Chapter 16 Transformation
When he was far away, An Li carried pork and red dates, and Erniu Dan slowly walked towards Wenchuan with pine nut candy and zongzi leaves.
"You guys are back, there are still two bamboo tubes left that have not been sold, and I exchanged a handful of celery and two catties of tofu with the aunt who sells vegetables." Wen Chuan saw An Li coming back from them, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the things An Li was carrying.
"Let's make celery dumplings and eat them that night!" An Li proposed
"Dumplings, oh eat dumplings." Erniu Dan is always very excited to eat. Maybe it's still a child's temperament, An Li thought of her little nephew, her little nephew can have half of the enthusiasm for eating, and An Li burned high incense.
"Okay, just eat dumplings!" Wen Chuan put everything in an empty wooden barrel. "Let's go, let's buy noodles and go home!"
Before An could leave the door, Xinghua opened the door and said with a smile, "Why is it so early today?" I came back together, and I heard you talk a long time ago, and I guessed it was you."
Wen Chuan came in with the things, and said while putting the things, "The young master of the Guo Mansion has given Lihua a half-day holiday, so don't you all come back early, let's eat dumplings in the evening!" ”
Xinghua looked at An Li and said, "Sister, it's better to dress like this!" Then he said happily: "Oh, it just so happens that I have finished the clothes of the eldest brother and the second cow, and I don't know how to get you to take it off for me to see." ”
"Let's go, I'll take it off for you to see" An Li pulled the apricot blossom and walked into the house. Seeing the clothes that had been made on the kang, An Li felt sad for a while, how old was he to be able to sew clothes and make quilts. An Li hugged Xinghua and said, "Sister, I will definitely buy you the most beautiful clothes in the future!" ”
After a while, Xinghua pushed An away and said: "Okay, okay, don't come to call me tears, it's all crumpled cotton, this should be made for me!" As she spoke, Xinghua wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand.
"Sister, is this made for me?" Erniu Dan picked up the small clothes on the kang and gestured on himself.
"Well, it's for you, the long one is for the eldest brother," Xinghua smiled
"I finally have new clothes, and no one will call me Hanako again!" Erniu Dan carefully touched the clothes made for him.
"If you like it, try it!" An Li's heart was sour.
"I'll wait until I'm done in the shower." Er Niu Dan put the clothes back and said, "Sister, don't get it, cook quickly, I want to eat dumplings, I haven't eaten dumplings for a long time"
An Li and Xinghua smiled and put away their things, got up and went to cook. An Li stewed the bones on the stove first, and then went to the yard to pull a handful of coriander and green onions and mix a tofu, the apricot blossoms had already adjusted the filling, the noodles were also reconciled, Wen Chuan also came over to help, and the hot dumplings were out of the pot after a while. This meal was the most satisfying meal An Li had since he crossed over.
After dinner, Xinghua went to fiddle with her clothes again, and Wen Chuan asked An Li, "If you don't sell glutinous rice balls, what are you going to do?" Xinghua also stopped, and the scissors in her hand propped up her ears. Erniu Dan also looked at An Li curiously.
An Li handed Wen Chuan the drawings that he showed Guo Jinghai during the day and told her plan, Wen Chuan took the drawings and looked at them for a long time and said in embarrassment: "Big brother is useless, he can't do this." ”
An Li took the drawings and put them in his arms and said: "Big brother, you didn't do this in the first place, it's normal if you can't do it, and you can make so many appliances alone?" ”
Wen Chuan saw that An Li looked like he had a plan, so he put his mind at ease, and actively said that he would inquire about where there was a better joiner tomorrow.
Everyone slept, and An Li still wrote the installment plan on the table with carbon strips, although An Li recognized a lot of words for more than 20 days, but he still scribbled and changed it until midnight.
On the morning of the second day, he left early in the morning and went to Guo's mansion, and asked Guo Yuanzhi to help him re-transcribe the plan before asking Laifu to send it to Guo Jinghai.
An Li's plan was implemented on the same day, and it was said that the response was good, and there were quite a few people who asked, and An Li was even more relieved, but after a few days, fewer and fewer people asked, and even those who were interested were gone, and even the prefect brother of the second lady also came to say that the rich businessmen who wanted to buy land did not want to come again even if they demolished those houses.
An Li looked at Guo Yuanzhi with a sad look and asked him what's wrong? Guo Yuanzhi told An Li that his father was busy with the land and asked Guo Yuanzhi to deal with the house by himself. But Guo Yuanzhi wants to prepare for the selection of Tianlong Academy, and second, he wants money and no money.
An Li said: "What's so difficult about this, it just so happens that this matter will be handled by me, you can prepare for the selection with peace of mind!" Guo Yuanzhi thought about it, and then said: "If you can really do this well, the one hundred taels of silver will really be given to you."
Now An Li is very happy, if she really wants her to send this hundred taels of silver back, she is still a little reluctant, every day she has to take a good look at the box of money, for fear that one day it will not be her own.
"Will you come when the audition comes?" Guo Yuanzhi asked.
"Go, you must go" At this time, An Li was already so excited that she was willing to do whatever she wanted.
Out of Guo Fu'an, he really wanted to sing "Sunday is the day of liberation..."
Guo Yuanzhi arranged for someone to inform the tenant not to renew the lease, and the two households adjacent to An Li's house also vacated the house, An Li first asked people to seal the gate twice, pushed the two courtyard walls, and then picked up the bricks and sealed the doors of the left and right houses.
On the left, after blocking the door, he opened another door on the wall next to the sofa and opened the door to the adjacent room, and on the right, he also opened the door on the wall, and now it was finally a two-room room.
An Li's four brothers and sisters don't have to squeeze on a kang, An Li and Xinghua are still sleeping in the original house, Wen Chuan moved to a new house with Erniu Dan, and now that he has money, he doesn't have to make do with it, so in two days, the desk, chairs, and wardrobes are all prepared for Wen Chuan.
The kang in the middle room was also demolished, and on the wall in the center hung a landscape painting that An Li had poured back from the thrift market, and a pair of pairs were hung on both sides. In the middle of the hall is a folding table with a stool underneath.
An Li's room just wiped the table where the board was placed and used it as a desk, and the shelf was just used for books. The two stoves have also been changed, and they can also boil water.
The previous yard was small, but the wall was demolished, and the yard immediately became bigger, An Lirang set up a kitchen in the yard, and also used bricks to build a 3-meter cabinet and equipped with a wooden door, and opened a 60-centimeter pool on the kitchen counter, and hung a wooden barrel against the wall a little above the pool, and left a hole in the middle of the barrel with a plug, and then opened it when needed. The water opened a hole directly under the corner of the wall, and led it with bamboo to the small vegetable patch in the yard.
An Li is very satisfied with this kitchen, no longer has to smell the smoke to sleep, and more importantly, this is the ancient version of the whole kitchen! The new kitchen was repaired, and the apricot blossoms were dumbfounded, touching here and there.
There is also a simple bathroom next to the kitchen, and the wooden barrel is hung on the wall outside the house, so that the water can heat itself when there is sun, or you can boil the water and add it, and there is a bamboo pipe for water on the wall of the house, which is also plugged in.
In the end, all the remaining garbage was added to a cellar, on which a chicken shed was simply built and fenced with bamboo, and the other two were left with only one opening and dug into a large cellar.
