Everyone knows the importance of this matter. The county magistrate waited until late at night before letting everyone put them back. It was too late, and all the government officials made do with accommodation in the county.

He Zifeng has a house in the county, so he won't go back to the village. He has to get up early tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to his house in the county town, he saw the kerosene lamp in the house was on.

He Zifeng looked for a lamp and went in, only to find that Qiu Yu was setting out food. He happened to be a little hungry late at night, and he could smell the fragrance coming from the food.

Seeing that he was back, Qiu Yu was a little happy and said, "It's a coincidence that you're back. I just made it."

He Zifeng's heart felt soft, and he looked at Qiu Yu and said, "Why didn't you go back to the village?" He stretched out his hand. Qiu Yu came over and obediently let me hold her.

He Zifeng hugged him.

Qiu Yu said: "I went back to the village. I saw that it was getting late and you hadn't come home yet. I knew that there must be something going on in the yamen, so I drove back again." If He Zifeng didn't come back, he would send him meals in food boxes. They were well-informed about the restaurant and heard that all the officials were repairing the city gate. They knew that he would be busy in the near future.

He Zifeng said: "Nonsense, you shouldn't drive the carriage here at night." It was dark and the road was very dangerous.

Qiu Yu also knew that he was a little impulsive, so he shrank his neck and was scolded. But his hands wrapped around He Zifeng's neck. He also gave me a kiss to please him.

He Zifeng rarely received a kiss from Qiu Yu, who held him tightly in his arms.

Qiu Yu was a little embarrassed by being hugged, so she struggled to get up and said, "Here, eat it quickly. It won't taste good when it gets cold later." There was no time, so she only made rice, fried sausages and boiled cabbage.

He Zifeng said: "Let's eat together." He held his hand, but frowned a little. Qiu Yu's hand was a little cold.

It was getting cold in late autumn, so Qiu Yu was still wearing the same outfit she wore during the day. He Zifeng quickly took off his coat and put it on him.

Although there was no good food, the two of them were really hungry and ate all the food and rice. The night is already deep.

It is easy to feel sleepy after eating a full meal, so He Zifeng went to light the fire. The houses in the county were usually not inhabited and were a bit shady.

Qiu Yu was afraid of the cold, so she pressed her whole body against He Zifeng's body. I guess I was really sleepy and fell asleep after a while.

Having his lover sleeping next to him made He Zifeng feel very at ease.

Early the next morning, both of them were used to getting up early. Qiu Yu was going to the shop. He Zifeng said: "There is something going on at the Yamen recently. I may come back very late every day. You don't have to wait for me to eat. Don't come late at night." The car is coming."

Qiu Yu nodded.

He Zifeng went to the Yamen, and there were many people there.

Not counting He Zifeng and Zhu Captou, there are still forty-four yamen servants in the yamen. Some vacancies have not been filled, and there is no time to recruit people at the moment. Zhu Captou divided the people into two teams and assigned twenty-two strong men to the team building the city wall.
