Chapter 378 Abnormal Aesthetics
Juanjuan's face was full of confusion: "If it hurts so much, why do you still need to wrap it?"
"They think it looks good that way, but my uncle doesn't." Miao Jiu looked at the old woman outside the car window.
This is not beautiful at all, it's just a very distorted aesthetic.
"They asked the little sisters to bind their feet, so why don't they bind their feet? We should let them try it too." Juanjuan wrinkled her nose.
Miao Long was gone for a long time before returning, and when he came back he didn't bring the girl with him: "Master Jiu, I've bought it and sent it to Miao Miao."
"I understand, let's go!" Miao Jiu didn't plan to bring anyone home, he was not a good person.
The family who had just sold their daughter heard that someone was coming to buy their daughter, so they sold their daughter who was just starting to bind her feet without saying a word.
The girl had already fainted from the pain, and she didn't know that she had been sold by her parents to raise money for her brother to marry a wife.
Miao Long had the girl taken to the building, gave her the money and left.
The family received a bag of silver dollars and their eyes curved into crescents with smiles. They happily saw Miao Long off.
They were just about to go home to count their money when they felt extreme pain in their feet as they were leaving. The pain was so excruciating that they couldn't even stand.
He fell to the ground and began to groan in pain.
The neighbors around heard the noise and came over: "What's going on?"
"My feet hurt. It hurts when I walk." The family wailed.
The neighbors saw that their feet were not injured and there was nothing wrong with them, so they went to find a doctor to see them, but the doctor also did not find any problems.
But from then on, they felt excruciating pain whenever they walked on the ground, but they couldn't stay in bed for the rest of their lives.
In the end, I could only endure this excruciating pain.
Governor's Office.
"Grandma, brother, aunt, I'm back!" Juanjuan shouted into the house before he even entered.
Si Ning was teasing the three little ones, and when they heard her voice, their faces were all smiling: "Your sister is back!"
The triplets all looked towards the door, as if looking for Juanjuan.
As soon as Juanjuan came in, they waved their little hands as if to greet her.
"Everyone is happy and happy." Juanjuan ran over and held their little hands.
Si Ning looked at Miao Jiu who came in after him and asked, "Is everything settled?"
"Fortunately, Juanjuan and the little ones followed them." Miao Jiu looked at the little animals running past him to find Wu Ma.
When Wu Ma saw them, she smiled and touched one and then the other and asked, "Are you hungry?"
"Woof. Hungry."
"Cluck. Hungry."
"Ooooh. Very hungry."
"Chirp. Delicious."
"Wait, I'll get it for you." Aunt Wu's face was full of smiles.
The house feels a lot quieter without Juanjuan and these noisy little animals.
She thought that they would be hungry if they came back today, so she prepared a lot of delicious food for them, and now it finally came in handy.
Each little one's food bowl was filled to the brim, and I couldn't help but feel satisfied watching them eat with relish.
Siming was in the military governor's office, looking at Chen Yongnian who was sitting across from him: "Are you here to lobby again?"
"I have to put on a show, otherwise people will criticize me." Chen Yongnian smiled and picked up the teacup.
"What? What conditions are given this time?" Siming leaned casually on the sofa and flicked the non-existent dust on his military uniform with his fingers.
"They said you'll take over the General Administration of Customs next year, so I can retire at that time." Chen Yongnian smiled casually.
"When next year?" Siming raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
"During the autumn harvest." Chen Yongnian put down the teacup.
"They've made a good calculation. If the autumn harvest doesn't yield a good harvest, my position at the General Administration of Customs will be over."
"If I'm productive, they won't need me anymore, and this matter will be over."
Sima Ming had already figured out their plans.
"I heard that this idea was proposed by Pei Jingming, and the higher-ups thought it was a good one." Chen Yongnian wanted to roll his eyes after saying this.
"Hasn't Pei Jingming always wanted a position in the General Administration of Customs?" Siming looked at him with his hands clasped.
Chen Yongnian nodded: "If he hadn't made mistakes recently, the position of the next head of the General Administration of Customs might really be his."
"But over the past year or so, nothing he did went well, and he even caused the higher-ups to lose a lot of money. Many people are dissatisfied with him."
"He wants to take over the position of the next General Administration of Customs, so naturally he has to make some concessions."
Siming sneered, "Their abacus beads are about to fall on my face. So please tell them that there is surplus grain."
"It just so happened that the area under Governor Niu's jurisdiction was severely affected by a storm some time ago, and I sold all my excess grain to him."
"We really don't have enough grain to give to the northern government. We can only give the promised two acres of land as a gift."
"If they don't believe it, let them call Governor Niu and ask."
Chen Yongnian smiled and shook his head: "If the people above knew about this, I'm afraid they would be so angry that they would flip the table."
"How can you blame me for this? They're unwilling to pay, and they don't want to offer any substantial benefits. Are they asking me to pay for it?"
"The Beiyang City government still owes me money, why don't they make it up to me!" Si Ming said this with the intention of rolling his eyes.
"Okay, I'll report it truthfully in a moment." Chen Yongnian agreed with a smile.
He paused and said, "By the way, it hasn't rained in the south for two or three months. If it doesn't rain again, I'm afraid we'll be in trouble."
After hearing what he said, Siming also decided to organize people to dredge the city's sewers and the silt in various rivers.
They have well-developed waterways here, and if there is heavy rainfall, floods are likely to occur.
So every year he would ask people from the Beiyang government to organize people to do the work.
The autumn harvest is over this year, which is the slack season for farmers. The temperature will drop in the coming days, which will be unfavorable for cleaning.
Every time Chen Yongnian came out of the Governor's Office, he would act like a person cursing. In order to make it more realistic, he would curse Siming at the door of the Governor's Office.
Adjutant Qi looked at the man cursing downstairs, his face red with anger, and said, "This is really putting him in a difficult position."
Siming smiled and shook his head: "How are the female soldiers trained by Adjutant Min?"
"They are stronger than I thought. Even if they encounter the same situation as before, they can still deliver a fatal blow when the opponent lets down their guard."
"Soldiers who play this role have suffered a lot." After saying the last sentence, Adjutant Qi secretly looked at Siming's face.
"That's really asking for trouble. Let's make it harder for them. Go borrow some girls from Miao Long. Double the physical training for those who can't pass. This will end when they pass this level."
Sima Ming looked at him and gave orders.
