Chapter 121: Deliver Water
As soon as the car delivering water drove up the ridge, it attracted attention. The ox cart pulls two large wooden barrels, is this going to be like that?
Someone was curious and asked, "Brother Ye Xi, what are you?" ”
Ye Xi smiled: "Bring you water, do you want to drink it?" ”
The man thought he was joking, and said with a smile: "Drink, Brother Ye Xi gave it, I have to drink it, and I have to drink two scoops if I am not thirsty." ”
Ye Xi shook the reins and drove the ox cart to his land, "Drink it, hurry up and get the guy!" ”
"Really?" The man couldn't believe it, and came over with a scythe, and it was steaming, wasn't it water? "Oh, Brother Ye, are you really sending water? I've run out of water with me, no, I'll have to fill a pot. ”
Ye Xi smiled: "Then why don't you hurry up and get the kettle, what are you doing standing stupidly?" ”
The man was not angry, he walked away with a smile, walked a few steps, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Everyone hurry up and scoop up the water, the owner has sent someone to bring us water." ”
Suddenly, the busy people in this area were all alarmed by him, and asked gossips: "It's really fake, isn't it teasing us?" "I can't believe it.
Yunxi stabbed Yunkai, "Stand up and shout twice!" ”
Yunkai was not very angry this time, not only was he not angry, but he was also a little excited, he was stabbed by Yunxi, and he shouted on the ox cart, "All come to drink water, all come to drink water, don't need money to send water for free, the thirsty hurry up." ”
"Really?"
"It should be, what the proprietor Xiao Langjun said can be false?"
"Oh, then I have to taste it, to see if the water in the owner's house is sweeter than mine?"
Several people understood when they heard it, and then saw that the person who was shouting just now was already carrying a kettle to scoop water out, and he hurriedly carried his own empty kettle to add water.
As a result, Yunxi's ox cart was not half gone, and the water was gone, so they had to turn around and go home.
"It's getting dark tonight, wait, there's tomorrow, there's tomorrow."
Without waiting for Yunxi to speak, Yunkai shouted that he would send water tomorrow, and the tenants' words of thanks made him a little enthusiastic, and he said that he would continue to deliver water tomorrow, as if the person who complained about Lianlian just now was not him.
Not only did he not complain, but he also took the initiative to come up with an idea, "Second sister, will we add some sugar to the water tomorrow, you see how tired they are, they must have a lot of strength to drink some sugar tea." ”
"It's not okay to add sugar, but you can boil chrysanthemum water." Yunxi Road. It's really not that she's stingy, sugar is too expensive these days, and the sweetness is much worse than that of later generations, a big bucket of water town has to taste the sweetness, I'm afraid it won't be a catty, right? Today is late, so I will send these two barrels, if you send more than ten or twenty barrels a day, and wait for the wheat to be harvested, it will cost dozens of taels of silver, that is not good, it is too luxurious.
"Chrysanthemum water is fine." Yun Kai smiled, "As long as it's not white water, we're the owner, and we have to show the difference if we send water, right?" ”
Yuanyuan continued: "The chrysanthemum water is good, we have a lot of dried chrysanthemums, and it doesn't cost money to pick them on the mountain." ”
The four of them talked and discussed with a smile, and Ye Yong drove the ox cart slowly and leisurely, breaking the tense atmosphere of the wheat harvest.
"It's good to be the owner, look at how beautiful people are." There was a sweaty boy who looked in the direction of the ox cart with envy.
The young man's father said sullenly: "Do your job, what's the use of envy, there's no life." ”
The young man was dissatisfied, "Every day without this life, without that life, I don't believe in that evil!" I ......"
"Zhuzi, you don't believe in evil, is it possible that you will be a big proprietor in the future? Oops, I'm laughing to death! Before the young man could finish his words, he drew ridicule from the neighbors.
"How good it is that the pillar has ambition, you want to hit others, if it happens, your second uncle will not be able to get clean." A yin and yang strange female voice followed, it was the young man's aunt.
"Good, good, don't hit, don't hit." The second uncle of the pillar smiled and raised his voice: "Come on, the pillar, the second uncle is waiting to enjoy your blessings!" Haha......"
Zhuzi's face turned red, and he wanted to open his mouth to refute a few words, but his father glared back. The young man couldn't, so he turned his grief and anger into strength and viciously killed the wheat.
Yunxi and the others didn't know about this little episode, they were returning home, excitedly reporting the results of their actions to Ye Yuanlin, and naturally received great praise from the two, even Yunjin gave a rare smile of approval.
"Eldest sister, do you want to come with us?" Yunxi asked, Yunjin's smile gave her the courage to immediately hit the snake with the stick. She felt that Yun Jin was just too brainy, and she should be allowed to do some work, do some manual labor, and contact more people, so that she wouldn't think about it. It's like He Yunniang, when she first came, she thought about it all day long, she didn't have any energy, and when she had work to do, she couldn't sleep well at night, and she was still full of energy, as if she had been beaten with chicken blood!
Therefore, a person is a bit of a scumbag, and only mental work cannot make him happy, but he must also properly carry out some physical work, often move his limbs, and strain his muscles and bones, so that his spirit can get a real rest.
"Forget it, I still have to stay at home with my mother!" Yun Jin said, "Mother can't leave people now." ”
Seeing that Yunjin was not so resolute in refusing, Yunxi immediately said: "I can do it for you, and my father can do it for you, and Yunxiao, and my uncle, and my grandfather." Yunxi named the people who could replace Yunjin one by one in one go, and everyone who heard it responded and agreed.
Ye Yuan said with a smile: "Jin'er doesn't have to go every time, it's not bad to go down and relax occasionally." ”
Lin also persuaded, "I can do it without your accompaniment, isn't there still Chunlan?" ”
"Alright then, I'll go with you tomorrow." Yun Jin saw that everyone looked like they were pushing her out together, so she had to agree.
Seeing that she agreed, Yunxi had to inch in, ran to her side, hugged this stern beautiful girl sister, and said coquettishly: "That sister, can you be our leader?" We'll all listen to you, right, Yunkai? ”
Yun Kai nodded hurriedly and said obediently: "The eldest sister is the leader, I am naturally obedient, and I will say it again." ”
Looking at his flattering appearance, Yunxi was depressed for a while, and when she was boiling water in the afternoon, she muttered in protest in front of her, and it was the eldest sister's turn to have this expression, this is really more popular than people! I just have no majesty, Yunxi reflected on himself for the first time, is it too good for Yunkai, I don't know how to respect this second sister, even if I am only one year older, it is also a sister, isn't it?
Yun Kai felt a chill coming, and when he turned his eyes, Yun Xi was staring at him with an unkind expression, as if he was thinking about something bad, and suddenly snorted. Immediately after that, he came back to his senses and stuck out his tongue and made a grimace to demonstrate.
Yunxi opened his mouth and silently spit out two words: "Wait." ”
The next day, with the addition of Yunjin, things became more orderly, and the boiling water delivery was orderly. Tenants don't need to boil water anymore, they just need to bring their own kettles and tea bowls.
After a few days, the owner was kind, and the words of the owner's brothers and sisters who also knew how to be considerate spread out. This made Ye Yuan and the Lin family overjoyed, because reputation was very important to anyone in ancient times.
