The mother and son of the Xiang family received sincere hospitality in the Li family, which made the mother and son, who were accustomed to seeing the warmth and coldness of people, sigh.

Brother Li Xuefeng took Xiang Shijie to Changliang's house to burn the fire, this house is between the Ye family and the Li family, strictly speaking, it is also a part of the Ye family's house, there are three families in this trip, all of them are independent courtyards, and the layout inside is also the same, all of which were built by Ye Changsheng for his own servants.

The houses are not big, but they are all brick houses, and when you enter the house, you will have a stove room, two main houses in the east and west, and a yard about ten meters long and wide. Changliang is located in the easternmost part, and there are two more households in the west.

Li Xuefeng pointed to a flat land on the east side of the courtyard and said: "Uncle Chang Liang used to grow vegetables here, you can also grow your own vegetables in the future, the westernmost building is now inhabited, a few bigger than us, and their family will come over in a few days." The middle house is now empty. ”

Li Xuejian pointed to the neat stacks of firewood stacked on the west side of the yard and said: "You can use the firewood here as you like, and you can pick up some when the trees are not green and the forest is good, just don't go far, this mountain is very big, and there are few people in our local area who go to the mountain, it is easy to get lost, and there are beasts or something." ”

Xiang Shijie listened carefully, nodding or responding from time to time.

Li Xuefeng took the key to open the lock, pushed open the door, and a cool cold air hit, "This house has to be burned well, although there is no one living in it for three days, but it is cold this day, and it will be very cold in the house if it is not burned." ”

Li Xuefeng said and instructed him: "You go and bring Chai He in, and light the fire first." ”

Xiang Shijie listened to the slippery go to get firewood, Li Xuesi followed and walked around the house, muttering "Freezing to death, it's not fun at all", and ran home to play with his sister.

Xiang Shijie came back with firewood, and Li Xuesi handed him the flint. There are two large lumps of wood next to the stove pit, and a few pieces of birch bark, and those who have land usually use wheat stalks to start fires, and those who are close to the mountains also use birch bark.

He took the flint blankly, lit the birch bark according to Li Xuefeng's instructions, put it in the stove pit, and then ...... Before he could put the firewood on it, the birch bark was extinguished.

"Wait for it to light up again, and the fire will be bigger, and then put it inside." Li Xuefeng didn't reach out to help, he couldn't come to help him light the fire in the future.

Xiang Shijie silently lit it again, listening to him say, "Take it like this, the flame rushes up, and it will be faster", and finally lit the fire step by step according to his instructions.

"I didn't expect it to be so difficult to raise a fire in the stove pit, and it was not so difficult for me to raise a fire in the wilderness." Xiang Shijie sighed.

Li Xuejian said with a smile: "It's good to get used to it, pay attention when you press firewood, don't compact, such a one, there is room in it, the fire is better, and when you go to bed at night, you can go to two larger pieces of this wood pimple, anti-burning, you don't have to get up and add firewood to it." ”

"Also, you have to add water to this pot, otherwise it will dry up in a while, and it may crack if you don't get the pot." He said and glanced into the tank, there was still half a tank of water in it, Xiang Shijie looked left and right, there were no basins, scoops and the like, Li Xuejian said: "Wait, I'll go get a basin over." After saying that, he ran out, and after a while, he ran back, scooped a basin of water and added it to the pot, accompanied by a "stab" sound, and the pot was flooded with white flowers.

When the house gradually warmed up, Li Xuefeng arranged for him again, "Don't be lazy, there is no water in this water tank, you can go to the well in our yard to fetch water in the future, and then send the bucket back after fetching water." Also, you can go to the river to the west to wash your clothes, and we have crossed several small rivers here, so you can also save some water, and don't go when it's cold. ”

Xiang Shijie pursed his lips when he listened, these are ordinary common sense, but he really doesn't know. So a few of them went back to the courtyard of Li's house, and Li Xuefeng first showed him how to fetch water, "If you can't carry it, just fetch half a bucket of water first, the left and right are so close, it's better to run two more times." There are not many people in the village who have a well, and most of them share a well...... "Li Xuefeng is very competent to tell him some common sense and some things in the village.

"You try." After Li Xuefeng finished pumping, he poured water into the well and asked him to draw water again. After a few practical years, Xiang Shijie finally moved very neatly, and the three of them carried two buckets of water back and poured them into the water tank.

Fu Shi made dinner and asked his youngest son to call them back for dinner, "Sister Yang, you are from the south, I'm afraid you can't get used to eating this pasta, I steamed some rice, you can taste it." ”

Yang fled with her son for a year, she was used to seeing all kinds of ugly faces, like Fu's sincere treatment, she still saw it for the first time, she answered, and her voice was naturally a little choked.

Fu Shi is not good at talking, but everything she says is sincere, "Sister Yang, don't be sad, in the future, your mother and son will live a good life here, and in the future, you will marry a good daughter-in-law for Shijie, what else do we mothers have to do!" ”

After dinner, Fu Shi found two beds of bedding, as well as some pots and bowls and other daily necessities and sent them over, and found a set of his own clothes, a set of Li Xuefeng's clothes, "Sister Yang, this dress was newly made last autumn, don't dislike it, leave these two pieces of fabric for you, and make two more clothes to keep for washing!" ”

The clothes and fabrics are all fine cloth, the clothes are eighty percent new, she carefully looked at the Li family's wear, they should usually have coarse cloth wear-resistant clothes, Yang pushed back the fabric, and said resolutely: "I will accept this dress with a cheeky face, this material, my sister will give me a coarse cloth, in the future, it will be convenient for us to work." ”

Fu Shi found two more coarse cloths, one of which was sent over, Yang hurriedly stopped it, and said with a wry smile: "Sister is like this, it makes me feel that I am very useless as a mother." ”

Fu Shi said angrily: "Since Sister Yang recognizes me as a sister, don't say these kind words, when you have it in the future, if I have difficulties, won't you help?" ”

Yang Zhengse said: "From now on, my sister is my own sister, if you have something, my sister will definitely not shirk." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and they had some sympathy for each other.

At night, the youngest daughter Li Xiaotong slept with him, Li Yihe and Fu talked carefully about the process of saving Yang's mother and son, and heard that her daughter also received a piece of jade pendant from others, she said angrily: "You two are really careless, since the jade pendant has someone's surname, which is given to it casually, go back tomorrow!" Fu didn't think much about it, he just felt that it was not good to accept other people's family heirlooms after saving people, not to mention that there were marks on them.

Li Yihe said with a smile: "Ran Er has returned, the Yang family said that it was a gift for her, and also said that the elder gave it unspeakable, how can it be returned!" ”

Fu Shi was still a little uneasy, "Next time you go to the county, give Shijie a gold lock of about the same value, otherwise I will always feel uneasy when I hold such a precious jade." ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Fu Shi was surprised and delighted when he heard that they had taken over a large sum of silver for the first flower business, and then discussed with him, "There are so many, just these people have to do a good job for a long time before." Last time, some people were talking behind their backs, and the women in the village wanted to come to work, so I thought, why don't we recruit more people this time, let's earn less, and save them from having opinions about our family. ”

Li Yihe frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said: "This is not good, some people are not good at handwork, when the time comes, others will accept it, confiscate her, but it is easy to resent, besides, there are too many people, there will always be greedy, when these looks leak out, our head flowers will not be sold for money." ”

Fu Shi also heard this, and sighed slightly, "What you said is that I want to be simple." ”

Li Yihe groaned and said: "However, such a big sum is really very tempting, I think, it is better to ask the village chief for help in this matter, first, let's recruit people in the village by him, there was an elder brother in the past, and now I am afraid that he will be too careful." Second, if this thing is done well, it can be regarded as a favor for the big guys, and they can make a few more money, with the village chief here, I am afraid that no one dares to dare to steal outside to do it. ”

Fu Shi smiled: "This is a good idea, I didn't bring it to the village chief's house last time, I heard that Aunt Jiang was not very happy behind it." ”

In the morning, Li Yihe and Fu took Yang's mother and son, carried a fine cloth cloth, a box of snacks, and two catties of brown sugar to Jiang Sheng's house.

Of course, Jiang Sheng will not embarrass them, and very generously expressed the welcome of the village, Li Yihe took the opportunity to propose that he wanted to recruit some women who were good at manual work and could keep secrets to make head flowers, and each one would be given five cents, which was a good thing, the Li family and the Ye family made head flowers together last year, and the villagers all knew that those who went made money, and those who did not go were all talking about it, and they were very envious, he handed it over to himself, and Jiang Sheng naturally would not refuse.

If it's done, he, the village head, also has face, besides, can Li Yihe use him for nothing?

Of course, the answer is no, so the village chief discussed with him with a smile for a long time, and finally decided on the specifics, and the location of the work was next to Changliang, another long-term Chen Sheng house of the Ye family. As for Chen Wu's house in the far west, Wang Xiaoshu that he bought now lives, and when his family comes, they all happen to live in this courtyard.

And those who did the first flower with Fu Shi last year were all found to be supervisors, and everyone couldn't do less every day, but they couldn't do more, for fear that they wouldn't be meticulous in order to make more money.

Li Yihe looked at the sky and stayed in the village chief's house all morning, Fu had already led Yang's mother and son back, he said embarrassedly: "I'll go back first, and invite the village chief to drink another day." ”

Jiang Sheng waved his hand, "What's the return, I'll eat here today, let's talk about it again, Yihe, I valued you before, it's really good, benevolence and righteousness, I don't forget our fellow villagers when I get rich, you're a good man."

Li Yihe was a little uncomfortable with his praise, he was really not that good, he just didn't want to cause the hostility of most of the villagers. He has now become a wealthy man in the village, and has built a big house, which is a bit big, and it will definitely arouse the hostility of some villagers, and he is doing it for his own sake.
