It is embarrassing to say that Chen Xiaobei has not returned to his father-in-law's home since Cui Hongyu married him.
Having said that, he can't be entirely blamed for this matter, Cui Hongyu didn't mention it.
In fact, Cui Hongyu still had complaints against his father. It was his father who listened to Cui Banxian's bewitchment and forced him to marry Chen Xiaobei.
But now I think about it, by mistake, I got a treasure by marrying Chen Xiaobei.
Cui Fugui did not visit the doctor at home today. He was sorting out medicinal materials when his old servant Axiang rushed in.
"Sir, the lady is back."
Cui Fuguier frowned, "Who are you talking about?"
"Miss, Miss Hongyu, who got married, came back with her uncle."
Cui Fugui slowly put down the medicinal materials in his hand, "Quickly stop her at the door and ask her what she is here for."
Axiang stamped his feet anxiously, "Oh, sir, Chen Xiaobei is now the head of Hetou Village. No, he is already the mayor of the village. He will definitely not ask for anything from us."
Upon hearing this, Cui Fugui's frown relaxed a little.
"Okay then, you go greet them for me. By the way, if anything happens, just ask Hongyu to come and tell me."
Axiang had no choice but to bite the bullet and come to the gate. He saw Cui Hongyu coming with a smile on his face and said, "Miss, you are back."
"I've met my uncle."
Cui Hongyu nodded and asked eagerly, "Uncle Axiang, where is my father?"
Axiang pointed to the study, "The master is in the room, you can go over."
Then he turned to Chen Xiaobei and said, "Uncle, please come in and drink tea."
Chen Xiaobei knew that he didn't want him to go.
Forget it, let Cui Hongyu speak for himself, but Cui Hongyu didn't care about this. Cui Hongyu glared and raised his voice a lot, "I'm here to give money to dad, why are I so arrogant?"
In the room, Cui Fugui raised his brows and showed a hint of joy when he heard about the gift of money. He hurriedly walked out, but after taking two steps, he stopped again after thinking about it.
Cui Hongyu saw that there was no movement in the room when he said he was giving money, so he simply grabbed Chen Xiaobei and said, "Well, since my father doesn't care, let's go back. This is really a kindness."
After saying that, he pulled Chen Xiaobei and turned around to leave. Now Axiang was a little impatient, "Miss, don't be impatient. If you have anything to say, go in and say it slowly."
When Cui Fugui saw Cui Hongyu was about to leave, he finally couldn't help it anymore and opened the door with a squeak.
Upon hearing him open the door, Cui Hongyu and Chen Xiaobei looked at each other and smiled.
Cui Fugui deliberately put his hands behind his back and walked slowly into the yard, "If you don't go into the house, what will it look like to make a lot of noise at the door?"
Cui Hongyu directly intercepted his words and got straight to the point.
"Sister, dad, we need labor to carry things to Qingniu Mountain, and then go up to the mountain temple for ten miles. We need to go back and forth once a day, and we will give fifty men a day."
Cui Hongyu finished speaking quickly, and Cui Fugui's eyes widened instantly.
"Well, if you are carrying fifty big men on a trip, are you carrying gold or silver?"
"Okay, I'll stop telling you this. You help me find someone, and I'll give you twenty extra bucks. How much you can earn depends on your ability."
After saying that, Cui Hongyu pulled Chen Xiaobei and left. Chen Xiaobei hurriedly broke away with all his strength.
You can't just leave without farting when you come here. You have to say a few words to your father-in-law.
He cupped his fist at Cui Fugui and said respectfully, "The supplies shipped belong to the imperial court and are legal. In addition, please rest assured, father-in-law, Hong Yu will never be wronged if he follows me."
After saying this, Chen Xiaobei bowed to his father-in-law again.
"There are many things at home, so we won't go into the house until we finish this matter."
"By the way, it's best to clean up and hide with us for two days. The army may come here."
Cui Hongyu glanced at Chen Xiaobei and said, "You don't have to say this."
But Chen Xiaobei doesn't think so. It's always a good thing to remind him of his father-in-law.
Who knew that Cui Fugui was also a stubborn person? He smiled slightly and said, "No matter which family's soldiers come, how can they get in trouble with ordinary people like us? I won't hide out, but you want manpower, so this is good
manage."
After speaking, he turned to look at A Xiang, "Go to the village and say hello a few times, pick up some strong laborers, and don't go out and disgrace our Cuijiazhuang."
After Chen Xiaobei thanked him again, he quickly returned to the village with Cui Hongyu. Cui Hongyu had a heavy task and had to leave with the elderly and children.
When Chen Xiaobei rushed back to Hetou Village, Huang Ying was still circling at the door. When she saw Chen Xiaobei coming, she hurriedly greeted her.
"Brother Xiaobei, what's going on? Why do you want us to leave suddenly and create such a mess?"
Chen Xiaobei sighed, "Well, the war in the court has reached Qingniu Mountain. I'm afraid that the villagers will be implicated, so you should go out and hide."
Huang Ying hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "Then will you come with us?"
Chen Xiaobei shook his head, "If I don't leave, I have other things to do."
"Then I won't leave either. I'll learn how to make mines from you."
Chen Xiaobei looked at Cui Hongyu and said nothing. Cui Hongyu had to come forward to persuade him to do this.
When Cui Hongyu stepped forward and pulled Huang Ying up affectionately, she said, "Good sister, my husband has made dozens of mines in the past few days, which is enough."
"So many children and elderly people also need care."
Huang Ying shook her head stubbornly, "I don't. I have to protect you and Brother Xiaobei. We are not related to them. Whether we live or die has nothing to do with me."
Chen Xiaobei didn't know whether he was happy or sad after hearing this. It's true that Huang Ying is so young.
As the saying goes, she is not the head of the village and has no responsibility to protect these villagers.
But having her protect the villagers will reduce a lot of his worries.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Huang Ying probably guessed what Chen Xiaobei meant. She rolled her eyes and smiled, "Brother Xiaobei, if you don't want Zi Yan to protect Sister Hong Yu, I will stay and protect you, one on each side."
."
Before Chen Xiaobei opened his mouth, Cui Hongyu looked happy.
Wasn't this opportunity given to Chen Xiaobei? She immediately agreed, "Okay, okay, Huang Ying, you must protect my husband and make sure nothing goes wrong."
When he heard what Cui Hongyu said, Chen Xiaobei immediately understood what he was thinking. Oh, it's been so long, why are you still thinking about asking me to find a second wife?
Soon Ah Xiang arrived with dozens of people from Cuijiazhuang. Huang Ying immediately picked up the book and went forward, registering the names one by one, and also registered the materials distributed to each person.
Seeing this posture, Chen Xiaobei knew that Huang Ying would not be able to leave.
When everything was ready, Chen Xiaobei arranged for village guard Chen Xiaobo to bring a material delivery record and lead the villagers of Cuijiazhuang towards the steep slope.
Watching Chen Xiaobo go away, Huang Ying suddenly asked, "Why are there only a few village protection team members, where are Chen Dayong and the others?"
Chen Xiaobei suddenly thought, yes, Chen Dayong and the others are still in Longwang River.
