58. Small stone slabs by the river
Early the next morning, Aunt Gui came over with osmanthus and knocked on the door of the Gao family's courtyard, and they had to go to work. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Life is like a small river rushing forward, even if there are stones in the middle and big trees blocking the way, but they should go forward or go forward, and it is a big deal to turn a small bend - the twists and turns in their hearts and Boss Zhang are all small stones in front of their livelihood, and they cannot play any role in hindering them.
Man Qing's face was a little bad, but when she saw the osmanthus, she found that her face was even worse. And Osmanthus also changed the hearty way that she usually laughed out loud in three sentences, and today she didn't know why she kept her mouth shut and didn't speak. Aunt Gui cared about Man Qing for a few words, and when she saw that she didn't speak, she didn't say much.
The one who came to pick them up was still a senior four. In the past two days, he was arranged by Boss Zhang for other things, so they were very excited at the moment when they hadn't seen Man Qing for two days. But after only saying a few words, he realized that something was wrong, why were these people so silent? He looked sideways at Osmanthus, and he didn't even speak this chatter?
"Ahem-" Gao Siliang decided to break this silence, "Osmanthus, I heard that Uncle Liu bought two more little wolf dog cubs, and now the river is lively!"
"What?" Osmanthus likes puppies and kittens the most, and her eyes lit up when she heard this, "Are you sure it's a wolf dog's cub? How old is it? What color? Have you seen it?"
"It's all gray! It's okay, it's usually big -- I was in a hurry to pick you up in the morning, so I took a look, it looks good! Hehe, look at it yourself in a moment, you must like it!"
"Is there anything else besides the puppy?" Osmanthus leaned out and leaned towards the senior four on the wheel outside, "Last time Uncle Liu said that he wanted to catch two little piglets, did you catch them?" I said that I would catch two geese! You see so much grass by the river, just let it go, and the geese can eat a round belly...... The goose meat is marinated and delicious!"
Hearing the back, Man Qing couldn't help but bow her head and snicker, while Aunt Gui hated that iron could not become steel, and slapped her stupid daughter's arm, "You know how to eat!"
It's not good for a girl to be like this. The good thing is that it is more open, and there will not be a tendon, so I don't know how much trouble it will have; the bad thing is that a few little cubs can lead the girl's mind away - when will this be mature and stable?
Osmanthus was beaten inexplicably, and turned around and shouted at her mother: "Why did you beat me, mother!
Aunt Gui suddenly had a toothache, "It's okay, I just saw a mosquito, I'll take a picture of it for you!"
"Oh", Osmanthus looked at her arm, and wondered in her heart that mosquitoes could bite in after wearing two layers of clothes, which was really amazing! She also patted her arm, and then turned her head and continued to talk to Gao Siliang about what small animals should be raised by the river.
Fortunately, Zhang Ye was not there when he arrived at the river, saying that he was recruiting people, and he had to work for a few days. Man Qing let out a long sigh of relief. And Osmanthus also got a new errand every day, taking care of the new puppies and piglets, which greatly reduced the time spent alone with Manqing, and made Manqing breathe a sigh of relief even more.
After three or four days, Zhang Ye came back, and brought back twenty-one people, five craftsmen, twelve small workers, as well as two mothers-in-law who did rough work and two girls who helped Manqing.
In this way, there are seven women working by the river, and Manqing is not conspicuous at all in the middle. Moreover, when the village heard that there were so many women working by the river, they probably knew that their wages were high, and they asked if they needed people.
There were more people by the river, and everyone became more and more busy. Man Qing and another mother-in-law are the head chefs, and Aunt Gui and the two girls work together, buying and washing vegetables every day, and cleaning up the dishes after eating. It's hot now, and I have to cook mung bean soup or something in the middle of the morning and half in the afternoon, and I have to cook all the food in the evening before I can go back. At the end of the day, there is no time to rest except for an hour in the afternoon.
After being busy for several days, and seeing that the next day was another rest day, not only Manqing, but also everyone else had more smiles on their faces.
In the afternoon, more than 50 people on the construction site came to finish their meal, and then each found a place to take a nap. Man Qing and the girls of Osmanthus also got a quieter grass hut a little farther away. Manqing was considered the head chef, so she didn't have to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, so as soon as she finished eating, she hurriedly walked out - they didn't need her help, so she should naturally move the place and not get in the way.
The scorching sun was in the sky, and after screaming all day, I seemed to be tired, and my voice was quieter at this time. Man Qing sweated a lot, but it was impossible to take a shower, and it was still okay to wash his hands. After walking a few hundred steps upstream, turning two corners, a large stone slab was laid on the edge of a large piece of bamboo, facing the water's edge. This large stone slab was recently paved by Zhang Ye, saying that the women working by the river also have a clean place to wash their hands, and the men generally wash down very consciously and will not come here.
It was noon, and everything was silent. The stone slab is quite large, and it is okay for Man Qing to lie down alone, and the location is very good, with layers of bamboo branches on it, which can shade the sun and avoid light rain, like a Futian cave hidden by the river. And because of this place to the grass hut where everyone rests has to walk hundreds of steps, not to mention the men who want to avoid suspicion, even the women are lazy, and few are willing to come.
Manqing loved this slate very much. At noon, while they are still busy and they are done, come here to sit, blow the river breeze, look at the scenery near and far, and let your thoughts drift for a while, it is the best time of the day.
She didn't know that this place was originally built by Zhang Ye for her alone. At this time, he was finally almost busy, standing on the edge of the tung forest not far away, looking at the comfortable little girl, his heart was like the water of the Tong River, sparkling and rippling in the soft breeze.
He's got more to build for her, and that's just the beginning. Zhang Ye looked around, thinking that since he had made up his mind, he still had to discuss with the little girl, after all, that was also where she would live in the future, wouldn't it?
"Ahem-Man-Miss Gao, why are you here?" Zhang Ye smiled and walked towards Manqing.
Man Qingzheng didn't know where she had drifted in her thoughts, when she suddenly heard this sound, she was so frightened that she almost rolled into the river!
Zhang Ye was also startled, he didn't know that the other party was so timid, he saw that the action just now was extremely dangerous, the water in this river is not shallow...... "Miss Gao, be careful! Miss Gao can swim?"
Seeing that this person was frightened, Man Qing had no intention of apologizing, and threw out such an inexplicable question -- I have never heard of a girl who can swim in this area of dozens of miles! The girl's family is not a child, and the slightly older family will not let her go out, how can she go to the river to soak and learn to swim!
However, what happened before is embarrassing, this person is the boss again, because Man Qing is going to swallow this breath, "Zhang-the boss is here." Do you want to wash your hands? Then come and wash yourself, I'm leaving. ”
"Wait a minute!" Zhang Yepestle was in front of him, blocking her way, "Miss Gao, you haven't answered my question yet!"
When Man Qing looked up, he saw a big bear with a hairy face, and his sparkling eyes, and he was glaring at her a little unhappily at the moment - he was still unhappy?!"What does it matter to you whether I swim or not?!"
"Of course it's my business!" Zhang Ye frowned slightly, and decided to make the matter more serious, "You work by the river every day, how can you not know the water? What if you fall? Do you want me to catch you?"
Man Qing was speechless to the extreme! This man was completely insane! How could a little girl ask an adult man to teach swimming!
"Get out of the way, I'm going back to the hut!" Manqing said almost through gritted teeth.
"Don't let it!" Zhang Ye looked at Man Qing's appearance of being about to grow and shiny paws, and knew in his heart that he shouldn't be provoked, but he just couldn't help but do it, "Unless you promise me that I will teach you to swim!
Man Qing only hated himself for being weak at the moment and not stepping hard enough, because he didn't look at the man who was on his feet, and quickly walked away past him.
After walking a few steps and looking back, I saw that the man was still looking down at his feet, obviously still in pain. Then, as if sensing something, he looked up at her. It's just that the look doesn't look like it's angry, but it's like a puppy that has been kicked by the osmanthus family, a little aggrieved and helpless - Man Qing shook her head slightly, feeling that she must have seen it wrong, how could such a big man have that kind of look! However, it's ridiculous to think about, who knows that the majestic Boss Zhang has been frequently deflated by her recently?
Thinking of Manqing's footsteps, he was brisk, and there was a little smile on his face, like the little wildflower on the side of the road, not amazing, but also quite moving.
