Chapter 128: One lacks virtue, the other lacks heart (Part 2 added)
The next day, Bai Nuo went to the stable and put the hay away first, then began to clean the stable. People passing by would occasionally take a look inside and see that the fair-skinned and tender young educated youth from the city did not dislike the horse manure at all. Not only that, he also cleaned the stable very quickly.
Based on this alone, the people in the breeding team began to look at the young educated youth from the big city with admiration.
Although these jobs are normal for country people, as the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison.
This alone is enough to make these people in the countryside look at Bai Nuo differently.
"Good morning, Uncle Zhao. Why are you here alone?"
When Bai Nuo was riding Heifeng past the old cowshed, he happened to see Uncle Zhao squatting in front of a dilapidated thatched hut and greeted him curiously.
"Girl, you're just right here." Uncle Zhao looked up and saw that it was Bai Nuo. He was immediately surprised and said, "I heard that you are good at carpentry? Come on, help me see if you can fix this. I've been fiddling with it for a long time but can't figure it out. Your uncle Zhang Quan is not in the team today, so I can't find anyone who can do it here."
"Okay!" Bai Nuo jumped off Heifeng's back, walked quickly to Uncle Zhao and squatted down.
"Is this... a valley windmill?" Bai Nuo then picked up a piece of wood and looked at it curiously.
Uncle Zhao looked at the little girl's curious expression and said lovingly, "Yes, this is the all-wooden windmill. I dragged it out of the old cowshed. It's a bit old, and I was thinking about replacing a few rotten boards and keeping it for use in our breeding team."
Bai Nuo nodded in understanding. It was the first time she saw this kind of old farm tool which was too old for her. However, there were a lot of miscellaneous books in her space. If she went back and looked through them, she should be able to find an introduction to this thing. As long as she knew the internal principle, she would have no problem making a new one, let alone repairing it.
"Uncle, take this thing back to the breeding team. I'll go back this afternoon to study it. I should be able to fix it."
"Okay, I'll take it back to the breeding team right away." After hearing this, Uncle Zhao stood up with relief and prepared to pull it back with the wooden ox cart.
"By the way, how come you can do carpentry work at such a young age? This craft can be learned by anyone."
Bai Nuo smiled and used the same trick he used to fool the captain.
"I learned it from my grandfather. He's an old carpenter with pretty good skills, but I'm not very talented, so the things I make are just good enough for my own use."
"Oh, this isn't good enough. It's great that it was made. However, I can see that your grandfather is also a sensible person. The carpenters in other brigades in our commune treat their skills as heirlooms and only pass them on to their sons and grandsons. No one would let their granddaughters learn it."
"Uh..." Bai Nuo blinked. How could she give such a good reputation to her grandfather who was nowhere to be found?
"That's not the case. My grandfather wanted me to learn this craft so that I could go out and earn money early, and then come back to buy wine for his son, my father. Otherwise, he wouldn't have passed it on to me."
Uncle Zhao’s expression froze for a moment: This is embarrassing!
Yu Guosheng secretly glanced at the old man next to him, holding back his laughter and thinking: Damn, this is embarrassing!
Zhu Dadao hid secretly in the old cowshed, clinging to the cracks in the wood, gritting his teeth, his eyes red.
Yu Guosheng pursed his lips and patted his old friend's shoulder: "Don't be like this, Niuniu is still young and doesn't speak well..."
"She calls me grandpa, just calls me grandpa obediently." Zhu Dadao gritted his teeth to prevent himself from uttering "wow". He looked at his old friend with red eyes, his face full of emotion.
Yu Guosheng: “…”
You didn't listen at all to what that little girl said when she later slandered you as her grandfather!
"You...wake up!" Yu Guosheng no longer wanted to comfort the old deaf man in front of him. He just wanted to slap him to wake him up.
"Niuniu just said that her grandfather forced her to learn a craft to make money in order to buy alcohol for her father."
"What does that have to do with me, Zhu Dadao!" Old Man Zhu's face changed. He looked at Yu Guosheng seriously and said confidently, "I won't do that to my little girl. I will only let her father, uncles, and brothers make money for her to spend."
Yu Guosheng was so angry that he laughed, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said. However, he couldn't stand Zhu Dadao's smug look, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Wake up, my Niuniu said her grandfather is a carpenter."
"That's me. I'm a carpenter. So what? What's your opinion?" Zhu Dadao still spoke with confidence.
Yu Guosheng rolled his eyes fiercely, his face full of contempt: "You are a shitty carpenter, you can't even nail the most basic small stool."
"Who says I am not? I say I am a carpenter. From now on, no one will dare to say I am a general." Mr. Zhu raised his proud face and spoke in a domineering tone.
Then, Mr. Zhu also thought of the real situation, frowned slightly, and said anxiously, "No... I'll find someone to teach me the carpentry skills when I get back, so that my good girl won't be hit in the face. When my good girl comes home, I want my granddaughter to use the furniture I made for her."
Yu Guosheng twitched his lips: What a great wish you have!
"Hey, you say..." Old Master Zhu gently tugged at the corner of his old friend's clothes and muttered softly, "What do you think if I put myself down? I'll be sent here, and then I can spend every day with my good boy."
"Are you crazy? Did my sister not hit you hard enough, or is it that your sister-in-law can no longer wield a gun? You better keep quiet. The Zhu family still depends on you to take charge, and my eldest sister and brother-in-law still have to rely on you to watch over them secretly."
Zhu Dadao also knew that the current situation in Beijing was unclear. There were countless people secretly watching their Zhu family. In addition, there were several families with close relations with their Zhu family, so it could be said that one move could affect the entire body.
but……
Zhu Dadao looked at his precious granddaughter who was not far away. Because they lived close to each other in Beijing, although they could not recognize each other, they could still see each other from time to time.
But ever since the child was sent to Shanghai, some news would come in from time to time, and the longing for him grew deeper and deeper.
The first time he heard the messenger say that a child was being bullied, he almost couldn't help but run to Shanghai and shoot that family. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and sent Wu Liu to trap those people from the old Ma family in sacks.
It can be said that in the entire Ma family, except for the deceased old man, there is no one who has not been secretly beaten by Wu Liu.
The Ma family has little savings, half of which is due to Bai Nuo smashing pots and bowls from time to time, and the other half is due to the medical expenses incurred in those two years.
But he always knew that the old woman at home was more worried about her granddaughter than he was, and she would always cry secretly in the middle of the night with her granddaughter's childhood photos. So he kept the fact that the child was bullied a secret from her and did not dare to get angry in front of the old woman.
As a result, he failed to hide it once, and his wife almost divorced him, saying that if she had a fight with him, she would have an excuse to leave home and live in Shanghai in retirement.
From then on, he didn't dare mention it in front of his wife, for fear that she would really run away one day. The key point was that he couldn't run away with her!
It’s so frustrating, really frustrating!
He could not help but feel uneasy when he saw her before, but now his baby Guaiguai is not far away. Although he trusts Yu Guosheng, his current identity is sensitive and he cannot take care of Guaiguai everywhere.
When Mr. Zhu thought of this, a light bulb suddenly turned on his head and he looked at Yu Guosheng excitedly.
Yu Guosheng's heart was pounding!
What is this old guy up to again!
Yu Guosheng suddenly understood who that little girl inherited her bad temper from!
"Old Yu, what do you think about me keeping my second brother here? He's a bachelor with no family and no children. I can just issue a statement to sever ties with him. Ertie is young and strong, so a few years in the countryside won't be a problem. You can just take care of him secretly. You have to take care of those kids anyway, so my second brother won't make a difference, right?"
"Please forgive your unlucky brother. What sin did he commit to deserve such a wicked brother like you? That fool just listens to you and sister-in-law. You are born without virtue, and Zhu Ertie is born without a mind." Yu Guosheng couldn't help but feel pity for the only stupid guy in the Zhu family.
How did I end up with something like this?
"My second brother can do it. He doesn't want to go to work every day anyway and just wants to stay at home and play. Why not come here to play? I will smooth things over for him. He will have enough food and drink, isn't that good?" Although Zhu Dadao felt a little guilty, he believed that his second brother was willing.
"Get out of here! It's already annoying enough for me to take care of those old losers. Don't throw idiots at me! I don't want them!
Besides, your arrangement is quite good, but will my sister-in-law agree? Ertie was raised by her after all, and she will definitely kill you if she gets back at you."
Yu Guosheng felt that he couldn't let this old psychopath stay any longer, so he pulled him out and said, "Alright, alright, let's go, let's go. We have to go back. You have to go back to the Liao Province Military Region immediately. We can't delay any longer."
"I won't leave. I haven't seen enough of my dear. I came here with great difficulty. I won't leave. I won't leave. Let me go. Let me go."
Zhu Dadao tried hard to pull Yu Guosheng's hand, but due to Yu Guosheng's scholarly physique, this rough man who had been a soldier all his life didn't dare to use any force. If he accidentally hurt Yu Guosheng, the Wei family would use a big knife to cut him.
And...his wife won't help him at all, but will clap and cheer him on.
"How old are you, old man? Why are you still so lazy? Hurry up and leave. Xiao Wu, come and take your old man back. Hurry up!"
Wu Liu, who was not far away, looked over with an expressionless face. Just as he took a step forward, he met the threatening gaze of his old leader. He had no choice but to retract his foot with grievance.
"Go quickly!"
"I do not go!"
"What the hell are you doing? If you dare to roll on the ground, I will definitely sue you."
"At worst, I'll get beaten when I get back. I'll send my eldest son there and let your sister beat him. Then she won't beat me. I'm not afraid."
Bai Nuo vaguely heard some movement and frowned slightly. She seemed to... hear Old Man Yu's voice!
When Bai Nuo walked around the cowshed, he saw a tall man standing at the foot of a mountain not far away, looking like he was about to rush over here.
She could "smell" the blood from a long distance away.
When Bai Nuo saw that the man was looking in the direction of Old Yu, his eyes became fierce and he rushed over in an instant.
