Because there are too many hired workers here and workers in the factory, Xiaohu has no way to feast at all, so they can only order the kitchens everywhere to add two more meat dishes to them, which is counted as the intention of the owner.

The people who came here for the banquet today are all their own confidants, relatives and family members. After watching the half-time scene in the morning, everyone started to eat, and after eating the meal, they didn't plan to leave, just waiting for the second half of the play to start after the meal. Only a few people who were anxious to work in the fields hurried back to work after eating.

In the afternoon, two more plays were sung, but the guests who had to leave after dark were pleasantly surprised to hear Daman say that they would have a three-day banquet and a three-day big opera, so that the old people had enjoyed the play. Except for the grandfather who couldn't sit for too long, there was no way to cheer, and the other old men and old ladies all praised Daman and Xiaohu without hesitation.

Guests were invited here, and Erya and Wu Tong also came out to make a scene, thanking everyone for coming, and then nested in Daman's house. Qingzhu and Wen Chao had to accompany them every day, and then they had to let the old grandfathers, old ladies, aunts and aunts have to comment on the flowers. Then they used them to compare, criticize, teach, and develop their future wishes for their children and grandchildren.

The two new science and technology scholars were helplessly faced with fear, dazedness, envy, admiration, admiration, and longing, and they were even shy. Not! It's the kind of person with a red face, who wants to look at the two jinshi but doesn't dare to look at it in the open, the two small eyes look at it secretly, and when he sees the two jinshi, he immediately lowers his head. Little brother, if you are a girl who is just starting to fall in love, it is easy to understand, what are you so shy about?

The feast came down for three days. But it was tired of the two jinshi. At this time, Wen Chao was not at peace, because his mother finally wanted to discuss the matter of his future wife with him.

"Wen Chao! Now it's time for you to get ready to talk about a family affair! I was very optimistic about the girl of the Chen family before, but the shopkeeper Chen also said it. If you get into the jinshi, I'm afraid you don't need to mention it. I don't know what concerns the shopkeeper Chen has to say this, but I want to ask you first, what do you think of the Chen girl? If you really want to marry someone else's girl, I will personally ask the shopkeeper Chen what concerns he has, and when he makes it clear, we can also prescribe the right medicine. If. Shopkeeper Chen is bent on opposing, then we have to be with others, but don't wait until Qingzhu's son can make soy sauce. You're still happily single. ”

Wen Chao couldn't cry or laugh at his mother's words, and shouted in a long voice: "Mother! ”

"It's so ugly, let's talk about it! What do you think of the Chen family? ”

Wen Chao didn't make a shy expression, but only whispered: "She's okay!" You can get along with it. If only Grandpa Chen could respond! ”

"Hmmm! I also think the Chen family girl is okay. It's good to know. There's no such thing as a troublemaker. The most important thing is that I have secretly noticed for a long time that this child does not have that kind of high-flying temperament, nor does he pretend to be clever and stupid, and he still has a generous mind. This alone is enough to be the eldest daughter-in-law of our family, so I have always hoped that this child can be your daughter-in-law. Since you also think that you can get along, then I will find Shopkeeper Chen to make it clear when I go back this time. It would be great to ask him about his concerns. If it doesn't work out, then you give me a clear standard. So that I can go to other houses to see each other according to your standards. ”

Wen Chao replied to his mother: "Mother! You'd better ask the Chen family first! More on that later! ”

The second girl smiled meaningfully, and said in her heart: Stinky boy, I finally blew it up! Before, he was a decent gentleman who was far away from the Chen family's girl, and he almost deceived the old lady.

"Okay! My mother understands what you mean, and when I go back, I will follow you in this matter. ”

Erya took Xiao Wenfan to play with Wu Tong, Qingyun, and Brother Yuan at home, and Xiaohu and Daman took Qingzhu, Wen Chao, and Wen Yue to check their family's various industries. Occasionally, I go to the finance room to draw an account book and let the three boys review it, although the finances are all people from the Finance Department of Hepu Town, and there will be a person from the headquarters to settle it once a quarter, so there is no need to do anything more, but this does not prevent Xiaohu from taking this opportunity to inspect the three children.

After living for half a month, there was still no news about how Qingzhu and Wenchao were arranged, and Erya had the idea of letting Qingzhu and Wenchao go back with them first.

"Daddy! Why don't you let Wen Chao and Qingzhu go back with us, once the above really arranges any position for them, they will be able to run over quickly, what do you say? ”

Although Xiaohu also has a child's heart, he thinks that he will never let go of his daughter-in-law so much. It's just that I didn't expect him to hesitate how to answer, the two children who should spread their wings and fly to the sky that belonged to them, listened to their mother's words, and nodded happily, "Yes, yes, yes!" Anyway, it's waiting here, and we're waiting when we go home, so it's better to go home and wait. ”

Get! How else to answer?! Just go home.

They had been watching the scenery and visiting relatives and friends (and later going to Anzi's for a few days) to rush back, where Xiaolong had already begun his rectification in the area dedicated to the management of exiles.

In the minds of ordinary people, it is believed that exiles should be punished in a place with harsh conditions and difficult living conditions, so that they can better serve their sentences and confess their crimes. Xiaolong, on the other hand, thinks that the exiles should be provided with a better living environment and conditions, and that the real meaning of their prison sentences lies in working in vain. Working hard for nothing, is what a person can suffer to the point of reluctance to die and unbearable survival. This mental torment is a hundred times more painful than physical torment. Therefore, he intends to use the funds originally budgeted in this regard to improve the living conditions and productive environment of the exiles.

At present, there are two major items: one is to dig dark rivers and build nullahs, so as to improve the backward production situation in the exile area, which can only rely on manual irrigation with water.

The second thing is to build a house, so that every first-class person can live well, at least there will be no more people who freeze to death.

The renovation of the penal colony is even more cost-effective, and these exiles are free labor. Adults and children have suitable work to do, and after a few days of work, these exiles are waiting for the stewards to choose to work on the construction site. Although they only worked for a few days, they found a pattern, and the prefect would give them three meals a day, and they would eat all meals. I will also give meat dishes once every three days, and I will eat it well. This is a good meal that they never dreamed of, especially those half-sized lads who are growing up and can't eat enough.

There are also Zhao Chiefs and his family who have received preferential treatment from the chief in charge of exile because of Xiaohu's visit. Because Leader Zhao didn't have the opportunity to see the prefect and those stewards, he didn't know the kinship between Xiaohu and the prefect.

In the end, what he knew was because his youngest son recognized the two young men who had been the door gods for them in the first place.

There is no light to illuminate at night in their house, and they usually go to bed as soon as it gets dark, but today the two children pulled him to talk secretly, and the youngest son told his father very excitedly: "Dad! The Uncle Wang who came to see you before is probably the prefect! ”

Leader Zhao was happy when he heard this: "What about daydreaming? Dad told you very clearly that he is definitely not a prefect! ”

Unexpectedly, his eldest son also said, "Dad! My brother is right! We all saw the two uncles who came to our house with Uncle Wang and helped us get rid of the gangsters. They are all in charge, one person is in charge of more than a hundred people, and even the soldier who is in charge of us is in front of them! ”

Leader Zhao still didn't believe that Xiaohu was the prefect, but he quickly thought of the famous Hepu Town School that he had heard about before he was exiled. He also knew that it was Xiaohu's school, maybe this prefect came out of that school, and he heard that the school could get a lot of jinshi in one exam, and it was not unusual to get out of a prefect.

Once you have a conjecture in your heart, you will wholeheartedly want to be confirmed. Leader Zhao is no exception, although he has the opportunity to be selected to work every time, but he is engaged in building houses, and he prefers to be able to dig the land of the dark river, because he heard that the prefect and the master of the workshop will check the safety situation there every day, and the steward who he and his two sons know is also supervising the work there.

Originally, I wanted my two sons to find a chance to ask, but I heard my son say that those stewards are very strict and never say anything unrelated to work to the people who work below.

"Hey! Well, since they are all from the government, they are good for us. Now I know why the chief who is in charge of us is watching over us everywhere. "Leader Zhao said to his two sons to give up! He actually thought that he was still guilty, even if the prefect was really from the Xiaohu brothers' family, what could he do? Ay!

Just when Leader Zhao gave up confirming whether the prefect had anything to do with Xiaohu, he suddenly had the opportunity to see the prefect up close. It was also the time when they were working that day, when the prefect came to inspect the site where they were building their house. At that time, he saw it from a distance and thought it was Xiaohu! I was still surprised, I couldn't imagine that this little tiger brother was really the prefect! Immediately reacted, the little tiger brothers are not so young, it seems that these eight or nine are not far from ten, it is the younger brother or nephew of the little tiger brothers. With this excitement, he enjoyed the feeling of his heart beating like thunder. Although he was excited and excited, he especially wanted to ask if this prefect was Xiaohu's younger brother or nephew, but he also knew his identity and would not allow him to come closer. However, there was no need for him to ask, someone had already confirmed it for him.

"Oops! Lord Wang, how did you get here? It's such a mess here! "Listening to the chief steward in charge of the construction site when he saw the prefect, he shouted from afar, Leader Zhao knew that the prefect's surname was indeed Wang, and it seemed that he was really a relative of the Xiaohu brothers.

"Hahaha!" He laughed wildly in his heart, he couldn't imagine that he, a rough man who was nothing in the eyes of his family, had actually made a brother from an official family, and he was a young and promising brother from a big official family. (To be continued.) )
