Chapter 132: Stay
For the village of Yangjia Village, Director Yang thinks more than others, and what he has done to get rid of poverty and become rich and live a fairly rich life is whose credit, drinking water and thinking of the source, after being appointed as the director of the workshop, he is even more grateful, and he is naturally loyal to Pan. //. QĪā¤.CĒM//
Since living a well-off life, Director Yang of course respects the hard days of the past, and it is unbearable to look back, and it is inevitable that he will think crankily under the attention, worried that one day he will suddenly withdraw from the village, then Yangjia Village will not become the same as before, and it is no wonder that Director Yang will think so, the neighboring village used to have a workshop, and for some reason in the first two years, suddenly people went to the empty building, and the things in the workshop disappeared completely.
The situation in the neighboring village is similar to that of Yangjia Village, the workshop is closed, and it is natural to go back to the hard days before, seeing that Yangjia Village is so nourishing, I am very envious and jealous, and I don't know who has an idea, every three or five days I run to Yangjia Village, not to chat and talk, but to come to Pan Sanshui, I want him to move the workshop to his own village, and pat his chest to ensure that as long as he is willing to move, the workshop building will be responsible for their village.
For no reason, of course Pan's would not agree, but Director Yang didn't think so, fortunately the treacherous plan of the neighboring village did not succeed, so he naturally worked harder to manage the affairs of the workshop, but unfortunately the specific things of the workshop were taken care of by Pan Sanshui, and Director Yang could only take care of some of the men's chores for eating and drinking.
The work is so easy, but the treatment is so generous, Director Yang himself also feels a little embarrassed, always looking for an opportunity to show loyalty to Pan's, it is best to get a promise, but Pan's rarely come here, when checking the accounts, he usually sends some trustworthy subordinates to come, or directly asks Pan Sanshui to submit the account book, and Director Yang's wish has never had a chance to be realized.
Now that I heard that Chu Zhen is coming, the proprietor's family, isn't that the young proprietor, Director Yang naturally thinks that the opportunity he wants has finally come, and spares no effort to please Chu Qian, and there are a few times in the middle of the way to show his heart, but he feels that the time is not right, and he wanted to speak when he was in the bamboo forest just now, but unfortunately he was sent away by Chu'er.
Seeing that Chu Zhen was about to leave after completing his inspection, he was secretly anxious, but suddenly heard the good news that Chu Zhen was going to stay overnight, and immediately became excited, afraid that Chu Zhen would change his mind again, so he immediately turned around and ran back to the village, and asked the guy who was driving the car to go back to the city to report the news to Pan.
"Director Yang walks slowly." Chu Zhen raised his voice and laughed lightly, it was really embarrassing for him, such a body type could run so fast.
"Childe, do you really want to stay?" Chu'er bit her red lip lightly, looking ashamed and happy.
"That's natural, Director Yang is running so fast, the donkey cart should have already left, and it's a long way back to the city, even if I regret it now, it's too late." Chu Zhen said with a smile.
"If the son is in a hurry. Despite the walk. Chu'er said softly. Naturally, I understood that Chu Zhen was joking. As he spoke, he laughed too. Under the slanting light of the spring sun. The sun floats on his face. It's like a peony blooming. It's pretty.
Now that it has been decided to stay. It's still early in the day. Chu Zhi simply continued to walk through the bamboo forest. Enjoy the scenery and scenery. Bamboo has one of the four gentlemen of "Meilan Bamboo Chrysanthemum". "Plum Songzhu" is one of the three friends of the year. The bamboo branches are straight. Slender. Slim. Colorful. Verdant at four o'clock. Frost and rain. It is very popular among ancient and modern literati and ink writers.
It's March. Tender green verdant branches and buds are drawn from slender bamboo poles. Tall and beautiful. Colorful. Mix. Let Chu Zhi's attention linger. Before you know it, the sun is setting.
"Childe. It's getting dark. Let's go back to the village. "I was walking on a rugged mountain road at night and suddenly fell. Chu'er hurriedly suggested softly.
"It's fine." Chu Zhen nodded. Turn around and walk outside the embroidery forest. He smiled and said, "Chu'er." Since this is your hometown. Then you are the Lord. I'm a guest. You have to do your best as a landlord. It's up to you to eat and stay tonight. ā
"Childe rest assured. Director Yang must have made arrangements. Chu'er smiled sweetly.
"That's his business, I don't know anyone in it, I only know you, of course I rely on you." Chu Zhen chuckled and said, "Besides, they are already here, no matter what, they have to visit the beautiful and lovely Chu'er's house." ā
"What are you doing at Hatsu'er's house?" Chu'er said softly, as if thinking of something, and a touch of crimson flashed across her beautiful little face.
"It must be extraordinary to be able to breed such a beautiful and beautiful place as Chu'er." Chu Zhen smiled and said, "I definitely want to see it." ā
"Childe is coaxing Chu'er to rejoice again." Chu'er lowered her head shyly, and a bright rouge appeared on her cheeks.
"I'm telling the truth." Chu Zheng spoke with a smile, his eyes revealed a smile, Chu'er hung his head in shame, silent, and his lotus steps were fluttering, extremely light.
"Childe." At this moment, the voice of Director Yang calling in the distance, after a while, I saw him holding a lantern in his hand, trotting all the way, stopping in front of Chu Zhen, and he didn't care about wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead, showing a flattering smile: "The village knows that you stay."
, we have prepared a small banquet of thin wine, please be sure to go. ā
"Director Yang is too polite." Chu Zhen smiled, but he didn't mean to refuse, and he didn't care at all that attending such a banquet would lower his status.
Director Yang was overjoyed, and hurriedly led the way in front, and returned to the mountain village soon after, at this time the sun had set, the bright moon had not yet risen, the sky flashed a few faint bright stars, the mountain village was silent, occasionally heard a few dog barks, the dark and dark environment made people's hearts hairy, if it were not for the dim yellow light emitted by the lantern in Director Yang's hand, and the green lanterns were also lit in the homes of more than a dozen people scattered in the village, I am afraid that Chu Zhen was also a little frightened.
After walking a few dozen steps, I came to a rather wide house, the door of the house was open, and there were lanterns hanging on both sides of the eaves. ā
Chu Zhen didn't push back, walked in directly, stepped into the threshold and came to the front yard, and found that there were already more than ten people waiting in the courtyard, women and children, young and old, a scene of laughter and laughter.
"You haven't come to see the host's son-in-law yet." Seeing this, Director Yang, who came in behind Chu Qian, hurriedly reminded him loudly.
"I've seen the hostage." Director Yang still has some prestige in front of everyone, and everyone in the courtyard hurriedly got up and shouted sparsely, the etiquette is strange, and the bow is not enough, but the expression is not very kind, and there is a little indifference.
Chu Zhen nodded slightly, it was not that he was proud, but that the regulations of the Song Dynasty were like this, after he was admitted to Xiucai, he was famous, he could see officials without kneeling, and he would be rude when he saw people, if Chu Zhen was solemn in return, I am afraid that no one would dare to accept it, and Chu Zhen would also be despised by the literati, thinking that he had lost his identity as a scholar.
"Seniors, please take a seat." A few steps forward, in front of a few gray-haired old men, Chu Zhi smiled with a smile.
If you don't return the gift just now, it is a self-respecting identity, and now it is polite, it seems to be a little inconsistent, in fact, it is very easy to understand, the ancient hierarchy is very strict, equality is only for the same class, Shinong and businessmen, Chu quality is a showman, everyone naturally wants to salute him, that is the rule, if Chu quality rashly returns the gift, it is not understanding the rules.
After the rules, it is human affection, China has the habit of respecting the elderly since ancient times, which is very supportive of both that class, if Chu Zhen does not say hello to a few old people, it is not understanding human feelings.
A few old people naturally pushed up, and at Chu Qian's insistence, they sat down at the banquet with a smile, and everyone in the courtyard saw this situation, and their eyes became friendly when they saw Chu Zhen.
"Please be seated." Director Yang was also a little happy, after all, several old people were uncles and ancestors in the village, if they were disrespectful, wouldn't it be embarrassing to be a junior, after Chu Zhen sat down, the people who sat down also sat down, but the atmosphere was a little restrained, and there was no laughter just now.
Director Yang didn't seem to have any experience in this situation, and he opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't know what to say, and in a hurry, his forehead suddenly sweated, and his face was ruddy, and he looked more and more oily.
"Director Yang, it's time for dinner." The table was empty, there was not even a cup of tea, Chu'er's little face flashed with complicated emotions, glanced at Chu Qian, and saw that there was no displeasure on his face, so he hurriedly reminded quietly.
"That's right, serve meals." Director Yang suddenly realized, and hurriedly shouted: "Three babies, come up with wine and food." ā
Usually there are not so many rules for red and white ceremonies in the village, people are almost here to serve the food directly, there is not too much attention, I heard that the banquet in the city is served after the guests come, Director Yang of course wants to entertain Chu with such a "grand" etiquette, showing his sincerity.
With the shout of Director Yang, I saw a few young men coming out of the back room, holding a tray in their hands, after a bump and bump sound, the dishes were immediately full of dishes on the table, the taste of the mountains and rivers, there are vegetarian, it is not easy to have such dishes in this poor and remote area, and Director Yang said, spring is suitable for eating bamboo shoots, among the dozen dishes on the table, bamboo shoots account for a small half, the dishes are fired well, the color and fragrance are complete, which makes people's appetite move, the fly in the ointment is that the dishes are served in a large porcelain bowl, spoils the image of the whole.
Of course, it's just good, and it can't be compared with the famous chefs in restaurants in Bianliang City.
Just as the food was served, Chu'er quietly approached Director Yang and whispered, Chu Zhen had a faint smile on his face, ignoring it.
"It's our honor to stay in our village.
After Chu'er's guidance, Director Yang's nervousness lightened a lot, and he personally poured a glass of wine for everyone, and then raised his glass to Chu Zhen and said: "We respect the quality of the son of a glass, the wine is thin and affectionate, I hope the quality of the son will not mind." ā
