Chapter 246: the old mother

Xu Xiaoxiao and Liu Qiao'er walked around Chang'an Street, and the current situation, except for the occasional panicked people who want to store grain, there is not much turmoil for the time being.

Just as the two were about to return to Liujiazhuang, goose-featherlike snowflakes fell from mid-air, and the snowflakes crossed her shoulders and fell to the ground.

Xu Xiaoxiao raised his head curiously, and in an instant, more and more snowflakes fell with the biting cold wind.

"It's snowing." Liu Qiaoer happily stretched out her hand to catch the falling snowflakes.

Pedestrians on the street stopped excitedly when they saw the snow, and they raised their heads in amazement to see the rain and snow falling heavier and heavier.

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at the snowflakes that were slowly piling up on the ground, and a bad premonition arose in his heart, according to the calculations in the space.

The snow only started next month, and now it's starting early, suggesting that her planning is slowing down again.

Once it snows, it will only get colder and colder, which will not only affect the plants in the fields, but also make it impossible for residents in the city to go out to buy smoothly.

At that time, I am afraid that more and more people will die of freezing or starvation.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiaoxiao didn't dare to relax a little, she took Liu Qiaoer's hand and walked in the direction of the commercial street.

On the outskirts of the western part of the city, Liu Mengzhou and Liu Zhouzi were talking seriously with the drawings in their hands, and Wang Lin commanded the workers to transport the wood.

More than half a month has passed, and the progress of the commercial street is still very slow, but they are not to blame.

After all, the situation of indoor commercial streets is complicated, all of them need to be built with wood, and if there is no ready-made wood, it needs to be cut down by human heads.

In the last few days, the weather has been getting colder, which has caused workers to cut down much more slowly.

When Wang Lin turned around, he found Xu Xiaoxiao in a daze and Liu Qiao'er who was observing everywhere, "Shopkeeper Xu, shopkeeper Liu?" ”

Liu Mengzhou and Liu Zhouzi also raised their heads together after hearing Wang Lin's shout and turned their heads to look.

When the two saw Xu Xiaoxiao coming to inspect, they urged their heads with self-blame, and walked in front of her with heavy steps guiltily.

"Little Miss, that ......"

He knew that he would definitely be scolded this time, half a month had passed, and the outer frame had not yet been built, and the 10,000-meter-high wall outside the city had been erected.

He's only a few thousand square meters here, and so far he hasn't made any progress.

"It's okay, I'll just come over and take a look, don't be nervous." Xu Xiaoxiao found that Liu Mengzhou and Liu Zhouzi looked embarrassed, and hurriedly explained.

She originally wanted to use the robot to build the high wall first, and then arrange for the robot to come and build it here, but she didn't expect the weather to change too quickly.

She had to let the robot speed up again in advance, but what reason should she use to prevaricate the daily changes of the shopping street this time?

Because the walls are high, it is difficult to see the daily changes underneath, but the shopping street is different, and you can see the trickiness at a glance.

Just when she was pondering about the affairs of the commercial street, Wu Ping came, and he came to Xingshi to ask for guilt this time.

"Shopkeeper Xu." Wu flattened his face, and his tone was obviously very unhappy.

Liu Qiao'er saw that Wu Ping was here to trouble Xu Xiaoxiao, so she hurriedly blocked Xu Xiaoxiao behind her, "Shopkeeper Wu, I'm so free today." ”

Wu Ping obviously didn't take her seriously, and stepped forward to push her away, "Why is it that after half a month, there is still no progress here." ”

He didn't have the heart to beat around the bush with Xu Xiaoxiao now, and he spent a lot of silver taels in order to level the ground.

Now it's snowing, but this indoor shopping street doesn't even have a frame.

"Don't be angry first, give me half a month, and promise to get it right." Xu Xiaoxiao knew that he was at a loss, and he didn't bother to defend himself.

Wu Pinghu narrowed his eyes suspiciously, "Half a month? Are you sure you can build it? ”

He has been waiting for half a month, but he doesn't even have a frame, and he can use thousands of square meters in the remaining half a month?

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the bet that Xu Xiaoxiao had made with the shopkeeper Chen, so he continued, "Let's make a bet too." ”

Liu Qiaoer couldn't help but secretly smack the quintessence of the country, damn, drill when you see a crack, dog?

Xu Xiaoxiao didn't care, "Yes, what do you want to bet on?" ”

"Bet on your textile mill and garment factory." Wu Ping said it without thinking.

After hearing this, Liu Qiao'er felt that something was wrong and hurriedly refused, "Shopkeeper Xiao Wu, your appetite is too big, do you know how much the two factories are worth now?" ”

"The value is high, and the shopkeeper Xu has earned enough, but he bought it from my uncle for two hundred taels." Wu Ping will not forget Xu Xiaoxiao's behavior of falling into the well.

How she got the land from her uncle, he got it back.

Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but chuckle a few times, it turned out that she was still worried about the matter of Wu's shopkeeper's land.

"That land was originally our Liu family, and it was your uncle who tricked my father into getting it." Before Xiaoxiao could reply, Liu Yuan walked up angrily from not far away.

Liu Qiao'er looked at Liu Yuan with an angry face in surprise, "Why are you here?" ”

"Something." Liu Yuan was so angry that he replied to Liu Qiaoer with a few perfunctory words.

Liu Yuan's perfunctory attitude made Liu Qiao'er feel awkward, and she was probably used to Liu Yuan's good voice and good atmosphere on weekdays.

The sudden indifference made her heart sour, and her whole face suddenly collapsed.

Xu Xiaoxiao looked down at Liu Qiao'er who hung her head, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, this girl is afraid that her heart is rippling.

Liu Yuan patronized and didn't notice Liu Qiao'er's emotions, he protected Xu Xiaoxiao and Liu Qiao'er behind him.

Wu Ping opened the fan, and his face still had a natural expression, "So what, the winner is king, and whoever gets the land is whoever." ”

"That's a good point, since that's the case, shopkeeper Xiao Wu shouldn't think about taking the land back." Liu Yuan replied mercilessly.

Wu Ping squeezed the folding fan in anger when he heard this, and blushed with anger, "Shopkeeper Xu, you can give an explanation, we signed a contract." ”

"Don't get excited, if I haven't built it in half a month, how about I post you a thousand taels?" Xu Xiaoxiao stepped forward with a smile and played the role of a peacemaker.

Wu Ping's face softened a lot after hearing the thousand taels, "Okay, that's okay, I'll wait for your good news." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Liu Yuan and turned his head to leave.

Liu Yuan took a few sips at Wu Pingyuan's back, and then turned back with a melancholy face, "Shopkeeper Xu, why did you easily agree to the gambling contract?" ”

He was like Xu Xiaoxiao's old mother, he was heartbroken, and he was worried that Xu Xiaoxiao would not be able to complete it on time, not only did he worry about it every day, but also made up a good amount of money in private.

also asked his father to take out all the belongings, and finally survived the catastrophe smoothly, how could he come to a new gambling contract.

He looked at the commercial street behind him with a grudge, and began to think about whether he could compensate Wu Ping in front of him.

"You don't have to worry about me, you should worry about the person next to me." After Xu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, he looked at the depressed Liu Qiaoer.
