"yes."
Liu Yang was quite flattered to accept the task.
He and the village chief were both candidates for the village chief last time. At that time, he had said, "How can a woman be the village chief?" Logically, it would have been good enough if the village chief did not bear a grudge against him. Unexpectedly, not only did she not bear a grudge against him, but she actually assigned him a task today, as if she was ready to use him as her deputy and trusted him very much.
Qin Yao smiled slightly, and swept an encouraging look over Liu Yang, then looked at her former opponents one by one.
"No matter what minor conflicts we had before, our ultimate goal is for Liujia Village. We hope that our Liujia Village will become richer and stronger."
"Individual strength is limited. If we want to build the entire Liujia Village well, we must unite!"
"It doesn't matter if it's just a minor fight on weekdays, but at this critical moment, I hope we can all stand together and eliminate all potential dangers to the villagers in our village!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Liu Yang's blood boiled, this time he was really impressed by the new village chief.
It's not shameful to lose to her.
Qin Yao waved her hand and said, "Go ahead. Everyone, lock your doors and take good care of your belongings these days. Don't give anyone with ulterior motives an opportunity to take advantage of you."
When the villagers left and only the clan leader and Liu Yang, who was still deeply excited, were left in the ancestral hall, Qin Yao came to Liu Yang and nodded to him:
"Brother Liu Yang, I have always seen your silent contribution to the entire Liujia Village. Even if you don't say it, I know that in our entire Liujia Village, you are the only one who works diligently for the elders and villagers."
As he spoke, he saw Liu Yang trembling all over and looking like he was about to cry with excitement, so he patted his arm again and reminded him:
"Those scoundrels have always been shady. If we startle them this time, it might cause them to rebel. You have to be more careful these days. It's best not to walk at night. If you really have to walk, remember to find a companion."
Liu Yang choked up and replied, "I will be careful, don't worry, Village Chief."
Qin Yao nodded, "I have always trusted you."
Liu Yang is well-known in the village for his straightforwardness. Others think that he is too straightforward and never gives up. He is not liked by the villagers.
Especially when collecting grain taxes every year, people would hold the most hatred against them.
But Qin Yao thought it was just right.
Let Liu Yang be responsible for checking the workers’ identities, no one can escape!
"It's getting late, clan leader and Brother Liu Yang, you should go back and rest. I'm going to turn off the lights in the ancestral hall and go back too." Qin Yao said with a smile.
The clan leader nodded gratefully to Qin Yao, called his eldest son who was crying with joy at being recognized for the first time, and went home with a helpless smile.
Qin Yao was the last one to leave. She extinguished the candle, checked the doors and windows, locked the door of the ancestral hall, and returned home easily under the exceptionally white moonlight today.
The vacation of the Ding Clan School is over and the children have to go back to school.
When Qin Yao was woken up in the morning, she was still a little confused. She yawned subconsciously and asked, "Where's Awang? Didn't he take you to school?"
Dalang reluctantly reminded, "Mother, Uncle Wang went to Yingtian Prefecture with Father yesterday."
Si Niang held up three fingers, "It will take at least three months for him to come back."
Jiro Saburo nodded, "Yes, three months."
Qin Yao shook her head, completely sober, and resigned herself to her fate, getting up to send the children at home to school.
When they arrived at the old house to pick up Jinhua and Jinbao, it was already a little late. They were so anxious that they secretly shed tears, fearing that they would be slapped on the hands by the teacher when they arrived at the academy.
Fortunately, Third Aunt’s driving skills were still as good as ever. Although the road was a bit bumpy, she finally managed to get them to school safely before the school bell rang.
Students returning from vacation flocked into the school, and in an instant the school returned to its extreme silence.
The school door slammed shut with a bang. Qin Yao, who was in a daze, was startled. Then she came to her senses, turned the ox cart around, and slowly went home.
It's really hard to get used to Awang leaving.
Liu Zhong was recently assigned by Yunniang to a small team for new product development and has been very busy. The task of picking up and dropping off the children at elementary school will fall on Qin Yao for at least the next half month.
It was easy to send her off, but it was a bit troublesome to pick her up, as I still had to take care of the melon fields and vegetable gardens left behind by Awang.
Qin Yao suddenly realized that apart from Awang, she had no other manpower available.
Thinking of the two unknown spies in the village and the impending storm in the county, she really didn't feel comfortable leaving the task of picking up and dropping off the children to school to other people in the family.
The big blue ox had consumed too much energy after running wildly all morning, and it walked slowly on the way back carrying the hostess. It was almost noon when it returned to Liujia Village.
The ox cart passed by the gate of the stationery factory. Qin Yao suddenly caught a glimpse of the river bank, where Yin Le was wearing an apron and washing vegetables with his sleeves rolled up.
While working, she recited the words she had learned, occasionally pausing to write and draw on the leaves with her fingers dipped in water, with great energy.
Qin Yao thought to herself, I don't know where this girl got all this energy from, it's endless.
One of them was on the road, and the other was on the river bank. The ox cart was moving slowly and without much noise. However, Qin Yao subconsciously held her breath, fearing that she might be discovered by someone.
Unexpectedly, Yin Le might have installed some kind of 'Qin Yao locator' on him. He stood up and shouted excitedly: "Chief Qin!"
Okay, it's you!
Qin Yao shouted in a low voice, and the big blue ox stopped impatiently on the spot.
"Boss Qin, I already recognize him."
"Come to my house after you finish your work this afternoon."
Yin Le swallowed the "nine hundred and twenty-eight words" that were about to come out of his mouth, and stared blankly at the ox cart that continued to move slowly forward. After half a minute, he took a deep breath to avoid being knocked unconscious by this sudden surprise.
On the ox cart that was moving away, Qin Yao listened to the silly laughter coming from the river bank and shook her head, not knowing whether her decision was right or not.
Forget it, never mind, no matter what kind of cat it is, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat!
Thinking that Yin Le would come in the afternoon, Qin Yao returned home, ate a quick lunch, and started preparing in advance.
She has never been a master to anyone, but even if she has never eaten pork, hasn’t she seen a pig run?
He followed suit and prepared the incense table seriously. He also asked Li to prepare some melon seeds, candies and pork trotters, making it look very professional.
As soon as Li saw this, she guessed what Qin Yao was going to do. She felt that she was so serious and a little nervous that she thought she was cute.
"Madam, why do you suddenly want to accept a disciple?" Li asked with some envy.
Qin Yao was looking for a chair that would make her look dignified when she sat up, and answered sincerely, "We are short of manpower."
Li was stunned for a moment. Am I not a human being?
Or is it that the hands the lady was talking about were not the same as what she imagined?
Qin Yao raised her eyebrows. Of course not that kind of person. What she wanted was someone who was obedient and could fight.
It can also be called - Awang Pingti. (End of this chapter)
