The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man-Chapter 149 - 145: Wen Ran: Winter Has Passed, Spring Has Come, and I’m Still a Proud Pig Farmer!
In the captain’s plan, he wished he could go to the county town today to get some red cloth, and work overtime at night to set up the wedding hall.
The next morning, let the young couple get their marriage certificate, have the banquet at noon, go through the ceremony in the afternoon, and enter the bridal chamber at night.
A whole set, all done.
Of course, he was just thinking about it. He didn’t dare to say it. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
This person next to him isn’t easy to deal with, a matter of a hand’s gesture can cause an explosion.
"Alright!" The captain took charge, "I’m telling you, there’s absolutely no problem with this, I’ll handle it."
"Done."
With the captain’s words, Mrs. Xiao left the gift and had already gone home to prepare the obvious things.
The golden necklace was ready, but taking it out now would purely be asking for trouble.
She was mentally listing what needed to be prepared.
On the other hand, the ice and snow completely melted.
Spring has arrived.
Spring plowing is the beginning of the year.
It’s the top priority. Everyone in the Silly Deer Team is quite efficient during this winter break. Not to mention how much weight they’ve gained, at the very least their faces are rosier, and they have the strength to work.
Turning the soil, composting, fortifying the land, these are the things the members of the Silly Deer Team have to do, early morning and late night.
Of course, led by Bao Wenxuan, a few lovely young girls were overjoyed to see the little gray ducks go into the water.
In the future, they don’t have to go into the fields. They just need to let the ducks out, and while they’re out, dig a few worms, catch some small fish, shrimp, and snails to treat the ducks. It’s sorted.
This job isn’t very light, but compared to working in the fields, it’s blissful beyond measure.
For this job, a few troublemakers from the Knowledge Youth Courtyard specifically went to the captain and caused a scene, accusing him of favoritism, giving the good job to Bao Wenxuan and not them.
They certainly didn’t think there was anything wrong with themselves, putting all the blame on Bao Wenxuan and the captain.
They confidently asserted that the two must have some shady dealings under the table.
If it wasn’t a bribe, then Bao Wenxuan must be shameless...
Before finishing, the captain exploded, not only jumping up and cursing, but also raising a chair, threatening to fight the people from the Knowledge Youth Courtyard.
He’s of an age, his children have children, yet he has to be smeared like this.
The captain really let it go, crying out that even if he’s no longer the captain and ends up behind bars, he has to seek justice for himself.
If not for everyone holding him back, the captain would truly be aiming to strike the Knowledge Youth on the head with a hole.
In the end, things escalated, and Bao Wenxuan called the police, with the captain wailing about jumping into the river.
The police came, baffled, and had no option but to persuade, eventually criticizing and educating the Knowledge Youth.
Apologies were made, and each was fined ten eggs, with the captain and Bao Wenxuan each receiving five eggs. Only then was the matter settled.
Bao Wenxuan held the eggs, looking innocent.
Unbeknownst to her, just by calling the police, she gained five eggs to eat.
Hehehehe, made quite a profit.
...
Wen Family Courtyard.
Looking at her custom-made new desk and chair, Wen Ran nodded with satisfaction. The captain bragged on the side, "Oh my, just use this table, it’s quality.
It’s made from top-notch materials, impervious to wind or rain."
Wen Ran didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, seeing the boasting manner, anyone uninformed might think he made it.
Nonetheless, the desk and chair are indeed good items, and the craftsman was conscientious in his work, crafting them very meticulously.
Not only are the edges smooth without burrs, but the carpenter also has an aesthetic sense, refraining from painting it bright red, and instead applying a light coat of clear varnish that reveals the wood’s grain, making it quite beautiful!
"Thank you, Uncle," Wen Ran asked Hongguo to enter the room to get the money, "You really did me a big favor."
The desk and chair were expanded in length, size, and width, made for dual use. After crafting them, the craftsman uncle had leftover boards, so he went ahead and built a shelf, making placing books incredibly convenient.
For this, Wen Ran not only paid the afore-agreed wages but also gave an additional ten eggs, "Uncle, thank you so much."
The craftsman uncle was embarrassed to take them, "Didn’t take much effort, as much as deserved."
"Uncle, you earned this," Wen Ran smiled broadly, "Thanks for making us an extra bookshelf, we really like it."
The craftsman happily left with the eggs in hand.
This is all nourishment!
The captain is also quite busy, but reminded Wen Ran, "Behave yourself during this time, even if you want to stir things up, hold it in!"
Wen Ran: "...Uncle, I don’t create trouble without reason."
True enough.
"Alright, don’t slack off during this time, you’re counted on for the thirty pigs the team is raising."
Wen Ran kept a stiff face, "Goodbye, don’t see you out."
So annoying!
She has become a woman surrounded by pigs!
The captain wasn’t angry either, laughed heartily, and left, not forgetting to praise Wen Ran before leaving, "You should know, the method you used before, it works!"
"Huh?"
The captain winked, "Crying, making scenes, and threatening, works great!"
"Tch~"
When facing a rambling opponent, as long as you’re unreasonable, you’ve certainly won.
After the captain left, Wen Ran returned to the room, Hongguo had already placed all kinds of books carefully, sorted and tidy.
"Sis~"
Hongguo saw Wen Ran enter the room, eyes red, whining softly and acting spoiled, "Sis, you’re the best to me."
"Just study well."
"Mm!" Hongguo promised, she will definitely study well.
Lately, she’s been helping out often at Sister Xiao Fang’s house, seeing villagers regularly bringing things to Sister Xiao Fang’s.
Initially, she wondered why, but later understood, these are people who have benefited from Sister Xiao Fang’s kindness, everyone remembers it.
Hongguo thinks she wants to become a great doctor like Sister Xiao Fang, save many people, earn lots of money, and give it all to her sister!
Hongguo’s progress amazed Xiao Chenxing; she loves studying inherently, coupled with her cleverness, whatever she learns, she masters quickly.
She recognizes characters, progressing from basic mountain and water to more complex things.
Even if there’s something she doesn’t know, Chen Wan gifted her two reference books, once she learned to use pinyin to look up in the dictionary, she soaked up knowledge like a sponge put in water.
She now recognizes common characters and can understand some simple articles.
Merely reading books is not enough.
Wen Ran is contemplating, once there’s free time, to go on a trip to the county with the team’s ox-cart.
head to the recycling station to get some old newspapers, whether for wall covering or character recognition.
Last time Wen Ran wanted to go, but it wasn’t convenient, Mrs. Xiao was on it, grinning as she went to get gifts for her.
Wen Ran could only give up helplessly.
As for why things are delayed, one dragging another...
That must be blamed on Xiao Chenye, this rascal, back for only two days, a task from the county came again, tempted by high pay, he rushed over as soon as called.
This mediation certainly requires both parties present, therefore the time had to be slightly postponed.
It happened that the day the desk was moved back, the next day an ox-cart was going to the county.
The sisters wore warm clothes and took the ox-cart to the county.
At that time, Zhou Wei could no longer hold back.
