Qi Shan and the others got out of the carriage, all of them were tall and strong, and they immediately won the favor of the master stonemason, and called the four of them to carry the stones.

Yu Liang and Yang Zhiwen led a group of strong men in the village to demolish the old houses, and the three old houses and a row of small houses in the backyard were all demolished, and the bricks and timbers that could be used were picked up and placed aside. Mr. Zhou personally supervised the master stonemason to draw a neat baseline on the ground with grass ash and ropes before asking Lu Zhong to send him back.

Lu Xiaoyi's uncles also rushed to devote themselves to the vigorous rammed earth business, Lu Xiaoyi looked around, only to see the new foundation crowded with people, from time to time burst into laughter.

There is a lot of strength in a large number of people, and there is also a large amount of food in a large number of people.

The first three days were the busiest, and it was also the most helper, Yulan invited Sister-in-law Hua to help, plus Su Qing, Wang Dongmei and Xiaoyi Xiaoding worked together, only to cook a group of people's meals, until the end of the groundbreaking ceremony on June 9, the village helpers dispersed.

Qi Shan and the others took the Yu family's courtyard as their station, and went to the Lu family to help with Yu Liang every day, while Lu Xiaoyi's four uncles came in shifts, after all, the Wang family also had a fish business to do. Yang Zhiwen is still very good, he comes to Lu's house whenever he has free time, plus Lu Shouzeng, Lu Zhong and Lu Yong, there is no need to ask for helpers.

Laying the foundation stone is the most time-consuming and labor-intensive work, and the stonemasons like to sing the masonry horn to render the labor atmosphere. If there is no woman present, they will sing something similar to "Sweet sister is tearful, Brother Han is broken, Sweet sister has a soft waist, Brother Han is straight" and the like. Minor tones, if a woman is present. They sang some very serious masonry trumpets.

Most of the time, there are no women on the construction site, and the men like to sing some love. Minor tones. The Lu family is different, Mrs. Lu is a person who likes to be a supervisor and loves to watch the excitement, often standing not far away with her grandson in her arms, staring at the stonemasons on the construction site with her eyes like electricity.

The stonemasons were forced to honestly sing the most serious masonry trumpet.

Lu Xiaoyi likes to listen to these very charming masonry trumpets, once the stonemasons start to lift the stones, she hides in the dark and listens secretly, only listening to those rough and hoarse and low voices humming:

The stone is big and heavy. Hey, hey... Keep your eyes on it. Hey, hey... Don't sparkle under your feet, hey, hey...

The waist pole should be straight, hey, hey... Let's work together, hey, hey... Step by step. Hey, hey...

The tone is bright and simple. Lu Xiaoyi unconsciously hummed. Even when the fire was burning, he also smiled and sang, Xiao Ding listened to it and laughed again and again, saying that the eldest sister was like a stonemason.

Lu Xiaoyi asked Xiaoding to sing along. Xiaoding shook his head and was unwilling, so Lu Xiaoyi leaned into her ear and sang repeatedly, and said with a wicked smile: "I sing in your ear every day." ”

Yulan smiled: "Okay, okay, don't make trouble, Xiao Yi quickly wash the vegetables out, Xiao Ding, you boil some more water, the craftsmen drink diligently." ”

As he was talking, Yu Liang came over with an empty teapot, wearing a short brown linen cloth for work, and smiled at Lu Xiaoyi with a gray face.

Lu Xiaoyi washed a cucumber for him and asked, "Brother Liang, can you sing the masonry horn?" ”

Ding giggled again.

Yulan took the empty pot and scolded Xiao Yi with a smile: "Okay, don't be like a stupid girl, everyone asks for masonry." ”

Yu Liang touched his nose and nodded: "It's easy to learn and remember, just listen and listen." ”

Lu Xiaoyi said excitedly: "Sing and listen!" ”

Yu Liang blushed and shook his head, unable to sing like Xiao Ding.

Lu Xiaoyi is a generous girl, and said with a smile: "Na, you can't sing, I'll sing it to you." ”

Imagine a girl with long hands and long legs, squatting by the bucket while washing vegetables while singing the masonry horn sung by the pure masters, how weird the picture looks, even the surplus food twitched the corners of her mouth slightly, and finally made an appreciative expression for face, Yulan and Xiaoding laughed tears came out, and even Su Qing and Wang Dongmei later laughed and bent over.

After Lu Xiaoyi finished humming, he pursed his lips and whispered, "What's ridiculous?" I don't know how to appreciate. ”

Who thought that after a few days, Xiao Ding actually hummed and was caught by Lu Xiaoyi, Xiao Ding blushed and blamed Lu Xiaoyi, blaming her for humming in her ear every day, and she learned it if she didn't want to.

Lu Xiaoyi laughed, which made Xiao Ding's face even redder, and he closed his mouth tightly, looking determined not to speak again.

Later, Lu Xiaoyi found that the rhythmic masonry horn was quickly sung in the village, there were young people humming loudly without scruples, and there were also Qi Shan and others who helped shouting loudly.

Bricklayers and carpenters are coming one after another, laying bricks is faster than building cornerstones, and carpentry work is the slowest. Carpentry work is delicate work, and you can't rush it. When the main body of the new house was completed and the beams were installed, Lu Zhong went to Mr. Zhou to set an auspicious day for the beams.

The upper beam is the most important part of building a house, mainly refers to the process of installing the highest middle beam of the roof, which is not only related to whether the structure of the house is firm, but also related to the good fortune and misfortune of the main house. Mr. Zhou chose the afternoon of August 16, which fits the full moon and the meaning of family reunion.

Lu Xiaoyi sighed that time passed so quickly, more than two months passed in a flash, and the main body of her family's new house was completed.

August 15 is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the work is suspended for a day, the craftsmen all go home for the festival, and Qi Shan and others stay in the Lu family to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together.

Su Qing's father brought a letter a while ago to ask her to go back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together, Yulan planned to let Lu Zhong send a trip, Su Qing smiled lightly: "Tomorrow is the auspicious day of Shangliang, and my brother-in-law is still busy preparing things for sacrifice, I still don't bother my brother-in-law, there is a donkey cart carrying passengers at the entrance of the village, I will take a trip to the city first." ”

Yulan shook her head, "No, no, no, you are a girl's family, how can I rest assured that you are traveling alone." ”

Su Qing laughed at herself: "Old girl, it's okay." ”

Lu Xiaoyi took the opportunity to say: "Mother, let Uncle Zhang send it on your behalf!" The carriage is not only fast, but it is also more comfortable to sit on than a donkey cart. ”

Yulan felt that this was the best, after all, Zhang Tieniu was someone they knew well. It's safer than Su Qing driving someone else's car, Yulan looked at Su Qing and said with a smile: "Then let Brother Tie Niu give you a ride, I don't feel at ease after all to take an outsider's car." ”

Su Qing nodded, firstly, she didn't want Yulan to bother about her going home, and secondly, Zhang Tieniu was quite familiar with her, was she familiar? Su Qing was a little embarrassed, he hadn't met with him, and he hadn't said a word, so he really wanted to be familiar. is also because he is familiar with the Lu family. By the way, let's get acquainted with yourself!

Lu Xiaoyi excitedly told Zhang Tieniu the good news, blinking and reminding him to cherish the hard-won opportunity, Zhang Tieniu was so excited, brushed his hair and pulled his shirt. Embarrassed to ask Xiao Yi: "My image is okay, right?" ”

Lu Xiaoyi glanced at it. I remembered his glamorous outfit at the beginning. Looking at the image of working on the construction site for two consecutive months, there is no comparison at all! The beard was all grown, and the linen was short brownish and crumpled. Fortunately, I am full of energy, make do with it, and it is more suitable for the image of the coachman.

Zhang Tieniu didn't wait for Xiao Yi to answer, he was already impatient to lead the horse and set the car, and he found a feather duster out of nowhere and swept the inside and outside of the carriage for a while.

Qi Shan and Xu Wu walked over and looked at Zhang Tieniu strangely, Qi Shan asked, "Tie Niu, when did you become so particular?" Say, what are you going to do? ”

"Help the Lu family send a relative." Zhang Tieniu's tone was flat and natural, but his heart was surging, and he couldn't wait to kick the two of them away.

As soon as he heard that he was helping the Lu family send people away, Qi Shan had no objection, and waved his hand: "Go and go back quickly, and my brothers will have a good drink in the evening." ”

At this time, Su Qing came out of the main room with a small package, Yulan followed her and said something to her, the two walked to the carriage, Zhang Tieniu actively put down the small bench and waited for Su Qing to get on the car.

Mrs. Lu hurriedly came over with Xiao Rui in her arms, and told Su Qing: "Beware of your black-eyed sister-in-law, don't be stupid and listen to her arrangements, what's wrong with the old girl?" An old girl can also marry a good family, don't let her sell you! ”

Mrs. Lu's voice was not small, and Su Qing's face was scornful, not only grateful for Mrs. Lu's concern, but also ashamed of Mrs. Lu for mentioning the old girl's marriage in public.

The Lu family and Zhang Tieniu both knew about Su Qing's situation in advance, but Qi Shan and Xu Wu didn't know, in the past two months, they helped build a house in the Lu family, and they both worked on the construction site outside, Su Qing mostly helped in the backyard, and occasionally appeared quickly to avoid, Qi Shan and Xu Wu didn't pay attention at all, at this moment, listening to Mrs. Lu talk about the old girl and getting married or something, Qi Shan and Xu Wu's eyes were straight, combined with Zhang Tieniu's abnormal performance in the past half a year, they instantly understood something!

Qi Shan used his fist to block his mouth and nose and pretend to cough twice, and then lowered the volume appropriately to make his voice sound thicker, "Tie Niu, Brother Lu still has to prepare for Shangliang's affairs here, you are more capable than me, you just stay and help Brother Lu, and I will go to give people away!" ”

Xu Wu had already stepped forward to help lead the horse, "Let's go, this horse listens to me the most, and keeps the people safe and secure." ”

Zhang Tieniu was anxious, wanting to snatch the reins from Xu Wu's hand and reward him with a leg sweep by the way, but he was worried about scaring Miss Su, he was secretly anxious and had no countermeasures, seeing Lu Xiaoyi standing aside and laughing silently, he hurriedly asked her for help.

Lu Xiaoyi glanced at Yulan, shook his head lightly at Zhang Tieniu, and signaled him not to fight, Zhang Tieniu understood, and honestly stood aside without speaking.

Yulan is such a smart person, she suddenly saw Qi Shan and Xu Wu's intentions, and thought that Su Qing was not familiar with Qi Shan and Xu Wu, and it was really inappropriate for them to send them, so she smiled and said to Qi Shan: "Brother Qi, let's let Brother Tie Niu go." ”

As for the reason, Magnolia does not explain.

Qi Shan is also a smart person, and laughed and said: "Forget it, let Brother Tie Niu go, Shangliang is complicated, and a careful person like me can help Brother Shanglu." ”

Xu Wu didn't go to the road, and pulled the reins, "The one who is in charge is a careful person, and the Tie Niu brothers are capable people, you all stay to help, let me run!" ”

Yulan frowned slightly, she made it clear what she meant in and out of her words, but Xu Wu didn't say anything, and she couldn't say anything more. Moreover, at this moment, shouldn't Qi Shan stand up and say a few words? Xu Wu is his man! But Qi Shan pretended not to know, and looked like he was watching a good show.

Zhang Tieniu glared at Xu Wu, his nostrils had already begun to suffolate, and seeing that a vinegar war between brothers was about to break out, the swaying Qin matchmaker appeared in time, shaking a dark green handkerchief, and ran towards Xu Wu with a smile, "Ouch, I can be regarded as looking for you, the delicate little widow who introduced you last time, what did you think about?" ”

Xu Wu shuddered, dropped the reins and quickly ran towards the Yu family's small courtyard, and Mrs. Qin chased after her, "Eh! Don't run, they're still waiting for you to reply! ”

Xu Wu ran faster and faster, as if he had practiced peerless martial arts such as Ling Bo Weibu, and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Qin Matchmaker's wife chased out for a while, but finally lost her physical strength, stopped and crossed her waist and panted, scolding and scolding: "The dog bites Lu Dongbin and doesn't know the hearts of good people, bah, you are a person with a crotch cloth covering your face, you deserve not to marry a daughter-in-law!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi saw that Mrs. Qin had successfully knocked Xu Wu out, and urged with a smile, "It's not early, Uncle Zhang, you can take Aunt Qing on the road quickly!" ”

Zhang Tieniu nodded happily and said happily: "Okay, let's go!" ”

Yulan helped Su Qing to get into the car, and explained to Zhang Tieniu before seeing the carriage leave. (To be continued.) )
