As soon as Chen Linxiao entered the door, he poured a glass of juice and drank it.

Chen Xiaoshu asked, "What do you say about that brick kiln?" ”

Chen Linxiao nodded and said: "Two bricks for a penny, one tile is a penny, I have already told them, at least 100,000 bricks, 5,000 tiles, and I will pull them at any time when the time comes." ”

Chen Xiaoshu nodded when he heard this, and said: "There is also the matter of wood, I have inquired, every household in our village has saved wood, and some families have not needed it in the past few years, so let's pay for it and ask them to buy it." ”

Chen Linxiao sat aside and said: "I inquired with Brother Wang a few days ago, Luo Sanye of Luojia Village has the best craftsmanship as a mason, I plan to go to him this afternoon, this matter of building a brick house, the people in our village do not have much experience, it is better to ask the opinions of professionals." ”

Chen Xiaoshu thought for a while, and said: "There are also carpenters who are also looking for it, building a house and making furniture at the same time, and then you can live in it directly." There is also the matter of wages, I have inquired about the wages around me, what do you think of the 12 Wen a day? We'll serve another lunch at noon, and we'll have to hire two women to cook for me, otherwise I'll be too busy. ”

Chen Linxiao has been running outside for the past few days, and he also has an understanding of the current price and wages, which is very high in Qingniu Town, of course, he has no opinions.

Chen Xiaoshu saw that Chen Linxiao had no opinion, so he took out a notebook and pen to record it, this is still the notebook and black pen in his original bag, and the writing is also simplified, this account book can only be understood by himself and Chen Linxiao.

At noon, Aunt Laifu saw that the time was almost up, so she asked everyone to go home for dinner and continue to work in the afternoon.

Chen Xiaoshu simply made a few dishes, cold tofu skin, scrambled eggs with leeks, and stir-fried meat with celery, and the staple food is white rice.

Two more glasses of juice were poured, and while they were eating happily, they heard a knock at the door.

After Chen Xiaoshu and Chen Linxiao heard this, they picked up the water cup and drank the juice, and then Chen Linxiao went out to open the door, but they didn't expect that the person who came turned out to be Chen Linmu.

"Little brother."

Chen Linmu arched his hand with a smile on his face.

This shocked Chen Linxiao, who had never shown such a kind smile to them.

The so-called weasels are ---- uneasy and kind to the chickens, but what do they have to make Chen Linmu plot, Chen Linxiao and Chen Xiaoshu understood after thinking about it.

"Third brother, is there something wrong?"

Chen Linxiao asked coldly.

Chen Linmu and his brothers and sisters said respectfully: "I am resting today, so I want to come back to see you, little brother, how are you, have you been feeling better recently?" ”

Chen Lin Xiaopi smiled and said: "The blessing of the third brother is now very good." ”

Chen Linmu raised the things in his hand in front of Chen Linxiao and said: "This is the osmanthus cake I specially bought for you from the town, you were not in good health before, and the doctor specially instructed you not to eat these things, now that you are in good health, I specially bought it for you to taste." ”

Oh, I still paid the capital, but I know that Chen Linmu's plan for coming to the door today is not small.

Chen Linxiao took a deep breath without a trace, and said with excitement on his face: "Oh, this is osmanthus cake, I used to hear the third brother mention it, saying that you often eat it, but it's a pity that the little brother and I don't have this mouthful, today I really thank the third brother." ”

Chen Linxiao said and took the dim sum.

Chen Linmu followed Chen Linxiao into the house, Chen Xiaoshu glanced at him, did not speak, Chen Linmu glanced at the food on the table, and swallowed silently, he is not having a good time these days, he has not opened meat for a long time.

Having said that, it seems that this Chen Linxiao is really making a lot of money, and now he eats so well.

Chen Xiaoshu ate the last bite of rice into his mouth, then pretended not to see Chen Linmu's eyes, and took the meal, although Chen Linmu was unhappy, but felt that these were nothing compared to his purpose today.

Chen Linxiao patiently played Tai Chi with Chen Linmu, and he didn't talk about Chen Linmu selling Chen Xiaoshu, as if there was no such thing at all, but greeted Chen Linmu with a smile.

This made Chen Linmu feel uneasy, before he came, he was ready to be scolded by Chen Linxiao and Chen Xiaoshu, and when the time came, he would cry again, say something unavoidable, and say something like last resort, he was still confident that Chen Linxiao would forgive him.

After all, how can a little child's daughter-in-law be compared to his own brother?

But I didn't expect Chen Xiaoshu and Chen Linxiao to not mention this stubble at all, could it be that they didn't care at all.

Chen Linmu thought of this, and couldn't help but say tentatively: "Little brother, I was not good at the beginning of the third brother, I lost my sense of proportion for a while, and hurt our brotherhood, and now I can't regret it, you, do you still blame me?" ”

Saying that, Chen Linmu looked at Chen Linxiao with a look full of expectation.

But he didn't expect Chen Linxiao to wave his hand indifferently and said, "What does the third brother mean by talking now, it's all over." ”

And he said no more.

Chen Linxiao snorted coldly in his heart, could it be that he could cover up his crime by saying two words of good regret?

At the beginning, he asked Chen Xiaoshu's life to exchange for silver, how could he have a little brotherhood for himself and his original body at that time.

It's disgusting to say these things now.

Chen Linmu thought that Chen Linxiao didn't care when he said this, so he put his mind at ease and sighed: "Since my father and his old man left, the life of our two brothers has become more and more difficult. ”

As he spoke, he wiped the corners of his eyes, "I really miss when my father was still there." ”

Chen Linxiao believed that he was sincere, after all, when Chen Baosheng was still there, he was obedient to him.

Chen Linmu saw that Chen Linxiao also seemed to have a relative, so he continued: "Now that the eldest brother and the second brother are in charge, I can't count anything in this family. ”

Chen Linxiao smiled when he heard this: "The third brother is wrong when he says this, who doesn't know that the third brother is a great talent, and he will be an official in the future, the eldest brother and the second brother only have a stammering part with you, how can they treat you badly." ”

Chen Linmu smiled bitterly: "Little brother, you are still young and don't understand, although the third brother I have the confidence that filial piety can be admitted to the Xiucai in one fell swoop, but the vision of the eldest brother and the second brother is really short, only looking at the expenses I spend on studying every month, but I don't think about how much benefit I can bring to the family if I pass the examination, Lin Xiao, in fact, I have always felt that only our two brothers are the most similar in this family, you have been smart since you were a child, if it wasn't for the weak body when you were a child, you didn't go to school, you will definitely not lose to me now." ”

Chen Linxiao smiled, what does this mean, my vision is not short, I should pay you for your studies.

Chen Linmu continued: "Little brother, don't you know that the third brother and I are having a hard time now, I am reluctant to eat or drink in the town academy every day, and I have a penny to buy books to read, so I think that I must take the test to gain fame, fulfill my father's old man's last wish, and glorify my ancestors." ”

Chen Linxiao also sighed and said: "The third brother has great ambition, not like this ordinary ordinary person in my life." ”

Chen Linmu shook his head when he heard this: "Little brother, don't say that, you are not ordinary, you see that you have made so much money in business now, if your father and his old man know, he will definitely laugh at Jiuquan, do you remember, the most words that my father said before his death was that our brothers must support each other and share the same spirit, after all, we are the closest people in the world." ”

Chen Linxiao's eyes also turned red when he heard this, and said, "How could I forget? My father's greatest wish before his death was that the third brother could be an official, glorify your ancestors, and ascend to heaven with our Chen family. ”

Chen Linmu's face stiffened, and he secretly scolded Chen Linxiao, a mud-legged man, who didn't know a single word, and learned how to use idioms indiscriminately, but he was willing to compare himself to a chicken and dog, and he couldn't care about it.

But seeing that Chen Linxiao was very moved now, Chen Linmu said: "Little brother, in fact, I have something to ask for today, if I want to continue to get silver from the eldest brother and second brother, I don't know if you can lend me some silver to study, and when my brother and I come out in the future, I will definitely not forget your kindness." ”

Chen Linxiao frowned when he heard this: "Third brother, it's not that I don't help you, I have earned some money during this time, but I have already discussed with Xiao Shu that we will use this money to build a house, after all, you have seen where we live now, if we don't repair it, Xiao Shu and I will freeze to death here in winter." ”

Chen Linmu couldn't laugh when he heard this, this house is broken, but where is it going to freeze to death, the house they lived in in the Chen family before was not much better than here, how could they live when they were not in good health before, but now they can't live when they are in good health.

This Chen Linxiao is as ignorant as Chen Linying and Chen Linwei, and he is blind.
