The next day, after coming down from the mountain, Zhao Si took them to the house of a friend of his father, who was also a hunter and had a lot of dogs at home. After explaining his intentions, the man sold them a few hounds cheaply. Because the hound is accustomed to its owner, the big one will not be familiar with it when it goes back, and they can only bring the puppies back.

When he was pulling the hunting dog home, Zhao Si deliberately spoke loudly at the door of Zhang's house: "Let me tell you, these are all hunting dogs that follow up the mountain, and they won't let go until they bite to death." ”

"So fierce!" The fat girl echoed after listening.

Zhang Xiaoyan looked at the three puppies, still a little worried. After taking the dog back to the fat girl's house, she took the two of them to the new house.

Originally, I was thinking of going to the eastern countryside to find some more people to come over, but Qin Lizheng told them that now that the grain in the field is basically finished, many people are planning to go to the city to find some odd jobs to do to supplement the family, and it will not cost much money to hire people at this time.

Old Liu Tou felt that he had contracted it to do it, and since the guests wanted to speed up, the silver would be deducted from the wages given to him. Zhang Xiaoyan thought that there might be a lot of trouble for Lao Liu Tou in the future, so she directly refused such a request, and asked Qin Lizheng to calculate the salary needed to hire another person, and directly gave Qin Lizheng the silver.

After doing these things, the fat girl helped Qin Xiang cook, Zhang Xiaoyan, Zhao Si, and Dabao went to the river to catch fish together, picked up some dry firewood and set up a rack next to it to grill fish for everyone to eat.

Lao Liu Tou took the people below to do a lot of other people's work, and the first time he met such a polite owner, everyone worked harder.

The people who work are all men in the village, and they are all poor families, and they usually can't eat meat at home, but now they are full of praise when they eat such a delicious food. Some people also have the idea of catching fish and going back to roast and eat, Zhang Xiaoyan doesn't mind, after all, the fish is in the river, and the river belongs to everyone, and she also told them how to grill fish very seriously.

At the end of the day, everyone talked and laughed, and they didn't feel too tired and were in a very good mood. Not long after dark, Zhang Xiaoyan told Qin Lizheng that he could stop work, let everyone go back to eat and rest, and continue to work tomorrow.

After all, it is physical work, and the fat girl and the fourth child of the Zhang family are tired and bitter, but they are still very happy when they think that it is a new home in the future.

The eldest girl and the second girl have been helping here for the past few days, and they have not been injured when moving bricks. Zhang Xiaoyan felt sorry for the two sisters, and asked them to only help cook from tomorrow, and let the adults do other things, and the girl's hands must be well protected, don't get rough when the time comes.

When I was in the Zhang family, the eldest girl and the second girl were called by the old woman like a subordinate since they were children, and they did a lot of rough work at a young age, and those people took it for granted. Zhang Xiaoyan's kindness to them, they also kept it firmly in their hearts.

When I got home, the fat grandmother and the fourth daughter-in-law of the Zhang family had already cooked a meal, boiled a few pots of hot water, and washed the fatigue on their bodies after they were full.

"Xiao Yan, when are you going to go into the city again?" The fat grandmother was sorting out the dried wild vegetables, and she was still thinking about it.

Zhang Xiaoyan went to check the medicinal materials in the back basket, thought about it and said, "The day after tomorrow, these medicinal materials are a little few, let's pick some and send them to the city together tomorrow." Recently, I have to be diligent, and there are still more places to use silver in the future. ”

The fat girl also thought so, and now she saw that Xiaoyan had given her silver again, Qin Li was inviting a few more workers, and after building the house, she had to add some things, and she had to spend a lot of silver. She pulled Xiao Yan aside, leaned into Xiao Yan's ear and said, "From now on, you don't want to give me any more silver, there are still a lot of places to spend money to build a house, you have to keep some of it, don't you?" ”

Seeing that the fat girl was so understanding, Zhang Xiaoyan smiled knowingly, took the fat girl's hand and swore solemnly: "Just according to what you say, I will definitely give you more silver in the future." ”

"Good!" The fat girl nodded happily.

In the middle of the night, all around was quiet, and in the quiet of the night, I heard the wind gusting, and the strong wind blew off the forks of the big trees outside the backyard, startling the dogs to bark.

Hearing the sound, the fat girl immediately sat up, and the fat girl's grandmother was also awakened, and the grandparents and grandchildren went to the backyard to look at the backyard with their clothes on, and found that it was just a broken tree branch, and returned to the house to continue sleeping.

Yawn! Yawn!

Outside the fence, Zhang Cong, who fell from a tree, covered his mouth and didn't let the sound of sneezing come out. shivered, rubbed his cold hands, and went around the wall to return to Zhang's house.

Damn it!

I didn't expect the new puppies to be so powerful, but they started barking just a little bit of movement. Luckily, the branches fell from above, otherwise they might have been discovered.

Yawn, yawn!

Back in the house, he yawned and shivered.

A cold air hit, Tang Guihua, who was originally asleep, opened her eyes, leaned into her son's ear and whispered, "Why are you going so late?" ”

"Mother, the fat girl's family got a few puppies back, and those puppies are so fierce that they were almost discovered." Zhang Cong didn't hide where his mother had just gone.

Tang Guihua frowned when she heard this, stretched out her hand to take her son into her arms and said distressedly: "Silly boy, don't go again, my mother has already thought of a way, and she will definitely get the silver." ”

"Really? Mother didn't lie to me? Zhang Cong became excited when he heard this.

"When did my mother lie to you, go to sleep, tomorrow morning, my mother has to help the dead old woman work." Tang Guihua yawned and closed her eyes, thinking about the days like cattle now, and she didn't know when it would be?

Ay......

Who made her miserable life and married such a useless man.

Hearing the sound of steady snoring from beside her, she let out a long breath and tightened her hand holding her son.

……

Early the next morning, the whole village knew that Qin Li was recruiting odd jobs. At noon, the old man of the Zhang family came back from outside, and wanted to ask his second son to try it too, so as not to rely on it at home like raising pigs.

The second child of the Zhang family was very good, and he also heard such news early in the morning, and returned home one step earlier than the old man. When he got home, he lay on the bed and pretended to be sick, and asked his son to help cover up.

For this reason, Tang Guihua was still a little angry: "If the old man doesn't do the work, is it possible to wait for me, a woman?" ”

"You know!" The second child of the Zhang family blocked a sentence and told his daughter-in-law what he thought in his heart: "I know how much money I get for working in the village, and I do it for nothing!" ”

This is true at all, now that there is nothing left in the family that the couple can exploit, the wife will naturally not let go of the opportunity, and she has to contribute as much as she gets.

"Mother, grandma is here." Zhang Xiao was playing at the door, and saw the old woman walking this way from a distance, and hurriedly entered the house to report a message.

Hearing that his mother was coming, the second child of the Zhang family covered the quilt, closed his eyes and began to moan in his mouth...... Moaned: "Ouch, ouch my legs! Osmanthus, you have to find me some medicine to apply it back...... Ouch ......"
