Three points are destined, seven points depend on face

Xia Chuntao called the three of them over and asked them to observe. After they got familiar with each other, he would arrange some small tasks for them in due course. The three girls studied hard and worked carefully, and Xia Chuntao felt a little more relaxed.

Lao Jin’s daily work is the busiest. Not only do we need to prepare materials for six or seven days, we also need to bring craftsmen and laborers to level the ground, dig foundations, etc. according to the plan.

Shuanzi's father is looking for an experienced pottery master to make pottery pipes, assemble, seal, etc.

Lao Liu organized the manpower to start the transportation work and supervise the daily work.

Xia Chuntao asked Lao Fang to find several aunts from Gejiazhuang to go to the mountain to cook for everyone. Lao Fang was also responsible for purchasing the ingredients every day.

Both dealers should have a sense of participation and a feeling of being valued. Zhuangtou is like the leader. If the banker is positive, can the banker below do worse?

Just like in Daxi Village, Xia Chuntao told Lao Fang to eat as much as possible every day.

"Lao Fang, don't be careful about food. You can't save much money here. How can you work if you don't have the energy? What I want is to build the restaurant earlier. To put it bluntly, what you save is not as much as what you spend in the restaurant for a day. The turnover is not worth it.”

"Just a little, no waste, no takeout. Once you find it, go home and eat it yourself. I don't need people like that. You must strictly manage this."

If there are no rules, there will be no rules, and those who should be managed must still be managed. There are some things I am willing to give, and some I am not. If you can't give it away, don't even think about taking it out.

Therefore, from the first day of the project, everyone was surprised to find that the food was so good. You can actually see large pieces of meat in the dish? There is enough oil and water, and the steamed buns are even more filling.

Lao Fang exaggerated Xia Chuntao's request and admonished the villagers who were working, "It's not just food. If I find someone taking things from the construction site, don't blame me for not recognizing my relatives, you just pack up and get out of the village!"

This is serious. Now that Zhuangzi has just ushered in good times, who wants to pack up and leave?

The clockwork was wound in time.

Sure enough, from the start of the project to the completion of the project, there was not a single act of theft. Everyone cherishes the hard-won job opportunities.

Within a few days, news came from Rongcheng that the new prefect had arrived. It is said that this magistrate was originally a fellow magistrate of a southern province named Zheng Zhiping. Because of his outstanding performance in the performance appraisal, he was promoted one level and became the prefect of Rongcheng.

Dai Viet implements local management at the provincial and district levels. Vinh Thanh is just a name for ordinary people. Strictly speaking, it should be called "Rongcheng Prefecture". Vinh Thanh Prefecture governs eight counties and is considered the largest prefecture in Vietnam.

Xia Chuntao estimated that this "mansion" was equivalent to the modern "province". Being a provincial governor is pretty awesome. I just don’t know if the new Magistrate Zheng is a good official?

If there is a well-fed animal and a hungry wolf comes, then the people will really come out of the dog hole and into the wolf den.

Yan Hong stroked his beard and looked like an old man, "If it's him, Madam Xia, don't worry."

Xia Chuntao asked curiously: "Does Mr. Yan know Magistrate Zheng?"

"Zheng Zhiping is my senior brother. We are both disciples of Lord Wu of Dali Temple. I am a few years younger than him. He took up a post in the county and I just entered the Hanlin Academy. I also met Zheng a few times with my teacher. Senior brother is an upright person, not comparable to Zeng Rui and others."

Xia Chuntao felt relieved when she heard this.

"Sir, do you want to meet Mr. Zheng?"

Yan Hong thought for a while, but shook his head, "He has just arrived. He must have a lot of things to deal with. Let's talk about it later."

Xia Chuntao actually doesn't quite understand why Mr. Yan doesn't shine in the officialdom?

She likes Mr. Yan's work style very much. He is non-commercial and not pedantic. He is a hard worker. If there were more people like Mr. Yan in the court, would the lives of the common people be better?

She also didn't understand that Mr. Yan obviously admired Mr. Zheng very much and was still a senior brother, but he didn't want to meet him. She didn't know why.

Maybe Mr. Yan has a last resort? In short, this is a private matter, and Xia Chuntao will never pry around even if she is curious.

Xiaoxia classmate wants to be a stylish melon-eater.

Everything has settled down, everyone is doing their job, and everything is going according to plan. Xia Chuntao also took a break from her busy schedule and took Ling Zhiyi and her children to Rongcheng for a day.

The two maids following Ling Zhiyi, one Lancao and the other Yuzhu, were missing Qiutang.

Xia Chuntao asked casually: "Where is Qiutang?"

Ling Zhiyi wanted to laugh when she thought of Qiu Tang's appearance, and replied: "When Qiu Tang heard that we were going out together, she was afraid that I would take her and slip away somewhere."

"I think she likes the excitement, so why is she hiding?"

"How can she dare to join in the fun when Sister Xia is here?"

"Ok?"

Ling Zhiyi smiled and said, "When she sees you now, she is like the mouse seeing the cat. She wants to find a crack in the ground to escape. Sister Xia, you are still awesome!"

After finishing speaking, he followed Xia Chuntao's example and extended his thumb to give a thumbs up.

Ling Zhiyi added: "My grandma told me everything that happened before. When we get back to the house, I will send her back. What is the use of such a disobedient maid?"

"Well, that makes sense. When we grow up, we can decide things by ourselves, which is great!"

Ling Zhiyi hugged Xia Chuntao's arm, "Sister Xia, it would be great if I could always be by your side!"

Xia Chuntao touched Zhiyi's head and said, "Fool, can I stay with you for the rest of my life? You have to walk on your own, and you have to choose what kind of life you want to live. Once you choose, you will be happy for the rest of your life."

Ling Zhiyi listened thoughtfully to Xia Chuntao's words.

After hesitating for a long time, he asked again: "Sister Xia, can you... be with my brother for the rest of his life?"

Um? The little girl is very keen.

"Do you want me to stay with your brother forever?"

Ling Zhiyi nodded fiercely, "I hope. There is no one in the world who understands my brother better than Sister Xia, and there is no one who can make my brother happy like Sister Xia. I hope that my brother and Sister Xia can Stay happy like this."

Xia Chuntao tapped the tip of Ling Zhiyi's nose, "Little girl, you have a lot to worry about! Then tell me, what kind of man do you like?"

Ling Zhiyi blushed slightly and said seriously: "I... I just want my husband and I to be like... you and your brother, who have each other in their hearts and never leave each other."

Xia Chuntao joked: "Hey, you little girl, why are you so good at talking? I underestimated you."

Ling Zhiyi chuckled.

The child Zhiyi is now Xia Chuntao's little follower. She followed Xia Chuntao to the construction site, and she followed Xia Chuntao to settle accounts. She ate and drank in Xia Chuntao's yard every day.

It is said that those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black. This is true.
