This is a long story.
Qin Yao explained simply, "I was thinking, there are so many empty spaces and houses in the village, why can't we reuse them?"
"Our Liujia Village has mountains and water, and the scenery is beautiful in all seasons. Now that the road has been repaired and transportation is convenient, why not create a paradise for people?"
"If we want to keep people here, we have to take care of food, accommodation and transportation. We have transportation, but we still lack food and accommodation. These vacant abandoned old things and open spaces with great views can be used."
Having said that, Qin Yao stopped talking, snatched the key from the village chief's hand, and opened the courtyard gate that was useless.
The village chief stretched out his hand in annoyance, but before he could get the key back, the old wooden door slowly opened with a rough and harsh sound.
Looking at the collapsed walls on both sides of the door, Qiu and He looked at each other and thought that it didn't make much difference whether they had the key or not.
The sister-in-law lifted her legs and stepped over the collapsed wall and came to the weed-covered yard.
The village chief saw that the three sisters-in-law didn't say a word and just started weeding. He knew that his staying there would be a hindrance, so he shook his head helplessly, put his hands behind his back and went back to the village, planning to find more people to help.
The old man didn't express any opinion about the transformation Qin Yao just mentioned, but his active action of gathering people at this moment showed his inner excitement and support.
More than anyone else, he hopes that the entire village can continue to be full of new vitality.
But having only one stationery factory obviously cannot last long.
When you haven't eaten well, you can live a sloppy and confused life.
But now they have tried the water mill, planted the rice seeds they have carefully cultivated, built a stationery factory, accommodated refugees and repaired the roads in the village. Seeing that their lives are getting better day by day and the village is becoming more lively, how can they bear to let it go back to its original state?
The village chief walked around the village briskly with his old legs, and whenever he found someone free, he would ask them to go to the innermost part of the village to look for Qin Yao.
Although the villagers who were conscripted did not understand why, when they heard that they were going to look for Qin Yao, they still followed the village chief's instructions, brought their own tools, and actively went to look for her. This shows Qin Yao's reputation in the village.
With more manpower, cleaning up the broken house can be done faster, and Qin Yao can also stop for a while to think about how to live in this roofless house tonight.
She came from the end of the world and had a lot of experience in rebuilding houses from ruins. However, in ancient times, there were no convenient materials such as plastic and foam. Qin Yao picked up the hatchet and strode towards the grass by the river.
The renovation of the old house was in full swing. On the other side, Liu Ji had already driven to pick up the Qi family with his four children.
Unexpectedly, Liu Ji arrived so timely. Qi Xianguan got out of the carriage and asked curiously, "Liu Ji, how did you know we would come at this time?"
Liu Ji asked the children to get off the car and greet the teacher.
Hearing Gong Liangliao's tired response from the carriage, Liu Ji was relieved to confirm that the person he was thinking of had really come. He smiled and replied to Qi Xianguan:
"Young Master Qi, there is a departure date on the letter. If you can do some calculations, you will know that the gentleman will arrive before this evening."
Si Niang secretly rolled her eyes. It was clearly Awang's calculation. Dad really knows how to flatter himself.
Qi Xianguan raised his eyes and glanced at the four siblings, looking at the lush forests on both sides of the road, frowned and said:
"Liu Ji, is this the picturesque scenery you mentioned?"
As he traveled along the way, he felt that the road was difficult to walk on and the scenery was mediocre. Although there was an occasional small scene that brought a little surprise, it was nothing compared to the famous mountains and rivers he had seen before.
Liu Ji signaled him not to worry, "Good things usually come at the end."
He also said to Shitou and other guards considerately: "You have all worked hard on this journey. I will lead the way from now on. Brothers, take a rest."
Shitou looked at Qi Xianguan and waited for him to nod before he clasped his fists and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Master Liu!"
"You're welcome." Liu Ji hurriedly shook his head, asked the four children to return to the carriage, and walked to the outside of the Qi family's carriage alone, and asked in a gentle voice:
"Sir, there is a spring ahead that is very clear. Would you like to stop and have a sip?"
The curtain of the carriage was opened, and Gong Liangliao's half-smiley face appeared in front of Liu Ji. Liu Ji immediately smiled with a mouthful of white teeth, and said without blushing or beating his heart:
"Sir, I have been looking forward to your coming since we last met. Today my wish has come true. It feels like a dream."
As he said this, he moved his face upwards and asked Gong Liangliao to pinch him to see if it hurt.
Qi Xianguan witnessed the whole process and suddenly felt a little regretful for offering to accompany the gentleman to see this "sincere man" who asked "Is the gentleman here?" three times a day.
What surprised him even more was that the usually serious gentleman actually bent his fingers and pinched Liu Ji's face hard, saying jokingly: "You bastard, you are so shameless!"
Liu Ji cried out in pain, and quickly covered his face from being pinched and tried to get away. He didn't mind exposing his ugly appearance in front of the great scholar at all, and even made weird faces.
Gong Liangliao was startled for a moment, then he burst into laughter, pointed at him and said, "I have been feeling bored all along the way. Today, when I saw you, I suddenly feel that this ordinary forest in front of me is a lot fresher."
Liu Ji covered his face and laughed, "Teacher, let's go and taste the mountain spring water."
As soon as the word "teacher" came out, the smile on Gong Liangliao's face disappeared instantly.
Qi Xianguan stood on the shaft of the carriage, staring at Liu Ji in shock, then quickly turned around to look at Gong Liangliao's expression.
Everyone who was traveling with them held their breath. The atmosphere that was so cheerful just a second ago suddenly became suffocating.
The four brothers and sisters of Dalang, two by two, leaned on the car windows and looked at their father nervously. They felt that his purpose was exposed too early and worried that it would backfire and completely annoy the great scholar.
Liu Ji himself seemed unaware of the suffocating atmosphere. As if he had some magic, he suddenly took out a gourd from behind his waist, shook it, and the wine inside clinked.
Gong Liangliao's smile bloomed again, "Hahaha, you are great! You wrote a letter to trick me into coming here. It turns out you want to become my disciple!"
Even as he said these accusatory words, his face was always smiling, and anyone could see that the old man was truly happy and was not making false accusations.
If he was given a little color, Liu Ji would be able to open a dyeing factory. He immediately bowed deeply to Qi Xianguan standing on the shaft of the carriage, "Liu Ji greets Brother!"
Qi Xianguan was so frightened that he stepped back repeatedly. Fortunately, the driver held him, otherwise he would have fallen off the horse.
Liu Ji did not give the little brother a chance to speak. He picked him up and put him on his own carriage. He said to Shitou, "Please send a driver. I see that my brother is about the same age as my child. I think it would be more fun for them to be together. Let me accompany you here, teacher."
After saying that, he slipped into the Qi family's carriage, and like a magic trick, he took out two wine glasses, and drank wine with the teacher while looking at the scenery.
Gong Liangliao suddenly felt that this journey was much more interesting than the previous ones!
