Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

"Sister!" Cheng Xiaoyu came out with a smile on her face, followed by Cheng Hua and Li Yuan, two little followers.

Cheng Wan handed the bag of mixed dried fruits to Cheng Xiaoyu, "Go and share it with Huahua and Yuanyuan, and leave some for Sanping and Zhuangzhuang."

Cheng Xiaoyu took the dried fruit with both hands, but did not open it immediately to eat. Instead, he whispered: "Sister, Sister Jinxiang's father arrived after we had lunch. I went to the second uncle's house and called the second aunt over. The second aunt asked Liu Yue to serve him a bowl of noodles. We asked him to sit in the main room, but he didn't want to, so he sat in the dining room until now."

"Awan." Xiao Lin and Liu Yue also came out of the kitchen.

Behind the two of them was Jin Xiang's father.

The man was wearing a thin cotton-padded coat that didn't fit him well, and he was slightly bent over. The smile on his face was a bit flattering and humble, and he looked more aged than the last time they met.

"G-girl, I...I'm here to see Jin Xiang."

Cheng Wan greeted her with a warm smile, "Go ahead and sit in the room. I have asked my third brother to pick up Jin Xiang. It will take an hour before Jin Xiang gets home."

The man nodded quickly, "Hey! Hey! This lady told me that Jin Xiang is working in the city now. Girl, I really caused trouble for you."

"It's no trouble. Let's go inside first. It's cold outside."

Cheng Wan's attitude towards Jin Xiang's father was very gentle, and there was no way he could not be gentle when facing such a father.

In the dining room, Jin Xiang's father sat on a stool cautiously. He didn't dare to get close to the table because he was afraid that the dirt on his body would stain the table.

Cheng Wan, Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Xiao Lin were sitting on stools talking to Jin Xiang's father, with Liu Yue accompanying them.

"I, I thought about coming to see her before the New Year, and telling her mother about her situation when I go back, so as to save her mother from always thinking about her during the Chinese New Year. By the way, I, I brought... something for you. .”

As he spoke, Jin Xiang's father bent down and pulled over a basket placed against the wall. He lowered his head and carefully took out two wilted Chinese cabbages, eight clean white radishes, and a piece of quilt. Carefully wrapped pork and placed on the ground.

Jinxiang's father buttoned the corner of his stiff clothes, with a shy look on his yellow and thin face, and said in a low voice, "They are all... worthless things. My mother said it more or less she meant it.

Girls, don't dislike it. The cabbage and radishes are all washed at home. The pork was bought when I passed by the county town closest to here in the middle of yesterday. It should be still fresh. "

Cheng Wan rubbed the tip of her sour nose, smiled brightly, and said in surprise: "Nai, I told you on the way that I wanted to eat dumplings stuffed with radish. It's a coincidence that Uncle Jin just happened to bring radish. "

"Isn't that right?" Old Mrs. Lin smiled and patted her thigh, "Jinxiang's father, thank you so much, otherwise this family wouldn't grow radishes. I would have to find out who grows radishes. The child is greedy. We have to think of recruiting her to do it, right?"

Jinxiang's father's eyes became a little brighter, and his voice became louder, "I said before I came that I wouldn't take it with me, but her mother insisted on me taking it with me. She also said that she was sneaking around and cleaning everything. It’s okay, don’t take it with you and waste it. Fortunately, I took it with me. When I go back and tell my mother, she will be extremely happy!”

Cheng Wan chatted with Jin Xiang's father for a while, then said hello and got up to leave.

She also had to go to the workshop site.

As soon as Cheng Wan left the house, he saw Old Man Lu who was also leaving the house.

"Hey, Mr. Cheng can walk normally again? This is great. Where are you going?"

Cheng Wan blinked twice, "In the village, you can call me whatever you used to call me now. I'm really not used to it when you suddenly call me 'Master Cheng'."

"How can that be done?" Old Man Lu disagreed with his face. "I'm telling you, this habit is developed slowly. You have to let the people in the village slowly get used to calling you 'Master Cheng', so that they can I won’t be indifferent in front of you, don’t forget that you are an official, and talk to you and yell at you!”

Cheng Wan raised her eyebrows slightly and thought to herself, "This possibility cannot be ruled out."

"Nacheng, what you said makes sense. I will listen to you. I have to get used to you calling me 'Master Cheng' from now on."

Old Man Lu had a smile on his face and put his hands behind his back, "That's right."

"Now 'Master Cheng' is going to the workshop site. Where are you going?"

Old Man Lu made a strange salute, "Common people, follow Mr. Cheng. We will go wherever you want."

Cheng Wan was amused by Old Man Lu and burst into laughter.

The old man and the young man have quite similar personalities, and they feel like they have been friends for many years.

Seeing Cheng Wan and Old Man Lu walking towards the workshop construction site laughing, the villagers also followed them.

First, they were curious and worried about Cheng Wan's current physical condition, and wanted to observe whether Cheng Wan's injuries were all healed.

Second, they felt a little sad when they saw that Old Lu and Cheng Wan had such a good relationship, and wanted to learn how Old Lu got along with Cheng Wan.

Third, they wanted to get closer to Cheng Wan as much as possible.

"Eh? Cheng Wan is here!"

"It's really Cheng Wan! Are Cheng Wan's injuries healed?"

"What Cheng Wan, calling Master Cheng! Master Cheng left for the city in the morning, didn't you know?"

"I don't know, but Mr. Cheng is almost doing well!"

……

Cheng Wan smiled and waved to everyone, and then met Village Chief Wu who was walking towards her.

"village head."

Village Chief Wu first saluted Cheng Wan and said, "See Mr. Cheng."

"Hurry up and forgive me." Cheng Wan quickly helped Village Chief Wu up.

Village Chief Wu straightened up and looked Cheng Wan up and down. Seeing that Cheng Wan's face was white and pink, her lips were red, and she was full of energy, he couldn't help but smile and nod.

"Okay, that's all. Don't be so impulsive from now on. If someone who deserves a beating comes to you again, you have to endure it for a while, and then beat him again when he is alone. , to avoid being caught in pigtails.”

Cheng Wan looked at Village Chief Wu with some surprise and found that his expression was very serious.

Cheng Wan smiled and nodded, "Hey! I understand."

"Come on, take a look. Even if these two workshops are completed, the slightly smaller one on the left is the sauce workshop, and the larger one on the right is the tofu workshop."

Cheng Wan followed Village Chief Wu and walked around. The two workshops were the simplest brick and tile buildings with no fancy features. Everything that should be built inside was already built, and all that was needed was to put various tools inside.

"No problem, everyone has worked hard, I will have the two workshops organized as soon as possible, and then start work immediately!

Regarding the issue of recruitment, I will discuss it with the village chief and let him tell everyone.

I have promised to treat you all to a meal, and I have kept it in mind, but I am afraid I won’t have time before the New Year. After the New Year, I will definitely take the time to treat you all to a good meal! "
