Travel to the famine year to go to the sea, and become rich with the zombie girlfriend

When the door was kicked open, everyone inside and outside the yard was stunned, and seemed to be wondering why this situation had happened.

"Old Xia, you're not dead?" Liang Qingshan didn't notice Xia Wude holding a shovel. He hurried forward to check him up and down, wondering, "Why are you a little fatter than the last time we met?"

"Master Liang, I'm alive and well. Who said I was dead?" Xia Wude was a little unhappy and said depressedly, "And why did you tear down my front door?"

Even though he is the county magistrate, he cannot destroy the property of ordinary people at will.

Liang Qingshan was stunned, and laughed awkwardly when he thought of his previous behavior. Xiao Shunzi immediately stepped forward to explain.

Although Xiao Shunzi is only 17 years old, he is very good at speaking and can explain the whole cause and effect in just a few words.

Xia Wude was deeply moved after hearing this and said, "I didn't expect that you still care about us, County Magistrate Liang. It's too cold outside, let's go inside and talk."

Xiao Shunzi followed County Magistrate Liang and Xia Wude into the house. Tiezhu invited the other officers and soldiers to other rooms for tea.

"So warm?!" County Magistrate Liang was shocked. He glanced at the small table on the kang, where hot wine was placed. His cheeks couldn't help but twitch twice. "Xia Lichang, are you drinking?"

For the first time, he felt a huge gap in his heart. He was outside, worried and frightened, enduring the biting cold wind every day to clear a path, but others were sitting in the warm house drinking wine.

It's really enviable and jealous.

"I've been very happy recently, so I just had two drinks." Xia Wude quickly extended his hand and respectfully invited County Magistrate Liang, "County Magistrate Liang, you must have been very cold on the way here. Please sit down and have a drink."

"I'll also report to you on the recent situation in the village."

Liang Qingshan took off his heavy coat, sat on the kang table and asked in confusion: "What is this?"

"Squid shreds," Xia Wude introduced enthusiastically, "are made from squid from the ocean. They're perfect for drinking. And this fried small yellow croaker, you should try too. They're very fresh, just caught yesterday..."

"Captain Xia? What do you mean? Can we still fish in this sea?" Xiao Shunzi swallowed his saliva and asked excitedly.

"Of course," Xia Wude said, raising his chin with some pride. "Going out to sea is very dangerous. Only Xia Qingqing's family can go fishing. But she sells everything she catches to the villagers at a low price."

"If you don't have money, you can write an IOU. Most importantly, she also helps the elderly and widows. Those without children or husbands can go to her and get food for free. She even calls them the "Five Guarantees" households."

County Magistrate Liang and Xiao Shunzi were both stunned, and their heads began to digest the information.

"Xia Qingqing, is she a woman?" Liang Qingshan immediately developed a deep respect for this woman. To be able to help others at this time, she must be a person with great love in her heart.

"She's a girl, only 18 years old this year."

"18 years old? That means she is only one year older than me?" Xiao Shunzi was even more surprised. How could such a young woman go out fishing alone? She was really an extraordinary person.

"Xiao Shunzi, try these shredded squid and small yellow croaker. They were given to me by Qingqing." Xia Wude saw that Xiao Shunzi was just like his own child, so he quickly gave him some food to eat. He continued, "Not only that, the warmth in this house is also thanks to Qingqing. She discovered a unique fuel called coal. Now several villages are burning it, and it's as cheap as firewood..."

"Take me to see her quickly."

Before he finished speaking, Liang Qingshan was already impatient to meet this extraordinary woman.

Xia Wude could understand Liang Qingshan's feelings, so he put on his coat without saying anything and followed him out.

It was almost noon, and smoke was rising from every household, emitting a variety of delicious aromas, which made the officers and soldiers start to swallow their saliva.

"Arrange for them to check every household."

After going out, Liang Qingshan whispered to Xiao Shunzi to go and see the actual situation in the village, while he followed Xia Wude closely.

After a while, all the officers and soldiers came back.

"Your Excellency, I just went to a young widow's house. They eat wild boar meat..."

"Sir, the fool in the village is eating pork elbow at home alone..."

Crabs, fish and shrimp...

The more Liang Qingshan listened, the uglier his expression became, and he looked a little helpless.

He was very happy that the people were living a good life, but who would have thought that he, a county magistrate, could not even eat as well as the villagers.

His wife was pregnant and had never even had fish soup.

Thinking of this, he felt extremely guilty, and when he touched the few copper coins left in his pocket, he felt even more uncomfortable.

"Qingqing!" Xia Wude shouted to the courtyard before he even entered it.

The Huo family in the house had just prepared the meal when they heard Xia Wude's voice. Xia Qingqing agreed, "Uncle Wude, come in and talk."

When the curtain in the room was lifted, a man in official uniform was seen following behind Xia Wude. However, the uniform had many patches on it and his boots were covered in mud.

"Qingqing, this is the magistrate of Qinghe Town, Liang County."

"Liang County Magistrate, this is Xia Qingqing."

Xia Wude introduced the two men, and Xia Qingqing immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Liang County Magistrate."

"Good," Liang Qingshan nodded and praised, "I heard from Old Xia that it was thanks to you that several villages were able to survive this snowstorm. You are truly great..."

Before he could finish his words, Liang Qingshan saw what was on the kang table: two whole roast chickens, plates of pork, crabs, rabbit meat, and braised prawns...

It was already the time for a banquet, and he once doubted whether he was the county magistrate of Qingshan Town.

Their lives are so good, why don’t I know anything?

"It's such an honor for us to have Magistrate Liang come to our house. We must try some of the home-cooked meals..." Huo Gang's legs and feet have gotten much better and he can already get out of bed and walk.

He warmly invited County Magistrate Liang to take a seat, and Mrs. Ding also enthusiastically served Liang Qingshan a large bowl full of rice.

“This rice…”

The white and tender rice exuded a strong aroma, which suddenly increased Liang Qingshan's appetite after he had just drunk a few glasses of wine.

He hasn't eaten refined rice for two years.

"I, Old Xia, also benefited from the county magistrate's help." Xia Wude also accepted the rice served by Xu Xiuxiu, and his heart was filled with joy.

"Girl, go get the wine that Qingqing bought for me and ask the county magistrate to have a taste..." Huo Gang said to Huo Xiaoniu.

The girl pursed her lips, feeling a little unhappy.

The wine was clearly bought for cooking, so why did his father say it was for him?

At this time, Huo Yihan walked in slowly, and Liang Qingshan, who was lying on the kang, stood up suddenly, with a look of shock in his eyes, and he stammered and couldn't speak.
