Chapter II

The word rectification seems simple, but in fact it is cumbersome. First of all, every road in the village and every household must be cleaned once, and each family's field must be weeded. Second, demand the demolition of illegal and unsightly structures, such as cattle sheds on the side of roads, dilapidated stables, and filthy pigsties. If it should be repaired, it will be dismantled if it is not repaired. In addition, every house has to be repaired, and it doesn't matter what happens on the inside, as long as the paint on the outside or the wood is rotten, it must be repaired. In the end, everyone has to play various roles when the leader comes, find a group of people to farm, a group of people to graze, a group of people to go to the tavern to drink, and a group of people to go to the pond to make yarn, anyway, to reflect the prosperity and liveliness of the village.

Grandma Qi had been busy at home for a day, she wiped everything that should have been wiped, and swept the courtyard again, and the home looked brand new.

"Yes! Go to the field with grandma to pull weeds!"

"Okay, Ah Huang, let's go!"

"Wow!"

You can have seven acres of land and three acres of land. This is the result of the struggle of Grandpa Qi, handed down from the ancestors. Grandma Qi and Qi can eat what they grow in the field to support themselves, but the two of them can't support so many fields at all, many of them are deserted and full of weeds. The people in the village asked Grandma Qi to sell the land, but Grandma refused to live or die. Qi Ke wondered why his grandmother didn't sell it, it was deserted anyway. Grandma Qi said angrily:

"Little kid, know what!"

Faced with the endless weeds, Ah Huang jumped in and ran around, he could run around with Ah Huang, and Grandma Qi pulled them one by one next to him.

"Yes, yes!" a voice came from behind him.

"Fun!" can be called.

Zhang Xingle is the best playmate since childhood. It is a world friend, from Qi Ke's grandfather Qi Tian and Zhang Xingle's grandfather Zhang Dafo have formed a deep friendship, and their respective fathers are friends of Mo Rebellion. Grandma also said that the Qin family also had a good relationship with the Qi family and the Zhang family, but they were very strange that they had never met anyone from the Qin family. Grandma Qi said that the three families used to live very close, and since the grandfather moved to Xinfu Village, the Zhang family also moved over soon after. However, the Qin family did not move over because some things in the original place were not handled well, and they had contacts with each other in the days that followed. Xingle and can always guess that the Qin family must have a child as old as them, I don't know what it's called, and I don't know what it looks like.

"Let's go catch fish in the river! over there!" Zhang Xingle suggested, pointing to the small river not far away.

"Okay, grandma, let's go play next to it!"

"Stay safe, don't go too far, and grandma will be able to see you!"

"Okay~ Ah Huang, Ah Huang!"

"Wang!" Ah Huang shook his head and ran over.

There was a bridge over the river, and the river was not deep, and the deepest part could not drown the two of them.

"Xingle, do you know how to swim?"

"No!

"Neither will I!"

You can sit on the bridge with Xingle and look at each other, looking at the fish swimming below and then turning their heads and swimming back. As long as it is a living thing, the temptation for a child is too great, but it is not allowed to enter the water. At this time, it was like countless hands touching their chests, and it was extremely itchy.

Xingle found a pile of stones and threw them down, but the power of the stones when they fell into the water suddenly disappeared, and only the water splashed, but there were no dead fish. You can find a pole and stir it directly downward, trying to stun the fish. But as soon as the pole fell into the water, all the fish ran away, and after two strokes, the river was muddy, and nothing could be seen. The two had to sit next to each other in a daze.

"Woo~Wang!" Ah Huang was running after a butterfly.

"By the way, yes! we can let Ah Huang jump into the river and catch it!"

"No, no, I haven't taught Ah Huang to swim, Ah Huang will drown if he jumps in!"

"No, dogs are born to swim, just like this!" Zhang Xingle made a dog swimming pose, "Dog crawling!

"Really?"

"Yes!" Zhang Xingle nodded affirmatively.

"Ah Huang, Ah Huang!"

Ah Huang ran over in a hurry.

"Sit down!"

Ah Huang sat down with his ass at his feet.

"Ah Huang, you were born to swim, right?"

Ah Huang kept sticking out his tongue and panting, blinking his eyes.

"Okay, I see!"

Xingle looked at Ah Huang, and then looked at it, "What do you understand?"

"Ah Huang said it was fine!"

"Why didn't I see that?"

"It's heart-to-heart communication, based on the tacit understanding that I have been with Ah Huang for a long time, and only I can know what it's thinking!"

"Oh......" Xingle nodded as if he didn't understand.

"Come, Ah Huang, jump in and catch a fish and come back!" can point to the fish in the river.

Ah Huang walked over and poked his head out to look at the river, then looked at it again, and retreated.

"It's okay Ah Huang, although I haven't taught you, but Xingle said that you were born to swim, so it's definitely okay. ”

Ah Huang sat in place, indifferent.

"Ah Huang, come here, come here!" Zhang Xingle squatted down and beckoned to Ah Huang, grabbed Ah Huang when he was about to approach him, and carried it to the bridge.

"What are you going to do?"

"Help Ah Huang!" After speaking, he threw Ah Huang down.

Hearing the plopping sound, you can stand by the bridge with Xingle with your mouth open, looking forward to the scene of Ah Huang catching fish.

I saw Ah Huang screaming a few times, all four legs were throbbing, and his head was planted in the water and came out again, looking very painful.

"Ah Huang can't swim, he's dying, he's dying!" can pinch Xingle's neck and shake it vigorously.

"It's okay, it's okay, it may be the first time Ah Huang is not skilled, and it will be fine soon!"

You can watch it with Xingle with mixed feelings for a while.

But it didn't take long for Ah Huang to start drinking water, spitting bubbles and about to sink.

"Ah~ah~ I'm going to die, I'm going to die!" Qi Ke grabbed his scalp and ran around.

"Ah~ah~" Zhang Xingle also began to shout.

"Save him, quick, quick, quick! pole, pole!"

Xingle immediately ran over and picked up the pole on the side and pulled Ah Huang to the shore, so that he could run down and carry Ah Huang to the shore.

"Ah Huang, are you okay! I thought you were going to die!"

Ah Huang coughed a few times, shook his hair a few times, and looked innocently. At this time, Xingle also ran over, and when he could see him, he scolded: "Xingle is to blame you, it's all your fault! I'll strangle you, strangle you!"

"Wait, wait," Xingle covered his neck, "How do I know that Ah Huang really can't swim, it's a dog who was born!"

"That doesn't mean that Ah Huang will definitely be, Ah Huang is a different dog!"

"Didn't you communicate with your heart? Didn't Ah Huang say that there was no problem?"

You can squat down immediately, shake Ah Huang and say, "Ah Huang, how can you be strong!"

"Ah Huang really has not inherited any advantages of rhubarb except for his earthy yellow fur! After a few generations, he has completely reduced to an out-and-out earth dog. ”

"Isn't rhubarb also a soil dog?"

"Rhubarb is no ordinary dog, he has followed my grandfather through all kinds of risks, traveled to all kinds of places, and seen the world. As its descendant, how can Ah Huang not even be able to swim!"

"Rhubarb has eaten every in the village!

In such a laughing, cheerful and busy life, the three days passed quickly, and finally the day of the prefectural order came. Early in the morning, everything is ready, the ploughing is in place, the herding is in place, the laundry is in place, and the children with children are in place. As soon as the prefectural order arrived, all parts began to operate.

But after a few hours, the county order still didn't come, and the vegetables in front of the cultivators were about to die. When the herding animals look at the sheep for a while, and when they see the sheep running around in front of them, they will fall asleep. The children all took their mother's hand and muttered that they wanted to go home. The village chief went to pick up the county order and has not come back yet. Everyone else was waiting for him to arrive, and when the time came, there would be a round of applause and a warm welcome.

At this time, the trees on both sides of the road from the entrance of the village to the village were already full of lanterns. There are two professional teams in the village to welcome the leaders, one is a waist drum team composed of a group of old ladies, and Grandma Qi is also one of them. Whenever the leader arrives at the gate of the village, he will perform on both sides, which symbolizes that the people in the village are healthy and the grandmother's waist is still so good. The other is a lion dance team made up of a group of middle-aged men. Two big drums, two lions, as soon as the leader arrived in the village, they began to beat the drums, and the people cheered, and then the two lions jumped out, shook their heads, blinked their eyes, and finally spit out a couplet in their mouths. This symbolizes that the middle-aged people in the village love life, the whole village has a strong labor force, and the people are prosperous.

Suddenly, there was the sound of a waist drum at the entrance of the village, which was like a kind of code and alarm, which meant that the county magistrate had finally arrived at the entrance of the village, and the atmosphere began to liven.

At this time, the ploughman had already picked up a hoe and began to work, and the herding of cattle was also driving the sheep around, and the children were walking on the road with the children's hands, and the washing of clothes was smiling and shaking their clothes, and there was a lot of laughter and laughter in the tavern. The village was in an uproar, like a madman who had suddenly fallen ill.

Qi Ke and Zhang Xingle were in the crowd, stretching their necks and looking in the direction of the entrance of the village.

"Bang!" I heard a huge gong, this is the so-called "gong to open the way", the county magistrate belongs to the seven products, and when they enter the village and go to the street, they sound the gong seven times, which means that all the personnel who are soldiers or not must give way.

I only heard the gong getting closer and closer, and when it came to the seventh sound, Qi Ke shouted: "Coming, coming!"

I saw two majestic black horses coming over, with red flowers on their heads, and two carriages behind them, also wrapped in red flowers. Immediately two people sat down, slowly moving forward. The county order should not be a carriage to travel, only a sedan chair can be carried out, but in this situation where the county is the boss, the village chief pays attention to the pomp and circumstance of the county order, as long as it is mighty.
