Chapter 186: Balancing Public and Private Interests

Ye Li said with a smile, "My uncle also asks Miss Xia to rest assured that he will not let you suffer." ”

Xia Li's face turned red, and he hurriedly said, "Lord Ye is serious, for the sake of the people of Limin, it is worth it for me to suffer some losses." ”

Ye Li said that he would escort Xia Li back to the village early tomorrow morning, and when he heard that the restaurant was open on the eighth day of the first lunar month, he reassured Xia Li, saying that his uncle had expected the restaurant to open in the next few days, and asked Manager He and Ye Jin to help go there to guard it.

Manager He and Ye Jin guarded it, which was bigger than his ten faces, and Xia Li was relieved.

After Ye Li left, Xia offered to accompany Xia Li back to the village. Xia Li disagreed, if his restaurant was to open, it would be bad to leave no one, and there was a Zhao Niuniu to take care of. She asked Xia and Xia Ju to stay, and she went back with the second family.

She also guessed that Ye Feng's move was a combination of public and private interests. not only let the senior officials go to her house to see the yaw, for the benefit of the people, but also to talk to Xia Li. There are many people in the Dusi Mansion, and there is also a Xia family, they are not good to talk about a man and a woman.

When Dangdang and Xiong Xiang heard that Xia Li was going home, they all shouted at her. Xia Li smiled, "Okay, I'll take you back too." ”

Kuroko didn't want to go back, he was afraid that he would be left in that house again.

Xiong Xiang pointed to the mountains to the east with his little fat palm, meaning that he wanted his mother and brother to go back together.

Xia Li directly refused, "I have to leave tomorrow morning, and I don't have time to look for them." ”

Early in the morning of the seventh day of the sixth month, Xia Li and Zhu Erjia got into the carriage with Dangdang and Xiongxiang, and Ye Li took ten soldiers to protect them.

On the way, Ye Licai quietly told Xia Li that his old lady, uncle, and cousin would accompany the officials of the provincial capital to Tongning County tomorrow. They will stay in the county seat for a night, and go to Xiaowa Village the day after tomorrow, and the uncle will go directly to Xiaowa Village tomorrow to discuss important matters with Miss Xia......

Ye Feng really has both public and private interests. Xia Li was overjoyed, pretending not to see the meaning in Zhu Erjia's eyes.

I had dinner at a post station on the way, rested for a while, and then rushed back, and finally rushed back to the door of Xiaowa Village at the end of the unitary time.

Send them to, Ye Li and the others go to the county seat to rest.

The first thing Xia Li did was to go to the east courtyard to see the vegetable field, half of the green potato seedlings, half of the various vegetables. Because of the lack of potato seeds, only half an acre of land was planted, and the other half acre was planted with some vegetables. On closer inspection, the edges of a few of the carrot leaves have begun to turn yellow. At this time, the potatoes in the soil grow slowly, and when the leaves wither, they stop growing completely.

This is the time to harvest.

Zhu Er smiled, "I was planning to harvest the potatoes in the next few days." Yesterday, Lord Ye sent someone to say that the day after tomorrow the official will come to our house to see the potato, and I will collect it the day after tomorrow. As soon as he said this, he rubbed his hands together with excitement. I didn't expect him to be a minion and show his face in front of the big officials.

Xia Li said with a smile, "The potato is planted very well, I wish Uncle has worked hard." And he gave him two taels of silver.

Zhu Erle accepted it, and gave Xia Li another 180 yuan, which was the money for selling vegetables and vegetables.

Xia Li accepted it and rewarded him with another fifty yuan. The land belongs to one's own, so the money should be collected by oneself. I wish the second diligent and should reward him again. It's not a lot of money, but it's a good score.

Xia Li went into the upper room to clean up, Zhu Er's family went to the kitchen to make shredded meat noodles, and asked Zhu Cai to go to Xia's house, and asked Xia Zhu to pick up Xia Erhu in the town. Zhu Er father and son have already guessed that Xia Li will go home today, and they also bought meat at home.

As soon as Xia Li was about to eat, Xia Laohan and Mrs. Xia came. Rhubarb flicked his tail and followed, and he jumped to his feet in excitement when he saw Dangdang and the bear.

The appearance of the old man frightened Xia Li, he was very thin, much older, full of white hair, and very thin. The old lady didn't change much, but her expression was sluggish. The old lady took the blame for herself, and Xia Li couldn't sympathize, but she still had feelings for the old man.

She hurriedly took a few steps forward to support the old man, and said distressedly, "Grandpa, everything has to be ......."

Xia Laohan shook his head and sighed, "When I die, I will think about everything." ”

Xia Li helped him to sit on a chair and said the truth, "Look at what my grandfather said, you are gone, who is the town at home?" Do you rest assured of this big family? ”

The old man said, "I just can't rest assured that those good sons and grandsons are reluctant to kick my legs." ”

The old lady was much more honest, and did not dare to say more, so she sat down in the chair by herself. Her left arm was still not well, hanging diagonally from her chest.

This time I was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to go shopping on the street, so I only brought two packs of snacks and a bottle of sherbet to the old couple, and another ginseng for the old man, a pound of three notoginseng. These two tonics were bought in the pharmacy and prepared to be brought back by the old man.

Xia Laohan smiled with a chrysanthemum on his face and said, "I have also eaten the tonic that only rich people eat." Good boy, grandpa remembers your love affair with your mother. ”

Xia Li didn't send anything to the old lady, and the two supplements were said to be bought for the old man, and the old lady didn't dare to pick on it.

Xia Li was afraid that the old couple would take it out to show off, so she didn't dare to say that the provincial officials were going to come to the house, but only said that the family was going to harvest the potato, so she went home to take a look. Wait until tomorrow night to tell them the truth, she also needs Li's family, Dani and Erni to come to the house to help, and find a chance to talk to Erni alone.

Xia Laohan said again, "You have a good relationship with your third uncle, and you can also help us persuade him, don't be angry with your family." I have already taught the old woman a lesson, and she will never dare to go out and be foolish again. I want Shanzi to let him go home and see us without anything. ”

Mrs. Xia wiped away her tears again and said, "I didn't expect those people to spread nonsense, my son, how could I be willing to harm him." The Li family is partial to hearing and believing that they are unwilling to marry their daughter to him, what can I do......"

Xia Li couldn't talk about the affairs between the elders, so he only said, "My third uncle is busy with official business, and we haven't even seen him these days......"

As he was talking, he heard Xia Erhu's loud voice, "Sister Li, why did you come back to see me?" His voice was a little choked.

With the sound of footsteps, Xia Erhu ran in, followed by Xia Zhu.

The little boy was wearing a silk robe made for him by Xia Li, with white teeth and red lips, tied with horns, and his long hair hung down naturally, he was really a beautiful little scholar, not at all like the men and bears and leopards of the Xia family.

Both the original owner and Xia Li like this little cousin.

Xia Li held the face of the second tiger in both hands and smiled, "The second tiger has grown taller and more handsome." He asked him some more academic questions.

Xia Erhu answered them one by one.

Xia Li brought the most things to Erhu this time, and it was also the best, Ye Feng's ancestors and Liu Changzhao sent Xia Ju two books, two pens and a pen holder, and two sets of longer silk gowns, which Xia Li and Zhu Erjia did when they had nothing to do.
