The county magistrate brought Mr. Xu and several yamen servants to Xiaozhang Village in a carriage.

And there were a lot of gifts on the carriage, after all, they came this time because of Zhang Siyuan's injury.

"Master County Magistrate, you...you..."

Li Zheng just walked to the door of Zhang's house, and saw people getting off the carriage not far away, his voice changed in fright.

The old lady of the Zhang family heard the movement and hurriedly came out to greet them.

"My lord? Why do you have time to come over to our little Zhangzhuang today?"

Hearing what the old lady of the Zhang family said, the county magistrate immediately came to his senses.

"Sir, you are..."

Just as Li Zheng was about to say something, he saw several yamen servants behind Master Xu, all of whom received gift boxes.

The county magistrate smiled and said: "I also heard that Brother Zhang was injured, so I took advantage of my free time today and came to visit."

Li Zheng was shocked, he didn't expect the county magistrate to come to visit them because an ordinary citizen was injured.

But thinking about the current situation of the Zhang family, it seems that they are no longer ordinary people.What's more, the things Zhu Qiuqi did were all beneficial to the country and the people.

He had heard from Zhu Qiuqi before that if those things were reported to the court, it would be a good thing for the county magistrate.

Thinking of this, Li Zheng could understand why the county magistrate came to visit because Zhang Siyuan was injured.

Looking at the old lady of the Zhang family who was still in a daze, Li Zheng hurriedly reminded her.

"Sister-in-law of the Zhang family, quickly invite your lord, Mr. Xu, and a few other officials to sit inside."

The old lady of the Zhang family suddenly came back to her senses, and hurriedly stepped out of the way.

"Yes, sir, please sit inside, Mr. Xu, and several officials also sit inside."

Zhu Qiuqi also put down her work when she heard the movement in the guest room.

The old lady of the Zhang family hurriedly greeted, "Qiu Qi, quickly serve tea to the adults."

Zhu Qiuqi saluted and went to the kitchen to boil water. Zhang Siyuan was also helped by Pei Yuan at this time.

Seeing that Zhang Siyuan's legs were really unable to walk normally, both the county magistrate and Master Xu felt very sorry.

They had seen Zhang Siyuan's force before, it would be a pity if such a person really became lame.

"How's Brother Zhang's leg?"

"Please worry, my lord, Cao Min's leg is fine. Qiu Qi said that after a period of time, she can walk normally."

The county magistrate and Mr. Xu also secretly heaved a sigh of relief when they heard the words.

"That's good. I wish my lady good medical skills. With her, brother Zhang's leg injury shouldn't be a big problem."

Several people were talking politely, and Zhu Qiuqi also made some snacks, which made Master Xu and the others' eyes brighten up a bit.

"Madam Zhu is really ingenious. I'm afraid only she can cook this kind of food."

Tasting the meat that was crispy on the outside and inside, the county magistrate couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

He is not a person who is short of meat. Although he cannot eat meat for three meals a day, he can still eat meat once a day.

Because he has a good family background, he is not like the usual Qingshui county magistrate who wants to eat bran and swallow vegetables all day long.

"Well, it's just that the children in the family are greedy, so Qiu Qi made some for them."

The county magistrate understands.

"I rarely have free time today. I wonder if Li Zheng can take me to the village to have a look. I heard that you have built several new workshops here these days."

Li Zheng understood clearly and said, "Of course it's okay. The county magistrate invites you here."

Seeing that Li Zheng took the county magistrate and his party to another village, the old lady of the Zhang family couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Although it's not the first time we've seen the county magistrate, this sudden visit is also scary."

The old lady of the Zhang family couldn't help muttering to Zhu Qiuqi who was on the side.

Zhu Qiuqi was happy, "Mother, I'm afraid the county magistrate will stay at our house for dinner today. Please help me to buy some vegetables and meat in the cafeteria."

Nowadays, the canteen in Xiaozhangzhuang not only sells meat, but some people even grow more vegetables, chickens and ducks in their homes, and they will sell them in the back of the canteen.

In this way, if the cooks in the cafeteria do not have enough ingredients, they can go directly to the backyard to buy them.

Although the old lady of the Zhang family was surprised that the county magistrate would stay at home, but considering that the county magistrate came today for Zhang Siyuan, it was normal to stay at their house.

"You're right, I'm going to buy some right now."

Li Zheng, on the other hand, took the county magistrate to Liujiazhuang first. When he saw the cement workshop there, Li Zheng was also quite shocked.

"Is this the road paved with these things?"

Li Zheng nodded, "Now that the cement road has been paved to Sunjiazhuang, can you go and see it?"

Naturally, the county magistrate would not refuse, and followed Lizheng to Sunjiazhuang, only to find that the inside was as clean as Xiaozhangzhuang.

After Sun Hong received the news from Xiao Zhangzhuang, he rushed over immediately.

Sure enough, as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, he saw the county magistrate coming towards him.

"Your road is clean."

Sun Hong glanced at Xiao Zhangzhuang's Lizheng, saw him nodding, and then laughed.

"My lord doesn't know that this road is precious to us. At first, we didn't dare to walk on it. After getting used to it, we can walk on it with peace of mind, but we still don't want to pile up some debris on the road."

Now every household has moved all the dry firewood in front of the yard to the backyard, so that the front yard can be tidier, so that it can match the clean road.

Moreover, every household also took the initiative to clean the road in front of their own yard, which saved someone from cleaning it on purpose.

The county magistrate nodded with satisfaction, his eyes filled with joy that could not be concealed.

When he came back from Sunjiazhuang, Li Zheng asked the county magistrate to go to the village committee.

The county magistrate was also quite moved by the place called 'Village Committee'.

If every village had such an office, it would be much more convenient for him to manage these villages.

"Could it be possible that the cement workshop in Liujiazhuang was also bought by Mrs. Zhu?"

After looking around the cement road, the magistrate couldn't help but ask.

Li Zheng was taken aback, thinking of what the county magistrate checked today, he understood a little bit.

"My lord, you have misunderstood. This cement workshop does not belong to Mrs. Zhu. It was purchased collectively by our Xiaozhuang. It belongs to everyone in our Xiaozhuang."

The county magistrate was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but follow Master Xu.

It was also the first time Master Xu had heard of a workshop belonging to the entire village. Seeing the sign from the county magistrate, Master Xu poured tea for Lizheng himself.

Li Zheng hurriedly held the cup with both hands, feeling flattered in his heart.

"Lizheng might as well tell us about the workshop in this village. This is the first time I've heard of it."

Li Zheng did not hide the matter from the county magistrate and Master Xu, but told Zhu Qiuqi's original proposal.

"Qiu Qi was the one who made the suggestion at the beginning. She also wanted to improve the lives of our villagers, so she proposed to let the whole village set up workshops."
