Chapter 221 Build a house for outsiders to live in

Just when Quan Quanjin, the county magistrate, was so embarrassed that his toes were about to pierce the soles of his shoes, Hu Kaicheng finally got down to business.

"I see that your Taiping Village is vast and sparsely populated. Once the spring plowing is over, there is no one to help. So Quan Jin, do you have an idea to recruit more villagers?"

Hu Kaicheng smiled and narrowed his eyes, almost engraving his true purpose on his face.

Quan Quanjin couldn't laugh or cry.

It can be regarded as the topic.

Qi Quanjin hurriedly cupped his fists and nodded: "Your magistrate is powerful, the grass people really have this idea. It's just that the grass people are new here, and they are really not familiar with this Jicheng. If they rashly go to other villages to poach people, they are afraid of causing disputes. My lord, the grass people There is really no good way, please tell me a thing or two."

After all, the other party is the county magistrate, their parents' official, and it's not good for Qi Qijin to save face for the other party.

Hu Kaicheng was even happier when he heard this, and he patted the table twice: "Okay, okay, if you have such an idea, I will definitely fully support you!"

"Well, last year there were many refugees from other places. After this year's hard work, they are not considered refugees anymore. At most, they are living a poor life."

"They can't buy much land, and the nearby villages are not good at tossing about two lands for one land. If you want, then these people will be divided into your Yongping Village, how about it?"

What Hu Kaicheng said was naturally not as direct as what Liu Qinghe said.

Qi Qijin sighed secretly in his heart, thanks to Brother Liu who told him the truth beforehand, otherwise he would be put on the list by the county magistrate now.

But Quan Qijin also knew that it was impossible for him to refuse such a thing.

Once rejected, whether their village can develop is still a trivial matter, mainly because the county magistrate is unhappy, so how can life in their village be better?
Quan Qijin said yes repeatedly pretending to be happy, and put on a embarrassed look before the other party spoke again: "My lord, your suggestion is good, but..."

"Just what? If you have any problems, you can just say it. If it is within the scope of my ability, I will deal with it for you."

Hu Kaicheng is also in a good mood now.

Quan Quanjin hesitated for a while, and then talked about the housing issue.

This matter is really a problem, and Hu Kaicheng has no good way to deal with it for a while.

At the same time, the Qi family in Yongping Village.

Qi Manman sat on the kang, with a pure wooden abacus in front of him.

Qi Zheng was sitting opposite Qi Manman, leaning against the quilt, and said with a smile: "Man Baoer, this is an abacus, how about grandpa teaching you how to make an abacus?"

Although Qi Zheng is a farmer, he also learned abacus when he was young.

However, it is rarely used on weekdays, and now it can only be pushed and pulled slowly, which is completely incomparable with the shopkeeper and accountant in other stores.

Qi Manman stretched out his chubby hand, and pinched the abacus beads, but failed to pinch.

After two attempts without success, Qi Manman curled his lips, kicked the abacus away, and turned around to crawl towards his grandmother.

Qi Cheng was sitting at the head of the kang, mending clothes, and looked up from time to time.

Seeing her little granddaughter crawling towards her, the old lady hurriedly put the needlework in her hand into the sewing basket, and stretched out her hand to hug her granddaughter.

"Man Bao'er, what's the matter? Don't learn how to dial the abacus beads?"

While Qi Cheng said yes, he tidied up the little girl's fluffy hair.

Qi Manman snorted: "Abacus is not fun. Grandma, let's chop wood and build a house!"

"Build a house? What kind of house to build? Our house is not enough to live in now."

Qi Chengshi nodded the tip of the little girl's nose amusedly.

Qi Manman clenched his nose and looked unhappy: "Grandma, the new house is for outsiders to live in, we can't live in it."

"Outsiders? Your grandfather Zhou and his family also have houses."

Qi Cheng still didn't take this seriously.

On the other hand, Qi Zheng who had just hung the abacus on the wall paused, and hurriedly asked, "Man Baoer, who are you talking about outsiders?"

"Well……"

Qi Manman put his index finger on his lips and nodded, shook his head several times before saying: "There are many uncles and uncles, as well as little brothers and sisters."

Qi Zheng and Qi Chengshi looked at each other, and both of them felt a tingling feeling in their scalps.

Man Baoer rarely said such things on weekdays, but once he did, he thought something was going to happen.

Could it be that a stranger came to the village to borrow it?
"Old lady, I'm looking at Man Baoer, go and call Mengniang over."

Qi Zheng came over hurriedly, took Qi Manman, and asked Qi Cheng to run errands.

Qi Cheng responded, pulled on his shoes and walked out.

Right now Yi Meng is writing and drawing in their four-bedroom house.

Since you want to keep accounts, you have to look like you are keeping accounts.

Hearing the knock on the door, Yi Meng only said "Come in", but didn't get up.

The only ones who can come to her at this moment are a few sisters-in-law at home. They have a good relationship with each other and don't have so many politeness.

"Meng Niang."

Qi Cheng didn't call until he entered the room, which surprised Yi Meng.

Seeing that it was her mother-in-law, Yi Meng hurriedly got off the kang: "Mother, why are you here?"

He also noticed that the old lady was wearing a jacket, not wearing any clothes, and her shoes were also pulled by her feet, and she was startled immediately: "Mother, what happened?"

"It's okay, it's okay, don't worry."

Seeing that Yi Meng's face changed, Qi Cheng hurriedly comforted him: "It's your father who asked me to call you over. I'm not in a hurry to go back to see Man Bao'er, that's why I didn't put on my shoes."

"Mom, you..."

Yi Meng laughed angrily: "It's cold outside, what do you say if you catch a cold? Sit down quickly, put on your jacket and shoes before we talk."

Until nothing happened, Yi Meng was not in a hurry.

Helping the mother-in-law to sit down by the kang, squatting down to put on the shoes for the old lady herself, and helping to put on the jacket carefully.

After that, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned to the old lady's room.

When passing by Qi Ercai's house, there was no sound in the house, so Qi Cheng said: "Your second sister-in-law probably went to your sister-in-law's house to chat again."

"There's nothing going on at home right now, and it's boring to stay alone in the house."

Yi Meng rescues Qu Laidi.

Qi Cheng snorted: "Why is there nothing wrong with it? The houses in front are all planted. You need to pay more attention to it."

"Yes, mother, don't worry! We have made all arrangements, and there will be no problems."

Naturally, Yi Meng would not speak ill of her sister-in-law in front of her mother-in-law.

Don't look at the mother-in-law who occasionally shows her dislike for any daughter-in-law, in fact she can be said to treat these daughter-in-laws fairly.

If any daughter-in-law wanted to pay attention to other sisters-in-law in front of her, this old lady would definitely beat the tongue-twisting person first.

It is precisely because of the presence of such an enlightened mother-in-law that even though the daughters-in-law of the Qi family have their own thoughts, they will not affect the unity of the whole family in the slightest.
