But Su Jinyao's eyes saw that the line next to her had not been withdrawn, and Gu Xuebin suddenly approached and pressed it on her lips. In contrast, the beating heart just now calmed down a little, but because he was unprepared, he was suffocated by the kiss.

Su Jinyao was completely confused, and her eyes were confused and flustered for a moment. I only remember watching Gu Xuebin's beautiful eyes closed, and his long eyelashes trembled lightly in front of him. And the lip flap has already been tasted by him.

When Gu Xuebin moved his lips again, Su Jinyao's mind was still blank.

"Silly girl, you don't need to look at the mark, so you can know that the two of us are the same height now." After Gu Xuebin finished speaking, he pouted lightly and touched Su Jinyao's lips again.

Su Jinyao suddenly realized that they were all standing, and no one had to bend down to put their lips together, and it was really ...... Just as tall.

"Get out of the way, there's no seriousness, it's all taking advantage of me." Su Jinyao pushed Gu Xuebin away with a red face, opened the door with one hand and said, "Your pulse is peaceful, and you won't have a poisonous attack in the short term." But it's not sure if it's the effect of the drug or the cycle of your poison hair, so it's important to watch. I'm gone, and I'm still busy at home. ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao ran out of the house as if she was running away.

Unexpectedly, Gu Xuebin grabbed her wrist again after (shēn), pulled her back to (shēn), and said softly: "No matter how busy you are, don't forget to eat." Also, remember to come and observe my illness (qíng) often. If lovesickness is committed, it will be more serious than poison. ”

"Flim Flam." Su Jinyao glared at him, this time she shook off his hand fiercely and rushed out.

But after hearing Gu Xuebin (shēn) laugh and say, "Since the family is so busy, I don't need you to accompany me in the medicinal bath." I'm so bored in the bucket, and I want to talk to you. ”

"you, who's talking to you. Don't be ashamed. Su Jinyao lowered her head, picked up a stone and smashed it. However, the quasi-head of her hand was high, and the strength was deliberately a little smaller, and the stone fell in front of Gu Xuebin's toes.

Su Jinyao took advantage of Gu Xuebin's kung fu to look down at the stones, and had already run into the bamboo forest and disappeared. She ran home almost all the way with a red face. When I arrived at the village, I stopped to catch my breath and eased the flush on my face. before going home.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, before he entered the door, Xiao Cheng'er greeted him, pointed to the side, and said to Su Jinyao: "Second sister, Aunt Niu and Uncle Siping are back with a mason, let you come back and have a look over there." ”

As soon as Su Jinyao turned her head, she saw a few people standing a little further forward at the other end of the courtyard wall of their house. Just now, Su Jinyao only cared about going home with her head bored, and she didn't look over there. Looking at it now, I can see that there are (chūn) Niu and Siping, as well as Sophie. But Sophie stood there with a blank expression, as if she was very nervous.

Su Jinyao said to Xiao Cheng'er: "It's okay, I'll take a look." And he walked over to that side.

The three people except (chūn) Niu, Siping, and Sophie should be the masons (chūn) Niu found. However, one of the older ones was talking, and it should be the master among these people, that is, the contractor foreman.

As Su Jinyao walked, she beckoned, "(chūn) Niu, eldest sister, I'm back." Is there something going on? ”

Before Niuor and Sophie could answer, the man who looked like a master nodded and greeted, "Something." ”

Su Jinyao walked over quickly, nodded at several people, then looked at the master, and asked, "Master, what do you call it?" Is there any problem here? ”

"Just call me Master Gu. Counting, I'm still Siping's senior brother, and I'm very familiar with it. Master Gu saw Su Jinyao's very clever appearance, and looked at the joy on Su Jinyao's faces, and knew that this little girl should be the head of the family, so he said, "Actually, it's not a big deal." It's just that I've just seen this place, and the soil is thin, and it's full of stones, so it's okay to build a small house, but if you want to build five big tiled houses, you have to dig the foundation deeper. But there are a lot of rocks down here, so how can you dig them? ”

"You can't dig if you have too many stones?" Su Jinyao was so smart that she immediately understood what Master Gu meant. I didn't start work, so I found some small faults first, saying how hard this house was, and how difficult it was to talk about this place, just for money.

Su Jinyao asked again, "What does Master Gu mean?" Can't you cover it here? ”

Master Gu squinted, pretended to rub the soil on the ground with his feet, and said, "I think it's better to move forty steps west." The soil over there is good, even if you set aside a yard in the future, it is good to grow vegetables and flowers. ”

Su Jinyao listened to Master Gu's words, looked to the west, and frowned.

The current location of their Su family is already the place beyond the head of the village, and the backyard is almost connected to the foot of the mountain. Forty paces further west, you are almost at the foot of the mountain. Not to mention that it is further away from the village, and the light is not good with the mountain at your back. Even on a sunny day, the sun does not shine into the courtyard until the sun rises overhead in the morning. Not to mention the (yīn) day or winter, there will be no sun for several days.

In ancient times, lighting tools were limited, but this lighting was very important. If the sun comes in early in the morning and the sun recedes late in the evening, the time difference is a lot, and you can save a lot of lamp oil.

Of course, it is said that it is good lighting and saving lamp oil, but this Su Jinyao didn't understand it. I still heard Sophie chant before, saying that when building a new house, you must make the doors and windows bigger, although you are afraid of the wind in winter, but paste an extra layer of window paper, and add a cotton curtain at the door to solve the problem.

There are also patients at home, such as Su Xiangui, who has bad legs and needs to be in the house all the year round, if the sun is sufficient, he can bask in the sun by the window in the house without going out. However, if you move to the west, you will lose at least more than an hour when you count the time in the morning and evening. Not to mention the cost of lamp oil, if there is less sunlight in winter, it will be cold in the house.

Su Jinyao said: "Over there, it's definitely not good, you can't move the whole house for the sake of good soil quality." And there's a lot less sunshine over there. ”

Sophie nodded when she heard this, "I also said just now, it's too close to the foot of the mountain over there, and the mountain wind is also strong." But Master Gu said that the soil quality is good, so I wondered if it was convenient to grow vegetables? But he didn't dare to agree. ”

Su Jinyao shook Sophie's hand, gave her an encouraging smile, and praised her for not agreeing to this matter easily. Then he turned to the (chūn) girl again and asked, "What did Siping say?" Is it really impossible to dig foundations here? ”

(chūn) Niu looked at Master Gu, and then at Siping, and seemed to be a little embarrassed. But after a little thought, he said: "Siping doesn't mean that you can't dig, you still have to look at the (qíng) condition of the stone below." If it's all small stones, just dig them out. But if it's a big rock, it's hard to say. ”

Su Jinyao understood that Master Gu was Siping's senior brother, and what he said was not unreasonable. (chūn) Niu must not be able to say it to death in front of Master Gu, and this has room to show that she can dig. Therefore, Su Jinyao knew it in her heart.

Su Jinyao also rubbed the ground like Master Gu, but in fact, she couldn't see anything at all, and then asked, "What if our family's current house is demolished and the original site is rebuilt?" Okay? ”

"Yes, yes, the location is good. It takes time to tear down the house, and it takes time to clean up the original site, so you can see if you want to find coolies to do this work, or let our team do it. If we were to do it, the time might be a little slower, but it would be clean. When the time comes, there will be a place for piling and digging pits. If you find coolies to do it, it will be a hard work, and there is no skill, so you can just tear down the house and push out the old adobe thatch. ”

After Master Gu finished speaking, he asked Su Jinyao again: "Little girl, have you thought about it, you really want to tear down the house, this is not something that can be built in a day or two." Where does your family live these days? ”

After listening to this, Su Fei'er also looked at Su Jinyao with a nervous face, for fear that she would agree directly.

Su Jinyao nodded, and asked again: "In this way, it is really unreasonable to push the old house and rebuild it." What if you move to the village? Twenty steps further into the village, will it be okay to build a house over there? ”

Hearing that Su Jinyao had changed places again, Master Gu turned his head to look in that direction, shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it yet, it's not far from your house, why don't I go to explore it now?" ”

Su Jinyao nodded and said, "Then it's troublesome for Master Gu." Help us see if the location is suitable for building a house. ”

Master Gu didn't say anything, took a shovel from one of his companions (shēn), and walked towards the location Su Jinyao had said. His companions followed, and the three of them were busy with shovels and shovels.

(chūn) Niu looked at the three people who were busy over there, and said softly to Su Jinyao: "Jinyao, I didn't expect that this senior brother of Siping would be like this. Siping really doesn't understand the matter of digging the foundation, and he is knowledgeable when he looks at the soil layer, and Siping is deaf and dumb, illiterate, and his master didn't teach him back then. It is estimated that it is also because of this that this Master Gu will talk about the conditions before picking a job. I thought it was easy to talk to an acquaintance. ”

Su Jinyao smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, I already saw what they meant." This kind of thing is normal, and people rely on this to eat. Sometimes acquaintances are not easy to talk to. ”

(chūn) Niu looked embarrassed and said, "Why don't I send them back, and let's go find another mason?" ”

"In fact, it's the same to find anyone, don't find fault here, there are problems elsewhere. In the end, they are still calculating, and we still have to spend the money we should spend. But you won't have to say anything for a while, just see what I do. After speaking, Su Jinyao pointed at Siping and said, "Quietly ask your Siping, how much does his senior brother usually give to help people choose a place." ”

"Oh, okay, I'll ask." (chūn) Niu hurriedly turned her head and asked Siping, and after asking with a gesture, she turned her head and said to Su Jinyao: "Siping said that you don't need money to choose a place." The mason was invited to see the address, which was his job in building the house, otherwise when the construction began, he found that he could not build it, and the loss would have to be compensated by the master. ”

Su Jinyao nodded and said, "That's easy." It's okay, this house is built here, I know it. ”

When Su Jinyao and (chūn) Niu and Siping were settled, Master Gu also came back with his two companions. After digging for such a while, Master Gu's face was also sweaty. While wiping it with his sleeve, he replied: "It's okay over there, the soil is thick and not loose." As long as you don't build a building, you can have a few houses. ”

Su Jinyao smiled when she heard this and nodded. But when he spoke again, he said, "I thought about it just now, and I think it's not good over there." Although it is close to the village, the road to the head of the village is there. The gate of my house is facing the road at the entrance of the village, isn't that the same as drinking the northwest wind? Besides, if it is intercepted on the road, it is called a 'dead-end road', which is unlucky. I don't choose that side, it's not good, it's not good. ”

Master Gu originally saw Su Jinyao nodding happily, and thought that she had agreed, and was thinking about what to say more, so that she could add more money when she built a house. But he didn't expect Su Jinyao to suddenly come to such a sentence, which directly made him hold back the idea that had just come to him.

Master Gu looked at the few small pits that he and his companions had just dug out, rubbed his somewhat sore waist, and asked, "Little girl, I didn't expect you to know feng shui?" ”

"Well, I guess I know a little bit. So if the location is not good or not, you can't choose that side. I'll look at other places......" After speaking, Su Jinyao looked around, looking at the mountains for a while, the ground for a while, and the road for a while, and then pointed to the place where they were now thirty steps to the north and said: "That place (tǐng) is good, it doesn't rely on the mountain, it doesn't cut off the road, and the light is good." Excuse me, Master Gu, help me see how the land is over there. If it's the right place to build a house, I'll choose that one. ”

Seeing that Su Jinyao had chosen another place, Master Gu swallowed his saliva and looked at the two companions on the side of (shēn). The three of them were obviously unwilling to sell this strength. He had to find Su Jinyao again to confirm: "Little girl, are you sure that the feng shui over there is good, where did you choose?" ”

Su Jinyao nodded and said, "Yes, it's better than my family's current location." Excuse me, Master Gu, go and take a look at it again. My family wants to build five large tiled houses, maybe this house will be an ancestral business in the future, and there is not so much money to build a new house all day long, of course, it is necessary to choose a good location, and the whole family will live comfortably, right? ”

Hearing Su Jinyao say this, Master Gu also felt that this was the case. Looking at the Su family's current house, this must be a rather poor family. However, when he saw that there were chickens and sheep in the yard and a horse on a leash, he thought that this family might still have oil and water, otherwise he would not be able to build five rooms at once. However, there was nothing wrong with people wanting to choose a good location and live comfortably in the future, so they nodded to their companions and walked over there with their shovels.

This time, even Sophie saw what Su Jinyao meant, she just pursed her lips and wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, waiting to see what Su Jinyao would do in the end.

(chūn) Niu quietly pulled Siping and asked Siping to keep silent. I'm afraid that Siping will miss the friendship of his brother and help Master Gu.

According to the position Su Jinyao said, Master Gu and the three of them dug again. This time, a few rocks were dug up, but none of them were large, and they were left aside.

After digging several places, it should be explored, Master Gu came back with a shovel and said to Su Jinyao: "There are also stones, but the stones are not big, just use a pickaxe to get up when digging." Little girl, there are stones over there, but if you want to choose there, we'll take over the job. But that's the price......"

When Su Jinyao heard that Master Gu had finally raised the price, she immediately clapped her hands and suddenly said, "Oh, it's too bad, I forgot about the important thing (qíng)." Master Gu, to tell you the truth, I went to Xiaozhang Village early this morning and found Zhang Lizheng to sign all the deeds. If you move the place casually, you have to go to Zhang Lizheng to talk about it. However, you said that the place we chose has a lot of rocks and cannot dig the foundation, what can we do? Otherwise, go back first, and we'll see if anyone else can build a house in the place we have chosen. ”

As a result, it was equivalent to Master Gu and his companions digging a few pits in vain, but Su Jinyao directly said that they were not needed.

At this moment, Master Gu's face sank, and he said to Su Jinyao in a hard voice: "Little girl, it's not kind for you to do this." We came all the way to help you see the address, you can't do it here, and if it's not good there, we will all depend on you. But in the end, the place was chosen, and you said that you had already signed the deed of the house, and said that we don't need it if we don't need it, isn't this a toss for us to play? ”

"Master Gu, you are not kind to what you say. You said that there were stones in the place we had chosen, but you didn't dig a pit or shovel, so you asked us to change places, and you deliberately pointed to the bottom of the mountain, what does this mean? Did we say that we couldn't go to the bottom of the mountain, and then you said that it was not impossible to dig a pit and lay the foundation here, but it would take some extra work? ”

Su Jinyao's snatching of white made Master Gu's face even more ugly. However, Su Jinyao was telling the truth, and he couldn't refute it for a while. Just a long mouth, panting.

Su Jinyao said again: "I chose the place by picking and choosing, isn't that because you tossed us first?" If you want to add money, you can tell us directly, after all, you are working outside, and no one wants to work for nothing and not make money. But you should earn money with conscience, as long as you work well, I will not lose you. If you find fault with me and make our house unsmooth, I have a small idea to do it against you. ”

"You, you girl dare to threaten the master who works?" Master Gu was so angry that he stomped his feet and said this.

Su Jinyao smiled and said, "To be honest, I don't dare to do this, but I can't get used to you deliberately finding fault like this, I'd rather not use you after tearing my face." I don't have to build this house today, and you are not the only masons in this radius of dozens of miles. Today, we will talk about the ugly things in front, and you agree to build it well at the original location, and we will negotiate the price; If you don't agree, I'll help you fill in the holes that you made in vain, and you can leave immediately. I can't afford someone like you, so I'll send you back. ”

After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she made a "please" gesture, which was regarded as sending off the guests.
