Chapter 319 Wang Bin Returns to the City
As the three of them entered the door, they smelled the familiar aroma of rice, and Su He also smelled the aroma of fish soup.
She suddenly felt hungry and anxious, and Mu Tou had already prepared some water and was waiting for her.
"Sister, cousin, come and wash your hands and eat first. We have already heated the water for bathing. Sister, I have poured hot water into the bathtub for you. After you finish eating, go and take a rest."
This younger brother was not raised in vain. Su He washed his hands with Xiang Ji and rushed into the kitchen to eat.
Liu Bai not only served everyone's meal, but also thoughtfully poured a bowl of fish soup for each of the three people.
"Mu Tou and I have eaten first. You guys should finish these dishes and then go take a shower."
The three men didn't even have the strength to speak, and Wang Liang ate three bowls of rice before he felt alive again.
"Brother Bai, luckily I have you and Mu Tou. This hailstorm is killing people. I am so exhausted. My hands are all worn out."
Wang Liang showed everyone his palm, which was pierced by several wooden splinters.
Some places have turned purple.
"Tomorrow we will bring some cloth strips and wrap them around our hands. Liangzi already has a wound on his hand, so you must be careful tomorrow and don't touch anything that's stained with blood. It's easy to get infected."
Wang Liang became nervous when he heard this. He had only heard of infection with the plague, and infection was not a nice word.
Wang Zhi's arm was also scratched, and he was also very nervous at this moment.
"Sister Lotus, do you have any strips of cloth? We don't have any."
"I have it. I'll give it to you tomorrow. I'm full now. I'm going to take a shower first."
Su He hadn't felt this tired in a long time. He wanted to sleep after eating, but as he smelled the bad odor on his body, he could only resist the sleepiness and take a shower first.
Half an hour later, Su He fell asleep in bed in seconds.
When Wang Zhi and the other man saw Su He go into the house and sleep, they took a shower by the well in the dark.
Mu Tou stood solemnly at the door of his sister's room. He was afraid that his sister would come out suddenly and be dazzled by the two people standing by the well.
Even so, Mu Tou was still worried and urged the two of them from time to time.
"Just rinse it off. No one cares whether you rinse it clean or not."
Wang Zhi and Wang Liang looked at each other, then rushed towards Mu Tou with a sly grin. The two of them also lifted Mu Tou to the well to take a shower.
Mu Tou was caught off guard and drenched in the cold well water. Looking at his two hateful cousins, he began to fight back.
Liu Bai stood silently in front of Su He's door, watching the three people having a water fight.
After a while, the main door opened. The three people near the well didn't notice it. Liu Bai ran over quickly and saw that it was Wang Bin who came with a horse.
The first thing Wang Bin, who was covered in mud, said when he saw Liu Bai was.
"Xiaobai, is there anything to eat?"
Because the hail on the official road could not be cleared in time, it took Wang Bin twice as long to enter the city.
If Chuchu hadn't been worried that he was hungry and stuffed a bag of snacks into his pocket, he would have been unable to hold on.
"Yes, the steamed buns and meat will fill you up."
Wang Zhi and the other two saw their eldest brother coming back and greeted him happily in a low voice.
The three of them finally ended the fight. They went back to the house, changed their clothes, and then surrounded Wang Bin and chattered.
Su He, who had already fallen asleep, seemed to feel the joyful atmosphere in the yard and a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
The next morning, Su He saw Wang Bin coming out of the men's dormitory next door, and suddenly remembered that he had not told everyone about the promotion.
"Brother Bin, you've been promoted. After the summer harvest, you will be in charge of the 80 temporary workers. Magistrate Ge said you'll be the team leader. You decide who to appoint."
When these words were spoken, Wang Zhi and Wang Liang were both furious.
"Choose me, Brother Bing. I'm older than Liangzi. Let me go first."
Wang Liang was almost so angry at Wang Zhi's shameless remarks that he vomited blood. Why should he get promoted just because he is older?
"Bullshit, I'm much smarter than you. You should choose me first. If you don't believe me, ask Sister Lotus. I'm better than you in martial arts and I can ride a horse faster than you. I also ranked higher than you in this exam, so you should choose me."
The two people who had teamed up to tease Mu Tou yesterday suddenly started quarreling. Wang Bin had come to his senses by now, and he ended the fight with just one sentence.
"Stop arguing, let's be the team leader based on our strength."
Upon hearing this, Wang Liang looked at Wang Zhi proudly.
"Our group is Xu Wenzhuo. He ranked eighth in the last exam and is very skilled. He is better than both of you."
Now Wang Liang was dumbfounded. Why did his elder brother choose an outsider?
"We are promoted too quickly, which may easily make people jealous. If you two are really outstanding, it would be fine, but you are at most average in the temporary team, so we can't be too conspicuous."
Wang Bin explained to his two younger brothers, and Su He also felt the same way.
"Brother Bin is right. The magistrate asked Brother Bin to make his own decision. It's obvious that he wanted to test us. Neither of you can hold this position. You both need to work harder in the future. If you can improve your abilities, you will have a bright future."
Su He gently comforted her two younger brothers. Wang Zhi and Wang Liang were not the kind of people who would not listen to advice. After a while, they went to the kitchen to drink porridge as if nothing had happened.
"Brother Bai, put more meat buns in my cloth bag. I want to treat myself."
Wang Zhi picked up the steamed bun and started to eat it, looking at the vicious look, he seemed still a little unconvinced.
After everyone finished breakfast, Su He took out the prepared strips of cloth from the house and distributed a lot to everyone.
Everyone helped each other to bandage their hands, and then they left with a large bag of cloth strips. These were made of defective cloth that Su He and others bought while building the boat.
After settling in Qingshan Village, Zhou and his people used most of the silk to make clothes. In the end, there were only two pieces left, which Su He found an opportunity to store in his space. They were bought at a low price in the first place, so he didn't feel bad about using them now.
The four of them went to the market together. This time, since Wang Bin was in charge of the entire temporary worker team, everyone could get a few strips of cloth.
Everyone thanked with a smile and started to busy themselves with tidying up.
Another day passed quickly, and the dock was finally cleaned up. Wang Zhi looked at the newly renovated dock and felt very proud.
"Look, I did all this. I even cleaned up the small sawdust. Who can beat me?"
"Silly!"
Wang Liang rolled his eyes at Wang Zhi and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Su He looked speechlessly at the proud young man. He didn't know who brainwashed him. Why did this guy look a little silly?
This reminded her of when she was a child and her teacher praised her for washing the mop so cleanly, she was so excited that she was so happy even though her hands were frozen red from washing the mop in the middle of winter.
Thinking about it now, it was really stupid. Su He looked at the silly and cute Wang Zhi as if she was looking at herself when she was a child.
"Yes, you clean the cleanest. By the way, starting tomorrow you will be in charge of killing chickens and fish. I know you are the most diligent person in our family."
After Su He finished speaking, she turned around and went home. She was old and could not compare to these young people. She had to go back quickly to eat and sleep.
Wang Zhi felt dizzy when he thought about the blood that would be seen when killing a chicken.
"No, Sister Hehua, I don't want to kill the chicken. Ask Wang Liang to do it. He likes to do this the most."
Wang Liang went up and kicked him, cursing under his breath.
"You bastard, stop mentioning me. I'm not afraid of blood. Sister Lotus asked you to do it, so you better behave yourself. I will supervise you from now on."
Wang Bin bypassed his two younger brothers and quickly caught up with Su He. The two talked about the reasons for their promotions and discussed their next plans.
