The Little Dumb Wife of the Mountain People

Chapter 162
It was too hot, and it was very stuffy. After eating, everyone was sweating.

The students kept making ice cubes. The children in the village brought well water to line up under the thatched shed to make ice cubes. When they had ice cubes, they immediately went home with ice cubes. There were still people waiting for ice cubes at home. block summer heat.

After the saltpeter is dissolved in the water, you can put the water into the clay pot and boil it, and you will get saltpeter in the end. Although the saltpeter in the end is not as good as it was at the beginning, and the effect is getting worse, it can save some costs. .

Because Wen Bao decided to announce the method of making ice with saltpeter, the price of saltpeter in Nanning County is much higher this year, but because of the ice cubes, the hot summer is much cooler.

"Come on, let me show you."

After eating and resting for only a quarter of an hour, Zhang Lian stared at Wen Bao to feel her pulse, but Wen Bao couldn't resist Zhang Lian, so he could only stretch out his hand and wait for her to feel her pulse.

After a while, Zhang Lian let go of Wen Bao's wrist, "You were a little tired two days ago, after going back today, take a good rest for two days before thinking about going out to play. Have you lost your appetite recently?"

"Well, it's too hot to eat."

There is nothing to hide from Zhang Lianwen Bao. She really doesn't like to eat recently. Because she is pregnant, she can't eat preserved eggs. Recently, her favorite food is tofu mixed with shallots.

"I see that you ate some cold dishes at noon today. Go back and have a good rest. If you can't do it, go home. Eating vegetarian cold dishes every day is not good for your children."

"Well, I'll eat some meat when I go back tonight, and the cook at Sister-in-law's house is also pretty good."

Wen Bao's family left here in the afternoon, and Zhang Lian and the others were still busy. Her family was also delaying things here. Another reason was that they rushed back to the county for fear of a sudden rainstorm.

Before the mule cart arrived at Wen Cheng's family's house, the sky changed, thunder roared in the dark sky, Tuantuan and Pangpang stayed by Wen Bao's side, holding Wen Bao's arm with outstretched arms.

"Dalang, hurry up, it's going to rain."

"Sit tight, it's almost here."

The strong wind blew up, and Song Dalang waved the leather whip in his hand to drive the mule to hurry up.

After crossing a main street, they finally came to the street of Wen Chengquan's family. When they saw the gate of his house, the family finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as the mule cart arrived at the door, the old man of Wen Cheng's family opened the door.

"Come in, come in."

Wen Chengquan's family came out immediately when they heard the movement in the house.

"Bao'er, you guys are back."

Wen Chengquan had an anxious expression on his face, he finally smiled when he saw Wen Bao's family came back safely, but there was a ray of sadness between his brows that did not dissipate.

Walking into the living room, just as Wen Bao sat down, he saw Wen Liushi winking at her. When she looked sideways, she noticed the sadness between Wen Chengquan's brows.

"Fourth brother, what's wrong with you? What happened to you?"

As soon as Wen Bao said a word, everyone's eyes fell on Wen Chengquan.

"It's okay, you don't have to worry, the fourth brother can take care of it."

Naturally, Wen Bao didn't believe that Wen Chengquan could solve it by himself, otherwise her fourth sister-in-law wouldn't be so eager to wink at her.

After the mother-in-law brought hot tea to leave, Wen Bao said seriously: "Fourth brother, we are brothers and sisters. I have been close to you since childhood. Why are you lying to me?"

"This……"

Wen Bao's tone was sincere, because she and Wen Chengquan were about the same age, and they had indeed grown up playing together since childhood, so there was nothing wrong with saying that.

As for Wen Chengquan, he originally only wanted to deal with this matter by himself, and didn't want to tell Wen Bao.

"Fourth brother, tell me, what's the matter, I can help you think of a way."

"Ugh."

Wen Chengquan sighed lightly before he said: "Didn't I mention to my father-in-law that I want to continue my studies? I talked for a long time, and he asked me to wait for the autumn inspectors to leave before reading."

As soon as Wen Bao heard this, he immediately glanced at Wen Liushi, but Wen Liushi also sighed and said: "My father is busy with inspections from above, and there are too few caring and reassuring people under him, so today my father As soon as the begging expression appeared on the face, neither of us could refuse."

Wen Bao didn't expect that this matter would make her fourth brother so difficult to handle. To be honest, it would be quite difficult for her to handle this matter.

"I never asked, who is the person who is coming to inspect?"

"Fourth prince, Bao'er, you guessed correctly. He is indeed the fourth prince. He is the official historian, and the deputy historian is the general of Zhenguo. He is expected to arrive in Nanning County in mid-August."

Wen Bao didn't expect that she had guessed that the fourth prince would come, and it really was.

But after thinking about it, she understood that the empress and the prince could not leave the capital at will, but the four princes who were compatriots of the prince and mother were different, let alone accompanied by the general Zhen Guo.

Although she felt that it was too formal for General Zhen Guo to come in person, these were not the main point. The main point was the Nanning county government, which was now in a hurry due to inspections.

"We in Nanning County don't say that people are outstanding, but there are also many scholars, and there are many businessmen who are good at management. With so many people, can't we find a few talents that Uncle Liu can trust?"

Wen Bao felt that this matter was very problematic. She didn't believe that there were not many useful people in the huge Nanning County.

"Of course there are, but how do you find them?"

Wen Chengquan also knew that there were indeed many talented people in Nanning County, but he didn't have time to find them one by one.

"Yeah, there are still about two months left, so it's a waste of time to find them one by one."

Wen Liu's family is also very embarrassed about this matter, Master Liu is her father after all, but she has already married into the Wen family, and the Wen family's choice to avoid the edge during the fourth prince's inspection was discussed at home.

But today her father almost cried when he came, and she couldn't bear to see her father in such a difficult situation, she really didn't know what to do.

"It's naturally difficult to find them one by one. We can let talented people come to them on their own initiative."

"Ok?"

As soon as Wen Bao's words fell, Wen Chengquan looked at her suspiciously, really not knowing what to do if someone came to the door proactively.

Wen Bao laughed when he saw everyone's puzzled expressions. She didn't know about other things, but she was clear about this job fair.

Taking a sip of warm water with a teacup, the rain poured down outside the house, and the room was finally cooler, but the water vapor was too strong, Song Dalang closed the windows, leaving only two doors open there.

After the oil lamps were all lit, Wen Bao also made a draft in his mind, "Tomorrow fourth brother will go to Uncle Liu and ask Uncle Liu to post a notice saying that the county government wants to recruit talented people. Open recruitment, those who think they are talented and want to work for the county government can come for an interview after three days.

During the interview, Uncle Liu can arrange a few people to be the interviewers. Each person who comes to the interview must prepare a personal detailed introduction, such as what is his name, where does he live, whether he is a native of Nanning County, whether he has read books, etc. How many people are there in the family, what do they do, and what do they think they can be suitable for.

Of course, when writing the recruitment notice, if Uncle Liu was short of talent, he would rewrite it, and write down the requirements in a simple way, which would be much more convenient. "

Wen Bao simply talked about the situation of the job fair, which made Wen Chengquan's eyes light up.

Nowadays, most of the people in the county government are recommended by the original people of the county government, and a small part of them are promoted after Mr. Liu himself came.

The fourth prince's inspection this time is a great contribution, and there are huge risks behind such a great contribution.

Master Chunliu's position will be full next year, and he doesn't want to have trouble at the last minute, so the people he employs are people who are absolutely assured.

But the result of this is that the people in the county government are not in harmony, and there are always people who want to make something behind their backs.

"Uncle Liu can recruit more people. If he finds that there are talents that can be taken away, he will not be without manpower when he enters Beijing next year.

In particular, the arrests of our county government are all inherited from their fathers. Many people are not good at martial arts. It is a big deal for the fourth prince to come to inspect. Uncle Liu can definitely recruit some guards who left the merchants, such as the uncle’s family. Some guards left after ten years.

Uncle Liu recruited all kinds of talents, and the original talents of the county government would have a sense of crisis, so they would do their jobs well and dare not fight with Uncle Liu. "

Wen Baoyue said that Wen Chengquan felt that this was a good idea. If it hadn't been for the heavy rain outside, he really wanted to rush out to the county government office and tell Mr. Liu about this idea.

Unable to get out, Wen Chengquan could only patiently inquire about the details of this matter. Wen Bao had never held a job fair, and what she said was all she had learned from previous lives, but these things made Wen Chengquan feel like a treasure.

The two brothers and sisters talked happily. After the meal, Wen Chengquan hurriedly went to the study to light up the lamp to write down what Wen Bao said just now, for fear of forgetting.

Wen Bao just gave a general framework, and he needs to slowly fill in the flesh and blood on this framework.

An hour later, he finally sorted out the matter, and just wanted to discuss it with Wen Bao, but found Wen Liushi sitting in a corner of the study, drowsy.

Wen Liushi under the lamp seemed to be asleep at the moment. She was about to give birth with her big belly. After he was busy with this recruitment meeting, he must take her back to Songjia Village to wait for the delivery.

Approaching quietly, Wen Liushi has not used makeup since she was pregnant, because of pregnancy, she has some spots on her face, but in Wen Chengquan's view, these are signs of meritorious deeds.

Just as Wen Chengquan put a piece of clothing on for Wen Liushi, she woke up with a start.

"Busy working?"

Wen Liushi spoke in a daze, and Wen Chengquan squatted down and pinched her calf with his hands. Because of pregnancy, her originally slender legs were also swollen.

"Well, I'm all busy, where is Xiao Liu?"

"Slept with his aunt and said he wanted to play with his sister and brother."

Wen Liushi's nerves, which were still somewhat confused, became more and more clear because Wen Chengquan pinched her legs. No matter how many years they were married, she always remembered that on the wedding night, this man put his arms around her and solemnly swore that he would love her forever.

"Children really should play with their peers. After this recruitment meeting, we will return to Songjia Village. Parents are in the village, and the third sister-in-law is about to give birth. The third brother probably won't go out next month."

"Well, if my father still comes to you after finishing this work, I won't let you go."

After Wen Liushi finished speaking, the couple looked at each other and smiled. The heavy rain outside the house gradually became lighter. Within a quarter of an hour, the rain stopped suddenly, the strong wind blew past, and the dark clouds drifted away. Tomorrow will be another beautiful day.
