When I woke up, it was already dawn, and there was already a noisy outside. A group of children gathered in front of the broken kiln in tattered clothes.

Zhao Qi yawned and rubbed his eyes, and found that more than ten children were gathered by the girl, while others were holding bowls and dog-beating sticks and clamoring to go and beg for food.

Yang Dayuan, Yang Dahu, Li Gui and others who followed him were all laughing and crying, and gathered by the pond to discuss, wondering how Zhao Qi would arrange such a large group of children when he got back.

Last night, Zhao Qi just said a few simple words that were rescued by these children. He was going to take them to the construction site to help. Although Yang Dayuan and others didn't say anything, there were twelve or three under ten years old, and only four over ten years old. Such a young child could not do anything to the construction site, and might even help.

However, everyone is used to listening to Zhao Qi's arrangements. The children who live in several families wear clothes and run away as soon as they dawn, so they have to come over to see what Zhao Qi said.

Looking at these tattered little beggars, Zhao Qi also felt a little headache.

By accident, I fell into the hands of a little girl who made a living by stealing and begging.

But I can't help but I have to swallow the bitter fruits of this mouthful. I have to arrange all the children from beginning to end.

"Xiaoqi, look at how these children are doing. Many of them are too young. The construction site is not safe and difficult to manage. It is still a problem to get it over!" Zhao Qi walked to the pond to wash his face. Yang Dahu, who was in charge of logistics, stood beside him and said with some concern.

"I know!" Zhao Qi stood up with a wry smile, wiped the water from his face with a face towel, and said, "These are all orphans, adopted by kind-hearted people, but they are just thrown into a straw shed near the beach, and everything is missing. On weekdays, they beg for some leftovers or fish or shrimps at the pier. Forget it, if you don't see it, I can't ignore it if you see it. The youngest ones stay at my house first and let Xiaozhu and A Lian help watch it. Those over eight years old will go to the construction site, and help clean and serve tea and water in the canteen and sales office. You can't do other heavy work..."

"Okay, as you arranged, I'll let Ermazi drive a car later!" Yang Dahu nodded.

"Are you not going to hire us?" Just as Zhao Qi and his group were talking, a somewhat cold voice came from behind.

Zhao Qi turned around and saw the girl who was fooled by him yesterday standing behind him with the youngest child.

"How could it be? I keep my word and have already agreed..."

Zhao Qi said his plan in a few words. After hearing this, the girl's cold mood disappeared. Her eyes were red and rubbed her nose and nodded, "Okay, you are still trustworthy. As long as they can eat enough and not bully them, I will listen to you!"

Zhao Qi sighed relieved and said, "Don't worry, when you go to the construction site, you must give good advice, don't run around, work carefully, no one will bully them, in short, just follow the arrangements of the manager. You will go to eat and drink water first, and throw away all the broken bowls and wooden sticks in your hands. From now on, you will not be beggars, but formal employees of our Xiaolongwan Harbor, and you will be food and accommodation in the future!"

"Thank you, don't worry, we will repay you in the future!" After the girl endured it for a long time, two lines of tears still flowed down her thin cheeks.

"Why are you crying? I'm bleeding or not? I'm already swinging a hammer and hitting the iron..." Yang Dahu slapped the girl's thin shoulder with a big slap.

Zhao Qi:...

"Xiaoqi, what are your eyes? Am I wrong?" Yang Dahu touched the back of his head inexplicably.

"Uncle Dahu, she is a woman!" Zhao Qi spoke with laughter and cry.

"Girl..." Yang Dahu was stunned and grinned and didn't know what to say. Yang Dayuan and Li Gui also opened their mouths for a long time and couldn't close them.

To be honest, if Zhao Qi didn't say it, no one would recognize him as a woman, with messy hair, short clothes and trousers, and a pair of tattered straw sandals, no matter where he looked, he was no different from those beggars on the dock.

"What's wrong with me being a girl? I can do all the work men do?" The girl rubbed her shoulders and said angrily.

"That's not necessarily!" Li Gui smiled beside him.

"Then you said I can't do that?" The girl glared at Li Gui angrily.

"Fuck Sister Yao!" The introverted Li Gui said in a surprising way.

"Hahaha..." Yang Dayuan and Yang Dahu couldn't help laughing.

"Hmph, I won't tell you~" The girl's thin cheeks were slightly flushed. She glanced at Li Gui and then turned around and left.

"Okay, okay, others are still a child. Brother Agui, you will keep some mouths in the future. Uncle Dayuan, I will go to the town to sell a few pieces of cloth later. Please help me find a few sister-in-law who can make clothes in the village to make two sets of clothes for each child, one for wearing during the day, one for wearing at night, and all shoes and hats are prepared..."

"What do you have to worry about about this? Just throw it to you Aunt Lin in a while. There are many women in the village who can make clothes. You have to eat quickly and go to the construction site. If you are not present, I'm afraid you will be in trouble today!" Yang Dayuan directly interrupted Zhao Qi.

"Xiaoqi, what Dayuan said is true. Yesterday afternoon, you didn't know that before Duke Chong left, the entire construction site was surrounded by people who wanted to buy a house. That guy, there were crowds of people, and almost crushed the gate of the construction site!" Yang Dahu nodded repeatedly, and his spit was filled with excitement.

"So popular?!" Zhao Qi was stunned for a moment, and soon nodded happily and said, "Okay, I'll go to the construction site first. You can arrange these children and come here soon!"

"So that's it, let's go back first. This group of children, Agui, took them to the town to sell some cooking cakes and soy milk to fill their stomachs. Those who went to the construction site naturally followed them to the cafeteria. Those who didn't go to the construction site could only help Alian to work hard!" Yang Dayuan nodded.

"Well, wait until the construction site is arranged before doing it slowly. If Xiaoqi wants to take in these beggar children, I suggest you push A'an's house and rebuild a big house. The cave is wide enough around it!" Yang Dahu nodded as well.

"I'm just thinking about this, so I'd better wait until the construction site is busy and calm before talking about it!"

After a few words, the few people left. Zhao Qi went into the cave and took a few knots for Li Gui, and asked him to take a group of children to eat in the town first.

After quieting down, Zhao Qi also brushed his teeth and changed his clothes to clean up. Xiaozhu and A Lian were busy preparing breakfast.

Rice, stir-fried loach, sauce cucumber, and vegetable egg soup, although simple, they are all delicious. Zhao Qi was hungry for one day and busy for the middle of the night. At night, he ate a bowl of bed noodles before dawn. In fact, he was hungry before dawn, so he was so hungry that he was drying four bowls of white rice like a storm. Most of the dishes on the table fell into his belly alone.

Old Mrs. Su, A Lian, Xiaozhu and Baoer all ate very little, and they almost kept watching Zhao Qi eat and drink.

"Qi'er, eat slowly, it's all yours, no one will compete with you!" Old Mrs. Su's face was full of wrinkles.

"You guys eat too. I'll go to the construction site after I finish eating. I'll be very busy these two days. I may be back late in the evening. Don't worry, I will ask Brother Erma to arrange someone to escort!" Zhao Qi said while nodding.

"You are all people who do big business. You really have to find a few followers. The Lu family may not dare to do it, but there are others who are jealous. This matter cannot happen again!" Old Mrs. Su nodded slightly with a slightly worried look on her crutch.

"Well, Brother Erma has asked Donggua to lead his men to patrol the village. You should be careful at home, but the possibility of this happening in the future is relatively small. After all, Duke Chong's face is still to be given. In Qingyuan Mansion, no one dares to oppose Duke Chong's!" Zhao Qi said while digging the rice.

After dinner, Zhao Qi drank water and rinsed his mouth and rested for a while. Ermao came over with two horses. After Zhao Qi greeted him, he rode his horse away. A Lian hurriedly chased him out with a hat. The two had already walked away, so they had to return to the cave with a sad expression.

Today's Xiaolongwan construction site is indeed different from usual.

Some time ago, the group of pigs gathered at the door and shouted and cursed and cursed at the stones but didn't see any of them. Instead, they were dozens of sedan chairs and carriages and a large number of servants. Many of the well-known gentry in Yanggong Town gathered at the construction site and waited anxiously.

The middle-aged scholar also brought people and Manager Liu to the construction site early, hoping to meet this magical boy whom Duke Chong was very much admired.

The security team led by Ermazi was all dressed in neat and unified clothes, carrying swords, guns and sticks in their hands, arranged from the construction site gate to a hundred meters away. Not only were gongs and drums placed along the way, but long firecrackers were also placed on the ground.

"Brother Qi is here!"

Seeing two old horses raving along the road on the coast, the crowd burst into cheers, and the whole scene became lively in an instant.

"Firecrackers are blowing up!" With Ermao's roar, the two young men lit firecrackers on both sides with fire sticks. In the crackling sound, paper scraps of mud and sand splashed, and streams of blue smoke filled the air, and instantly the churning of the gun smoke.

"I'll go, do you want to be so grand!" Zhao Qi rode on the horse with a little amused and hurriedly pulled the reins and slowly walked into the crowd that was welcoming.

Just as Zhao Qi was about to say hello to Manager Liu who was coming, two guys with fancy masks suddenly jumped out of the crowd on both sides, holding mourning sticks and willow branches in their hands and whispered to Zhao Qi, jumping and lying in his mouth. His terrifying look scared Zhao Qi so much that he fell from the horse's back.

"Brother Qi, don't be afraid. This is a genius specially invited by Manager Liu. Do a ritual to get rid of bad luck for you!" Someone in the crowd said with a laugh.

Huh, I'm so angry!
