By the next day, in addition to knowing that the promising Zhang Ye and Gao Si were not there, the lives of the rest of the Gao family and the Gui family were on the right track. Man Qing spent a morning tidying up the yard and another afternoon tidying up the vegetable garden, and the Gao family was neatly organized. She worked, Aunt Zhou was not well considered, so she moved a chair to bask in the sun under the tree in the front yard, and the door of the main room was not closed, it was opened widely, and he also took a few books, moved a chair, and read a book at the stone table in the front yard.

Oh, and when he got up in the morning, he fed the chickens and ducks, and roughly cleaned the yard.

Man Qing looked at him several times when he was cleaning in the yard, thinking that this person still had growth—as long as he had growth, he didn't want him to become more capable of caring for his family all of a sudden.

It's Aunt Zhou, in order to let her rest and bask in the sun, Manqing didn't bother to speak. If she hadn't come up with the excuse of "if she is not in good health, I won't take her to the county next time", I'm afraid Aunt Zhou wouldn't be able to sit still.

The Gui family is also busy at this time. Now that he has returned to the old house, the family's fields have been sorted out and they have begun to be cultivated in batches. Turnips grow turnips, vegetables grow vegetables - next year they are going to open a small restaurant, but they want a lot of vegetables.

If it doesn't rain, you have to water, and when the seedlings emerge, you have to find a way to get rid of insects, and you have to go to the seedlings, and if you don't plant well, you have to plant the next batch......

The farmer is always busy.

No matter how busy they were, one ear was erected in the direction of the county seat on weekdays, anxiously waiting for the news of Zhang Ye and Gao Siliang to come.

In the fourth year of high school, I kept asking people to send letters. In the letter, he reported the good news, saying that the recent movements of the county government - there are movements, which means that Lord Sun's side is already acting, that is, Manqing's last action has worked.

Seven days later, Gao Siliang sent a message, saying that his friend who was the head of the cell had said that in a few days there would be a new official from the county government, and that he would be able to give a heavy sentence at that time; after seven days, Gao Siliang sent a letter saying that there were many officials in the county, and it was said that they had all come from the government office, and that the case was going on in full swing recently, and that this matter was being discussed in many streets and alleys in the county seat.

In this way, it has been almost a month since Manqing and their return from the county seat. The news is getting better, but they are also more nervous, not knowing when the dust will fall.

After waiting for another six or seven days, just after the winter solstice, the climate was getting colder and colder, and the sky was getting darker and earlier. Gao Lao Li fed the chickens and ducks early, and was about to put the chickens and ducks in the cage, busy with a group of livestock, when suddenly a familiar voice came from the gate, "Manqing! Is Manqing at home?"

At this time, Man Qing and Aunt Zhou were busy working in the kitchen, and when they heard the voice, both of them were shocked, and quickly put down the work in their hands and ran out, "Four taels, why are you back?!"

As soon as Aunt Zhou's loud voice shouted, the Gui family next door also heard it, and immediately moved.

Man Qing was also surprised, and hurriedly looked behind him, but she didn't see the person she wanted to see when she looked left and right, and her heart rose again!

The senior year of high school came back on horseback, basically riding back from the county seat in one breath, and that breath was almost scattered at the door of the house, and he was a little out of breath, just at this time the Gui family also went this way, he simply took a breath and shouted to Aunt Zhou: "Aunt Zhou, give me some water, my throat is about to smoke!"

Everyone was busy, and when he could speak, the people from the Gao family and the Gui family arrived, "Great news! The boss has been released!"

Osmanthus came to his side, and kept stroking his back, so as not to choke on drinking water, and when he heard such good news, he couldn't help but feel strong, "What about that person? Why didn't you see it?"

Gao Siliang was punched by his own lady, and he didn't choke on drinking water, so he pinched her, "You light—— he can't come back! The new county lord said that this matter is a bit big and has not been completely dealt with, so the boss can't leave the county seat yet, and he has to wait for the summons at any time." I'll be back first!"

"Oh—" Everyone let out a long sigh of relief, and then a bunch of questions came out of their mouths.

"Is there anything wrong with that boss?"

"It's okay, the boss is fine!"

"Where does he live now?"

"Where's the guest house!"

"What kind of person is the new county lord?"

"Where is the new county lord?"

"Where did that old guy with the surname Zhang go?"

“……”

Gao Siliang was besieged for a long time before he could explain things clearly. This time, Boss Zhang was really released, but he couldn't leave yet. First, he came back to report the news, second, he hadn't been home for a long time, and he wanted to come back to take a look, and third, and the most important point, was to send Manqing to Boss Zhang.

"The boss said, what Lord Sun has instructed, and Man Qing may still need to go over and talk about it later, so let Man Qing also go to the county seat. ”

Although Gao Siliang was very suspicious that the boss just wanted to be manqing, he deliberately found such a reason, but he didn't know whether it was true or not, he was a follower, so he should do it honestly.

It was getting late, and Man Qing still had a lot to ask, but when she saw the fiery eyes of Gao Siliang and Osmanthus when they looked at each other, she immediately suppressed all the words. Anyway, since I will leave for the county seat tomorrow, I will be able to see him, and it would be better to ask him face to face if there is anything.

That night, the senior returned to Gui's house to reunite, and Man Qing and the others did not go over to join in the fun, but the excitement over there really came: first a few exclamations, Man Qing estimated that it was Osmanthus who said that she was pregnant, and then there was the laughter of the senior two, Aunt Gui's loud reprimand, and other clanging sounds.

It's really a happy family next door.

Early the next morning, the senior came to Gao's house with a spring breeze on his face and took Manqing to the county seat. They went to the town first, and then rented a carriage to go to the county seat.

Because he was in a hurry, Man Qing simply suggested that they all ride horses, so that they could hurry up. The senior two of high school are happy in the clouds at this time, so one is proud of the spring breeze, the other is full of expectations, the two of them rode horses all the way, but in the afternoon, they arrived at the county seat.

Zhang Yezhu's inn is a big inn on the main street, with a front yard and a backyard, a restaurant on the first floor, complete and exquisite. Gao Siliang told the Manqing Fang number, he went to tie the horse first, and came over in a while.

Manqing tried to hold back her excitement and walked to the lobby in three steps and two steps. Seeing that she was in a hurry, the shopkeeper hurriedly came out to stop, "This guest officer, do you want to stay in the hotel or eat?"

"I'm looking for someone, Zhang Gongzi from the second floor of the first floor-" Man Qing couldn't do it, so he hurriedly reported the room number.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately straightened up, "Oh, it's the one who just got out of prison." The doctor just left, and he's still lying inside!"

"Ahh

Pushing open the door, the room was very large, and what caught my eye was a small front hall, with a desk and a table and chairs for the Eight Immortals, as well as a screen—Man Qing didn't have time to look at those, so he almost trotted around the screen, and what caught his eye was the haggard man lying on the bed.

I saw him lying quietly on the bed, his hair and beard sloppy, his face sallow, just showing his neck, you could see that he had lost a lot of weight—and from the time she came in to the time she was almost to the bedside, he was not aware at all......

Man Qing's eyes turned red in an instant, "Brother Zhang?" She didn't believe it, why did the bear-like man from before become emaciated like this?" "Brother Zhang, what's wrong with you?"
