Chapter 24 New Houses
Although he had doubts in his heart, Li Yulin did not express it, in his eyes, he was also looking forward to the appearance of the house that his daughter said, but in this case, the fifty taels of silver would be in suspense! However, there is nothing to worry about, it's a big deal that this house has blue bricks and tiles, this courtyard wall, what you have is strength, Lijia Village is backing the mountain, and it is stronger to get some stones!
Li Yulin said his views on building a house, Li Haitang couldn't help nodding, his father was a native of ancient times, and he knew much more than himself, a half-person, and the appearance of the house he longed for was indeed much better after he corrected it.

After all this is done, all that remains is to buy materials and lay the foundation to build the house. There are no serious bricklayers in the countryside, and almost every man can build a house, so he doesn't have to worry about having no manpower. Li Haitang discussed with Li Yulin, asked the big guy to help, calculated a little salary every day, and took care of another meal at noon. This is the time when the farm is slack, and people are easy to find.
Things are going on in an orderly manner here, but the family is about to make a fuss. Li Yushan's whole thing, stunned by the Pan family sent by the person to make twenty taels of silver and left, even so, Li Yushan was still beaten by the Pan family's nursing home, wailing and cursing in the house all day long, the scolding is naturally Li Haitang became his wealth, caused him to suffer, and said cruel words, when he is better, she will look good!
Li Zhao even scolded Huai all day long, and the extra ten taels of the rest of the family took half of her family and left, her heart was dripping blood, but if she didn't give it, she couldn't watch her son being chopped off, right? The big house family is the same as Li Haitang's family, busy zoning a place to build a house! Li probably wanted to stay away from his own family, so he deliberately found Li Zheng to draw a place that was not in the same direction as his own family. She was not angry at Li Zhao's call to scold Huai every day, she didn't hear it.
In the evening, Zhao Xiaohua came, along with Zhao Xiaohua's grandmother.
Li Yulin was not at home, so he went out door to door to find someone to build a house.
The eldest lady of the Zhao family took Li Haitang's hand and said, "Good boy, it's hard for you." This day is finally a head-off! Come, take these, and turn them back to your father. There aren't many of the eldest mother's family, so these will be used in an emergency first! ”
The lady of the Zhao family handed over two pieces of money, that is, two taels of silver.
"Grandma Zhao...... This, we can't take this money. Li Haitang shirked it, it may take a year to save these two taels of silver, and the Zhao family is not having a good time, how can he take it?
"You kid, this money is lent to your family, and you can pay it back when you have it!" Aunt Zhao glanced at Li Haitang with disgust, "Haitang, building a house is the most expensive thing, besides, I have the heart to build a house." Naturally, it is necessary to build a better place, this is a place to live for a lifetime! ”
Li Haitang couldn't shirk it, so he had to write down the good of the Zhao family in his heart.
Seeing Li Haitang accept the silver, the eldest lady of the Zhao family grinned: "Begonia, this house is built to cook or something, but there are indispensable people, just say hello when the time comes!" ”
Li Haitang nodded: "When the time comes, it's really troublesome Grandma Zhao, you can help me!" ”
The eldest lady of the Zhao family smiled and nodded, "What is trouble, this is all as it should be, Xiaohua said to come to talk to you, I will leave first, you little sisters talk to each other." ”
After Li Haitang went out to send someone off, he turned back, and Zhao Xiaohua looked excited: "Haitang, you have finally escaped from the clutches of your milk, and when your family builds a big house in the future, I will look for you when I am free." ”
"Well, well, you don't have to go too far then!" Li Haitang said with a grin.
"Our village is so big, how far can we go?" Zhao Xiaohua pouted.
"It's not very far, just on the other side of the village, by the river." Li Haitang replied with a smile, "It's next to the one with a separate courtyard!" ”
Zhao Xiaohua thought for a while, and said in surprise: "Why did you choose there, I know that family is an outsider from our village, I can't say which big family is taking refuge here or something!" You don't know, I often see the children of that family at the butcher in our village, dressed decently and cleanly, and born beautifully, none of the offspring babies in our village look as good-looking as him! ”
Li Haitang has a black line, it is too good for Gu Yongjia, there is no descendant in Lijia Village who can beat him in appearance. Looking at the peach blossoms on Zhao Xiaohua's face, Li Haitang felt that he still had a marriage contract with him in his stomach, he was only nine years old now, how could it take five or six years to get married!
"I've seen it a few times, so let's do it, where is Xiaohua so exaggerated."
Zhao Xiaohua glared at her: "Begonia, you guy doesn't have any vision at all, I don't know, many girls in the village are optimistic about the young man of that family." It's a pity that he is too good-looking, and he is cold, and no one dares to talk to him. Saying that, Zhao Xiaohua sighed regretfully.
didn't listen to Zhao Xiaohua and became a nymphomaniac, Li Haitang went into the kitchen and stuffed a handful of chestnuts into her hands: "This peel is off, it's delicious." ”
Zhao Xiaohua didn't see this once, but she also learned from Li Haitang and peeled it off and criticized it, and ate the golden chestnut meat.
"It's delicious, it's delicious, I've never eaten it before. Begonia, what is this? Zhao Xiaohua said happily, she thought this thing was better than the pastries sold in the town!
Li Haitang stuck out his tongue, sure enough, the children in the countryside don't have many things that can be sacrificed on weekdays, and this chestnut will definitely be loved.
"I got it in the mountains, and I stumbled upon something to eat. I know where it is, I'll take you to get it when I get it, but you have to keep it a secret, otherwise everyone else will know, and there will be no food for us! Li Haitang said.
Zhao Xiaohua grabbed Li Haitang's hand tightly and said incoherently: "Haitang, you are so good, tell me such an important matter." We will always be good sisters! ”
Well, Li Haitang underestimated Zhao Xiaohua's reaction, this guy almost sweared. In fact, otherwise, this chestnut is so delicious, Li Haitang generously told Zhao Xiaohua that this is not just a little delicious in Zhao Xiaohua's heart, this is Li Haitang's expression that she treats her as his own.
After eating a large handful of chestnuts, Zhao Xiaohua stood up contentedly and prepared to go home, and made an appointment, waiting for the house of the Begonia family to be built, and then went into the mountains to get chestnuts.
Not long after Zhao Xiaohua left, Li Yulin came back, closed the door and took out a few copper coins from his arms. Li Haitang also hurriedly took out the two copper coins sent by the Zhao family's aunt and handed them to Li Yulin: "Dad, this is sent by the Zhao family's aunt, saying that we should use it first." I will return it when I go back! ”
"Hmm. Begonia, you help your father think about whose money this is, and we have to pay it back in the future. Saying that, Li Yulin said all the money that everyone had taken and asked Li Haitang to help remember it. Li Haitang smacked his tongue, his father's reputation in the village is quite good, so many family members lent him money.
"Dad, I remember, when our family has money, we will pay it back, and then we will give them more!"
"You little clever ghost." Li Yulin poked Li Haitang's head.
Li Haitang smiled.
After picking up, the father and daughter lay down on a kang. Li Haitang thought in his heart, waiting for the new house to get up, there would be no need to squeeze to sleep, and there would be one room for one person at that time, how good!
Following.
Before dawn, Li Haitang got up, lit a fire to cook, and after a while, they were going to lay the foundation, and the house had to be built as soon as possible, before the snow fell. When she went back, she went to Aunt Gu and said that she would borrow their place for cooking at noon, so that she would not have to delay her work back and forth, and she would do more if she could.
For Begonia's request, Gu Sushi responded very happily, and said that the vegetables in the yard can be used at will, anyway, the family can't eat it, in addition to eating on weekdays, the biggest use is to decorate the yard and make the yard look lively! Li Haitang listened to this reason, smacked his tongue, sure enough, rich people are different!
The people who came to build houses here are all the old and young masters in the village, and they don't pay attention to eating, as long as they can fill their stomachs! This is not the busy season of farming, you can only eat half full at home, this helper is just a trick of strength, and you can also have a full meal, and everyone is not hiding, throwing off their arms and doing it in full swing.
"Brother Da Lin, your family's foundation is really big, and when the house is built, it will be the biggest in our village!" A man about the same age as Li Yulin said enviously.
"What is there to envy, you can build it when you go back, and when the time comes, build a bigger one than here!" Li Yulin waved his pickaxe, didn't look up, and replied.
"Well, Brother Da Lin, this house will cost a lot of silver! Where are you from? The man asked casually.
Li Yulin's brows furrowed slightly, who would say such a thing? But when the man asked, he could not help but squeak, "The owner of the house where I work heard that I was going to build a house, so he lent me some silver." ”
"It's so good, there is such a good owner this year, Brother Da Lin, you are just lucky. That's a lot of money! The man sighed again.
"I have to pay back the money, and when the house is up, I will have to suffer for a few days." Li Yulin replied.
……
Building a house is a hard work, so many people work, Li Haitang thought that he had to make the oil and water in the stomachs of the people who worked have enough! No, she spent thirty dollars from the butcher to buy a large pot of pigs to go into the water, and it took half a day of work to clean it up, and boiled it in a big pot!
Every time the butcher kills the pig, in addition to the heart and liver, everything else is fed to the dog.
Alas, the tyrannical thing, this thing is not cheap in modern times! This big pot of pigs is mixed with wild vegetables and Chinese cabbage, which is full of oil and water, and tastes good, enough for them to have a full meal!
