In the afternoon, when Zhang Taiping was looking for money from the old man, he came, followed by an old man of about the same age.

"Has the wood been delivered?" When Old Man Qian came over, he saw the pile of wood on the field.

Zhang Taiping said: "Well, it was delivered just now, and we can start tomorrow."

"Okay!" Old Man Qian responded, then let the old man next to him come out and said, "This is my fellow disciple I told you, named Yang Jianzhe, from Yao Village."

Yaozhai is a small village nearby. Although it is called Yaozhai, most of the people in it are named Yang. It is more appropriate to call it Yangjiazhuang. The situation is similar to that of Wangjiagou.

"Hello, Uncle Yang." Zhang Taiping greeted him. He didn't have the habit of shaking hands when meeting in the countryside, so he gave each of them a cigarette.

This man didn't seem to be a good talker. After meeting him and saying a few words, he fell silent and just smoked a cigarette next to him. Old man Zhang Taiping and Qian were chatting about how to build a house, and he just listened.

Although he didn't speak, he listened very carefully. He must be a person who speaks with his actions. After agreeing on the time for tomorrow, he stood up and left.

After Yang Jianzhe left, Zhang Taiping smiled and said to Old Man Qian: "You, senior brother, are a bit boring."

Old Man Qian also smiled and said, "He is indeed a bit reticent, but he is a really nice person. He is serious and down-to-earth in his work and has no evil intentions."

Zhang Taiping nodded and asked, "How many others are there?"

Old Man Qian replied: "Qian Wang's side will finish a small job today. Three people can come over tomorrow, and we have to find three or four more people in the village."

After sitting for a while, the two of them went out to look for people in the village. This year is different from previous years. In the past, most of the young people in the village were working outside at this time, and the only ones left in the village were the elderly and young people.

Child. But the situation in the village is very different this year. Many people did not choose to go out to work after the busy summer, but saw the business opportunities in the village and prepared to work hard in the village. So the two found it easily

A few laborers who are relatively idle for the time being.

After looking for someone, the two stopped by the village chief's house to sit down.

"I was about to go find you." The old village chief said to Zhang Taiping after he entered the house.

"What do you want from me?" Zhang Taiping asked.

The old village chief took off the key hanging from his waist, opened a mahogany box, took out a large pile of documents and handed them to Zhang Taiping and said: "Here are the contract and some related documents. Take a look."

Zhang Taiping briefly read the contract and documents. The above agreement was similar to what several people discussed at the time, and then asked: "When was this signed?"

The old village chief replied: "It was signed at noon this morning. Fengyukou Village reserved a table in the town and had a meal after signing the contract." The old village chief may not understand this yet.

I don't know if this is a normal thing.

Zhang Taiping didn't know much about the contract and couldn't see if there was any problem with the contract. He said, "Is there anyone checking this contract?"

The old village chief nodded: "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have dared to sign a contract with them. Zhuang Yu and Wang Peng accompanied them, and Zhuang Yu also called a friend of hers, saying he was a lawyer.

.”

"That's fine." Zhang Taiping said, "As long as there is no problem with the contract, the matter will be settled."

"Let me tell you two." The old village chief said, "Tomorrow afternoon I am going to convene a meeting with the whole village to explain this matter to the masses in detail. The commander will go back and prepare, and he will also explain it when he goes on stage.

Two sentences."

Zhang Taiping quickly shook his head: "I'll forget it. I didn't participate too much in this matter at all. I have nothing to say."

The old village chief smiled and said: "You can't say that. Although you didn't sign the contract in the end, you still came up with a lot of ideas in the early stage. Besides, even if there is no such thing, it is still beneficial for you to say a few words. Villagers

I’ll listen to you now. When the time comes, I’ll go up and say a few words of encouragement to increase everyone’s enthusiasm.”

Zhang Taiping smiled bitterly: "Now all the villagers are as active and motivated as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood. So what else do I need to say?"

The old village chief waved his hand and said, "Don't refuse, it's settled."

What else could Zhang Taiping say, he could only accept it. He left old man Qian and the old village chief to drink, and then went home.

The sun has already reached the top of the mountain. There is no scorching heat and glare at noon. It looks like a big pancake. The soft light shines on people and the warm wind that is not too hot blows away the boredom of the whole day.

Enjoy some comfort and relaxation as the evening approaches.

After returning to the house, Mu Hongli had already pushed his sister out of the back, and was quietly looking at the red circle hanging on the top of the mountain in the west. The crimson light shone on her body, giving her a dusty smell. Just standing away

The bald head not far from the two of them broke the silence. It's not that he broke anything by speaking out, but the reflective bald head didn't fit the scene.

"How is it?" Zhang Taiping walked over and asked.

Mu Hongli didn't seem to be in a very relaxed mood and didn't say anything.

On the contrary, the girl in the wheelchair still had a faint smile on her face and spoke openly about her condition: "I have muscle atrophy in my legs. The old man just checked and said it is a nerve problem. It is the same as the hospital's diagnosis.

.”

"Then the old man didn't say whether it can be cured?" For such a girl who could still smile despite the pain, Zhang Taiping hoped that she would get better.

"The old man said that he is not sure whether it can be cured and needs to be observed for a period of time."

After hearing this sentence, Zhang Taiping's heart moved. Maybe to others, this was a perfunctory sentence to delay time and defraud the treatment fee. However, Zhang Taiping understood the old man's medical practice style. If he can be cured, he can be cured. If he can't be cured, he will explain it directly.

Yes, there is no such thing as delaying time and defrauding medical fees. Now that I say it, there is definitely a certain chance of being cured, but the chance is not high.

Zhang Taiping thought for a while, and with the old man's odds and his own space spring water, the chances of curing this girl's legs are still very high. He smiled and said: "You might as well give it a try, maybe a miracle will happen."

"Yeah." The girl nodded, "I like the environment here too."

Zhang Taiping smiled and said nothing. Although this girl's mentality in facing the pain was admirable, she had tried too many times and still didn't have much hope for this treatment.

"Your name is Dashuai Zhang?"

Zhang Taiping shook his head: "My real name is Zhang Taiping."

"Then why do others call you 'handsome'?" The girl tilted her head slightly, and the indifferent expression on her face disappeared, replaced by the curiosity and romance that a little girl should have.

Although Mu Hongli was curious about why his usually gentle and even wise temperament showed so many expressions that he had never seen before, he did not interrupt. He just watched Niannian speak.

"That's just a nickname." Zhang Taiping said, "I still don't know your name after talking about it for so long."

"My sister's name is Muhongli, and my name is Muhongyu."

"Red Carp, a good name." Zhang Taiping praised it.

"Hehe." Mu Hongyu looked at her sister and smiled, but no one had ever dared to say their names like that in front of her sister.

The wooden red carp didn't have much of a reaction, but used its green jade fingers to tuck the green hair that had spread to her forehead behind her ears.

Seeing that her sister had no reaction, Mu Hongyu quickly glanced between the two and asked, "Do you know each other?"

Mu Hongli turned to his sister and said, "I bought that wine from him."

"Ah, you can also make wine? Did you buy the best wine from you?" Mu Hongyu asked Zhang Taiping in surprise.

Zhang Taiping nodded: "Some are brewed by me, some are not."

"Then bring a jar of your brew and drink it."

Zhang Taiping looked at her with a smile and said, "You drink too?"

"Haha, you are looking down on me. I am a hero among women. I can drink a lot of wine and never get drunk!" Muhongyu waved his arms boldly, but the boldness was not reflected, but he looked a little more cute.

Energetic.

Zhang Taiping also laughed: "Haha, okay! Just wait a moment and I'll get a jar over."

Not long after, Zhang Taiping took out a jar of wine and four cups in his hand.

After patting open the mud seal and pulling out the stopper, the richness seemed to spread immediately, seducing the alcohol bug in the stomachs of the three of them.

The wooden red fish sniffed his nose and said impatiently: "Pour a glass quickly, pour a glass." After saying that, he licked his lips, looking like a little drunkard.

Zhang Taiping couldn't help but think of the situation when his sister Mu Hongli was drinking. As expected, like sisters must be like sisters. Both sisters are alcoholics. He thought in his mind but did not affect the movements of his hands, and divided the four cups into the hands of the three of them.

, and then fill it with wine.

The actions of the two sisters were exactly the same. They closed their eyes gently and did not rush to drink. Instead, they sniffed the cup with their noses. After being intoxicated for a while, they drank it in one gulp. Opening their bright eyes,

Stretch the cup over again.

Zhang Taiping refilled the wine for the two sisters, and the three of them clinked the glasses and drank it all. Zhang Taiping gestured to the bald man again, and the bald man shook his head, indicating that one glass was enough. Zhang Taiping understood his responsibilities.

, and there was no more persuasion to drink.

After three cups, Muhongyu thought the cup was too small and unsatisfying: "This cup is too small, let's drink from a big bowl!"

Zhang Taiping didn't expect such a delicate girl to be so powerful and bold when drinking wine. He directly handed the jar to her and said, "Use this."

"You don't drink anymore?"

"You drink it."

Muhongyu looked at her sister, and Muhongyu also shook her head slightly.

Seeing that her sister stopped drinking, Mu Hongyu unceremoniously picked up the wine jar and started drinking. Mu Hongyu watched her sister drinking happily, with not only pampering in her eyes but also a trace of pain hidden behind her pampering.

"Aren't you afraid of getting drunk?" Zhang Taiping asked after seeing the girl's ferocious behavior.

"I haven't been drunk yet!" Muhongyu said, slightly wrinkled his nose.

Zhang Taiping looked at Mu Hongli and she nodded: "You won't get drunk after a thousand cups! I haven't been drunk since Xiaoyuer started drinking!"

Zhang Taiping could only lament that he was inferior to this ability. Although he could drink, there was always a limit. If he exceeded the limit, he would get drunk.

It wasn't until the sun set that the three of them drove away. When they left, Zhang Taiping let Mu Hongyu hold the half-jar of unfinished wine.

Watching the car disappear in the shade of the trees, Zhang Taiping was in a daze. He felt very strange about this girl, a kind of sympathy, and a feeling as if he had seen his sister. In short, it could calm down his mood.
