"Xi Ming my brother, see the words as faces, since the city has been a few months of farewell, the foolish brother misses very much, recently there are many students in the city to get together, one to discuss the meaning of poetry and books, and the other to ask each other for the benefit of the imperial policy. The virtuous brother has lived in the countryside for a long time, although there is no trouble of contact, but there is also a suspicion of closing the door, why not go to the city for a few days, in order to broaden his knowledge and make friends with his peers......"

Liu Ximing didn't expect Xie Wenle to write a letter to himself at this time, he read the letter word by word, gently put it on the table, raised his eyes to look at Xie Song in front of him wearing a small hat in a green coat, and said to him with a smile: "Brother Xie Shige sincerely invites, dare not obey in Xia'an, you can rest at my house for a while, and then go to the city together after I tidy up." ”

Xie Song had seen Liu Ximing at home before, and he also knew that his master valued this master very much, and when he saw that Liu Ximing agreed, where did he dare to say more, so he hurriedly saluted and said: "The little one listens to Liu Gongzi's arrangement." ”

Liu Xihe, as the deputy steward of the house, was also in charge of ushering in the send-off, and seeing Liu Ximing pick up the teacup to send off the guests, he hurriedly stepped forward to take Xie Song out of the house.

"Little Brother Xie came from afar, I will arrange for you to rest for a while, and someone will naturally call you when the meal arrives."

"There is a tired man"

Liu Xihe took Xie Song out of the Liu family's house and turned left, entered the compound of the collective dormitory, and found a single dormitory room for guests to rest for Xie Song to rest.

Seeing Xie Song enter the house and look around, Liu Xihe smiled and said, "Little Brother Xie will rest here for a while, and the old man still has something to do, so he will leave first." ”

"Boss, please take care of yourself", as soon as Liu Xihe left, Xie Song stood in the house and looked around, and suddenly felt quite fresh.

The room is estimated to be five feet long and two feet wide, and there is a wooden window that can be pushed open, and the walls are all white, so it doesn't look cramped.

There was a four-foot-wide wooden bed covered with a new turquoise cover, a table at the head of the bed that looked like an I-frame from the side, and a chair next to it.

There is a rectangular wardrobe on the opposite side of the bed, and there are towels and other items on the shelves next to it, and all the furniture is a pale yellow wood, and the painted surface looks very smooth, giving it a very comfortable feeling.

"Hehe, although this Liu family is just a local tyrant in the countryside, they are also a little exquisite."

Xie Song lay on the bed for a while and felt bored, and when he saw that no one was taking care of him, he went out and wandered around alone.

When he entered the village before, he walked in a hurry and didn't look carefully, but now he turned around and found that the big mansion of the Liu family is really big enough, and I am afraid that it must be more than 20 acres before and after.

"One-two-one","One-two-one"

"Turn ~right~~"

At this time, a group of people who were still practicing under the scorching sun in a clearing in the middle of the courtyard attracted Xie Song's attention, and he followed the sound and looked over, only to see a hundred or so young men in plain shirts walking in the courtyard for a while, and stopping for a while, seeing that he was a little inexplicable.

However, this group of people walked quite neatly, and they looked majestic.

"Stand still, now start standing in a military posture."

Xie Song stood in the shade and watched for a while, and found that these people seemed to be looking for guilt, walking around against the sun and practicing, and when the steward shouted and stood in a military posture, a group of people were like enchanted pestles in the sun dam and did not move.

My mother-in-law, Xie Song waved his sleeves vigorously to fan himself, thinking that he wanted me to stand there like this, but I didn't want to.

Seeing that a group of people didn't move, Xie Song was disinterested in the heat after watching it for a while, and got up and walked out the door.

When he walked to the gate of the dormitory and looked up and saw the words Liujiacun collective dormitory, Xie Song was in a trance, what is this collective dormitory, it sounds a bit high-end.

How do you know that when you get out of the door, there is only such a house in Liujia Village, as soon as you get out of the gate called the dormitory, there are directly paddy fields outside, and there are only a few houses erected alone by the river, Xie Song suddenly laughed a little, this is not the house used by the Liu family to decorate the façade.

A straight dirt road has been built along the east-west direction in the village, Xie Song walked along the road to the east, and found that there are many houses under construction here, hundreds of people are busy in the construction site, and occasionally some women carry basins to deliver water everywhere, but why are there so many iron rods inserted in the ground, Xie Song is a little puzzled.

After Liu Ximing solved the problem of the barrel, the people in the blacksmith workshop were much more relaxed, he simply used the surplus crude steel every day to build the house, so as not to dismantle it in the future, as for the prefabricated slabs used to build the building, it is also very simple, only need to make a hollow model with wooden planks first, lay steel bars in it and then pour cement.

Xie Song saw a few older people resting there under the tree, and hurried over to say, "Old man, are you building a house?" ”

Father Shao glanced at the young man in front of him, and saw that he was dressed as a family member in a green coat and a small hat, but he was more naïve, knowing that he was a guest here, and replied to him with a smile: "Hou Sheng, whose family are you, I don't know what to do." ”

Xie Song smiled, he had been with Xie Wen for a long time, and he was also used to the casual posture of the young master of his family, and suddenly squatted next to Father Shao: "I am the family of Xie Xiancheng in our county, and the young master of my family sent me to deliver a letter to the young master of the Liu family, and I saw that you are different from other families, so I asked." ”

Father Shao was a little surprised all of a sudden, this young man turned out to be from the county Cheng's family, his attitude suddenly restrained a lot, and he no longer relied on the old man and replied: "Disrespectful, disrespectful, it turns out that he is still the family of the county Cheng, this is right to ask you, my young master is a man of God, how can he do the same thing as others." You see, what we have built here is not an ordinary house, according to our young master, these things are called buildings, also called 'big filaments', and there are no other places to do this. ”

Seeing that this young man listened carefully, Daddy Shao's show-off energy rose again, and he pulled Xie Song to stand next to the construction site and said: "See, this building is all made of steel bars and bones, and stone mortar and blue bricks are used for walls, I heard the young master say that a high-rise building of several floors can be built according to this method, and unlike a wooden house, it is easy to catch fire, no matter how much the fire of our house burns, it can't burn out." ”

Xie Song was suddenly taken aback, how could there be such a house in the world, he understood the meaning of the building, but the city was full of wooden buildings, and once the water was gone, it would immediately turn into nothing.

He asked with a look of disbelief, "Is this house so powerful?" Isn't this made for his own family? ”

Father Shao snorted twice, shook his head and said: "Hehe, then you underestimate my young master, this building, as long as it is meritorious in the village, it can be shared, and in the future, what kind of villa will be built." Let me tell you, my son is now the captain of Long Xiangqu, and he may be able to share a villa in the future. ”

"Lao Shao, where are you bragging about your son, the son of the old You family is also the captain, why don't you see others talking about it every day, hahaha." , a person next to him immediately quipped.

When everyone else heard this, they also coaxed, and Daddy Shao immediately blushed and quarreled with him.

Xie Song watched them tease each other, and when he heard something "advanced worker in Liujia Village" popping out of the mouths of several people, and unfamiliar words such as "outstanding youth" for a while, he shook his head when he heard it.

In addition to these two places, only the city walls under construction and the workshop by the river were still a little interesting, but when he reached the houses by the river, two men stopped him.

"This little brother, except for the people in the workshop, no one can enter here."

After all, Xie Song came to deliver the letter, and it was not easy to break through when he saw this, so he had to walk back again, and only halfway through, he met Liu Xihe and someone along the road to find him.

"Oh, Brother Xie, I'm looking for you so hard, it's noon, let's go back to dinner quickly."

Liu Xihe was sweating profusely, grabbed Xie Song and walked back, and couldn't help but scold in his heart, this stupid thing, it's okay to run around the village, so that he has to look around the village under the sun at such an age.

As for this stupid statement, of course, it was also said by his cousin, and now it is almost becoming a curse mantra in the village.

The three of them entered the gate and walked straight to the big room with the word canteen written in the middle of the dormitory, Xie Song looked at the empty room and was a little surprised, I'm afraid it doesn't have to be two or three acres of land, whose place to eat is so vast.

Before Xie Song could finish his surprise, hundreds of people came bustling outside the cafeteria, and after a few brushes, they lined up into seven or eight long queues, and Xie Song couldn't help but rub his eyes.

"Steward Liu, why are these people lining up in a long line?"

"Hehe, this is my tenant queuing up to eat, don't you see that there are people in front of each team to fight? Come, this is for you, let's go too. ”

After Liu Xihe finished speaking, he handed over a wooden plate and bowl, Xie Song took a closer look, there were four irregular squares on the wooden plate, and there was a circle in the upper right corner, he hurriedly followed Liu Xihe's example and fiddled with it, and followed him to a row where no one was queuing.

"Why isn't there a queue here?"

Xie Song saw that there was no one on his side, it was quite strange, the little emotion that was neglected in his heart just now finally calmed down a little, no matter how he said it, he was also the scholar of the son, and he didn't even arrange a meal, but the Liu family still knew how to arrange a special treatment.

Liu Xihe is a good person with dozens of people, so he couldn't see his emotions, so he smiled and said: "This is a place where only family members can cook, Brother Xie, don't be surprised, even my wife and young master are here to eat." ”

Xie Song felt even more strange in his heart, what kind of rules did everyone in this family set, it was really strange for the master and his subordinates to eat together.
