In the blink of an eye, Mr. Shao's "community service" entered the seventh day. For simple menial work, there is no question of whether he can do it or not, only whether he is willing to do it. When Shaoning got used to working, he worked efficiently enough.
It was enough to keep Xiao Jing away for more than ten blocks.
"Master Shao, these are my new sweet dates. Please try them." A girl in her late twenties blushed and placed a handful of dates in front of Shao Ning, then hurried away with her face covered in her sleeves.
.
"That's good, someone has brought food to you! By the way, you used to be a person that a big girl and a little wife would avoid when they saw her." Xiao Jing, who was squatting by the river watching the fish, said in a strange way: "It's just a pity.
, because of you, I can only sleep for less than three hours a day, and no one cares about me so much."
"I said yesterday that if the matter is completed, I will invite you to the restaurant downstairs in Hongbin. Why do you keep talking about it?" Shaoning, who was watching the craftsmen repairing the bridge, waved his hand impatiently: "
My mother is not as verbose as you!"
Seeing Shaoning supervising the work seriously, Xiao Jing secretly laughed twice. In the past few days, all the gifts that should be apologized to the town had been paid, and the work that should be done was almost done. It was this boy who proposed to use his money to redeem the work.
I don't have ruby ​​but I have some private money to repair this dilapidated wooden bridge, and my attitude is quite proactive.
Xiao Jing got up and returned to the shore. After preparing various supplies, he immersed himself in writing on a flat rock:
"In recent days, a young man named Shaoning has been active in the town. He chops wood and carries water to mend roofs, builds roads, lights fires, and feeds livestock. He has done a lot of practical things for the town, and has won everyone's praise, and for this
The slightly cooler autumn days bring a touch of warmth.
The small bridge in the south of the town has been in disrepair for a long time and has been a long-standing problem in the town. After the water rose last year, the small bridge became a dangerous bridge: not only did it creak when people walked on it, but there was also a lot of noise.
The big shaking is frightening.
A few months ago, a passing candidate fell from a bridge and unfortunately broke his leg and missed the exam date. Several children went to play on the bridge the day before yesterday, and one of them almost lost his footing and fell. If it weren't for a passing businessman with quick eyesight and quick hands,
, tragedy is likely to happen again.
Now, many townspeople would rather cross the river than walk on this small bridge that once brought them countless conveniences.
Shaoning's figure appeared beside the small bridge. With a frown, he carefully inspected every damage on the bridge, and then he took on the task that no one else was willing to do without hesitation.
Shao Yuan was a strict foreign teacher, so Shaoning didn't have much money to spend. However, he still paid for the craftsmen himself, in order to benefit the town, so that everyone could walk with confidence, and no one would be injured for no reason.
During the construction, he was still watching the scene, fearing that the craftsmen would make any mistakes; in order to repair the bridge quickly, he worked with others carrying lumber on their backs until sores appeared on his shoulders.
Building bridges and repairing roads is a meritorious deed, a responsibility, and an obligation as a town citizen. Today, Shaoning is no longer the idle playboy. Such a young man who has good intentions and works hard to change his ways should be able to gain everyone's understanding.
.”
As he wrote this, Xiao Jing suddenly stopped. He covered his face with his hands and was silent for a long time, then made a retching motion towards the river.
"What are you doing? Didn't you eat well this morning?" Shao Ning came over with a look of gloating on his face, and rushed to the piece of paper with the writing on it impatiently: "What did you write today? Let me read it quickly.
look!"
Xiao Jing has only one protagonist in what he has written in the past few days: Mr. Shao. In addition to the first article reviewing his "glorious deeds", the following articles all praise his good deeds with praise, so in his heart
Shaoning was very happy and would come over to take a look every time.
This time, he stood aside and watched for a while, but he felt bad all over. Xiao Jing glanced at him: "Are you getting goosebumps? Don't talk, just feel it with your heart."
Although what was written on the paper was all true, and Shaoning had indeed done these things, Xiao Jing felt that his moral integrity had been completely shattered when he used such disgusting excuses to clear Mr. Shao's name.
Shao Ning smiled naively and reached out to touch his head. Everyone likes to hear good things. How could he not be happy if someone praised him so much? He also thought about it. After all, whatever he wrote was Xiao Jing's handwriting. What should he be embarrassed about?
"Master Shao, take a rest." An old man walked towards Shaoning with a smile, carrying a small earthen pot: "I heard someone said that you are building a bridge, so I came to take a look. This pot is chicken soup, freshly stewed.
, you can drink it while it’s hot.”
"Grandma Yu?" Shaoning, who was a little surprised, hurried forward and said, "Why did you kill the chicken? I'll pay you for it, just keep it well. This is... ugh."
Granny Yu looked at Shaoning kindly: "A chicken is nothing. Even a small family like Lao Shen will kill a chicken when guests come during festivals."
The two of them made concessions again, but Shaoning was reluctant but kind and had to take the jar. Granny Yu sighed: "I thought that the young master was just acting on a whim, but I didn't know that you not only helped me with a lot of work, but also helped me with a lot of work.
He also contributed a lot to the town. Young Master, I misunderstood you before.
Grandma Yu chatted for a while, then turned around and left. Shaoning sniffed and was about to speak, when Xiao Jing appeared out of nowhere, picked up the jar, smelled it vigorously, and praised: "Okay.
fragrant!"
"Give it back to me!" Shaoning took the jar back without saying a word and hid further away from Xiao Jing.
"I have half of the credit for this, right?" Xiao Jing shrugged: "I haven't eaten meat for two months. It's really unjust not to even give me a piece of meat. Haha, the food given by others is still delicious, right? Eat it.
I feel comfortable..."
Shaoning ran away alone as if he hadn't heard. Seeing him feasting there, Xiao Jing, who was angry and funny, smiled bitterly and sat on the big rock.
Although this man is a bit naughty, he is not bad at heart; his previous appearance was probably caused by Mr. Shao not having time to take care of him in the past few years. As long as he is given a little sunshine and lets him experience the feeling of being truly respected and cared for, he will still be the same.
A very promising young man.
"It seems that my vision is pretty good." Xiao Jing said to himself proudly: "If Shaoning is really a bad boy who does all kinds of evil, I wouldn't dare to take over this mess. The worst he can do is live on the streets with Mr. Wei. No.
Accommodation is a small matter, but ruining your own brand is a big deal..."
While he was feeling complacent, a servant of the Shao family ran up to him. The man said something to Shaoning first, then Shaoning looked happy, wiped his mouth with his sleeve and ran away as quickly as possible.
Chapter completed!
