After the raid on Qitian Village, it can be confirmed that the area within a hundred miles around the county has become an absolute safe zone, and no petty thief would run into this area to seek death.
At Lin Hai's request, the twenty-sixth brother Shi Ming worked overnight to produce three village boundary markers under the jurisdiction of Qinghe County.
Yes, with the continuous increase in population, Qinghe County is finally going to move out of the county seat and build its own subordinate villages.
The new village crossed the Jinjiang River and was fan-shaped distributed dozens of miles south of the Jinjiang River. It not only expanded the scope of Qinghe County, but also established a solid barrier for the Qinghe Industrial Zone on the edge of the Jinjiang River. Of course, this could only be considered after the construction of the village militia was completed.
However, for Lin Hai, the groundbreaking ceremony of the three villages was not the happiest thing. The villagers who were about to move into the villages consciously completed the groundbreaking ceremony of the villages in accordance with tradition. Anyway, with the support of cement, whether it was the construction of village houses or village walls, the construction progress was far beyond expectations.
What really made Lin Hai happy was that Qinghe County welcomed her first new life.
Yes, all the midwives in Qinghe - there are only four of them in total - have jointly predicted that a new life will be born this morning.
Lin Hai, who had just attended the groundbreaking ceremony, rushed back to the county town without stopping. There was a newly built Qinghe First Hospital there. Although it was converted from a former medical clinic, at Lin Hai's strong request, all prenatal checkups, delivery and postpartum care for pregnant women should be completed in Qinghe First Hospital, and it would be free of charge.
The entire Qinghe County was in motion. Even except Lin Hai, no one was willing to leave the city to watch the ceremony in the three villages, which made the three newly appointed village chiefs very dissatisfied, but no one cared.
The construction of the village can start a day earlier or a day later. Even if everyone works harder during the construction period, it can be completed on schedule even if the construction starts a few days later. But you can't ask the baby to be born a few days later.
When a pregnant woman appeared in Qinghe County, everyone's heart would be filled with hope. At least in the eyes of the people of Qinghe County, this was the real and tangible hope.
Speaking of the time when they fled, there were pregnant women. There were also pregnant women during the years of hiding in the old forest. Even among the women who were abducted by the mountain kings to the mountain strongholds, there were pregnant women. However, most of them did not survive to give birth to their children. In a real bandit stronghold, the appearance of a pregnant woman means that the woman cannot work or sleep with the leaders for a considerable period of time, so they will not keep the pregnant woman.
For a long time, the human beings on this land have cut off all possibilities of inheritance due to misfortune either from heaven or from their own actions.
But now, a new life was born in the brand new delivery room of the newly built hospital in Xinqinghe County.
According to Lin Hai's previous instructions, everything in the delivery room must be new, including the furniture and daily necessities. This new life deserves a brand new start.
When Lin Hai arrived at the hospital gate, it was crowded with people. Since the runners sent by the county government did not allow outsiders to enter the delivery room to disturb the mother and the newborn, the neighbors from all over the county simply gathered on the street outside the hospital, talking about Qinghe's first new life in various words of blessing.
The new father tried to entertain this large group of guests. He hurriedly took out the traditional red eggs and some melon seeds, but no one took them. A mother who had given birth told him that it would be better to save the eggs for the pregnant woman to nourish her body, and as for the melon seeds, which weighed less than a pound, there was really no way to satisfy everyone. So everyone lined up neatly, and each person took a melon seed as a sign of accepting the hospitality, and put down their gifts at the hospital entrance. They might be two eggs, or a fish that had just been caught, or even a piece of bacon that he had smoked for who knows how long and was reluctant to eat it, but could also be used for self-defense. Soon, the hospital entrance was full of things, and the yamen runners had to bring in a few baskets for everyone to put the gifts in according to their categories, instead of piling them up at the hospital entrance and blocking traffic.
After doing all this, no one wanted to leave. Some people took out the small stools they brought with them, and those who lived nearby simply brought their own tables, chairs and benches, and boiled a few pots of tea, and started chatting with the neighbor next door who they didn't know at all.
At this moment, the people who were still unable to squeeze in at the street corner shouted, "Move aside! County Magistrate Wang and Lord Lin are here."
Many people saw Lin Hai riding out of the city before dawn in the morning, saying that he was going to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of three villages outside the city, and Wang Liang also went to the industrial zone, reportedly to inspect the first batch of standard weapons. In short, no one thought they would be able to come back so soon, but they really came back.
Lin Hai quickly spotted the new father in the crowd. This might be the first time for the young man to enjoy the feeling of being the center of attention, with everyone surrounding him. Of course, it would be a different story if a baby appeared at this time.
Lin Hai quickly stepped forward, extending his hand to stop the man from saluting. He glanced at Wang Liang, and they both pulled out a red envelope from their pockets and stuffed it into the young man's arms. "Congratulations, are you and your child safe? Is it a boy or a girl?"
"Yes, yes, thank you, County Lieutenant, thank you, Lord Lin..." The young man was both nervous and excited, especially when he saw Lin Hai, who was usually stern and could hang a captured bandit at the city gate at the slightest disagreement, looking at him with a friendly face. He suddenly had a new understanding of the entire county government: "It's all safe, it's all safe. It's a boy, to answer your Excellency, it's a boy..."
