Chapter 143: Something Happened

Chen injured his ribs, the weather was unusually hot, and the three media and six women had to follow the rules little by little, and the process was very slow. Chunya is a bride to be married, and she is no longer embarrassed to go to the old man's house. She often dragged the Chunhua sisters to buy silk threads and sell medicinal herbs, and came to the market, wandering around the Dumei stall, killing time, just waiting for the old man to go back together.

In fact, they didn't say anything on the road, most of them were Chunhua and Qiuguo chattering non-stop, the old man sat in front of him to catch the car, Chunya sat behind him, the old man looked back by chance, his eyes intersected but he hurriedly staggered. Chunya prefers to look at him behind him, as far as the eye can see, inexplicably settled and comfortable.

Du Mei prepared all kinds of sand, stone, brick and wood materials well, and the masters did it well, and because of the rich meals of Du Mei's family, the masters were also satisfied. In this way, within a few days, in the envious eyes of the villagers, five tall and spacious houses rose from the ground, and they were about to go up the beams.

It is a very important thing to go to the beam in the countryside, and it is indispensable for the host family to hold a banquet, and more importantly, the mother's family has to send a lot of congratulatory gifts, such as chicken, duck and fish, candy and pastries, gunfire red cloth and so on.

Dujiagou people all know that Xu's family is fleeing, and he has not been in contact with his mother's family for more than ten years, and an aunt and nephew came in early spring, and he left after living for a long time, and now, there is no news at all.

Some people in the village began to move, wanting to see the jokes of Xu and Du Mei, and there was no mother's family to carry the burden to congratulate them, so it was difficult to buy congratulatory gifts for themselves?

Zhong Yu has been very busy these days, he recognized Du Mei as his niece, building a house and beams, and the guy in his own store kindly told him what to do. Although he was a cheap uncle, he still happily bought and prepared a lot of congratulatory gifts.

He didn't know what to buy, so he went out of his way to ask the women who came to see him for advice. As the saying goes, ten miles of different winds and hundreds of miles of customs, each woman says something different, but she feels that what she says is the most right. Zhong Yushi was really difficult to distinguish the authenticity, so he simply followed and bought some of them, adhering to the idea that many people are not to blame, but unexpectedly it was filled with a carriage.

The eldest girl's father, Huang Yiping, is Du Mei's master of painting candy, and their family has lived a good life because of Du Mei's help, and the eldest girl not only learned embroidery with Du Mei but also learned to make herbal tea, Du Mei is a very important person to their family.

When he knew that Du Mei's house was about to go to the beam, he thought that he couldn't miss this excitement no matter what. So she sent the eldest lady to prepare four congratulatory gifts, and a bundle of two kicks and a whip.

The eldest lady was close, and she sent a congratulatory gift early in the morning. Du Mei took her by the arm affectionately and accompanied her to see the newly built house. Because the eldest girl had cough and asthma, Xu made hot tea in the house and accompanied her to say something considerate.

Zhong Yu deliberately changed into a newly sewn sky blue dark pattern gown on this day, looking refreshing and tall. He personally drove the carriage and set off from Sheshan Town to Dujiagou early.

Du Mei rarely calls Zhong Yu his uncle in front of people on weekdays, so Du Jiagou people only think that Du Mei followed Zhong Yu to study medicine, but they don't know that there is such a relationship.

When she happily called out Uncle Zhong Yu, the eyes of the people of Dujiagou were about to fall in shock. What kind of blessing did this girl get in her life? Not only did he learn his best medical skills, but he was also recognized as a close relative by this cold man!

Then came Ye Qing's congratulatory gift, the old man's congratulatory gift, Qian Maofu's congratulatory gift, Gouyu's sent Niu Er's, and Erdan also sent Hei Jiaolong's......

Du Mei has been receiving gifts all morning, and the most he receives is two kicks and hanging whips.

The time of the beam is calculated in advance, and this is the only one thing to do this morning, so everyone is more relaxed, today is the highlight of Du Jiasuo, he climbed the wall early to prepare.

Qian Maolu and his people also arrived, they came to help Du Jiasuo, although they have been working together for a few days, but the two are very close in character and have agreed to do things together.

After holding a solemn sacrifice event, Du Jiasuo, with the cooperation of everyone, fixed the position of the girder, stood on the gable, squinted his eyes one last time to confirm it, and then waved his hand to Du Mei, who was looking up at him with his neck up, with satisfaction.

Du Zhong stood at the gate of the courtyard, lined up the two kickers, and hung whips on both sides of the wall.

Outside the courtyard of Du Mei's house, surrounded by villagers who watched the excitement, I saw that in the courtyard of her house, people who congratulated Xi came and went, and everything was transported by horse-drawn carriage.

"Look at these two rooms, it's not what it used to be." A woman uttered a sour word.

"This girl is only fourteen years old, if in a few years, there are very few people who dare to marry her

This. The other woman scoffed.

A woman's lack of talent is virtue. Although there is no explicit provision in the Dashun Dynasty that girls cannot show their heads, no matter whether they are beautiful or small, they rarely go out to deal with men, let alone do business and talk about business.

"I think you just can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, and you are jealous that Du Mei has the ability to make a lot of money and do big things!" A woman scoffed.

"Isn't it, looking at Du Jiagou, whose fourteen-year-old child can handle such a big thing!" An old woman said with a toothless mouth.

"Well, after all, Meizi is a poor female doll. If it weren't for Erjin's untimely death, how could she be a girl to support the door! An old man took a puff on his cigarette and said leisurely. The smoke filled the air, obscuring his cloudy eyes.

"Bang...... Syllable! "Suddenly, someone on the beam threw a double kick into the air.

"Bang...... Syllable! In response, Du Zhong lit the cannon at the gate of the courtyard.

"Crackling." The whips rang out in unison, and a puff of white smoke rose and red dust flew everywhere.

The sound of artillery battles came and went, too much was released, the air was full of the smell of gunpowder, and the crowd of onlookers was at the downwind, choking and coughing, and they all took refuge.

After a quarter of an hour, the artillery battle was over, and the next thing was the main event. The villagers who were originally watching from the outside of the courtyard flocked to the front of Du Mei's new house.

Du Jiasuo, Qian Maolu and others stood on the gable, each with a bag, which was full of pastries and candies and other congratulatory gifts from the giver. Among them, Zhong Yu bought the most, so everyone's bags were full.

"Throw it away!" The villagers with their necks tilted up kept urging below.

"Here, here!" The townsfolk to the east jumped up and shouted.

"Throw candy!" An old man carried his grandson on his shoulders and beckoned to the Du family lock.

Every time it is thrown, it attracts the men, women and children below to snatch it, and those who grab it laugh heartily, and those who don't grab it are even more riveting to grab the next wave.

Suddenly, fluttering, a red paper bag flew down from the sky, which could be wrapped in money, which was naturally Zhong Yu's generosity. When the people at the bottom saw it, they went crazy. The two children even almost fought for a penny, and Du Mei had to take another penny to make them happy.

Before and after, starting from the preparation of materials, Du Mei worked hard for many days, and she also laughed happily when she looked at the villagers who were now busy and robbing. Xu leaned against the doorframe of the old house, tears of joy rolling in her eyes, but she couldn't help but let it fall.

Shangliang must be robbed and troubled on this day, indicating that the main family will be rich and prosperous in the future. Zhong Yu stood under the eaves of the kitchen, he looked at the Xu family who was crying with joy, and then looked at Du Mei who was squinting in the sun, and then turned his eyes to look at the excitement of the robbery, and his heart was inexplicably happy, it turned out that this was the fireworks of ordinary people.

Zhou lay on the bed in her house, listening to the cheerful sound of artillery and the noise of the villagers coming from the west, she gritted her back molars with hatred, and her eyes were full of anger. It's a pity that she can't move because of the pain in her body, so she can just scold a few times in her heart.

After Xie vomited in the ancestral hall that day, he suddenly fell ill and vomited whatever he ate. The bustle of Du Mei's house made her sleepless and had a headache, and she inevitably gritted her teeth and cursed in her heart.

Du Mei didn't have time to pay attention to them, the villagers were satisfied, in Dujiagou, no one had scattered so many things, let alone money. They filled their pockets and left laughing and laughing.

The banquet was held at noon, and all kinds of dishes came up like water, these dishes were prepared by Du Mei herself, as well as brought by Zhong Yu and Ye Qing, the weather was too hot, and if you didn't cook cooked food, it would be bad in the afternoon.

Zhong Yu and Ye Qing went back after eating at noon, one had to sit for a doctor, and the other had to see the store. Gou Yu and Erdan also went back to their lives, and Du Mei told them to let Niu Er and Hei Jiaolong come to dinner at night.

In the evening, the banquet was opened, and the eldest girl's father couldn't come, so Du Mei sent him some ready-made meals to make dinner, and called the eldest girl and the eldest sisters. Chunya's family, Chunhua's family, the old man and the second stunned, Du Zhong and Du Shu's father and son, Du Jiasuo and Fang's couple, plus their own family members and the people who helped the cook, opened two tables first. also left a table for Niu Er and Black Jiaolong.

The two tables were lively and eating, it was not early, and there was no much gossip, and they all went home.

Du Mei saw that there was still a table of dishes that had not moved, and she looked up at the moon, and estimated that it was about time. If you don't come here at this time, did Gou Yu and Erdan forget to tell them, or is something delayed? Du Mei's heart suddenly became a little uneasy.

This night, Niu Er and Hei Jiaolong did not come after all, but on the top of Shewu Mountain in the pitch black

But there was a man. To be exact, it was a man in a dark brocade shirt, a black horse and a black dog.

The man stared intently at the village below, where the lights were bright, and the cool evening breeze even brought the smell of food and the laughter of the people.

"Meizi, one of your wishes has come true, don't forget me!" After standing for a long time, the man turned around and led the horse down the mountain, and the black dog barked inadvertently.

"Panther!" The man snorted in warning. The black dog immediately snorted lightly.

The man turned over and got on his horse, and a red-maned horse suddenly appeared behind him, as if squeezed out of the dark night: "Master, the hour is not early, the city gate is about to close, let's go back." ”

The man did not reply, but with a shake of the reins, his heel tapped the horse's belly, and the black horse galloped out like an arrow, and the black dog followed them like their shadows.

The black girl suddenly jumped up from under the porch, gave a hesitant low bark, and then kept screaming. Du Mei hurriedly stepped forward to check, but found nothing abnormal, but when the black girl was too nervous, he hugged it and slowly stroked its head.

The gentle soothing calmed the black girl's mood, and it gradually became docile, its tail wagging non-stop, and its body was close to Du Mei, wanting to ask for more comfort.

Du Mei suddenly thought of Chu Lin, remembering that day he was angry with himself, and the desperate expression on his face.

"This ruthless guy, after walking for so long, doesn't report safety, what a white-eyed wolf!" Dumei talks to a brunette.

The black chick only took the black lacquer eyes and looked at her innocently.

"I built a house, and he probably didn't know it." Du Mei gloomily smoothed the hair on the black girl's back.

"Oh, I want to do what those who don't have it!" Du Mei pressed the tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingertips and said with a smile.

The house is capped, the bricklayer's work is basically over, and the doors, windows, and cabinets are the matter of Du's locks. Du Mei saw that there were still some bricks in the house, so he discussed with Qian Maolu this morning, preparing to build the kitchen and the lower room together, and then tear down the wall and rebuild it.

Qian Maolu is willing to cook at Du Mei's house, not to mention the sumptuous meals, Du Mei is not very harsh on them, the sun is too strong at noon, she always takes the initiative to let them rest before working.

It is important to know that the bricklayer's wages are calculated according to the number of days worked, and the more days of delay, the more one day of wages. Du Mei is not a fool, and Qian Maolu is not procrastinating, he always gets up early and works late.

Du Mei was planning the yard with Qian Maolu, when he saw the second stunned man coming in a hurry.

"Why did you come back so early?" Du Mei said goodbye to Qian Maolu and hurriedly walked to the side of the second stunned man.

"Meizi, Niu Er and Black Jiaolong must have had an accident! Didn't come to deliver ice today! The second stunned man ran so much that his throat was smoking, and he picked up the herbal tea and poured it violently.

"It's hot, and it's late." Although Du Mei didn't admit it, she chuckled in her heart. They didn't come to dinner last night, not without reason.

"If you leave this hour of the day, the ice will be delivered to the buyer." The second stunned man twisted his eyebrows and said.

"Plum!" Bajin screamed with a crying voice.

Bajin is more than eight feet tall, burly and strong, and weighs nearly 200 catties. Because when he was born, he weighed eight catties, so his father gave him a nickname called eight catties, in order to make a living. From childhood to adulthood, the name of Bajin is smooth, and his real name is not remembered by anyone.

Such a man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist was crying and looking at Du Mei pitifully.

"You came just in time, why didn't you send ice today?" Du Mei hurriedly stepped forward and asked him.

"I won't have ice anymore!" Eight catties squatted on the ground in pain and grabbed his hair.

"What's wrong?" Du Mei only felt terrified.

"Our boss and the black boss were arrested by the government yesterday!" Eight catties looked like a child, and two lines of tears hung on his face.

"Why?" Du Mei's eyelids jumped.

"I don't understand, I just heard that ordinary people can't sell ice." Bajin wiped his face with his sleeve.

"Who else have been arrested besides them?" Du Mei asked anxiously again.

"We were all arrested, interrogated all night, and finally the two bosses were left behind, and we were released, and I don't know why. Before leaving, Brother Niu asked me to come to you and say that only you can save them! Eight pounds looked at Du Mei with a blank eye.

"Me?" When Du Mei heard the news, his heart was in turmoil. didn't expect Niu Er to expect her to save them. She suddenly felt that she had the weight of two people on her shoulders, no, the weight of two families. 2k reading web
