Chapter 31 The Rat Stealing Pie
Huan Zhen didn’t expect that Mrs. Wang would carry water more than a dozen times! I remembered that when I first met her on Shoushi Slope, she had said that she had been collecting sheep dung on the slope for five years. At that time, she only said that this sentence was ordinary, but
When he was reduced to the lowest-ranking soldier, forced to be busy every day, and on the verge of rage all the time, he realized that the word "hard work" actually meant adding to the pain!
The next day, the sky really cleared up. Wang Ge went out to do laundry. Not far away, he met a pavilion soldier taking measurements on the east-west road.
Is there going to be road construction in the village?
This is a big deal! In ancient times, road planning was not just a random batch of officials. They could build wherever they wanted, either opening commercial roads or adding military roads. Which one does Jiashe Village belong to?
"Sir." Wang Ge walked towards a pavilion soldier wearing a turban.
Ren Su turned around and saw that this village girl was beautiful, and the calmness and gentleness between her brows were similar to his sister, so he lowered his voice and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"
"Sir, is the township going to build a road for our village?"
"Well, we only build longitude and latitude in the village...that is, we only build the north-south road and this east-west road. Outside the village, we build it as far as Linshui Pavilion."
"Great, then when we go to the countryside, most of the way will be easy."
Ren Suzhi thought to himself that this little girl was quite content, unlike some villagers who complained that they could only build it to Linshui Pavilion and complained that it could not reach the countryside.
"If you adults are tired, come to my house for a drink of water and rest. Hey, that's the house. I won't disturb you, I'm going to wash clothes." Wang Ge confirmed that it was enough to build the road. As for why it was built to Jiashe Village
, it’s not something that a commoner like her can think through.
As soon as she turned the corner, Huan Zhen came over with a dusty face. He reported to Ren Suzhi without being humble or overbearing: "Sir, the director of the west side of the road has finished measuring."
"Hmm. Have you recorded how many houses there are on both sides?"
Huan Zhen...
Ren Suzhi "tsk" and just about to get angry, Huan Zhen immediately turned around and said, "Go right now!"
"You bastard! Do you want me to open your ears and tell you one by one about these things? If you do this again next time, don't blame me for slapping you!"
Ren Si! Bastard! Huan Zhen gritted his teeth, took out the tea sauce and put it back. No, there is half of the food left. There is nowhere to buy it for the time being, so I have to save.
Wang Ge and Huan Zhen, who were going against the grain, didn't know at this time that the road they built this time would become the starting point for many brave and knowledgeable people to make contributions to the Jin Dynasty!
Huan Zhen and the other pavilion soldiers left Jiashe Village before noon. Dalang, the landlord of Jia Landlord, personally drove a cart to send gifts to him, but Ren Suzhi politely declined.
At dusk the next day, little Jia came back, wearing a pony top and a newly cut skirt. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she rushed to the main room and apologized to her uncle with red eyes.
When it comes to teaching the bride, the prince usually doesn't say anything.
There was no smile on Jia's face, but she was not harsh either: "I have already told Erlang that he is not allowed to care about this matter anymore, and you are not allowed to hold on to your anger and live a good life as before."
"I know."
"Go back to the house."
"Yes." As soon as Xiao Jia came out, her uneasy expression disappeared. Jun Gu's words could have deceived her a few years ago, but now she understands that pretending to be virtuous will only lead to more and more disadvantages! No,
She made a small fuss and went back to her parents' house for a few days, and she could actually earn some cloth. It didn't matter if her husband was angry with her, she would forget about it in ten and a half months at most.
Under the stern gaze of Mr. Jia, Wang Shu left the utility room dejectedly and returned to the house.
Wang Ge shook her head. The hexagonal bamboo fan had been knitted, and she was now starting to knit the second piece: a pumpkin-shaped food box.
Food boxes were a popular item in the Jin Dynasty, and wealthy people regarded food boxes as a status symbol. The salesman traveled far and wide and saw a lot of the world. If you want the salesman to buy food boxes, they must be durable and unique in appearance.
.
The reason why he chose the pumpkin shape was inspired by Qinghe Village. At that time, Wang Ge realized that many people loved pumpkins, but it was a pity that this vegetable had not been cultivated on a large scale.
In his previous life, Wang Nanxing had seen many pumpkin baskets woven by bamboo craftsmen. He found that the final product was just an oblate body without any ribs or grooves on the melon body. Most of the products with ribs and grooves were made of environmentally friendly materials.
Rattan braiding method.
This tests the bamboo craftsman's idea of daring to innovate. Of course, the premise is that the bamboo craftsman must have solid basic skills so that he can adapt to changes in the creative process.
It was getting dark, so she grabbed the last bit of light to break through the bamboo strips.
The sound of "click" could not be avoided through the utility room and the walls of their respective houses, but Yao was still looking for trouble. She stood at the door and shouted: "It's so noisy!"
Wang Ge pretended not to hear and continued to break the bamboo.
Mrs. Yao strode over and asked through the window: "Can't you hear me?"
"What?" Wang Ge pretended to pick his ears and replied louder than her.
"You're just pretending!" When Mrs. Yao saw Jun Gu coming out, she started to make sense: "You are more capable than us, and you are more diligent, but no matter how diligent you are, you have to wait for your time, right? You can't ignore others, right? Such a big movement
, how do others sleep? Ah Ge, you are not the only ones who live in this courtyard!"
Wang Ge knew as soon as he heard that the eldest mother must have heard the quarrel and came out. Not wanting to make it difficult for her, she took away the wooden stick holding up the straw curtain, sealed the windows, closed the door, and went to fetch water.
Late at night, a short and lean figure tiptoed out of the east wing. It was Wang Zhu. He quickly ran into the kitchen, turned over the lid and placed it on the stove, took out the half piece of cake that Wang Gewen had put on the grate, and ran
Returning to the house, Mrs. Yao held him in her arms and whispered: "Eat quickly and come back after eating, lest your siblings smell the smell and wake up."
Wang Zhu filially tore up a bite and handed it to his mother, then devoured it all.
Wang Ge really didn't expect that half of the cake would be taken care of.
During breakfast, in front of the whole family, she pretended to be puzzled: "The half of my pancake that was poisoned by the rat was really knocked over by the rat last night and took it away. I don't know if it worked or not?"
Ding! Wang Zhu’s chopsticks wiped the table and rolled down to the table. He was so frightened that he opened his mouth and looked at his mother in horror. Yao’s expression was exactly the same as that of his eldest son, and he screamed and rushed over to beat Wang Ge: “You black-hearted man”
Bitch! What do you think?! Put the drugged cake in the hole, you put it in the hole!"
"presumptuous!"
"Why are you hitting people?!"
"Tiger treasure!"
"Brother-in-law, stop it first!"
"Oh!"
"Wow……"
For a time, there were people quarreling, scolding, crying, and even gloating, and the family was in chaos.
In the end, Wang Erlang pushed his brother to his brother-in-law, and then protected Wang Ge behind him, pausing the farce. He was the main force in the fight, and Yao got him several bloody cuts on his face and hands.
What's terrible is that Wang Dalang, who couldn't see anything, was also scratched on the back of his hand!
The dishes were messy, several of the children were in tears, and Wang Zhu lay on the table holding his stomach.
Xiao Jia wanted to scratch her husband's back several times, but Wang He hugged her tightly.
Wang Weng took a few deep breaths, suppressed his strong anger and said: "From now on, no one else is allowed to interrupt! Sanlang's bride and A Ge each said one sentence, what's going on? Who dares to say more, yell again, and then take action?
Get out of this home!" He overturned the case in front of him and pointed at Yao: "Speak first!"
"I'll say it first, I'll say it first!"
Wang Weng pointed at Wang Ge: "It's your turn!"
"Hey?" Yao was about to shout, but Wang Sanlang covered his mouth.
Wang Erlang saw that his brother's reaction was not very fast now. He was as stupid as if his soles were stuck in the mud during the fight. He was disappointed with his brother and felt more disgusted with him.
Wang Ge was concise and clear: "The half piece of cake I saved last night was stolen by A Zhu from Zongli!"
Wang Zhu even felt cramping in his abdomen.
Finally, it was Yao's reincarnation again. She said anxiously: "You are the one who is insidious! Put the drugged cake into the anus! Damn it..."
Wang Ge didn't even need his father to speak to cut off Yao's remarks: "Since you want to cure the mouse, who would put the drugged cake into the anus?"
Yao was extremely angry and laughed: "That's right! You all listen! Who would put the drugged cake into the anvil? And cover it with a lid? Ah? Is it because she was afraid that the mice wouldn't be able to steal it? She did it on purpose!
What a loss of conscience!”
Wang Ge: "I still say the same thing! Who would put medicine-filled cakes into an anus?"
Yao: "How arrogant!"
Wang Ge: “Father, eldest mother! We don’t have rat poison in our house! So I lied about the fact that there was medicine on the cake to scare the cake thief pretending to be a rat!”
Yao's howl stopped suddenly, and he lost his breath and burped loudly.
Chapter completed!
