It was not advisable to lie down and sleep just after eating. Huo Yunchao asked about the post-disaster reconstruction situation: "Ning Niang, Father Xu, has the water started to recede?"

Introducing the situation to Huo Yunchao, Xu Ning couldn't help but sigh: "Ms. sir, I only know that you have worked very hard. I won't know how great a thing you have done until I come to the scene in person."

She waited for Huo Yunchao at home and got a rough idea of ​​the disaster from Jia Er and others. It was only when she was there that she realized that the disaster was far more serious than she had imagined. The floods were overwhelming and destructive. Human beings had no power to fight back in the face of natural disasters. Either escape in time or die without a burial place!

Huo Yunchao smiled and tipped the fat girl in his arms and said: "Ning Niang, why do you even say that? I never said what great things I would do from the beginning to the end. I just don't want the flood to destroy our family." Feitian, protect you. The disaster is so serious, and I am a rich and noble person in the eyes of the victims. If I really don’t do anything, if I don’t protect everything, someone will come to my house to smash, smash, loot and burn...”

Butcher Xu rolled his eyes at Huo Yunchao and interrupted his self-deprecating words: "Chaoer, you are saying these unpleasant things again! If you really only think about your own three-acre land like you said, why do you want to follow him? Jia Er, Zhou Changxing and others carried rocks and sandbags to block the breach?"

Huo Yunchao touched his nose, not daring to say anything against his will. But he really doesn't think he is so great and selfless. The starting point for doing all this is really just for the sake of his family.

Butcher Xu said to Xu Ning: "Mother Ning, you may not know that the victims said that after they rebuild their homes, they will set up longevity plaques for Chao'er to wish Chao'er a long life."

Xu Ning smiled: "Dad, I heard about it. The victims were looking for wood suitable for erecting longevity signs while carrying out post-disaster reconstruction work. I saw them and asked a few more questions. Some victims who couldn't hold back their words told me ”

Huo Yunchao was dumbfounded when he heard this: "Huh? Didn't I ask them not to set up any longevity cards for me? I, I didn't do anything..."

Xu Ning could probably guess what Huo Yunchao was thinking. She comforted: "My husband, didn't you always tell me before that you should express your feelings reasonably? The victims saved their lives and homes because of my husband's timely rescue. They were grateful." It must be vented. Sir, the victims of the disaster not only set up immortality tablets for you, but also for His Majesty. By the way, the scholars in the academy have taken a lot of orders."

"Ah? What's going on? Ning Niang, don't tell me that the victims went to the scholars to customize the longevity cards!"

The more Huo Yunchao listened, the more ridiculous he felt. He had really done nothing worthy of the people giving him a longevity card!

Xu Ning smiled and nodded: "My husband, you are so smart. You guessed it right the first time. The scholars are also very grateful to my husband. If it were not for the longevity cards that require good pen and ink, they would not even be willing to accept money to do things."

hiss--

Huo Yunchao was speechless.

Something touched him deep in his heart: he seemed to be able to do more things for the people that would benefit the country and the people.

Little Fubao is not sleepy. She has just slept and is energetically climbing back and forth between her father, mother and grandfather. Sometimes she wants to be held by her father, sometimes she wants to be held by her grandfather. She crawls into Xu Ning's arms and lies down for a while, fearing that she will be tired. Then Aniang got back into her father's arms.

The little guy is young and has a lot of thoughts. He just wanders around and enjoys himself.

Xu Ning let the little Fubao crawl around. The child was very energetic. As long as she didn't cry, make trouble, or do dangerous things, she could play as she pleased.

Butcher Xu patted his son-in-law on the shoulder and said with a smile: "When Mr. Liang was chatting with me, he once said that Chao'er's official reputation in the capital was not good. Mr. Liang said that after he really got in touch with Chao'er, he found out that he had said that Chao'er had a bad reputation. None of those big and small officials who have bad children are as responsible and responsible as Chao'er."

Huo Yunchao touched his nose: "I, I don't seem to be that good. I just relied on new grains to get rewards, and I am afraid that I will not be sorry for the glory and wealth that your Majesty gave me. What I said is all the truth."

He is really not being self-effacing, nor is he deliberately saying these words to seek recognition and appreciation from others, but he feels from the bottom of his heart that he has done something he can do, and that's it.

Butcher Xu nodded and said with a smile: "Father Xu knows. Chao'er, you never talk empty words. Everything you do is within your ability."

The night talk ended with little Fubao's snoring. Huo Yunchao held the fat girl lying in his arms and entered the bedroom steadily step by step.

Xu Ning stood beside the bed and asked in a low voice: "Mr., little Fubao is sleeping so deeply, you can let her go back to her bedroom."

Huo Yunchao understood Xu Ning's hint, but he didn't want to consume Xu Ning's energy too much, so he winked at her and said, "Let me rest."

Xu Ning's face turned red. She got into Huo Yunchao's arms and whispered, "Mr., I want to have a second child."

Huo Yunchao no longer pretended to be deaf and dumb, but gave a clear answer: "Okay, but not now or today. When the disaster relief is over, let's plan for the future."

Xu Ning raised her head and looked at him: "Ms. sir, why did you change your mind?"

When Huo Yunchao woke up and saw his fat girl playing with toys alone, he came up with the idea of ​​having a second or third child: "I want to give little Fubao a younger brother and sister. I can't bear to see her little one guarding me. The most important thing is Yes, I am Pinglehou now, and I have enough resources to ensure your health and to raise your children without any distractions."

Huo Yunchao didn't care what others thought.

As far as he is concerned: if he cannot raise his children well, he will not consider having a second or third child.

Xu Ning got the answer she wanted, and she quickly fell asleep.

Listening to the breathing sounds with the same frequency coming from the left and right sides of his ears, Huo Yunchao couldn't help but smile happily: he was no longer the poor orphan without a father and a mother. He had a happy family in a different world. The shortcomings of his previous life.

The next morning, Huo Yunchao got up early, prepared several dishes that County Magistrate Wang and Mr. Liang, Minister of Industry, liked to eat, put them into a specially made thermal box by the craftsmen he ordered, and got on the carriage and went straight to the county government office.

Magistrate Wang was so busy that he returned to the county office to rest at one or two in the morning. Today he mainly dealt with the backlog of cases and affairs. The post-disaster reconstruction work was led by the Minister of Industry.

Huo Yunchao came to the study with a food box: "Master Wang! Stop writing for a while, let's worship the five internal organs temple first and then get busy."

Magistrate Wang looked Huo Yunchao up and down: "You look good, have you recovered?"

Huo Yunchao: "Well, the dark circles under your eyes are really dark! Come on, come on, I made a soup to replenish qi and blood, and drink some to replenish my body."

Magistrate Wang was not polite to Huo Yunchao: "Yunchao, leave a bowl of tonic soup for Mr. Liang. Mr. Liang has suffered a serious crime, so he must make up for it."

The two chatted while drinking soup. As they chatted, Magistrate Wang mysteriously took out a piece of paper and said, "Here, burn it after reading it."

Huo Yunchao took a closer look and his eyes straightened: "Why?"

Magistrate Wang shook his head and said he didn't know.
