Yan Yixin looked at the county town like this and suggested softly:
"Uncle, do you think it's okay to expand the city? This place is really too small."
"Yes, Dad, that large open space in the south is quite a waste." Li Heng also added.
Anyway, there were no outsiders, and the children in the family all contributed their own strategies. If they were successfully adopted, they would be credited.
Cheng Xue didn't speak, and just watched the children talking quietly.
The last time we had this conversation was during the Chinese New Year, and now it is March. Li Yue and Li Heng have both grown significantly taller, and Li Tian and Li Huai have become more sensible. This kind of border experience is the most stimulating to grow, and although she is reluctant to give it up,
I also feel that I am lucky. After all, she and Li Hui are both here, so they have no problems at all in terms of psychological counseling.
Just as Xiao Song thought, Wadalu's cold syndrome did not last long, and he was basically cured in ten days. Cheng Xue did not hide any secrets, and the prescriptions were left directly to the medicine hall here. If next year
If the flu comes back again, take two doses of medicine and then continue. If it doesn't work, she will come back.
Li Hui will stay here for five years. She believes that a lot will change and many miracles will be created in five years.
I left Wadalu and returned to Fucheng in the north. I was still wearing thick cotton clothes when I left, but when I came back I was already wearing light spring clothes.
She was not in a hurry to go home, but took Li Yue to the Blacksmith Village. The villagers who lived in this village gradually came back, and Li Hui personally settled them. Some were sent to Wadalu, some to Wutanxia, and some to Wutanxia.
There are two other cities where people have been placed.
Although Wutanxia's cattle and sheep are now herded by locals, the yamen will take over the rearing, and their work will not be in vain, as they will receive a large sum of money as a reward.
Naturally, Liang Yan benefited from the peace talks between the two dynasties. In order to commend this recovery of lost territory, the imperial court not only commended the troops stationed in the north, but also commended the northern state capital, and even commended Cheng Xue's mother and son.
Except for Cheng Xue, who gave five hundred taels of gold, the other children all gave jade and other objects. These things all bear the seal of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and cannot be sold, but they can be used as betrothal gifts, dowries, and as heritage.
When the couple came to the Blacksmith Village, it was obviously much more lively than before. There was also the sound of "knocking, banging, banging" everywhere, and houses were being built in full swing. They went directly to the tofu shop in the village, and before entering the hospital, they heard the sound of people shouting.
The voice of the seventh daughter-in-law, Guan Shi, should be urging her to hurry up and wait for the goods to be shipped.
"Mom, life is good here."
After listening to her words, Cheng Xue nodded and whispered:
"I heard from You Guan that the only tofu shop in the nearby village is this tofu shop, so it needs a lot of goods and a lot of manpower."
Their family runs their own workshop, so they know what having more people means.
"Ah, Mrs. Li is here. Why didn't you call me? You missed me from afar."
Mrs. Guan came over as she spoke and bowed seriously. She was much more cheerful and cheerful than when she saw her last winter.
"I have nothing to do, just walking around. How are your boys doing? Are they okay?"
"Okay, okay, why not!" When she mentioned her children, the corner of her mouth never drooped again.
There are three villages here. The government chose the central location to build a school, and shamelessly hired ten talented people from Liaodong to teach. At first, no one wanted to come. After all, the northern border was not as good as Liaodong. But Li Hui was willing to spend a lot of money.
, as long as you come, I will arrange a house, money, and land for you.
Under the heavy reward, there must be brave men. So all ten scholars came over.
In the past, if the academy fees allocated by the imperial court were used appropriately, there would be surplus. But Li Hui did not want to take advantage of this. After all, education cannot be sloppy, and in the first three years, schools and academies were free of charge. Although some people wanted to object to his move
, but Li Hui’s reasons cannot be refuted, so naturally no one can object.
You can't tell anything after studying for one year, but you can tell the difference between good and bad after studying for three years. Those who want to take the scientific examination will naturally have saved enough money by this time, and they can continue. Those who don't want to take the scientific examination can understand Chinese characters, and it is also good for them
What a great gift.
Mrs. Guan spoke crisply about the recent events in her family, and even personally took Cheng Xue and her daughter to the new home they had just moved into.
There are seven tile-roofed houses, facing north and south, with a large yard.
"...Although we haven't gotten the red deed for this house yet, there is a white deed proving that this house belongs to us. Mr. Li is really very thoughtful. Madam, please have tea. I bought this from the town.
It's called scented tea. It's not comparable to the one at your house, so you can drink it freshly."
It has a very refreshing scent of osmanthus, which I guess was used by the Du Qi family to entertain guests.
As the manager of the Saharama Arsenal, people come to the house frequently, so it is normal to have these things.
Putting down the teacup, he nodded with a smile and said:
"It's about the same. It's very fragrant. I'll buy some next time. There are no outsiders here. We all come from the village. I don't like drinking that bitter tea."
"Hey, madam, please wait, I will put some osmanthus honey for you, it will be delicious."
Guan stood up quickly and quickly brought back a jar. She put honey in three teacups and put some into the teapot.
It can be seen that her family is living a good life, otherwise they would not dare to have such luxury.
"During spring plowing, we rested on the mountain. Our whole family went to the fields and planted a lot of corn. If it is true that one acre of land can be harvested five shi taels as the official from the Ministry of Rites said, then we will have more than enough to chew grain this year."
Through this period of running the tofu shop, Guan has been able to accurately observe people's words and emotions. It is useless to say that those who are vain are useless, and giving them directly is the clearest attitude. Cheng Xue couldn't help but talk about the current situation in the village.
He nodded and asked some questions that interested him.
"There must be marriages. Since the Chinese New Year, three families have held weddings. They all married not far away. In our village, there is a little daughter-in-law who is pregnant."
"Yes, yes, but be careful. Don't be too rigid in your village, otherwise it will be easy for them to get confused if they are all relatives." Cheng Xue reminded with a smile.
In the Liangyan Dynasty, cousins could get married, but since she was a medical student, she still paid great attention to this aspect.
Guan didn't understand the true meaning of her words, but she also understood that it was not appropriate for everyone in the village to get married. Otherwise, forming cliques would not be very good to her husband. Moreover, the village was directly under the jurisdiction of the government, so there would be less trouble.
"Don't worry, madam. The father of the child has already sent all the boys and girls of the right age in the village to the official matchmaker in the yamen. If there are suitable ones who come to marry us, we will consider it. I don't like that the village is full of relatives.
, if his father is still timid in handling this matter, he will be disappointed with the hard work of you and Mr. Li."
Cheng Xue nodded happily, took off the bracelet from her wrist and put it on her hand.
"Oh, this can't be done, no, no, no, no..."
"Take it." Cheng Xue held her hand down to prevent her from refusing, "This is Lifu Yamen, there are many things that I can't take care of, and your man has to help take care of them."
"Yes, yes, you can rest assured, we will handle it clearly."
