Chapter Thirty-Eight: Laying the Foundation
This morning, the crowd surged, the old and young masters all took shovels, pickaxes, sickles and stubbles, and went to the east, and Su's father and Lu Ying also went to the east early in the morning.
Su Nuoyin didn't hear the sound after waking up in the West House, and thought that there was no one at home.Pushing open the door of the East House, Su Mu was still sleeping, Xiao Chen woke up and quietly read the storybook on the side.Hearing the sound, he turned his head and saw that it was Su Nuoyin, and just wanted to speak, he was prompted by Su Nuoyin's "shh
stepped forward and handed the shoes to Xiao Chen, and helped him to get off the kang quietly.Seeing that it didn't affect Su's mother, he was relieved.The two walked to the stone bench in the courtyard and sat down, before they asked, "When did you wake up, have you eaten?"
"Not long after I woke up, my mother didn't wake up, so I read and played. Su Zichen replied.
"I just woke up, I didn't see Dad, let's go see what's in the pot first." Saying that, he took Su Zichen back to the kitchen.Slowly lifted the lid of the pot, there were more than ten buns in it, and a small pot of porridge.After washing, the two ate 4 buns and two bowls of porridge, and the rest continued to be made in the pot and left for Su's mother, and the two went out.
There really weren't many people in the village, so Su Nuoyin took his younger brother to the door of Lao Ma's house, a gathering place for the elderly." Fourth Master, stay there." The two greeted each other.
"Nuo Nuo and Chenchen, I didn't go to the east, today you two laid the foundation, and you really hired a lot of people." Hearing what the fourth master said, Su Nuoyin remembered.No wonder I didn't see Su's father this morning.Knowing what was going on, Su Nuoyin asked her younger brother to accompany Su's mother at home and went to Dongtou by herself.
When there was still some distance, I heard the sound of the tractor's "da-da-da", and when I got closer, the machine in front turned over the ground, and some of the people behind picked up stones and piled them together; Some pushed earthen carts to carry stones out; There are also mowing grass and digging roots.
This is laying the foundation, this is obviously even the wasteland has been dealt with together.Su Nuoyin saw her aunt Lu Ying, and carefully avoided the crowd and walked over. Auntie, I'm here." Only then did Lu Ying notice Su Nuoyin.
"Why are you here, dusty and dusty, this tractor is going back and forth, you have to be careful." Lu Ying pulled Su Nuoyin in front of him and said loudly, No way, the sound of the tractor is too loud.
"I didn't see my dad when I got up with my little brother, my mom was still asleep, I had dinner with my little brother and came out to listen to the fourth master of the old horse, only to know that the construction had begun. Su Nuoyin replied.Lu Ying nodded.
"Auntie, where's my dad." Su Nuoyin still hasn't found Su's father.
"On the tractor's side, your dad has to watch what he does at all times, and I'll fill it up here." Lu Ying said with a smile, In the words of Su's father, that is: I run errands back and forth, and the eldest sister is in control of the overall situation.
Su Nuoyin waited for the tractor to drive this way, only to see Su's father in a trance, the tractor was too dirty, and some places couldn't be seen.
Now it is still a dirt road, and it is all loess, it is pressed by people and vehicles very sincerely, the south side of the road is full of crops such as bud rice sorghum that grows to the calf.
When I got home, Su's mother had already eaten, and she was out with Xiaochen to cool off." Mom, I went to see my dad, they went, it was all dirt, and I couldn't help and came back." Su Nuoyin also found a place to sit down." Ah, by the way, my aunt came to our house for dinner at noon."
"I know, make something refreshing at noon, it's too hot this day, I just made a pot of mung bean soup, your uncle helped send it over, and the people in the province worked to get heat stroke.
Su Nuoyin didn't feel hot, so she didn't drink, but she had to go home and make lunch." Mom, you and my little brother stay here, I'll go see what I can do, I don't need you."
When I got home, I looked at the dishes in the refrigerator, and there was nothing particularly refreshing, and after thinking about it, I still felt that it was very good to make a cool skin.
Su's father and Lu Ying came back with Su's mother's little brother.Su Nuoyin put the food on the table.A few people washed their hands and served it.
"It's better for me to eat such a hearty meal without having to go into the house." The aunt smiled with chopsticks.
"That's, who has your life, hurry up and eat, this is a cold skin made by Nuonuo, it's appetizing to eat, oh, next to it is the seasoning, what kind of flavor do you like, adjust it yourself." Su Zichen saw the small half bowl in his bowl and motioned to Su Mu: "Mom, I'm not full yet."
Su's mother glanced at her son, "You are still young, you can't eat so much cold, and your sister is a little more than you."
Su Zichen glanced at it and started eating.
Su Mu asked while eating: "What's the matter, is the ground easy to turn, close to the river, it should be possible, according to this progress, how many days?"
"The ground is not dry, easy to turn, there are a lot of stones, but they are carefully made, and they don't hurt the machine.
Lu Ying also nodded. It should be going very fast to see that the situation is progressing, and the group of people who contacted the house before said that we can build this house like this." When the foundation is dug up, it's time to build a house, that is, in a matter of days.
"It's connected, and the simple diagram has been shown to him, and he can cover it, their family belongs to the old craftsmanship of the inheritance, but they were persecuted before, and there are some shadows, so they will pick up some work near their homes, and when we dig the foundation about the same, let's go to feed the materials and bring them over by the way."
"That's okay, don't say it, Nuo Nuo, your cold skin is so delicious, how do you make it, teach me when you have time, I'll make some for your eldest sister and them." This cool skin sesame oil chili oil is mixed with it, it is really refreshing.
"Auntie, I've made it all, there's still a lot left, bring some back to my aunt and husband in the evening, and bring you some of the mixing." Su Nuoyin said.
In fact, Su Nuoyin really did a lot, especially in the space with a machine, quite trouble-free, in the time is still long, it is not effortless, simply do a lot.
