Men need women much more than women need men.

This need is not purely physical, but spiritual and emotional. There is love because of need, and there is family because there is love.

With a family, a man can have the second half of his life, otherwise he will always be like duckweed, drifting with the waves. Not to mention that a gust of wind blew away that day, blowing to death.

The old man must be interesting to that cuckoo. gave money to others, killed people to save Nizi, and settled the two of them in their own mansions.

Who believes that it doesn't mean that?

But his old face may feel unbearable. The older generation of intellectuals are like this, they are thin-skinned and take care of a lot, and they have to be pushed forward.

Zhu Wu decided to push the old man.

The old man is old and sick. If you don't push it again, I'm afraid you'll really be left alone.

If one day, the old man left without leaving anything, Zhu Wu might go crazy. But if there is some blood left, it is Zhu Wu's relatives.

True loved ones!

In the shipyard, there are ping-pong pong, and on the huge sea-going warships are one tiny craftsman after another.

Human ingenuity is infinite, they are one of the smallest creatures in nature, but their great creativity can always conquer nature.

Old man Xi took the drawings and listened to a few craftsmen on the side, explaining the progress of the construction and the supply of materials, which was quite a bit of a senior engineer in later generations.

"While rushing the construction period, we must also ensure the quality!" Old man Xi's face was solemn, "If there is a problem at sea, it is not as simple as punishing Yulu." Our big man, something went wrong with the ordnance, and the family is unlucky! ”

The leader of the shipbuilders hurriedly patted his chest to ensure that the quality would be passable.

Old man Xi nodded, and took the people around him to the next workshop.

On the shipbuilding side, there is a loud noise, and on this side there is a magma-like heat, and the sound is also very harsh, melting molten iron without any impurities, poured into the abrasive, and the heat emitted seems to be able to roast people.

Rows of formed barrels, craftsmen work hard to polish, and in the finished area, more advanced craftsmen are strictly inspecting the freshly cast cannons one by one.

Draw a tick of cinnabar on the body of the qualified gun, and draw a cross directly if it is unqualified, and it is accompanied by the scolding of the inspectors.

"Real people!" When I saw Old Man Xi, the steward of the artillery workshop, he hurriedly came over.

Old man Xi put his hands behind his back, quite stylish, "How is the finished product?" ”

"This ......" several stewards glanced at each other, and one of them said stubbornly, "There are still seventy percent of artillery under thirty catties, and the yield of artillery above thirty catties is only fifty percent!" ”

As he spoke, he was afraid that Old Man Xi would be annoyed, so he hurriedly added, "I'll let them go back to the furnace and re-cast!" ”

"Don't do it, it's time-consuming and labor-intensive to re-boil!" Old man Xi thought about it, "The unqualified ones are put in a separate warehouse." ”

The stewards were puzzled, but they did not dare to say more.

Under Zhu Wu's rule, there was a main reason why the craftsman workshop could develop so rapidly, there was coal in Huaibei, and iron ore should be coated.

With the supply of coal and iron, and the smelting process taught by the old man, the artillery workshop was able to produce a steady stream of artillery.

But Rome was not built in a day, and there will always be some defects in artillery. In the past, it was all re-lettered and cast again.

However, for the current craftsman's workshop, the return to the furnace is more labor-intensive and material-intensive, and these defective artillery, Old Man Xi also has other uses.

Selling them, Liu Futong of Henan has always been the buyer of these defective artillery, and when he heard that the Shandong War was imminent, he could also sell it to Zhu Chongba of Shandong.

When the old man Xi was walking and stopping, Xiao Maoxiang came over and said a few words beside the old man, and the old man suddenly changed color.

"How?"

"I heard the old mother in the house say that Nizi was fine a few days ago, but for some reason in the past two days, she said that her stomach hurts, she rolls all over the ground in pain, and her throat is hoarse!"

Cuckoo and Nizi live in the old man's house, although the old man does not go, but when the people there are three or five, they report the living situation of the two of them.

As soon as he heard that Nizi's girl had a stomachache and rolled on the ground, the old man chuckled in his heart.

"Don't have appendicitis!"

If this is really the disease, in this era, it is estimated that only life and death will be painful.

"Go to the Li family's pharmacy and invite that ancestor of their family!" Old man Xi walked out quickly with his hands behind his back, "If you don't come, you will be tied up!" ”

"Hey!" Mao Xiang nodded and wiped the cold sweat off his head.

～～

It has been raining and snowing in the capital these days, and the ground is a little slippery. The old man's carriage quickly ran through the street and stopped in front of the gate of the original auxiliary country's Houfu.

The porter hurriedly ran over to wait for the old man to go down, but before he arrived, the old man jumped down directly, and his skills were a little sharp.

There was no need for anyone to lead the way, the old man walked directly to the backyard, and an old woman came over, and when he saw him, he hurriedly saluted.

"Where's the mother?" The old man asked angrily.

"Back to the real person, in the backyard!" The old mother lowered her head and said.

Old man Xi felt irritable in his heart, "Is Nizi still in pain?" ”

The old mother was stunned, and she fell into the eyes of the old man at a loss, which suddenly made him a little angry.

"I told you to serve well, that's how you serve?" The old man walked forward angrily, "If I don't live here, you won't be satisfied!" ”

The old man was seldom angry, and suddenly he lost his temper with displeasure, which made the servants in the courtyard tremble and flash to the side.

When Zhu Wu gave him this mansion land, he even brought dozens of servants inside to him.

When he heard that Nizi was sick, and she was very sick, the old man was upset and blamed these servants as well.

But as soon as he walked to the backyard, the old man was stunned, holding a small broom in the yard, and the girl who swept the floor at once, was it not Nizi or who?

"Didn't you say sick? Didn't you say it hurt so much that you rolled on the floor? ”

When the old man was a little stunned, Nizi also saw the old man. As soon as the broom was thrown, the little man pounced and shouted sweetly, "Grandpa! ”

The villain entered his arms, and all the doubts and anger in his heart disappeared in an instant. Men are like this, they can't see coquettishness, and they can't see the women and children they like coquettish.

"Didn't you say you're sick?" Old man Xi hugged Nizi and said with a smile, "Are you sick or not?" As he spoke, he looked at Nizi's hands that were red from cold because of snow clearing, and said distressedly, "Ah, my little hands are frozen red, there are others doing these jobs, what are you doing?" ”

"Huh!" Nizi laughed like a silver bell, "How boring it is to stay without working, I eat and sleep every day, sleep and eat, and I am fat!" ”

The old man slowly turned his round and shiny face and smiled, "It's good to be fat, it's good to be fat!" As he spoke, he took a closer look and asked uneasily, "Are you really sick?" ”

"No, it was my mother who asked me to pretend to be on the ground!" Nizi put her arms around the old man's neck and said in his ear, "My mother said, you don't come when you are old, don't you remember our mother, let me pretend to be sick and try." Hehe, I know that you feel sorry for me, and I will definitely be able to come! ”

If someone else deceives the old man, the old man will definitely make him regret coming into the world. But at this moment, the soft and glutinous voice sounded in his ears, and the old man's hard heart was melted.

The old face was full of smiles, and wrinkles bloomed like flowers in an instant.

The old man happily sat on the stone bench in the courtyard with Nizi in his arms, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a smiling woman standing at the door of the main house in the backyard.

It's that tofu Shih Tzu, cuckoo.

Looking at each other, the old man was suddenly a little embarrassed, and quickly looked away. The cuckoo was also a little shy, but then, the boldness and pungency in his temperament came out, and he looked directly at the old man again.

Du ..... Cuckoo! The other party's hot gaze evoked some memories of the old man, and also made the old man a little unsure of what to say.

This is also the reason why scumbags are often able to please women, because after being single for a long time, men don't talk to women very often.

"Put us here, and you're gone." The cuckoo walked over and said with some resentment, "It's been many days since I left!" I know that you are a nobleman, and you saved our mother, but what is the matter with such uncertainty? ”

The cuckoo's bold eyes made the old man panic, and he said with a sneering belly, "What's not clear, didn't you say that you should live here?" ”

"For no reason, why should I receive such a great kindness from you." Cuckoo continued, "You saved my mother, and I haven't repaid it yet, how can I receive such a favor from you again!" We are poor, and we are uncomfortable living in your yard.

Nizi said that I missed you, so I just thought of such a trick to trick you into coming. Now that Niko is looking at you, I'm talking too. We can't live in this yard anymore, we live here unclear and unclear, and others gossip! ”

"What gossip?" The old man was anxious, "Who dares to gossip?" Where are you two going if you don't live here? Go back to selling tofu? Still sleeping in the open and having no fixed place? You're living here! ”

Du Juan pouted, "I also know that a woman's family knows that the name is not right!" If you want us to live, you have to give us a name, so that we can rest easy! ”

Title?

The old man panicked, a little nervous for no reason, and a little happy. Just as Nizi's little hand tugged at his beard, the old man shuddered and blurted out.

"What do you want?"

Du Juan was a little shy, not daring to look at the old man, "Since you like Nizi so much, otherwise.... Otherwise...."

Say it! Say it!

The old man looked forward to it.

"Otherwise, you think I'm a daughter, Nizi is your granddaughter!"

Move to a new house these days.

I'm so tired!
