Soon, Xu Jiushi came to Kaoshan Village with fifty or sixty people.
He said loudly, "The sweet potato seedlings are still in the field and need to be cut now. Come one by one according to the names I read out. As long as you register, you will definitely get sweet potato seedlings. Don't worry."
Mao Qiang asked people to bring in a few tables with many bowls on them, and also asked people to bring in a few buckets of porridge.
"Qingping Manor doesn't have anything good to offer you all. We've only prepared some rice porridge. Everyone can come and have two bowls. It's free!"
As soon as the wooden barrel was opened, the aroma of rice wafted out. Everyone immediately felt hungry and automatically lined up to get some rice porridge.
Wang Erqiang helped maintain order and pointed to two small huts in the distance. "That's the toilet. Go there to pee."
This time, Kang Yanshun also came. He drank a mouthful of rice porridge and asked Wang Erqiang, "When will the boss come?"
Wang Erqiang didn't recognize them and replied, "I didn't hear that the boss would come. For such a small matter, it's enough for the stewards to watch over it."
Hu Gui, who was wandering around, heard Kang Yanshun's question and said sarcastically, "With your ability, you think you can meet the boss? You're just dreaming!"
Kang Youzhao's face darkened and he said, "Big Brother, we're not talking to you. Please don't meddle in our business!"
"Who cares to meddle in your business? However, if you want to see the boss, it's not impossible. Just beg me, beg me, and I'll take you to see the boss."
Wang Erqiang looked Hu Gui up and down, "Who are you?"
"Humph! My last name is Hu, and I'm the uncle of Hu Dacheng and Hu Xiaocheng, who are close to the boss. Just say a word from me, and you can see the boss."
Kang Hong didn't want to cause trouble, so he bowed to Hu Gui and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but it's not necessary!"
"Don't disbelieve me, I'm telling the truth. Niu Dayan, the manager of Heshun Wharf, has to call me uncle when he sees me.
Just five taels of silver and I'll take you to see the master. When you see him, you can ask him for more sweet potato seedlings."
Everyone wanted more sweet potato seedlings. Wang Erqiang was afraid that Kang Hong and the others would be cheated, so he advised: "There are only so many sweet potato seedlings. They have all been ordered. The boss doesn't have any extra."
Hu Gui pushed Wang Erqiang and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? The boss is very powerful and has plenty of sweet potato seedlings."
"I'm not talking nonsense. The sweet potato seedlings I've cultivated are all in the fields. I patrol them every day. Could it be that the boss can just conjure them out of thin air? If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense!"
Hu Gui lost face and grabbed Wang Erqiang by the collar, "Boy, get out of here right now, or I'll tell the boss and have her kick you all out."
Kang Youzhao knew Wang Erqiang had good intentions, so he grabbed Hu Gui's hand and rescued Wang Erqiang. "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't bully the child! Besides, we can see the boss on our own if we want to. We don't need your help. Go!"
Hu Gui pointed at Kang Youzhao and taunted him, "You can see her yourself? Do you think the boss is your daughter? You can see her whenever you want. You're dreaming!"
Kang Youzhao was just about to say that even if she is not my daughter, she is almost the same as my daughter.
Before he could speak, a male voice came from behind him, "You can't see the boss just because you want to."
"Who? Oh, it's my nephew Xiaocheng. Xiaocheng, uncle misses you!"
Hu Xiaocheng dodged Hu Gui's hug and walked over to Kang Hong and said, "Grandpa Kang, the eldest lady asked me to take you to Qingping Village. She has prepared a yard for you to stay overnight. You can leave with the sweet potato seedlings tomorrow morning."
Kang Yanshun smiled and said, "Okay, okay, let's stay in Qingping Manor for one night."
Hu Gui stopped Hu Xiaocheng and said, "Xiaocheng, why don't you pay much attention to people? Who are they?"
Hu Xiaocheng's face immediately fell. "What's it to you? What are you doing here?"
"Why can't I come? I'm your uncle, is that how you talk to your elders?"
"Have you forgotten that you have sold me and my brother out? I have nothing to do with you now."
Hu Guicai didn't care about that. "Even if I sell you, we are still blood relatives."
"Who are we related by blood? From the day you sold me and my brother out, we've ceased to be related. Go away! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
Niu Hao and several villagers hurried over, "Hu Gui, you promised not to cause trouble."
Hu Gui was still a little afraid of Niu Hao, "Village Head, it's this little bastard..."
Niu Hao didn't want to lose face in front of Kang Hong again, so he quickly scolded Hu Gui, "Shut up! Get back here!"
Then he put on a kind face and said to Hu Xiaocheng, "Xiaocheng, why are you here? Where's your brother? Where's Dayan?"
"My brother is in Qingping Village. Big Brother Yan went to work at the dock. The girl asked me to come and pick up Grandpa Kang and his family back to the village."
Hu Gui squeezed over again, "Xiaocheng, take me to see the boss too. If the boss sees me, he will definitely let me be the manager. If I become the manager, I will definitely..."
Hu Xiaocheng snorted coldly, "I think you are the one who is dreaming. Don't say that I won't take you to see the boss. Even if I let you see him, the boss won't keep you."
Hu Gui had just boasted in front of everyone, and now that Hu Xiaocheng had exposed him, he immediately became furious and was about to kick him.
The spear in Hu Xiaocheng's hand was not to be trifled with. He hit Hu Gui's calf with the spear, causing him to scream in pain.
Both Dacheng and Xiaocheng admire Kang Yueran very much. Hu Dacheng does whatever Kang Yueran asks him to do; Hu Xiaocheng subconsciously imitates Kang Yueran, for example, he takes action when it is time to do so and never talks nonsense.
After beating the man, Hu Xiaocheng said to Kang Hong: "Grandpa Kang, call the villagers, let's go!"
Looking at the receding figure, Niu Hao sighed. Hu Xiaocheng's surname is Hu, and he is not on the same page with him after all. He still has to find Niu Dayan.
