Chapter 372: Lunch Break

As if seeing Xia Zhiran's embarrassment, Jiang Ruanyan walked to her side intimately and asked in a whisper in her ear, "Do you usually have the habit of taking a nap?" ”

Xia Zhiran didn't wait to see Jiang Ruanyan on weekdays, but now Jiang Ruanyan became the only life-saving straw she had in this room.

No matter how reluctant I was, I had to ask her for help.

Helpless, Xia Zhiran could only nod at her.

"Me too, but since I had to take a nap since I had to manage the work here." Jiang Ruanyan sighed as he spoke.

"Most of these victims work all day and go home at night to rest, so I have to be there during the lunch break, otherwise it will be easy to get into trouble."

Jiang Ruanyan's eyes glared hard as he spoke, and Xia Zhiran was startled when he looked at it.

"Miss Jiang should be joking with me, these villagers look very simple, there shouldn't be anything serious, right?"

In fact, what Xia Zhiran was thinking in his heart was that these victims looked like ordinary people, with their little brains, what could happen?

Jiang Ruanyan shook his head, "Miss Xia doesn't know, this disaster is serious, and there is more than one village affected, among them are from the same village, and some are from different villages. ”

After Jiang Ruanyan finished speaking, he fell silent, his expression became more and more serious, and Xia Zhiran couldn't help but worry in his heart.

"These victims used to be in the village, working for their own livelihood, everyone was busy cultivating their own land, but if there was a piece of their own land missing, they would use hoes and fight with others."

Hearing Jiang Ruanyan say this, Xia Zhiran was scared, although she had never encountered a fight, but it did sound like something that those lowly villagers could do.

"At the beginning, I also thought that there should be nothing to do, so I handed it over to the people below to manage, but the victims saw that the people below were white-faced scholars, and they felt that it was easy to bully, so they didn't listen to persuasion." Jiang Ruanyan pretended to be reminiscing.

"As a result, one day at noon, one of them was not careful, and they fought, you know, in this village, they have a habit of calling each other brothers."

Jiang Ruanyan seems to have become a storyteller, but what she said is real and scary.

For Xia Zhiran, this is far away from her, but it can be imagined.

Jiang Ruanyan saw that Xia Zhiran was starting to be afraid, so he became even more energetic, and even added action.

"They call each other brothers and sisters on weekdays, and it doesn't matter if they eat, drink and have fun together, but when it comes to fighting, as long as a villager shouts, the people in the same village will immediately feel that their compatriots have been bullied, and they will immediately stand up and help him take revenge."

"It's good that there was no fight that day, otherwise one hundred and eighty strong men who cultivated the land stood together, and if there was a fight, I am afraid that the government would not be able to suppress it." At this time, Jiang Ruanyan still looked palpitating.

"Fortunately, I arrived in time that time, and it didn't cause a large-scale group fight, but a few people fought, and one of them was seriously injured, and now his leg is useless."

Xia Zhiran didn't listen to the latter words, she only heard the previous sentence, "One hundred and eighty strong men who cultivate the land", she is a weak woman, how did she fall into such a situation?

"So what now?" Xia Zhiran looked at Jiang Ruanyan next to her almost pleadingly, as if now as long as she sleeps, someone will make trouble.

Jiang Ruanyan is a manager, but she is not. But what if those people think that she is richly dressed, they will also treat her as a manager?

If there is a fight at that time, they will all come to her, how will she be?

Seeing Xia Zhiran's appearance, Jiang Ruanyan understood that her goal had been achieved. She immediately came out of the terrifying atmosphere just now and looked at her with a smile.

"It's okay, that's all in the past, and now everyone gets along very well, but they still don't have the habit of napping, so we also have to work at noon."

When Xia Zhiran heard this, he didn't dare to cry out anymore, as long as he could save his life, it would be nothing to sacrifice a nap.

"But don't worry, I know you have a habit of taking a nap, so I specially prepared this for you."

Jiang Ruanyan got up as he spoke, walked to a corner of the room, and pulled off the cloth covering it, and there was a lot of cotton and cloth under the cloth.

Underneath the cotton fabric is a simple wooden bed supported by a wide plank and two benches.

Jiang Ruanyan introduced while moving the materials to the ground, "I remember, there is a temporary bed here, and everyone didn't take a lunch break before, so I used it to put the materials, if you want to rest, you can rest here for a while." ”

She patted the simple wooden bed, and a lot of dust rose from it.

and that loud voice, which made Xia Zhiran's heart tremble, can you really sleep in such a bed?

"No, no, I'll just work like everyone else." Xia Zhiran hurriedly refused.

"It's okay, it's your personal habit, people won't say anything." Jiang Ruanyan said and stepped forward to pull Xia Zhiran, leaned close to her ear, and whispered.

"And everyone is really easy to get sleepy in the afternoon, these big ladies will doze off after a while, they just don't go home to sleep, in fact, they will take a nap or something, so you rest here, they won't blame you."

Although Jiang Ruanyan said this, Xia Zhiran was also very sleepy, but how could she dare to sleep?

The thought that there might be a fight outside, and that there were so many strange ladies in the house, if she really fell asleep, she would have nightmares at that time.

Xia Zhiran hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, since I said that I would come to help the victims do things, then I can't just say that everyone will not rest, then I will not rest." ”

After she finished speaking, she picked up the side again, embroidering half of the sleeves.

Seeing that she insisted on doing it, Jiang Ruanyan pretended to sigh, "Okay, since you insist, then I can only rely on you." ”

In fact, Jiang Ruanyan at this time was secretly snickering in her heart, this was what Xia Zhiran said herself, she didn't force her.

Indeed, as Jiang Ruanyan said, everyone is prone to sleepiness and napping in the afternoon, and these ladies sitting in front of Xia Zhiran began to sway when embroidering, not to mention Xia Zhiran, the eldest lady who has the habit of napping on weekdays.

After embroidering several times, her eyelids began to fight, and she closed her eyes involuntarily, until a needle accidentally pierced into the flesh, and Xia Zhiran woke up instantly.

The pain, and the worry about the outside world, made her wake up with a pounding heartbeat, and this feeling lasted until the afternoon, which was simply tormenting for her.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Jiang Ruanyan to take her out of the embroidery room.

"It's late to eat on the construction site, thinking of Miss Xia's rules in your family, if you send you back after eating, I'm afraid the people in the family will be worried, so I'll take you out in advance."

Xia Zhiran was walking on the road, and when he heard what Jiang Ruanyan said, he was so grateful that tears were about to come out.

At this time, from a distance, she saw her servants hurrying towards this side, and she was immediately angry.

Jiang Ruanyan smiled when he saw them, "Miss Xia, I really want to thank you this time, not only have you made such a great effort, but these genealogies you brought are also very good, and he has helped us do a lot of things." ”

When Xia Zhiran heard this, she could only suppress her anger temporarily, on the construction site, she must not expose a trace of unhappiness, "It's good to be able to help." ”

The two of them walked until they reached the door of the construction site, and just as Xia Zhiran turned around and was about to get into the carriage, they heard the sound of a group of children playing in the distance.

In an instant, he saw that the group of children had already run to the two of them from a distance, and Xia Zhiran had to stop again.

"Sister fairy, are you sent by the gods to help us?" One of the children asked, tilting his head.

Although he was also in tattered clothes and his face was dirty, since he asked such a question, Xia Zhiran was naturally happy in his heart, "I'm not." ”

"But sister, you are so beautiful, how can you not be a fairy?" A little girl with two pigtails next to her asked again.

"She, she is the eldest lady of the Xia family, Xia Zhiran, when you grow up, you must always remember Miss Xia." Jiang Ruanyan helped introduce it on the side.

"Well, we'll all remember."

The leading stone nodded vigorously, and then he turned his gaze to Xia Zhiran next to him, "But we still think that this sister is as beautiful as a fairy, can I call you fairy sister?" ”

Xia Zhiran was a little shy at this question, Jiang Ruanyan walked forward with a smile and scratched the nose of the stone, "Look at your little mouth and sweetness, I run to the construction site every day, why don't you call me fairy sister?" ”

This compliment made Xia Zhiran feel that all that he had done today was worth it.

Jiang Ruanyan ran to the construction site every day, but she didn't see these children like her so much, she had only been here for a day, and the little children who showed up chased after her and called her fairy sister, it was really worth it.

She bent down and replied to Stone in what she thought was a sweet voice, "Of course. ”

Looking at the innocent smiles of this group of children, Xia Zhiran was very happy, but she bent down and didn't see Jiang Ruanyan who was trying to hold back a smile behind her.

"Sister fairy, will you come again tomorrow?" Stone then asked.

Xia Zhiran was stunned for a moment, she really didn't want to come to this place again, but now that she saw that these children had already asked, and she hadn't thought of a good excuse yet.

She could only endure it, swallowed her saliva, and tried to say calmly, "I'll come back tomorrow." ”

After she finished answering, the stone jumped up, "Oh, great, great, sister fairy will come tomorrow, we have a fairy here." ”

With his cheer, the children behind him jumped up, and as soon as he jumped, the children fell into the puddle, and the splashes all fell on Xia Zhiran's dress.

This is not the end, just when Xia Zhiran stared at the hem of his skirt and didn't know whether to get angry or not, the jumping stones, one of them did not step steadily, his body was crooked, and he was about to fall, Xia Zhiran subconsciously retreated.

Fortunately, Jiang Ruanyan reacted quickly and rushed out to catch him as soon as possible, but the moment the action stopped, everyone was stunned.

Because the other dirty little hand of the stone wanted to grab the surrounding things out of instinct just now, but accidentally happened to pass Xia Zhiran's skirt,

At this time, in the middle of her skirt, there was already a small hand, scratched by mud.
