Chapter 88 Rebuilding Kuding Lane

On the second day, Meng Heyin got up early to wash up, and was going to Kuding Lane to check the situation.

The morning sun is just right for doing something fun.

Meng Heyin ran around the yard a few times, noticed the bell hanging from the eaves, and suddenly became playful.

She jumped up to reach the bell, one time was not enough, there were two or three times, and when she left, the bell was still ringing wildly.

Meng Heyin didn't bring Luwei and Baimiao, and walked towards Kuding Lane alone, and bought two steaming buns along the way.

When Meng Heyin walked to Kuding Lane, the first thing she saw was a new notice board.Next to the notice board, a set of tables and chairs was set up, with paper and pens prepared on it, but no one came yet.

There were many people watching around, and Meng Heyin squeezed in after eating the steamed stuffed buns, only to find that things were not serious.Just because the notice said: The government wants to rebuild Kuding Lane, so it recruits skilled craftsmen who can draw and a large number of bricklayers and plasterers, the remuneration is favorable, and the housing problem can also be solved.

OK!Who exactly did this?Stealing her idea? !

At this moment, a well-dressed young man came surrounded by the yamen servants. The young man went straight to the table and chair and sat down, picked up a pen, and said to the side.

"If you are interested, sign up here."

Some people did not believe such a good thing, and asked, "Is it true or false that the above said one hundred Wen a day?"

The boy replied: "The notice issued by the government is naturally true."

"You said it was issued by the government, but how can our county have so much money?"

The young man squinted his eyes: "Of course the government doesn't have enough money. In fact, the county magistrate admitted his guilt and confiscated all his private property to make atonement."

The onlookers immediately yelled: "Three hundred cash a day, you can earn one or two taels of silver in a few days! How can such a good thing usually happen?! Me, me, me! Sign me up first!"

A person rushed up, and the people next to him were still a little bit in disbelief. Seeing someone taking the lead, they also rushed up to line up.

Meng Heyin blinked.

One hundred Wen a day is indeed more like doing charity.You must know that the people's livelihood in Qiongzhou County is in decline, and the economy is also in a downturn. She just bought two buns for only two cents.

More importantly... If she read correctly, this person is her hapless fiancé, Xue Jing's son Xue Luozhou?

Meng Heyin wanted to go up and ask, but people knew the content of the notice, and the registration office was extremely crowded, with at least three layers of people inside and out.The young man inside could only hear shouting: "Name, age, where do you live, what did you do? Bricklayer, good."

"Next person."

Meng Heyin wasn't in a hurry, he just stood by the notice and waited, and when he encountered illiterate people who came to see it, he would kindly tell him the content on it.

"The above actually says that the government recruits workers, one hundred yuan a day, and manages food and housing."

"If you want to sign up, go to the back and line up, don't crowd here."

The girl's clear voice came from the next door, and it fell into Xue Luozhou's ears. It always felt a little familiar.He wanted to see who it was, but was completely blocked by the people who came to sign up.

After a while, Xue Luozhou's hand was sore from writing, and the deed papers on the table were piled up thickly, and the number of people who signed up finally decreased.

At this moment, Xue Luozhou finally saw the person who read the notice for him, so he glanced over and unconsciously froze.

Meng Heyin had been waiting for him to pay attention to her, and when she saw her looking over, she waved her hand and smiled brightly: "Hi~"

"..."

Xue Luozhou sighed, he should have thought of it a long time ago, the voice that he would feel familiar but couldn't distinguish must be this fake Meng Heyin.

His reaction was not happy, but Meng Heyin was a very familiar person.She walked to the table and chairs, and said naturally, "How many people are here?"

"More than 200."

"There are still a lot of people." Meng Heyin scratched his chin, "Can you tell me, how did you come up with the idea of ​​rebuilding Kuding Lane?"

Hearing this sentence, Xue Luozhou was surprised: "What do you mean?"

"I don't think that old man of yours would think about rebuilding this place."

Meng Heyin said this very frivolously, and seemed to know Xue Jing very well.Xue Luozhou smiled bitterly, "This is what he should do."

Meng Heyin raised his eyebrows: "He will do what he should do?"

During the conversation between the two, there were only a few people who signed up.Meng Heyin didn't plan to leave yet, and it was obvious that he would not give up until he achieved his goal.Xue Luozhou could only talk to Meng Heyin after the people who had processed the applications.

At this moment, two people were suddenly picked up at the end of the line.

Unfortunately, Meng Heyin was very familiar with those two people, she frowned and walked over: "Miss Ji, are you pregnant?"

The people queuing up were indeed Huai Nian in old clothes and Ji Qiao in filial piety. When they saw Meng Heyin approaching, they did not wait for her to ask, so they recruited them truthfully: "I heard that the city is recruiting workers, and the salary is very good. Come here and sign up."

Ji Qiao's frank explanation of her intentions made it seem that Meng Heyin was very unkind.

"There's no need to explain." Meng Heyin smiled awkwardly and replied.

At this time, the people in front had already left, and it was Ji Qiao's turn.

Xue Luozhou had just watched their conversation, and knew that they were familiar.Even so, when he saw Ji Qiao, he still frowned and asked, "You are a woman, why do you come to do such a job."

Ji Qiao said: "My lord, the notice did not say that women are not allowed to apply."

Xue Luozhou was very embarrassed, "It's true that I didn't say that, but this is the default..."

"I beg your lord, I am a first-class citizen. I have nowhere to go in this city. We don't want money, we just ask for food and lodging."

"It's not that I don't want to pay, it's just..." Xue Luozhou was very helpless. The woman was still wearing filial piety, and she must have come out to work because she had no one in her family. As she said, there was no place for her to go in this city.

Huainian came out from behind and said, "I can do the work of two people by myself, so please accept my sister."

Alas, this is still a child. Because of the pressure of life, he actually wants to talk about working two jobs.Xue Luozhou felt very uncomfortable, and hated these years of debauchery even more.

He looked at Meng Heyin, and Meng Heyin immediately took Ji Qiao's hand and said, "This is my sister. She wants to work with you, what's the problem?"

Xue Luozhou had seen Meng Heyin's ability to make up things, so he shook his head helplessly, "No problem."

"Okay." Meng Heyin said, "Look at your notice, migrant workers here can solve the housing problem. My sister doesn't need wages, but after the reconstruction, it's okay to want a house here, right?"

Xue Luozhou snorted coldly, "You've already made arrangements, why are you asking me?"

Meng Heyin smiled triumphantly, and took out a piece of deed paper for Ji Qiao to sign, and another piece for Huainian, who knew that Huainian couldn't write, so he pressed his fingerprints.

After finishing everything, Meng Heyin said happily: "This is the best, and in a few months, you will be able to live in a new house."

Ji Qiao saluted Meng Heyin: "Thank you, Miss Meng."

Since Ji Qiao left Luojiangzhai, she has been keeping a distance from herself, especially after someone insulted her yesterday, but she was afraid that the news about Luojiangzhai would hurt her reputation.

Meng Heyin knew this well. Although she didn't care about it, it would make Ji Qiao feel better, so she didn't object and accepted the gift with peace of mind.

Several people chatted and laughed for a while, and saw an extremely slender figure coming from the street.

Meng Heyin looked over, it was Mingrong.

He was dressed in a lake-blue shirt, walking towards him with fragments of light shining all over his body.

　Thanks to Homecoming wx for the recommendation ticket! !Red bean puree arigado!thank you very much! !
　　Xue Luozhou felt a little helpless, this unlucky boy could only be cruel to his father.
