The Possession of My Beloved (Hidden Charm) - Chapter 149

    When the children were relieved, Miantang walked into the barracks.

    When they entered the military camp, Miantang saw from a distance Cui Xingzhou, bare-armed, standing on a wooden frame, directing a group of soldiers to build the camp.

    Since the local people could not be recruited, the children could only do it themselves, and even Cui Xingzhou took off his shirt and worked together.

    Mian Tang was quite satisfied to find that among the group of shirtless men, her husband was the most slender, sturdy and physical.

    Looking at this, it took a little time, and Miantang regretted that she hadn’t hugged that strong waist for a long time…

    At this moment, the coveted young handsome man looked towards her.

    She covered the poisonous sunlight with one hand and waved to Cui Xingzhou.

    Seeing her, Cui Xingzhou pushed the shelf with his left hand, jumped up, and fell gently to the ground. When he jumped up, Miantang could even see a few strong muscle masses formed when his abdomen contracted, so he swallowed again.

    When he came to the front, Cui Xingzhou first looked at the pot in Miantang’s hand and asked, “Those children gave you the pot back?”

    Miantang nodded and asked him, “Why do you care so much about this pot?”

    Cui Xingzhou took her to a shady place and said: “These children are not very old, their thoughts and actions are mainly influenced by their fathers and brothers, and from them we can see their fathers and brothers as people Your copper basin is very delicate, not to mention children, even adults want to take it for themselves when they see it. You did not say that they need to be returned, these children can return the basin, which shows that although the local folk customs are aggressive and xenophobic, they are not Also honest and kind.”

    Mian Tang smiled: “You have been working with Mr. Li Guangcai for a long time, and you are devious when you see people.”

      If a soldier with gastrointestinal disease catches the cold again, we won’t have to wait for the Japanese to attack, and we’ll be sick first.”

    Miantang was also a little anxious, saying: “So I can only find local experts, I think their houses are very simple, even if there are no roof tiles, the thatched roof is also a thermal barrier. Water, that is, the way they build and weave roofs is different from other places, and they can’t be taught at a time… Doesn’t it work to hire those villagers with money?”

    Cui Xingzhou said: “The previous troops who supported the army also said to hire local people, but after they let the villagers work in vain, they were not paid a cent. It is said that those villagers were beaten, so they were sent out to recruit people. None of the soldiers were able to bring them back.”

    Miantang also understood Cui Xingzhou’s intention at this time, and said with a smile: “Why don’t you hire some children to do something simple?”

    Cui Xingzhou patted her head: “You are smart! Just letting some children come, probably won’t do anything, you have to be tired and prepare more snacks…”

    Mian Tang took the opportunity to grab the long-coveted hardcover waist, patted it and said, “I haven’t returned to the house for a long time? I don’t know whether this waist will be used or not, as long as you work hard to pay enough wages, Everything else is good to say…”

    Cui Xingzhou looked at the sugar cake hanging in his arms and felt as if he was being molested by a female mountain bandit. But the sticky and greasy piece of cake is really tempting. Thinking of the way she was bullied by herself with tears in her eyes, her waist was really about to move.

    It’s a pity that this is a barracks. Although they stand in the shelter of the shade, they do whatever they want.

    After a while, the children wiped their mouths and returned the water bottle. Miantang took the opportunity to ask them if they wanted to help build the house. Those children were also short-tempered and short-handed. In addition, they liked this fairy sister very much. After a brief discussion, they agreed, and climbed up the roof like monkeys.

      . Several soldiers had not finished the paving in half a day, and a few children had finished paving in a while.

    The so-called poor children are in charge of their homes early, and now Miantang sees these children quite a bit.

    When they finished building a room and jumped off the roof one after another, Miantang handed the wages that had been prepared to them one by one and said, “You can’t be asked to work in vain, this is today The wages. Tomorrow you will find some people to help your sister with the work, and the wages will be paid daily.” Several children have never seen so much money, and they are very surprised when they hold it in their hands, and one child puts the money in his mouth. , biting hard to see if it was true or false.

    Miantang was amused by them, and took out a bag of sugar to share with them, so they went home soon.

    That night, Cui Xingzhou went back to the mansion.

    After all, the female mountain bandit expresses filial piety. If he does not go back, he will be too ignorant and easily lose the favor of the king of the mountain.

    The beams of the house have been replaced, and the roof tiles are also sent by Master Su.

    Perhaps because of the fact that the troops from Zhenzhou have been on the move for a few days, but they have never disturbed the surrounding people, let alone the doves occupying magpie nests and occupying his Master Su’s house, Master Su stopped. They were a bit snarky, and from time to time they were sent things like tiles and wood window screens.

    When Cui Xingzhou entered his house, the house was almost repaired. The walls are plastered with lime, the window screens are glowing turquoise, and there is a vase at the head of the bed, which is filled with unknown local flowers of coquettish colors, which is very summery. Although the decoration of the house is different from the previous palace. But it was a hundred times stronger than in the military camp.

    Although the chubby legs are shaking all the time, the doll is giggling triumphantly at Daddy as if he has done something amazing.

    Cui Xingzhou picked up his son, threw it in midair and caught it, making Xiao Yier giggled.

    Miantang was combing her hair, and when she saw their father and son playing, he also smiled and said: “Don’t throw it away! If you get addicted and you leave, he makes a fuss for people to throw it away. There are old wounds, but I can’t get rid of his little fleshy lump.”

    Cui Xingzhou kissed his son’s tender tofu face and said, “I hear you, your father is not at home, but don’t make trouble with your mother!”

    Xiao Yi’er was stubbornly pricked by the stubble on her father’s face, and babbled and tugged at the hair on her father’s chin with her small hands. of.

    Miantang saw straight smiles and asked someone to fetch water to get a shaving knife so that she could clean up Cui Xingzhou’s face.

    Some time ago, Cui Xingzhou had the idea of ​​growing a beard. After all, the men in the court were still beautiful with a beautiful beard.

    But Miantang, who likes little white faces, didn’t tell him to stay.

    Cui Xingzhou said unhappily: “I’m not an actor, how can there be a reason to have a clean face at the age of 30?”

    Miantang thinks that those actors are pretty good-looking, so she doesn’t want to eat a mouthful of hair when kissing! So the princess said bluntly: “You have a beard, and you are somewhat related to King Sui. When you sleep in the same bed, you will feel that you have changed people…”

    It was natural to ask King Huaiyang to press her to spank, but it also made Cui Xingzhou stop thinking about growing a beard.

    That sturdy waist rod, not to mention how ecstatic!

      Why are you so excited?”

    Cui Xingzhou pinched her nose, not allowing her to talk nonsense, but the weather has indeed been sultry and sultry for many days.

    According to Mr. Su, this is a sign that a heavy rain is coming.

    If the barracks is not repaired well, his disciples will be soaked in the rain…

    The next day, before dawn, when Cui Xingzhou returned to the barracks, he saw a group of children standing in front of the camp. In addition to the children from yesterday, there were several higher The strong young man was waiting eagerly in front of the door. When he saw Cui Xingzhou, he surrounded him, saying that he wanted to help build a few thatched huts.

    Cui Xingzhou brought them into the barracks and found an officer to arrange them. After a while, they started to work. These older children will have more and work more decently.

    They built the frame, beat the beating, mowed the grass, and a few younger children climbed up to lay the grass, and repaired a thatched hut with little effort.

    In this way, they built three thatched cottages in one day, and the wages they received were naturally several times more than yesterday. It’s time to bring more people here tomorrow, so that the barracks must reserve their work for tomorrow.

    In the early morning of the next day, the front of the barracks was full of people, not only young men, but also more middle-aged and elderly people. It is estimated that people from the entire village came.

    The officer in charge of repairing the house led them in, talked about the wages and assigned the work, and they went to work in full swing.

    In one day, a small grass hut was erected in the camp. Master Su was accompanying Cui Xingzhou to patrol the camp. When he saw that most of the local people had come, he couldn’t help but glanced at the handsome beside him and asked curiously, “How did the lord invite these wicked people?”

    The King of Huaiyang answered somewhat inaccurately: “This king’s beloved concubine is very good at boiling herbal tea, perhaps the fragrance attracts them.”

    Master Su rolled his eyes and took a sip from the jug, thinking that this nonsense prince might have drank too much.

    For several days, all the thatched cottages were finally built before the rainstorm hit. Although the thatched hut is simple, the soldiers finally no longer have to sleep on the ground, and the mosquitoes in the house are much less outside. After lighting the lavender, they will no longer be bitten and wake up from time to time.

    On the second day after the cottage was repaired, it started to rain heavily. The rain poured down from the sky like a Tianhe overturned, and hit the thatched hut. On the ground, only the sound of rain could be heard between heaven and earth, and even the smoke from the kitchen cooking in the kitchen was hit by the rain and could not rise. Up, sparse and shapeless.

    The soldiers listened to the sound of rain hitting the eaves in the thatched hut, and they were glad that the hut was built in time, otherwise many people would get sick after such a heavy rain.
