067: Sure enough, she tricked me

Xu Yingdao:

"I wonder if there's a razor on the yacht. I think you need to shave that stubble on your face."

"Why?"

"-----It pricks you, and it makes you look old. You're only forty-six, but you look fifty-six or sixty-six!"

Yu Jiahui touched his stubble in the mirror, feeling very reluctant:

"Forget it. I think this beard is quite manly. I quite like my current look. Don't you think I look a bit rough and sexy? I see many people in the team don't shave their beards very often. Look at Captain Yang with his full beard. He looks like Lu Zhishen, so domineering! If I shave my beard, I might end up looking like a pretty boy."

Xu Ying almost spit out a mouthful of blood:

"Just you? A pretty boy?! You're just an old villain at best!"

Yu Jiahui: “——” If things are tough, why bother?

In the end, the old dark-faced Yu Jiahui managed to keep his face full of stubble.

The next day, Xu Ying went to work instead of Yu Jiahui as usual.

Yu Xiaoye still cooked two more eggs for his mother, tied the enamel water cup to her belt, and temporarily sewed a simple fingerless glove with the piece of leftover cloth he bought from the county town so that Xu Ying's palms would not be rubbed too badly when holding the shovel.

Yu Jiahui saw his daughter taking good care of her mother and couldn't help but praise her:

"They say girls are like little cotton-padded jackets, they are so careful. Why didn't I think of sewing a pair of gloves like this?"

Xu Ying looked proud:

"That's right, our baby is still considerate!"

After Xu Ying went to work, Yu Jiahui and his daughter Yu Xiaoye began to plan today's work.

They still have a lot to do.

This house is far from being habitable.

The roof fence has been completed, but it still needs to be covered with a layer of rainproof material.

There were no tiles, as they were very precious. In the company, only the brick and tile houses in the offices could use tiles. Ordinary people's houses were covered with straw.

There is a kind of "thatch grass" in the Great Northern Wilderness. This grass is very long, about 70 to 80 centimeters, and is corrosion-resistant. It can be used to cover the roof to prevent rain and keep warm.

They had to find out if there was any ready-made grass in the company.

Also, the house is almost repaired, and other people in the company seem to be less afraid of this courtyard. Maybe they will come to visit one day, so they need to repair the collapsed fence wall. At least there will be a shelter to stop people. Otherwise, what if others enter the house without any obstruction and find the flaw?

The father and son discussed it and decided that it was more important to repair the fence first.

Other work can be done at the same time.

To work, you need tools.

But they have nothing and have to borrow everything.

If you want to borrow something, you have to go through Lao Wu, the warehouse keeper.

But this man was so stubborn and difficult to talk to that neither of them wanted to deal with him, so Yu Xiaoye shamelessly went to Jia Song for help.

If you want something, ask Jia Song to help you borrow it.

Because Jia Song was thinking about Yu Xiaoye's two programs, he had to obey the little girl's orders and go to Lao Wu to borrow things in person.

After giving the borrowed items to Yu Xiaoye, Jia Song took the opportunity to threaten her:

"You still owe me two programs. Don't just focus on your work and forget about them. May Day is just a few days away. Hurry up and prepare the programs for me. I need to inspect them first. If you don't give them to me, I won't help you borrow things anymore."

Yu Xiaoye picked up the tools, such as the hatchet, hammer, and pliers, and smiled at Jia Song:

"Don't worry, Jia Ge, I promise nothing will go wrong."

Jia Song looked at the mischievous little girl and felt uneasy. He wanted to prevent her from being tricked by him. He quickly blocked her way and issued an ultimatum:

"No, you must perform another show for me today."

Yu Xiaoye was anxious to go back to work, so he made an excuse:

"That show can't be performed by one person, it takes two people!"

"Two people? What kind of show requires two people? Tell me first."

Yu Xiaoye was a little panicked. She didn't know what kind of program it was, but since she had come to this point, she could only continue with the story:

"It's a short play."

"What kind of skit?"

"That's right, that's right-----"

What is it? She herself doesn’t know!

Jia Song looked at the little girl's wandering eyes, crossed his arms and asked coldly:

"Are you trying to trick me? Don't forget what you said. If you can't do what you said, I'll get someone to tear down your roof again. Don't think I don't dare."

Yu Xiaoye rolled his eyes, and suddenly an idea struck him. He smiled again, raised his little face and said:

"Brother Jia, I need you to cooperate with me in this little skit."

"What?!" She really tricked me!

"I can't act alone, you have to cooperate with me."

"I-----!"

"If you don't cooperate with me, don't blame me for not keeping my word."

After saying that, Yu Xiaoye picked up the tools, turned around and left.

Hehe, I told you to give me a difficult problem in public last night, so let’s return the favor, it’s fair and just!

After she had walked quite a distance away, Jia Song shouted in exasperation:

"Look for someone else to help you perform a short line, don't look for me!"

Yu Xiaoye said without turning his head:

"No, there's no one idle in the company. They're all working in the fields. You're the only one who has time."

"Yu! Xiao! Ye!"

Yu Xiaoye leisurely returned home with the borrowed tools and started to repair the fence with Yu Jiahui.

While repairing the wall, I was planning the program of the short play that had just suddenly popped up in my mind.

If Jia Song hadn't stopped her, she really wouldn't have come up with this brilliant idea.

She asked Yu Jiahui:

"Dad, do you still remember

Is that the skit with Uncle Benshan and Aunt Dandan?

"Which one are you talking about?"

"Some people spend money on food and drinks, some spend money on song requests, and I'm just chatting with them today."

"Oh," Yu Jiahui pondered for a moment and suddenly remembered, "a part-time worker!"

"Oh, yes, it's a part-time job. Do you still remember the content and the lines?"

"Remember, Dad always loved watching the skits they performed, especially the one about the hourly worker, it was the most classic!"

Yu Xiaoye smiled and said:

"Dad, tell me about that skit tonight and I'll write it down and make a short play based on it."

"What are you going to do?"

"Hey, didn't I promise Secretary Jia that I would provide him with two programs? One is a song and dance, and the other is a skit that I plan to perform."

Yu Jiahui was surprised:

"Is this possible? Don't act recklessly, it's risky!"

"I know. I'll change it to fit the context of this era. Besides, it's just a performance here at the company, not outside, so it's not a big deal. I won't make a big deal out of it. I'll just do it for fun."

Her main purpose was to let Secretary Jia come out and show off his talents. Otherwise, would Secretary Jia really treat her as a soft persimmon?

Yu Jiahui asked again:

"It takes two people to perform that skit. Who are you going to find as your partner?"

"Who should I look for? Of course I should look for Secretary Jia. Everyone else is working in the fields, so how can they have time?"

Yu Xiaoye couldn't help but frown:

My daughter, and that Secretary Jia - is he being too suspicious or what?
