After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

Fortunately, everyone cheered up after being scolded by Yan Qingqing.

Yan Qingqing asked again: "Second brother, how are the fruit seedlings you ordered? Can they be delivered on time?"

Li Xiangan replied: "I asked when I went to the county yesterday, and a batch of fruit seedlings will arrive in the next two days.

Because the quantity we want is large, the fruit store cannot get so many trees at once, so they need to deliver them to us in batches. "

Yan Qingqing nodded and said, "Okay, then I will leave this matter to your third uncle.

Let him find some practical and capable people in the village to plant trees for our house. The salary is still thirty cents a day, not including food and accommodation. "

After hearing this, Li Xiangan quickly replied: "Okay, I will tell my third uncle later and ask him to find the workers first."

In fact, recruiting workers in Canghe Village is the easiest thing to do. Now that the New Year has passed, everyone is idle and nervous, waiting with their necks raised as Yan Qingqing's family recruits workers.

Li Xiangping asked again: "Mom, what can I do?"

Yan Qingqing replied: "Just continue to open up wasteland. Only half of the thirty acres of wasteland has been opened up.

I originally planned to develop a tourist attraction and plant all the apricot trees there. It can be used for tours by dignitaries or students.

At that time, you can also make apricot flower wine, make apricot flower cakes, or even make lip balm.

It's just that I don't know if I can buy so many fruit seedlings yet.

But it doesn’t matter. If it doesn’t work, we can still plant sweet potatoes or bananas. "

Li Xiangping knew that Yan Qingqing had ideas and plans, but every plan of Yan Qingqing was beyond his expectation. He had never dared to think about developing tourist attractions.

As the eldest son of the family, he knew that he had no ability and all he could do was to unswervingly support his mother's decision.

Li Xiangping looked at Yan Qingqing and said: "Mom, I will go to the fields to clear up wasteland in a moment.

Even if we can’t buy so many fruit seedlings this year, it doesn’t matter. There’s still next year and the year after that! "

Yan Qingqing looked at Li Xiangping with joy. No matter whether you are a person or a person, you must have this tenacity.

As soon as mother and son finished their discussion, Li Yueniang ran in excitedly and said, "Mom, grandma is here!"

Li Yueniang was young and didn't know what happened to the Yan family during the Chinese New Year.

Upon hearing this, Yan Qingqing quickly arranged her clothes and asked, "Where are you? Why don't you come back home?"

Li Yueniang smiled and said: "At the door, I happened to come back from the workshop to get something. I found my grandma lingering at the door and pulled her in."

After hearing this, Yan Qingqing no longer hesitated and hurried out to greet him.

Old Mrs. Yan was so kind to her, so she couldn't let such a trivial matter make her feel cold. What's more, she was the original owner's mother.

Yan Qingqing happened to meet Mrs. Yan when she entered the courtyard.

Yan Qingqing smiled and stepped forward and said: "Mom, I was just planning to finish the things at hand and let a few children pick you up. Why did you come by yourself?"

Mrs. Yan was relieved when she saw that Yan Qingqing had no grudges about the New Year incident.

She loved this daughter the most in her life, but she even plotted against her own daughter for the sake of the useless daughter-in-law and granddaughter at home.

To be honest, she had been feeling uncomfortable for so many days. How he wished Yan Qingqing could send someone to pick her up from the embroidery workshop as soon as possible.

But she waited and waited until the eighth day of the Lunar New Year and no one came to the door. She couldn't sit still, so she came to the door on her own.

Mrs. Yan took a deep breath and asked: "My daughter, this time it was my mother who was confused for a moment, but her children are all debts. I also have to think about your brother and the unmarried children in the family."

Mrs. Yan's honesty made Yan Qingqing feel a lot better.

If Mrs. Yan makes jokes and pretends to be confused, she may really feel chilled.

Yan Qingqing supported Mrs. Yan and said, "Mom, it's over. Let's not mention it again in the future, but my daughter doesn't want a next time."

Mrs. Yan repeatedly promised: "Daughter, don't worry, there will never be a next time.

By the way, what are you busy with during the Chinese New Year? You just said you were going to pick me up while you were dealing with the matter at hand. Did something happen at home? "

Yan Qingqing didn't hide it from Old Mrs. Yan, because she knew she couldn't hide it. Even if Yan Qingqing didn't say that Old Mrs. Yan was teaching embroidery in the embroidery workshop, she would have found out after just a little inquiry.

So I told Mrs. Yan exactly what happened.

After hearing this, Mrs. Yan became very angry. She slapped her thigh and said, "Who is so heartless? You should report him to the police and arrest him!"

Yan Qingqing smiled and said: "Mom, don't worry. I already have someone to suspect.

Don't worry, mother, he will be exposed sooner or later. "

Mrs. Yan nodded after hearing this. She couldn't do anything for her daughter now. She could only try her best to teach the embroidery girls in the embroidery workshop.

Several days passed, and everyone thought that the matter of Yan Qingqing's chickens and ducks being poisoned would go unsolved. However, the county magistrate came to Canghe Village in person.

He also went to Yan Qingqing's house. No one in Canghe Village had ever seen such a big battle.

This is the county magistrate, and everyone is so frightened that they dare not express their anger.

However, after the county magistrate entered Yan Qingqing's house, they began to discuss quietly.

Some people say that Yan Qingqing's family is so great now that they can have the county magistrate come to their door in person, which shows that their business is huge.

No one said that Yan Qingqing's chickens and ducks were poisoned and their family reported it to the police. The county magistrate must have come to investigate the case.

........................

When the village chief Li Kaishan heard that the county magistrate had come to Canghe Village, he rushed to Yan Qingqing's house in a hurry.

Yan Qingqing didn't know about Magistrate Ling's sudden visit, but fortunately the children were at home. He took Li Xiangping, Li Xiangan and Li Xiangjian to receive Magistrate Ling.

Yuan Huiniang, Li Xiniang, and Li Yueniang were women and were not suitable to meet outsiders. Li Xiangkang was too young and Xiao Mochen was not suitable to appear.

After Yan Qingqing asked Magistrate Ling to sit down in the front hall, he asked Li Xiangping and others to serve him tea.

Magistrate Ling was a little embarrassed when he saw such a big fight at Yan Qingqing's house and said, "My presumptuous visit this time is really disturbing."

Yan Qingqing smiled and replied: "What did the county magistrate say?

It's really a blessing to have you here in person. "

This was what Li Kaishan saw when he entered. Yan Qingqing was laughing and talking with Magistrate Ling.

The admiration for Yan Qingqing in my heart is not the slightest. This is the county magistrate, the largest official in Chengyang County. This is the first time in his old age that he has met the county magistrate at such a close distance.

Now let alone chatting and laughing with the county magistrate, even just a few steps away, he was trembling in his heart and felt that he would not be able to walk.

Yan Qingqing looked up at Li Kaishan and found that he was already walking with the same hands and feet, knowing that he was nervous when he saw Magistrate Ling.

So he turned around and gave Li Xiangping a look. Li Xiangping quickly walked over to support Li Kaishan and said, "Grandpa, village chief, why are you here? Didn't you fall on your leg two days ago? Can you get out of bed now?"

Li Kaishan looked confused after hearing what Li Xiangping said. Then he saw Li Xiangping wink at him, and he understood instantly.

The kid said this deliberately because he was afraid that he would be embarrassed in front of the county magistrate.

Yan Qingqing was a little amused after hearing what Li Xiangping said. I didn't expect that Li Xiangping, who is usually such an honest person, could be so clever at critical moments.

However, Magistrate Ling was still sitting aside, and Yan Qingqing could only suppress her smile.
