Volume 1 Chapter 45: Renovating the Sparrow Courtyard

On the night of the separation, Pei Qin stewed a pot of bamboo rat meat, as for the rice in the big house? Do it yourself!

A few mothers drink a pot of soup, and it's almost over.

After eating, he packed up his things, carried them all into the house, soaked his feet, and slept with a latch.

Pei Wenli came over and leaned at the door to eavesdrop on what was being said in the house, but she didn't hear anything.

Pei Wendong was stuffing sugar in his mouth and was quietly sucking on the candy cubes.

Fang Shi looked at the black roof in a daze, crying.

Pei Qin didn't speak, thinking that Ming'er would find someone to smash the back wall and dig a door out. As for the door on this side of the courtyard, seal it with bricks! Anyway, there was a clearing outside, and the people who lived there were still a little far away, so they could have fenced a small courtyard and built a simple kitchen out of wooden planks.

In the other room, Sanya was about to speak, but Siya pushed her and let her sleep. Sanya also thought that someone was eavesdropping outside, so she simply didn't say anything.

This night, many people lost sleep for most of the night.

When he got up the next day, Pei Qin was full of vitality, woke up the Fang family, and went to the market.

The mothers got up, didn't do any work, washed their faces, cleaned up, and went out collectively.

Zhu got up and watched a few people go out with a gloomy face, "Now the stolen money has been spent!" ”

Fang was also asking Pei Qin how much money he had sold in total, and when he heard that there were two taels more, he was overjoyed and distressed.

"In the future, let's split up and just look forward! Only on your own! Live only for yourself! Work hard to make money, and a good day awaits us! Pei Qin was high-spirited and impassioned.

The Fang clan was also full of enthusiasm and looked forward to it. However, it would be more convincing if Pei Qin's hand did not point to the stall earlier.

"Come on! Eat first! After eating, let's go buy some rice, flour, oil, salt or something, and go back to find someone to clean up the house first! Pei Qin went over and asked each of them for a bowl of noodle soup for two buns.

Siya opened her mouth to complain about her spending money lavishly, but they didn't have any dry food, so they could only say dissatisfiedly, "There are mixed noodles and steamed buns, so I have to buy buns, and it costs a lot of money!" ”

"Money can only be earned if it is spent!" Pei Qin beckoned the Fang family to eat quickly.

After eating, I went to the rice noodle shop to buy some rice and millet, and bought some Shu millet noodles and cornmeal, but the white noodles Fang Shi did not let me buy them.

After buying all the oil and salt, the mother will quickly kill and go home.

Pei Qin went directly to the village to find two uncles who were doing mud work to come over and rebuild the house.

After gossiping about the details of their separation, and hearing that they were paid, the two uncles came over with bricks and planks.

Seeing that she was about to smash the wall and open the door outside, Old Man Pei and Pei Houli's faces were difficult to look at.

Pei Houli came over to speak.

"After the separation, the big house must not interfere with anything in the second room! You don't have the right to ask what we want to do! Pei Qin waved his hand and asked the two uncles to continue.

Zhu was about to scold here, and Chen reminded her that there were people in the family, and this would scold, so that everyone would know that if the second room was divided and no property was given, someone would scold them. Only then did Zhu hold back and remain silent.

Sure enough, many people in the village came to see the excitement and asked what was going on.

Pei Qin directly said that the family had broken up, and he didn't say much.

Many people are concerned about the matter, and some people ask directly with bad intentions.

Pei Qin glanced at him coldly, ignored it, and continued to work.

The houses were all made of large blocks of adobe, and it was not a big task to dig a hole, and in the morning the hole was cut out, and the frame and panel were removed. The two openings inside were blocked with bricks.

In this way, the door is opened to the outside, and there is no need to look down with the people of the old Pei family to see each other, and the wooden plank on the wall is also clean in the house.

The kang in the house was recoiled, and on the wall of the house, another layer of wooden planks was nailed to the wall. The outside has been reinstalled with a new good door panel, which is stronger and firmer.

The old door panels were used in the kitchen, one for the door and the other for the sawn board.

According to the fence around the kitchen house to the other side, it was made into a mini courtyard with two main rooms and a small kitchen house.

After picking up, Pei Qin stood in the yard with her waist pinched with satisfaction, "Although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs!" ”

The money is running out! Siya complained dissatisfiedly with a long face.

Chen and Zhu looked at this side for a day, and wanted to come over to take a look, but they were afraid that people would pull them to ask about the separation.

Pei Wenli cheekily came over to check, and went back and said what they had done, "They must have hidden a lot of money!" Otherwise, where would you get the money to buy those things! Where did they get the money? It must have been stolen! ”

"If you have a lot of money at home, don't shout!" Old Man Pei's swarthy face hadn't changed for a day.

Pei Wenli pursed her lips secretly, unconvinced. If they didn't steal the money, where did they get the money!? She gritted her teeth when she thought of going up the mountain and losing it, as well as Pei Qin's loss when she went to the town to catch the market. They must have secretly sold something to make money, and then hid the money and didn't hand it over, let alone split up! Definitely! Didn't they sell a lot of wild eggs and persimmons last time!?

But now that they've separated, it's too late to talk about it.

Smoke wafted from the small courtyard, and Fang's and the three and four were crowded in the small kitchen.

Pei Qin was on the ground outside, holding a branch to teach Pei Wendong to read and write.

Millet porridge, corn pot cakes, fried cabbage with tofu.

It's the first dinner in a new home. Although the tea was coarse and the rice was light, the mothers sat around and ate at the humble small table with half of the door panel pressed their legs, but they couldn't help but smile on their faces.

Because the kang was re-plated, there was some dampness, and the charcoal fire was burned all the time, and when it was cleaned up at night, it lay down on the hot kang.

"Sure enough, there are too many hard days, so I feel beautiful!" Pei Qin sighed.

Fang's eyes were sour, "It's all mother..."

"That's it! Come on! If you're tired from the day, go to bed early! Wake up early tomorrow and go up the mountain! After earning money, we can live in a big house, put on new clothes, and eat and drink spicy food! Pei Qin said, and his pride came out. With her, you can eat and drink spicy food.

Fang Shi endured the sourness and nodded with a smile, "Mother believes that if we work hard together, we will definitely be able to live a good life!" ”

In the other room, Siya finally couldn't help complaining that Pei Qin spent too much money, there was no need to nail a circle of wooden planks in the house, it looked clean, but after finishing the house, the silver was spent. Otherwise, two taels of silver to buy mixed noodles and vegetables, and salt, will be enough for them to survive this winter! Nowadays, there are not many winter bamboo shoots on the mountain, and bamboo rats are not caught every time.

Fang's family has been thinking about doing embroidery work, although her embroidery work has fallen a little over the years, but she can't make much money to embroider and sell, and she can also earn some money to buy vegetables and salt.

Pei Qin's this, all the strange ways to make money in his mind have popped up, some of which are not applicable now, but selling some gadgets can't make a lot of money, but it's also money.

So when she got up at dawn and didn't have any harvest on the mountain, Pei Qin came back with a few winter bamboo shoots and asked Fang's fried winter bamboo shoots to cook, and she went to Sun Tiezhu's house in the afternoon. That kid has already been sold, I don't know how it sells!?
