Chapter 165: A Thousand Miles in One Day
Although the passage of this hurricane was short, the wind and waves were high and the waves were deep and the power was very terrifying.
The newly built stone embankment in Kunshan is unmoving, and Kunbei is safe and sound!
The news spread, and the morale of the whole county was greatly boosted!
The next day, the rain stopped a little, and the people couldn't hold back their enthusiasm to return to work.
The men, led by the lieutenant chief, rushed to their respective sections. They're going to make up for what they've missed in the last two days!
The old men, women and half-grown children also hurriedly rowed out of the city in the drizzle and marched along the Lou River to the west mountain!
Plenty of stone on the construction site, it's up to them to make sure of it!
And this time there are more than 10,000 people than before; There are a thousand more ships out of the city than before!
It was the people of Kunshan who rushed back from various counties to support, which made the manpower that Kunshan Development Company could deploy completely abundant!
The progress of the embankment is rapid day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it is the end of July, and the day when the various sections are about to be closed.
~~
It was already in the middle of the ambush, the sky was stuffy and hot, and the people on the trees were screaming and screaming.
Zhao Gongzi was wearing a red sleeveless gown on his upper body, a pair of blue sparse gauze shorts on his lower body, and a pair of black-belted clogs under his feet.
He also wore a yellow straw hat with a red ribbon around his head.
He carried a small wooden barrel with a lid in his hand, and walked into Nanshan Temple with a lazy expression.
The soldiers guarding the gate of the temple were accustomed to the way he had been dressed like a peasant boy recently, and hurriedly saluted the Yanai.
"Childe came to see the eldest master again?"
"Hehe, yes." Zhao Hao greeted them kindly and walked into the temple.
Glancing at the Daxiong Treasure Hall where his father was, he turned around and entered the West Side Hall.
This made Second Master Zhao, who was waiting for his son's condolences in the treasure hall, feel a lot more difficult to breathe.
"This stinky boy goes very diligently!"
"My brother should be happy, this means that my nephew has grown up." Fan Datong smiled and comforted: "Come, let's go." ”
"Hey, you don't understand ......" Second Master Zhao shook his head, feeling that his head was as big as a fight.
~~
Zhao Hao didn't know that he had broken his old father's heart, so he walked to the door of the West Side Hall and knocked on the open door.
Then he lifted the blue curtain and stepped inside.
Jiang Xueying was sitting behind the table, quickly dialing the abacus in front of the account book.
She has people coming and going here, so naturally she can't dress coolly like Zhao Hao. is still wearing a pink gown embroidered with light purple irises on the collar, a white pleated skirt, and a white beaded hairpin on her head, meticulously dressed as a lady.
But seeing that she was holding Luo Pa in her hand, Xiao Yun'er was still fanning her from the side, obviously hot enough.
Seeing Zhao Hao coming in, Jiang Xueying stopped settling accounts and got up to greet him, and said softly:
"Brother should come back when the heat is over."
"I'm okay with that." Zhao Hao took off his straw hat with a smile, and while the wind flickered, he put the small wooden barrel on the table:
"Condolences, eat it quickly, otherwise it will melt."
"Thank you, brother." Jiang Xueying smiled sweetly, opened the barrel, and a chill came to her face.
She saw that the barrel was filled with ice, and in the ice lay several silver bowls with their lids fastened.
"Is it a smoothie?" Jiang Xueying curiously picked up a silver bowl, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and put it on her forehead to cool herself.
"Just open it and see." Zhao Hao said as he helped her open a silver bowl, which was filled with a pure white creamy cold drink, and sprinkled a little raisins for decoration.
"What is it?" Jiang Xueying blinked her eyes and asked in a coquettish voice.
"This is the Gu family's crisp mountain handed down from their ancestors, so didn't Gu Dadong give it to you to eat?" Zhao Hao pulled out a cold silver spoon from the bucket.
"No, I don't." Jiang Xueying shook her head and took the silver spoon handed over by Zhao Hao.
"This old man is quite exquisite." Zhao Hao smiled and said: "This is what I have made Qiaoqiao improve, try it quickly, whether it is delicious or not." ”
"Hmm." Jiang Xueying bowed slightly, scooped a spoonful and sent it to her mouth, and was immediately conquered by the cold, smooth, sweet and refreshing taste. With a light in her eyes, she sighed softly and said, "I feel like I'm going to cool off." ”
"Of course." Zhao Hao said with a smile: "There is no ice cream in summer, how can you be in a good mood." ”
"Send two to Uncle Shi to taste." Jiang Xueying immediately ordered Xiao Yun'er to swallow saliva secretly.
"It's still a thoughtful girl." Zhao Hao couldn't help but be embarrassed, and he hadn't given his father a taste yet.
~~
In the Daxiong Treasure Palace, Zhao Shouzheng was drinking with Fan Datong to cool off.
With the completion of the project, the cooperation of various departments has been very skillful, and the morale has risen to the extreme.
Now Zhao Erye walks around the embankment every day, but it has a negative effect. Because when the people saw him, they would excitedly drop the work at hand, gather around him to kowtow, and listen to his nonsense, which seriously affected the construction progress.
In the end, Pan Jitao ordered him to stay in Nanshan Temple honestly, and he was not allowed to go up the embankment without special circumstances.
Zhao Shouzheng finally calmed down, and he still had time to drink a little wine every day.
"Alas......" Zhao Shouzheng held the wine cup and sighed, as if there were other emotions in it.
"Why does my brother sigh? But today's dishes are too tired? Fan Datong asked with a quick wink.
"No, it's suddenly idle, and I'm still uncomfortable." Zhao Shouzheng moved his arms and said: "Lao Tzu was so idle every day, why didn't he feel uncomfortable?" ”
"Brother, people change." Fan Datong smiled and poured him wine and said, "I'm used to being idle." ”
"Hahaha, that makes sense." Second Master Zhao smiled and touched a glass with him, and just as he was about to drink it, he saw Miss Jiang's maid come in and offer the two silver bowls, and after explaining the reason, he retired.
Fan Datong never knew what politeness was, so when he gave Zhao Shouzheng one, he picked up the other one, scooped a spoonful and ate it.
"Well, it's delicious." Fan Datong praised without saying anything, and said to Zhao Shouzheng: "Brother, try it, it's really boring." ”
"Oh, really?" When Zhao Shouzheng heard this, he also dug a spoonful and tasted it, and also praised it: "It's delicious, it's delicious!" ”
Halfway through eating, he put down the ice cream bowl again. "The stinky boy made something delicious, if you don't give it to yourself first, you have to let someone give it to me."
"Oh, brother, I can't eat this vinegar." Fan Datong persuaded: "The future daughter-in-law is so filial, you should be happy." ”
"Don't talk nonsense about this in the future." Zhao Shouzheng whispered to him.
"What's the matter, my brother is dissatisfied with Miss Jiang?" Fan Datong couldn't help but be surprised: "Such a good-looking and capable daughter-in-law, there is nowhere to find it with a lantern." ”
"Hmm. The niece of the Jiang family is indeed one in a million. Zhao Shouzheng smiled bitterly and said: "But in this matter, I don't count if I say it, and even my son doesn't count it." ”
"You have the final say, it's not simpler." Fan Datong said with a smile: "This is his granddaughter-in-law in person." ”
Second Master Zhao hugged his arms and said with a sad face: "The problem is, what the old man said, it may not be counted." ”
"Oh, got it!" Fan Datong slapped his head. "How did I forget that!"
