Chapter 212: How can it be justified

After his body was completely healed, Xiao Jing embarked on the journey back home. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

As Lu Shanshan said, he did not leave any sequelae; Jumping up, the body is as light as ever.

It's a pity that the two teeth on his left side can never be recovered. However, in this era, there was already a technology for dental prosthesis, and it is a big deal that in the future, it will be possible to make do with dentures made of sandalwood or cow bone.

Ten days later, Xiao Jing rushed back to Puhua Town.

Counting the time he spent in Toyozhou, he traveled for four months. When I set out, it was still April on earth outside; When I returned, it was late summer and early autumn, and even the cicadas in the trees were screaming weakly, as if they were protesting the arrival of autumn.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the newspaper office, Xiao Jing suddenly called the coachman to stop the car with a childlike heart. Jumping out of the car, he sneakily felt in the direction of the newspaper office, and he didn't know what the idea was in his heart.

Turning the last corner, he froze.

Am I on the wrong path?

Xiao Jing looked around and scratched his head: That's right, isn't the newspaper office here? None of the neighbors have changed!

However, the newspaper is indeed different.

The original south wall was torn down and replaced with three inverted rooms. Like all courtyards that enter, a gate was opened in the southeast corner of the courtyard for people to enter and exit.

Xiao Jing touched his head. I haven't been able to do the transformation for a long time, but I let Xiaoya do it well!

What he cared about most was not the renovation of the yard, but the man standing outside the door. He looked around vigilantly, feeling that it was a very professional nurse, and Xiao Jing, who kept probing his brain, was glared at by him.

Just as he coughed lightly and was about to come forward to report his door, a man came out of the courtyard with a curse. Behind him, followed by Dong Xiaoya, who looked apologetic.

The moment he saw Xiaoya, Xiao Jing really put down a hanging heart: It turns out that this is still the territory of the newspaper!

"Sorry for making your trip in vain." Dong Xiaoya smiled and said, "What you said really embarrassed the slave family. President Xiao should be back soon, so why don't you discuss it with him then? ”

The man snorted and said impatiently: "This is a matter of the government, I hope your president will not be perfunctory." ”

Seeing that his attitude was not very good, the man guarding on the side glanced at him coldly. The impatient one immediately closed his mouth and ran away, not even daring to say a word.

He's wearing a soapy coat?

Xiao Jing's heart struck. What happened during the time I wasn't there, I didn't see Xiaoya mention it in the letter? Why is it inexplicable that someone from the government came to the door?

When he was still pondering, Dong Xiaoya had already walked into the courtyard. He didn't want to be handsome anymore, he walked quickly to the courtyard gate, who knew that he was still five steps away from the door, and a thick arm blocked his way: "This son, who are you looking for?" ”

It's good now, when I return to my home, I will be asked who I am looking for!

"I'm looking for Xiaoya." Xiao Jing, who was in a hurry to enter the hospital and didn't think at all, said: "Okay, let me go quickly!" ”

He was still moving forward, but they were still holding him back, refusing to let him take a step forward.

What's going on here? Could it be that my family really hired security personnel?

Xiao Jing, who was very discouraged, stopped at this time. The strong man in front of him roared in his voice: "Miss Xiaoya, someone is looking for you!" ”

It didn't take long for Dong Xiaoya's shadow to appear in front of the door again. With surprise in her eyes, she covered the cherry mouth with her hand and was stunned for a few seconds, before she blessed her face with joy and said softly: "Childe, you're back!" ”

Xiao Jing, who was very helpless, said "um" and looked at the man in the way.

Dong Xiaoya hurriedly said: "Brother Zhao, this is Xiao Gongzi." You haven't seen it since you just arrived, so I don't blame you for that......"

The man surnamed Zhao hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "The little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, I don't know that President Xiao has arrived, don't blame me." ”

Xiao Jing smiled: "Those who don't know are not guilty." Besides, Brother Zhao is also a conscientious person, with you, the newspaper should be much safer. ”

After the three of them met, Xiao Jing and Dong Xiaoya walked into the courtyard.

"What's going on, when did our family hire a nursing home?" He lowered his voice and said, "Who arranged it, why haven't I heard about it at all?" ”

Dong Xiaoya whispered: "It's the person Shanshan found." As soon as she returned, she took the lead in rebuilding the yard, and the money was also paid by herself. When the house was built, she hired six nurses from outside, and now they live in three rooms to the south. Every day, there are four people on duty inside and outside the courtyard, and two at night. ”

Xiao Jing smiled bitterly and didn't know what to say. Lu Shanshan must have been afraid that Lu Chong's people would come to the door to find trouble, so she made such a thorough defense, right? That's fine, anyway, the newspaper was going to hire a nursing home. Even if there is no Lu Chong, there will be countless pairs of eyes staring at this place in the future, and it doesn't hurt to be cautious.

Dong Xiaoya paused for a moment, and then said, "By the way, Shanshan herself moved in." She also paid for an old mother, saying that she usually helped me with housework. Now the house is full of people, and the house between the west and east chambers also has beds, Shanshan and the old mother live in the west chamber with the slave family, and Xiaoyuan moves to the middle of Gongzi and Xiao Pan......"

She carefully recounted the changes that had taken place in the courtyard, and the more Xiao Jing listened, the more she wondered.

What is Lu Shanshan moving in? Hasn't she always had no fixed place to live, could it be that she was worried about what would happen to the newspaper office, so she decided to take charge herself?

There is someone who can help Xiaoya share the housework, and he is happy to see it. After all, people's energy is limited, and she used to be both a servant and an editor, and it was really difficult for her.

In order to avoid the recurrence of the oolong that "the head of a club was stopped outside" just now, Dong Xiaoya also deliberately took him to meet several nursing homes before returning to the office with him.

Xiao Jing turned around and found that there was no one; According to Xiaoya, the reporters have gone out to interview, and several editors have something to do, so she is the only one at the moment.

The two chatted for a while about the situation in the past few months, and Xiao Jing suddenly asked, "Xiaoya, I saw a man in a soap coat going out outside, or did you send him to the door." Who the hell is he? Is the government coming to us for trouble? ”

Speaking of that person, Dong Xiaoya was also very helpless: "He is a tax collector of the government, and today is the second time he has come to the door." He told the slave family that the mirror newspaper had made a lot of money, and that the money should be taxed, and he was here to pay the tax. ”

Xiao Jing nodded. Sooner or later, anyone who sees a lucrative emerging industry will kick it in. The government only then thought of taxation, which was already very good for the Mirror Newspaper.

He thought for a moment and asked, "What about the tax rate?" ”

Dong Xiaoya whispered two words.

Xiao Jing was furious when he heard this, and he took the case and said, "How can this be true! ”
