Chapter 105 Bridge Repair
Zhao Yicha took a small bench and sat in the yard.
Two puppies circled around her.
They still have to cook for the family, so Li Xiuxiu and Li Yuebai came back first.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw two black lumps at Zhao Yicha's feet.
"Tea? What is this?"
Zhao Yicha stood up happily.
"Second aunt, third aunt."
"It's a puppy!"
Li Xiuxiu's family has always had a puppy. When she heard it was a puppy, she immediately squatted down and petted it.
"What a chubby dog!"
"Who gave it to me?"
If a family with dogs in the village gives birth to puppies, the ones that have more will be given to other families to raise.
In rural areas, many people are still willing to keep a dog.
Zhao Yicha explained with a smile, "No, it was picked up from the mountain by my brothers."
"Can I raise it?"
Li Xiuxiu touched the dog's head and said, "It's no problem for me! I also want to raise a dog."
Another person agreed, and Zhao Yicha cheered.
"Where is the third aunt? Do the third aunts agree?"
Li Yuebai smiled and nodded, "It's good to have two puppies."
He Sutong saw the two coming back and waved to them.
When the two younger siblings arrived at the kitchen, He Sutong asked quickly.
"How's it going? What's going on."
Li Xiuxiu talked about things on the other side of the bridge.
"Isn't there a flood ahead? The bridge is soaked in water."
"After the water receded for a while, there was a big hole next to the bridge pier for some reason, and then it collapsed."
"When we came back, someone was looking in with a torch."
"Looking at the dark hole, it's actually not very deep. There are only some fish in it and nothing else."
He Sutong understood. It was a pity that the bridge collapsed.
Moreover, He Sutong's natal family is in Kapok Village. Now that the bridge has collapsed, it is difficult to travel between the two sides.
Going to take a long detour.
"Hey, it will be troublesome to transport wood from Kapok Village now."
He Sutong sighed.
"Several families came to us just now. We have three men and want to ask them for help."
"If the bridge is broken, transporting wood will be troublesome and more manpower will be needed."
"Right now, our family is the only one who wants to keep the village chief's family idle."
"They are all from the village. It would not be good for me to promise anyone."
When Li Yuebai went to watch the fun just now, many aunts came to ask for help from the men of the Zhao family.
"That's true. My parents are also on the other side of the bridge. Let's discuss it after they come back."
It was getting late, and we had to eat at noon. The three of them were talking and preparing to cook.
After the food was ready, Mr. Zhao and his party came back.
Zhao Yicha and his puppy were really conspicuous, and they were spotted as soon as they entered the yard.
After asking the grandparents for their opinions, everyone agreed to keep the puppy, so Zhao Yicha held the puppy and circled happily.
It's time to eat, but the three brothers who went to the county haven't come back yet.
Zhao Changan's stomach growled with hunger. He stood at the entrance of the courtyard and looked in the direction of the county.
"Why haven't dad and uncles come back yet?"
It won't take long for me to go to the county. I don't know what happened this time.
No one can starve his children when they are hungry.
Mrs. Zhao pulled Zhao Changan in and said, "Eat first, eat first."
"For the second son's family, leave some food for them, and we'll eat first."
Li Xiuxiu took the plate and divided some of each dish, "Okay, mother, let's eat!"
While eating, Mr. Zhao mentioned the bridge just now.
Building a bridge is a big deal. At the beginning, this bridge was donated by a wealthy businessman in Kapok Village.
I have forgotten when it was built. Anyway, Mr. Zhao
The bridge was there when you were born.
Chen Jingzhi has been thinking about this matter. As the county magistrate, he must take care of it.
"The county is not rich in money, so it is still difficult to squeeze out the money to repair the bridge."
Many village chiefs in Jiangcheng County were affected by the disaster. Although there was funding from the court, there was no money left for disaster relief.
We also need to settle the victims.
Wu Yang ate his rice and asked, "Do you want to build the bridge again?"
"I'll pay for it!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to him.
Zhao Changan put down his chopsticks in shock, "Brother Yang, do you have so much money?"
Zhao Changfu touched Wu Yang and said, "Brother Yang, it costs a lot of money to build a bridge."
Chen Jingzhi was not surprised and looked at Wu Yang with a smile, "Have you thought about it?"
Wu Yang didn't think it was a big deal, it was just building a bridge.
"Miss Qin San has donated money, so I will donate some money to build a bridge."
Wu Yang didn't care about this little money, so he didn't even need to ask his family. He had more than enough in his own private treasury.
Mrs. Zhao disagreed, "Ah, Yang is still a child."
"That's where he can make money."
Wu Yang picked up a chopstick dish and gave it to Mrs. Zhao.
"Master, it's okay, I have money."
"And make some contribution to our village."
"A lot of people are still transporting wood at the moment."
"It's a long way around and we have to climb uphill. It's so tiring."
Zhao Changan said enviously, "Brother Yang is so nice, and he still has money."
"When will I have the money to repair the bridge?"
Building a bridge is not a small sum of money. Wu Yang looks like a kid from a rich family, but he is still young after all.
Mr. Zhao asked: "You still have to ask Ayang's parents."
Wu Yang smiled and said, "It's okay, I don't need this little money at home."
"The bridge needs to be repaired first. It will take several days to send the letter across."
Chen
Jing Zhi knew Wu Yang's identity and did not dissuade him. This small amount of money was not difficult for Wu Yang.
Wu Yang insisted, and the others said nothing.
Zhao Changan's dog-legged one was picking up food for Wu Yang.
Wu Yang was very pleased, "Don't worry, my brother will definitely not treat you badly now that he is prosperous."
Wu Yang had actually thought about inviting people from the Zhao family to the capital.
Chen Jingzhi won't be able to stay in Jiangcheng County for more than a few years. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be transferred back to the capital in a few years.
He had mentioned before that the three brothers of the Zhao family all took the imperial examination, and they might still be colleagues in the officialdom in the future.
But I’ve been to Ewha Village a few times and it’s really comfortable here.
Especially Wu Yang, he simply didn’t want to go back.
There is no place in Beijing as fun as Lihua Village.
However, the Zhao family would have to leave Lihua Village sooner or later. In the past few days, Chen Jingzhi had told Wu Yang in private.
The knowledge of Mr. Zhao and Mr. Zhao must be high school.
Wu Yang has already made up his mind to follow the Zhao family in the future. Anyway, his parents always want him to go out and experience things.
He now considers himself a member of the Zhao family, his second family.
Just after dinner, Zhao Miaomiao took Zhao Yicha and wanted to go for a walk.
As a result, he pushed open the courtyard door and saw Aunt Niu walking towards the door.
"Hey, Miaomiao, where are you taking the tea girl?"
Zhao Miaomiao greeted politely, "Auntie, let's go for a walk."
"What's matter?"
Aunt Niu looked into the yard and asked Zhao Miaomiao in a low voice.
"Are your brothers back?"
Zhao Miaomiao shook her head, "Not back yet."
Aunt Niu was still looking into the yard, "Hey, is the county magistrate still there?"
Zhao Miaomiao, "Here you are, talking to my dad."
"Ah!" Aunt Niu hesitated,
The county magistrate was still there, so she didn't dare go in to talk to Mrs. Zhao.
He had no choice but to say to Zhao Miaomiao, "Miaomiao, please help my aunt call your mother out. Don't alarm the county magistrate."
"I have something to see your mother."
Zhao Yicha imitated Aunt Niu and asked in a low voice, "Auntie, are you going to ask my father and uncles to move the wood?"
Aunt Niu touched Zhao Yicha's little head, "That's right!"
Zhao Miaomiao pulled Zhao Yicha in, "Auntie, wait a minute, I'll call my mother."
