"Master Tang, please take a good rest today. Tomorrow... I can't do it tomorrow. Tomorrow is not a holiday. We will come back to Shanghe Village the day after tomorrow."
When Tang Ping returned to Chang'an, he naturally wanted to return to his home in Shanghe Village, so he would not enter Chang'an City tonight.
"You two adults, walk slowly!"
Tang Ping, who was usually lazy, basically had "meetings" all day today, but he didn't feel tired at all. Instead, he started to feel faintly excited.
It felt...actually a bit like he was playing a construction game.
He has always been very interested in games such as "City Skylines" and "Dyson Sphere Project", and the current Tang Dynasty looks vaguely like his territory in the game.
Although everything here cannot be operated at will like in the game, wouldn't it be more interesting this way?
"Proprietor!"
"The proprietor is back!"
When we arrived at the entrance of the village, it was already dark, but Tang Ping taught Wang Tieniu how to turn on the street lights when he left, so the street lights were still on.
Now that the weather is getting warmer, many children who want to save fuel are still reading books given to them by Tang Ping under the street lamps. Some women are also doing needlework under the lamps.
Everyone became excited when they spotted Tang Ping's pickup truck slowly driving into the village.
Although Tang Ping had only been away for half a month, everyone felt like they had lost their backbone.
Nowadays, the villagers of Shanghe Village are living the best among the surrounding villages, and such changes in life are of course inseparable from one person, and that is Tang Ping.
So Tang Ping had only been gone for a week, and some people began to worry about whether he would never come back. Although many people in the village didn't say anything, they were worried in their hearts. Now that they saw Tang Ping's pickup truck, everyone was boiling.
"What are you yelling for? Why don't you get out of the way for the proprietor?" Lao Zhoutou waved his cane and pushed aside the children who were sitting on the road with benches and reading.
Then he held his cane and stood under the street lamp, grinning at Tang Ping with half his teeth missing.
"Uncle Zhou, how are you?" Tang Ping rolled down the window and asked with his elbow on the window.
I haven’t seen these folks from Shanghe Village for half a month, and this meeting was really cordial.
"Very good, very good!" Seeing Tang Ping being the first to greet him, Old Zhou smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyebrows.
Not to mention meeting him, he had never heard of such a good employer in the world. He was not allowed to work in the fields after he was sixty years old. Every month, he received the same amount of rice, flour, grain, oil and vegetables as the strong laborers in the village.
My son can still read and read, but he knows that his stomach is often uncomfortable, so what kind of wine and stomach are he given to him?
After drinking it with water, I drank two sachets a day. After drinking it, my whole stomach felt warm and I hadn’t felt pain in a long time.
"Proprietor, have you eaten? My mother-in-law made pancakes today, do you want some?"
"The food cooked by Miss Luo is much more delicious than that cooked by your mother-in-law! Boss, my son caught some river shrimps in the river today, and I thought it was time for you to come back, so I kept them at home for you. I’ll ask Wazi to bring it to you.”
"Proprietor, look, these are the eggs laid by the ducks that Erya and I drove. My mother cooked them for me today. I originally planned to keep them for a while before going to bed, so I'll give them to you first!"
Although the young and old in the village moved out of the way, they all stood on the roadside and chatted enthusiastically with Tang Ping.
Tang Ping also talked to everyone without any pretense, and while talking, he casually handed the snacks at hand to the children.
The children will be happy to thank Tang Ping when they get the snacks.
At this moment, two tall figures rushed over.
"Brother Ping, I've been waiting for you to come back!"
"Du He? Fang Yiai?" Tang Ping didn't know why these two people were waiting for him in Shanghe Village: "Why are you here? Your father just sent me to the entrance of the village. You have to take two steps to catch up. superior……"
"Don't!" The two of them yelled, shrinking their heads as if they were afraid of being seen. They looked at the entrance of the village and then felt relieved: "Don't let our father know."
"Proprietor, these two young masters will be waiting in the village this afternoon." Old Zhoutou said to the side.
Tang Ping frowned, he was here specifically to find him, and judging from the looks on their faces, they were afraid that they might be in trouble, or that they couldn't let their father know.
"Let's go back to the store first!" This is not a place to talk on the road. It's only a few steps from the convenience store.
He told the villagers to have a good rest and come to their yard tomorrow morning to pick up some East Vietnamese specialties he had brought for them. Tang Ping drove the car into the garage.
When I walked from the garage to the front yard, I saw Du He and Fang Yiai rubbing their hands anxiously.
"What's wrong with you two?"
"Brother Ping, I took the liberty of coming here today, but if we don't look for you, we really don't know who to look for." Du He said with a sad look on his face.
"Tell me what it is first!"
The two of them were actually only a few years younger than Tang Ping, but they were still at the age of high school students anyway. In addition, Tang Ping and their fathers had been talking about "state affairs" for a whole day today.
Fang and Du were considered equals to him, so he vaguely regarded them as juniors at this moment.
"It's actually Cheng Chumo, he was detained!"
"You were detained? Why?"
"Hey!" The two of them sighed and said with infinite annoyance: "It's not like we were tricked. This morning when we came out of the official school, a group of people gathered around the roadside and were gambling. The man boasted that he was unparalleled in the world, and he was silent and unconvinced. , I have to go up and gamble with others."
"In the end, I lost 6,000 yuan! I was also detained there!"
"Fortunately, General Cheng went to the military camp today, but if he still can't redeem the person tomorrow, or if he goes to their house, you know General Cheng's temper. I'm afraid Chu Mo will be beaten to death!"
The two people talked about what happened. To put it simply, Cheng Chumo was tricked into gambling on the street, and he lost the bet.
Tang Ping rolled his eyes after hearing this. Of course he understood the principle of losing nine out of ten bets, but he just didn't expect that a fool like Cheng Chumo would fall for such a trick.
"So what do you want to come to me for?"
Du He and Fang Yiai looked at each other, and then said with some embarrassment: "I just want to ask you if you can take some money. Let's go and redeem Chu Mo first. Don't worry, we will definitely pay you back the money!"
"Yes, yes!" Fang Yiai nodded desperately: "We will definitely pay back the money. If you don't pay back, we can come to your Shanghe Village to help you work!"
In fact, the brothers really had no choice. If they wanted to find so much money in a short period of time, other than those from aristocratic families, there were only money banks.
But they have never dealt with the family members of Chang'an very well. Isn't borrowing money from the other party just like bowing to the other party?
And they didn't dare to go to the bank. After much deliberation, among the people they knew, only Tang Ping, who would be in Chang'an today, could lend them money.
Moreover, during this period of time, their fathers often mentioned Tang Ping's name at home, almost praising him as being unparalleled in the world, and asking the two of them to learn more from Tang Ping.
Although they were afraid of their father, they also admired him, so their fathers respected him so much, which also made Tang Ping's status in their hearts very high.
"Well, I'll go take a look with you tomorrow!" Tang Ping looked at the sky: "If you two rush back now, you can still go home before the curfew!"
