Chapter 221 Countermeasures (2)
This meal was lively and deserted, the lively thing was that Zhixing ate all the time, and the cold thing was a table of people and two couples, different from the past, but there were very few words. Only Zhixing said a few words from time to time while eating, most of them talked about a few landforms and landscapes in Yu County, which were extremely ornamental compared to Song County, and after returning to the spring to unload a heavy burden to Ah Rong, he took the time to go over and take a look.
Spring returns while responding, while adding vegetables. I heard that he had a stomach full of things to say, but he didn't mention his political troubles.
When he finally ate almost, he was still talking about what fruits grew in the mountains of Yu County, and he had already figured out the entire county.
Chun Gui was not thinking about eating, and then put down the bowl at this time.
Chungui sighed, and finally interrupted him with a voice: "This place in Yuxian County is good, that place is good, so how did you lose weight like this." ”
Halfway through Zhixing's words, his expression was a little stunned.
"If I don't ask you, won't you tell you about the troubles at home? Or are you now married and have a small family, so you don't take your sister-in-law seriously? ”
"If it's because you became a family, I don't think you discussed the big and small things with Ruyi, but you caused one or two of them to become like this."
These words of Chungui are quite powerful, and when the previous sentence fell, Zhixing immediately chuckled in his heart, and he was so anxious that he hurriedly shook his head: "...... Sister-in-law, what do you say! ”
"How could I not take you seriously! Even if we move out, aren't we also a family! How can you say so much! ”
He was obviously a little panicked, and subconsciously pulled Ruyi's cuffs a few times to get to the bottom, but unfortunately his lady had already stood in a group with Chungui, and didn't care about his gestures.
Zhixing is a person who is straightforward and casual, can't rub sand in his eyes, and he respects the spring return who supports the whole family step by step with his own strength in this life, and is naturally the most afraid of her questioning and annoyance.
Chungui felt so good in his heart, but if he didn't force him, how could he learn to cry out and be tired.
She gritted her teeth and continued: "You don't have to look at Ruyi, let me ask you, do you still have this home in your eyes, but you still have me?" ”
Zhixing nodded hurriedly: "Yes!" Of course! "After I got down, I kept thinking about what I didn't do well.
He is not a dull person, not to mention that he was already a little confused because of the fact that a few people were waiting for him late at night last night, and after thinking about it repeatedly, Chungui's sentence "Say difficult things home" suddenly flashed in his mind.
remembered that Qi You asked him last night why he didn't tell the story, and everyone thought about it together......
He was stunned in his heart, raised his eyes to look at Chun Gui, and then at Ruyi on his side, the two women he was closest to, in their eyes, they were all distressed by him.
He couldn't help but open his mouth, and subconsciously smiled and argued: "Sister-in-law, I'm really not tired of that, besides, how can there be an official who is not tired, I just haven't thought of a better way to settle these old people now, I can only rely on silver to help, although I run up and down every day, but in the end I just release some silver and take care of it." ”
"The situation in each county is different, since I have been assigned to this Yu County, this is also a matter of no way, I am very happy to be able to work with Qi You, and it is so close to home!"
This character, said that Lotte is also really Lotte, while suffering hardship, and at the same time self-relieving, Chungui doesn't know whether to feel sorry for him or praise him.
Seeing that Chungui had nothing to say, Qi You put down the chopsticks and said with a cold face: "I also asked the master when I helped you ask for leave today, there are more than 400 people in Yu County, nearly 200 of them are quite old and have no support, the previous seven or eight days you distributed silver to take care of me day and night and did not count, only in the future, if you visit five old people in one day, it will take more than 40 days for more than 200 people to return to visit, a full month and a half." And the elderly are inconvenient, you have to pay a return visit every two months, and it will take half a month to deal with the official business that has accumulated in the county for two months. ”
"A month and a half of return visits, half a month of official business, and two months of reincarnation, which means that you will not be able to be autonomous for a day in the future, and you will have to pounce on it all day long, I am wrong."
A series of numbers fell down, and Zhixing was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly calculated according to Qi You's train of thought, which was indeed correct.
Moreover, some old people have a difficult temperament, and he may only be able to visit three or four times a day.
In this way, he is afraid that he will not have a moment of rest in the future, just like these days.
He couldn't help but look at Ruyi, and finally remembered what kind of days he had lived in the past seven or eight days, and what days his wife had spent with him when he married into the door.
"I ......"
He opened his mouth, suddenly at a loss for words.
Qi You ignored the fact that his face had changed, and continued: "What you have done in the past few days, most of the people in the county think that the government has taken on the heavy responsibility of supporting these more than 200 old people......
"I ...... I didn't mean that, I just wanted to solve the dilemma in front of me, it's really pitiful for these old people......" He quickly interrupted, wanting to explain, but Qi You still shook his head.
"For seven or eight days in a row, I sent silver and condolences, think for yourself what signal you gave to the county citizens."
When this sentence fell, Zhixing finally lost his voice, sat in his seat in a daze, and fell into deep thought.
The government and the people are amiable or sparse, but they must grasp a degree, too alienated, the trivial things at the bottom will inevitably be inconsiderate and unpopular, and too close, the county people are too dependent on the government, rely on the heart together, all the big and small things are pressed to the county order, the respect of the county people will be superficial, if the benefit is the best, but if there is any mistake, everyone will be resentful, and they will inevitably be extremely harsh on the government.
Zhixing, the county order, after seven or eight days of doing things, must bow down in person, and sprinkle a lot of silver out, has already achieved the latter. If this is the case, the dependence of the county citizens will become accustomed to it in the long run, and the backbone of the government will also be born in the future.
In this matter, Guo Ruyi's concern as a wife is just a distress, and Chungui, as an elder who cherishes his younger brother, is only willing to quickly come up with a way to solve his predicament, and then break his optimistic nature of reporting good news and not bad news.
And Qi You, as a colleague and friend, saw at a glance that he was too close to the people of Yuxian County, which was such a more important essence.
Zhixing is not dull, and with a slight mention of it, he has a comprehension in his heart.
It's just that he reacted at this moment, and the emotions that he had deliberately suppressed before came up.
After a few days of indifference with his wife, the eldest sister-in-law reported good news and not bad news, and the county order was extremely confused, and he was tired and tired, and he may not be able to get a good result.
For a while, he felt guilty and self-pity, and his face suddenly collapsed.
“…… In fact, the amount of silver that has been sent over the past few days is like a bottomless pit, and I also feel that it is inappropriate. He finally opened his mouth: "It's just that I don't want this matter to disturb you in my heart, I have already started a family, and I am the order of a county, how can I rely on you for good things." ”
"Qi You said that you can't make the county citizens dependent, and I naturally can't ...... it."
"Nonsense!" Chungui immediately frowned: "Talking about difficult things with the family becomes dependent?" What's the matter, you can tell your sister-in-law to make this county order for you?! ”
"Sister-in-law is so that you don't have to press everything, you have a wife who loves you, even if you can't say a few words to you these days, you accompany you every night, you have a sister-in-law who loves you, and you have friends who can make friends, this is your ability, your reliance, and this home is a place where you can rest when you are tired."
"But you don't say anything, let alone take big and small things as things, you think it doesn't matter, but won't we worry when we see it?"
repeated questioning, and all the words that Zhixing still had a lot of shirk were pressed back.
"It's only been a long time since the cave incident, and a person like Qi You, who doesn't say much, is hurt by this incident and knows how to go home, but you carry everything by yourself."
Zhixing hurriedly raised his head, wanting to say that he didn't want to say it deliberately, but he really didn't realize it.
When I realized it, it was time for everyone to pull it out and train it.
As soon as he raised his head, he was glared back by Chunguiyi.
He had no choice but to move towards Ruyi, and subconsciously grabbed her cuffs for comfort.
Guo Ruyi has been suffering for seven or eight days, and she was comforted by Chungui's words, and this is probably what she wants to say in the bottom of her heart, and now this person is really listening.
But when he saw him coming towards him, he couldn't help but soften his heart and let him pull his cuffs.
At this moment, it was almost the same, and after looking at the couple who were close to him, Chungui felt funny in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
"I just hope that you won't encounter difficulties in the future, but if you encounter something that can't be solved, think more about how you still have a home, a group of family members, even if you can't think of any way to deal with it, how much can you share some of the pressure."
"Look at Ruyi, she has lost weight with you for a long time, if you don't say it, she can only worry all day long. I know that you are busy, but although you are busy, you husband and wife should also leave a little space between them, do not ask for everything, and a little mention can also reassure each other. ”
These words made him can't help but look to his side, and it seems that his lady is as embarrassed as him.
He was already full of guilt, but at this moment, he was more distressed, which made him feel a little sore in his heart, and he couldn't help but hold Ruyi's hand.
Guo Ruyi was sore by this grip, and her eyes were red, how could she not be wronged, she had never suffered such a torment since she got married.
The two shook hands, and their hearts were indescribable.
Chungui and Qi You glanced at each other with a smile, leaving a gap for them to pause.
It wasn't until Guo Ruyi faded the sourness in his eyes, and Zhixing looked at the two of them embarrassedly, that Chun Gui sighed lightly: "The way of husband and wife is sincerity, and if you can talk about big and small things a little, your days will be more transparent." I don't need to say more about these words, you can naturally understand them. ”
Zhixing had an epiphany at this moment, and immediately nodded after hearing it: "What my sister-in-law said is, I understand!" ”
The awkwardness between the two has been resolved, Zhixing filled a bowl of soup with his own hands, Guo Ruyi looked at him with disgust, and took it in the end.
After a reprimand, the other three finally felt hungry and picked up their chopsticks.
The only well-fed Zhixing consciously started to start, helping to add vegetables and joking and funny.
The meal was also eaten in a satisfactory manner.
After the girl put away the food and the two couples consumed their food under the sun, Zhixing was not as depressed as before, and said directly to Qi You:
"You helped me take two days off, did you come up with a good idea?"
This question, Chungui also reacted: "Yes! I asked you last night, and I didn't have time to hear you talk about it all night, Zhixing is also here, if you have anything to fill in that way, let's think about it together, and try to round it up. ”
At this time, the three of them all looked at Qi You.
Although Zhixing opened his mouth, it was best to solve the matter of settling down the widows and orphans in Yu County.
Zhixing was silent for a moment, and finally opened his mouth and said, "...... I thought about it last night. ”
He looked at Zhixing: "Last year, you and I walked around the streets of Kyoto in our spare time, and I saw many Salesian churches built by the government to house children who had no father or mother. ”
"I thought, if the young children can be gathered together to settle together, what about these old people who have no provision for them?"
