Chapter 1752: Sneaking Into the Village
Where is the master? "A man who looked like a butler entered the manor, holding up the hem of his long gown with both hands.
"Grandpa is in Kuixing Tower. "There was a binding answer.
The housekeeper hurried to Kuixing Tower.
Chen Laocai's manor is in the north of Shuiquan Town. It has high walls and a large courtyard, so it is called the manor in the manor by the local people. Kuixing Tower - this four-story building is the highest point of this manor in the manor. Standing on the top of this building, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Shuiquan Town.
When the housekeeper arrived at the door of Kuixing Tower, his master Chen Laocai had already come down. He must have seen him rushing over.
Chen Laocai is in his fifties, his hair is already gray, and he is wearing an old thick suit.
If an outsider who doesn't know him suddenly looks at him, he would think he is a poor local rich man. Who would have thought that he is Chen Laocai, who has a fortune?
But this is exactly what Chen Laocai has always done, keeping a low profile and never showing off his wealth.
"Master, I feel that there is something wrong with the person who came back to the town. "The housekeeper reported quickly. He had already walked a long way from the fields to Shuiquan Town.
"What's wrong?" Chen Laocai asked.
"I don't think it's good either. I feel that there are more people looking for work and idlers in our town than in previous years. They are younger and carry more weapons." The housekeeper continued.
Chen Laocai frowned: "What weapons?"
"I don't think it's good either. If they all carry sickles to cut wheat, I won't say anything.
But many people are carrying broken bags and backpacks. Who knows what's in them?
But I don't dare to look and search. What if a gun is found from the things they carry? Wouldn't we have to fight immediately?
We don't know where they come from. It's not good if we attract enemies for no reason. "The housekeeper continued to explain.
The one who can be the housekeeper for Chen Laocai is not an ordinary person, and his brain is definitely enough.
If this were in normal times, they would just lock the gate of their own manor and not go out or come in.
But now is the grain harvest season, so the whole town and even their manor have to be open, so there is no guarantee of safety.
"You are right, it is definitely not okay for us to search people." Chen Laocai affirmed the housekeeper's approach, but he pondered for a while, and then he said, "I also feel that these two days seem to be uneasy, but we still have to harvest grain.
In this way, isn't Lao Wu responsible for harvesting grain?
You take another 20 people with tools out, assign them to Lao Wu, and tell them to hurry up and pull the wheat back.
You then go around the town and strengthen the staff at the gate. No one is allowed to come in unless it is a grain truck!
After the grain truck comes in, quickly lock the gate. At worst, we can continue driving when the truck comes back! "
Chen Laocai is not young anymore. He was able to keep his territory among various forces. That must be his unique way.
With the master's order, the housekeeper hurried to gather people and rush to the gate of the manor.
But just as he led people out of the gate, someone outside the gate shouted: "Hey, the housekeeper is coming out! |
Then some people squeezed forward, and it was a huge crowd. They kept shouting, "Housekeeper, please give us some more work. I have run out of food!" "Housekeeper, are you still short of people?"
It was hard to tell how many people there were in the chaos. Anyway, they all wanted to find work.
"What work? No one is needed today!" His housekeeper shouted casually.
This year is different from previous years. Nothing can be more important than the safety of the master.
But after hearing what he said, those who were originally gathered at the entrance of the manor to do temporary work, people started to talk about it.
This was the case in previous years, but this year there were many people who came to do short-term work. Of course, it was because the Japanese devils came and cut off the livelihoods of many people. They all wanted to earn some food and drink here with Chen Laocai and go back to live a good life.
Just one sentence from the butler made those people who were full of hope become disappointed. How could they not talk about it and ask for mercy?
At this time, someone in the family cried "Aiya". The butler turned his head and saw that several people who were facing him were directly knocked away. One person was knocked towards him. If it wasn't for a farmhand with a gun who blocked it with a rifle in time, the guy would have hit him directly.
The butler was about to get angry, but a voice behind the people who were knocked away said loudly: "The butler is me, I am stubborn! Can't I do it?"
The butler looked at the sound and really saw the stubborn bull at this time.
The housekeeper had an impression of Zhan Niu, because Zhan Niu was in good health, 1.8 meters tall, strong and powerful, and never complained about work. Although he was a big eater, he was really good at work.
This situation is like the second brother entering Gao Laozhuang. He can eat a lot of steamed buns, but he also does a lot of work, like a mountain, so Zhan Niu is indeed a "cow" who can eat and work!
Originally, the housekeeper had taken a fancy to Zhan Niu in the past few years and asked Zhan Niu to work in the manor in the future, but Zhan Niu couldn't leave his mother at home and didn't come.
"Stubborn, then you go into the yard first!" Since they were acquaintances. The housekeeper gave him a break. The most important thing in China is human relations. In fact, it is the same everywhere.
"Okay!" Jiang Niu responded happily, and then said, "Housekeeper, I will bring you a helper who is more capable than me!"
The housekeeper frowned. He had given Jiang Niu a break, but he didn't expect that Jiang Niu would bring another person.
But when he looked up at Jiang Niu to express his dissatisfaction, his eyes lit up. He saw that the man next to Jiang Niu was half a head taller than Jiang Niu and a circle thicker!
Looking at the man's honest face, the clothes on his body were a little small, so that the two knots on the lapel could not be fastened, but he looked stronger. At first glance, he was an honest man.
No wonder the people in front were pushed aside. No one could stop the stubborn bull, not to mention that the guy next to the stubborn bull was as strong as a black iron tower!
"Okay, take him in too!" The butler nodded.
Don't think that the butler just told Chen Laocai that the situation today was a bit wrong, but after all, he is the manager of the manor, so he can't say that he won't collect grain because it's unsafe. Everyone likes people who work, and if they can work like a bull, they will be more popular!
"And me, I'm her wife." But behind the tall and strong man, a little girl squeezed in, her face was like a little cat, and her belly was bulging! She was obviously pregnant!
"Yes, butler, please pity them, my brother is definitely a good worker, and he doesn't need to be paid if he can give him food!
If you let my brother in, what will his wife do alone outside?" The stubborn bull pleaded.
"So many things!" the housekeeper said impatiently.
He glanced at the young man next to the stubborn cow again. In the end, he still felt that the young man was definitely a good worker, so he waved his hand as a tacit consent, and walked out with his people.
"Thank you, housekeeper!" The stubborn cow hurriedly thanked him, and then took the man and woman into the farm.
It was obvious that the housekeeper agreed to let the stubborn cow bring people in, and the farmhands guarding the gate would naturally not stop them.
But as soon as they entered, the double-opened doors were pushed and closed again with a "bang", but all the other people who came to find a livelihood were blocked out.
"If he can do it, why can't we?" Some people were not convinced.
"He has a pregnant wife!" Someone next to him started to make a fuss.
"Fuck, I'll get someone pregnant later!" The man said unreasonably, and the crowd laughed at that time, but it directly suppressed the buzzing discussion.
The three people who entered the manor at this time naturally ignored the discussions outside.
On the contrary, the young wife with a big belly took advantage of the farmhand's inattention to glance at the tall man next to her proudly.
Just because the young wife was Bian Xiaolong, and the one who looked like a black iron tower was Da Laoben!
And Da Laoben really noticed Bian Xiaolong's eyes, and he intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Bian Xiaolong's bulging belly. Bian Xiaolong quickly retracted his gaze and wholeheartedly treated her as a "pregnant woman".
