After being busy for a while, because there was no sun today, and I don't know how early or late it was, everyone felt tired, so they sat down to rest.

Huang Li immediately took out a package and took some dried bamboo shoots for everyone to eat.

The cuckoo smiled and asked her, "Are you hungry?" ”

Huang Lijiao snorted twice and asked Lin Chun, "Brother Chunsheng, when you came, my eldest sister's rice was ready?" ”

Lin Chun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said, "I didn't go to your house, I don't know what to do." ”

The cuckoo swallowed the bamboo shoots in his mouth with a smile and said, "Do you still need to ask?" Lin Chundu finished work and came out to let off steam, it must have been noon. I'm afraid it's going to rain on this day, so let's catch a few more nets and go home. Bear with me! ”

Guixiang looked at Huang Li and laughed vigorously, thinking that it was too fun for her to think about eating all the time.

Jiu'er leisurely asked Lin Chun when he would get up in the house.

Lin Chun said that the date has been set, and ground will be broken on the first day of April.

Before, he and Xia Sheng had been preparing materials, such as stone slabs, load-bearing pillar stones, girders, purlins and rafters, partitions, etc., as well as bricks and tiles for inviting someone to open a kiln to burn, and now they are all ready. Just wait for the start of construction, hire enough manpower, and it will be completed in only four or five days.

Like the chief engineer, he first measured the area occupied by the new house, drew a pattern, and calculated the width and height of the walls, the required bricks, the length of the columns, and so on, so that he could prepare first.

Guixiang heard that there were eight upper rooms, four east and west, so she hurriedly asked: "Qiusheng and Xiasheng's cousins live in the upper room, you and Dongsheng live in the east and west wings, where do the big-headed uncle and aunt live?" ”

Lin Chun said: "Dad and mother can live with whoever they want." ”

Guixiang said: "Then the house is not enough." ”

Lin Chun understood what she meant, so he explained: "The width of the upper room is only enough to build eight rooms, but the backyard still needs to build a wing room." The wings in the front yard have transepts. So that there are five or six rooms at the head of each house. It's enough. ”

When Lin Chun was designing and planning the courtyard, Du Juan also helped him calculate. So I knew the pattern very well, so I didn't ask too much. only smiled: "In the future, the four of you will all get married, and each of you will have a few children, and the yard will be lively." Sooner or later, it's like—" she tilted her head in thought—"like a chicken out of a cage, swarming out. Tsk, tsk, it's spectacular! ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

Lin Chun glanced at the cuckoo deeply, and did not say a word or laugh.

Jiu'er smiled the most heartily and happily.

Du Juan's words meant that she didn't plan to marry Lin Chun, otherwise. Which little girl would say in front of her fiancé how many children she would have in the future......

She said, "In the future, the four of you will get married", which is completely irrelevant.

Guixiang smiled: "Ouch cuckoo, you are really good at comparing." ”

Du Juan said: "My grandfather's family is like this, it looks scary." ”

As he spoke, he asked Lin Chundao: "It's enough to live like this now, what should you do when you have more children in the future and the children grow up and marry?" ”

Because according to her, there is no place for the Lin family to build a yard anymore.

Lin Chun said: "In the future, when there are more people, this place will be left as an ancestral house for the eldest brother." We're all going to move out. It's the rule. My grandfather and my father used to live in Jiu'er, and they only moved out later. ”

The cuckoo suddenly realized: "I said it! ”

Then, she deliberately said to Jiu'er and Guixiang: "This is really 'people are more angry than people'!" Originally, the three families in that row were all about the same. Now Lin Chun's family has built the house so well, just erected in the middle, making it look like a big landlord's house. It makes me and Erya like a long-term worker in the landlord's family, so shabby! ”

Everyone was stunned. There was another burst of laughter, and even Lin Chun laughed.

Jiu'er Lang smiled: "You're still afraid that you won't have a good house to live in in the future!" ”

There was a different kind of expression in his expression and tone. It's hard to say it too clearly.

Guixiang thought the same thing again: she felt that Du Juan's words just now, as well as the previous words, were deliberately said to Lin Chun, which actually had a deep meaning and affection. Just like she often teases Jiu'er, she has to fight a few words and choke a few times when they meet, if the two of them speak politely or silently one day, it must be a conflict.

Girl, she has always thought the same thing in her heart, and said the same thing.

She smiled and said, "Brother Chunsheng, are you still afraid that you won't be able to live in a good house?" ”

Du Juan said: "That's it, I told Lin Chun a long time ago, and I must help me build a delicate small yard in the future, and the price will be cheaper." ”

Jiu'er was very happy to hear it - the meaning of the cuckoo was too obvious!

If she intended to marry Lin Chun, would she still say such a thing?

Naturally, it is to live in the current house of Lin Chun's family, where will it be built.

He made up his mind that he must find a good house foundation and build the most chic yard in the spring water village, so that the cuckoo likes it.

Guixiang also smiled secretly: Du Juan asked Lin Chun to help her build an "exquisite yard", but deliberately said that the price should be cheap. When the time comes, they will become a family, and they will talk about money or not.

Huang Li, who had listened for a long time, stuffed the last bamboo shoot into his mouth and ate it, clapped his hands, and said solemnly to Lin Chun: "Brother Chunsheng, after two years, I will ask you to help build a big house." It's not as wide as your house, it's bigger than your house—I'm going to build a two-story building!" 'If you want to be poor, go to the next level. 'Stand tall to see far!' ”

The little girl's eyes are very determined.

Lin Chun laughed in a low voice and replied briefly, "Okay! ”

The cuckoo was stunned.

She has always known that the little girl is a high-spirited girl, and she doesn't feel bad, but now she is a little worried, it seems that the older she gets, the stronger her temperament becomes.

She said to Huang Li seriously: "Huang Li, the second sister was joking just now. In fact, as long as the family is harmonious, it doesn't matter what kind of house you live in. Isn't it good to be like our family is now? ”

Huang Li said: "I didn't say anything bad. I want to build a better house, and that's right. Our family is all daughters, and daughters should live in the embroidery building. What's wrong with me wanting to build a small building? ”

Cuckoo: "......"

Jiu'er said: "Yes! Huang Li is ambitious! We'll all go and help when the time comes. ”

It's not cheap to build a house in the mountains. If nothing else, the tree grows deep in the mountains, and it will not run out on its own legs. It must be carried back after being cut down with strong labor.

The Lin family's father and son have four or five strong men, just like ants moving. After years of searching and laboring, I have saved a lot of good wood. to build the house it is today; The Huang family is an honest man, how can it be compared?

Huang Li is not talking in vain, she has already thought about it: spend money to hire someone to do it!

Otherwise, why would she practice so hard?

And that's not for the sake of making money!

In the past two years, the little uncle of the cuckoo wild tea pot took out the cuckoo and sold it, and it was also sold for dozens of taels of silver. Therefore, she is very confident and feels that after she learns martial arts, she will have no problem supporting the Huang family.

As he spoke, a drizzle of cow's hair drifted in the air, and the fields became foggy.

The cuckoo and the yellow bird hurriedly put on the bamboo hat and looked leisurely.

Lin Chun put his hand in his mouth. A loud whistle was blown, calling like the wind.

While waiting, he and Jiu'er each cast their nets and shrimps, waiting for the wind to come down from the mountain with a roe deer in their mouths like lightning, and a few people set out on their return journey.

Walking through the rain and mist, the mood seems to be washed and moistened by the rain and mist, revealing a fresh and vigorous vitality. Guixiang was very happy, and talked to the cuckoo as she walked.

Jiu'er wants to give the fish to the cuckoo. She refused, saying that she also fished a lot, so she didn't have to take care of her family anymore.

Jiu'er has a special mind about the red carp caught today, so he won't let it go. said: "This carp is rare, I will take it home and put it in the backyard pond to raise." ”

Guixiang immediately agreed.

The cuckoo scoffed, "This is not your style!" If you want to release them with a good heart, release them into the river at once; You want to eat it. If you take it home and kill it, you can count it as transcending it. So half-dead to go home. What is it to be trapped in that little pond in your backyard ever since? ”

Jiu'er hesitated. I wonder if I should turn around and release this fish into the river?

Lin Chun saw him stop and asked in surprise, "You don't really want to release these two carps, do you?" Did you make a wish at Niangniang Temple? ”

Jiu'er smiled awkwardly, there was no explanation, so she had to stop.

When I arrived at the fork in the road, I greeted Lin Chun and Cuckoo, and left with Guixiang.

When he arrived at the door, he took out a red carp and a large grass carp from the fish basket and said to Guixiang: "Here you go!" Don't say I'm stingy and don't take care of my sister. ”

Guixiang smiled: "Two red carp, it's not good to be separated." Why don't you burn it together, I'll eat it here at noon. ”

When Jiu'er heard this, she hurriedly put the fish back, "You go and call your aunt to come and eat too." ”

It's not that he is reluctant, but Guixiang's words hit his mind: if they fail to release the animals, they (i.e., two carps) must be killed together, and they will be reincarnated together from the animal path (as the cuckoo often says).

Guixiang happily went home and called her mother.

Here, Jiu'er took the fish home, and his mother and the old lady also said that he was lucky to catch such a pair of bright red carp today.

Jiu'er said proudly: "That's." This was only netted with the cuckoo. ”

When the big fierce daughter-in-law heard this, she exchanged glances with her grandmother-in-law and asked, "The cuckoo also went?" Didn't you go with Guixiang? ”

Jiu'er told me about the cuckoo shrimp.

Hearing that Lin Chun also went later, Da Meng's daughter-in-law sighed, stopped continuing the topic, picked up the fish basket and said, "Make sweet and sour fish at noon." You wash it first, and your hair is soaked. ”

Jiu'er was in a flying mood, turned around and took a tiger leap, and crossed the threshold.

Let's talk about the Huang family, after the cuckoo sisters arrived home, they cleaned up a little and had lunch.

After the meal, because there was no need to work in the field on rainy days, Feng Shi drove her daughter to do needlework, saving dust in the kitchen, and she washed the dried shrimp in her pocket, and slowly dried it in the pot with a warm fire.

On a leisurely rainy day, the cuckoo, the yellow finch and the yellow bird changed into clean clothes and sat at the door of the hall to do needlework, while Huang Laoshi was mending the basket that had been gnawed by the rats, and the father and daughter were gossiping and laughing while working.

Feng dried the shrimp kang, packed it in a large sieve, put it aside to dry, and then put it up for preservation when it was cold. When she was done, she went into the house to change into a clean dress and came out with the sole of her shoe.

Huang Li saw that her mother was also here, so she hurriedly brought a small bench to her.

Feng's eyes were still not as good as before, he thought the room was dark, and walked directly to the eaves of the porch outside with a small bench, put down and sat down, and did needlework and talk with the girls.

The position where she was sitting was facing east, facing the direction of the Lin family.

In the drizzle, although the upper room of the Lin family has not yet been erected, the east and west wings are also very spectacular, and her own house cannot be compared at all, so she was stunned, and wondered in her heart: Why didn't the Lin family come to Lin Chun to propose marriage? (To be continued......)
