Chapter 43: Emaciated
"You can't regret it, and I won't allow you to regret it, I'll teach you starting tomorrow. Xiao Yao said very harshly.
"Hmm. Yi'er also nodded solemnly.
"What about Dale?" asked Dale hurriedly.
Xiao Yao looked at Dai'er, "Sister, I also want to learn~"
"You have to persevere, and you can't give up, it will be more difficult for girls to practice martial arts than boys, because of physical strength. Have you really figured it out?"
"My sister can practice, I can also practice, I think my brother and sister are as powerful!"
"Alright, we'll start tomorrow. ”
"Sister, where did the big brother go? I didn't see him. ”
"He went home. ”
"Oh~"
After all, after getting along for so many days, the two little guys have gotten used to him, but now that they don't, they will be a little lost and sad.
"Why don't you tell us?"
"He is afraid that you will not be willing to give up on him. ”
Xiao Yao changed the topic, "After eating, we will go to the village to find the village chief and ask him to help us find someone to build a house." ”
"We're going to make a house~" The child's attention was immediately diverted.
When I came to the village, although the house was also an earthen house, it was big enough, with three rooms and a large yard. You can see it when you stand outside.
"Is the village chief at home?" Xiao Yao shouted.
"Who?" said the village chief's daughter-in-law. Loud voice, standard peasant woman, looks pretty good, at least not mean.
"It's Xiao Yao, what are you looking for him?"
"Auntie, we want to make a house, so"
"Well, you wait, I'll call you. Before she could finish speaking, she interrupted her.
It didn't take long to come out, and the village chief should have just come back for breakfast. Farmers, get up very early in the morning and go down to weeds or something. Then look at the point and come back for breakfast, and then continue to work.
"You're going to make a house?"
Xiao Yao nodded.
"Do you have any money?"
Xiao Yao nodded.
The village chief thought that Xiao Yao had made a little money, so he wanted to build a house. Slowly tell her, "Make a house, but it's a big deal! There are a few good players in the village, I don't know if you want to make a mud house, or?"
Xiao Yao knew what he meant, "Uncle Village Chief, we want to build a big tiled house,"
The village chief was frightened, the big tile house where the people in the town lived, Xiao Yao?
"Yes. ”
"Do you know how much money you need?"
Xiao Yao shook his head. She really didn't know that.
"I'll do the math for you, the smaller ones are about the same size as your house now, the bricks and tiles will cost at least ten taels, and the wages for hiring three or five people to help will cost five or eight hundred wen a day, and it will take at least half a month to do it!
"Where's the bigger one?"
"The bigger one, a bigger one like me, three rooms, twenty taels of bricks and tiles, half a month and twenty days, the salary is eighteen taels, a total of thirty-eight taels! The village chief thought that saying this could scare Xiao Yao, but he didn't expect him to be wrong.
Xiao Yao just nodded, "I know, village chief, where to buy bricks and tiles?"
The village chief was speechless, "Have you figured it out?"
"Figured it out. ”
"Wang Dayan's family in Wangjia Village next door sells it, his family is an ancestral craft, very good, and some people in the town pull goods from him. Alas, but it's a pity, only that craft, now there is very little business, where do we poor people build brick houses, three or five years to receive a small business, life is also passing. ”
Quietly listen to the village chief's nagging.
"Thank you village chief, I wonder if the village chief can help me invite a few people?"
Xiao Yao wasn't joking, "Okay, when do you want it?"
"This afternoon. ”
"Okay, I'll bring someone over after lunch. ”
"Eh, thank you village chief~" Xiao Yao exclaimed sweetly. The village chief looked at Xiao Yao's bright smiling face, and Xiao Yao, who was aggressive that night, seemed to be an illusion.
Xiao Yao took Yi'er and Dai'er to Wangjia Village again. "Auntie, do you know where Wang Dayan's house is?" Xiao Yao caught a lady who rushed to the ground with a hoe.
"His house, oh, over there, the brick house is his house. Pointing to a place, Xiao Yao looked over, it was quite remote, and it was also close to the mountain, and there was only a lonely tiled house there.
"Thank you, auntie. ”
Xiao Yao found that there were no footprints on the road, and it seemed that no one was looking for him, and he didn't come out himself. Like a brick house in the modern seventies and eighties, it is very old. Small size, only one room, and one next door.
"Is Wang Dayan at home?"
The voice of a forty-year-old uncle. "Who?" Then he opened the door and looked at Xiao Yao's three children,
"What are you looking for me to do?" Wang Dayan is burly, worthy of making bricks and tiles.
"Uncle Wang, Xiao Yao from Liujia Village next door to me wants to buy bricks and tiles. ”
Wang Dayan nodded. The last time he went out and heard about Xiao Yao, it happened to be the day after Liu Dashu stole loquats. So he didn't treat Xiao Yao as an ordinary child.
"You're going to make a house?"
"Yes. ”
"I don't know how big it is?" A small head appeared behind his waist. Seeing Xiao Yao three looking at him, he hurriedly retracted his head, just holding his father's clothes tightly with both hands.
"Make three of your family so big. ”
"Come with me to see the bricks. Wang Dayan came out to the house next door, and the children behind him also followed, never letting go of his hand. When you open the door, it's full of bricks. Divide the open, and the dust has fallen on it.
"This was made last year, bricks can make a room, tiles can also make a room. ”
Xiao Yao nodded.
"I can do the rest now. ”
"How long?"
"It takes five days to make bricks for a room,"
"Yes, I'll send it over when it's ready. I've got someone to do today, so I'll send these over today. I don't know how to negotiate the price?"
Wang Dayan listened to Xiao Yao's words, and nodded in his heart, because this is completely the way adults behave. Lower your head and calculate, because I don't know how big Xiao Yao wants to be, it's not easy to calculate.
"Uncle Wang, I have an idea,"
"Oh? ”
"That's right, how about it when I finish the house?"
"You don't have to worry, I'll give you half of the deposit first, and when it's finished, I'll pay it all off, how about it?"
"Yes, doable. ”
"Is it feasible to pay a deposit of ten taels upfront?"
"Yes. No problem. The little girl is so happy!hahahaha~"
"I'll load the ox cart now, you wait a minute, I'll get ready." ”
Xiao Yao nodded.
The boy went with his father. Ten years old, he looks thin, very scared of life, and shy.
Wang Dayan prepared the special thing for transporting bricks and tiles, which was very large, and was covered with thick dry straw. It will not fall and will not be easily broken when transported.
I started moving bricks, but I didn't expect it to look like
Skinny kid, actually
