Chapter 19 A poem
Seeing that the hour was about to pass, in the courtyard outside the warehouse, the fifty or sixty long-term workers were all gearing up to sow seeds in the fields. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
However, what gave Wang Bin a bit of a headache was that Liu Dazhuang, who was standing in front of him, who had been playing with him since he was a child, refused his request, so to put it mildly, this guy still couldn't get in the oil and salt, so he was out of line for a while.
After calming down his anxious mood, Wang Bin felt that if he wanted to instruct the guy in front of him to be obedient, he had to hit the nail on the head, and in his remaining memory, Liu Dazhuang's biggest human weakness was that he liked to take advantage of others like his father Liu Butcher.
After thinking of this, Wang Bin frowned, and he decided to start with Liu Dazhuang's salary and a bucket of grain after the promise was completed.
After deliberately clearing his throat, Wang Bin put on a helpless expression, spread his hands, and said in a tone that was neither salty nor light: "Brother Da Zhuang, for the sake of you and me, we have been playing together since childhood, and I am here to give you a thorough explanation." Previously, the Liu family's dumb housekeeper, this guy was dumbfounded, and nine times out of ten, he didn't convey Miss Yu'er's words to you clearly. You must have thought that as long as you participated in the Liu family's sowing work, they would give you the money to start work, and give you an extra bucket of grain.
"Actually, no, now, on behalf of Miss Yu'er, I will convey to you the original meaning, which is to let Da Zhuang take the lead in pulling the seeder in front today, if you bring this head well, then not only will you be paid the same salary as the old long-term worker as usual, but also give you an extra bucket of grain. But if you don't take this head well, then you won't be allowed to participate in the sowing work of the Liu family's farmland today, and the translation of the salary will not be given, and the grain will naturally not be delivered.
"This is Miss Yu'er's original words, if you don't believe it, you can go out and ask Miss Yu'er, you have to think clearly, is it important to take the lead in pulling the seeder, or is it important to pay and that bucket of food, you yourself weigh it in your heart."
When Wang Bin, who was clever and eloquent, said this, he deliberately glanced at Liu Dazhuang, who was standing two steps away in front of him, and immediately became moved from his angry appearance, seeing this scene, Wang Bin felt that the next thing would be much easier.
Next, Wang Bin said in an urging tone: "Okay, the time is almost up, and the fifty or sixty long-term workers outside are still waiting in the courtyard." Brother Da Zhuang, do you have this head or not, give me a happy word to my brother, I really am not embarrassing you, it doesn't matter if you don't agree. ”
Liu Dazhuang, who had been forced to a dead end, secretly weighed the pros and cons of his unbearable face with the salary and a bucket of grain, stomped his feet, and was ruthless, feeling that he would be out of the way today, and he must earn his wages and take a bucket of grain home, nodded slightly at Wang Bin, who was standing opposite him, put on an indifferent look, patted his chest and swore solemnly: "Okay, I'll do this job next." Isn't it just to take the lead in pulling the seeder, what's so difficult about this, my brother is out of the way today, I Liu Dazhuang can't get along with anyone, and I won't get along with money and food. ”
Wang Bin, who was waiting for good news, heard that Liu Dazhuang finally agreed under his coercion and temptation, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward, stretched out a hand and put it on Liu Dazhuang's shoulder, and became a brother and brother again, and said with a smile: "I know, you kid can't give up this day's salary and that bucket of food, go, the big guys are waiting in the courtyard outside, let's go over together, and beckon the big guys to work in the field." ”
Wang Bin, who had just come forward, took two or three steps forward by his shoulder, Liu Dazhuang suddenly thought of something, and immediately stopped, hit Wang Bin's hand on his shoulder, turned his face sideways, stared at Wang Bin intently, and threatened suspiciously: "Fool, why did you kid have a serious illness, and even I have fallen into your way, I said how can you beg me for nothing."
"You tell me honestly, do you want to be the same as the last time, this seeder can be pulled up calmly, I am afraid that other long-term workers will not do it, so you let me be the first to pull. I can tell you, stupid, if you kid don't confess honestly, I Liu Dazhuang won't treat you as a brother in the future, if you dare to cheat me, I will break off your friendship with you kid immediately. ”
For Liu Dazhuang at this time, he was really afraid of the well rope after being bitten by a snake for ten years.
Looking at Liu Dazhuang's suspicious expression, Wang Bin immediately couldn't help laughing, and said angrily and funny: "Brother Dazhuang, don't worry, I have always regarded you as the best brother, how could I deceive you." It rained so hard today that the soil in this field was already soaked with rain, and it was very easy to pull up the planter. When you get to the farmland, you think I've lied to you, I'll give you all the wages I earn today. ”
After getting Wang Bin's assurance, Liu Dazhuang, who had already suffered a secret loss last time, finally put his mind at ease, followed Wang Bin out of the warehouse where farm tools were stacked, and went to the courtyard outside to a place with the long-term worker who had been waiting for a long time.
This Wang Bin and Liu Dazhuang, although they were stupid and stunned before, but after all, they have played together since they were children, and this small boat of friendship is not something that can be overturned.
The reason why Wang Bin had to let Liu Dazhuang take the lead, as the first to rush to the front to pull the seeder, this is also a way to do it, mainly because of the ancient society at that time, especially in the countryside, the work of pulling farm tools was done by cows, donkeys and mules, and people did not hesitate to do this.
But due to the unexpected situation today, and the cow, donkey and mule pulled the seeder for the first time for fear of not adapting, delaying the construction period, Wang Bin felt that there was enough rain on the ground, and the soil in the farmland had already been wet, and it was effortless to pull the seeder in front of him, so he started the idea of letting his good buddy Liu Dazhuang take the lead.
Under the coercion and temptation, Wang Bin persuaded Liu Dazhuang, and then summed up with Liu Yuer, under Liu Yuer's order, the twenty seeders placed in the farm tool warehouse were carried by two people, and then there were more than a dozen people each carrying a sack of seeds, and they went to the field in a moment's effort.
As soon as they walked to the field, everyone began to look around, waiting for the Liu family's family to bring the cattle used for farm work. However, under the left and right, there was no shadow of the cow, but under Wang Bin's Zhang Luo, Wang Changgui untied a sack and poured the seeds in the sack into the bucket of the seeder, and at the same time, Liu Dazhuang held two thick hemp ropes and tied them firmly to the bottom of the seeder.
Under the guidance of Wang Bin, Liu Dazhuang reluctantly picked up a hemp rope and held the two handles in front of the seeder with both hands, while Wang Bin was holding another hemp rope in his hand, and Wang Changgui was holding a handle behind the seeder with both hands.
At first, Liu Dazhuang was still a little afraid, for fear that he would spend all his strength to pull the seeder like last time, even if Wang Bin, who was thin and didn't have much strength, helped him, he felt that Wang Bin was completely negligible.
However, when Liu Dazhuang held the two handlebars with both hands in front of him and pulled them forward, he felt really the same as what Wang Bin said in the farm tool warehouse, it was very relaxed, and it didn't take much effort for him.
Since he felt that pulling the seeder was effortless, Liu Dazhuang was naturally full of energy, and felt that Wang Bin, who was helping him pull another rope on the side, was a little in the way, so he reciprocated and sent Wang Bin away.
Wang Bin, who walked to the ground, first squeezed his eyebrows at Liu Yu'er, who was happy, and glanced at Liu Yu'er a few times, Liu Yu'er's cheeks turned red, and he lowered his head in shame.
After taking his eyes off Liu Yuer, Wang Bin said to the fifty or sixty long-term workers who were staying on the ground, this time there is no need for oxen to pull, people need to pull in front, one person in front, one person in the back, two people take turns to partner, if anyone is willing to do this work, they will be given double wages.
Naturally, Wang Bin couldn't be a home, he had agreed with Liu Yu'er before, and he originally wanted Liu Yu'er to announce it, but when he saw Liu Yu'er blushing and bowing his head at this time, he took it upon himself to act on his behalf and read out this important decision for Liu Yu'er.
The long-term workers who stood on the low head saw Liu Dazhuang and Wang Changgui doing very energetically, and they had been at home for two or three days, and they had long wanted to try it, but when they thought that this work of pulling farm tools in front of them was pulled by the Liu family's cattle before, and now they can't hang it on the side of the front pull.
Some apprehensive long-term workers, after hearing Wang Bin announce that they can get double wages for this work, they immediately had no scruples, and hurriedly drew a scoop with a gourd under the guidance of Wang Bin, like Liu Dazhuang and Wang Changgui, one pulled in front and the other pushed in the back, and immediately started to work in full swing.
Sure enough, two days later, more than 700 acres of fertile land in the south of the village were planted in spring.
Since he had completed the task of gambling with Liu Yuer, Wang Changgui got a job as a deacon in Liu's house as he wished, and in view of his expertise, he sent Wang Changgui to take full charge of the management of the village Nantou Agricultural Hospital.
Not only that, Liu Yuer also fulfilled her promise to Wang Changgui and asked Wang Bin to go to their house to be the companion of his second brother Liu Gong. Anyway, Wang Bin felt that the private school in the village might not be able to go to it, so he had to agree to go to Liu's house in the east of the village to accompany Liu Gong, who was even more uneducated than the group of goods in the private school.
On the first day of the study, just after the hour, in a study room specially used to let Liu Gong study, the teacher invited from the county town, named Zhao Shuhai, is a white-bearded down-and-out talent, I don't know if it is to welcome Wang Bin's arrival, he deliberately came up with a poem topic, let one of his students Liu Gong and a companion Wang Bin The two of them take the project in their minds as the theme, each time is limited to one hour, and then swaggered out of the study to a pavilion not far outside to drink tea.
Seeing that Mr. Jiaoshu was gone, Liu Gong heard a lot of praise for Wang Bin from his sister Liu Yuer in the past two or three days, what whimsical ideas, what recitation of ancient texts, anyway, there is no shortcoming.
Today, after Liu Gong saw Wang Bin, the real person, he looked four or five years younger than him, and felt that he couldn't write any poems anyway, so he might as well let Wang Bin accompany him to do it for him, so he first took a soft one, looked at Wang Bin who was sitting next to him with begging eyes, and begged: "Fool, oh no, Brother Wang Bin, I beg you here, I can't write this poem at all, you are specially invited by my sister to accompany the reading, you must help me with this favor." ”
Wang Bin, who was sitting at the table next to him, was not afraid of Liu Gong's identity as the second young master of the Liu family, and said without changing his face: "It's not impossible to help you find a favor, anyway, your sister Miss Yu'er has already troubled me many times." However, if you don't give me any benefit, I'm only responsible for accompaniment, not ghostwriting. ”
Hearing Wang Bin say this, Liu Gong felt that there was a play, so he immediately took out a five-tael silver ingot from the cuff on the left side, snapped, put it on the table in front of Wang Bin, smiled, and said: "Brother Wang Bin, you see, if you write a poem for my brother according to the requirements of Mr. Zhao's topic, this two pieces of silver are yours, how about it, brother, I will be generous enough." ”
After putting away the silver ingots of five taels, Wang Bin was very happy in his heart, but he said: "What, second son, only this once, only this once, there can be no next time, in case Liu Yuanwai and your sister Miss Yu'er know that I ghostwrite, I can't do this accompaniment." ”
After seeing Wang Bin accept the silver, Liu Gong immediately said with a smile on the side: "Only this once, only this time, hehe, there is Brother Lao Wangbin." ”
As the saying goes: take people's money and eliminate disasters for people!
No, after accepting the money, Wang Bin thought for a moment, and said to Liu Gong, who was looking forward to it: "That's it, second son, I'll read you to write it." The title of this poem is called Yonghuai Chu Overlord, and the content of the poem is four sentences, you can remember it. Life is a hero, and death is also a ghost. So far, I think of Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong. ”
As soon as Wang Bin's words fell, Liu Gong also finished writing the poem, and the two looked at each other and smiled, and high-fived each other for no reason.
An hour of hard work passed quickly, after the teacher Zhao Shuhai walked into the study, he picked up the rice paper on the desk in front of Liu Gong, read it silently four or five times but still couldn't put it down, nodded with satisfaction, and praised it as a good poem, even if it was not inferior to the poems given by the current literary masters.
When Zhao Shuhai walked to Wang Bin's desk, picked up the rice paper from the desk, and looked at the so-called poems written on it, but it was the first time in his life that he had seen such a wonderful way of writing, which immediately made him frown, not knowing how to judge it.
I saw that the content of the text on the rice paper written by Wang Bin was a modern poem:
When man is alive,
Aspire to be an outstanding person!
When a man dies,
I still want to be a big hero among ghosts.
Ah, King Chu, you are a master
How we miss you!
Ah, King Chu, you are a hero
How we long to walk into your mulberry
That piece of Jiangdong land with outstanding people!
