idyllic tranquility

Chapter 33 4 years later

The days of getting rid of the bottom line of food and clothing and achieving a well-off life are like the days of summer vacation after the end of the exam month, passing by at a speed that makes people unprepared.

Spring goes and autumn comes, flowers bloom and fall again, unknowingly, He Ning has spent four full Spring Festivals in this world.This year, he may be 12 years old.

On the [-]th day of the Lunar New Year, just after the [-]th day, the whole village of Beili Village gradually relieved from the busyness and festivities of the Spring Festival.

He Ning was walking home alone, a little absent-minded.He just came back from Dingzhong Town, thinking about the few books he asked the bookstore to inquire about a month ago, but there is still no news, and he can't help but feel disappointed.Fortunately, he was well prepared and did not expect too much.After all, transportation and information transmission are inconvenient at this time, so it is really difficult to have good news in such a short time.

However, when I stopped by Wang Zhangmu's house today, I learned that one of his uncle's hunting dogs had given birth to several cubs, and they were worried that they would not be able to feed them.He Ning thought of the troublesome "melon thieves" in his watermelon field in summer, so he asked Wang Zhangmu to keep two for himself.

He Ning was walking on the road, but thoughts were flying in his head. He didn't pay attention for a while, and was attacked by someone.

"Hey, Ningzi, it's been fifteen, all the shops in the town have opened, can you rent out your skates, too?"

Li Dan'er, who was instigated by his mother to buy tofu, was walking on the road and met He Ning walking alone with his head down, so he stepped forward and put his arm around He Ning's neck, thinking of taking advantage of his height to hold down He Ning.

It's a pity that just after finishing a sentence, He Ning got rid of it slipperyly, and even tripped over and fell into the mud.Li Dan'er calmly patted his trouser legs and stood up. He had long been used to He Ning's beatings. Before he fell down, he still had time to think: Fortunately, he didn't buy tofu. Otherwise, he would have to take home a bowl of tofu with mud Served by the old lady's feather duster.

Even though he can't please He Ning every time, as a human being, he has the problem of being cheap.Coupled with the fact that He Ning's face has grown more and more beautiful in the past two years and his height has not grown in four years, the friends who are close to each other always want to make a fool of themselves and flirt, although the end is tragic every time.

"The road is icy, and you wear a pair of skates, are you dying, or are you dying?"

To deal with such thick-skinned people with frozen brains, He Ning often directly throws out dual skills - poisonous tongue + white eyes.

"Haha, it's really dangerous. By the way, why didn't you see your wife following you today?"

It was also He An's absence today that gave Li Dan'er the opportunity to attack He Ning.

"Why, my daughter-in-law, where do I have to report to you?"

In the past, He Ning always followed He An when he went out, and his friends in the village always made fun of him.What about your daughter-in-law, your man, your husband's nonsense, He Ning has long been indifferent, so that now he can laugh about it without caring.

"Hey hey hey, that's not necessary, it won't make you jealous." Li Dan'er knew that he would be beaten up if he said this, so he quickly flattered him: "Are you going home? I'll see you off!"

"Fuck you, you really think of me as a girl? Are you trying to find a way!" The village entrance a few steps away from He's house still said to send it off?The corners of He Ning's eyes twitched, and he kicked his butt.

To say that Li Dan'er's flattering skills are tried and tested in front of Li Xinran, why does he always get flattered ass when he arrives at He Ning's place?

After returning home, He Ning saw a tall and strong young man as soon as he entered the door. The young man was arranging two bundles of firewood with his back facing He Ning. up.Immediately, a handful of branches of equal length were bound firmly around the waist by a rough straw rope.A set of movements is like flowing water, and it is only done in two breaths.

Compared with four years ago, this figure has grown a lot taller and stronger.Seen from the back, he was wearing a dark blue cotton coat that was not too thick, and it couldn't hide the muscles on the shoulders and arms under the fabric that were ready to go.In the summer, He Ning had seen the other party's tendons exposed in the bath, which made him both envious and embarrassing as a man.

If someone is not familiar with him, he will definitely mistake this figure for an adult man of the He family, but the people in Beili Village will never admit that this is He An, the granddaughter-in-law of the He family, a mixed-race twin.

"Da Lang is back. It's so cold outside. Go back to the house quickly. I'll put some firewood on the stove to heat up the house." He An, who had been paying attention to the movement at the door, had just entered I noticed it, and I was afraid that he would be frozen, so I wanted to heat up the kang in the house.

"No need, I'm not that delicate yet. Who sent this firewood? Didn't I tell you that you are just starting to thaw, the road is not safe, and you are not allowed to rent out skates?"

Seeing He An at first reminded He Ning that he had barely grown in height in four years, and he panicked, but now he saw that the firewood was just branches, and at first glance it was for children or women to pick up firewood, and it was nothing at all. Ann cut firewood.When He Ning thought of the brats who were always coming to the house to inquire these days, he suspected that He An didn't listen to him, and he was a little angry when he accepted the firewood from the brats to change skates today.

After all, if one gets it wrong, it can cause major events related to human life.This is not He Ning's alarmist talk. Don't you see that the group of brats are really crazy, but they can only see a joke.As an adult who knows the danger, if He Ning does not strictly control the rented skates, it is tantamount to letting the children skate on the tip of the knife.

Seeing that He Ning was really angry, He An quickly threw away the firewood in his hand, and explained: "Dalang, don't be angry, you listen to me first. He Xiaotian came here this morning to discuss things with you, wondering if he could put the brand Send it on, and when you say you can send shoes later, just change them for skates. You were not at home at the time, and I couldn’t make up my mind. Unexpectedly, Li Dan’er’s younger brother, Li Ke’er, came over with firewood Please, I was soft-hearted for a moment, thinking that nothing would happen if I only issued the brand but not the shoes, so I changed it for him. Dalang, I did it wrong. I made random decisions before you came back. You punished me. Come on, don't be angry."

What happened in the morning, He An didn't intend to hide it from He Ning, He Ning breathed a sigh of relief after explaining it, as long as he didn't give him skates.

As for the grinding skills of these brats, He Ning, who has experienced it before, has to say "convince" it!They are not only annoying but also very sophisticated. After getting along for a long time, it is estimated that they have already figured out the temper of the two of them.

He An looks strong and is not easy to be bullied, but he is most likely to soften his heart, while He Ning has a delicate and easy-to-pull appearance, but he is the most consistent.Maybe, this smart ghost Li Ke'er had inquired clearly in advance, knowing that He Ning was not at home today, so he took the opportunity to pester He An.

Thinking of this, He Ning also understood: it was He An who took the blame for Li Ke'er.As for He An making a decision without his own consent, He Ning has no objection. He is not a stickler for machismo, and insists on controlling every move of the other party.In He Ning's eyes, although He An is labeled as his own daughter-in-law, as an independent body of thought, He An has the ability and right to make such decisions that do not touch his principles.

"Okay, don't take the blame for these brats in the future. If they torture you again, you can let them come to me and see if I don't give them some color."

After all, He Ning went back to the house.He An was left alone standing in the yard and chuckled: He knew that Da Lang was a sensible man and would not wrong him.But to be honest, Da Lang seems to have become more beautiful recently, even when he is angry.Bah, bah, bah, what was I thinking!No matter how good-looking it is, I can't make Da Lang unhappy in the future, in case I really get angry and ignore me...

He An thought of the days when He Ning had a cold war with him four years ago, and just thinking about it made her feel scared, and she became more determined to be a good and obedient daughter-in-law.

Ah, by the way, He Xiaotian brought his skates here today, and He An remembered what He Ning told him to overhaul, so he hurriedly tidied up the firewood at his feet. He had to wash these skates before He Ning overhauled them. Clean is good.

And the thing about renting out skates had to start four years ago.

Four years ago, He Ning asked a group of children to exchange their labor for the He family's autumn harvest for two pairs of skates to play with. But there are so many children in the village, how could two pairs of skates satisfy them.

Relying on their obsession with the new toys, this group of brats toyed He Ning for a year. In the end, He Ning was defeated and made another ten pairs and agreed to rent them to them.Obviously, He Ning is not a philanthropist and did not plan to give them free play, but he also has no idea of ​​earning money from these brats.Therefore, the old method of "working for rent" was continued, which not only helped them rationally allocate their vigorous energy, but also gave them the opportunity to play with their favorite toys.

Therefore, the children in Beili Village can "pay for their rent with their work". For collecting a bundle of firewood, a basket of pigweed, a bag of cow dung, etc., they can get a coded wooden signboard that can be exchanged for roller skates from He An. , He Ning distributed the shoes to them in the order of coding.The children in other villages have to pay the rent if they want to play. Eight cents a day is not cheap, but six or seven children can still rent for a day and play in turn.He Ning is not afraid that they will not return the rental, after all, they all belong to several nearby villages.If there is such a clever kid, the brats in Beili Village will be the first to say no.After all, there are only ten pairs, if you rent one day, I have to play one day less. If you want to play smart and dominate alone, you are asking for trouble, causing trouble for this group of brats, but I will beat you without discussion!

This incident has greatly liberated He An's labor in chores, and he has more time to be He Ning's assistant.But on the contrary, it also took up a lot of He Ning's carpentry time.

By coincidence, He Ning met He Xiaotian who was eavesdropping outside the private school when He Ning was grazing cattle, and he had a plan in his heart.When chatting with He Xiaotian, he "accidentally" revealed his ability to count with both hands. When the other party developed a strong curiosity and eagerness to learn, He Ning put forward the need to ask him to be an administrator, and promised to teach him to count. He paid him a salary, and dug this piece of manufacturable material under his banner step by step.

In this way, He Ning was promoted to the chairman of the board, and he didn't have to worry about anything other than checking the skates and setting the rules.
