Chapter 90: Return to the village

After eating, Chunquan went back by himself. Shumin is back, and Hui'er and Feng'an naturally follow her.

Fortunately, there are many houses in my uncle's family, and I am not afraid that I can't live in them.

After Hu Liu'er finished eating, she took a bath for Hu Yang'er with the help of Xiao Li's family, and changed into the half-new clothes that her son wore before going to sleep.

These two children have suffered too much along the way, and today they tossed all day, and now they fell asleep as soon as they got into the warm bed.

Xiao Li's two children, Yousong and Youzhu, refused to sleep, pestering their mother to tell her story. Xiao Li had no choice but to tell a very old-fashioned story to coax them to sleep.

Hui'er and Feng'an were much better, the two of them went to bed very consciously, and before going to bed, Hui'er also pulled Shumin and kissed her.

After these things were done, Shu Min and the aunt chatted in the hall.

"What's the matter with those two children?" the aunt never asked, and waited until now to ask.

Shumin told the two children about it. The aunt only wiped her tears when she heard this, and said: "Hard-working baby, my mother's whereabouts are unknown, and my father is sick again and is gone." Hui'er Niang, you have done a good job, it is a good thing to do good deeds. ”

"I also thought that they were too pitiful, so I thought about taking them in. Shumin said.

"But you offended Wanhualou, that flower is not a good stubble, I heard that she has some friendship with people in black and white, you should be careful when you enter the city in the future. Li Zheng kindly reminded.

"Don't be afraid, she knows that I have a relationship with the county magistrate, so she doesn't dare to mess around. Besides, I can call Shangchun Quan together, he has good martial arts, and there is no problem in fighting a few. Shumin smiled.

Chunquan was mentioned. Uncle Niang and Li Zheng glanced at each other, should the gossip in the village sue her?

Shu Min saw that the aunt and the others stopped talking. He asked, "Did something happen after I left?"

"It's okay, don't think about it. Didn't anything happen to you on the road?, did you?, how did the little wolf get here?" The aunt changed the subject.

"It's really thrilling to say" Shumin told how they met the wolves at night, how they escaped, and how they adopted the wolf cub in the end, which made the little hearts of Uncle Niang and Li Zheng flutter.

"Yo, it's too dangerous. The Bodhisattva blesses you all to come back safely. The aunt folded her hands and chanted Amitabha.

"That little wolf is also fated with you, whether you raise a wolf, where you are remote, it can protect you in the future. "I'm touching my beard. Shocked, but he wasn't disgusted by the wolf.

He was well-informed, it was not that he had never heard of the beast recognizing its master, and besides, the little wolf was still so young, and he grew up with the crowd, and he was much less wild.

When I got home yesterday, it was late, and Shumin didn't go back to her new home to see, but early this morning, my aunt accompanied her. Get ready to clean up.

"Oh my God, is this my house?" Although Shumin had seen the design drawings in advance, she couldn't help but marvel when she saw the finished product in front of her!

The small building has two floors. The walls are white and tiled, and there are dark red windows between the blue and white, and the windows are carved with intricate but exquisite patterns. Birds, beasts, insects, and fish, there are no duplicates. The door of the hall was open. Inside, you can clearly see eight load-bearing columns, which divide the house into halls. There are two rooms on the left and right, and a staircase compartment.

The cubicles in the house are all separated by wooden boards, all painted in the color of the windows, and the table of the eight immortals under the cabinet in the hall and the tables and chairs under the table are all matched with uniform patterns and colors. Carved with a uniform pattern, it is incomparably delicate and beautiful. On the wooden wall behind the case, it is actually carved with a hollow carving method, carved with auspicious patterns, and the stairs that are swaying up the stairs are faintly visible, this design is still the first one in Baili Village, such a design not only avoids the embarrassment and indecency when going up and down the stairs, but also effectively increases the brightness of the stairs. Shumin was overjoyed.

"It's a good design, my stairwell is too dark, and I am careful every time I go up and down. Uncle Niang smiled, "Chunquan is really careful." ”

When she said this, she secretly noticed Shu Min's expression, but Shu Min had already been carried away by these surprises, and where did she notice what the uncle said.

It's already like this downstairs, what will it look like upstairs?

Shumin hurriedly ran upstairs.

There is also a hall upstairs, but it is much simpler than the downstairs, but it is semi-open, and the wall facing the courtyard can be moved, and when it is moved, there is only a handrail half a person high, so you can see the village from afar, and you can also see the scenery in the courtyard up close. If it is closed, it is an intimate living room.

There are also two rooms upstairs, the room is larger, it is divided into two rooms, there is a step bed carved by Zhang Nanmu, there are wardrobe boxes, etc., there are bookshelves and desks outside, but the desk is smaller than the general desk, and there are horse patterns on it, which is very exquisite.

"These things are all made by Chunquan!" said the uncle. "Look at this horse, it was still engraved at Hui'er's request. ”

"Well, Chunquan's craftsmanship is really good!" Shumin stroked the galloping horses, as if they would come to life immediately.

"Not only this table, but also the bed, cabinets, bookcases, and boxes in your room, all of which he made with his own hands. Uncle continued.

"No wonder, I don't think these are the same as the ones outside, it turned out that he did it. Shumin has a new understanding of Chunquan's craftsmanship in his heart.

Uncle Niang sighed secretly, it seems that the kid himself is hot, and this one here has not yet opened his mind!

That's fine, Chunquan's sister-in-law Qiuhua is married to Zhengyuan, if Shumin follows Chunquan, isn't this a mess.

Although Uncle Niang likes Chunquan's child, she is the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, and what she wants to take into account most is the face of the Zhang family.

Uncle Niang and Shumin were quick with their hands and feet, and it took them half a day to clean the house inside and out.

"What about Zhengxing's daughter-in-law, why didn't I see her?" Shumin asked curiously.

She went to her mother's house and said that she was bringing Xiaohu back. The aunt replied.

"I mean, I've been back for so long, and she hasn't even flickered. Shumin smiled. I haven't seen her for a while, and she still misses her.

"It's not easy for her, a woman supports a family, but she doesn't cry bitter. Uncle Niang also said.

"It's okay now, when Xiaohu comes back, there will be more children in the yard, and it will be lively. "Xiaohu should only be three years old this year, younger than Hui'er, Hui'er is going to be happy, she has been a little unhappy recently that she is the eldest in the family!

Shumin cleaned the house, cleaned up the kitchen again, and moved in in the afternoon. In addition to the accident in the main house, in the original utility room, Chunquan made people build two wings. There is also a small utility room at the back of the kitchen, the tool room. Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs.

"It's just that the yard is not well tidied up, and when I am ready to do the New Year's goods, I buy some potted plants and put them on both sides of the green brick road, like the flowers on the design drawing, it is perfect. Shumin thought to herself.

Shumin moved in that day, and now that there are more rooms, Shumin asked Hui'er to live in a room with Liu'er, and live upstairs with herself, Feng'an and Yang'er live in a room, Yang'er is still young and needs Feng'an to take care of her. Hui'er and Yang'er are about the same age, and Liu'er can take care of her. Shumin lived in a room by herself, and she now had a lot of ideas in her heart, and she had to finish it slowly, and a separate room would be cleaner.

The next day, Shumin set up a housewarming wine, and most of the people in the village came, and even the Zhang family sent Zhengming over.

In fact, Old Man Zhang wanted to come by himself, but he couldn't pull his face, Zhengming had been closer to Li Zheng recently, and he was a junior, so he didn't have to worry about anything, so he came, and he also wrapped a red envelope of 30 yuan, which was generous.

Shumin doesn't mind how many red envelopes there are, she just wants to be happy and auspicious.

But this time, Chun Quan didn't come over, and when Shumin asked Hui'er to invite, Hui'er only said that the person was not at home, which made Shumin feel a little depressed.

Baili Village is now on the track, and the list of tofu is increasing every day, Li Zheng touched his beard and said, the village can get part of the dividends during the New Year in a few years. The villagers were naturally happy to have money made so quickly.

But the problem is that a lot of beans are needed to make tofu, and in previous years, beans were useless, and there were few people, so the village no longer had enough to collect. Fortunately, this Shumin had already greeted Liu Zikai and asked him to supply, which solved the problem of raw materials. But it is not a way to rely on the Liu family for a long time, Li Zheng frowned and held another village meeting, hoping that next year everyone can cultivate more land and grow more beans.

"Don't worry, next year our whole village will go to the beans, anyway, beans make more money than grain, let's sell tofu and buy food." A young man replied. There was a chorus of echoes. The old people in the village touched their beards and did not speak.

Food is the lifeblood of the common people, and not growing food always makes them panic.

Li Zheng also hesitated, if they all planted beans, there was no food in the village, not to mention that the old people were uneasy, even he felt uneasy, but if this raw material is not solved, can the tofu in this Baili Village include ten miles and eight townships as Shumin said, including Linjiang Town?

"Uncle Lizheng, may you say a few words? Seeing that everyone was worried about this matter, Shu Min took possession.

"Hui'er Niang, do you have a high opinion?" asked Li Zheng

"Gao Jian didn't dare to be, but I went out for this time, and I saw the situation of our entire Linjiang Town, our eastern part is rich, the land is fertile, suitable for the growth of various crops, as long as you take care of it properly, you can almost get a good harvest in the case of natural disasters. ”

Shumin said that the people in the village also felt that it made sense. Nodding frequently

"But. Shumin also said, "In the west of Linjiang Town, the land fertility is lacking, and the grain harvest is only two or three layers in our east, but the harvest of beans is similar to ours, because beans are cheap, and they can be planted anywhere without picking land." What do you think if we cooperate with the townships in the west and exchange our grain for beans with them?"

"Wonderful, this method is good. "There was an old man in the clan who applauded.

Li Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard it, if this is the case, not only will it solve the problem of raw materials, but it will also bring out the fame of Baili Village!

"But the matter of cooperation" After all, he thought more deeply, asking the west to give up growing grain and grow beans instead, can the countryside in the west agree? )
