Afternoon

After eating, Liu Liu and Liu Anlu stayed for a while before getting into the carriage and returning to the town.

Li Bai, Zhao Xia, and Zhao Qiaoer also wanted to leave, but they were stayed by Su Jinwan for one night.

Originally, Zhao Xia and Zhao Qiao'er should not stay overnight, but they wanted to know more about the Su family, so Zhao Xia agreed half-pushing.

There were not so many people living in the house, so Su Jin told Su Qiang and them to vacate Su Ying's house for Zhao Xia and Zhao Qiao'er to live in, and Su Ying followed Su Xi to sleep in a room.

It was getting dark very quickly.

At the beginning of the banquet, Su Feng walked out of the house, and the wedding dress on his body had been changed into his usual clothes.

Except for a few children, the rest of the Su family smiled tacitly.

There were not as many people who came in the evening as there were during the day, and only seven or eight tables were seated.

If there are enough people, there is no need for Su Jin's help, and Su Jia has set aside a table for them to eat.

……

At this time, only the Su family and Li Bai's party were left in the hall, and everyone was talking and laughing around the stove.

After another conversation, Su Jin looked at Li Baishi and yawned several times, and glanced at the sky outside, it was almost midnight.

She got up and said to Su Feng, "Uncle, it's not early, let's go back first." ”

Su Feng let out a "hmm" and took out a red envelope from his arms, "This is her intention, you can accept it." ”

"It seems that I still have to accept this happy money." Su Jin pursed her lips and smiled, and then she didn't shirk it, and reached out to take it.

When they were about to leave, Su Qiang said, "Come over early tomorrow morning for dinner, and there is a lot of fish and meat left today." ”

"Okay."

Su Jin nodded.

……

Xiao Qi's house, kitchen

Su Jin added water to the pot, Qi Yunqing lifted his sleeves and raised the fire, and after a while, the dark kitchen lit up.

Seeing that the water was mixed enough, Su Jian put down the wooden scoop and sat next to Qi Yunqing, naturally leaning on his shoulder.

The man subconsciously hugged her waist, and then a few pieces of candy appeared under her eyes, accompanied by his warm and magnetic voice, "Eat?" ”

Su Jin caught a glimpse of the narrowness in his eyes, twisted his waist angrily, and said lightly: "It's not serious." ”

She didn't have much strength, and it landed on the man's waist like an itch.

Looking at her round apricot eyes, the smile on Qi Yunqing's face became even bigger, and he was dumb, "Yes, being a husband is not serious." ”

"Yunqing!" Su Jin glared at him with slanted eyes.

Grandma and her mother are at home, and the night is quiet, and a little sound will be amplified several times.

At this time, the voices of Li He and Li Bai's gossip can be vaguely heard.

Instead of reining in, the corners of the man's lips widened, and her earlobes were red to the tips of her ears.

Seeing her get up, Qi Yunqing stretched out his hand and grabbed her, the smile on his face subsided a lot, but the smile in his eyes deepened, and he said comfortingly: "I know my mistake for my husband." ”

Su Jin's ear flush had just faded, and a warm exhalation sound lingered in her ears, "Giving birth to a child is not a matter of sugar, you have to work hard for your husband." The last few words were deliberately slow.

........

It is the twenty-seventh day of the first lunar month.

After returning from Su's family after breakfast, Su Jin walked to Xishan, and then called Grandpa Niu and them over.

When everyone was almost ready, Su Jin spoke: "The matter of reclaiming the mountains must be put aside first." ”

Then he said, "Grandpa Niu, can you build a house?" ”

Old man Niu immediately understood what she meant, Xiao Qi's family was going to build a house.

He smiled and nodded, "Yes." ”

In fact, the men in the village will build houses, after all, no one is a rich family, and they can afford to hire a housemaker in the town.

Not counting the bricks and tiles, it will cost six or seven taels of silver, and it is better to buy an acre of fertile land with this spare money.

Su Jin said: "I plan to build a house at the foot of the mountain. ”

"Originally, I thought that if you don't know, Grandpa Niu, I will have to go to the town to hire a housemaker."

"Since Grandpa Niu knows, then I will entrust you with the matter of building a house, the salary is fifty yuan a day, and I will show you the drawings later."

Building a house is not easier than reclaiming wasteland, so it is natural to increase wages.

"The girl doesn't need to pay for labor, and it doesn't take much to build a house." The old man Niu hurriedly waved his hand and refused.

Usually when someone in the village wants to build a house, their family also goes to help, and at most it is enough to have lunch.

What's more, Su Jin helped their family so much, not including lunch, they also helped build it.

"If Grandpa doesn't agree, then Xiaojin is embarrassed to trouble Grandpa Niu."

Su Jin probably knew what Old Man Niu was thinking, and shook his head in disagreement.

Seeing this, the old man Niu didn't want to say anything more, but he made up his mind not to charge her wages.

Then Su Jin took the drawings from her sleeve and showed them to everyone, afraid that they would not understand, so she spoke in detail.

The house is different from the houses in the village, it is a small two-story courtyard.

One hall, kitchen, study, two storerooms, latrines, eight rooms.

It covers an area of about two acres, of which the yard occupies most of the acre.

After careful consideration, Su Jin decided to build the perfume workshop in the courtyard, which would be convenient to transport.

After the old man Niu took a closer look, he couldn't help but smack his tongue and said in shock: "Girl, such a big house, I'm afraid it will cost about forty taels to build." ”

This is still his conservative estimate, if he builds furniture later, I'm afraid it will cost fifty taels.

Su Jin smiled, "Don't worry about the money, I'll give it to Xiaobei, what you need, just tell Xiaobei." ”

........

The news that Xiao Qi's family was going to build a big house was spread by whom, and within two days, the whole village was in an uproar.

In disbelief, the house was already being built, and truckloads of bricks and tiles were brought in every day.

Now the people did not believe it, but they also believed.

Some women came to inquire about the windfall made by Xiao Qi's family.

They didn't believe that Su Jin had money to build a house as a small steward.

Li He's head was so big that he didn't open the courtyard door during the day, and others also rested when they saw this.

Early February

The weather is starting to clear and the temperature is gradually rising.

Inside the house

Su Zhao, Su Jin, and Li He did embroidery work around the table.

Su Jin still has Qi Yunqing's underwear in his hand, he has been busy for the past few days, he hasn't touched the needle and thread when he doesn't have time, and he is ready to finish the underwear when he has time today.

Otherwise, someone can babble several times a day.

Qi Yunqing sat on the desk, holding a book and reading quietly.

At this moment, there were one frightened cries after another from the chickens in the yard, and one or two dog lungs were heard.

"Yuanzi!"

Su Jin hurriedly yelled outside the house.

In the next second, a gray puppy ran in with its tail wagging, and finally circled around Su Jin's feet, with a chicken feather hanging from the corner of his mouth, and whispered "whooping" and "flattering."

This dog was brought back by Qi Yunqing from outside two days ago.

Seeing this, she reached out and patted its head gently, and her tone was slightly stern, "How many times have I told you, don't go to the chicken, and if you don't obey, I'll throw you outside." ”
