Chapter 44: Insect Pests
When Wang San returned to the eastern suburbs with a group of people, his face softened a lot, and someone on the street came up to talk, "Wang Dongjia, I haven't seen you for a long time." Wang San also returned the salute one by one, and then went to the tea shop with Pinyuan, and the guys on the tea mountain squeezed into two carriages and returned to the tea mountain.
"Uncle Qian, I'm here to see you." The first house is sold far away, and the face is happy.
The old shopkeeper in the house, who was sitting there dozing off, was woken up by the voice of Pinyuan, and was not annoyed, and said slowly, "I'm really useless, and I dozed off after a while, Shaodong, you can come and see my old bones, and I'm also happy, San'er." ”
Pin Yuan held the hand of the money shopkeeper on the crutches, and said with a smile, "The third brother went to ask for money for you, just behind." Frightened, the old shopkeeper hurriedly got up, "How to ask for money, not everyone has run away, there are several people on the other side, have you suffered a loss, don't have an accident, if something happens, how can I go down and explain to his father." ”
Wang San, who was in the back, was a little moved, and put the broken silver he had just brought back into a brocade bag on the table and handed it to Uncle Qian, "The Ma family is in decline this year, and these villains who have fallen into the well are indispensable, Uncle Qian will send Xiao Jian to me if he has something to do in the future, next time he may not be able to be so coincidental, bear with it, and those people will not know what to do." ”
"San'er, thank you so much this time, although I didn't want you to take this risk just now, but you took them back, I really feel happy, with you by my side, my life is not in vain." There were some tears in his eyes.
The two were relieved, and then left for the tea garden, leaving Liang Tian alone to cook the tea shop.
"I remember that Uncle Qian also has a nephew?" On the way, Wang San suddenly said such a sentence coldly.
Pinyuan touched his head and thought about it, and he couldn't tell the difference between the various intricate relationships in the tea garden, "I remember that there is, in the early years, there was an Aunt Qian who always went to the store, but then I didn't know why I didn't see it, just go back and ask my father." ”
"No, wait until the concierge transfers Wu Qing over, if the shop is changed to a tea shop, there will be more people to help with the food, I think he is quite good at cooking."
The carriage went all the way to the tea mountain, which had been traveling for thousands of years, and was pressed more solidly by the wheels, and the soil soaked yesterday was united today again, condensed into a stubbornness that could not be dispersed no matter how much it was suppressed.
Chunsheng is also as stubborn as this, living in this tea mountain for more than 20 years, no one knows where his hatred comes from, maybe it is the obedient temper of his aging father, or maybe it is the doubling of doting after his mother lost her son.
"Chunsheng, I heard that your brother is the brother of the owner... Hmm... ”
"Little rabbit, don't talk nonsense, Chunsheng, don't take it to heart, this kid can't speak." A beautiful woman took his little bunny with her apologetic eyes.
"Chunsheng, why doesn't your father pick tea, it's better than my house..."
"Chunsheng, why is your mother as old as my grandmother..."
Tong Yan is unscrupulous, full of curiosity about the whole world, but Chunsheng felt that he was old as soon as he was born, he was old for many years, even if he had a strong body, his heart was already as old as a dead wood, especially when he was said to be young enough to be in charge, he was very ruthless about everything here, and all the tea should be stepped on the ground.
When Wu Yong was sent out of the city in a hurry last year, he also went, and he was the only one in the tea mountain. A traitor-like character like this kind of tea mountain, he should have hated it, but he couldn't hate it, and he even felt pitiful, if it weren't for his indifferent face insulting himself, maybe he would have a feeling of pity.
It's a pity that I couldn't see the end, this decaying Ma family, this year is an opportunity, the only opportunity for more than 20 years, this high banner of progress is carried by me, one day I can see the moment when this high-rise building collapses, thinking of this, Chunsheng can't help but laugh wildly, this is the time to laugh, why can't you laugh.
It's a pity that Wang San doesn't know these things, although he was born during that time, and because of that incident, he is not the same as the growth trajectory of his ancestors, but he doesn't know what this person thinks in his heart at all, and he can only see the hatred in his eyes.
"Lock it up again, and when Mingxin comes back with news, I'll send it to the government." Ma Bin was tired in the end, and he locked Chunsheng back in less than a while, and the iron-beaten walnuts couldn't be opened.
Baidicheng started with tea, and has always attached great importance to tea, and there is a felony that is to harm tea seedlings, which is the same crime as burglary. Second Uncle Tong was helpless, and his nephew who had the intention of pulling up from the quagmire, but he didn't appreciate it, so he resigned from the owner and asked a few guys to find his sister-in-law and nephew.
When Ming Xin came back, it was the end of the day, stepping into the dark hour, dragging a tired body, the carriage had just arrived at the gate of the courtyard, and Pinyuan greeted him with concern, "I should have stopped you, and it's not too late for the rest of the people to stay tomorrow to see it, they should always be there." ”
"It's okay, I should go out for a run, I didn't help you in any way before."
Steward Lin on the side saw it and hurriedly pushed Mingxin home, "Yes, Young Master Mingxin has to go to take a bath first, and Young Master Pinyuan should also go to the hall to wait, otherwise the master should talk about you again." ”
"I'm the only one in the family who eats rice, and I'll go to the mountains tomorrow." It's a prophecy, but at this time, Pinyuan doesn't know at all, and tomorrow's self will stay in the mountains all day.
After a while, Wang San also came back from Chashan in a carriage, and hurried to the main hall as soon as he got out of the carriage.
"How is it on the tea mountain? There may be differences. Ma Bin is most concerned about the tea mountain, which has been passed down from generation to generation, although it is not his original intention to take over the tea mountain.
"I didn't find anything unusual, except for a few tea seedlings that were damaged during the scuffle yesterday, but that's why I think there's a big problem." The face full of sadness was not stretched at all, and as soon as he came up, he directly expressed his worries.
"You mean the pest?"
"Hmm."
Now it was Ma Bin's turn to pace in the main hall, with a rare panic on his face, "What kind of worm do you think it will be?" ”
"I looked for Old Man Ding, but he didn't see any insects, he said that he could only find traces when the insect infestation became serious. But I'm afraid that it will be too late by then, and I want to transfer some more people from the workshop to patrol the mountains, but I am afraid that no one will watch the sun these days. ”
"Tea Mountain priority, tomorrow let Pinyuan take someone there, he has nothing to do anyway, I asked the shopkeeper Xiao to go over there, it just so happens that the Xia family over there is also gone, the other two haven't come this year, and they haven't been busy yet." It's just that sooner or later this account will have to be settled with the Liang family, since he doesn't say it, you can only check who is secretly making a ghost. ”
"Hmm. The last time the Xia family came, when the shopkeeper Xiao went to clean up, he also found that there was some leakage in the west wing, don't delay the arrival of the other two tea merchants in the back, they are a little late this year. You might as well let the two tea merchants in Bihua Pavilion let them live in the open now, the rumors of the Ma family have been tight in the past few days, and if you still have a mind, it is better to put some news out first. ”
After arranging everything, Ma Bin finally relaxed a little, and said to Wang San with some sighs, "I wanted to take advantage of this time to find someone to repair the house, the wood tiles at this time of year are still cheap, and the price will increase after the summer, and now I can't be busy." ”
"It doesn't delay anything, I'll go to the northwest tomorrow to find a timber merchant, and hire a few more carpenters, and it won't cost us anything."
When the two were talking about the arrangement, Ming Xin was already standing by the door, looking hesitant, but he still said, "Uncle, I'm back." ”
Ma Bin noticed Mingxin at the door, a little happy, and asked, "Are all those people back?" ”
"I went back, I asked one by one, all of them were invited by Chunsheng to worship the Buddha, and those people didn't know that there was such a thing, and they all volunteered to fine some money."
"Worship the Buddha?" This time it was Wang San's turn to be surprised, he thought it was for profit, but it was for worshipping Buddha.
"Well, that's how they all answered, and the family has the habit of worshiping the Buddha, and the whole family went, it doesn't look like collusion."
"I hope that's all there is to it."
