Chapter 42 Magistrate Zhang's Choice



Following Wu Yuehua's lead, the Shen family was soon shaken by the crying, and the sound was about to blow the roof off the house.

Family members need to release their emotions.

Seeing her family crying, Chen Xinli couldn't help crying too.

But she quickly wiped away her tears and thought about what to do.

While the Shen family was crying, no one in the village came to the Shen family's door to watch the joke.

They still have their days.

It was now two o'clock in the morning, and the water in the reservoir, after being scorched by the sun all morning, was ready to irrigate the wheat fields.

The time for grouting water can be between Chenzheng and Wuchu (8 am - 11 am) and Shenzheng and Youzheng (4 pm - 6 pm).

Between watching the fun and having enough food, the villagers decisively chose the latter and joined the team watering the wheat fields one after another.

Let the wheat drink water early so that the wheat stalks can be filled with nutrients.

The villagers did not dare to delay for a moment, as the grouting water was already quite late for some time.

But as long as there is a little hope, the farmers don't want to give up.

Even Li Lai Tou and others started weeding in the fields after watering the land.

***

Xiping County Yamen.

"Li Yashi, please have some tea! This is the finest West Lake Longjing. We won't discuss business today; this is just a welcome for Mr. Li."

Besides, the discovery of an underground canal in the county is a major event for the people of our northern land. I will offer tea instead of wine as a token of my respect.

Although the bailiff had no actual rank, the two officers came from the capital. Zhang Jinnian thought of how he had been rescued by the Shen family, and he was in a dilemma all the way.

After all, Master Li retired from the capital.

Master Li was a close friend of Zhang Jinnian's father, and he had worked in the Ministry of Works in his early years. Regarding the developments in the capital, Master Li had only one piece of advice: Don't interfere, or you might get into trouble.

Therefore, Zhang Jinnian was very troubled.

However, when they arrived at the county government office, they saw that the entrance was surrounded by people in three layers. When they saw him coming back, they all looked at him with anticipation.

Zhang Jinnian finally made up his mind: for the sake of the Shen family, he would ask for a favor from these two people.

This is not only what he owes to the Shen family, but also what the people of the north owe to the Shen family.

In Xiping County, with the water being diverted from the culvert in Qianniu Village this morning, excavation progress in other villages is also proceeding intensively.

From now on, all descendants in the north will remember this family.

Zhang Jinnian quickly made a choice.

"Thank you, Master Zhang."

Li Xiang's mouth twitched. This county magistrate was too ignorant.

They rushed to Qianniu Village early in the morning and were already hungry. Do they really need to go out and buy some food?

"Gurgle...Gurgle."

Li Xiang was extremely embarrassed and glared at Kuai Wei standing beside him.

Zhang Jinnian was stunned.

He was anxious and had not yet prepared a welcoming lunch for the two officials.

Then he looked at the servant beside him and said, "Go and tell the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes to welcome Mr. Li today."

The servant got the news and left.

Zhang Jinnian was considering his words, as he still had no idea of ​​the official's attitude towards the Shen family.
