Chapter 31 Chapter 91 Timely Rain Old Willow

The work of digging rivers and repairing canals is lacklustre. When I get up early in the morning and have breakfast, I just urge a group of strong men to dig the river channel, transplant embankment willows, add a meal at noon, and dig the river after lunch. It is very boring. But with Luo Donger, an eye-catching little lady, by her side, the boring life became interesting. The soil here is fertile and soft, and it is not difficult to dig. The excavation of the river channel is progressing very quickly. The officials in charge of water conservancy in the state government have made a tour at this time, and they have praised Zhen Baozheng. After biting my teeth on the embankment for a long time, after careful consideration over and over again, I finally decided to bleed some blood and allocate some to these coolies from the wages I withheld, and then announced loudly: You guys have worked hard for me. Work, Master Zhen will not treat everyone badly, each person will be paid an extra two cents per day!

I don't know if it's because of the power of money, or because Luo Dong'er, an eye-catching little girl, is beside me, anyway, the big guy is more motivated.Zhen Baozheng scolded secretly from the side: These bastards, if you add two more money, they will be so beautiful that their noses are bubbling.what a bunch of bumpkins In Ding Hao's view, as a wise sage said, a man and a woman can work together without getting tired.With Luo Donger, a charming and charming little girl by his side, he obviously felt less tired from work and more motivated, presumably the big guys felt the same way.

Everyone can see Ding Hao's kindness to Luo Donger.Ding Hao is very kind to everyone, he doesn’t deduct wages, doesn’t play tricks on meals, and when the work is completed every day, he considerately invites everyone to rest and eat. He is polite to everyone and never puts on airs. It's much closer, and the big guy sympathizes with Luo Dong'er's experience, hates Dong Li's domineering, and is happy to see their affairs come to fruition. Out of Dong Li's sight range, without having to go home every day to be bullied by her, Luo Dong'er's originally lively nature grew vigorously like the vegetation in spring.Every time Ding Hao took good care of her, the villagers greeted him with kind jokes, although it made her blush for a long time, but the embarrassment became less and less, and every time she was teased, she felt sweet The feeling is getting stronger and stronger.

Luo Donger is a little widow, and she is a very handsome little widow. Usually when she goes out, she will be teased by the men in the village, but now that Manager Ding is here, everyone still makes fun of her, but the compliments and blessings are obvious. There were more teasing and teasing than in the past. For Luo Donger, this feeling of respect and love had never been felt since she married into Dingjiazhuang.And this change came entirely from Ding Hao. What is it that females adore males, isn't it this sense of security?Dong'er's heart is sinking day by day without knowing it, so she has more and more days to count the stars.

Counting and counting, her two big eyes like black grapes that have just been washed are getting bigger and bigger, her chin is getting sharper and sharper, and the belt around her waist seems to be getting wider and wider. Lovesickness makes people thin. Although she and Ding Hao are close at hand and can be seen day and night, under the years of accumulated power, Dong Lishi is still like an insurmountable mountain in her heart. Don't dare to have any taboo fantasies. The more she felt that Ding Hao was in love, the more she felt that the distance between them was so far away that they would never be able to get closer.So tossing and turning, and the belt getting wider, is inevitable.

However, the rare warmth and the feeling of being cared for by others is so hard to let go, she would rather dig this river down to the end of time, then she can enjoy the pain and happiness forever on this embankment Feel As for Ding Hao, although he had enough patience, he didn't have enough time to let Luo Dong'er's sensitive and cowardly heart open to him completely.Although in Luo Donger's view, every time he sees his cute and hateful smiling face, he always feels that this enemy is the disaster star in his life, and he was born to torture himself.Ding Hao didn't feel the same way, but he still couldn't find a wedge to let the relationship between each other advance by leaps and bounds.The two of them could only stand next to each other calmly.

At this time, Liu Shiyi, Chief Steward Liu, suddenly rushed over in a luxurious carriage. Before noon that day, Liu Shishi came in a carriage, and the driver was actually a pig.Liu Shishi was wearing a silk robe made of black satin, followed by two servants. These two people were brothers. The older brother was called Wang Yu, and the younger was called Wang Yi. , So after joining the Ding Mansion as a domestic servant, he gradually became Liu Shiyi's right-hand man.The two respectfully followed behind Liu Shishi. Liu Shishi strolled along the embankment with his hands behind his back, pointing and commenting.

Ding Hao was directing the construction in front with his trouser legs rolled up.Now the river course is passing through a small river. Originally, the place connecting the existing river course already has the foundation of a natural river course, so it is faster to dig, and only needs to be widened and deep.However, this small river already has water. Although the source is blocked and diverted to other places, the silt in the river channel is sticky and thick. When you shovel it down, the soil sticks. It is not as easy to dig as ordinary soil, and the progress in a day is not as good. In the past, Zhen Baozheng had just received a reward from his job, and seeing this situation, he was very anxious, and he and Ding Hao supervised the work all day long.

Hearing that Liu Shishi was coming, Ding Hao hurriedly threw down his shovel and rushed to the back.From a distance, he saw Liu Shishi standing on the embankment, pointing at the river and saying something, and two river workers beside him were talking to him.Seeing Ding Hao approaching, the two river workers turned around and left. These river workers were all finalized by Liu Shishi. Ding Hao knew that there must be his eyes and ears among them, but he didn't want to hide anything from Liu Shishi, and there was no need to hide anything, so after seeing this scene, Ding Hao just smiled and didn't take it seriously at all, but walked over calmly.

Guanshi Liu, Ding Hao stepped forward to salute, Liu Shishi was still standing with his hands behind his back, his gaze was slowly withdrawn from Luo Donger who was busy at the stove downhill, and he smiled reservedly: Xiao Ding, the progress is good, the river is dug deep and deep. The river is wide, and the river bank is neatly built. Look, even the willow trees have been planted in this tidied river section, eh!Compared with me in the past, it is no less inferior, it is really a formidable young man, haha Ding Hao was slightly startled, why did this guy suddenly become like this? He looked at Liu Shishi suspiciously, and smiled softly: "It's okay, isn't this all the result of Guanshi Liu's advice to my younger brother."By the way, why is Liu Guanshi free to come over today?Is the outer courtyard very free recently?

Liu Shiyi smiled, reserved and silent, and Wang Yu behind him immediately raised his chin, and said triumphantly: Master Liu no longer cares about the affairs of the outer courtyard, and Yang Ye, boss Yang, has been promoted to be the steward of the outer courtyard. Master Liu is now Master Jiu's deputy, taking care of some errands in the inner courtyard, as well as inspectors for the five families to release the treasury. Ding Hao was startled, isn't this his successor?The deputy steward of the inner court, although there is an adverb in his name, has a much higher scope of authority than the steward of the outer court. He is now the deputy steward of the inner court, and he is the second most important person in the entire Ding family except for Yan Jiu. No wonder the smile is so unnatural now, that donkey face doesn't know whether to wrinkle or elongate. Ding Hao smiled nonchalantly: Oh?It turns out that Liu Guanshi has been promoted, congratulations, if there are no restaurants and teahouses on this embankment, I would have to let you treat me today. Liu Shiyi put on a show. He wanted to see Ding Hao's disappointed expression, but he didn't want him to be flattered or humiliated. They are all people who work for the boss.Xiao Ding, I am in charge of internal and external errands now. The embankment is related to the harvest of the field. The master is very concerned. He sent me today to see the progress of the construction and see if it is done properly. I can report to the master when I go back. I learned that, would you take me around for a while? That's natural, Guanshi Liu, please ask Ding Hao to have a pleasant smile and not to be annoyed.Liu Shiyi raised his head and walked forward without hesitation. His two attendants followed closely behind, squeezing Ding Hao to the back. Ding Hao shook his head and smiled, it was better this way, he was too lazy to be courteous to this successful villain.Sao Zhuer, who was chasing after him, couldn't bear to watch this scene anymore, he blushed and said to Ding Hao: This old bastard is no longer what he looked like when you let him go.Look at his complacent look, what's the big deal, his job is not something you have done before.I didn't see you showing off like this back then.We are about to leave, why do you pretend to be a grandson in front of him, you should talk to him. Ding Hao smiled and said: What's wrong with pretending to be a grandson?Which grandpa didn't come from his grandchildren?Pig, remember, when you should pretend to be a grandson, you have to pretend to be a grandson.He is obviously a grandson, but he wants to pretend to be a grandpa. When he pets you, he will tease you for fun. If he doesn’t like you, he will step you down. You want to be a grandpa, but you want to be a grandson. This life will last forever. not up.We're not fighting cocks, if it's not a matter of competition, why bother with him, just fool him away and it's over. As soon as Ding Hao finished speaking, he heard Zhen Bao in front of him shouting in the voice of a male duck: "Lao Liu is not leaving today?That's a good thing, I'll ask someone to prepare, tonight, let's have a good meal to celebrate your promotion to the steward of the inner courtyard!
