The four of them walked for a while and arrived at their grandfather's house, and Old Man Lin didn't have any work these days, and when he arrived at his house, he was holding an idle book and reading it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info saw a few grandchildren coming, and quickly hid the book in the room. Calculated carefully, Lin Yujuan and they followed Mr. Lin to learn words for three years. The foundation of learning such as "Zengguang Xianwen" and "Kindergarten Qionglin" is followed by "Three Hundred Tang Poems". No matter how deep it is, it is not taught, firstly, it is difficult for Old Man Lin to teach, and secondly, a few children are not going to take the Xiucai exam, they just want not to be really blind, these are enough. However, grandma Jiang Shi pulled her two granddaughters and also talked about "Women's Ring", "Internal Training" and the like. Originally, Lin Yujuan was impatient to listen to this, but then she thought that she always had to understand the rules of the game for women in this world. So I listened to it hard, and after listening to it, I realized that if I did what the book said, I wouldn't be able to live. When I got home, I was afraid that my sister Xiujuan would take the words in the book seriously, and kept telling her: "It's better to believe in books than to have no books, just listen to them, and don't do some of them." Listen to the words of this book, and people will not live yet. Being a cow or a horse is not counted, and you have to suffer grievances. Fortunately, Jiang only told them a few times, but he didn't force them to do it.

"Grandpa, grandpa." Lin Yujuan shouted before she entered the house. Old Man Lin was also a little happy when he saw a few grandchildren coming. Speaking of which, this old man Lin really likes the children of his second family more than the other two. In the past few years, a few children have been running here, and their feelings are all coming out, and a few children have sent some wine or something from time to time. Old Man Lin was naturally happy to see them coming.

Lin Guilu told Mr. Lin about buying a house, and asked Mr. Lin to make furniture. Of course, the salary should not be reduced, and the elderly should be filial even if they don't help their own families.

"By the way, grandpa, we would like to ask you to make a relatively high counter. Here's what it looks like. Lin Yujuan said and propped her elbows onto the square table, her hands and arms in a figure 7 shape. You see, that's pretty much it. Below was a counter, almost a little lower than the table, and the top of the counter was made like this to block the outside. In this way, we have pickles in our hands, and people outside can't see them. Just make a few drawers here under the counter, and don't make a cabinet with an empty underneath. At that time, the larger vegetable jar can be placed directly on the ground. The counter and the small door should be as wide as the entire façade. The door is bolted from the inside so that people from the outside can't just break in. She gestured as she spoke, and both Old Man Lin and Lin Yukou knew what they were going to do. Lin Yukou also borrowed his grandfather's pen to draw pictures on paper, and the drawings were almost the same.

"Yes, that's what it looks like. Brother, you're really good. Lin Yujuan praised Lin Yukou all the time.

"Dad, I'll pick you up tomorrow and go with us to the town to buy lumber. I'll go to Shimoda and ask him to separate the store first. I had to ask him how many bricks he needed to cut out a wall, and I would go to the kiln and buy them, and then send them to the street by boat. Dad, Mom, I'll go first. Lin Guilu saw that the matter was decided, so he hurriedly said goodbye to his parents and went to Tian Da. Lin Yukou and Lin Yusuo must have followed to take a look.

"Grandma, I'm also leaving, when the house is cleaned up, you can go to my house to play for a few days." Lin Yujuan said goodbye to the Jiang family who was preparing dinner, and followed to the Tian family. Along the way, Lin Yukou and Lin Xiaodi were fighting, you chased after me, and Lin Yujuan was also hot. But she wasn't a child in the first place, and at her current age, a twelve-year-old girl wasn't quite suitable for such a frolick. Tian's family was separated by five or six alleys, and it was not very far to walk over, and it didn't take long to arrive.

Tian Da is a bricklayer, and he is the best among the bricklayers in the village. He is now in his forties, and in his teens he has been working as a plasterer after his master. Because of the good craftsmanship, the income is okay. Now the house is also built with three two-room brick houses. Two of the three sons are married, and the youngest son is only ten years old, so they are not separated. After the Lin family and his entourage entered the courtyard of Tian Lao's family, they saw his mother-in-law picking vegetables in the yard and watching several grandchildren. One of the two daughters-in-law was busy working in the kitchen, and the other was probably not at home if he didn't see anyone. Lin Guilu told his mother-in-law what he meant, only to hear his mother-in-law roar, "Tian Da, come out quickly, Lin Er came to you for something." ”

"Alas, here it is." Before he finished speaking, he saw a swarthy and sturdy middle-aged man walking from behind the house. "Lin Er, it's you. Come to me for something. ”

"Oh, Boss Tian, that's it. There's a house in my town that I'd like you to help with the wall. Do you have kung fu? You haven't built a house for anyone in the past two days, have you? "Lin Guilu is afraid that Tian Da is now building houses for other people's families, so it is not a coincidence.

"Oh, Lin Er. You can buy a house in the town without squeaking or breathing. Tian Da, I'm still thinking about when your family will build a new house and let me earn a few bucks. It seems that you can't make it, but you can really do it. I'm still free these days, and I've just finished a busy house. The date with the person in the back hasn't reached yet, and I took my three boys to build a wall in your house in less than a day. Did you buy bricks? Does hydrated lime have it?" Tian Dayi asked two questions in a row.

"Tian Da, I'm just here to ask you how many bricks you need to build a wall, and I don't have slaked lime. Can't you build it for the time being? ”

"Hehe, Lin Er, you go buy a thousand bricks first. The slaked lime is fine, the family I just built a few days ago, there is still some slaked lime left in the lime pond that has not been used up, I will take you to buy it from others. Masonry walls are sufficient. A worker is thirty wen, I'll tell you first. You get the bricks and come to me, and I'll take you to buy lime and start working. Tian Da spoke quickly, and he made it clear in a few clicks. Lin Guilu was busy saying goodbye again, and now he was going to buy bricks from the kiln. Lin Yukou didn't follow the three anymore, and the three of them went home together. Lin Yujuan was naturally helping in the kitchen, and the two Lin Yukou brothers were also sent by the Qi family to cut the grass and feed the pigs and sheep. When it was time to eat, Lin Guilu also came back from the kiln. When everyone asked him how things were, Lin Guilu said:

"I've already said that I'll just tell the boss when I go to install the bricks. Looks like we're going to be busy tomorrow, so let's take you and grandpa to town tomorrow morning. Yukou, you and your grandfather go to buy wood. Yujuan, you and your sister sell pickles in the town first, and you can eat them on the street for lunch. The food should be good, the old man loves meat, don't be reluctant to spend money. Grab some more wine and give it to your grandfather in the evening. I'll come back after delivering the pickles, and I'll carry the bricks over again, and I'll have to pack up my burden later. I'll have to pick up my own bricks tomorrow. ”

"What about me?" Qi Shi saw that her husband didn't arrange things for herself.

"You take care of the pigs and sheep at home, and wait for me at the kiln when the time is almost up." I'll pick the bricks to the boat and you help stack the bricks. "Lin Guilu alone, if he has to carry the burden and go down to the cabin to stack bricks, it will be much slower.

"What about me? What about me? "Little Brother Lin is not far behind.

"Follow your two sisters, you have to help your sisters work. No trick-or-treating. Okay, let's hurry up and have dinner, go to bed early at night, and wake up early tomorrow. Lin Guilu arranged for everyone to take the lead in eating dinner.

The next day, the family naturally listened to Lin Guilu's arrangement and performed their duties. By the time Lin Guilu piled up a thousand bricks in the store, it was already afternoon. locked the door of the store, took the Qi family and Lin Yujuan sisters, and Lin Xiaodi returned to the countryside. There is no place to sleep here, so naturally they still have to go back to the countryside, and the two sisters have already made lunch at noon with dinner. Old Man Lin and Lin Yukou's dinner naturally don't have to worry. After sending his wife and children home, Lin Guilu kept looking for Tian Da to buy slaked lime together. I was busy until it was dark in the evening, and I didn't get back home.

"Mom, it's not okay, it's a waste of time for us to keep rushing back and forth. Why don't we tear down our plank bed and press it into the wings of the town. My sister and I sell kimchi and sauerkraut every day, and we can also send them to the restaurant. I can also cook for my grandparents and brothers every day. Mom, you look at the vegetable field and the pigs and sheep at home. How's that? But Mom, what will we do with the pigs and sheep when we get to the town in the future? Lin Yujuan was also tired these days, so she told her mother her advice.

"Well, okay, I'll listen to you. Everyone go to bed early, and take the bed down tomorrow morning and take it to town. There is not enough sleep at home and on the boat, but the weather is too cold, so I can't go to your aunt's house and squeeze with the two Su Juan sisters. The landlord also needs to make a latrine on the hill, and there can also be a pigsty or sheepfold in that place. Now I can only raise one thing. ”

"Mom, leave the sheep behind, the pigs are raised by the uncle's family. We don't want money, just give a few dozen catties of pork when we go to his house to kill pigs for the New Year. Of course, Lin Yujuan wants to keep the sheep and drink the goat's milk. Although there is not goat's milk all year round, the two ewes left each time give birth to lambs. Lin Yujuan and Lin Yusuo can drink with them for more than half a year. Although Lin Yusuo is only ten years old now, he is half a head taller than the little boys of the same age in the village.

"Yujuan, will you settle the account? If you raise a pig in the town, you can go to the street restaurant and pour some swill back, and my family is familiar with so many restaurants, and it is not very easy to pour some swill. If you want to raise sheep, you have to herd sheep or mow grass every day. "Qi didn't expect that the little daughter, who has always been smart, would not be bright this time.

"yes, Mom, or else? We're all living in town. The mud house where the elder brother and brother lived in the countryside can also be cleaned up and raised pigs. Asked Dad to collect swill from the restaurant every day and send it back. After that, I settled down in the town, and it was not so hard to sell pickles, and I rowed early every day on the streets. Isn't there a place for us to send pickles or something? Plus the original pigsty should be fine with five or six pigs, right?
