There is a little cute baby in the family, fleeing famine is not enough to get rich and busy

Chapter 223 What is the county magistrate looking for you for?
When Qi Manman heard his mother calling him, he looked sideways.

A pair of big eyes were a little straight, blinking like in slow motion, and just about to open his mouth to speak, he yawned directly.

The small body fell backwards, and Qi Cheng who was on the side hurriedly supported the back of her head with his hands.

Qi Manman let her grandma take care of her to lie down, and at the same time muttered: "It's just for the person brought back by Daddy..."

The sound became smaller and smaller, and finally turned into a soft snore.

"This kid, I think it's coming soon."

Qi Cheng said it disgustingly, but the actions of arranging her granddaughter's hair and covering her with a quilt were very gentle.

Yi Meng didn't think about those things at this time, all her thoughts were on the words her daughter said before she fell asleep.

Brother Jin wants to bring someone back?
Could it be that the original villager was "picked up" in the city again?

Although they have accepted Ji Hu and the others to join, it does not mean that they are willing to accept more people from the original village.

"Meng Niang, what do you think about this?"

Qi Zheng asked Yimeng.

Yi Meng pursed her lips and thought for a while, then said: "Father, let's wait for brother Jin to come back to discuss the details! We always have to see if he really brought someone back first, and we also have to see what he brought back." It’s only when people come back.”

Qi Zheng nodded: "That's right. Then don't think about it too much, listen to your mother, go back and rest!"

Qi Zheng didn't know that his fourth daughter-in-law was pregnant again, if he knew, he would definitely not bother her to come here.

Yi Meng didn't feel anything special.

When I was pregnant with those three boys before, I really wanted to vomit, but this pregnancy was very stable.

Yi Meng suspected that it was the function of the spring water in space, but she had no proof.

Just as Yi Meng left, Qi Cheng took care of her little granddaughter to fall asleep, and whispered to Qi Zheng at the same time: "Old man, do you think you should let the rest of the family take a pulse?"

"What are you looking at? Aren't they all pretty good?"

Qi Zheng didn't understand.

The fourth daughter-in-law only took her pulse when she was pregnant. Who would take the initiative to find a doctor to take her pulse when nothing happens on weekdays!
Although they have two doctors in their family, it doesn't mean that they have to ask for a peace pulse from time to time like those big families.

Qi Cheng gave her a blank look, and said angrily: "The fourth daughter-in-law is pregnant, but I can't guarantee that the other daughter-in-laws are also pregnant, so I just said I didn't pay attention."

After finishing speaking, Qi Cheng felt that it was not enough to talk to the old man, so he said, "Forget it, I won't tell you, I will take them to the gentlemen directly."

"You old woman, why did you hear that the wind is the rain? Why did you get pregnant together? What's the matter, the mother-in-law is staying at your house?"

Qi Zheng said so, but his movements were very coordinated. He had already bent down to arrange the old wife's shoes, and then supported her arm, allowing her to get off the kang safely.

Qi Cheng didn't talk to him about this at all. After putting on his shoes and jacket, he left the house.

Daughters-in-law are pregnant, which is a good thing.

Qi Cheng's mother-in-law is naturally very happy.

But Qi Cheng was also worried that these daughters-in-law would be like Yi Meng, they would be so stupid that they didn't know anything.

If something happens accidentally, it will be something they can regret for a lifetime.

While walking, Qi Cheng was thinking about who should do the family affairs if all the daughters-in-law in the family were pregnant.

Before, the boys at home were all busy with outside affairs. Now that I think about it, I should assign a few to stay at home and take care of family affairs.

In a blink of an eye, it was dark, and the men who had entered the city finally came back.

Along the way, everyone was not as nervous as they were when they went there. The main reason was that the gold had been exchanged for silver notes, and there were only about a hundred or so taels of broken silver and copper coins.

Since everyone was carrying silver and copper coins, they didn't get out of the car in advance, but went directly to the main room of Qi's family and handed over all the money to Quan Jin. After confirming that the amount was correct, everyone dispersed.

"Just go and change some money, why did you come back so late?"

Qi Cheng was watching his daughters-in-law setting up dinner, but seeing that the outsiders had left, he asked Quan Jin.

Qi Quanjin sighed, seeing that Qi Zheng was also there, he said: "When I arrived in the city, I was called to the county government office by the county magistrate. I wasted some time, so I came back late."

"What does the magistrate want you to do?"

Qi Zheng's eyebrows jumped, and he subconsciously looked at Qi Manman who was sitting on a chair beside him and playing with Qi Shilang.

Quan Quanjin took the water bowl handed over by Qi Silang, drank it all in one gulp, and then replied: "The magistrate of the county will arrange for some people to enter our village."

"What?"

This sound came from Qi Zheng and Qi Cheng.

The faces of both of them were very complicated, and it was hard to say whether it was accident, shock or anything else.

Quan Quanjin wiped his mouth: "They are all migrants who fled here from other places like us. They didn't get along well with the people in the original village. They were run out and made troubles. The officials of the county government almost every day. I have to go to those villages many times."

"That's why the county magistrate thinks that there are few people in our Yongping village, so he has to arrange them all here."

Qi Qijin sighed after finishing speaking: "I thought it would be good if there were more people, but it's cold and there is no place to live."

He didn't pay attention to the reactions of his family members, and Qi Quanjin told him all the ideas given to him by the county magistrate in one breath.

"The magistrate of the county said that those people are also people who have lived a hard life. Before the weather is the coldest, let them come over and build a straw shed to live in, and then go to the mountain to chop some wood and build a A log cabin to get through the winter."

"However, the county magistrate also said that another [-] mu of wasteland will be set aside for our village, and it will be put in my hands. I will sell it to those outsiders, and nine of the money will be handed over to the county government, and the rest will be left to our family. .”

After listening to Quan Jin's words, both Qi Zheng and Qi Cheng's mouths were full of bitterness, and they didn't know what to say.

Yi Meng was also there at this time, and after listening to it, the eyes of his little girl became more complicated.

Isn't this just catering to what the little girl said, building a house for outsiders to live in?

"I thought about it and couldn't shirk it, so I agreed. As for the [-] mu of land, I decided to set it on both sides of our current village. I didn't want the sandy land on the other side of the road."

Quan Qijin sighed: "According to the wishes of the magistrate, it is estimated that someone will come over in two or three days. Dad, can you see if we first build a few straw huts for them to live in?"

"The straw hut can't be built in a day, and they won't have a place to live, and we can't really watch them freeze outside."

"Let's prepare in advance, and save the vacant houses of each family."

Quan Quanjin also expressed his thoughts.

Qi Zheng had already slowed down at this time, and sighed after hearing it: "Then let's do this first!"

It is better to work hard to build a few thatched huts than to let outsiders live in your own yard.

The vacant house in their house was used for growing things. Now that they want to clean it up to live in, it's tantamount to pulling out all the things they planted, and he can't bear it.
