Chapter 198: Warehouse Fire
In the courtyard of the old mansion, Wang Er stood in front of everyone with his hands rubbed uneasily, and he couldn't think of how to turn his advantages into convincing arguments after racking his brains.
"Forget it."
He began to give up.
Wang Xiaohua stepped forward angrily and slapped her, "It's a fart, let me tell you that since you shopkeepers are optimistic about you, you will do a good job for me, and I will be Mrs. Lizheng." ”
Xu Xiaoxiao, Zhao shopkeeper, Huang shopkeeper, and Liu Qiaoer sat in a row waiting for Wang Er's speech in the election.
Maybe Wang Er had never passed by so positively, so that he was completely out of shape, and he stammered all morning by talking angrily.
In a blink of an eye, he came to the point of eating, and seeing that everyone was hungry, he had to let Wang Er rest first and eat the meal.
Wang Xiaohua was cooking sadly, she felt that he was a rare talent since she saw Wang Er, how to look at it and how to like it, and now she finally has a noble person to assist.
will soon be in a high position, looking at Wang Er's aggrieved appearance, she feels uncomfortable.
"Forget it."
Xu Xiaoxiao was holding the dumplings on the side, and turned her head blankly, "What?" ”
"Big shopkeeper, I think Wang Er may not really be the material to be a good man, or forget it." Wang Xiaohua also figured out that as long as their family is happy, it doesn't matter if it's not.
Xu Xiaoxiao originally wanted to support Wang Er, since Wang Xiaohua felt sorry for her, she couldn't be reluctant, "Okay, it's okay, we just suggest, if you really don't like it, then do something else." ”
Wang Xiaohua felt that she was too selfish, and she ruined the kindness of several shopkeepers, she flattened her mouth, her eyes were full of tears, "Big shopkeeper, you won't blame me." ”
"My stupid eldest sister, how can I blame you, our suggestions and your decisions are all for the sake of Wang Er's good." Xu Xiaoxiao heard Wang Xiao's choked voice, and quickly stopped her movements to wipe away her tears.
Just as the two confided in each other, in the corner they didn't see, Wang Er was hiding outside the door eavesdropping, he clenched his fists in annoyance and bit his lower lip fiercely.
It's time for him to take on the responsibility of the family, and it has always been Xiaohua who has been worried about the family, and has never forced him to do anything, whether it has been or is now.
Thinking of this, he made a resolute decision, he must be a lizheng and let Xiaohua live a good life.
At dusk, everyone ate and sent Zhao and Wang to leave Wangjia Village.
On the way back, Wang Xiaohua comfortably put her arm around Wang Er, rested her head on her shoulder, and enjoyed the time between the two with satisfaction.
"Xiaohua, will you blame me?" Wang Er stepped on the dirt road with a heavy heart.
Wang Xiaohua raised her head in astonishment, "Blame you?" What do you blame? ”
"Blame me for being useless, I can't give you the life you want, and even the title deed is taken back with the help of the big shopkeeper." When it comes to the matter of the title deed, Wang Er is extremely ashamed in his heart, once he may have promised to help Xiaohua get the title deed back, but in the end he still couldn't do it.
"I thought you were talking about something? I blame you, but you're my pick. Wang Xiaohua pinched Wang Er's ear beads and laughed.
The two frolicked towards each other's old house, and as they passed the barnyard, they noticed smoke rising from the warehouse.
The pungent smell of burnt dust came with a gentle breeze, and fine black dust drifted out of the warehouse.
Wang Er turned around in panic and shouted, "Oh no, the warehouse is on fire." ”
Xu Xiaoxiao and Liu Qiaoer, who were enjoying the peaceful time at this time, ran forward in a panic after hearing Wang Er's voice.
"What's wrong?"
"It's on fire." Wang Er pulled Wang Xiaohua to the edge of the grass, "You stay here, don't go in, I'll call someone to put out the fire." ”
Wang Xiaohua took Wang Er's hand and didn't let go, "No, I want to be with you, I don't want to be separated from you." ”
"Don't make a mess, stay here." After Wang Er pacified Wang Xiaohua, he walked towards the village.
Xu Xiaoxiao and Liu Qiao'er looked at each other, Liu Qiao'er immediately understood, she came to Wang Xiaohua, "Xiaohua, you are here to stay, someone comes over and you shout." ”
Wang Xiaohua was completely blind, and nodded blankly, "The big shopkeeper, the second shopkeeper, where are you?" ”
After Liu Qiao'er finished instructing, she followed Xu Xiaoxiao from the barn field.
When the two of them arrived at the barn, the fire had already burned, and thick black smoke came out of it.
"The fire is too big, and the cotton can't be saved, so we can only find a way to put out the fire." Xu Xiaoxiao looked around, thinking about how to bring in water to extinguish the fire.
The nearest is the creek in the back mountain, and it takes a lot of time to go back and forth, in order to purify the water quality of the creek, where the stream water has already been emptied and is being disinfected.
Nowadays, the only way to alleviate the fire is to take the spring water out of the space, but if you rush to pour the spring water out of the space, I am afraid that the villagers will be suspicious when they see it.
Just as she was struggling, Wang Er led the villagers to come over with buckets.
"The big shopkeeper, the second shopkeeper, are you okay?" Wang Xiaohua ran in front of Wang Er, panting.
Xu Xiaoxiao was about to open the space, and after hearing Wang Xiaohua's voice, he immediately closed the space and turned to look.
Seeing this, Liu Qiaore, who was guarding the front, hurriedly blocked Xu Xiaoxiao behind her, and asked calmly, "Why are you here too?" ”
"I don't worry about you, Wang Er brought the villagers over."
"There's no water now, and it's useless to come here."
Just after Liu Qiaoer refused Wang Xiaohua's help, Wang Er had already led the villagers into the grain drying field.
The villagers shouted anxiously as they watched the destruction of the cotton they had worked so hard to pick, and everyone looked left and right at a loss.
The only stream water is polluted, and the only water that each family drinks is taken from Wang Xiaohua's house, and now the fire is so big, no one knows what to do.
Everyone stood in place and was anxious, staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
At this time, Wang Duo arrived in a carriage, and behind the carriage was a large wooden barrel, because there were many traces of water flowing from the bumpy wooden barrel on the road.
"Tiny, I'm here." Wang Duo jumped out of the carriage and waved at Xu Xiaoxiao.
Xu Xiaoxiao, who was still entangled, saw the large wooden barrel behind Wang Duo, and guessed that it must be the water that Chu Qing arranged for Wangjia Village to drink.
Just yesterday, she proposed to Chu Qing that he arrange for the bucket to be filled with water and transported to Wangjia Village by horse-drawn cart for the villagers to use.
Now the stream is being cleaned and disinfected under her arrangement, and it will soon be able to flow through the new sluices.
Seeing this, Wang Er also led the villagers to follow Xu Xiaoxiao.
"You're here just in time, everyone works together to move the buckets down, and then the man is responsible for putting out the fire, and the woman is responsible for filling the water."
Before Xiaoxiao could speak, Wang Er let the villagers get busy in an orderly manner, and the villagers moved the wooden barrels off the carriage without hurry under his leadership.
