But it's better to be able to exchange learning with Sophie than to be better than being better than her in everything. It also makes Sophie more confident, so why not.

Su Jinyao sat down and waited for Sophie to teach her.

Sophie is not a skillful girl, she is not very good at needlework, that is, she can sew and mend, nail buttons and so on, if she is asked to make clothes and shoes, she will definitely not be able to do it. She doesn't know how to wear makeup, and she can't do such delicate work as embroidering purses.

But Sophie's comb is still good-looking. Although it is not a complicated hairstyle, it is convenient and practical to come up with a beautiful hairstyle with a few casual strokes of the dexterous hand. It's much simpler than those flying buns and flowing cloud buns.

Sophie untied Su Jinyao's braids, combed her hair with a newly bought wooden comb, and the movements of her hands were very gentle, and she didn't forget to praise: "Jinyao, your hair is so good, soft and smooth, black and shiny." ”

Su Jinyao said: "Well, I've eaten well recently, and my hair is getting better." In fact, the eldest sister's hair is also good (tǐng), but it is too long, and it should be trimmed a little. ”

Sophie smiled after hearing this, and said, "Jinyao, your hair can't be cut short casually, don't you know?" The reason why your hair is so short is because you used to run around outside and refuse to wash your hair or shower. Sometimes something dirty will stick, and you can't comb it open, and you can't wash it, so you have to cut it. The last time I cut it short was when I first opened (chūn). You refuse to change into your chūn outfit and wear a padded jacket all day long. I was sweating all over my head, and I had lice, so I had to cut it and wash it for you. ”

After Sophie finished speaking, Su Jinyao only felt a chill. However, there is not much nausea in my heart, but I feel that Sophie is really not easy. In the past, I always blamed her (xìng) for being too weak, blamed her for not understanding herself with careful eyes, and blamed her for not wanting to be strong. But now that I think about it, the eldest sister was also heartbroken (cāo) for the silly girl in the past, right? She also worked hard for this family, no one supported her, she could only carefully accompany the smiling face when she met people, and survive in the cracks, how difficult should she be?

"Eldest sister, I will treat you well in the future. Thank you for taking care of me all the time. Su Jinyao sincerely thanked the silly girl Yao'er.

Sophie smiled at the back of Su Jinyao's head. Although she couldn't see Su Jinyao's watch (qíng) at this time, she could feel that this sister's mind was getting closer and closer to herself.

Sophie combed Su Jinyao's hair, and Su Jinyao taught Sophie to put on makeup. In the morning, the two sisters were very close, and they also took care of each other beautifully.

When Sophie's lip gloss was also on, Xiaocheng'er's voice came from outside: "Eldest sister, second sister, are you all okay?" I've fed the chickens, sheep, and horses, but who's going to cook and feed me? ”

"It's coming, it's coming." Sophie quickly agreed, bowed her head and ran out.

Su Jinyao grabbed her and said, "Don't lower your head if you're in a hurry, it's hard to draw, why are you embarrassed to let people see it?" went out generously, which surprised Xiaocheng'er and his father. ”

It was the first time for Sophie to draw such a delicate makeup, and when she looked at herself in the mirror, it was as if she had changed person, but she also felt very embarrassed. Hearing Su Jinyao say this, she reluctantly raised her head and asked; "Is that really going to work? Don't give people a joke? ”

(ài) Everyone has a beautiful heart, what jokes are not jokes. Everyone will only praise when they see the eldest sister so good-looking. However, there may be people who are jealous, but the more jealous they are, the more beautiful you are. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she pulled Su Fei'er and walked out together, and said, "My hair is also combed well today, and I have to show my father and Xiaocheng'er." ”

Sure enough, when Su Jinyao and Sophie came out together, Xiao Cheng'er couldn't close her mouth in surprise when she saw it. It took a long time before he said: "My God, these are two fairy sisters who have descended to earth." After speaking, he ran into Su Xiangui's house and shouted, "Dad, look at the eldest sister and the second sister, they are as beautiful as a goblin." ”

Xiaocheng'er called this, which amused Su Jinyao and Su Fei'er. Sophie was originally a little embarrassed, but now she chased Xiaocheng'er and beat her, and she chirped while fighting: "Little villain, who are the goblins?" ”

made trouble all the way to Su Xiangui's house, Su Xiangui saw Su Fei'er, and said with a smile: "Fei'er, you look so good." Okay, when the girl is older, she knows that she is beautiful, so it's good. A little girl like a flower should be pretty. ”

Su Jinyao heard that Su Xiangui was praising Su Feier in that room, so she didn't go in, but turned around and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

I believe that after today, Sophie's mind can be a little more relaxed. Such a little change will always make her get rid of those little family spirits and grow up slowly.

The weather is better today, but it's not too hot (rè). Master Gu came with his apprentices and helpers, and when he saw Su Jinyao, he said, "Little owner, this rain is good." The foundation that has just been laid is even stronger when it is nourished with rainwater. It's better than drying out in the sun, and the cracks will be stronger in the future. ”

Su Jinyao also said: "Yes, when it rained the day before yesterday, Siping said this, I thought he was trying to make me feel relieved." Now that Master Gu says the same, I really believe it. Moreover, although it has been delayed for such a day, I still have an idea to discuss with Master Gu, can you change the small layout in the house and build a small bathroom in each bedroom? ”

After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she squatted down and drew a sketch with a tree branch, explaining: "It doesn't need much space, just a bathtub with a piece of wood (chuáng)." It is better to have a small drainage ditch on the ground, so that the water flows directly out of the ditch and does not have to be carried out bucket by bucket. ”

Master Gu is good at work, and he has a lot of knowledge in building houses all year round, so he looked at the sketches drawn by Su Jinyao and said: "I understand, I used to build houses for large families, and I have seen this kind of small cubicle. The ground is covered with a layer of wooden floors or stone bricks, and there is a movable hole left next to the wall, so you don't have to worry about getting into rats or something, and when you pour the water, turn it on, and the water will be left directly outside, which is convenient. Fortunately, you told me in advance that these must be reserved in advance, and I still have time to do it now. If the partition wall is built, it will not work. ”

Since Master Gu said that it could be done, Su Jinyao was relieved. And the original layout of the house does not need to be changed, and the load-bearing walls have not changed, but it is not much effort to build a compartment in the innermost part of the bedroom.

Here, Master Gu told Su Jinyao what he meant, and his apprentice began to dig the ditch, do a good job of the ground that needed to be changed in advance, and then continue to build the wall.

Niu and Siping also arrived, and they appreciated Su Jinyao's suggestion, saying that Su Jinyao was thoughtful, and it was indeed a lot more convenient to have such a small room.

Master Gu was working here, so Su Jinyao and (chūn) Niu discussed going to the small water shop to have a look. First choose the location, and then put a few shovels to see if the ground is suitable for the basement.

Su Jinyao still asked Xiaocheng'er to stay and help Sophie, after all, Sophie has a lot of work to do alone, she has to make two big pots just for cooking, and she has to pick a basket of vegetables. Even if Xiao Cheng'er and Su Xiangui helped, it would be enough for her to be busy.

However, Su Jinyao's side is not necessarily easy. Half of the game I harvested yesterday had to be picked up at the small water shop. This job is done by Siping.

But Su Jinyao and (chūn) Niu had to be responsible for filling several bamboo tubes with water and carrying them to the small water shop. And now that there are more guests coming and going, this bamboo tube containing water is a feature, and I don't dare to change it to a bucket and a large tank of water at will, so there are several more bamboo tubes needed than before, and they all have to be carried by Su Jinyao and (chūn) Niu.

After preparing the things, before the time for the visitors arrived, Su Jinyao and (chūn) Niu and Siping began to choose a suitable location in the vicinity. As long as you don't leave this small water shop fifty steps away, you can do it. But now I'm worried about whether there are many stones under the ground and whether it will be convenient to build a storeroom.

Su Jinyao also calculated that if it really didn't work, she would have to find a suitable cave on the mountain, tidy it up a little, and use it as a storage room. However, it is still not very convenient and difficult to manage. If there are a lot of customers here, if you are busy, how can you go to the cave to get something? You can't arrange an idler to be responsible for short-distance transportation.

In order to facilitate the inspection of the soil quality, Siping also borrowed two sharp-tipped shovels from Master Gu in advance. This is convenient for digging soil and laying foundations, and can also be used to explore stones.

Although Siping is not too professional, and he has not personally explored the soil, but after all, he has also learned the mason's craft, and he has seen the master explore the soil layer many times before following the master to build a house, so he learned to look like it and tried to dig a few pits.

But this time the luck is not so good, the small water shop left and right suitable positions have been tried, but digging a few shovels to see the stone, look at the size of the stone, it is estimated that it can be connected to the mountain. In this case, there is no way to dig the basement at all. Not to mention digging the basement, it is difficult to dig the foundation deeper.

Helplessly, (chūn) Niu looked left and right, and asked Su Jinyao, "Why don't you move forward?" A hundred steps is not too far, so let's try a little more. ”

Su Jinyao shook her head and said: "I chose Xiaoshuipu here before, because this is the middle section of this road, although the distance of more than 100 steps is not much different, but you can understand when you look back at the mountain road we came over." This is the only place where you can go up and down the mountain, and it is difficult to walk anywhere else. We came over today, carrying the burden and walking 100 or so steps forward is nothing, but in the future, there will be more ingredients, and we will walk more than 100 steps when we go down the mountain every day, and our physical strength and energy will be an invisible consumption. ”

Su Jinyao calculates from the starting point of a killer, no matter what she does, she strives to use the least effort to receive the greatest effect. Therefore, the choice of location should also consider the transportation of goods and ingredients in the future. Imagine that after you have climbed a mountain, you have to carry the burden and walk for about 100 steps to arrive, and there will be a period of boredom psychologically. After a long time, it is easy to get tired mentally.

It's like when you go to work every day, the difficulty of getting up early and the congestion of the subway are tortured enough, and you have to wear high heels to walk a long distance to reach the company after getting out of the subway. But if you get out of the subway and get off the elevator to the office, then you are still walking on the 100 steps and you are already sitting down for a cup of coffee. This enjoyment is the difference brought by a hundred paces of distance.

Of course, she didn't know what long distance burnout was, and she knew that there was no other way to do it now, either to abandon the underground storage room, or to move forward and find a place where she could dig out the storage room. Far, just far.

And Su Jinyao's (qíng) is not high, she has always been a smooth sail (rì) since she crossed over. Family harmony, sister and brother (ài) protection, even if there is some casual friction with Sophie, it is also a small conflict between sisters. And the business is still smooth, even if the Zhao Dadong family of the cyclamen house refuses her to use roast duck as a shareholder (qíng), she doesn't care too much.

But now it seems that the saying "interlaced like mountains" is true. Faced with the matter of building a house (qíng), Su Jinyao seemed helpless. She couldn't remove the big boulder buried deep in the ground. Even if she could, the manpower and material resources consumed were not proportional to the actual benefits, and she would definitely not do that kind of thankless work (qíng).

So...... If the stone can't be moved, can you use explosives? Su Jinyao's eyes narrowed slightly, feeling that this was definitely a good idea. She doesn't understand the principles of engineering, but she is very good at the principles of blasting. Even if the killer skill she used to be best at was cold weapons, killing people silently and invisibly, it doesn't mean that she doesn't know how to use guns and explosives.

It's just that where to get the explosives now? It stands to reason that the clay workshop where the firecrackers are made can buy gunpowder, but the power will definitely not achieve the effect she wants, because it is a large stone to deal with. Or, use sulfur and saltpeter to make a certain amount of explosives?

Su Jinyao's mind kept spinning, thinking about the method of homemade explosives in her mind over and over again. In principle, there is no problem, the plan is feasible, and the materials should be relatively easy to obtain. However, if she really made the explosives, after the "boom" here, will there be other consequences?

The stability of the mountain (xìng), the looseness of the geology? Or simply expose yourself, and someone will investigate the source and recipe of the explosives, what should you do? Isn't it too dangerous for a little girl to do this?

No matter how good her brain is, she can do business, write, fight, and heal, all of which can be said to have been taught by her mother. But isn't it too to say that my mother can get explosives?

Su Jinyao admitted that she had considered too many aspects, but she didn't want to ruin such a beautiful and comfortable life because of a little mistake.

"Little girl, why are you so absent-minded today? Is there something on your mind? A regular customer saw that Su Jinyao had been stunned by the side, and couldn't help asking.

Su Jinyao was stunned for a moment, and when she raised her head, she realized that when she was stunned and thinking about things (qíng), there were already guests at the small water shop. Four regular customers came and were drinking water. Niu and Siping were not here, and the "clanging" of iron pots and frying spoons came from the stove behind them. Su Jinyao realized that she had been in a daze for a while, and she even forgot to greet the guests when they came.

Su Jinyao smiled embarrassedly and said, "Let everyone laugh." I'm thinking about this little water shop to build a new house (qíng). ”

"Yes, I heard that there is a lobby to be built here, and it will save rain and snow in the future, which is a good thing. But little girl, what are you intrusion? The guest asked very heartily.

Su Jinyao sighed and said, "I originally planned to build a spacious place, and dig a storage room underground, so that it is convenient to preserve fresh ingredients." But just now, Brother Siping probed and said that the ground is full of stones, and the stones are still very large, and they may be connected to the mountain. If it is really dug up and the stones cannot be removed, this storage room will have to be abandoned. And what's worse is that within a few dozen steps before and after, there are large stones. It's not very convenient to move farther away, so I'm worried about it. ”

Su Jinyao didn't mean to hide it, firstly, the guests were really concerned, and secondly, it was not a secret, and it would make her feel more comfortable when she said it. Or maybe you can come up with a good idea with a knowledgeable guest.

After listening to Su Jinyao, the guest also felt helpless and pity. Such a good location, but because of a few big rocks, things went bad. However, if you don't use the storage room, there are indeed too many inconveniences.

But among the other three guests, one of them looked at the position in front and back of the small water shop, and then looked at the road, and suddenly asked Su Jinyao: "Little girl, if you must build a new house and dig an underground storage room in this location, why don't you go to the opposite side to try it?" ”

"On the other side?" Su Jinyao blinked her eyes and didn't react for a while.

The guest said, "For the guests who come and go on this road, there is not much difference between you opening a shop here and opening a shop on the other side." But if you look at the mountain and the road, the mountain is not very steep, and when you get to the road, you are already at the foot of the mountain. So even if there are a lot of stones underground here, if you try a road sideways, a distance of dozens of steps wide, you should have passed the mountain of Lianshan, and there should not be many stones. ”

"Ah, yes!" Su Jinyao fully understood this time. She slapped her face sharply and said, "That's the truth." We only thought about panning left and right here and there, but we didn't think to try it on the other side. It's still the same position, just crossing a crossway, maybe there aren't so many stones. ”

Su Jinyao was overjoyed, said "thank you" to the guest, and ran to the back to face (chūn) Niu and Siping: "(chūn) Niu, the problem is solved, when the guest leaves, you let Siping go to the opposite side to try it, maybe there are not so many stones in the past dozens of steps." ”
