Ling'er and the old lady came out of Grandpa Huzi's house, and Grandma Huzi happily sent them two alleys all the way, until the old lady repeatedly thanked her and asked her to stay, she didn't stop, and watched the two go away, then turned around and went home slowly. The curious daughter-in-law on the road asked, "Aunt Quan, why are you so happy early in the morning?" ”

Grandma Huzi smiled: "My old man has just taken a new job, so he is naturally happy!" ”

"Really? Uncle Quan is old, and you don't let him enjoy the blessings? Hey, by the way, Aunt Quan, what kind of work? I just saw that the stupid girl's mother and daughter had just left, could it be that their family was going to build a house? ”

Grandma Huzi laughed and said, "So what? Are you red-eyed? ”

The daughter-in-law laughed dryly: "What are my eyes red for?" His house will collapse as soon as it blows, and I don't want to give it to me! ”

"Isn't that what it takes? Don't ask, get to work! Grandma Huzi waved her hand and went home happily.

On the way, the old lady whispered: "Ling'er, why did you make up your mind to make mud embryos with one mouth?" I also ordered three rooms at once! Our foundation, beams, doors and windows have not yet landed, don't make the mud embryo when the time comes, the foundation is not good, the house can't be built, the mud embryo will not be blind? ”

"No, don't worry, Ling'er has already thought of a way! You'll be able to build your house before it snows! ”

The old lady sighed again and again: "Alas, you kid, you don't have a bottom to speak, we haven't discussed it with your father yet!" There are only three taels of silver in the house, and I originally planned to build only one house and maybe I could leave one or two taels of silver for the winter, but you ordered three rooms at once, and I don't know if the silver is enough? Alas! ”

"Don't worry, mother, daddy must be fine! The silver for the winter, Ling'er will definitely be able to find a way to earn it! ”

The old lady looked at her thin body but patted her chest with a confident look, and her heart felt uncomfortable for a while, and she couldn't help but lift her sleeve and wipe the corners of her eyes. The two returned home and reported to their father, and the old lady couldn't help but muttered about Fang Cai's worries again, Ling'er listened carefully, and then said seriously:

"Dad, mother, you know that Ling'er is blessed by the god of the mountain, there is a lot of strength in her body, her father has raised Ling'er for so many years, Ling'er has nothing to repay, I hope to use this strength to let my father and mother live in a new house, and spend the winter in peace!

Therefore, the foundation, beams and pillars of our house are all covered by Ling'er, and the doors and windows are temporarily made up with the old ones, and they will be made up when there is money. It will take at least half a month for Grandpa Huzi to dry the mud embryo, so I will take advantage of this time to go into the mountains during the day to find wood, and come back in the evening to dig the foundation, it will definitely be done, please believe in Ling'er! ”

The old couple glanced at each other, was silent for a long time, and the old father said: "Damn, it's all my fault that this old bone is useless, and I can't help and I have to take care of you, and you are the only one who helps Ling'er in building a house!" ”

The old lady hurriedly said: "His father, what nonsense, you are the pillar of our family, Ling'er and I are still waiting for you to take care of your body and live a good life together, right, Ling'er!" ”

Ling'er nodded again and again: "Yes, Dad, you have to give birth well, our new house is still waiting for you to cap it yourself!" ”

The family was sad and warm and discussed for a long time, set the day, the hour, the foundation, the accounts, and a bunch of other things, and did not go to bed until the lamp oil was almost used up.

The next day, the family had breakfast and walked around the yard a few times, of course, for the purpose of choosing the foundation of the new house. Fortunately, the yard was large enough and there were no homes nearby, so they quickly chose to tear down the livestock shed next to the kitchen and start drawing a three-room foundation from there.

Then Ling'er took the money given by the old lady to the town to buy tools, and the old lady went to ask the old village chief to come to see the land, and by the way, she made a record and reported it, and then paid the money to buy the land, so that the house built up was reasonable and legal, and the deed could be obtained later.

Ling'er habitually carried a basket when she went out, digging wild vegetables and herbs all the way to the town, and inquired about Dr. Xu's whereabouts by the way. She had been to the ruined temple, and the people in the town had also asked, but unfortunately everyone said that they had never been back since Dr. Xu left with her that day. Ling'er was a little lost and worried, and finally could only look at the direction of the vast mountain and let out a long sigh.

When she came home with a bunch of things on her back, she found that there was a large circle of people at the gate of the courtyard, pointing at the courtyard and whispering something. Ling'er thought about it, stopped, and stuffed all the newly bought things into the bottom of the back basket, piling a thick layer of wild vegetables and herbs on top of it, until others couldn't see it at all, and then easily picked up the back basket and smiled.

When people saw her, they greeted her warmly, and naturally they inevitably looked at her back basket twice.

"Oops, the silly girl is back! You are really your father's lucky star, only a few days ago, your father and mother have the money to build a new house! Silly girl, I heard that you met a noble person last time you got lost, and they gave you a lot of good things, right? You also give a lot of silver, right? If you don't say anything, you can have dozens of taels, right?

Tsk, Aunt Yang is really, she has to hide it when she has silver, for fear that we will take advantage of her, alas! ”

Ling'er saw that the person who spoke was the annoying Yan Erniang, she endured it, squeezed out a smile and said, "Auntie, the nobleman's silver is also earned, not falling from the sky, how can you just give it?"

Last time I sent my little sister back, her father and mother had already given clothes, food and five hundred dollars, this time to build a house, or my mother cheekily borrowed two or three taels of silver from others, not only to repay the principal in the future, but also to repay a cent of interest! ”

Yan Erniang laughed dryly: "Tsk, look, this girl can talk a lot, don't worry, you don't need to help your father and mother play sloppy, no matter how much money you have, we won't worry!" ”

Ling'er was a little angry, and sneered: "It's useless to worry, the silver won't be available until the checkout, and now there is no penny!" Then she separated the crowd and walked into the courtyard with her head held high, Yan Erniang's face turned pale with anger, and she spat at Ling'er's back: "Hmph! Little girl, there are times when you cry! ”

When the village chief finished making records and went back, almost everyone in the village knew that Ling'er's family was going to build a new house! The situation of Ling'er's family is in the vicinity of several villages, and people in several villages know that they are suddenly going to build a new house, where will they get the money?

Although Ling'er's family has repeatedly explained, people don't believe it! said that there are nobles, but where are the nobles? Which household? Which village do you live in? What is the last name? Ling'er herself can't say why. So rumors about Ling'er's family making a windfall suddenly spread: some said that Ling'er picked up a lot of silver when she fell into the sinkhole, some said that Ling'er stole something to get the silver, and some said that Ling'er saved Xu Banxian's silver, anyway, there are different opinions.

A few days before the news came out, the courtyard of Ling'er's house was overcrowded almost every day, everyone came to watch, some came to see the excitement, some had ulterior motives, and some asked if they wanted to help? Of course, this help is not for nothing, and it has to be paid.

For a few more days, everyone saw that there was no movement at Ling'er's house, and the number of people who came gradually decreased, but there were more and more secretly peeping eyes around, and they were really tired.

Although Ling'er had been mentally prepared for this, and the money and other things had been hidden a long time ago, she was stared at by so many pairs of eyes every day, and she couldn't do it! If the people in the village knew that she was infinitely powerful, and the foundation of the house was all dug by her little girl, it would be strange if she didn't treat her as a monster!

So, Ling'er discussed with her father and decided to go to the vast mountains tomorrow to find wood, and help her father dig herbs by the way.
