The coughing suddenly stopped, as if someone had been pressed back.

The middle-aged man's arched spine like a shrimp slowly straightened, he raised his eyes to look at the resoluteness on his daughter's face, and did not have the slightest intention of stopping it, but patted the other party's shoulder and said:

"Okay, if you want to try it, then go take a test! You were enlightened by your father himself, and your father believes in your abilities. ”

The middle-aged man with pale lips said this with a smile, his face was red from the violent cough just now, but the feeling of sickness and weakness in the whole person was something anyone could see.

The young girl nodded heavily at her father, and then carefully helped the man into the house.

At this moment, it is time for middle-aged people to drink medicine again.

At the same time, at a certain house at the end of Shuijing Alley, Ah Miao had just run out to listen to the excitement, and was about to sneak home now, lest her father and mother find out that she was lazy and not working.

But Ah Miao's luck was really bad, as soon as her front foot got into the yard, her right ear on her back foot was pinched by a hand and twisted around.

Ah Miao screamed in pain, raised his eyes and saw that his own aunt's slightly narrowed eyes were met: "Where are you going crazy again?" Didn't you say that you should stay at home obediently, feed the chickens, and wash the clothes? When I came back, the yard was full of, and the dirty clothes at home were not touched. Do you take your mother's words as a deaf ear? ”

As she spoke, the strength under Ah Miao Niang's hand became heavier.

"It hurts, it hurts, don't screw it, if you screw it again, my whole ear will fall off!" Ah Miao instantly screamed even louder.

But Ah Miao Niang didn't mean to let go at all, and she had to ask her daughter to give an explanation today.

Ah Miao was helpless, so he could only speak: "Ah Niang, didn't you hear the news outside?" We have a female magistrate in Nanyi City, and they not only have to rebuild the county government, but also elect officials in the county! ”

"The official position she gave is not small, if she is lucky, she is really selected by the female magistrate county, at least she is a nine-grade official!"

Ah Miao said happily, Ah Miao Niang snorted lightly when she heard this, and finally let go of her ears with great compassion: "What are you asking about these for?" What does it have to do with you what officials people choose, you run around outside all day long, and you don't know how to do more for me. You ask so much news, can you eat it? ”

"Of course you can eat it!" Ah Miao said loudly, "I inquired about this news because I also want to participate in the election of officials!" ”

"Elector, just you?" Ah Miao Niang looked her daughter up and down, her eyes swept over the other party's crooked bun and her dirty skirt corners.

Ah Miao Niang didn't want to say more, but said: "Okay, stop daydreaming, quickly clean this yard, and then go wash the clothes." I'm going to cook, and your dad will be back soon." If you see that there is no food at home, and you have not done any work, watch your skin! ”

After she finished speaking, she was about to go to the kitchen, without giving Miao the slightest intention to continue talking.

Her attitude is very obvious, she doesn't believe that her daughter has the ability to be an official at all.

Ah Miao was angry with her mother's attitude, she chased after her mother and asked, "What's wrong with me, I'm smart." The Qi Xiucai at the head of the alley said when he taught me to read with his daughter, I have a bright head, and I can read faster than his daughter, if it is a man, I will either be a jinshi or a lifter in the future! He also said that I can be an official! ”

"I used to be a girl, and I couldn't go to the academy to study, and I couldn't participate in scientific examinations. But now it's different, the female magistrate county magistrate elects officials regardless of gender, only on talent. I won't say anything else, but how much is literate, and can I compare to other people who don't know a single word? ”

"I've heard it all today, those people who don't have a good word in their mouths on weekdays dare to try their luck, why can't I?!"

The more Ah Miao spoke, the more angry he became, and he didn't notice that his mother's eyes had changed because of the sentence "Qi Xiucai" just now.

She turned around sharply and stared at her daughter, her expression was serious and terrifying: "You went to find that surnamed Qi again?" Didn't I tell you many times that you weren't allowed to go, not to go?! ”

Ah Miao was so frightened that she shrunk her neck, if she had changed the past, she would have been obediently showing weakness and saying good things at this moment, but perhaps because of the strong contempt in her mother's tone just now, she had an unprecedented courage.

She looked directly at her mother, and her expression became serious: "I like to read, but you all think I'm a girl, so you won't let me read." Qi Xiu is the only one who is willing to teach me, why can't I go to see him? ”

"Obviously, you and Qi Xiucai had a good relationship with their family in the past, why did you suddenly break up and still don't allow me to play with Qi Miao?"

"Not so many whys, I said no, I said no, don't listen to me?" Ah Miao Niang stared at a pair of eyes, trying to use her power as an elder to make her daughter soft.

But Ah Miao didn't mean to bow his head at all: "I don't understand the twists and turns between you adults, but Qi Xiucai is very good to me and teaches me to read." No matter what you say, I will definitely go to the election of officials, and I still want to be friends with Qi Miao! ”

After saying this, she turned around and ran out of the house.

This is the first time she has rebelled against her parents like this, Ah Miao doesn't know if she will be beaten if she stays any longer, she just wants to leave here for a while, at least for a while before she goes to the election office.

As for where to spend the next two days, Ah Miao looked in the direction of the alley, and she planned to let Qi Miao take her in again.

……

Su Hengyu pinched his eyebrows and put down the official document in his hand for the time being.

The cement factory has basically taken shape, after all, it directly bought a house in the city and directly renovated it, so now as long as the raw materials are enough, the cement factory can start at any time.

In comparison, there are some problems on the side of the stone yard.

There are indeed a lot of stones near Nanyicheng, but the problem is that the texture of the stones here is too hard, and it is not easy to cut them into regular shapes to build the county government.

She thought about it and thought it would be more appropriate to use green bricks.

Nowadays, most of the villages around Nanyicheng are mud houses, and it is rare to see blue brick and large tile houses. Su Hengyu felt that it might be good to open a green brick factory here.

Fortunately, the firing process of the green bricks, the craftsmen she specially brought this time are all knowledgeable, but in this way, the construction process of the county government will be slowed down a little.

Su Hengyu calculated the silver money he could use on hand, and recently the "Hua Xiangrong" in the south and the capital have sent dividends one after another.

She has a lot of money, even if it drags on for a few more months, it won't make a difference.

"In that case, it would be better to build more." She muttered under her breath.

Within two days, there was another notice in front of the notice board, and soon the people of Nanyi County knew about one more thing.

This time, their female magistrate county will not only build a green brick factory, but also recruit people to build roads!
