Not long after Qin Shu had breakfast, the Wang family personally brought someone to the door. After introducing them to each other, they left in a hurry, after all, she still has a lot of work to do at home, and it would be good to be able to help pull a line.

There were only two people on the other side, a middle-aged man in his forties, and a young man in his twenties.

They are also surnamed Qin, and the middle-aged man has a single name, and everyone calls him Uncle Yang, who looks honest and honest, but there is a bit of shrewdness in his small eyes.

"I wonder what kind of house the girl wants to build?" The middle-aged man looked at Qin Shu's courtyard, his eyes paused on the three dilapidated thatched houses, and asked.

Qin Shu moved a few stools out of the stone house where he lived temporarily, invited them to sit down, handed them two bowls of water, and sat down himself, and then said: "Master Qin, since I sincerely invite you to come, of course I won't just build a few thatched houses, otherwise, wouldn't it be overkill, and I wouldn't be cost-effective?" ”

When Qin Yang heard this, his face couldn't help but show a little joy, and asked, "What does that girl ......mean?"

"Naturally, we are going to build a blue brick house." Qin Shu said, "Not only the main house, but I also want to build three tiled houses in the east, make the courtyard wall bigger, build a livestock shed, pave bluestone slabs on the ground, and repair the gate, I just don't know if you can take this job?" ”

When Qin Yang heard this, he became more and more happy, originally he thought that the other party would build three tiled houses at most, but he didn't expect it to be such a big business.

He has more than a dozen people under his hands, although he goes everywhere to collect work, but he is also idle a lot, and he can't touch a big business for a few months, even if there is a big business, the main family is not happy to give money, and he always uses various reasons to deduct, and he can't make any money from small business, and there are even fewer of them on everyone, and everyone has a very tight life! There was no way, so he had to break up the crowd and let them take over the work in private, and only when there was a big deal, would they get together.

"I can take it, I can take it." Qin Yang patted his chest again and again and said, "Don't worry, girl, it's not me who brags, our craftsmanship, not to mention ten miles and eight townships, even the entire county, we can't find anything faster and better than our craftsmanship." If the girl is willing to trust us and leave the work to us, we will do our best and will never let her down. ”

Qin Shu said: "Okay! Since I have found you, I naturally believe in your abilities, but I still have a few requirements for the house. ”

"Yes, girl, you say, what we can do, we will do it." Qin Yang restrained his joy and said seriously.

Qin Shu nodded and said her request.

For example, the walls should be thicker, a special bathroom should be built, a brick kang should be built by the way, and there should be an exhaust flue and a place for sewage discharge.

Although the winter here is not too cold, it is a little damp and cold, Qin Shu thinks it is better to build a brick kang, even if you are not used to the brick kang, you can also sleep in the bed and be prepared.

Because fire kang is not prevalent here, Qin Shu was still a little worried that they wouldn't do it, but he didn't expect that Qin Yang and they would do it, and they had taken over such a job before, so they were really happy.

Then the two talked about some details, such as the layout of the yard, the materials used in the house, the salary, etc., and it took almost an hour to negotiate.

In the end, Qin Shu paid them ten taels of silver, because Qin Shu also handed over some bricks and timber to them, and the more was refunded and the less was compensated, and the wages were calculated separately, which showed great trust in them.

Qin Shu is not very convenient here, and he doesn't care about food, but the salary is very rich, which is enough to dispel their dissatisfaction with not caring about food, anyway, this place is close to their home, and it is also convenient for them to go home for dinner.

After the negotiation was completed, Qin Yang and the others happily went back to prepare.

Qin Shu was not idle, cleaned up, and went to the village to visit the door, which she had planned last night. They were all families who had a good relationship with Qin's father before his death. Now that I'm back, I should pay a visit.

Before going out, Qin Shu changed into a set of dresses that she had made in the past two days-

Akane red cotton cloth collared short jacket, plain long cloth skirt, the single clothes and knee pants inside, are made of high-quality white cotton, very comfortable to wear, only the shoes are still the previous round toe linen shoes, she has not had time to make shoes for herself.

When visiting people's homes, of course, you can't go empty-handed, cutting a few feet of cloth and taking some dried fruits or snacks is enough.

Of course, she wouldn't take the things she had in her own space, they were all bought when she was in town.

In the past, there were only two families who were good friends with Qin's father, one was Qin Daniu's family and the other was Qin Gang's family, both of whom used to be Qin's father's hair. After Father Qin came back as a soldier, they all helped Father Qin a lot, and after the Qin family got better, Father Qin also helped them less, coming and going, and getting closer. It's a pity that since Qin's father died and Qin Sulian went to the town, the two families have not had much contact.

Every time Qin Sulian came back to visit her parents' graves, she came and went in a hurry, let alone visiting them, and after more than ten years, her memory of the two families faded.

Qin Shu also felt that it was not good for the Wang family to trouble everything, and after thinking about it carefully, he remembered these two families, and learned from his memory that these two families had good character, so he decided to rebuild the old relationship with the two families.

After all, in the village, she can't have no one to talk to, how can she have one or two good friends, and she doesn't want to be isolated from the world.

Xiao Qinzhuang has not changed much, these two families are in the west of the village, and they are relatively close to her house, relying on the little impression in her mind, Qin Shushun found their home.

Qin Shu went to Qin Da Niu's house first, however, Qin Da Niu was not at home, it was his wife Ma Shi who received her, and Qin Shu called her Aunt Da Niu. The two couples, a cow and a horse, are interesting.

In the memory of the original owner, Aunt Da Niu was a very cool and capable person, and she was kind to her when she was a child, and the original owner was closer to her. Qin Shu originally thought that it would be very smooth, but she didn't expect it, but she touched her with a nose of ash.

After Aunt Niu saw her, she looked like a yin and yang weird, her eyes were not eyes, her nose was not a nose, and she was not invited to sit in, and her whole body exuded dissatisfaction and unwelcome for her.

It wasn't until she saw the cloth and snacks in the basket on Qin Shu's arm that she barely smiled and asked when she would come back.

Qin Shu replied politely, and seeing that she had been staring at her basket, she gave her a gift.

Aunt Da Niu couldn't wait to take the basket, and while smiling and telling her not to spend money indiscriminately, she led the topic to her grandfather. It's just that tone, how can it have a sense of blame and preaching.

She said that it was not easy for the grandfather's family, let Qin Shu visit him more in the future, in the end, it is a relative, or have a lot of contacts, the unpleasant things in the past, just let it pass, after all, she is an elder, she must know how to be filial, if she holds a grudge against the grandfather because of some trivial things, no matter if she doesn't ask, it will be too unfilial, and it will make people look down on her.

As soon as Qin Shu heard this, the smile on her face suddenly faded. Some understand why she has such an attitude towards herself, it turns out that it is all because of her grandfather's family. It was only at this time that Qin Shu faintly remembered that Aunt Da Niu and Aunt Santang Ma seemed to be from the same village, and the relationship between the two was still very good. At the beginning, Qin's father had no children, and he planned to succeed the son of the third aunt's family as an heir, and it was also Aunt Niu who threaded the needle in it.

Thinking of this, Qin Shu sneered.

If she had figured this out, she wouldn't have stepped through her door.

Seeing that Aunt Da Niu was still talking there, spitting and spitting, counting herself down with a tone that was good for herself, Qin Shu rolled her eyes indecently, too lazy to listen to her nonsense, snatched the basket from her hand, turned around and left, and owed a word.

She felt that she was such a fool that she took the initiative to come to the door to find abuse!

It seems that the memory of the original owner may not be completely reliable, and some things still need to be confirmed with her own eyes, and she can't be misled by the memory of the original owner.

Aunt Da Niu watched Qin Shu's thin back go farther and farther, as if she had been slapped hard, her whole old face was hot, and she wanted to scold her, but she remembered that when the two families were on good terms, Qin's father and Qin's mother helped them, and when it came to her mouth, she couldn't scold it, and she suddenly felt so bored, she was stunned for a while, and could only go back to the house in a sneer.

Qin Shu left Qin Daniu's house, and she was not in the mood to continue visiting, so she wanted to go home, but after thinking about it, she didn't need to overturn a boatload of people because of one person, and she didn't need to affect her mood for an inconsequential outsider.

Thinking of this, Qin Shu turned around and went to Qin Gang's house again.

The door of their house was not closed, Qin Shu patted the door, attracted their attention, and walked in, stood at the door, and shouted like when he was a child: "Is Uncle Gangzi at home?" ”

It just so happened that Qin Gang and his wife were both at home.

Qin Gang broke his leg some time ago, and he was still recuperating at home, when Qin Shu came, Qin Gang was weaving straw mats in the yard, his wife Liu was sitting at the door of the house doing needlework, looking up at the grandchildren playing from time to time, there were more than a dozen chickens scattered in the yard, looking for food in the yard, and there were still a few pigs in the pigsty, humming and chirping, and the smell in the yard was not very good.

Hearing the shout, both of them looked up, and when they saw Qin Shu, they couldn't help but be stunned.
