You are my golden finger

Chapter 226: Horse Racing Youth Tour (1)

"Sister, Brother Hao and Sister Ruyue are going back to the headquarters of the Seven Stars Pavilion. We want to travel to the southwest with them. Is that okay?" Qinglan asked Lin Xijin with a smile.

"Oh? How many people are going together? When do you plan to set off?" Lin Xijin asked.

"We plan to set off in early March, but we haven't decided how many people will go. My brother and the others have to go to court. Sister, can you go with us?" Xijia's face was full of anticipation.

"I'm afraid I can't. Manman and the others are still too young, and it's not convenient for them to go out. Let me discuss this with your brother-in-law and let Xihui and the others go with you on a field trip to the southwest, so you can work and have fun at the same time."

"Yeah! Sister, you are the best!" Qinglan cheered immediately.

The result of Lin Xijin and Murong Xu's discussion was naturally that all the young couples were allowed to travel together, along with Erhu, Lin Siyu and An An, three high-wattage light bulbs.

Duan Jingyun and Chen Lele were reluctant to go out as the fuel-powered car they were going to invent was at a critical juncture and they were reluctant to give up.

"You five are going out for both fun and investigation this time. During the trip, you must have a keen sense of nose and understand the local customs and habits, resources, government affairs, etc., especially the local government administration, which is the object of your assessment. With first-hand materials, you can plan for future governance and development. After you come back this time, the important task of the country will be entrusted to you." Murong Xu called Xihui, Xinfeng, Xingcheng, Xiaowen and Wu Beijing, and instructed them earnestly.

"We will keep in mind the emperor's edict!" the five people answered seriously.

So, five rising stars in the court, holding the golden medal of "As if I were here in person", started their journey to the southwest with their beloved girls.

Mu Jin and Cheng Zheng also followed, they were both members of the tour group and the doctors accompanying the group. Lin Xijin gave each of them 500 taels of silver notes as travel expenses.

"When you arrive in Jiuchang County, take Xingyuan and Nanxing with you. They have worked so hard in Jiuchang for so long, so let them relax for a while."

"Qi Jinghao, you are bringing so many people out this time, and their safety is in my hands. The southwest area is your old nest, so you must not make any mistakes for me." Lin Xijin still reminded Qi Jinghao.

"How could that be possible! Just rest assured, I promise there will be no problem." Qi Jinghao promised.

Lin Xijin left all other matters to Qi Jinghao and Ming Ruyue and no longer asked about them.

The sign of Qixing Pavilion is there, and there are their branches along the way. Food, clothing, housing and transportation are arranged by someone, so there is really nothing to worry about.

Because the journey was long and there were some delicate girls like Yuehe and Shangguan Qing, everyone traveled in the shock-proof carriage modified by Lin Xijin's family.

"Sister, let's go. Wait for me to bring back gifts for you and Manman and the others!" Before leaving, An An walked up to Lin Xijin and gave her a loving hug, expressing her feelings first.

Others followed suit and said goodbye.

Lin Xijin said that her heart as an old mother was comforted.

The cement road from Kyoto to Jiuchang has been fully connected, and the trees along the road have grown lush and green after two years of growth. The young man was full of vigor and enthusiasm, and the carriage drove all the way, and it took four days to reach Jiuchang County.

After two years of development, Jiuchang County has taken on a new look, with neatly arranged houses, spacious and clean streets, and a vibrant and energetic atmosphere everywhere.

That night, the group stayed in a house in the new city of Jiangning Prefecture, and Xingyuan and Nanxing also came to live together. Everyone decided to rest in Jiuchang County for a day, take a look at the local development, and then set off for the capital.

In order to investigate the people's situation, everyone decided to split up and go to each new urban area to check out the current living conditions of the victims.

Xihui, Xijia, Xinfeng and Xinlan formed a group of four, changed into everyday civilian clothes and prepared to go to Yixiu Town first, and then visit other towns along the way.

"An An, do you want to go with us?" Xin Lan asked An An before leaving.

"I'm not going with you. I want to stay with Sister Ruyue and find something delicious!" Foodies An An and Ming Ruyue have long had similar tastes.

As the four of them walked along, they saw that all the houses in the new urban area had been occupied. The green belts outside and the residents' courtyards were planted with flowers, plants and trees, all of which were shaded by green trees, forming a beautiful landscape.

"Auntie, do you live here? We are from another place and would like to rent a house here. Is it easy to rent?" Xi Jia turned into a social expert and approached an old lady selling vegetables to ask some questions.

"Hey, girl, it's not easy to rent a house in our Yixiu Town. There are a lot of people and it's quite full. Everyone has money and is not willing to rent a house out of the house." The old lady had a loud voice.

"Are you not short of money? Didn't the disaster just happen not long ago?" Xin Lan was a little surprised.

"Yes, we bought our houses with the resettlement money distributed by the court after the disaster. The emperor, the prince, and the princess came to help us after the disaster and arranged for us to work, so we all had income. Later, they distributed high-yield grain seeds for free. Now we grow and sell grain, and our lives are better than before the disaster." The old lady said this with some emotion.

"Alas, what a pity! My old man was unlucky and died in the disaster." An old woman nearby sighed.

"Grandma, the dead are gone. Let's look forward, raise our children and grandchildren well, and live a good life. This will also comfort uncle." Xihui comforted.

"Yes, young man, you are right. Look forward! Look forward!" the old lady echoed.

"Young man, you should go to Jiangning Prefecture, or the following districts. There are fewer people there, and it is easier to rent a house there." The old lady said enthusiastically when saying goodbye.

After walking around, we saw that the victims had all moved into new houses and were now well-fed and well-clothed. It seemed like a world away from the hardship and misery we had seen when we came to provide disaster relief.

Perhaps it was because Murong Xu had spent a lot of effort to crack down on corrupt officials during the disaster relief work, and now the politics is clear, the people are harmonious, and a prosperous scene is presented everywhere.

"Sister, brother, you're back? I bought you some delicious food." As soon as she got home, An An, the little foodie, came in front of them holding a food box as if presenting a treasure.

"What's delicious?" Xin Lan asked.

"Guess?" An An was playing tricks.

However, he still obediently opened the food box and served a bowl to each person, while introducing: "This is called brown sugar cold shrimp, sweet and sticky, very delicious. Sister Ruyue and I bought it at the entrance of a small courtyard."

"These shrimps are not real shrimps. They are made of glutinous rice into the shape of shrimps. They look so beautiful." An An was introducing the cold shrimps.

In addition, An An also took out several snacks as if presenting treasures.

"An An is awesome! I'm so lucky to have you around." Xi Jia still sticks to her habit of giving praise.

"Of course!" An An was still proud.

Although the little guy An An has already achieved the title of scholar, he is usually spoiled by everyone and seems to never grow up. There is no sense of the lack of his parents in him.
