Xiao Ding said: "Xiao Ji, have you seen that person?" ”

Ji Luo covered her mouth and smiled, and nodded hurriedly, "That cousin brought her son under the pretext of going to relatives, and they were talking in the hall at that time, I looked through the crack in the door, and when I remembered the appearance, I hurried to describe it to the eldest sister." ”

Xiao Ding was curious: "What does it look like?" ”

Jiluo thought for a moment, "It's kind of like a dog." ”

Lu Xiaoyi's mind immediately appeared in the appearance of the dog dan'er hanging snot, the two thick snots left a deep impression on her, fortunately, he has become clean and clean after reading for a year, and now the dog Dan'er looks Zhouzheng, and he is also a handsome little boy.

Lu Xiaoyi said: "Cousin, does she agree?" ”

"What if the eldest sister says that she doesn't agree, her life is up to her." Ji Luo said helplessly, "The eldest sister has worked hard this year, and the changes are quite big, I have eaten more than before, the skin on my face has darkened, my hands have grown calluses, my cheeks have begun to flush, and I have gained some weight." ”

Xiao Ding also said: "My cousin looks more energetic than before, and she is stronger." ”

Ji Luo was a little sad, "I also said that the eldest sister is energetic, but she is not happy, and she doesn't like to talk in front of her family, I tease her, and she doesn't pay attention to me." ”

Lu Xiaoyi knew that the most unacceptable thing about Jia Wei's eldest lady's heart was that her skin was thick and dark, and her body became stronger, but there was a lot of physical labor, and these changes in her body were inevitable, and she didn't know when she would be able to adjust her mentality, stop having those ethereal dreams, and seeing Ji Luo's sad face, she comforted: "Little self." My cousin has her own ideas, she can't accept that it's just temporary, and now the family that her great-grandmother found for her is very good, and it's still a relative, and my cousin will have a better life in the future. ”

Ji Luo said worriedly: "Great-grandmother told that cousin, the eldest sister who used to live in the city has been pampered, and now she has just learned to do farm work, and there are still many deficiencies...... The eldest sister will not have a good life in the future. ”

Xiao Yi smiled: "Don't worry." Great-grandmother has made it clear. If that cousin is smart, she will definitely say: In the future, when Jia Wei marries, I will definitely treat her as my own girl. ”

Ji Luo's eyes widened and she said in surprise: "Cousin." How do you know? ”

Lu Xiaoyi laughed. "I guessed!" He said to Ji Luo again: "My cousin is about to get married in half a year." If you spend more time with her, there will be fewer days when you see each other in the future. ”

Ji Luo nodded, got up and said, "Hmm." I'm going back, and even if she ignores me, I'll rely on her to talk. ”

After Jiluo left, Xiaoyi Xiaoding talked for a while, until Yulan came in with a bowl of poached eggs in sugar water, Lu Xiaoyi felt as if she was in confinement, brown sugar water and poached eggs were inseparable, but fortunately, the dull pain in the lower abdomen had faded, but she felt no energy.

The next few days were normal and unfeeling, and by the tenth day the head was clean.

Yulan had already prepared a large bucket of warm water for her, and Lu Xiaoyi scrubbed it comfortably, and then changed into a summer dress refreshed, like a rebirth, and began the life journey of the eldest girl.

The next thing is to move, all say that the poor family is worth ten thousand, looking at the three small rooms, the bits and pieces have been moved for several days, the backyard stove room and the two naan pits are within the scope of the new homestead, which will be demolished together, and the Lu family's scone business had to be suspended during the construction of the new house.

Yulan asked Lu Xiaoyi: "Does the Liangzi family still have that kind of white soil?" If it's gone, you'll have to trouble Qishan and them to help. ”

Lu Xiaoyi thought for a while, "It's okay to build one, it's not enough to build two!" ”

Yulan said: "Don't build a big one, it's appropriate to be smaller, and don't want the part below the ground." ”

"Why?"

"Half of our baking pit is underground and half is on the ground, and when we paste the cakes, we bend down and work hard, and the pit wall below is not used at all." Yulan glanced at her, "You are a young girl with a soft waist, and your Aunt Hua and I are too old to stand it, I am thinking about changing the fire pit, don't go to the underground part, and build the platform on the ground higher, so that you don't have to bend too much, saving time and effort!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi scratched his head, feeling that what Yulan said made sense, "Mother, when Brother Liang got this method, it was also hearsay from his father's dart, if you haven't seen the real thing, you can only rely on your feelings, if you think it's not suitable, just change it appropriately, in short, how to come easily!" ”

Yulan said: "Well, let's talk about it after the new house is built!" ”

It was the beginning of June after moving, and the auspicious day set by Mr. Zhou was June 6, but who expected that the weather would not be beautiful on June 3, and it would rain.

On the 4th of June, it rained lightly.

On June 5, it was drizzling.

Lu Zhong was in a hurry, the craftsman he had made an appointment with would come tomorrow, and the helpers in the village had also been invited, who expected that the rain would not stop when it started.

Yulan complained: "Is this feng shui gentleman dizzy? Look at the good days he sees, not to mention the delay for half a year, it's still a rainy day, how can we start work? ”

Lu Zhong also held his breath in his heart, frowned and did not speak.

Lu Xiaoyi persuaded Yulan: "Mother, Mr. Feng Shui is not the Dragon King, how does he know which day it rains and which day it doesn't rain?" ”

Lu Zhong got up and said, "Mr. Zhou said that June 6 is a good day, so we have to believe him!" Regardless of whether it rains tomorrow or not, I will pick him up early, and we will start work in the rain. After speaking, Lu Zhong went to the main room to discuss with Lu Shouzeng.

In the evening of the same day, the light rain stopped, and after dinner, a strong wind blew again, Lu Xiaoyi lay on the kang and listened to the whining of the wind between heaven and earth, and occasionally there was the sound of snapping branches breaking, and the sound of small pebbles and small branches being blown up by the wind and hitting the roof tiles.

The wind was very strong, and Lu Xiaoyi would normally feel frightened, but tonight she felt happy, because the wind could blow away the rain clouds and dry the moisture of the past few days.

Su Qing on the side muttered, "Ming'er must be a good weather." ”

Now that Xiaoyi Xiaoding has moved in to live with Su Qing, Lu Xiaoyi heard that Su Qing was also so sure, and sat up excitedly: "Aunt Qing, do you also think that tomorrow will be good weather?" ”

"Well, the wind blows the clouds away. The sky will be clear. ”

Lu Xiaoyi lay down again and said to himself: "In this way, that feng shui gentleman still has some Taoism. Thinking so, she unconsciously sank into a dream, dreaming of an old man with a white beard chasing her with a peachwood sword, and she hid all night, until the rooster crowed, she woke up from the dream, touched her hair, and was already wet with sweat. Lu Xiaoyi muttered in a low voice: "I think about it day and dream night." After all, there are some things that can't be solved. ”

At this time, there is no more whimpering wind, but a summer morning scene, and the bird has woken up. Spread your wings and chirp; The chickens have woken up. Singing with the neck in the neck; Man has woken up. Dress up in the mirror, put on and go out, and see the clouds and clouds in the east sky. A red sun sneaks through the clouds, occasionally passing through the cracks in the clouds and casting a thousand golden rays.

What a good day!

Lu Xiaoyi stretched out his arm and made a big stretch, Xiao Geng had already come out of the main house, now he had pulled out his height, the small flesh ball on his cheeks was much smaller, holding a book in his hand, ready to stand in the courtyard and read aloud.

Lu Shouzeng and Lu Pozi then came out of the main room, and their first reaction was to sigh that the weather was good.

Mrs. Lu said: "Yesterday I scolded that old god stick, but it seems that I don't need to scold today!" ”

Lu Shouzeng glanced at her and dropped a sentence: "Take care of your mouth!" So he went to clean the yard with a broom.

Lu Zhong fed the donkey and hurriedly went to pick up Mr. Feng Shui, he was indispensable for today's work, Yulan and Wang Dongmei went to the backyard to make breakfast, and now the family is crowded together, and the meals are eaten together.

When Lu Zhong came back, he brought back the white-haired Mr. Feng Shui, and Yulan cooked a bowl of soft egg flower noodles for this old Mr. Zhou, put lard and sprinkled with chopped chives and fine salt.

Mr. Zhou is old and has bad teeth, and now he eats a bowl of thin and soft soup noodles, with egg flower lard and chives, which is very much to his liking, not only eats up the noodles, but also drinks the noodle soup clean.

Because of the sudden good weather on June 6, the Lu family was very respectful to Mr. Zhou, to be precise, it should be convinced and in awe. Even Lu Xiaoyi deliberately avoided him, but he was curious about him, hiding in the dark and silently observing this person.

I saw that this old gentleman Zhou was thin and rickety, with a gray straight robe on his bones, a peach wood crutch, a loose small bun on his head, a shiny peach hairpin obliquely inserted, and the white hair hanging down behind his ears and neck was mixed with a gray beard, which was quite a bit of fairy wind bones, and his wrinkled forehead and eye corners could not hide the clear gaze under his eyes, and he looked very energetic.

Perhaps sensing Lu Xiaoyi's gaze, Mr. Zhou looked at Lu Xiaoyi's hiding place, and Lu Xiaoyi was so frightened that he quickly hid deeper.

Mr. Zhou stroked his beard and smiled, and said to Lu Zhong: "The hour is auspicious, and the craftsmen and helpers are here!" ”

Lu Zhong said respectfully: "I'm here, I'm drinking tea and resting in the hall on the other side of the East House, waiting for you to arrange it!" ”

Mr. Zhou got up and asked Lu Zhong to help him out, the Lu family followed closely, and Lu Xiaoyi walked at the rear. Many people in the village who watched the excitement also came, and they flocked to the courtyard to watch the groundbreaking ceremony. The people who drank tea in the East House also came out, and many craftsmen were familiar with Mr. Zhou, and they all bowed their hands.

Mr. Zhou waved his hand, everyone quieted down, only to see him take out a small compass from his arms, slowly rotated, and looked around at the layout of the direction, slowly walked to a position outside the east courtyard wall, and vigorously put the crutches in his hand to the middle, and the crutches were inserted in the mud at the straight end, only to hear Mr. Zhou take out a small box, open it and take out a piece of rune paper, take it out and hold it up to the air and shake it twice, the rune paper quickly burned, instantly turned into some gray floating ash, only to listen to Mr. Zhou chanting in a low and hoarse voice.

Lu Xiaoyi was far away, and only vaguely heard some things such as: Left Green Dragon, Right White Tiger... Mountain management people, water management... There is a green dragon on the left to donate money... There is a white tiger on the right and turns over... The new house is located here... The blessed land will eventually be occupied by the blessed... Youzi must read the book... When you grow up, you must be a high-ranking official

The more Mr. Zhou reads, the more vague he becomes, and his voice becomes smaller and smaller, and when he finishes reading, he pulls out the peach wood staff in his hand, turns around and tells the master stonemason the exact location of the homestead, and sets the specific time of the cornerstone, as well as some sacrificial materials such as incense, wax, paper, cinnabar, realgar, and tribute that need to be prepared when the cornerstone.

The master stonemason is also an experienced person, and when he heard what Mr. Song said, his heart suddenly became clear, and he shouted at the auspicious time: "Start work!" The other stonemasons also shouted in response, and the atmosphere of the onlookers was aroused, and the men who came to help in the village were even more gearing up, and they began to demolish the old houses.

Lu Xiaoyi watched the three old houses he had lived in for several years being demolished, and a sour feeling of reluctance swelled in his heart, and then looking at the expressions of the rest of the Lu family, it was also complicated. (To be continued.) )
