Disgusting husband cultivates virtuous

Chapter 158 Busy
It seems that Sister Xiong is going to lead Ma Erlang to find Charcoal, and Ma Erlang follows happily.Xie Xian'er followed closely behind, and was persuaded by Ma Erlang, "It's too cold today, girl, don't go."

Ma Erlang went to the outer courtyard and called Uncle Zhou, Zhou Dashuan, a small knife, a small axe, and several guards. Uncle Zhou drove the carriage with tools such as shovels and hoes, and the rest rode behind Sister Xiong.If Sister Xiong was standing upright, she would walk very slowly. Ma Erlang kept urging her, so she had to climb down and land on all fours before she got up quickly.Fortunately, it is wearing a newly made orange embroidered short skirt today, which does not get in the way like a big skirt.

Due to the heavy snow, there were very few pedestrians outside.Occasionally, I met a few people. They saw a big bear wearing strange clothes running in front, followed by people on horseback and carriages, and they all stopped in amazement to watch the excitement.

However, seeing that the person riding the horse was a nobleman from Yuxi Village, and the person driving the carriage was the head of Yuxi Village, he didn't dare to say much.

Sister Xiong took the old road from Yuxi Village to the wild forest in the back mountain, walking south along the foot of the mountain.When I saw the Yuqing River in the distance, there was a large piece of wasteland covered with gravel, with a few scattered trees growing here and there.The trees are not big, and they look like they are dying.This piece of wasteland is connected to the mountain, and there is a larger piece of wasteland on the mountain, which is also covered with gravel.In summer, there are many weeds here, which are as tall as an adult.In winter, this place is deserted, in stark contrast to the distance covered by big and small trees.

Sister Xiong stopped here.It came to the side of the mountain, scraped the snow with claws like iron hooks, exposed the ground, and started digging the soil again.

Ma Erlang asked someone to dig aside with a hoe. When the hole was dug to nearly one meter, one or two lumps of coal could be seen. The deeper the pit was dug, the more coal there would be. of the coal seam.

These charcoal are buried so shallow that they are extremely conducive to mining.Ma Erlang was so excited that he ordered people to take out the two baskets in the car and fill them with charcoal.Uncle Zhou went back to Zhuangzi to send charcoal, and then came back to continue loading.This place is already inaccessible, and with such a heavy snowfall, no one will come here.

At noon, Wang Xi came driving a carriage, and it turned out that Zhou Nanny and Wang Shitou's family had brought meals.Xie Xian'er thought that they would not finish their work so quickly, so she asked someone to prepare the meals in advance and bring them to them.In order to keep out the cold, I also brought a few catties of shochu.

The meals are packed in big wooden barrels and covered with big mattresses, so the meals are still steaming when they are taken out.They picked up dry branches and lit a fire, and ate and drank around the fire.Today's dishes are particularly good, Potato Roasted Pork, Pork with White Cabbage, and White Mian Bun.

Second Master Ma took a big sip of wine, and said boldly, "Big guys, do a good job, and each of you will be rewarded with five taels of silver when you go back." The crowd cheered again.

Several people dug until it was almost dark, and Ma Erlang felt that it was almost done, so he ordered the big hole to be buried before returning to Zhuangzi.

The old lady and Xie Xian'er were waiting in the upper room, while Ma Erye washed up and entered the upper room, and talked about the situation while eating.

The old lady said happily, "Fortunately, the charcoal is buried shallow, and you can mine it in the open pit. If you dig a well to get charcoal, you guys who don't know how to do it really can't do it. However, the court does not allow private coal mining. When you dig enough Stop when you need to use it.”

Ma Erye led the people to dig for three days, and felt that it was almost enough, so he didn't go any more.However, the large pits where the coal seam could be seen were filled in.

From the next day, Erye Ma got into the Yuxi Iron Works again.He leaves early and returns late so busy that the old couple and children hardly see him.He is a public official on duty, and he wants to get things done quickly and go back to Yingmao.Besides, he was anxious to see the result.

Every night, Ma Erye returned to Zhuangzi in the wind and snow, and when he saw the small window with orange light, his mood suddenly became hot.He knew that the small window was as warm as spring, and there was a smile brighter than spring flowers blooming just for him.

He didn't care how bad his image was at this moment, so he quickly walked into the south room in the east wing.He grinned, his teeth whiter than his face.

Xie Xian'er got up and said with a smile, "Second Master is back, are you hungry? Go wash up, and eat when you come back. Today I have your favorite Sixi meatballs and Huadiao wine." Then handed him his change of clothes Give silver red.

Second Master Ma nodded and said, "Okay, girl, wait for me."

After a while, Second Master Ma came back in a refreshed suit.The room is not only warm, but also smells of wine and vegetables.

While eating and drinking, he was talking to Xie Xian'er about what happened in the factory that day, and he would ask some questions.Xie Xian'er said what she could say, and inspired him when she couldn't say it directly.Ma Erye is very smart in doing these things. If he doesn't understand what he doesn't understand, he writes it down in a notebook and goes to the workshop to discuss and study with the craftsmen.

The two had to talk until late at night almost every day before Xie Xian'er got up and went back to the bedroom in the north room to rest.

Before dawn the next day, Second Master Ma got up and opened the door. Xie Xian'er was already waiting in the living room with the girl.The maids helped him to wash, while Xie Xian'er found his clothes.Even though he knew that he would get dirty again as soon as he entered the workshop, he still cleaned him neatly.

For the first day or two, Second Master Ma still didn't think so.Secretly thought, it was dirty again in less than half an hour, why bother.But seeing Xie Xian'er seriously dressing him up, she would purse her lips and say with a smile, "No one is more handsome than my husband." With that proud look, Second Master Ma couldn't say anything else.

Afterwards, Xie Xian'er had breakfast with him, and then sent him outside the east chamber door.It's still the same sentence that I said every day, "Second Master, please go slowly."

Second Master Ma looked at her very habitually and said, "I know." Then, he stepped out of the gate of the inner courtyard on the creaking snow.

At this time, the lights in the upper room started to come on, and the old man and the old lady were about to get up.

This morning, Xie Xian'er, who had already had breakfast, served the whole family for dinner.The old lady fully affirmed her first, and then began to praise Ma Erlang, "Erlang is such a hard-working kid, and he also has tenacity in doing things. We misunderstood him before."

Then he said to the old man who was drinking goat milk, "The old man is not allowed to call Erlang a fool anymore, he is a smart and good boy. The future will not be worse than that of other children in our family."

The old man raised his head and said aggrievedly, "Hua'er, since I hit that idiot..., oh no, I said it wrong again." He patted himself on the mouth, and said again, "Since I hit that— —Boy, if you scold him again, my granddaughter-in-law will never laugh with me again, and she won’t cook my favorite food. Hua’er, I won’t beat and scold Erlang again, let my granddaughter-in-law laugh at me, okay?”
