He thought that he had given Lu Yan such a big promise, Lu Yan should be very happy, and then looked at him gratefully, but Squire Wu was wrong.

"No need."

Lu Yan mercilessly rejected his kindness, and also said: "If there is anything I want, I will fight for it myself, I don't need others to give it to me, the squire's kindness, Lu has thanked him." ”

"Oh?" Squire Wu looked at the expression on Lu Yan's face that didn't seem to be fake, nor did it seem like he was retreating, and he became more and more satisfied in his heart, and nodded on his face, "That's good, although you don't need it, but my words have already been said, if you need help in the future, you can also come to me, I still say that, within my ability, I will try to help." ”

"Then thank you Squire Wu."

Lu Yan is not the kind of person who doesn't know what to do, so he responded down the steps.

After settling this matter, Si Si said goodbye to Lu Yan and Squire Wu and prepared to go back.

"Lu Yan, do you really have the confidence that you can compare to the past?"

Si Si looked at Lu Yan with some concern, although the things he made at home on weekdays were really good, but compared with many people who specialized in carpentry, there was no chance of winning!

"It's fine."

Lu Yan looked relaxed, "Anyway, it doesn't matter if you do it or not, but you just can't let this unknown job be robbed by someone else, right?" If my skills are not as good as others, there is nothing to say, and besides, this kind of thing is supposed to benefit the village, who can't do it! ”

"Yes, it's me who wants to fork in."

The two of them bought some snacks for Jixiang and walked home.

……

"Bidding? What is Bidding? Meng Zhuangshi was at home, and he asked the village chief who came to deliver the news in surprise.

"It's just a matter of getting a few carpenters to compete and see who can do it well," explained the village chief impatiently.

If it weren't for their old Meng family stirring up inside, where would so many things come out!

The village chief's attitude towards this family is a little bad, think about it, Lu Yan is the person recommended by him, the village chief, but now he has been cut off by the Meng family, isn't this a clear slap in the face!

"Didn't you ask your nephew to do this? Then prepare well! ”

The village chief didn't give them a good face either, and after throwing down the sentence, he left.

"Huh! Chief! ”

Meng Zhuangshi wanted to stop the village chief and ask something more, but the village chief was very impatient and left quickly.

This can be regarded as offending people.

"But, why did Squire Wu suddenly change his mind again?" Meng Zhuangshi didn't understand, he originally thought that letting Chen Xian work was a sure thing, so even if he offended the village chief, it didn't matter, but who knew that Squire Wu sent someone to the village chief to say that he was going to change his mind.

"To tell you the truth, Lu Yan and Sisi went to find Squire Wu yesterday, and it is estimated that it was the idea of the two of them." Meng Shishi was also listening, remembering the figure he saw yesterday, he didn't think it was a big deal, and deliberately provoked it. Let's play

"No wonder, but why didn't Lu Yan just let Squire Wu give her the job, and what kind of bidding did he have?"

"It's not strange, if they want to come over directly, then others will think that they have something unsavory to do with Squire Wu, such an open bidding, who does well and who does not, it's clear, don't ask so much, hurry up and let your nephew prepare to prepare, while the two days haven't started, hurry up and practice your hands."

"What is going on!" Meng Zhuang was a little flustered in his heart, and he had already begun to wonder if he was right to do this in the first place.

……

Lu Yan's news that they were going to bid soon spread throughout Sweetwater Village.

Although the news released by the village chief is that all interested carpenters can come to participate in the bidding, but everyone in the village who is interested in carpentry work has been to Lu Yan's house to observe and study for a few days, and they are also very deeply aware of the gap between themselves and others, so no one else came to participate.

Only Lu Yan and Chen Xian participated in the bidding.

Chen Xian received the news that he was going to bid the day before, and in order to compete, he lived in Meng Zhuangshi's house the day before, and it was more convenient the next day.

"Cousin, I'm telling you, you're going to win tomorrow no matter what!" At home, Meng Lili said uncomfortably that she had told her many times, and her ears were calloused.

"Don't worry, the Lu Yan you are talking about is just a mountain village woman! Clumsy, I'm sure I'll win. Chen Xian didn't care at all, he came here to see Meng Lili.

Meng Lili sighed, thinking of the rough jewelry box he made for himself last time, and she didn't know whether to believe Chen Xian or not.

At this time, they were having dinner, and in order to let Chen Xian have a good game, Meng Li also killed an old hen at home and stewed it for Chen Xian to make up for his body.

"Chen Xian, you eat more, although they all say that Lu Yan does a good job of carpentry, but you are not bad, besides, he is not specialized in this, here I said that this is all rumor, whether it is true or not! You must win, and don't lose your uncle's face! ”

Meng Li said, and sandwiched another chicken leg for Chen Xian.

Chen Xian smiled and said, "Thank you, aunt", and then gnawed on the chicken leg as a matter of course, and then looked at the people at this table, and when he saw Meng Zhuang, his eyes shrank.

At the entire dinner table, Meng Zhuangshi had a straight face from beginning to end.

Meng Zhuang regretted it in his intestines, hating himself for not being soft-hearted for a while and agreeing to Meng Lili, what if Chen Xian lost? Not to mention that he offended the village chief because of this incident, if he was put in small shoes in the future, where would he say!

It's better that this nephew has real talent, or else...... Meng Zhuangshi didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

Now that he saw Chen Xian looking at himself, he said angrily: "What are you looking at?" Eat your meal, hurry up and go to bed after eating, and give me a good game tomorrow! Give me some gas! ”

"Oh, I got it, uncle." Chen Xian was a little afraid of this uncle, so he nodded and replied.

But where is Chen Xian the kind of person who will sleep obediently, as soon as he finished eating, he slipped into Meng Lili's room while the people of the Meng family were not paying attention.

"What are you doing here?" Meng Lili was sitting at the table combing her hair, but when she saw Chen Xian sneaking in, she couldn't help but stand up.

"Cousin, I can't sleep, otherwise, tell me about that Lu Yanbei, what is his origin!" Chen Xian said cheekily.

"What did you say he was doing?" The last thing Meng Lili wants to mention is Lu Yan, as long as she mentions him, she will remember the scene when she was rejected.
