This made Su Jinyao idle, and in a blink of an eye, she saw the carriage in the yard, and wondered if she should return the carriage today? I promised to return the second bolt immediately after using it. But after the adobe bricks were unloaded, it was not early, and the busy ones were put aside and not sent, and yesterday they ran to the ancient elm town for another day, and there was no time, anyway, it was okay today, she had to return the carriage.

There is a way, it is not difficult to borrow and borrow again, although Su Jinyao gave the second daughter-in-law silver before, but it was the money to borrow a car, not the money to buy a car.

Su Jinyao was planning, and after breakfast for a while, she sent the carriage back to Erzhuo, and (chūn) Niu and Siping came.

When she entered the door, she said to Su Jinyao: "Jinyao, I forgot to tell you yesterday, if you don't go out today, Siping and I will hurry up and find a timber seller and settle the beams for you." The wood used to make the beams of the house cannot be from the current year, because it is easy to deform if the moisture is too large. Siping said that he would go to a few timber shops and pick a few strong and good ones for you. It's not necessarily enough time for a day. ”

Su Jinyao smiled when she heard this, and said, "I'm going to go to Xiaozhang Village to return the carriage in a while, so it's better to bring you directly." When you get to Xiaozhang Village, you should take the car, you should walk, I will return the carriage and come back, and I will watch the small water shop. ”

(chūn) Niu said: "That's good to dare (qíng), save me and Siping from going out, and it will take time and soles to do it." You eat, since there is a carriage, it will only be sooner rather than later. ”

Sophie also greeted Su Jinyao for dinner at this time.

After breakfast, Su Jinyao asked Su Xiangui to take five taels of silver to the (chūn) girl, and told her: "Let's settle it when it's good, and settle the rest when we pull it back." ”

(chūn) Niu agreed one by one, and then Siping helped Su Jinyao to make the carriage (tào) ready.

When the four peace and (chūn) girls got into the car, Su Jinyao said with a smile: "Take my carriage, but you have to pay for it." And this carriage is pulling the two of you, which is a chartered car, so you have to give more. ”

(chūn) Niu deliberately glared at Su Jinyao, and said with a smile: "Okay, you can see that the two of us make the fare, can we sell it to you?" ”

"Okay, that's it." After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she deliberately threw the whip in her hand and drove the carriage on the road.

Along the way, Su Jinyao and (chūn) Niu giggled and laughed, but they didn't think it would take much effort to arrive at Xiaozhang Village.

Niu and Siping got out of the car and said to Su Jinyao, "When you go back, it is estimated that Master Gu and the others will start working." You take the time to talk to Master Gu about building a small water shop. It's up to you to settle down with him, I'm afraid I'll say what kind of moth he has. ”

Su Jinyao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll explain to Master Gu that you can add your salary or anything." ”

Su Jinyao also knew that the matter of building a house (chūn) could help watch it, and if there were any questions that could be raised, but if there was any general direction that needed to be changed, it must be better for Su Jinyao, the owner, to directly talk to Master Gu.

Niu and Siping left, and Su Jinyao drove to Erzhuo's house. The second daughter-in-law heard the sound of the carriage and went out to greet her.

Su Jinyao's face turned a little red when she saw the second daughter-in-law greet her out of the door. Hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I borrowed your carriage and only returned it now." That day, I pulled the adobe back, and it was very late to unload the car, and I didn't have time to send it back after I was busy with other things. Yesterday I took my brother to Ancient Elm Town, and it was late in the evening when I came home. No, I was in a hurry to get the carriage back early this morning. ”

"No hurry, no hurry." The second daughter-in-law hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I came out to greet you, the little owner, but I don't care about this carriage, don't get me wrong." ”

As he spoke, the daughter-in-law of the second bolt shouted into the house: "The second bolt, the little proprietor is here." ”

"Hey, it's coming." Ershuo's voice replied loudly, and then he saw Ershuo come out of the house with the youngest baby in his arms. It's still a little lame, but it's almost impossible to see if you don't look closely. And it was not easy for him to walk on his own before, but now he can walk with the child in his arms, which is really much better.

Su Jinyao looked at the second bolt and said, "That's good, the recovery (tǐng) is fast." Is there anything else uncomfortable? Do you have any special reactions after taking the medicine? ”

"No, it's really good too fast." After the second bolt finished speaking, he took a few steps in front of Su Jinyao with the child in his arms, and said excitedly: "Don't say that I was walking with the child in my arms, even if I walked by myself, I was also lame." Now my knees and ankles don't hurt anymore, and I feel like I walk with the wind. My daughter-in-law also said that if you don't come again, we will go to Pingshan Village to thank you. ”

Su Jinyao smiled when she heard this, and said, "Isn't this coming?" If you did go, it would not be thanks to me, but I could tell you that you were in a hurry to get the carriage going. ”

"Haha, little boss, you're laughing, I'll give it to you with this carriage." After the second bolt finished speaking, he looked at his daughter-in-law and said: "My daughter-in-law said, my leg is good, and I don't necessarily have to catch the car, after all, she is not at ease when she runs outside all day." She would rather let me farm at home, and the two of us can take over a few acres of dry land, raise some chickens, and raise two pigs, which can be better than driving a car. ”

Hearing the words of the second bolt, Su Jinyao was also happy for him. After all, in ancient times, there were not many means to make a living, and most people still thought that guarding the family's one-third of an acre of land and living honestly was happiness. In the past, Erzhuo's leg was not good, he couldn't do farm work, and he could only make money by driving a carriage to pull guests, but he had to leave his wife and children at home all day long, and he would also miss it. Now that Erzhuo's leg is better, of course, he first thinks about plowing the fields and taking care of his family.

Su Jinyao said: "Since this is the case, then tell me how much this carriage costs, I bought it." After all, if you want to live (rì) in the future, you will also have to buy land, and you will have to buy pigs and chickens, all of which will cost money. ”

The second daughter-in-law said: "Forget it, this carriage is not new, it is good that the little owner does not dislike it." We are going to grow vegetables in our yard, and the stables are going to be demolished, and the carriage is left in the yard and there is no place to put it. Once this thing is idle, it will be easy to break if it is not used for a long time, so you can use it if you give it to the little owner, and you can help me clear out a place. ”

The second bolt also said: "Little owner, I won't tell you, every time I go to the town and the city to see a doctor with a leg attack, the doctor's consultation fee is enough to buy several carriages." But the little boss, you showed me twice that it was such a big effect, and I sent you a carriage, in fact, I still made money. Little owner, is it possible that you are going to give me the silver of the carriage and then calculate the consultation fee with me? ”

The second bolt is completely joking. Su Jinyao also knew that these two people were sincere in giving the carriage to her, so she didn't refuse. However, Su Jinyao said again: "Then let's do it, since you said that I can see it well, then I will show you again, and strive for another medicine to get rid of the root of your disease." ”

"Hey, okay." The second bolt immediately handed over the child to his daughter-in-law and asked Su Jinyao to come into the house to check the pulse.

After Su Jinyao diagnosed the pulse of the second suppository, she told him that the effect of the medicine was very stable and he was still recovering. In other words, if you insist on taking the medicine for a period of time, you will recover better than now.

Hearing the news, Erzhuo and his daughter-in-law were excited. After all, it is a stubborn disease that has been delayed for so many years, and once it occurs, it is painful, and now there is hope for a complete cure, which is really exciting (qíng).

Su Jinyao said: "There is no need to change the prescription now, I will pass by here in a few days, and I will come to show him." But it should be fine. ”

"Okay, thank you so much. I really didn't expect that you are still a doctor. No, it's not just a doctor, it's a miracle doctor. The second daughter-in-law was very happy, and directly praised Su Jinyao as a miracle doctor.

But after hearing this title, Su Jinyao thought about it and said, "Actually, I still want to get rid of you, don't tell who diagnosed and treated your leg disease." First, this is our family's home remedies, and it is also a secret recipe, and I don't want to show it easily; Second, I don't practice medicine for a living, but if there are too many people who come to seek medical treatment, can I still die without help? ”

After listening to Su Jinyao's words, Erzhuo and his daughter-in-law hurriedly nodded and said, "Don't worry, little boss, we won't say it." Since it's your family's secret recipe, it should be kept secret. ”

Now, the second bolt's leg disease can be regarded as cured, and Su Jinyao is ready to leave. The second bolt and his daughter-in-law sent Su Jinyao to the door.

Su Jinyao said, "I'll take the carriage with me." One yard to one yard, and I would like to thank you for the gift of the carriage. In the future, if you still need it, you can go to me and come back, and you can borrow it. By the way, if you really have chickens and pigs, why don't you sell me the pig (ròu) first? It's the same as the market price, and I want it. ”

"Huh? Little proprietor, do you still run a restaurant? "Erzhuo only knows that Su Jinyao often runs to the city, and every time she seems to be very profitable, and she spends money very generously. But he didn't know that Su Jinyao also ran a restaurant, so it seemed that this little proprietor's family should be a wealthy family in Pingshan Village.

But when I thought about it, I felt that it was wrong, the time when the second bolt sent a quilt to Su Jinyao, I clearly saw that the Su family's dilapidated house was simply ventilated, why did I still buy a pig (ròu) now?

Su Jinyao smiled and said, "Well, there is a small restaurant, but it is nested in the mountains, so outsiders don't know about it." Moreover, our village (tǐng) is poor, and the pig-raising families are reluctant to kill pigs to eat, so they want to keep them for the New Year. Occasionally, a family kills a pig, and the whole village divides a pig, and there is not much. My small restaurant sells vegetarian food, and it wouldn't be a good idea to go to the town and buy it (ròu). So, if you want to sell your pigs, I'll buy them all. ”

Hearing Su Jinyao say that their family's small restaurant was nested in the mountains, the couple took a look. I've heard that big restaurants are open in big towns, but I haven't heard that there are restaurants nested in the mountains. However, listening to Su Jinyao's tone, she still has to buy so many pigs (ròu), there must be a lot of customers in this restaurant.

The second bolt daughter-in-law reacted quickly, and she also felt that no matter where other people's restaurants opened, they hadn't bought their piglets anyway, but the big pigs didn't worry about selling, how good it was. He agreed: "That's good, when our family catches the piglets and raises a few big fat pigs, we will send them to the little owner." ”

"Okay, I often pass by here, even if I don't come to your house, I can see Uncle Wang. If there really is something wrong, you can just ask Uncle Wang to bring a message. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she got into the carriage and drove the big black horse home.

With such a carriage, it will be much more convenient to buy or sell things in the future. Su Jinyao even thought that after the new house was built, the carriage would take the whole family to the town to choose furniture.

When the time comes, what Xiaochenger likes and what Sophie likes will buy it. Although my father can't move his legs, he can still sit and watch the scenery. With a carriage pulling him to the town for a walk, Dad must be very happy.

The plan in her heart is getting better and better, and Su Jinyao's smile is getting bigger and bigger. It seems that it is not the dirt road in the countryside that is driving the carriage forward, but the road of hope for their Su family.

Having a stable is much faster than walking, Su Jinyao didn't take much time to run to Xiaozhang Village, and when she returned home, Xiaocheng'er hadn't gone to Xiaoshuipu yet, and when she saw Su Jinyao pulling the carriage back, she asked curiously: "Second sister, that family is not at home?" ”

"Yes. However, the carriage will be our family from now on. They gave me the wagon. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she said again: "Come, help the second sister untie the car." In the future, our family will have a carriage, and it will be convenient to go anywhere. I had everything in mind, and as soon as the new house was built, we would get in a carriage and go to town to pick out furniture. ”

When Xiao Cheng'er heard this, Le's eyes lit up. Sophie was watering the vegetable patch in the yard, and she also put down the water scoop and ran over to ask questions. Su Xiangui smiled vigorously through the window.

Su Jinyao dealt with Sophie and Xiaocheng'er while untying the carriage (tào). Xiaocheng'er led the big black horse to tie it up, and Su Jinyao said to Su Xiangui: "Dad, I'll go to the new house to have a look." Then go straight to the small water shop, do you have anything else? ”

Su Xiangui shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's okay, you can hurry up." ”

Su Jinyao said to Su Fei'er again: "Eldest sister, let Xiaocheng'er be at home with you." Otherwise, it's too hard for you to cook so many meals by yourself. I'll just be able to deal with it alone. ”

Sophie hurriedly said, "How can it be done." There are more than ten or eight guests coming and going in the small water shop, and you can't be busy at all if you have to greet guests and serve food alone. It's easy for me to do here, it's a big pot of rice, just let those workers carry a big bowl to cook by themselves, or let Xiaocheng'er follow you. ”

Xiao Cheng'er also said: "The eldest sister is right, I know that Xiaoshuipu is busy over there, and he can't be idle all day long." The eldest sister cooks and stir-fries at home, and her father can still sit on the kang to help her pick vegetables, but the second sister, you can't be busy at all. ”

Since Xiao Cheng'er also said so, Su Jinyao agreed. Then he said: "Okay, Xiaocheng'er, you better come with me." But the eldest sister doesn't need to prepare a meal for the two of us, let's see what is available at the small water shop and eat it. ”

Su Jinyao knew that preparing less meals for two people could also reduce Su Fei'er's workload a lot, so she and Xiaocheng'er just ate at the small water shop.

Sophie agreed, just let Su Jinyao rest assured.

Xiao Cheng'er said again: "Second sister, you go and talk to Master Gu first." I fetched two buckets of water for my eldest sister so that she wouldn't have to fetch her own water when she was busy. ”

Xiaocheng'er has always been caring, not to mention that the eldest sister and the second sister are the same relatives, of course, they can do as much work as they can.

Su Jinyao agreed, so she went to the new house first.

Once the foundation is laid, building the wall is a technical task. Hanging wires, bricks, and plastering are all exquisite, and it is not possible to do anything about it.

Master Gu was still watching from the sidelines, still holding a dry tobacco stick in his hand, pointing here and there from time to time. And only two of the four helpers found were here, respectively responsible for handing bricks and laying hands to Master Gu's two apprentices. The other two helpers were not here, and Su Jinyao knew that the two of them had gone to dig loess at the foot of the mountain.

There is no cement available in Pingshan Village and the surrounding villages and towns, so loess and yellow mud are dug to build wall bricks. But the masons have a special recipe, which is something like flour, but much finer than flour. When used, this special flour is mixed with water to form a white (nǎi) soup, and a few baskets of loess are only added with two scoops of such "(nǎi) soup", and when it is dry, the adobe bricks made of this yellow mud are no worse than those made of cement.

Su Jinyao came over, and when Master Gu saw Su Jinyao, he stepped forward and said, "The owner is busy enough, we arrived here very early, and I heard that you and (chūn) Niu and they went out." ”

"Well, it's a little trivial, isn't it like I'm going to come back when I'm done?" Su Jinyao said as she walked to the position of the foundation. I saw that the underground part had been almost finished, and the adobe bricks had been laid three stories high, almost above the foundation. And only Master Gu's two apprentices were building the wall, which was already very fast.

However, Su Jinyao didn't know how to build a house, and after reading it, she couldn't find any fault, so she said to Master Gu: "Actually, I came to discuss with Master Gu, after the five rooms in our family are built, I want to ask the master to go to another place to build a canteen." Master Gu, do you think you will accept this job? ”

Master Gu listened to it and said with some embarrassment: "Canteen? How big is that? Is there a column in the middle? If it's a big dining hall and I can't use columns, I can't take it. The beams of such a house are built in a different way, which is fundamentally different from what we learned, and we can't build it. ”

Only then did Su Jinyao know that there were so many ways to build a house, and she really didn't understand it at all. But it doesn't matter if she doesn't understand, she can learn it now. So he asked Master Gu, "What is this pillar?" How big does it take for a house to use columns? ”

Master Gu said: "The column is the pillar in the middle of the big house, which is used to build the beams and play the role of supporting the frame. ”
