Chapter 218 Want to spend the holiday together

Chu Fu took some assistants and pulled away the carriages blocked in front of the yard. These carts were full of washboards, which they planned to send to Guanshi Huang, but they had counted them earlier, and they were not enough. Yes, leave it at the door.

This time, Wang Er and the others drove their carriage to the side, leaving a lane in the middle, so that the cart of wood from Che Laoguai could come over. Old man Li walked out of the yard and looked at the cart of wood. Yes, but it's similar to theirs, and it's not bad.

Chu Fu looked at Old Man Li and nodded, and asked his buddies to move in, and quickly started making boards. It has been half an hour just now, and in the remaining time, they have to quickly make about [-] boards. Before the wooden shop delivered the wood, it roughly polished the boards into shape, and finally only the wide and narrow grooves were left.

He went over to help pick up a few pieces of wood, and handed them to the guy beside him. The guy took it weakly, and slowly handed it to the guy next to him.

Chu Ge was at the door of the main room, looking at everyone, he was really tired, and he had to deliver the goods later, he thought about it loudly, and everyone in the yard turned their heads to watch.

"Brothers, I know that everyone is very tired, but we will deliver the goods in an hour and a half, everyone, work harder, wait until today's busy work is over, let's rest for a few days Work, take a good rest, and the wages will be counted!"

It's good to be able to sleep at home for a few days, and the wages are still counted!

When the guys in the yard heard what Chu Ge said, they suddenly became motivated, and replied to him loudly, "Oh!"

Seeing that the big guys were busy with their hands and feet, Chu Ge smiled and walked to the main room, where Xiu Niang was sitting in it, staring at him with wide eyes.

Chu Ge took a look at himself, and sat beside her, "Xiu Niang, what's the matter?"

Xiu Niang looked at him and smiled, "Success, you look like a shopkeeper, and you know when to turn the strings on the guys so that they can get busy."

Chu Ge listened to Xiu Niang boasting about himself, with that small dimple on his pretty face, and he was beautiful in his heart, but he didn't know what to say to Shang Xiu Niang's big watery eyes. , just smiled stupidly.

Xiu Niang looked at Chu Ge carefully, although she liked Chu Ge's simple and stingy face very much, but if the relationship between the two of them was always like this, it wouldn't be a problem. It's also a bad habit to tease this idiot with evil intentions.

She was looking at Chu Ge right now, and just about to do something with an itchy heart, she heard someone outside talking, "Well, let's settle this account, and if you have anything else to say, go in and talk to my second brother." .”

With a few taels of silver in his hand, Che Laoguai chatted with Wen Shi, then walked into the main room, looked at Chu Ge and Xiu Niang, "Hey, little shopkeeper, thank you, I was listening to my master. I said, send you some materials, and you give me back the money, this is really..."

Xiu Niang interrupted him, she didn't want to accept the favor of Erye Yang when the old crook brought the wood, but her family really needed the material right now, so she accepted it, but she did it according to the market situation. Bought for the above price.

It's just that everyone in the wooden workshop was busy just now, so she asked Wen Shi to take Che Laoguai to the front cabinet, where there were still some broken silver in the drawer, Wen Shi just gave him enough money, in this case, their timber Not counting it as a gift from Second Master Yang, it will be easy to talk about in the future.

"Che Laoguai, this money is not for you, but for your car's wood. Your home wood shop and our Chu family wood shop have no friendship. We don't need you to send this wood or anything. !"

Che Laoguai smiled when he heard this, and said to Xiuniang, "Sister, don't think too much, my master also explained this matter earlier, if you give me the money, I will accept it, and if you don't give it to me, I will go back." , Originally, my master didn’t mean anything, just thinking that you returned the list to us last time, thinking..."

"Okay, the car is old. Our wooden workshop itself is very busy, and we don't have time to take the order. You go back and tell your master that you don't need to thank you."

Xiuniang interrupted Che Laoguai again, just like what he said just now, they "returned" the furniture order in the palace to Yuanmuhang instead of "giving up" it to Yuanmuhang. Said, did the list originally belong to them?

Listening to what Xiuniang said just now, Che Laoguai just nodded and agreed, talking nonsense, but he didn't mean to leave, he should help the neighbors, hey, you can lend me a handful of beans, I Give you back a handful of rice, what's the matter.

Originally, Chu Ge didn't like to listen to what the old car said, so he didn't make a sound at first, and let Xiu Niang chatter with him, but after hearing this, Chu Ge understood what the old car meant. .

He waved his hand and muttered, "Okay, Che Laoguai, don't talk anymore, you go back and tell your master that I gave him the bill, now our two families settle the matter."

The Che Laoguai seemed to be waiting for this sentence. After Chu Ge finished speaking, he laughed and ran away without any delay.

Xiu Niang blinked and looked at Chu Ge, "It's clear what is what, what did you say to Che Laoguai?"

As Chu Ge said, when Che Laoguai came earlier, he kept saying that he was called by his master, and just now he was always talking about what he said, so he just wanted to make a break. That's why he said that, anyway, he didn't want to continue this matter, and it had nothing to do with that Yuanmu shop.

After hearing Chu Ge's words, Xiu Niang thought to herself that Yang's second child was unpredictable and weird, so he could figure it out.

Chugo said again, "Well, but I just don't understand, how does he know that we are short of wood here?"

Xiu Niang frowned and thought for a while, "Yeah, that's right, this park is at least half a street away from us, how could he know it so clearly... Hey, that's right!"

As she was thinking about it, she suddenly remembered that two days ago, she saw Shan Zi sneaking around outside. She remembered that Wang Er had said before that the person who followed them earlier was also Shan Zi. At that time, Xiuniang didn't know The gardener wants to play some tricks again, and he is very angry.

But at that time, Xiuniang was mainly angry with Chuge, angry that he had given up the list to Yuanmuhang with good intentions, but he was trying to squeeze them out in turn.

But now it seems that this is not the case. Second Master Yang has a weird temperament and is also very proud. It is impossible for him to receive favors in vain. The sooner the better, at least everyone is evened out.

However, how to finish it in a short period of time, this is what Xiuniang thought, that is, this second master Yang, let Shanzi keep an eye on them, see if there is any "opportunity" to take advantage of, after all, this little one It is still a bit of a mystery that the wooden workshop in China will make more than a thousand boards in just four days.

Second Master Yang probably asked Shanzi to record how many carts of wood Chu Ge and the others brought back every day, and then went back to the garden wood shop to tell him that he counted it out, roughly how many boards Chu's wood workshop can make in a day.

No, today he asked Che Laoguai to bring four or five hundred pieces of material, except for the boards that were discarded in their wood workshop (they had saved them before), this Second Master Yang is still very powerful Yes, or why people always call him a 'golden abacus'.

Chu Ge listened to what Xiu Niang said, and when he thought about it, it was really the case. That day he and Xiu Niang pushed off Manager Huang's order, but Second Master Yang didn't say anything on his face, but he could tell that the man was still Some want to thank them.

After all, the orders in this palace, not to mention the large quantity, the price is not bad, and the garden wood shop of the second master Yang is specially made for this big object. If he discards this order, he will lose a lot of money , of course he has to come to thank him and Xiuniang.

He thought about it and smiled, "Unexpectedly, this Second Master Yang usually looks quite unreasonable, but he is also quite careful behind the scenes, but his temper is too rigid."

Xiu Niang curled her lips, she was not as easy-talking as Chu Ge, who relaxed her mind so easily, she could remember exactly how Yang's second son ran against them before.

She said angrily, "You are so stubborn, it should be said that it is a stone in a latrine, it is smelly and hard!"

After Xiuniang finished speaking, she exchanged glances with Chu Ge, and suddenly both laughed. What she said and what Chu Ge said meant almost the same thing.

After this matter was settled, it made people feel very tired after they settled down. Xiu Niang smiled and looked at Chu Ge sitting with herself. She suddenly felt in her heart that she hadn't been with Chu Ge like this for a long time. Chatting.

Chu Ge smiled, and suddenly saw Xiu Niang looking at him all the time, which made him a little uncomfortable, but he laughed again in a stupid way.

Xiu Niang was very happy to see him. Since she moved from Xiayang Village to the town last year, another year has passed. Chu Ge's face has grown a little more mature, and his smile is more handsome than before. Yes, but the only thing that remains the same is that they are too stingy.

To be honest, Xiuniang misses the time when she used to live in Xiayang Village. Even though their family had no money at that time, she could stay with Chugo every day, and sometimes they would go up the mountain together to pick mushrooms and so on. Mile.

Besides, Chu Ge would still chat with her after a day of busy work in the family and fields. Although Chu Ge is a boring gourd, he can always pretend to take in her words. Unlike now, the two of them get along every day. We were together, but we couldn't talk properly.

She was thinking about it, and just as she was thinking about what to say, she heard old man Li shouting outside, asking Chu Ge to come out and help make the board.

Chu Ge also responded, and looked at Xiuniang. He just looked at her to say something.

Xiu Niang looked at him and said that there was nothing to do, and asked him to help the yard quickly. Is making the boards the most urgent thing now? She just wanted to say that she wanted to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival alone with Chu Ge? However, it wouldn't be too late to wait for Chu Ge to finish his busy work.

Hearing what Xiu Niang said, Chu Ge got up with a smile, but when he walked to the door, he turned around again and said, "Xiu Niang, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in two days, I want to put my parents and children together. Xiang'er and the others came to the town together for the festival..."
