Chapter 40: Untitled

The only guests in the restaurant were the two of them and the woman, who were far apart, and the two were talking in whispers, not too afraid that others would hear and know. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 It was only then that the woman had an accident and interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Oh, the slave family came out and forgot to bring money, and I have eaten this meal, what should I do?"

Before the words fell, it had already attracted the attention of Dian Xiaoer, Meng Jiucheng and others, and they focused their attention on it.

At this time, Meng Jiucheng took a closer look. The woman was in her thirties, with a dark and ugly face, and she was shaking off her sleeves as if she were looking for money.

The shopkeeper grinned when he heard this, but he still couldn't bear it, and waited patiently for the woman to find the money.

"I really forgot to bring money, I was offended, and I will make up for it next time." The woman didn't find the money, so she got up and left.

"In the blue sky and white day, how can there be a meal without paying?" The shopkeeper was in a hurry, stopped the woman, and shouted, "You said that you will pay back the money next time, who will recognize you?" ”

"The slave family really forgot to bring money, how much is this meal worth, how can it rely on you?" The woman, however, was very calm, and smiled and argued.

"No money--" The shopkeeper looked around, stretched out his hand and pointed to the donkey tied outside, and said, "Then send the donkey first, and then ride the donkey away when you get the money back." ”

"The distance is not close, there is no donkey, how can the slave family go?"

"It's okay to ride a donkey, you have to have a separate collateral to be reassuring, right?"

Meng Jiucheng rolled his eyes, Guo Chen was also annoyed by the noise, slapped the table, and said loudly: "Don't make noise and argue." It's just a few pennies, so noisy. How much it should be counted in the account of a certain table. ”

The shopkeeper saw that someone was paying the bill, and he also knew Guo Chen and Meng Jiucheng, so he hurriedly laughed with him, "The priest forgives the sin, the official forgives the sin, the small shop is small and the profit is thin, it is really ......"

Meng Jiucheng smiled and said, "It is a matter of course to pay the bill for dinner. Just look at the lady's condition, but it is not like a cheating meal. As he spoke, he waved his hand to the woman, "This is the case, the lady can do her own thing." ”

The woman did not leave immediately, but came to the table and thanked her, "The two officials are generous, and I wish to hear the name of the high surname, and the slave family will pay it back." ”

Guo Chen said nonchalantly: "A little thing, why worry about it!" You don't have to pay it back, and you don't have to ask for your name. Go, go, don't be noisy. ”

The woman paused, smiled, nodded, and turned away.

After Meng Jiucheng and the others finished eating and drinking, they broke up outside the store, and he and Wang Yiyong returned to the construction site, but saw Qiao E eating and drinking, sitting under the shed outside the supervisor's room, leaning on the pillar, and sleeping soundly.

This guy - Meng Jiucheng grinned, didn't call her, entered the house, took out a pen and paper, brushed a little bit and wrote the charter for the establishment of the women's construction team, and asked Wang Yiyong to post the announcement, and by the way, inform the existing engineering team.

Take out the draft first, it's okay to be sloppy, the main thing is to recruit people. As for the internal assessment and measurement of the construction team, Meng Jiucheng roughly calculated the average amount of each type of work as the standard according to the progress of other construction teams.

This is relatively neat, Meng Jiucheng knew that there were very few literate women among women, so he worked hard and took most of the copywriting work for him. At the same time, Meng Jiucheng also plans to take care of the women's team, such as building a tricycle for them to use first, and the contracted projects are mainly simple and easy to estimate such as digging trenches and transporting earth and stones.

When Wang Yiyong came back from his errands, Qiao E's rammed goods rubbed her sleepy eyes and got up. After eating and drinking enough and getting a good nap, this guy is a good guy today.

"Come here tomorrow morning and arrange work for you." Meng Jiucheng wrote a ticket and gave it to Qiao E, and this little authority is still there.

"Meng Abs, what about today, my work hasn't been finished yet?" Qiao E was really, received the relief ticket, and felt that she had only worked for half a day, and she was still a little uncomfortable.

"Then you go to the carpentry shed, help saw the wood, and then you can go back when you finish work." Meng Jiucheng stretched out his hand and pointed not far away, and said, "I went to find Lao Zhao, and I said that I asked you to go, just to help with the work, and not to take up their relief tickets." ”

Qiao E was there, her lips moving, remembering Meng Jiucheng's words, and then bowing and retiring.

Meng Jiucheng looked at the tall back and walked away, turned around and couldn't help but smile bitterly, beckoned Wang Yiyong over, and told him the words he had written, explaining as he spoke.

Wang Yiyong obeyed his father's orders and has been following Meng Jiucheng recently. Meng Jiucheng not only taught him literacy and arithmetic in his spare time, but also often told him his thoughts and experiences, which made him learn a lot and admired Meng Jiucheng even more.

After Meng Jiucheng finished speaking, he kept thinking about it, and after being speechless for a while, Wang Yiyong opened his mouth and asked, "Are the officials worried about Chen Gongzi?" ”

"A little bit." Meng Jiucheng raised his head and said, "This guy reads a little bit, and he thinks he is a suave scholar. I'm afraid that he will be amorous and make trouble with people and ghosts. ”

"Chen Guanren is timid, he may not dare to get close to ghosts, right?" Wang Yiyong laughed and shook his head in disbelief.

Meng Jiucheng also smiled and said, "I used to think the same way, but if I didn't go back for three days, I was worried that he would be bold." Alas, every man has his own life, and if something happens, it's better not for me to wipe his ass. ”

"Ghosts hurt their bodies, but they won't worry about their lives, right?" Wang Yiyong was relieved: "It's a big deal to take medicine to recuperate, and it will also teach him a lesson." ”

Meng Jiucheng shrugged his shoulders and nodded helplessly, "It's useless to worry, and wait another night." Well, it might be safer to send someone tomorrow to take a look. ”

"Why don't you just let me go!" Wang Yiyong took the initiative to ask Ying, he wanted to go out to have a look, and his expression was excited.

Meng Jiucheng felt that he was still young and not a local, but he didn't want to pour cold water now, so he just vaguely perfunctory, and quickly diverted the topic.

……………

The sky is full of stars and busy, but there is no sound at all, it seems that he just feels that the sky is lively. A comb of the moon is like a description of an unfinished girl, but she is not ashamed to see people.

And Mei'er in front of her was also generous and decent, and described the investigation situation in detail one by one. Chen Hong gradually sat on the side, listening quietly, and the expression on his face changed slightly.

Meng Jiucheng recorded little by little, occasionally raised his head to ask, and then lowered his head again.

It took him a long time to finish the record, and with a long sigh of relief, he put the recorded information together with the piece of paper with the thief's name on it.

"Mrs. Mei has worked hard, thank you very much." Meng Jiucheng arched his hand, the big thing was about to be accomplished, and his mood finally relaxed.

"Engong is polite, the slave family is a big favor, not enough to worry about." Mei'er hurriedly got up and returned the salute.

Meng Jiucheng stretched out his hand to help him, turned his head to look at Chen Hongji, and praised: "Brother Chen has worked hard. I'll just say, it's none other than Brother Chen to do this big thing. ”

"It's all the credit of Mrs. Mei, as well as Ertie." Chen Hong was surprisingly not too proud, so he told the truth, "I waited at the inn, but I didn't do anything. ”
