Cui Hongyu took Chen Qiaoer back home, calmed down her emotions, and began to teach Chen Qiaoer to practice calligraphy seriously.
While I was writing this, I suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. When I looked up, it was Sanqiu.
Chen Sanqiu has been very low-key since Chen Ping's accident and hardly participated in any collective activities in the village, so Cui Hongyu rarely sees him on weekdays.
After all, his husband is the head of the village, so he still has to know how to send people off.
"Brother Sanqiu, please sit down." Cui Hongyu greeted and handed him a stool.
This stool was pieced together from wooden boards dismantled from an old bed. Not to mention Chen Xiaobei's talent in handcrafting.
Chen Qiaoer also entered the room and poured a glass of water on the stone table, "Brother Sanqiu, drink water."
Chen Sanqiu sat down, took a sip of water, and asked with a smile, "When will Brother Xiaobei come back!"
When he heard that he was just looking for something to talk about, Cui Hongyu smiled and said, "I'm not sure. Maybe I'll come back today, maybe tomorrow."
"Brother Sanqiu, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
Chen Sanqiu hesitated for a moment, and finally said hesitantly, "Well, I heard that a school has been built in our village, and I heard that we need to ask for a teacher from the county. I am not talented at all, so I asked Brother Xiaobei to recommend me."
So that’s it.
Cui Hongyu smiled and nodded, "Okay, when Xiaobei comes back, I'll tell him and ask him to come find you."
After receiving Cui Hongyu's reply, Chen Sanqiu showed a bright smile, "Okay, we are all from the same village. The tuition fee is more or less, it doesn't matter."
Cui Hongyu suddenly realized that he was here for this, but Chen Xiaobei had clearly said that he would let the children in the village go to school for free.
But out of love, Cui Hongyu did not say this out loud, but politely sent Chen Sanqiu away.
At this time, Chen Xiaobo drove the donkey cart to Xiaojia Town.
It was delivered once yesterday, and there was a list. I just sent it again, so everything went well.
He came to a restaurant and was carrying dishes when he suddenly felt someone tapping his shoulder.
Turning his head to look over, Chen Xiaobo was slightly surprised to see that it was Chen Ping.
"Brother Chen Ping, why are you you?"
Chen Ping seemed very enthusiastic and patted Chen Xiaobo's shoulder affectionately, "Why did you come to Xiaojia Town?"
"Oh, aren't there some vegetables grown in the village? They came to Xiaojia Town to sell vegetables. By the way, Brother Chen Ping, why are you here?"
Chen Ping sighed, "Oh, I offended Chen Xiaobei, and I can't stay in the village any longer, so I have to come here, boil some water for others at the inn over there, and take care of the rooms."
Chen Xiaobo smiled slightly, "Hey, Brother Chen Ping, you did not do this honestly, but then again, we are all from the same clan, how can there be so much hatred, you go back and make amends to Brother Xiaobei, I see this
It’s over.”
"Now Brother Xiaobei is catching fish and growing vegetables. You guys are very happy."
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention. The more Chen Xiaobo said this, the more indignant Chen Ping became.
But on the surface he didn't show it, "Brother, I just have a day off today. Since I met you, I'll stay here at noon. I'll treat you to a drink and let's have a good chat."
Chen Xiaobo didn't know Chen Ping's evil idea, so he agreed half-heartedly.
Chen Ping enthusiastically helped Chen Xiaobo finish delivering the dishes, then found a random tavern and sat down.
It's a bit early for dinner at this time, but the shopkeeper is not surprised. A few cold dishes will be ready soon.
After three glasses of wine, Chen Ping spoke up, "Just now you said that Chen Xiaobei led everyone to catch fish and grow vegetables. It seems that everyone is very motivated."
Chen Xiaobo chuckled, "Yes, yes, today he took people into Qingniu Mountain again. Someone offered a big price to help build an iron cable bridge. You said you are building an iron cable bridge in the mountains. When it is built, don't we still use it?"
If someone offers you money, where can you find such a good thing?"
Yes, pay a lot of money to build a cable bridge in the mountains.
Chen Ping also felt incredible, "No way, can there be gold mines in our barren mountains?"
Chen Xiaobo chuckled, "I don't know if there are gold mines. Anyway, these days, groups of people are running into the mountains. I can't explain why."
Chen Ping couldn't help laughing, "You're bragging to me again. How could so many people run into the mountains?"
"Look, you don't believe me. Let me tell you that the bandits in Centipede Ridge have all gone there more than once. By the way, the one named Yang Zhi just settled down on the four acres of land. Why? It's definitely not for the purpose of going there.
Qingniu Mountain!"
"There is also a man named Sun Jian, ah, yes, this chain bridge was built by Sun Jian and his friends."
Sun Jian?
The Sun Jian he knew quickly flashed through Chen Ping's mind.
"You're talking about Sun Jian who has a beard and speaks with a foreign accent?"
Chen Xiaobo nodded, "Yes, that's him. I didn't expect you to know him."
Chen Ping did behave very calmly, "Oh, that's okay. He happens to live in our inn, and I can only say a few words by bringing him water every day."
"By the way, how is your wife? I heard that each of the wolf sellers got some money, so the wife should be settled, right?"
Chen Ping changed the topic, and Chen Xiaobo let go of the problem, but he did not let go of Chen Ping.
After eating and drinking, Chen Ping returned to his residence and fell into deep thought.
Chen Xiaobei became famous in Hetou Village, and now he actually led the villagers into the mountains to start a big project. It was getting harder and harder to shake him.
But then again, how can you know without trying?
Find out why Sun Jian built the cable bridge, and then make a more targeted decision.
At this time, Chen Xiaobei led everyone to a place only three miles away from the canyon, where there was a forest.
Although the woods are not particularly dense, it is enough to rest in the woods in summer.
At this time, Ma Xiaoyi showed a more professional side. He said to Chen Xiaobei, "Brother Xiaobei, we have to stay here for a while, so why don't we all work harder? Let's cut down more trees and gather around a place to come out at night.
It’s also more peaceful to sleep.”
His suggestion was immediately responded to by everyone, and everyone began to work separately. The branches cut by the craftsmen led by Ma Xiaoyi were as thick as an arm.
Then use large iron nails to nail the branches between the two trees.
Use two branches to cross-nail between every two trees.
Nail some thin branches into the gaps.
This is to make a fence out of branches.
Seeing Ma Xiaoyi's operation, Lidong couldn't help but look suspicious.
He pulled Chen Xiaobei aside and asked in a low voice, "Brother Xiaobei, tell me the truth, are they really the hired craftsmen?"
There is no need for Chen Xiaobei to lie about Lidong, "The craftsmen are not fake, but they are sent by Liu Rumei and don't need to pay for it."
