Chapter 211: Comprehensive
Ding Gaochang ordered: "Also, call more people tomorrow to avoid any trouble. When I go back later, call some people to help me persuade those people at the yamen gate to go back first."
"Yes, sir." The two yamen runners responded.
One of them, Shen Quan, praised with all his heart: "This Miss Zhuang is really a perceptive girl. When I first saw her, I thought we had found the wrong person. I really didn't expect that there is such a young girl."
"Yeah, I didn't expect that either." Shi Bao nodded: "Looking at the look of this Miss Zhuang, she seems to have a way to deal with it. I guess it should be possible to accomplish this tomorrow."
"Yeah." Ding Gaochang nodded.
I hope so.
"By the way, in addition to the things Miss Zhuang just mentioned, Shi Bao, you should go to the cloth shop and find a veil and prepare it tomorrow." Ding Gaochang ordered.
"Oh?" Shi Bao was immediately surprised: "Why is this?"
"Miss Zhuang's trip will definitely draw the hatred of the charlatan's accomplices. We are willing to eliminate them, but we may not be able to eliminate them completely. We may face retaliation in the future. Miss Zhuang has already helped us a lot. If she is implicated again because of this matter, it will be very inappropriate."
Ding Gaochang said: "By then, Miss Zhuang will cover her face with a veil, and others will not know her face, so naturally they will have no way to find her. This can be regarded as us doing our part for Miss Zhuang."
"Yes, sir, you have thought it through carefully. I will prepare it when I get back." Shi Bao agreed readily.
"And tomorrow may be very chaotic, so you must protect Miss Zhuang first," Ding Gaochang ordered.
"Yes." Shen Quan and Shi Bao answered loudly.
Ding Gaochang explained some other things, and the three of them went to the county government office and went about their business. Zhuang Qingning was busy in the shop until Zhuang Sifu brought his things back, and then they all went home.
After a short rest, Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui went to take a look around the new house.
At this time, the house has been completely built, the walls inside the house have been painted with white lime, the doors and windows have been installed, the inside and outside have been cleaned, and some of the furniture that Zhuang Qingning asked Ye Dayong to help customize has also been neatly placed.
Just wait for the remaining furniture to be delivered and then arrange the soft items.
Zhuang Qingning bought everything he could think of for the time being. As for the remaining things he really couldn't think of, he planned to wait until he moved in and then slowly buy more things based on what he would need.
In the yard, the stone table and stone benches she wanted had already been placed, the ground was paved with blue bricks, leaving flower beds for planting flowers, and space for planting vegetables in the corners. The rest of the space had also been planted with the trees that were to be planted.
There were two osmanthus trees that had not yet grown up, several peach and apricot trees, and a few grape trees that were bought at Ye Dayong's suggestion. Two large water vats were also placed in the yard, and several lotus plants were moved in.
At this moment, the lotus leaves are green and the lotus flowers are in bud, reflecting the slowly setting sun, which is very beautiful. Under the lotus leaves are a few small koi fish swimming flexibly.
Zhuang Qingsui strolled around the yard for a long time, and finally came to Zhuang Qingning and said, "Sister, our new house is well built, and the yard is also beautifully decorated, but I think there is something missing."
"What is that?" Zhuang Qingning was looking at the hollow coins and was wondering whether he should plant a row of roses at the base of the wall.
When the roses climb up the flower wall in spring and summer, the whole wall will be full of roses in bloom, which will surely be a beautiful sight.
As for the wall, it would not look good if it was painted white, and it would be a bit monotonous if only the blue bricks were exposed. It would be better to use the thick bamboo poles that have been drained of moisture to make a tall, short, uneven bamboo wall on the wall. This way, no matter whether you decorate it with flowers and plants or hang any other decorations on it, it should look good.
Zhuang Qingning was thinking about this, and when he heard Zhuang Qingsui say that something was missing, he immediately became very interested: "What is missing? Tell me about it."
"We need a swing." Zhuang Qingsui said with a grin, "If we can build a swing, it would be great to swing on it in the yard to cool off."
"That's a good idea." Zhuang Qingning nodded. "Let me ask Uncle Dayong if he knows anyone who can make a swing. Let's make a slightly better one and put it here."
Zhuang Qingning pointed to the side of the stone table and chairs and said, "In the summer, the grape trellis next to it will definitely be cool. In the winter, it will also be able to get some sun here, and it will be warm and comfortable."
"That's what I said." Zhuang Qingsui nodded: "When the time comes, I'll get a puppy and let it run around in the yard. It will be fun to watch it make trouble."
Zhuang Qingsui was talking excitedly. Seeing that Zhuang Qingning didn't say yes or no, he blinked and said, "Sister, don't you like raising dogs?"
"That's not the case. I think we can get another cat, so that the house will be more lively." Zhuang Qingning said with a smile, "We have to talk to Aunt He about this. Aunt He knows which dog has made a nest and which cat is about to give birth. Ask her later. If anyone has one, we can go and get one when it's one month old."
"Okay." Zhuang Qingsui nodded excitedly.
The cats and dogs in the village are semi-free-range. They usually guard the house, but they take a walk around in their spare time. There is no sterilization, so many cats and dogs are often pregnant. But if they were to keep all the puppies at home, the family would not be able to bear it, so they have to give them away. Therefore, it is not difficult for these cats and dogs to find a puppy. They just need to ask who has one, go to the door and ask for it, and give them a few eggs.
When Zhuang Qingsui thought about having two furry creatures at home to keep her and her sisters company in the future and being able to reach out and touch their smooth fur, she excitedly wanted to run a few laps in the yard.
Zhuang Qingning looked at Zhuang Qingsui, whose face was filled with excitement, and reached out to touch her little head.
This child's happiness is really very simple.
The two sisters discussed some other things in the yard, then went back together, made dinner, and went to the tofu shop to take a look. Then they got up early the next morning to go to the tofu shop to check out the tofu.
Just like usual.
When we arrived at the tofu shop, Ding Gaochang was already waiting at the door.
"Miss Zhuang." Seeing Zhuang Qingning coming over, Ding Gaochang bowed.
"Master Ding." Zhuang Qingning bowed and said, "Please wait for a moment, Master Ding. I will go with you after I have arranged everything for you."
"It's okay, Miss Zhuang, just take care of your own things first." Ding Gaochang said. Seeing Zhuang Qingning and others carrying tofu, dried tofu, bean sprouts and other things into the shop, he and Shen Quan helped to move all the things into the shop and put them in place one by one.
"Miss Zhuang, this tofu..." Ding Gaochang couldn't help smacking his lips when he smelled the aroma of the hot tofu and said, "The taste of this tofu smells similar to the tofu used in Hanfenglou in the county town."
Very very similar.
