Shen Wenxuan cried for a long time before she stopped. She pulled out of Lin Zi's embrace and said in an accusing tone, "Why not? You said yesterday that you wouldn't ignore me, but today you left me."
"I promise I won't do it again. I mean it! I swear..."
Lin Zi raised three fingers seriously and was about to swear. When Shen Wenxuan saw this, he immediately covered his mouth and glared at him.
Seeing this, Lin Zi smiled, took Shen Wenxuan's hand in his and kissed it.
"I knew that Xiao Xuanxuan was the most generous!"
Shen Wenxuan immediately pulled her hand back, pouted, and said angrily: "No kissing! I'm still angry!"
"Are you still angry? If you don't let me do it myself..."
Lin Zi pretended to be distressed, then took advantage of the other person's inattention to kiss the slightly pouting red lips, and said with a slight curl of his lips: "Do you want me to kiss here?"
Shen Wenxuan blushed at the other party's behavior. He glanced away unnaturally and muttered, "That's not what I meant."
Lin Zi thought his little blushing face was cute, so he wanted to tease him again and came over with a wicked smile.
"Oh~ Then why are you pouting? Don't you want me to kiss you?"
"snort!"
In an instant, Shen Wenxuan's little face turned red as if blood was about to drip out. She was embarrassed and angry, and turned around and ignored Lin Zi.
"Okay, okay...I won't say anything more."
Seeing that the man was a little embarrassed and angry, Lin Zi immediately stopped. Then he remembered that he had not made any preparations last night, and wondered if he had hurt him, and he began to worry again.
He hugged the person and asked with concern: "I drank too much last night. Did I hurt you? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
Hearing Lin Zi ask this, Shen Wenxuan remembered the intimacy of last night and suddenly hid in the other's arms shyly.
"No... no, Yan Xuan treated me this morning."
"That's good. Are you tired? You must not have gotten much sleep last night. How about getting some sleep now?"
Seeing that the person was really fine, Lin Zi hugged the person in his arms and lay down, then pulled the quilt over to cover them both.
Shen Wenxuan still felt something was unreal. He was afraid that Lin Zi would leave while he was asleep. He tightly grasped Lin Zi's clothes and leaned nervously into his arms.
"Then you accompany me~"
"Okay~ Brother Zimo is here with you, just sleep well!"
Lin Zi noticed the uneasiness of the person in his arms, and his tone softened a lot. He carefully kissed the other's forehead, held him tightly in his arms, and rested with him.
Shen Wenxuan, who was already a little tired, quickly fell asleep in the arms of his lover.
The two people here were sleeping in each other's arms sweetly, while a group of people next door were discussing the planning of the city.
Qi Yanxuan called everyone to the reception room in the backyard. This was the meeting room specially reserved by Qi Yanxuan. In order to make it look more formal, a conference table was specially placed in the room.
As the city lord and the initiator of the meeting, Qi Yanxuan naturally sat in the main seat, while the others found their own seats. There were not so many rules anyway.
Qi Yanxuan looked at everyone and said, "Now that everyone is here, let's assign each of us the areas we will manage."
"Wait! Linzi and Wenxuan haven't arrived yet. Wenxiang, go call them."
As soon as Qi Yanxuan finished speaking, the village chief asked his eldest son to call the two of them. Now they were talking about serious matters! It wouldn't be too late to resolve the brothers' little conflict later.
"No, let's talk first! We'll talk about their work later."
Just as Shen Wenxiang was about to stand up, he was stopped by Qi Yanxuan.
Just kidding, Lin Zi is coaxing his wife! He said that nothing can be ruined.
When Shen Wenxiang heard this, he sat back down.
Qi Yanxuan was relieved to see that no one insisted on going to call for help. If he went over and saw something he shouldn't have seen, Lin Zi would probably be kicked out.
Then he looked at everyone and continued, "Then I'll continue."
"First, we need to build a waterwheel to transport water. Youqing, I'll leave this to you three brothers!"
"Then there are the bricklayers. Old Wen, you are responsible for teaching them how to build a kang."
"We need to prepare more charcoal. Brother Da Kui will be in charge of burning the charcoal."
"Guardians within the city are also essential, otherwise chaos will easily arise over time. The task of selecting and training the guards will be handed over to Chu Han, who is familiar with this."
"Also, we need to reclaim land and turn the mountains outside the city into terraced fields. Uncle Village Chief, I'll leave this to your family."
"Also, the management of the granary and the city's account registration will be handed over to Wen Liang. You can choose some literate and trustworthy people to help with the process, but you must review the accounts."
"You will each manage and recruit the people you need, and then have Wen Liang register the types of jobs one by one."
"There's a large granary in the city square. I'll be responsible for storing grain there, and the people will go there every day to collect grain as wages."
"If there are elderly single people and children in the city, then assign them some easy work as a form of care!"
"Doctor Xu, your job remains unchanged. You are still responsible for treating patients."
"Aqing and I will be the only ones to collect firewood for the winter. If there's anything in the city while I'm away, you can look for Old Wen and Linzi. They will be the deputy city lords of Yan'an City in the future."
"That's all for now. Does anyone have anything else to say?"
After explaining the situation, Qi Yanxuan looked at everyone present and asked them one by one.
The village chief thought for a moment and asked, "What should we plant on the reclaimed land? It's winter now, and we need crops that can withstand the cold."
"Don't worry about that. Plant potatoes. They have a high yield and can be used as a staple food or a dish. They can also be stored for a long time. As for the temperature issue, once the fields bloom, I'll let Linzi take charge of setting up the greenhouse. The temperature won't affect it."
Then he took out a potato from the space and showed it to everyone.
After everyone had looked at it and no one asked any more questions, he continued, "If there's no problem, then everyone can get back to work!"
Everyone nodded in agreement and then went about their own business.
For a time, the whole city was busy, the division of labor was very clear, and people could be seen sweating everywhere.
Although busy, no one in the city complained of being tired. Instead, they were very happy. Even the three-year-old children followed their families with smiles on their faces, helping with what they could.
Because they know that life is moving in a good direction, and there may be other difficulties in the future, but they all have great confidence that their city lord can lead them through it safely.
Because there were so many people and everyone worked together without anyone slacking off, the seemingly huge workload was completed in just a few days.
Everyone was racing against time, and soon the seeds were planted. Everyone looked at the staggered terraces with their eyes filled with hope and expectation.
…
Just when Yan'an City was developing steadily, another group of people came from Huaijiang.
