90s, The Cannon Fodder Wife of the Paranoid Boss is Reborn

Chapter 46 I can control

The military green big brick truck can carry more people.

There are quite a few brick trucks parked at the Brick Shop, but most of them are not privately owned and are rented from the brick factory owners.

Li Hongying and Xiao Guofu are not generous enough, so the brick factory owner does not rent brick trucks to them. In previous years, they rented hand-crank tractors from other wealthy families to carry people.

 The tractor body is not as tall, big and wide as a big brick truck, and there is no partition to block the wind.

Not only were there few people on board, the road was uneven and extremely bumpy. It often slipped when walking on a muddy road in rainy days. Everyone had to get out of the car and help push the cart in the cold wind.

Every time, they were complained by the tribesmen, blaming them for not being thoughtful enough and always wasting everyone's time.

If you have this much ability as a village chief, you might as well abdicate.

No matter how sad and aggrieved Li Hongying and Xiao Guofu are, they can only suffer because they cannot rent a big brick truck.

Bai Lu nodded after hearing this: "Okay, I will tell Xiao Cheng when he comes back from work. Count the total number of people before you go home. Please tell me again. We will determine how many people are taking the bus so that we can borrow a few from the brick factory owner." car.”

Li Hongying said repeatedly: "No trouble, we will come over and tell you after we count the number of people."

 Great things are accomplished.

The big stone weighing on Li Hongying's heart has finally fallen. This year, she no longer needs to be scolded for being unable to do things.

 In previous years, Xiao Cheng was not notified, thinking that he would not go and would not let his family agree to go.

I didn’t expect that his wife could also make the decision at home. It seems that the recent rumors are probably true.

 At lunch, Xiao Cheng noticed that Bai Lu glanced at him from time to time, as if she had something to say.

Sure enough, she had just finished eating and put down the dishes when she pulled her back to the room. Before leaving, she did not forget to ask Xiao Wei to help wash the dishes.

 Obviously it’s not a small matter.

“Shall we go back to the countryside tomorrow to pay homage to the ancestors of the Xiao family?” Bai Lu looked at Xiao Cheng with bright eyes, full of expectation.

 “We?” Xiao Cheng was slightly surprised.

Unexpectedly, the Xiao family will notify him this year, and even more unexpectedly, he is obviously not the only one among us.

 “Yes, us.”

Bai Lu nodded seriously: "You, me, and Xiaowei, the three of us will go back to the countryside to worship our ancestors together."

The custom of Qingming Festival here is that one must first pay homage to the ancestral tomb of the Zong family before worshiping the private tomb.

In previous years, if the clan members did not notify Xiao Cheng, Xiao Cheng would not go to worship the Xiao family ancestors, but would directly pay homage to a private tomb.

Xiao Cheng knew without thinking that it was most likely related to Bai Lu.

 However, Bailu cannot go.

“Xiao Wei and I will go.”

Bai Lu didn’t understand and didn’t agree. She let go of his hand, grabbed it back and shook it: “I want to go too.”

Xiao Cheng's arms were about to be shaken off, but his face was expressionless. He stared at her belly and said quietly: "You are pregnant. The mountain road is not easy to walk. It will slip when it rains."

Bai Lu raised three fingers and promised: "I will wear non-slip plastic water shoes and bring an umbrella. I will go wherever you go and I will never run around, okay?"

 Xiao Cheng knew what she wanted to do.

Over there in the old village, there are chestnut trees all over the mountains and plains. The old people who stick to their ancestral land have experienced the hard days of hunger in their early years and cherish every grain of food. They usually store chestnuts in their homes, and there are quite a lot of them.

Bai Lu wants to go to the old village, just to buy chestnuts.

Xiao Cheng pursed his lips and said calmly: "I'll talk about the chestnut purchase."

 “No, I want to talk to myself.”

Bai Lu didn't believe him. He was impulsive and reckless in his actions. His only thought was to fight violence with violence. If he didn't obey, he would do it. He would take action when he disagreed with someone. Should she continue her business?

Being stared at with distrustful eyes, Xiao Cheng also knew what Bai Lu was worried about. He touched his nose and coughed unnaturally: "I can control it."

　　　Bai Lu obviously didn’t believe it, so she wanted to go.

 Xiao Cheng just disagrees.

　　I don’t agree with anything. Bai Lu shakes his arm and acts coquettishly, and doesn’t agree with anything he says softly.

While the stalemate was ongoing, Li Hongying and Xiao Guofu counted the number of people and came to knock on the door to report the number.

Then I was extremely lucky to receive Xiao Cheng’s cold eyes, cold face, and a cold word “hmm”.

 The two couples suddenly became nervous again.

I want to ask a few more questions, but I don’t dare to confirm it because Bailu is inside and can’t come out.

Neither Li Hongying nor Xiao Guofu dared to ask Xiao Cheng.

 After waiting for a long time, Bai Lu didn't show up, and he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he left worriedly.

“What should we do now? If Xiao Cheng doesn’t help us borrow a brick cart, how will the 143 tribesmen in the town get back? There are men, women, and children, so walking is definitely not possible.”

Xiao Guofu frowned: "First contact the previous tractor owners and rent a car. If Xiao Cheng is willing to help rent a big brick truck tomorrow, he will return the tractor. If Xiao Cheng refuses to help, we have no choice but to let everyone Continue riding the tractor back to the countryside.”

“Then I will be scolded to death by the scorn of my tribe again and lose all my face!” Li Hongying was angry and anxious: “It’s all your fault. Why didn’t I inform Xiao Cheng in previous years?”

Xiao Guofu didn't think there was anything wrong: "With Xiao Cheng's reputation in the past, who would dare to notify him? Even if I agree, the elders in the clan will not agree."

Li Hongying snorted coldly: "It's okay now, you have agreed, and people are no longer surprised."

Xiao Guofu’s tone was tough: “Who asked him to disgrace his ancestors…”

 “What a shame, what nonsense!”

When Li Hongying's temper got angry, she spoke with a gun and a gun: "It's none of your business what people do, just eat carrots every day and don't worry about it! Our ancestors are living well in heaven, so they don't have time to care about what you do. We should burn more sacrifices during the Qingming Festival." Just put some paper money, incense candles, and offer some good food and drink, who cares what kind of work you do!"

“Say less, the gods are above and the ancestors have spirits and can hear her.” Xiao Guofu wanted to cover her mouth.

Li Hongying slapped his hand away: "There is a spirit, there is a spirit. If you can't borrow a car tomorrow, you will know that there is a spirit!"

“When your tribe scolds you for not being able to do things well and scolding you for not being worthy of being the village chief, then you will be inspired!”

“Who told Xiao Cheng not to follow the right path and bring shame on his ancestors?” Xiao Guofu still stuck to his own theory.

Li Hongying was so angry that she scolded him for being stubborn: "People who don't follow the right path have moved to the town. We are still living in the pits of the old countryside. When it is windy and rainy, the tile-roofed houses are repaired and leaked, and the leaks are repaired again and again, and there is no trace of meat foam all year round." You can’t even see Xingzi, who do you think our ancestors think is more embarrassing?”

“It’s not like there are wild boars on the mountain, so who’s to say there’s no meat to eat?” Xiao Guofu argued with reason.

Li Hongying laughed angrily: "Why didn't I see you hunting down wild boars last year? You went back and forth all year long, in and out of the mountains so many times, and you only got a few piglets back. Our son was clever and caught them by setting a trap." "

Xiao Guofu's face was filled with shame, and he explained with a frown on his neck: "Now that hunting rifles are prohibited, it is naturally difficult to kill prey."

 Li Hongying stopped talking.

I strode towards the end of the alley. There was a small three-wheeler at the end of the alley that was going back to the countryside. I finally agreed to give it a ride, but I couldn't miss it. If I missed it, I would have to walk for several hours and I would be exhausted.

 Let the cow fight on its own!

 …

the other side.

 "A Cheng... just take me there..."
