Chapter 124: You've Done a Good Job Second Update
Gu Huanxi was almost fooled by him, pulled the corners of his mouth, and asked teasingly, "I persuaded you several times before that, but you didn't have an epiphany, why did you suddenly have an epiphany?" β
Xu Huaiyi smiled dryly, "This inspiration is here, and no one can stop it." β
Gu Huanxi glanced at him angrily, "It's the refugees who inspired you, right?" What is there to dare to admit about this? Don't you just sympathize with them, but you can't do anything, so you turn your grief and anger into strength? Heh, you still use me and the child as a shield, you only had the idea of protecting us on the first day? β
Xu Huaiyi opened his mouth and couldn't answer for a while.
Gu Huanxi saw him like this, but her heart softened, what kind of temperament her man was, could she still not know? When she is shrewd, she is really shrewd, and when she is stupid, she eased her tone and said softly, "Do you remember what I told you before, if you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world?" β
Xu Huaiyi nodded and said with a wry smile, "Daughter-in-law, I understand ......"
Gu Huanxi interrupted, "No, you still don't quite understand, because of your professional relationship before, I didn't have you to stop you from doing anything, how you help others solve problems, how to risk to save people, even if you sacrifice your own interests to fulfill others, I didn't say anything, because that's your work, your faith, your goodness, I sometimes get angry with you, but I also care about you, but I don't deny your dedication, even, I'm proud of you, because my husband is a kind hero with faith pursuit......"
Xu Huaiyi was moved when he heard it, and couldn't help but hold her hand, "Rejoice......"
The first time the analysis was so thorough, Gu Huanxi was also a little uncomfortable, smiled at him, and pulled back the topic, "You want to work hard to learn and follow the career, I support it, but you really don't need to put so much pressure on yourself, I worship and respect heroes, but I don't want you to be a hero, because heroes are too tired, and they have to face danger all the time, I am reluctant and afraid, so I don't want you to take the pain of those refugees as your responsibility, in fact, you have done a good job now, you don't care about those refugees, But you have changed the situation of the villagers in Xujia Village, you look over there......"
Xu Huaiyi looked in the direction she was pointing, where the villagers gathered.
Sitting by the stove, some of the villagers really can't stand to lie down and rest, and some whisper and gossip, most of the young descendants talk and laugh, boasting about all kinds of knowledge on the road, the women are busy cooking, their faces are relaxed, no longer worried about the shortage of food, the children are the most carefree, chasing and playing, laughing happily.
Compared with those bleak and desolate refugees in the distance, the spiritual outlook of the people of Xujia Village really does not look like they are fleeing the famine, and it is an exaggeration to say that they are traveling in the mountains and rivers, but it is still credible to say that they have traveled or dragged their families to the capital to join their relatives.
Along the way, although they had worked hard and encountered some troubles, they were all in danger, and even had a few blessings in disguise, all of which were lucky because of Xu Huaiyi.
Gu Huanxi said softly, "You can't help thousands of refugees, but the stability and smoothness of these hundreds of people are brought to them by you, maybe in the future, they will change their fate because of you, this is all your goodness, merit, and faith, you are not alone, you are already doing your best to help the world." β
Xu Huaiyi didn't speak again, silence is better than sound at this time, he put his arms around his daughter-in-law's shoulders and hugged him into his arms, if he has a wife, what more can a husband ask for?
Ah Li, who was sandwiched between his parents, turned his head to look at this, then turned his head to look at that, grinning toothlessly, and smiled brightly.
When the two of them went back with their daughter, dinner had already been prepared, and Wei Ci's craftsmanship, under the guidance of Gu Huanxi, made rapid progress, even if it was a simple ingredient, it could be as good as possible to hold the color, flavor, and flavor.
It's Dr. Jiao, and I've praised it a few times.
Tonight's main dish is a simple version of the four happy balls, the wolf meat is not easy to bite, it tastes hard and the smell is heavy, Gu Huanxi taught Wei Ci, after chopping the wolf meat and lotus root, adding several seasonings, after the balls are formed, they are first fried in oil and then boiled in the soup base, and the finished product is okay.
At least for now, it's a rare delicacy.
After Gu Huanxi tasted one, he praised Wei Ci twice.
Wei Ci's excited little face flushed, and in private, he said to Wei Liang, "Big brother, my wife treats me kindly, never beats and scolds me, and patiently teaches me a lot of things, it is my blessing to follow such a wife, I must serve my wife more attentively in the future......"
Wei Liang was thinking of the scene where Gu Huanxi threw the cup at Steward Yao without saying a word, and when he confronted the mountain bandits a few days ago, the other villagers were more or less afraid and timid, but she looked calm, calm and calm, not at all like a backhouse woman, such a person would only be kind to those who could not threaten them, and when faced with harm, she would definitely be ruthless.
As for teaching things, it's true, the lord's wife is very generous and surprised him, as if he is not aware of his own ability, whoever asks her, she will give her pointers, never hide it, are those things not a secret recipe?
This is different from his previous understanding, and later he figured out that it is not that the things she teaches are not important, but in her opinion, they are not important and do not need to be kept secret, because she has more important housekeeping skills, so she will not be stingy to share some simple and easy to learn.
After the villagers finished eating one after another, they all consciously gathered around to listen to Xu Huaiyi's storytelling, Xu Huaiyi's Journey to the West, and under their urging, they were all about to come to an end.
Master Liao once overheard it, and he was also fascinated, and since then he has been out of control, and he has to come and sit every night, and when Xu Huaiyi finishes speaking, he has to pull him to discuss a few words before he stops.
Tonight was no exception.
Master Liao listened with relish, but after Xu Huaiyi finished speaking and the crowd dispersed, he said in a low voice, "Pingjiang Mansion in front, I look a little weird, tomorrow let's go to inquire first and then talk about the hurry?" β
Xu Huaiyi took a sip of small hanging pear candy, moistened his throat, and asked curiously, "What do you think is weird?" The Li family and the Zhao family, didn't they all enter the city smoothly? β
Master Liao is in his early forties this year, with a belly and a little rich, he stroked his short beard and said meaningfully, "It's because they entered the city smoothly that this thing looks weird." β
Xu Huaiyi reacted and suddenly said "oh".
After Pingjiang Mansion, it will be closer to the capital, if it goes well, it will be there in ten days and eight days, and the closer it is to the capital, it means that there will be a lot less mess, such as mountain bandits, who dares to make trouble at the feet of the Son of Heaven, isn't it waiting to be exterminated?
However, in front of Pingjiang Mansion, it was not so peaceful, with the gradual increase in refugees, the pressure of the prefectures and counties at all levels also followed, and the attitude of officials towards refugees was different, some appeased, some dispersed, and few were willing to help, like Pingjiang Mansion, which opened the door easily, and even fewer.
Because of the confiscation of high entrance fees, this is the biggest oddity.
Xu Huaiyi would not be naΓ―ve to think that the prefect of Pingjiang Mansion was a good and honest official.
