Yipin Farmer

Chapter 71 Cask Theory

Heaven and earth, let the next thunder strike me to death! ! !

Ting Shuang wailed in her heart.

Baoqi got out of bed and poured a bowl of honey water for him to drink, then said brightly and sadly: "Don't worry, I won't say anything, and I won't hold you responsible."

Ting Shuang, who had just woken up from a hangover, still had a headache and felt dizzy. He was very grateful to hear this, and didn't bother to think about what happened.

"But, please listen to my advice." Baoqi began to make a request.

"Say what you say." Ting Shuang nodded like a chicken eating rice.

Baoqi sighed secretly, with a serious face on her handsome face, she said: "I advise you not to drink and socialize with people you don't like. With your nature, you don't like and are good at doing these things, especially when you are drinking. On the table, you still have to call the police, and when you came back last night, you..."

Bao Qi wanted to say, "The smell of makeup and powder on your body is so bad." Then she changed to: "You smell like alcohol, and even the pigs were smoked away."

Ting Shuang also defended herself: "I don't like or am good at socializing, but I have to go. You have to know that I want to work hard in the county, and I will inevitably deal with all kinds of people. I also need to solicit clients to make friends. Socializing is indispensable. , Talking about business can’t avoid going to the wine table, and you can’t avoid having a girl to accompany the wine at the wine table.”

Seeing Baoqi's face getting more and more ugly, Ting Shuang swallowed and changed her words: "Do you know what is the barrel theory?"

"What is a barrel?"

"How much water a wooden bucket can hold depends on the shortest board. If the board is short, the bucket cannot hold water."

"A bucket that can't hold water can still hold rice." Baoqi said with a sullen face.

If the cooper does not hoop the bucket properly and there is a leak, then the bucket cannot hold water, but only rice, so that is how the term "rice bucket" comes from.

What Ting Shuang heard from him was that if this bucket can't be used as a water bucket, it can be used as a rice bucket, and the hair is blown up: "Understand the spirit."

"Okay, understand the spirit." Bao Qi didn't want to quarrel with him, "You mean you want to make up for this short, right?"

"Yeah, to develop a career, you can't avoid making friends with people, socializing and drinking. I'm not good at this. This is my shortcoming, but if I don't do this, it will affect my career, so this shortcoming must be made up for." Ting Shuang was very happy. The other party can already understand.

Although Baoqi understood what he meant, she didn't agree with his approach, saying: "It's all right if you want to make up for your shortcomings, but there's no need to make up for it yourself. It's the same to ask others to make up for it. This way you can make use of your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. Wouldn't it be good?"

"Oh?" Ting Shuang began to think about this question seriously, well, it makes sense, why didn't I think of it before.

"You always grasp things by yourself. In fact, this is not good. You may have accidentally missed many important things. Although it is important to make up for shortcomings, it is more important to develop strengths. Your strength is to grasp the overall situation.

You borrow money to open up wasteland, plant rice in lowlands, buy garbage to turn gold, open a restaurant to revive the family business, and prepare to open a pharmacy to cope with the coming war. These decisions are all very good.Execution to the details does not necessarily mean that you do it yourself. "

Bao Qi gave him advice: "Instead of forcing yourself to do something you don't like, it's better to let others make up for this shortcoming."

"Who? You?"

"No." Bao Qi shook her head and proposed a candidate, "Let your second child do it. You are not good at socializing, but he is good at socializing. He is lively and eloquent. He is very familiar with the tricks played by young masters. He can make up for this." short."

Ting Shuang seriously considers his suggestion. Seriously, she greets and socializes with friends, calls girls at the wine table, endures fat, fragrance, powder, wine and meat, and listens to those dudes chatting and laughing. She has to put on a smile and accompany her Eating and playing with others and watching others smoke opium, I really don't like it and I am not good at it.Ting Hui is very good at eating, drinking, having fun, sex and makeup, so it's better to let him do it.But……

Baoqi knew what he was worried about, and said: "Your second child is a little impetuous and self-righteous, but he is no longer the old son who doesn't understand shit. All kinds of torture, he is also much more sensible, and he will not make the same mistakes as before. I was beaten up last time. I think he is much more honest and mature. He manages the house well when you are not around. Don’t you He always arranges everything and gives him a chance to hone his skills. His temperament is not good and he has been farming in the countryside."

Ting Shuang thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Baoqi was very happy to see that he had accepted her opinion, and said, "It's not that I'm in charge of you, it's really...how should I put it?"

An indescribable emotion was vague and gradually became clear, but I didn't know whether to express it, let alone how to express it.In the end, I only said the most ignorant thoughts: "You look stupid, but you are not discouraged and do not retreat in the face of difficulties. You are optimistic and confident, kind and simple. You don't forget to share the benefits you get with others, and you don't mind getting along with others. Suffer a bit. You have brains and tolerance, which are your most valuable qualities, so I am afraid."

Ting Shuang looked at him tenderly and asked, "What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid that you will change. Now that you have an official title and an industry, you will become more and more prosperous in the future, and many people will flatter you. I am afraid that these precious qualities of yours will gradually disappear, and I am even more afraid that you are used to luxury and luxury. I forgot what my last name is..." Baoqi lowered her voice, and said after a while, "Maybe you will say: It's none of your business what I become? But I don't mind, I really mind. I'm afraid you will become like Chen Antai. A virtue."

"Why do you compare me with that bastard surnamed Chen? You know that I hate him the most." Ting Shuang was about to get angry and pinch him when she suddenly remembered what happened last night. Two gorgeous girls waited on the left and right, and when he was drunk, he seemed, as if he touched her plump buttocks...

Ting Shuang was sweating coldly on his back. Last night he hugged each other in a luxurious and rich manner. Tomorrow maybe he will go directly to a brothel to socialize, and later maybe he will take care of young and frivolous women, and later...

Maybe, he really became the same as Chen Antai.

Well, what Mao Zedong said, sugar-coated bullets are the most terrifying, difficulties and dangers stimulate people's potential and fighting spirit, but comfort and happiness can easily make people degenerate.

However, fortunately, I have you.

Ting Shuang held Baoqi's hands, which could not even clean the table. They could encourage him when he was in trouble, protect him when he was in danger, and pull him back when he was walking towards the crossroads.

He said he minded, very much minded what kind of person he would become.

"Don't be afraid, I won't change. No matter how high my official rank is or how much money I earn in the future, I will always be the farmer in Sanhua Village." Ting Shuang made a simple oath.

Baoqi believed it, smiled again, and held his hand tightly: "Then let's go back to the village today."

"Yeah." Ting Shuang agreed, got up, washed her face, ate something, drank honey water, and rode a mule and Baoqi on the way back to the village. The cool mountain breeze rushed towards her face, and her mind became clearer. Ting Shuang recalled what happened last night. ,Huh?It doesn't seem to be doing anything.

As soon as Ting Shuang came home, Huanhuan first rushed over to give him a bear hug, and squatted on his head empty-handedly, Xixi and Chengcheng also rushed over and pulled his trousers one by one, and Xiaolan flew over with her small arms supported.Ting Shuang picked her up and threw her into the air, then caught her again, oh, it still feels good to be home.

Others were working in the fields. Ting Shuang checked the house first. The yard was very tidy, the chicken coops, duck nests, and pigpens were all dry and clean. There was no backlog of feces or dirty water. The peonies are full of vitality, the lotus pods in the pond are full of fruit, the composted pond is full of manure, the willows planted in the deer fence outside the courtyard are quite large, and a dozen deer are grazing quietly. Organized.

Ting Shuang was very satisfied. When he was not at home, the second child did manage the housework in an orderly manner.When Ting Hui came back, he directly gave him the task, that is, the property in the city was entrusted to him to manage, and he was also entrusted to do soliciting customers for entertainment.

Ting Hui couldn't believe his ears, he was not happy but afraid, afraid that it might not work well.

Ting Shuang knew that he lacked self-confidence, and encouraged him: "Don't be afraid, I've already taken care of everything, you just need to manage the store well and receive the guests well."

"I'm not good at socializing with people. You are extroverted, good at socializing and having fun, so I leave it to you to do it. I believe you can do it well." Ting Shuang explained to him the precautions: "But you also have to pay attention to entertaining guests." Take care of yourself, don't touch gambling except eating and drinking, my mother hated it when she was alive, if you still have filial piety, remember her words, drinking and drinking will inevitably be called a girl, although it is a customary rule, but I don't want you to mess around."

"I see." Ting Hui nodded sharply, "Brother said that doing things without feelings is like a beast."

Ting Shuang nodded with satisfaction, and continued to educate: "Gambling and calling games can be handled flexibly, except for opium. .”

"understood."

"You can deal with small matters at your discretion, and you have to tell me about big things. You must never do illegal things, and you can't do cheating and abducting."

"I know, I have always remembered the lesson from last time."

"Just remember it." After Ting Shuang explained, she took out a piece of paper and gave it to him.

Ting Hui took the piece of paper and found that it was full of people's names, remembering the names, surnames, ages, birthdays, and birthdays of the heads, young masters, wives, and other prominent families in the county. tick or something.

"What is this?"

"This is the information on the big households in the county that Mr. Shi gave me." Ting Shuang pointed to the names above and said, "The ones ticked are relatives and friends of the Shi family. If we need help, we can find these people. You must treat them well. Take care of them." These people are the ones I will use in my future development, if they come to eat, they must not neglect, eat and play with them, even if they are called girls, you can say hello."

"Don't worry, brother, I'm good at making friends with people." Ting Hui understood, rolled his eyes and said, "The Mid-Autumn Festival will be in two days. I will send the best fruits and pastries to these people. I'm not familiar with it, so it's not surprising that there are many polite people."

"Good boy, I have yours." Ting Shuang was delighted that he found the way so quickly.

Then the personnel distribution was adjusted again. Ting Hui replaced Ting Shuang and went to guard the restaurant in the city. Ting Shuang returned to the village to take care of the family.

Ting Hui glared at him angrily: "When did I bully you? It was just a stumbling block, and most of the stumbling blocks were provoked by you. You deserve a beating."

"Look." Bao Qi complained to Ting Shuang, "He was very aggressive towards me when you were around, and he might do something to me when you were not around."

Ting Hui was so angry that he raised his fist to threaten, Ting Shuang stopped them, and decided that Bao Qi would go back to the village with him, so that Chen Guang would also pester him to go back to work in the village.Ting Shuang had no choice but to agree to let the monkey tricker follow him. He has been around for many years and has seen a lot, so he can help deal with emergencies.

After everything was arranged properly, there was a soft call from outside the door: "Is Big Brother there?"

It turned out to be Miss Yumei from Wei Shuangquan's family in the village. When she learned that Tingshuang had returned to the village, she came to visit with a basket of freshly harvested red dates.Baoqi's face turned from sunny to cloudy again, and she became dizzy. She solved Miss Lin in the city and forgot that there was Miss Mei in the village.
