Now she has not changed much except for the bizarre belly, while Liniang is bloated all over, and at night, her feet cramp. Whenever this happens, Doe touches her belly, but fortunately, she has no other problems except for her big belly and a little bulky, and she doesn't even have the pregnancy reaction she should have.

In mid-to-late March, the greenhouse has been put away and no longer serves food. The people who were originally hired were all put into the process of clearing the wasteland. In terms of silver, except for Dacheng, everyone else follows the public.

Du Yi had to listen to Erlang and Ngawang and others report the situation every once in a while. In March, when people spent most of their busy lives, the Liu family's house was beamed and completed. Among them, Du Yi still asked Liu not to eat and let them go back to eat, which was also thirty wen a day.

As the firecrackers sounded, Liu Dazhu said: "It's been a hard time, and in five days, our Liu family will be happy to move, and everyone will come over to be lively!" ”

No one has built a house in Liujia Village for several years, let alone a house that occupies six acres of land. Hearing Liu Dazhu's words, everyone smiled and nodded in agreement.

Although there is a lot of money to work in the Liu family, there are a lot of people in each family and a lot of expenses. Just after the New Year, it was the time when the green and yellow were not accepted, and the family was not willing to entertain them with delicious food and drink every day. Now that I heard that the Du family wanted to warm the house, I was naturally very happy.

"This is natural, then let's go first, come over in a few days!" After everyone was polite to Liu Dazhu, they went home. But when I left, I was still thinking in my heart that I wanted to help open up the wasteland.

I heard that the mountain was already halfway open, and many people from other villages came to help. The people of Liujia Village, although they didn't want Du Yi's money to be earned by outsiders, saw that they were about to sow seeds in April, and they also understood the concerns involved, so they gave up instantly.

Although Du Yi is pregnant and will give birth soon, she is still an unmarried girl in the end, and it is really inconvenient to meet outsiders. Because of this relationship, after everyone dispersed, Liu helped Du Yi to the new house.

Du Yi walked around the new house and was very satisfied with the size of the area and the layout of the house. Originally, I was still a little worried, but I completely let go.

"Mother, it's only picked up this day, is the five days that my father said enough? I see that this mud embryo hasn't dried yet, it should take half a month, right? Doy reached out and touched the mud wall outside the house, frowning.

"If it doesn't rain, it shouldn't be a problem. The walls are so rammed and the eaves are wide that they can't get wet even on rainy days. ”

Du Yi deliberately asked people to extend the eaves one meter outward, although it is a mud room, but each room is an independent room. Between the houses, there is a cloister, and the roof is made of green tiles.

Of course, this is the main house, the lower house, which is relatively simple. In each room, there is a large kang coiled to facilitate the sleeping of a few more people, and the roof is made of black tiles.

In addition, the stables and chicken coops are built in the backyard. In each room, a large pit is dug in the house, and the direction of the pit leads to the garden outside. Of course, there is a manure pit under the garden. In the bathroom of the room, there is a special place for incense above. This is to prevent the smell inside, and it is specially used for incense when the time comes.

In addition to these, there are two places dedicated to drying grain, one large and one small. The purpose is to prevent the rainy days during the autumn harvest period, and the recovered grain will have no place to dry it at that time.

This place, which is also a place for entertaining guests on weekdays, can be called a meeting room. The roof is in the shape of a herringbone and is about a meter higher than the rest of the house, and it is divided into two floors.

The two layers are still separated by wooden planks, and if it rains, just spread the grain evenly. The upper floor, with a vent at the heights.

The kitchen and dining room are in the same room, but separated by a mud wall. Du Yi said that this winter to eat, there is no need to serve it back and forth, and the kitchen is not afraid of cooling down so quickly when there is heat.

After a round around, Doe was a little tired, so he found a place to sit down.

"Mother, the cost of this house is more than the money I gave you, right? Do the math of how much you are missing, I'll give it to you! After turning around, Du Yi deeply felt that he had given too little before.

"It's enough, it doesn't cost a lot of money, and there's a lot leftover."

Liu's words surprised Du Yi: "How is it possible, where is there any silver left in such a big house?" ”

"Nothing other than the roof tiles and the mud embryo cost nothing. The wood is from our mountain, so a large part of the silver is saved here, and the silver of the tiles is enough. Besides, there was so much timber on the mountain at once. Your second brother and the others sold all those big pieces of wood, except for their own use, to Boss Yu, and they could sell them for a lot of silver. ”

At the beginning, there were more than seventy taels left on Liu's side, and when she saw the picture drawn by Du Yi, she also felt that it was not enough. But the timber on the mountain behind really sold a lot of silver, and the wood was not small, and the price was different according to different trees, and finally it was sold for more than 100 taels, and Liu now has more than 50 taels of silver left in his hand.

Du Yi was stunned, she had thought that the wood on the mountain would be sold for silver, but now she had completely forgotten about it. Then she patted her brain and muttered: "No wonder people say that being pregnant is stupid for three years!" ”

"Yiyi, what did you say? Mother, there are still more than 50 taels of silver left here, you take it back. I don't think there is a way to do it now, just the expenditure, all kinds of expenses, more and more money spent, I can't calculate it. If not, let's find a bookkeeper to come back? ”

Large households will have a special account room. The Liu family was originally a farmer, and there was nothing unclear about it, so I immediately felt that it was not necessary.

But now the people who open up the wasteland are registered every day, and they have to receive silver every ten days. The fruit trees and grain seeds on the mountain, as well as the expenses such as eggs and vegetable seeds that I bought before, plus the income from selling the last vegetable crop in March. Indoui is based on the principle of settling accounts once a month, and these accounts are not yet in her hands. In addition, there are more places to spend money now, and she can't go out, so it is inevitable that there will be some negligence in some places.

"Mother, no need. During this time, I kept notes by myself, and when it was time to give birth, I would teach Peach Blossom to keep accounts. ”

At present, Peach Blossom and Qiao's are in charge of the shop together, and the accounts are naturally done by two people. Du Yi saw that the two of them were becoming more and more familiar with this piece, thinking that they were going to give birth and confinement next, so naturally they couldn't touch these, so he had the heart to cultivate the two of them.

"Can Peach Blossom work? She can read a few words, and I don't think there are as many tigers as my family. "Now he is a little tiger who is a little Zhengtai, and he is reciting the three-character scripture every day. As for the books, Du Yi asked Yu Ziheng to help buy them.

"It shouldn't be a big deal, isn't it still me? Okay, mother, you don't have to worry about this. When the second brother and the others come home in the evening, I will call everyone and write the current accounts. As for the silver in my mother's hand, I will keep it first, doesn't this still have to be feasted? ”

Liu sighed, according to Du Yi, if you want to turn over the book and earn money, when will you have to wait? Could it be that the poisonous woman of the Du Ling clan has been dominating the property of Du Mansion?

On March 28, the weather was getting warmer and warmer, and people took off their heavy coats and now wore three thin shirts. The new house of the Liu family is full of people coming and going, and it is lively.

Since childhood, the Liu family has lit firecrackers, and Liu and others have either hugged rice, or carried brooms, or carried bamboo lanterns, and a group of people went to the new house.

In the new house, Du Yi was supported by his younger brother and leaned against his own room. There were all kinds of sounds outside the door, Qiao Shi and others in the kitchen were helping to fry popcorn, only to hear the banging sound in the pot, so it was not lively.

After a while, I saw Liu helping Liniang over: "Yiyi, you and your sister-in-law are staying in the house, there are many people outside, so don't come out." ”

Du Yi nodded, the house moved, and she didn't go with her to join in the fun. In the eyes of outsiders, this is the Liu family's house, and as a daughter with a foreign surname, she has a big belly, so there is no need to step forward.

Xiaohuzi, the child is very energetic, and when he heard that he was going to move to a new house, he kept bouncing and jumping, and he never stopped. At this time, I gathered in the kitchen, and the steward asked for popcorn.

"Sister-in-law, you rest for a while, and when the second brother is not busy, you can go back to the house." Doe was going to wait for a while and buy a maid to serve.

Her belly is about to be eight months, and Liniang's is almost the same as her, and the Liu family and Zhaodi will definitely not be able to take care of it at that time. It would be nice if I could find an old mother.

"Hmm!" Liniang's eyelids have already begun to fight, the lights outside the new home are bright, and people in the village come and go, just to warm the house.

Listening to the voices outside, my heart slowly began to warm. looked at Brother Zhao, who was napping next to him, and said, "Brother Zhao, you go and rest first, there is also your house in this house, and now you don't need to serve here, and I am ready to sleep." ”

When Brother Zhao heard that there was her room, he was stunned, and then his eyes turned red, and he stared at Du Yi a little blankly.

"Sleep, when the day comes, it will be very busy!" After Du Yi finished speaking, he glanced at Liniang, who was already asleep on the bed, and slowly lay down. Secretly attached to my heart, fortunately, this kang plate is big enough.

Just after the hour, the voices outside became more and more lively.

"Peach Blossom Girl, your life is much better now, congratulations!"

"Sister Peach Blossom, your family is so big!"

"Brother Erlang, this house is really magnificent, look at this big mahogany table, it cost a lot of silver, right?"

……

Most of the people outside the door are from Liujia Village, looking at the Liu family in their eyes, there is a kind of envy and jealousy in their hearts. When this home was first built, they were all helping, but it was empty, and now looking at the furniture and other things, all of them are on display, and an indescribable feeling in my heart comes up.

During this time, the people of the Liu family had already been numb to these words. Today, the shop is closed for a day, and Peach Blossom and Qiao's are both at home to help.

Those in the village who are old and have sons at home who are not married, are more and more satisfied when they see the peach blossoms. I can't wait to settle her down right away.

Everyone who came carried a basket in their hands, and some put a handful of vegetables in it. There are also a few eggs in it, and there are better ones that put some brown sugar.

When Su Shi came, the basket was filled with two tiger head hats, looking at the fabric was not bad, and the needlework was meticulous, which was a waste of thought. When Liu took it, he was lightly polite, which made Su Shi, who was up and down in his heart, breathe a sigh of relief.

The housewarming at home, the vegetables are leftover from the previous greenhouse. This article is written by. The first meat is a wild animal that was hunted during the opening of the wasteland. There is no need to spend money on this meat and vegetables, and the food is owned by itself. So Erlang went to the town to buy some white noodles that were not available in the small shops and came back, thought about it, and went to the pig king to ask for half a fan of pork. All of this adds up, but it doesn't cost much money.

The people of Liujia Village are very conscious, the women come with baskets, the men carry the tables, and the children carry stools. As for the dishes and chopsticks, they are also borrowed from various households.

The Liu family's banquet this time was invited by the whole village, and naturally there were several villages next door, all of whom came to help build houses before. The women were in the kitchen and the yard, helping to wash and cut, only to hear a burst of aggressive, regular voices in the yard. The kitchen also exuded a strong aroma of meat, which made people who had not eaten meat for a long time couldn't help but take a deep breath and swallow their saliva.

"Hurry up, sir. Miss Du moved today, why don't we have to go over! In the He Ji wine shop in the town, He Cao said to He Chao, who was still in the wine cellar.

Since the beginning of last year's lunar month, Ho Kee Wine Shop has always been in a leading position in the town because of the fresh vegetables. Doe kept his promise and didn't sell the vegetables to any of the town's restaurants. He Cao, who has gained a lot of benefits, must have something to say on the day of Duyi's housewarming.

"That's it, I'll bring two more jars of good wine and I'll go over right away." He Chao was still talking about Duyi's wine in his heart, and when he heard that she planned to make more wine in a few years, his heart was happy.

Before noon, in the relatively empty courtyard of Liu's house, the tables were already set up. There are not enough tables in the courtyard, and there are a few tables outside the gate.

Fortunately, the weather is warmer, and it is not too cold, and if you eat outside, you are not afraid that the food will be cold. The people of Liujia Village didn't eat breakfast for this meal. Smelling the increasingly strong aroma of meat, my stomach gurgling.

Liu set up a table in Du Yi's room, and she had everything here. There are peach blossoms in this house, Du Yi and Li Niang.

Du Yi and Li Niang came here to avoid collision, and Peach Blossom arrived here because they had not yet decided on a marriage, so they needed to avoid suspicion, and even Brother Zhao, who was originally going to help outside, was finally driven into this house by Liu. In the last room, there were just four of them.

The dishes have been served one by one, just waiting for Liu Dazhu and Liu, the two husbands and wives, to open their mouths. At this time, there was the sound of horses' hooves outside the door, and the village chief outside the door was afraid that a noble person would come, so he specially arranged for a literate person to sing there.

I only heard the sound of horses' hooves, and came from outside the door: "He Ji Liquor Store came to congratulate and sent a good daughter to two altars." Six pieces of blue color woven dark flower bamboo leaf brocade, six pieces of checkered flower Shu brocade. One box of Lao Junmei, five boxes of rose cake, five boxes of lotus root powder osmanthus sugar cake! ”

The things given by the couple at He Ji Liquor made everyone present gasp. These things they had never heard of or seen before. Sure enough, the people who interacted with the Liu family were not ordinary characters.

"Brother He, sister-in-law He, hurry up and please!" Erlang stepped forward and hurriedly welcomed people in. Liu Wang followed behind Erlang, and he was very familiar with the couple of He Ji Restaurant, and when he saw so many things, he called an acquaintance, and asked people to move the gift list and things to Du Yi's room, and told him by the way.
