Chapter 274 Recruiting soldiers and buying horses depends entirely on craftsmanship
Wu Yuan spent the whole night watching the Spring Festival Gala and answering the phone.
Among them were several New Year's call calls to his daughter-in-law Yang Luoyan.
But most still find him.
The pressure of the phone receiver made his ears sore and painful. At the same time, he couldn't understand the Spring Festival Gala intermittently.
The two children couldn't bear it for a long time, and fell asleep on the sofa.
Yang Luoyan only covered the two children with a thin blanket and continued making dumplings.
Cabbage and tofu stuffing, leek and egg stuffing, beef and pork stuffing.
The dumpling wrappers weighed more than three catties, and there were several curtains full of them. Finally, after the New Year's bell rang, Yang Luoyan wanted to continue making the bag, but Wu Yuan yawned and dragged her into the room, saying, "Just make enough to eat."
Yang Luoyan looked at the clock on the wall and said, "Is our family not keeping the old age?"
Wu Yuan said straightforwardly: "Where can't you keep the old age? Do you have to make dumplings and work to keep the new year?"
Yang Luoyan smelled it, and smelled the shampoo on her husband's body: "No wonder you are so diligent that you take a bath by yourself..."
"Haha, let you see it."
"What's the rush? They haven't washed it yet!"
This night, the New Year's Eve was watched vigorously.
It wasn't until dawn that the couple fell into a deep sleep.
It's a pity that I didn't sleep for a long time, and was woken up by the barking dogs in the yard.
The dog barking was not because someone came to the door, but because it was frightened by the sound of firecrackers around.
Actually, even if it wasn't for the barking of the dog, Wu Yuan would have almost been woken up.
Everyone else has had their first meal of the new year, so it’s not too late for my own family.
Especially Yang Luoyan who is unwilling to be left behind.
So the first thing Wu Yuan did when he woke up was to go out and light the firecrackers.
Turn around and brush your teeth and wash up. Yang Luoyan also cooked the dumplings and glutinous rice **** and served them to the table.
The two children sat at the table, and there was also a glutinous rice ball in a small bowl, not for them to eat, but for them to play with.
Wu Yuan ate two large bowls of dumplings in one go, which made him feel a little more at ease.
Last night’s New Year’s Eve was exhausted, so I had to make up.
Of course, the dumplings made by the daughter-in-law taste really good.
fragrant!
After eating the dumplings, Wu Yuan went to the kitchen to add firewood.
Someone outside came to pay New Year's greetings.
The first ones to come to the door were undoubtedly Ma Mingjun and Zhang Yan.
Second apprentice Zhao Baojun took Lin Miaomiao to the ground in a hurry, but failed to catch up with the eldest apprentice.
In the end, Lin Miaomiao caught Zhao Baojun and complained, "Couldn't you have called me earlier?"
Zhao Baojun smiled wryly.
He arrived at Lin's house before dawn, but Lin Miaomiao couldn't help but stay in bed by himself.
Facing the two apprentices, Wu Yuan treats them as if they were his own children, very casual.
Melon seed snacks can be eaten casually.
Lin Miaomiao even knew where it was, so she could find it by herself.
Instead, Ma Mingjun and Zhao Baojun sat down with Master, smoked a cigarette and said, "Master, there is something that I don't know whether I should tell you."
Wu Yuan let Baojun get angry, and heard Ma Mingjun say honestly: "People have been coming to my house years ago, and the ultimate purpose is to work under your master."
"A carpenter or a bricklayer? A master or a small worker?"
"All of them, Master."
"Small workers will not be accepted for now. You have to wait. For carpenters, tell them to look for your master, and for bricklayers, let them look for Mr. Qiao Wu. I have already said hello there, as long as the skills pass the test, there will definitely be work."
"Okay, Master."
Zhao Baojun also took the opportunity to say: "Then Master, I also said the same to the person looking for me?"
Wu Yuan waved his hand and said, "Everyone is treated equally, only the craftsmanship."
Santana looks new, obviously well-washed.
On the back glass, there are also festive blessing characters.
Ma Mingchao got out of the car and said: "Boss, I thought that the road to New Year's greetings would be difficult today, so I drove here."
Wu Yuan thought for a moment, "That's just right, your little lady and I are going out to pay New Year's greetings."
Yang Luoyan hurried out and said, "What about the two children?"
During the first lunar month of the New Year, children are designated not to bring it.
Otherwise, isn't it clear that you want a red envelope from someone?
It is impossible for Wu Yuan to be so ignorant.
Without waiting for Wu Yuan to answer, Lin Miaomiao stepped forward and said, "Auntie, isn't there me here?"
Yang Luoyan was a little worried.
In fact, Wu Yuan was also a little worried about Lin Miaomiao.
This eldest niece is not much better than herself when she brings up a baby.
Then Ma Mingqi also volunteered: "Master Yuan, Miss, and me."
Now it's all working.
Yang Luoyan went into the house to carry all kinds of New Year's greetings gifts to the car, and Wu Yuan was standing beside him, so he didn't have to worry about it at all.
At this moment, the three apprentices Zhu Liubiao and He Yingcai arrived late.
As soon as they met, the big apprentice Ma Mingjun held his shoulders and laughed at him: "Lao Liu, I say you are really Lao Liu. If you come a little later, master and mistress will go out to pay New Year's greetings."
As soon as Wu Yuan left, everyone else also left cleanly.
Only Lin Miaomiao and Ma Mingqi were left with Xiaojiang and Yueyue at home.
On the gravel road in the village, only two ruts of snow melted.
That is the road made by pedestrians and bicycles back and forth.
Has nothing to do with cars.
So Ma Mingchao drove very slowly, just to save his feet, so as not to make mud splash everywhere.
The couple's New Year's greeting route is no different from previous years.
It still started from the old party secretary’s house, went around to Master Qiao’s fourth master’s house, stopped by Qiao’s fifth master’s house, then went to the third sister’s house in Xiaxu Village, and finally arrived at the county.
After a trip, with Santana instead of transportation, it is indeed a lot easier for people.
Someone laughed and said that Boss Wu had become more pompous.
Some people disdain to say that Boss Wu is low-key enough.
Anyway, Wu Yuan will inevitably become the protagonist wherever he goes this trip.
Especially at Master Qiao Siye's house, there were more people than usual.
After careful questioning, I realized that many people are using the opportunity of New Year's greetings to talk about things and ask for work.
Master and the old man are much more tired than usual New Year greetings.
Back from the county, Wu Yuan and his wife did not go home directly, but went to the home of the third sister Wu Xiuhua.
Although I have already come in the morning, I came here to pay New Year's greetings.
And this time, as the only uncle and third sister's family, I went to pick up Xiong Feiyan home.
Santana arrived at the door of the third sister's house.
The couple had already dressed neatly, prepared gifts, and stood at the door.
The nervousness and excitement are even worse than that of Sheng Xiong Wu and Xiong Wenshi.
In comparison, Xiong Wu and Xiong Wen are a bit pitiful.
In the two pairs of small eyes, there is a little confusion about the future.
Wu Yuan touched the heads of the two children and said, "What's wrong? Are you going to cry?"
Xiong Wu pursed his lips and said nothing.
Xiong Wen was picked up by Wu Yuan in his arms, and suddenly cried out: "Brother said, parents won't love Wenwen anymore."
I have to admit that the third sister is indeed a bit obsessed in order to have this girl.
But when this wish is fulfilled, she will never neglect her two sons for the sake of her daughter.
