Chapter Seventy-Eight: Return to Qishan Island

A.D. 963 (the first year of Song Qiande) on the fifth day of the first month

A sea ship slowly approached the pier of Qishan Island. The crew lowered the gangplank, and Du Dalei was the first to jump on top of the trestle. After a while, Zhao Zizhong and Boris also came down.

Du Dalei opened his arms and shouted to his heart's content: "Qishan Island, I, Hu Hansan, are back again!" ”

Cui Xiaoniang, who was helping her mother get off the boat, asked, "Big brother, who is Hu Hansan?" Why did Fourth Brother Du change his name? ”

Zhao Zizhong shook his head helplessly, "Sister, don't pay attention to him." He's not normal, he's just a complete bastard. Hu Hansan is a well-known bully in our hometown, which is not a good thing. ”

Cui Xiaoniang covered her mouth and smiled, Zhao Zizhong stepped forward and said to Cui Daoshu's mother: "Old lady, please take a look at the beach at will, I will arrange the carriage, it is estimated that I will have to wait for a while." ”

Mrs. Cui said with a smile: "Zizhong, I haven't reached the time of old age yet, it's no problem to take a few more steps, and you don't need to take a carriage." Go ahead and get busy, I'm going to take a good look at the scenery. ”

Jiang Wuniang and Shen also took the children off the boat. More than a dozen children have been in the Cui family manor for a few months, and they have long been suffocated. As soon as they got off the boat, they ran happily to the beach next to the pier and made a fuss on the beach.

Shen took a deep breath of the slightly fishy air, looked at the beautiful scenery of the sea and sky, and said to Jiang Wuniang: "This is really a paradise!" I haven't been far away since I was a child, and I rarely go out when I marry into the Cui family. It's so beautiful! ”

Jiang Wuniang was also intoxicated by this scenery, she looked at the children playing, and said with a smile: "Big lady, my whole family was taken captive by the Khitan people to the north since I was a child, and I have been living in exile for more than ten years. This time I've really found a place to stay, and I'll be here for the rest of my life, never to leave. ”

Zhao Zizhong asked Zhai Xiaoshan to go to the camp to inform Cui Zhaorong and ask him to send someone to drive a carriage to pick up people. Zhai Xiaoshan put down his luggage and weapons and quickly ran towards the camp.

At this time, a fishing boat approached the dock, and Du Dalei leaned over and asked the fishermen on the boat loudly, asking them what fresh seafood they had.

A fisherman jumped out of the boat and said a lot to Du Dalei wa-la-wa-la-wah. Du Dalei was confused and could not understand the dialect of the fishermen. A local guard came over and said to Du Dalei: "Mr. Du, he said that he has gained a lot today, but Steward Cui has done everything. Their seafood is only sold to Steward Cui, and they don't sell it at a high price from others. ”

Du Dalei was surprised, "You go and ask him, why is it only sold to Cui Zhaorong, and it is so difficult that we don't sell it at a high price?" ”

The guard asked the fishermen a few words, and came back and said to Du Dalei: "He said, they have taken care of the daily harvest Cui Guan Shi, Cui Guan usually takes care of the fishermen, and the price of each purchase of seafood is not low, so they only sell it to Cui Guan Shi." ”

Du Dalei thought to himself that Cui Zhaorong's Huairou policy is very good and should be vigorously promoted, so that we can win the hearts of the people. He gave the fisherman a thumbs up and praised: "He is a good man!" ”

The guard told Du Dalei what he said to the fishermen, and the fishermen were a little embarrassed, but smiled shyly, and he made a gesture to Du Dalei and returned to the fishing boat. After a while, he came down again, carrying a small bamboo basket with a few fish in it.

He stuffed the bamboo basket into Du Dalei's hand and said a few words to the guards.

The guard translated: "Mr. Du, he will give you a few fish for you to taste." ”

Du Dalei took out some copper coins and gave them to the fishermen, but he said that he didn't want anything, and pushed back vigorously. Du Dalei had no choice but to put away the copper coins.

Everyone walked and chatted on the beach, waited for more than half an hour, and saw a group of people running towards the pier from a distance.

When they got closer, everyone saw that the leader was Cui Zhaorong, who was supported by two guards, obviously tired.

Cui Zhaorong slowly moved over, shook off the guard's hand, and bowed to Old Madam Cui. With a smile on his face, he said, "Madam, why are you here too?" The houses on the island are still very basic, can you get used to it? ”

Mrs. Cui said gently: "You don't have to be polite, I came this time to relax, I haven't been out for a long time, the conditions almost don't matter, didn't my daughter live for a while?" If she can live, so can I. ”

Cui Zhaorong said respectfully: "Madam, you have to wait for a while, the carriage will arrive later." ”

Old Madam Cui shook her head, "Don't wait, you lead the way in front, and we'll walk." ”

Cui Zhaorong had no choice, so he left some people to entertain the crew, and walked towards the camp with the female dependents. Jiang Wuniang and Shen hurriedly beckoned the children to follow. It took a lot of effort to gather the children who were having fun together, and Du Dalei helped scare a few words, and the children obediently followed Jiang Wuniang.

Zhao Zizhong waited until the carriage came, and arranged for the guards to help carry the luggage and supplies. Then he walked to the camp with Du Dalei and Boris.

Entering the valley, everyone saw that the camp had expanded a lot, and there were dozens of more wooden houses. Walking into the camp, the brothers found that there were very few people in the camp, only a few women were busy.

Cui Zhaorong was busy arranging the accommodation of his daughters and children, and Zhao Zizhong did not bother him. The brothers walked to the school, and it was estimated that Na Zhe would teach there.

Outside the school, the brothers heard the sound of immature reading. Outside a classroom, two people were standing, staring at each other unconvinced.

When everyone saw it, it was Hu Yidao and Cheng Sangou. Du Dalei approached the two boys, looked them up and down, and his mouth was still slurking. Hu Yidao was a little furious when he saw it, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Du Dalei. Cheng Sangou looked at Du Dalei indifferently.

Du Dalei said with a smile: "You two have been punished for standing, because of what?" ”

Cheng Sangou stiffened his neck and didn't speak, and Hu Yidao whispered: "He went to the forest yesterday to dig up a snake and came out, and this morning he scared a few timid classmates, and I fought with him." ”

Du Dalei asked Cheng Sangou: "Sangouzi, is he right?" Have you been wronged? ”

Cheng Sangou said unhappily: "My name is Jackie Chan now, not Cheng Sangou." ”

"Yo he, your kid is a celebrity now, is it okay to mess around with a majestic name? Do you want to go into a small dark room for a few days? ”

Cheng Sangou looked unruly, but he didn't speak. Zhao Zizhong stopped Du Dalei who was about to get angry, "Let's not punish him first, and ask Na Zhe later, what is going on." ”

Du Dalei glared at Cheng Sangou stupidly, shook his fist, and whispered: "Boy, we are not afraid to settle accounts, and the master will slowly concoct you!" ”

Zhao Zizhong gently pushed open the door of the senior classroom, and saw that the children were writing on the small blackboard in front of him, and the room was quiet. At the front of the classroom sat a man who was dozing off in a chair, mouth wide open and drooling.

Du Dalei followed and walked over to see that it was Na Zhe sleeping. He was amused, picked up a small twig from the ground, and approached Nazhe. He gently teased the tip of the twig at Na Zhe's nostrils.

Na Zhe's face twitched a few times and sneezed. The children all laughed, and Na Zhe woke up, looking dazed. When he came back to his senses and saw the three people in front of him clearly, he jumped up excitedly, "Boss, when did you come back?" I miss it! ”

Zhao Zizhong smiled and said, "We just got off the boat, why did you kid fall asleep during class?" I don't look like a teacher at all. ”

Du Dalei said maliciously: "Was you too tired last night?" ”

Boris patted Du Dalei, "You pay attention, don't talk nonsense, this is the classroom." ”

Na Zhe was a little embarrassed, and pushed the three of them out, "Let's go out and say, don't affect the children's learning." ”

The children in the classroom were all dazed, not knowing what they were talking about.

Na Zhe took the three of them into the office, poured water for them and asked, "Why have you been around for so long, are things going well?" ”

Zhao Zizhong sat down, "Things are going well, wait for a while when the main backbone personnel are all here, I'll report the situation." What is Lao Wei doing now? ”

"He has a busy day, building a kiln every day, burning charcoal, striking iron, and managing the * and bow and crossbow workshops, and he is tired and thin."

Zhao Zi nodded emphatically, "It's hard enough, let's come back and try to share some of Lao Wei's work, don't tire him down." By the way, how's it going in the school? ”

Na Zhe sighed, "Hey, Cui Xiaoniang is gone, no one teaches her class, Fang Juniang and I are running at both ends, and we are very busy." ”

Du Dalei said with a smile: "You don't have to worry now, Cui Xiaoniang is back, Jiang Wuniang is also here with the children, you can be liberated." ”

Na Zhe was very surprised, and jumped up excitedly, "Really? That's great, I finally don't have to be the king of kids! ”

Zhao Zizhong poured cold water on him, "I'm afraid not, if you are not a teacher, then who will teach nature, geography, and mathematics?" Unless you train Jiang Wuniang and Cui Xiaoniang well, you can be laid off. ”

Na Zhe suddenly turned into a deflated eggplant, and said unhappily: "It turns out that Bai is happy, and he has to continue to be a teacher." ”

Du Dalei rolled his eyes and gave Na Zhe an idea, "You can be like this, be a teacher during the day, exercise less at night, teach Fang Juniang more, and train her to be an all-round teacher as soon as possible, won't you be free?" ”

Na Zhe was a little embarrassed and gave Du Dalei a few punches. Du Dalei has rough skin and thick flesh, and that Zhe's fist seems to tickle him, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Du Dalei shouted: "How do you beat people? Don't be in a hurry, don't I have a bad idea? Just your small body, exercise less! Watch out for all the deaths! ”

Zhao Zizhong and Boris laughed, Na Zhe was so angry that he chased Du Da Lei to fight, Du Da Lei didn't care, and laughed at Na Zhe while dodging.
