The atmosphere at the dinner table was a little depressing, everyone didn't speak, and after a while, Xia Wanru took the lead in picking up the flower carvings on the table for everyone to fill, which was left from the last Mid-Autumn Festival. "Come on, let's raise a glass together, since Su Xiang is leaving, everyone will have another meal happily, don't be sad one by one." Su Xiang heard this, and immediately accosted, "That's it, maybe I'll come back one day, and I won't be able to leave when the time comes." Although Aunt Xin is reluctant, she also knows that it is irretrievable, "Everyone eats vegetables, the dishes made by the eldest sister are delicious, you eat more, otherwise you don't know when to eat next time." ”

Xin Ran saw that the atmosphere at the dinner table was harmonious, and asked casually, "Aunt Xiang, where are you going?" Su Xiang has nothing to hide, "I'll go to Bishui City to find someone first, if I find it by the way, it will be fine." If you don't find it, you'll have to look elsewhere. Don't worry, I'll come back to see you wherever I go. Xin Ran didn't say anything after hearing this, left the table, went to the pillow and took out ten taels of silver, and gave it to Su Xiang, "Aunt Xiang, don't shirk, this is a little bit of heart for me and my mother." It's not a lot of money, and I don't know if it's enough. Now our family is building a house, and we don't have much money, otherwise we can get a little more. "During this time, I can't get in and out, and the family's money is almost spent, and I will have to pay the slate money in a few days, and there is not much left, and I can only take out ten taels at most.

Su Xiang couldn't help crying, how could she not know that it took a lot to build a house during this time, and it was a lot to be able to take out ten taels, Xia Wanru also took out the package she brought and handed it to her, "These are the two pairs of shoes I made, I was going to give them to you in a few days, but I didn't expect you to leave so soon." Stay safe on the road. ”

Aunt Xin held Su Xiang's hand tightly and whispered, "Eldest sister can come back whenever she wants, we have always been here." Write to us sometime. ”

No matter how much you say about separation, there is still a time to leave, although you don't get along for a long time, you treat each other sincerely, and it is easy to have feelings.

Before dawn the next day, Xin Ran's family got up early in the morning, and Su Xiang had already packed up everything that should be collected last night, a few newly made clothes, and two pairs of shoes sent by Xia Wanru, ten taels given by Xin Ran, five taels were put in the baggage, and five taels were brought with him. Bring everything you need to bring.

After breakfast, Su Xiang left under Aunt Xin's reluctant gaze.

After Su Xiang left in the morning, Xin Ran didn't want her mother to be immersed in parting and couldn't get out, so she went to Aunt Zhao's house to play. Aunt Xin thought that someone could talk, so she agreed. When she arrived at Xia Wanru's house, she was feeding the chickens, opened the door to let them in, washed her hands and entered the hall together.

"Shi Lan, it's your first time here, you didn't go out before. Xiao Ran has been here several times, but you haven't come once. "Aunt Xin is here for the first time, and since that incident, she doesn't like to go out, except for occasionally accompanying her daughter to the street, she doesn't leave the house. Xia Wan looked at her sullen appearance and comforted, "There is no feast in the world, she has something to do, if she has time, she will definitely come back to see us." Don't worry. If you have time, you might as well think about what else you need to buy in your new home. Xin Ran gaged on the side, chatted for a while, and Aunt Xin's love gradually improved.

At the end of September, the general appearance of the house came out, but the beams had not yet been erected, the wood used as the beams was prepared by Li Gui and them, and the roof tiles were also recommended by Li Gui. Xin Ran went to the brickyard to take a look, and the quality was good, so it was settled in that one.

"Uncle, how many days will it take for the house to be built?" "Hehe, Xiao Ran can't wait? Soon, you can go up the girder tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow will be roughly built. Xin Ran was very happy to hear this, "That's good, I'm really excited." ”

The next day, Aunt Xin and Xin Ran went to the town together, they had already found someone to determine the date of moving, and chose a recent date, October 10th, and went to the street today to inform Liu Dagui to go to Xin Ran's new house to determine how many stones to use.

The two didn't go shopping, they went directly to Yipinxuan, informed the shopkeeper Sun of the time of the treat, and then directly rented a car to go to Liu Dagui's stone field. knocked on the door of the stone field, and it was Zheng Qi who opened the door, "Xiao Ran, Aunt Xin, why are you here?" Zheng Qi asked with a smile, "I'm here to find Uncle Liu, the house at home is almost built, and you can drink when the time comes." ”

After seeing Liu Dagui and saying a few pleasantries, he asked Zheng Qi to come to the carriage, Xin Ran and Aunt Xin sat inside, and they sat on the wheel and set off.

When I arrived at Xin Ran's house, I didn't go into the house to drink tea, and went directly to the new house. Aunt Xin didn't follow, and went to the thatched hut to make some tea and send it over. Xin Ran first told them where they needed to use slates. First of all, the front yard, to use more, in addition to the flower platform to be built, all to use the slate, the backyard to pave a cross-shaped road out of the line, there is a bathroom, on the area of ten square meters, to be paved, there is a kitchen, wash vegetables or something, easy to accumulate water, when walking, step on the soil is not clean. Finally, the toilets are all covered. After saying this, Liu Dagui and Zheng Qi began to measure the number separately, and Xin Ran followed around when he was idle, it was so good, his home was about to be completed.

Xin Ran looked at them for a while, and when he turned around, he couldn't find Liu Dagui and them, and after looking around, he found them in the toilet that had not yet been built. "Eh, Uncle Liu, Brother Zheng, what are you doing?" Xin Ran was very curious, and she didn't know what to look at. Liu Dagui and the others are studying this toilet, "Xiao Ran, how did this place be built like this?" ”

Xin Ran looked at the two big men, looking like he was begging for an explanation, he wanted to laugh but tried to hold back. She didn't feel embarrassed to say this, eating and drinking Lazar was a human being. When the slate is laid, the toilet will be ready to use. The toilet is nothing special, slightly improved. After going to the toilet, go out of the door, there are two large tanks at the door, which are specially made by Xin Dye for workers, the farther tank is larger and contains clean water, and there is a water scoop in it for people to wash their hands, the used water is poured into the tank by the door, and it is kept for flushing the toilet, and the water is introduced with a bamboo tube, which is convenient and clean. And behind the squatting toilet is a wall, which isolates the manure pit, and the smell is better.

After listening to this, Liu Dagui kept clapping his hands, "Miao Miao, haha, Xiao Ran, how did you think of it?" "It's really a useful invention. If anyone had known about it, they would have wanted to build this. Thinking of this, Liu Dagui was overjoyed, "Xiao Ran, can I pass on this method?" "Xin Ran didn't think about it that much, no problem.
