Chapter 131 About Candidates
"Yeah." Lu Yuan nodded with a red face and took the child into the space to play. When Xiao Li put his mental power in, he heard Xiao Ruixue's curious voice.
"Little Daddy's face is red~"
"No, baby, you saw it wrong."
"Yes, yes~ Baby, you didn't see it wrong, little daddy can't lie~"
"Okay, little daddy is just blushing. It's too hot. Is it hot, baby? Do you want a hairdryer?"
"It's not hot, little daddy." The little guy obviously wanted to ask his husband something, but he interrupted and diverted his attention, "Baby, what do you want to play? Where's Jing'er?"
After withdrawing his mental strength, Xiao Li began to clean up the house. It took him more than half an hour to clean the house inside and out and make the bed.
Just as I washed my hands, there was a knock on the door, "Fourth Brother Xiao, Grandpa asked me to come and see you."
Erzhuzi's voice came from outside, and Xiao Li responded "I know" and went to open the door.
"Fourth Brother Xiao, the number of people has been counted. There are 430 young and strong people in Yangliu Village. Fifth Grandpa wants to ask you how to arrange them?" Erzhuzi had an attitude of complete trust in Xiao Li and didn't think there was anything wrong with his grandfather asking Xiao Li what to do.
Not only that, he saw water stains on Xiao Li's hands and thought he had just been washing something and hadn't cleaned the house yet. He immediately rolled up his sleeves and said, "Fourth Brother Xiao, is there any other work you need to do? Just tell me. Now that I don't have to farm, my life is so easy and leisurely. I'm almost getting moldy from being idle."
"Everything is ready, don't bother." Xiao Li took him to the main room and brought him some snacks. "I was busy cleaning the house just now and haven't boiled any water yet, so I won't offer you any."
"It's okay, it's okay, Fourth Brother Xiao, you're too polite." Er Zhuzi waved his hands quickly, "If it weren't for you, Fourth Brother Xiao, I don't know if I would still be alive."
"It's not that I saved you, it's just that you're lucky." Xiao Li didn't like trouble, nor did he like this kind of push-and-pull. "Okay, let's get down to business. Fifth Grandpa asked you to ask me, is it because he's busy right now and can't get away?"
Logically speaking, such an important matter should not be passed on by a junior. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that something was wrong with Xiao Laofu's behavior.
Erzhuzi held a piece of candy in his mouth and nodded, "It's about that Zhang family's repayment of the money. They insisted that grandpa go with them, fearing that someone would cheat or something."
"Yeah." Xiao Li nodded, not caring at all, and turned his attention to the business. "Those who have only one man in the family can stay in the village to protect the women, children, and the elderly. The others will be divided into two groups. Those who are strong and fast can go into the mountains, and the rest will be responsible for patrolling and defending the area around the village.
After the refugees in the mountains are dealt with, the number of patrol and defense personnel can be reduced appropriately, but they can be arranged to patrol day and night in shifts to prevent any fish from slipping through the net and causing trouble.
In addition, it is best for villagers to try not to be alone, especially when leaving the village. Try to travel in groups, and it is best to have a man accompany you.
Continue this for a year or two, and then see what the situation is like outside. If it is peaceful outside, then we can almost restore it to its previous state. If the disaster outside has not passed, then we will continue to keep it as it is.
......"
Xiao Li told him his thoughts, and finally added, "Fifth Grandfather is the village chief. The specific arrangements still have to be made according to Fifth Grandfather's decision."
"Grandpa said that Fourth Brother Xiao is knowledgeable and I plan to listen to him!" Erzhuzi directly sold out his grandfather.
"Fifth Grandpa is just talking, don't take it seriously." Xiao Li was not interested in getting involved in too many things. He came back this time to solve the refugee problem once and for all.
Otherwise, if my grandparents find out about it in the future, they will worry again and might even want to make a trip back.
Erzhuzi didn't know what he was thinking, but after all, he had worked with Ma Xiao for a while, so at least he had the ability to read people's expressions.
Seeing that Xiao Li didn't want to continue this topic, he stopped talking about it and talked about something else, "By the way, Fourth Brother Xiao, how long do you and your wife plan to stay in the village this time? Is there anything you need at home?"
In fact, he had asked this question a long time ago, and now he was just making small talk. After all, they hadn't seen each other for so many years, so they were still a little unfamiliar. In addition, Xiao Li had done him a favor, so he didn't want to get close to him for the time being, for fear that Xiao Li would misunderstand that he wanted to stay by his side.
Although this question had been asked countless times today, Xiao Li showed no impatience. He simply said calmly, "It depends on my husband and the child. If it's fast, it might take ten days or half a month, or it might take three or two years."
It is true that Nan'an County is peaceful now, but there is still chaos outside. He brought his husband and children back not to make them suffer, but to let them have fun.
He couldn't change what happened on the way to Liangzhou, but he didn't need to rush back. After things settled down outside, he could take his husband and children to see around and then return to the capital.
They can also do some good deeds on the way to fulfill the promises they made to their families before leaving home.
"Then when I'm done with my work, can I take my nephews out to play?" Erzhuzi really likes the fairy-like Xiao Ruixue. Of course, he also likes the taciturn Xiao Ruijing. "I know a lot of fun places, but the things in the mountains haven't grown well yet, so there's nothing delicious.
When you guys come back next time, there should be plenty of food in the mountains. My nephews should be much older by then, so it would be great to take them to the mountains to play."
"It depends on them." Xiao Li gave the children enough freedom to play. As long as there was no danger and they were accompanied by elders, he would basically agree.
"Then I'll ask my nephew and the others!" Er Zhuzi said, then he realized that he didn't see the two little guys. Even Lu Yuan didn't see them, and he didn't even hear their voices. He couldn't help but feel a little strange, "Why can't I see my nephew and sister-in-law Lang and the others?"
"They're sleeping in the house. I'll ask them after they wake up. There's no rush." Xiao Li calmly changed the subject. "You can first screen the candidates. Pick out those families with only one young and strong person. Divide the rest into two groups. Once Fifth Grandpa is done, give them to him for review and let him decide."
"That's right!" Erzhuzi slapped his forehead, "Why didn't I think of doing this! Thanks to Fourth Brother Xiao for reminding me. I'll go back now to pick the people and decide on them as soon as possible so that we can go into the mountains earlier tomorrow!"
Once he gets rid of those refugees, he can take his little nephew out to play!
Seeing that he was in a hurry to leave, Xiao Li nodded lightly, "Okay."
