Chapter 60: Renovating the House

It wasn't until noon that Aunt Wugen walked briskly.

Different from the gray dress in the field, she wore a light green coarse cloth robe this time, the cloth towel on her head was removed, and her hair was combed in a bun, which obviously showed that she had been specially dressed.

As soon as she entered the room, she smiled and confessed.

"Youyi, I'm sorry, I went back and changed my clothes, so it's late."

Ji Youyi didn't care, "Don't worry, I'm late when I come back, and I've just done it." These two dishes are made from the meat you brought in in the morning, so sit down and try them. ”

She pushed the dish in front of Aunt Wugen, one was braised rabbit meat, and the other was fried bacon with mushrooms.

The five aunts took the chopsticks and mushrooms and tasted them, and their eyes suddenly lit up.

The softness and deliciousness of the mushrooms, combined with the salty aroma of the bacon, are mixed together after stir-frying, which is a delicacy that she has never tasted.

"Youyi, what is this, why is it so delicious?"

"This is a mushroom from the mountains, I made some and put it at home, and I tasted it for you before, you don't remember."

"Oh, yes, I remember, there was such a time."

Aunt Wugen said with a look of surprise: "The mushrooms in this mountain can still be made so delicious." Have you heard that this mushroom is poisonous? ”

"It's toxic, but I've treated it specially, so it's fine. Auntie, if you like it, I'll pack some for you and take it home to eat slowly. ”

"No, no, no, how can I take your things for nothing, no."

"My aunt gave me so much meat, I don't know how to repay you, give you some mushrooms, it's nothing."

Ji Youyi thought about repaying the favor, everyone had dealings, and Aunt Wugen didn't shirk after a few polite words.

In order to eat today, Ji Youyi specially cooked white rice.

Aunt Wugen's family has always eaten brown rice, and even during the New Year's holidays, she may not be able to eat a meal of white rice. In addition, I was busy working in the field early this morning, and I was really hungry, and the food was extraordinarily fragrant.

"Auntie, eat slowly, there's still rice in the pot."

Ji Youyi saw her gobbling up, so she scooped a bowl of soup for her and put it aside, afraid that she would choke.

Aunt Wugen hurriedly swallowed the food in her mouth and said, "Thank you, you can eat too." An An eats more meat to grow his body. ”

Saying that, she sandwiched a piece of meat into An An's bowl, An An's chopsticks stopped, Ji Youyi quietly sandwiched the meat over, knowing that An An didn't like others to pick up vegetables, even if it was her, now she uses chopsticks to pick up vegetables.

"An An eats less meat, and I'm afraid that he will eat too much, so I make rules for him at every meal." She explained with a smile, "Auntie, you eat more, and you have to go to the fields in the afternoon." ”

"yes, it's not about to plant seedlings, and I haven't irrigated my field yet."

Speaking of her own land, Aunt Wugen is also very worried, although the rent of the land is cheap, but the location is really too remote, it is really not easy for her to dig such a long canal alone.

Ji Youyi saw that although there were few people around, there were three or two people farming, and they didn't seem to be so troublesome.

"Auntie, I see that there are also people around you who farm the land, haven't you discussed digging a canal to share?"

"Hey, you don't know, they don't grow rice at all." Speaking of this, Aunt Wugen seemed to be angry, and said with a frown: "They grow sweet potatoes at home, so why do sweet potatoes need so much water, it's almost enough to pick two loads." In addition, there is a small canal next to it, which is enough for them to use at ordinary times, just like my family grows rice, and it needs a large canal for irrigation. ”

"In that case, why doesn't my aunt grow sweet potatoes like them?"

"How can sweet potatoes be eaten for people, dry and dry, how can there be rice to actually be sold for money, and they can be made into flour."

In fact, Aunt Wugen's land is barren, the water is scarce and the geology is not good, and there is not much rice that can be planted every year, many of which are holding their shells and having no rice grains, but she just insists on planting rice.

When Ji Youyi heard her say this, she couldn't say anything more, and the topic turned to her own affairs.

"Auntie, I want to rebuild the house, replace it with some new tables, chairs and cabinets, lay bricks on the floor in the house, and rebuild the roof of the inner room, the walls are wet and moldy, but I don't know how much silver it will cost to get these."

"How do you want to get these?" Aunt Wugen was full, put down the dishes and chopsticks and drank the soup.

Ji Youyi explained: "An An is older, I want to make the house better and make him more comfortable." ”

"And how much silver are you going to get? You can get more silver and less silver, but it's different. ”

"I haven't done any of these things either, so I'll ask my aunt about it."

Aunt Wugen looked at the house left and right, but it was not easy to estimate, but she heard her say that she wanted to get a house, and she had a plan in her heart.

"You see that your house is now a kitchen, a big room, or build a small one next to it for An'an."

Ji Youyi didn't plan to live here for the rest of her life, An An still had to go to the city if she wanted to go to school in the future, so she didn't plan to build a house again.

"Auntie, An An is still young, and I don't feel at ease living alone. So I don't plan to rebuild the house, just renovate the current one. ”

Aunt Wugen didn't know what she was thinking, and persuaded: "The child can't always sleep with his mother, even if he is still young, then if you marry someone or something in the future, you still have to sleep with him?" ”

"Auntie" Ji Youyi stopped her, and said with some displeasure: "Don't talk about getting married, I really don't have this plan." ”

Since learning about An An's intelligence, she was afraid that he would think too much, so she told him a lot of things, and some things she could not let him hear if she could not let him hear them.

She patted An An and asked, "Is An An full of food?" Go back to the house and read a book for a while and take a break. ”

An An nodded at her and went back to the house without saying hello.

Aunt Wugen was a little dissatisfied with his attitude, but she was also used to it, this child used to be like this, and no one cared if she was unhappy.

"Youyi, the child is older, you can't get used to him. If you're not happy, you don't care about people, right. ”

"Well, I'll talk about him later." Ji Youyi casually said perfunctory and diverted the topic, "Auntie, look at the renovation of the house, is three taels of silver enough?" I heard that the carpentry of the village masa's family is good, and I plan to ask him to do it. ”

Three taels of silver?

Aunt Wugen didn't expect Ji Youyi to be willing to spend such a big price, ordinary people, it only costs three taels of silver to build a house, and it is still the best.

She thought about it for a while, and said: "Three taels of silver, the difference is about the same, but Da Lang's hands are black, and the price is not real, otherwise, you add five taels of silver, and I will find someone to get it for you, and keep it well." ”

Ji Youyi has some understanding of these prices, and five taels of silver is also expensive, but she thinks that maybe Aunt Wugen will make it better, and people will help you work, and it is also a favor to take some of them, so she didn't say much.

"Okay, then I'll go get the silver for you, and I'll leave the rest to you."
