Carambola smiled and said: "Now there is a lot of pigweed, and it won't take much time for ten baskets." ”

"That's right! At most, I will do it all at once, and I will pick it down with a pick. Chen Qiao said, "Now there is pigweed, and when it comes to winter, it will be gone, what should you do?" ”

"Then we can only feed sake lees and bran, but let's feed more sake lees, we can save a lot of bran, and still grow meat, but it doesn't grow as fast as it is now." Carambola explained that unconsciously, she was already familiar with Chen Qiao.

Chen Qiao didn't do anything, so he was responsible for raising pigs and called himself a "little swineherd".

At first, Carambola also took Du Jiumei up the mountain to hunt pigweed, and later Carambola and Chen Qiao went up the mountain to hunt pigweed. Following behind the carambola, Chen Qiao can always get enough pigweed in the shortest possible time.

Looking at the little piglets, growing up day by day, Chen Qiao was particularly proud. Soon after, he was no longer called "Little Swineherd", but "Big Swineherd".

Originally, Song Ming decided to build a house, the foundation was made of stones, and the walls were cut with mud bricks, but the Yang family refused. If you want to build a house, build it better. Courtyard walls can be made of mud bricks, but houses can't.

"Sister-in-law, all bricks are used, it costs a lot of money!" Song Ming was a little embarrassed on his face, fifteen houses, estimated to cost three hundred taels of silver.

The Yang family had money in his hand, and Du Dashan explained before leaving, and said sincerely: "To build a house, you must use it well, and you can't be ambiguous." As for the mud bricks, do you think you should buy them, or find someone to do them? ”

Song Ming thought about it and said, "Find someone to do it, after all, we still have to prepare you and straw, and our family doesn't have it." Gotta buy it. It's better to buy it directly from the villagers, stipulate the size, and we will give a penny for three mud bricks, less than two taels of silver, and you can almost build a courtyard wall, and you can also use mud bricks to build a kitchen and utility room. ”

"Okay, then let's do it, make the yard bigger. In the future, when there are more people in the family, I can continue to build a house. Yang explained, leaving room for expansion. After all, I said before that I would tell my brothers about my daughter-in-law. With a daughter-in-law, the baby is not far away!

All the stonemasons from the neighboring villages were invited to come and build houses with stones at the foot of the mountain. Song Ming was too lazy to count the pieces and contracted them directly. All the foundations of the house need stones. Just hold a number. It took eighty taels of silver.

After that, a steady stream of green bricks were placed on the ground for half a mile.

There are those who are good at making mud bricks, and the whole family goes into battle. If you can make seven or eight hundred mud bricks a day, you can earn a bonus of 300 Wen. Some are looking for work to do, to build a house, and everyone knows how to do it.

Seventy or eighty middle-aged men and fifteen houses came, at a speed visible to the naked eye, one day at a time. In just half a month, it can already be on the beam!

When the beam is on the beam at home, you always have to treat yourself. Yang managed a few tables, which was a celebration.

The second uncle of the Yang family didn't have so much wood, so he could only take Song Ming to buy wood for the beams, and it took a few days to put the beams and roof on them. Originally, the Yang family wanted to buy tiles, but Song Ming refused.

The house of the eldest brother and sister-in-law is still a mud and straw roof, how can they use tiles. Besides, fifteen houses, dozens of them, are estimated to cost a hundred taels of silver with tiles, which is too much.

Seeing Song Ming's insistence, the Yang family didn't say anything more.

When the fifteen houses were built, the eyes of Song Ming, Chen Qiao and others were red, and this would be their home in the future. Now that the weather is warm, after a few days of work, the house is dry, and these people directly move their beds into it, and live in their own house that night.

Eleven people, each of whom chooses one set. In fact, it's the same inside and out, and there's no choice.

As for the furniture, it was all contracted to the second uncle of the Yang family and the eldest uncle of the Yang family, and they were done slowly and without hurry.

Chen Qiao's swineherd did a good job, and in a blink of an eye, the little pigs of more than ten catties grew to more than thirty catties in a month. When those little pigs saw Chen Qiao, they screamed excitedly as if they saw their own father!

Calculating the time, the eldest brother and the other brothers must have arrived in the northwest.

Yang saw that there was nothing to do at home, so he said to Chen Qiao: "Chen Qiao, your wife is alone at home, life must be difficult, you take your mother over, we can also take care of each other." ”

Chen Qiao, who has always been cheerful, nodded with red eyes and said, "Sister-in-law, thank you." I packed my things, took a brother with me, and went on my way to bring all the other family members over. ”

"Okay, when you go, come to me and get a coil!" Yang explained that this was what her husband asked her to take care of before leaving, and she must do a good job and have the demeanor of an eldest sister-in-law.

Chen Qiao prepared for two days, and handed over the focus of pig raising with the other brothers, and Yang asked for fifty taels of silver and set off.

On this day, Steward Zheng came over in person. A lot of watermelons were planted this year, especially the three acres of sandy land at the door. The output is very good, half of it is given to the Zheng family to sell, and half is given to the Ruan family. With the advantages of being big and tasting well, it was sold for forty wen a catty. The few acres of watermelons at the gate alone were sold for thousands of silver.

As for the watermelons in the backyard, none of them were sold, and they were all kept for their own consumption. However, Ruan Er occasionally came over to pick a few to eat, and asked for money, but Yang resolutely did not want to.

"Uncle in-law, you are here, sit inside." The Yang family hurriedly greeted Steward Zheng, this is Zheng Qiang's uncle, a fixed relative, and he can't be half neglected.

After the shopkeeper Zheng got out of the car, he was followed by a little kid, and this person was Zheng Kaiming.

"Hehe, my sister-in-law is polite. This last time I transported watermelons, and I sent you the money. Steward Zheng said with a smile, the money he brought last time was not enough, and he owed dozens of taels of silver.

"They are all relatives, so you can give them whenever you want." Yang said politely, "You sit and rest, I'll let you pick watermelons!" ”

Zheng Kaiming stepped forward with a smile and said, "Aunt Yang, your watermelon is delicious, I like to eat it the most." ”

"Okay, if you like to eat, I'll pick it right away, you can eat more." Yang said with a smile, he also knew the young master of the Zheng family.

If it was before, the Yang family would feel that they didn't dare to climb high, but since the county lord and Master Wu came to the house for dinner, she felt that her family was not bad, and there was no need to feel inferior.

"Well, thank you Aunt Yang. By the way, what about Xiao Jiu'er? Zheng Kaiming looked around, but he didn't see the eccentric Du Jiumei. He came over just to play with Du Balang and Du Jiumei.

Yang pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Xiao Jiu'er, go with his two brothers to catch fish." ”

"Catch fish, where? I'm going too. Zheng Kaiming's eyes lit up, it was still fun in the countryside, he could dig birds' nests and go fishing.

"Don't go, count the time, it's time for them to come back." The Yang family stopped, the little young master in this city is very delicate, and he can't let the little young master be in danger.

Zheng Kaiming was very disappointed in his heart, and his expression was lonely. (To be continued......)
