Something rolled down in the yard, Xing Rui and Liang Sheng looked at each other and walked out.
I saw Liu Qiang pushing a cart with a cart of racks and throwing them in the yard.
"I can help you with work, but I still have work at home, so I can't be busy here every day.
Then my mother and father will not let you go."
After just one day of work, something happened to Liu Qiang.
Xing Rui walked over with a smile, and before she could say anything, Liang Sheng said something over there.
"Okay, if your mother and father come looking for trouble, just ask them to come to me. I'm not afraid."
When Liu Qiang heard this, he held his mouth shut, and his painful face was uglier than a bitter gourd.
His legs went weak and he knelt directly on the ground.
"Silly mother, please forgive me. I didn't dare to tell my mother what happened. I came here secretly.
I still have a job at home, so I can’t run here every day.”
Liang Sheng wanted to say something else, but Xing Rui pulled him back.
"Okay, you don't have to come, it's ten days,"
Xing Rui stretched out her finger to show him a ten, but suddenly realized that these people couldn't understand it, so she took it back.
"In ten days, no matter what method you use, if you have cut enough ten thousand bars and throw them into this yard, you will be fine."
"Ten thousand?"
Liu Qiang was confused, ten thousand? How much is that?
"You don't know how to count, do you?"
Liu Qiang blushed, and Xing Rui suddenly realized something. It seemed that there were not many people in the village who were studying.
I heard that they don't learn arithmetic when they study. Even if they learn it, they only have some superficial knowledge, which is enough.
Thinking of this, Xing Rui realized that her three children couldn't even count.
Looking at the pile of shelves Liu Qiang threw on the ground, she was about to walk over when Liang Sheng pulled her back.
"I come."
Xing Rui was shocked. It seemed that this man could not only read but also count.
After a while, Liang Sheng counted out all the racks.
"These are only two hundred sticks at a time, huh?"
He thought briefly and said,
"You see clearly, it's just a small pile like this. If you want to make fifty piles, that's enough."
"Fifty piles?"
Liu Qiang's eyes almost popped out of his head.
Liang Sheng smiled, Liu Qiang was a good man at work.
"You just went to the university and got 200 roots. If you cut them for a day, a thousand roots won't be enough for you.
It's okay, just cut it, and I'll help you pull it back after you've cut it enough."
Liu Qiang didn't know how many Liang Sheng's thousand sticks were, but the two hundred sticks in front of him were chopped back without much effort.
"Okay, this is what you said, I'll just chop it off?"
As soon as it was loosened, this guy was on his face.
After hearing this, Xing Rui hurried over and shouted,
"I'm trying to pull it back for you. It's not like you'll be fine after you cut it off. If you dare to negotiate the price, it's all your business alone?
Get up and get out of here..."
Liu Qiang hurriedly got up from the ground, looked at the two people, turned around and ran away.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I ran to the road, I saw a carriage coming down.
Horses are rarely seen in mountain villages, let alone carriages.
This kid actually stopped and watched the fun.
"Xu..."
The carriage stopped at the intersection, Hong Churen got off the carriage, and then helped Uncle Wang get off the carriage as well.
"Brother Wang, is this the house you are talking about?"
"Well, my daughter has a hard life and has raised three children. The original house is really unlivable.
Only then did I remember that the foundation of your home was laid back then. Even though it has been so many years, I didn’t expect it to still be so strong.”
Seeing everything familiar in front of him, Hong Churen's eyes became hot, and all the sadness came to his mind.
"This was my father's wish. It's a pity that he is gone. This has become a lifelong regret for him, ha..."
With a few smiles, Xing Rui and the others walked over.
"No matter what, the house that my father didn't build back then was built by the younger generation. It means that all the efforts were not in vain."
"Uncle Hong,"
Xing Rui shouted, but she glared hard at Liu Qiang, who was still watching the excitement, and was so frightened that he ran away.
"Would you like to go in and take a look? We have no money, so we can only build a thatched house to live in."
"Not bad, not bad, not bad. If I don't watch it, it's getting late."
While talking, Hong Churen took out a piece of paper from the money bag at his waist and handed it to Xing Rui.
"Girl, this is fifty taels of silver, not much. Thank you for helping me bury my daughter's body on the hill. Thank you."
"No no no..."
This made Xing Rui feel guilty for a while. If he hadn't come suddenly, he might not be able to survive.
I would really exchange things for money.
"It's me who should be sorry. If I hadn't been gentle, I wouldn't have broken the jar.
I can’t ask for this money, take it back, take it back.”
Hong Churen turned around and slapped the banknote into Old Wangtou's hand. Old Wang pushed him but he grabbed it.
"Take it, this little money is nothing to me. I'll take it for my daughter and keep it for her old age. I'm going back now."
"Chu Ren, don't you want to leave without eating? Your sister-in-law has already prepared the food."
"I'm not going to eat anymore, let's go."
Hong Churen shook Lao Wangtou's hand vigorously, turned around and got on the carriage without looking back, when the coachman started driving the carriage.
Hong Churen ran away again in a burst of dust just as he came.
"He just left like that?"
Xing Rui looked at the dust in the distance with some confusion. She always felt that things were not that simple.
"Are Hong Churen afraid of causing trouble for us?"
Liang Sheng also looked at the dust along the way and said.
"It's good to leave. It will be good for everyone if we leave, girl."
After coming back to his senses, Old Man Wang handed Xing Rui the fifty taels of silver notes in his hand.
As a result, Xing Rui forcefully rolled it into Old Man Wang's hand.
"Godfather, keep this money. Didn't you hear Uncle Hong say that this is money for you and your godmother to provide for your retirement?"
Take it, go back and put it away for your godmother."
When Old Man Wang saw that Xing Rui insisted on not wanting it, he took it back.
"Well, I asked your godmother to keep it properly and take it out for you when you need money. Let's go home for dinner."
Mrs. Wang was a little regretful when she heard that Hong Churen had left like this.
"Okay, they're leaving, let's eat, eat."
"grandmother,"
The little bean sprouts looked at the delicious dishes on the table, and the greedy insects almost crawled out of their stomachs.
Just watch Mrs. Wang bake some white flour cakes and stew a pot of green onion and tofu soup.
I fried a plate of celery. I had eggs at home, and I also fried eggs and leeks.
A bowl of salted eggs and a big bowl of steamed bacon, the only piece of bacon at home.
This is really more abundant than the Chinese New Year. The children have already washed their hands one by one.
They just waited for everyone to sit down before they dared to sit down and eat.
This is the rule Xing Rui set for the children after coming here.
Wash your hands before eating, and never allow elders to sit down without first sitting down.
Every time his godfather and stepmother didn't sit down to eat, Xing Rui would not sit down to eat first.
"Okay, everyone is sitting down. I'm going to serve you some tofu soup."
The room was in full swing while eating, and a man opened the door and walked in.
Liang Sheng keenly felt someone standing behind him, and when he turned around, he frowned sharply.
