Chapter 278 The Awkward Old Man

"It should be so, it should be so."

Liu Qinghe especially agrees with this approach.

That's it, the county magistrate can only wait for the news.

So Liu Qinghe looked at the boy apologetically.

The young man is also an exquisite person, and immediately understood: "This matter really needs to be discussed and discussed, so let's do it today, and the little one has to go back quickly."

"Go slowly, little brother!"

When Liu Qinghe saw the other party get up, he also stood up, cupping his fists and saluting.

Quan Quanjin followed suit.

After the three of them watched the young servant leave, they also left the tea house in a carriage and pulled a horse.

Went to Liu's house to pick up the old lady and the others, and everyone walked around the street again.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, he drove the carriage out of the city.

It hasn't rained recently, the ground is dry, and with the lantern lighting, although the speed of the car is not fast, it is not too dangerous.

It's just that it was almost midnight when we got to the village.

Everyone in the village is asleep, but the patrolling people are still there.

Because the village is now surrounded by walls, a lot of things are piled up outside.

No guards were arranged before, and every morning, more or less things were found missing.

Either a few earth bricks or a few pieces of wood.

For a few pieces of earth bricks and a few pieces of wood, there was no way to search every house, so I had to let it go, but patrols were quickly organized.

With Patrol, the phenomenon of dropping things is gone.

This matter has made Quan Quanjin very angry, and he talked to Yi Meng twice, and Yi Meng proposed a system of rewards and punishments.

For example, if there is no behavior of throwing things during ten consecutive night shift patrols, only one team will be rewarded with ten coins.

If something is lost, then the team's wages, the deducted money and the price change of the lost item will be deducted.

But it will only deduct more, not less.

In this way, it is very effective to avoid the situation of guarding and stealing.

Now the patrols spotted the lanterns in the distance and startled them.

He hurriedly notified others that someone was approaching.

When Qi Quanjin and his party arrived at the entrance of the village, almost all the men in the village were waiting for them.

Seeing that the people who came back were Yamen Liu and the village head, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, greeted each other and went home to rest.

"Brother Quan Jin, I have to say that the people in your village are really united."

Entering the Qi family compound, Liu Qinghe couldn't help sighing.

He just watched the flames at the entrance of the village gradually increase, and they were all torches lit by men who ran out of their homes.

Quan Qijin laughed twice: "Unity is a good thing, unity is a good thing."

As he said this, Quan Quanjin admired his wife in his heart.

If the daughter-in-law hadn't proposed the system of rewards and punishments and arranged for patrols, how could there be such changes in the village!

Qi Zheng hadn't slept yet, and he was relieved until his old wife came back. He pretended to be woken up and sat up, and complained disgustedly: "Why are you coming back so late? It's not that there are no houses or yards in the city. Can't you come back tonight?"

Mrs. Qi Cheng sat on the kang, turned sideways to take off the outer shirt for her little granddaughter, and said, "I can sleep wherever I like, what are you doing so much, you old man? Sleep or not? If you don't sleep, go to the main room." sit down!"

"Why should I go to the main room? Whoever wants to go will go, anyway, I won't go! I have worked all day, unlike some people who have gone out to play all day."

As Qi Zheng said, he lay down again, pulled off the thin blanket and wrapped it around his body.

Seeing the old man's childish appearance, Qi Cheng almost couldn't laugh, but he still held back.

Seeing that the other party really pretended to be asleep and stopped talking, Qi Cheng became a little anxious.

He didn't even bother to wipe his granddaughter's hands, and pushed the old man's shoulder: "Hey, are you really asleep? Get up, I have something to tell you!"

"What are you talking about? I'll talk about it tomorrow! I've been working all day, and my old bones are almost exhausted."

As Qi Zheng said, his whole body twisted forward.

Qi Cheng laughed angrily: "You work? Who in the whole village dares to let you, an old man, work? Get up quickly, and when your son and daughter-in-law come to talk about things, what do you do with your old man lying on the kang thing?"

"You are the one who never dies!"

Qi Zheng sat up suddenly: "Good old lady, you just went for a walk in the city, and you started to dislike me when you came back, didn't you?"

Qi Cheng didn't realize the abnormality of the old man at first, but now he has figured it out, and one of them couldn't hold it back, and burst out laughing: "Who despises you? I despise you and can live with you for so many years, Having so many children? Okay, a little regular, don't let the children laugh at you."

"Hmph! I am their father, who dares to laugh at me!"

Qi Zheng was talking, but his voice was obviously much lower.

Qi Cheng picked up his sleeping little granddaughter and stuffed it to Qi Zheng, saying: "Hold it first, I'll get some hot water for Man Bao'er to wipe her hands and feet. By the way, don't play your temper. Next time I go to town, I will definitely take you with me."

"Humph!"

Qi Zheng snorted.

Seeing that the old wife was really going to fetch water from the kitchen, she said: "There is warm water on the stove opposite, it's not hot, it can be used directly."

"understood."

Qi Cheng waved his hand.

As soon as she entered the kitchen, she felt that the temperature in the kitchen was higher, and the air still smelled of burnt wood.

Although the candlesticks in the kitchen were against the room where they slept, the kitchen was so big that even if the light wasn't very good, she could still see some water vapor wafting from the edge of the iron pot in the opposite stove.

No need to think about it, it was prepared by the old man.

Isn't that bad old man just annoyed that he wasn't taken to the city today?

Shaking his head helplessly, Qi Cheng brought warm water and a handkerchief into the house: "Wipe Man Baoer's face, hands and feet, and be gentle, so as not to wake the child up."

"Why should I wipe it?"

Qi Zheng frowned.

Although he is also very fond of his little granddaughter, but this old woman is too easy to order around!
Qi Cheng glared at him, and said angrily, "I'm going to make noodles for some bad old man!"

"Then you go! I'll wipe Man Baoer's face."

When Qi Zheng heard this, a smile appeared on his face.

Bad old man is bad old man, as long as there are noodles to eat.

Qi Cheng said "virtue", and he left the house.

When Qi Quanjin, Yi Meng, and Qi Ercai came over, they saw the old lady kneading dough.

"Mother, why are you still kneading dough so late?"

Yi Meng hurried forward, reaching out to grab the job.

Qi Cheng hid himself and said, "You are not needed here, so hurry up and talk to the old man about business! I will cook some noodles and it will be ready soon. You all follow along and eat."

Yi Meng wanted to say something, but was dragged into the house by Quan Jin's arm. Before entering the house, Quan Jin shook his head at his wife, signaling her not to insist on helping.
