Chapter 70 Cuckoo Machine
Ding Xiaodie couldn't help rolling her eyes, Dad, can you please stop making trouble?
Others don't know her real age, but doesn't he know it?
As they were talking, Miao Daxing came over with a few hooligans from the Miao family to sign up. Miao Ba's eyes met with Ding Gui's father and daughter, and he quickly looked away.
He felt guilty, but he would never appreciate this favor.
Fortunately, with Ding Gui's reminder, Lai Fu was now fully prepared for them to sign up: "Daxing, you see, almost all the men in the village signed up right away. I've already made the assignments, and those who will be sent to the Lu family have already been decided. So, the city gates and protecting the streets are the top priorities, and I'll leave this area to you."
"What?"
When Miao Daxing saw Ding Rong trying to win him over, he said that if he did a good job, Mr. Lu would reward him when he came back.
He hesitated for a while before agreeing, but his mind was not drawn to the small reward, but rather to his desire to keep a close eye on the Lu family. Unexpectedly, he heard that they were going to be sent to guard the city gate.
"Then I quit!"
Miao Daxing's first reaction was to turn around and leave.
The others wanted to follow, but Lai Fu quickly stopped them: "Daxing, listen to me, it doesn't matter where you guard. Guard the streets and the city gates. When Mr. Lu comes back, the first thing he sees will be you. Besides, your family will be under his nose too. That's a great thing."
"You say it's nice to say that we can win credit for defending the Lu family, but we may not."
"You're wrong. The Lu family's courtyard is surrounded by a flat stone path. In other words, there's no place to cool down. In this scorching heat, who would be willing to risk their life for such a reward?"
Lai Fu lowered his voice when speaking these words, making it seem as if everything was for the other party's good. After he finished speaking, he whispered, "You can guard the city gates and streets. And if you do a good job, I will find no other way when the time comes."
"What can we do?" Miao Daxing agreed in his heart that it was hard to guard the Lu family. There was indeed no cool place there. These wealthy families were worried that thieves would climb in through the big trees outside the courtyard wall, so they almost cut down all the trees near the wall.
Lai Fu looked around and said, "Didn't you say that guarding the Lu family would earn you credit? Then when Mr. Lu comes back, I'll switch with you. You guard the Lu family, and I'll guard the city gate."
Miao Daxing glared at Lai Fu and asked, "Are you willing to give me this opportunity?"
Lai Fu patted his shoulder: "Of course, don't worry!"
After being talked around by Village Chief Lai Fu, Miao Daxing actually agreed to guard the streets and city gates without even realizing it.
Until Miao Wang asked him: "Brother, if we can't even get close to the Lu family, how can we go..."
As he spoke, he made a chopping motion with his hand.
Miao Daxing quickly pressed his hand down. He told Miao Wang about his thoughts. He didn't expect that this kid could not control his temper.
"Calm down, we have so much time, we can think of a solution slowly." Miao Daxing also knew that things were bad and Lai Fu had tricked him, but for now he could only pretend that everything was normal.
After hearing his words, Miao Wang scratched his head and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
…
The men in Aozigou were finally divided into two groups.
One team was sent to guard the Lu family, and another team was stationed on the streets and at the city gate.
In short, the other elderly, weak, women and children felt very relieved.
Every day at mealtime, the women in the family would bring food to the men. It was so lively.
But the most important thing right now is that the water supply in every household is getting less and less. In some families, adults dare not drink water at all. If they are really thirsty, they will just take a small sip. The remaining water is given to the children.
As for sweet potatoes, just roast them if you can. Who would waste water by boiling or steaming them?
Ding Xiaodie knew that even if the situation in the village was bad, she could no longer provide water secretly, because after a long time, everyone would suspect where she got the water, and it was such clear and sweet water.
We have to find a solution, and it’s urgent.
When she was alone in the room, Ding Xiaodie went into the space to take a look and returned the bottle of water she had given her before. She now had five buckets of water and a small bag of flour in her storage room.
At this time, a string of red words flashed on the screen: The master has made suggestions, and there are rewards in the space. Press the lucky button to get an unexpected surprise.
After he finished speaking, a large turntable flashed on the TV screen. There were various things marked on the turntable, one of which was "Thank you for your participation."
Oh my god!
Ding Xiaodie suddenly felt a lot of pressure. If she drew the lottery to express her gratitude for participating, wouldn’t it be a waste of this good opportunity?
However, the system did not give her too much time to hesitate, but started spinning the dial directly, and the colorful cursor kept jumping.
Helpless, Ding Xiaodie had to press the pause button on the remote control.
beep!
The turntable stopped, and the cursor also stopped suddenly, and colorful lights flashed around the column that was turned.
"Thirty grams of salt, a cuckoo machine, congratulations on winning the grand prize."
Ding Xiaodie was dumbfounded: "..."
Of course she wants salt, but only 30 grams, isn't that too stingy?
As for what the Cuckoo Machine is, there's no picture, and there's a huge prize, making it seem like she got a huge bargain.
However, having suffered a few losses before, she knew that this system was not just cunning, so she said with a grateful look, "Thank you!" She then asked, "By the way, we've known each other for so long. What's your name? Do you have a name? I always speak directly to you, and it feels so rude!"
A sweating sketch immediately flashed across the TV screen: "I don't have a name."
"Then I'll give you a name. You can be called Xiao Ding from now on, okay? It happens to be the same pronunciation as my last name."
"Xiao Ding."
"Yes, you call me Master, so I should give you a name, otherwise I will feel bad."
“…”
The system typed out a crying expression. The master really cared about him, and he was so touched.
Ding Xiaodie laughed and said, "Thank you, Xiaoding."
I thought to myself, little bastard, just wait and see how I’m going to deal with you. Today I’ve given you a name, and from now on I’ll truly be your master.
Without saying much, he quickly turned around and looked at the shelves.
Sure enough, I saw a small bag of salt weighing 30 grams, which was thoughtfully wrapped in 4A paper. In addition, there was a small iron stirrer with a stirring handle and a base at the bottom. Looking up, there was a shape that looked very similar to a snail. The stirring handle was installed on the snail-shaped shell, and where the snail head should have been, there was an empty aluminum alloy pipe.
Hey, what on earth is this cuckoo machine?
Just when she wanted to turn the handle to take a look, the system directly ejected her, but this time it was much gentler. She did not fall flat on her face, but stood safely in her room with the cuckoo machine in her arms.
