Ye Xiaotian walked into the "tycoon's grocery store" and said with a smile, "tycoon, don't come here without any problems! Ha, niuniu, hello!"
The tycoon and Niuniu uttered a strange cry at the same time, and Niuniu's face turned pale, and she hid behind the tycoon with a "swish", and said tremblingly: "You... you you... are you a human or a ghost?"
The tycoon jumped up happily, opened his arms and hugged Ye Xiaotian, and said loudly: "Brother, you miss me so much, I thought I would never see you again in this lifetime."
Hearing Niuniu's words, the two of them were taken aback at the same time, only to realize that there are very few people who knew about Ye Xiaotian's fake death, except for the tycoon and a few inspectors from the county government, almost all of them were officials from Hu County. The tycoon let go of Ye Xiaotian, and pondered: "Well! He is... he is..."
Ye Xiaotian didn't change his face, he smiled and said: "My name is Ye Xiaotian, I'm a friend of the tycoon, I met him when I was buying goods with the tycoon, and we became close friends at first sight."
The tycoon immediately interjected: "Yes, when I went to buy goods last time, I saw that Big Brother Ye and Ai Dianshi were born exactly the same. I couldn't help being extremely surprised. After some chatting and very speculative, I recognized Big Brother Ye as my elder brother."
Niu Niu trembled and said: "Then...how does he still know me?"
The tycoon said calmly: "Of course it's because I miss you very much when I'm out and always miss you in front of Brother Ye. Now that he sees such a beautiful girl beside me, of course he thinks it's you."
Ye Xiaotian secretly gave a thumbs up: "As expected of my brother, he doesn't even blink his ass when he lies!"
Niu Niu was very happy when she heard that, seeing that Ye Xiaotian was really not the resurrection of Ai Dianshi, she flashed out from behind the big tycoon in peace of mind, gave Ye Xiaotian a blessing, and said: "My family has seen Brother Ye." The big tycoon and Ye Xiaotian shook hands, understanding Xuan shook his head and laughed out loud.
Mao Wenzhi walked in with strides, and said in a rough voice: "This is the big brother, right? Oh my god, the big brother is really right. Big brother, you were born with a round jade, and you are really a lucky person."
Luo Daheng: "..."
Mao Wenzhi patted him on the shoulder without hesitation, and said casually: "My surname is Mao, and Mao Wenzhi is also Brother Ye's good brother. You can just call me Lao Mao from now on."
Luo Daheng: "..."
At the door, standing on the shaft of the car, he called out crisply: "Fuwa!"
Fuwa slid off the big man's shoulders, jumped to the side of the carriage, lay down on the ground, jumped off Yaoyao, and rode on its fat and broad back with great accuracy. Fuwa carried Yaoyao on his back, Walking towards the store step by step.
The big man bent down to look at the narrow road between the shelves in the store, scratched his scalp, and gave up the plan to follow. At this time, many people had gathered around and pointed at it. The big man became impatient, bared his teeth at them, and let out a low growl from his throat, scaring several girls and a group of children to run away screaming.
Zhao Wenyuan stood beside the car, watching the scene in the store with a smile. The curtains were raised, revealing Qian Qingqing's charming and natural face, looking forward, she glanced lightly into the shop, then slowly lowered the curtains...
They traveled along the way very smoothly. They expected to arrive in Hu County in the morning of the day after tomorrow, but they didn't expect to arrive today. After entering the city, Ye Xiaotian commanded the carriages and horses with ease, and happened to pass by Luo Daheng's grocery store when crossing Shizi Street. Meet old friends.
The two chatted briefly, because it was inconvenient to say something in front of so many people, Ye Xiaotian said: "Daheng, my brother has already passed the examination, and was promoted by the government envoy's yamen, and was recommended as the history of Huxian County. There is another one outside." My friend, you are the new postman of this county, the two of us will go to the county office to report first, and then we will catch up with you later."
Upon hearing this, the tycoon hurriedly said, "Brother, I'll go with you!"
The tycoon hurried behind the counter, took out a schoolbag from under the counter, put it on his shoulder, and ran out again. When Ye Xiaotian saw his bulging schoolbag, he couldn't help but keep his eyes fixed, and couldn't help but smile: "Are you still carrying a schoolbag?"
The tycoon grinned and said: "I've been memorizing it for a while. I feel it's very convenient to carry something. It's better than a bag, so I've been carrying it all the time. Hehe, it's not bricks here anymore. In addition to food, there are also some loose things. Pieces of silver are more convenient than carrying them on your body."
Ye Xiaotian looked at his hippopotamus-like fat waist that was getting rounder day by day, and nodded in agreement. The tycoon followed Ye Xiaotian out of the store, and Ye Xiaotian introduced him to Zhao Wenyuan, and everyone continued to walk towards the county government. Ye Xiaotian and Luo Daheng walked at the front of the motorcade.
Ye Xiaotian said to the tycoon: "Is Niuniu married to you already? I saw the two of you sticking together as soon as I came."
The tycoon shook his chubby face, and his jaw trembled: "Hey! It would be great if we got married, now, Niuniu is my hired man."
Ye Xiaotian wondered: "Man? Their grocery store is closed?"
The tycoon said: "It's open. Didn't I pay a high price to poach a corner?"
Ye Xiaotian's eyes widened, and he said, "Poach the corner? You poach the corner from her mother?"
The tycoon said confidently: "Yes! The small grocery store in their house only earns a few taels of silver a month. I promised her twenty taels of silver a month. After hearing this, her mother happily gave her to me. coming."
Ye Xiaotian said: "Tiger, do you still accept employees in your store?"
The tycoon said: "My business will not be opened for three years, and it will be three years after opening. I won't need so many guys. Why, brother, does anyone want to recommend it to me?"
Ye Xiaotian sighed: "I do canon history, and my monthly salary is only four shi. If you still lack a clerk in your store, I will resign and I will be your clerk."
The tycoon laughed dryly and said, "Brother, don't make fun of me. Isn't there nothing I can do? A few days ago, I tried to find out what my father meant by beating around the bush. What my father meant was to find me a woman of the right family, Niu Niu. Origin... He won't agree.
So I thought, let’s make a real husband and wife with Niu Niu first, and it’s better to have a baby. At that time, there will be a chubby and cute child hugging my father’s neck, and calling him grandpa in a childish voice, I will Believe it or not, he doesn't accept Niuniu. Hey! hey-hey… "
The tycoon squinted his eyes and said with a very sinister look. Ye Xiaotian suddenly said: "Ah! So you and Niuniu have become a real couple?"
The tycoon's face fell down again, and he said dejectedly: "Not yet, Niu Niu said, unless I am married to her, and I have worshiped heaven and earth, she will marry me. Otherwise, I will never touch her. Hey! I am caught in the bellows Rat, you are in a dilemma!"
Ye Xiaotian patted him on the shoulder sympathetically, and sighed: "We are really a pair of troubled brothers!"
The tycoon was overjoyed, and said: "Brother also has someone he likes, but he can't marry him?"
Ye Xiaotian glanced at him and said, "What are you so happy for?"
The tycoon smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just feel a lot relieved all of a sudden."
Ye Xiaotian snorted angrily, and asked: "Why do you still hang around in the grocery store every day, post road transportation is a big business with a lot of money, don't you take care of it?"
The tycoon smiled and said: "Who said I don't take care of it? But look at my body, can I run around with the convoy all day long? I will hand over this matter to Gao Ya and Li Bohao."
Ye Xiaotian frowned and said: "If you let go completely, aren't you afraid that they will join hands to empty you, so that the power will fall?"
The tycoon said happily: "How is it possible? I am in charge of the accounts and the money, and this will kill them. Besides, can the two of them work together? Unless the sun comes out from the west! Hehe, the two of them This is like an enemy from the previous life, fighting every day, ah! I don’t know if they fight again today, it’s really exciting... "
Ye Xiaotian: "..."

Inside the mountain, a dry river bed lay quietly in the sun, and the mud quickly cracked fist-sized holes under the scorching sun. There is a dam built in front of it, blocking the upstream river water, and the clear river water flows slowly from the small canals leading out on both sides.
This river is called Laodao River, and the depth of the river was about two feet when it was level, but now even if it is blocked by a dam, the water depth is only more than three feet. On the embankment, dozens of strong men with bamboo spears and long knives patrolled back and forth.
Suddenly, a group of people approached aggressively from the downstream direction. The strong man patrolling on the embankment saw the figures of the group of people condescendingly, and immediately rang the gong. Running fast, he shouted to the high and low bamboo buildings in the valley: "Lijiazhai is here to grab water, come quickly, Lijiazhai is here to grab water!"
After a while, a large number of strong men came from the villages on both sides, armed with knives, guns, sticks, iron forks and bamboo spears, and gathered on the embankment to stand ready.
The mountains of the world are gathered in Yunnan and Guizhou, stretching thousands of miles, and boundless to the sky. Therefore, most of the fields in Guizhou are terraced fields, and the terraced fields are on the mountains. If the mountains are rainy, they will be flooded, and if there is no rain, they will be dry. Therefore, the terraced fields have become "Wangtian Tiantian", which is really dependent on the sky.
Recently, there has been a severe drought in Huxian County. The depth of the Laodao River, which supports Gaojiazhai in the upper reaches and Lijiazhai in the lower reaches, has rapidly dropped by six or seven times, and the crops are about to pop ears and fill in the critical moment, so Gaojiazhai cut off the water. the rivers to ensure the irrigation of their fields.
But as a result, the Lijiazhai in the lower reaches, not to mention water for irrigation, but drinking water has become a problem. Therefore, in order to compete for water sources, the conflict between the two villages became more and more fierce. It was built and rebuilt several times during the competition between the two sides.
In order to keep the water source, Gaojiazhai organized strong laborers to carry weapons and guard the river embankment day and night. Today it was obvious that the Lijiazhai organized people to fight for water again, and the Gaojiazhai immediately stood ready. Gao Ya, the young master of Gaojiazhai, arrived in a hurry, holding a sword, and looked down the mountain coldly.
At the foot of the mountain, the person who led hundreds of menacing strong men rushed over was the young master of the Li family village, the other of the three proprietors of the "Luo Ligao" car and horse company, his old classmate and partner Li Bohao .
