Chapter 323 Looking at each other and smiling
"I don't need to go back and work like a slave."
"Hey~~~ I'm old and can't stand long journeys. Princess, you can understand!"
After saying that, he held his head, looking as if he was in great pain and about to collapse.
The scene was so contrived that it left one speechless.
Grand Duke: ······
Sometimes, he felt that the new emperor and the retired emperor had many similarities, such as their love of acting!
Xia Yining:...
I feel like they are a real father and son, such a loving father and filial son.
Helplessly, he persuaded: "Such a big thing must be handled by you. The new emperor is still young. What if someone bullies him?"
The retired emperor was seen holding his head and looking at her furtively, looking just like an old child.
The old saying is indeed true, old children are always children, the older they get, the more childish they become.
"Yes, let's go back together this time."
"After this is over, if you still want to come back, how about bringing dad and mom back with you?"
The emperor was unwilling in his heart, but he nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, I will come back with the He couple when the time comes, and you can't stop us."
The eunuch glanced at his master secretly. He had a hunch that the emperor would not come back once he returned to the capital this time.
After coaxing the master, Xia Yining went to inform others.
The saddest ones are the He couple. It is said that it is hard to leave one's hometown, especially the older people, who all like to return to their roots.
Old man He hesitated several times, wanting to say something.
When he was discovered by Mrs. He, she tugged at his clothes and said with a smile, "Listen to Ning'er, and I'll have someone pack up in a while."
Xia Yining also felt reluctant, so he took the initiative to bring it up.
"If mom and dad don't want to go back to the capital, they can stay in Xiaotian Village. Ning'er can come back more often in the future. Anyway, it will be quick to come back now."
"After all, Ning'er didn't think it through enough and forgot that this is my parents' hometown."
The children in the Zuo Xiangfu all liked the old couple very much. When they listened to the adults talking, they would throw themselves into their arms, with grandpa on the left and grandma on the right.
He kept saying that he was reluctant to leave them and wanted them to return to the capital with him.
When they were in the capital, the old couple were especially kind to their children. Whenever they returned home, they would be given delicious food and they took good care of their children as if they were their own.
Even when they made mistakes, the children would run to the old couple's yard to seek shelter.
Other people in the Left Prime Minister's Mansion laughed and joked privately, saying that these little brats were smart and would find a backer.
After living in the capital for many years, the two of them were very happy. They would get a share of anything that the younger generations showed filial piety, just like Lao Xia and Yan'er.
Thinking of this, He Laoyou looked at the children with a smile and nodded: "Go back, go back, let's go home together."
The children in the yard cheered instantly, and promised one after another: "Grandpa He is the best. We will definitely be filial to you in the future."
This made everyone laugh.
Even Old Xia laughed and joked: "You guys are happy that when you go back to get beaten, someone will protect you. Your little butts have found a backer."
The kids' faces were all red, and they were all embarrassed.
During the remaining time, Xia Yining and Xi Zhiyi flew to explore the south and found that the water levels had receded in many places.
The people's houses have been repaired, but the original fields have been turned into lakes or widened rivers.
They can only reclaim wasteland at high altitudes, and it is very inconvenient to water the fields.
As for the previous roads, many of them are no longer accessible, and county magistrates from all over the country are working hard to open up new roads.
She ran to a few more hills, found some things, and brought them back to the small yard.
After processing, it becomes cement.
The hardness is slightly lower, but there is no problem using it for paving roads.
Now the new head of Xiaotian Village is the son of the old head of the village, and he has taken over the management of the village.
When he was called over, he was surprised to see that the He family's yard had changed drastically.
He couldn't help jumping on the ground several times and couldn't help praising it: "This is really a good thing. In the future, when it rains, the shoes won't be dirty with mud."
Thinking of the main road in the village, he blushed and asked, "Princess, it doesn't matter what this is. Can I buy some in the village?"
"This way, when people come to visit, their shoes will be cleaner."
Xia Yining smiled and said, "I called you here today for this matter. Master Xi and I found it outside, and we have already asked the guards to go dig it up the mountain."
“If we want to pave the road in Xiaotian Village as well, we need the villagers to contribute.”
"Once the road is paved, we will set off back to Beijing."
When the village head heard that they were leaving soon, he felt sad and rubbed his hands and said, "So soon."
"It feels like the eldest princess hasn't been back for long, but we have to leave here."
"You are being too polite. You can still call me Ning'er."
"No matter where I go back to, Xiaotian Village is my hometown. As long as Ning'er is here, she will protect the villagers."
"I also ask the village head to look after the talents in the village."
The head of the village was very happy to hear that her words were full of intimacy and there was no hint of alienation at all.
He nodded and said, "Don't worry, Ning'er, I will take good care of those brats."
"Well, there is also a portion of the profits that the village gives to Ning'er, which is left for her to study, regardless of whether she is a boy or a girl."
"If they become successful in the future, Ning'er will be waiting for them in the capital."
The headman's eyes turned red when he heard this. His father had specifically told him before he died that if the princess wanted to leave, the villagers must not cause trouble for her.
The young people in the village are not allowed to go to the capital to look for her just by relying on their friendship.
Unexpectedly, the little girl in front of me was willing to get close to the villagers.
He immediately stood up and assured earnestly: "Oda Village is still the same as before, and will always be the eldest princess's family."
"Whenever you need help, just shout, and we will all be there to support you."
Xia Yining nodded and agreed with a smile.
The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
In the next few days, Xiaotian Village was very busy. All the laborers went out to move things, and even the elderly cleaned up the debris on the streets.
Everyone worked together, and the guards who knew how to use cement personally taught the villagers how to pave cement roads.
There were laughter and joy wherever they went. The head of the village even used the village's money to buy a big fat pig and ate pig-killing meals for several days in a row.
It was not until seven days later that everyone walked onto the cement floor, which was completely dry. All the villagers, young and old, walked around happily.
The He family's courtyard and the Xi family's farm also began to pack up their things, and only then did the villagers know that they were leaving.
Although my heart was filled with reluctance, I still suppressed my sadness and started to prepare things, including getting to know the good guards in the village, who all received shoes made by the villagers.
He held it in his arms for a long time and ran to the mountains to find some as a return gift.
