I rely on infrastructure systems to build a prosperous village

Chapter 128 Tenderness

"Have you heard? Today is the village princess's coming-of-age celebration. All the restaurants in the villages are offering discounts."

"Really? Then I'm going to eat roast duck."

"I'll go ahead and eat hot pot. If I'm a step behind, I don't know how long I'll have to wait."

"Hey, wait for me, I'll go too."

……

When the foreign merchants heard this, their eyes lit up and they all ordered their servants to prepare a gift for Li Lan.

"Huo Wu, have I prepared the gift for the township lord?"

"Sir, it's ready."

"Okay, I'll go to Chun Man Lou later. Tell the shopkeeper about the money for the county lady's coming-of-age banquet today, and I'll keep it all with me."

"Yes, son."

At the dinner tonight, Zhou Yuntian and Li Chunhua both drank quite a bit of wine. One of them was happy and accepted all the drinks, while the other was a bit depressed and drank alone.

"Grandma, uncle, aunt, I have already discussed the proposal with my father, and he is very much in favor. Once I return to Bozhou Prefecture and make preparations, I will come to propose marriage. By then, I hope Grandma, uncle, and aunt will agree to this marriage."

When everyone at the table heard this, they all laughed happily.

Li Chunping picked up his wine glass and said with a smile, "Okay, Yuntian. As long as you treat my daughter well in the future, your uncle will have no reason to disagree. But if you treat her badly in the future, your uncle will not care where you come from and I will not let you go easily."

"Uncle, what you said makes sense. Yuntian will keep it in mind."

"Okay, come, Yuntian, have a drink with your uncle."

Li Lan looked at Li Chunping who picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and her eyes suddenly became red. She thought to herself: This is her father, the father who loves her very much.

Seeing them talking back and forth, Li Chunhua felt very bitter and picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

When Mrs. Wang saw his bitter smile and frown, her eyes widened, her heart tightened, she frowned and sighed, and couldn't help shaking her head.

After the dinner, everyone returned home. Li Chunping staggered as he walked and was helped into the room by Zhang.

"Hey, why did you drink so much? It's killing you."

Zhang glared at Li Chunping who was lying on the bed and shook her sore hands.

"You woman, my daughter is coming of age today, I'm so happy."

"Good, you're happy. Take a rest and be quiet."

Over here in Li Chunhua's room. Wang Pozi and Li Pozi helped him take off his coat and shoes, and fetched water to wipe his face. Suddenly, Wang Pozi sat down by the bed and sighed.

"Did the Madam see it?"

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Li walked up to her and asked.

Mrs. Wang looked up at her and asked in surprise, "You've already discovered it? Then why didn't you tell me?"

Mrs. Li sighed and frowned. "Madam, I wasn't too sure before, I just suspected it. But then I looked at it again and I didn't expect that the Fourth Master really had Miss Xinyue in his heart."

"Alas, what should we do? I hope the fourth brother can think clearly. There is no possibility between them."

"But, Madam..."

Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Mrs. Wang frowned and said, "What's the matter? Tell me."

"It's okay. I was just wondering if the Fourth Master and the young lady weren't uncle and nephew, would we be able to fight for it?"

When these words came out, Wang Pozi's heart skipped a beat. She immediately glanced at Li Pozi, and saw that she really had the hypothetical expression, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Even if they are not uncle and nephew, that is impossible. The eldest girl does not have that kind of feelings for the fourth brother. Let's not mention this matter again in the future."

"Yes, ma'am."

Late at night, there was a gentle knock on Li Lan's door. Li Lan opened his eyes in surprise, wondering: Who could it be at this late hour?

He got up, put on a coat, got out of bed and opened the door. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a handsome face with flushed cheeks.

"How did you..."

Before she could finish her words, Zhou Yuntian closed the door and walked in, hugged her and buried his head in her neck.

Li Lan felt itchy and wanted to push him away, but he held her hand tightly.

"Zhou Yuntian, are you planning to act like a hooligan while you're drunk?"

After waiting for a long while, there was no response, only the sound of even breathing. Li Lan shook his head helplessly, bent down and gave him a princess hug. With a few long strides, he carried him to the bed. He took off his coat and shoes and covered him with a quilt.

Li Lan sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the long eyelashes under his closed eyes, and couldn't help muttering, "Tsk tsk, his eyelashes are even longer than mine. And this face is really handsome. Now I can understand why some people in their previous lives were obsessed with finding handsome men. Having a handsome face is really pleasing to the eyes. If we have a quarrel one day, but see such a handsome face, what's wrong with giving way?"

After looking for a while, Li Lan couldn't help yawning, walked to the cupboard to take out another quilt, walked to the couch by the window and fell asleep.

The next day, at dawn, Li Lan was awakened by a burning gaze.

"Zhou Yuntian, it's so early in the morning, scaring people will kill them."

"Hehehe, girl, I just want to see you."

"Okay, go ahead and take a look."

Having said that, Li Lan closed his eyes again, wanting to take a nap.

Zhou Yuntian chuckled and said softly, "Girl, I'm leaving today. Once I've prepared the betrothal gifts, I'll come to propose marriage. You have to wait for me."

Li Lan suddenly opened his eyes, sat up hugging the quilt, stared at him closely and said, "Zhou Yuntian, are you serious?"

"Have I ever been unserious towards you?"

Seeing his frown and the determination in his eyes. Suddenly, Li Lan grabbed his collar and pulled it down. Their lips instantly covered each other, and their lips, teeth and tongues rolled back and forth.

After a while, the two separated, breathing heavily. Zhou Yuntian looked at her slightly swollen red lips with a deep look in his eyes, and his Adam's apple couldn't help but roll.

"Girl, after we get engaged, would you be willing to go back to Bianjing with me?"

Li Lan understood what he meant and nodded, "Okay, no matter if it's a mountain of swords or a sea of ​​fire, I will accompany you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yuntian hugged her tightly in his arms and said softly, "Thank you, girl."

After breakfast, Zhou Yuntian left. Li Lan, Cao Zhixing, Zhou Dawu, and several other men took the men who had come to work to the cobblestone beach in the back mountain. They would begin digging the canal today.

While Cao Zhixing was arranging everyone, Li Lan took Zhou Da and Zhou Wu to Nishangfang in Liujiawan.

As soon as I walked into the spacious and bright workshop in the backyard, Mrs. Wu came to greet me.

"Girl Lan, here she comes."

"Yes, Grandma Wu. I came to see how the batch of warm clothes is going?"

When Mrs. Wu heard this, her eyes were full of joy.

"I've made some. Come on, I'll take you to see them. You don't know, but those clothes are really good. They're light and warm."

Several people walked to a wooden rack where clothes were placed. Mrs. Wu took out a few pieces, unfolded them, and placed them on the wooden table for cutting clothes. What caught the eye were modern long duck down coats and duck down vests.

A smile flashed across Li Lan's eyes. He picked up one piece, touched it, and looked at the stitches, his eyes full of admiration.

"Grandma Wu, the stitches are so tight, so good."

"When we first started making it, you instructed us to make the stitches denser to prevent the duck feathers from falling out. So later on, when we were sewing, we all tried to make the stitches as fine as possible."

"Okay. Grandma Wu, when Nishangfang distributes money this month, I'll give everyone a reward."

When Mrs. Wu heard this, she smiled so hard that her eyes disappeared, and quickly said, "Okay."

Li Lan took out five of them and handed them to Zhou Wu, saying, "Give these to Li Yan and have him buy some mung bean sprouts, soybean sprouts, and peanut sprouts, and send them to the palace."

"Yes."
