Chapter 237 I feel quite sorry
The squad leader had been worried for a long time, but decided to tell Meng Changqing that the people above him were the most uncertain. If he stayed away today, he might be like a family tomorrow. By then, the above sentence would be a sign of neglect from the people below. He was out of luck.
"Mr. Meng." The class leader shouted outside the room. When he saw the other party looking at him, he bent down and went in. "Seeing that it's time for lunch, the kitchen is..."
Before he finished speaking, Meng Changqing said: "We brought our own dry food, so the class leader doesn't have to worry about it."
"Yes." The squad leader breathed a sigh of relief, then noticed the kettle on the charcoal basin and stepped forward to pick it up, "I will add some water to you, sir."
Meng Changqing waited patiently. When it was getting late, he felt that it was almost time, so he asked Bafang to find the class leader and ask: "Isn't your adult back yet?"
"As for my lord, my lord has not come back yet."
"It seems that I can't wait for Mr. Mao today. I'll take my leave now." Meng Changqing stood up and said, "Can you please help me, class leader, to bring a message to Mr. Mao? I'll come back to see you tomorrow."
After leaving the Yamen, Meng Changqing hurried to the city gate. She was eager to ask Yang Zheng if anyone was coming.
When they arrived at the place, before she even asked the question, she saw Yang Zheng saluting her with a smile, and Meng Changqing knew what was going on. "Captain Yang, it's getting late, we should go back."
As soon as the group of people left the city gate, Yang Zheng couldn't wait to say: "Sir, your method is really useful! How many people do you think I received today?"
"How could I have guessed this?"
"More than twenty people!" Yang Zheng was the happiest he had been today. "More than ten people came to Qian Zengzhuang alone. There are three families, old and young. Yesterday Zeng Dashu and his family had a really good start!"
Meng Changqing is not as happy as Yang Zheng. What she wants to do has not been completed yet. More than 20 people cannot play a big role in Beishan County.
But Yang Zheng was right, this was a good start.
"Except Qian Zengzhuang, which county do everyone else come from?" Meng Changqing asked.
Yang Zheng laughed twice unkindly, "They are all from Yangmen County." After saying that, he felt that his laughter just now was inappropriate, coughed twice, and continued: "I feel that most of the people who came here are I heard the news from the gatekeepers.
When those people came over today, one of the errand boys looked very ugly. ”
Meng Changqing nodded after listening to his words.
"By the way, sir, after you left in the morning, someone from the city gate immediately ran to the Yamen to report the message. However, I don't think he got any good instructions. After he came back, he held the soldier's head and muttered for a while, but he didn't dare to say anything Let’s talk half a sentence.”
"Mr. Mao is not in the county office, and the person who reported the news was in vain." Meng Changqing covered his mouth and nose with a scarf, raised his voice and said, "Go home and come back tomorrow!"
When it gets dark, Meng Changqing and others are still on the road, but in the Beishan County Yamen, those who should be exchanged are exchanged, and those who should be dismissed are dismissed.
Jiang Chan and Luo Xiaofeng had dinner and each carried their own baskets to go home. As soon as they left the east gate of the county government office, they saw a patrol of government officials waiting near the horse-tethering post.
Jiang Chan pulled Luo Xiaofeng and hurried forward, "I came out late today, so I'll keep you guys waiting."
Zuo Datou waved his hand, "It's not too late. We have set patrol hours. If you were really late, we would have left long ago. Let's go!"
The patrolmen had to observe everywhere, so they naturally walked not too fast. It was not difficult for Jiang Chan and Luo Xiaofeng to follow them.
When they arrived near Luojia Village, Zuo Datou asked the patrolling brothers to rest where they were. He watched Jiang Chan and Luo Xiaofeng enter the village before continuing to patrol.
Jiang Chan first sent Luo Xiaofeng back to her home, and then walked home herself.
As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw that the courtyard door was open, and her man was standing by the door looking at her.
"Why are you late today?" Luo Sanmu came up quickly and took the basket from her hand. He was relieved when he saw that she was fine. Jiang Chan rubbed her hands, held them to her mouth and breathed, "Where are the children?"
"I'm playing in the house, and I won't sleep until you come back."
Jiang Chan said: "I brought out a lot of seeds from the warehouse today, so I came back late."
Although she had worked hard all day, Jiang Chan's face was full of smiles. When she entered the house, she grabbed Luo Sanmu and took out a bowl from the covered basket, "Today the Yamen is eating chicken, and I'll keep it for you.
I'll heat it up, and you can add hot water and tell the children to wash their hands. ”
"You go in, I'll heat it up." Luo Sanmu took the bowl in Jiang Chan's hand, "Have a good rest."
Jiang Chan opened the door curtain, but before she walked in, she heard two children shouting excitedly, "Mom is back!"
"Keep your voice down." Jiang Chan sat down by the kang and touched the heads of the two children. "Others are going to bed, so let's keep our voices down."
"Mom." Luo Shitou lay down next to Jiang Chan's legs and asked softly. "What delicious food did you bring back today?"
Jiang Chan smiled and leaned against him, "There is chicken. You can eat it when your dad heats it up."
Luo Shitou immediately yelled, got off the kang and ran outside.
"Slow down." Jiang Chan shook her head and asked her daughter what she did at home all day.
Luo Yun told her with his fingers, speaking clearly and logically one by one. Jiang Chan leaned against her and listened, unable to help but his eyelids started to tremble.
It was the sound of Luo Sanmu coming in with a bowl that woke her up.
"You must be tired." Luo Sanmu put the dishes and chopsticks on the kang table, "There is still hot water in the pot. You should wash up and go to bed first."
"No need." Jiang Chan rubbed her face and squinted for a while, feeling much more energetic. "You and the children can eat."
Luo Sanmu placed four pairs of bowls and chopsticks on the Kang table, "Let's eat together. Before you came back, I took the children to eat in advance, and they were greedy.
I'm afraid you didn't have enough to eat at the Yamen. The food was kept hot in the pot. After he finished speaking, he put two pieces of meat into Jiang Chan's bowl and said, "If there is any more meat in the future, you can eat it yourself. No matter how much the children give you, it won't be enough."
You have to eat some meat for the strenuous work you do in the yamen, otherwise you won't be able to bear it. ”
"It's just all kinds of things. You don't need to put in a lot of effort." Jiang Chan shared the contents of his bowl with the two children. Luo Shitou immediately stuffed it into his mouth, but Luo Yun put it back into Jiang Chan's bowl. "Mom, you also Eat.”
"I ate it at the Yamen." Jiang Chan explained.
After the meal was finished, Luo Sanmu cleared the table and bowls, and the two children quickly fell asleep. Jiang Chan took out the hidden money bag and put the twenty coins she received today into it. He counted these coins twice.
As soon as Luo Sanmu came in, he saw Jiang Chan saying happily to him: "If you go there tomorrow, you will have one hundred Wen."
"It's a pity that I wasn't selected, otherwise our family could have saved a lot of money in a year." Luo Sanmu felt very regretful. The people who were selected from the village were quite impressive when they came back, wearing clothes issued by the yamen. , speaking more energetically than before.
Jiang Chan held Luo Sanmu's wrist, "I asked the eighth master in the county government office. There will be a chance in the future. When the time comes, we will run to the county government office as soon as we hear the gong."
Luo Sanmu smiled and nodded, "Okay!"
