Early the next morning, Du Fuling was all ready and waiting outside the Meng Mansion.
Before leaving, Xu Cuiyu went to report to Meng Zhengtang.
"What, that bastard actually wants to build roads!" Meng Zhengtang looked at Xu Cuiyu with a little surprise and said, "When did he get the idea!"
Xu Cuiyu said with a smile: "Master, you are very good at teaching me!"
Meng Zhengtang really didn't expect that the youngest son Zuo Jing, whom he always doted on, would actually make progress.
Xu Cuiyu took the opportunity to say: "Sir, can you put aside the Hong family's affairs for a while? You see, this road construction was undertaken by the Hong family, and my son didn't know about it beforehand. He felt it was time to show off. Accumulate reputation and be filial and honest like his elder brother. We can’t delay our child’s future!”
Meng Zhengtang pondered for a moment and said, "What if the Hong family secretly made a stumbling block."
Xu Cuiyu smiled and said: "No, the Hong family doesn't know that we already know about Taohuasha. Besides, we can use this opportunity to ask the Hong family to issue a recommendation letter to our son. In this way, It’s the best of both worlds, isn’t it?”
Xu Cuiyu's words made Meng Zhengtang suddenly enlightened. He thought that his layout should not be too small. He looked at Xu Cuiyu with satisfaction. Seeing that she was playing short, he asked curiously: "What are you doing?"
Xu Cuiyu said: "I will go with my son, otherwise I won't worry if my son is alone!"
Meng Zhengtang suddenly took off her baggage and said earnestly: "Since he wants to exercise, then he can do it by himself. When will he grow up if you follow him? That's it. He can go by himself. It's just right. His brother is here in Xiangcun, so I told Xingzhou to just take more care of him. You can accompany me to the Chenghuang Temple in the afternoon."
Xu Cuiyu didn't expect that by mistake, she actually let her son go on his own. She originally lied, or she just deliberately promoted her son, but she didn't expect that Meng Zhengtang, who had always pursued self-improvement, would treat her favorite youngest son in the same way. What's more, when he heard that his youngest son took the initiative to develop his own sense of self-improvement, of course he would support it.
Now Xu Cuiyu has one sentence in her mind: shooting herself in the foot.
But who can take care of Meng Heyou for her now? If Meng Heyou really had to go alone, he wouldn't be very relieved. If Meng Xingzhou were to take care of her, she would have to lick her face and beg Chen, which she would never be able to do.
Meng Heyou was also very worried this time. He not only wanted his mother to accompany him, so that he could save himself work, but also help monitor Du Fuling. However, his father's words now put Meng Heyou into the situation of facing difficulties alone.
So when he went out, Meng Heyou specifically asked his mother to see him off. He wanted his mother to know about Du Fuling. If anything happened to him, Xu Cuiyu could save him!
The mother and son were really reluctant to leave when they arrived at the door. Xu Cuiyu gave Meng Heyou all the food she had prepared, and also told him that the Hong family's contacts, Master Song and Mingyue, would look for them when they arrived at the construction team in Dongxiang Village.
After that, Xu Cuiyu still said with some worry: "Son, if something goes wrong, you really have to face it alone. Can you do it?"
Meng Heyou smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, I'm really not the only one."
Xu Cuiyu was stunned and asked, "Who else is there?"
Meng Heyou pointed at the girl standing outside the door with milky breasts, cute pink lips and average features and said: "Mom, her name is Du Fuling. She is Datong, the daughter of Boss Du of Datong Store. We met when we were playing Yes, she also went to do voluntary work there. We happened to be traveling together! I injured my hand yesterday, and it was she who bandaged it for me."
Looking at Du Fuling's harmless appearance, although it is not beautiful, it gives people a feeling of wanting to protect her.
Doesn't look like a bad boy! Xu Cuiyu nodded, and a feeling of love for Du Fuling naturally arose in her heart.
Just like an old woman feels towards her daughter-in-law, Xu Cuiyu smiled and said to Du Fuling: "My son, thank you for bandaging my son. By the way, it is your first time to go out, so please pay attention to safety when traveling together, and... ..." Xu Cuiyu said seriously to Meng Heyou: "You must be reserved and polite towards Miss Du, and don't act like a disciple. Do you remember clearly?"
Meng Heyou said yes, but said in his heart that I dare.
"Miss Du, my son's hand is injured. If there is any heavy work, please help find someone to do it for him." After saying that, Xu Cuiyu handed a bag of silver to Du Fuling.
"Mom, just give it to me, I will find it myself..." Before Meng Heyou could finish speaking, Xu Cuiyu pushed him aside and said to Du Fuling with a smile: "Girls are very careful. If you can bandage up my friend Meng He, she's a good girl. I'm relieved to leave the money and people to you."
While Meng Heyou listened to his mother chatting familiarly with Du Fuling, he beat his chest and stamped his feet. Du Fuling did not expect that Xu Cuiyu would be so relieved of her. It seems that I really love my son very much.
So, Du Fuling simply went ahead and said in a sweet voice: "Don't worry, Auntie, I will take good care of Brother Meng."
Meng Heyou felt sick after hearing this, and started beating his chest and stamping his feet again.
Xu Cuiyu asked in confusion: "Why are you stamping your feet and not beating your chest?"
Meng Heyou was stunned for a moment, then squatted on the ground with an aggrieved look on his face and said, "My hand hurts!"
Xu Cuiyu rolled her eyes at her son, then turned around and said to Du Fuling with a smile: "Ignore him, he has been so pretentious since he was a child. I hope you will take more care of him along the way, Fuling!"
Du Fuling smiled like a cute little flower and said, "Don't worry, Auntie!"
After finishing speaking, Meng Heyou and Du Fuling set foot on the road to Dongxiang Village.
Xu Cuiyu looked at her son's back and shed tears: "Son, you have grown up and someone has taken care of you."
Meng Heyou turned around three times with each step, and shed tears in his heart: "My mother has fallen into a pit of fire, and someone has to take care of her!"
Looking at her son who turned around, Xu Cuiyu held back tears and said, "Go!" Then she turned around and ran into the house and started crying.
Meng Heyou did not dare to tell his mother the truth. First of all, he wanted to give it a try. If he could really make money and gain fame, he would show his parents, brother and aunt that Meng Heyou was also a number one figure.
Secondly, if he told her, Xu Cuiyu would definitely not let him go. Then he would be in trouble, and his debt would be exposed, and his always upright father would definitely beat him to death. Because dad hates other people playing with money.
Therefore, Meng Heyou, who thought he had "shouldered heavy responsibilities", walked in front with his head held high.
"Stop!"
Halfway through, Du Fuling suddenly stopped Meng Heyou.
"What's the matter, Miss Du?" Meng Heyou looked at Du Fuling nervously.
Du Fuling's cute face returned to the frosty color at this moment, and she said in a cold tone: "Just now your mother gave me a bag of silver, I don't want this."
Meng Heyou was overjoyed and said, "Then give it to me!"
Du Fuling gave him a sharp look, and Meng Heyou immediately retracted his outstretched hand.
Du Fuling said: "This money will be used as interest and belongs to me, Datong Archway!"
After hearing this, Meng Heyou snorted coldly, sat on the big bluestone and said, "Humph, you are quite selfless!"
Du Fuling said: "Get up and let's go!"
Meng Heyou didn't get up, and his lazy nature appeared again. He had completely forgotten what he had experienced at Du Fuling's place.
I saw him sweeping away the snow on the big bluestone, spreading a thick cotton cloak, lying on it, wrapping his mink fur tightly, covering him with a fur hat, and said: "Why are you in a hurry? Let's sleep for a while first!"
After finishing speaking, Meng Heyou yawned and closed his eyes to rest.
Du Fuling didn't say anything, she just stepped forward, took out the gold hairpin, and gave Meng Heyou a hard poke in the buttocks as he turned over!
Ouch! Meng Heyou instantly jumped up from the big bluestone, rubbed his buttocks, grinned and ran while shouting: "What are you doing!"
Du Fuling said expressionlessly: "It's called being held back and being pushed backwards. This is how I train my donkey!"
After saying that, Du Fuling took the lead and threw the package to Meng Xingzhou, while she tied the package of money around her waist.
"Carry your luggage and follow me!" Du Fuling walked forward after finishing speaking.
"Do you know the place? Do you know who to hand over to?" Meng Heyou frowned and walked forward to question.
Du Fuling was stunned by this question. She really didn't know.
Meng Heyou acted rogue again: "So little sister, if I go ahead, you should follow behind!"
After finishing speaking, Meng Heyou walked forward triumphantly, as if he had regained a victory, but the two people's luggage was not taken down.
Seeing such a naughty Meng Heyou, Du Fuling hated this bastard second generation ancestor in her heart.
When they arrived at Dongxiang Village, Meng Heyou found Master Song. After expressing his intention, Master Song also knew what the second-generation ancestor was here for, and he didn't have a good attitude, so he asked him to help the workers carry water.
Mingyue was very fond of the new Du Fuling who volunteered to help, and asked: "Why are you willing to come with him? He is a second-generation ancestor, and he is not stingy!"
Du Fuling said: "My father heard that the Hong family has done a lot to benefit the people, so he asked me to come and help. My father has always admired Yuan Hong."
Du Fuling spoke very measuredly and did not directly state her family's desire to make friends with the Hong family. Instead, she placed herself in a relatively low position and praised the Hong family first.
Naturally, the Hong family didn't know much about what happened in Xifeng Village, and they didn't know that the family business Du Fuling said was actually a side project.
When they arrived, Boss Du had already given an order not to reveal their identities. They could only say that they were in the timber business when they needed to do business.
Therefore, Meng Heyou would not be on a business trip, and of course he would not have time to make any mistakes, because at the moment he was learning how to use a pole.
The left shoulder was wrong, the right shoulder was wrong, and in the end he was captured by a pole.
This made everyone present almost laugh out loud.
After half a day's work, I didn't carry much water, and I was almost dead from exhaustion.
The workers of the Hong family didn't know that he was the young master, and they wondered where the useless pretty boy came from!
So some young workers insulted and laughed at him. This boy had a bad temper, so he started fighting with others. In the end, Master Song stepped in to solve the problem.
An old long-term worker saw the clues. He walked up to Meng Heyou calmly and whispered: "I heard you talk and act like a young man. Do you want to promote Xiaolian as a show of work?"
Meng Heyou was startled. When the old man saw him like this, he smiled and said: "So it's really like this. It doesn't matter, I'll teach you. You do it in front of others, and there are some tasks behind others. The old man and my son and grandson will help you finish it." "
Meng Heyou said gratefully: "Thank you very much, father-in-law."
Over there, Du Fuling was assigned to the kitchen and cooked every day. She said she could go to the accounting room to help, but Mingyue dissuaded her.
Since she still had to stay here, in order to look for opportunities, Du Fuling lied and claimed that she could cook. In fact, her worst thing was her cooking skills.
At Datong Archway, whoever can finish the meal she cooked is a symbol of warrior and can really be promoted to deputy hall master!
Crossing the fire ladder, crossing the knife mountain, and eating Poria cocos meal are the three major promotion stages of Datong Archway.
"Poria, hurry up and cook. They will all come to eat later." Mingyue left after giving instructions.
Du Fuling looked at everything in front of him and was stunned.
