By the time the foundation of Erlaizi's house was dug, three more days had passed.
Rumors were spreading in the village, and the 38 families began to look sad and prepared for the worst.
Zhao Wei and his friends usually just eat melons and listen to the fun. They don't participate in the discussion and just do their own work.
On this day, when we were preparing to spread lime in the mud, we saw Captain Zhou coming over alone.
He finally managed to push his way through the crowd and pull Zhao Wei out while he was working.
"Tsk tsk... I have already put your reward in Xiangyang Commune. There are already four red books for you there. The honors you have earned in just one month are almost as much as I have earned in five years of work."
Fortunately, this kid is not in the same industry as him, otherwise, with the other party's excellent abilities, he would have been reduced to scraps.
Zhao Wei chuckled: "I'm a farmer, these honors can't make me a living. The most I can get is a free ride. That's it... I'm often caught by other passengers and accused of evading fares, tsk tsk..."
It's useless, it just makes your reputation sound better.
Captain Zhou chuckled and said, "That's not necessarily true. Your president has reached retirement age, and the higher-ups will consider training a new president."
"As for the personnel, they will be selected from the ten captains of your village."
Zhao Wei was stunned when he heard this: "Yes, everyone has been spreading this message. There is no problem with this. We have already been prepared."
Although those ten captains each had their own shortcomings and deficiencies, they had done some practical work during their years in office. Everyone loved them very much, and no matter who came to power, they would get supporters.
"Hehe... But the conditions this year are a bit harsh. I heard that a cultural assessment is required. Only if you meet the requirements, you will be qualified."
As a person sitting in the top position, it is too much if he can't even understand a document and needs his subordinates to read it to him.
"Well... I'm afraid the ten captains are... hehe..."
It seems that these ten captains are in trouble. They are so praised that they keep trying to curry favor with Captain Zhou and ask him to help them.
There are even a few who have already started lobbying members of various groups in the village to vote for them during the election.
Unexpectedly, they were all banished to the cold palace after just one cultural test.
"In our village, only the accountant and the late village chief can read and punctuate. The others are too lazy to even attend literacy classes. It's better to expect monkeys to talk than to expect them to be educated."
"So, I am very optimistic. If you can stand out at that time, you will definitely be able to stand out and get promoted steadily."
Zhao Wei waved his hands and said, "Forget it. Sitting in this position, the responsibility is too heavy. I am just a carefree countryman. I don't have such great ambitions to pursue a career in politics."
After becoming the president, I will become the mayor of the town, and then the mayor of the township...
Climb step by step to the position of county magistrate?
Just thinking about it makes him feel that such a life is too depressing. How can it be as exciting as running freely in the mountains and forests?
Captain Zhou could see that Zhao Wei was really not interested.
While others are trying their best to get in, he avoids it like the plague. He is also a young man with a lot of ideas.
It's hard to be unhappy when getting along with such a person who has no ambition for fame.
Unfortunately, he was busy with many things and didn't have much time to communicate. After saying hello, he left in a hurry without even having time to drink a sip of water.
Zhao Wei looked at his receding figure, was stunned for a moment, and then continued with the work in his hands.
That night, when the family was sleeping soundly, the sound of running feet was heard at the door.
Zhao Wei jumped up immediately, put on his clothes and rushed out.
The second beggar seemed to be fast asleep and did not react at all to the noise.
Yunxiu breathed out cold air, moved closer to Zhao Wei and poked her head outside.
"Honey, what happened? Are those people who went down the mountain back?"
"Well, if nothing unexpected happens, I'm back."
It was at this time that two of the four disciples came together and hurriedly reported the situation to him.
"Master, I saw them. There are 38 of them, including the hunter. Not one is missing. It's amazing that they all came back."
"Humph! They are all lucky. Not a single one of them was injured. But, the most important thing is that our Master's wife guessed right. These people didn't catch any prey. Hahahaha..."
After nine days in the mountains, they not only suffered from the cold, but also didn't catch any prey. It would have been better if they had just taken a casual trip up the mountain and gained more.
Although the two disciples lost, they were happy in their hearts and could not bear to see the villain gain an advantage.
After watching the excitement for a while, Zhao Wei sent his two apprentices home to sleep and closed the door. Then he picked up Yunxiu and walked into the house.
"Why are you holding me? It's not like I can't walk. Put me down now!"
Being held like this, with the two of us so close, it was a bit embarrassing.
Fortunately, no one saw it at the moment, otherwise, she would be too embarrassed to see anyone.
"Hehe... I have to do 1,000 squats, two hours of running, and frog jumps."
"It's better to do it now than to choose a day. I, your husband, am a man of my words."
Yunxiu had a bad feeling and refused directly.
"Hiss... no need for that... this is just a joke... stop messing around, it's late at night..."
"If I do it now, I don't have to do it during the day. Do you want me to not be able to do it during the day?"
"You... oh..."
Why does this sound more and more wrong the more I listen to it?
Huff huff huff…
The next day.
When Yunxiu appeared with a pair of dark circles under her eyes, Wang Caigu was shocked.
"Girl, did you go out to steal last night?"
Yunxiu glared at her with some resentment: "Mom, such a big thing happened at the foot of the mountain last night, but I didn't even wake you up!"
Wang Caigu explained a little embarrassedly: "It's just because I'm tired from work. I'm not as old as you young people. My old bones are almost falling apart!"
In fact, I just helped to light the fire and boil some hot water, but it was a fact that Wang Caigu slept very soundly last night, and she was also quite surprised.
My sleep quality has improved a lot recently.
If it were in the past, she would be full of worries, unable to sleep all night, and her black hair would have turned white long ago. After all, she looked old before she was even fifty years old.
She is like this, and so is Zhao Yong, as the head of the family.
Now I feel relaxed and healthy, and my spirits are lifted.
Er Laizi stretched lazily at this time and asked in confusion.
"So, did the betting last night come to a conclusion? With so many of us, who won?"
Yunxiu grinned and said, "Of course it's me. So, can you start your performance?"
"hiss……"
