When I got up, I found that all four of them in the house ran out to watch the fun. Grandma said that the snow would not stop tomorrow. I have always believed in the old man's experience, so I asked the old farmer to prepare for heavy work.

The next day, the snow did not stop. The snow fell for two days and two nights in total, and it stopped on the third morning.

With such heavy snow, it would be nice to clear ten miles a day, it would be nice to clear four miles a day! And it would cost at least one hundred yuan per mile, and the Seventh Legion would not do it if it was one cent less.

Because the snow was too heavy, the road was blocked, and things outside could not be in, and prices quickly rose. Originally, pancakes worth five cents per were sold for eight cents, which was still cheap.

I knew that someone would be out of food again. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh that Que'er's luck was good.

If the old farmer didn't take a fancy to it, it's a problem whether she could survive this snow. You should know that in Yuanxing City, it is not uncommon for people to freeze to death on the roadside and starve to death, at least I have seen it.
