Chapter 18 018. Plum Blossom Screen

【Plum Blossom Screen】

After Yan Yu left, Su Liang took her used quilt to the backyard and hung it on a tree to dry.

After cleaning the room thoroughly, the stench of blood was gone.

At sunset, Bai Xiaohu brought two playmates to look for Su Liang.

"My grandma said that Su Xiaoming's house is yours now?"

"There are a lot of pears on his tree! We all saw it!"

"What a big pear!"

Su Liang chuckled, "Can you climb trees?"

The three boys nodded in agreement.

"Ning Jing." Su Liang called Ning Jing.

The window was open, and a peaceful, cold and indifferent voice came from the room, "I won't go."

"Then you boil the water and cook the porridge." After Su Liang finished speaking, he took Bai Xiaohu and the others out.

I went to Bai's house and borrowed a big basket, walked across the wooden bridge, and heard three children say that the heavy rain had washed away two bridges in the village and they needed to be rebuilt, and each family contributed their share and labor.

As soon as he crossed the bridge, he ran into Lizheng Su Bai.

When Su Bai saw Su Liang, he was very polite. When he brought up the matter of building the bridge, he didn't ask Ning Jing and Su Liang, who are considered rich by everyone, to pay more money. He only said that her family couldn't afford to work, so they had to pay one more person's wages. .

Su Liang asked Lizheng to go home to find peace.

……

Hearing the knock on the door, Ning Jing got up and came out.

After listening to Li Zheng, go back to the room to get the money.

"It's worth one person's salary." Li counted the number, but it was not enough.

Ning Jing shook his head slightly, "You can work hard."

Li Zheng was stunned, subconsciously looking at Ping Jing's thin figure, clean clothes, beautiful and flawless face...

"Me." Ning Ping said a word and went back.

Li Zheng was very puzzled, since he didn't have much money, Ning Jing wanted to do the work himself?He doesn't look like a person who can work!
……

Su Liang stepped into the courtyard of Su Daqiang's house again, but in just a few days, it was deserted and quiet as if no one had lived in it for a long time.

The three of Bai Xiaohu scrambled to climb up the tree.

The pear tree is not too tall, Su Liang told them to be careful.

A boy picked off a large yellow pear, held it to his mouth and took a big bite, before thinking of asking Su Liang, "Can I eat it?"

"Let's eat." Su Liang said and walked towards the main room.

It is impossible for her and Ning Jing to come and live here, and she doesn't want to use the things here, just short of money, so after reading it, they decided to sell everything.

The daily necessities of this world, even if they are old, are easy to sell.

As for the house, let's keep it for the pear tree.

The shack where the original owner lived for more than a year has collapsed after a heavy rain.

There is a neat vegetable field in the backyard, which must have been taken care of by the original owner.

Su Liang lifted up the fallen bean stand and fixed it, picked a handful of beans and two eggplants, and went back to the front yard.

Each of the three children had finished eating a pear, and they were picking the pears and putting them in their pockets.

Seeing that Su Liang climbed up easily, Bai Xiaohu was dumbfounded, "You can also climb trees?"

Su Liang smiled without saying a word, picked a pear, wiped it with his sleeve, took a bite, the juice was clear and sweet.

Finally, I picked a basket full of pears, and there were still some small ones left on the tree.

"Can I take one home for grandpa to eat?" Er Niu, who was a little shy, said while pulling at the hem of his clothes.

"You can take as much as you want." Su Liang smiled.

The other two looked at Bai Xiaohu in disbelief.

Bai Xiaohu raised his chin and smiled, "Let me just say, Sister Su Liang is very generous!"

They took off their coats, packed a bag each, and ran away.

Su Liang picked up the basket and went home with Bai Xiaohu in the afterglow of the setting sun.

When they were about to leave after crossing the bridge, Su Liang said to Bai Xiaohu, "I need your help with something."

……

When I got home, it was already dark.

Su Liang entered the kitchen, the porridge in the pot was gurgling and emitting an aroma.

Ning Jing turned his back to the door, his arms moved slightly, not knowing what he was doing.

Putting down the pear and walking over, Su Liang saw Ning Jing frowning stirring a big pot of batter...

"What are you going to do?" Su Liang was puzzled.

"Pancakes." Ning Jing put down his chopsticks, embarrassment flashed in his eyes, "I saw you did it. I added too much water, added noodles, and even more noodles..."

Su Liang: ...he doesn't have to be so diligent...

The shredded radish on the side is finely chopped and evenly distributed.

There is nothing in the basket.

The noodle bag has also bottomed out.

"Go shopping in town tomorrow." Su Liang took over the pot of batter.

But I heard Ning Jing say, "Build the bridge tomorrow."

Su Liang froze for a moment, "Didn't you give me money today?"

"If you need to do some labor, I'll do it." Ning Jing looked calm.

Su Liang looked at him thoughtfully, "Are you... experiencing life?"

"Experience?" Ning Jing shook his head slightly, "It's life."

"Okay. Then you go to build the bridge, and I'll go to the town." Su Liang said that his down-to-earth attitude towards life is worthy of recognition.

Bai Peng came over to confirm with Su Liang what Bai Xiaohu had said.

"I don't know how to sell those furniture items. Uncle Bai helped sell all that can be sold, and I will give you [-]% of the money from the sale as hard work." Su Liang said.

Bai Peng responded, saying that he would do it early in the morning, and let his younger brother do the bridge repair.

Su Liang gave Bai Peng a few baked white noodle cakes, but he refused repeatedly.

"Take it, Uncle Bai. I'm not at home tomorrow, and Ning Jing is going to repair the bridge, so I'll come to your house for lunch." Su Liang said.

Bai Peng was very surprised, "Lizheng asked Mr. Ning to repair the bridge? That work is tiring and dirty, how can Mr. Ning do it? I'll talk to Lizheng, and I'll pay you a few dozen extra wages!"

Su Liang shook his head, "It's good for Uncle Bai to call him by his name. He wants to go."

……

That night Su Liang moved back to the original room to sleep, and wrote two pages of copybooks before going to bed.

I wrote two new medicinal recipes and planned to sell them at Feiyan Restaurant tomorrow.

As for the gambling house, you can go there for fun later, not as a serious way to make money.

……

Early in the morning, when the sky was bright, Ning Jing was called away.

He appeared among the strong guys carrying shovels in Sujia Village, which seemed very out of harmony.

Except for Bai Xiaohu's uncle Bai He, no one dared to talk to Ning Jing.

Someone muttered, "If you can't get dozens of Wen, that's poorer than my family! How can he look like he can work?"

It's just that when they really started to work, this "little boy" made their eyes explode!

Why is he not afraid of getting dirty?

He is so strong!
He didn't cry tired?
In short, Ning Ping has proved with practical actions that he is naturally beautiful, but he is not weak or squeamish.

So, after that day, there was a new rumor in the village about Ning Jing's life experience: Although he came from a wealthy family, his parents didn't love his mother and he didn't like being abused since he was a child...

After a while, someone yelled, "Young Master Ning, your wife is watching you!"

Ning Jing looked up, and saw Su Liang appearing not far away with a basket on his back.

Su Liang waved to Ning Jing, said hello, and continued to walk towards the entrance of the village.

Finding that Ning Jing has a good temper, someone yelled, "When will Mr. Ning become a father? You have to buy us a drink!"

Ning Jing was stunned for a moment.

Seeing that he didn't speak, they thought he was shy, and everyone laughed.

……

Su Liang walked to the town with half a basket of pears on his back, and when he stopped to drink water on the way, he saw a carriage.

"Which way is Sujia Village going?" the coachman asked loudly.

Su Liang stretched out his finger, and quickly continued on his way.

When the carriage arrived in the village, it stopped at the door of Su Daqiang's house, and a girl in a pink jacket got out of the carriage.

The door was locked tightly, the girl was silent, and the old woman next door came out and asked her who she was looking for.

"Is this Su Xiaodie's house?" the girl asked.

The old woman nodded, "Yes!"

The girl frowned, "Where's her family?"

"Owing to usury, the whole family was sold to the mine!" said the old woman, "Why are you looking for Su Xiaodie?"

The girl didn't answer, she turned around and walked quickly to the carriage, said a few words in a low voice, and then came back to ask the old woman when Su Xiaodie was sold and who owned her house now.

I heard the girl say that her master paid a deposit and came to Su Xiaodie to get the embroidery.

The old woman sneered, and stretched her finger to the other side of the brook, "It was also the girl of this family who married over there! Now this house belongs to her! How could Su Xiaodie know how to embroider? It was all embroidered by Su Liang!"

"Su Liang?" The girl read the name once, took out a few copper coins and gave them to the old woman.

……

It was almost noon, and the men who repaired the bridge were sweating profusely.Working with them, Ning Ping, who is not lazy at all, still looks refreshed.

Bai Xiaohu rushed over, "Brother Ning! Someone is looking for Sister Su Liang!"

Li Zheng looked up at the sky, said that he was off work, and that he would come back after dinner after returning home.

Ning Jing took Bai Xiaohu home, and saw a carriage parked at the door, and a girl in a pink coat stood beside her.

When the girl saw Tranquility's face at first glance, she felt infatuated.

"Talk to Big Brother Ning if you have anything! He is sister Su Liang's husband!" Bai Xiaohu said loudly.

The girl came back to her senses, her face was reddish, and she said softly, "My lady ordered a double-sided embroidered plum blossom screen. After a few days, it was too late to deliver it, so I came to pick it up myself."

Tranquility looked indifferent, "Who did you make the deal with?"

"Su Xu, she received a deposit of five taels of silver." The girl said.

"It has nothing to do with Su Liang if you go to her." Ning Jing said.

The girl's face froze, "I heard that the previous embroidery was all from Su Liang..."

A young female voice came out from the car, "Master, that plum blossom screen is very important to me, as long as you give it to me, the price is negotiable."

Bai Xiaohu snorted softly, Brother Ning and Sister Su Liang are not short of money!Brother Ning went to work because he was a real man, not a jerk!
In the next moment, Ning Jing nodded, "Okay."

The girl looked happy, "Then quickly take out the plum blossom screen and give it to us!"

"Ten thousand taels of gold." Ning Jing's thin lips parted slightly.

The girl's apricot eyes widened, and she looked at Ning Jing in disbelief, "What did you say?"

"Isn't the price negotiable?" Ning Jing asked back.

"That can't be... Ten thousand taels of gold? What are you kidding?" The girl looked annoyed.

Ning Jing looked so calm, "My wife's embroidery is at this price, and there is no need to discuss it. If you can't afford it, walk slowly and don't give it away."
