Chapter 329: The head of the house is not free
Although Mary did not have Pitt's talent for linguistics, she knew several languages: English, French, and now Chinese. Under the influence of the environment, I believe that it will not be long before there is no problem in communicating with people in Mandarin.
And this has also been calculated by Wang Shihua for a long time: after the school starts in September, she will become the first English teacher in Longtang Town Middle School...... She must not be allowed to eat for nothing, live for nothing, and enjoy for nothing...
Returning to Longtang Town at noon, out of courtesy, Wang Shihua personally accompanied the two to return to the residence specially prepared for them: a two-and-a-half-story wooden tile building in Laosi City. The first floor is downstairs, where the people keep their livestock, the lower floor is for eating and guest rooms, and the upper floor is where the owner lives.
The best furniture in the county, the best living utensils, and some things that Mary brought herself, will definitely not wronged them, even Pete looked at Wang Shihua and stretched out his thumb to express his gratitude, grinning. Wang Shihua, who was laughing, rolled his eyes: Three hundred and seventy-five big buffaloes... If you are not satisfied, Lao Tzu should draw a knife and cut people.
"Miss Mary, let you laugh, it's a little ......simpler" Out of politeness, Wang Shihua greeted him with a few modest words, and naturally asked: "If you still need anything, please don't be polite to me." ”
Mary was happy with everything else, but she was a little worried about the toilet: she was worried about the pit at the back of the house.
"Thank you for the arrangement, I am really flattered...... However...... "Speaking of this, I probably couldn't think of how to explain it clearly in Chinese, so I could only say it to Pete in English, which meant: If there is a flush toilet, it would be perfect, if there is no one locally, please send someone from Wuhan to bring it, and I will pay for it."
The bad thing is the last sentence: Mary eloped and didn't have any money with her except jewelry. In other words, this expense has to come from the sheep, how can Pete be willing? Of course, Pete also understands that spending Wang Shihua seven or eight thousand oceans has already made Wang Shihua furious, and if it is stimulated again, it is estimated that Wang Shihua will eat himself alive on the spot.
"Master, Mary said that you took such good care of us that you should not have bothered you any more. But she's new to the city and is new to the area, so I'd like you to buy her two cows if you can. Pete said with a graceful smile to Wang Shihua, who came over...... In other words, as long as there is Mary, Pete will be very personable, and he will never see the depravity of the hooligan who goes to the Emerald Red Courtyard to argue with the old bustard about discrimination.
"You know, we Europeans are used to milk bread. The bread made by Mary was delicious, and the milk alone needed to be fresh, so ...... Of course, if you don't have cows, goat's milk can do. ”
Get... The two cows have to pay for themselves... Wang Shihua nodded with a smile, and scolded the ancestor of Pete's mother-in-law in his heart: Return goat's milk? Are you in confinement or do you want to use it to feed your child?
In the time of famine, everyone is suffering, who still drinks this thing? The meat of the cow is not delicious, and it is wasteful to raise, so the price drop is great, and it belongs to the chicken rib type, and two or three big goats can be exchanged for a cow.
However, when he thought that Mary would have to teach four classes of English by herself in the future, she would definitely be busy to death, and Wang Shihua's heart was much more balanced.
turned around and instructed Ergouzi: "I remember when I was studying, the then county magistrate Tian ran a dairy farm in the county seat, and it should still be running it now." You send a telegram to your second uncle and ask him to buy two cows and send them over before sunset tomorrow. ”
Pete immediately bullied Mary for not being able to handle Chinese: it was too far away for the toilet to be procured for a while, but in order to apologize, the owner of the Wang family would send two cows to Mary to avoid Mary's dissatisfaction.
Mary was pleasantly surprised and exclaimed to Wang Shihua: "Thank you for the merciful head of the family, your generosity will surely be blessed by God..."
Oh, God? No... You should thank the God of Wealth. Wang Shihua was depressed, but he smiled very modestly on his face: "This is as it should be." It's a pleasure to have friends from afar... Miss Mary has come all the way here, and I will be satisfied if I can meet it. ”
After a few more pleasantries, he took his leave.
When leaving, he deliberately swept his eyes.
Pete knew the meaning of this glance, so he was naturally unwilling, but he didn't expect Wang Shihua to walk to the door, and he didn't forget to turn around and make a look, so he had to use the excuse of sending Wang Shihua out to listen to the training.
As soon as he went out, Wang Shihua looked back and saw that Mary had already gone upstairs, grabbed Pete's clothes and pulled them to the door, and said viciously: "Pete, I won't care about the freight and labor costs, but you have to pay for this cow." ”
"This ...... This...... Well, I admit it. It was rare for Pete to be so generous, which made Wang Shihua stunned. But Pete's stinginess was done again, and he added, "However, you have to give me the list of transactions." ”
The angry Wang Shihua pushed him against the wall.
Wang Shihua was helpless, Pete was even more helpless, after the two looked at each other helplessly, Wang Shihua sighed, patted Pete's shoulder, and said, "Pete, I finally know why you are so stingy?" ”
"Why?"
"The cost of your cousin alone is more than ten times more than the cost of my three cousins combined. With such a loser in the stall, if you don't work hard to save, I'm afraid you won't even be able to afford to eat. Ay~... It's hard for you. ”
Pete was stunned for a moment, and looked at Wang Shihua with a soulmate, and then the old mistake was made again: rubbing his hands, getting closer, and said with a flattering smile: "Family master, since you are so considerate of me, can you turn over my salary?" ”
"Flipping?" Take Pete's income in the second half of last year as an example: 150 yuan a month, a year's salary of 1,800 yuan, and a dividend of 422 yuan at the end of the year (although he came for half a year, Wang Shihua specially approved it and gave it to him as a year), and there was an income of more than 2,200 yuan a year, not counting the fact that this guy ate and drank Lazar was covered by Wang Shihua, and the reward he received according to the head after killing the enemy in each battle...... In short, in a year, there will definitely be no more than 2,500 oceans left. Such an annual salary was absolutely rare for ordinary foreigners who stayed in China at that time. But he still has to flip it over, this is no longer a question of money, but bullying Wang Shihua's IQ.
"Hey... Hey..."
"Come... Come..."Wang Shihua took Petra to the courtyard, pointed to the sun in the sky, and said seriously: "Look at the sun in the sky." ”
Pete looked at the sky and looked at Wang Shihua puzzled.
"You just look at it, and if you see the sun falling from the sky, you must sue me. By then, I will definitely double your salary by 10,000 times. ”
After joking, he left without hesitation.
Instead of going home, he went straight to the arsenal in the old city, where he had to give clear instructions on the newly arrived Japanese-made weapons.
Originally, there were four radio stations: one each in Laosicheng and Wangjiaping, and these two places were the foundation and must be equipped. Wang Shihua, as the head of the family, often goes out, and the transmission of news on a fast horse is too slow, and it may be delayed because Wang Shihua's whereabouts cannot be found, so the radio station next to Wang Shihua cannot be moved. And because there is a telegraph room in the county seat, after taking the Guanhu Village, the radio station equipped with the second uncle is equipped to the Guanhu Village, and now, the purchased non-Japanese radio station has to be given to the county seat, because Wang Shihua realized that sending a telegram from the telegraph room to the family has to pass through the hands of the telegraph personnel, and the news may be leaked...... There is a limit to manpower... Wang Shihua didn't know that the codebook was the main way to really leak the news.
Originally, the three small steel cannons were made in France, and there were 120 shells left. Today, three small Japanese-made steel cannons and 400 shells have been purchased. Because the French arms dealers had returned to China, the line was at a standstill, and the line of the Japanese-made small steel cannon was opened, so Wang Shihua naturally had to rely on the latter.
However, I heard Master Liu say that the standards of the small steel cannons of the two countries are slightly different, and the size of the shells is different, so they cannot be shared. Under the construction of Master Liu, Wang Shihua decided to seal the small steel cannon made by the law, and the small steel cannon made by Japanese will be used in the future. To the outside world, it was said that the shells of the small steel cannon had been fired.
Next, Wang Shihua was a little surprised to find that the caliber of everything made in Japan was different from that of weapons of the same type in other countries, that is, whether it was a heavy machine gun or a light machine gun, its bullets could only be made in Japanese and could not be improved. Although Jiang Agou had already made this clear in the telegram, it still aroused Wang Shihua's depression...... Therefore, it was also ordered that the original two heavy machine guns and bullets should be transferred to Wangjiaping, and the two Japanese-made heavy machine guns would be used in the future. As for the bullets of the Czech light machine gun, as long as you are willing to spend money, how much you want, because the light machine guns used by the Chinese army at that time were almost all Czech light machine guns, and even the light machine guns and their bullets produced by the Wuhan Arsenal were the same, so there was no need to seal them for saving.
This is a little clever on the part of Wang Shihua, and it is also a means of precaution. Although this little trick seems stingy and defensive against the other party, it plays a pivotal role after completely turning his face with Liu Shaoxun in the future.
In the following days, Wang Shihua was very busy: during the day, he could always be seen on the construction site of the school. Of course, Zhang Shuhua's active heroic posture is always indispensable around him. In order to show respect for the teachers who have come one after another, Wang Shihua personally arranged accommodation and condolences. I was a little worried that Huang Yaping hadn't shown up, and decided that if I hadn't seen Huang Yaping at the end of this month, I would have to ask about the specific situation when I was giving them food......
In the evening, he went to the porridge shed to personally give porridge to the victims, so that he could gain fame and observe the situation of the victims directly, so that he could decide when to use the killer move.
In the evening, they wandered around the telegraph room: asking Jiang Ah Gou: the situation of the dog and their arrest of the mastermind behind the scenes, as well as investigating the growth of grain in Hankou and its surroundings, as well as the price...... On August 14, Wang Shihua received a messenger report from Fang Jue: The Shenstick case is over, and it can be summed up in one sentence: China and Japan have officially started a war, this matter is over, you should give me food.
Only in the short time before going to bed and after waking up, tease the baby daughter and enjoy the joy of family.
On August 17, the tenth day after Wang Jincui's birth, Wang Shihua celebrated his baby girl with ten tricks and feasted guests......
