In the rain, Lu Xingyong picked up Lian on his back, walked out of the village with solid steps, and Chen Ping sent him out. Looking at the figure in the distance, gradually moving away in the hazy winter rain, Lai Lian did not forget to turn around and grimace, Chen Ping knew that this relationship was completely laid.

"Uncle Lu, don't forget about the field." When Lu Xingyong's body was about to disappear into the winter rain, Chen Ping made a trumpet shape with his hand and shouted.

Lu Xingyong, who was walking, paused, turned his head, and couldn't see his expression, but he was surprised enough to think about it.

People should not get along with each other too much, but they should not be too outside. Chen Ping did this, not really worried that Lu Xingyong would forget about the field, but just a little reinforcement of his feelings when he parted.

Here Chen Ping was about to go back to the courtyard, and the only two hats in the house were all taken out, and the winter rain fell on his body, which was really cold.

But just turned his head, there was a cow moo sound behind him, two ox carts one after the other slowly drove from the east road of the village, the ox cart was stacked with green bricks, Zhao Gong led the two apprentices, steady by the ox cart.

The three of them actually came in the rain, and there were more ox carts than yesterday.

"Zhao Gong, why are you here for this rain? Don't be typhoid fever, hurry up and get into the yard. At this time, the craftsman was really dedicated, Chen Ping hurried over and followed Zhao Gong's side, "The fire kang is not in a hurry for a day or two, and it is okay to wait for the rain to stop for a while." ”

When it rains, the roads in the county are still tamped, but the village roads are all stepped on by foot, and they become muddy when soaked in water, and the ox carts drive through potholes, which makes people worry that the green bricks behind will fall.

Holding the plug board behind the ox cart, Chen Pingxu pushed it.

"I don't know when the rain will fall, so I have to make the kang in your house quickly, and there is still waiting for his house." Zhao Gong explained that his trouser legs were covered with mud, and it was also difficult to travel in the rain and lead the cow.

Although he was wearing a robe, Zhao Gong had a lot of rain on his body. It should have been a period of wind and rain in the early morning, and it was contaminated.

As soon as he arrived at the hospital, Chen Ping pushed the door in, and said to Liu in the hall: "Mother, Zhao Gong and the two masters came here in the rain, and a lot of rain fell on their bodies, so they had to burn some ginger soup to drive away the cold." ”

Jiang has it at home, chop it, copy it with a little oil, and add some water to boil.

"Two masters, Zhao Gong, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" There were still some steamed buns in the steamer, which were hot, so Chen Ping took six, "Eat some steamed cakes first, and drink ginger soup to warm up." ”

Zhao Gong and the two apprentices did not eat breakfast, in fact, they did not have this habit, they drove more than ten miles, they were really cold and hungry, and they were not polite, so they took the steamed cakes.

"Your steamed cake is good, it's still better than the one in that county, and there is meat in it." Zhao Gong's apprentice, who was a few years older than Chen Ping, looked like eighteen or nineteen, took a bite of meat, and hurriedly swallowed it, "It tastes so good." ”

Vegetarian steamed cakes cost two pennies, plus meat, it is more expensive, usually where is willing to eat, even Zhao Gong, who is sitting, is also sweet.

"Slow down, if it's not enough, there's still in the steamer, just eat." The stove was used yesterday, and I also watched Zhao Gong and his two apprentices work hard, and the stove was doing well, Chen Ping said, "Working in my home, this meal has to be packaged, and in the next few days, Zhao Gong just came early." ”

Zhao Gong, Zhao Gui drank a sip of ginger soup, chewed the steamed cakes, the warm ginger water entered his mouth, and entered his lungs along his throat, the heat dispersed, and he was much more comfortable, but when he heard the words, he looked at Chen Ping in front of him seriously.

"Are you serious? Does the parents know about it? "Zhao Gui has encountered it before, but it is just a meal, and when he encounters the delicate head of the household, he has to be deducted from the salary, and a meal of six steamed cakes costs dozens of dollars, "This steamed cake is not cheap, right?" ”

"It's okay, my son will take care of the family affairs." On the side, Liu scooped up some ginger soup, added it to the three of them, and said with a smile, "A few of you just eat." ”

It's strange now, although this house is good, but after all, it is old, and it is not a big family.

"Thank you very much." I can't figure it out, it can only be attributed to the good of this family, Zhao Gui didn't delay anymore, drank the ginger soup in the bowl in one gulp, except for the worry of typhoid fever, and beckoned the two apprentices to do it.

Chen Ping couldn't help much in this matter, so he could only occasionally hand over green bricks on the side.

A hole was made in the wall between the west room and the hall room, and the fire passage passed through the bottom, and the west room was cleared, and the original bed was to be vacated, so that it could be built with green bricks.

There were a few holes under the bed, and the location was hidden, and the wooden box that Wang gave to Chen Ping was hidden there, and he secretly took it out this morning and changed places.

"You kid, when you come back, your grandfather should talk about you again." Zhao Gong was busy with two apprentices in the west, Liu took the time, called out to Chen Ping, looked at the west, and said in a low voice, "The flour is gone." ”

Chen Ping was holding a wooden board in his hand, which was only moved out of the western room, and there were cracks on it, just like this, I am afraid that it would not last in winter, and it would not be of much use, but it could be placed in the backyard to make a shelter for that group of wild ducks.

"Then why did Fang Cainiang say that?" Leaning the broken wooden board against the wall, Chen Ping asked.

Liu Shi cleaned up the bowl, looked at Chen Ping, and said, "I don't follow what you say, how can you still be convinced?" Tell your mother, why did you do this? ”

"Mother is thoughtful, those steamed cakes are not worth a few dollars, so it takes more money to buy that flour, plus the starch sugar, it only takes six or seven days in total." Chen Ping said, "I'm afraid that this house in the family will still have to be renovated and renovated in the coming year, and I will need Zhao Gong's help, so don't you have to build a good relationship first?" ”

Flour and caramel need to be bought, but the meat is not necessarily, the pork meat is gone, there is rabbit meat, and the mountain chicken, they are all okay, add some green vegetables in it, put some seasonings, and the taste is not bad.

"How can there be so much money." Liu said a word, but he didn't blame his son.

Dealing with things, this is also reassuring, spending money generously is generous, it is better than the days of calculation.

It rained for six days, Zhao Gong took these two apprentices to come early and return late, and they began to work every day after eating steamed cakes.

During this period, Chen Ping went to the county, went to the uncle's house, took the money for the fire sickle, and inquired about Li Yingxing's residence in the county.

"Cripple Chen, how many times have I told you, the soil is going to be tamped, tamped and smoothed, you still have potholes here, how to put this green brick?" The rain stopped, and in the hall, Chen Ping stepped on the yellow mud floor, his toes touched a bulge on the ground, and shouted at Chen Cripple in the courtyard, "Do you still want to stay in that cell for a few days?" ”
