Xie Wenwu brought back a whole box of pastries. The top layer was from Ma's shop, and the ones underneath were made by Xie Wenwu himself.
Xiaobao put his little head on the table, took a sip and said, "It smells so good!"
It’s been a long time since we had fresh pastries at home.
Song Yuehua opened a bag of mung bean cakes, stuffed a piece into each of the two children's mouths and said, "Put this in the cupboard, and eat a piece when you want to, okay?"
Xiao Bao shook his head and said, "Big sister, I will always want to eat it."
Dabao also said, "Sister, I always want to eat it too."
"Then each person can eat two pieces a day, no more." Song Yuehua said helplessly.
Song Yuehua tried another piece made by Xie Wenwu. The taste was almost the same, but she always felt that there was a slight difference. It was not the sweetness or the taste. She couldn't tell what was wrong.
After dinner, Song Yuehua handed the drawings that Xie Feng gave her to Duan Yidao. Just when she was about to ask what it was, she saw Duan Yidao suddenly stand up and leave without saying a word.
Song Yuehua, "..."
After a while, Duan Yidao came back with a serious look on his face, "This is a crossbow. If you make this kind of thing privately, you will be beheaded. Why would Xie Hunter give you this kind of thing?"
"Bed crossbow..."
Song Yuehua remembered that she seemed to have seen a documentary about this.
Duan Yidao nodded and said, "This has a strong killing power. We may not be able to use it here. If someone finds out, it will be a capital crime. I think we should..."
Song Yuehua pinched her chin and said calmly, "Don't be so cowardly. Since we have the blueprint, let's get it out. It's better to be prepared. When we really need it, the government won't be able to kill me."
At this point, Song Yuehua sighed helplessly, "According to this blueprint, can you do it by yourself?"
"No, there are other iron pieces here," Duan Yidao said, "We have to ask Zhao the blacksmith for help."
Song Yuehua nodded and said, "I'll go talk to him."
Duan Yidao drew the drawings of the iron parts separately. By the time Song Yuehua and Duan Yidao arrived at Zhu's house, it was already very late.
"Uncle Zhao, I would like you to make a few things." Song Yuehua handed over the drawings.
Duan Yidao sat aside and explained to Zhao the blacksmith.
Blacksmith Zhao now has a thin face and appears to be taciturn every time he meets him.
"Sure." said Blacksmith Zhao.
Song Yuehua looked at him and said, "Uncle Zhao, this thing is extraordinary and needs to be kept secret. You can live in the compound and slowly figure it out. What do you think?"
Blacksmith Zhao nodded expressionlessly.
Song Yuehua, Duan Yidao, "..."
If we want to keep it secret, we have to ask everyone in the compound to move out first.
Niu Cai, Tian Duo and other three all rented a house in the village with their families. Now there are five people living in the compound, namely Liu Xue, Grandma Lan, Wen Xiaohua, Ding Cuigu and Yao Er.
It just so happened that there were several kang rooms in the school that were empty, so they could move here.
After leaving Zhu's house, Song Yuehua went straight to the courtyard. At this time, almost everyone was asleep.
After calling them over, Song Yuehua said without further ado, "Tomorrow is the New Year. After the first day of the new year, Aunt Wen, Aunt Ding, and Granny Lan will all live in the school and can help take care of the students."
"Grandma Lan, help me with some housework. When this drought is over, we will return to the compound. We can practice archery and do whatever we need to do on weekdays."
Grandma Lan felt a little embarrassed. In fact, after Song Yuehua stopped the construction last time, she found Zhou Ergui and wanted to rebuild her house.
There are only two of them in the family. In order to make it easier to work, they have always lived in the compound. It is also convenient for Xiaoyu to live here and study with several classmates.
She didn't expect to encounter such a disaster year. She didn't ask for anything else, she just wanted to build a place where people could live.
Granny Lan said, "After a while, my house will be habitable. We won't live in the school anymore. It's just taking up the house for nothing."
Ding Cuigu and Wen Xiaohua have to learn archery every day, so only Grandma Lan has some time. Song Yuehua also plans to let her help clean up the house so that she can free up time to teach the villagers archery.
"It's not built yet, so let's live in the school first," Song Yuehua said, "You can come here every day to help me clean up the house. Xiaoyu goes to school every day, so it will be more convenient for her to live in the school. You can decide for yourself."
Aunt Ding Cui said, "We can still live in the same house, so it doesn't take up much space. When your new house is built, we will go to the greenhouse together with you."
Granny Lan also smiled and said, "Then let's listen to the boss."
Liu Xue listened for a long time before asking, "What about me?"
"You stay in the compound and take care of Dahuang and Dahei, as well as Xiaohua and Xiaohei. Someone also needs to watch over the things in the cellar." Song Yuehua said.
After arranging everything, Song Yuehua was about to go back.
Liu Xue chased out and asked, "Master, why is it so sudden?"
Song Yuehua explained, "I'm going to have Master Duan and Blacksmith Zhao build a crossbow here. Making this thing is a capital crime, so we have to keep it secret. It's best if we don't use it. If we really need to use it, at least we can implicate fewer people."
"Death... Death penalty..." Liu Xue felt her face go numb after hearing this, "What about Yao Er?"
"I'm worried about Yao Er staying here." Song Yuehua said.
Although the indenture contract was in her hands, Yao Er's character was not trustworthy.
Song Yuehua said, "Tomorrow you send Yao Er to Baozi to work. Do you know what to say?"
Liu Xue said anxiously, "No matter how dumb I am, I can still handle this kind of thing."
After Song Yuehua left, Liu Xue thought that when Bai Shu came back tomorrow, she would ask him about it to get a rough idea first.
