After the meal, Ye Qiu continued to work with the mud, although he had done all the big and small affairs in the house, but this was the first time to build a house, and it was not heavy work on weekdays, so it was a little difficult after a while.

"When you're tired, take a break, don't worry, just cover it tomorrow. This will move the hall into the kitchen and you will be able to sleep in the same place. Although Chu Ying said that they could sleep together, it was still strange and awkward to have an extra stranger.

"Okay, Second Miss, don't be tired, you're not in good health." Although the second miss has grown up more than a year ago, her face has not changed much from before, but the whole person feels different.

And the monthly medicine money is spent a lot, and the food is also exquisite pastries, I have never eaten such chestnut paste, let alone such a big event as building a house, Ye Qiu didn't dare to think that the second lady could build this house, and she also brought some money, if the house could not be built, she could also spend money to ask a mason to help.

Although Ye Qiu didn't believe it very much, he looked at the second lady's appearance, and fell down from it with a thread tied to the stone to see if the wall was crooked. In the past, it took half a year for the second lady to make an embroidery, but now she can do everything when she lives alone.

"Second Miss, you have really grown up a lot, but it was uncomfortable to walk a few steps before." The wall was getting higher and higher, Chu Ying stood on the built shelf, and took the adobe bricks thrown by Ye Qiu, although a few pieces were not caught, but after throwing them for a long time, the two had a tacit understanding.

"Really? Don't call me Second Miss in the future, I'm not a Miss anymore, just call me Chu Ying. The second lady of this voice sounded particularly sarcastic, although Chu Ying came through and was like this, but when she knew that she could have lived a good life, the resentment in her heart was still difficult to control.

"Okay, Chu Ying. In fact, there is no need for this, the eldest lady said that she would let you go back when she went back, although the old lady still minds very much, but she can pick you up in a few days. Chu Ying doesn't believe in such nonsense, she has been living for almost a year and has not moved, and she still relies on herself to do everything.

"Well, hopefully." Chu Ying boiled two eggs in water and gave one to Ye Qiu, after all, he was doing a lot of work, and it was indeed a little hungry to eat only chestnut flour.

"Chu Ying, what are these?" Ye Qiu pointed to the pine resin and lacquer in the wooden barrel.

"Pine resin, the candles used are made of this, these are lacquer, and when the kitchen is built, the wood inside should be painted with this, which can prevent moisture and fire, and the inner room should also be painted." I only painted the floor with raw lacquer before, and it didn't burn as quickly as I painted all the houses outside the house.

"Okay." Ye Qiu watched Chu Ying eat well, so he took a small pot made of a small copper lid and dug out the pine resin in the heat, and then poured it into the bamboo knots with cotton threads.

"That's it, and then just let it harden, this one can earn about 10 Wen, these are left by cutting down trees, can you do some well, anyway, you can't see it at night, so let's do this first." Ye Qiu took the small copper pot and began to pour the pine resin into the bamboo knots like Chu Ying did just now.

This second lady is indeed different from what she knew before, she used to be weak and useless, but now she can do everything, maybe she has worked out by living alone.

"I'm going to get you a bed." Although Chu Ying doesn't like people to sleep with her, there is still a way to be hospitable.

"No need, I'll come by myself, how can I bother you, I'll just sleep outside, so I won't disturb you." Ye Qiu put the copper pot in the living room first, tidied it up, and came back.

Chu Ying took a look and saw that the low table was placed in the corner, and the living room had already laid out thin sheets against the wall, and some clothes were placed on it. I took a winter coat and put it on her bed, and now it's still a little cold at night, and I can't freeze her, or how to work tomorrow.

When it was a little late, Chu Ying boiled some water and asked Ye Qiu to wash first, "Second Miss, you first, how can there be a reason for a servant to wash first, I'll wait for you to wash." ”

Ye Qiu found some hot water in the wooden basin, tested the water temperature, and then handed the wet and wrung face towel to Chu Ying. Chu Ying was a little uncomfortable all of a sudden, although it felt great to be served by someone, but she felt a little awkward.

"I'll do it myself." After washing up, Chu Ying told Ye Qiu to remember to close the door and go to bed first, it was really difficult to adapt to the extra people on this day, but she was too tired during the day, and Chu Ying fell asleep after a while.

When I woke up, the living room was only a low table and a folded mattress and baggage in the corner. Pushing open the door and seeing that Ye Qiu was already feeding the chickens, the water in the vegetable field and wheat field had been watered, and even the rabbit nest had been added with new grass, if she hadn't woken up, Chu Ying would have thought that there was a snail girl at home.

"Chu Ying, you wake up, wash up first, the water should still be hot." Chu Ying rushed to take the wooden basin and face towel first, and smiled proudly at Ye Qiu.

After washing, Chu Ying took advantage of the sun and hurriedly built the wall first, so that when the sun came out at noon, she could go into the house to rest. With the helper, Chu Ying's house building process was much faster, and when it was all completed in the evening, Chu Ying dismantled the previous rocket furnace and built it here by the window.

"Chu Ying, the stove is not built like this." Ye Qiu looked at the chimney-like thing that Chu Ying had built. "It's so good, the firewood can be burned completely, and there is not so much smoke, and firewood needs enough oxygen to burn." Chu Ying felt halfway through what she said that she said it was in vain, and she might not understand.

"Oxygen?"

"It's air, huh...... Anyway, it will be more fire, less smoke. You'll find out when you're done. Chu Ying took some reeds from the firewood room and wound them together with threads, so that the kitchen didn't have to lay floors, just spread reed mats where you needed to sit, which was also in line with the seating culture here, and wouldn't make Ye Qiu feel that she had become too much.

Ye Qiu moved all the things in the living room, "You don't have to move them all, just keep some food or put it in the attic above." ”

Ye Qiu looked at the wooden board on it, he didn't find that there was a floor above it in the past few days, and when he climbed up, he found that it was full of chestnut powder, and it was really embarrassing for the little person of the second lady to eat these all day long.

Waiting for the reed mat in the kitchen to be ready, Chu Ying added another curtain to the original living room, so that she would not disturb Ye Qiu when she went in and out of the bedroom, and the two of them would have ** space. "Chu Ying, where did you learn it, it's really easy to use."

"Look at what other aunts do, just take a look at it." Because of the outsiders, Chu Ying learned to dress as a child, and her voice became sweet.

"It's good to build a wall here when the time comes, so let's do it for now, you'll have to go into the city tomorrow to buy some things, the last time it caught fire and burned a lot of things, and you'll have to buy some more things when you come."

"On fire?"

"Well, a few days before you came, that's why you built the kitchen." Chu Ying lifted her trouser leg and rubbed it with medicine, although it was much better, but it seemed that she was going to leave a scar when she looked like this, and she blamed herself for wanting to save some food.

"Are you hurt?"

"It's nothing, it's just a burn in the leg." Before Chu Ying finished speaking, Ye Qiu opened the curtain and walked in, looking at Chu Ying's raised calves, covering his mouth and looking at Chu Ying in disbelief.

"Second Miss, you, didn't you invite Lang Zhong when you were injured like this? Is this medicine any good? I'll have to buy some better medicine when I go to the city tomorrow. Looking at Ye Qiu's nervous appearance, Chu Ying also felt that the wound was a little painful, "It's okay, it's normal for the villagers to bump and bump." How can it be so delicate. ”
