rebirth [rebirth]

On July [-]th of the first year of Da Chen Shuntian, it rained in most of the prefectures and counties of Hongbei County.

The pattering summer rain lasted all night, and it still didn't clear up in the morning.

At the forest farm in the northern suburbs of Hongdu, young and strong long-term workers are adding thatch and raincloth to the tile-roofed houses where the timber is placed.If the unvarnished red camphor wood is stained with rainwater, it is very prone to mold spots, the pattern is completely destroyed, and the wood is equivalent to waste.

Foreman Zhang of Hongxing Forest Farm held the dry tobacco in one hand, and rang the bell vigorously with a hammer in the other: "Be quick, everyone. If there is a problem with the warehouse who is in charge, this month's money will not be paid."

His voice was very rough and extremely unpleasant, and the long-term workers ignored him and hurriedly did their work.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Foreman Zhang took a deep puff of his cigarette and said, "Today you work lightly, and you can only eat a steamed bun for lunch."

As soon as he finished speaking, the young man who was guarding the warehouse door in the north suddenly raised his head and glanced at him.

Foreman Zhang was shocked and almost dropped the dry tobacco in his hand.

"What are you looking at, go to work quickly." He cursed and yelled, but went back to the room.

After sitting on the stool, he secretly touched his beating heart: "This stupid man is really scary."

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and soon became a thin curtain of green smoke, making it difficult for people to see the world in front of them clearly.

Foreman Zhang leisurely drank hot tea and looked out the window at the workers who were working hard in the rain.

Heck, no matter how imposing you are, aren't you just a long-term forestry worker who has signed a contract?What I say is what I say, what can you do to me?

The more Foreman Zhang thought about it, the happier he became, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.

However, before he could express his satisfaction, there was a hasty knock on the door: "Boss Zhang, there is a distinguished guest, the boss asked you to go."

Foreman Zhang's face suddenly changed.

It's unlucky, when it's raining, some people come to this ghost place, and they talk about expensive guests, it must not be that expensive.

Foreman Zhang is very reluctant. He has some fat on his body, and walking is the most strenuous in this weather.From the back warehouse to the front, you have to walk through a series of dirt roads. Not to mention the wet shoes, even the clothes and pants will suffer. It is a toss.

"This thief is stingy, why don't you bury the loess?" Foreman Zhang cursed the boss, but still opened the door with a gloomy face.

A young apprentice outside the door was rubbing his hands and looking at him flatteringly: "Boss, I will help you hold the umbrella, hold the umbrella."

Foreman Zhang sneered, and looked him up and down: "Quickly pull it down, with your small body, the rain still pours on Grandpa."

Since he had to go if he didn’t want to go, Foreman Zhang simply stopped struggling, put on his rain boots and poncho, and walked forward slowly.

The little apprentice followed behind him, looked at his huge body with disgust, frowned and silently scolded him: "Fat pig."

It took the two of them twice as long as usual to reach the front yard. Before entering the yard, they saw a group of people standing at the gate of the yard from a distance.

Foreman Zhang panicked a little now, and hurried forward two steps, his thick calf swung a string of muddy water, splashing the little apprentice all over.

The little apprentice secretly rolled his eyes, Kuhaha followed him into the yard.

It was raining heavily, and I couldn't see clearly from a distance. When I walked in, I found that all the tall and young men were standing at the gate of the courtyard.

In such a heavy rain, these men just stood there motionless, not even giving him a look.

Foreman Zhang didn't dare to watch, and ran directly into the courtyard.

When they got to the entrance of the lobby, they looked up and saw four tall men standing under the eaves with knives hanging from their waists. One of them was dressed differently from the others, apparently he was a captain.

Seeing him rushing in, the captain frowned and shouted, "Stop, who's here?"

Foreman Zhang had no choice but to stand in the rain, nodding and bowing his head, saying, "Oh, this strong man, the young one is the foreman of the back warehouse. The boss just sent someone to greet the young one."

As he spoke, he pulled the little apprentice over and pushed him forward.

The captain took a closer look and found that it was indeed a child who was sent out to find someone. He nodded expressionlessly, turned around and knocked on the door: "Master, the foreman is here."

A special voice sounded inside: "Come in."

Then the captain looked back at him, frowned and said: "Come here and take off the rain cape, clean it before going in."

Foreman Zhang didn't dare to fart, so he hurried over to clean himself upside down, and pushed the door into the lobby.

Because it was raining outside, the main room had to be lit with oil lamps, so as not to look so dim.

In the shadow of a lamp, Foreman Zhang vaguely saw two handsome young men sitting at the head of the table, while their boss sat at the bottom.

Foreman Zhang glanced at him and didn't dare to look. He quickly took two steps forward and bowed to salute.

The boss coughed lightly, and said: "These two young masters are coming to redeem people, and you will take good care of them to go to the back warehouse later, and you will hook up whoever they want to take away, do you understand?"

The foreman was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't dare to refute, so he could only say, "No, my little one takes orders."

The young man standing behind the two sons smiled and said, "Boss Zhang, we have more people to redeem. This is a small gesture, please don't take offense."

Boss Zhang hurriedly took it, and said in a low voice: "How could it be, gentlemen, please feel free."

The young man smiled again: "Boss Zhang is a real person. In the future, we will cooperate more in business."

They settled the matter with a few words here, but foreman Zhang here was so frightened that he didn't dare to lift his head, but he scolded the boss in his heart because he was blind to money, and he was a money stringer who wanted money but didn't care about his life.

His distant cousin is good at everything, but he is only interested in money, and he is willing to do anything if he is given more money, let alone redeem a few long-term workers in the forest farm.

He took a sneak peek just now, and the other party offered five ingots of silver, which was generous.

When the group of people came out of the front yard and came to the back warehouse, Foreman Zhang's attitude was even more respectful. Seeing the two of them standing under the eaves and taking off their rain capes, he hurriedly made hot tea in the house, hoping to earn some rewards.

When the two sons entered the room, the young steward also followed. Foreman Zhang had already arranged three chairs.

Seeing him so attentively nodding his head, the slightly taller young master at the head finally said, "I wonder if we can meet the long-term workers one by one?"

Their forest farm can only be regarded as a remote small factory, with less than half of the people in the big factory, and there are barely three or four hundred workers in each of them.Of the 400 people, half are in the back warehouse, and half are in the forest farm on the mountain, so the manpower is not enough.

Carpentry is physical work, and most people can't do it. The northern suburbs are full of forest farms, and long-term workers are in short supply.

But the boss opened his mouth, and he can take as many people as he wants. Foreman Zhang gritted his teeth and asked with a smile, "My lord, they are working outside, and they are really dirty. Can you see the roster?"

Another young man who looked more gentle took up the conversation this time: "Oh, the foreman has a heart. It's just that these old friends have changed their names. We can only look for people based on their appearance. Please take care."

Everyone has said that, what else can Foreman Zhang say?I had no choice but to go out and kick the little apprentice, and reprimanded him: "Didn't you hear the order from the distinguished guest? Call someone to go quickly."

The little apprentice was kicked by him, half of his leg was black, so he had to rush into the rain aggrieved.

But he couldn't be bullied in vain, he searched warehouses one by one, and when he met, he said to the foreman of the warehouse: "There are distinguished guests who want to redeem someone, you all go to the foreman's room to show them, hurry up, hurry up. "

The people in the first few warehouses ran to the foreman after hearing this, and went straight into the house regardless of how dirty the muddy water was under their feet.

Seeing the success of the trick, the little apprentice secretly covered his mouth and smiled, but he heard a lazy voice say: "Damn boy, what are you laughing at?"

The little apprentice looked up and saw that it was Wang Lao Er, the foreman who was guarding the North Cang. He couldn't help frowning and went over to mutter about the matter, and finally said: "Hurry up, take your men there."

Wang Laoer nodded indifferently, and leaned against the door without any intention of passing.

In the warehouse behind him, the workers were also working hard, and seemed uninterested in what he said.

The little apprentice got anxious and couldn't help jumping up: "You man! If the boss says, he will go, and there must be no one left."

Wang Er Er let out a "tsk", then turned around and shouted, "Did you hear that? Why don't you all get out of here."

Before he finished speaking, the sixty or seventy workers quickly stood at the door, standing neatly row by row, looking very dignified.

The little apprentice yelled, and then led them to the foreman's room: "Old Wang, you really know how to train your subordinates, I admire you!"

After hearing this, Wang Laoer was not as proud as usual, but fell silent.

Maybe the weather is bad, the little apprentice thought, wiped off the rain on his face, and hurried to keep up with Wang Lao Er's pace.

When they were writing ink at the door of the warehouse, the people from the first two warehouses had almost left.

I only heard a special voice inside asking: "Is there no one?"

Foreman Zhang stammered and replied: "There are dozens more, wait for the younger ones to urge them."

He went out while talking, and when he raised his eyes and saw this group of people, he couldn't help staring, and stretched out his hand to hit the little apprentice: "The movements are so slow, don't you want to mess around?"

He hadn't even landed a punch yet, but a fiery palm grabbed his arm.

Mr. Zhang sweated instantly due to the headache, and looked up to see the foreman of Beicang again.

He has seen how hard he fights, and he rarely provokes him. Today, he grabbed him so hard, his wrist hurts as if broken, and he can't say anything.

The little apprentice was still winking, went over and tugged at the hem of his clothes: "Old Wang, forget it."

Only then did Wang Laoer let go of his hand, but he still stared at Foreman Zhang viciously.

Foreman Zhang shivered involuntarily, but he didn't want to lose face, so he had to bluff: "What are you looking at, dawdling! Hurry up and let me in."

Wang Lao Er went straight into the house without saying a word.

Candles have been lit in the room, and there is some faint brilliance.

Two young men in brocade clothes were sitting on the chairs, with handsome faces and tall and straight figures, it was obvious that they were from different backgrounds.

The one on the left seems very familiar, very similar to the main family in his memory.

Wang Lao Er had countless thoughts in his mind, and suddenly remembered that the master once said: "If you say it is fate, although His Highness and I are not siblings, we are separated by a generation, but we look the most similar in the family."

Thinking of this, Wang Laoer's whole body trembled, he couldn't help but straighten his body, and gave a military salute as in the past.

The person on the left stared at him, and suddenly smiled slightly: "It seems that our trip was not in vain."

The one on the right is even more gentle, with a smile in his voice: "Then congratulations."

"Happy together."
