Chapter 39: Delivering Food

The first time I rode a horse, the girl's excitement was indescribable! From the initial rejection, fear, and shyness, it slowly turned into nervousness, excitement, and happiness!

Lingwa led the horse and walked in front, laughing and teasing her as she walked,

"Hold on, we're going to go fast, go fast-"

Yinglian grabbed the saddle with both hands, her face was full of nervousness, her back was bowed, and she kept shouting:

"Don't, don't—slow down, slow down—"

"Don't be nervous, look at your back, bow like a hedgehog - clamp your legs, relax your whole body, look ahead-" Lingwa looked at her like that, and her heart was also anxious,

"Why don't I ride it up too—escort you for a lap?"

"Don't, don't—you're not allowed to come up——!"

When Yinglian heard that Lingwa wanted to ride with her, she immediately screamed in fright!

The heart is even more shy and messy, thinking that you are a man, I am a woman, there is a difference between men and women, and it is not easy to be taught, in case it is seen by others, it will be dead!

"Seeing that you can't ride, I'm sorry for you-"

"You, you—if you dare to come up, I—I'll jump down—" Yinglian said in a frightened hurry!

"Okay, okay, if you don't go up, you won't go up, what are you anxious about?" Lingwa said with a smile,

"Hold on, let's run!"

After saying that, he urged the horse to go faster and faster, and walked faster and faster, and trotted slowly - and Yinglian was frightened on the horse's back, like crazy, and screamed in panic,

The more she told Lingwa to lead the horse, the faster she ran, and joked as she ran:

"Don't bark, don't bark! Look, look, the barking horses are out of control, don't bark, I can't hold back-"

Yinglian knew that he was doing a ghost, so anxious and scared, she was so frightened that she almost cried-

After running for a long time, Lingwa slowly stopped panting, while Yinglian cried angrily on the horse's back and did not move. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Okay, come down! Don't cry - it's really a blessing! Let you ride a horse and cry ——?" Lingwa secretly laughed in her heart,

"Don't you want to come down yet, if you don't come down, this horse will get out of control again—"

"You-" When Yinglian heard this, she quickly turned over and jumped off the horse, with tears on her face, seeing that Lingwa was still laughing at her, she angrily picked up a small stone on the ground and threw it at him,

"I make you laugh, I make you laugh - I've never seen someone as bad as you!"

Lingwa gently dodged her little stone, still smiling and asked:

"How's it fun? Do you want to ride it again? If you miss today, you won't have it tomorrow - haha!"

"Don't ride, don't ride again-" Yinglian said angrily, then wiped the tears on her face, tidied up her clothes, picked up the back basket next to her, picked up the sickle on the ground, and walked away without looking back!

When Lingwa saw that she was angry and left, she didn't laugh anymore, and said loudly in the back:

"Lie to you, there's still tomorrow - practice again tomorrow, let's go slower, okay?"

Yinglian didn't reply to him, and still walked forward, but her heart was still happy, and she was beautiful! The big girl rode a high-headed horse for the first time, how can she say that she has set a record, can she not be excited?

——

When Yinglian returned home, she happened to meet a family member of the Wanjia compound who came to visit on horseback, so she hid from afar to watch, only to see that the man got off the horse at the door, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he shouted loudly, calling her father's name!

Soon I saw her father open the door and come out, and when he saw the person who came, he seemed to be very familiar with him, and greeted him warmly, and the two of them didn't say a word in the courtyard, so her father followed the person out, got on the other party's horse, and ran to the town—

Yinglian wondered, I don't know why? But looking like that, shouldn't it be a bad thing? Thinking about the things of adults, we children still can't guess it, can't think of it, don't think about it!

——

Wan Changgen rode lightly with the young man, and after a while, he ran to the gate of the Wanjia compound.

But now there are two gates in the Wanjia compound, one is the old gate, and the other is the new gate newly built by Wanjinbao! The two gates stand next to each other, and a small alley is left between the two high walls.

The carved dragon and phoenix that is also built, the golden wall is brilliant, and it makes people look domineering at a glance!

They entered the new gate of Wan Jinbao, Wan Changgen's shabby figure, reflected even thinner under the gorgeous house, into the courtyard, saw that there were already a lot of people inside, a few were carpenters in the town, Wan Changgen recognized, there was a small table in the courtyard, there were a few large bowls of tea on the table, Wan Jinbao sat lazily on the side, his expression was cold, as if he had not come out of the shadow of the spirit baby?!

"Uh, sit!" Wan Jinbao greeted Wan Changgen coldly.

Wan Changgen stepped forward with a smile on his face, also greeted the people around him, and then sat respectfully at the small table. As soon as I sat down for a while, I saw that no one around me was sitting, and I was embarrassed to stand up, so I said politely:

"I'd better stand and talk—what does the uncle command? Just speak!"

"Make me two hundred chairs! one hundred large ones with rings, and a hundred small ones without rings!" Wan Jinbao continued to say coldly,

"Find Steward Wang for the material fee in the early stage, and the salary will be calculated together later!

As soon as Wan Changgen heard that he was going to make 200 chairs! For a while, his brain was active, and he thought that this was a big job, and that he and his wife had to do it for a few months! When they were done, it was the New Year, and when they thought of the New Year, they had earned a lot of money, and they could have a good New Year! But when they thought of money, it was not good to bargain with him? I don't know how much he could give? Hey, since the uncle personally ordered it, I have to do it if I don't do it? I guess I won't treat me badly, right?

So he nodded again and again: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, don't worry, uncle-there's no problem! The villain will finish it as soon as possible, hehe!"

Wan Jinbao glanced at him, took a sip of tea, and then stretched out his fat hand and pointed at everyone,

"You all have memorized it! Find Steward Wang for the advance material fee, and then settle the salary - it must be completed with quality and quantity, if something goes wrong in the middle, I can first say the ugly thing before - it's not over with you!"

After everyone heard this, they all nodded, he saw that everyone had no opinions, and waved his hand again,

"That's it, get busy, hurry up, the sooner the better!"

Although everyone had a lot of thoughts in their hearts, they didn't dare to show their faces, all of them smiled, and discussed in a whisper and followed a housekeeper surnamed Wang to the backyard, and Wan Changgen also followed behind the crowd and entered the backyard.

Later, after quietly inquiring, Wan Changgen learned that Wan Jinbao originally wanted to build a large "gathering hall" on the training ground next to his compound!

When I came back in the evening to talk to Yinglian's mother, Yinglian's mother was not very happy, and said reluctantly:

"So many chairs to make for a few months, and you know how much money he can give when it's done? It's like a mouse and a cat working, it's good to be able to save your life, and you still expect him to give how much money?"

"Since he personally called it, he can't do it if he doesn't do it! Let's do it first, it is estimated that he has money in his family, and he will not treat us badly - strive to finish it before the year, and our family can still have a good year! Haha!"

"That's not uncommon for him to have money! I'm still willing to do our small business, one by one, and my heart is steady!"

"Okay, it's all promised! Don't think about it so much, just do it! Go back and ask Yinglian to deliver food at noon, and we'll eat at home in the morning and evening - I'm ready to clean up and go to work tomorrow!"

"This is good, not only the two of us, but also the children?

"Okay, okay, I told you not to think so much, you didn't do all the bad luck? You said something auspicious, okay? Yinglian is not small, thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, send some food will not be difficult for her!"

Changgen is confident, but Yinglian's mother has a lot of concerns, she also knows that she has to do what she promised to other people's families, and she has to do it, and it is still called by the courtyard of ten thousand families, and she has to admit her bad luck!

And Yinglian sat in a corner playing with her little brother, and she heard everything clearly-

Early the next morning, the Changgen couple got up early, Yinglian's mother cooked, served the children, and told Yinglian what to cook at noon, what to use, how to take care of the younger brother, how to ask the neighbors for help if there was something, how to go on the way, and explain it one by one. Changgen packed up his tools, sharpened his knives and oiled, and was fully equipped!

After finishing breakfast, the two couples went out with their tools on their shoulders and walked to the Wanjia compound in the center of the town.

The first time she delivered food, Yinglian was so nervous that she was jumping. I have never been to the Wanjia compound alone when I am so big! Every time I pass by with an adult, I hear the wolf dog inside, Wangwang, and the roar of a lion, I am terrified, let alone go alone? I don't know if it is a copper wall and an iron arm, or a hell and a hell palace? Unfathomable——

Fortunately, my mother confessed that I didn't enter the compound, but walked to an empty compound at the end of the two courtyards, and I saw it, and called the keeper to open the door, saying that it was to deliver food, and they let it in!

As soon as she sent her parents away, not long after returning to the house, Yinglian heard a whistle outside, and she knew that it was Lingwa without even thinking about it!

Yinglian stepped forward and whispered to him:

"I'm not going to mow the grass today—there's something, let's go!" he said and wanted to turn around and go back to the house.

"Why? Didn't you say yes yesterday? I'll do it for you—" Lingwa was disappointed when she heard this.

"Oh, you go quickly, don't let people see it-I said, I have something to do, I'm going to be busy-" Yinglian saw that he didn't finish asking, and she was in no mood to pay attention to him anymore, for fear that the next door would see it and have a tongue behind her back, so she just turned around and went back to the house.

Lingwa watched her back flash into the house, and then the door creaked shut, just now she was still full of spirit, deflated, stood for a while and couldn't do anything, sighed, and thought, if you want to ride in the future, I won't teach you yet, hum-

Yinglian was busy cooking at home all morning, the little girl was ingenious, although there was no big fish and meat, but a few fruits and vegetables in her hands, and the color, flavor and flavor of cooking were very exquisite!

Then she fed her brother some food first, and then found a bamboo basket, carefully wrapped it, covered it, and before noon, she was ready to go out.

Coax my little brother at home, close the door, my family is a bamboo craftsman, the basket made by my father is not big or small, and it is just right to hold a few large bowls of rice, and it is handy to carry it in my hand, and I feel decent when I walk on the street.

Yinglian only cares about walking fast in the town, no matter how beautiful and attractive the things you sell on the street, no matter how many people there are, no matter how lively they are, they can't stop her at all, she always feels so embarrassed, shy, as if everyone is looking at her!

After walking for less than half an hour, I unconsciously looked up and saw the high wall of the Wanjia compound, and I remembered my mother's words and kept moving forward. Walking through the two golden courtyard gates, walking to the bend of the high wall, I saw a large open space in front of me, a courtyard made of wood, and there was a small wooden house at the courtyard gate, and the sound of craftsmen chopping wood came from it.

When she arrived, Yinglian couldn't help but feel a little nervous in her heart! Thinking that her parents were working in it, there was nothing to be afraid of, so she emboldened herself a little, and then walked towards the cabin.

This rough wooden compound is the practice ground built by Wan Jinbao, there are several mud walls in the courtyard, there are horse sheds for tying horses, forage sheds, all kinds of practice equipment are erected in the courtyard, knives, guns and sticks are everywhere, although the construction is crude, without decoration, but ordinary people are strictly forbidden to enter, 24 hours are guarded by family members, in the eyes of outsiders is a secret place.

The door nailed to the wooden compartment, with a large iron lock the size of a horse's hoof hanging in the middle of the gate, and the gate is hidden—

The entire wooden compound may have been exposed for many years, exposed to the sun and rain for a long time, revealing a gray, old, like an old man in the twilight!

Yinglian walked to the door and knocked on the wooden door carefully, but there was no reaction in the wooden house next to her?

I couldn't help but be anxious, thinking about what to do now? I was embarrassed to shout loudly, or knock on the door with a heavy fist, a girl, the first time to this kind of pure master to play, I didn't have the courage to die!

But listening to someone talking loudly in the inner courtyard, thinking that my parents are inside, how can I get in?

When he was in a hurry, suddenly the door opened with a bang, and he saw an eighteen or nineteen-year-old young man standing at the door menacingly, and the frightened Yinglian hurriedly stepped aside, looking at him helplessly!

"Hey, little girl?" the young man was dressed in gray and white clothes and trousers, full of dust, and when he saw a dignified little girl at the door, he immediately smiled.

"What are you doing, little girl??Who??Are you looking for me?hehe-"

"Find me—Mom and Dad!" said Yinglian, blushing with shame, plucking up her courage and timidity.

"Oh, your parents, it doesn't seem to be your parents here, they're looking for me, aren't they?" hehe, tell me, what are you looking for——?" The guy looked at Yinglian's red dress and black dress, with a flower and moon appearance, like a fairy, and he was a little uncontrollable enthusiasm!

Just when Yinglian was embarrassed, a young man in his twenties appeared at the door, holding a long stick in his hand, and shouted at the guy next to the door:

"What are you doing, dog? Uncle told you to go back and lead the horse, and you ran out to tease the woman—didn't you owe a beating?"

When the guy heard this, he quickly put away his smiling face, glanced at the guy with the stick, didn't say a word, and ran in again.

"Who are you?" asked Yinglian, the stick boy.

"For my mom and dad - the one who delivered the food—" Yinglian was still ashamed.

"Who are your parents?"

"The one who made the chair—" Yinglian had never said her parents' names outside, thinking that it was a great rebellion and could not be spoken.

"Oh, what's the name of Long Root, right?"

Yinglian nodded!

"Oh, you're their daughter?"

Yinglian nodded again, looking at the kid looking at herself without blinking, and she was ashamed that she couldn't go underground, so she buried her head deeply, and didn't dare to say more.

"It's so good-looking, you!No wonder that kid doesn't want to leave—what kind of food is being delivered? Can you take a look?" the stick boy put the stick aside, and was about to step forward to talk to Yinglian further.

was so frightened that Yinglian retreated again and again and refused to show him.

The young man was just about to speak, when he suddenly heard a neighing of a horse in the courtyard, and he came back to his senses, hurriedly picked up his stick, and stood back by the cabin. Immediately followed by a tall black horse, he rushed out of the courtyard with high spirits, and immediately sat a big man in black, who was Wan Jinbao!

Seeing this, Yinglian was frightened and retreated far away again and again!

"What does she do?"

"Uncle Bao, I just asked, it's for food!"

"Deliver food to whom?"

"Report to the uncle, send food to the bamboo craftsman Wan Changgen who makes chairs!"

"Oh, it's the daughter of the Changgen family?"

Wan Jinbao held a horsewhip in his hand, and saw Yinglian's red dress and black dress, with a well-proportioned figure, although he buried his head very low, he still showed an infinitely soft posture, and his heart suddenly itched, changed his tone, and pointed at Yinglian Dao:

"The little girl is really the one who delivers food, what's her name, how old is she this year?"

After a series of aggressive pressure from several men, Yinglian was ashamed and afraid, her heart was like numbness, and she was trembling all over, where did she dare to raise her head and reply! Not to mention the legendary master of the Wan family, who asked condescendingly-

"Oh, I'm sorry to say, okay, don't ask, let's go in!" Seeing the little girl's embarrassed look, Wan Jinbao didn't want to embarrass her anymore, and instructed his subordinates,

"In the future, she will deliver food, put it in directly, don't say any more, and interrogate for no reason - do you hear clearly!"

Several people present at the gate responded and said, yes!

After saying that, Wan Jinbao kicked the horse's belly, and the black horse ran away, followed by three skinny brown horses, and three family members rode on them.

Seeing that Wan Jinbao was gone, the guy at the door called Yinglian: "Quick, quick, come in, your parents are over there-"

Yinglian raised her head and hurriedly walked in!
