Under the oil lamp, Xiao Han carefully recorded all today's expenses in a notebook and counted them one by one.

"Sister, I went out today to buy stones, bricks and tiles and spent more than a hundred taels of silver." Xiao Han said distressedly, except for the timber on the mountain, everything else has to be bought, and money is needed everywhere.

"Now there are more than 30 workers, and we have to spend a lot of money every day to pay for the carriage and horses of Brother Niu and Uncle Liu, and to buy food and materials?" Xiao Han calculated an account.

"I know, you still have any money there, I'll give you some more." Xiao hugged Xiao Yu, who was already asleep, and patted it gently, she knew that there were many places to use money, so she gave Xiao Han two hundred taels of silver alone.

"There are still dozens of taels, ten taels of stones, five taels of bricks and tiles, I ordered a hundred taels of silver today, and it is not enough to make up for it." Xiao Han said that the main ingredients of their house are these three things, and the amount is particularly large. "I calculated, according to our daily wages and food expenses, the wages for Lao Li and the first few people are counted as twenty-five taels, which is about three or four hundred taels of silver."

"Well, almost." Xiao Ming didn't count, but she had a rough amount in her heart, and gave Xiao Han another fifty taels of silver.

Suddenly, Mao Mao, who was lying on the ground, stood up, ran out, stood under the eaves and screamed, a black hair dissolved into the darkness, leaving only a pair of green eyes, emitting a glowing light in the night, it can be seen that people's hearts are hairy, their souls are scattered, and they run to the road where they came.

"Wangwang." The sound was as loud as thunder, waking up Xiao Yu from his sleep.

"Auntie, what's wrong?" Xiao Yu rubbed his eyes and asked.

"It's okay, let's go out and have a look."

I saw a vague black shadow outside the door and quickly started to run away, only to hear the sound of splashing water, probably falling into the water.

Mao Mao stood under the eaves and didn't chase him out, and after the person ran away, he slowly went back to lie on his stomach, and glanced at Xiao Han proudly during the period.

Xiao Han felt despised and couldn't cry or laugh.

Perhaps he was moved by the wages and good food, and a few people came to the village to help, including Liu Laoer, the second son of Mrs. Liu, but he worked secretly and slepthily, and he was reluctant to work hard, no one in the village liked to be a partner with him, but Liu Laoer's thick skin was thicker than the city wall, and he could do it very hard.

Li came to the door to ask Xiao Ming if she still had a job, she was idle and came to help, Xiao Ming thought about it, the strong laborers in the village are here, and there are still some women left, these people can't do manual work, but take care of the wasteland, get rid of the weeds, let Li go to the village to talk to the big guys, there are people who are willing to come to help hoe the weeds, she gives Bawen workers every day, only weeding the wasteland, clearing the wasteland is a hard work, she plans to repair the house, and then arrange someone to dig another piece of land.

Eight pennies only hoe grass, which is considered a high price, mainly because of the rice, no matter how it is earned, many idle women in the village have come, mainly for the meat, even Baogen and his mother Wang Xiaohua have come.

There are also two sisters and brothers of Liu Daya, but they were forced to come by Mrs. Liu, and the wages had to be handed over, after the last guidance, they did not go hungry anymore by eating yams, and they were very grateful to Xiao Ming, but they didn't dare to greet Xiao Ming in front of everyone, for fear of causing trouble for her.

Xiao Ming couldn't see that such a young child was forced to work, so she asked them to help Wang's family, Liu Daya washed the vegetables, and the second egg burned the fire.

Wang Xiaohua pulled a little east and pulled a little grass west, and saw Xiao Ming asking Liu Daya and her brother to help in the kitchen, so she hurriedly ran over.

"Sister Xiao, don't let them do this, my mother-in-law asked them to hoe the grass to earn wages, and my mother-in-law said that you should do it hard." Wang Xiaohua was afraid that the two of them would do simple work, and Xiao Han would not pay them.

"We don't want to abuse young children here. Whatever I do, I pay my wages. Xiao Ming said contemptuously, she couldn't bear the behavior of Mrs. Liu and Wang Xiaohua, and she didn't speak politely, and said sarcastically, "This is my Xiao family's business, how to arrange manpower, it's up to us to decide, and we don't need to work Grandma Liu to arrange it." ”

"Okay, okay" Wang Xiaohua was relieved when she heard that she was paid, as if she didn't understand the meaning of Xiao Ming's words at all, and said with a shy face, "I'm stir-frying, I'll also go to the kitchen to help stir-fry." As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward to help, but was stopped by Xiao Ming.

"No need, sister-in-law Wang, there are enough people in the kitchen." Xiao Ming said, and directly rushed to the people, "I see that you are delicate and expensive, this hoeing work is tiring and stolen is not suitable for you, you better go home first." "She really can't tolerate this cheating and cheating person.

The surrounding women listened to Xiao Ming's rush to people, and they all smiled and persuaded Wang Xiaohua to go back, Wang Xiaohua did rough work, and they had to rework where she passed.

"I'm not tired, I'm not tired at all, I did it." Wang Xiaohua was scared, and hurriedly went to work, she was cheeky to stay for the meat meal at noon, but after the warning, she worked a lot more seriously.

"Look at her, just like her mother-in-law." Wang Xiaohua's style made Wang so angry that he couldn't speak.

"It's not a family, it's not a family, and it's a small child to death. Bah! Sooner or later, there will be retribution. The Dawang family hated and tortured Liu Daya's sister and brother, and she did not miss her credit, and she instigated many things behind her, pretending to be a good person and virtuous on the face to show whom.

In the evening, Liu Lao Er and Wang Xiaohua hurried home slowly, thinking about the large piece of meat mixed with potato chips fried together at noon.

Wang Xiaohua is even worse, the white rice and steamed buns are eaten vigorously, and the eating is like the reincarnation of a starving ghost, and she is really unwilling to stop until she can hold on.

made the old village chief so angry that his face turned blue, the people of Lijia Village are still there, it is a shame for Liujia Village.

"Mother, we're back." Liu Lao Er went back to the house and sat down directly, and said to the third brother sitting in the house: "Third brother, it's a pity that you didn't go, you are full for lunch and eat meat and vegetables as you like." Come with us tomorrow. “

"Your third brother has only been off for so many days, and now he is sick again, what kind of work are you going to do. You have to take care of it at home, and besides, if you don't think much silver, your brother will make a piece of furniture for more than that. Mrs. Liu said disgustedly, the third Liu Fushun has been favored by her since he was a child, and she is reluctant to let him do that rough work.

Liu Fushun looks different from Liu Fugui's rough appearance, he completely inherited his mother's appearance, his face is feminine, his skin is white and handsome, but his eyes are too flexible.

He has studied in a furniture store since he was a child, and now he has become a teacher, and he can make furniture, and if he is more diligent and takes on more work, he can live a better life than now, but these are not his wishes.

Liu Fushun coughed a few times and wiped his nose, he didn't look down on those pennies, wasn't it just a meal of meat? What's so rare.

"Second brother, I can't go if I have a cold, but I still have to go over tomorrow to find Miss Xiao to grab some medicine." He also has an incomprehensible mind in his mind, he once saw Xiao Ming sitting in Guangjitang in the town, that appearance is good, so he likes it, misses it day and night, thinking of finding an excuse to get close to him, give benefits, and he can't let her throw herself into his arms by his means.
