The husband of the time-travelling ruffian
Chapter 30 Eat enough, don't get beaten!
Zhao Chen went home after Laba, and he left after drinking a bowl of Laba porridge as Wang Yunda said. The servant bowed his hands respectfully: "Master Zhao, shall we go now?"
Zhao Chen's teeth were in pain, and his hands were itchy and wanted to hit someone.
Shopkeeper Wan is very sensible. When the boy came here, he brought a lot of cloth. Some made clothes for adults. Of course, more are for children. They are soft and breathable, and they will never hurt children’s skin. Look beaming.I also brought two bolts of pure white soft cotton cloth, which are very different when mixed with colorful cloth.
Zhao Chen looked curious, and the boy explained in a low voice: "This is for making diapers for children!"
The things were piled up at their house, not to mention, it was really shorthanded by others, Zhao Chen had nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only go back to the winery in the car honestly.
As soon as he left, someone came to the house on the back foot. It was his relative who was out of reach, Xia Chun.
Xia Chun has passed the period of being sad for Zhao Qingji, and now he is starting to get married for his third son, Zhang Luo. Some time ago, when Zhao Chen came back, he looked like a beggar full of alcohol, and he worried for a while, thinking that Zhao Chen really looked like what Zhao Daliang said , Started not to learn again.
But today, when the carriage outside the door appeared, the previous deduction was overthrown in an instant. The carriage was obviously the carriage of the Wang family. He had come back once before, so he really believed it!
Didn't you see that Zhao Chen was picked up by someone in a carriage? He didn't learn well in the city again, and he was doing big things with Fulinmen's young master!
So when Zhao Chen had just left, Xia Chun couldn't wait any longer, and hurried to Zhao Chen's house to inquire about the situation.
Zhang Xu is sitting on the kang and threading needles. His appetite has improved a while ago, and he can eat a lot. His face has become plump. His originally stern face has become rich. No, I always have to touch it when I get home.Only Zhang Xu's expression was light, and a pair of phoenix eyes looked at him calmly, so that he only dared to touch Zhang Xu unscrupulously when he fell asleep in the middle of the night.
When Xia Chun came, he saw Zhang Xu lying on the kang with a calm face and contentedly. The appearance of a happy life made him panic. The shopkeeper of Wanda sent some fabrics, which made the family's clothes directly up to several grades. , Zhang Xu was wearing a green one with a pure white inner jacket, which he made himself later on. After all, he had a big belly, and Zhao Chen couldn't wear the one he bought at the clothing store.
The light color makes Zhang Xu's face more watery, with long black hair and clear phoenix eyes, looking at it, it really looks like a wealthy husband of a rich family looking at an ugly servant in the country.Xia Chun didn't know where to put his hands and feet.Zhao Qingji took all the money in the family, and the family's food and clothing expenses became tense. The family was in a bad mood, and their faces were naturally gray, and they couldn't compare to Zhang Xu.
Seeing that Xia Chun didn't speak, Zhang Xu could only speak first: "Excuse me?"
Xia Chun said in a daze, "Am I your uncle?" Xia Chun's words woke him up, didn't he, he is still Zhao Chen's uncle, there is such a relationship, he Zhao Chen is rich, isn't he Does he also have a long face? At this moment, he even forgot that they had separated.
Hasn't Zhang Xu seen this uncle? After all, when Zhao Chen had no money, his uncle had no time to hide from him.Zhang Xu hesitated for a while before asking, "What's the matter here, uncle?"
Xia Chun sat next to Zhang Xu familiarly: "It's all right, I just came to see you, this pregnant little brother is very important, and there is no shortage of people around him."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ama Zhang Xu said as he entered the door: "Brother Xu, come and eat some more, I boiled this porridge to a pulp, and put brown sugar and longan in it, it's good to eat, Come and taste it." The slap in the face on the spot made Xia Chun's smile stiffen.
As soon as Zhang Xu looked up, he saw the person sitting next to Zhang Xu, and was startled. He didn't even know when this person came in!If the person who came was not a little brother, but a man, and his brother Xu is still pregnant with a baby, what's the matter?
Ama Zhang Xu's face changed, and she almost opened her mouth to scream.It was Zhang Xu who recovered first and introduced: "Ah, is this Zhao Chen's uncle? Zhao Chen is out, and he came to see me."
Grandma Zhang Xu lowered his head. He didn't dare to meet strangers yet, so he said oh-oh twice, handed the porridge to Zhang Xu, and sat next to Zhang Xu, watching Xia Chun warily.He is not familiar with the name Xia Chun, but even if he doesn't go out, he also knows that Zhao Chen's family and his uncle's family are separated, and the relationship is not very good. What does it mean to see someone now?
Zhang Xu looked amused at his aunt's appearance, and said, "Ah, it's a holiday today, and the guests are here. Is there any porridge at home? Give Uncle Mo a bowl too."
Aunt Zhang Xu glanced at Zhang Xu, and Zhang Xu winked, indicating that he should save some face, after all, they were Zhao Chen's relatives, and Zhao Chen could tear his face apart, but they couldn't do too much.
Aunt Zhang Xu went to serve the porridge. Xia Chun couldn't help swallowing when he saw the bowl Zhang Xu was carrying: "The Laba porridge in your house is really unique, not to mention thicker than other's, and there are many kinds of it. It smells delicious."
Grandma Zhang Xu came in with the porridge and handed it to him: "I think it's good, you have two bites, too, all cooked at home."
Xia Chun hurriedly served the porridge. Their family didn't have a single coin. Where could they buy all kinds of beans?Zhao Chen's porridge put brown sugar and red dates in his mouth, and the lingering fragrance of the porridge was sweet, and Xia Chun forgot to ask questions.
Xia Chun was a little embarrassed, and didn't dare to ask for another bowl, and Zhang Xu was not willing to serve it for him.Xia Chun looked at the clothes material spread on Zhang Xu's legs and said, "This is for making clothes for the baby in my belly. This material is really good. Your Zhao Chen is really developed."
Zhang Xu didn't say a word, drinking the porridge slowly.
Xia Chun sneered, and continued: "I saw a carriage coming to your door again today, it must be the carriage of the owner of Fulinmen!"
Zhang Xu said, "Yes."
"Looking at that car, you will be rich. Last time I saw Wang Shaodong's family, they were handsome and decent, but I don't know if this family is married now?"
Zhang Xu finally looked at him, and said, "This is someone else's business, I don't know about it."
Xia Chun didn't come up with any accurate words, he was a little anxious, and said: "Young Master should attach great importance to Boy Chen, right? Boy Chen doesn't know about this?"
Zhang Xu said indifferently: "There is no reason to talk to Fu Lang about the affairs of the men in the family. Besides, it is someone else's family affairs. Of course, I am the head of the family.
Xia Chun didn't dare to ask anymore, and felt that he couldn't speak, and was a little frustrated. Later, he thought that the young master got married anyway, and the third son of his family was the same as his side husband. There was nothing wrong, and the frustration disappeared. I also want to inquire about other information, such as what is this Zhao Chen doing with the young master?After all, we are relatives, at least we should be promoted.Zhang Xu didn't give him another chance, and said, "There is still some Laba porridge at home. Uncle, if you don't mind it, take it back and give it to uncle and others to try. I'm a little tired, so I won't keep uncle."
One sentence sent people away.
Xia Chun wanted to stay, but he had no excuses, so he could only go out holding the crock pot of porridge that Ama Zhang Xu pushed him.As soon as he went out, the door of Zhao's house was closed tightly with a slam.It was Zhao Chen who had just left and closed the door before letting Xia Chun in.
Aunt Zhang Xu rushed to Zhang Xu when he went back to the house, and said, "This man is really big-hearted, why did he even inquire about the young master's family? Is the young master's family something they can miss?"
Zhang Xu said: "If he wants to think about it, he can think about it. After all, if it's not their family, it's not their family's. What's the use of thinking about it."
Grandma Zhang Xu sighed: "That's right. I don't want him anymore. Let's stay away from his house in the future, as long as our family can take care of itself." After these few months, life has been comfortable, and Grandma Zhang Xu's health is gradually getting worse. I got better, and sure enough, my heart disease needs heart medicine. There are not so many troubles, and natural people are also energetic.He still doesn't go for a stroll in the village, but if he has nothing to say to Zhang Xu, he will be happy.
Xia Chun returned home with the porridge pot in his arms, and just caught up with a few husbands who came to visit frequently. They sat down and chatted. Seeing Xia Chun coming back, they started talking about the village. Strange, of course it was Zhao Chen who talked the most.
"What is this? It smells good, is it porridge?" Someone asked a lot when they saw the crock pot.
Xia Chun rolled his eyes, and said: "Isn't that right? These are boiled beans from the young owner of Fulinmen, and there are some longan in it. Oh, we small family, how do we know what it is? It's just boiled." The porridge is delicious!"
Some people started to be envious: "Then give us a taste too. Our family celebrates Laba. It would be great if we can cook corn and mung beans, but we can't make this taste!"
Xia Chun hugged the porridge jar into his arms, and said meanly: "You greedy ones, you just know how to eat it. This porridge is not for you, it is specially for my family's Ruyi!"
Ruyi, the younger brother of Xia Chun's family, is not yet married. After hearing Xia Chun's specious words, everyone began to ask tentatively: "You Ruyi and that young master...??"
Without saying a word, he asked with his eyes.Xia Chun held his neck high in complacency, and the corners of his mouth were raised. If he didn't give an accurate statement, his appearance was obviously an admission.
The younger brother of Zhao Daliang's family has climbed up the tall branches!
This is a big deal!
Everyone was dumbfounded, looked at each other, and finally said goodbye to Xia Chun, and went to gossip with others.There is no entertainment in the countryside, and Zhao Chen’s nonsense has been circulating for ten and a half months without a new chapter, and now there is finally a topic, a group of old women can make a story into a flower in one night, and the content spreads more and more. Huahua, the first day she said that the young master of Fulinmen and Zhao Daliang's youngest son were having trouble, and the next day she said that Zhao Ruyi was already engaged to the young master!
Someone asked Xia Chun to find out the truth, Xia Chun laughed, and his proud neck stretched out: "One day, I must invite you to a wedding!"
What he said was vague, and others only took him to admit it!Words spread even more flowery.It was even rumored that the little brother of the Zhao family was already a member of the young master's family!
The men in the village are not as gossipy as their husbands, but when they meet Zhao Daliang, they must say a word of congratulations to Zhao Daliang, which makes Zhao Daliang confused.
When Zhao Chen came back, Zhang Xu told him about it.Zhao Chen laughed instead: "It doesn't matter, let them say it, Wang Yunda has tormented me so much these days, he came to our Xiliu Village for a stroll on his own, and he deserved some scandals about him!"
Zhao Chen said that he didn't care, but on the second day after returning home, he brought back wolfdog pups from other villages, three of them in one hug, and someone asked him why he carried so many.Zhao Chen said bluntly: "There are only two little brothers in the house. It's not safe after all. I'm not at home occasionally. With these bastards, I can always prevent random people from entering my house!"
Zhao Chen was concerned about safety. Fortunately, he was not at home these days, and the second-timers in the village did not come to make trouble.If not, Zhao Chen would feel scared after thinking about what happened.In the past, he would eat enough for one person and the whole family would not be hungry. If there were thieves in the house, it didn't matter, and there was nothing good in his house.It's different now, he also has a family.Zhao Chen learned his lesson and made a special trip to old man Li's house before going to the winery again.When the house was built, he lived in Old Man Li's house for nearly two months, and the relationship between Zhao Chen and Old Man Li's family has improved.
Zhao Chen has to go to the wine shop to watch for a few days. The wine making equipment has been prepared, and now he is waiting for the first pot of wine. It is a tense moment. Zhao Chen can't leave, so he can only let old man Li go to their house to sit. Sit down, it's a place for the town, old man Li is a doctor, and no one in the village dares to offend the doctor, because he is afraid that if there is a headache in the future, what will old man Li do if he lets go.
It was old man Li and his son who came to open the door. His name was Li Bin. He brought his family back at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month. He was ten years older than Zhao Chen.Zhao Chen reported his name, but Li Bin didn't dare to let him in. Old man Li came out to welcome him in.
Li Bin's husband was quick-witted but taciturn when he saw strangers. He poured tea for Zhao Chen and stopped talking.
Zhao Chen explained the purpose of his visit, and Old Man Li did not refuse, and finally said: "Don't tell me, when you lived in my house, brother Xu cooked for me every day, and the taste was good. I'm addicted to it, wait for you to leave I'm still not used to it!"
Zhao Chen laughed loudly: "If you like to eat, go tell Brother Xu yourself, let Brother Xu cook and add yours, and take care of three meals a day."
Old man Li rolled his eyes at him: "What nonsense are you talking about? Brother Xu has been pregnant for almost eight months, how dare you let him move around?"
Zhao Chen was baffled, even though Zhang Xu was pregnant, he just acted like a man with a ball, it was nothing.But after hearing old man Li say this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.He said: "What's the matter?..."
Old man Li snorted: "I am most afraid of the first three months of pregnancy, and the last three months. In the first three months, I am afraid that the fetus will not be able to sit still. In the last three months, I am afraid that the baby will come out early. If you are not careful, adults and children will have to worry about it." No life, thanks to the fact that you are still the child's father, you don't know anything!"
Zhao Chen suddenly felt that the vitality in Zhang Xu's stomach was really tenacious. For the first three months, he drank wild vegetable soup with Zhang Xu every day. Zhang Xu was busy and didn't say that he wanted any special care. Zhang Xu didn't ask for much, and Zhao Chen didn't pay much attention because he was a big-hearted person. He even often forgot that Zhang Xu had a child in his stomach, and Zhang Xu was a babysitter. !
Zhao Chen took a sip of tea to hide his embarrassment: "Thanks to Dr. Li reminding me, then you can help me to see more in the future, I am a father this time, so I have no experience at all."
Old man Li said with a smile: "Brother Xu is obedient, and I probably didn't tell you if there was any discomfort."
"What else could be uncomfortable?" Zhao Chen asked.
"Sore back, numbness, frequent urination, frequent cramps, too many things. You don't pay attention when you are not pregnant, and brother Xu doesn't tell you. It's okay, pay more attention in the future. Now that you are not at home, I guess it is Zhang Xu Ah so much more effort."
Zhao Chen lowered his head, it was not easy getting to know Zhang Xu again, and he began to think about what to do to make up for Zhang Xu.He had to rush to the wine shop, got up before he sat down, and said to Li Bin and his husband before leaving: "My husband doesn't often walk around in the village, and there is no one to talk to on weekdays. Sister-in-law, if you are free , just go to my house and sit down."
Mrs. Li Bin looked at Li Bin. Li Bin didn't say anything, but old man Li readily agreed: "Okay, I'll take my son Mrs. Lang to your house to recognize you!"
Zhao Chen rarely showed a simple and honest smile.
When he returned to the winery, he paid attention to the safety of the winery. In the past, the wine was as light as water, and there were no safety hazards. Now the wine can catch fire without a spark. After all, it is still easy to catch fire, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon Every family has to set off two strings of whips to meet the occasion. What if Beng comes over and lights up the wine shop, isn't their busy work all this time in vain?Zhao Chen mentioned this to Wang Yunda. Four more water tanks were added to the four water tanks that were originally placed around the winery to prevent water from leaking. The eight water tanks are checked every day to ensure that they are always full of water.
It didn't matter how long Zhao Chen stayed in the winery. On the nineteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the first pot of wine from the winery finally came out.After distillation, purification.The taste is so many times better than what Zhao Chen distilled with fruit wine.It's just that Zhao Chen tasted it, and the new wine was spicy, and it was still not comparable to the modern small roast, so he hated it anyway.Not to mention that it doesn't taste like the wine brewed by the uncle downstairs in the ktv. Zhao Chen doesn't know exactly what it tastes like.
Wang Yunda stayed in the wine cellar where the first pot of wine was stored and refused to come out, and said that this batch of wine would not be sold!Keep it for yourself to drink.He also sent 880 cash to everyone in the wine shop that day to express his excitement.
Zhao Chen scolded him for being stupid, the first pot of wine must not be the best, and the subsequent wine must be getting better and better.Wang Yunda agreed when he heard it, and immediately put the wine in a carefully fired porcelain bottle, and handed it to the shopkeeper of Wanda, and let the shopkeeper of Wanda take full control of it.
The shopkeeper of Wanda is also unambiguous. Taking advantage of the wine wind that has been blown up earlier, the palm-sized small bottle costs six taels of silver, and the supply is limited every day. After all, there is only one winery, and workers can work in two shifts, but they have to wait. The wine is fermented automatically, so don't be in a hurry, and the amount of wine that comes out is not much.
He gave the drink a name that matched Fulinmen, "Fulai"!
Drink "Fulai" during the Spring Festival, and happiness will come to your home!
As soon as the slogan was shouted, "Fulai" wine was expensive, and shopkeeper Wan made a fortune.
When the first pot of wine came out, Zhao Chen didn't want to stay in the winery anymore. Anyway, the people in the winery were better at brewing wine than him, and after learning his procedure, they made it easier than him.The rest are of little use to him.Wang Yunda didn't leave him alone, he also took off his work jacket that smelled of alcohol, put on his silk and satin again, and in the winter, waving a broken fan to pretend to be romantic, went to his wealthy circle to listen to people. Praise went.
Wang Yunda was like a peacock with its tail open. Whenever someone praised him for his good drinks, he would laugh like a peony, shy and timid. Zhao Chen looked so stupid.For a while, he wanted to tell him that someone in their village was thinking about him, and according to others, he was already married to the third son of Zhao Daliang's family!
Zhao Chen picked up the jar of wine and went to look for Old Man Jiang on South Fifth Road, Langhuan Street. From Wang Yunda, he knew that Old Man Jiang was a master bricklayer with an eccentric temper. The top pick in this bricklayer's business.When I first went to build a few private houses for him, I thought it was a bit overkill.
The old man Jiang opened the wine jar, and the smell of wine was lingering in the room. His small eyes were shining brightly, and his short and fat body jumped onto the kang, like a child who had just got a baby, and his speed was quite fast.He hurriedly took a small cup and poured a glass. After drinking the glass of wine, the old man Jiang hissed in satisfaction: "Good wine!" He turned around and asked Zhao Chen, "It must be something simple for you to take it from me!" The wine, tell me, isn’t this the “Fulai” who boasted to the sky recently?”
Zhao Chen nodded quickly: "I wanted to give you a surprise, but it turned out that there is already this wine on the market, so I discounted the surprise!"
The old man Jiang sipped a glass of wine, his old face was as beautiful as a chrysanthemum blooming in the wind, holding the wine jar in his arms, he couldn't put it down, and said with a smile: "It doesn't count, anyway, I haven't had this wine yet, you are the first one to give it away. I'm here. It's just that the amount is a little less!"
The jars that Zhao Chen brought were said to be jars, but they were all taller than their calves. How much does this old man dislike?Zhao Chen said: "If you want to drink, you can go to Wang Yunda to ask for it. I heard that he still asks for you. I guarantee you can have as much as you want!"
Old man Jiang rolled his eyes. He thought building a manor was not challenging or interesting, so he didn’t agree to Wang Yunda. Although Zhao Chen’s house was small, it was the first time he had seen this fireplace. When he heard the word fireplace, he was still ashamed The silent expression made Zhao Chen think that everyone knew about this fireplace, how could Zhao Chen know that it was the only one in their family?Old man Jiang went for that.Zhao Chen was also stupid. Old man Jiang asked calmly what the fireplace was going to look like, but Zhao Chen didn't even think about showing it to old man Jiang. His grandma had this thing at his grandmother's house, and he vaguely knew the usefulness of the appearance.I have to say that sometimes new creations and inventions just lack a little inspiration. Zhao Chen's gesticulation is half-knowledgeable, and old man Jiang, a master bricklayer, had his eyes lit up, and he probably understood it, so he made this thing.Zhao Chen was so stupid, old man Jiang scraped off all the stuff in his stomach, even when the people around him looked at the fireplace with curiosity and amazement, Zhao Chen was so overwhelmed that he didn't react.
Old man Jiang thought, now for this wine, it is not impossible for Wang Yunda's manor to be built...
Zhao Chen saw that old man Jiang drank a lot, and reminded: "This wine is not like the one you drank before, it is like water. This thing is more powerful than that, so don't get drunk in a while."
The old man Jiang responded, and the speed of drinking in his hand did not slow down at all.His son-in-law was still domineering, grabbed the wine jar, took it and left, no matter how much old man Jiang yelled, he would not give it.
Zhao Chen looked funny, and said that he would invite old man Jiang's bricklayer team to drink tomorrow, and then he went out and went home.
It was only noon when he came out of old man Jiang's house, Zhao Chen hurried home, this time he didn't have to run to the wine shop, he felt that the dirt road back to the village was not so difficult.After washing three buckets of water at home, Zhao Chen still felt the smell of alcohol on his body. He felt like a famous dish, drunken shrimp!The smell of wine has been salted into the body and cannot be washed off.
It was getting dark, and he lay down on the hot kang, and rubbed Zhang Xu's stomach again. The stuff in his stomach has been more tossing lately, and Zhang Xu, who was punched and kicked, couldn't sleep well at night. I don't know if it was Zhao Chen this time. He was also excited when he came back, and he was even more thrilled to practice boxing and having fun in Zhang Xu's stomach.
Zhao Chen hugged Zhang Xu and talked about the recent situation, he talked about the winery, Zhang Xu talked about the village.Zhang Xu basically didn't go out, and he didn't know much, but a word still reached Zhang Xu's ears.Luo Dongzhi was suspended and went home.These words seemed to be passed on by someone with a heart, specifically for Zhang Xu.
Zhao Chen asked, "Luo Dongzhi? Who is he?"
Zhang Xu glanced at him in the faint afterglow of the evening, and said, "If you don't remember, there is nothing to say."
Zhao Chen was so sleepy that he stopped talking and fell asleep.
The next day he was refreshed, and he went to Fulinmen early in the morning to book a table, and then went to pick up the old man at Jiang's house. A group of people cheered and went to Fulinmen to have a big meal. The food in Fulinmen is more expensive than outside. , but it was not as outrageously expensive as a tael of silver and a plate of dishes, not to mention the relationship between Zhao Chen and Fulinmen, the shopkeeper Wanda gave Zhao Chen a discount, and Zhao Chen said that he could still afford the cost of a meal.
A group of people had a great time with the host and guests, and all the people present were full of jokes, but Zhao Chen was a KTV guy, who can say that about Zhao Chen?When the wine was gone, a group of people looked at Zhao Chen with warm eyes. They rose directly from the owner when they built the house to brothers who could sneak around together, and said that they would help if they needed anything in the future, and they would definitely come.
Zhao Chen cheerfully saw off a group of people, satiated and went outside. After eating too much, he felt that the food was stuffing up his throat, and he had to take a walk outside to digest and digest.
But it's okay if you don't digest it, once you digest it, you will meet someone you know.
Zhao Chen looked ahead, who was it not Cao Rui who was curled up in a ball on the ground and was being beaten?
The 13-year-old child looked thinner than before, almost skinny, wearing the same thin clothes, and there was a hole in the shoe, and he could see the cracked blood on the toes and fingers.Anyway, after eating at the same dinner table, Zhao Chen had a good impression of this kid, so he hurried over, pushed the beatings away, and said, "This is still a kid, you just beat him so hard. Hand, do you still have a conscience?"
There were people pointing around, and the beating man said: "The child can steal people's things? He took the things from the master's house, but the master's kindness let him go, and he dared to ask the master's wages, this is not worthy of a beating." What is it?"
Cao Rui repeated weakly: "I didn't take..."
Zhao Chen helped Cao Rui up, and sneered at the man, "Where can the clothes he wear hide things? You say he took your things, what evidence do you have?"
The man said: "He took it! The place where he works is at the door of the house. If something is lost in the house, who took it if he didn't take it?"
Zhao Chen said: "Oh, he is the only one at the door of your house, and there is no one else?"
"There are domestic slaves raised by the mansion all around the house, who is so bold? Isn't it just this kid who sees the money and takes things from the master's house."
"Then tell me, what did you lose?" Zhao Chen asked.
The man proudly said: "I lost a jadeite hairpin. It was specially bought by the host for the Chinese New Year. It is worth more than ten taels of silver!"
The corners of Cao Rui's mouth were broken, blood was oozing down, yelling that he didn't take it, Zhao Chen patted Cao Rui, looked up at the man: "How much is Cao Rui's salary?"
The man seemed to have sensed something was wrong, so he said, "320 Wen."
"Oh, your family lost a hairpin of more than a dozen taels of silver, and confiscated more than 300 Wen from Cao Rui, so it will be considered as repayment?"
The man hesitated and said: "That is the kindness of the master..."
Zhao Chen got impatient and interrupted him immediately: "Okay, you shut up! I feel disgusted when I hear you talking! If you don't want to pay other people's wages, you wronged others for stealing from your house. Isn't it just because you see children as small and easy to bully?" Zhao Chenmeng stood up, grabbed the man by the collar and brought him to the front, "Just say something clearly, if I am the one who came to your house to work today, would you dare to owe me wages!?"
Zhao Chen's eyes were like a mad dog biting someone, the man was so scared that he couldn't speak a word.The voices of pointing from all around became louder, muttering that the host was not benevolent.Zhao Chen kicked the man to the ground and kicked him in the stomach. The man screamed and attracted more people.
The patrolling yamen saw a circle around here, and while pulling the crowd, he walked inside: "Hey, what's going on, what's going on, why are they all blocked here, get out of the way!"
When he saw Zhao Chen, he opened his mouth and called out, "Hey, Zhao Chen, why are you here again? Who made you unhappy again?" It was Liu Sheng who spoke, and Yang Zhenshan was still following behind him. When Zhao Chen and Tongde Medical Center went to court, the two who were in charge of beating Zhao Chen's board, Zhao Chen came to work in the winery, and invited these two people to have a drink from time to time. When they went to the restaurant, they had a good relationship. It's important, it will come in handy right now.
Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door, when Zhao Chen met the official, he still stepped on the chest of the man he just beat, and didn't have any intention of moving.But when the man in the tall mansion saw the official coming, a servant immediately ran into the mansion.
Zhao Chen called Brother Liu, Brother Yang, pointed at Cao Rui, who couldn't get up on the ground, and began to feel wronged: "Brother, take a look, that's from my village, the kid from Shisan's family is poor The jingle sounded, this kid was also upbeat, and came out to find a job by himself, but who knew that when he found the job, he was sold to a family whose conscience was eaten by dogs. It's like this, brother, if I don't come, I think this kid will go to see the King of Hades! Who do you say makes me unhappy, and seeing this, I don't think anyone will be happy!" Zhao Chen used to be a good pretender, singing If you want to fight, how can you say it is pitiful.
Liu Sheng knew that Zhao Chen couldn't believe everything he said, but he also frowned when he looked at Cao Rui. The wound on Cao Rui's body couldn't be faked. His face was blue and purple, his legs were lame, and his hands were still dead. He clutched his stomach tightly, no need to look carefully to know that the injury was serious.
There is also a boy in Yang Zhenshan's family, who is about the same age as Cao Rui, and he became angry when he saw it: "You are such a young boy, you can do something like this! Let's go, let's take someone to the yamen to judge!"
The yamen servant spoke more forcefully than ordinary people. The one under Zhao Chen's feet immediately begged for mercy, and someone rushed out of the high mansion compound, who looked like a housekeeper.
As soon as the housekeeper went out, he cupped his hands to Liu Sheng and Yang Zhenshan: "Wait a minute, two officials, ouch, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, the hairpin was found, it's all due to the carelessness of the servants, and it wasn't put where it was when it was cleaned up, master The family thought that something was lost, and there was only such a worker near the house, so they misunderstood. It was all my fault, and I will accompany the others."
Those present are not fools, no one knows what is tricky here, but there are many big families in Zheyang City, it is not good to offend people because of this kind of trouble, Liu Sheng wanted to calm down the matter, let the master pay some money, and said: " In the future, remember to check clearly, who is it to blame for this trouble during the New Year's Eve?"
The butler flattered him: "Yes, yes, it's all my fault, and I will definitely find out in the future. I invite you two to drink tea with this little money." The butler took out two taels of silver and put it in Liu Sheng's hand, and Liu Sheng took it in a very unceremonious manner. .The butler walked up to Zhao Chen again, took out a bunch of copper plates and a couple of pieces of silver, and said, "It's all my fault, brother, please hold your feet high and let my guard go. This is Cao Rui's wages." , I just found out that this was a misunderstanding, so I asked someone to prepare the money quickly, and the one tael of silver will be used as medical expenses and compensation, brother, please forgive me." A string of copper plates was handed over respectfully.The words are better than the songs, and their eyes are full of contempt for the country people. In their eyes, as long as the country people have money, there is nothing wrong with it.He still has to go back to arrange things in the mansion, and he just hopes that these people will take the money and leave quickly.
Zhao Chen sneered, and gave him a sneering look, what the hell, the medical expenses are more than the wages.
Zhao Chen didn't answer, looked straight at the housekeeper, and said, "When I came, that bastard was about to die. This means that he is not dead. You will pay for the medicine. What if he is dead? How much do you say?" Can it be worth a life?" The housekeeper felt a little guilty.Zhao Chen said that Cao Rui was sad, with tears in his eyes.Zhao Chen pointed at Cao Rui and said, "You shouldn't beg me to forgive you. It was Cao Rui who you ordered to be beaten. Ask him if he would like to use this tael of silver to buy the humiliation and injury he suffered today."
After Zhao Chen finished speaking, he withdrew his foot. He walked towards the house, kicked down a small tree with the thickness of an arm at the gate, repaired the branches, and the small tree became a stick with the length of an arm.Zhao Chen returned to Cao Rui, handed the stick in Cao Rui's hand, and said domineeringly: "Boy Rui, it's a man who suffers the grievances so he asks for it himself. Today you choose by yourself. It's the one or two taels of silver that we collected. Go buy medicine, or use this stick to beat that fat housekeeper like you, and then throw that tael of silver on his forehead!"
After Cao Rui listened in a daze, he suddenly wiped his eyes with his arm, grabbed the stick and limped towards the butler, his viciousness was like that of a calf suffering from mad cow disease, and the butler was stunned. Bangzi, Liu Sheng looked at the scene and wanted to take care of it, but was stopped by Yang Zhenshan. The two stood motionless, only yelling: "Hey, don't fight!" They did enough to save face.The onlookers booed along, looking at it as if they were watching the bustle. The inner circle saw the butler approaching, and pushed the butler back secretly.
Cao Rui hit the butler's leg with a stick, and the butler fell to the ground, and finally couldn't run anymore, and took several more hard blows.Zhao Chen saw that it was almost done, so he walked slowly to Cao Rui and asked Cao Rui to stop.
Cao Rui was wheezing and panting, gasping for breath, but his eyes were bright, with a kind of elated satisfaction.
The butler was lying on the ground, he could only yell, and he was still holding a tael of silver and a string of copper coins for Cao Rui. Cao Rui snatched the silver and copper coins from him, and put the copper coins in his arms. Just as Zhao Chen said, he hit the butler on the forehead: "Here is for you! Your medical expenses!"
After finishing speaking, he turned around and limped away, but Zhao Chen saw that the moment the child turned around, tears were streaming down his face.
Yang Zhenshan gave Zhao Chen a thumbs-up, and then yelled at the crowd together with Liu Sheng: "Let's go, let's go, there's nothing to see! Hey, hurry up and take your housekeeper back, oh, those one or two people on the ground The money is your housekeeper's medical expenses, hurry up and pick it up!...What? You want to report to the official? Why bother the magistrate with such a trivial matter, hurry up and leave!"
Zhao Chen gestured to Yang Zhenshan to drink, and saw Yang Zhenshan blink his eyes to make a signal, Zhao Chen turned around and went after Cao Rui.
Cao Rui didn't go very far, just hit someone out of a desire for revenge, now Cao Rui softened as soon as the excitement subsided, and he was about to fall to the ground after two steps, Zhao Chen carried him on his back , Thirteen's kid, it doesn't seem like Zhao Xuan is honest on his back.
He took the man to the pharmacy to buy medicines, rubbed them on his body, took them internally, and stopped the bleeding.Cao Rui's clothes were lifted up and even the doctor who saw the doctor couldn't bear it anymore. While prescribing medicine, he scolded whoever killed a thousand knives even beat a child.Cao Rui's whole body is blue and purple, really not much better than when Zhao Chen was abused by his alcoholic father when he was a child.
After buying the medicine, Zhao Chen carried Cao Rui back to the village. Cao Rui obediently lay on his back without saying a word. When he reached the entrance of the village, Zhao Chen asked, "Where is your home? I'll take you back."
Cao Rui behind him froze, and said in a muffled voice: "I have no home..." Zhao Chen didn't understand, Cao Rui continued, "Brother Chen, my father is dead... "
Cao Rui had just helped Zhao Chen build a house and earned some copper coins. He happily returned home with two catties of pork, but just as he entered the door, he saw his father lying motionless on the bed. He was dead and his body was cold.He was still talking to Cao Rui yesterday, and asked Cao Rui to work hard so that he could get a daughter-in-law and have a baby, but he died the next day.
All the copper coins that Cao Ruicai earned became his father's coffin book, and the two catties of pork were cooked and eaten by the people who came to do the funeral. Cao Rui's money was gone, his father was gone, and his family was gone.
In order to eat, he looked for a part-time job in the county town. He asked for little money and just wanted to have a full meal every day. He finally found one. He ate leftovers that had been frozen into ice cubes, and he almost didn't get the money.If he hadn't met Zhao Chen today, maybe his final ending would be to huddle in a corner and wait to die.
Zhao Chen felt that the clothes on his back were wet. He guessed that the kid was crying again. He sighed and had no idea, so he could only carry him to his home.
"Don't say anything depressing, look at my brother Xu, he also came from hard times, he is still alive, he can always have enough to eat, and he won't be beaten!"
Zhao Chen's teeth were in pain, and his hands were itchy and wanted to hit someone.
Shopkeeper Wan is very sensible. When the boy came here, he brought a lot of cloth. Some made clothes for adults. Of course, more are for children. They are soft and breathable, and they will never hurt children’s skin. Look beaming.I also brought two bolts of pure white soft cotton cloth, which are very different when mixed with colorful cloth.
Zhao Chen looked curious, and the boy explained in a low voice: "This is for making diapers for children!"
The things were piled up at their house, not to mention, it was really shorthanded by others, Zhao Chen had nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only go back to the winery in the car honestly.
As soon as he left, someone came to the house on the back foot. It was his relative who was out of reach, Xia Chun.
Xia Chun has passed the period of being sad for Zhao Qingji, and now he is starting to get married for his third son, Zhang Luo. Some time ago, when Zhao Chen came back, he looked like a beggar full of alcohol, and he worried for a while, thinking that Zhao Chen really looked like what Zhao Daliang said , Started not to learn again.
But today, when the carriage outside the door appeared, the previous deduction was overthrown in an instant. The carriage was obviously the carriage of the Wang family. He had come back once before, so he really believed it!
Didn't you see that Zhao Chen was picked up by someone in a carriage? He didn't learn well in the city again, and he was doing big things with Fulinmen's young master!
So when Zhao Chen had just left, Xia Chun couldn't wait any longer, and hurried to Zhao Chen's house to inquire about the situation.
Zhang Xu is sitting on the kang and threading needles. His appetite has improved a while ago, and he can eat a lot. His face has become plump. His originally stern face has become rich. No, I always have to touch it when I get home.Only Zhang Xu's expression was light, and a pair of phoenix eyes looked at him calmly, so that he only dared to touch Zhang Xu unscrupulously when he fell asleep in the middle of the night.
When Xia Chun came, he saw Zhang Xu lying on the kang with a calm face and contentedly. The appearance of a happy life made him panic. The shopkeeper of Wanda sent some fabrics, which made the family's clothes directly up to several grades. , Zhang Xu was wearing a green one with a pure white inner jacket, which he made himself later on. After all, he had a big belly, and Zhao Chen couldn't wear the one he bought at the clothing store.
The light color makes Zhang Xu's face more watery, with long black hair and clear phoenix eyes, looking at it, it really looks like a wealthy husband of a rich family looking at an ugly servant in the country.Xia Chun didn't know where to put his hands and feet.Zhao Qingji took all the money in the family, and the family's food and clothing expenses became tense. The family was in a bad mood, and their faces were naturally gray, and they couldn't compare to Zhang Xu.
Seeing that Xia Chun didn't speak, Zhang Xu could only speak first: "Excuse me?"
Xia Chun said in a daze, "Am I your uncle?" Xia Chun's words woke him up, didn't he, he is still Zhao Chen's uncle, there is such a relationship, he Zhao Chen is rich, isn't he Does he also have a long face? At this moment, he even forgot that they had separated.
Hasn't Zhang Xu seen this uncle? After all, when Zhao Chen had no money, his uncle had no time to hide from him.Zhang Xu hesitated for a while before asking, "What's the matter here, uncle?"
Xia Chun sat next to Zhang Xu familiarly: "It's all right, I just came to see you, this pregnant little brother is very important, and there is no shortage of people around him."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ama Zhang Xu said as he entered the door: "Brother Xu, come and eat some more, I boiled this porridge to a pulp, and put brown sugar and longan in it, it's good to eat, Come and taste it." The slap in the face on the spot made Xia Chun's smile stiffen.
As soon as Zhang Xu looked up, he saw the person sitting next to Zhang Xu, and was startled. He didn't even know when this person came in!If the person who came was not a little brother, but a man, and his brother Xu is still pregnant with a baby, what's the matter?
Ama Zhang Xu's face changed, and she almost opened her mouth to scream.It was Zhang Xu who recovered first and introduced: "Ah, is this Zhao Chen's uncle? Zhao Chen is out, and he came to see me."
Grandma Zhang Xu lowered his head. He didn't dare to meet strangers yet, so he said oh-oh twice, handed the porridge to Zhang Xu, and sat next to Zhang Xu, watching Xia Chun warily.He is not familiar with the name Xia Chun, but even if he doesn't go out, he also knows that Zhao Chen's family and his uncle's family are separated, and the relationship is not very good. What does it mean to see someone now?
Zhang Xu looked amused at his aunt's appearance, and said, "Ah, it's a holiday today, and the guests are here. Is there any porridge at home? Give Uncle Mo a bowl too."
Aunt Zhang Xu glanced at Zhang Xu, and Zhang Xu winked, indicating that he should save some face, after all, they were Zhao Chen's relatives, and Zhao Chen could tear his face apart, but they couldn't do too much.
Aunt Zhang Xu went to serve the porridge. Xia Chun couldn't help swallowing when he saw the bowl Zhang Xu was carrying: "The Laba porridge in your house is really unique, not to mention thicker than other's, and there are many kinds of it. It smells delicious."
Grandma Zhang Xu came in with the porridge and handed it to him: "I think it's good, you have two bites, too, all cooked at home."
Xia Chun hurriedly served the porridge. Their family didn't have a single coin. Where could they buy all kinds of beans?Zhao Chen's porridge put brown sugar and red dates in his mouth, and the lingering fragrance of the porridge was sweet, and Xia Chun forgot to ask questions.
Xia Chun was a little embarrassed, and didn't dare to ask for another bowl, and Zhang Xu was not willing to serve it for him.Xia Chun looked at the clothes material spread on Zhang Xu's legs and said, "This is for making clothes for the baby in my belly. This material is really good. Your Zhao Chen is really developed."
Zhang Xu didn't say a word, drinking the porridge slowly.
Xia Chun sneered, and continued: "I saw a carriage coming to your door again today, it must be the carriage of the owner of Fulinmen!"
Zhang Xu said, "Yes."
"Looking at that car, you will be rich. Last time I saw Wang Shaodong's family, they were handsome and decent, but I don't know if this family is married now?"
Zhang Xu finally looked at him, and said, "This is someone else's business, I don't know about it."
Xia Chun didn't come up with any accurate words, he was a little anxious, and said: "Young Master should attach great importance to Boy Chen, right? Boy Chen doesn't know about this?"
Zhang Xu said indifferently: "There is no reason to talk to Fu Lang about the affairs of the men in the family. Besides, it is someone else's family affairs. Of course, I am the head of the family.
Xia Chun didn't dare to ask anymore, and felt that he couldn't speak, and was a little frustrated. Later, he thought that the young master got married anyway, and the third son of his family was the same as his side husband. There was nothing wrong, and the frustration disappeared. I also want to inquire about other information, such as what is this Zhao Chen doing with the young master?After all, we are relatives, at least we should be promoted.Zhang Xu didn't give him another chance, and said, "There is still some Laba porridge at home. Uncle, if you don't mind it, take it back and give it to uncle and others to try. I'm a little tired, so I won't keep uncle."
One sentence sent people away.
Xia Chun wanted to stay, but he had no excuses, so he could only go out holding the crock pot of porridge that Ama Zhang Xu pushed him.As soon as he went out, the door of Zhao's house was closed tightly with a slam.It was Zhao Chen who had just left and closed the door before letting Xia Chun in.
Aunt Zhang Xu rushed to Zhang Xu when he went back to the house, and said, "This man is really big-hearted, why did he even inquire about the young master's family? Is the young master's family something they can miss?"
Zhang Xu said: "If he wants to think about it, he can think about it. After all, if it's not their family, it's not their family's. What's the use of thinking about it."
Grandma Zhang Xu sighed: "That's right. I don't want him anymore. Let's stay away from his house in the future, as long as our family can take care of itself." After these few months, life has been comfortable, and Grandma Zhang Xu's health is gradually getting worse. I got better, and sure enough, my heart disease needs heart medicine. There are not so many troubles, and natural people are also energetic.He still doesn't go for a stroll in the village, but if he has nothing to say to Zhang Xu, he will be happy.
Xia Chun returned home with the porridge pot in his arms, and just caught up with a few husbands who came to visit frequently. They sat down and chatted. Seeing Xia Chun coming back, they started talking about the village. Strange, of course it was Zhao Chen who talked the most.
"What is this? It smells good, is it porridge?" Someone asked a lot when they saw the crock pot.
Xia Chun rolled his eyes, and said: "Isn't that right? These are boiled beans from the young owner of Fulinmen, and there are some longan in it. Oh, we small family, how do we know what it is? It's just boiled." The porridge is delicious!"
Some people started to be envious: "Then give us a taste too. Our family celebrates Laba. It would be great if we can cook corn and mung beans, but we can't make this taste!"
Xia Chun hugged the porridge jar into his arms, and said meanly: "You greedy ones, you just know how to eat it. This porridge is not for you, it is specially for my family's Ruyi!"
Ruyi, the younger brother of Xia Chun's family, is not yet married. After hearing Xia Chun's specious words, everyone began to ask tentatively: "You Ruyi and that young master...??"
Without saying a word, he asked with his eyes.Xia Chun held his neck high in complacency, and the corners of his mouth were raised. If he didn't give an accurate statement, his appearance was obviously an admission.
The younger brother of Zhao Daliang's family has climbed up the tall branches!
This is a big deal!
Everyone was dumbfounded, looked at each other, and finally said goodbye to Xia Chun, and went to gossip with others.There is no entertainment in the countryside, and Zhao Chen’s nonsense has been circulating for ten and a half months without a new chapter, and now there is finally a topic, a group of old women can make a story into a flower in one night, and the content spreads more and more. Huahua, the first day she said that the young master of Fulinmen and Zhao Daliang's youngest son were having trouble, and the next day she said that Zhao Ruyi was already engaged to the young master!
Someone asked Xia Chun to find out the truth, Xia Chun laughed, and his proud neck stretched out: "One day, I must invite you to a wedding!"
What he said was vague, and others only took him to admit it!Words spread even more flowery.It was even rumored that the little brother of the Zhao family was already a member of the young master's family!
The men in the village are not as gossipy as their husbands, but when they meet Zhao Daliang, they must say a word of congratulations to Zhao Daliang, which makes Zhao Daliang confused.
When Zhao Chen came back, Zhang Xu told him about it.Zhao Chen laughed instead: "It doesn't matter, let them say it, Wang Yunda has tormented me so much these days, he came to our Xiliu Village for a stroll on his own, and he deserved some scandals about him!"
Zhao Chen said that he didn't care, but on the second day after returning home, he brought back wolfdog pups from other villages, three of them in one hug, and someone asked him why he carried so many.Zhao Chen said bluntly: "There are only two little brothers in the house. It's not safe after all. I'm not at home occasionally. With these bastards, I can always prevent random people from entering my house!"
Zhao Chen was concerned about safety. Fortunately, he was not at home these days, and the second-timers in the village did not come to make trouble.If not, Zhao Chen would feel scared after thinking about what happened.In the past, he would eat enough for one person and the whole family would not be hungry. If there were thieves in the house, it didn't matter, and there was nothing good in his house.It's different now, he also has a family.Zhao Chen learned his lesson and made a special trip to old man Li's house before going to the winery again.When the house was built, he lived in Old Man Li's house for nearly two months, and the relationship between Zhao Chen and Old Man Li's family has improved.
Zhao Chen has to go to the wine shop to watch for a few days. The wine making equipment has been prepared, and now he is waiting for the first pot of wine. It is a tense moment. Zhao Chen can't leave, so he can only let old man Li go to their house to sit. Sit down, it's a place for the town, old man Li is a doctor, and no one in the village dares to offend the doctor, because he is afraid that if there is a headache in the future, what will old man Li do if he lets go.
It was old man Li and his son who came to open the door. His name was Li Bin. He brought his family back at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month. He was ten years older than Zhao Chen.Zhao Chen reported his name, but Li Bin didn't dare to let him in. Old man Li came out to welcome him in.
Li Bin's husband was quick-witted but taciturn when he saw strangers. He poured tea for Zhao Chen and stopped talking.
Zhao Chen explained the purpose of his visit, and Old Man Li did not refuse, and finally said: "Don't tell me, when you lived in my house, brother Xu cooked for me every day, and the taste was good. I'm addicted to it, wait for you to leave I'm still not used to it!"
Zhao Chen laughed loudly: "If you like to eat, go tell Brother Xu yourself, let Brother Xu cook and add yours, and take care of three meals a day."
Old man Li rolled his eyes at him: "What nonsense are you talking about? Brother Xu has been pregnant for almost eight months, how dare you let him move around?"
Zhao Chen was baffled, even though Zhang Xu was pregnant, he just acted like a man with a ball, it was nothing.But after hearing old man Li say this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.He said: "What's the matter?..."
Old man Li snorted: "I am most afraid of the first three months of pregnancy, and the last three months. In the first three months, I am afraid that the fetus will not be able to sit still. In the last three months, I am afraid that the baby will come out early. If you are not careful, adults and children will have to worry about it." No life, thanks to the fact that you are still the child's father, you don't know anything!"
Zhao Chen suddenly felt that the vitality in Zhang Xu's stomach was really tenacious. For the first three months, he drank wild vegetable soup with Zhang Xu every day. Zhang Xu was busy and didn't say that he wanted any special care. Zhang Xu didn't ask for much, and Zhao Chen didn't pay much attention because he was a big-hearted person. He even often forgot that Zhang Xu had a child in his stomach, and Zhang Xu was a babysitter. !
Zhao Chen took a sip of tea to hide his embarrassment: "Thanks to Dr. Li reminding me, then you can help me to see more in the future, I am a father this time, so I have no experience at all."
Old man Li said with a smile: "Brother Xu is obedient, and I probably didn't tell you if there was any discomfort."
"What else could be uncomfortable?" Zhao Chen asked.
"Sore back, numbness, frequent urination, frequent cramps, too many things. You don't pay attention when you are not pregnant, and brother Xu doesn't tell you. It's okay, pay more attention in the future. Now that you are not at home, I guess it is Zhang Xu Ah so much more effort."
Zhao Chen lowered his head, it was not easy getting to know Zhang Xu again, and he began to think about what to do to make up for Zhang Xu.He had to rush to the wine shop, got up before he sat down, and said to Li Bin and his husband before leaving: "My husband doesn't often walk around in the village, and there is no one to talk to on weekdays. Sister-in-law, if you are free , just go to my house and sit down."
Mrs. Li Bin looked at Li Bin. Li Bin didn't say anything, but old man Li readily agreed: "Okay, I'll take my son Mrs. Lang to your house to recognize you!"
Zhao Chen rarely showed a simple and honest smile.
When he returned to the winery, he paid attention to the safety of the winery. In the past, the wine was as light as water, and there were no safety hazards. Now the wine can catch fire without a spark. After all, it is still easy to catch fire, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon Every family has to set off two strings of whips to meet the occasion. What if Beng comes over and lights up the wine shop, isn't their busy work all this time in vain?Zhao Chen mentioned this to Wang Yunda. Four more water tanks were added to the four water tanks that were originally placed around the winery to prevent water from leaking. The eight water tanks are checked every day to ensure that they are always full of water.
It didn't matter how long Zhao Chen stayed in the winery. On the nineteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the first pot of wine from the winery finally came out.After distillation, purification.The taste is so many times better than what Zhao Chen distilled with fruit wine.It's just that Zhao Chen tasted it, and the new wine was spicy, and it was still not comparable to the modern small roast, so he hated it anyway.Not to mention that it doesn't taste like the wine brewed by the uncle downstairs in the ktv. Zhao Chen doesn't know exactly what it tastes like.
Wang Yunda stayed in the wine cellar where the first pot of wine was stored and refused to come out, and said that this batch of wine would not be sold!Keep it for yourself to drink.He also sent 880 cash to everyone in the wine shop that day to express his excitement.
Zhao Chen scolded him for being stupid, the first pot of wine must not be the best, and the subsequent wine must be getting better and better.Wang Yunda agreed when he heard it, and immediately put the wine in a carefully fired porcelain bottle, and handed it to the shopkeeper of Wanda, and let the shopkeeper of Wanda take full control of it.
The shopkeeper of Wanda is also unambiguous. Taking advantage of the wine wind that has been blown up earlier, the palm-sized small bottle costs six taels of silver, and the supply is limited every day. After all, there is only one winery, and workers can work in two shifts, but they have to wait. The wine is fermented automatically, so don't be in a hurry, and the amount of wine that comes out is not much.
He gave the drink a name that matched Fulinmen, "Fulai"!
Drink "Fulai" during the Spring Festival, and happiness will come to your home!
As soon as the slogan was shouted, "Fulai" wine was expensive, and shopkeeper Wan made a fortune.
When the first pot of wine came out, Zhao Chen didn't want to stay in the winery anymore. Anyway, the people in the winery were better at brewing wine than him, and after learning his procedure, they made it easier than him.The rest are of little use to him.Wang Yunda didn't leave him alone, he also took off his work jacket that smelled of alcohol, put on his silk and satin again, and in the winter, waving a broken fan to pretend to be romantic, went to his wealthy circle to listen to people. Praise went.
Wang Yunda was like a peacock with its tail open. Whenever someone praised him for his good drinks, he would laugh like a peony, shy and timid. Zhao Chen looked so stupid.For a while, he wanted to tell him that someone in their village was thinking about him, and according to others, he was already married to the third son of Zhao Daliang's family!
Zhao Chen picked up the jar of wine and went to look for Old Man Jiang on South Fifth Road, Langhuan Street. From Wang Yunda, he knew that Old Man Jiang was a master bricklayer with an eccentric temper. The top pick in this bricklayer's business.When I first went to build a few private houses for him, I thought it was a bit overkill.
The old man Jiang opened the wine jar, and the smell of wine was lingering in the room. His small eyes were shining brightly, and his short and fat body jumped onto the kang, like a child who had just got a baby, and his speed was quite fast.He hurriedly took a small cup and poured a glass. After drinking the glass of wine, the old man Jiang hissed in satisfaction: "Good wine!" He turned around and asked Zhao Chen, "It must be something simple for you to take it from me!" The wine, tell me, isn’t this the “Fulai” who boasted to the sky recently?”
Zhao Chen nodded quickly: "I wanted to give you a surprise, but it turned out that there is already this wine on the market, so I discounted the surprise!"
The old man Jiang sipped a glass of wine, his old face was as beautiful as a chrysanthemum blooming in the wind, holding the wine jar in his arms, he couldn't put it down, and said with a smile: "It doesn't count, anyway, I haven't had this wine yet, you are the first one to give it away. I'm here. It's just that the amount is a little less!"
The jars that Zhao Chen brought were said to be jars, but they were all taller than their calves. How much does this old man dislike?Zhao Chen said: "If you want to drink, you can go to Wang Yunda to ask for it. I heard that he still asks for you. I guarantee you can have as much as you want!"
Old man Jiang rolled his eyes. He thought building a manor was not challenging or interesting, so he didn’t agree to Wang Yunda. Although Zhao Chen’s house was small, it was the first time he had seen this fireplace. When he heard the word fireplace, he was still ashamed The silent expression made Zhao Chen think that everyone knew about this fireplace, how could Zhao Chen know that it was the only one in their family?Old man Jiang went for that.Zhao Chen was also stupid. Old man Jiang asked calmly what the fireplace was going to look like, but Zhao Chen didn't even think about showing it to old man Jiang. His grandma had this thing at his grandmother's house, and he vaguely knew the usefulness of the appearance.I have to say that sometimes new creations and inventions just lack a little inspiration. Zhao Chen's gesticulation is half-knowledgeable, and old man Jiang, a master bricklayer, had his eyes lit up, and he probably understood it, so he made this thing.Zhao Chen was so stupid, old man Jiang scraped off all the stuff in his stomach, even when the people around him looked at the fireplace with curiosity and amazement, Zhao Chen was so overwhelmed that he didn't react.
Old man Jiang thought, now for this wine, it is not impossible for Wang Yunda's manor to be built...
Zhao Chen saw that old man Jiang drank a lot, and reminded: "This wine is not like the one you drank before, it is like water. This thing is more powerful than that, so don't get drunk in a while."
The old man Jiang responded, and the speed of drinking in his hand did not slow down at all.His son-in-law was still domineering, grabbed the wine jar, took it and left, no matter how much old man Jiang yelled, he would not give it.
Zhao Chen looked funny, and said that he would invite old man Jiang's bricklayer team to drink tomorrow, and then he went out and went home.
It was only noon when he came out of old man Jiang's house, Zhao Chen hurried home, this time he didn't have to run to the wine shop, he felt that the dirt road back to the village was not so difficult.After washing three buckets of water at home, Zhao Chen still felt the smell of alcohol on his body. He felt like a famous dish, drunken shrimp!The smell of wine has been salted into the body and cannot be washed off.
It was getting dark, and he lay down on the hot kang, and rubbed Zhang Xu's stomach again. The stuff in his stomach has been more tossing lately, and Zhang Xu, who was punched and kicked, couldn't sleep well at night. I don't know if it was Zhao Chen this time. He was also excited when he came back, and he was even more thrilled to practice boxing and having fun in Zhang Xu's stomach.
Zhao Chen hugged Zhang Xu and talked about the recent situation, he talked about the winery, Zhang Xu talked about the village.Zhang Xu basically didn't go out, and he didn't know much, but a word still reached Zhang Xu's ears.Luo Dongzhi was suspended and went home.These words seemed to be passed on by someone with a heart, specifically for Zhang Xu.
Zhao Chen asked, "Luo Dongzhi? Who is he?"
Zhang Xu glanced at him in the faint afterglow of the evening, and said, "If you don't remember, there is nothing to say."
Zhao Chen was so sleepy that he stopped talking and fell asleep.
The next day he was refreshed, and he went to Fulinmen early in the morning to book a table, and then went to pick up the old man at Jiang's house. A group of people cheered and went to Fulinmen to have a big meal. The food in Fulinmen is more expensive than outside. , but it was not as outrageously expensive as a tael of silver and a plate of dishes, not to mention the relationship between Zhao Chen and Fulinmen, the shopkeeper Wanda gave Zhao Chen a discount, and Zhao Chen said that he could still afford the cost of a meal.
A group of people had a great time with the host and guests, and all the people present were full of jokes, but Zhao Chen was a KTV guy, who can say that about Zhao Chen?When the wine was gone, a group of people looked at Zhao Chen with warm eyes. They rose directly from the owner when they built the house to brothers who could sneak around together, and said that they would help if they needed anything in the future, and they would definitely come.
Zhao Chen cheerfully saw off a group of people, satiated and went outside. After eating too much, he felt that the food was stuffing up his throat, and he had to take a walk outside to digest and digest.
But it's okay if you don't digest it, once you digest it, you will meet someone you know.
Zhao Chen looked ahead, who was it not Cao Rui who was curled up in a ball on the ground and was being beaten?
The 13-year-old child looked thinner than before, almost skinny, wearing the same thin clothes, and there was a hole in the shoe, and he could see the cracked blood on the toes and fingers.Anyway, after eating at the same dinner table, Zhao Chen had a good impression of this kid, so he hurried over, pushed the beatings away, and said, "This is still a kid, you just beat him so hard. Hand, do you still have a conscience?"
There were people pointing around, and the beating man said: "The child can steal people's things? He took the things from the master's house, but the master's kindness let him go, and he dared to ask the master's wages, this is not worthy of a beating." What is it?"
Cao Rui repeated weakly: "I didn't take..."
Zhao Chen helped Cao Rui up, and sneered at the man, "Where can the clothes he wear hide things? You say he took your things, what evidence do you have?"
The man said: "He took it! The place where he works is at the door of the house. If something is lost in the house, who took it if he didn't take it?"
Zhao Chen said: "Oh, he is the only one at the door of your house, and there is no one else?"
"There are domestic slaves raised by the mansion all around the house, who is so bold? Isn't it just this kid who sees the money and takes things from the master's house."
"Then tell me, what did you lose?" Zhao Chen asked.
The man proudly said: "I lost a jadeite hairpin. It was specially bought by the host for the Chinese New Year. It is worth more than ten taels of silver!"
The corners of Cao Rui's mouth were broken, blood was oozing down, yelling that he didn't take it, Zhao Chen patted Cao Rui, looked up at the man: "How much is Cao Rui's salary?"
The man seemed to have sensed something was wrong, so he said, "320 Wen."
"Oh, your family lost a hairpin of more than a dozen taels of silver, and confiscated more than 300 Wen from Cao Rui, so it will be considered as repayment?"
The man hesitated and said: "That is the kindness of the master..."
Zhao Chen got impatient and interrupted him immediately: "Okay, you shut up! I feel disgusted when I hear you talking! If you don't want to pay other people's wages, you wronged others for stealing from your house. Isn't it just because you see children as small and easy to bully?" Zhao Chenmeng stood up, grabbed the man by the collar and brought him to the front, "Just say something clearly, if I am the one who came to your house to work today, would you dare to owe me wages!?"
Zhao Chen's eyes were like a mad dog biting someone, the man was so scared that he couldn't speak a word.The voices of pointing from all around became louder, muttering that the host was not benevolent.Zhao Chen kicked the man to the ground and kicked him in the stomach. The man screamed and attracted more people.
The patrolling yamen saw a circle around here, and while pulling the crowd, he walked inside: "Hey, what's going on, what's going on, why are they all blocked here, get out of the way!"
When he saw Zhao Chen, he opened his mouth and called out, "Hey, Zhao Chen, why are you here again? Who made you unhappy again?" It was Liu Sheng who spoke, and Yang Zhenshan was still following behind him. When Zhao Chen and Tongde Medical Center went to court, the two who were in charge of beating Zhao Chen's board, Zhao Chen came to work in the winery, and invited these two people to have a drink from time to time. When they went to the restaurant, they had a good relationship. It's important, it will come in handy right now.
Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door, when Zhao Chen met the official, he still stepped on the chest of the man he just beat, and didn't have any intention of moving.But when the man in the tall mansion saw the official coming, a servant immediately ran into the mansion.
Zhao Chen called Brother Liu, Brother Yang, pointed at Cao Rui, who couldn't get up on the ground, and began to feel wronged: "Brother, take a look, that's from my village, the kid from Shisan's family is poor The jingle sounded, this kid was also upbeat, and came out to find a job by himself, but who knew that when he found the job, he was sold to a family whose conscience was eaten by dogs. It's like this, brother, if I don't come, I think this kid will go to see the King of Hades! Who do you say makes me unhappy, and seeing this, I don't think anyone will be happy!" Zhao Chen used to be a good pretender, singing If you want to fight, how can you say it is pitiful.
Liu Sheng knew that Zhao Chen couldn't believe everything he said, but he also frowned when he looked at Cao Rui. The wound on Cao Rui's body couldn't be faked. His face was blue and purple, his legs were lame, and his hands were still dead. He clutched his stomach tightly, no need to look carefully to know that the injury was serious.
There is also a boy in Yang Zhenshan's family, who is about the same age as Cao Rui, and he became angry when he saw it: "You are such a young boy, you can do something like this! Let's go, let's take someone to the yamen to judge!"
The yamen servant spoke more forcefully than ordinary people. The one under Zhao Chen's feet immediately begged for mercy, and someone rushed out of the high mansion compound, who looked like a housekeeper.
As soon as the housekeeper went out, he cupped his hands to Liu Sheng and Yang Zhenshan: "Wait a minute, two officials, ouch, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, the hairpin was found, it's all due to the carelessness of the servants, and it wasn't put where it was when it was cleaned up, master The family thought that something was lost, and there was only such a worker near the house, so they misunderstood. It was all my fault, and I will accompany the others."
Those present are not fools, no one knows what is tricky here, but there are many big families in Zheyang City, it is not good to offend people because of this kind of trouble, Liu Sheng wanted to calm down the matter, let the master pay some money, and said: " In the future, remember to check clearly, who is it to blame for this trouble during the New Year's Eve?"
The butler flattered him: "Yes, yes, it's all my fault, and I will definitely find out in the future. I invite you two to drink tea with this little money." The butler took out two taels of silver and put it in Liu Sheng's hand, and Liu Sheng took it in a very unceremonious manner. .The butler walked up to Zhao Chen again, took out a bunch of copper plates and a couple of pieces of silver, and said, "It's all my fault, brother, please hold your feet high and let my guard go. This is Cao Rui's wages." , I just found out that this was a misunderstanding, so I asked someone to prepare the money quickly, and the one tael of silver will be used as medical expenses and compensation, brother, please forgive me." A string of copper plates was handed over respectfully.The words are better than the songs, and their eyes are full of contempt for the country people. In their eyes, as long as the country people have money, there is nothing wrong with it.He still has to go back to arrange things in the mansion, and he just hopes that these people will take the money and leave quickly.
Zhao Chen sneered, and gave him a sneering look, what the hell, the medical expenses are more than the wages.
Zhao Chen didn't answer, looked straight at the housekeeper, and said, "When I came, that bastard was about to die. This means that he is not dead. You will pay for the medicine. What if he is dead? How much do you say?" Can it be worth a life?" The housekeeper felt a little guilty.Zhao Chen said that Cao Rui was sad, with tears in his eyes.Zhao Chen pointed at Cao Rui and said, "You shouldn't beg me to forgive you. It was Cao Rui who you ordered to be beaten. Ask him if he would like to use this tael of silver to buy the humiliation and injury he suffered today."
After Zhao Chen finished speaking, he withdrew his foot. He walked towards the house, kicked down a small tree with the thickness of an arm at the gate, repaired the branches, and the small tree became a stick with the length of an arm.Zhao Chen returned to Cao Rui, handed the stick in Cao Rui's hand, and said domineeringly: "Boy Rui, it's a man who suffers the grievances so he asks for it himself. Today you choose by yourself. It's the one or two taels of silver that we collected. Go buy medicine, or use this stick to beat that fat housekeeper like you, and then throw that tael of silver on his forehead!"
After Cao Rui listened in a daze, he suddenly wiped his eyes with his arm, grabbed the stick and limped towards the butler, his viciousness was like that of a calf suffering from mad cow disease, and the butler was stunned. Bangzi, Liu Sheng looked at the scene and wanted to take care of it, but was stopped by Yang Zhenshan. The two stood motionless, only yelling: "Hey, don't fight!" They did enough to save face.The onlookers booed along, looking at it as if they were watching the bustle. The inner circle saw the butler approaching, and pushed the butler back secretly.
Cao Rui hit the butler's leg with a stick, and the butler fell to the ground, and finally couldn't run anymore, and took several more hard blows.Zhao Chen saw that it was almost done, so he walked slowly to Cao Rui and asked Cao Rui to stop.
Cao Rui was wheezing and panting, gasping for breath, but his eyes were bright, with a kind of elated satisfaction.
The butler was lying on the ground, he could only yell, and he was still holding a tael of silver and a string of copper coins for Cao Rui. Cao Rui snatched the silver and copper coins from him, and put the copper coins in his arms. Just as Zhao Chen said, he hit the butler on the forehead: "Here is for you! Your medical expenses!"
After finishing speaking, he turned around and limped away, but Zhao Chen saw that the moment the child turned around, tears were streaming down his face.
Yang Zhenshan gave Zhao Chen a thumbs-up, and then yelled at the crowd together with Liu Sheng: "Let's go, let's go, there's nothing to see! Hey, hurry up and take your housekeeper back, oh, those one or two people on the ground The money is your housekeeper's medical expenses, hurry up and pick it up!...What? You want to report to the official? Why bother the magistrate with such a trivial matter, hurry up and leave!"
Zhao Chen gestured to Yang Zhenshan to drink, and saw Yang Zhenshan blink his eyes to make a signal, Zhao Chen turned around and went after Cao Rui.
Cao Rui didn't go very far, just hit someone out of a desire for revenge, now Cao Rui softened as soon as the excitement subsided, and he was about to fall to the ground after two steps, Zhao Chen carried him on his back , Thirteen's kid, it doesn't seem like Zhao Xuan is honest on his back.
He took the man to the pharmacy to buy medicines, rubbed them on his body, took them internally, and stopped the bleeding.Cao Rui's clothes were lifted up and even the doctor who saw the doctor couldn't bear it anymore. While prescribing medicine, he scolded whoever killed a thousand knives even beat a child.Cao Rui's whole body is blue and purple, really not much better than when Zhao Chen was abused by his alcoholic father when he was a child.
After buying the medicine, Zhao Chen carried Cao Rui back to the village. Cao Rui obediently lay on his back without saying a word. When he reached the entrance of the village, Zhao Chen asked, "Where is your home? I'll take you back."
Cao Rui behind him froze, and said in a muffled voice: "I have no home..." Zhao Chen didn't understand, Cao Rui continued, "Brother Chen, my father is dead... "
Cao Rui had just helped Zhao Chen build a house and earned some copper coins. He happily returned home with two catties of pork, but just as he entered the door, he saw his father lying motionless on the bed. He was dead and his body was cold.He was still talking to Cao Rui yesterday, and asked Cao Rui to work hard so that he could get a daughter-in-law and have a baby, but he died the next day.
All the copper coins that Cao Ruicai earned became his father's coffin book, and the two catties of pork were cooked and eaten by the people who came to do the funeral. Cao Rui's money was gone, his father was gone, and his family was gone.
In order to eat, he looked for a part-time job in the county town. He asked for little money and just wanted to have a full meal every day. He finally found one. He ate leftovers that had been frozen into ice cubes, and he almost didn't get the money.If he hadn't met Zhao Chen today, maybe his final ending would be to huddle in a corner and wait to die.
Zhao Chen felt that the clothes on his back were wet. He guessed that the kid was crying again. He sighed and had no idea, so he could only carry him to his home.
"Don't say anything depressing, look at my brother Xu, he also came from hard times, he is still alive, he can always have enough to eat, and he won't be beaten!"
