"The Salted Fish Village that Miss Xu mentioned is the one where many Qin family members live?"
"Yes, most of the people there have the surname Qin."
"The water level there has not receded by half yet." The county magistrate sighed. He had a deep impression of the Qin family in Xianyu Village because on the first day he took office, several people with the surname Qin came to the county government office to make trouble.
At that time, the county magistrate could not understand the local dialect, and it was only after a young man translated for him that he understood.
"Does the girl have any friends in the village?" the county magistrate asked quickly after he finished explaining.
"I'm not a friend, we just got along for a while. But I remember the new village chief is a sensible person. Why would he bring the people here to make trouble?" Xu Ning didn't understand, but she didn't understand the situation at the time, so she was afraid that there was some difficulty.
"The leader was not the village chief, who was injured at the time. It was other people who came to cause trouble. But this is also my fault. My wife accidentally hurt the common people, and they happened to hear it. Later, the yamen runners also had a few words with them, and the matter became a big deal." Later, the people of Xianyu Village turned a disaster into a blessing. The county magistrate was a good one, and Xianyu Village was also one of the villages worst hit by the disaster, so the county magistrate first placed them in an empty village further inland.
Xu Ning asked about the location and found out that it was in two directions from Xianyu's original location, so she gave up the idea of going there.
"If you want to go to the old site of Xianyu Village, it's convenient. The water level has not receded in recent years, so I had someone build a new dock there. When Xu Ning returns to Haicheng, he can board the ship there as well."
"That's great." Xu Ning said with a smile. They talked about post-disaster reconstruction and before they knew it, it was late at night again.
At noon the next day, Xu Ning and Jiang Yan, who had rested enough, were ready to set off for the former site of Xianyu Village. As soon as they walked out of the gate of the house, they met a carriage of an acquaintance.
"Miss Xu!"
"Boss Hai!" Xu Ning saw the carriage stop and just as she lifted the curtain, she heard someone calling her. She looked over and saw that it was the grain merchant Boss Hai.
Ever since Xu Ning introduced him to Qi Canglan many years ago, he has not taken over the grain business. It is really fate that he met Hai Qing in Shanglu County this time.
"Miss Xu, how are you?" Hai Qing still looked as gentle as jade. The passage of a few years had left no trace on him.
Xu Ning has completely changed in the past few years. She replied to Hai Qing with a smile: "As for me, as Boss Hai sees, Chunchun has grown up."
"Hahaha, Miss Xu is still as humorous and witty as ever."
"Boss Hai, didn't I hear that you moved out of the old house? Why are you back to Shanglu County?" Xu Ning thought about Hai Qing's old job. It wasn't long before the first quarter's grain harvest, so he might have come back to collect grain again.
"The grain in Shanglu County is of good quality this year, so I came to see it myself."
"Boss Hai is still the one who is dedicated to his work."
"No, Miss Xu, are you catching a boat? I'm also planning to take a boat to Haicheng, so why don't we go together?"
"Why not?" After Xu Ning finished speaking, Hai Qing tactfully asked someone to make way for Xu Ning's carriage.
Xu Ning and Hai Qing's conversation lasted less than a quarter of an hour, and Jiang Yan didn't press them. When the carriage started again, Xu Ning remembered that he had forgotten to tell Jiang Yan.
However, Jiang Yan was in another carriage, so it would not be appropriate for her to shout at him now. She could only get off the carriage and explain to him.
Jiang Yan didn't expect Xu Ning to explain such a small matter to him. He felt inexplicably happy and even liked the fat fox who always liked to squeeze between him and Xu Ning.
The fat fox followed Xu Ning onto the boat, wagging its big fluffy tail. This was its first time on a boat, and it was so curious that it ran around everywhere on the boat. Xu Ning was afraid that it would fall into the sea, so he hurriedly asked Jiang Yi to keep an eye on it.
"Aning, look, does that cliff look familiar to you?"
