Chapter 201: The simplicity of the countryside

"You call this a routine! Aren't you looking for trouble? Lao Jiu's face is even more bitter, this woman is playing with her temperament, which is not something that ordinary people can bear.

"You're saying I'm vexatious? You just don't like me! Mi Baoer pulled Lao Jiu's arm away, glared at Lao Jiu and shouted.

"I'm going crazy!" Lao Jiu angrily held his head with both hands, grabbed two handfuls on his head, and then gritted his teeth, a princess hugged him, and directly hugged Mi Baoer. Then he walked to the middle of the courtyard, shouting as he went, "Mi Baoer, I love you......"

"Ah...... You're going to die, let me go! Mi Bao'er exclaimed, at this time, she was still taking care of Lao Jiu, and in the whole yard, there were either relatives and friends, or younger siblings and children, which made her ashamed, and her face was red to her neck.

Mi Baoer buried her head deeply in Lao Jiu's chest, punched and kicked, and protested to Lao Jiu. But Lao Jiu ignored her at all, hugged her and spun around in a circle, then put her down and continued, "Bao'er, you are so beautiful! ”

"You ......" Mi Bao'er glared at Lao Jiu angrily, then blushed and ran back to the house directly.

"Oh...... Hehe...... Haha......" There was a sound in the courtyard, all kinds of mixed sounds, and a lot of cheerful laughter. And Lao Jiu looked proud, looking at Mi Bao'er's back as he fled, and couldn't help but think: Sample, you still play this trick with me.

People in the countryside are still very enthusiastic. Now that the weather is getting colder, there are basically two meals at home. And today's banquet is set in the afternoon, and everyone in the morning has simply eaten a little, seeing that the time is still early, so Lao Jiu plans to go to the game to see.

Today is New Year's Day, and tomorrow will enter the wax moon. The winter in the game is also very cold, so a lot of engineering has been affected. In particular, Xiaoyao Island has basically stopped working, and all the workers are quarrying.

And the Empire, the current road situation, has basically entered the late stage, and in half a month, it may be fully completed. And Lao Jiu's main task during this period is to hoard and transfer materials.

During the period of development and construction of the empire, he took a large number of Chinese materials. Today's Easy Empire has been officially recognized by the system, and the issuance of its own currency is no longer restricted by the system.

It does not need to be exchanged for the equivalent of gold coins, but can be issued voluntarily. For an empire, the importance of money can be said to be self-evident. If the economy of an empire collapses, then the empire is not far from extinction.

During this period of road construction. Lao Jiu let the snow drift for hundreds of miles, and secretly printed a large number of free coins. And these Xiaoyao coins were exchanged for countless resources by him in large quantities and at a high price, and then secretly sent to Xiaoyao Island.

It can be said that today's Xiaoyao Empire, in the inland, is just an empty shell. As the weather turned colder and the Xiaoyao Island project was suspended, Yi Xuzi was basically idle. Therefore, he was secretly sent to the southern coastal area by Lao Jiu.

Xiaoyao Island is surrounded by the sea, and for inland people like Lao Jiu, the sea is mysterious and unknown. Therefore, he wants to let people go to the south in advance and hire a group of talents with high salaries. This includes not only the shipyard and the construction of the boats, but also the experience of sailing and the knowledge of the sea.

And these are the real shortcomings of Lao Jiu! So, he can only start with money, and yes, the game is caught in sync with reality.

In the game, Lao Jiu spent a lot of gold coins to let the NPC farmers living along the coast and along the lake immigrate to Xiaoyao Island in large numbers. In reality, let Yi Xuzi contact those retired technicians, as well as unvalued professionals, and then hire them with high salaries.

In fact, Lao Jiu knows that the most difficult thing is a few women. Therefore, whenever he has time, he will chat with a few women, and then guide them from the side, so that they don't care about temporary gains and losses.

At the same time, Lao Jiu also tried his best to say that he would not blame them for anything. Because this step must be taken, and it cannot be avoided. Instead of blaming yourself, it is better to develop in a low-key manner and face the future together.

The time in the game does feel very fast. Before you know it, a few hours have passed. Mi Baoer has already come to call Lao Jiu in person, because the banquet outside is ready to start.

Exiting the game, Lao Jiu adjusted his mental state, and then took Mi Baoer in his arms and walked outside.

"My little darling, we're a couple! Come, let one kiss! While walking, Lao Jiu was still dishonest, and put his mouth on Mi Baoer's cheek, wanting to kiss him.

"Get out! If you don't do anything right, you will embarrass me again in a while, and you will die! Mi Baoer pushed Lao Jiu away, looked at him angrily and said.

"Hey...... What's so embarrassing about that, isn't that normal? Lao Jiu looked at her and smiled, and said cheekily.

"Anyway, you give me a good treat, if you dare to come nonsense and embarrass me, you just wait." Mi Baoer pouted.

"Good...... Listen to my wife! Lao Jiu looked at her and said a little speechlessly.

"Hmph, that's pretty much it." Mi Bao'er snorted lightly, then took Lao Jiu's arm and walked outside.

This strong rural style makes Lao Jiu seem to return to his childhood. looked at the simple faces around him, and listened to the honest laughter. Lao Jiu's heart was full of warmth, which made him a little intoxicated.

Today's banquet is mainly to let Lao Jiu recognize people. What are the seven aunts and eight aunts, uncles and uncles, all need to be recognized by Lao Jiu pouring wine. Laughter, coupled with the sound of firecrackers, and the joyful celebration scene, formed a strong picture of rural festivity.

Speaking of which, in fact, Lao Jiu's alcohol consumption is okay. I don't dare to say much about liquor, and if I drink half a catty or eight taels, there is no problem at all. But the problem is, there are so many people who can't stand up to persuade alcohol!

It's just that after a circle, Lao Jiu's tongue is a little bigger. Mi Baoer saw that it was not good, and hurriedly stood up and blocked the wine for Lao Jiu. Women are born with half a catty, this is really not blowing, Mi Baoer is much more bold than Lao Jiu.

The two came in exchange and held on for an afternoon. As the sun sets and night falls, it's getting colder and colder outside. Mi Xiaobao was in the middle of the courtyard, lit a big bonfire, and then a group of young people began to brag and chat around the fire.

"Brother-in-law, sing a song......" After a while, Mi Xiaobao began to mix.

"Singing wool, brother-in-law, I don't have all five tones, I'm afraid that if I go out, you will all run out!" Lao Jiu rolled his eyes, looked at everyone and said, "I'll give you a barbecue, there's absolutely no problem with this!" ”

"Squirming, not like a man at all!" Without waiting for Mi Xiaobao to speak, Mi Du next to him said with an unhappy face.

"I like this, I'll sing to everyone!" At this time, Mi Baoer suddenly stood up, staggered two steps, and then said with a blushing face, "I'll sing to Brother Jiu......"

"Bao'er, you've drunk too much!" Seeing that she was about to fall, Lao Jiu hurriedly got up and helped her and said.

"No...... You are Bao'er's general, Bao'er will sing that ......" Mi Bao'er pushed Lao Jiu, and then said drunkenly, "My general, ......"

"Slow down, I can't help you!" Lao Jiu was a little speechless and helped her and said.

"Huh...... It's okay! Mi Baoer smiled, pushed Lao Jiu away, then poured two more glasses of wine, handed Lao Jiu a glass, and began to sing.

Wolf smoke wind sand mouth

Also ask the general to drink less

The road ahead is not easy

I'm waiting at home

May the willow go

The head is full of poplar flowers and white heads

Ten taels of acacia and two taels of wine

I just said my love

……………………

Lao Jiu listened to Mi Baoer's sweet singing, and a warm smile rose on the corner of his mouth. He held Mi Baoer in one hand and the wine glass in the other, and drank it all! There was a wind blowing, raising Mi Baoer's hair, at this moment, she looks so beautiful!

After singing a song, Lao Jiu seemed to be still indulging in it and reminiscing about it for a long time.

"Good...... Papapa......" The old people and children surrounding him were all clapping and applauding.

"The eldest sister sings one too!" At this time, Mi Xiaobao shouted.

"That's it, Sister Midu also sings one!" And the children next to him also mixed up.

"It's snowing...... Then I'll sing two lines too! Mido generously stood up and said. Originally, the weather was still very good during the day today, and the moon was bright at night, but suddenly there were faint snowflakes in the sky.

"Just sing the wind and snow......" Gently catching a few snowflakes with his hand, a smile hung on the corner of Midu's mouth, and then began to sing.

The wind comes from the Buddha face through the mountains and rivers

Flowers are scattered into mud and always bloom undefeated

The snow is white at sunrise and white on the eaves

The moon is at hand, and the end of the world is thousands of years

…………………………

Mido's singing voice is very distinctive, and like her character, it gives people a sense of freedom and ease. As soon as the singing was finished, it caused a lot of applause. It can also be said that a song by Mido directly brings the atmosphere up.

Then many people began to volunteer, and Lao Jiu's favorite was an eleven or twelve-year-old girl. Her voice is very good, especially when she sings folk songs from northern Shaanxi, even Lao Jiu can't help but applaud and give her a red envelope.

Lao Jiu's actions also amused a group of children, all of whom surrounded him. This made Lao Jiu feel that he was really old. However, this kind of scene made Lao Jiu feel warm from the heart.

Although the snow was falling heavier and heavier, the laughter in the courtyard never stopped. The bonfire was very prosperous by the small treasure of Mi, and the flames directly jumped more than two meters high.

"Shall the two of us have a drink?" At this time, Mi Du, who was a little drunk, came over with two bowls of wine, looked at Lao Jiu, and said with a smile. The firelight was printed on her face, giving her another kind of beauty!

"Thank you!" Lao Jiu smiled slightly, and helped Mi Bao'er, who was leaning in his arms, who was nearly half hazy. Then Mido said with the wine in his hand.

"I know Bao'er, and what she believes will not change. So...... Bite! Mi Du touched Lao Jiu, and then half a bowl of white wine was drunk by her, and then she continued, "No matter what happens in the future, I hope you can treat her better!" ”
