After breakfast the next day, Cheng Xue ordered Li Zhong to drive and show Wei Laowen the road.
When Xiao Qinglin and Zhou Fei heard about repairing the official road, they both spent money to help. This is Zhou Fei's hometown, and his contribution is understandable. Xiao Feng is at the forest farm here, and Xiao Qinglin, as his nephew, repairs the official road.
You should also deserve it.
Of course, there is a more important point. They have to "live" here for a long time. It is rare that my sister-in-law wants to do something, so how can I not support it. Both of them are very arrogant, just like Cheng Xue, each of them contributed a thousand. Such three thousand taels of silver notes should be more than enough to repair an official road from Yujiatun to the county.
Cheng Xue asked Li Zhong to prepare quickly. After Jiang Jianye learned about it, he quickly went to the town to report the news to the mayor. He thought very simply. If the superiors were happy again, maybe the tax and grain could be halved this year, that would be great. As happened last year, many families in the village were holding weddings by the end of the year. This spring, new wives have all given birth to babies. In more than ten years, the babies will grow up and they will be strong laborers.
If you want to preserve a big village, you cannot just have land, you must have people. Only with people can you have money. This is an eternal truth.
The news of repairing official roads in Wanghe Village quickly spread throughout Shushan Town. Last year, a "comfort memorial monument" reduced their village's tax revenue by half, and none of the follow-up imitations were spread. Now it can't be done
It’s over.
Anyone can just repair the official road and fill up the potholes. Every village has followed suit, hoping to reduce taxes and grains. In this way, before the Ghost Festival, Shushan Town became enthusiastic about "repairing the official road".
No matter what the purpose of each village is, at least the effect is good. If you drive along the official road, it will not block the car on cloudy and rainy days, which is a good thing for the people.
Wanghe Village has experience in repairing official roads, so every day in Tiandong, Tianma went to keep an eye on it, and with Wei Laowen helping out, the progress was very fast.
Cheng Xue didn't have to worry, she only needed to take good care of the health of the three candidates at home. On the morning of the tenth day of July, the group set out for Fucheng. Li Hui and Yan Yixin turned around when they arrived at Pingyang County, and they continued on their way. Du Pingren went to Fucheng with him, and there were only two of them, so Cheng Xue was not tired. After the three-game provincial examination, both of them were in very good condition.
I think I have exercised a lot this year, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to take such good supplements. It really complied with the saying "Everything teaches you, once you do it," it was clear that Zhou Fei could top the list, but he retained his strength and got eighth place. Du Pingren failed, but he is still young. If he takes his time, he will have plenty of opportunities. The triplets of the He family all won this year. Although there seems to be no overlap at the moment, Cheng Xue feels that the future of these three people... will not be too simple. p>
After releasing the list, Zhou Fei's family of three followed Cheng Xue back to Wanghe Village. It was not until the Mid-Autumn Festival that they said goodbye with Xiao Qinglin and went back to their respective homes.
Cheng Xue had everything ready, leaving Li Zhong and his wife to look after the house while the others drove to Yujiatun.
The repaired official road has very few bumps and is much faster than before.
Mr. Yu Huai and his son had been waiting at the entrance of the village for a long time. When he saw them arriving, he couldn't help waving, and Mr. Pang also got out of the car.
"Oh, brother, you have worked hard. Is the road condition okay?"
"Okay, it's much better than before." Mr. Pang said as he looked at the village in front of him that was different from Wanghe Village.
Wanghe Village is a large village and does not adhere to one surname. It is different from Yujiatun. Most of the people in the village have the surname Yu. Occasionally there are some who do not have the surname Yu. They are okay if they are popular, but they are easily excluded if they are not popular.
He followed Yu Huai slowly into the village, listened to his introduction, looked at the Yu family's ancestral hall, and nodded slowly. It's no wonder that "Yu" is a common surname. Looking at this ancestral hall, you can tell that it has a certain heritage and foundation. After careful consideration, I'm afraid
The Yu family and the Li family used to be equally divided, otherwise the two families would not have become in-laws.
"Brother, look, there is a melon field over there. When the sun is full, we will go there and eat melons in the sun. It will be sweet and comfortable."
"Okay, I'll let you decide." Mr. Pang had no objection at all.
When he reaches his age, he has learned to let go of many things. Not to mention being surrounded by children every day, he does feel much more comfortable. Although he still misses his wife, it is obviously much lighter now than at the beginning. p>
Arriving at Yu's house, what you see is a spacious courtyard with seven tile-roofed houses. This is the ancestral house and has not been touched. At first, it was said that only the east courtyard would be built, but I didn't expect that both the east and west courtyards had been built, and each courtyard was
Five rooms.
"Brother, you live with Tiedan and the others in the Xikuoyuan. It's newly built, spacious and quiet. I also have a son who is striving for a future in southern Xinjiang. No matter where he settles in the future, he must have a home at home. Don't you
If you hate it, stay here."
"I don't mind, guests do as they please." Mr. Pang nodded with a smile.
Looking at the window, he knew that the room must be bright. Just like the windows in Li Hui's house, the diameter was wide. As for his granddaughter, he didn't have to worry about it. With Li Tian and Li Yue here, the child didn't live with him. Li Heng was very happy
I like to spend time with him and always ask about interesting things about my granddaughter when she was a child.
Cheng Xue and Liu didn't leave when they arrived at Dongkuaoyuan. This is the wedding room, and the festive charm can be felt everywhere.
The main room is very large, with the north and south windows facing each other, and the diameter is very large, making it particularly bright. There can be three people sleeping on the top of the kang, which is not as big as the base. On the west side are cabinets, boxes, and a dressing table.
At first glance, it looks like it's newly painted, and the paint is beautifully painted. Especially the dressing table, and the bronze mirror looks like it's of high quality, and the person reflected in it is very clear.
"My aunt is so generous! This dressing table is not cheap."
Although the one she used was made by Dong Bin, the bronze mirror was bought in Fucheng. A small piece cost eight taels of silver. The one in front of her was larger than the one she used, but the clarity was not as good as hers, but it was not cheap.
Hearing this, Ms. Liu corrected herself:
"The furniture in this house is not cheap, but we didn't buy it, it was the woman's dowry. I heard that she has a second uncle who is a carpenter in Qingling Town, and he also brought the furniture from the other four houses." Good guy, really good guy!
Seeing that there were only two of them left in the room, Cheng Xue whispered:
"Auntie, look at the dowry of other girls, our younger sisters will have to do the same in the future."
"That's for sure." Ms. Liu couldn't help but nodded, "I'm already stressed before we even get married. I can't accompany you like this when I wait for you. Life at home is getting better day by day. I listen to you, my daughter.
Just like a son, a daughter must be pampered well."
I didn’t expect that the words I talked about a few years ago would have such great staying power.
In this case, Cheng Xue is not worried anymore. As for her sister-in-law's marriage, she is not in a hurry, just take her time.
They arrived very early, and Ms. Liu urged her husband and son to take them around the village, see the newly built caves, and go to the melon fields on the way. She took her daughter, Bai Shao, to prepare lunch at home.
I bought all the meat and fish a long time ago, and the dishes are all ready-made, so you can just cook them.
Cheng Xue went out to visit the cave and came back. She didn't help with the cooking, she just sat aside to light the fire and chat...
