Chapter 95: Building a House

When she said this, she suddenly said something that she shouldn't have said, her face turned a little red, and she said sneeringly: "Ran'er, I said nonsense, don't tell others." ”

How can a daughter-in-law talk about her father-in-law and mother-in-law behind her back, it is possible for such an unfilial daughter-in-law to divorce her.

Thinking of this, her face turned white again.

Li Xiaoran simply pretended not to understand what she said, just stared at the ants under the trees in the yard and shouted, "Third aunt, look, there are so many ants!" ”

Qian breathed a long sigh of relief, sighing and laughing, no matter how smart Ran Er is, she is only five years old, how can she understand everything!

The chicks Li Xiaoran bought have grown very big, they were still small when they were just bought, Fu put the chicks into the house at night, raised them for a few days, and after the chicks' fluff stiffened and grew wings, she asked Li Yihe to build a chicken coop with wood in the open space and raise the chicks in the open space. During the day, Li Xiaoran and Li Xuesi would pick wild vegetables and dig earthworms to feed the chickens in the open field. At night, they put the chicks into the chicken coop, lock the chicken coop, and put a wooden fence half a meter away from the outside, for fear that a wild beast will come to harm the chicks at night.

And the seeds she bought before, plus all kinds of seeds that Li Yihe bought for her, were planted in the woods by her. Except for the time when she first planted it, she combed it with her vitality to ensure that the seeds germinated and survived, and the rest of the time she didn't care.

It's a watermelon in the sand, she will go over to take a look every few days, but it's just to see, the watermelon grows well, but if it exceeds the norm, it's not good or bad. She firmly guarded this degree, and Li Yihe looked at her very closely, for fear that she would be happy to add "materials" to those flowers, grasses, medicines, and trees.

When the work in the field came to an end in May, and the big guys had time, Li Yihe bought stones and wood. In addition to the bricks and tiles I bought before, I found a few brothers with good relationships to dig sand in the river, and prepared to build a new house in the vacant land.

I invited the master of the town to build a new house. Master Fang took two primary school apprentices, came over to take a look first, and when he saw the drawings drawn by Li Xiaoran, Master Fang was full of praise.

A simple two-entry courtyard, with wings on the east and west sides. It's just that the house in the back is a little farther away from the front.

The structure of the house has been modified according to the habits of the locals. The bright room is used for people, and the dark room is used for kitchens, warehouses, etc.

As soon as you enter, there is a hall. There are two bright rooms on the left and right sides, and the room of Li Yihe and his wife is on the east side, which is two suites inside and outside; The Li brothers' room was larger and located on the west side of the hall. There is a wall of fire in the middle of the hall as a partition. Behind the fire wall is a stove room, where the fire heats the rooms.

Li Xiaoran's room leads from the kang room to the west of the small corridor. On the west side of the brothers' room, there are two rooms, one bright and one dark, the bright room is used as a bedroom, and the dark room is used as a study room as a small living room.

What surprised Master Fang was. Each room has a fire wall and a fire kang, and this fire kang is not a fire kang in the traditional sense, but a floor that covers the entire room. In this way, it is a foot higher than the ground outside.

In fact, Li Xiaoran wants to make it geothermal. Lay the pipes into the ground, and when the time comes, the house will be very warm, much warmer than just burning the walls and the kang. The difference between the two is that one is living in a building and the other is living in a bungalow.

But she asked for a long time, there is no iron pipe that can be made into pipes in this place, iron is a pipe product, and even the production of farm tools and pots has strict requirements, let alone want to make pipes.

Not to mention that the problem of rust could not be dealt with, and she thought of using porcelain, but the craftsmanship here could not be achieved, so she had to retreat to the next best thing, and thought of changing the floor of the whole house to the kind of big kang in the north.

Wouldn't it be warmer in the house?

But she didn't understand the doorway here, so she simply drew it, and told Li Yihe to discuss and study it with the masters. Li Yihe invited the best master Lao in these ten miles and eight townships who specialize in panning fire kang, discussed with Master Fang for a long time, and put forward some rectification suggestions, and then determined the specific operation method.

Building a house is a big deal, relatives and friends will come to help, and the main family has to take care of two meals a day.

Li Yihe lived in Ye Changsheng's house, although Hua said that they would cook at home, but after thinking about it, he still felt that it was inappropriate.

The size of the house is not inferior to the Ye family, and more importantly, he has to build a wall, and this wall alone is afraid that it will take a while.

He is not afraid of spending money, his daughter's safety is important, he has already thought about it, to enclose this forest, the wooden fence does not block things, that is to prevent the gentleman from the villain, he wants to build a stone wall, and to build a two-zhang high wall, put some sharp stones on it, so as not to be watched.

He thought about it, his daughter's supernatural powers couldn't be forbidden for her to use, and the southern fruit cores, seeds and medicinal herbs she bought couldn't be planted at all, so he could only do his best not to expose this kind of divine power, and protect her as much as possible.

The construction period was long, and it was not suitable to cook in the Ye family, so in the end he decided to build a board shed on the vacant land, build a pot stove in it, find someone to get four vegetable piers, and went to the town to buy a set of pots and pans, the iron pot is large, and took one of the Ye family's pots for temporary use.

chose an auspicious day to start construction, in addition to Master Fang's master and apprentice, he also found more than a dozen villagers who were close to him to help, and agreed to give 30 yuan a day and manage two meals. This condition is already very good in the village, and it is according to the Ye family to build a new house.

The villagers who were not greeted were very red-eyed, so they came over and took a turn when they were fine, hoping that Li Yihe would not save face, and he could beckon them to come and work together, but if they didn't greet them, it would be lively when there were more people.

Li Xuefeng's brothers also took leave to come back, and building a house at home is a big deal, and even Li Yihai and his wife took leave to come over to help.

Among the women, because Fu was pregnant, Hua and Qian were the mainstays, and they called several women who had a good relationship, quick hands and feet, and cooked delicious food to come over to help.

Li Yihe went to the town to buy meat the first day, and ordered meat from the Zhu butcher for daily use, in addition to meat, elbows, intestines, pork belly, liver, heart, pork kidneys and pig heads. These meats are cheaper than the front trough and back of the pig, and in the eyes of the rich, they are the food of the untouchables.

But these cheap meats, after all, are also meat, and they are not something that can be eaten by the villagers, and it is more than three or two times a year. Many families like to buy these when they build a house, but no other family buys as much as Li Yihe.

The town is far away, and it is impossible to go over to get meat every day, Li Yihe ordered it for three days, so he naturally ordered more. Buy it and take it home and pack it up, smear it with salt and marinate it, and put it in a shady place in the forest, where it can be kept for a few days without spoiling.

As for vegetables, this season, side dishes such as lettuce, coriander, spinach, rape and chrysanthemum can already be eaten, and so much meat, paired with greens, will definitely be very popular.

On the morning of the start of work, all the women who came to help arrived, and the people who came came to make a flower, and they were about the same age as Fu's. Everyone is from a poor background, and after coming over, they all start to move, choosing vegetables, washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, cleaning up pigs' heads and pigs, busy and orderly.

What to cook is discussed by Fu and Hua before, which can not only make the big guy eat well, but also not feel exaggerated and wasteful, it takes a lot of effort.

Fu Shi couldn't do any heavy work, just worked on the side, looked at the sun overhead, the roasting people's hearts were burned, she simply went back to Ye's house, boiled a large pot of boiling water, put the tea leaves in, and prepared to let it cool for everyone to drink to quench their thirst. The villagers usually don't drink tea, they can't afford it, and they don't understand it.

Li Yihe bought not a good tea, the taste is a little bitter, but some can be drunk, even if it is well water, the big guy will be very happy to drink it at the moment, and after doing half a noon work, drink saliva and take a rest, no one will be picky.

Fu put the tea leaves and put the water into the bucket, there was no big kettle at home, and the small kettle could not hold much water, so he simply used the bucket. called her daughter to come and watch, and she went back to the construction site behind.

After a while, Li Xiaoran saw that the water was almost dry, and went out to call the two brothers over, Li Xuefeng and Li Xuejian found a flat pole, one on each side, and picked up a bucket and went to the back.

"Uncles, come and drink saliva and rest, there is tea in this water, my father bought it in the town."

Li Xuewu also came to help, and he carried a basket behind him, in which he put a large bowl of coarse porcelain.

Jiang Zhifa, who came to help, was a rough man, he wiped the sweat on his face with his sleeve, walked over and took the bowl, drank it in one gulp, wiped his mouth and praised: "It's really good, it's much better than white water, but it's a little bitter." ”

Everyone laughed, and Jiang Zhicheng, another family member, also came over to drink the bowl, and said with a smile: "What you said is really right, this tea is really bitter, and it's strange, how can those rich people be willing to drink this bitter thing." ”

Everyone gathered around, drinking water and resting and gossiping.

Jiang Zhifa shouted: "Xuefeng, go and sue your mother, don't put tea in the afternoon, we rough people are blind to drink." ”

Li Yihe held the bowl and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to give the brothers some tea to express my heart, since the big guy doesn't like it, then drink sugar water, drink some sugar water this day to avoid heat stroke." ”

Jiang Zhifa was very embarrassed when he heard this, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, Brother Yihe doesn't have to be so polite, this is very good." ”

Whether it is sugar or tea, it is very expensive, and many people are willing to make a cup of sugar water to entertain guests. There are so many of them working, if they really put white sugar, how much will it take, he secretly annoyed that he couldn't talk but his brain.

Jiang Zhicheng waved his hand and patted him on the head, and said to Li Yihe: "You don't need to put any sugar, we are all poor people, we can't drink these things, sweet and sweet, just white water, the newly hit well water, cold, comfortable and cool to drink." ”
