The 21st year of the Solar Era arrived as scheduled. Lin Yan was extremely reluctant to leave, and Shui Sheng left resolutely to build Nanhai Port City, and she began to live a social life again.
Standing at the pier, looking south, Shui Sheng's boat was completely gone. She turned her head to look to the west, wondering what the situation was over there.
This year is the beginning of the expansion of the Sun Alliance. Everything is unknown, and she can only stay in Sun City.
Not being able to participate in it personally, he felt infinite regret. Lin Yan sighed in his heart and turned around to go back to work in despair.
I met Jin Ting on the road. She was carrying a bag of flour and approached step by step.
Lin Yan watched her approach from a distance. At this moment, her heart was very complicated.
When Jin Ting saw it was Lin Yan, she felt guilty and quickened her pace.
Jin Zai's incident made it impossible for her to stand up in front of Lin Yan for the rest of her life. This was the case for everyone in the Jin family and their conscience.
Lin Yan watched silently, without calling anyone. She was indifferent, without resentment, only calm.
Things changed and Lin Yan was surprised to see Jin Ting again. She looked much older and her life must have been very unsatisfactory.
When he got home that night, Lin Yan asked Huahong tentatively: "Will our restaurant still be open?"
Hua Hong suddenly realized that since Jin Zai left, she no longer had the intention to open a restaurant. In the past, the two of them were busy together, and the place was full of memories. Now, going there again only brings back memories.
"Auntie, I think the restaurant will not open if your body is not tired. But it is a pity to lose the reputation for so many years. It is better to let others run the restaurant. What do you think?"
Huahong came to her senses and said, "You're right, let me think about it."
"Lin Yan, I don't trust anyone running the restaurant. I still have to keep an eye on it myself."
"Auntie, there is still so much land to farm at home, how can you be so busy on your own? Listen to me and find someone else to open a restaurant. You are not physically able to do heavy work. Rent out the land at home or hire someone to farm it. , I will arrange these, so don’t worry about it.”
Huahong shook her head quickly, "No, absolutely not. I will feel uncomfortable doing nothing."
"There are a lot of odd jobs at home, and you won't be idle. Besides, you have been busy for so many years, and it's time to enjoy your life. It's good to chat with Ye Zi and the others and go out for a walk."
After Lin Yan's repeated persuasion, Huahong agreed to contract the restaurant to others.
If you want to keep the Huahong Restaurant's brand name, there are only a limited number of people who can take over the business.
The first thing Huahong thought of was Jin Ting. She is a capable woman. She has worked in restaurants for many years and has learned her craft. She is the most suitable candidate.
Lin Yan saw this and said, "I met Jin Ting on the road today. She looked very bad."
A few days later, Hua Hong went out and decided to contract the restaurant to Jin Ting when he came back.
In fact, Jin Zai's matter has nothing to do with Jin Ting. Everyone knows that it's just that people are best at expressing anger.
After getting along with her for many years, Huahong knew very well how Jin Ting behaved. He still couldn't bear to see her unsatisfactory life with his own eyes.
When Lin Yan found out, she smiled knowingly. This was exactly the result she wanted to see. Jin Ting's life is difficult, so it's not a big deal to help her. It is also a kind of inheritance that can continue the signature of Huahong Restaurant.
Soon it was time to sow the first season of seeds. Lin Yan was overwhelmed and really worried about Hua Hong's health, so he asked Ye Zi to help take care of the house.
She originally wanted to pay someone to do the work, but she didn't want to pay any bonus. The reason is very good. There is no other source of income in the family, so it is better to save money by farming by myself.
After watching Hua Hong work for a day and feeling much better after coming back, Lin Yan decided to listen to her.
In Ancheng, all the people sent have set off, and Shen Tianlin stayed behind to guard Ancheng.
He originally wanted to go in person and contribute to the alliance, but was ruthlessly rejected.
Everyone opposed it, thinking that he was the city lord and it was his duty to protect An City.
Ancheng is an important base for the alliance in Tianduan Mountain and must not be lost. To be on the safe side, Shi Zhi also stayed.
Xu Hui is in charge of the high-profile and arrogant Qicheng.
Each of the remaining cities was assigned a dedicated person to take charge of it. Most of the alliance's mysterious practitioners were dispatched, and the military department tried their best to cooperate.
Shen Tianlin looked at Shi Zhi regretfully, "You are really overqualified for staying here. A master like you should be on the front line."
Shi Zhi smiled faintly, "That's not the case. The stall is spread out, and the most important thing is that the rear is stable."
He was entrusted with an important task by the Arbitration Court, so he naturally had to keep an overall view of the situation and stay in the most important places.
Although Anjo joined the alliance, the time was too short and it had to be watched over by its own people. We must hold the last retreat for everyone who is rushing ahead.
This time, huge manpower and material resources have been invested, and all aspects must be considered to ensure that everyone has a safe place to stay.
Shen Tianlin nodded in understanding, "You are all born at a good time to become a mysterious person. If I have the chance, there is no limit to where you can go."
Shi Zhi: "It's not impossible. The alliance will unify the wasteland, cross Tianduan Mountain, and conquer the outside world. Until then, City Master Shen can go wherever he wants."
Shen Tianlin looked at him in disbelief. It was the first time he heard such bold remarks. Seeing Shi Zhi's vow, there was no hesitation or hesitation, as if it was a very simple matter.
"You, you really think so?"
Shi Zhi nodded affirmatively, "There is no doubt, we all firmly believe that the alliance will move forward."
Shen Tianlin was extremely impressed. No matter whether he could do it or not, only people like them could have such courage and courage.
An old man like him would never have such ambitions during his lifetime in Ancheng.
After leading Ancheng to join the alliance, Shen Tianlin was very pleased to see the changes in Ancheng day by day. He couldn't believe it when he learned that the alliance was going to conquer the cities around Tianduan Mountain.
Even at this moment, he wasn't so sure. Large and small forces are entrenched, and the situation is complicated and chaotic. How difficult it is to unify.
For hundreds of years, no one has done it.
Looking at Shi Zhi's determined look in front of him, Shen Tianlin clearly felt the difference between himself and the leader of the Sun Alliance.
If it can conquer all the forces in Tianduan Mountain, it is not impossible for the alliance to move towards the outside world.
The closest to Ancheng was Pingcheng, and he was looking forward to the Gu family bowing their heads. They have been standing high for many years, and it is time to lower their noble heads.
What makes Shen Tianlin most gratified is that Shen Jiarui has been able to take charge of his own business and was sent to Yuncheng. As long as he can successfully complete the task, he will have merit.
Everyone in Anseong is very busy this year. A large area of wasteland outside the city has been planned, and the first thing to do in the new year is to open up wasteland.
The alliance announced various policies for land reclamation and delivered a large number of land reclamation tools, giving hope to the ordinary people who had been living in Ancheng.
As long as you work hard, you can own your own land and grow enough food.
It is precisely because of this move that the people of Anseong have a strong sense of belonging to the alliance.
