I have been ill for almost two months. I have to go back to the doctor every week and take medicine every day. The weekly medicine costs four to five hundred yuan, which is a lot of trouble and money. So I had to follow the doctor's advice and take a good rest. I haven't touched the computer for almost two months. , finally got a lot better. Thank you to the friends who cared about Xiaowu. I also hope that after returning this time, I can no longer leave because of illness.

Naturally, Qi Jintang had already learned the news about Lotus Neng from Xiaoxiu from Sun Jianyu. He was also very concerned about this matter and racked his brains to connect it with the river issues in Qingxi County. Combined, if we can get funding from the court, even if it is not enough to support all the dredging and construction work, Qi Jintang's method in Chapter 378 can at least open up the main river channel first, allowing people in the county to see hope and benefits. Things will go more smoothly in the future.
Although the chance was really slim, he was still unwilling to give up so easily. He asked Sun Jianyu to borrow all the river maps of the entire Taoist mansion, as well as information on river repairs over the years, and moved several boxes to the study. Apart from eating and sleeping every day, he Check these out and hopefully find a way to fix things.
Although it was very distressing to see Qi Jintang racking his brains every day, Hehua knew that he could not help much in such a matter, so he had to do his best to do logistical work to support him.
After consulting with Xiaoxiu, he opened the small kitchen near where he lived and carefully prepared Qi Jintang's favorite food for three meals. He also stewed some medicinal dishes and prepared supper for him every night.
"Grandma, what are you going to do for supper tonight?" Bai Zhi opened the curtain and entered the room and asked He Hua.
"What did you say?" He Hua raised her eyes from the book in her hand and asked.
"What can I say? Every time I ask, I always tell grandma to make the decision." Bai Zhi had never served Qi Jintang and He Hua in the past. After spending the past few days together, she found that both masters were easy to serve, and He Hua The big girl next to her is also very kind. Chapter 378 Qi Jintang's Methods So her temper, which was originally reserved due to worry, gradually relaxed, and her words became more playful and playful like a little girl.
"I remember my sister-in-law sent someone to deliver shrimps in the afternoon?" Hehua thought.
"Yes. The servant put it in a bamboo basket and put it in a water tank. They are still alive and well!" Bai Zhi replied hurriedly.
"Get some shrimps, peel them and mince them, make some meat stuffing, roll them into dough and wrap them in wontons. It's a cold night, so eat hot wontons to warm up." Hehua took out her watch and checked the time. He said, "Make more stuffing. I'll wrap it up later and send some to my brother."
"What do you want to give me?" Bo Rong's voice suddenly came from outside the window.
Miao'er hurriedly went out to pick out the curtains and welcomed Bo Rong into the house. She handed the wrapped hand stove to Bo Rong and said with a smile: "It's such a cold day, my uncle came so late. Grandma was just talking about tonight's supper." Night. I said I wanted to send it to my uncle and aunt!"
"Brother, why are you free to come here today?" Hehua was not too polite to his eldest brother. He sat on the couch and wrapped himself in a quilt. He smiled and turned his head and said, "It's cold underground, so I won't go down to greet you. You can come up and warm yourself." "
"You lazy girl." Bo Rong was not polite and sat directly on the couch, pulling the quilt on the other side to cover his legs and feet. "What are you doing for midnight snack tonight?"
"Wrapped in wontons." Hehua stuck out her tongue and said, "We came here together just to eat."
"I just asked you casually because I heard what Miao'er said." Bo Rong looked at He Hua's rare little daughter's expression dotingly, "But you have been cooking midnight snacks in different ways these days. My two little ones are both You eat so happily that you won't go to bed until midnight every night, and your sister-in-law even said she wants to settle a score with you!"
"You can't blame me, why didn't you two eat it secretly!" He Hua hurriedly shied away from responsibility, and then added, "In the worst case, I'll deliver it early tomorrow!"
"There's still tomorrow. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. We have New Year's Eve dinner in the afternoon and dumplings at night. You haven't left the house these days. Are you living in a fool's errand?" Bo Rong shook his head helplessly. "Your sister-in-law asked me to come over and remind you in case you forget. I also said that she was worrying about it, but she really made her guess."
"Ah?" Hehua really doesn't have much sense of time these days. All his thoughts are on the things Qi Jintang is thinking about. After listening to Bo Rong's words, he realized that it will be thirty years later. He raised his hand to touch his nose in embarrassment, glared at Miao'er and said, "I don't remember and you don't know how to remind me."
Miao'er stood aside and pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Grandma, I have been posting Spring Festival couplets and hanging lanterns these days. My uncle and grandma are also sending all kinds of new year's goods to our house. I look at you, grandma." They all saw it, and I thought grandma knew it all!"
"Stinky girl!" He Hua said angrily, "You are laughing at me too."
The room laughed for a while before Bo Rong asked: "Is Jintang still in the study?"
The smile on He Hua's face suddenly faded away, and she sighed and said: "These days, I have been immersed in those boxes of things. Food and tea have to be brought to my eyes before I even think about eating. My eyes are still sticky when I eat. With those river maps, I couldn't sleep for more than a few hours at night, because I was probably thinking about building the river in my dreams. Even though I was served delicious food and drink every day, I still lost weight. It would be great if I could find a way, if If you can’t find a way, you will become obsessed with it.”
"I'll go over and take a look." Bo Rong stood up and went to the study. After a while, he came back and said to Hehua, "Don't worry too much. I think Jintang looks a little haggard, but he is in good spirits. Men always have to For those who put their career first, no matter whether they can solve it this time, they will always have to work hard to find out.”
After hearing this, Hehua suddenly laughed and said: "Big brother is talking more and more like a man now, and he feels like the master of the house."
"No one can be a child for the rest of their lives." Bo Rong raised the corners of his lips, "When I was at home, even though I got married and had children, my parents still took care of everything, and I still didn't feel that much. To the south In the past few years since my son came, I have finally felt the pressure of being a husband and a father when faced with a wife and children. I only have two children now, and my conditions are not completely different from when we were young, but they are not even the slightest bit better. , but even so, I still feel that the burden on my shoulders is not as heavy as usual. The children have to grow up, and the parents have to grow old slowly. I always have some worries in my heart, and I wish I could work harder and be more capable... "
"Yes, my parents were dragging the five of us. Life was so hard..." Hehua was a little homesick by Bo Rong's words, especially when the roots were low this year, "I will be thirty tomorrow, and I won't I know whether my family will celebrate the New Year in the city or in the village this year. Boning and Shuanzi must have grown up, and I don’t know if those two brats will miss us."
When Bo Rong heard this, he suddenly said: "How about I bring my parents to live with me in the south for how many years?"
Hehua was stunned when she heard this, but her heart moved fiercely, but after thinking for a moment, she said hesitantly: "There is still a store at home to take care of, and my grandparents are getting older. I'm afraid my parents won't worry about coming here." .”
Bo Rong also knew that He Hua was right. He sighed slightly and said, "Yeah, I'm just thinking randomly."
"Actually, I have also thought about this matter, but instead of bringing my parents, I want to bring Boning and Shuanzi." Seeing that Bo Rong mentioned this matter, Hehua expressed her thoughts on this matter. , "I remember that my eldest brother originally wanted Shuanzi to come here. It is a good thing to gain experience and learn more skills. That kid Bonin is a little bit stubborn. Although he knows that it is a good thing to study hard, he only knows that he will be better after studying hard. People and sophistication are always at a disadvantage. He is still young and is not in a hurry to take the scientific examination. I want him to come and stay for a few years, whether he is with you or Jintang, and learn how to treat others, right? He always has benefits. And I heard from Jintang that our Taoist government has several famous academies, so it might not be as good to study here as at home. What do you think, brother?"
Upon hearing this, Bo Rong did not answer immediately, but asked: "Have you discussed this matter with Jintang?"
He Hua said strangely: "What does it have to do with Jintang? I just had such an idea. Just now you said you wanted to bring your parents over, and I suddenly remembered to tell you. What, is there any problem? ?”
"There's no problem on my side, whether it's my parents or Boning and Shuanzi, but if you want Boning or Shuanzi to come to your side, you have to discuss it with Jintang in advance. No matter what, you Now she is the daughter-in-law of the Qi family. You should talk to Jintang about all matters related to our family, and you cannot just let your own ideas make the decision." Bo Rong said with a serious expression, "You and Jintang have been close since childhood. Okay, so you may easily ignore this matter, but after all, he is the head of the family, and you also have in-laws. Regarding matters about your natal family, you cannot just do whatever you want as before. You must consider your The position and feelings of the husband’s family.”
"Brother, you are thinking too much. Firstly, my parents-in-law are not here, and secondly, don't you know what Jintang thinks of our family?" Hehua saw Bo Rong's disapproving look and carefully thought about his words in her heart. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Brother, do you mean that you are afraid that Jintang will get in trouble between my parents-in-law and me?"
Bo Rong nodded, "Not only that, as the saying goes, the married daughter throws away the water, and you always help her mother's family. Over time, it is inevitable that he will have no idea, which will make it difficult for Jintang. Both parents and younger brothers have I'll take care of you, just don't worry."
"Brother, I don't know if others have any thoughts, but I dare to say that Jintang will never do that." Hehua said with a smile, "Brother, don't you believe my vision? My parents gave birth to me and raised me. If only Because when you get married, you no longer fulfill your filial piety, and I will not be able to get over it from my own heart."
When the brother and sister said this, Bai Zhi ran in with her hands tied with white noodles and said, "Grandma, the wontons are all wrapped. When will they be cooked..." After saying this for a long time, they saw Bo Rong was also in the room, and his face suddenly turned red. He bowed to Bo Rong in a distorted posture and hid his hands behind his back in embarrassment.
Seeing her look like this made He Hua laugh out loud. She took out her watch and looked at the time and said, "Let's get rid of the pot, lest the two little bastards refuse to go to bed waiting for midnight snacks." She said, lifting the quilt and getting down to the ground. Zhuo pulled on his shoes and walked to the door, "Is there still some bone soup left in the kitchen from yesterday? Scrape off the big oil on the surface, then use that soup to cook wontons, and add some shrimp skin and coriander."
Qi Jintang suddenly opened the door curtain and rushed in. Without looking into the room, he grabbed He Hua's waist and held her around twice.
He Hua screamed in fright and hurriedly put her arms around his neck to stabilize her body. Just as she was about to say that her elder brother was still in the room, she heard Qi Jintang shouting: "I thought of it, He Hua, I thought of it."
Hehua suddenly became excited after hearing the words, and immediately forgot about Bo Rong. She hugged Qi Jintang and asked, "Have you thought of it? It's so good!" Looking at Qi Jintang's haggard face these days, his chin has already There was light blue stubble, but his eyes were dark and bright, shining with confidence, attracting people and making them unable to take their eyes away.
"Ahem..."
The two girls in the room blushed and turned their heads away. Bo Rong coughed a little embarrassed, which finally reminded the two people who were so selfless in the excitement.
He Hua's face turned red, and even her ears glowed with a faint pink color. She hurriedly let go of her hands and jumped away from Qi Jintang's arms. She didn't dare to look back at Bo Rong's expression, and said in a panic: "I'll cook wontons for you." .”
Only then did Qi Jintang see that Bo Rong was still in the room, and couldn't help but blush. However, he couldn't escape like He Hua did, so he had to bite the bullet and enter the room and said: "Brother, I haven't gone back yet..." After saying that, he felt What he said was not normal, as if he was trying to scare people away. He touched his nose awkwardly and said, "Brother, I..."
Bo Rong accidentally caught his brother-in-law making out with his sister, and felt very embarrassed. However, seeing that the two of them had a good relationship, he was also happy for his sister. Seeing Qi Jintang's awkward look at the moment, he quickly changed the subject and asked, "Did you just say that you Have you thought of a way?"
"Yes, I have carefully studied the river map of our Taoist government in the past few days, as well as the files of river repairs of this dynasty over the years, and found that the rivers that the court mainly repaired this time are actually the same as the rivers that were blocked in our county very early on. They used to be connected, that is to say, the waterways in our county used to be tributaries of the main river, but later due to various reasons, they gradually became blocked to the point where they are now. More than ten years ago, the main river rose in spring floods, and our rivers were blocked. Some of the fields in the county are flooded.”
When Qi Jintang said this, he took the tea brought by Miao'er and drank it all in one breath, and then continued: "The rivers in our county and nearby villages and towns are still preserved, but the upper reaches of the rivers are blocked, so as long as the upper reaches are dredged and strengthened, A lot of river water can be diverted from the main river channel without the need to dig another river channel, so in total, the results compared with the investment are very considerable."
The more he talked, the more excited he became. He simply ran to the study and brought a lot of information and a river map over to point it out to Bo Rong: "Brother, look, this is a river map. This is a blocked river. It is not a very long section." ." Then he opened the file and said, "I checked the records of river channel construction in the past one or two hundred years. There are several cases where tributaries were opened to divert river water to achieve flood control effects, and these cases are all in our Daofu. , the subsequent effects are also very good, what do you think?"
Bo Rong read all the information carefully, nodded with a smile and said: "Sure enough, if it can be done like this, it should be feasible, but tomorrow is New Year's Eve, let's celebrate the New Year happily first, Then go to Jianyu to discuss,"! ! !
