Chapter 54: Confession
Wu Nuandong smiled, it was still easy to see the small movements of a few people with her skills, "There is such a thing, I want to tell you uncles and aunts." ”
"What's the matter?" The garden is a little embarrassed, seriously the martial arts are their owners, how can there be any forced wages to the owners before they are completed, but the battle is just that the martial arts family has no adults. The garden also knew that what he was doing was not authentic, but it was no match for the nagging of the daughter-in-law at home.
"Wait for the three aunts who are cooking, let's talk together!" Wu Nuandong looked outside the courtyard, at this time the suites on both sides of the courtyard had been built, the front yard was no longer so wide, and there were thirty strong men standing messily, somewhat crowded. After lunch, the three aunts went home to rest for a while, and only returned in the afternoon to prepare for the next day's meal.
At this moment, the three aunts and the village chief followed Wu Xia Zhi to the small courtyard, the Wu brothers and sisters said hello to the four people, Wu Nuandong continued: "Grandpa the village chief, there are a few uncles who want to be paid, we specially ask you to come and testify."
The village chief frowned, angrily swept over the few men standing in it who were eager to try, sighed, and finally nodded, "Little girl of the martial family, you say, if there is something, I will call the shots for you!" Closing his words, he sat on the chair that Wu Xingzhou moved for him and closed his eyes to recuperate.
"That's right, it's true that as everyone said, the martial arts family is not a so-called big family, the money is limited, if you want to pay the uncles and aunts, please tell me, I will give the money to everyone, the same, after the money is sent, we are afraid that we will not be able to ask a few helpers, after all, it is not good for the turnover of the martial arts family to take out so much money at once."
Zhou turned around, but anyone who has a little insight understands that the little girl of the martial family is changing the law to blow away the troublesome villagers and not hire them, the old village chief coughed lightly, and looked down on the little girl of the martial family, this tactful little way is really not like what a child can do.
Immediately, ten people came up, received their wages, and with the acquiescence of the old village chief, each crossed his name from the list, including the garden, and then left happily with the silver in his hand.
The old village chief was just about to get up, but he was stopped by the smiling Wu Nuandong, "The village chief's grandfather still has something." ”
"Hmmm! You said! The old village chief sat down obediently again, there was no way, Wu Nuandong, this little girl smiled all day long, in fact, she had the most ghost ideas, even if she was angry, she could laugh out, which showed how deep the city government was. and her third brother, who looked at everyone lightly as if nothing had happened, full of aura.
"I want to thank all the uncles and aunts for not bullying us for being weak, and for being willing to help our four brothers and sisters." After speaking, the four children bowed to the villagers who were left behind, which made the twenty or so people embarrassed, after all, they couldn't help Wujiawa say a few good words.
"Before, we didn't think it through, and the salary should be given to everyone on a daily basis!" Wu Xingzhou went on to say that this was discussed by several brothers and sisters in advance, and it was just a matter of using this matter to get away people who didn't work hard and fished in troubled waters. If the gossip had known that he had been used by a few children, he would have vomited blood.
"In the future, uncles and aunts will come to us to receive wages before going home, and at the end of the day, uncles and aunts will have an explanation with their families! And because of the small number of people and the tight construction period, I will manage three meals in the future, so that the uncles and aunts will be full. Wu Xingzhou said with a smile, the result of the matter is good, these people left behind are all sincere and sincere work, they are all kind neighbors, and when Dad and Grandpa come to find them, they must tell them about these things one by one, those who have helped them, they will also help others in the future.
Two days later, the people who received the wages and left only learned that the wages were paid on a daily basis and that they were in charge of an extra full meal, and they immediately regretted that it was impossible to go back.
The brothers of the Song family laughed at these ten households for this matter, because of the small loss, they deserved it!
Now the whole village knows that the children of the martial arts family are small, but they are not so easy to handle.
And Cheng Zijing secretly returned to Cheng's house with a complicated mood, a few children who were not older than him actually acted so safely, and they were much more powerful than him in everything, how could they think that they were useless......
With a huge amount of money, Wu Nuandong put the matter of sending his brothers to the private school on the agenda, the three children did not agree, the house at home was not built, and the younger sister was weak, so it was not time to go to school at all.
Wu Nuandong waved his little hand and pouted, and he was very willful to settle this matter, isn't he afraid that she will not be cared for? Wouldn't it be enough to go to private school with my brothers?
On the day of the resumption of the construction period, the walls were all built, high and thick, not only to prevent the beasts but also to prevent the thieves, Wu Nuandong planted a lot of thorn vines in front and behind the wall.
In the evening, Wu Qiuzhi steamed the crabs and shrimp directly, and the fresh and fragrant smell filled the courtyard in an instant.
The three elder brothers have never eaten steamed crabs, and most of the river crabs occasionally caught in the north in the past are the size of chess pieces.
This also caused the three children to stare at the red crab with big eyes and were at a loss.
Wu Nuandong was not in a hurry, he filled a small dish of ginger vinegar sauce, and slowly took out a hammer, scissors, tweezers, bamboo sticks and spoons. The other two brothers were also curious, and the few things that Wu Nuandong took out were all pocket-sized gadgets, which didn't seem to be of much use.
Wu Nuandong tilted his head and explained, "I'm small and can't bite, of course I need to get some auxiliary equipment!" As she spoke, she first picked up a small hammer and then clamped a crab, "Hit the edge of the crab's back and forth with the hammer, like this, knock the crab shell loose so that the lid can be lifted." After that, he neatly lifted the big lid of the back shell, scraped off the paste with a small spoon, and put it on the plates of the three brothers, "Taste the paste first, this crab is really good, so fat!" ”
I took a bite of the ointment, the mellow aroma and thick and smooth taste opened Wu Nuandong's taste buds, and I couldn't wait to start dismantling the crab legs, poking out the crab leg meat with a bamboo skewer, and several brothers also followed suit and ate it.
The eight pieces of crabs were popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and Wu Nuandong did not intend to carry forward the crab-eating culture on behalf of the people, so he did not explain much.
"It's strange, why didn't Brother Zijing come today!" Wu Xia Zhi has given up this kind of polite eating, and directly knocks with his teeth, eating more quickly than Wu Nuandong, a veteran. In the afternoon, he obviously said to Cheng Zijing, let him and the old housekeeper come over to eat crabs, Cheng Zijing has never been disappointed, why is today an exception.
At this time, Cheng Zijing was overstimulated by the precocious wisdom of the four brothers and sisters, and he was lying on the bed with low self-esteem and gnawing on the quilt with tears in his eyes!
"Maybe something else!" Wu Xingzhou didn't raise his head, and he seemed to like the taste of sea crabs very much.
"It's okay, I already sent half a bucket of shrimp and crabs yesterday, maybe they have already eaten it." Wu Qiuzhi felt that it was good that Cheng Zijing didn't come, so he always talked flatteringly in front of Nuan Nuan and didn't do practical things, which made people suspicious. Cheng Zijing was not there, he was in a good mood, and a warm smile opened at the corner of his mouth, but he was burying his head in helping Nuan Nuan pick the crab meat, and no one noticed it. Wu Qiuzhi stopped after eating two crabs, for him, eating crabs is far less pleasant than eating meat, and he can eat two bites and taste fresh, and he feels uncomfortable in his stomach.
Wu Nuandong ate eight of them, and he hiccuped, and the rest of the shrimp didn't touch a bite. Wu Qiuzhi was afraid that Nuan Nuan would be cold, so he deliberately cooked sweaty ginger soup and stared at Wu Nuandong and drank a cup.
