"Erniu, put that bundle of straw over here and lay it on top of the snow." Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao directed Erniu and Xiao Hong from the side.
It was just moving the straw. Originally, the two of them wanted to help as well, but Erniu and Xiao Hong were so scared that they didn't agree no matter what. What if the rice pile fell down?
Out of the four people, two of them moved their mouths and two of them exerted their strength. As they were working, the villagers who came out to clear the snow on the road saw them and hurriedly came over. One of them respectfully said to Zhang Xiaobao, "Little Young Master, what are you doing? We'll help. "
"Okay, make something that children like to play with. Move the straw down and listen to me and Cuckoo." Zhang Xiaobao pointed at the rice pile and said.
The villagers didn't care whether they were playing with it or not. When the young master and young lady asked them to work, they directly did it. Even if the two little ancestors had nothing to do, it didn't matter if they asked people to take the straw down and pile it up again.
With the help of these people, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's work sped up. After two hours, a layer of straw covered the entire two mu of land. On top of it, there were two bundles of straw piled together and formed a triangular space with the ground.
These triangular spaces were arranged in rows like a maze. There were numerous forks in the road. Some of the paths even had a house made of straw. Occasionally, there would be a small space made of four bundles of straw on the side of other paths.
The adults now understood that the young master and young lady wanted to drill inside. They had done this before when they were young, but it wasn't as big as this one. It was only a few feet long.
"Okay, after a while, the children can come here to play after school." Zhang Xiaobao clapped his hands and said happily.
Wang Juan was also admiring this masterpiece on the side. She thanked the villagers and went in through one of the entrances. She sat on the straw inside and said to Zhang Xiaobao through the 'wall'.
"Xiao Bao, can you add some more fun things? Think about what we like. "
Zhang Xiaobao knew that Wang Juan meant what she wanted to do when she was young. He stood there and thought for a while. "Go to the grocery store and take out some of the things we collected. Put them in all the passageways and let them look for them. If they find them, they'll be theirs. It's New Year's Eve today. Let them be happy."
"Okay, make some more food. Wrap them in oiled paper, just a little at a time. Also, ask Erniu to make some more straw bales and bring over the small shovels that we asked people to make," Wang Juan added.
At this time, Huzi, who had gone to kill the dog, came back. Zhang Xiaobao instructed him on how to deal with the meat, and also went into the grass. He felt the size of the space and found that the child could pass through it. This time, he was satisfied.
"Xiao Bao, it's almost New Year's Eve. Will the Han Family and the Yuan Family make a move before this? Last time, that Han Wangzhu guy didn't even tell the county magistrate how he was going to scheme against us. It's better to know early. If they make a move in these few days, what should we do? "
Wang Juan asked Zhang Xiaobao as she peeked out from the grass.
"They dare? If they really make a move in these few days before New Year's Eve, I'll make them regret being born in this world. If they don't let me have a good New Year, I'll make them unable to have a good New Year's Eve. "
Zhang Xiaobao was most annoyed by people who came to make trouble during New Year's Eve. At this time, the people who came to make trouble were the most immoral. They didn't want others to have peace at the end of the year.
Wang Juan nodded. She thought for a while and asked, "What should the Jia County Magistrates give for New Year's Eve? Just 500 grams of black fungus? "
"Just 500 grams of black fungus? Didn't someone pay for it? Other than giving him money, no matter what we give him, he won't be grateful to us. He even asked someone to watch the dock today. It's frozen over there, right? After New Year's Eve, he will ask someone to start shaving ice. "
Zhang Xiaobao was very clear about this kind of human nature. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to scheme against him and get him into the water.
It's been frozen for a long time. It's not that cold this year, but the wind is stronger. Have you forgotten that the ice at the dock has been cleared a few times? It's good that it can last until now. Let's stop. The ice has damaged a few boats. It snowed last night, so no boats will come today. I'm afraid that they will be stuck in the ice and can't go back. "
Wang Juan said at the side. As long as they wait for another two days, the swimming pool and the pond would be covered with ice to make ice lanterns.
"Yes, I forgot. It's just a small matter. I didn't think about it. These days, I have been thinking about how to scheme against others. They don't want to live a good life, but they have to find trouble with us. These people." Zhang Xiaobao sighed.
Wang Juan suddenly laughed. "Now you are annoyed. Why didn't you think that others were also prepared to live a good life when you cheated them? Comrade Zhang Xiaobao, double standards are not good. Who asked us to live a good life now? If others want a better life, they can only get it from us.
If you want a stable life, it's simple. Hand over all the prescriptions and sell the dock. Then they won't find trouble with us. You have been thinking for so many days. Have you thought about how to scheme against others? We can't always be passive. We have to take the initiative to attack. "
"Didn't you say that you don't want me to cheat? Are you supporting me now? "
"I don't want you to cheat people like them. They don't count. You don't have to cheat good people. You can still cheat bad people. They are already at our doorstep. If you don't let them know what's good for you, you will be sorry for your evil tricks."
Wang Juan directly positioned him as a bad person.
Zhang Xiaobao looked at Wang Juan's angry face and laughed. He lay on the grass and said, "I have long had a way. There are a few that can't be used. They are too destructive and against the heavens. I originally prepared a program for them during the New Year. Later, I thought about it and decided to be magnanimous. Grievances should not be solved during the New Year."
"Hmm, that's right. They are not on the same level as you. This is the power of accumulating knowledge. Then, look at them. They won't make a move. Wait until after the New Year. When they do something big, don't bicker with them at this time. If you are not a gentleman, you are not a man."
Wang Juan trusted Zhang Xiaobao the most in this regard. Zhang Xiaobao's brain was basically filled with all kinds of bad ideas. He was also a bad person, and a professional one at that. Unless he met those high-ranking officials in the imperial court, he might not have any opponents.
Those powerful officials seemed to be born to plot against each other. Their IQ was not low, and they knew how to endure.
The two of them chatted and changed positions from time to time. Otherwise, if they stayed in the same place for a long time, the straw would be warm and the snow below would melt.
Time passed unknowingly, and the children were finally out of school. Today was the New Year, and there were no classes in the afternoon. The children were going to go home directly, but they were called to the field by Xiao Hong.
The children's minds were simple. A little fun could make them happy for the whole day. When they came to the field, they saw the houses made of straw and the passage. They shouted and rushed over. Xiao Hong followed and shouted, "Don't be impatient.
"Don't be in such a hurry, there are still things to be said. The young master and young lady are also inside. You must be careful and don't get hurt. Today, the master has prepared a lot of small things for you, as well as food. They are all placed inside. Go and find them yourselves. Whoever finds them can have them. There are also small shovels and baskets for you to play with."
When the children heard that there were so many other good things, they shouted even louder. They ran over to get some small shovels and other things before they got inside. There were a total of four entrances and exits. When they looked from the outside, they couldn't tell which way to go. After they got inside, it was dark inside. The light outside could only shine in a little, making it even more difficult for the children to determine the direction.
This kind of mystery was also what the children liked. When they got inside, when they encountered a fork and saw people coming from other places, they would laugh when they saw them or scare them.
Some children deliberately hid so that others couldn't find them. There were fun things and food inside, making them feel that they could spend the night here, or even live here forever.
The little girls gathered in twos and threes, took the small buckets and other things, and found a 'small house' at the side to play house. Usually, when they played, they didn't have such 'professional' tools, and it was even more impossible for them to eat anything. Now that they had food, they could really eat it after 'cooking'.
"That's great. Let's leave this place for a few days and wait for the spring plowing to tear it down. In fact, not only children, but also adults are willing to play this kind of hide-and-seek game. In fact, it's a kind of mysterious feeling in an unknown place. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people exploring.
This year, I must dig out tunnels below. We can make cellars inside, and we can also go from one place to another without people outside seeing. Xiao Bao, how deep do you think we can dig? Can we connect the tunnels from Zhuangzi to Between the Clouds and the Water? "
Seeing that the children were playing happily, Wang Juan also became interested. She hid at a fork and scared the two children. After laughing, she told Zhang Xiaobao.
Zhang Xiaobao recalled that there were so many brothers and sisters who used to play hide-and-seek at night when it was a little dark. He smiled comfortably and said, "Who knows how deep we have to dig? It's probably not a small amount of work. Those emperors died, so the tombs they built should be deeper. Ask others and see how they dig. When the time comes, we can learn how to dig.
Let's go and play house. In fact, we don't have to play here. We came here to play house. It's their childhood. Let's try to let them have more happy memories. "
Wang Juan nodded and went forward first, humming a song. Zhang Xiaobao wrote the lyrics, "On the snow by the pond, the children are calling winter …"
Wang Juan went faster, as if she wanted to stay away from Zhang Xiaobao.
