Chapter 17: Shafts Are Not Enough
Liu He had a very vague impression of the two people who said bad things about him in person, although they seemed to be from the same village, but Luyan Village was not small Liu He couldn't be very familiar with everyone, he turned to Aunt Hongmei and asked, "Aunt Hongmei, who are these two people?" ”
Ignoring it, this is why you don't take the other party in your eyes at all. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the face of the teasing of the two villagers just now, Liu Zheng wanted to fight back, but the other party was older than him, and in some places children couldn't interject at all, sometimes they could be unreasonable, but when Liu He spoke, the spirit of standing at the top and completely despising the opponent has always made Liu Zheng yearn for his brother.
"Xiaohe, this is also Zhang Xuezhi and Zhang Xueming from our village, they live a little below the opposite side of the Huangshi River, according to the seniority, you two brothers should call each other uncle, don't mind that they are all joking with you!" Aunt Hongmei reluctantly told the identities of the two villagers.
In fact, Aunt Hongmei was reluctant to explain in her heart, because the two brothers of the Zhang family had a bad reputation in the village, not to mention the small belly and chicken intestines, and the relationship with the surrounding neighbors was very poor.
It turned out that Liu Hesuan finally found an entanglement between the Zhang family and their family from the depths of his memory.
That was at least five years ago, although Liu Kaiming was farming in the village, but he was a carpenter, and the villagers in the village liked to invite Liu Kaiming when they were making furniture or making houses, and the two brothers of the Zhang family were also doing carpentry work, and their peers were enemies, and Liu Kaiming naturally suffered from the hatred of the Zhang brothers.
In my last life, I heard my father say, once a family in the village did a happy event to play furniture, because the Zhang brothers bid very low, the family is not financially well-off, and naturally chose each other, but there is no good goods, the furniture made by the Zhang brothers is just the appearance of OK, especially the marriage bed was shaken apart by a couple of newlyweds on the wedding day, and then the family found the father to renovate all the furniture for them, although the father of the villagers was unwilling but could not bear the persuasion of the other party, and the next job is not with the Zhang brothers The grudge is deeper.
Now Liu Kaiming has not done carpentry work, although Liu He and the two brothers are reluctant to say no matter how they ask their father, but Liu He still knows the information gathered from hearsay, it is because Liu Kaiming was framed by the Zhang brothers, and he will not say much here, anyway, Liu Kaiming has no longer engaged in carpentry work since then.
However, the Zhang brothers also miscalculated, even if their father did not engage in carpentry work, with their carpentry skills, they still lost their work in the village, and the villagers would rather find people from other villages to make furniture than call them, and finally became a complete farmer.
In some ways, the sentences used by the ancestors are very apt, and dogs can't change eating.
The Zhang brothers are like this, they don't reflect on the fact that they always impose all their mistakes on others, and after they lose their way to earn money as carpenters, they blame all the reasons for everything on the villagers and their former colleague Liu Kaiming, who have conflicts with them.
The eyes must be repaid, the heart is narrow-minded, the baht must be compared, and the weapon of the bucket must be ...... They are all applicable to this word, this is not long after Liu Datou's warning yesterday, and today the old problem has been committed again.
Liu He disdained such a person, and after Aunt Hongmei's introduction, he didn't make a sound, and took Liu Zheng to the place where the bluestone was already being used as a cofferdam.
"Two little hairy children, no tutor at all!" Zhang Xuezhi said angrily.
"Hmph, I think it's because the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked." Zhang Xueming followed and said.
Seeing that the two old men who were not active in business and gossip were running with their mouths full, Aunt Hongmei shook her head lightly and followed Liu He with a basket, and shouted as she walked: "Everyone rest and rest, don't get heat stroke this day, come and drink some mung bean soup and eat a few steamed buns." ”
"Haha, Brother Kaiqing is righteous, not to mention the money for a job, but also bring additional meals, in the future, your family will look for me, I will definitely arrive as soon as possible."
"Sister-in-law Hongmei, I don't get used to cooking food for us every day when I go home in the future, if I can marry a daughter-in-law like Sister-in-law Hongmei, then Amitabha."
“……”
"Eat yours, fist-sized steamed buns can't stop your mouth." Rural women are relatively strong, and they can resist some half-meat and half-vegetarian jokes.
At this time, Liu Kaiming also walked to the place where everyone was resting, looked at Liu He and Liu Zheng and asked, "What did my surname Zhang tell you just now?" ”
"Nothing ......"
Without waiting for Liu He to finish speaking, Liu Zheng said all the words that the two brothers of the Zhang family had said before, and imitated each other's actions and tone, and in the end, he praised Liu He's way of coping.
Liu Kaiming bowed slightly, it was best for his children to deal with it like this without suffering a loss, and then thought about it and said: "The two brothers of the Zhang family and I are the grievances of the previous generation, you two children don't pay attention to it, when they say it, go far, the most important thing is not to affect learning." ”
"Got it......" Liu Zheng replied in a lengthened tone, obviously he was very disgusted by his father's reasoning.
Liu He let out a low "um", and then the whole person behaved lightly.
And his performance made Liu Kaiming very pleased, the eldest son Liu He is finally sensible, he is a lot more cheerful, not to mention, but more importantly, he is very proper.
"Hewa, yo, I haven't seen my clothes in a foreign style for a few days, and even my hairstyle has completely changed, what's the matter with you, my enlightened brother didn't work hard to earn money for you to spend it indiscriminately." At this time, Liu Kaiqing finally had time, and grabbed Liu He and began to preach.
Whether he really cares about Liu He's distinction, Liu Kaiqing is the cousin who has always cared about his studies, and in the face of his cousin's question, Liu He smiled and replied: "Uncle Cousin, don't worry, this is the only case, see my performance in the future." ”
Needless to say, many promises are touching, and expressing them with practical actions is even more moving, this move once again made Liu Zheng's heart vibrate next to him, and his mind flickered.
"Well, your kid has become more calm, Brother Enlightened, is it really okay for He Wazi's tuition?" Liu Kaiqing turned his head to Liu Kaiming and asked.
"Hehe, it's been solved, but the occasion you are laying now is not small, and I can support some if the funds are tight." In the past, when it came to money, the courage was three points weaker, and the income obtained with Qishi was very confident.
A few people chatted, and Liu He suddenly said to Liu Kaiqing: "Uncle Cousin, I don't see that you have a lot of bluestone and cement in the cofferdam, so there won't be any problems with the fort like this, right?" ”
"What did He Wa say, now that the hurdles are not done, you are talking nonsense, Brother Kaiqing, don't go to your heart, this is purely childish words blowing away." As soon as Liu He finished speaking, he was reprimanded by Liu Kaiming and apologized to Liu Kaiqing.
However, how could Liu He forget what he had experienced in history, he still decided to remind Uncle Tang not to let history repeat itself, and let Liu Kaiqing bid farewell to his tragic fate: "Dad, Uncle Tang, I'm not joking, have you asked experts about the cofferdam, in case of flooding, how much water can the weir withstand?" ”
"This ......," Uncle Liu Kaiqing looked embarrassed.
