Chapter 201: Let the second room fulfill its promise

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, more than half of the year has passed.

In Dayu Village and even the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, the New Year does not refer to just one day, but from the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve to the fifteenth Lantern Festival of the first month of the second year, which is a continuous process.

After the Lantern Festival, everyone began to work one after another.

Farmers farm, merchants open markets, and workers go to work!

Xia Qiqi was at home for seven days in a row to help Xia Duofu make tables, chairs, benches, and cabinets.

The furniture, which was originally completed at the end of February and early March, was mostly completed in one time.

The construction period is definitely in time, and Xia Duofu can still have time to go to Yang Cai's house to continue to do short-term work.

At the beginning of the year, the first income was settled again!

Xia Duofu smiled happily every day, and became more and more satisfied with this girl's craftsmanship.

Seeing that the year was about to end, Xia Qiqi suddenly felt that he was going to find the Zhang family to fulfill his promise.

Otherwise, as soon as this year passes, her second aunt will find all kinds of reasons to deny and stop working.

Early in the morning, Xia Qiqi carried a hoe and took Lu Jiu to Old Man Xia's place and let Zhang go to work.

Old Man Xia thought seriously for a long time before he spoke, "Qiqi, or ...... Wait for the beginning of spring, and then let your second aunt go? Now that the ground is ploughed, it's not easy to sow seeds! ”

Six days of work, after this is done, I am afraid that the year will pass.

Moreover, no one's work is done in the first month.

Old Man Xia was naturally not willing to let the Zhang family work for Xia Qiqi.

"Spring? Grandma's land in the spring, no longer planted? Or is my second aunt willing to let me not do the work at home, but only do the work of our four rooms? Xia Qiqi asked.

Let Zhang's work for the fourth room in the spring, and Old Man Xia is naturally unwilling.

As soon as spring begins, who is not a family mobilized together.

The dry land must be ploughed and planted, and the paddy fields must also be sown and transplanted, and half of the year's harvest will be pressed on the first half of the year.

People say that if you don't work hard in the first half of the year, your hungry belly growls in the second half of the year.

Therefore, after the beginning of spring, the Zhang family must work in Lao Xia's house!

"Then go ahead!" Old Man Xia said reluctantly.

"Master, I'm afraid what I said won't be useful, and I'll trouble you to talk to my second aunt!" Xia Qiqi Dao.

Old Man Xia thought for a moment before nodding, "You wait!" ”

He went to the second-room room and talked to Zhang about his work.

Zhang was the first to stand up against it.

"Dad, I'm not going! How can anyone do farm work during the Chinese New Year? I'm afraid that girl is crazy! Zhang said indignantly.

"Huh, not going? When I stole people and deducted meat, why didn't I think that if I did something wrong, I would be punished? If you don't go, won't others think that my old man doesn't count? You have to go today, you have to go, you have to go if you don't go! Old Man Xia said angrily.

"Dad, I ......" Zhang wanted to say something.

Xia Duoshou on the side responded for Zhang, "Dad, she goes, she goes-"

Zhang was unhappy, "You're crazy!" Where are you going? Who is working for the New Year? You want to exhaust me, you! ”

"You're stupid! The dead girl told you to work, and you did it well? On weekdays, what do you do in our family? Xia Duoshou reminded in a whisper.

"You mean to make me lazy?" Zhang's eyes lit up.

"You said it?"

"Yes, why am I so stupid, she asked me to work, and I played on the ridge, one moment saying that my stomach hurts, and the other I say that my back hurts! She's not going to let someone who hurts all over her body work, is she?

Anyway, it's only six days, just take it! Zhang thought he was smart, and he almost laughed out loud.

She nodded at Old Man Xia busily, "Dad, I'll go!" I'll be there right away! ”

Zhang's looked impatient, and Old Man Xia was relieved!

"Then you go find the Qiqi girl yourself, she is waiting for you outside!" Old man Xia said.

"Okay, I'll go!"

Zhang rushed out, and said to Xia Qiqi with a happy face: "Qiqi girl, let's hurry up and work, where is Tian?" You take the second aunt with you! ”

"Don't worry, do you want the second aunt to go to a pit and drink water or something!" Xia Qiqi Dao.

"Don't go!" Zhang hurriedly shook his head like a rattle.

She was still worried that she would have no and no urine in the field later, so how could she solve it now?

"Really?" Xia Qiqi asked again.

"Of course! This squatting pit is not talking, you can say it if you want to, and you can have it if you want to! Don't wait yet! ”

Zhang's mouth was talking nonsense, completely ignoring Xia Qiqi and Lu Jiu's feelings.

"Well, since the second aunt is ready for everything, I hope that as soon as I get to the field, just tell me, my stomach hurts, I want to and pee!" Xia Qiqi Dao.

"That's not necessarily, this person has three urgency, and I can't control it!" Zhang said with a grin.

Xia Qiqi was too lazy to reason with Zhang, anyway, she prepared good things and greeted her.

She raised her eyebrows at Lu Jiu and smiled, and Lu Jiu also gave her a knowing smile back.

Zhang patronized and argued with Xia Qiqi, completely ignoring Lu Jiu's hand, which had been behind his back, and he was still dragging a long thorn strip in his hand.

He is tall and strong, and the thorns are hidden behind him, and he can't see it at all in front of him.

The two acres of dry land that the old Chen family gave to Xia Qiqi were not in Dayu Village.

In the poplar ditch two miles away from Dayu Village, the land is good land, but it is not close to the village.

However, it is not far from ancient times.

It's time to take a half-stick of incense, and it's time to go.

It was only the eighth day of the first lunar month, and the weather was still very cold, and there was no new green in the dry land.

However, the two pieces of dry land were messy, and the cotton poles of the previous year had not been torn off.

According to the rules of Dayu Village, if these cotton poles are not torn off before the land is sold, it will belong to the person who bought the land.

In other words, this is Xia Qiqi's.

Xia Qiqi threw the hoe to Zhang's and said to her: "Second aunt, we won't let you pull the cotton stalk, but you have to dig out this land!" Four days, digging half an acre of land in one day! Xia Qiqi said.

"Half an acre a day? You want to exhaust me, you! Have you ever seen whose land a man can dig up in a day? Besides, I can dig, can you win? Zhang said angrily.

"It's none of your business!" Xia Qiqi said angrily.

Zhang glared at her fiercely.

Clasped his hands together in front of his chest, "Then you guys pull the cotton stalks in the field for me first, there are so many cotton stalks, I can't do it!" ”

Xia Qiqi was unhurried, took a pair of gloves and handed them to Lu Jiu, "Ah Jiu, let's use our hands today, and when the market opens in a few days, I'll go to the blacksmith to make a tool, and we'll use it next year!" ”

Xia Qiqi has seen a tool made by modern people to pull cotton poles, a piece of wood, an iron hook on it, put the iron hook in the middle of the cotton pole, and then pry the wood, it is easy to pull up a cotton pole.

The Zhang family on the side, after listening to Xia Qiqi's words, covered his mouth and laughed twice!
