Chapter 269 Moon Bay Pier (1)
Chapter 269 Moon Bay Pier (1)
During dinner, Manager Hua told Li Lanzhen that the construction of the dock would begin tomorrow.
"Madam, what do you think would be a good name for the Moon Bay pier?"
Li Lanzhen was stunned for a moment, "Oh, oh, it's called Moon Bay Pier, it sounds nice and easy to remember!"
Shopkeeper Hua nodded.
"Shall we let Han Mingjiang and Shuiniu go together tomorrow?"
Li Lanzhen knew that Manager Hua wanted to give these two children some advice and let them gain more experience.
He nodded and said, "Okay, let them follow you, run errands, and learn more."
I turned around and saw Metasequoia's eager eyes.
He said to Shopkeeper Hua with a smile.
"Manager Hua, why don't you take the Metasequoia with you as well?"
Li Lanzhen also wanted to see how the dock was built.
Later, after thinking about it, I decided to let these young people go out and see the world.
If they left, and I left too, leaving behind Shuiniu Niang, Baoya Niang who was in confinement after giving birth, and these children, it would be inappropriate.
So I didn't say anything.
Shopkeeper Hua saw that Li Lanzhen seemed to be lost in thought and thought that she was thinking about building a small pier in Taohuayuan.
“Madam, after the Moon Bay Pier is built, if you need it, we can also build a pier in Taohuayuan, so that it will be convenient for you to go in and out.”
Li Lanzhen burst out laughing.
"Thank you, Manager Hua. We really need it. After the Moon Bay Pier is built, you can take people to Taohuayuan to build a small pier there as well."
In the evening, Buffalo Mother packed a backpack for her two sons and asked them to take all their bedding and blankets with them the next morning.
Manager Hua said he would stay there for three days.
Li Lanzhen also packed a backpack for Han Mingjiang.
Tomorrow morning, just pack up your bedding and carry it on your back.
The next morning, at dawn, there was already a lot of noise in the front hall of the Sifang Restaurant.
Li Lanzhen got up and saw that only the kang mat was left where Han Mingjiang, Shuiniu and the others had slept.
He quickly packed up and went to the lobby on the ninth floor.
She could hear it as she got closer, she heard the noisy voices of people.
When I went in, I saw that the hall was full of people who were already eating.
Han Mingjiang and others were also eating.
Li Lanzhen took a rough look and saw that there were about a hundred people.
Shopkeeper Hua is quite efficient. When he came back yesterday, he gathered so many workers.
After dinner, Li Lanzhen sent them out from the front door of Sifang Restaurant. They saw more than a dozen carts, three horse-drawn carts and two donkey carts parked in front.
Each vehicle was carrying a variety of tools.
With a lot of noise and a large crowd, the group of people building the dock left.
When Li Lanzhen came back, she saw Shuiniu Niang and Xiaoju already in the kitchen helping to clean up the dishes and wash them.
After Anji recovered over the past two days, he has been following Xiaoer all the time, being very sweet-mouthed, calling him "brother", and being very diligent.
The waiter liked him very much. When Li Lanzhen saw that Metasequoia had also gone to the Moon Bay Pier today, she picked up an axe and went to chop wood.
After chopping a pile of firewood, I saw Baoya coming with Xiaoju's sister and brother.
The two little girls deftly stacked the firewood that Li Lanzhen had chopped on the pile.
Little brother Xiaoju was still too young, so Li Lanzhen didn't let him move and let him play next to her.
Here the children have enough to eat and sleep warmly. They don’t have to worry about anything and are in a good mood, giggling all day long.
He is also very hardworking, with lively eyes, and will help out whenever he sees something.
The chefs and waiters in Sifang Restaurant all like them.
The ones who have changed the most are Bao Yaniang and her little brother.
The kitchen at the ninth floor of Sifang stews chicken and pig's trotters every day and serves the soup to Bao Yaniang.
So she had plenty of milk, and the little one ate well at every meal and slept soundly.
In three days, flesh grew on the little face, the skin became whiter, and the pair of black eyes opened wide, I wonder if he could see the people and light around him.
For two consecutive days, the Silver Fox did not show up, and Shopkeeper Hua and the people who were building the Moon Bay Wharf did not return either.
Li Lanzhen and Shuiniu Niang lived with their children in the backyard of the Sifang Restaurant.
That day, Li Lanzhen was sitting in the backyard basking in the sun, playing with a few children, chatting and laughing.
Xiaoju ran in from the front in a panic.
"Aunt, aunt, I just went out to get some water and saw the village chief!"
Li Lanzhen looked at her panic-stricken expression, stood up, patted her shoulder and said.
"Xiao Ju, don't be afraid, just don't show up in public again.
Can you tell me slowly what happened? "
Pulling Xiaoju to sit down, Buffalo Mother also hurried over from the front, lifting up her apron and wiping her hands as she walked.
Xiaoju told the two of them that she had just seen the village chief pass by.
It turned out that Xiaoju washed the vegetables and then took the water outside and poured it into the ditch.
When I turned around, I saw a group of people passing by.
She spotted the village chief in the crowd at a glance, and quickly hid in the yard, closed the door, opened it a crack, and watched secretly.
"It was the police! It was the police who were holding them, the village chief and his children and grandchildren.
There were several people from the village following behind.
Oh, there is also the village chief of Xiahe Village, and a few uncles and uncles following. "
Li Lanzhen and Shuiniu Niang looked at each other and began to comfort her.
“Don’t be afraid, it should be a good thing. I told Manager Hua about the village chief’s bullying behavior in the village that day. I guess the government has taken action.
He reported this to the Youzhou government office. It should be the people from the government office who went to Shanghe Village to investigate and arrested them.
This is a good thing, don't be afraid, we should do what we should do."
Just as the few people quieted down, the waiter hurried to the backyard and said when he saw Li Lanzhen.
"Auntie, we have someone to get the news. Don't panic. I will tell you when the result comes out. Just stay in the yard and take good care of the child."
After giving a few instructions, he hurried out.
Li Lanzhen and Shuiniu Niang both agreed.
Buffalo Mother hurried back into the house and comforted her eldest daughter-in-law.
Her daughter-in-law is a sensitive person. She is afraid that after hearing the news, she will become frightened and emotionally agitated, and her milk will stop flowing. Her grandson will have nothing to eat, and both mother and son will suffer.
In the evening, the waiter came to tell Li Lanzhen.
When Li Lanzhen saw his smiling face, she knew it must be good news, and she also said it with a smile.
"Little Second Brother, this should be good news, right?"
"Auntie, you are really smart. The head of Shanghe Village is a tyrant in the village, bullying the people, and forcibly collecting tolls from Xiahe Village when they pass through their village.
He was sentenced to two years in prison, and his two sons were also sentenced to one year in prison.”
When Buffalo Mother heard this, she asked quickly.
"Little Brother, who is the head of Shanghe Village?"
The waiter laughed and said, "The prefect asked all 30 people in Xiahe Village to move to Shanghe Village.
The head of Xiahe Village will serve as the head of Shanghe Village. There will be no Xiahe Village in the future.”
The buffalo lady said, “Ah, the two villages have been merged?
Good! This is great. I know the head of Xiahe Village. He is a kind person who is fair in his work and treats the villagers very well! "
Li Lanzhen looked at the excited Buffalo Mother and asked.
"Big sister, do you still want to go back? To Shanghe Village?"
