The safety and comfort of traveling through farming

Chapter 163

Ever since Wu Xiuling was so frightened by He Tao that her legs were so weak that she couldn't even walk, and she was carried back to Lin's house by Lin Laosan, all the men, women and children in Rongshu Village knew that the "Male and Female Shuangsha" of the Great Wasteland had dozens of them. Thugs, don't run into the muzzle of the gun, it's absolutely useless to mess with them.

He Tao shed two lasagna tears for this. Since adhering to the principle of "follow my heart", under the influence of the general environment, she has gone further and further along the road of shrew. It is said that Some people have used her and Fu Shi's names to scare crying children...

In just one year, she has completed a gorgeous turn from "pissed off daughter-in-law" to "street shrew". When she looked back suddenly, she was frightened by her own changes!She never knew that her personality was so extreme.Extremes are bad.

He Tao seriously introspected herself, and finally came to the conclusion that she is an upstart!
In the past, due to various reasons, she had no confidence in speaking and doing things. Now, with gold and silver in hand, food in the warehouse, and men behind her unconditionally backing her up, she has become taller and unscrupulous. Looking down on others... This state is very wrong!
If nothing else happened, she, Fu Shi, and even their children would spend their whole lives in Rongshu Village, offending others so simply and rudely—although she still felt that she did nothing wrong in dealing with Wu Xiuling, But if other villagers, especially those who had a good impression of them, withdraw their hand of friendship because of this incident, how "lonely" will be the days to come!

She and Fu Shi don't care, the key is Dongzhi and Dongye.

Think about the experience of classmate Huang Xiaopang, because the Huang family "worked for the tiger and was in the fish and meat town", but the "a little mischievous" Huang Xiaopang was rumored to be a bully. He had no friends since he was a child in Dalian. Only then did I get to know Nianzong, the only little friend.

He Tao didn't want his daughters and sons who hadn't seen him to suffer the same thing as Huang Yaonan in the future.

Everything is for the child, for the sake of the child, He Tao feels that he will be moved by himself - I am such a good mother!

After introspection, He Tao decided to start doing face-saving projects again, at least to show the goodwill of the Great Wasteland, they are not mad dogs, and they will bite anyone they catch!

So far, Dahuangdi has done several "face-saving projects". From the beginning, she gave away tofu and let the villagers ride in bullock carts for free. In fact, the reason why she is unwilling to close the doll workshop is also because she regards the small workshop as a face. One of the projects is equivalent to "Madam Diplomacy". Everyone works and talks together, which invisibly shortens the distance. In addition, there is still money to be made. But anyone who touches this side has a good relationship with the Great Wasteland. The effect is remarkable.Another thing is that the twins' birthday party entertained the children in the village, which also won them a lot of appreciation.

In view of the fact that the turmoil this time has too much influence-she has become a big villain who can stop a child from crying, He Tao decided to use a two-pronged approach, with heavy punches and strong medicine.

At this time, it was already after the wheat harvest, and Jushiwei's barracks had been built with the help of He Youliang.Four rectangular brick houses with a width of three meters and a length of five meters are used as bedrooms. The floors are covered with wooden floors.On the right side of the barracks is the large kitchen, and on the left is the large bathroom.

He Tao ordered forty wooden boxes from Carpenter Lin, one for each of the guards, to be used as a wardrobe and bedside table to store their personal belongings—although there are none yet.

The first thing He Tao decided to do to save face was to fill the guards' boxes with things.

He Tao said to He Lian: "Little sister, I have a very important task for you!"

"What kind of work?" He Lian tilted her head, she has nothing to do recently!
"I need to make clothes for the guards!" He Tao patted He Lian on the shoulder: "I'll leave this to you!"

He Lian replied playfully: "I promise to complete the task!"

"Each guard needs to make a mattress, two quilts, one thick and one thin, and a mat, and then clothes. Each person has two sets of single clothes, two sets of cotton clothes, two pairs of single shoes, and two pairs of cotton shoes."

"So much?!" He Lian's eyes were about to pop out: "When will I make it so much!"

"You stupid! Who asked you to do it alone! You go to the village to find a woman who has time, and give them the work. All you have to do is calculate how much fabric and how much cotton you need to make so many things. How much are other people's wages..."

He Lian got it right: "I just want to be a doll!"

"That's right! You can still discuss with your little brother, Nianzu, and Yousi. If you do well this time, I will hand over the doll business to you from this year on!" He Tao patted again He patted He Lian on the shoulder and said, "I am optimistic about you~"

"Okay! I promise to do it well!" He Lian patted her chest and promised, then stood up and walked outside: "I'll go to the village now and ask how much they are willing to make a piece of clothing."

"Okay, you go! By the way, help me find out, is there anyone in the village who can make maltose..."

"What are you doing asking about this?"

"In a few days, I plan to hold a fun party for Dongzhi and Dongye, and find some children for them to play with them..."

"I get it, like it's their birthday!"

"Ok!"

After He Lian went out, He Tao took the twins out the door.

Now the door between the backyard and the front yard has been sealed - in order to prevent the guards from bumping into the female relatives in the front yard.In fact, Fu Shi is superstitious, thinking that it is not good for women to enter the military camp, and it is unlucky.He opened a new door on the fence near the village road. Now, if he wants to go to the big backyard, he has to go out first, and then he can only go in half a circle.

He Tao accepted this "rule" calmly. She has now regarded the big backyard as Fu Shi's "man cave", and his recruit training as if he was playing a real-life combat game. As long as Fu Shi is in the big backyard, she will not It's easy to disturb him, but she also carefully designated the playhouse as her own territory, only allowing the twins and He Lian to enter and exit, and the males are not allowed.

As soon as Nian Zong, who was studying in the town, came home, he was dumbfounded when he found that the power in his family was divided. He didn't want to go to the big backyard, and he couldn't enter the play house.However, when he squinted his mouth and stared at He Tao with tears in his eyes, He Tao relented and allowed him to enter freely.

In the big backyard, a group of giant stone guards were practicing drawing their bows, making the sound of "bang bang bang". Fu Shi walked up and down behind the guards like a coach, stopping from time to time to correct their movements, or instruct them to shoot. way of force.

He Tao stood at the door, bent down and said to the twins: "Dongzhi, Dongye, hurry up, call your father out, come, call your father~"

The twins elongated their voices and yelled softly: "Father~~"

Fu Shi didn't seem to hear it, and was still concentrating on guiding a certain guard.

"Call again!"

"Dad~~"

Fu Shi still didn't hear it.

Dongzhi pursed her lips, and said delicately, "Father, you're not good~"

Dongye also said: "Not good~"

"Father is working very seriously, so I didn't hear it. Let's call again together, shall we?"

"Good~"

"Come on, together, Fu Shi!"

"Dad~~"

Fu Shi heard this, turned around abruptly, grinned at his wife and daughters, and ran over: "Daughter-in-law, what are you doing here?"

"It's okay, can't you come?"

"No, this is our house, you can come whenever you want!" Fu Shi pointedly said.He was still aggrieved that his wife would not let him enter the amusement house!
He Tao snorted and said, "I remember clearly, I didn't come in, so that you don't feel bad ~ lucky ~ good ~"

Fu Shi scratched the back of his head aggrievedly, squatted down, and complained to the two daughters: "You mothers are so narrow-minded!"

"Don't speak ill of me to the babes!" He Tao stretched out his foot and kicked him, and said righteously: "Just now your daughters said you were not good, and I explained it for you!"

"Dongzhi, Dongye, why do you say that father is not good?" Fu Shi asked.

The twins haven't acquired the skill of explaining yet, but instead repeat after him: "Father is not good~"

Fu Shi: "..."

"I have business with you." He Tao also squatted down.

"Daughter-in-law, tell me!"

"I want to dig a big pool for the girls to swim in. When you guys are free, you can take them to dig it out..."

The twins have always liked to play in the water, especially in summer, when they take a bath every night, they stay in it and don't come out.He Tao had thought about it before, since they liked it, he might as well dig a swimming pool and let them have a good time, which can not only exercise their bodies, but also have an extra means of escape in a critical moment.If she hadn't mentioned the fun party just now, she would have almost forgotten about it!

"Okay, where do you want to dig, tell me, I'll take them to dig later!"

"Just dig it behind the playhouse, one foot wide, and as long as the house..."

"Ah, you want to dig so big?!" Fu Shi stared blankly.The playhouse is eight feet long!
He Tao glared at him: "Why, you have time to train the guards, but you don't have time to do something for the girls?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Let's get older, the girls can swim freely! I'll go after a while!"

"You don't have to wait for a while to go, let's go tomorrow, I will tell you in advance, so that you don't have to arrange other things tomorrow!" He Tao stood up, took the twins' hands and said, "You should do your work first." , I'll take them out for a walk!"

"Okay! Don't walk outside for too long, the sun is so hot that you can't get too hot."

"Yeah. I know!"

Not long after He Tao returned to the front yard, He Lian came back, bringing back an old acquaintance—Rong Dazhuang.

"Brother Da Zhuang? Come, sit down, sister Qiuyue, is she okay?" He Tao poured herbal tea for Rong Da Zhuang.Fu Qiuyue diagnosed Ximai at the end of last year. She had aborted a child before, but this time her pregnancy was not very good. Since two months ago, her mother-in-law would not let her go out. He Tao may not have seen her for a long time.

Rong Dazhuang nodded and said: "Fortunately, at the end of every month, she asks the doctor to check her pulse. The doctor said that although the pregnancy condition is not very good, there is no major problem. The doctor also said that there are eight or nine out of ten babies. It's a kid, hehe..."

As he said that, he laughed to himself. He has also been looking forward to his son for several years!

He Tao was also happy for them, and congratulated with a smile: "Congratulations, congratulations!"

Rong Dazhuang smiled and said, "Congratulations, congratulations!"

He Tao: "..."

He Lian burst out laughing, and He Tao glared at her, and then she restrained herself, and said seriously: "Eldest sister, big brother can make maltose!"

"You can also make maltose!" Rong Dazhuang is too versatile!He is also a plasterer, he can watch animals get sick, he is said to be able to extract oil, and he can even make maltose!

Rong Dazhuang said with a smile: "My father knows it, so I learned a little bit."

"That's just right. In a few days, I want to invite the children in the village to come and play. Can you come and make maltose on the spot?"

Rong Dazhuang said seriously: "It is impossible to do it on the spot. This thing needs to be prepared several days in advance. First, the wheat must be germinated, and then it must be steamed. The glutinous rice must also be cooked in advance, from frying sugar to boiling. It will take an hour and a half!"

"Then can you prepare it first, and then bring the things to boil?" He Tao tried to explain his thoughts: "I just want the children to watch the sugar come out of the pot... just let them watch the things. If it’s done, the kids will be happy too!”

When she said this, Rong Dazhuang finally understood. In fact, she wanted him to perform for the children like the sugar paintings and sugar blowers on the street!
"This is no problem. I prepare it at home, and then come over to boil the candy. The boiled candy is not the kind sold outside, and it has to be dragged until the candy that can be sold is finally made. The stretching part is worth seeing! Moreover, there are several kinds that can be prepared, which can be made into syrup, chewed on a stick, or made into sticks, hollow, with sesame seeds on the outside..."

"Okay, Brother Da Zhuang, you are an expert, so this matter will trouble you!"

"Tell me if it's troublesome or not..."

The two discussed for a while about how many catties of sugar to make, what raw materials were needed, and how many catties of each kind, and He Tao asked Rong Dazhuang to give some advice to the swimming pool.Rong Dazhuang didn't refuse, after looking around on the spot, he calculated the required materials and the approximate cost, and He Tao simply entrusted this matter to him.

Rong Dazhuang got two errands and left happily. As soon as he left, He Lian began to talk about her achievements: "Eldest sister, I went to ask about the mats. Aunt Desheng in the village can make up the mats, and she will produce the materials." , [-] yuan per bed. If other materials are provided by us, a set of cotton clothes will cost [-] yuan, and single clothes will be halved. The same goes for shoes, [-] yuan for cotton shoes, and [-] yuan for single shoes. Same. I asked several people, and the prices they quoted were all about the same, and they were all rushing to make it!"

"I'll leave this matter to you. You can just look at it yourself. I only look at the result! It doesn't matter if you wait for the cotton clothes, just make the unlined clothes and shoes first..."

"I know, wait to wear it!" He Lian nodded.She didn't go to the backyard recently, not only because Fu Shi said that the women are not as good as the military camp, but the most important thing is that the forty men behind are almost naked, even if Fu Shi asked her to go, she would not go.
