Before the sun completely set, all the helpers came to the gate of Fang Jing's house, waiting for the payment of this half month's salary, a large group of people, some talking and laughing, the village and a few village elders also came to help.

"Everyone, everyone, be quiet, be quiet." The village stood outside the courtyard and shouted to the helpers.

"After a while, ten people and ten people go into the yard, Jing Wazi will pay you as much as possible, don't mess up, don't make noise, pay the money, count it clearly in the yard, there is no problem, and then leave the yard, so that it is convenient for those who have not received the salary to enter the yard, okay, let's start paying the salary, let's go to ten people first." Muramasa shouted loudly, hoping to try not to mess up.

Fortunately, the path outside Fang Jing's courtyard is long enough, and the land is big enough for this large group of people to stand there and wait in line, otherwise, they can only go to the big banyan tree to pay their wages, but Fang Jing is a lazy person, and he can do things at home, and he will never run out, so he chooses to pay his wages at home.

The salary was distributed smoothly, at least no mistakes were found, and no one was found to have an opinion, except for the four foremen, the wages were basically the same, and the other foreman was elected by the village, after all, the matter of building a school was left to a professional person to handle.

The helpers received their hard-earned money for half a month, standing happily outside the hospital, talking and laughing, this said that they would tear some cloth for their children to make new clothes, the other said that they would save it to give their daughter-in-law a fork, and some said that they would save some copper coins and buy enough food, so that the family could spend the days when there was no food in the family.

"Everyone's wages have been received, this is half a month's salary, I will pay my wages here every half a month, you can save it first, or give it to your relatives' family to keep, and at the end of the month, you can also ask someone to bring it back, or you can continue to save it, all with you." After Fang Jing came to the outside of the courtyard, he shouted loudly at this large group of people.

"Okay, if you don't have anything to do, you can go back, if you have anything, you can find me or Muramasa, about the work, you just listen to the foremen, I basically don't ask, you are craftsmen who do these things, I don't understand, okay, everyone please go back, it's getting dark." After Fang Jing finished speaking, he also turned around and went back to the courtyard, and the helpers began to go to their relatives one after another.

After Fang Jing returned to the courtyard, he continued to sit on the chair and discuss things with Muramasa and them, after all, the construction of the academy could not be delayed any longer, it was time to speed up.

"Jing Wazi, when will the cement you said arrive? I've been staring at the school these days, and I've seen that half a month has passed. Mura Zheng asked eagerly towards Fang Jing.

"Muramasa, I'll go to the county seat tomorrow to see if it's supposed to be almost there, and I'll go to greet it, and besides, I'm going to send Aunt Hua's husband's bones over, I've been so busy that I almost forgot about it." Fang Jing didn't dare to say that the cement was asked for by the dumb fairy herself, so she had to make up an excuse and say that she bought it from Hu Shang.

"Yes, yes, your Aunt Hua's bones should indeed be sent over, I almost forgot about it, this is a big deal, I promised people, I have to get this thing done, Jing Wazi, you set off early tomorrow morning, and it will save people from worrying about it all the time." Mura Zheng patted his head, exclaiming that he was busy with the affairs of the school, and he had forgotten all the business of others, and told Fang Jing to do this as soon as possible.

After the washing, he held a wooden box from the bamboo house, ready to go to the county seat, and yesterday he had discussed with his family, and today he was going to the county seat and sent the bones of Huang Meihua's husband home, so he stopped saying hello to his family in the morning, and left home directly to the county seat.

When Fang Jing passed by the big banyan tree, he found that there were already people at the school construction site, looking at these helpers, they had already gotten up early in the morning to start working, and sighed in their hearts, or the people of this era are real, there is nothing to steal and cheat, maybe because of poverty, or maybe because of the high salary, in short, in Fang Jing's eyes, these helpers are good men.

When Fang Jing came to the gate of the county seat, he found that the gate of the county town had not yet opened, Fang Jing had a headache, this was early, and it was also a troublesome matter, in this Tang Dynasty era, it was not like Fang Jing's previous life, a city was connected by various transportation routes, and he wanted to close the city? Then you have to send many people to be able to close the city, but if this is placed at this time, close the gates of the four directions of a county seat, hehe, do you want to leave? There are no doors.

According to Tang Liudian, the opening and closing times of the inner and outer gates of Chang'an City are different, the Chang'an City Gate is relatively late, while the Imperial City and the Palace City are earlier, and the opening and closing times of the Lifang Gate are also different, after all, the ministers also travel and the court, and the natural time is different.

The gate time of other states and counties is determined according to the opening and closing of the gate of Chang'an City, but it will not be exactly the same, after all, the emperor is far away, and it is impossible to be exactly the same, and it is done by people, and the time will naturally change, and the opening of the city gate will have the corresponding personnel jurisdiction, records, and officials at all levels will check from time to time.

At this time, when Fang Jing came to the city gate at this time, the time was only five or six o'clock in the morning, and it was relatively only dawn, but at the city gate, there were some people waiting in line for the city gate to open.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, the gate of the county town was finally opened, but Fang Jing didn't want to pass now, the time was too early, for fear of causing the strangeness of the yellow plum blossom, and in the end, Fang Jing had to stay in the mountains and forests until almost midnight (9 o'clock to 11 o'clock), then he walked out of the mountain forest and walked towards the city gate.

After Fang Jing entered the city, he went to the guest house opened by Aunt Hua, at this time, the shops on both sides of the street were wide open, the inside of the shops, and the outside of the street, were ushered in, so lively, in this era when there was no war, everyone was full of energy to move forward, whether it was an official or a businessman, even the lowest peasant families were looking forward to a new dynasty that would bring them a different life.

Fang Jing walked forward slowly, two quarters of an hour later, came to the door of the guest house opened by Aunt Hua, to be honest, Fang Jing's heart was a little heavy at this time, after all, this was to send back the remains to others, naturally there was not much to be happy about, of course, this was actually a celebratory thing, but for Huang Meihua, a woman, pulling a child, and opening a guest house, maintaining her life, this is already the most difficult of the difficulties.

Fang Jing did not enter the guest house directly, but stood outside the door of the guest house, looking inside the guest house, and did not know whether Huang Meihua was in the guest house, nor did he know whether Wang Jizhi was there, this wooden box was the bones of Wang Jizhi's father Wang Jiezhi, and finally Wang Jizhi had to come and hold it in, Fang Jing did not dare to enter the guest house with the wooden box at will, last night, Mura Zheng told Fang Jing what to do.

Fang Jing had a serious expression on his face, standing quietly in front of the door of the guest house, even the guys in the guest house were a little curious about why Fang Jing was standing outside the door of the guest house with a wooden box, and he didn't come in or leave, although he knew Fang Jing, it was not easy to ask anything, after all, Fang Jing was very familiar with his boss lady, and he had to go to the stove room and say hello to Huang Meihua, who was still busy with his work.

Huang Meihua heard that the guy in the store said that Fang Jing was coming, so she stopped what she was doing and went out of the stove room, but she saw Fang Jing standing outside the door of the guest house with a wooden box, her heart seemed to have been hit hard by a sledgehammer, she already knew what the wooden box Fang Jing was holding was, and why she was standing outside the door of the guest house.

"Husband, husband, husband." Huang Meihua suddenly cried, and walked towards the door of the guest house with difficulty, the guy saw his owner like this, and he had already guessed something in his heart, and hurriedly ran over to help Huang Meihua, a distance of about ten meters, but it seemed to have walked for half a century.

"Husband, husband, I finally waited until you came back, you finally came back." Huang Meihua approached Fang Jing's body, holding the wooden box in Fang Jing's hand, and howling and crying with no scruples, the sound of sadness and crying formed a curtain of heaven with the prosperity of this street, separating the whole world.

Fang Jing stood still, not knowing whether to help the heartbroken Aunt Hua into the guest house, or cry with it, Fang Jing was at a loss, this should have sent Wang Jiezhi home half a month ago, but he dragged it for half a month before he sent it back, unintentionally lost, but it made Huang Meihua wait for half a month, Fang Jing was very upset, but at this time, he couldn't say anything.

It should have been a bustling street, but was awakened by the crying of Huang Meihua, and all the neighbors came out of their homes, wanting to see why the owner of this inn was crying, so sad and sad, could it be that someone bullied her.

"Husband, my husband, why did you come back!" Huang Meihua hugged the wooden box, slumped outside the door of the guest house and cried, no one would help her at this time, let alone comfort her.

At this time, Huang Meihua only needs catharsis, venting the pain in her heart, venting the hurt in her heart, and crying to this unfair God, crying that her fate is so difficult, but how can this God sympathize with this world?

Fang Jing stood stunned, his hands didn't know where to put it, and he didn't know what to do, he could only watch the yellow plum blossom sitting on the ground, even the guy didn't know what to do at this time, both of them looked at each other, and they both hoped that the other party would give a message, but after looking at each other, they both understood that it was best not to do anything at this time.

The onlookers on the street also watched silently, and only a few elderly people wiped the tears on their faces with their hands, perhaps recalling something, or touching the scene.

After a quarter of an hour, Fang Jing couldn't stand it anymore, this person really wanted to cry like this, his eyes couldn't stand it, not to mention a sad person, he would recall many things in the past in his heart, which would make people fall deeper and deeper, and it would be good to stop it appropriately, otherwise, this scene would continue forever.

"Aunt Hua, don't cry, it's a good thing that Uncle Wang is back, you should be happy, and then you have to come and welcome Uncle Wang home, this is a big deal." Fang Jing squatted down and patted Huang Meihua's shoulder, and said softly.

"Husband, you're back, you're finally back, nephew Jing, you're right, I have to go home and call Jizhi to come and see his father, and then, next." Huang Meihua recovered from the sad situation, but she was also a little confused, and after getting up, she ran towards her home, shouting and following as she ran, making the neighbors hurriedly give way.

Fang Jing picked up the wooden box from the ground, gently stroked the dusty place, and blew it, not wanting any dust to stain this man, or his father's friend, who is also a father, until there is no dust on the wooden box, he waited for Wang Jizhi to come over and welcome his father home.

Fang Jing's careful action made these neighbors praise him, and they all had a good impression of the young man in front of him, and even the guys and guests in the guest house were greatly admired.

Maybe such a small action is just a casual small action in the eyes of irrelevant people, or in the eyes of Fang Jing's previous life, but because of such a casual action, it is to let others know that Fang Jing can send back the bones of this Wang Jiezhi, and even caress the dust stained by the wooden box, this is a respect, a respect, and a affection.

Fang Jing just did what she was supposed to do, not to mention that the one lying in this wooden box was his father's comrade-in-arms, and even more so a friend, as a junior, it should be so.
