Chapter Title: Chapter 60 Buying Land

Chapter 60: Buying Land

Lin Xu glanced at Qiu Chen, saw Qiu Chen smiling and nodded, then turned his face to the old man respectfully and said: "Back to the old man, my courtyard is in the east of the village, and now there are no adult men in the family to take care of it, only the sister-in-law and a woman take care of our uncle and nephew, and the original low and old fence in the house is a little insufficient, so I discussed with my sister-in-law to pull a courtyard wall, and the sister-in-law can't sleep at night because of worrying about her safety." ”

Listening to Lin Xu say the same as what he heard, and the reason stated is also common. After all, there are no adult men in the family, and orphans and widows are inevitably frightened, so thinking that pulling the courtyard wall is not a mistake, the old man Liu Yugui stroked the sparse beard under his chin and nodded.

Lin Xu said again: "There is another thing, please ask the old man for permission, I discussed with my sister-in-law, I want to buy the barren slope land behind my yard, and take advantage of this time to pull the courtyard wall and circle it together......"

Speaking of which, Lin Xu couldn't say any more, he couldn't say that he bought that land to build a stable, a chicken coop, and a roe deer shed, right?

Qiu Chen took it with a smile: "Old man, I won't tell you, although Ah Fu's father is gone, but when he is ......, he wants to watch my uncle grow up, marry and start a family" Speaking of this, Qiu Chen lowered his head, raised his hand and pressed the corner of his eye with a handkerchief, sniffed again, and then continued, "Now, although Ah Fu's father can't be a father, I, as a sister-in-law, dare not forget his father's thoughts." So, I thought about buying that piece of land, although I don't have the financial resources to build any yards, but as long as I have land, I will slowly save money to build a house. When the time comes, telling my uncle about a virtuous and gentle wife can be regarded as fulfilling that idea for Daddy Fu! ”

After saying these words, Zhenzhen remembered the idea of a deceased husband who was not forgotten, and worked hard to make a ten out of ten for his brother-in-law to calculate a virtuous woman. The mournful but strong expression of the eyes, anyone who sees it can only sigh, a trace of pity, where can there be any awkward thoughts.

Of course, Liu Yugui had long forgotten to give the Lin family's uncle and sister-in-law a warning lesson, so he stroked his beard and nodded again and again: "This is not bad. Well, that barren slope is useless, and it is an ownerless wasteland, so I will be the master and buy it for you at the price of two taels of silver per acre. ”

Speaking of this, without waiting for Qiu Chen and Lin Xu to answer, the old man Liu Yugui raised his head and instructed Liu Manyin: "Go, call a few people, go to the back of the Lin family to measure the wasteland over there, and by the way, carry a few wooden pegs to define the land." ”

Liu Manyin saw that the old man and the Lin family's uncle and sister-in-law said that they had surrendered, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and promised to go out to find someone to measure the land.

Originally, Qiu Chen thought that he would even buy the depression outside the gate and use it to dig a pond, but he didn't expect Liu Yugui and Liu Manyin to speak so quickly that they didn't give her time to talk at all. After a moment of silence, Qiu Chen saw that the old man Liu Yugui began to discuss with Lin Xu to find a witness and write the title deed, so he took the opportunity to take the two children to leave.

Before leaving, he also invited their mother and son to go out of the Ji family, and on the day when they got to the gate building, they went to Lin's house to sit. It is a big deal to build a house in the village and pull the courtyard wall, the beam of the house, the gate tower of the courtyard wall will be regarded as a ceremony, put a few firecrackers, when the time comes, the people in the village will also come together to congratulate, the main family will also open two tables according to their own situation, or invite the village to be old, and the conditions are good, and the whole village will be invited to open a flowing water seat. Qiu Chen personally invited the Ji family to sit at the table, which was also a great face, and the Ji family was naturally very happy, and he was busy agreeing that he would definitely go in the future. In his heart, he planned to send his daughter-in-law to help when the Lin family started work tomorrow.

With the two children, I hurriedly returned home, and saw Liu Manyin and the two young men who had just finished measuring the barren hillside behind them and were walking down this side. Qiu Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, adjusted his breathing, and greeted him with a smile.

When he understood that Qiu Chen planned to even spread it at the door, and use it to dry medicine in the future, so he wanted to buy a depression outside the gate, Liu Manyin actually agreed without hesitation, and shouted to the two young people to measure the land boundary, and also carefully looked for the wooden peg to define.

Taking advantage of the time for a few people to measure the land, Qiu Chen went to Manchu's house, explained the land purchase to Manho's father, and asked Manho's father to be a witness. Naturally, Father Man Hoard didn't say anything, nodded again and again and said that buying land was a serious matter, and without waiting for Qiu Chen to leave, he hurriedly left with his hands behind his back.

Qiu Chen returned home, hurriedly made a pot of tea, just before going out to stew the pig's head and pig's trotters were ripe, Qiu Chen took the rough-edged paper and wrapped three pig's trotters, and walked out of the house, it happened that Liu Manyin led the two young men to measure the acres, Qiu Chen beckoned the three of them into the yard to wash their hands and drink tea.

Liu Manyin and the two young men looked at the neat and neat stacks of green bricks in the yard, and their eyes couldn't help but show envy. Qiu Chen poured tea and handed it to them, smiled and greeted, and then smiled and invited: "Start work the day after tomorrow, if you don't have work at home, please come over and help!" ”

Before the two young men could respond, Liu Manyin immediately nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, Mrs. Lin, we live in a village, and if there is a big incident in someone's family, everyone will naturally come to help." The day after tomorrow, when I put down my rice bowl early in the morning, I led my laborers with me. ”

Liu Manyin said so, and the two young men naturally agreed happily.

The three of them drank tea, Qiu Chen thanked him, took out the wrapped pig's trotters and handed them to the three of them. Liu Manyin smiled and accepted it politely, the pig's trotters in the paper bag were still hot, exuding a rich meat fragrance, and the two young men naturally accepted it happily. followed Liu Manyin to say goodbye and leave.

When Liu Manyin returned home and told Mr. Liu about the measurement results, Mr. Liu really asked, and Liu Manyin paved the dirt road at the door of the Lin family to facilitate the neighbors to enter and exit, and Mr. Liu nodded and stopped making a sound.

In this way, the two wastelands are combined, and the Lin family purchased two pieces of land this time, which are four acres of wasteland on the hillside and one acre of silver; The low-lying wasteland is 12 acres and 6 cents, because the low-lying land cannot be produced, according to the price of one or two halves of silver per mu, it is a total of 27 taels of silver. The land price is lower than Qiu Chen's budget depression, so he naturally knows that Liu Yugui took care of it, so he is naturally grateful and happy.

After calculating the two counts of the silver he bought, Lin Xu did not have the slightest abnormality, and without hesitation, he took out a full amount of silver from his pocket to pay the price of the silver.

Liu Manyin watched Lin Xu unambiguously take out such a large sum of money, but he secretly confirmed his plan to make good friends with the Lin family, and he would not be wrong.

After that, Lin Xu invited Mr. Xu, Manchu's father, and another village elder to witness together, signed, pressed his fingerprint, and signed the title deed. Nearly nineteen acres of land officially belonged to the Lin family.

A few helping women have basically finished the work under Zhou's dispatch. Qiu Chen went home and helped them do the finishing work, laughing while telling them that if Ming'er came over again, they didn't have to prepare cooking at home, and when the time came, the Dulin family would eat, and those women naturally agreed happily.

Everyone washed their hands and prepared to leave, and Lin Xu and his father also came back.

As soon as he saw Qiu Chen, Lin Xu took out the written title deed from his arms and handed it to his sister-in-law. Qiu Chen was also full of joy, took the thin piece of paper and opened it, on which it was clearly written, the location of the land, the number of acres, the price, etc., and then there were the handprints signed by Mura Zheng and Lin Xu, as well as the signature handprints of Mr. Xu, Manchu's father and another village elder. At this point, the barren slope behind the Lin family's yard, even the depression outside the gate, has officially belonged to the Lin family.

However, this title deed is only valid in the village, and people are used to calling it 'white deed'. If you want the land to be recognized by the government, you have to go to the county government to record the file, pay the deed silver, and press the county government official seal, then it can be regarded as officially recognized by the government. The deed stamped with the government's grand seal is commonly known as the 'red deed'.

When Qiu Chen unfolded the title deed to look at it, those women also came up to take a look, although they were illiterate, but it did not prevent them from knowing the title deed, which is a particularly important property certificate of the farmhouse.

Lan Ying also came over at this time, and shouted in a loud voice: "Begonia, where did this land deed come from?" ”

Qiu Chen was also secretly amused at Lan Ying's love, but he smiled on the surface: "No, the place for frying medicine is too aggrieved, so I bought the barren slope behind it, and when the courtyard wall is pulled up, we can have a clean place for stir-frying and drying medicine." ”

As soon as these words came out, without Lan Ying saying it, Qingshan and Qinghe's family shouted loudly. Before, every day to fry the medicine and dry the medicine, are in a small shed, not to mention the space is narrow and aggrieved, every night also have to put the medicine bamboo into the room, so as not to dew or rain at night, if there is a special place for frying medicine and drying medicine, according to the habits of the Lin family, they will definitely build a separate drying shed, when the time comes, they work brightly, in case of rain or weather, do not have to worry about the medicinal materials being wet, or mildew...... In short, they may not be able to say it, but subconsciously feel that there are many benefits!

The three of them were happy, and the others next to them didn't care what they thought in their hearts, but they all congratulated the Lin family on buying a family business with a happy face. Some people also admired that the Lin family was on fire these days. There are also a few women with a spicy personality, who directly asked Lin Xu if he was married, and some even took his niece directly and said that it was like a flower, and Lin Xu fled back to his room in embarrassment with paper, pen and books. The way he looked undoubtedly pleased the women, and he burst into a burst of giggling laughter.

Sending these women out, Zhou took Qingshan and Qinghe's family to start cooking dinner, while Qiu Chen and Lan Ying made tea, boiled hot water, and beckoned a few people to wash their hands and drink tea and rest.

Yang Shuyong stopped at the head of the carriage, and the first one laughed loudly: "Begonia is what kind of delicious food has been renovated, and this fragrance will smell as soon as you enter the village!" ”

Qiu Chen and Zhou Shi came out when they heard the sound of the carriage, and Lin Xu also changed his old clothes and came out to help unload the car. But Yang Shuyong smiled and pushed away: "Brother Xu, don't partner here, just two horses are sweating, you have to walk well to drink water and feed grass, you can take the horse to the hillside to walk." Slip on a stick of incense, and then lead it to the river to drink! ”

After a long run or a hard work, the horses are sweaty and cannot be fed immediately, so they have to be led around a few times by people to wait for the sweat to subside before they can drink water. If the weather is warm between late spring and early autumn, it is good to give the horse a bath and brush the fur, which will help the horse relieve fatigue and not be prone to disease.

Lin Xu grew up in Si, although the Lin family has never raised livestock, and the village is familiar with it, these basic precautions for feeding livestock are still known. Looking at the two horses pulling bricks and tiles twice in a row today, they were all sweating, their nostrils were wide open, and they were panting, obviously tired. Lin Sheng loves horses, and he was naturally distressed when he saw the appearance of the horses, so he led the horses out of the door without objection.

Seeing Lin Xu go out, Yang Shuyong turned around and said to a few helpers: "Brother Xu is young...... this is to explain why he doesn't let his family do tiring work."

But no one cared about those few people, it was the clever Qingshan who said with a smile: "Brother Yang is too out-of-this, we are all from such a big age, how can we not know that teenagers can't carry heavy physics, in case they pout and press, it's not a joke, it's a lifelong thing to be sick!" ”

Qinghe also smiled: "Mules and horses are big animals, so naturally they have to be served carefully, Xuzi can't be sloppy in this job!" ”

Lin Xu is at this age in the stage of physical development, his bones are fragile, and he will not exert force when he works, if he is bold and resistant to heavy things, he is likely to hurt his body, fall into the root of the disease, and will be plagued by illness for the rest of his life, and even become a long-term sick bed. As the saying goes, this is called 'pouting' and 'pressing'.

Qiu Chen didn't say much, greeted with a smile, lit the prepared torch and brought it over to illuminate the unloading of the car. Then, he went back, and filled the two kettles with water at the same time, ready to wash and quench the thirst of the men after their work.

The others were ready, and Qiu Chen began to prepare the evening meal.

Flipping the pot, with the steaming heat, a rich aroma of meat comes to the face. After waiting for a while, when the steam dissipated, Qiu Chen took a big fence and stretched it into the pot to fish it out, and the pig heart, liver, lungs, intestines, and pork belly were all fished out.

Over there, Lan Ying and Qingshan's family had already set up a large cutting board, holding a kitchen knife and waiting, when they saw Qiu Chen bringing the meat over, the two of them smiled and started cutting the meat. The people in the village pay attention to the affordability, the heart, liver and lungs are cut into thin slices, the belly is cut into shreds, and the intestines are cut into segments, and they are all put into the prepared clay pots. On the other side, Qinghe's family had already cut a pot of cabbage strips and radish slices, and poured them all into the pork soup to stew. Part of the chopped groceries were poured back into the pot, and some pig blood flakes were poured in, Qiu Chen was in charge of seasoning, adjusting the taste, and then covered the pot again and simmered on high heat.

On the other side, Zhou pounded half a bowl of garlic with a stone mortar. Qiu Chen took it and divided it into two parts, put soy sauce and old vinegar respectively, and added sesame oil, it became an appetizing dipping dish. Fu'er Man'er and Shanzi and a group of children looked at them with big black eyes, although they were salivating, they didn't even ask for it, but they saw their little looks in a blink of an eye, Qiu Chen was distressed and funny.

She bent her fingers and scratched the children's little noses one by one, smiled and used a small basin to hold some cut groceries, and also made them a dipping plate, so that the children could eat on the kang first.

After the two cars were unloaded, the water in the kettle was hot, Lan Ying and Qinghe's family were older, and they were not afraid of anything, so they carried the kettle to pour water for the men to wash.

Qiu Chen put a square table on the ground of the house, and the Qingshan family quickly brought several plates of meat and dipping dishes to the table, while Zhou poured the wine into the pot and went to the stove to heat it. Lin Xu also slipped back from his horse at this time, and Qiu Chen asked him to call Manchu's father to come over for dinner together. I bought the land today, and the first man hoarded the estimate that the materials and labor would change accordingly, and while eating, I just took the labor and materials to estimate it.

Very, more than a dozen men washed their hands and faces and entered the house, Lin Xu also came back with Manchu's father, Qiu Chen also let him into the house, sat down on the table, and handed the hot wine jug to Lin Xu, she beckoned the woman and the children into the back room.

The men were on the table, and the women were able to catch their breath.

Greeting the three of Zhou and Lan Ying, as well as six or seven children, they were placed on the kang table and sat together. Served a pot of stew very proudly, cut a pot of meat slices, and then raised his hand with a smile: "Eat with chopsticks, move slowly, I don't care if I can't eat enough!" ”

Qiu Chen put one in the square table hall,

Everyone laughed, and the children were stuffed with meat in their mouths, and their little mouths were busy with oil, and they laughed along.

These people are either their own family members, or they have been with Qiu Chen for a long time, and no one is restrained or polite, everyone takes the steamed buns, throws off the chopsticks and eats them.

There are not so many rules for eating in the village, everyone eats while talking and laughing, and the atmosphere at the dinner table does not need to be carefully adjusted, it is very lively. A few children have big eyes and small bellies, and they are very full. With a handful of dishes and chopsticks, I couldn't sit still for a moment, and ran to the yard to play.

Lan Ying and the Qingshan family both instructed the children to avoid those green brick stacks, it was not a joke that the thing collapsed.

After eating and drinking, several women helped Qiu Chen clean the dishes, chopsticks and pans, and then said goodbye to the men.

Yang Shuyong and Lin Xu discussed the results of the man, and the man told Qiu Chen about his estimates, and said that the courtyard wall was lengthened and three more west chambers were added, and when he went to the brick kiln tomorrow, he had to set some more bricks and tiles. Other woods and carpentry are all contacted by Manchu's father.

After saying this, Yang Shuyong asked suspiciously: "You can buy the barren slope in the back and expand it into the yard, but what are you going to do when you buy the depression in front of the yard?" But I saw that the land is a lot lower, and if you make a yard, it will take a lot of truckloads of earth and stones to fill it up, which is too cost-effective, not to mention, you are just a few people now, and it is useless to make a yard too big. ”

Qiu Chen smiled and shook his head: "Big brother, I forgot to tell you, I didn't buy the depression in front of me to make a yard, not only do I not have to fill it, but I also have to dig it well, bring in water from the river, and build a pond......"

"Fix the pond?" Yang Shuyong was puzzled. They grew up in the north, and they are far more familiar with the mountains and rocks and the land than with water, and for them, water can be drunk, washed, watered, and fed to livestock.

Stunned, Yang Shuyong remembered that he had heard a driver talk about a rich and noble family, and couldn't help but guess: "Sister, do you want to learn from a big family and dig a pool just to see the scenery?" ”

I have to say that under Yang Shuyong's random guessing, he actually missed, but it was not far away. Although Qiu Chen's original intention of digging the pond was not to see the scenery, he has to admit that watching the scenery is also an important factor.

Grinning, Qiu Chenxiao was a little weak-hearted, but he couldn't admit it in his mouth, "Big brother, how can you spend so much money to buy land and dig a pond, just to see the scenery!" "Piggybacking doesn't count!

When the time comes, the lotus root will grow, and the pool will be full of blue lotus and pink lotus, and the fragrance will be far away, and she can see it when she goes out...... It's beautiful, tranquil, and refreshing! If you don't look at it, you won't see it, and if you don't look at it, you'll lose a lot!

Qiu Chen saw that everyone was looking forward to it, but he deliberately pursed his lips and chuckled. added tea to Yang Shuyong's cup, and poured tea for Zhou's family, and Yang Shuyong couldn't wait anymore.

"Sister, what are you going to do, say it and let my brother hear it...... Oh, don't hang your brother! ”

The husband was so anxious that he looked like a hairy boy, which made Zhou laugh. Lin Xu and Qiu Chen couldn't help but chuckle, Ah Fu and Aman didn't quite understand what the adults said, but it didn't prevent the adults from being in a good mood, and they also smirked hehehehe.

Qiu Chen smiled, but did not speak, but turned around and went to a large frame in the corner of the house, peeled off the thick and moist wheat straw covering the top, and carefully took out a thing covered in mud.

"Brother, I'm digging a pond to plant this!"

"This is ......" From Qiu Chen's careful movements, Yang Shuyong also knew that this was a rare thing, although he couldn't help but take the lotus root from Qiu Chen's hand, but he also deliberately lightened his strength, and he was always a bold and rough man, but even his expression became cautious.

Yang Shuyong took the lotus root, turned it over and over and looked up and down for a long time, and the two children of Zhou's and Lin Xujia also came up to see the freshness, but helplessly, no one in the family recognized what it was, and couldn't help but turn their eyes to Qiu Chen.

Qiu Chen smiled and took the lotus root from Yang Shuyong's hand, carefully brushed away a small piece of mud, and immediately revealed the fine white lotus root.

"This thing is called lotus vegetable, also called lotus root, growing in the shallow pond mud, sweet and cool, nourishing the spleen and stomach, nourishing the spirit, and benefiting qi. It can also clear away heat and generate Jin, cool blood and stop bleeding, and disperse blood congestion. After cooking, it becomes warm, which can tonify the spleen and stomach, stop diarrhea, benefit blood, and build muscle. Hehe, to put it bluntly, this thing can not only be used for cooking but also into medicine, even if it is steamed, it will be sweet and sweet, delicious and hungry, much better than taro and yam. In winter, I have a dry cough and a dry throat, and it works to squeeze juice with this......"

Speaking of lotus roots, Qiu Chen was quite a little gushing, and the five people, big and small, gradually showed a look of surprise and yearning.

Taking advantage of Qiu Chen's stopping to drink water, Zhou Shi hesitated and asked, "Begonia, this long mud is really so good?" ”

Qiu Chen said that his mouth was dry, he drank a glass of water, nodded and said, "It's indeed a good thing." There is also an advantage, it does not occupy fertile land, only need to be planted in the river pond, and the yield is high, one acre of land can produce one or two thousand catties! ”

This time, not only Zhou's, but even Yang Shuyong and Lin Xu were surprised to change color!

Now the farmers have worked hard for more than half a year, looking forward to God opening his eyes, the wind and rain are smooth, and the yield of one mu of wheat is only 300 catties. The yield of millet and sorghum is low, only more than 200 catties! How can they not be shocked that this kind of thing in the growing mud can yield thousands of catties per mu?!

Or, a surprise, arguably? Ecstasy!

Qiu Chen stopped talking, looked at everyone with a slight smile, waited for everyone to digest what she said, and then said: "Planting lotus root is actually the same as farming, the older the pond, the thicker and fatter the pond mud, the better the growth, and the higher the yield. Now, let's dig a pond and plant it, it is estimated that the yield will not be so high, but this year I just plan to try to plant a season, if the lotus root can really be planted here, next year the pond mud is thick, and the yield will naturally be high. Moreover, you can also get more lotus roots, and you can expand the planting area next year. ”

Yang Shuyong was calm and receptive, he was the first to come to his senses, nodded in a deep voice, and then raised his eyes, his originally slightly drunk eyes became bright and bright, and his eyes were full of excitement and joy.

"You're right, if you plant it, our Yang family shop will have several large ponds, adding up to more than ten acres. There is also Nanmarsh Lake in the south, where the water is large, dozens or hundreds of acres of water surface! ”

Qiu Chen didn't know much about the situation of the Yang family's shop, so he didn't expect these at all, and when he heard Yang Shuyong say this, he also felt a sense of joy. If the lotus root planting is successful this year, she can buy that piece of Nanmar Lake with the Yang family, plant lotus roots, and then raise fish, as long as it is managed well, the income in a year is definitely much better than farming!

Seeing that the two brothers and sisters said that they had surrendered to the deed, although Zhou felt a little untrue, he still felt happy and looked at it with a smile.

Lin Xu was silent for a long time, his eyes saw the tiny hole in the top section of the lotus root, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Sister-in-law, is this the one we ate that day?" ”

Qiu Chen nodded: "Yes, that day, we used lotus root to stew big bones, and we can also fry silk slips, cold dressing, fried lotus root, and make stuffed steamed buns and dumplings...... There are so many ways to eat! ”

Ah Man and Ah Fu listened to Qiu Chen say a large string of delicious food, and their two little mouths couldn't help but smash it, swallowing several mouthfuls of saliva in a row. Ah Man didn't know how to hide his greed, crawled into Qiu Chen's arms with his hands and feet, grabbed Qiu Chen's shoulders and muttered: "Mother, full of food!" ”

Qiu Chen kissed Ah Man's face and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, after we plant it, I'll make it for you one by one, so that Man'er and my brother can eat enough!" ”

When the two children heard this, they both smiled happily and squinted, and Ah Fu also rubbed over and snuggled up to Qiu Chen. Looking at the warm and joyful appearance of the mother and son, Yang Shuyong and Zhou glanced at each other, conveying a reassuring joy. Lin Xu has a deep understanding, and his sister-in-law described the prospect as too beautiful, but he didn't have the slightest doubt. Now not only does he have no worries about food and clothing, but he also has to pull the courtyard wall to build a house, and he can't even think about it for a month.

The topic of lotus root came to an end for the time being, and the family naturally discussed the project for the day after tomorrow. After talking for a while, Afu Aman couldn't hold it at first, and dozed off in Qiu Chen's arms, and the family dispersed and went to sleep peacefully.

On the second day, after breakfast, Lin Xu and Qiu Chen discussed and prepared to take a few days off and help at home. Without waiting for Qiu Chen to speak, Yang Shuyong directly denied it: "Brother Xu, don't worry about the family, what you need to do now is to read the book well." When you read it, it's time to give your sister-in-law a long face in the future! ”

Qiu Chen also smiled and said: "Second brother, go to school with peace of mind, the eldest brother and Uncle Manchu are in charge of pulling the courtyard wall and building the house, and the family affairs are arranged by the sister-in-law and Sister Lan Ying, I can't interfere, and you can't help much if you stay at home...... Well, when the gatehouse is up, the second brother will ask for another day off to greet the guests! ”

The sister-in-law really thought about him, and although Lin Xu felt a little reluctant in his heart, he still nodded and agreed, and took books, paper and pens to go to school. I only secretly added strength to myself in my heart, I must study hard, like the sister-in-law of the Yang family said, only by reading it can I support my sister-in-law's long face.

Qiu Chen took a pig's ear and a pig's trotter and asked Lin Xu to bring it to Mr. Xu. and instructed Lin Xu: "You remember, on the day you went to the gatehouse, I invited Mr. Xu to come over and drink a glass of water and wine." ”

Every time the Lin family cooks something good, Qiu Chen will never forget Mr. Xu, and will ask Lin Xu to send a copy to Mr. Xu, which can be regarded as a reward for Mr. Xu's careful teaching. Similarly, Qiu Chen's doing this does not rule out his skill, and having a good relationship with Mr. Xu is also good for Lin Xu's studies.

Yang Shuyong and Er Kui drove to the brick kiln again, and Man Ho went to the village to find a purlin to build a wing house. The third grandmother let go of the red pine roof beams that she had stored to build a house, and let the Lin family use it first. Qiu Chen was moved and told Lin Xu and the two children to keep these things in mind.

At noon, Yang Shuyong and Er Kui came back with two carts of bricks and came back with them, as well as two carriages. It was the brick kiln old Cheng Tou who hired a horse-drawn carriage.

In the afternoon, the two carriages returned to the brick kiln to pull bricks, and Yang Shuyong and Erkui went to the Wangjiamiaozi Stone Yard to pull the bluestone.

Qiu Chen and Zhou's steamed buns a day, prepared all kinds of objects and ingredients to be used tomorrow, and cooked for more than a dozen strong men...... It was also a busy day, and when he sent everyone out in the evening, Qiu Chen was so tired that his back and legs hurt, and he couldn't wait to sit down and rest on the spot.

But when she entered the house, she hurriedly began to cook black beans and wheat bran concentrate, ready to add ingredients to the horses at night. The two horses have made great efforts to transport bricks and stones in the past two days, and they have to add some concentrate at night. Originally, Yang Shuyong wanted to do these jobs by himself, how could Qiu Chen watch the nearly forty big brothers work overtime all night after being tired, Zhou's years of hard work, and he also faintly did a labor disease, and he would moan quietly when he slept and turned over at night, Qiu Chen was also not reluctant, so he semi-forcibly pushed Yang Shuyong Zhou to rest, and she took over the night feeding work.

After two days of busy and tiring preparations, this day finally came to the start of work.

Early in the morning, Manchu's father had breakfast and led a few old masters and more than 20 young people over, and Liu Manyin also arrived with his three sons and more than 20 young people in the west.

The father of the hoard and a few old people burned paper incense in some specific directions, worshiped the god of the house, and then called on more than 40 strong laborers to break ground and start work!

The village laborers have basically done the work of pulling the courtyard wall and building the house, and they do not need to manage and coordinate too much in the old way, and the individual can cooperate very tacitly.

Dad Manchu didn't do anything, but walked slowly along the project with his hands behind his back, occasionally shouting happily: "Everyone, work hard, the main stew is enough to eat!" ”

Everyone immediately cheered, and their movements couldn't help but increase a few points.

A young man saw his father, and asked with a smile: "Seventh master, the master eats meat, does he drink wine?" ”

Liu Dachuan, the seventh of his peers, is also called the seventh uncle, the seventh grandfather, and the seventh grandfather by the villagers. The seventh master is the seventh grandfather, and it can be seen from this title that the young man is young enough. Of course, it is precisely because of the young age that sometimes he speaks arbitrarily, and his eyes are full of grandpa and old grandfather, and he can still care about his juniors.

The old face of the full hoard father was flat, and he glared and roared: "Stinky boy, you haven't married a daughter-in-law yet, it's not good to love a cup, this reputation has spread, you kid still want to marry a daughter-in-law!" ”

The young man was not surprised by the yelling, but still laughed. But the young man next to him took the opportunity to shout and responded: "Da Zhuang, that kid is not afraid, who doesn't know, Xitou Yufeng is good with him, even put on his shoes, just wait for Da Zhuang's family to invite a matchmaker to come to the door!" ”

There was also a narrow one next to him, squeezing his eyebrows and pouting Da Zhuang's explanation: "Da Zhuang, tell me, have you succeeded?" Touched your hands, right? ”

The other pouted disdainfully: "What's the matter of touching your hands, everyone has hugged it......

This kind of topic can always arouse the interest of young people, you and I are laughing and laughing, no one pays attention, and the father is slowly pacing away with his hands behind his back. No one noticed that the old man squinted his eyes slightly, and his eyes were slightly confused and nostalgic.

Accustomed to seeing modern mechanized construction sites, and seeing all-manual projects for the first time, Qiu Chen inevitably paid more attention to his busy schedule. At a glance, Qiu Chen couldn't help but sigh: The wisdom of the working people should not be underestimated!

A few of the old ones had two plasterers who built their houses, and a few of them were carpenters. At this time, half of the building of the house is carpentry work, making roof frames, roof beams, purlins, rafters, doors and windows, etc., all have to be fought in a hurry. Several master carpenters brought their own tools, saws, planers, axes, chisels, and ...... There were a lot of them, and two special benches were placed in the open space behind the house, and the saws and planers started work at one end.

Forty laborers, with all kinds of tools, but not messy. The group was automatically divided into groups of three or four, and each group was automatically divided, one of them took a pickaxe to dig the solid soil, and the others followed closely behind with shovels and excavated along the base of the laid ground. Everyone cooperates tacitly, works together, and the work is natural and good, and a large section can be dug out in a short time. Qiu Chen secretly estimated that at this rate, it would only take one day to dig all the foundations!

This made Qiu Chen, who was accustomed to mechanized operations, have to re-examine his manual labor ability!

It is a big deal for anyone in the village to build a house and build a wall, in addition, since Qiu Chen opened the door to buy Luo Buma, there are also many people who have borrowed money to make money, and some people did not believe that Luo Buma sold money before, but now Qiu Chen has paid a lot of money, and his eyes are red, and he has also joined the ranks of picking Luo Buma. Since they have to rely on the Lin family to make money, naturally the Lin family has something to do, so they are particularly enthusiastic, because in addition to Qingshan's daughter-in-law and Qinghe's sister-in-law, there are many daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law in the village, and even many big girls who don't usually go out also come to help, and most of them bring gifts with them, although it is just a bunch of dried mushrooms, or two catties of white noodles, or a pinch of dried vegetables, which can't help much, Qiu Chen didn't show the slightest contempt, he took it happily, and solemnly wrote it down on the paper, and beckoned everyone to come into the house, and prepared snacks and tea.

After a while, the Lin family squeezed a room full of daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law, chattering, eating rare snacks, drinking fragrant tea, and rambling into idle stories. In this way, Qiu Chen paid attention to it, and it was only a family that came to pick Luo Buma, and the others still went up the mountain to pick Luo Buma.

Of course, there are also some people who praise Qiu Chen's family without saying anything on the surface, but their hearts are sour. There are no men and women, although they are not necessarily despised by everyone, but they must be pitied by everyone to be normal, but the lady of the Lin family used to be a man who didn't like to talk when he was alive, and he didn't like to show his face, only doing embroidery work at home, doing housework, not showing the mountains and water, but he didn't expect a man to die, it seemed to be a different person, not only did he not live a bad life, but he learned to collect medicine and medicine, and hired people to earn money from home every day, and now he is thriving to pull the courtyard wall and build the house...... You must know that in addition to the landlord Liu and the third grandmother's house in the whole village, the other families are fence barriers, even if the son is the shopkeeper and the third grandmother's house, it is just a mud courtyard wall, why is the widow of the Lin family unemployed, so they pulled up a strong and magnificent blue brick courtyard wall?

Among these people, there is another one called the harvester, who is very sour.

At the beginning, someone in the village told her about Lin Sheng, but she thought that Lin Sheng was an outsider, and the lonely family didn't even have a person to rely on, so she gave up Lin Sheng and chose the Liu family's harvest. When she heard Lin Sheng's death letter a few days ago, she was glad that she had a unique vision and did not choose the wrong person. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, the Lin family actually flourished. At this time, she didn't want the Lin family to lose the head of the household, but she thought that the reason why the Lin family was so prosperous must be that Lin Sheng or Lin Sheng's father had left something valuable, and from time to time she thought that if she followed Lin Sheng, the valuable things would be in her hands. But he didn't want to think at all, Lin Sheng died a woman with three children, and lived with all kinds of grievances and hardships.

There is a jar of sour vinegar in her heart, and the harvest daughter-in-law is not so scheming, so she naturally brings it out in her expression language.

Swallowing a piece of snack, the harvest daughter-in-law drank another cup of tea, stretched out the cup and motioned to Qiu Chen to refill the water for her, while pouting her teeth and saying, "I said Shengzi daughter-in-law, you are not Lao Shengkui with this snack, right?" Oh, it's still scum, Lao Shengkui's dim sum is crispy, and it melts when you put it in your mouth, that's really delicious! ”

"Let's break up. You know, the love of my heart has always been her. ”

She waited for three years without regrets, but she was still no match for her boyfriend's first love, and she was ruthlessly abandoned by him.

And the unexpected appearance of him made her hurt and indulged in a crazy thought,

That night, she pulled his tie and kissed him frantically to forget the pain.
