Li Ziyu took her younger siblings to have a simple breakfast. The brown rice porridge with salt was accompanied by mixed bread, and there was not much left roe deer meat, and the sisters ate sweet and satisfied. There is also a pot of sorghum rice on the table, which is left over from boiling rice soup. Li Ziyu plans to eat it again tomorrow, she hasn't eaten dry rice since she came here. After eating, let a few small ones in the yard and have fun for a while, and it is better for the children to have more activities. Xiao Wu ran around with two small yards, and it wasn't until he saw the sweat on their heads that Li Ziyu blasted them into the east house again. instructed Xiaowen to take care of them and close the door of the house. She and Xiaoshan came to the courtyard and waited for the people who would come to work later.

At the end of the day, the people who worked came one after another.

He Shigui arrived first with his two sons, Dashan and Dahai, and Li Ziyu and Xiaoshan hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Uncle Gui! Brother Dashan! Brother Dahai! ”

He Shigui smiled heartily: "Hey! Good girl, good boy, yes, there will be a promising child in the future. There was genuine concern in his voice.

Then, He Shixiang father and son, the old village chief father and son, Wang Ruiqing father and son, Wei Qibin father and son, Da Zhuang, Xiao Zhuang, Gazi, Fu Yunshan and several other half-sized sons also arrived one after another.

Li Ziyu and Xiaoshan also greeted each other one by one.

Everyone immediately began their own division of labor, and a group of people got busy in an orderly manner.

Wang Ruiqing took the two boys to the West House to build a kang, and Wang Chunqiu took Gazi and Xiaozhuangpan stove in the hall house. Wang Chungang took over his brother's work and took Da Zhuang and two boys to the river to pick up dirt. He Dahai still went to cut the thatch with Wei Qibin and his son. He Dasen and He Dashan took Fu Yunshan and the two boys to dismantle the wooden shelves in front and back of the West House, and then set up the wooden shelves in front of and behind the hall, and the wooden shelves after the building and demolition of the house were all taken out of the courtyard door and went around to the back of the house. He Shigui, He Shixiang, Zhao Zhenyou, and Zhao Zhenmin squatted in the courtyard to tie sorghum handles. There was not much thatch left in the morning, and it was soaked in a bucket by the old village chief.

Li Ziyu brushed the cauldron in the courtyard and added water. By boiling rice soup in the morning, she has memorized the ratio of rice to water. When the fire was lit, Xiaohua Niang, Xiaohua and Aunt Yang came over together.

"This kid, don't say wait for us, why do you do it yourself?" Xiaohuaniang came up and squeezed Li Ziyu aside, "Go ahead, look at what they lack in their work, you don't need you here." Aunt Yang smiled and took over the conversation: "It's not what's wrong, how can you use such a little work, you and Xiaohua just look at it." As he spoke, his hand did not stop, and after a while, he took out the rice and put it in the pot, stirring it with a rice spoon. It's neat, and it's not admirable.

Xiaohua took Li Ziyu's hand and grinned: "Okay! It's not good for someone to help you, let's see who builds a house. ”

Li Ziyu let Xiaohua pull her into the West House. In the west room, Wang Ruiqing was building a kang, and Li Ziyu didn't understand it after watching it for a long time. Then he saw the adobe bricks flying up and down in his hand, and after a while the soil was dry, and the mud was at a moment, and half of the kang was laid out like that. It's really a folk everywhere, don't underestimate anyone, even a beggar may be a master. Li Ziyu sighed and came out of the West House, seeing that the progress of the hall was not slow. is so good at kung fu, He Shigui and He Shixiang have already gone to the roof and started to tie sorghum handles. The rice soup outside has long been boiled, the mud mixed with the rice soup has long been put on the wooden shelf, and the cut thatch has been soaked and soaked. According to this progress, the West Inghouse kang will be set up early today, and the roof of the hall can be paved. Li Ziyu had a bottom in her heart, and there was a smile on her inexplicable face. When I looked up and saw Xiaoshan, my childish face was as serious as it had never been.

At this time, Xiaoshan was standing on the wooden shelf, staring at the roof of He Shixiang's shop, remembering all the details. Somehow he just wanted to remember, as if he really needed it later.

Li Ziyu nodded, the second brother is so good, he can collapse his heart in anything, and it is really reassuring to be serious. When I turned my head, I saw Xiaohua missing, but I heard the sound of Xiaohua laughing with people outside. It stands to reason that Xiaohua and Li Ziyu have reached the age of avoiding suspicion. But Li Ziyu has no choice, she has to go out and deal with people. And Xiaohua is old and young at home, and the family is spoiled, plus this is a small ravine and is not so particular, so no one says anything.

Li Ziyu saw that there was nothing wrong and entered the east room, but she didn't expect the three little ones to fall asleep. Xiaowen was probably afraid of the cold kang, and the two small ones were put on his lap one by one. Xiao Wu slept next to his brother Zhengxiang, and his saliva was dripping down.

Li Ziyu looked a little sour. Xiaowen is only seven years old, but he is the most sensible, considerate, careful, and empathetic, so that she often ignores his age.

When Xiaowen saw his sister come in, he smiled embarrassedly and whispered: "Sister, after eating, Xiaohu and Xiaolan were sleepy, and then Xiaowu also slept." ”

Li Ziyu nodded at him soothingly, and whispered, "Put it down, the fire was burned this morning, and the kang is not cold." After speaking, he opened the wooden box, took out the newly bought quilt, spread it on the kang, and put the pillow. Hold Xiao Wu over first, and then put Xiaohu and Xiaolan in turn. The kang quilt was big enough that the three children only lay on one side, and the other side was just covered for them. Then he whispered, "Lie down and watch them." Don't worry outside, there's me and your second brother. "Sister, I'm not sleepy." Xiaowen was embarrassed to declare. Why is he too embarrassed to sleep? My sister and second brother are outside, and the house is being repaired.

Li Ziyu saw that he insisted, so it was up to him. When I came out and closed the door, I saw that the pot table in the West House was almost set up, and suddenly remembered one thing and forgot to buy the pot. Hurriedly walked to the yard and said to He Dashan, who was shoveling mud, "Brother Dashan, can you spare your hands?" ”

He Dashan looked at her and asked, "What's wrong?" Something? If you can free it up, it's not a big deal now. ”

Li Ziyu said anxiously: "Come with me to the city, I forgot to buy a pot, I have to buy two pots." ”

"Okay, I'll go talk to my dad." He Dashan poked the shovel in his hand to the side as he spoke, and then raised his neck and shouted, "Dad, Xiaoyu and I went to the city to buy a pot?" ”

"Go ahead and catch the car slowly." He Shigui's voice came from the room.

As soon as he heard that he was going to the city to buy something, Xiaoshan jumped down from the wooden shelf and said, "Sister, you are at home, or I should go." ”

Li Ziyu didn't agree, she looked at Xiaohua Niang, Aunt Yang and Xiaohua in the yard and said, "Uncle Niang, Aunt Yang and Xiaohua, if there is anything at home, you look at it thoroughly, please please." Then he said to Xiaoshan, "You don't know where to buy it, and you don't know the price, so I'll go." At home, you listen to the elders more, even if there is anything really going on, wait for me to come back. ”

At this time, Zhao Qing, who was behind the house, walked in from the courtyard gate and asked, "What's wrong, you want to enter the city?" ”

Li Ziyu repeated it again, and said, "Grandpa, you take care of it more at home." ”

"Okay, don't worry."

Li Ziyu got into the ox cart in a hurry, and He Dashan carefully drove down the hillside, and hurried all the way to the city with a whip. The snow on the road is still thick, and there are also messy rut marks, which is very difficult to walk. He Dashan has a lot of experience in driving cars, and he walks fast and steadily. When he dared to go to the city, the cow was already tired and sweating, which made Li Ziyu very unhappy.

Li Ziyu commanded and went directly to the "hometown grocery store". The guy in the shop was still the same guy, and when he saw Li Ziyu coming in, he hurriedly greeted him enthusiastically: "Little girl, what do you want to buy this time?" ”

Li Ziyu smiled sweetly: "Little second brother, do you have an iron pot here?" ”
