Chapter 46: I Will Control
The army green brick cart can carry more people.
There are a lot of brick trucks parked in the brick shop, but most of them are not private and are rented from the owner of the brick factory.
Li Hongying and Xiao Guofu did not have a big face, and the owners of the brick factories did not rent brick trucks to them, but in previous years, they rented hand-cranked tractors with other wealthy families to carry people.
The tractor body is not as tall, large, and wide as a large brick car, and there are no partitions that can block the wind.
Not only is there few people carrying, but when encountering uneven roads, it is also particularly bumpy, walking on mud roads on rainy days, often slipping, asking everyone to get out of the car, blowing cold wind to help push the cart.
Every time, the clansmen complained, blaming them for not being thoughtful enough and always delaying everyone's time.
As the village chief is so capable, it is better to abdicate.
No matter how sad and aggrieved Li Hongying and Xiao Guofu are, they can only bear it, who can't let them rent a big brick car.
Bai Lu nodded after hearing this: "Okay, Xiao Cheng will tell him when he comes back from work, you can count the total number of people before you go home, and let's talk about it again, we will determine how many people will take the car, so we can borrow a few cars from the owner of the brick factory."
Li Hongying said repeatedly: "Don't bother, we'll come over to tell you as soon as we finish counting the number of people."
Great things get done.
The boulder that pressed on Li Hongying's heart finally fell, and this year I finally don't have to be scolded anymore and can't do things.
In previous years, Xiao Cheng was not notified, thinking that he would not go, and he would not let his family agree to go.
Unexpectedly, his wife in the family can also call the shots, it seems that the recent rumors are true nine times out of ten.
At lunchtime, Xiao Cheng found that Bai Lu looked at him from time to time, as if he had something to say.
Sure enough, as soon as she was full and put down the dishes and chopsticks, she was pulled back to the room, and she didn't forget to ask Xiao Wei to help wash the dishes before leaving.
Apparently things are not small.
"Let's go back to the countryside tomorrow to worship the ancestors of the Xiao family, right?" Bai Lu's eyes were shining and he looked at Xiao Cheng with great expectations.
"We?" Xiao Cheng was slightly surprised.
The Xiao family will inform him this year, and it is even more unexpected that we are obviously not the only one.
"Yes, us."
Bai Lu nodded seriously: "I, you, and Xiaowei, the three of us will go back to the countryside to worship our ancestors together."
The customs of the Qingming Festival here are that you must first go to worship the ancestral tomb of the Zong clan before you can worship the private tomb.
In previous years, the clansmen did not inform Xiao Cheng, so Xiao Cheng did not go to worship the ancestors of the Xiao family, and directly worshiped the private tomb.
This year, Xiao Cheng will be notified, Xiao Cheng doesn't have to think about it, nine times out of ten it is related to Bai Lu.
However, Bai Lu could not go.
"I'll just go with Xiao Wei."
Bai Lu didn't understand, didn't agree, let go of his hand, grabbed it back and shook it: "I'm going too."
Xiao Cheng's arms were about to be shaken off, and he was expressionless, staring at her stomach, and said quietly: "You are pregnant, the mountain road is not easy to walk, and it will be slippery when it rains."
Bai Lu raised three fingers and promised: "I will wear non-slip plastic water shoes and bring an umbrella, I will go wherever you go, and I will definitely not run around, okay?"
Xiao Cheng knew what she wanted to do.
On the old side of the village, there are chestnut trees all over the mountains, and the old people who stick to their ancestral land, who have experienced the hard days of hunger in their early years, cherish every grain of grain, and generally store chestnuts at home, and there are quite a few of them.
Bai Lu wanted to go to the old village, which was nothing more than to buy chestnuts.
Xiao Cheng pursed his lips and said without hesitation: "I'll talk about the purchase of chestnuts."
"No, I'm going to talk about it myself."
Bai Lu didn't believe him, he was impulsive, reckless, and only had violence in his mind, and if he didn't accept it, he would do it, and he would do it if he didn't agree.
She still wants to do her business!
Being stared at by distrustful eyes, Xiao Cheng also knew what Bai Lu was worried about, touched his nose, and coughed unnaturally: "I will control it."
Bai Lu clearly didn't believe it, and he was going to go.
Xiao Cheng just didn't agree.
said that he didn't agree to anything, Bai Lu shook his arm coquettishly, and didn't agree to say soft words.
was in a stalemate, Li Hongying and Xiao Guofu counted the number of people, came to knock on the door and reported the number.
Then I was very fortunate to suffer from Xiao Cheng's cold eyes, cold face, and a cold "um" word.
The couple suddenly became nervous again.
I wanted to ask a few more questions, but I didn't dare, because Bai Lu didn't come out inside.
Li Hongying and Xiao Guofu didn't dare to ask Xiao Cheng.
After waiting for a long time, he didn't see Bai Lu exposed, and he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he left worriedly.
"What now? If Xiao Cheng doesn't help us borrow a brick cart, how can the 143 clansmen in the town go back? There are men, women and children, and walking is definitely not possible. ”
Xiao Guofu twisted his brows: "First contact the previous tractor owners, rent a car, if Xiao Cheng is willing to help rent a big brick car tomorrow, he will return the tractor, if Xiao Cheng refuses to help, we have no choice but to let everyone continue to take the tractor back to the countryside."
"That must not be scolded to death by the spitting stars of the clansmen again, and lose all face!" Li Hongying was angry and anxious: "It's all your fault, why didn't you inform Xiao Cheng in previous years!"
Xiao Guofu didn't think there was anything wrong: "In previous years, Xiao Cheng's reputation was like that, who dared to inform him, even if I agreed, the old people in the clan would not agree."
Li Hongying snorted coldly: "It's okay now, you have agreed, and it's not uncommon for people to be rare."
Xiao Guofu's tone was tough: "Who made him lose the face of his ancestors and ancestors......"
"What a hell of a face, nonsense!"
As soon as Li Hongying's temper came up, she took a gun and a cannon when she spoke: "What kind of work does it matter to you, eat radishes every day and worry about it!" The ancestors stayed well in the sky, how can you care what work you do, burn more paper money, candle incense, and have good food and drink for the Qingming Festival, who cares what you do! ”
"You don't say a word, the gods are above, the ancestors have spirits, and they can hear it." Xiao Guofu wanted to cover her mouth.
Li Hongying slapped his hand away: "There is a spirit, there is a spirit, you will know that there is a spirit if you can't borrow a car tomorrow!"
"When you are scolded by the clansmen for your incompetence and for not being worthy of being the village chief, you will have a spirit!"
"Who let Xiao Cheng not follow the right path and lose the face of the ancestors." Xiao Guofu still sticks to his own theory.
Li Hongying was so angry that he scolded him for being stubborn: "People have moved to the town if they don't take the right path, we are still nested in the old rural pits, the wind and rain make up for the leakage of the tile house, the leakage and the repair, and I can't even see a little bit of flesh and stars all year round, who do you think the ancestors and ancestors think are more shameful?"
"There are no wild boars on the mountain, who said there is no meat to eat." Xiao Guofu argued with reason.
Li Hongying laughed angrily: "Why didn't I see you hit a wild boar last year, back and forth for a whole year, how many times you went in and out of the mountain, and you brought back a few little piglets, it was our son who was smart and set a trap."
Xiao Guofu's face was panicked, and he explained with a stiff neck: "Now that the shotgun is disabled, the prey is naturally difficult to fight."
Li Hongying stopped speaking directly.
Striding towards the end of the alley, there is a small three-wheeler at the end of the alley to go back to the countryside, and finally agreed to take a ride, but you can't miss it, you will be tired to death if you miss it and walk for a few hours.
Let the cow take it upon itself!
……
The other side.
Ah Cheng ...... Take me there......"
