Chapter 17: Leaving Home
In the hall, Tao Yougui looked at Yang Lao's fourth age and looked like him, and carefully inquired about his identity.
Yang Laosi glanced at the pomegranate flower standing behind Tao Yougui, and didn't dare to put on a shelf at all.
The foreman is a big man for the croppers who can only dig in the soil, and Tao Yougui learned that Yang Laosi is a special person to lead people to build houses for large families, so he is more and more humble.
Pomegranate stood quietly behind Tao Yougui, with a straight back, a slight smile at the corner of his lips, his eyes were crystal clear, and his generous bearing was compared with Tao Yougui.
Yang Laosi suddenly felt that the pomegranate flower didn't look like the daughter of the peasant man in front of him.
Tao Yougui didn't believe that Pomegranate Flower knew how to dig the foundation, but the two people who came today were conclusive, saying that they were looking for their daughter, and Jinbao confirmed it, so he asked Pomegranate Hua suspiciously.
Pomegranate had no choice but to repeat the words that fooled Jinbao before.
Tao Yougui has a good relationship with Mantian's father, and Mantian's family naturally has to help when he builds a house, and he knows the situation at that time.
The stove room of the Mantian family is because the foundation is shallow, and it will not take many years to collapse, so it was demolished and rebuilt, and many rooms were used as warehouses.
The foundation is three feet deeper than before, and it is indeed dug up to the purple rock soil as the pomegranate said, and the master also has one, not from this village, surnamed Xu, I heard that the year before last was no longer there.
When building the house, the pomegranate flower is as big as the current Tao Tianbao, and he often leads his younger brother to play there, as for whether the master said anything to the pomegranate flower, it is unknown.
Fang Er rested for a while, his eyes looked around in the hall, full of disgust, and saw that Tao Yougui was still asking questions in a rambling manner, and suddenly became impatient, "I said this uncle, we invite your girl to work in vain, after the work is done, my master will have a heavy thank you, and you will definitely not suffer a loss." ”
When it was over, he pointed at Jinbao and said, "There is this stupid big guy on the construction site, who can bully your daughter?" What are you worried about? ”
Jinbao is tall and strong, and he is honest, so he has become a stupid big man in his eyes.
In fact, he still hasn't said something, that is: your daughter is not grown, and she is not beautiful, who will beat her idea.
After hearing this, Tao Yougui was moved.
There are a lot of gifts brought by people today, regardless of whether the girl does things for others or not, but there is one thing that must be explained in advance.
With his eyes rolling, Tao Yougui put forward the conditions: You came to ask my daughter to go, after the house is built, if something goes wrong, the family will not be responsible.
Yang Laosi suddenly felt that the country man in front of him, who seemed to be cowering, was not as honest and shrewd as he seemed on the surface!
Fang Er also secretly scolded Tao Yougui for being slippery, the benefits should be taken, and the responsibility was all someone else's, I wanted to leave with my sleeves, but I thought of the master's explanation and endured it, "Don't worry, let your girl go just to help take a look, the final matter has its own master to take the idea, and if something happens in the future, it will not trouble your family." ”
Tao Yougui was relieved, straightened his body, picked up his father's shelf and said to Pomegranate Flower: "Girl, since people have asked you to help, they can afford to look down on us, you must do your best, don't be perfunctory, and embarrass our old Tao family, remember?" ”
"Got it, Dad." The pomegranate blossoms are crispy.
The knowledge of mining is used to dig the foundation, and the profession is not right, but the knowledge learned finally came in handy, and she was quite happy in her heart.
After the matter was done, Yang Laosi and Fang Er asked Jinbao to stay, and they would go to the construction site with Pomegranate Flower tomorrow, and they said goodbye first.
Seeing that they were both gone, Jinbao was going home, and before leaving, he told Pomegranate that he would come and call her tomorrow morning.
Cao Shi came to the hall with the tea that had just been brewed, and when he saw that all the people were gone, he asked blankly, "Why did this person leave after coming for a while?" ”
Tao Yougui pondered and did not answer.
Pomegranate smiled and said, "What are you doing if you don't go?" Our food is not looked down on. ”
Cao's Hengliu glanced at him, "I didn't say that I wanted to keep them for dinner, I was sorry for this tea, two coins of silver and a pound of tea, and the old lady herself was not willing to drink it during the New Year." ”
"I can't afford to drink two coins of silver and one pound, so do you want to drink these two taels of silver?" Pomegranate picked up one of the packets and shook it.
In fact, she was not sure about the price of this tea, but she only felt that since that son was not ordinary rich, then the gifts would definitely not be cheap.
"Don't drink it." Cao Shi hurriedly put down the tea in his hand, ran over and snatched the bag of tea, "Keep it for the New Year." ”
Pomegranate pouted, looked at the word "green snow" on the bag of tea and said: "This is green tea, you can't drink it after a long time." ”
"Yo, are you still particular about tea?" Cao Yu took the bag of tea in his hand and flipped it around, thinking that all the tea leaves were the same as the tea foam he bought.
Pomegranate didn't bother to explain, picking up other things.
There are two bags of tea, two jars of aged Huadiao wine, two catties of white frost sugar, several bags of pastries, and two good muslins.
One of the cloth is water red and the other is sky blue, and the giver takes care of both men and women.
Cao put down the tea leaves, picked up the water-red cloth and compared it with the pomegranate flower, and immediately decided where the two pieces of cloth would go, "This red one will cut two clothes for you, and the blue one will give you your father and Tianbao." ”
Pomegranate said lightly, "I don't want it, you can wear it yourself." ”
Her clothes are either red or with red flowers, cheesy to death, I don't understand how the Cao family dresses up her daughter.
Cao Shi compared the cloth to himself again, "Tut-tut, if my wife and I were ten years younger, this color would still be able to wear it." Nowadays, people are old and yellow, and when they go out in clothes of this color, they must not make people laugh off their big teeth. ”
Tao Yougui glanced at Cao's family, picked up a jar of wine, a pound of frosting, and two bags of pastries, said that he would go to Mantian's house, and left.
Cao and Pomegranate didn't care, there were a lot of things, and it was common sense to give some to people with good relationships.
The mother and daughter took their things into the house, and Cao left a bag of tea outside.
"Send this to the next yard, she likes it." When the pomegranate flower came out of the house, Cao stuffed the tea leaves into the pomegranate flower's hand.
Pomegranate remembered what Tao said, thought for a while, and asked, "Mother, I heard my aunt say that you were fine in the past, why don't you send it yourself?" ”
Cao Shi glared, "If you want to send it, you will send it, and you don't care about the affairs of adults." ”
"Oh." Pomegranate pouted, picked up the tea leaves and left.
She sensed that there must be something between the two of them that she didn't know.
Dow saw the tea brought by the pomegranate flower, and hurriedly asked where it came from, this tea is a treasure among green tea, and the price is not cheap.
Pomegranate told me that she was going to town tomorrow.
After hearing this, Dow felt a little unable to see through the pomegranate flower, but she didn't say anything, only told the pomegranate to take care of herself.
After delivering the tea, the pomegranate flowers didn't stay much, and the things on the construction site couldn't be finished in a day or two, so she had to clean up.
In fact, there is nothing to pack, just bring two changes of clothes, the town is not too far, and it is easy to go back and forth.
The next morning, Campbell came to call pomegranate flowers.
Pomegranate Flower walked out of the courtyard with a small burden on her back, Cao's heart suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, there is now a girl left at home, and she has never left her side for a long time when she has grown so big.
She hurried to follow.
"Mother, what are you doing?" Pomegranate Hua found Cao Shi following behind and asked a little puzzled.
Cao Shi held back the sourness in his heart, and said with a forced smile: "Mother will send you." ”
Pomegranate Hua was stunned, and then understood that the Cao family was reluctant to her, and shook her head in her heart: What a cute and stubborn woman!
Jinbao also seemed to understand Cao's meaning, and joked with a smile: "Auntie, anyway, the town is not far away, you don't worry about pomegranate flowers, just go over and take a look every day and come back." ”
Cao Shi glared, "You kid is interested in making fun of your aunt, I'm so idle, I run to the town every day." ”
Jinbao hurriedly smiled and said: "Auntie, don't worry, there is me on the construction site, as well as my father and two brothers, we won't let people bully pomegranate flowers." ”
Cao was still not at ease, and told Pomegranate that if something happened, he would go to Xinghua and Xu Pingchang.
Pomegranate should go down, bid farewell to the Cao family with Jinbao, and go to the town.
This time, Pomegranate was full of strength, and she was tired from climbing up the hill in one breath, and Jinbao asked her if she wanted to rest her legs, and she shook her head.
Jinbao wondered, when did Pomegranate become so good?
