The long queue was like a long line, and people were beaming with satisfaction and anticipation on their faces.

I don't know how much bonus Liu Qingxi can give everyone this year, but thinking about her generosity in the past, it is not much worse than this year.

The person in front of him excitedly walked to the box of money, and the account office responsible for the distribution registered their names one by one, calculating how long they had been working this year and how much bonus they had accordingly.

"Old Wangtou, this is yours, excluding the salary, the bonus is three taels of silver. ”

An old man in his fifties was surprised and delighted, looking at the silver ingots in his hand that were heavy and shiny with silver-white light, and his wrinkled face smiled like a chrysanthemum, and his teeth were gone.

"Thank you, thank you Mrs. Yang, thank you boss!" The whole person smirked, not knowing what to say, the gratitude was overflowing, and there were only two words of thank you left.

"Okay, after receiving it, hurry up and go to the side, the people behind are waiting to receive the money. "In other words, although the account room seems to be a little impatient, with a smile on his face, he looks like he has a good relationship.

The old king was not angry, and took a step to the side at will, and the people behind him took advantage of the situation to the front.

After looking at Lao Wangtou's salary and bonuses, the people behind him were not to mention how happy, they were looking forward to it and nervous.

Lao Wang Tou is not in a hurry to leave after taking the money, but also to see how much others can take and how much he can take.

By contrast, you can set a goal for yourself and continue to work hard next year.

The next reward, some people two taels, some people five taels, it is possible to get ten taels or twenty taels to do the management, suddenly, for the sake of rich rewards, in order to be able to do it for a long time, and even people with great ambitions, have decided their goals for next year.

The scene was as lively as the city, and people from the neighborhood also came to see the excitement.

The weather was getting cooler, and Yang Yichen came to Liu Qingxi again, wearing a thick sheepskin cloak on her body, and kept helping her rub her hands to keep warm.

About an hour has passed, and the wages here are being distributed in an orderly manner, and there is no need for them to continue to stay, Liu Qingxi will probably explain.

"This year, many people in our construction team are from Shilipu, and they all want to go home for the New Year, but our project has been carried out until now, and we need to leave some people here to guard, and we also need to be on duty during the New Year. ”

Suddenly, the men screamed, Liu Qingxi's decision meant that they could also work and receive wages in winter, instead of hibernation like animals in winter as in previous years.

"Thank you, boss!" Liu Qingxi walked a long way away, and he could still hear the deafening sound behind him.

But seeing that the big guy is so happy, she is in a good mood herself.

Since Yang Yichen resigned from his official position, all the focus of his life has been on Liu Qingxi, and he is happy because she is happy.

For example, today, Liu Qingxi was inconvenient because of pregnancy, even if she didn't come, it was nothing, but she wanted to come, saying that the big guy had been busy for a year, and she couldn't even see the boss in the end.

However, it turns out that Liu Qingxi's trip is indeed not in vain, just by looking at the attitudes of the people below, you can know that the current Liu Qingxi is like a god-like existence in their hearts.

"Is it cold?" Yang Yichen held Liu Qingxi's little hand tightly with both hands and asked gently.

"It's not cold, you see how thick I wear?"

However, Yang Yichen was not at ease, for fear of freezing.

The body of pregnancy is different from usual, even ordinary wind chill and fever are big problems, and you can't use medicine casually.

So Yang Yichen is cautious, this is the first child he has lived in two lifetimes, flesh and blood related to his flesh and blood, think about the cute little baby, farts and barts behind him called daddy, his eyebrows and eyes are flying.

Under Yang Yichen's command, the carriage slowly moved forward and drove into Fenglin Lane.

Wen waited in front of the door early, and when he saw the two people coming back, he hurriedly greeted him: "You two children, you have to go if you don't let you go, what if something goes wrong?"

Although he complained, he cared for it.

The current Liu Qingxi, in the Yang family, is a Lafayette-level treatment, up and down, old and young, masters and servants, all of them are loved like treasures.

Liu Qingxi's eyebrows and eyes are crooked, he is in a very good mood, looking at such a big family, he feels a strong family affection, and there is a kind of quiet time, hoping that time will go on and never change.

Now, the four-month-old belly has begun to show her pregnancy, and when she walks, someone must follow her, although there is no freedom, but there is a strong concern in it, and she has not yet felt so upset.

On the contrary, I enjoy it very much, so ah, there are so many people in the family, understand each other and understand each other, and it's no wonder that I'm unhappy.

In the evening, just after dinner, Zhang Wuliang, Liu Laosi and others came to visit and explain their intentions.

"Qingxi, this year, our project has been carried out so far, and it is also very successful, but everyone has been away from home for so long, and it is almost winter, and there are two or three months to do work, so we want to go back while it is not too cold now, and it is not yet freezing.

Come back after the New Year, don't delay us to go to work after the New Year, what do you think?"

Liu Qingxi naturally thought of this question for a long time, no matter what, the homeland is difficult to leave, and it is understandable that he is homesick, and besides, he can't do anything else in the capital for such a long time.

"Okay, I support you to go back, that is, you must be careful on the road, don't be too anxious, safety first. "After all, this era is not like the previous life, thousands of miles, trains, high-speed rail, airplanes, but just a matter of hours.

Here, you need to travel for more than half a month, and if you are slower, you will even need to travel for a month.

And the longer you are on the road, the more likely you are to face unknown dangers.

Safety is the most important and difficult problem to overcome, otherwise everyone would not have left the village and walked out easily.

How many precedents for going far away are gone.

But it's okay here, there are a lot of people, most of them are strong men, plus a team of one or two hundred people, and few people dare to come up to find fault.

"By the way, Uncle Village Chief, this year, the big guy has been with me for so long, I have worked hard, I am responsible for your expenses on the road, housing and transportation, and I will give you the money later, and we will also be reimbursed for the travel expenses, food and lodging expenses." ”

At this time, it is impossible for Zhang Wuliang to be unhappy, it is equivalent to coming to the capital to see the world for free, and giving back so much money, who is not happy? Maybe those who don't come will regret it.

However, the happier thing is still to come, out of the subsidy on the road, Liu Qingxi also gave these people two months more wages, which is regarded as their wage subsidy on the road.

This is also the reason why Liu Qingxi considered that they had been on the road for more than a month, had no work, and had no income.

If they don't come to the capital, if they are in Shilipu, they can get these two months' wages.

Besides, the treatment of people in their own village is naturally different from those recruited after coming to the capital.

In terms of seniority alone, the villagers of Shilipu don't know how many levels higher than them, and they should be paid more.

But lest some people have ideas in their hearts, these are not on the surface, and they just need to know what's going on in their hearts.

"Qingxi, you're too polite. ”

"Uncle Village Chief, these are all things I should do, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have to travel long distances, be separated from your loved ones, and you wouldn't have to be afraid on the road, and you could have such a standard of living at home. ”

"So, you can take it for the big guy with peace of mind, and since you are leaving, you should do it as soon as possible, otherwise the colder the weather is, the more difficult it will be to walk, and the heavy snow will be even more difficult to walk. ”

What she said was the truth, and Zhang Wuliang and the others naturally took it into account, no, before he came to the door, he had already greeted the villagers, and those who wanted to bring things and specialties should buy them in advance while they were free.

So now, your bags are ready and ready to go.

"Then we'll leave tomorrow morning, leave a day earlier and arrive home a day earlier. ”

Liu Qingxi nodded, although he was a little reluctant in his heart, he also understood the normal feelings of people, and was also ready to make more thoughtful arrangements for their safety.

The next day, at dawn, in the large courtyard where the villagers lived in Shilipu, everyone was dressed, packed their bags, sorted out the carriage, and prepared to leave for home.

The procession of dozens of horse-drawn carriages, which is long and spread across the entire street, can be described as eye-catching.

And last night, several people represented by Zhang Wuliang had already resigned to Liu Qingxi, in order not to disturb the rest of Liu Qingxi, who was pregnant, they were ready to leave directly today

Anyway, I will be back after the year, but it will only be a few months.

However, just as their carriage drove out of the capital, and the sound of wheels was about to leave the capital, a carriage slowly followed out.

Zhang Wuliang, Liu Laosi and others, who were walking in the front, vaguely heard someone shouting Mrs. Yang behind them, what to see him off, and some people shouted at him to stop.

"Woo ~~~~~~" Zhang Wuliang stopped the car and looked back!

Then, he saw Liu Qingxi, dressed in a blue cotton coat and a green cloak, standing behind their long convoy, looking at them with a smile on his face.

Hurriedly got out of the car and trotted all the way over, Zhang Wuliang was excited and concerned: "It's so cold, it's so early, why are you here?"

Zhang's too, nagging and saying: "You kid, you said that you won't let you send it, get up so early, what do you want to do, we will only come back in two or three months, Yang Yichen, you too, don't say take a good look at her." ”

Liu Qingxi is also very helpless, now that the sky is dawning, after the most difficult period of morning sickness, she doesn't sleep so much now, and she usually gets up at this point in the morning.

But I'm just going to go out today.

I had no choice but to laugh twice, and I almost covered my ears to listen to these nagging.

Finally, the magic sound stopped piercing his ears, and Liu Qingxi was clear, so he had a chance to speak: "Uncle the village chief, fourth uncle and fourth aunt, I found a few people with better kung fu, this time they will go back with you, and they will also be in Shilipu during the New Year, and when they come back after the New Year, they will also be responsible for protecting you." ”

Only then can she rest assured.

After all, there are too many unknown dangers on the road, and the thieves are not like storytellers listening to stories, but they really exist.

And once encountered, the villagers who have no kung fu can only be robbed.

Asking Yang Yichen to send a few people with kung fu is just a gesture.

In this regard, Zhang Wuliang did not shirk and took a few people on the road with peace of mind.

Liu Qingxi didn't turn around and go back to Beijing until he couldn't see the shadow of their carriage.

And sending away this large group of lovely people, their ears suddenly cleared up, and it seemed that there were a few of them left in the capital.

It's just that compared to previous years, this year's mood is completely different.

At that time, both husband and wife had a certain utilitarian heart, such as Yang Yichen wanted to go further in the officialdom and wanted to have power to protect his family.

Liu Qingxi wants to rely on his own ability to carry forward his power and promote his ideas.

But this year, in the face of a series of difficulties and setbacks, and experiencing the pain of separation, I have seen a lot less and seen through a lot.

At the moment, their state of mind is very peaceful, with a kind of mindset of going with the flow, not forced, only doing what they should do.

On the contrary, with such a state of mind, there will be unexpected gains.

For example, the officialdom that has been abandoned, they have a lot fewer enemies, and those who have malicious intentions towards Liu Qingxi because of jealousy or other mentalities have no excuses and reasons.

Far from those vanity and wrongful snakes, their lives are more colorful.

Perhaps for Yang Yichen and Liu Qingxi, who are less than twenty years old, they are too indifferent.

But only they know that what they have experienced is more colorful than anyone else, and they have all suffered frustrations and hardships.

In the palace, for two months in a row, in order to deal with a series of troubles, Dugu Hao did not sleep well.

He knew that this was Yang Yichen's revenge on him.

Helplessly smiled bitterly, what could he do? Can he be ruthless enough to dispose of those two people?

The answer is no!

When he let go of Liu Qingxi and Yang Yichen from the palace, he knew that he had lost, lost to love, lost to Liu Qingxi, and completely lost to Yang Yichen.

But what can be done then?

People can't always live for fame and fortune and power all the time in their lives, they always have to make choices at will.

Perhaps in Liu Qingxi's matter, he lost his mind for the first and only time, choosing the former between emotion and reason.

Not in the future, there will be no more women who can make him do this.

For Liu Qingxi's emotions, he can only silently put it in his heart, watching her happiness from a distance, which is also his happiness.

Moreover, he has lost the qualification for fair play.

Sitting in this position means that many things don't go your way.

In order to solve the problem of external worries, there were several more women in the harem one after another, all of whom could help him stabilize his position and win over the ministers.

There was no emotion, but he had to.

Among the emperors of the past dynasties, he thought that he was an exception, different from Dugu Khan, except for the woman he loved, he would not have any other women, and he would not let his women follow the old path of the queen mother.

However, he was wrong!

It turned out that the heart was only tempted for a moment.

The person who makes his heart move has spent his life hand in hand with others.

So, what difference does it make who he is with?
