Chapter 36 The Caravan is to be transferred
After the Dragon Boat Festival, Du Hongyu never went to Wanliang for several days. Wanliang's life is still the same as before, she went out with Aunt Niu in the morning, listened to Ah Niu's wordy words at the fork in the road, and then went to Xiuzhuang with her mother, and in the afternoon Uncle Wang sent her and her back to Dujiabao.
Ah Niu still returned to Dujiabao every night, so he went straight to "Lulan Garden" to see Sister Xiaowan and eat the food that Sister Xiaowan specially left for him, which was also the happiest and most satisfying thing for Ah Niu during this time. However, the good times were short-lived. On the ninth day after the Dragon Boat Festival, after he parted ways with Xiaowan's sister as usual, he went straight to the rice shop, and was about to carry the rice, but the shopkeeper suddenly called him and said, "Your name is Ah Niu?" ”
"Yes. Shopkeeper, what's wrong? Ah Niu wondered.
"Ah Niu, from today onwards, you don't have to work in the rice shop, the above has already transferred you to the caravan in Dujiabao. After that, you just follow the caravan to escort the goods. When the caravan comes to Rammy, you can just go with them. The shopkeeper said to Ah Niu.
"Shopkeeper, what is a caravan?" Ah Niu asked suspiciously.
"Caravans are dedicated to sending goods to other places. It is easier to do things with a caravan than to do chores in a rice shop, that is, to stay outside for a long time, and follow the caravan for food and accommodation. The shopkeeper patiently explained. The shopkeeper's impression of Ah Niu is not bad, the young man can bear hardships and stand hard work, work diligently, do not steal and play tricks, and does not talk much, no matter how hard and tired he is, he has never heard him complain.
"Stay outside a lot...... Then I don't often see Sister Xiaowan! Ah Niu heard what the shopkeeper said, so he pondered in his heart. Suddenly, Ah Niu begged the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, I just want to work in the rice shop, I don't want to go to any caravan!" Shopkeeper, will you let me continue to stay in the rice shop and do things? ”
"This ...... The person from above said just now that you have been arranged to go to the caravan to do things, which may be the meaning of the castle owner. I'm also working for the lord of the castle, and I can't be the lord either. You're young, so it's good to follow the caravan to the outside and see the world! The shopkeeper said honestly.
"However, I don't want to see the world, so I want to help in the rice shop. Shopkeeper, can you help me talk to the castle master? The shopkeeper begs you, can you help me talk about it? Ah Niu continued to plead with the shopkeeper.
"This ...... All right. Then you go to work first, and when the people from the caravan come, I will tell them that you want to continue to work in the rice shop and see if you can change someone else to the caravan. The shopkeeper saw that Ah Niu really wanted to stay in the rice shop to work, and he also liked this honest young man, so he agreed to him. In fact, he can only help him talk to the above, and he has no final decision.
"Thank you, shopkeeper! Thank you, shopkeeper! I'm going to do a good job. Ah Niu was sincerely grateful. He thought that the shopkeeper promised to keep him, and he would be able to continue to stay in the rice shop, so he relaxed and started to do things with peace of mind.
"I can only help you talk about it. Whether you can continue to stay in the rice shop and do things depends on the meaning of the above. The shopkeeper said honestly.
However, the next day, the shopkeeper called Ah Niu, who went to work in the rice shop, again and said, "Ah Niu, the shopkeeper can't help you." As mentioned above, if you don't go to the caravan to do things, you won't use the rice shop to do things. In fact, you go to work with the caravan, you have the same salary, food and shelter follow the caravan, and you can see the world everywhere. As long as you endure hardship, where do things differently? ”
This time, Ren Aniu begged again and again, but the shopkeeper failed to agree to him, leaving him to continue to work in the rice shop. It's not that the shopkeeper is ruthless, it's true that the shopkeeper can't be the master.
In the end, Ah Niu, who was unwilling to go to the caravan and could not continue to stay in the rice shop, came to Wanliang's account room. "Sister Xiaowan......" Ah Niu walked into Wanliang's account room in frustration, and saw that she was burying her head in earnest, and shouted softly in frustration.
"Brother Niu? What are you doing here? Didn't work in the rice shop today? Wanliang seemed to hear Ah Niu calling her, and when she turned her head, she saw that Ah Niu was really standing in the account room.
"No, it's the shopkeeper who said that the lord of the castle has transferred me to the caravan to work, so he won't let me continue to work in the rice shop. Sister Xiaowan, I don't want to go to the caravan! The shopkeeper said that when he was doing things with the caravan, he often stayed outside and ran around. Sister Xiaowan, I don't want to stay outside often, I just want to work in the rice shop, and I can go back to Dujiabao every day......" Ah Niu told Wanliang in a hurry, and her expression was like a little daughter-in-law who had been wronged, complaining and aggrieved.
"Brother Niu, don't worry. When I go back in the afternoon, I'll talk to Uncle Du to see if I can let you continue to stay in the rice shop to work. After listening to Ah Niu's confession, Wanliang hurriedly comforted him softly.
"Good! Thank you, Sister Xiaowan! Ah Niu instantly turned his worries into joy. Ah Niu is actually a person who is very easy to satisfy. Thinking that he didn't have to go to the caravan, he could still see Sister Xiaowan every day, and eat the meals that Sister Xiaowan left for him, he was really happy, and he was willing to live with Sister Xiaowan like this for the rest of his life.
"Brother Niu, it's okay. You sit in the account room for a while, and we'll go to the dining hall for dinner together at noon. Wan Liang said softly.
"Okay, Sister Xiaowan." Ah Niu replied happily. Then, just like waiting for Wan Liang in the account room before, he sat silently and watched her busy stupidly.
Soon, it was noon, and the eldest mother also knew about Ah Niu's transfer to the caravan. The eldest lady also disapproves of Ah Niu running around with the caravan, he is such a son as Ah Niu, how can he bear not to see him often. For ordinary people like the eldest mother, life is stable. Glory and wealth dare not be extravagant, as long as the family can be reunited, life is plain, and it is good to be simple.
After having lunch, Ah Niu finally saw Uncle Wang in Wanliang's mouth. Ah Niu guessed correctly, it was during the time when he was doing chores in Xiuzhuang, he patiently taught him to identify the varieties of cloth, and Uncle Wang, who was enthusiastic and patient. Therefore, Ah Niu also has the same idea as Wanliang, and very much hopes that the good deeds of his mother and Uncle Wang can come true. Ah Niu knows better than anyone that his mother has raised him alone since he was five years old, which is not easy! Niang has been a person for so many years, and now that Niang has finally met her fate, of course he is happy for his mother.
In the afternoon, although the eldest mother repeatedly told Uncle Wang that Ah Niu accompanied her and Wanliang back today, so that he didn't need to send it. However, Uncle Wang insisted that he was used to it, and he was not sure to send his aunt back to Dujiabao, and said that Xiuzhuang was not far from Dujiabao, and he didn't care about taking these few more steps. In the end, they returned to Dujiabao accompanied by Uncle Wang.
Uncle Wang's thoughtfulness towards the eldest mother made Wanliang and Ah Niu add points to him in their hearts at the same time, and even agreed with both hands that the eldest mother and Uncle Wang could achieve positive results as soon as possible and tie the knot.
Today, it is rare for Ah Niu to come back together, and Wan Liang asked the eldest lady and Ah Niu to have dinner together in "Lulan Garden". Anyway, four dishes and one soup are enough for the three of them to eat, so they only need to ask Xi'er to make two more meals and two more pairs of bowls and chopsticks.
With a good dinner, Wanliang chatted with the eldest lady Ah Niu for a while. Xi'er inquired and came back and said that the Lord of Dubao had returned. So, Wanliang gently comforted the eldest mother and Ah Niu: "Auntie, Brother Ah Niu, don't worry. I went to tell Uncle Du that Brother Niu wanted to continue to work in the rice shop, and told him not to transfer Brother Niu to the caravan. ”
Soon, Wanliang came to Du Yi's study, "Expo Zhai", and met Du Yi.
"Ying'er, sit. What's the matter with Uncle Du? Du Yi saw Wan Liang knocking on the door and asked with concern.
"Uncle Du, Ying'er really has something to ask for." Wan Liang went straight to the point.
"Ying'er, don't worry. If there's anything, sit down and talk slowly. Uncle Du will do his best to help you. Du Yi said kindly.
"Thank you, Uncle Du. Uncle Du, in fact, it's not a big deal, it's just that Brother Niu doesn't want to go to the caravan to do things, so he wants to continue to stay in the rice shop to work, and begs Uncle Du not to transfer Brother Niu to the caravan. Wan Liang pleaded with a little pleading.
"Ying'er, you are talking about Brother Niu, but the young man who came with you?" Du Yi was a little confused, he remembered, it seems that since the three of them were specially arranged in Xiuzhuang, and the shopkeeper was specially instructed not to make things difficult for them, and then, he didn't care about them anymore. What caravan to transfer? The caravan was full of kung fu people, and this was to prevent someone from robbing the goods. Besides, the caravan is not short of manpower now, even if it lacks manpower, it will recruit martial arts outside, how can it go to Xiuzhuang to transfer people?
"Yes, Uncle Dub. begged Uncle Du not to transfer Brother Niu to the caravan, Brother Niu said that he wanted to continue to work in the rice shop, and the eldest mother had a son with Brother Niu, and he didn't want to be separated from Brother Niu all year round. Wan Liang continued to beg.
"Rice shop? Ying'er, I'm a little confused, didn't I arrange for you to do things in Xiuzhuang? How do you say it's a rice shop? I didn't send him to the caravan, did I? ......" Du Yi said this, and seemed to understand a little, maybe it was arranged by Yu'er. Now most of the family business, he has handed it over to Yu'er to take care of. Of course, Yu'er did not disappoint him, even beyond his imagination, and took care of the family business very well! I just don't know why Yu'er did this? If it is because Yu'er is interesting to Ying'er, then it is even more important for her relatives to take care of her! After thinking about it, I didn't understand why Yu'er did this.
"Uncle Du, you said you didn't transfer Brother Niu to the caravan?" Wan Liang also seemed to have some reactions, it must be a good thing that Du Hongyu did!
"Ying'er, don't worry, Uncle Du will arrange it according to your wishes." Du Yi promised.
"Thank you, Uncle Du! With Uncle Du's words, Ying'er was relieved. Uncle Du, Ying'er has nothing else to do, so Ying'er will go back first. Uncle Du rested early. Wanliang said gratefully. She had to hurry back to "Lulan Garden" to tell the good news to the aunt and Brother A Niu who were waiting for her good news, so that they could rest assured.
"Okay, let's go back." Du Yi said kindly.
After Wanliang walked out of the "Expo Zhai", not long after, Du Yi also instructed the housekeeper to invite Du Hongyu.
"Dad, what are you looking for me?" Since the reunion during the Dragon Boat Festival, the father-son relationship between Du Yi and Du Hongyu has indeed eased a lot, at least Du Hongyu is finally willing to call him dad again after the Dragon Boat Festival.
"Yu'er, you've done a very good job during this time! Dad was also very pleased. Du Yi praised sincerely. Suddenly, he changed the topic and asked, "Yu'er, have you transferred a person named Ah Niu to the caravan?" ”
"I tuned it. It's just a miscellaneous one. The moment Du Yi mentioned Ah Niu, Du Hongyu's face suddenly pulled down, his watery black eyes were all cold, and his tone was very disdainful, but it made people hear a trace of jealousy.
"Yu'er, our caravan is full of people who know martial arts, why did you transfer a handyman to do it? Besides, Ying'er came to beg me just now, don't transfer him to the caravan. Du Yi is gentle and authentic.
"Who is Ying'er? What's the matter with her? I'm going to transfer that miscellaneous guy to the caravan, so that he doesn't have to stay in the fort and be an eyesore!" Eyesores! Du Hongyu said hatefully, his dark eyes were full of resentment, and there was inexplicable jealousy. As soon as he thought of Wan Liang's partiality and maintenance of that miscellaneous work, his heart was itching with anger! Why does he care so much about all of her miscellaneous things! However, she has never been dismissive of herself! Isn't he as good as a handyman! She's so nice!
"Ying'er is here to join our Du family's Wanliang. Her grandfather was kind to her father and saved his father's life. And that pair of mother and son also has a life-saving grace for Ying'er, so Yu'er, you promised Ying'er, don't separate the mother and son. If he is willing to work in the rice shop, let him work in the rice shop, and it won't get in your way. Du Yi patiently persuaded.
"Dad, you mean...... That miscellaneous is Wanliang's benefactor? When Du Hongyu heard Du Yi say this, his black eyes suddenly became shining, as bright as stars, and the resentment on his face turned into surprise, and he hurriedly asked ecstatically. Then, I pondered in my heart that because he was Wanliang's benefactor, Wanliang was so good to him. Therefore, Wanliang actually doesn't like him, and he is not Wanliang's friend. That's great! That's great!
"Yes, that's what Ying'er told her father." Du Yi said kindly. Du Yi's deep eyes carefully swept his son's expression, so it became clear in his heart that Yu'er regarded Ah Niu as a rival in love, so Yu'er's actions were not difficult to understand.
"Good. Dad, I promise you that I won't transfer him to the caravan. Father, if nothing else, the child will go back. Du Hongyu was suddenly in a good mood, and even his voice was mixed with a bit of pleasure.
"Well, it's okay, you can go back." Du Yi is kind and authentic. He was also happy in his heart, Yu'er was already twenty-five years old, he should have married a wife and had children, and he wanted to be a grandfather a long time ago. Through the observation of the past few months, Wanliang is a very good girl, and it is also a beautiful thing for Yu'er to marry her.
