With the soft brush in hand, aided by Yang Yichen, it behaved like an obedient child, writing whatever came to mind.
The warm sensation traveled from her wrist to her palm, bringing a comforting feeling as the brush moved with strength and vigor, creating bold strokes that danced across the paper.
After a series of events following the earthquake, the two of them advanced and retreated together, fighting side by side, and their feelings for each other grew stronger. The room was filled with a gentle warmth, with red bubbles floating down softly.
A powerful reply was completed; the strokes were decisive at the beginning and elegantly lifted at the end, showcasing the writer's broad-mindedness and capacity to embrace all.
In Biqi Town,
The repairs on houses after the disaster were nearly finished, and restaurants and inns were gradually returning to normal operations. A young man dressed in a blue jacket and black pants, wearing a blue hat, occasionally glanced outside.
"Ah, why hasn't Miss Liu sent any news yet?" Master had instructed him to provide a response as soon as possible; the old man was waiting.
In the inn's lobby, the Shopkeeper's abacus clicked loudly as he occasionally looked around. The young man's restless glances did not escape his notice.
Closing the accounts in his hands, the Shopkeeper approached: "Esteemed guest, is there anything I can assist you with?"
"Oh, no worries. Shopkeeper, you carry on; I'm just waiting for someone."
The letter from his master was not something just anyone could receive. Although he didn't know its contents, Liu Qingxi held a special place in Elder Ying's heart.
Just as he felt disheartened and prepared to leave for the Provincial Capital, the awaited figure finally appeared.
He hurried forward in quick steps: " Miss Liu, you've finally arrived! If you hadn't come soon, I wouldn't have known how to report back to my master."
Seeing Liu Qingxi's expression was like seeing a savior: " Miss Liu, do you have a letter to take back?"
"Well, thank you for your hard work. Here, take this as a tip." Liu Qingxi handed over an envelope along with a small pouch.
The errand runner was used to receiving such rewards and accepted it happily without hesitation. " Miss Liu, I'll report back right away." After settling the accounts, he mounted his horse and galloped away.
Liu Qingxi watched his departing figure, shielding her eyes from the glaring sunlight as she looked up at the sky. It was a brilliant blue, as if it were the first clear day after the earthquake, free of any haze.
On the way back, Yang Yichen quietly accompanied her. In the deserted area, their hands were intertwined as they walked along the road without a carriage.
The mountains around them rose and fell, teeming with life. After the earthquake, their powerful vitality was evident as people actively engaged in post-disaster reconstruction while the mountains gradually regained their original appearance.
Trees and grass stood tall once again, vibrant and full of life in nature.
Just like life in the mortal world, whether human or object, everything strives to live in the best possible way.
On the road, Liu Qingxi discussed their next plan with Yang Yichen: "Are we ready to start building our restaurant?"
"Yes," Yang Yichen nodded in agreement.
This plan had been arranged long ago, but due to the sudden earthquake, all plans had been put on hold. Now that life was basically returning to normal, it was time to prepare for the construction of the restaurant.
Coincidentally, because of the earthquake, the restaurant had closed. Although the building had not collapsed, it had sustained some damage due to its age.
It was also an opportunity for reconstruction; Liu Qingxi's vision for the Six-Story Restaurant finally had conditions to be realized.
"While everyone is busy finishing up work in the Village, we can head to town to build our restaurant."
At this moment, Liu Qingxi was not worried at all about future business because once her designed restaurant was completed, it would undoubtedly become a living advertisement and attract everyone to join their construction team.
Returning to the village, Liu Qingxi eagerly gathered the villagers together: "After all this time, I have seen the efforts of Kid. This is a great opportunity for us to expand our construction team."
Liu Qingxi announced this uplifting and highly anticipated news to the villagers.
" Miss Liu, is this true? Are we really expanding the team? How many more people are we going to take on?" asked a woman with sunken cheeks and drooping eyelids, filled with hope.
"Aunt, this time it doesn't matter how many people we have. As long as we work hard when building houses, we will take everyone in the construction team," Liu Qingxi confidently declared from the front of the crowd.
"Ah?" Not only were the current members of the Construction Team surprised, but even those hoping to be selected were astonished.
The happiness came too suddenly. They had thought it would be a fierce competition like last time, but with such good news, they were overwhelmed with excitement.
"It can't be fake, right? Qingxi, can you really take so many people? What if there’s no work for them later?" If the Construction Team couldn't accommodate that many people, they would need to find other jobs soon.
They could hardly imagine that a girl like Liu Qingxi could lead a Construction Team that could accommodate so many.
There were nearly three hundred able-bodied workers in the village, and it was hard to fathom what kind of Construction Team this would be.
Liu Qingxi smiled as she stood in front of the crowd. After allowing everyone to voice their questions, she signaled for silence and began addressing their concerns one by one.
"I know that uncles and brothers will worry about whether there will be work available. It doesn’t matter how much I say now; you won’t believe it. The only thing that can convince you is the truth. So let me assure you that even if there’s no work, I will still pay your wages.
In the future, Ten Li Pu's Construction Team will establish strict regulations. Each person will have two days off every month and can adjust their rest time according to their actual situation; wages will still be paid.
This means that regardless of whether there is work or not, each month you will receive Three Hundred Wen in wages."
Wow~~~ The crowd erupted in waves of astonishment. Three Hundred Wen a month means three thousand Wen over ten months, which is equivalent to three taels of silver—a yearly income of three taels of silver.
With two or three strong laborers from this family, they wouldn't have to worry about the future; they could afford to eat white steamed buns.
"Can we sign up now?"
"Of course! I'll have the Village Chief take stock of the situation. As long as you worked hard during the recent house construction, the Construction Team will take you. It's not about one person getting rich; true wealth comes when everyone is prosperous."
"Great!!!" The villagers of Shili Pu couldn't help but clap and cheer, "Qingxi, you're amazing."
In no time, Liu Qingxi was surrounded tightly by a group of kids. "Qingxi, what about my eldest son? He's six years old and quite strong; he can work just as well as his father."
"Yes, yes! I have several sons too; can they all go along?"
Several women were eager to send all their sons over because each one represented money.
After all, working on the farm at home or doing other labor didn't yield much more than construction work, and they could learn a trade. Why not follow Liu Qingxi?
This reasoning needed no explanation; everyone understood.
Given the situation, the number of people would only exceed expectations, not fall short.
However, Liu Qingxi didn't mind if an extra ten or eight people showed up; even thirty or twenty more would be acceptable.
