Chapter 18: Building a Sheepfold
"How can the old lady wait for that time, it's best not to let me touch Cai's muddy ball tomorrow!" Su Linshi came out with two bowls of medicinal soup, one bowl handed to Su Changning, and the other bowl handed to Su Fang. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Su Fang made her mother's fierceness laugh, thinking that she might be able to take her mother's fierce route in the future.
I don't know what the relatives of the Lin family are like, but it's not easy to ask at this time, it will make the family laugh at their impatience. Su Fang blew on the medicine and slowly drank it with bated breath.
Everyone talked about buying sheep for a while, and the Sulin clan also accepted the eldest son's proposal, no longer objected, and after discussing the issue of building a sheepfold, they dispersed.
Su Changan went to fetch water for his younger brother to wash his feet and do a foot massage, and Su Lin went to find the two little girls who finally went out to play outside the yard. Su Fang went back to her room.
Her room has a big earthen kang without a bed, next door to the upper room of the father's house, I heard that she originally did not live here, she lived with her two younger sisters in the west house, and Su Changning was on the side, and the east house was the eldest brother's room and utility room.
Later, she was hit by Su Hongzhao and fell into the river, and after waking up, she proposed to change the house, saying that she was afraid that she would raise her injuries and quarrel with her sister, but in fact, she thought her sister was too noisy, and the adults could understand it, so they naturally changed it for her.
Of course, there is another reason, she is going to get married, and before she gets married, she has to have a place to pile up dowries and make wedding dresses, and if she brings her husband back after marriage, she can also have a place to sleep.
After all, she is the first girl to get married, and she will be taken seriously.
Not all rooms in the house are repaired, the south sleeps on wooden plank beds, only this one, the family can stay warm in this house during the winter, and stay in the house on a snowy day without going out to be frozen, like in the north.
Therefore, this room is not small, there are kang tables, lockers, boxes, autumn tables, but there are no wardrobes and Su Fang's personal small belongings or anything. It's temporary.
It wasn't until today that the dowries arranged by the family were put into the house, which made it more private to live here. But it's only until August 15.
Su Fang put the contents of the basket on the kang in the same way, took a small stool and sat down to appreciate it slowly. At this time, the objects were only visited in museums before, and of course they were stolen by the proprietor.
However, the Su family is poor, but they suddenly have so much more silver, and they don't have the courage to do big shopping, as a dowry, these things are really not much, and they are not good.
Two boxes of silver heads, two boxes of silk flowers, two gold-filled hairpins, two woodcarved hairpins, and a pair of silver bracelets, which are considered jewelry to marry.
In addition, there are small items such as copper mirrors, combs, grates, hair oil, soap paste, green salt, needles and threads, thimbles, scissors......
Then there were two horses of coarse cotton, two horses of fine yarn, and two horses of fine linen. It took her father and mother a day to do just these things, and Su Fang only felt sad.
How many times do you have to choose, leave, and turn back before you can make a decision to buy?
However, the dowry is not only these, these are bought with the money from the sale of tigers, and there are also household carpenters who hired the village carpenter to rush to work, and the wedding dress that her mother is helping her make, which is the twenty taels of silver that Lin Tianming hired at the beginning.
Originally, the family wanted to add another one or two taels to marry her decently, but now that they have a lot of silver, they naturally want to do more jewelry to make her marry more decently.
It's just that these dowries, that is, decent in the peasant's house, are probably not as good as a subordinate when they enter the city.
Su Fang understood in her heart, and the more she understood her father's intentions, she also wanted to find business opportunities quickly and help the Su family. As for the Lin family...... Let's see.
Early the next morning, Su Fang woke up and saw that his father and eldest brother had already dragged a cart of mud bricks back, and Lin Tianming was actually helping, so he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, this speed is really good!
I only said last night that I was building a sheepfold, and I only did my father's work last night, and even the bricks were shipped back early this morning, and I didn't say that I wanted to help build the sheepfold, but I actually appeared early this morning.
"Ah, I haven't washed my face and brushed my teeth yet!"
Su Fang originally wanted to walk over to say hello to Lin Tianming and ask about the situation, but when she saw his smiling expression, she suddenly remembered that she had just gotten up, and she hadn't even combed her hair properly.
What's more, how can you see people without washing your face and brushing your teeth......
Su Fang blushed and lowered her head and rushed to the kitchen, she already knew the place and the way here after washing her face and brushing her teeth last night, and she would not be at a loss today.
After washing up, he immediately rushed back to the house, took out the bronze mirror that was used as a dowry, combed his hair in front of the blurred mirror, and combed it into a three-girl bun, the difference was that there were two four-strand braids underneath.
This comb is simple and energetic, suitable for simple and pure little girls. She took out the four ribbons she had found in the silk box last night, cut one of them into two, and tied the braids.
These four ribbons should be given by the jewelry store, a box of a pair, and she has two boxes of silk flowers, which are naturally four. She cut the other two open, leaving one unattended.
He looked in the mirror again, walked out of the door again, and this time went to the kitchen without squinting, and pulled the little sister who was staring at the smell of the pot to wash her face, and then led her back to her house.
Not long after, as the little sisters laughed happily, Su Lihua touched her double bun and a pair of pink and yellow ribbons with both hands and was overjoyed, and kept looking in the mirror, her little face was dyed with a layer of red.
"Eldest sister, hurry up, it's me, it's me!" Su Xinghua saw that the second sister's hair was so beautiful, and she pulled Su Fang's sleeve a little unhurriedly to urge.
Su Fang glanced at the child with messy hair and couldn't help pouting.
Although it is not the kind of dirt that is not washed for a few days, this messy and withered yellow hair is not long enough, and it can't be combed into a beautiful hairstyle.
In the end, Su Fang still combed two small braids for her little sister, tied a bow with a pink ribbon, with big eyes and a small face, although she was malnourished, the pink still brought out her delicate and cute.
"Yes, I will be a little beauty in a few more years!" Su Fang held the child's cheek and looked left and right, and then commented, and immediately teased Su Xinghua to reveal a mouthful of small baby teeth.
The three sisters walked out of the house happily, and Su Xinghua immediately ran towards her father, who was picking bricks in the yard. "Dad! Look at the people! The eldest sister said, "Raise it for a few more years!" It's Xiaomei...... Human!"
Three-year-old Xiao Xinghua told her father about her happy mood at the moment with an innocent and yearning face, but she didn't know why the eldest brother and eldest brother-in-law turned their faces and laughed.
"Silly girl, go to the kitchen to show your mother!" Su Lihua was a few years older and still knew that she was shy, so she rushed over and dragged her little sister to the kitchen.
Su Fang was left looking at the men who were laughing incessantly with an embarrassed expression.
Su Zhengqing is okay, after all, she is her own daughter, so lively and cute. Su Changan felt that his sister was too funny, but Lin Tianming's eyes looked at Su Fang with more inquiry.
Su Fang was originally going to go over to talk, but seeing them like this, she simply turned her head and walked towards the kitchen.
