Cannon Fodder [Quick Transmigration]

During dinner, Wu Bai found that Xiao's father and Xiao's mother didn't come to the dining room, and felt a little strange, so he asked the servants, "Where are father and mother?"

The servant replied: "The master accompanied his wife to the uncle's house."

Hearing this, Xiao Zimo raised his eyebrows and said, "This is a rare thing!"

"How?" Wu Bai asked curiously.

"You don't know, although my father has a big business, he is very afraid of being alone."

"Who?"

“舅舅。”萧子墨解释道，“舅舅身形高大，力气惊人,父亲年轻时想娶母亲，挨过舅舅不少揍,导致他为了躲舅舅都不爱陪母亲回舅家。”

"Haha, that's how it is." Wu Bai said with a smile.

Xiao Zimo asked the servants: "Father, did they say when they will come back?"

"Master, Master never said that." The servant replied.

Fencheng Wharf

"Have you heard about the Xiao family hiring people to build roads?" Someone asked.

"I heard that, I'm planning to go to the manager and resign from the job at hand."

"Hey, me too. I heard that the wages are fifty cents a day, and meals are included."

Outside the city, Xiao Zimo and Wu Bai brought a few stewards and were registering the names of those who came to sign up.

The crowd was bustling, but upon closer inspection, one could find that they were all lined up in a long line in an orderly manner.

Once the news that the Xiao family wanted to recruit people to build roads spread, people from many villages and towns outside the city responded one after another. They came from all directions to outside Fencheng.

Xiao Zimo and others were busy for several days before registering the people who came.

Wu Bai looked at the brochure in his hand and asked: "The manpower is enough, when do you plan to arrange for them to start work?"

"It will start tomorrow." Xiao Zimo replied.

The next day, when Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo arrived outside the city, they found that all the people had arrived, and they were waiting to listen to their arrangements.

They recruited a total of more than 400 people this time. Xiao Zimo first divided them into four teams with more than 100 people in each team, and then divided each team into ten small teams. Several stewards of the family are in charge.

Xiao Zimo took out the blueprints and said to several stewards: "Steward Wang, you are responsible for repairing this section of road with more than 100 people. Steward Li, you are responsible for this road. Steward Zhang, you are responsible for this. Steward Liu , you are in charge here."

"Yes, son." The four stewards said in unison.

"Go." Xiao Zimo waved his hand.

Then several stewards left in batches with their hands.

Only then did Xiao Zimo look at the other stewards, who were his newly recruited stewards, who were mainly in charge of the food for these common people.

After he arranged the task, he brought Wu Bai back to the city.

Back at Xiao's house, they found that Father Xiao and Mother Xiao had returned.

"Father, what happened to your face?" Xiao Zimo asked with a smile.

"It's okay, I accidentally bumped into it when I got off the carriage." Father Xiao waved his hand.

"I thought father and mother would stay at uncle's house for a while, after all, it's rare for you to go back once." Xiao Zimo said.

Mother Xiao curled her lips and replied, "I want to stay a few more days, but your father is in a hurry to come back."

Father Xiao resentfully said, "I've got business to do when I come back!"

"Zimo is taking care of the family business now, what else do you have to do?" Mother Xiao didn't believe it.

"I told Zimo a few days ago that I want to take him to the birthday banquet of the navy commander." Father Xiao explained.

"Is that so?" Mother Xiao looked at him suspiciously.

"It's true, if you don't believe me, ask Zimo if this is the case?" Father Xiao pointed to Xiao Zimo and said.

Xiao Zimo said, "That's what happened."

"Look, I didn't lie to you." Father Xiao said proudly.

"However, there is still one month until the commander's birthday." Xiao Zimo continued.

Mother Xiao suddenly got angry and said, "Xiao Yucheng! How dare you say you didn't lie to me?...Stop!"

Father Xiao quickly ran out of the hall, still saying angrily: "This brat!"

When Xiao's father and Xiao's mother left the hall, Wu Bai smiled and said, "I didn't expect father and mother to have such a side."

"Hahaha……"

In the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed, and one-third of the road from Fencheng to Yancheng has been repaired.

During this period, Xiao Zimo took Wu Bai to see the progress, and occasionally they would stay to check the food situation of the common people. Once they found that the food of the common people had dropped a lot, he immediately paid the money The steward was arrested and sent to prison.

With this lesson learned from the past, the other stewards quickly put an end to their small thoughts, and conscientiously completed the tasks assigned to them by Xiao Zimo.

For those who worked hard, Xiao Zimo did not treat them badly. At the end of the year, he gave each of them a big red envelope as a reward.

Years later, Xiao Zimo took Wu Bai to Yancheng again to pay New Year's greetings to Wu's father and mother.

The Wu family couple were stunned when they learned about Xiao Zimo's road construction.

"You child, what did I tell you at the beginning, don't rely on Zimo's favor to act recklessly." Wu's mother quietly said to Wu Bai while Xiao Zimo was being called away by Wu's father.

"Mother, I really didn't bring this up." Wu Bai explained.

"Then you shouldn't let Zimo do this nonsense. You didn't write to us about such a big matter as road construction." Mother Wu said angrily.

"I'm not going to tell you guys myself!" Wu Bai spread his hands.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this." Wu's mother's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Is this road really half built?"

Wu Bai smiled and said, "It's true, it can be repaired by the end of this year."

Xiao Zimo said: "My son-in-law has something else I want to ask my father-in-law for help."

"What's the matter?" Father Wu said with a smile.

"I promised Fulang to plant peach blossoms on both sides of the road, but I haven't found the source of the tree yet. I wonder if my father-in-law can get a peach blossom tree?" Xiao Zimo asked.

"Peach blossom tree?" Father Wu frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly said, "I remember Lin Yuan's family has a large peach mountain."

"I wonder if my father-in-law can introduce this Lin Yuanwai for me?" Xiao Zimo continued to ask.

Father Wu waved his hand and said, "That's not a problem, but you can leave this matter to me."

Hearing this, Xiao Zimo said happily: "If so, then I would like to thank my father-in-law."

"It's easy to talk about." Father Wu said with a smile on his face.

In the blink of an eye, it was March again, and Wu Bai was still asleep. He was too late last night by Xiao Zimo, and he couldn't open his tired eyes at this moment.

Xiao Zimo dressed Wu Bai gently, and then carried him into the carriage.

The carriage swayed towards the gate of the city.

"Fu Lang, wake up—"

Wu Bai slowly opened his eyes, and he found that he was not on the bed.

"Where is this?" Wu Bai asked in a daze.

Xiao Zimo replied: "We are in the carriage now."

"Carriage?" Wu Bai asked, "Where are you planning to take me?"

"You'll know when we get off the carriage." Xiao Zimo said mysteriously.

After talking for a while, Wu Bai was also completely awake, and he got out of the carriage after Xiao Zimo.

Looking at the flat road in front of him, and the endless peach blossoms on both sides of the road, Wu Bai's eyes widened.

Xiao Zimo pretended to be calm and asked: "Does Fu Lang think this scenery is beautiful?"

Wu Bai nodded slightly, he walked towards this avenue excitedly, and reached out to catch the petals blown down by the spring wind.

With Wu Bai's affirmation, Xiao Zimo couldn't help being elated, and he walked towards Wu Bai with a smile on his face.

At this moment, Wu Bai turned around and looked at him.

For a moment, looking at Wu Bai in front of him, Xiao Zimo was in a daze, and some pictures flashed in his mind. In the picture, Wu Bai was smiling at him like a dimple, wearing the white clothes embroidered with peach patterns like today.

Xiao Zimo couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged Wu Bai, as if all the patience in his heart was satisfied at this moment.

"What's wrong with you?" Wu Bai felt that Xiao Zimo's mood was a little up and down, and he asked worriedly.

"It's okay, I just want to hug you." Xiao Zimo said naturally.

Wu Bai chuckled, hugged him back, and murmured: "Fool."

It took a long time for Xiao Zimo to let go of Wu Bai, and he took Wu Bai to sit on the shaft of the car and drive towards the direction of Yancheng.

The two sat on the shaft of the car, admiring the beautiful scenery on the road while talking.

"No wonder I wanted to come outside the city before, but you tried every means to stop me, so it was for today." Wu Bai raised his eyes and said suddenly.

"The peach blossoms are in full bloom these days, of course I want to give the most beautiful scenery to my husband." Xiao Zimo said with a smile.

"Husband, you are so kind." Wu Bai tilted his head and leaned on Xiao Zimo's shoulder.

"I plan to name this road 'Wu Xiao', what do you think?" Xiao Zimo asked.

"Uh... let's change it!" Wu Bai said after hesitating for a moment.

"What name does Fulang think is better?" Xiao Zimo asked.

Wu Bai thought for a while, and said, "Qingqing Zijin, take care of my heart. How about calling it 'Zijin', what do you think?"

"Okay, then it will be called 'Zijin Road' from now on. When we come back from Yancheng, I will have someone put up the road stele." Xiao Zimo nodded solemnly.

"You want to erect a monument?" Wu Bai asked in surprise.

"Yes, I want to engrave the origin of 'Zijin Road' on the stele." Xiao Zimo explained.

堰城

Wu's father and Wu's mother stood beside 'Zijin Road', looking towards the end of the road.

"Why don't you say that Zimo and Brother Bai haven't arrived yet?" Father Wu asked anxiously.

"It's the first time they've taken this road. It's normal to not get the timing right. Let's just wait a little longer." Mother Wu persuaded.

"Zimo is quite reliable. On such a long road, you can repair it as soon as you say it. There is no ambiguity at all. If it were me, I would not dare to act like him." Father Wu said with emotion.

"Hehe, yes, our brother Bai is a lucky one." Mother Wu said with a smile.

"Many businessmen have approached me these days, asking me when this road will be open for traffic." Father Wu said proudly.

"Then how did you answer?" Mother Wu asked.

Father Wu waved his hand and said, "I said I didn't know, but I really don't know what Zimo's plan is. I'll ask them when they come."

"Huh? Do you think they are the people in that carriage?" Mother Wu said, pointing to the distance.

"It seems to be." Father Wu tilted his head and looked over.

On the carriage, Wu Bai and the others also saw Wu's father and Wu's mother at the end of the road.

"Father and mother are waiting for us there. I don't know how long they have been waiting. Let's speed up." Wu Bai suggested.

"Okay." Xiao Zimo nodded.

After a while, Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo's carriage stopped in front of them.

"Father, mother."

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law."

"You are finally here." Mother Wu said with a smile.

"Just come, let's go back and talk about it first." Father Wu said.

"it is good."

Then a group of people entered the city in a carriage and headed towards Wu's house.
