Chapter 85

Previous Chapter

When she saw the city gate of Moxian, Song Xiaoyue found for the first time that Moxian was so kind and connotative.

Waiting for the carriage to enter the rather prosperous streets of Moxian County, Yu Jinbao was just like Grandma Liu when she entered the Grand View Garden, everything she saw was fresh, she was curious about everything, and she asked this and that, Song Xiaoyue felt that chatter was also a disease for the first time.

Finally arrived at the gate of the county office, Song Xiaoyue couldn't wait to jump out of the carriage, and suddenly felt that the world was much quieter, and the mood that had been irritable all the way just now also improved.

Helping the old man down from the carriage, Song Xiaoyue went to the county office with a familiar car, and went directly to the person in charge!

When the person in charge saw her, he jumped up as if there were thorns on the chair, stretched out his already long neck and looked behind Song Xiaoyue, and when he didn't see the person who gave him a headache, he breathed a sigh of relief, and pretended to pose in a rather majestic posture, and then sat down majestically, who knew that he had knocked the chair crooked when he jumped up just now, and now he sat down so hard, he didn't aim at the chair at all, but fell a butt pier, and fell on all fours, which stunned Song Xiaoyue and the others, wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and died of embarrassment!

The person in charge was a man who wanted to save face, and Song Xiaoyue didn't dare to step forward to help him rashly, so she could only watch the unlucky old man get up with a dead face, and try his best to prop himself up on the desk, looking like he had fallen his tail bone!

"Ahem, cough, I was rude just now, the chair of the yamen has been in disrepair for a long time, and everyone is smiling!" The person in charge made an excuse in embarrassment, and reluctantly regained some face.

"The adult is really the best parent official in our Mo County, fair and honest, frugal food and clothing, forgetting to sleep and waste food, for the country and the people!" Song Xiaoyue pushed the boat down the river, and then the words of the person in charge lifted the person in charge to a height that had never been reached, and suddenly, the image of the person in charge became taller.

"It should be, it should be!" Song Xiaoyue's sycophant shot was just right, not only relieving the urgent need of the person in charge, but also putting gold on the face of the person in charge.

"Why did Lady Song come to the official office today? If it was a trivial matter, Scribe Sun could call the shots, recently he has been busy with official business, and the official is busy with dizziness, and his physical strength is really not good!"

"Who told you to work harder, but today this matter is not big, and it is not small to say that it is small! But this matter has to be handled properly by you, so Xiaomin can only disturb you, adult!" Although Song Xiaoyue said something flattering, her attitude was neither humble nor arrogant!

"Since that's the case, then Miss Song will talk about it!" Everyone loves to listen to good words, and those in charge are no exception.

Thirty years ago, an unavoidable natural disaster -- a typhoon -- flooded the village's paddy fields and turned them into saline-alkali land, resulting in no harvest. Now, those farmlands have been abandoned for 30 years, overgrown with weeds, and it looks like a wild field! Not long ago.

Coming out of the office, Song Xiaoyue was in a good mood, and felt that Yu Jinbao was not so annoying, and she felt much more pleasing to the eye when she saw everything.

Contrary to Song Xiaoyue's good mood is the old man, the old man's current mood can be described as mixed, he didn't expect that this young girl could think about people's hearts so thoroughly, and a few words can easily play with the head of the county between applause, and in a few words, he helped the small fishing village win a life-saving money, which is not a low means. Look at the age of the little girl is younger than her great-grandson, but when people talk and do things, it is called a drop of water, not to mention that her great-grandson can be compared with the age of the little girl, that is, she is so old, and the courage to see that is not one-tenth of the age of the little girl.

The more the old man thought about it, the more melancholy he became, and the more he thought about it, the more ashamed he became! If he had the ability of one-tenth of the little girl's age, the small fishing village would not have fallen to such a state.

And compared to his great-grandfather's melancholy, Yu Jinbao's thoughts are much simpler! This Uncle Long is really powerful, not only is he not afraid when he sees the county master, but he also bluffs the county master for a moment, no wonder he wants to call him uncle, it turns out that people are so capable! In the future, I can pat him more on the back, maybe he will teach me some skills when he is happy, then I will not be developed?

Song Xiaoyue didn't know that the grandfather and grandson had been thinking so far for such a short time, she happily hugged the shoulders of the grandfather and grandson and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the restaurant for dinner!"

Of course, the big restaurant in Moxian County is the full house, this time it happens to be a meal, the full house is worthy of the name, the upstairs and downstairs are full, but fortunately, the big shopkeeper of the full house knows her, and he is stunned to make an empty table for her.

Greeted the grandfather and grandson who were a little nervous and a little excited, sat down, and handed the menu of the full building to the grandparents and grandchildren to order, but the grandfather and grandson were more amused than the other, one put the menu on his eyes and couldn't see the words on the menu clearly, and the other took the menu backwards but didn't know that he was still there.

Seeing the silly and lovely grandfather and grandson, Song Xiaoyue sighed silently, summoned the shopkeeper, ordered twelve signature dishes in one go, and asked for two jars of twenty-year-old daughter Hong.

The dishes were quickly served one after another, looking at the dazzling table of good dishes, the grandfather and grandson swallowed their saliva in unison, and their eyes were green!

Song Xiaoyue secretly snickered, picked up the chopsticks, and said, "Let's start!"

Before the words fell, I saw two pairs of chopsticks quickly roaming around the dining table, and soon, half of the dishes on those plates were missing. The old man's eating appearance is quite normal, because he is old and his teeth are not good, and the dishes ordered by Song Xiaoyue are basically meat, so it is very difficult to eat. And Yu Jinbao's eating appearance can only be described by the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, the bowl is full of a big bowl, and each hand pulls a chicken leg, two bites here, three bites over there are happy to eat.

Song Xiaoyue and the others just quietly watched the grandparents and grandchildren feasting, not only did they not feel disgusted, but they felt very kind, and gradually, they felt a little sad.

When the grandfather and grandson were having a lot of fun, Song Xiaoyue whispered a few words to Long Bai, and then quietly got up and left!

walked to the front desk, added a few more dishes, and Song Xiaoyue walked out!

About half an hour later, Song Xiaoyue came back, the grandfather and grandson were already full, and they were picking their teeth with toothpicks in contentment, and the dozen or so plates on the dinner table were clean as if they had been licked, clean and slippery!

Coming out of the full building, there were four ox carts pulling goods, a horse-drawn cart, and two large oxen parked at the door.

"Grandpa Yu, I can't accompany you back to the small fishing village this time, these four carts of grain are what I bought for you, there are white rice, brown rice, white flour and mixed noodles, and I will share it with everyone after pulling it back! Grandpa Yu, those paddy fields and dry fields in the village, please arrange for someone to help me pull out the weeds in the field, and pick out the small stones in the field, the wages are twenty yuan a day for both men and women, and I will pay you the wages when I come back from Nan'an City! These two cows and the two sets of tillage tools in the car, when the fields are cleaned up, you will arrange for people to help me turn over the fields, it is best to turn them carefully and thoroughly, Grandpa Yu, please trouble you to be old!" Song Xiaoyue bowed to the old man after speaking, the old man was already very shocked when he looked at the four ox carts full of grain, and later heard that the little girl was old enough to do some farm work, and there was 20 yuan a day for both men and women, this is simply pie in the sky, this little girl's age is simply the big savior of the small fishing village, the big lucky star! Knowing that the small fishing village is now short of three meals, he bought so much food for them, knowing that the small fishing village now has no source of income, and arranged a job for them, which is really a charcoal in the snow! When the old man was talking about God's blessing, he was caught off guard by Song Xiaoyue, and he was so frightened that he quickly pulled Yu Jinbao to kowtow to Song Xiaoyue, and said with some trepidation: "Great benefactor, I can't help it! You are the life-saving benefactor of our small fishing village! If you want to bow, we will bow to you, you can't put the cart before the horse!" At the age of the little girl, you are the reborn parents of our small fishing village, and you have saved the three hundred and eight people in our village! Such a great kindness cannot be repaid in this life and this life!"

Song Xiaoyue saw that the grandfather and grandson knelt down for her for some reason, and she was also anxious, so she quickly knelt down and said, "Grandpa Yu, Jinbao, what are you doing here? Hurry up, otherwise others will laugh at us! If there is anything we have to say, let's get up and talk slowly, okay?"

"Uncle, you will be my own uncle in the future, I will listen to you in the future!" Yu Jinbao swore to the sky seriously, Song Xiaoyue felt a little funny and a little sour, this kid seems to have become mature and sensible in an instant!

Pulled the grandfather and grandson up from the ground, for the gratitude of the grandfather and grandson, Song Xiaoyue was a little ashamed, whether it was in the past life or in this life, she was a real businessman, no matter what she did, in the final analysis, it was for the ultimate benefit, today's matter was also a moment of compassion, she was not as great as the old man thought, so selfless! Alas, ashamed!

"The age of the little girl, we have packed it up! We can go at any time!" the five men ran over panting, led by the man in his fifties.

"Grandpa Yu, let me introduce you, this master is the best boatsmith in our Mo County, Master Wu, and the last four are his apprentices. I asked them to go back to the small fishing village with you and get you a new fishing boat, the old fishing boat is gone, it is too dilapidated, even if it is repaired, it will not be safe to go to sea! I have negotiated the price with Master Wu, and he will build you a large fishing boat that can provide 100 people to go to sea, and it only costs 500 silver for timber and 100 taels of handwork! If you are fast, this new fishing boat will be completed by the end of this year, and you will be able to go to sea before the spring of next year at the latest!" As soon as Song Xiaoyue finished speaking, the old man's dirty old eyes suddenly lit up, and he pulled Yu Jinbao to kneel for Song Xiaoyue again, Song Xiaoyue was prepared this time, and stopped the old man before he knelt.

He took the old man to the side, took out eight silver tickets with a denomination of one hundred taels from his arms, handed them to the old man, and said: "Grandpa Yu, this is the money for the homestead, you have collected it, except for the six hundred taels of fishing boat money, you can share the rest with everyone, or keep it for the village! Everything is entrusted to Grandpa Yu!"

"So much money, I'm afraid I'll lose it! And will this silver ticket get wet and rotten?" The old man didn't dare to take the silver ticket from Song Xiaoyue's hand.

Song Xiaoyue took out a small cowhide bag from her arms, carefully wrapped the silver ticket in a handkerchief, and then carefully put it into the cowhide bag to cover it, tied it several times with a rope, and handed it to the old man, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Yu, now you can rest assured! You put this cowhide bag in your arms and hide it, so that you are not afraid of losing it or getting wet!"

The old man put the cowhide bag into the dark pocket in his arms, but he still felt uneasy, so he pressed his hand tightly on his chest, and then he felt much more at ease!

"Masters, please get into the carriage! Jinbao, Uncle has given you a glorious task, take care of your great-grandfather on the way back, can you do it?" Song Xiaoyue pulled Jinbao, carefully admonished a few words, and took out two boxes of rouge and lipstick from her arms, and whispered: "You take this back to Yinbao and your little sister-in-law, and when I come back from Nan'an City, I will bring you delicious food!" Your great-grandfather has a lot of money in his arms, you have to protect me, don't lose it, that money is the material money and handicraft money for the new fishing boat, you promise to complete this task!"

"I know, Uncle Long! Don't worry, I will resolutely complete the task you arranged! Don't forget, bring me something delicious!" Yu Jinbao promised in a low voice, and reminded Song Xiaoyue in a low voice what he had promised him.

"Grandpa Yu, get in the car! It's far away, go back early, otherwise it's going to be dark!" Song Xiaoyue carefully helped the old man into the carriage, and took a few roast chickens and buns from Long Bai's hand that had just been packed in the passenger building, handed them to Jinbao, and then told the coachman to hurry!

"I can't see it, master, you still have the potential to be a savior, rare, rare!" The old man's carriage had already gone away, and seeing that Song Xiaoyue was still reluctantly waving there, Long Bai teased Song Xiaoyue a few words jokingly.

Song Xiaoyue glanced at Long Bai, and said angrily: "Fuck your uncle! I am still compassionate, the bodhisattva's heart, and shine on all sentient beings! Let's go! The savior is hungry!" After speaking, he took the lead and left!

"As far as you talk a lot, look at what you can, you dare to laugh at the master, you, it's better to ask for more blessings!" Long Ying glanced at Long Bai with hatred, and then sarcastically said a few words to him, and walked away!

"Hey, you guys are waiting for me, is it easy for me as a coachman!" Long Bai looked at the two people who disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye, couldn't help sighing, and resigned himself to the carriage!

By the time Long Bai rushed to the Dragon Mansion in Moxian County with the smell of the two of them, Song Xiaoyue and Long Ying were sitting at the dinner table and feasting, and the food was almost comparable to Yu Jinbao's!

"Hey, you two eat slowly, but leave me a little!" Seeing that the noodles in the pot were about to bottom out, Long Bai suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly stepped forward to protect the pot, and at this time he didn't care about taking the dishes and chopsticks, just like that, he took a big spoon in the pot, and sucked it up, that eating appearance, absolutely amazing!

"Ouch, kids, what's the matter? Why are you so hungry? Eat slowly, don't choke, there's still something here!" Yang walked over and felt unbelievable when he saw that there was not even a drop of noodle soup left in the big pot of noodles that had just been served!

Song Xiaoyue picked up the bowl and sucked the last bite of noodles in, then wiped the corners of her mouth with her hand, and said, "Mother, you go and get us some food, we have to hurry later, there are some things that have delayed the trip in the past two days, we have to leave quickly after eating!"

"You kid, you've been talking about it for a long time, and my mother still doesn't know where you're going?" Yang nodded Song Xiaoyue's little head melon seeds lovingly, and said with some disgust.

"Yes, I don't seem to have told you, I'm going to Nan'an City to do something, we set off from home early yesterday morning, I didn't want to encounter something on the road, so I turned back and dealt with it!" Song Xiaoyue patted her head, she was busy these days, her brain was a little short-circuited, and she often lost everything.

"Are you going to Nan'an City? Then I'll steam some steamed buns for you and take them to eat on the road!Hey, Yue'er, you just said that you encountered something on the road, what happened? Could it be that you met a bad guy?" Yang frowned after speaking, looking very worried.

"It's nothing, it's all a trivial matter, it's not worth mentioning at all, mother, you don't worry about me, the bad guy is unlucky when he meets me. Song Xiaoyue waved her hand, looking like an understatement, and the clouds were light and breezy.

For her mother's materiality, Song Xiaoyue still admires it. It is said that a woman's sixth sense is super accurate, but it turns out that this is not groundless, but a woman's innate special function.

"Little beauty, why don't you ignore me?" Song Xiaoyue picked up the pointed chin of the dragon shadow with her fingers, the dragon shadow is actually quite beautiful, her beauty is like a quiet orchid in the empty valley, cold and elegant, but she usually shows people in black, giving people an illusion that no one is close.

"Hmph" Long Ying proudly pinned his little face to the other side, completely treating Song Xiaoyue as air.

Ah, when did I provoke her? No! Probably not! Wait, I think about it, she wasn't angry when we ate noodles together just now, and there was no conflict later! What kind of anger did she have in this life? Could it be that she couldn't ......

"Mother, this is the jade hairpin I bought for you a few days ago, I'll plug it in for you!" Song Xiaoyue saw that her mother was simply pulling her hair in a bun today, and she didn't wear any jewelry, so she remembered the jewelry she bought a few days ago, so she took it out of the space with her mind and inserted it into the bun on the back of her mother's head.
