Chapter 157
Liang's new house is finally built!
As soon as the news came out, all the people in the village were excited and took turns to visit. Lin Qingqing is no exception, in fact, she is more excited than anyone else.
The first night the house was built, not so many people in the village knew about it. Lin Qingqing stood at the door of the newly built brick house with her little cub in her arms, looking at the pattern similar to the northern houses, tears flowed down!
She's homesick!
I want to think of the ordinary and ordinary home, but it makes her feel happy and warm! Miss her mom and dad, miss her brother! I don't know how they spent her absence, and her father, who didn't go to the grave to kowtow to him and burn paper on Qingming Eleven, and I don't know if he will complain about his daughter's unfilial piety......
Tears blurred her eyes, Lin Qingqing buried her head in the little cub, and was sad, when her shoulders were hugged. Ling lowered his head and kissed her on the side of the cheek, and said softly, "Okay, don't cry, the little cub is going to laugh at you." β
"I didn't cry." Lin Qingqing said sullenly, there was still a hint of crying in her soft and glutinous voice, but she said stubbornly, "It's obviously in the sand!" β
"Yes, we didn't cry." Ling hugged her, half pity and half firmness. It's such a clichΓ© lie, but it makes people feel sad.
And Ling himself was also reminded of nostalgia and longing by Lin Qingqing. He is the only son in the family, and once something happens, I don't know if the old man and the old lady of his family can stand it. Alas, now I just hope that they can think of it, and it would be better if they could have another Chenghuan knee!
Anyway, both of them are well maintained, and his father is in the prime of life. It shouldn't be difficult to get his mother to have a pearl.
Lin Qingqing held the little cub in Ling's arms, and the two of them quietly did not speak, both of them were sad that the world was impermanent, and it was difficult to return home. Coldly, the little cub in her arms kicked her vigorously, and the little finger pointed to the new house in front of her and babbled, "Let's go...... Walk ......."
There was a dull pain in the lower abdomen, Lin Qingqing snorted, opened his mouth and bit the little cub's finger, grinding it lightly. "You little villain. It's a lot of strength! β
Ling chuckled a few times, took the little cub from Lin Qingqing's arms, and said as he walked, "Let's go, let's go in and have a look." What did the first brick house in the primitive world look like! β
"Hmm." Lin Qingqing nodded. He walked in after Ling.
The houses were basically built with reference to the northern dwellings. There are three main houses facing north and south, and the middle is used as a stove room, and two stoves are built against the north wall. The left and right rooms are bedrooms, one for Liang and Bei, and one for their future children.
Because Liang and Bei haven't moved in yet, the room is empty and there is nothing. Lin Qingqing stretched out his hand and rubbed the blue brick wall, and said: "It would be more perfect if you put another earthen kang, not to mention how comfortable it is to lie on the burning earthen kang in winter!" β
Ling reached out and touched her head, and teased: "Do you have to press a few more transparent glass windows, lying in the hot quilt in winter, looking at the snowflakes outside through the window, and feeling beautiful?" β
"Yes, yes!" Lin Qingqing nodded vigorously and responded, "Husband, you really know what I think." This house is well built, I want to live in it. β
Ling glanced at Lin Qingqing, for fear that she would come to the real thing, so he hurriedly said: "No, wife, you can't be an authentic person." Liang and Bei have been looking forward to this house for so long, and they are about to get sick. You can't grab it, it's a big deal that the next house will be built for us first! β
Saying that, Ling couldn't help but sigh: "Actually, we all miscalculated!" This first brick house is of epochal significance, and it is supposed to be built into a meeting room in the village, or a place of worship, and usually used as a wooden clinic. But now ......" Ling shook his head and sighed.
Thanks to Liang Tiansheng, he was born small and was destined not to become the village chief, and Bei was a foreign woman, so he hadn't won everyone's trust yet. Otherwise, this first brick house was given to Liang and Bei, instead of him and Qingqing, maybe there would be a mess again!
Lin Qingqing thought so.
Don't think that the natives don't know how to play tricks, think that those eight-foot-tall men are all frank and straightforward, straight to the point!
Phew! It's all a lie!
Otherwise, when Lin Qingqing and Ling were together, why did so many people crusade against themselves?
Reluctantly leaving Liang's brick house, Lin Qingqing pulled Ling's arm and said coquettishly: "Husband, what's going on with you studying the soil kang?" After researching, let's build a brick house! β
Ling chuckled and nodded, "Okay, when I study the unearthed kang, let's build a new house." At that time, the houses of the people in the village were built, and there were people who had the time to build whatever they wanted! β
"Hmm." Lin Qingqing nodded beautifully, her little face was full of happiness, and she said longingly, "I don't toss, I just want to sit in a small courtyard, build a grape trellis in the yard, and plant a row of bamboo, well, you can also plant a few vegetable seedlings under the window." Then I'll be satisfied. β
Because the supply of bricks is in short supply at this stage, Liang's house has no yard, only three main houses are alone there, and his good brother has built a straw shed next to it. And if he wants a yard, he has to surround it himself.
As a northerner, Lin Qingqing really can't stand a house without a yard, and always feels weird. So she thought that she could build a courtyard house of her own in the primitive world!
The little couple and a little cub sweetly imagined a better future, and unexpectedly, two people broke into the house.
Lin Qingqing exclaimed in surprise and buried her head in the animal skin quilt in shame. And Ling got out of bed calmly, tidied up the messy animal skins on his body, and then said to the two of them with a cold face: "Is there any big thing to come over at this time?" "The underlying meaning is obvious, you're dead without a big deal!
Liang took Bei's hand and walked a few steps forward, sat down at the table generously, and said seriously: "We came this time to discuss with you about changing houses." β
"What?" Ling's brows furrowed, a little unsure of what Liang meant.
Liang squeezed Bei's palm and said to Ling, "I mean, you and Qingqing go to live in my freshly built house. Bey and I moved to live with you. Let's change the house. β
"Why?" Ling looked at Liang puzzled and asked, "Do you dislike brick houses, or do you think that the houses are not built to your liking?" If you don't like it, you can change it. β
Liang hurriedly shook his head, waved his hand and said, "Neither." The new house is so good, I am quite satisfied and like it. It's that Bedou and I felt that we shouldn't be the first people to live in this new house. β
"Logically. You are the village chief. Obedient is a wise man. Liang carefully analyzed, "This house should be for you to live in!" β
Ling laughed dumbly.
Sure enough, there are no fools in the world, and it is the same in all ages.
Ling shook his head and said with a smile: "Qingqing and I want to live in a brick house. When can't you cover it? It's you. I'm going to be with Bei this year. What if you don't have a solid house? Even if you don't mind, you have to think about Bey. The women of the Sea Clan are still on the other side of the station, when you and Bei were together. They're coming......"
"When the time comes, you can't say that Bei has found a useless man, and he can't even afford a good house, right?" Lin Qingqing calmed down, covered the shame on his face, and said, "You, as a man, you have to think about women!" β
Ling's words made Liang Man's face flush, and he glanced at Bei guiltily, and then pulled her and ran away!
The next day, word spread that the new house had been built, and everyone in the village came running. As soon as there was a big movement, the people in the Sea Tribe's station and the next village knew about it. They all left their guys at hand to see the magical new house.
Now the people in the two villages know that the bricks are fired from the clay kiln, using the same soil as the pottery, and unconsciously, they bring a magical and precious aura to the bricks!
Now such a rare thing is actually used to build a house, because everyone wants to come and see it, and after reading it, they will feel at ease, knowing that what Ling said before is just a lie.
Lin Qingqing carried the wooden pier and sat at the door of the house with the little cub in his arms, watching the people on the opposite side with great interest, and from time to time he took out a few pieces of jerky from the blanket around the cub's waist and chewed them. Sometimes, I tear a few pieces by hand and stuff them in the cub's mouth to taste the taste.
Ever since the little cub lived in Lin Qingqing's house, his recipes have been enriched. In addition to the rice cereal that is routinely drunk, there is also the egg custard cooked by Lin Qingqing himself, and Ling chops the stewed meat puree. And Lin Qingqing also found that after having the meat puree, the other delicious things are all floating clouds!
The little cub has successfully made pureed meat his first staple food.
Since signing the agreement with Ying and knowing that their village is rich in clay mines, Lin Qingqing and Ling have discussed increasing the supervision and preventive measures on the side of the earthen kiln.
In fact, Ling has always been worried that the eagle has found a large amount of clay, and maybe he will open a kiln to burn bricks by himself. Even if you can't learn how to burn bricks, you might be able to use clay to pinch them!
If that's the case, the supply of raw materials is cut off, and Ling really doesn't know what to do?
The success of the new house has brought motivation to the people of both villages to work hard, and they feel that they have the motivation to work hard! In this way, the charcoal-burning bricks are speeding up, waiting for them to be lined up quickly and build a new house to live in.
A month later, most of the houseless people in the village had moved into brand new brick houses, smiling every day when they went out. It's just that although this thing is happy, it's not too public! You must know that there are many people who are jealous of their first batch of new houses, and maybe they will be plotted by accident on the way!
The house in the village was built, and according to the agreement, Ling packed up two thousand bricks, and let the men in the village stack them neatly in the basket, and then picked two baskets for one person, plus two or three good people who built the house, and just walked to the next village.
When their village needed help in front of them, the eagle led the people to be busy. Now that it's the turn of the eagle, Ling's side will naturally not be perfunctory!
As soon as they entered the territory of the next village, Ling and his party raised their minds and carefully scanned the location of the clay mine. But Sunnyima, finch you out!
What are you saying that you are all over the ground? Why did labor and management look at it for so long, and they didn't see anything!
Ling Chongmu whispered, "I can't find the clay, it is estimated that the eagle has hidden it." Maybe where it is hidden, at that time, the finch said that the clay is in the south of the village, or a large area. We came from the south, but we didn't see anything! β
Mu touched his chin and thought for a while, and said, "You say, will they finish digging up the clay on the ground, and then cover it with ordinary mud and pretend that there is no clay?" β
Ling's eyes lit up suddenly, and he nodded, "Very likely!" He beckoned to Liang, whispered his and Mu's guesses, and then asked Liang to find an opportunity to explore the area.
The eagle is more guarded than he is to man, and there are people moving on this large open land in the south. He was embarrassed to get closer, grab a handful of dirt, and look at it.
Not long after the group left, Eagle received the news and came to greet them. Several men behind him took the initiative to take over the burden on the people on Ling's side, and then walked towards the village while chatting.
The eagle patted Ling's arm, smiled and said loudly, "Village Chief Ling, you must have eaten here today before leaving!" The women of the village have already prepared it, and the meat is all fresh from the hunt today. β
Ling didn't shirk either, smiled and nodded in response: "Okay, as long as the Eagle Village Chief is not annoying, it doesn't matter if I stay for a few more days." As he spoke, Ling opened his mouth and asked, "I don't know where the clay in the village is, Village Chief Ying, can I go and have a look?" β
"I heard a wise man say that the location of this mineral deposit is well-founded and characteristic. I thought that since the Eagle Village Chief had opened a clay mine here, I wanted to go and see if there was anything special about it. Then I went back and looked for the clay we had over there, according to this special place. β
There was only one hill across the hill in total, and it made no sense that there was a lot of clay on the eagle's side and nothing on their side.
Ying thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, let's take a look later." Village Chief Ling was generous to me, and the earthen kiln was also for me to see, so I can't be stingy now......"
What's more, he had been prepared for a long time.
After removing the bricks, one of them took a sip of water to moisten their throats, and Ling told the men in the village to find a place to rest for a while, while he and Mu went to see the clay mine here.
The eagle led the two of them north for a while, and did not stop until they reached the foot of the mountain, pointed to a newly dug large pit, and said, "Look, this is the clay mine in our village. There's a small piece of land next to it, and I dug it up from what I sent to you the other day. β
As he spoke, Ying explained with some sternness: "It was my brother who said a big word that day, and it wasn't all over the ground at all. If that's the case, there will be more places for our two villages to cooperate. It's a pity that I found these. I don't know if I'll be able to dig any further ......."
Ling and Mu glanced at each other, and said in their hearts: "Pretend again!" (To be continued......)
