In the days that followed, the veterans were busy building roads.
These people are already in their prime and have served as soldiers for so many years, so it is very easy to do these things.
A large section of the originally rugged mountain road was quickly leveled. When I was going to Yelang City and delivering books to Bajun every day, the benefits were immediately apparent. I could go down the mountain in just over a quarter of a second if my legs were fast.
.
During the construction of the road, the blind relatives in the village also helped a lot. Whenever they had free time, the young people in the village would come to help, and the women and children would also come to bring some tea and food.
The laughter and laughter really made it a prosperous scene.
However, Chen Mu did not feel too grateful to these villagers. Perhaps more of this was because they wanted to work for him and were deliberately showing their courtesy.
People can never help you for no reason.
After being bombarded by society in his previous life, Chen Mu knew one truth very well: flowers and bees will come naturally. As long as you are strong enough, everything will smile on you.
Before he knew it, it was less than a month before the Children's Examination. During this period, Chen Mu almost stayed at home, studying the Four Books and Five Classics and studying Long Xia Ce Lun.
For people who have a photographic memory, as long as they see the literary records of Confucianism, it is not a problem to live a childish life and become a scholar.
At noon that day, after studying all morning, Chen Mu stretched himself in front of the door and left the house. I have to say that he was really tired from studying.
After walking a short distance, Chen Mu discovered that Xiahou was heading towards Lao Wangtou's home carrying a basket of firewood.
There were quite a lot of girls waiting to be married in the village. After these dozen men mixed up in the village, I realized that they had gone to heaven.
The mountain road is basically completed. When they have nothing to do, these guys like to go to the house of the girl they like. Of course, they are not messing around.
Chen Mu did not object. After all, humans are all animals, and it is instinct to find women to mate. However, he also established a rule for this reason. He was not allowed to bully the villagers. If other women were unwilling, force them to get out of the village immediately.
But now these veterans are working on their own. In the eyes of the people in the village, their parents are dead, their jobs are stable, they are clean, and they have a lot of energy, so they are very popular.
No, Xiahou is carrying firewood for his future father-in-law.
"Hey, isn't this Xiahou? I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you so embarrassed?"
Hearing Chen Mu's teasing, Xiahou's face instantly turned red. He really didn't dare to think that a commander of hundreds of cavalry who killed many people on the battlefield would act so shyly.
I'm afraid... I haven't even touched a girl's hand.
"Mu...Brother Mu? Aren't you studying at home?"
Chen Mu smiled: "I've finished reading, and I'm going to the city to check out the shops. What are you doing?"
Xia Hou scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "Isn't this...has Cuihong's house finished burning the firewood? I'll chop down a basket."
Chen Mu couldn't help but roll her eyes at him: "Good boy, I don't have any firewood at home. If I don't have any firewood for cooking tonight, you're the only one asking me."
"Brother Mu, what you said...wait, you want to go to the city? Take me with you."
After that, Xiahou picked up the firewood and ran towards Lao Wangtou's house.
"What are you doing in the city?"
Seeing how hurried this guy was, Chen Mu couldn't help but ask.
"I have always noticed that the silver hairpin my sister-in-law wears is very beautiful, and I was thinking... to buy one for Cuihong."
"That one costs about one tael of silver. You only have ten taels of silver in total. Are you willing to give it up?"
Xia Hou smiled naively: "I like her, I'm willing to give it up."
Okay, this guy is trapped in a love whirlpool.
"But I still have to advise you. If you spend a hundred cents to buy a few kilograms of pork, it will definitely be more effective than if you spend one tael of silver to buy a silver hairpin."
"Why?"
Chen Mu was like preaching, saying in Xiahou's ear: "Think about it, if you buy a basket of pork, the two elderly people in the family will definitely be happy. It doesn't matter whether Cuihong blooms or not. What matters most is that the mother-in-law and father-in-law are happy.
.”
Upon hearing this, Xia Hou slapped his thigh fiercely: "That's right! If Uncle Wang doesn't agree, then it's not in vain. One hundred wen is much more effective than one tael of silver."
Chen Mu rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'll give you a true message. It's always better to please your future wife's sisters and parents than to please the wife herself. Let's go."
After saying that, Chen Mu looked like a tall man and walked towards the city with his sleeves fluttered.
The crowds in Yelang City are still crowded, and this is when the shops are busy.
Standing outside the shop, Chen Mu saw a dozen people buying books inside, while Liu Si was collecting money at the front desk.
Chen Mucai was about to say hello, but suddenly he found Han Mei'er sitting on a chair at the front desk with her arms stretched out, like a grandpa, holding a bunch of candied haws in her hand.
But for some reason, he looked impatient.
Now Chen Mu is too lazy to think too much. I gave you the money to help your wife, and his mother even came here to eat.
Then he walked up quickly and asked, "What are you doing? I give you fifty cents a day just to let you sit here and rest?"
Seeing Chen Mu's sudden arrival, Han Mei'er jumped up in an instant. She let go of her hand and smashed the candied haws on the ground. Her eyes were filled with tears and she wanted to say something, but in the end she lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong.
"Go back to the village. You don't have to come tomorrow."
As soon as the dismissal order was given, Han Meier burst into tears.
"The head of the house, Mei'er, is very diligent, not you..."
Liu Si wanted to step forward and explain, but he didn't want to. The next moment, a very familiar voice sounded in his ears.
"Brother Mu, please don't. Miss Mei'er is right. Hehe, no, I see she is so thin, so I feel guilty and want to help her."
Hearing the sound, Chen Mu turned around and realized that Qi Zeguang was also in the store!
Liu Sipei smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Qi raised a chair for Meier to sit on. Mr. Qi is busy with the shop today."
After listening to Liu Si's explanation, Chen Mu finally understood. Qi Zeguang came to find him early this morning. Who would have thought that this guy didn't find him, but bumped into Han Mei'er instead, so the current scene happened.
As for what this guy wants to do, Chen Mu can figure it out with his butt.
After getting to know each other these days, Chen Muke has figured out this guy thoroughly and has a mating machine in place. As a friend, there is no need to say that if anyone marries this guy, he will definitely be in trouble for eight lifetimes.
Han Meier's family background is so innocent. She is a simple peasant girl. If she is harmed by this guy, and she is pulled out and disowned afterwards, will she be able to marry in the future?
"You have no bottom line, you are such a naive girl, you can do anything to me and go out to prostitute us..."
Before Chen Mu could finish speaking, Qi Zeguang tensed up when he heard the last two words!
The next moment, he covered Chen Mu's mouth and dragged him out the door like a dead dog.
"Aren't we brothers anymore? If all our affairs are revealed, how will Miss Renmei'er view me?"
Seeing the nervousness on Qi Zeguang's face, Chen Mu couldn't help but said scornfully: "You...are you still afraid of this?"
Qi Zeguang said seriously: "Brother, I'm not kidding you. I think I have met true love this time. You are a scholar. You should know about love at first sight, right?"
"Pooh!"
It happened that the wind was cold, and Chen Mu spit out thick phlegm on the ground.
"You boy fall in love at first sight every day. Those women you play with are nothing. Let's not talk about it. Han Mei'er is a young girl who has never been exposed to the world. How can you do it?"
Qi Zeguang looked helpless: "Old Chen, I'm really not kidding. This time I really feel that this girl Mei'er is the woman I will spend my whole life with."
Chen Mu pointed at an old woman on the street, pretending to be Qi Zeguang and said: "When you get up every day and see your wife looking like this, do you still believe in growing old together? Brother, this is what you taught me."
Qi Zeguang threw several big-eared melon seeds in succession: "I...I'm just kidding you. Ever since I met her this morning, I suddenly believe in love."
"Do you believe in love? You just want to mate with me. Are you going to invite me to your house for a few cups of tea in the afternoon?"
"Hey, how do you know?" Qi Zeguang couldn't help but blurt out.
"Bah, I have to arrange a marriage for Miss Mei'er tomorrow. I'm going to kill you. It's too damn dangerous. It seems like we'll have to hire fewer female workers in the future."
Now, even if Qi Zeguang has a hundred mouths, he still can't explain it. If he had known this, he would only talk so much after eating that day. Once established, it is basically irreversible.
"Brother-in-law! Brother Jiang He was hacked!"
But just as the two were arguing, a cry and howl suddenly came from the street.
