Chapter Ninety-Five: Intentionally Proposing to Dig the Foundation

"I said you're stupid. [Full text reading. Qiu Se shouted at Jia Xiucai unceremoniously.

"Ahh Jia Xiucai was stunned. I don't understand why Autumn Colors suddenly got angry.

Autumn Colors spun around twice in place, resisting the urge to step forward and kick him twice. said, "Write." I can also write. Do I still need to look for you. I'm looking for you because ......" Autumn Colors paused and continued, "I kindly want to help you make more money." But what do you say? Insulting Sven. I say that money is insulting. Then you set up a stall on the street all day to sell words. Aren't you insulting Sven? Aren't you also collecting money from others? Or do you simply look down on me? ”

Autumn said as she pointed her finger at him in the air. Jia Xiu, who was frightened, couldn't help but retreat. Wave your hands repeatedly. I wanted to say something, but I couldn't get in.

Jia Xiucai saw that Qiu Se finally stopped, and hurriedly explained: "The girl misunderstood. I didn't mean to look down on you. It's just that the girl helped me. If I tell the girl money again, will I not be a favor and will take revenge? Besides, I still owe the girl money. ”

Qiu Cai's anger disappeared after listening to Jia Xiucai's words. That's what he thought? What a "nerd." ”

"What." Jia Xiucai looked suspicious. It turned out that Autumn Color had just spoken.

"It's fine." Autumn smiled at the color of the autumn. I'm a little embarrassed. "I just misunderstood. You. Don't care. ”

"Nope. Didn't care. Jia Xiucai blushed again.

The autumn colors calmed my mind a little. He continued: "I mean I'm going to sell it for money when it's done. After the sale, the two of us split it equally. It just so happens that you can also earn some more living expenses. I can also sell it for more money to build a house. Wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone? ”

"Ahh Can you still sell it for money? Jia Xiucai asked in surprise.

"It should work. If you really can't sell it. At that time, your paper and ink money will be mine. ”

Jia Xiucai thought about it. "Okay. Since the girl said so, then I'll give it a try. Just don't mention the money anymore. ”

"It's fine." Autumn color thought that it would be after the sale of the money. He said to Jia Xiucai again: "Then I'll tell you that story now." You remember it. ”

"Girl, please."

Autumn began to tell her the story of the Lotus Lantern. Halfway through the talk. Jia Xiucai suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Autumn asked puzzled.

"I'll go into the house and get a pen to write it down." At the beginning, Jia Xiucai thought that what Qiu Se said was similar to what he had heard when he was a child. But halfway through listening, I realized that this story was much better than those. He himself was afraid of missing something and offered to take notes.

Qiu Se followed Jia Xiucai to his study. Seeing that they were ready, they told the story from the beginning again. Jia Xiucai recorded it very seriously.

When the story of autumn colors is told. Jia Xiucai also finished writing the last word and raised his head. His eyes were filled with excitement and admiration. praised: "Where did you hear the girl's story?" Unheard of, but touching. ”

Autumn smirks triumphantly. I'm embarrassed to say that I'm also plagiarizing someone else's work. She just instructed: "Jia Xiucai." When writing this story, be sure to write two separate books: we'll sell the first one first. The second book can be written slowly. ”

"Why?" Jia Xiucai asked puzzled. "Wouldn't it be nice to write the story all at once?"

"You just do what I say." Autumn colors are quite a headache. After reading the story once, who will buy it next time. "One more thing. When writing a book, you should write the author's name on it. ”

Jia Xiucai said without thinking: "Since the story is told by a girl, it is naturally written that the girl's name is written." ”

"I don't want to." Autumn color hurriedly waved his hand. "I'm not interested in being a celebrity." Autumn thought to herself that he was famous enough by now. Besides, she doesn't have much idea about being a celebrity.

Qiu Se thought about it, her eyes lit up, and she said to Jia Xiucai: "Just write your name." You should have an alias or something. Maybe a gentleman who sees that your article is well written and wants to accept you as a disciple. ”

Jia Xiucai's face turned red. The girl laughed. I couldn't help but look forward to it.

The two agreed on some more details. Qiu Se took the red paper written by Jia Xiucai and said goodbye.

"Autumn girl, rest assured. I'll be sure to hurry up and write. Before leaving, Jia Xiucai reassured.

"Okay. That's probably the story. As for how you polish it, it's your business. Anyway, the writing should be more beautiful and attractive. It's best to intersperse some words that are more easy to say and make sense. ”

Jia Xiucai was stunned. Some don't understand what exactly the autumn color requirement means. But he still nodded in agreement. "Rest assured, girl. I'll definitely do my best. ”

"Then it's settled. I'll go first. Qiu Se waved at Jia Xiucai and turned to leave.

When Jia Xiucai returned to the study, he found that Jia's mother was holding the hand he had just written.

"Mother." Jia Xiucai walked to Jia's mother's side. Look at these manuscripts with her.

Jia Mu wiped her tears. "Li'er. It's a touching story. This autumn girl is really talented, I don't know where she heard this. ”

Jia Xiucai shook his head. "The son focused only on the books of the sages. I've never heard of any of these gossip. Haven't you heard of it? ”

"When I was a child, I also heard my grandmother speak some scripts. But I've never heard of this. Jia Mu shook her head. He said to Jia Xiucai with a smile: "Pity." Although this autumn girl is too important to money. But if you really marry her. The situation at home will be much better. When the time comes, you won't have to worry about going to the capital to catch the exam. ”

Jia Xiucai's face turned red again. A little shy. "Mother, what are you thinking? The autumn girl just asked me to polish my pen. ”

Mother Jia patted her son amusefully. "If she hadn't been interested in you. Why did they come to you twice in three days? That's not good for her reputation. Listen to my mother about this. My mother is a passer-by. Wait a few days to have the money. Buy some sugar. Mother makes a few steamed cakes and you send them to her. ”

"Mother. Isn't this a private gift? Jia Xiucai was in a hurry.

"You're so stupid." Mother Jia hated that iron could not be steel, and nodded her son's forehead. "I gave her the steamed cake. You're just helping to get it. It won't be your turn to give or receive privately. You know where the girl's home is. When my mother's health is better, I will find a matchmaker to propose. ”

Jia Xiucai was taken aback. "Mother."

Jia Mu looked at him strangely. "What's wrong with you. Don't you like her. Then you also took the initiative to pay back the money and lure her to the house. ”

"It's not." Jia Xiucai lowered his head. Rub your toes against the floor.

"That's what I like."

"Not really."

"What the hell is going on here?"

Jia Xiucai thought about it before saying slowly: "I just think." Autumn girls are a little too much. Kindness. It's tough. ”

"Tough."

"Yes." Jia Xiucai told the story of injuring Ding Sifu with a stick in the autumn colors on Ronghua Street that day. And again: "And." Autumn girls are good. It's just too tossing. It is better for women to teach their husbands and children at home. ”

After listening to her son's words, Jia's mother also fell silent. The joy is gone. After thinking for a while, he said, "Then I'll take the time to visit." Don't have something hidden at home. ”

Jia Xiucai nodded. "Yes. It's good for the mother to call the shots. ”

The other side. Autumn color has found another way to make money. Very good feeling. On the third day, she went to Linwan Village with Ding Dafu.

"Brother Ding. I consulted with the villagers. There is no problem with building a house package for the village. If you want to finish it within a month, the money may be higher. "As soon as we met. Village Chief Huang couldn't wait to tell Ding Dafu about the results of the discussion.

Mention money. Ding Dafu smiled awkwardly at Village Chief Huang. Look back at the autumn colors.

"Village Chief Huang. How much money is going to be asked for in the village. Autumn Colors asked.

Village Chief Huang glanced at the autumn colors. Look at Ding Dafu again. Seeing that he had no intention of objecting. Then he said, "Why do you get eight taels of silver." ”

"Ahh Eight taels. That's too much. As soon as Ding Dafu heard this, he stood up from the side of the kang.

"Dude. Sit. Sit. Village Chief Huang beckoned Ding Dafu to sit. While pushing the tobacco basket in front of him in front of him. said, "Brother." The price is not much. You count. Thirty a day for one person. It's 900 wen a month. You can't just build a house by yourself. ”

Ding Dafu sat down and stood up again. asked anxiously: "Didn't you say twenty wen a day?" Why is it thirty again. ”

Village Chief Huang looked at the autumn colors in surprise. "Didn't your daughter say that? Regardless of the meal. ”

"Big girl." Ding Dafu looked at the autumn colors.

Qiu Se leaned over to Ding Dafu and whispered, "Dad." My mother can't cook. ”

Village Chief Huang saw that the father and daughter of the Ding family no longer objected. He continued: "I have found you four who know how to do some masonry. Thirty wen a day. The rest of the odd jobs and blanks are made by the village elders. The wages can be cheaper. ”

"Okay. Just do what the village chief says. But the house has to be built well. And also. I can only give two taels of this money first. I don't have that much money in my hands now. I have to buy wood and stone. Autumn color opened his mouth before Ding Dafu.

Village Chief Huang glanced at Ding Dafu. Seeing that he didn't mean to scold the autumn color. I knew that he meant the same thing. After thinking about it, he finally nodded. "Also. If it's decided. I'm going to call someone right now. Explain it yourself. ”

"No, you don't." Autumn Colors shook her head. "Let's go to the foundation together."

"It's fine." Village Chief Huang extinguished the cigarette stick and took the Ding family's father and daughter out of the door. Walked around the village. After finding all the four people who built the house, he went to the field under the hill.

In the autumn color, I saw that the wild grass in the field was gone. Hurriedly asked the village chief what was going on.

"I want you to build a house. The weeds get in the way. So he asked the children in the village to cut all the grass. Huang Village Chief said.

"Thank you so much, the village chief." Autumn didn't expect the people in this village to be so enthusiastic. Before I even said it, I took the initiative to help myself with my work.

"From now on, they will all be from the same village. What are you doing like this? Huang Village Chief said.

The one named Gan Qiang, who came to work with him, seemed to be the leader of the four. Quite sleek. He nodded his head along with him. "Yes. If there's something, it squeaks. ”

The group finally came to the grassless wasteland. Autumn Colors took out the drawings and compared. discussed it with Ding Dafu and a few people. Finally, the location of the house was drawn. I drew it roughly with a stick.

"This big brother of the Ding family. How did you build two houses? Not yet in a yard. Gan Qiang scratched his head and asked puzzled.

"That one is ......," Ding Dafu was interrupted just as he wanted to say that it was autumn.

Autumn colors steal the conversation. "Uncle Gan. Cover it early, save it later, and then build it. ”

"Huh." Gan Qiang also understands that people are not willing to say it. And he asked no more.

The last few men used the shovels they had brought to dig up the painted foundation. Autumn saw that she couldn't help. After saying hello, he went back to the dock alone.
