When Xiao Zhu'er saw Xiao Ding coming back, she happily ran over to show Xiao Ding what she was holding in her hand.

Xiao Ding looked down and saw that it was a beaded flower step shake, so he asked, "Where did you get the step shake?" ”

"Sister Tang sent it to me." Xiao Zhu'er said in a milky voice, "I gave the candy man you bought for me to Sister Tang to eat, and Sister Tang gave this to me." ”

"Oh, that's right." Xiao Ding said.

"Brother fool, can you help me put it on my head, do you look good?" Xiao Zhu'er said and handed the step shake to Xiao Ding's hand.

Xiao Ding Xin said, such a small person, he also knows the stinky meha! Women are really natural beauty creatures, whether they are rich or poor, whether they are young or old.

Xiao Ding helped Xiao Zhu'er put the step in her unkempt hair, and Xiao Zhu'er ran to show off to others again.

He unloaded the donkey cart and took what he had bought today to the thatched hut, and gave the rouge gouache and jewelry to the women for their own share.

When the women saw this, they were almost overjoyed. Especially Erniu and Xiao'e.

Xiao'e, who usually doesn't like to talk much, even had a happy smile on her face, and couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart, and said to Xiaoding: "Big brother, you are so good!" ”

The eyes of the second girl looking at Xiao Ding were also full of joy and a kind of affection. Unexpectedly, Xianggong promised to buy it for himself last night, and he bought it back today. Marrying such a father-in-law, even if he sometimes makes stupid mistakes, it is worth it.

Xiao Zhu'er picked it up and looked at it like this, and gestured to her head; Pick it up and look at it, and then poke her nose and smell it...... she looks like she can't put everything down.

Li Shi muttered in his mouth: "Why do you buy these, we poor families don't need ......" said on his lips, but he was reluctant to put it down with what he was holding in his hand, and his eyes were still red.

She has been with Tian Dabao for half her life, and Tian Dabao has never bought her a piece of jewelry or a box of rouge.

Tian Dabao grinned silently on the side, and said in his heart, how much money does this cost, this fool is too good at spending money. The money of the poor family has to be spent in half, how can there be such a big spender as Xiao Ding! Is his stupidity serious again? Although he was stupid before, he never spent money ...... indiscriminately.

Well——, I didn't seem to have much money at home before......

Tian Xiaofu followed his sisters and sisters to join in the fun, watched it for a long time, and found that the eldest brother bought all the things for the girl's household today, and none of them were bought for him, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost. He silently retreated to the back, bowing his head and not speaking.

Xiao Ding saw Xiao Fu's lost expression, and he had already guessed eight or nine points in his heart, so he shouted at Xiao Fu: "Xiao Fu, do you see that I didn't buy you anything, and you are unhappy?" ”

"No, big brother. I didn't have anything I wanted. Xiaofu replied sensibly.

"Haha, Xiaofu, you don't have to be unhappy, in two days, I will give you a big gift, which is enough for you to use for a lifetime!" Xiao Ding said with a smile.

"Really, big brother!" Xiaofu instantly turned from sadness to joy. In fact, he has also felt recently that this stupid brother seems to be a little different from before. It seems to have become more powerful, and generally he can basically do anything he promised. Could it be that his stupidity has been cured?

In the evening, it was overcast, and at the same time a cool breeze was blowing, and it looked like it was going to rain.

Xiao Ding hurriedly checked the grass shed where Tang Yunzhi lived, and covered some grass where there were leaks. An extra layer of straw curtains was also hung at the door.

The thatched hut and the shack where Xiaoding lived by himself, he was not very worried, don't look very broken, but it should not leak rain. Because the whole summer has passed, if it rains, it should have been repaired long ago. Although Tian Dabao can't do this kind of work, Zhao Laixi can help with it.

However, Xiao Ding still checked them all, and added a straw curtain at the entrance of the shack where he lived, as well as the window opening of the thatched house.

Straw curtains, straw mats, etc., are very versatile for poor rural people, and basically every household will prepare a lot.

Tian Dabao's legs and feet are not good, but he can sit and do some work. Every day when he was idle, he tied straw curtains, straw mats, baskets, baskets, ....... Xiaofu often helps on the sidelines.

The wolf skin and the bear skin, after Xiao Ding soaked it in water, the follow-up work was handled by Tian Dabao, and now the two skins are being dried under the bed in the thatched house.

At dinner, the rain finally came. With a strong wind, it was quite urgent.

When they had nothing to do, they began to discuss the building of a house.

From Tian Dabao's mouth, Xiao Ding learned that the houses of ordinary local people in this era were mostly built of adobe, clay, and wood.

Winters are cold in the north, unlike in the south, where you can survive the winter by building only pure wood or bamboo. Houses in the north need to be built to keep out the cold, and the walls are generally made of adobe. Ordinary people don't have the money to buy bricks and tiles to build houses.

In addition, there was no reinforced concrete in this era. It is all bonded by clay or soil stirred with glutinous rice water. Glutinous rice is a very scarce item, the price is relatively expensive, and ordinary people cannot afford to use it.

Although Xiao Ding had also heard of the formula of cement, he didn't know what kind of ratio it needed to be blended, and there was one material in it, gypsum, so he didn't know where to get it.

Even so, Xiao Ding also had an idea in his heart, he planned to try to use only clay with lime, and then go to the blacksmith shop to collect some iron slag, and then grind the powder to try to mix it to see if he could mix cement.

However, it takes a lot of time and effort to do it, and you can only wait to do it later.

Winter is approaching, and the family is in dire need of a house that can survive the winter. It takes more than ten days to build an ordinary house like the one in the village, plus the preparation time, drying time, rainy days and so on, and it takes almost a month to live in it.

A month later, it's winter. Therefore, building a house for the winter is a top priority at the moment.

After getting some information about building a house from Tian Dabao, Xiao Ding no longer discussed with them.

Because, Tian Dabao and Li are used to living a poor life, and before doing everything, the first thing they think of is to be thrifty if they can. According to Tian Dabao's meaning, he was satisfied with building an adobe house in the original thatched house.

But Xiao Ding didn't think so. What Xiao Ding thought was that since he had money in his hands, he had to live a little better. Especially after he saw the mansion of Landlord Xue's family during the day, he felt that he should live like Landlord Xue's family.

Now more than 30 acres of land have been bought, which is larger than the area of three football fields in later generations. Those are all wasteland, full of rocks, weeds, and shrubs, and farming is definitely not good, Xiao Ding plans to enclose all that land and build a mansion that is bigger than the Xue landlord's house.

Of course, not all the houses he wants to build are used to build houses for people. At that time, he will divide the area of the land, and what specific area will be used for what, and when he draws the drawings and plans in detail, he will carefully and slowly finalize it.

Now he just had a preliminary idea in his mind. If Tian Dabao knew that he had such a grand goal in mind, he would definitely scold him for being a loser again.

After the meal, Xiaoding and Erniu braved the heavy rain to return to the shack. Although it wasn't far away, it was drenched all over.

The second girl found dry clothes, and the two of them changed all the wet clothes.

When Xiao Ding saw Erniu shyly and timidly take off her already wet belly pocket and obscene pants, he suddenly remembered the matter of women's underwear, and said to Erniu: "Erniu, you think about it tomorrow morning, and Xianggong will give you another big gift!" ”
