Therefore, when she was thinking about what dish to cook to entertain Ji Jingyi, the first thing she thought of was Mapo Tofu.

Seeing Ji Jingyi picking up his chopsticks one after another, Madam Gui said to her daughter, who was eating in silence, "Yueyue, bring the mapo tofu over to Jingyi. He can't quite reach it."

Mengyue rarely refutes what she says to Shi, and this time is no exception.

Even though she was unhappy with Ji Jingyi, she didn't want to offend her mother, so she reached out and put the mapo tofu in front of Ji Jingyi.

Ji Jingyi was immediately flattered. Mengyue, who had always been cold to him, actually brought his favorite dishes to him personally.

"Thank you, Miss."

Ji Jingyi has good dining etiquette, but he doesn't follow the rule of not talking while eating.

Instead, he took the opportunity to chat with Liu, trying to make his presence felt in front of his future mother-in-law.

Ask the mother-in-law to speak well of me to Mengyue.

When Mrs. Qie heard Ji Jingyi praising her, she couldn't stop smiling. She felt that this young man was good and was more than suitable for her daughter.

With Ji Jingyi's lively atmosphere, the atmosphere at the table was quite good.

Seeing that her mother was really happy, Mengyue had a slightly better impression of Ji Jingyi.

It's not that I feel disgusted, but at least I don't have the thought of driving the person away.

After dinner, Ji Jingyi suggested leaving at the right time, and Liu and Mengyue saw him off.

Mengyue went into the room.

When the door opened, the tiger cub came running over as usual.

Mengyue touched the little tiger cub's head, took out the food she had prepared for it, and poured some spiritual spring water into the bowl.

The little tiger cub started eating happily.

Half a month later.

Not only Xingyi Village, but also the fields of the other six villages were irrigated with the help of water wheels and bamboo pipes.

The crops on the ground are growing well and will be ready for harvest in about ten days.

When the villagers in the seven villages saw the rice growing well, they knew that even though there was a severe drought this year, it would still be a year of bumper harvest.

Of course, they all knew that without Mengyue, a reduction in production would be considered a good thing, and there was a high possibility of getting nothing at all.

Under such circumstances, it seemed as if the villagers of the seven villages had been brainwashed and they all admired Mengyue highly.

Nowadays, not only does Mengyue have higher prestige in Xingxi Village than the village chief, but even the other six villages will unwaveringly adhere to what they say to Mengyue.

So much so that basically no one had any objection to what Mengyue had said before, that a large reservoir should be built and the river should be widened.

Even if there were some who disagreed, they were drowned out by the crowd.

People always go with the flow. Villagers who have opinions see that everyone else is doing it and don't want to be out of the group, so they follow suit.

Obviously, the results in the past half month are still very significant.

The section of the river from Xingying Village to Zhoujia Village has been cleaned up and widened as planned.

We just want to widen the river by three meters, and the distance of twenty acres is not close.

Even if all the people from the seven villages worked together day and night, it would still be a huge project and would take a long time.

But Mengyue planned to complete the river channel and start digging the reservoir before the cold winter came.

But there is only one and a half months left before winter arrives.

Mengyue knew that in order to complete the plan as scheduled, in addition to getting more lightweight and labor-saving tools, she also needed people, a large number of talented people.

Just when she was worrying about where to find so many people, an opportunity broke the current dilemma.

The entire Qingshan Town, even Wuning County and Qingshan Prefecture, have undergone earth-shaking changes as a result.

But before that, the locust plague that the villagers had been worried about broke out.
