Chapter 56: Renovating the House
"I'll eat it myself."
Qin Xiang was fed a second piece of rabbit jerky, and immediately blushed and took the jerky to eat by himself.
"I'll drink with you, I've got a good amount of alcohol."
Qin Xiang took advantage of Han Yunxiao's inattention, quickly snatched his wine bottle and said with a smile.
Han Yunxiao raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "I remember that on the day we got married, you only drank two glasses and got drunk. ”
Qin Xiang laughed dryly, and suddenly remembered that the original owner's alcohol consumption was not very good, but she had already drunk a glass just now.
"I was so nervous that day that I blushed, and I had a good amount of alcohol."
Qin Xiang grabbed a piece of rabbit jerky and put it in his mouth, hiding the embarrassment in his heart.
"I have been practicing martial arts for many years, and my ear power is higher than that of ordinary people, if someone's heart beats faster, I will definitely be able to hear it."
Han Yunxiao smiled and looked towards Qin Xiang.
"Where did you buy this rabbit jerky, it tastes really good."
Seeing this, Qin Xiang directly diverted the topic, lest Han Yunxiao continue to talk about it.
"I just bought some by the way."
Han Yunxiao nodded, then picked up a piece of rabbit jerky and stuffed it into Qin Xiang's mouth again.
Qin Xiang was not surprised, the people in this village said that Old Man Qi and Mrs. Qi had a particularly good skill in making jerky.
At least it's not worse than the taste in the shops in the county, but the price is a little more reasonable.
"Do you have something to tell me?"
The two drank half a bottle of liquor, and when she saw that Han Yunxiao still refused to say anything, she couldn't help but ask.
"It's okay, this silver is for you, you can use it to buy a shop first, and the income from opening a shop can be higher."
Han Yunxiao took out a hundred taels of silver from his pocket at this time, retreated to Qin Xiang, his eyes flickered, obviously something was hiding from Qin Xiang.
Qin Xiang couldn't help but be a little puzzled, she had always felt that Han Yunxiao was a little bored because of the matter of the two small groups, so she couldn't get up in the middle of the night to drink.
But looking at his current condition, it is obvious that he is still upset because of other things.
Qin Xiang felt puzzled and hurriedly asked, "Are we husband and wife, why do you hide it from me?" If there's anything going on, just say it and let's solve it together. ”
Han Yunxiao raised his head and looked at Qin Xiang, he only thought that Qin Xiang's facial features were delicate before, but after all, he was just a girl from a Zhuang family, and he had not been treated well at home.
Therefore, Qin Xiang was a little emaciated, her skin was dark yellow, her hair was yellow, and she gave it to her parents' family with a little silver in her hand.
She didn't have any money to buy clothes and jewelry, and her clothes were very shabby, so she wasn't very outstanding.
But during this time, the family earned more money, and naturally ate more, Qin Xiang was a little fatter than before, with fair skin and black and smooth hair.
The long green silk was pulled up casually, and only the peach hairpin he gave him was in his hair, and he was wearing a lilac-colored jacket.
She stretched out her shallot-like fingers and pinched the wine glass, tilted her head slightly, and drank a glass of wine, revealing a smooth and white neck, which made Han Yunxiao sigh at Qin Xiang's changes.
He lowered his head, a fire suddenly swelled up in his heart, his mouth felt dry, and he drank a glass of wine.
"Yun Feng also wants to repair the house, I'm afraid that he will come to borrow silver, if he doesn't borrow him, my mother will definitely not like it." Han Yunxiao lowered his head to hold back the restlessness in his heart, and then raised his head to look around.
The house, which he had divided up, consisted of only two main houses and a barnhouse, and was in disrepair, with many corners cracked.
"I heard me right, Han Yunfeng's family lives in a tiled house, which was only renovated last year, why do they need to repair the house?"
Qin Xiang turned over the memories of the original owner, and naturally knew that this Han Yunfeng family had always lived a very wealthy life.
Even the house in the family is one of the best in the village, which is a little worse than the village chief's house.
I never thought that this family would have to renovate the house, Qin Xiang thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but think of their family's intentions.
probably heard that Han Yunxiao and Qin Xiang were going to repair the house, so they knew that the two of them must have a lot of silver in their hands, so they borrowed some silver from them in the name of repairing the house.
It's just that this silver is lent out, I'm afraid that there will be no chance to get it back, and Qin Xiang naturally won't borrow it.
Knock Knock......
At this moment, there were suddenly a few clattering sounds in the room, and the two of them got up with the oil lamps and walked around, and saw that the rain was falling down the corner of the wall, and smashed on the ground under their feet.
Soon smashed a mud nest on the ground, Qin Xiang picked up the basin that usually washed his feet and put it in the dripping place.
Water droplets kept falling from the roof.
"Fortunately, after the winter on our side, there are not many rainy days, otherwise it will be really difficult to do."
Qin Xiang turned his head to look at Han Yunxiao who was standing beside him, and said with a helpless smile.
It was the first time Qin Xiang lived in such a dilapidated house, whether in modern times or in ancient times, which made her feel a little cryless for a while.
"It won't take a few days to repair the house, let's repair it before the year."
Qin Xiang held Han Yunxiao's hand and said with a firm expression.
Han Yunxiao felt the cold and smooth touch of his palm, and he wanted to say something against it, but he swallowed it back.
"I'll go buy bricks and tiles at dawn tomorrow, we still have some silver in our hands, if it's not enough, I'll go out and borrow some more."
Seeing this, Han Yunxiao simply spoke.
Qin Xiang wanted to tell him that he wanted to go with him, but Han Yunxiao shook his head: "The bricks and tiles in our county are not very good, but the price is very expensive, I want to go to the neighboring county to buy bricks and tiles." ”
When Qin Xiang heard him say this, it was hard to say that he went with him, if the two of them left, then the two small groups in the family would be left alone.
Qin Xiang didn't feel at ease about handing them over to Han Yunfeng's family again, so he had to nod his head and say, "Then you go early and come back early, by the way, do you know if there is a suitable bricklayer around here?" ”
"I'll tell you before I leave tomorrow, you just need to take care of the two children at home, and that's what I'm supposed to do."
Han Yunxiao I entered Qin Xiang's hand and said with a tense face.
If it was when he first wore it here, Qin Xiang would definitely give him a roll of the eyes, thinking that this guy was going to carry everything by himself.
But after getting along for a while, Qin Xiang understood that this guy just thinks that the female protagonist is inside and the male protagonist is outside, and he didn't object to Qin Xiang going out to set up a stall, he already felt that a woman should be married and taught at home.
The two drank for a while before Han Yunxiao returned to the room to rest, Qin Xiang also drank a little too much, and fell asleep not long after getting into the quilt.
The next day, she woke up late and saw two dumplings lying on her bedside, still holding a pamphlet in their hands.
She took the time to write this booklet, and it was full of stories she had read in the modern era.
"Mother, you're finally awake."
Han Tongtong looked at it for a while, then turned her head and inadvertently looked at Qin Xiang, and saw that she had woken up.
Qin Xiang got up from the bed, and felt a little dizzy, she really didn't expect that this wine would have such a big stamina.
She rubbed her head, hurriedly got dressed, and asked the two little balls, "Where is your father?" ”
"Daddy went out early in the morning, and he left with the silver."
Han Tongtong's eyes flashed wide, her eyes were a little confused, she was a little curious about what her father was doing with so much silver.
Han Ziyan also looked at Qin Xiang curiously, as if waiting for her to speak, Qin Xiang saw that the two little groups wanted to know, so he decided to talk to them.
"It's okay to tell you, but you have to promise me that you can't say it for the time being."
Qin Xiang rubbed the heads of the two small balls and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, mother, Tongtong won't say it."
Han Tongtong nodded, and obediently approached Qin Xiang, and Han Ziyan also turned his head to look at Qin Xiang.
"He went to the next county to buy bricks and tiles, and we thought about building the house before the winter."
Qin Xiang lowered his voice, for fear that the people outside would hear it, and after the two little groups listened to her words, their eyes also lit up.
They had long hoped that the family could renovate the house, but they always knew that there was not much silver at home, so they didn't say it, and now when they heard that Han Yunxiao was going to repair the house, they laughed happily at the moment.
Qin Xiang was also in good spirits for a long time, got up and washed up briefly, hurriedly made breakfast, and took two small balls to eat together.
She didn't plan to sell fried chicken today, so she simply put everything in the house together, and saved herself from losing everything when she rebuilt the house in the future.
The two small groups also came over to help, and soon all the scattered things in the room were regulated, and the two were busy all day until it was completely dark, and Han Yunxiao had not returned.
Qin Xiang simply locked the door, took the two small groups to rest in the West House, and told the two little groups two stories, and they were finally willing to lie down and rest.
Early the next morning, Qin Xiang got up early, and as soon as she opened the gate of the courtyard, she saw an old man standing at the door with a cigarette pouch in his mouth.
"Who are you?"
There was no such person in the memory of the original owner, so Qin Xiang did not know who this person was.
"Your man asked me to help build the house, and I gave the money."
The old man took a few puffs of cigarette and strode into the courtyard, never looking at Qin Xiang, but putting all his attention on the house.
As soon as Qin Xiang heard it, he knew that this was the mason hired by Han Yunxiao, so he entered the house very politely and brought out a bowl of tea to the old man.
"Uncle, let's have some tea."
Qin Xiang handed the tea to the old man, and the old man took it and dried it, then handed the cup to Qin Xiang.
"When I built this house, I was still an apprentice, and now that almost thirty years have passed, this house is indeed a little broken, and it is time to rebuild."
After the old man turned around, he seemed to be a little emotional, and turned his head to Qin Xiang and said.
"Uncle, look at how many people you need to help build a house this time, we can also go to Zhang Luo."
Qin Xiang looked at this old man carefully, although the ancient people were old faster, this person's age was not too old, but the old man was at least fifty years old.
With such a heavy workload as building a house, he may not be able to afford it.
"My two sons will come over, you can find three more people at that time, and it will be in vain to find too much."
The old man smiled, watching Qin Xiang take out fried chicken from the kitchen and give it to him, his eyes narrowed with laughter at the moment.
