Chapter Seventy-Eight: Rumors in the Village
The selection process has officially begun.
More than 20 people who participated in the election took the stage in order of the numbers drawn.
In the first round, those who do not know how to set the car and are not skilled in operation will be eliminated by ten people.
In the second round, those who drive too slowly will be eliminated by three people; Yi Mingxue also put a bowl of water in the carriage, and if the water was spilled more than halfway, five more people were eliminated.
and the hidden third round, those who did not cope well with the roadblocks were eliminated again.
In the end, only three people were left who had cleared all of them.
In addition to a teenager from Longmen Village, Second Uncle Li's uncle is also impressively listed.
And what surprised Yi Mingxue the most was Liu Er, who was also shortlisted for the top three.
Not only was she surprised, but so were the rest of the people in Big River Village.
Liu Da pulled his brother and was curious, "Second brother, when did you learn to drive?" ”
Liu Er was very embarrassed, blushing and said shyly, "Since I learned that the eldest sister of the Yi family was going to hire a coachman, I made a special trip to study for a few days." ”
"You just learned it?" Another young man who made it to the top three was amazed.
Even Second Uncle Liu's uncle came over curiously, "I see that your method of setting up a car is not unfamiliar." ”
"I learned to ride a carriage with my father when I was a child, including horseback riding, but I really just learned how to ride a carriage." Liu Er said modestly.
Liu Da was proud on the side.
When he caught someone, he boasted that this was his second brother.
However, in the first few days, I defeated so many skilled players.
At this time, Yi Mingxue walked over.
She first saluted the three of them, and then said, "Congratulations on making it to the top three, I have prepared the lottery for the three of you, please go and get it yourself, remember that each person can only take one." ”
When the three of them heard this, they immediately came to the desk where the color heads were placed.
The first to arrive was Second Uncle Li's uncle, who almost didn't hesitate, and directly reached out to take the pot of good wine.
Then came the young man from Longmen Village, who took the fifty yuan next to the wine jar.
The last to arrive was Liu Er, whose color head was a cowhide horsewhip.
Although Liu Er belongs to the one who has no choice, it is not difficult to see that he himself likes this horsewhip the most.
The three of them got what they liked, so naturally they didn't have any opinions.
However, Liu Er's eldest brother Liu Da was very dissatisfied and said, "The same is a colorful head, and others are rich and good wine, how come it is a useless whip to my second brother?" ”
Liu Er hurriedly stopped his brother, "Big brother Hugh wants to talk nonsense, I have a very good hand on this horsewhip, but it is no worse than money and wine." ”
After that, he also turned his head and apologized to Yi Mingxue, "Big girl, my brother is talking nonsense, don't take it to heart." ”
Yi Mingxue shook her head with a smile and asked him, "Second Brother Liu, why did you choose a horsewhip?" ”
Liu Er is a straight intestine, and he is not afraid of showing timidity at all.
"I'm just a beginner, and I still need to practice if I'm not proficient enough. If I had a horsewhip in my hand, I think my progress would have been faster. ”
Yi Mingxue silently praised him in her heart.
Next, she announced directly in front of everyone.
"This is the end of today's selection, and the final successful selection is ...... Second Brother Liu! ”
Liu second-hand held the horsewhip, and some did not react.
Liu Da had already happily grabbed his hand and cheered.
The other two didn't look very good, but at this time, both of them reacted.
This so-called self-picking lottery is actually a part of the selection.
It's not wrong to choose money and wine, but whoever chooses the horsewhip can get the real work quota.
Although the young people of Longmen Village were not selected, they received 50 yuan and did not suffer a loss.
But Second Uncle Li's uncle is different.
He had already made a mistake because of wine, and if he let his mother-in-law know about him, he would have lost his good errand because he chose two pots of wine.
I don't know how to count him.
He hurriedly turned his eyes for help to the second uncle Li and his wife on the side.
But Second Uncle Li can't help either!
So angry that his uncle threw his sleeves and didn't even eat, so he went home directly.
……
Yi Mingxue's new car driver has been settled, and the opening date is set for three days later.
She was going to make a few trips to Qiyang Town first.
Send the people who want to go to the town to repair the old city wall first.
Then I ran to the jobs of the brides.
Although Liu Er is a novice, Yi Mingxue's salary for him is not low.
Except for the less dividends at the end of the year, the others are not far from Uncle Li.
But Liu Er's family was so happy.
Especially Liu Er's mother, who carried a pound of noodles that night and came to the door in person to thank her.
But the way she looked at Yi Mingxue, she was a little too enthusiastic.
made Yi Mingxue uncomfortable.
The next day, there was a rumor in the village.
said that Yi Mingxue may have taken a fancy to Liu Er, and she wanted to marry their old Liu family.
Yi Mingxue didn't know this news at first.
By the time it reached her ears, almost everything in the village already knew.
And the more it spreads, the more outrageous it becomes.
even said that she and Liu Er had hooked up a long time ago.
The two wolves of Yi Mingxue's family that day were actually hunted by Liu Er.
It's just that in order to curry favor with Yi Mingxue, he found an excuse to give to the Yi family.
Yi Mingxue felt incredible.
But some people really believe such rumors.
Liu Er's sister-in-law, that is, Liu Da's daughter-in-law, even began to say something directly in front of the villagers.
If Yi Mingxue still wants to have face, he should return his two wolves.
"I'll give you back a big bag!"
was so angry that Yi Mingxue wanted to go to the door to theorize on the spot.
was stopped by Aunt Li, "These are already afterwords, if you come to the door now, will people admit that they chewed the root of your tongue behind your back?" ”
"In my opinion, this group of long-tongued women will definitely get together and talk nonsense, so it's better to catch them directly when the time comes."
Yi Mingxue calmed down a little.
Aunt Li is right, she has to fan her face in person.
However, she didn't plan to just let these shameless people go.
That night, she sneaked into the courtyard of Liu's family.
On the window of Liu's daughter-in-law's bedroom, a pair of big pants soaked in black dog blood were hung.
And on the way she had to get up at night, she scattered brass paper money all over the ground.
In the second half of the night, Yi Mingxue packed the big yellow dog of the village chief Li next door in a sack and threw it into the chicken pen of the Liu family.
Liu's daughter-in-law was woken up by movement in the chicken pen.
I thought there was a weasel stealing the chicken.
Who knows, as soon as he got up, he was scared half to death by the blood-soaked white cloth strip on the windowsill.
She hurriedly called her man up.
Liu Da was a hunter after all, and he picked off the bloody pants on the window with a wooden stick.
I was going to open the window to scare the weasel in the chicken pen in the backyard.
I didn't think about it, as soon as the window opened.
I saw her backyard full of yellow paper money.
With the sound of the wind whistling in the mountains in winter.
The atmosphere is not to mention how terrifying it is.
Even Liu Da himself was frightened.
As for his mother-in-law, she rolled her eyes directly, and was so frightened that she fainted to death on the spot.
