"Second Master, this is a tiring job, so let's leave it to the old man." In the open fields, the hard-working farmers all raised their heads and looked this way with a slight smile on their lips.
Wei B held a hoe in his hand and was learning how to loosen the soil from the old farmers. Unfortunately, he had no experience and looked like a digger.
It is already mid-February and spring plowing can begin. The ice and snow have long since melted, and the earth has begun to recover.
Green buds of grass can be seen everywhere waving in the wind, and the sound of gurgling water can be heard in the ditches on both sides of the field ridges.
After the old farmer finished speaking, Wei B gave him a dry laugh and returned the hoe to him. Wei B and Xu Ding next to him said: "Bo Yan, go back and send ten kilograms of food stamps to the old Liu family. After all, it has delayed them for most of the day." When the old farmer heard this, he said a little embarrassedly: "What the second master said, it's not in the way." Yes, it's okay." Although he said this, he didn't mean to refuse the food stamps.
Wei B laughed, took the wet towel handed by Xu Chu, wiped his hands, and said: "Old Liutou, is there no one else in your family? You are the only one responsible for the reclamation of ten acres of land. I'm afraid it's a bit overwhelming. ?" The old farmer paused and smiled bitterly: "To be honest with you, there are four people in my family, including my mother-in-law and two sons. It's just that the eldest son has been busy with team training recently..." Xu Ding interjected from the side: "Master, do you still remember Liu Datou? He is Old Liu's son." Wei B nodded slightly. Of course he remembered that when he was in the Qingya Department, he achieved a lot of good stories.
When the old farmer saw that Wei B knew his eldest son, he smiled proudly, but the smile was a little forced.
When Wei B saw this, he frowned and said, "Why, are there any difficulties at home?" The old farmer looked at Xu Ding hesitantly, as if it was difficult to say anything.
Xu Ding glanced at him and said angrily: "Young master, you don't know. This Liu Datou is either married to a... or a Han who came back from the Qingya Department last time." Wei B was stunned and looked at the old farmer. .
Xu Ding continued: "That woman is a talented person. She was recruited by Xun Wenruo to be the head of the Wei Office, in charge of the soup business in the city. The young master has also met this woman and praised her a few words." Wei B thought for a while and blurted out: " Is it Manager Zhang?" Xu Ding looked at the old farmer, nodded and said, "Yes, it's Zhang Hui." The old farmer smiled bitterly and did not dare to refute. After all, it was a family scandal, and now, the mother-in-law of the family is bringing people to the house to make trouble.
As Xu Ding is the head of internal affairs in Anyi, basically nothing that happens in the city escapes his control.
Especially this matter involved the big shopkeeper of the bathhouse. After listening to Xu Ding's story, Wei B couldn't help but frown deeply.
It turned out that after the Liu family learned that Zhang Hui was pregnant, they came to their door again and again and asked Zhang Hui to return the child to the Liu family after giving birth.
.naThe reason why Wei B frowned was not because the Liu family was fighting for the custody of their children. But it feels like the Liu family's goal is not to have children, but to force Zhang Hui to remarry.
Wei B still remembered Liu Datou's appearance, and of course he had a certain impression of Zhang Hui. Before he came, Liu Datou was not worthy of Zhang Hui.
If we put aside the life-saving grace, the possibility of the two of them getting together is almost zero. If it weren't for Liu Datou's good luck in saving Zhang Hui, Zhang Hui would not be willing to marry him.
On this point, anyone who has met Zhang Hui and Liu Datou will basically think so. Whether it is image, knowledge, or background, the two are very different.
The upper limit of Liu Datou's life is probably to be a city guard instructor. As for Zhang Hui, although she is only a big shopkeeper now, according to Xun Yu's judgment, she still has a lot of room to explore.
You must know that in this era, a literate person is still proficient in arithmetic, and if he has a little eloquence and agility in dealing with people, he has already surpassed 99% of ordinary people in the world.
"Old Liu, Old Liu, it's not good, your mother-in-law is having a quarrel with the city guard, and your second son, hurry up, go find the big head to save people." The three of them were talking, and a man in the distance was carrying a The man in the cargo basket ran over in a hurry.
When the old farmer heard this, he collapsed on the ground and cried: "What a sin, I told them not to make trouble a long time ago, but they just didn't listen, they just didn't listen..." Wei B and Xu Ding looked at each other, and the latter looked at that The young man waved and motioned for him to come over and talk.
Only then did the young man discover Wei B and his party. Seeing this, he stepped forward angrily and recounted what had happened.
It turned out that Liu Datou's mother took her young son to the city to find Zhang Hui early in the morning. This was not the first time. The previous few times they had blocked people in the bathhouse. This time the two of them learned the lesson and blocked people directly. On the way into town.
Zhang Hui still lives in a satellite city outside the city and goes to the city on time to go to work every morning. Unexpectedly, he was blocked directly at the city gate this morning.
When I saw my former mother-in-law and my brother-in-law, Zhang Hui was also two older than the other. Mrs. Liu Yang, also known as Liu Datou's mother, was a person who would not give up until her goal was achieved. She grabbed Zhang Hui on the street and tried to drag him home.
The city guards guarding the city gate also tried to persuade them, but when they heard that Zhang Hui was the daughter-in-law of the old Liu family and the wife of a colleague, Liu Datou, several team members felt at a loss what to do and didn't know what to do. .
After all, it is a family matter, and the people will not investigate it if they do not bring it to justice. When Zhang Hui was being dragged out of the city gate by Liu Yang and his brother-in-law, a sudden shout attracted everyone's attention.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Fei stepped forward and pushed Liu Yang away, scolding: "Didn't you see she was pregnant?" At the same time, Zhang Fei looked at the gatekeepers of the city guard and said in a deep voice: " This is how you are on duty. When you see someone committing murder in the street, don't you know how to step forward and stop him?" The squad leader said aggrievedly: "Commander Zhang, it's not that my brothers don't care, it's really..." Zhang Fei glared at him. He glanced back at Zhang Hui, who was sobbing with tears in his eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "You are such a young lady, you are so dragged by life, don't you know how to go to the guardhouse to report your death?" Zhang Hui looked up and looked up. Zhang Fei, who was a head taller than her, shook his head, as if he didn't want to delve deeper.
Zhang Fei snorted coldly. At this moment, Liu Yang, who had been pushed to the ground by him, suddenly stood up, rushed up to Zhang Fei, meowed and pawed, and shouted heartbreakingly: "You are a person who has been stabbed a thousand times, do you know who my son is?" , you hit me, I'm going to arrest you, arrest you!" Zhang Fei looked down at the arrogant and domineering old woman, sneered, and asked: "Oh, tell me, who is your son?" The old woman She was about to say that her son was the instructor of the City Guards. Zhang Hui, who didn't want to lower her head and cry, grabbed her and said bitterly: "Don't say any more. Are you going to kill Datou?" Zhang Hui said Although she hated Liu Yang, she still remembered Liu Datou's life-saving grace. She had already learned the identity of the strong man in front of her from the captain of the city guard... Only the Longshan Army had the position of captain.
In other words, Liu Datou, a mere coach of the City Guards, was not enough in the eyes of the strong man in front of him.
"Commander Zhang, Zhang Hui, a civilian woman, please show me your noble hand. Mrs. Liu Yang did not mean to offend." Zhang Hui begged Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei didn't bother arguing with an old woman, he just frowned and looked at Zhang Hui curiously.
"What did you say your name was?" Zhang Hui responded truthfully: "A civilian woman Zhang Hui." Zhang Fei raised his thick eyebrows, looked Zhang Hui up and down, and suddenly asked: "Do you recognize Zhang Hong from Zhuo County?" Zhang Hui's expression first changed. As soon as he changed, he excitedly stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Fei's arms.
"Commander Zhang recognizes my brother. Wait, your surname is Zhang too?" Zhang Fei looked at the woman in front of him who looked a little like his cousin Zhang Hong. His eyes widened suddenly and he held Zhang Hui's hand behind his back, excited. He said: "Sister Xiaohui, don't you remember me? I am Zhang Fei!" Zhang Hui exclaimed: "Xiao Feifei!" Zhang Fei: -_-#
"Sister, my name is Zhang Fei, and my courtesy name is Yide. Who are you, Xiao Feifei?"
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's just that I, I, was so excited. You, you have changed so much that my sister almost didn't recognize you." Zhang Hui said with a choked voice, not forgetting to put her hand on Zhang Fei's face. Touching and pinching shows how deep the relationship between the two is.
When he was a child, Zhang Fei's family was rich. After all, he was a meat seller. He ate freely and was fat. He was not as tall as he is now. (Refer to Peng Yuyan and Wei Daxun here.) But now, Zhang Fei is not only nearly two meters tall, but also has tendons all over his body. The skin is also much darker.
Zhang Fei also sighed repeatedly and asked curiously: "Sister, didn't you marry to Hanoi County? How could you?" Zhang Hui's eyes dimmed when he heard this.
"In August last year, the Hu people went south to plunder, targeting the rich households in the city..." After all, he is a member of Zhang Fei's clan, and he pays attention to a well-matched family. Zhang Hui married a local rich man in Hanoi, and his life was originally comfortable and prosperous, but he didn't want to When she met the barbarians, not only her family was destroyed, but she was also reduced to a daughter-in-law in the Qingya tribe.
"Okay, sister, this is all over. Let's not mention it anymore. Come on, follow me. We, brother and sister, will find a place to have a good chat." Zhang Fei consoled her.
Hearing this, Zhang Hui smiled and shook his head.
"Xiao...Yide, don't be anxious. My sister is living in a satellite city outside the city. She has to go to work right now. I can't catch up with you. Come and find me later."
"Sister, are you working in the city?"
"Yes, Mr. Meng Xun trusts him and serves as the shopkeeper in Tangchi!" Zhang Fei was surprised and happy.
"As expected of you, sister. Okay, I have to go to the group training. I'll find you later." There was a lot of delay here. The Longshan Army's group training was probably going to be late. Zhang Fei looked at Liu Yang who was aside. She asked in a deep voice: "Sister, what are you going to do with this old woman?" Zhang Hui looked at Liu Yang, who was already stunned with fright, and his heart softened, and he wanted to intercede for her.
Unexpectedly, I remembered the sound of footsteps behind me, and then I heard someone say: "According to the rules, no one can plead for her." Everyone looked around and saw that the person who came was none other than Wei B, bringing brothers Xu Ding and Xu Chu. Yes, along with Lao Liu Tou and others.
Seeing her husband, Mrs. Liu Yang hurriedly went up to join him. He didn't want to be stopped directly by Xu Chu. Guard B looked at the Liu Yang family, then at the city gate which was surrounded by water, and said in a cold voice: "The city guards on duty today are here." Zhang Fei looked at several members of the city guards and mourned for them in his heart.
"See, I've seen the young master." Several team members were ready to die, and they scolded Liu Yang eighty-one times in their hearts.
Wei B pointed at the pedestrians in three circles inside and three circles outside, as well as the caravans and convoys that were blocked at the city gate and could not enter.
"Why don't you take the person to the guardhouse first?" The team leader lowered his head bitterly and explained: "I think it's a family matter, so it's not easy to arrest the person directly, so, just..."
"What? Just because of your hesitation, so many people blocked the city gate and prevented the shops in the city from operating normally. Do you know how much impact your momentary action will have? If the city is blocked at this time, Is there someone seriously injured outside who needs to go to the city for treatment?”
"..." The captain lowered his head and admitted his mistake. Guard B glanced at several team members angrily, and finally pointed at a young man who dared to look at him, and said: "You will be the captain from now on, evacuate the crowd immediately." The young man's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed. The captain in front of him sighed softly and started to evacuate the crowd with a few colleagues.
However, before that, he pointed at Mrs. Liu Yang and said in a deep voice: "Now I am arresting you for disturbing public order. Later, you can ask your family to go to the guard station to file a complaint. Go and arrest you." Mrs. Liu Yang originally thought Nothing happened to her, and she didn't want to escape in the end, so she hurriedly looked to her husband for help.
Old Liu Tou looked at Wei B and knew that the man in front of him was Anyi, the most powerful person in Hedong. With just one word from him, his mother-in-law could be spared from jail... It seemed like he didn't dare to speak.
Wei B looked at the new team leader with satisfaction, then looked back at Zhang Fei and Zhang Hui. Zhang Fei chuckled and said, "Sir, this is my sister." Zhang Hui bowed her hands and said, "Zhang Hui, a civilian woman, has met Wei Shijun." Wei b nodded slightly, glanced at Zhang Fei, and then looked at Zhang Fei while he was reading. Hui, the old Zhang family has a good foundation. The facial features of the two siblings are somewhat similar. Zhang Fei must have recognized the right person.
"There is no need to do this. From now on, we can call him the same as Yide. I don't like the honorific title of Shijun." Zhang Fei chuckled, lowered his head and whispered to Zhang Hui: "Sister, I don't know, the master will not let us be granted the title, otherwise I will Now he is also a powerful general in the imperial court." Zhang Hui nodded in surprise and bowed apologetically to Wei B, saying that he had no intention of offending.
Wei B naturally wouldn't argue with her. He glanced at Zhang Fei and said in a deep voice: "Why, why don't you go to the group training? Aren't you afraid of being late and being trained?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Fei took out his pocket watch from his arms and exclaimed: " Sister, I’m going to team training first, and I’ll look for you later.” Zhang Hui smiled and motioned for him to go quickly.
After Zhang Fei left. Wei B looked at the gradually evacuating crowd and entered the city one after another with Zhang Hui.
"Manager Zhang."
"Sir, please speak." Wei B suddenly stopped and looked back at Xu Ding and Xu Chu, who took a few steps back knowingly.
When Zhang Hui saw this, his heart skipped a beat. He wondered what Wei B was going to say. Could it be that he had any thoughts about me, a pregnant woman?
next moment. Wei B said in a calm tone: "Next, I will send someone to check the details of your life experience. It may be offensive, so please don't mind."
"A civilian woman has an innocent background..."
"Don't be afraid. As long as there is no problem with your identity, I will not only not embarrass you, but may also reuse you, provided that your abilities can meet my requirements."
"I wonder what the request is?"
"Do you know which industry is the most profitable? Do you know which direction the bathhouse is going to develop?" Zhang Hui touched his belly and secretly breathed a sigh of relief...
