Chapter 45: Too much confidence is pride
The five of them came to the inn at the same time as before, and when they saw the black crowd in the inn, they almost thought that they had gone to the wrong place. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, when Zhao Youfu saw Ye Ziqi, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Ziqi, almost all the people in the village are here today, do you see this?"
Ye Ziqi said: "It's okay. ”
Ye Ziqi walked into the crowd and casually glanced at everyone present.
Soon Ye Ziqi smiled and said: "Uncles, aunts, aunts, brothers, sisters, if you are here to earn those two pennies, you can stay." If you just came to help, except for the five aunts, aunts, and sisters yesterday, unless you think your cooking skills are better than others, you can stay and help, I can only say sorry for the rest!"
After Ye Ziqi's words fell, the surrounding discussions gradually rose. Occasionally, women walked out of the inn in groups, and most of them stayed.
Including Liu Chunhua, there are almost 20 women left, including Chen Guihua's mother-in-law and Zhao Hongxia.
After seeing that no one was leaving, Ye Ziqi took out the account book from the front of the hall and said, "I believe that uncles, aunts, aunts, brothers, and sisters don't need me to say, what is this for." So let's get started!"
In less than a quarter of an hour, Ye Ziqi wrote the name of the person doing the work. Except for seven or eight women, the rest were men, a full third more than yesterday.
Ye Ziqi counted the people who cooked, in addition to the five people from yesterday, there were also five people who stayed today, plus Zhou Dapeng and Zhao Hongxia, it was just right.
"Okay, Aunt Liu Fang, you take the aunt who stayed behind to help, aunt, and sisters, go to the kitchen to cook food for everyone first. "I haven't seen Zhou Dapeng's figure all along, Ye Ziqi knows that he must be in the kitchen, so he will let Liu Fang and the others go by themselves.
After the few people who cooked the rice left, Ye Ziqi said to the people who stayed in the lobby: "Don't stand, everyone, the person who cooks the rice has just gone to the kitchen, and it is not so fast to eat, everyone will sit down first." ”
Although everyone responded piecemeal, few people sat down.
After a while, Zhao Youfu said: "Why don't we do something first, and then come back?" ”
Zhao Youfu's words were quickly approved by others.
Ye Ziqi saw that everyone was so active, and it was not easy to do things for too long at this time, so he thought for a while and said, "Uncle Youfu, you can bring someone to carry the trunks and branches of the trees that were handled yesterday to you, and you can come back for dinner." ”
Zhao Youfu also knew that he couldn't do much at this time, so he should take someone away. Shen Tiannan also silently followed everyone away.
After everyone left, Ye Ziqi said to Chen Guihua's mother-in-law: "Grandma, you sit here, let's go to the kitchen and have a look." ”
Chen Guihua's mother-in-law knew that she could eat such a good meal yesterday and that she could come here today because of Ye Ziqi, so she smiled and responded.
Ye Ziqi saw that Zhao Hongxia was still standing motionless, and said, "Are you here to join in the fun today?"
Zhao Hongxia snorted and said disdainfully: "It's better to learn from them to cook than from my mother, maybe they don't cook as delicious as I cook!"
"Self-confidence is good, but being too confident is pride! If that's what you think, you shouldn't be here today to waste your time. Ye Ziqi said and went to the kitchen with Ye Zixu.
After Ye Ziqi and the four of them left, Zhao Hongxia kept replaying in her mind the disdainful glance that Ye Zixu had when he walked to her.
It stands to reason that she should be angry when she is looked down upon, but the more Zhao Hongxia thinks about it, the more red her face becomes. Finally, I unconsciously walked in the direction of the kitchen.
Because no one led the way, Zhao Hongxia took the wrong road several times, and finally found the kitchen.
As soon as she arrived in the kitchen, Zhao Hongxia began to look for Ye Zixu. But when I walked around the kitchen site, I didn't see that handsome face.
For most of the year, Ye Ziqi and Ye Zijuan may not have changed much, but for Ye Zixu, who has entered the teenager, the change is obvious. Not only is he a son, but his face is gradually maturing.
Zhao Hongxia didn't see the person she wanted to see, but as soon as she walked into the kitchen, she was seen by Zhou Dapeng.
Zhou Dapeng always remembered what Ye Ziqi asked him to teach Zhao Hongxia yesterday, so as soon as he saw this little girl who was half a head taller than Ye Ziqi and Ye Zijuan and had a beautiful face, he said, "Hongxia is here!"
Zhou Dapeng saw that as soon as his words fell, Zhao Hongxia's face fell, and he thought that Zhao Hongxia was brought here by Liu Chun**, so he would be like this.
Zhou Dapeng felt that it would backfire for him to force Zhao Hongxia again at this time, so he smiled: "You take a look around first, and then teach you when Uncle Zhou is free." ”
Zhao Hongxia originally wanted to say what Ye Ziqi said again, but in order to find the person she was looking for as soon as possible, she turned around and left.
What Zhao Hongxia didn't know was the person she was thinking about, and after Ye Ziqi saw that there was nothing in the kitchen to ask them to help, the four of them came to the place where the four of them were working yesterday.
After watching everyone carry away all the trees that had been handled yesterday, the four of them went back to the lobby of the inn with everyone.
So Zhao Hongxia, who had been looking for people around the kitchen, didn't know that the person she was looking for was already in the lobby until she carried the food to the lobby with the people in the kitchen, of course, she came empty-handed in the lobby.
After everyone finished eating, Ye Ziqi said: "Uncles, brothers, your own ability, you know better than me, so whether you want to cut down trees or deal with trees, you have to choose yourself." As for a few aunts, it will be troublesome for the aunts' children's fathers to take care of them!"
Based on Ye Ziqi's ruthlessness at the beginning, several women who wanted to earn those two pennies thought that they would not be able to please them, but now it seems that they may not.
Everyone was amused by Ye Ziqi for a while, and when they were about to do what they had chosen, they heard Ye Ziqi say again: "Aunt Chunhua and Aunt Yulan stayed with us to deal with the trunk and branches." ”
Liu Yulan is also Zhao Youfu's wife.
After two days of 'statistics' of names, Ye Ziqi learned that the surnames in this small mountain village are relatively mixed, with the surnames Zhao and Liu being the majority.
Because Zhao Youfu deals with trees, and Liu Chunhua's situation is clear to everyone, and the other women and men all choose to cut trees, so Liu Yulan didn't think much about Ye Ziqi leaving her.
Liu Chunhua was very clear about Ye Ziqi's real purpose in keeping the two of them.
Because they knew that the people who went to cut down trees had to bring back the trees they cut down later yesterday afternoon, Ye Ziqi and Ye Zijuan didn't do it at first, and Ye Zicheng and Ye Zixu were also splitting in a slightly stronger state than people of their age.
Where to deal with the trunks and branches, in addition to Ye Ziqi's four people, there are also Liu Chunhua and Liu Yulan left by Ye Ziqi, Zhou Dapeng and Zhao Hongxia, who have nothing to do, are also there.
At first, everyone else thought that Zhao Hongxia came here because Liu Chunhua was here. But soon her real purpose was discovered by Ye Ziqi and Ye Zijuan, but the two pretended not to know very tacitly.
may be because she was told by Ye Ziqi just now, when Zhao Hongxia saw that Ye Ziqi and Ye Zijuan were just helping to sort out the branches, she looked down on the two more and more.
