Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 317 The Dowry
mock up.

If you don't come out, I won't be able to hit you!

Li Hongbing raised his arms backwards, stretching his body as far as possible, then the upper arm drove the forearm, and the forearm drove the wrist to swing forward.

Finally, when letting go of the mud ball, quickly wave your wrist at that moment.

The ball of yellow mud swirled, drew a strange arc, and flew around the air to the iron egg behind the tree!
Snapped!
Hit Tie Dan directly in the face.

"Bah, bah, I can't see, I can't see!"

The face was covered in yellow mud, and Tie Dan yelled and screamed. The other children heard that they ran over to help, but were hit by the yellow mud ball on the way. Even Anna and Nanna were not spared. into one piece.

They should be thankful that Li Hongbing didn't play for real. If he tried his best, these little bastards would really die in battle.

"Brother!" Shan Xing, who was the referee, couldn't see it. An old man beat the child up and screamed, and he was shameless.

Li Hongbing put down the ball of yellow mud in his hand embarrassingly.

Just as he was about to announce the end of the game, Li Hongqi came out of the alley with Jianjun and Victory.

Seeing the group of children being bullied, he looked at Li Hongbing with contempt.

"Brother, you are not authentic, how can you bully the baby, and fight us if you are capable!"

Oh!
Li Hongbing weighed the yellow mud ball in his hand meaningfully, "Just for fun, if you lose, I will give you a fighting dog each, if you win, my barn needs to be expanded, and you all come to work."

If you win, you will get a fighting dog, if you lose, you will work!

The eyes of Li Hongqi and the others lit up instantly.

And this good thing.

As the old saying goes, two fists are hard to beat four hands, and Brother Hongbing is alone, and we have three, and we are afraid that we will not win.

In the past, Mantou and Tie Dan also had this idea, but now one is flopping in the pond, and the other is lying on the ground digging mud.

"Let's get started, do you want to get ready?" Li Hongbing asked with a smile.

Li Hongqi waved his hand, and looked at the screaming children around him with contempt, "No, I was also the commander of the war back then, unlike you who can only bully dolls."

"Oh, I'm starting then!"

With a flick of his arm, Li Hongbing exerted three points of strength, and the ball of yellow mud flew out like a cannonball, and instantly came to Li Hongqi.

Snapped!
The ball of yellow mud hit Li Hongqi's chest, and Li Hongqi staggered to the ground with a scream.

Jianjun and Shengli were bending over to pick up dirt and rubbish. Before they knew what happened, they saw Li Hongqi fell to the ground and shouted ouch.

clap clap!

Another two balls of yellow mud flew over, hitting Jianjun's back and Shengli's legs respectively.

Whoops!Whoops!
Only then did the two of them know why Li Hongqi cried out for pain.

"Accept the punishment! Young man!" Li Hongbing yelled out a second line, and balls of yellow mud flew out of his hands like raindrops.

Clap clap clap clap!

Whoops!Whoops!Whoops!

The three gentlemen fell to the ground, shaking like an electric shock every time they were hit, and screaming.

The children next to me were dumbfounded.

You can still play like this after a rough battle, the three of Uncle Hongqi's screams are quite miserable!
"Surrender!! Don't play anymore!" Li Hongqi raised his arms and shook them weakly!

Li Hongbing revealed a sinister smile, and flung out the yellow mud ball in his hand.

"If you say you won't fight, you won't fight."

clap clap clap!
"Commander Tukela!"

clap clap clap!
"Bully the little doll!"

clap clap clap!
Who knew that Brother Hongbing had such a strong desire for revenge, and it really hurt when the yellow mud ball hit his body.

Shengli hugged his head, curled up into a ball, and shouted, "Brother, I didn't say anything, it has nothing to do with me!"

"I didn't say anything, I'm going to hit you and hit the red flag alone." Jianjun shouted.

Li Hongqi was furious, "You two traitors, we agreed to live and die together. Brother, you smashed these two idiots to death."

Li Hongbing, who had already enjoyed the game, patted the mud in his hands, "Surrender or not!"

"Surrender, surrender!!"

If he didn't surrender, he would be beaten into a sieve. Li Hongqi grinned in pain and stood up. When he came, he was wearing clean clothes, but now they were covered with yellow mud. He could be a terracotta warrior at that stop.

The same is true for victory and army building, staring at Li Hongqi with resentment.

It's a dog, if it weren't for this guy who was thinking about the fighting dog of Brother Hongbing's family, how could the two of us have suffered so much.

hiss! !

It hurts.

Brother Red Soldier, kill me!
But Tie Dan, Scarlet, Anna and other children are now in balance, and their bodies don't hurt so much!

Li Hongbing looked at the dirty Anna and her daughter, "I'll go home with Aunt Xing, you won't come back!"

The heads of the two girls shook like rattles.

With so many friends here, it's so boring to go home.

"It's up to you." Li Hongbing looked at the bewildered Li Hongqi and the other three with a smile, and did not forget to remind them of the bet, "Remember to bring all the tools with you tomorrow."

"understood!"

Li Hongqi responded dejectedly. Now that I think about it, Brother Hongbing deliberately used the fighting dog as a trap to get himself hooked.

The people in the city have bad eyes!

The fighting dog didn't get it, so he was beaten up instead, and finally had to work.

How can this be reasonable.

"Jianjun, why don't you stop me?"

Jianjun's nostrils were filled with mud, and he said in a muffled voice, "Why don't you stop, once you hear that you win and give away a fighting dog, you will be like a dog seeing shit. Brother Red Soldier is clearly playing tricks."

Li Hongqi watched Li Hongbing's back in a bleak manner.

Ugh!
"We're still too kind. Remember to call me tomorrow morning."

Back to the old house.

Before his butt was warmed up, Shuisheng led Xiucai into the paddy field with big bags in his hands.

"Who are you?" Li Hongbing called the two of them to sit under the old oak tree.

Shan Xing brought tea, and the two hurriedly stood up and took the tea mug. After sitting down again, Shui Sheng said with a wry smile.

"Uncle Hongbing, it's like this. I've discussed it with Liu Widow Liu Lanhua. I'll skip the engagement and go straight to work. Erni has a baby in her belly, and if she drags it on for a few more months, she won't be laughed at when she shows her pregnancy. .”

Li Hongbing nodded in agreement, gossip and gossip in rural areas are still very powerful, one spread to ten, ten to a hundred, and in the end, various versions can be spread all over the sky.

"When are you going to ask me for help?"

Shuisheng wrinkled his whole face together, rubbed his hands and let out a long sigh, "The date hasn't been set yet, so if you are free tomorrow, help take Chunlan and Xiucai to the town, and buy the three-turn-one-ring and hardware first." Already!"

Three turns and one sound, hardware?
Li Hongbing was stunned.

Widow Liu's knife was a bit ruthless, and it was directly inserted into the aquatic lung tube.

As far as the conditions of Caogou Village are concerned, a gift of [-] yuan is already a sky-high price, and what is needed are three rings, hardware, and what age is the fight now, and three rings are needed.

In the past, the elders in rural areas had to ring three times to get married, referring to bicycles, watches, sewing machines, and radios.

Hardware is gold rings, gold bracelets, gold necklaces, gold earrings, gold anklets.

It's okay to talk about hardware, gold and silver jewelry keep Ernie, and you can bring it back when you marry, and it's reasonable to ask for a sewing machine and a radio.

But what's the use of a bicycle? If it's a bigger village, you can get around in just a little bit of shit. Could it be that you still ride to the town and go back and forth for more than 200 miles? If you don't ride it, you will be exhausted.

"Does it have 32 legs?" Li Hongbing asked in a low voice.

The father and son's faces darkened for a moment, and they nodded silently.

Grass!
Widow Liu is going to fly!

According to her tossing around, Shui Sheng's family will be ruined after getting married!

Li Hongbing stood up for a while, with a cold face, "I'll talk to Widow Liu, the marriage is not like this."

Shui Sheng reached out and grabbed Li Hongbing's arm, shaking his head, "Uncle Hongbing, I have agreed to everything. Whoever makes old Zhang's family have only one son, he must not be the son-in-law."

"It's okay to have 32 legs. I'm a carpenter myself, and it's easy to make, but it's a bit troublesome to make three turns and one sound and hardware. If you put together a hundred thousand gifts, the family really doesn't have much money."

Li Hongbing sat back in his chair helplessly, looking at the father and son who lowered their heads.

As Shuisheng said, the cabinets, dressing table, writing table, five-drawer kitchen, sofa, and bed in the 32 legs are all carpentry work, and he can handle them.

The big head is the [-] betrothal gift, three turns and one ring, and hardware.

"How much money is left?"

The father and son raised their heads abruptly. In fact, the purpose of coming to the Li family's old house this time was to borrow money, but neither of them could save face, so they simply came to the door together, wanting to lose face together.

"Not bad. Not good." Shui Sheng blushed, hesitating, unable to speak.

Li Hongbing looked tired, and asked the scholar directly, "How far is it?"

Xiucai lowered her head in shame, "Elder Sister made up for me, it's still more than 7 yuan short."

Ugh!
What does it mean that a penny stumps a hero.

Li Hongbing sighed inwardly, and said, "Tomorrow, I'll take you to the town, make up the whole amount, and get you 8 yuan. It's not enough to tell in advance, if you don't have the money, don't worry."

"Enough, enough!" Shui Sheng nodded again and again, and slapped Xiucai on the back of the head with his hand, "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you thank you, Lord Hongbing."

"Master Red Soldier" the scholar opened his mouth excitedly to thank him, but was stopped by Li Hongbing raising his hand halfway, "Don't thank me, this money will be deducted from your salary, you want to take a break, so let Erni go to Qixiang San As a manager in the factory, your salary will rise, and you will live a good life in the future.”

Send Shuisheng and his son away.

Shan Xing, who was listening to the base of the wall in the main room, came out, snuggled up to Li Hongbing, frowning.

"Widow Liu has gone too far."

Li Hongbing shook his head, "It's a bit too much, but think about it again, a widow drags Erni to grow up, asks for so many things, and in the end it's not for Erni. It's not right for a scholar to mess around without getting married. In the past, they were not allowed to enter the pig cage.”

Originally, he was gossip about other people's family, but the more Li Hongbing spoke, his voice became quieter, and he looked at Shan Xing beside him with a guilty conscience.

"Say it, why don't you say it, when will we enter the pig cage." Shan Xing sneered.

In Li Hongbing's view, Shan Xing's words were like an invisible knife hanging above his head. If he answered wrongly, click, the knife would cut off.

Hurrying to say hello, hugging Shan Xing's slender waist, flatteringly said, "Our parents have already booked our days, what kind of pig cage should we enter, we are an old married couple now."

"Bah, who is your old husband and wife." Shan Xing smiled, lying in Li Hongbing's arms, and murmured, "I want to see them. Back then, when my father was still alive, he named me Shan Xing, saying that the mountains were poor. , only the apricot tree grows vigorously, I think I can live strong like the apricot in the cold and hardship."

look at them!

Li Hongbing naturally knew who he was referring to.

To be honest, ever since I saw Shan Xing's miserable appearance for the first time, I hated and hated that vicious woman and the two white-eyed wolf brothers, and I never mentioned those three people, so as not to touch Shan Xing's sadness.

At this time, Shan Xing put his arm around Li Hongbing, pillowed it on his shoulder, and said quietly.

"I also want to burn some paper for my father. In this life, besides my father, you are the only one who treats me well. I want to tell them how good I am now, and I also have a man I love."

"Okay! Go find them." Of course, Li Hongbing raised his hands in approval of Shan Xing's decision. Whoever said that honest people have no temper, it's just that it's not time to get angry.

The next morning.

At dawn, Shuisheng's family rushed to the old house.

After hastily eating breakfast, I left the silly boy at home to watch the two girls go to school, and helped Li Hongqi expand the barn by the way.

Li Hongbing rode Sanbangzi and left Caogou Village with Shanxing, Dahua, Mrs. Chunlan and Xiucai.

Because the old pig was not brought with him, the big wild boar played a childish temper for a while, rampaging on the rice field. You must know that no one can stop the wild boar from getting angry.

Crying children have candy!

The animals in the old house seemed to have opened up a new world when they saw the result of the commotion.

It turned out to be possible to do so.

Just as Li Hongbing was riding Sanbengzi and was about to go out, Erhei suddenly blocked the road and lay down in front of the car, barking and twisting, all kinds of obstacles.

"What are you crazy about, get out of here." Li Hongbing got out of the car, picked up Erhei's neck, and threw it aside.

Shouldn't that be the case?

Erhei was stunned, why was it different from what he thought.

The old pig happily passed by with hooves, and the moment he turned his head, two words flashed in his eyes, "Shabi!"

Arriving at the [-]th Turn of Chaotianyan, Li Hongbing was surprised to find that this place had become a busy construction site, with machines roaring everywhere, and workers were constructing in an intense and orderly manner.

Several excavators rumbled to dig the mountain to clear the road, the machines roared and dust was flying.

"Hey, hey, who the hell, move away quickly, a car will come over to unload the goods immediately." A familiar voice came from the construction site.

Sun Qiang ran over wearing a red safety helmet, his face was ashamed, and his originally chubby figure seemed to be thinner now.

When he ran closer and saw Li Hongbing riding a bicycle, Sun Qiang immediately greeted him enthusiastically, "Hey, it's Dr. Li, long time no see."

Li Hongbing parked the three bungee in a place where it would not interfere with the construction, got off the car and asked with a smile.

"Is your father-in-law's affair resolved? The mother-in-law has three children, a boy and a girl? Is my sister-in-law getting better after menopause?"

Forehead!
Sun Qiang's sun-tanned face turned even darker now, and he cursed embarrassingly, "You son of a bitch, Wang Hai, why does this grandson keep talking outside, and see if I don't beat him to death."

"When did you start construction? Why didn't you notify me to come and cut the ribbon? I'm Party A!" Li Hongbing looked up at the busy construction site.

"Two days ago, Mr. Qian said that you have a lot of work, so he didn't notify you." Sun Qiang replied cautiously, for fear of offending Li Hongbing. After all, Party A was not notified about the start of work.

"The drawing has been designed so quickly, is there any rendering?" Li Hongbing asked curiously.

"Yes, yes! Put it in the office."

Sun Qiang hurriedly led the way to a temporary blue and white shed, and called to a young man wearing a white hard hat, "Xiao He, go and bring the renderings of the nineteen crutches to Party A's father."

The young man glanced at Li Hongbing, who was dressed as a farmer, and ran into the shed, coming out with a roll of blueprints in his hand.

Sun Qiang took the drawing and opened it, and the completely new Nineteen Crutches appeared in front of everyone.
