Under such circumstances, Xin Zhi really had no choice but to go somewhere if he wanted to be promoted.
In Shengjing, there was no place for Xin Zhi to show his talents.
It's just that Xin Zhi was raised by the Hou family. He is a bit squeamish. He is already a twenty-five-year-old man, but he is still reluctant to leave home.
Mommy’s boy.
No, it’s a family treasure boy.
If Xiao Yu'an didn't like it, he really wouldn't want Xiao Yu'an to marry such a person.
After hearing what Li Qiao said, Tao Zhu pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then said, "Yu An is worried about his stomach. I comforted him for a long time today."
"He is not pregnant yet. The Xin family will not say anything, but they will inevitably have thoughts in their hearts. I think, why don't we let him follow Xin Zhi to other places?"
"Huaidong Mansion is the hometown of the Xin family. Can Xin Zhi go there?"
"Huaidong Mansion?" Li Qiao narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but think of Gao Zhiyuan's pamphlet.
Gao Zhiyuan said that Taihu Lake will dry up in the future, and Huaidong Prefecture is not far from Taihu Lake. If Taihu Lake dries up, then this major drought will inevitably affect Huaidong Prefecture.
If Xin Zhizhen went to Huaidong Mansion, he would definitely be able to do something practical and attract Sheng Hong's attention.
However, Taihu Lake dried up in the year when the eldest prince ascended the throne. Now it is the fifteenth year of Shengping, and there are still ten years left...
We can't let Xin Zhi take Li Yu'an to stay in Huaidong Mansion for ten years, right?
He couldn't bear to let Li Yu'an suffer this, and Li Shu would definitely feel uncomfortable too. Li Yu'an was in Beihu Province, and Li Yu'an went to Huaidong Mansion, then Li Shu would feel so miserable.
No way, no way.
"Huaidong Mansion is a bit far away, why not find a place in Jibei Province."
Li Qiao said.
There is also a major drought in Jibei Province where rivers and wells have dried up. If Xin Zhi wants to experience it, Jibei Province is a good choice.
"That's true." Tao Zhu thought for a while, then nodded: "The official roads in Jibei Province are all paved with plaster, so it is more convenient to return to Shengjing. Then next time you see him, mention this to him."
"Okay." Li Qiao agreed.
At this time, the shouts of three little guys, Li Xiaorui, Li Changfeng, and Li Yunfan, came from the kang behind them. The three of them spelled out Sanliu Village!
When Li Qiao and Tao Zhu heard this, they immediately got up and went to the Kang.
On the fire bed, a large 3D Sanliu Village is placed in the center. Each house is about a foot high, so the details of the house are full of details, such as the window paper on the windows, the vegetable patch and well in the corner of the yard, and the small benches placed casually. , brooms and other objects were all clear, which made Li Qiao Taozhu's mind go back to the past.
Every street is paved with cement, and every house is marked with a name. The three willow trees at the entrance of the village are also carved lifelike and dyed with corresponding colors, as if they are real willow trees.
Li Qiao and Tao Zhu's eyes were fixed on this big puzzle for a while, and nostalgia appeared on their faces.
Tao Zhu stretched out his hand and touched the large yard of his house twice: "Put this puzzle in your study. You can look at it every day and remember the location of our house."
"Okay!" Li Xiaorui nodded crisply.
"When the uncle comes back from the village, let him take a look at this puzzle." Li Changfeng said proudly, raising his chin.
It took the three of them less than half a month to finish!
"Uncle will definitely praise you and bring you specialties from the village and places along the way."
Li Qiao said with a smile.
"When will uncle come back? And brother Ershan."
Li Yunfan blinked his big eyes and asked. His little body rolled on the kang and then rolled to the edge of the kang. He hugged one of Li Qiao's arms and looked up at Li Qiao curiously.
"I will definitely come back years ago." There were too many uncertain factors on the road, so Li Qiao could only say this.
"It's still a long time!" Li Xiaorui's fat face wrinkled.
He missed his grandfather and Uncle Ershan.
"Don't worry, grandpa and second uncle are going to explore the road for you. It is said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. When they come back, they will definitely bring back a lot of interesting knowledge. Please be patient and wait."
Li Qiao used a coaxing tone.
"I know, I just miss them." Li Xiaorui said with a bit of gloom.
Seeing this, Tao Zhu sat on the kang and reached out to grab the two small knots tied around his head, rubbed them gently, and then said: "Don't you want to hold a bicycle race? How about next month? Otherwise, if we put it off any longer, the weather will get too cold and it won’t be suitable to go out and ride a bicycle.”
"Um?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Xiaorui's attention was instantly diverted.
He raised his fat face and looked at Tao Zhu, pouted and said, "Dad said it was too much trouble and wouldn't let me hold this competition."
"I'll go tell your father and persuade him. He will definitely agree." Tao Zhu smiled and rubbed the little knot tied on his head.
"Okay!" After hearing Tao Zhu's words, Li Xiaorui's big eyes lit up instantly, and the depression just now was swept away: "Thank you, Uncle Zhu!"
"Be good, play for a while and then go back to bed. I will talk to your father about the bicycle race tomorrow."
Tao Zhu pinched his little cheek.
"Um!"
Li Xiaorui nodded his head hard, his fat face smiling broadly.
Next, the three little heads got together and discussed the bicycle race, while Tao Zhu and Li Qiao sat back at the desk.
Li Qiao was a little confused: "Xiao Rui wants to hold a bicycle race?"
"Yes, he can only compete with Chang Fengyunfan at home, but Chang Fengyunfan beats him every time. He finds it boring and wants to compete with other children."
Recalling the way Li Xiaorui told him that he wanted to hold a bicycle race, Tao Zhu couldn't help but smile.
At that time, Li Xiaorui's depressed little face was wrinkled. No matter how much his uncles Li Changfeng and Li Yunfan tried to persuade him, the little bun's face just didn't relax.
But Zheng Qianqian disagreed with this matter.
A child who can afford a bicycle is either rich or expensive. What if he bumps and falls during a competition and someone comes to visit him?
Li Qiao is already very busy, so don't cause trouble to his dear uncle.
Tao Zhu felt that this matter was unnecessary, but Zheng Qianqian firmly opposed it, so he did not mention it to Li Qiao.
After hearing Tao Zhu's explanation, Li Qiao was a little surprised: "Isn't this little guy's mentality always very good?"
Although Li Xiaorui is two years older than Li Changfeng and Li Yunfan, apart from his height, Li Xiaorui cannot compare to Li Changfeng and Li Yunfan in terms of reading, strength, and speed.
But Li Xiaorui didn't care. The relationship between the three little guys was very harmonious.
"No matter how good you are, you can't bear to lose all the time. As a child, he kept thinking about it. He was unhappy. Changfeng and Yunfan planned to let him win, but he didn't want to. He just wanted to compete with other children. Competition."
"Then let's compare."
Li Qiao nodded.
Isn't it just a children's bicycle competition? It's easy to say that he is the best at formulating overlord clauses. He participates voluntarily and will not be responsible for any accidents.
Participating children are responsible for themselves.
The next day, Tao Zhu and Zheng Qianqian talked about the matter. Zheng Qianqian saw that Li Qiao agreed, so she stopped insisting.
He just repeatedly told Tao Zhu to make rules that were beneficial to his family so as not to cause trouble to Li Qiao.
Tao Zhu actually thought the same thing, and he did the same thing. He quickly posted a notice for the bicycle race in his shop.
Participants must first have their own bicycle.
Registration is free and children aged under ten and over five years old can participate.
We take safety seriously and the Li family will not be responsible for any accidents.
The prizes are quite generous, divided into first, second and third prizes.
There are the latest bicycles, one hundred taels to five hundred taels of silver, and VIP gold cards for Li's shop.
This prize is quite attractive.
For young children, the biggest attraction is the latest bikes.
And silver.
Even for a young master like Xin Zhi, his monthly income as a child was only one hundred taels. Of course, this was just pocket money. If Xin Zhi really liked something, the Xin family would definitely buy it.
And of course, there’s good food.
There are very few children who don't like to eat delicious food.
After this publicity notice was posted, there were many applicants.
Even with Li Qiao's arrogant clause regarding any accident, many children still signed up enthusiastically.
In fact, many adults don't want their sweet babies to sign up. It would be very distressing if they bump into each other.
But they couldn't help their children wanting to participate, so the parents had no choice but to compromise.
Li Xiaorui was very happy that so many people of his own age signed up.
He can finally compete with his peers.
His two little uncles are both freaks. If he can't beat his little uncles, he can't beat anyone else either.
In order to separate the two young uncles, the bicycle race was specially divided into age groups.
He is in the seven-year-old category, and his two uncles are in the five-year-old category.
The three of them are not on the same track.
Perfect.
This bicycle race for children is mainly to help Li Xiaorui regain his confidence among his peers.
Li Qiao and Tao Zhu thought that this playful little competition would not make any waves, but they never expected that in less than three days, more than a hundred people would sign up.
Moreover, even the emperor’s grandson signed up.
Sheng Shiyu, from the eldest prince's family, signed up for the competition between the ages of seven and ten.
After Tao Zhu received the news, he immediately approached Li Xiaorui. He heard that the three sons of the eldest prince were all outstanding, and the younger grandson Sheng Shiyu was also particularly outstanding.
Previously, Xiao Yunfan picked up the ball and kite from the little emperor's grandson. He came to the door with snacks to apologize. The little emperor's grandson behaved politely. Although he was young, he looked very stable and had extraordinary bearing.
The serious little look made him want to pinch his cheeks.
