Chapter 154
When the meal was served, Qi Shan was overjoyed, and he applauded vigorously, causing Qi Feng's nostrils to puff again and again, like an angry cow.
Qi Shan said: "If you want to plow, you have to look at the time, haven't you seen the heavy rain outside?" ”
Qi Feng was wearing Lu Zhong's old clothes, his hair was loosely tied behind his back after drying, which looked a little feminine, when Lu Xiaoyi served the food, he glanced at him a few times, and secretly gave him an undefeated honorific title in the East, and then looked at the surplus grain sitting upright next to Qi Feng, although he was not as handsome as Qi Feng, but he had his own characteristics, and there was Xi Shi in the eyes of his lover, Lu Xiaoyi looked good at him.
The men wanted to drink, so Yulan divided some of each dish and took her children to eat at the small table next door.
The rain outside is getting heavier and heavier, and the rain curtain has been woven under the eaves, and the autumn tiger who has been showing off his might for more than ten days has died down in this heavy rain, completely taking away the last trace of summer heat, an autumn rain and a cold, which is the rhythm of wearing a jacket.
When it rains, the peasants have a day off, and they don't have to work in the fields. The same is true for the Lu family, there is no need to bake cakes in the afternoon, just stay at home and mix up the day. The suppliers have stopped production, and the shops in the city are not in a hurry, so the shopkeepers and the young masters are eating and drinking with peace of mind, a table of dishes is heated twice, a jar of wine is halfway down, a table of people drink their tongues are knotted, and a meal is eaten for more than an hour, and finally ended.
Magnolia made a pot of strong tea for them to relieve their hangover, arranged for them to rest in the hall, and took her daughters to clean up the cups, plates and bowls.
Lu Xiaoyi took some coarse chaff and rubbed off the oil stains and residues on the cups, plates and bowls, this method of cleaning oil stains with coarse bran. It is easier to use and environmentally friendly than the dishwashing essence of the previous life, the cups and plates that are wiped clean only need to be rinsed with water once to be clean as new, and the coarse bran stained with oil can be used to feed pigs and chickens, which is really a chaff and multi-functional!
Yulan said sadly: "Stay on a rainy day, this rain will not stop, you have to stay with the Qi family father and son for one night!" "Yulan is not hospitable, but sad that there are few bedrooms, and a hall is made in the middle of the three rooms, and a small half is separated behind the hall to make a granary. The bedrooms on both sides are the husband and wife and their children, and it is not very spacious to put some cabinets, tables and stools. But if there is a visitor. Children have to come and squeeze together with their parents, and the bedroom is let out for guests to live, it doesn't matter if the children are young, but it is inconvenient to get older day by day.
Lu Xiaoyi knew what Yulan was worried about. Her most frequent guest in the house was her grandmother. When you come, you can sleep on a kang with them. The uncle came and returned on the same day, and I thought it was inconvenient to come to the house, remembering the New Year. When her uncles, aunts, cousins, and cousins came to pay New Year's greetings, her family's house suddenly became cramped. The men squeezed a kang, the women and children squeezed a kang, thinking about the big man of the four uncles and his father and the two older cousins, Lu Xiaoyi didn't know how they squeezed down, whether someone was hung on the wall at night or someone was squeezed off the kang, or meditated and fell asleep. Xiao Yi only knew that women and children were crowded together, and her mother and aunts sat almost all night, giving up as much space as possible to the children.
Although Lu Shouzeng asked Lu Zhong to arrange for some guests to live in the empty house in the west, the Wang family did not want to cause trouble, and the children did not want to go over. The children like this feeling of squeezing together, you scratch me and I tug you, I just think it's fun, but Lu Xiaoyi is not a child, she still remembers that feeling, it's really warm and sad.
"Mother, let's build a big yard next year!"
Yulan smiled: "Well, I am also discussing this matter with your father, and all the money I earn this year will be used to build a house next year, and I plan to build a bigger one." ”
The dwellings in Xiaxi Village are similar to the closed courtyard houses in the previous life, to be exact, it is a complex of the courtyard and the quadrangle, the front yard does not have an inverted house, but there is a row of back cover houses in the back yard, and then the cover house is not exclusively for the female dependents of the family to live, but is used for the stove house, firewood room, miscellaneous room, and enclosure.
Lu Xiaoyi thought about it, why not propose to build the new courtyard into a two-way courtyard in the previous life! In fact, it is similar to the layout of today's yard, which is equivalent to two sets of Lu family yards connected, the front yard is built with a row of inverted houses, the utility room, the firewood room, the livestock enclosure are moved to the inverted house, the stove room, the dining room, and the bathroom can be set up in the corner room on both sides, the east and west sides of the front yard can be used as a guest room, and the family lives in the backyard, and the yard where they live, how they want to arrange it!
Lu Xiaoyi told Yulan about the proposal, and Yulan smiled: "You don't build one yard, you build two!" We don't have enough money. ”
"Mother, building a house is also a major event in life, some people will live in a yard for a lifetime and will not build a new house until they die, since we have caught up, we will build a big house, and the future children and grandchildren of the province will have a big house, and they will have to build it again if they can't live in it!"
As soon as Xiao Ding heard Lu Xiaoyi's suggestion, he excitedly agreed: "Yes, yes, the eldest sister is right, anyway, we have to build a new yard, just build a bigger one!" ”
"You see, my grandfather's house is two sets of yards connected into one." Lu Xiaoyi brought out specific examples.
Yulan said angrily: "What do you know, the yard in front of your grandfather's house was built by your great-grandfather, and the one in the back was built by your grandfather. ”
Lu Xiaoyi laughed and said: "It doesn't matter, mother, while our family can make money, we can build more houses, and having a house and land is a good thing for the descendants of Fuyin!" ”
Let's ask which parents don't want to leave more property for their children and grandchildren, Yulan is still moved, and a little worried, "If the dry food business continues like this, we will be able to save enough money next year, but our family will build two sets of yards at once, and then the people in the village will have to talk nonsense." ”
Xiao Yi was impatient, "Whoever likes to talk can just say it, we are the ones who work hard, we are the ones who make money, we are the ones who build houses, and we are the ones who live in new houses." Those who see others doing well but don't work hard themselves deserve to be greedy! It's the most annoying to talk about it all day! ”
Lu Xiaoyi complained, her mouth was pouting, her thick eyebrows and small eyes were more and more similar to Lu Zhong, Yulan smiled and poked her forehead, "Look at you like that, it seems that someone borrowed your rice to pay you back your grain!" ”
Xiao Ding covered his mouth and smiled, "Whoever wants to borrow rice to return the grain, the eldest sister will definitely not do it!" ”
"Na, to put it mildly, I'm the same as the landlord who picks the door, I'm very generous! It's different from those who have to lock up the firewood! "Lu Xiaoyi, this is talking about Fang Lizheng! Yulan glanced at her with a smile, "If you want him to listen to what you say, the gift we gave from our family a while ago will be in vain!" ”
Lu Xiaoyi said solemnly: "Then I'll go and come back!" ”
Xiao Ding smiled, "It's all eaten, if you don't come back!" ”
Lu Xiaoyi smiled, "How is it possible, it must still be locked!" ”
"Okay, okay, the more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes, pack up the stove and go to the front quickly, I don't know if they will wake up after drinking strong tea?"
It turns out that strong tea is not an antidote at all.
Lu Shouzeng and Lu Yong have been helped by Qi Feng and Yu Liang to sleep in the west courtyard, at this time Qi Shan and Lu Zhong, who are guarding the drunken and talkative, this kind of half-drunk and half-awake and talkative people are the most fatal, Qi Shan began to brag about his brave deeds on the way to the dart, Lu Zhong said that the crops in the field, you said that you raised the boulder with both hands, he said that the bud rice stick was not finished, you said that the mountain bandit was split with one palm, he said that the sweet potato can also be dug up, the two are completely bull's head and not the horse's mouth, and they still talk very happily!
Magnolia smiled and let the children play in the hall, and she went to the next room to do needlework.
Lu Xiaoyi listened to the intoxicating drunken words for a while, and looked at Yu Liang and Qi Feng with a black line, Yu Liang's expression was quite normal, Qi Feng looked constipated, his left ear showed a little rose, and his right ear showed a little lake blue, Lu Xiaoyi suddenly felt bad, and when he got closer, it was really her and Xiaoding's little velvet flower, and she was used to plug her ears and eyes by this product!
"Madman, where did you get the velvet flowers!"
Qi Feng pretended not to hear it, Lu Xiaoyi was even more angry, and reached out to pluck the velvet flower in Qi Feng's ears, but he quickly dodged it, pointed at Xiao Geng and said, "Your brother gave it to me!" ”
Xiao Geng's eyes widened, "I'll only take you to find cotton balls, which are the velvet flowers you took yourself." ”
Lu Xiaoyi stretched out his hand to Qi Feng, but Qi Feng didn't give it, and begged: "Borrow me for a while, otherwise I will be nagged to death by them!" ”
Xiao Ding covered his mouth and smiled, "Sister, forget it, let's use it for Brother Feng!" I think he's suffering! ”
Qi Feng smiled gratefully at Xiao Ding, and then waved at Xiao Ding, "Thank you, sister Big Eye!" ”
Lu Xiaoyi snorted, turned his head and asked Yu Liang, "Brother Liang, I'll also find you two velvet flowers!" After speaking, he quickly ran into the bedroom and took out a basket of two velvet flowers from the sewing basket, this madman, why don't you take the same color, you have to pick one of the colors? Sure enough, you can't look at him with the eyes of a normal person!
Regardless of whether the surplus food is willing or not, Lu Xiaoyi has to stuff two velvet flowers into him, if someone is not present, she can't wait to help him stuff his ears and eyes in person.
Yu Liang shook his head again and again, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm not too noisy!" But seeing Lu Xiaoyi's longing eyes, he still tried to take a velvet flower and plug it in his ears and eyes, the kind of fluffy touch he obviously trembled, quickly took out the velvet flower, returned it to Lu Xiaoyi, and said with a red face: "It's too itchy!" ”
Lu Xiaoyi took the velvet flower, but what he thought in his heart was: Wow, Brother Liang's ears are so sensitive! I don't know what it looks like to blow into his ears and eyes? I'm sure I'm going to tremble even more! The more Lu Xiaoyi thought about it, the more evil he became, and even thought of the sentence: Little thing, you are provoking anger. If Brother Liang said this to her, Lu Xiaoyi shivered instantly, and then felt that the whole person was not good, so stop it quickly! This doesn't match Brother Liang's temperament, okay!
When he was distracted, Qi Feng jumped up, circled around Lu Xiaoyi and Yu Liang, and finally pointed to the two velvet flowers in Xiao Yi's hand, and complained: "Is there a case like you?" You will make a fuss when I stuff my ears, you don't want the grain to be given to him, you are too biased! ”
Lu Xiaoyi rolled his eyes at him, "I'm willing, can you handle it?" ”
Qi Feng angrily pulled out the two velvet flowers in his ears and threw them to Lu Xiaoyi together, "Tomboy, you are too much!" We're still not brothers! ”
Is it good that Lao Tzu is a woman? How to be a brother with you! Lu Xiaoyi vomited blood angrily, and he has always been a man-like existence in Qi Feng's brain, no, to be exact, he is a man through and through! (To be continued......)
