After doing this, Tang Que pulled the two of them to the small stove room under the east corridor, and returned the cold dishes to the pot one by one, and then the three of them watched the prosperous charcoal fire in the warm and peaceful room and ate the New Year's dinner lively.

After the New Year's dinner, the drunken three came to the courtyard outside the West Wing, where a small pyre had already been built, and several bundles of green bamboo cut into three feet were placed next to it. Light the fire, and put the green bamboo into it after the flame burns strongly, and then you hear a series of firecrackers exploding, crackling and crisp sound, the original lonely and deserted second courtyard in the strong smell of the New Year is already intoxicating.

After the three of them finished burning the firecrackers, they returned to the house to play on the couch, and when they were tired, they fell asleep, and when Tang Que opened his eyes in the sound of chickens, he saw that it was already bright outside the window. The poisonous widow and Sister Lan crossed their necks left and right, wrapped in the fragrance of his sleep.

The process of getting up is inevitably a panting entanglement of flesh and skin, but the peach stake has not expired, Sister Lan, as a slave, can't take the lead first, only bitter Tang Que was unbearable by the two, and in the end, it was the woman who repeated the old tricks, and helped him solve the emergency with a warm mouth, although he was not really ecstatic, but it was not a moving taste.

In the following days, Tang Que basically lived in the village study, the time in the first month passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the Shangyuan Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month also passed, and the fourth day after the Shangyuan was the first day of the new year, that is, on this day, Tang Que got the news from Liu Lizheng that the county order had left the city.

After the beginning of spring, the weather warms up day by day, and at the same time, the dense spring rain gradually increases. The day the new county magistrate arrived in the village, it was such a dark cloudy, semi-cloudy weather.

The number of the new county commander and his entourage was not large, and the four anti-flag flags sounded the gong to open the way, followed by six accompanying guards, and the main escort was Lin Xuezheng, the county school. In the prosperous era, the county is the general representative of the county's culture and education, and he is accompanied by the meaning of the question.

Loess mat road, Hecun out of the greeting, this is a routine that has been prepared for a long time, when the county order is still far away, with Liu Lizheng's order, the crowd has long prepared the gongs and drums and festive team suddenly made a noisy sound, and so on to the county order adults at the crossing to get off the car and walk, the people on both sides have been under the leadership of Liu Lizheng to bow down and kneel down.

As soon as they bowed down, they made the old master Yan standing on the side of the road and Tang Missing behind him extremely eye-catching.

From the year before the year to the year after the year, the focus of Tang Que's life during this time was to welcome the county commander, but until this moment, he could not see the county commander himself, this is a middle-aged man who is nearly forty years old, medium stature, slightly fat, the whole person is full of the freshness of the Jiangnan water town regardless of appearance and bearing, and it is not annoying to look at.

Tang Que was standing on the side of the road and was looking at the new county magistrate, when he heard a gentle cough beside him, he immediately withdrew his eyes, bent down and picked up the wine that had been prepared long ago from the incense table on his side and handed it to Old Master Yan.

It is a common practice for officials to go to the countryside and to welcome the elderly. Tang Que held the old master Yan and gave the county order three glasses of wine, and after the county order thanked him three times, the mountain people got up, and on this matter, the ceremony of receiving the official on the face was over.

When Tang Que followed the county magistrate to Liu Lizheng's house, he obviously felt that there were many pairs of eyes staring at him on his side and behind him, and if he shook his clothes now, he didn't know how many pairs of eyeballs would fall.

Although Tang Que's involvement in taking over the official has long been known to the whole village after Wang's long mouth, most of the villagers before were still skeptical, can the prodigal boy of his Tang family have the face to participate in the reception of the county magistrate? How fresh is this! That's something that only decent people can do, and within a radius of fifty miles, only Liu Lizheng and Old Master Yan are enough, as for the Tang family boy, ball! It's just that he can't count it, most of it is Wang who has been listening to the wind and rain for many years, and he has never done such a thing anyway.

After Wang Chang's long-term braziness was really staged in front of him, the villagers were full of surprise and all looked at Tang Que, seeing him calmly accompanying the county commander, watching him muttering something to Liu Lizheng from time to time, faintly, the villagers had a vague consciousness: This kid of the Tang family is about to come out!

From Tang Que to his parents, the Tang and Zhang families who were mixed in the crowd have become the focus of attention, the taste of being watched by so many people is really uncomfortable, Tang Zhang's keeps rubbing the corners of his clothes with his hands, and Tang Zhang, who has never stood in front of people in his life, is like being drunk, his face is full of redness, but these two people have unconsciously straightened their waists that have fallen slightly after years of hard work.

A group of people gathered around the county order to Liu Lizheng's house, the wine and food here were prepared a long time ago, just wait for people to start frying and frying as soon as they arrived, taking advantage of the interval before the banquet, Liu Lizheng first reported the local affairs, and then the old master Yan said about the affairs of the village school, with the identity of Tang Que, at this moment can not get in front of people. What he did was to supervise the serving of tea and cloth noodles.

The significance of this inspection of the new county order is more to understand the local situation, and also to let the local people meet him, the new chief official, since he came with this purpose, he naturally will not deliberately embarrass the below. When reporting on the work here, he listened with a smile, and finally had some warm words of encouragement, and the whole atmosphere was really harmonious and harmonious.

The table was properly arranged, everyone went to the table to eat, and when the wine passed three rounds, I saw an errand officer who came with him walking in with a bitter face, saying that under the continuous rush, the axle of the county lord's car was damaged due to excessive wear, although this is a small fault, but because there is no craftsman in the village, it will inevitably take more time to repair, even if you are in a hurry, you will have to leave tomorrow morning to go to the next mile.

Hearing this, Tang Que, who was directing the cooking on the stove, smiled heartily with Liu Lizheng, who glanced over, and then, Liu Lizheng and Old Master Yan naturally persuaded Yin Yin to stay, and the matter had come to this, and the county commander could only "gladly" obey his fate.

The work has been reported, and I can't walk and walk, and the time after eating is a little boring, and a few people can't sit opposite each other, so Master Yan proposed that everyone climb the mountain pavilion together and watch the mountain scenery.

After the group hugged the county magistrate out of Liu's house, they went to the small mountain pavilion on the western slope of the village, and when they passed through the verdant bamboo forest along the way, a light rain happened to fall in the sky.

I was going to climb the mountain, but I was catching up with the light rain, and seeing that the county magistrate was happy, Liu Lizheng, who had a gloomy face, stopped at his feet and whispered to Tang Que who came up: "What should I do?" ”。
