The people in the village eat and drink, and they are all dispersed after the finish, and they can't directly build the tiles after the completion of the beam, they must first dry the beam, and then build the tiles. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Dad, will you be able to go to the green tile tomorrow?" Li Dongsheng asked excitedly.

"Well, Ming'er, your uncle is here, everyone will work for a day, it's almost over, the house will be dried for a few days, and we will be able to move in. When the time comes, just take your time with some of the remaining things. Li Yulin replied happily, although he owed a lot of silver, but looking at the blue brick and tiled house here, he was so happy in his heart. If only the child were still alive!

It's been almost a month since the house was started, and the weather is slowly getting colder, so I have to hurry up and go to the mountains to pick up some firewood. Otherwise, if the moisture enters the body, it is easy to get sick.

Following.

Li Haitang got up early in the morning, and after making a simple breakfast in the kitchen, he packed up and prepared to go up the mountain to collect firewood. Li Zhao said that the firewood in the house was not allowed to be taken away at all.

"Where are you going?" Gu Yongjia asked at the gate of the courtyard.

Li Haitang gave him a blank look: "Go to the mountains to collect firewood." ”

Since establishing a marriage contract with himself, this product has become very awkward and completely incomprehensible. Acting suddenly, occasionally talking to himself, sometimes seeing himself with his eyes turned to the sky, completely as if he didn't see it, what did this young man think? Unpredictable, Li Haitang had to hide from a distance first, but the more he hid, the more this thing pretended to come forward inadvertently again and again. Alas~

"You wait for me."

Gu Yongjia turned around and got into the firewood room, and when he came out, he carried a bundle of hemp rope in his hand and a machete pinned to his waist. It's just that where can he chop wood in a green shirt?

Li Haitang stood there staring at him, Gu Yongjia was a little uncomfortable: "What are you looking at?" ”

"Are you sure you wear this and follow me to the mountains?" Li Haitang asked, but in his heart he scolded the loser, is this kind of good material clothes used to chop wood? Also, is it really good for you to go up the mountain in a robe?

Gu Yongjia looked down at himself, put the machete and hemp rope on the ground, and turned back to the house, and after a while, Gu Yongjia, who was wearing a blue linen jacket and a pair of black cloth shoes on the legs, came out and asked, "Is this okay?" ”

Li Haitang nodded reluctantly: "Keep up, there are a lot of dangers on the mountain." ”

Li Haitang's tone stabbed Gu Yongjia's pride, he snorted and strode beside Li Haitang.

"Eldest sister, Brother Yongjia, what are you going to do?" Li Dongsheng's small voice sounded behind him.

"I'll go to the mountains to pick up some firewood, Dongsheng, you and Dongmei are obedient at home, help Aunt Gu do some work, don't just play." Li Haitang admonished.

Li Dongsheng looked at Li Haitang and then at Gu Yongjia, nodded reluctantly, took Li Dongmei's hand and said, "Let's go, the two of them won't take us there, let's be at home obediently." ”

"Why don't you bring it?" Li Dongmei asked ignorantly.

"Because they want to cultivate a relationship, it's inconvenient for us to go." Li Dongsheng said matter-of-factly.

Li Haitang, who had just taken a few steps, stumbled and almost fell, what was in the head of this little ghost? Sneaking a glance at Gu Yongjia and finding that his face did not change, Li Haitang was slightly relieved.

Gu Yongjia's physical strength is much better than Li Haitang imagined, he originally thought that this product could not keep up with his speed, but now it seems that the person's face is not red and breathless, it seems that going up the mountain is a trivial matter for him. It's just that it's really good to bring firewood at home to Gu Yongjia, who has always been bought?

After reaching the destination, Li Haitang spread the hemp rope on the ground, looked left and right, chose a dead tree and waved the machete. After more than ten strokes, the withered little tree was cut down! Li Haitang touched the sweat on his head, cut off the branches or something, cut the long part into a length of about one meter, and put it on the paved hemp rope in a regular manner.

Gu Yongjia pursed the corners of his lips, thinking how difficult it was, such a simple matter, he would not lose to Li Haitang, a little girl.

Select the target and push it all at once.

Li Haitang was dumbfounded, is this thing chopping wood? Can this lush tree be used for firewood?

The tree I chose was not old, and it was several laps bigger than my own.

Seeing Li Haitang looking at him, Gu Yongjia grinned, as if to say, how about it, I chose this!

Li Haitang felt that he could suddenly understand the mind of this goods, this was a declaration of war, and he did not admit defeat to himself.

"That ......," Li Haitang said, "Gu Yongjia, are you sure you're chopping wood?" ”

"How?" Gu Yongjia raised his eyebrows, "Isn't this firewood?" ”

Li Haitang swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Yes, it's firewood, but can you tell me, can you burn the fire if you cut this back?" ”

Someone wondered, why can't this thing be on fire? It's big, straight, good-looking, and it must be thriving when it burns, right? Wait, this tree is green and wet.

Gu Yongjia only felt that his face was like a fire.

Gu Yongjia didn't speak, and walked to the side silently, looking for the same dead tree as Li Haitang's hand.

This little episode, when Li Haitang thought about it later, he laughed and had a stomachache, and someone angrily stopped Li Haitang's laughter. Of course, that's a later story, so let's not show it for the time being.

The two fought for a long time, one of them cut a large bundle of firewood, Li Haitang quickly tied up his own chopped firewood, made a button, and prepared to carry it back. Turning his head to look at Gu Yongjia, this thing looked at a pile of firewood in a daze, how could it be tied up?

Li Haitang was helpless, how could the people who bought firewood in the town do such work? Li Haitang squatted down and taught hand-in-hand.

"So, so...... In this way! Will it be? Li Haitang neatly buttoned it.

Gu Yongjia nodded and replied honestly: "Yes!" ”

After Li Haitang carried a bundle of firewood on her back, she looked at Gu Yongjia, and she always felt in her heart that he couldn't carry this bundle of firewood.

Probably feeling the contempt in Li Haitang's eyes, Gu Yongjia easily picked it up under her gaze, joke, although he has never done such a job, but the exercise has never been broken, this bundle of firewood is really too small.

In order to show that he was very powerful, Gu Yongjia strode past Li Haitang and walked back along the road he came.

Because they were carrying firewood, they always walked slower than when they came, and when they got home, it was almost noon. Putting down the firewood, Li Haitang went into the kitchen to help Gu Su's lunch, and there were a lot of people working outside.

"How is Yongjia working?" Gu Sushi asked while lighting the fire.

"Well, it's not bad. If you are smart, you will be able to teach it. However, Aunt Gu, is it really good for him to do this? Li Haitang asked, why is it that she is also a pampered person, and she is still a reader, and in her impression, readers are powerless.

Gu Sushi glanced at her and said, "What's not good, if Yongjia wants to take root here, learn how to live, and learn how to support himself, this is what he must do." ”

Li Haitang bowed his head and was silent.

Gu Yongjia changed into the clothes he wore on the mountain today in the house, and there were big blisters on his shoulders, which hurt when he touched them, although he endured the pain and came back, but at this moment, even the clothes hurt on his shoulders. Why is that little girl so powerful, carrying the same amount of firewood, and going to the kitchen to help when she comes back!

After cooking, Li Haitang beckoned the working villagers to eat, packed up everything again, and continued to take the hemp rope and machete to prepare to go up the mountain.

"Still going?" Gu Yongjia asked.

Li Haitang nodded, "Yes!" Where is there enough firewood? ”

Gu Yongjia gritted his teeth, went into the firewood room to get something, and followed Li Haitang.

"Are you alright?" Li Haitang said with concern.

Gu Yongjia glanced at her: "Why not?" ”

Li Haitang stopped talking, why is this thing so awkward, always competing with himself? This man, who had never done farm work, walked back with that large bundle of firewood on his back, and it was strange that his shoulders were not worn out.

It was still the place of the first day, Li Haitang chopped wood silently, and did not talk to Gu Yongjia, but when he finally tied up the firewood, he combined the ones cut by Gu Yongjia with his own cutting, and then tied them tightly with two ropes.

Gu Yongjia glared, "What are you doing?" ”

Li Haitang ignored him, searched carefully in the grass around her, and after a while, her eyes lit up and she found it.

Gu Yongjia saw that she was holding a green grass in her hand, crumpled it in her palm, and said to Gu Yongjia: "Untie the clothes on your shoulders." ”

Gu Yongjia frowned and refused to move, he was a man, how could he untie his clothes in front of a little girl?

Seeing that he didn't move, Li Haitang's apricot eyes glared: "Hurry up, you have to go back when you get it!" ”

Gu Yongjia just refused to do it, Li Haitang was speechless, what kind of shyness are you for a man!

To put it mildly, Gu Yongjia finally turned his face away and untied the clothes on his shoulders.

Li Haitang pressed the crumpled grass in his hand on Gu Yongjia's shoulder, and inhaled in pain.

After getting it done, Li Haitang asked, "Is it better?" ”

This thing hurt a little when I got it, but now it's cooler, and it's really much more comfortable.

Gu Yongjia nodded: "What is this?" ”

Li Haitang carried the firewood for two people to his shoulders, and said without looking back: "Little thistle, anti-inflammatory." ”

Li Haitang is small, and the firewood for these two people blocked her body, and Gu Yongjia wanted to take it several times, but she refused: "Your shoulder is waiting for the scab, and next time you can resist wear." The first time I did it, my shoulder was also worn out. ”

How many times does this have to be worn out before you can carry so much firewood?

Finally got home, Li Haitang put down the firewood and gasped for breath, he was so tired!

"Sister, here you go." Li Dongsheng held a handkerchief and handed it to her.

"Where did it come from?" Li Haitang asked, this handkerchief looks like the material is of high quality.

"Brother Yongjia gave it, and said it was used for the eldest sister to wipe her sweat." Li Dongsheng said with a grin.

Is this a gesture of goodwill? Li Haitang shook his head, whatever, it's useful to keep this thing anyway. After wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead, Li Haitang put the handkerchief in his arms and got up and walked to his new house. Dad said earlier, this gaiwa is usually finished in one day, at this time, it should be about the same, right?

"Dad, how many more?" Li Haitang found Li Yulin and asked.

"Soon, soon, Begonia, I'll be done when it gets dark!" Li Yulin replied loudly.

My house has finally been completed, and I must decorate it well this time, Li Haitang thought beautifully in his heart.

"Dick."

Li Haitang didn't like this voice very much, this house has been built for so long, and Li Zhao has never appeared in their sight, what are you doing here?

"Mother." Although Li Yulin was a little apprehensive in his heart, he still greeted him in a regular manner.

Li Zhao looked at the house, and sighed in his heart, this blue brick and tile house is just beautiful! I've never lived in such a nice house in my life!

"This house is built?" Li Zhao asked.

"It's going to be good right away, and the tiles will be finished when it's dark. Wait for a few more days to dry, and then you can go in and live. Li Yulin replied.

"Tsk, that's good. Second, you tell your mother the truth, how much silver did your concubine give you to build a house? Li Zhao asked in a low voice.

Li Yulin was stunned for a moment, what kind of concubine?

Li Haitang sighed in his heart on the side, eighty percent of what the Yang family said before, and Li Zhao also knew it.

"Milk, what are you talking about? What is a concubine? Li Haitang asked with a strong curiosity on his face.

No matter how thick-skinned Li Zhao is, he can't explain his concubine in front of his granddaughter! If this spreads, she won't become the laughing stock of ten miles and eight villages?

"Go, go, what do the children know?" Li Zhao waved his hand impatiently.

Li Yulin also reacted at this time, the color on his face was not very good-looking, but he still held back his anger and said: "Mother, the money for building this house was borrowed by my son, and every one of them has a detailed record, and it will be repaid when the time comes, but there is no such concubine as my mother said!" ”

Li Zhao pouted: "I'm your mother, what can you do?" Although the family is separated, I am still your mother, and I can still manage your affairs. This house is so big, it's been built, if I don't help you check it, if someone else cares about it, isn't this house just for the sassy * hoof and the who has no father to fool it? ”

Li Zhao's voice was loud, and he shouted in the direction of the Gu family's courtyard, which was clearly for Gu Su's family.

Li Haitang was so angry that he really wanted to tear Li Zhao's mouth apart, why couldn't this dead old woman see others live a good life? When she was tired of building a house, she didn't see anyone, and just when it was about to be finished, she came running and spraying feces all over her mouth.

"Mother, what are you talking about?" Li Yulin said anxiously, they owe Gu's mother and son enough, most of the silver in this house is given by others, although when they gave it, they also said that this is a dowry for Begonia, but everyone knows that marrying a daughter-in-law in the countryside is only a dowry of five taels of silver, which is a tenfold increase, people are willing to help, and they are afraid of refusal, so they say so!

Gu Su's style walked out, and that temperament gave people the feeling of a fairy.

"Aunt Li is here." Gu Sushi saluted, "Come home for a cup of tea?" ”

Seeing that Gu Su was not angry at all, Li Zhao was very strange, if someone else was buried by himself like this, could he still be so calm? The woman didn't react at all, but Li Zhao didn't know what to do.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Gu Sushi said again: "Aunt Li, after waiting for Haitang and Yongjia to get married, we are real relatives, and the two families will have to move around more when the time comes!" ”

"Yongjia damn, you're right, this must be more moving. Since our two families are relatives, it is natural that the family does not speak two words, no, our family has been a little nervous recently, Yongjia mother, you are from a big place, this silver must be more than our countrymen, why don't you lend me something? Li Zhao smiled.

"Aunt Li, where are you talking about? How much silver can I have for my fatherless and widows? Even if there is, it will be kept for Yongjia and Begonia in the future, I can't move around. Gu Sushi smiled gently and replied.

Li Zhao rolled his eyes: "Really?" You can't lend it to my wife, but you can lend it to my son, you say you're a widow, what kind of heart do you have? ”

Li Yulin pulled Li Zhao's hand: "Mother, what are you talking about?" Where did you hear them chewing on the base of their tongues? ”

Li Zhao said impatiently: "I chewed the root of my tongue? There is no wind in vain, and everyone understands this truth. ”

Gu Sushi was not angry at all: "Oh, what Aunt Li said is that I didn't give Brother Dalin fifty taels of silver?" ”

Li Zhao's eyes lit up, good guy, fifty taels, this is really not a small amount! I wonder how many fifty taels this widow has in her house?

"Yes, yes, that's it. Say, what's your idea? You are a woman of unknown origin, I can't just enter the door of our Li family without knowing anything! Li Zhao hurriedly said, don't take the initiative to hand over the silver in her hand, don't think about entering the door of the Li family.

"Aunt Li, what are you talking about? Although I took out the fifty taels of silver, I also made it clear that this is a dowry gift from my family to the Dalin brothers' family, why do you have to buckle a basin for me, auntie? Gu Sushi sighed, with tears in the corners of his eyes, and he was very aggrieved.

Dowry? With an ordinary person marrying a daughter-in-law with a dowry of five taels at most, these fifty taels are enough to marry ten daughters-in-law. This widow is blind!

"Who are you fooling? Don't think I don't know how much the dowry for this daughter-in-law is, your fifty taels are obviously given to him because of my second son's friendship. Li Zhao didn't give up, "Come and see, this shameless widow is desperately squeezing the door of my Li family, my Li family is an innocent family, how can she let a prostitute like her ruin the door?" ”

The countryman's favorite thing to see is that it is lively, and the people who helped to cover the tile heard Li Zhao's shouts and gathered around, pointing and pointing.

Li Zhao was very proud: "You still dare to say that you don't want to?" Let the big guy evaluate and judge, who can give fifty taels for the dowry? Is this marrying a fairy daughter?! ”

Li Yulin was anxious to blast away the people who were watching the excitement around him, this is obviously a secret matter, why is it known to everyone? The old lady is really, is it necessary to come out and talk about this?

Gu Sushi sneered: "You marry a relative here for a dowry of five taels of silver, and if we marry a relative, the dowry of fifty taels of silver is less." Why, I follow the habits of our side, can't I still do it? ”

Li Zhao didn't believe it, and spat on the ground: "Who are you fooling?" There you are! Do you dare to say where you are? ”

"Tongcheng."

Where is Tongcheng? How could Li Zhao know? However, there are people in the crowd who know, "Tongcheng I know, it's far away from us, and an old watch in my distance has been in Tongcheng, and the people over there are rich, and it costs ten taels of silver to eat a meal in a restaurant!" ”

As soon as he said this, the people around him basically believed that they were married in Tongcheng, and they got at least a dowry of fifty taels. There is so much silver, why is this widow not her own daughter, if so, isn't the fifty taels of silver her own?

Li Zhao had nothing to say now, and began to curse his eldest daughter-in-law in his heart, this Li family, if he doesn't inquire clearly, he will talk nonsense to himself, and his feelings are using himself as a stick!

"What do you say? My son pays you to watch the fun! Li Zhao shouted at the crowd of onlookers.

The people who watched the excitement didn't want to quarrel with her, so they all dispersed before the work was finished.

"Second child, your house has been built, and you can't live in so many houses, just right, winter is coming. The conditions over there in the old house are not good, so I will move in with your father and the third child and your sister-in-law. Li Zhao said slowly, without any embarrassment on his face, as if nothing had happened just now.

Li Haitang admired in his heart, Jiang is still old and spicy, this cheek is as thick as the city wall!
