118 Selection
Early the next morning, the genius was bright, and Song Haonian got up to wash his face.
The things he was going to bring with him, Lily, had already been packed the night before, and when he came with him, Lily couldn't sleep either, so she got up to make breakfast for him.
Song Haonian woke up Qingsong and had breakfast with him: "Eat enough, go to the city and be in good spirits." He hopes that his brother-in-law can be selected, and his daughter-in-law will be more confident in the future.
Song Haonian finished eating three egg cakes, and saw that Lily's appetite was not very good, so he knew that she hadn't slept enough, so he quickly persuaded her to go back to sleep: "You see that Lamei hasn't gotten up, you can sleep for a while, and it's not too late to get up again when it's dawn." ”
Lily sent Song Haonian and Qingsong out of the door, and the hired carriage was waiting outside the door, saying that it was a carriage, but it was just an old horse dragging a cart, and there was not even a tent, and it couldn't stop the sun and rain at all.
She stuffed the driver with two egg cakes, "I'd rather slow down on the road than be in a hurry, safety first." ”
Qingsong climbed into the car, and Song Haonian urged Lily to go back to sleep: "Go back quickly, look at you, it's dark under your eyes." ”
Lily was slightly angry: "It's not you who made trouble!"
If he hadn't been too hard last night, she wouldn't have slept enough this morning and yawned all the time?
Song Haonian laughed, jumped into the car, the coachman whipped the horse and drove away, they had already said that other dolls who were going to the city were waiting at the entrance of the village, and they were brought to Chen Bin together.
Lily came back, closed the door and went back to the kang to squint for a while.
The fog slowly dispersed, and he saw a group of people waiting at the entrance of the village, Qingsong waved to them excitedly, and when the carriage approached, seven or eight young men stood there and laughed, the youngest of them was only one year older than Qingsong, and his father was not at ease, so he had to follow along.
There is an unexpected Song Haojie in this group of people.
Song Haonian frowned: "What are you doing here?"
Song Haojie hippie smile: "Song Guang is not going, ask me to top his quota." ”
You don't have to think about it to know what means he and the Niu clan must have used to grab other people's places, but at this time, Song Haonian couldn't care about it, and beckoned everyone to get into the car first, so Song Guang didn't have to wait if he didn't come.
The horse is thin and the car is broken, a group of people are all young men, and they don't sit in the car all the way, some sections of the road are difficult to walk, and several people take turns to get off the car, so as to rest their horsepower. In addition to Qingsong, the youngest boy in the group is called Xu Caiwen, the two are close in age, and they are very close to each other. The older ones wanted to take care of them and not tell them to get out of the car and walk, but they said, "We still have strength, you can get in the car and rest, and then change us later."
。 ”
The two thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys all know how to get out of the car and walk, but Song Haojie is like a root on the buttocks, occupying the place motionlessly, everyone is a little unaccustomed to him, and they are afraid that he is Song Haonian's brother, so it's hard to say anything.
Others ignore him, he wants to provoke others, seeing that Qingsong and Xu Caiwen are talking and laughing, he feels that these two boys are particularly eyesore, and sneered: "Don't look at the two of you now, wait for the next son to go to the city to fight for a job, and maybe the head will hit the dog's brain." ”
The faces of the two boys were stiff, and they were a little uncomfortable looking at each other.
Song Haonian said: "Everyone is from Qingliu Town, but this time I can't choose, and there are acquaintances working in the city in the future, wouldn't it be inconvenient to come and go? ”
Song Haojie, who was alluded to as a fool, was very angry, but he was really afraid that Song Haonian would beat him again, so he had to shrink his neck and close his eyes and not mention it.
It had been two hours since the group arrived at the county seat, and Qing Song and a few others who had never been to the city all opened their mouths and looked at the tall city wall: "This is the county seat!"
Song Haonian said with a smile: "Let's all look at each other, wipe off the ashes on our faces, clean up our hair and clothes, and don't run away when we enter the city for a while, let's go see the owner." ”
He additionally instructed Qingsong and Xu Caiwen: "Qingsong follow me closely, Wenwa pulls your father." ”
On the city gate, there are two words "Taiping County", those who know the words are staring at a few words and tracing them in their hearts, and those who don't know how to read are also busy asking the people in front of them, and the appearance of a few words is firmly remembered in their hearts.
Only Song Haojie looked east and west, thief eyebrows and rat eyes, there was no time for stability.
As soon as everyone entered the city, they were greeted by a prosperous atmosphere that they had never seen before, with shops on both sides of the street, not to mention two-story buildings, but also three-storey, all kinds of wine flags and shop signs stood tall and high, simply covering the sky and the sun.
People and cars came and went on the streets, rubbing shoulders with each other, and the sound of selling and bargaining, and for a while I couldn't even hear the words clearly. Only then did Qingsong know why his brother-in-law repeatedly told him to keep up: there are so many people, if you don't follow closely, you will definitely lose it.
Song Haonian took everyone to the intersection of the south street in the county, this place is several times more prosperous than other places, one of the three-story shops is covered with a curtain, everyone knows that this is the future silk village.
Song Haonian stepped forward to say a few words to a man dressed as a man, and the man hurriedly welcomed them in, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go and invite Master Chen." Everyone stood in the shop, not daring to sit down, but quietly looking at the surroundings. The shop looks like it has only been renovated in the past few days, the wood smells of rosin and new paint, and there are still some shavings on the floor that have not been cleaned. The lobby was tall and bright, and Xu Caiwen took a breath and whispered: "
In the future, being a buddy here will not be in vain. ”
Some older people laughed at him: "According to me, being a proprietor is not in vain in the world." ”
Xu Caiwen nodded: "What you said is also right. ”
Everyone whispered this, because they were in an unfamiliar environment, they were all a little nervous, Song Haonian saw Qing Song sweating, walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid." ”
Qing Song was taken aback, and reacted that it was his eldest brother-in-law, and hurriedly smiled: "I'm just afraid of embarrassing my brother-in-law." ”
"Haha, don't worry, you can't lose it. Song Haonian thinks that Qingsong is a very good child, Chen Bin can not look at it, the one who really embarrasses him, so he will not feel ashamed.
Chen Bin's foot shop was nearby, and after a while, he came over with a few servants, and when they met, they first hugged their fists and greeted Song Haonian: "Brother Danian, thank you for your hard work!"
Song Haonian also greeted him, and asked, "Can you find the account room?"
"Thanks to your Uncle Tian, you have found a reliable and capable account office for me. "Chen Bin has a lot of means, and in the past few days, he has checked the bottom of the account room clearly, and there is a reliable shopkeeper to watch, so he can not be more assured.
Song Haonian pointed out the few people he brought to Chen Bin, only saying his name, not saying who he was.
When it came to Song Haojie, without waiting for Song Haonian to finish speaking, Song Haojie stepped forward first and said loudly: "Brother Chen is good, I am his own brother Song Haojie." ”
Chen Bin's eyes flashed, and he glanced at Song Haonian with a smile, and saw that the latter's face was red, so he continued to tell him who was behind him.
Chen Bin is the proprietor, it is impossible to personally check what kind of people everyone is, and hand over the matter to the old shopkeeper and the account office: "Let's see if they recognize the words, try how their memory is, how eloquence they are, and I will go to the side to drink tea with Brother Danian." ”
As soon as the two walked away, Song Haonian said: "Brother Chen, my brother is an unmotivated seed, you must not leave him for the sake of my face." ”
Chen Bin said: "I didn't suspect you, I just thought, you are such a capable person, why do you still call your brother fooled." ”
Song Haonian became more and more ashamed: "I have already taught him a lesson, but I am a brother, breaking bones and tendons, I can't really break his legs." Brother Chen listened to me this time, don't keep him, and don't deal with him in the future, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble. ”
He saw that Song Haojie was a troublemaker, but Chen Bin was very interested, his mind turned a few times, and he asked him again: "If your brother doesn't stay, what about your brother-in-law?"
Song Haonian was stunned: "You even know this?"
"I treat you as a brother, how can I not even know who is around you?" Chen Bin said with a smile.
Song Haonian said sincerely: "Qingsong is a clever child, if you want to see that it is suitable, you can stay, if it is not suitable, ask him to go back with me, and you don't have to look at my face in particular, in case he is lucky to stay, you can just be an ordinary buddy." ”
Chen Bin clapped his hands: "You are too sincere!"
For a while, the shopkeeper he brought from the capital came in, and solemnly replied: "I have asked one by one, there are eight people in total, five of them are literate, and the remaining three are illiterate." "One by one, although I don't know how to read, my memory is good, so that the words of the pass are not missing, and there is no change in which although I know how to read, my temperament is unruly, and I am afraid that I will not be able to manage the old shopkeeper in the future, "This brother of Song Ye, I am afraid that our store will not insult his ambition."
。 ”
Song Haonian was better, and when he heard this, his face turned red again, and he was about to speak, Chen Bin pressed him and smiled at the shopkeeper: "Don't be sarcastic about him, he doesn't want his brother to stir up the situation." ”
As he spoke, he decided on a few people, Qingsong and Xu Caiwen were among them, Song Haonian was a little worried, and asked, "These two dolls are younger, I'm just afraid of causing trouble to you." ”
The old shopkeeper was confident: "It's because you're young that you're good at teaching, and you're not young at thirteen or fourteen years old." ”
After saying that, a few people went out to the lobby, gathered everyone, and announced in front of them that there were five people left, and the old shopkeeper said: "Everyone who has worked hard to run this trip, and one person will receive ten money later, which will be regarded as hard money." Among the three people who were not selected, two of them felt that the owner was very kind, thank you and thank you, Xu Caiwen's father asked when he called his own doll to work, what things need to be prepared, the old shopkeeper said: "Someone will tell you about these things for a while." Have you eaten?
In the courtyard we cook for the craftsmen, and we tell you to cook your food too. ”
For a while, regardless of whether they were selected or not, everyone was very happy, but Song Haojie squinted at Song Haonian, and said in a strange manner: "The brothers and uncles of the four roads outside the four roads are very important, but the stumbling block squeezes their own brothers and brothers down." ”
Song Haonian's face sank: "Do you want to eat? If you don't eat, go outside and wait, and wait for the next time to go back to the town together." ”
Song Haojie snorted coldly, didn't answer, squeezed everyone out and strode out, and disappeared after a while. Song Haonian frowned, and Chen Bin smiled: "He's such a big person, and he can't lose a mile, let's go, let's have two glasses of wine with me!" A gust of wind picked up Song Haonian.
