"Little Red Flower?"

Lai Lian opened Chen Ping's hand and touched his head, his hair was full of broken grass clippings.

"Yes, I heard my cousin. The master in the county school will put a small red flower on the student who recites well as a reward. Chen Ping looked at Lai Lian very seriously.

Is there such a thing?

Lai Lian looked back at Lu Xingyong, but saw that Lu Xingyong was also at a loss.

"But you're not a little red flower, you're a grass clipping." Lailian spread his hands, and a few grass clippings flew out.

At the end, Chen Ping tied a knot.

This bamboo door has to be tied with three rows of hemp rope to be fixed, Chen Ping measured it with his hand, picked up the hemp rope and put it on again, not forgetting to give Lai Lian a reply: "I just said that you are smart, you are stupid again, let me ask you, what time is it now?" ”

"Winter."

"By the way, where are I going to get you little red flowers in winter?" The hemp rope was a little thick and stuck between the bamboos, Chen Ping picked up a small wooden stick, poked out the end of the rope, pulled it, and looked back at Lailian, "You plug this grass stem, it's actually quite suitable." ”

"Here you go, you're suitable, you're clearly calling me stupid." Lai Lian grabbed a handful of weeds with dirt on the ground, and threw them all on Chen Ping's head, "Little red flower to smart people, you give me this grass clippings, that is, I am stupid." I'm smart, don't think I don't know. ”

Okay, this is really going to extend, Chen Ping really didn't mean that. At best, it's just a trick on the grass clippings.

"Help me hold on, I'll tighten this hemp rope." Chen Ping erected the bamboo door and asked Lai Lian to hold on, "Stand up, I'm going to work hard." ”

If the hemp rope has to be strong, it can be tied tightly, and the gap between the bamboo doors will be smaller, and it is not easy to loosen.

Lai Lian is two points higher than Chen Ping, but his strength is not as good as Chen Ping, Chen Ping only used his strength here, and Lai Lian slid a few steps forward.

"You should have eaten that steamed cake this morning, why is the strength in this hand so weak?" Chen Ping smiled, "If you don't succeed, let Xiao Anzi help you." ”

Chen An was playing with the mud with bamboo there, and immediately came over when he heard the words.

"Go away." Lai Lian stretched out his hand and pushed, "I don't want you to help." ”

Poor Chen An was only six years old, and he staggered back, leaned against the wall, and knocked down a few more pieces of mud from the originally broken wall.

Strength? Chen Ping smiled.

The strength in his hand loosened a little, and Lian on the other side hurriedly grabbed the bamboo and pulled it back hard.

"That's all you need? The previous time I met you, you were still carrying a bow, I'm afraid that the bow and arrow were for Xiao Anzi, and they could be pulled, right? Lai Lian only walked a few steps, Chen Ping added force on his side, and then loosened, and Lai Lian fell to the ground.

Simple stalemate let go game.

"You're cheating." Lai Lian was so angry that he kicked down the bamboo door and pointed at Chen Ping.

"Soldiers don't get tired of deceit." Chen Ping grinned and said with a smile, "Didn't your grandpa teach you?" ”

"Look, there's a flying saucer behind you." Lai Lian suddenly opened his eyes and looked behind Chen Ping.

"Where, where." Chen Ping shouted nervously, but his head was not deflected, and he stared at Lai Lian with a smile.

"Why don't you look back?" Lai Lian grabbed a handful of mud in his hand.

"Because I'm not stupid."

……

It took half an hour to install the two bamboo doors, and then tie them to the side of the wall to make a move. In the middle, there are some bamboo stakes that have been made before, and they are divided into three rooms.

Pulling the black bird in, the rope was put on a piece of bamboo that was fixed into the ground, and it didn't leave much range of movement. The rope was too long, and it might be broken at night and escaped.

"Is this Chen Ping's house?" Only then did he close the bamboo door, stirred up some rice bran and sprinkled it on Hei Yan, and someone shouted outside the courtyard gate.

When the courtyard door was opened, there were three people standing in front of the door, one was a little older, and the other two seemed to be apprentices, young, estimated to be in their twenties, carrying some tools in their hands, and behind several people, there was also an ox cart, and the cart was stacked with green bricks.

This is the mud that Chen Yuanliang invited.

"I'm Chen Ping, my cousin Chen Yuanliang asked you to come, right?" Chen Pingdao, this came quickly, and he even thought of bringing green bricks.

"Yes."

After answering, seeing that he had not gone to the wrong door, the older mason stepped into the courtyard: "Take me to the room to see." ”

Seems to be a practical person.

"I heard Brother Yuan Liang say, your surname is Zhao, I'll call you Zhao Gong." Led the three of them into the west room, Chen Ping pointed to the location of the bed, "How many days do you think it will take to make this kang?" ”

Zhao Gong circled around the bed, went out, looked around the backyard again, and saw that Chen Ping was young, so he said, "What about the elders in your family?" ”

"I can call the shots in this matter, if there is any problem, Zhao Gong, you will tell me." Chen Ping knew what Zhao Gong meant, "You don't need to worry about the money, if you don't believe it, Zhao Gong, I can take half of the money now, which is considered a deposit." ”

"There's no hurry to pay for the money, and it's not too late to pay for it when this kang is finished." Zhao Gong looked Chen Ping up and down, and when he saw that Chen was stable and steady, he said, "Since you have done the master, then I will do the same with you." ”

"Zhao Gong, you just have to order, the family will go to repair the field canal, and when you leave, you will be instructed, and I will be in charge of the family's affairs." Being young is so troublesome, Chen Ping explained.

Chen Xiaoyi never said this when he went out, but in fact, the matter of the fire kang was also discussed by Chen Ping and Chen Yuanliang alone.

It's really not that he deliberately concealed it, but this place costs nearly a thousand dollars, which is not a small amount, if he really tells it first, Chen Ping is worried that his grandmother will object.

Chop first, then play, and talk about it after this winter.

"Yes." Zhao Gong didn't delve into it, and said, "You are a three-room house, I also saw it just now, I think you want to make a fire kang in both the east and west rooms." ”

It's natural, it doesn't matter if you have more money, the key is to be comfortable.

"Zhao Gong, you're right, I live with my younger brother Chen An in the west room, and my grandmother lives in the east room. If it can be solved one day, I will start with my fire kang today, and I can also give it a try, and there must be no mistakes. "One day is what Chen Ping thought, according to that amount, it should be a little difficult.

"One day won't work, at least three days." Sure enough, Zhao Gong shook his head and said, "But I see that you have a black stove in your backyard, where should this stove be placed?" ”

It turned out to be this, Chen Ping had thought of it a long time ago.

"This is my negligence, I forgot to explain it to Zhao Gong." For craftsmen, Chen Ping is very respectful, their status may not be high, but in terms of importance, it is no less than other trades, "The stove in the hall also needs to be changed, and the kang fire between the east and west is drawn from the stove pond of this hall." ”

Although the area of the hall is not large, it is certainly not a problem to put only one stove, and it is more convenient to draw the source of fire from the stove.

When cooking and boiling water, the heat can enter the kang along the fire path.

Afraid that Zhao Gong would not know, Chen Ping picked up a stone chip and drew it on the ground.

"It's best to enlarge the stove and make it into a double pond." This is for convenience, stir-frying and steaming rice can be carried out at the same time, and the small stove that is set up separately can also be dismantled, Chen Ping drew on the ground, and above the stove, there was a small circle on each side, "These two places should be set aside for the water jug." ”
