Chapter 173 The special evening breeze meets the special you(1/2)
The arrival of General Lu Yan and his entourage can be said to be an addition to the passionate years of Erdaohe Village.
Mrs. Xu walked up to the expectant eyes of everyone.
Once she arrives, she will take over everything.
The Bai family father and son were always watching.
"For the names I read below, a representative from each family will stand up.
Li Zheng's family, Sibo's family, Wan's family, Wang's family, Cao's family, Sun's family, Hao Yinhua's family, my family.
Each family only has one room to live in, and some people are left to heat the kang and heat hot water.
As for the remaining houses, they are all vacant and will be requisitioned tonight."
These families will go to other houses in the village to find accommodation tonight.
Like the Xu family, Xu Tianxin and Mrs. Xu will stay here in the new shop, while the others will either squeeze into a room or go to Guan Ertu's house to stay overnight.
As Mrs. Xu called her name, representatives from each family stood up to wait for the leader to return home and check in.
Because the kangs in some rooms in the new shop have not yet been built, there is no room for four hundred soldiers.
Mrs. Xu continued to read without stopping: "The following is the linen team..."
Neither the Xu family nor Liu Laozhu had any extra money. Even when they opened a bathhouse or a hotel, they didn't have bedding, and they didn't have enough money to buy too many handkerchiefs for wiping their bodies and faces.
The Xu family is waiting for the next delivery of fish floss and fish noodles before they can use the money from the next batch of goods to purchase these.
So tonight we need to collect decent quilts from various houses for the soldiers and generals to use and transport them to the new shop. Otherwise, there will be no quilts to cover them. This is the current situation in Erdaohe Village, but it will not continue like this.
"Next is the horse feeding team. I read out the name of the horse team, Wang Yusheng."
"arrive."
"Three fierce men."
"arrive."
"Wang Daye, Li Tietou, one ear, Fu butt, keep, tie..."
Everyone stood up as their name was called.
Regarding this group of people, Mrs. Xu specially selected the best people in the village to feed the horses. The war horses, at a glance, were covered in mud.
Although Mrs. Xu didn't dare to make her own decisions, she rubbed the war horse like a human being into a bath to get rid of the sparks, and the water was splashing.
But she asked her granddaughter, or to be precise, she asked the family members in the live broadcast room to check for her, and found out that the war horse can be dry cleaned.
Cover the horse shed tightly with sacks, spread the hay softly, briefly wash the mud and several parts with warm water, and then brush the hair. In this way, the war horse, like people, can feel comfortable even when running around for a while.
"Next is the cooking team..."
Mrs. Xu plans to cook two-meter dry rice and stewed fish for Left General Lu Yan and his party tonight.
Someone asked her, "Convener, our big oven is almost ready. Steaming rice is very troublesome. Otherwise, we can use it tonight and directly bake naan cakes for the soldiers."
Mrs. Xu refused. This group of people had been running around for several days, because they came from another direction, not from the town. So she guessed that after a few days of rushing, she had already eaten enough pancakes, and it was not like she had not eaten them.
Been running around on the road.
Whatever you do is cooking, why not steam two rice.
She would collect the rice from her daughter-in-law, and the women from each family whose names she called would take it home and steam it in wooden barrels. After the rice was steamed, part of it would be left for the soldiers living in the village to eat, and part of it would be sent to her in two cars.
Take it to the new shop.
The woman named by Mrs. Xu was working in the Xu family to earn money.
As usual, the work had not been finished at this time, so Mrs. Xu simply said that the next job for you is to steam rice, including the cooking team, and the Xu family's wages will be paid as usual.
As for firewood, the village collective has a separate firewood pile, which was once used to boil water for the fishing people in the village. The firewood is directly used by the village collective.
"Why should we use the ones from the village? I wonder who has the nerve to get the firewood from the village collective." said the fourth uncle. The fourth uncle was an ugly person and said it before, but he was confident that there were no such people in the village. There used to be, but now it is to make money or
In order to get closer to everyone and avoid being isolated, I don’t dare to do that.
Liu Laozhu frowned and said to Mrs. Xu: "The rice, vegetables, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar are all shared between our two families."
The leaders of the village also said: "No, everyone will share equally." They also whispered to the uninformed villagers that outsiders were coming to grab the land, but after the village hosted such a big general, outsiders would not dare. This is simple.
I still don’t understand the reason.
"Then it should be split evenly. We've all borrowed it."
Mrs. Xu doesn't have time to talk about this in detail with everyone, because it's for her granddaughter. Our family's style is that if you don't respond, you can't make trouble for your children if you respond.
What's more, even her stingy daughter-in-law actually talked to her on the way here:
"Mom, it's time to meet Zhenzhang. Don't be reluctant to give up on money or not.
We would rather tighten our belts later and live a hard life before we can earn more.
All I know is that our Tian Xin'er knows such a high-ranking official, and even if we have no contact with him in the future, we can use this high-ranking official to make a big deal after we get married. No husband's family would dare to bully our Tian Xin.
Why are we working so hard? Isn’t it just so that our family will be looked down upon and taken seriously, so that we can have enough food and clothing, and our children will not be bullied by anyone."
Let’s take a look. I won’t mention other benefits that Qin Niang didn’t expect. I will just say that even Qin Niang’s level of thought has been rising steadily today. How can Mrs. Xu, a biological grandmother, be any worse?
So Mrs. Xu not only waved her hand to Liu Laozhu and the others to stop wasting time talking about expenses, but said, "If you have something, take some, and if you don't have it, throw it away." It all depends on whether you have the heart or not. Take a piece of cabbage.
Pickled cabbage is fine too. And she started paying for it.
This was the first time that Mrs. Xu took out money in front of everyone.
In the past, Mrs. Xu always kept things hidden, and no one had ever seen her spending money outside.
This time everyone watched her quietly and didn't want to keep a low profile anymore.
Mrs. Xu took out the chicken money and bought it if she wanted to kill any chicken in the village.
Because along with the pork her family had saved, she wanted to make dumplings stuffed with pork or chicken for General Zuo and his party tomorrow morning. She would get the dumplings on the car and get them out of the noodles, so they would be good to eat when they leave tomorrow morning. It was a good sign.
She took out the egg money again.
Mrs. Xu thought about it and decided not to bring any dry food when she left. After all, the group would be in town at the next stop.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But I didn’t take anything, and I didn’t think about it.
The Xu family can still afford one boiled egg each.
Then ask the four hundred soldiers to rush back to the military camp tomorrow. As long as a handful of people remember this, if they mention it to anyone, Jialai will be honored when they hear about it.
That's called an attitude issue, right? It means that the Xu family and the Xu family are very particular about their work and have a very upright attitude. They welcome all the generals to visit the Xu family.
If Mrs. Xu wants to tell the truth, it's better to make friends with them all once. The Zhenbei Army is their family's world. Going to the military camp meeting is like entering a deserted land. They can get help from anyone. Anyone who names them will know them. Go outside and do it.
There will be someone to cover the business, and once it's done, the business can be carried out in the military camp.
The benefits are indeed many.
But, having said that, Emma, how much money are you paying?
Mrs. Xu took off another string of copper coins from her waist. This was money to buy fish.
Today, all the fish in Erdaohe Village have been made into fish floss and noodles by her family. Even if there are a few fish, there are not many left. You can't catch them in the net now, and you can't catch the fish. It's not like any fool will land the fish just as they say.
So if I want to stew fish tonight, I have to buy it elsewhere.
Someone in the village was unhappy: "Why should I buy from Wangjiagou? The people in that village are not good people. Look at what they have done to our village this time. Several people have blood on their faces."
Mrs. Xu mentioned the names of several people in Wangjiagou, and she knew that they were all families with common surnames in the other side of the village, and that they had been suppressed by Wang Lizheng's branches and could not develop in the past.
Mrs. Xu didn't have time to explain in detail, but she said casually, firstly, only the village on the other side had fish that were close to her, so I would pick out the lively ones and take them back to her. Secondly, I wanted to sell fish to her in the future, and let Wangjiagou do that.
If some of them behave well, just mention them.
Because you are waiting and leaving, (the guest leaves).
Let Wang Laobao belong to the centipede, and he would like to get in any place with many legs. Is it so easy to just watch the excitement? Mrs. Xu doesn't believe it. They can be beaten into a ditch in this pile, look at the two bald men,
Her hair was tangled and there were not many hairs on it. Did you know that it was covered by her hair? In short, if you don’t give Wang Laoba a beating, it would be useless for your granddaughter to know two such big officials.
Mrs. Xu has even planned that if she is bullied in Erdaohe Village in the future, she will not ask the reason. Whenever someone comes to make trouble, she will lead others to beat up Wang Laoba.
If Wang Laobao feels that he has been wronged, he will go find out who is causing trouble.
Don't underestimate that little bastard. There are many ways for cats and mice. She just waits until she becomes convinced and beats the bastard.
After Mrs. Xu gave all the money, she ordered the men for the cooking team and the water-boiling and well-pressure team one after another.
As for the above, Mrs. Xu’s arrangements did not take more than half a stick of incense time.
"Everyone, put down what you are doing, and we will rush back to work later. Today is mainly to entertain the general and his party, but it can also be used as an advance rehearsal for the sudden arrival of the caravan."
Mrs. Xu waved her hand and said: "Let's get started."
When gathered it is a ball of fire, when scattered it is a sky full of stars.
As Mrs. Xu started to speak, everyone started to move.
Those who drove to Wangjiagou to collect fish; those who collected eggs and killed chickens in the village; those who steamed rice and delivered vegetables; those who hurried back to get bedding and had to be carried there; those who ran back quickly to clean up the house, those few
The home greeted the soldiers to follow them into the village.
