Luo Xiaoran now just wants to confirm whether all her ideas can be realized with Wang Dandan’s current level.

After receiving a positive reply, Luo Xiaoran expressed her satisfaction and planned to go to the city in the afternoon to buy writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone.

The construction team’s wages are higher than those of the land reclamation team, but they are not calculated on a daily basis. The time limit is two months, and the house must be built within two months.

The material fee was paid by Luo Xiaoran, and the total wages for the entire construction team were packaged at fifty taels and given directly to Wang Dandan.

Wang Dandan was very satisfied with the wages and immediately said that he would take his men to clean up the homestead first.

Luo Xiaoran readily agreed and watched Wang Dandan leave in high spirits.

"Chen'er, I was so careless that I forgot to buy the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Can you go with me to buy them?"

Luo Xingchen nodded obediently.

After a nap, the two energetic people happily took out their Chou Li, the taller blue horse, and planned to go into the city.

When Luo Xiaoran named the horse Chouli, the handsome horse strongly protested.

At that time, its two nostrils exhaled violently, as if saying:

I am so handsome, but you named me "Ugly". Don't you feel guilty? Also, I have been with you all the way. What's the meaning of "leave"?

Of course, its protest was ineffective. Luo Xiaoran had her own reasons for choosing this name.

"Li" is the homonym of "Li", yes, it refers to Uncle Li!

Uncle Li did not reveal his name along the way, and Luo Xiaoran did not go out of her way to dig out the name of a strange uncle, so she just called him "Uncle Li, Uncle Li", only knowing that his surname was Li.

Now that I think about it, maybe this last name is just a lie! This bastard!

Let’s not go off topic and get back to talking about the horse’s name.

"Chou Li" means "Ugly Li" or "Stinky Li", in short, it is an exaggerated compliment to Uncle Li.

Because he was afraid that Luo Xingchen would think that Luo Xiaoran was targeting Uncle Li when he heard the word "Li", he deliberately chose the homonym "Li", which also implied that Uncle Li left ruthlessly.

Before leaving the village, Luo Xiaoran was blocked by a thin figure.

She raised her head, looked at Luo Xiaoran timidly but resolutely, and breathed heavily nervously.

Luo Xiaoran had an impression of her.

That day, she followed Uncle Niu's ox cart to Hexi Village. Everyone on the cart sat quite far away from the girl, as if there was some taboo.

Although Luo Xiaoran was not far from the ox cart, she couldn't really look at the little girl who kept her head down the whole time.

Today I saw her appearance clearly.

He has delicate features and a thin face, which makes his eyes look particularly large, and his lips are a little pale.

The clothes he wore were neat, but had several conspicuous patches on them. Even in autumn, he was still wearing a pair of leaky straw sandals.

"Miss Luo, my name is Du Kongqing. I would like to ask you to let me go to open up wasteland and earn money." Du Kongqing spoke, his voice was a little hoarse and not loud.

"Kong Qing, what's the name of the herb?"

Luo Xiaoran drove her horse while walking in the village, so Kong Qing, who rushed out, was not doing a stupid thing like stopping a galloping horse in the street.

Luo Xiaoran didn't bother with her.

"Yes, Kongqing can improve eyesight. Daddy gave me this name because he wanted me to be able to distinguish right from wrong."

Hearing that Luo Xiaoran knew her name was a medicinal herb, Du Kongqing explained very happily.

"It's a nice name. You said you wanted to go explore the wasteland? But I don't think I saw you in the team before."

Luo Xiaoran has a good memory. The villagers who came included both men and women, of all ages, but Kong Qing did not come.

"I didn't know you were hiring before." Du Kongqing closed his eyes and answered with great disappointment.

"Even if you come, I won't hire you. Kong Qing, you are too thin and weak to do such heavy work."

Although Luo Xiaoran could see that Kong Qing was very poor, she still told him the truth.

In her opinion, the right people should do the right things and everyone should perform their duties.

"I can do it! I worked on our two acres of land by myself! Besides, I don't want thirty cents, just give me twenty cents a day."

When Du Kongqing heard that Luo Xiaoran would not hire her, he immediately became anxious and said that he was very capable and cheap.

Luo Xiaoran felt very sympathetic towards this little girl with clear eyes and was willing to help her, but she still had to go to the village chief to inquire about her situation, so she comforted her:

"I'll consider it, but I'm in a hurry to go to the county town now. You can come to see me tomorrow morning."

Hearing Luo Xiaoran's affirmative answer, Du Kongqing felt like he had received a great gift from heaven, and his voice trembled: "Thank you, Miss Luo, thank you!"

Luo Xiaoran hurriedly stopped her from thanking him continuously and continued to drive out of the village towards the county town.

On the way, Luo Xingchen was still thinking about the girl just now: "Chen'er, tell me, why is Du Kongqing, a little girl, being ostracized by the villagers?"

Although Luo Xingchen still didn't speak, he came out of the car and sat next to Luo Xiaoran, expressing his desire to continue the topic.

"I remember what Sister Cuilan said at the time: 'We are from the same village, why don't we help each other? Do we have to trip each other up behind the scenes? We will be stabbed in the back by others!'

Yes, just after saying this, everyone in the car looked at Du Kongqing.

It was the village chief’s daughter Zhang Xiuqiao who smoothed things over, and the atmosphere didn’t become so awkward.”

Luo Xiaoran recalled the scene when she first met Kong Qing and continued to analyze:

"Could it be that Du Kongqing did something to hurt others? That's why the villagers are avoiding her."

Luo Xingchen also pursed his lips, looking serious, which made Luo Xiaoran laugh:

"Don't you think she doesn't look like that?"

Luo Xingchen nodded first, then shook his head, which made Luo Xiaoran even happier. He said in a gentle and persuasive manner:

"You're nodding and shaking your head. I really don't understand what you mean. Why don't you just say it yourself?"

This was the umpteenth time Luo Xiaoran had used this topic to get Luo Xingchen to speak.

Luo Xingchen was stunned immediately, he opened his mouth to say something, but all that came out was air from his throat.

He really wanted to say something so as not to disappoint his sister, but he couldn't say it, and his face turned red.

"Okay, okay, Chen'er, forget it if you can't say it. You will be able to say it slowly in the future. Don't hold it back, dear~~"

Luo Xiaoran felt sorry for Chen'er at this moment. She rubbed his hair as usual and comforted him slowly until Luo Xingchen completely calmed down.

"Everything will be fine, and our lives will become happier and happier."

Luo Xiaoran said to Luo Xingchen gently.

She no longer wanted to scold Uncle Li in her heart. She just wanted him to come back safely, untie Chen'er's knot in her heart, and let her hear Chen'er's baby voice again.
