Soon in the afternoon, the village chief brought someone over to find Li Yuqing, and after meeting, Li Yuqing knew what the reason was, and asked the village chief directly, "Uncle village chief, have you found someone to see the house?

The village chief originally wanted to speak, but when he heard Li Yuqing say this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he pointed to the middle-aged man standing on the side and said. "This is your evergreen uncle, that is, my eldest brother, who has been helping others build houses outside, and he can't come back twice a year, that is, this year, the work outside is not good, and the family is busy, so he left, I don't know if you have any impression. ”

After listening to the village chief's words, Li Yuqing frowned and looked at the middle-aged man pointed by the village chief, and after looking carefully, he found that the man was indeed a little similar to the village chief, but he may have been outside for a long time, his body was thin, and his face was sluggish.

Li Yuqing then shook her head awkwardly, there was no way she hadn't met in the village for more than a year, of course it was impossible to know her. At the same time, I couldn't help muttering in my heart, "Joke, I'm not a fairy, how can I know him," don't say anything else, listen to the village chief's tone, this person has been helping people build houses outside, that is, this year, there is something in the village, and he can't do well outside, so he didn't go out to stay at home to help, so that Li Yuqing can have a chance to see him.

Seeing Li Yuqing like this, the man quickly waved his hand and smirked and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I can't blame you, it's no wonder that I've been away from the village for a long time, so for you, it's inevitable that I'm a little rusty, if it wasn't for Changchun to bring me over to see you today, if I really see you in the village one day, if you don't say it, I don't know who you are!

After listening to his words, Li Yuqing couldn't help laughing, he didn't expect that a person who was honest and honest on the surface would speak so smoothly, it seems that he really can't underestimate the people who are outside and crawling over.

After laughing, he said to the village chief, "Uncle village chief, did you bring Uncle Changqing over because of the house?"

"Yes, yes" After listening to Li Yuqing's words, the village chief kept nodding, "I went back from your side, and I went to find your Uncle Changqing, and took him to the house to have a look, and I just came back, so I brought him to your side."

After listening to the village chief's words, Li Yuqing looked at Li Changqing with an anxious face, and said, "Uncle Changqing, I don't know how the house is, if it is renovated, how long will it take, and how many silver taels." If you can, please help me arrange for someone to tidy up as soon as possible."

Li Changqing, who has been silent since he finished speaking, looked at her fixedly after listening to what Li Yuqing said, and then felt that this girl was not simple, her head was flexible, she was decisive, and she had a domineering spirit that was born with a superior.

On the way here just now, I heard from the village chief about Li Yuqing, saying how great Li Yuqing is, driving the development of the whole village, and now he wants to renovate the school and find a master to teach the children in the village to read and write.

Because Li Changqing has been outside, he only goes home during the New Year's holidays, and he rarely listens to the things in the village. So at first, Li Changqing thought that the village chief was exaggerating and deliberately elevating Li Yuqing, but now after seeing Li Yuqing, looking at her words and deeds, her conversation is no less than that of the young lady in the high-ranking family, so he believes what the village chief said.

Li Changqing had been looking at Li Yuqing steadily, thinking about his own thoughts, standing there silently, Li Yuqing was very anxious when he saw this, and thought something was wrong, so he called out again, "Uncle Changqing, you should say something, is there something wrong with the house." ”

After hearing this, Li Changqing reacted, and hurriedly said, "No, no, I was just thinking about something else, so I didn't hear what you asked clearly, but now I hear it." You can rest assured, there is no problem with the house, the house was built by me, because I thought at the time, the children in the nearby villages went to school, so each village was equipped with money to build a brick house, although it has been a long time, but the tile house is a tile house, stronger than an ordinary house, and only some of the bricks and tiles on it are broken, so go and buy some to replace it"

"Really" After listening to Li Changqing's words, Li Yuqing asked in disbelief.

"Well, but I heard that Changchun said that you want to run a private school, and you are in a hurry, although the house is not a problem, but the top priority now is to find someone to build tables and chairs, otherwise even if the house is repaired and the master finds it, you can't immediately let people teach children to read and write. Li Changqing said slowly.

After listening to Li Changqing's words, Li Yuqing was stunned, she didn't expect that a person who built houses in the ancient countryside to make a living would think so meticulously and comprehensively, which was really eye-opening.

Originally, it was treated as an ordinary person, Li Yuqing's tone softened, and asked softly, "That Uncle Changqing has a familiar craftsman, can you help me contact me and help me get as many tables and chairs as possible as soon as possible, the price is easy to say." ”

Li Changqing looked at Li Yuqing, who was a little transparent, and nodded with satisfaction, "This thing is easy to do, there are familiar people who happen to do our business, I'll help you ask when I go back."

"Okay" Li Yuqing hurriedly nodded and said, "Uncle Changqing, how much does it cost to build a house, you tell me, I will help you get the money, buy bricks and tiles as soon as possible and tidy up the house as soon as possible, Uncle Village Chief should have told you, I am in a hurry now"

"I roughly estimated that it would take about 5 taels of silver, because not only the broken bricks and tiles on the top had to be bought and replaced, but even the walls below had been seriously peeled due to the long-term wind and rain, and they needed to be re-mudded, which would take about two or three days. ”

"Okay" After listening to Li Changqing's words, Li Yuqing hurriedly applauded, asked him to wait in the living room for a while, turned around and went back to his room, took out a silver ingot of five taels, thought about it and took out another tael of silver, put it in his sleeve, and then turned around and walked out.

Coming to Li Changqing, Li Yuqing took out the five taels of silver ingots from his sleeve and handed them to him. Then under his surprised gaze, he slowly took out the silver ingot of one or two silvers and handed it to Li Changqing.

Li Changqing shook the six taels of silver in his hand, and looked at Li Yuqing puzzled, he didn't know what she meant, five taels of silver, he could still understand that it was used to repair the house, so what was the one or two taels of silver for, he was a little confused.

One or two pieces of silver is nothing to Li Yuqing, but for Li Changqing, it is enough for more than half a month's salary.

Somewhat surprised, he held up a tael of silver in his hand, and asked Li Yuqing puzzled, "What does this mean?"

Seeing him like this, Li Yuqing shook his head funny, what about this person, say that he is smart, he is still quite smart, say that he is stupid, he is quite stupid, such an obvious thing, he still has to ask the bottom of it.

"For you"

"For me. Why?" asked Li Changqing with a frown.

"The money was not given to you for nothing, but because you also saw that I am very busy now, but I still need to buy new tiles on the other side of the house, and I have no choice but to bother you, so the money is reserved for you to buy water and drink on the road. (To be continued.) )
