There is An Apocalyptic Man In the Village

Carbon kiln

No matter in ancient times or in modern times, when asking for someone to do something, there is always a meeting ceremony. It is good to talk about things. Wu Qingyuan understands this truth.

But the size of the zhangjias and the Chen family were surprised to see the gift he handed them. The gift of pork cakes and a pot of oil was too heavy, because the default meeting gift of the villagers was a bag of cakes and fruits at most.

Just now the whole family was still talking about him. Now it's said that Cao Cao came and brought so many good things. I don't know why he came.

But when everyone entered the yard, she couldn't stand still. Aunt Zhang felt the sweat on her head and didn't pick up anything. She quickly pushed out her sister and asked several daughters-in-law to take out the watermelon in the well to greet the guests.

Watermelon is not rare here, but it is not cheap. It is decent and generous to call the guests.

"This brother Wu is. What can I do for you?"

Aunt Zhang didn't pick up the gift, and Chen didn't dare to pick it up. Such a heavy gift is not easy to pick up. When she asked someone to sit down, she asked carefully.

The owner didn't dare to pick up the things. Wu Qingyuan didn't plug them. He nodded and put them aside. Then he looked at Lin Laogen. Lin Laogen had to help him with the purchase of the carbon kiln. He came forward to discuss the price.

"Aunt Chen, don't worry. It's a good thing. Brother Wu came to buy your three carbon kilns today..."

Lin Laogen still knew how to look. He sat down and took a piece of watermelon. He began to nibble at it and put forward Wu Qingyuan's idea of buying a carbon kiln.

"What? Buy my carbon kiln?!"

As soon as Lin Laogen finished speaking, Aunt Chen stared straight and exclaimed, and the zhangjias also looked over.

This carbon kiln is a scar on the heart of the Chen family. I think the men of the Chen family worked in the carbon kiln outside the staff's home. After decades of hard work, they learned the ability to burn carbon and went home.

I wanted to make my family rich by this skill, but who knows that I didn't succeed in getting rich in the end, but I lost all my money. My house and land were gone. The family had to go to the town to help people work, wash clothes and make money.

It was not until this year that we managed to save enough money and prepared to go back to the village to buy a house and live on land. The family did not dare to think of the dream of burning carbon to make a fortune, so the three carbon kilns that spent all their money at home were naturally empty.

In fact, the Chen family didn't want to sell the carbon kilns, but someone should buy them. After all, not everyone is as enthusiastic as her men and dares to gamble on all their wealth. More importantly, there are few villages that can burn carbon. No one wants to give away her carbon kilns.

Now Wu Qingyuan wants to buy her carbon kiln. It's like pie falling from the sky!

"Wu, Mr. Wu, are you sure you really want to buy my carbon kiln? It's useless to hold the kiln, even if you can burn carbon..."

Chen swallowed his mouth and even changed his name. Surprise is surprise, but things still need to be made clear. The silver that the three carbon kilns really want to buy is not a small amount. If you don't make it clear, it will be troublesome in the future.

"Yes, brother Wu, you have to think about it."

Lin Laogen couldn't help persuading him again. After all, it's such a big sum of money.

"I've considered the matter. Aunt Chen, don't worry. I'll bear the loss or profit of the carbon kiln when it comes to me. We can write this clearly in the contract, but we don't know the price. Can you decide now, aunt?"

Wu Qingyuan's attitude is very clear. There are risks in doing business. You can't be afraid of losses. Now that you've decided, you should stick to doing it well.

Chen swallowed her mouth and didn't answer immediately. She was still a little unbelievable. Someone was really willing to buy her waste carbon kiln.

The zhangjias didn't interrupt. It's none of their family's business, but if it's really done, it will be a great happy event for the Chen family. They are looking forward to it.

"Aunt Chen, don't worry about the character of brother Wu. If your family wants to, say a price, so that we can continue to discuss."

Wu Qingyuan's attitude has been so clear that Lin Laogen completely gave up persuasion and continued to help speak.

"Well... If you really want to buy it, my family must be willing to sell it. Brother Laogen, you know the situation of my family, but this carbon kiln is my life / root. If you want to sell it, he has to decide. I have to talk to my head."

Of course, Chen Shi would like to do such a good thing. Anyway, the three waste carbon kilns are still there. If they can be exchanged for silver, her family will recover half of the losses in those years, but she is a woman. Such a big thing has to be decided by her man.

"Yes, I'll wait for my aunt's news. By the way, in addition to buying a carbon kiln, I also want to invite Uncle Chen to help me. My aunt also told Uncle Chen that Uncle Chen is an old hand in burning carbon. I'll give him half a month's salary. Please think about it together with Uncle Chen“

Wu Qingyuan understood this, nodded and agreed. He continued to put forward his other requirements and set up a carbon kiln. He could not do it alone. With the help of a familiar veteran, it would be much smoother.

"OK, I'll go to the town tomorrow to find my head of the family and tell him!"

Chen, who was still a little hesitant, nodded his head and agreed. He was very excited.

It makes her happier to let her men help her than to sell her waste carbon kiln. Moreover, Wu Qingyuan is too generous and gives half a month's salary. I think her men only paid half a month when they were young and strong. Now they can find so many silver jobs when they are old. They are close to home in the village. They don't promise to be stupid!

"Sister, what are you waiting for? Tomorrow, go now!"

Aunt Zhang has more brains than Chen. Naturally, the sooner she decides this kind of thing, the better, so as not to have too many dreams at night. She suggests it immediately.

"Yes, go now! Young master Wu, wait at my sister's house for a while. I'll go to the town and call my man back."

Chen was already in a hurry by the huge surprise. He got up and was ready to go out. Just now the sun is not big in the morning. He is not afraid of heatstroke on his way.

Aunt Zhang is much calmer than Chen. She continues to call her man to lead the donkey cart. Her family is one of several families with cattle or donkeys in the village. It's much faster to drive the donkey cart.

After Chen and Zhang hurried out, she quickly ordered her daughter-in-law to cut a watermelon out and continued to greet Wu Qingyuan with a smile.

"Brother Wu, please eat two more watermelons. My sister will be back soon..."

"OK."

In fact, Wu Qingyuan is also very worried. Of course, the faster the money is, the better. Chen's going to the town to find her man is just what he wants.

Calmly pick up the watermelon and eat while waiting. Let alone the incomplete evolution of watermelon here. It is not as sweet as modern watermelon, but there is more water, which is also very thirst quenching and summer heat relieving.

……

Although there is a donkey cart to accelerate to the town, it takes an hour or two to go back and forth. We can't just sit in the yard.

Aunt Zhang is a person who will come. She cut the watermelon and asked her daughter-in-law to take out the peanuts and walnuts at home. Then she tried to find a topic to chat with Wu Qingyuan and help stabilize him. They want to talk about the carbon kiln more than Wu Qingyuan.

Of course, in addition to helping the Chen family, Aunt Zhang's active greeting is naturally selfish.

Previously, they were still discussing their son's marriage with brother Zhou in the yard. Now the family's own cousin is in front of them. When will they stay?

And Zhang Dazhu sat beside her and stared at her. Her eyes were almost green. Mother and son were connected. Aunt Zhang couldn't know what her son was thinking.

"Hey, brother Wu, you don't know. Brother Zhou grew up with us. He hasn't suffered less in recent years. You said that she was such a good child. How could Mrs. Zhou be so patient? Fortunately, now that she has your cousin, it's an eye opener. Finally, a reasonable elder is in charge of the child's marriage..."

After a casual chat with Wu Qingyuan, she began to lead her words to brother Zhou to test Wu Qingyuan's tone.

It's not that the village can't fall in love freely, but in the end, the marriage still has to be decided by the elders. Brother Zhou has no parents, only cousin Wu Qingyuan. The elder brother is like a father. Whether the marriage can be completed depends on his opinion. Zhang doesn't want to marry brother Zhou, but he's afraid that Wu Qingyuan is like mother Zhou.

"Yes, brother Zhou has finally come through the hardships. In the past, Mrs. Zhou was really ungrateful. How can she sell such a good brother to the old man as a child? There are so many good guys in the village, like Aunt Zhang's big pillar, who are honest and can work and know how to love people. Good kids in the village..."

Lin Laogen is always not good at talking while eating watermelon, but he rarely speaks smoothly, because Lin amo took him to the house and taught him for a long time before he went out this morning.

"Brother Lao gen, you flatter me. My big pillar is not as good as you said. This child is a silly cow. However, it's true that my big pillar is honest and can work. I don't boast that I'm a mother. It must hurt my daughter-in-law when my big pillar marries her daughter-in-law in the future..."

Aunt Zhang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and smiled happily. She followed the words and carefully observed Wu Qingyuan's expression.

"Cousin Wu, I love my daughter-in-law. All the money I earn in the future will be managed by my daughter-in-law!"

Zhang Dazhu is not stupid, but he is relatively simple. He smiles and nods heavily.

Suddenly, all the zhangjias in the yard helped their forehead for a while. Aunt Zhang pinched him and told him not to interrupt. Lin Laogen laughed and praised "good boy".

Everyone's mind is too obvious. If Wu Qingyuan can't hear what it expresses, he will live two lives in vain.

Looking around, the crowd stared at his carefully expected eyes. He thought about it before he put down his watermelon and said his position.

"Aunt Zhang is modest. I agree with Uncle Lin very much. Dazhu is very good. By the way, my carbon kiln will start soon. I need to hire some people. I think Dazhu is very strong. If my aunt wants, I want to ask Dazhu to help“

Wu Qingyuan nodded, but did not directly state brother Zhou's marriage.

It's not that he disagrees. From his human perspective, he can naturally see that Zhang Dazhu is a good man. He will not stop him from falling in love with brother Zhou. But when Zhang Jia looks at him, he also has to look at his parents. There's no need to hurry to agree like upside down.

Zhang Jia is just trying to test his tone and show his attitude slightly. If Zhang's parents understand reason, they will know to find a matchmaker. Only in this way can they comply with the rules of the village.

"OK, OK, no problem. I'll ask Da Zhu to resign Liu's part-time job tomorrow."

Aunt Zhang is a sensible person. She can get through it at a glance, so she rushes at Wu Qingyuan's relaxed attitude, not to mention asking her son to help, whatever you want!

Meet father Zhao by chance

When the stone in her heart was put down, her son's marriage finally had an eyebrow. Aunt Zhang looked at Wu Qingyuan and almost laughed.

Wu Qingyuan has been used to controlling his emotions and expressions. He is a lot calm. He keeps smiling from beginning to end. His attitude is not enthusiastic or indifferent. He chats with everyone.

After talking for a while, she ate some watermelons and peanuts. The time soon passed. At noon, Aunt Zhang left Wu Qingyuan and Lin Laogen for dinner. Chen finally called her man back from the town.

The son and daughter-in-law of the Chen family also came back together. The whole family has arrived. It can be seen how important the carbon kiln is to the Chen family. If Wu Qingyuan really bought the carbon kiln, their family can live a good life again and don't have to work hard for several years.

At the dinner table in Zhangjia, we discussed while eating.

The Chen family was surprised and eager to sell the carbon kiln. Wu Qingyuan gave the silver readily. The matter of the carbon kiln was soon discussed. The final transaction price of the three carbon kilns was 45 Liang.

This price has been very cost-effective. There is a great difference in the technical content between building a kiln and building a house. At the beginning, the Chen family also paid a lot of money for repairing, including the fields of material foundation and inviting workers. It cost nearly twenty liang of silver to repair a carbon kiln.

Later, the carbon kilns were used several times. The Chen family failed in business because of insufficient capital and experience. The three carbon kilns are still eight floors new. The carbon kilns, together with the foundation empty land occupied by them, were sold to him for only 45 Liang, which is absolutely a fair price.

More importantly, he also invited the Chen man, an old hand in burning carbon, and his son to help. This is what Wu Qingyuan is most satisfied with.

After we had lunch, we went to the village head's house. The village head witnessed and helped write the contract, and then gave money to complete the transaction.

This is the village's practice. It's only when the village head witnesses such a good dozens of big businesses that he can rest assured. Moreover, the Chen family can't read. Wu Qingyuan, an alien who has just come here, is also illiterate. He can only ask the village head who is "knowledgeable" for help.

After the transaction, everyone came out of the village head's house with a smile, and then separated.

On the way, Wu Qingyuan was in a good mood, and Lin Laogen was also very happy. They could talk. Wu Qingyuan continued to strike while the iron was hot and asked Lin Laogen to help the carbon kiln.

After living in the Lin family for half a month, he knows Lin Laogen's character and doesn't dislike that he is lame. Working will be affected. He knows that although Lin Laogen is disabled, he has a hard spirit in his bones. He won't be lazy and works hard. To tell the truth, he won't lose money if he asks him for help. His helpers earn little. It's all those profiteers who deliberately bully him.

In fact, he didn't really expect the other party to work for him when he asked Lin Laogen. He came to the Lin family in Liushu village and helped him a lot. He wanted to thank the Lin family and asked Lin Laogen to help. It's the best choice to give his family a stable income. It's better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish.

Finally, after discussing with Lin Laogen, the manpower in the later stage of the carbon kiln was also solved.

Wu Qingyuan tentatively appointed Chen's father and son, Zhang Dazhu, Lin Laogen and Lin's second bedroom man, plus six people. It's enough to work hard to take care of three carbon kilns. It's really not enough. Just hire a few short-time workers temporarily. Others will wait until the business is on track.

They were on their way home, but they didn't want to meet someone on the way. Lin Laogen's old face, which was still smiling just now, suddenly collapsed.

"Ah, Lin Laogen? My father-in-law! Where have you been for a walk? Have you had enough to eat and drink? Tut tut Tut, drink for nothing..."

A hoarse greeting sounded, and then ran towards them. An old man with a moustache ran over.

In his fifties, he was thin, stooped, and had a smooth face.

Wu Qingyuan looked at it. He looked familiar but didn't know him. Lin Laogen's face, which had collapsed, became darker after hearing the other party's address.

"Who's your in laws? If you scream again, I won't be polite!"

Lin Laogen's face was black, his eyes were staring, and his airway. The Zhao family man originally ordered Zhao Dalong, but everyone called Zhao Dahong.

Lin Laogen is honest and has a good temper. He doesn't have a black face easily, but he gets angry every time he meets the little old man in front of him, because the little old man is no one else. It is the father Zhao Haisheng Wu Qingyuan met in the town that day.

The Zhao family is not very annoying in the village, but it is definitely not very likable, because the old couple of the Zhao family are so powerful. Moreover, the mother-in-law of the Zhao family has a broken mouth and always likes to chew the root of her tongue behind her back. The sensible and reasonable villagers in the village don't like to make deep friends with his family.

Lin Laogen hates the Zhao family even more. The reason is very simple, because the Zhao family wants to marry his amo.

Although Lin amo is not easy to find his mother-in-law because of his ugliness, the Lin family is in a good situation. Lin amo is good at everything except his appearance. If he really wants to marry, it's not that he can't marry, but the environment of his mother-in-law may be bad.

Lin Laogen is very clear about his children. If he is poor, he can be poor. As long as he is kind to his children, but sadly, those who go to the Lin family to propose marriage after Lin amo and hairpin expect to marry Lin amo and go home to work. Lin Laogen naturally hates it.

The Zhao family actually went to his family to talk about marriage. With the sour and powerful character of the Zhao family, Lin Laogen naturally knows what to pay attention to.

Even if the Zhao family's son works as a waiter in Qianji grain store in the town, he will become a shopkeeper after a few years. The Zhao family will certainly become rich, but Lin Laogen resolutely refuses to marry Lin amo to the Zhao family. He is very accurate at his age. Anyway, he just thinks the Zhao family is unreliable!

However, the Zhao family and his wife were very thick skinned. When they had nothing to do, they asked their son to run to the Lin family to be courteous. When they met Lin Laogen, they were shameless and gathered together to call one by one. They were so angry that Lin Laogen couldn't.

Just like at the moment, the man of the Zhao family doesn't care about Lin Laogen's face at all. He can speak up for himself.

"Don't be angry, my father-in-law. We'll get married sooner or later. I say you're the same. We Zhao family don't dislike your amor. You're ugly. You're stubborn. Our Haisheng is more promising and will soon be promoted to shopkeeper. Who's son in the village can match the salary of 22 Liang silver a month? Our family is willing to marry your amor. It's time for you to worship God in the temple!"

Zhao Da Chong tut tut said, just like Lin amo, who wants it? Besides, his son is still so promising. Who else can Lin amo marry if he doesn't go to their house?

Wu Qingyuan's ears moved when he heard Zhao Haisheng's name, and suddenly came up with the memory of the last time he was at the grocery store in the town.

Lin Laogen was very angry. Seeing Zhao Dazhong laughing with confidence and pride, he picked up the thick branches on the ground and threw them at Zhao Dazhong.

"Go away! Zhao Dazhong, go away! If you yell at me again and ruin the reputation of our family, I'll kill you! I tell you, our family will soon become beautiful. See, it's brother Wu. He's good at medicine. He can cure our family's face. At that time, many young masters and good people will propose to marry our family. Hum!"

Unconvinced, Lin Laogen pulled Wu Qingyuan to the front and argued loudly.

"Just him? He doesn't even have two beards. He can cure people? Besides, your family's ah Mo's face is a birthmark. I haven't heard that birthmarks can be cured. Lin Laogen, you're really stupid. You want to be crazy about your golden turtle son-in-law. If our family doesn't marry your family, ah Mo, I'm afraid no one will want it all his life..."

Zhao Dazhuang looked at Wu Qingyuan, but he didn't believe it. He continued to laugh.

"Zhao Da Chong, you bastard, let you say, I'll kill you!"

Lin Laogen couldn't hear anyone talking about his baby. He suddenly exploded and limped towards Zhao Dazhong.

Although he is a lame man, he has great strength in his hands. Zhao Dazhong has a powerful mouth, but he can't beat him. When he rushed up, he quickly dodged.

However, he was still stubborn and continued to laugh at Lin Laogen while hiding. He said provocative words such as "come on, hit me" and bullied Lin Laogen. It was inconvenient to catch up with him.

Really, annoying, annoying!

Staring at the two little old men who chased the chickens and dogs in front, Wu Qingyuan said secretly in his heart, then walked quickly, stretched out his hand, grabbed Zhao Da Chong's collar, mentioned it, and threw it in front of Lin Laogen.

He raised his foot and stepped on Zhao Da Chong's chest to stop the man. He looked calm and said, "Uncle Lin, fight. He asked you to move your hand. We're reasonable to go to the government. I'll pay the silver for it if it's really hurt."

"OK!"

Lin Laogen, who was catching up with him, was overjoyed and impolite. He limped up and shook his fist. He was an old man who beat Zhao Dazong and beat him. Dare you say that his family's ah Mo can't marry out and kill him!

Zhao Da Chong was not Lin Laogen's opponent. At the moment, Wu Qingyuan stepped on him and couldn't fight back. He could only make a solid fist next to Lin Laogen. Ouch.

When Lin Laogen's anger subsided, Zhao Dazhong had a black and blue face and couldn't cry out. Looking at the serious injury, it was actually a skin injury. Otherwise, Lin Laogen was not a fool and lost himself.

"Brother Wu, let's go."

Feeling the sweat on his head, Lin Laogen asked Wu Qingyuan to leave.

Wu Qingyuan nodded, took back his heel and left with him.

When he was far away, he asked Lin Laogen, "uncle, who was that man just now? It looks annoying..."

"It's just annoying. The Zhao family in the village is dishonest. They want to marry our ah Mo to work as a cow for his family. His son is good, but no matter how capable he is, he can be a grain store shopkeeper. I don't agree with such parents, hum!"

"The grain store in the town. Is his son in the money store“

"Yes, brother Wu, how do you know?"

"Oh, last time I went to town, I saw a young man who looked like old man Zhao just now. I guessed as soon as you said it. But Uncle Lin, why did you say his son was going to marry amo? Didn't his son get married? I saw that his son and his daughter-in-law should have a good relationship that day. They went to the grocery store together and bought half money Rouge powder and snacks. How did they do that Give it to their son to marry a daughter-in-law... "

"What? Did you see Zhao Haisheng go shopping with the girl to buy Rouge snacks? He also spent half of the money?!"

Lin Laogen, who was walking, suddenly stopped and turned around.

"Well, it's in the grocery store called Yangji grocery. I just saw that they bought so much silver for dessert. I have a deep memory. What's the matter, uncle Lin? What's the problem?"

Wu Qingyuan looked puzzled and smiled in his heart. He has a really good memory. He can remember the places he has been to once.

"What's the problem? It's a big problem! The Zhao family's son didn't get married! He bought Rouge powder for other girls and came to my family to be courteous in front of ah mo. hum, I also said that Haisheng is different from his parents. It turns out that this family has a temperament!"

Lin Laogen believed in Wu Qingyuan and didn't doubt it at all. His face turned red with anger.

"Don't be angry, uncle Lin, you may have made a mistake, but don't worry, uncle Lin, I will help ah Mo cure his face. There are many good people who want to marry ah Mo at that time. Even if it can't be cured, I think ah Mo is very good-looking, can cook and housekeeper..."

"Yes, my amo is good except for his appearance!"

The angry Lin Laogen was comforted in an instant. His old face showed a gratifying smile and patted Wu Qingyuan on the shoulder. The more he saw, the more pleasant he was. He was well-informed, but he was different.

"That's uncle Lin. your genes are good."

"Ah? What is a gene?"

"It's blood relationship. Uncle Lin must have been mighty and handsome when you were young, so ah Mo and Tianbao are handsome. Especially ah Mo, with a good face, must be the best looking brother in the village“

Wu Qingyuan continued to flatter shamelessly.

"Brother Wu, you have vision..."
