Chapter 643 Kettle
From the early morning of the second day, the entire Liu Family Village became lively in an instant. Except for the people brought by Wen Ruyan from Jingzhou City, all the young and strong men in the entire Liu Family Village participated. Maybe everyone is diligent, and there are some lazy people who don't want to work hard.

But under the watchful eyes of all the people, who would dare to commit public outrage and stay at home and enjoy the comfort?Then you can't be accused by thousands of people?There is no need to hang out in the village anymore.

What's more, Wen Ruyan took the lead in this project, who is Wen Ruyan, who participated in his capacity, what reason do others have to refuse?
Therefore, this can be regarded as a small trick that Wen Ruyan used when doing things for the common people.

It was almost noon.

Grandma Wang's home.

"Girl, hurry up and send these food and water outside the village!"

Ning Wan'er was sitting quietly in the room with her chin propped on her right hand, thinking about something, when she heard Granny Wang shouting, she hurried out, and saw a basket on the table in the courtyard, in addition to a large pot just brought up There were a few pancakes besides the well water, so she asked curiously, "Are you going to give these to those who dig canals outside the village?"

Grandma Wang smiled and said, "Yes."

Ning Wan'er was puzzled, and said, "Mother-in-law, Jingzhou City actually doesn't distribute much food to our family, why do you still do this? It's not like you don't know that they work outside the village for a reason. food."

Grandma Wang smiled and said: "Now there are only you and me in our family, an old woman with handicapped hands and a weak girl who has no strength to restrain a chicken. Other families have people who go out to work, but our family has no contribution. I feel a little uncomfortable for the old lady, our family also has land, and it is good for our family if the canal is dug, so if I don’t do something, I always feel uncomfortable.”

To be honest, sometimes the minds of ordinary people are so simple.

When the country does things for them, they will think of contributing to the country. Although they are meager, they have a heart.

Ning Wan'er was about to say something, but she was interrupted by Granny Wang with a smile: "Okay girl, don't talk about anything else, and send it over quickly. It's already noon, and they must be too thirsty."

Ning Wan'er nodded, without saying anything else, picked up the basket and walked out of the village.

Next to the field ridge outside the village.

At this time, a canal about two feet long has been brought over from a nearby village, and hundreds of people are working in full swing.

Under the canal, Wen Ruyan looked up at the sky to estimate the time, then threw the iron catalpa in his hand aside, and said to the middle-aged man next to him: "Okay, it's getting late, let's have a rest. "

The middle-aged man was wearing a linen shirt, and he was sweating profusely after working all morning. He wiped some sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, then turned his head and glanced at the people behind him. Still working, he panted heavily and said with a smile: "It's not too tired, my body is not as delicate as you imagined."

Wen Ruyan followed suit with a smile, then turned around and clapped his hands and shouted loudly: "Everyone stop and have a rest, lunch must be on the way to be delivered, we all go up and find a shade under a tree to sit down and rest, afternoon Keep going!"

As the canal grows, there will naturally be more people. Wen Ruyan's words spread to the rear one by one. After seeing that the people behind stopped their work, Wen Ruyan jumped up lightly, and then faced the The middle-aged man stretched out his hand and said, "Come on."

The middle-aged man wiped his profuse sweat again, and then he took Wen Ruyan's hand and was dragged up by him.

"Thank you Your Highness."

Wen Ruyan shook her head: "You don't need to thank me, I've been working all morning, and it's time to take a break."

The two looked at each other and smiled, then turned their heads and saw Chu Yue, who was dressed in common people's clothes, was standing there under the shade of a tree not far away, holding a food box.

Wen Ruyan smiled and said, "Let's go."

The middle-aged man nodded, then clasped his fists to Wen Ruyan and saluted, then turned and walked towards Chu Yue.

This middle-aged man was naturally Chu Yue's father, Chu Yuanwai. Wen Ruyan released him after he was imprisoned for a few days, but he did not let him go home. He followed him to participate in the river diversion project.

Wen Ruyan promised Chu Yue that he would give Chu Yuanwai a chance to reduce his punishment, and this Chu member was indeed not an ordinary person. Although he lived a comfortable and comfortable life for a long time, he was not good at work. Didn't drop any chains either.

Anyway, as long as Wen Ruyan worked, he would follow him. Sometimes he was so tired that he could hardly breathe, but he still didn't say anything, just gritted his teeth and persisted.

This fact made Wen Ruyan a little surprised.

After members of Chu went to Chu Yue's side, Ji Yuan quietly approached and said, "Your Highness, if you just torment your father-in-law like this, aren't you afraid that Miss Chu will be angry with you?"

Old. Father-in-law?
Wen Ruyan's face was black immediately, and he turned around to kick him, but Ji Yuan had long been used to his small movements, so he quickly moved aside, Wen Ruyan first glanced at Chu Yue who was not far away, and then turned his head to stare at him. Looking at Ji Yuan, he said, "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb. By the way, where is Su Bai?"

Ji Yuan curled his lips, and said: "That guy is not suitable for this job, he has already run away."

"Ran?"

"Isn't it? Have you ever seen a man in white clothes for this job? He just showed up in front of you in the morning and left."

Wen Ruyan shook his head slightly, but said nothing more.

Just run away, he also understands Su Bai, he is born with a cleanliness habit, if he is allowed to stay in this ditch and deal with dirt all day, it will probably drive him crazy.

the other side.

After Chu Yuanwai came under the shade of the tree, he saw that Wen Ruyan didn't pay attention to this place, and didn't even speak to Chu Yue. He just sat down on the ground at that time. Now he just feels like his whole body is about to fall apart.

Seeing him like this, Chu Yue squatted down in fright, put the food box on the ground aside and asked worriedly, "Father, are you okay?"

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Member Chu breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine, I'm just a little tired."

Looking at her father's sweaty face, Chu Yue felt really sad. Although she visited Chu Yuanwai every day during this time and saw him like this every day, she still felt distressed. endlessly.

Seeing her like this, Chu member Wai Dang hurriedly said with a smile again: "Okay, don't feel bad, it's okay, the land in Liujia Village was originally owned by our Chu family, and I did get it from these villagers over the years. There are a lot of things, digging a canal right now is an apology for them."

Of course Chu Yue knew that her father was trying to comfort her, he was afraid that she would feel distressed.

Seeing that she was about to say something, Yuanwai Chu glanced at the food box next to him, and said, "Let's not talk about that, I'm hungry and thirsty now, quickly take out the food you brought me."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yue quickly took the food box, opened it and handed it to Yuanwai Chu.

"Hehe, there are still chicken legs today."

Member Chu took out the water bottle and drank a few big gulps, then reached out and picked up the chicken legs.

"Father, you haven't washed your hands yet, look at the dirt on your hands."

Member Chu took a bite of the chicken leg, and said while eating, "How can there be so many poor people? In fact, aren't all ordinary people like this? Besides, what I grab is the bone, and I can't eat it in my mouth."

Chu Yue suddenly felt a little helpless.

She can now understand that since her father started working with Wen Ruyan, it has really become different from before, and the way of life has gradually moved closer to that of ordinary people.

But Chu Yue didn't say anything about it. In fact, not only his father, but also her and her own mother are like this now?

When did you cook with your own hands before?Don't I, who used to keep my fingers off the sun, now live and cook in the kitchen every day?
Although the taste is a bit bad
Member Chu ate a chicken leg, ate a bowl of rice with the dish of pickles, and drank a few sips of water. Then he leaned comfortably on the tree trunk on his back and looked at the There was a trace of satisfaction on the faces of the people who were sitting full, and they even hummed a few little tunes.

Chu Yue put the kettle and bowls and chopsticks used by members of Chu in the food box, then looked down at the unopened second floor, then turned her head to look at Wen Ruyan who was sitting not far away, her face was full of Tangled.

In fact, she brought two meals here today, and the lower layer is exactly the same as what her father ate just now, so it goes without saying who she brought it to.

She didn't know why she brought two meals, but she did it subconsciously. Do you think it's strange.

Chu Yuanwai, who was squinting slightly, took a peek at Chu Yue through the gap, and then said, "Don't sit here, Your Highness is the same as me. He has been working since early morning and has not rested. He must be hungry now." Great, you'd better send him there quickly."

Even though Chu Yuedang had a big blush, the members of Chu couldn't help sighing when they saw her shy, "Girl, in fact, your father has already understood what's on your mind, you don't have to have trouble with His Highness because of your father In the interim, although His Highness took me and made me work all day, he was actually thinking about you. Although Dad voluntarily pleaded guilty and handed over all the assets of the Chu family, the past sins are still in the hands of the Chu family. There, although the head will not fall to the ground, it is inevitable to go to prison, if he hadn't considered you, how could he give me such a chance to reduce the sentence?"

"Although I'm so tired that my whole body is about to fall apart, doing a day's work can save one day's time in the prison. Why not do it? Besides, with his extremely noble status, he will be with me every day. Working together, I have nothing else to mind, so do whatever you want."

After saying these words, Chu Yuanwai leaned against the tree trunk with his eyes closed and fell asleep again, and even raised his head impatiently and waved to her several times, signaling her to leave quickly.

Seeing her father's appearance like this, Chu Yue thought for a while, then a trace of determination appeared on her face, she got up, picked up the food box, and walked towards Wen Ruyan.

But before she could take a few steps, she saw a girl on the other side walking towards Wen Ruyan carrying a basket containing a kettle and pancakes.

Chu Yue immediately froze in place, her little face was almost distorted.

Wen Ruyan was resting under a big tree with a palm leaf fan when he heard footsteps. He turned his head and saw Ning Wan'er walking in front of him with a basket.

Wen Ruyan was surprised, and then saw Ning Wan'er squatting beside him, took out the kettle from the basket, pulled off the lid and handed it to him.

A man and a woman just stared at each other quietly, no one spoke first.

Ning Wan'er is still the same old, with her long hair casually draped behind her back, her face is as delicate as a porcelain doll without any makeup on, her big eyes blink like they are still shining brightly, and she has a delicate nose There were tiny beads of sweat on her lips, presumably because she had walked a lot, and her moist pink lips were pursed lightly, as if there was a touch of charming charm between them.

In the distance, Ji Yuan came over with a kettle, and saw this scene.

He first turned his head and glanced at Chu Yue who was carrying a food box not far away, then at Ning Wan'er who was squatting in front of Wen Ruyan, and then looked down at the kettle in his hand. It's a little embarrassing.

Naturally, Wen Ruyan also saw Chu Yue. Just when he didn't know what to do, he saw Ji Yuan walking over. At that time, he turned his eyes to look at Ji Yuan, raised his eyebrows a few times, as if signaling to him What.

Ji Yuan nodded, then turned and left.

At this moment, Wen Ruyan almost jumped up and swears.

Ning Wan'er was holding the water bottle for a long time without seeing Wen Ruyan take it, so she lightly parted her cherry lips and said, "Drink water."

Wen Ruyan turned her head to look at Chu Yue again, put down the raised hand, and raised the lowered hand again, neither answering nor not answering.

catch?Didn't you see that Chu Yue was about to walk over with the food box?No answer?The girl kindly handed you water, aren't you slapping your face?

After being embarrassed for a long time, Wen Ruyan asked helplessly, "Miss, what are you doing?"

Wen Ruyan really couldn't figure it out, he had already shown enough hostility towards her, the few times he saw her in the past, he almost hit her, why did she still lean towards him?
Could it be that she actually took the lie that Su Bai told her to be true?No way!

Hearing his question, Ning Wan'er said calmly: "Grandma asked me to bring you water and food."

Wen Ruyan glanced at the pancakes in the basket. To be honest, he was really hungry now, and really wanted to pick up one to taste, but this was just a thought.

"Then why don't you give it to those?" Wen Ruyan asked, pointing to the crowd sitting and resting along the canal in the distance.

Ning Wan'er's answer was straightforward: "I don't know them."

Wen Ruyan was stunned by what she said at the time. He hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his right hand, palm facing up, and bent his four fingers several times towards Chu Yue who was not far away, beckoning her Come here quickly.

"As you can see, my wife has brought me food."

Seeing that Ning Wan'er handed him water for most of the day and he didn't pick it up, Chu Yue told herself to hurry over, and most of the temper in her heart dissipated at that time.

She walked towards Wen Ruyan quickly.

Ning Wan'er glanced at Chu Yue who was walking over, then plugged the lid of the kettle, and left here with the basket in hand.
