After the Spring Festival, it is the beginning of another year. The bright red Spring Festival couplets on the doors and windows quietly warm people's eyes in winter. Even though the cold is still there, they give people hope for life.

After nearly half a month of vacation at Baijia Private School, the students are also preparing to start school.

On this holiday, the students of Baijia Private School had a relatively healthy life. Their complexions were rosy and shiny, and they were a little more fleshy than when they were resting.

Liu Qingcao's factory shed also began to be built one after another. After a fat year, Liu Kaifu and his group also brought tools and came to the factory shed with smiles and continued to complete the construction.

The reclamation of the wasteland at the foot of the mountain, under the call of Tian Lin and Jiang Li, the villagers of the two villages also came to Shihe Village happily.

All of this is proceeding in an orderly manner.

At the end of Shihe Village, Liu Qingcao's house, one by one clay pots, were loaded onto a bullock cart.

"Girl, these green radishes and pickled mustards have already been packed, and they will be sent to the county seat tomorrow for Patriarch Lu."

Pan Yong counted the quantity and reported to Liu Qingcao.

He looked at the clay pots on the bullock cart and secretly admired them.

He didn't know what was in their girl's head, but he could think of turning this unsalable green-headed radish into such a pickle, and sold it at a high price.

From the beginning to now, the girl has been surprising them all the time, opening their eyes.

"Brother Pan, these are fragile, remember to slow down on the road when the time comes."

"Don't worry girl."

Liu Qingcao looked at the mustard jars in a large bullock cart, and bent her lips. This time, she was too numb.

Early the next morning after the green-headed radish and pickled mustard were delivered, Pan Yong came out of the town house, had breakfast, and went to the town to buy the materials needed for Liu Qingcao.

Suddenly, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and found that the doors and windows of Huibai Building not far ahead had been sealed.

When I came to deliver the goods yesterday, Huibailou was still open, why was it sealed up overnight?
Afraid that he was delusional, he walked forward quickly.

When they reached the entrance of Huibailou, they could hear discussions around them.

"Oh, I don't know what happened to Hui Bailou. It was suddenly sealed up by the government last night." The middle-aged man asked curiously.

"I don't know. In the middle of the night, those are officers and soldiers from above. Who dares to inquire about it." The man revealed to him in a low voice, but he didn't know the details.

The other man standing next to them listened carefully to the discussions. After a long time, he showed reluctance to those around him.

"This Huibailou has been sealed off, and I don't know where I can get the recruitment dishes here, hey..."

"Ah, what I'm talking about is that we won't be able to eat the food in Huibailou. It's really a pity. I don't know what the owner of this restaurant thinks."

"Hey, I heard that the county town also has them, but it's too far away. It's not worth it to go to the county town just to have a meal." The man shook his head. With his family background, he would not spend more money just for the sake of appetite. Take a trip to the county seat.

"Let's go, let's go, get busy."

"Let's go, if it's later, the job will be gone."

Pan Yong didn't get much useful information from them, so he walked into the crowd again.

At this time, his sleeve was pulled by someone, he thought it was a thief, so he quickly reached out and grabbed the man, and after he caught him, he took a closer look, only to find out that he was an acquaintance.

"Lin Er? Restaurant"

"Brother Pan, come with me."

Pan Yong let him go, and was about to ask, but was interrupted by Lin Er.

Pan Yong nodded, followed Lin Er's footsteps, turned left and right, and stopped when he reached an alley at the end of the street.

"Brother Pan, shopkeeper Ge is waiting for you inside, so I won't go in. I have something to do at home, so I have to go back first."

Lin Er pointed to a wooden door in front of him, then turned and left.

Pan Yong frowned when he saw how cautious they were.

Thinking of Hui Bailou, which was sealed by the government, Pan Yong felt a little bad in his heart.

He reached out and knocked on the wooden door, but after waiting for a while, no one came to open the door. He wondered if he didn't make a sound, so the people inside didn't open the door.

"The shopkeeper, I'm Pan Yong."

Pan Yong knocked on the door again, this time reporting his name. Sure enough, after a while, footsteps started to come from inside.

"Support~"

The wooden door was opened, Pan Yong looked up, and saw an old woman, thinking that Lin Er had taken it to the wrong place, and was about to apologize and leave, but the old woman turned her body sideways and stood aside.

"Little brother, come in."

The old woman looked at the people outside the door with friendly eyes and spoke in a warm voice.

"Thank you." Pan Yong nodded, went straight up the steps, and walked into the courtyard.

When Pan Yong entered the door, he glanced around from the corner of his eye.

The yard is not big, quite satisfactory, enough for three people to live in, the yard is clean and bright, a wintersweet is planted in the corner, and it is in full bloom at this time, and the plum fragrance permeates the whole yard.

"Little brother, people will be here soon, you wait in the main room for a while, and I will boil a pot of water."

As the old woman said, she turned around and walked towards the door. Somehow it was too cold, Pan Yong saw that her legs and feet were not very agile, and she had some difficulty walking.

There was no meeting after the old woman left, Ge Hongshan came out of the house and rushed to the lobby in a hurry.

The first time Ge Hongshan entered the door, Pan Yong was keenly aware of Ge Hongshan's strangeness.

He looked haggard, his hair was more gray than when he saw him yesterday, his eyes were dark, as if he had stayed up all night without rest, and even his footsteps were a little vain.

Pan Yong was stunned, he didn't understand why shopkeeper Ge became so depressed overnight, and he didn't understand why shopkeeper Ge was looking for him when Huibailou was sealed off, or in other words, he was looking for a girl from his family.

Oh, it's time to find it.

Pan Yong thought of Liu Qingcao's monthly dividends, and immediately became serious.

"Shopkeeper Ge, what is this?"

Pan Yong didn't ask directly, he wanted to know if shopkeeper Ge came to him to talk about this matter.

If not, it's not too late for him to mention it.

"Brother Pan Yong, you must have seen it when you were in the town. Huibailou has been sealed off."

Ge Hongshan was dejected and his voice was a little hoarse. When he said this, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

Pan Yong nodded, taking a panoramic view of his expression, but did not speak, waiting for Ge Hongshan to speak again.

"Brother Pan Yong, our boss was framed by someone, and now we are locked up in prison by the people above, and all the money has been confiscated.

Now that the restaurant is closed, Hui Bailou's owner can't give your master's money, so you have to go to Li Zheng for this matter. "

"Looking for Rizheng?"

Pan Yong didn't know much about officialdom, he didn't understand what was the use of finding Lizheng after Huibailou was seized.

Seeing his confusion, Ge Hongshan opened his mouth to explain.

"Brother Pan Yong doesn't know that according to the laws of the Yu Dynasty, the confiscated goods are handed over to the yamen within the jurisdiction, and the yamen handles them."

"It's just that the people above came suddenly. Lizheng hadn't arrived when the seizure was made. Those people were bullying and thoughtful. When they came to the restaurant, they took the money away. Alas, even the wages of the odd jobs in the restaurant were not paid. They didn't stay either."

Ge Hongshan sighed, his anger couldn't be calmed down, but he knew that his arms couldn't twist his thighs, and no matter how angry he was, it wouldn't help.

The officers and soldiers took the money from the ledger and had to hand it over to the higher authorities. According to the rules, they had to check with Li Zheng, and then handed over their wages after they had been paid.

But these people think that Li Zheng's official position is small, and they don't need to explain, so they took away the wages of their own group of people and Liu Qingcao's share, and the money of these people was naturally taken in by these people halfway I put it in my pocket.

Pan Yong frowned, he understood Ge Hongshan's meaning, he had to go to Lizheng to get the share of the money, it was hard to say whether he could get it, after all the money had already been taken away by the officials.

"Shopkeeper Ge, I understand. I will explain this matter to the girl when I go back."

Ge Hongshan nodded and sighed in his heart, the money was too much, even if he was asked to give it all, he would not be able to make up for it.

I hope that Lizheng can find a way to sell the restaurant stuff and return the money to Liu Qingcao.

Ugh!
Looking at the small yard, Ge Hongshan was secretly melancholy.

His savings over the years, once restored, his heart is still somewhat bitter.

Pan Yong didn't stay with Ge Hongshan for long, he came out of the small courtyard. In the town, he bought everything and drove the ox cart back to Shihe Village without a moment's delay.
