The kitchen on this side of the main house was idle, Su Tong asked Brother Wang to come and pick it off, the floor of this house was leveled, the wall was plastered with yellow mud, and the white ash was painted twice after drying.

The roof is a shed hung with sorghum poles, which is removed and hung again, smeared with yellow mud and then pasted with wallpaper.

The small warehouse on the north wall still remains, and the door has been changed to the east room, so I enter through the bath room of the east house, which has become the storage room of Su Ji and Yue'er.

The original kitchen was turned into a living room, and a circle of kang was built against the north wall, and a small elm table was placed in the middle of each side of the kang.

There is a large round table in the middle of the hall, so you don't have to nest on the kang when you eat.

In the summer, it is cool when the door is open, but in the winter, it is cold. Brother Wang said that in autumn, he built a hugging building outside the door, and the door opened to the side and did not enter the wind.

Originally, Yue'er didn't agree to change these things, but Su Tong said that there was less work in the fields now, and there were many people working at home, and there was no need to spend money, so she changed it.

Get up early in Layue, uh, it's the nine girls of the Wang family, and in the future, people will only call Layue. I got up early and came to the main house to clean the house, and after a while, the entire main house was cleaned spotlessly.

After that, she took the clothes that the masters and Qinghu had changed to wash, and before she finished washing, Sister-in-law Wang beckoned to start the meal.

Qinghu is always by the master's side, even eating, Layue is going to Brother Wang's house and eating with their family of four.

Ye Wuying was also called to the main room for dinner, but when she saw that Shen Fu didn't come over, she didn't come over, she didn't come over, she ate in Brother Wang's house.

Laneige is special alone, and eats alone in the West Wing.

Laneige doesn't help take care of the children, and she doesn't do the laundry she said before, so she can't keep busy with Sister-in-law Wang and Sister-in-law Layue, who still have three meals a day.

Ye Wuying, a heroine of the rivers and lakes, does not look like a chivalrous man at all, and sent Ning Ge'er to Yue'er Kang, and she went out to help with laundry.

The first afternoon at home is the busiest, and there is not much work after lunch. The men would gather together to chat, drink tea, or eat melons and fruits.

The women also got some food and drink, and they also piled together. This one has a sole in his hand, and the other has a shirt in his hand.

Brother Ning can sit, so he always has to prevent him from grabbing things. Qinghu got him a few small playthings back, and he didn't know how to play, so he stuffed everything into his mouth all day long.

Ye Wuying is a very well-informed person, and the women gathered around to listen to her: "Liu Chunhua is back, and now she quarrels with her and her mother all day long, and once she did it." ”

Sister-in-law Wang said: "I heard from the mother-in-law in the village that Liu Chunhua blamed her mother for the incident, and the wild man was not recruited by her." ”

Yue'er was puzzled: "Aren't you saying that this tun is full of military households?" His family hasn't heard of anyone who is a soldier? ”

No one could answer her question, because no one knew.

Sister-in-law Wang glanced at Layue and whispered to Yue'er: "Lizheng's daughter-in-law mentioned it to me last time, and I didn't dare to agree to it, so I have to go home and ask my father about it." ”

"Huh?" Yue'er was surprised: "Her son is not the same age as Layue?" ”

"It's not her family, it's Lizheng's nephew, who lives next to his house."

Yue'er hurriedly waved her hand: "No, no, what kind of family is that, don't say what's the life, a widow's mother in that family does everything all day long, and there is a sister-in-law who always comes back, so you don't have to be angry when you enter the door, I don't agree with this, sister-in-law, don't tell Uncle Wang, so we can't get married." ”

Layue hurriedly went out with a red face, and sister-in-law Wang nodded: "I think so too, that kind of family is not as large as ours, and my father and mother are not partial." Lao Jiu is big on the side of the pillar of my family, so I shouldn't say anything, and I am not bad with my children, who will give up my daughter to suffer that sin. ”

"That's right, let's find a good family for Layue Ming'er, we can't let her suffer that hardship."

Yue'er also said.

Ye Wuying muttered in a low voice: "Maybe I will marry in the capital in the future." ”

"What do you say?"

Yue'er didn't hear clearly and asked, she smiled: "I said that it would be good to wait for Brother Ning to marry a daughter-in-law when she grows up." ”

Several women laughed at her words for a while, and Ye Wuying thought a lot in her heart, but she didn't say it.

Su Tong told a few men in the outhouse about the life at home, calculating that this year's grain may still not be enough to eat, and the millet has not been planted, so he will have to harvest more in the autumn.

Brother Wang said: "It's also idle at this time, so it's better to open a few acres of land and come out, and get more grain next year." ”

Su Tong waved his hand: "No need to open, the second old man Yang still has a few big houses in this village, just buy it with him after the autumn harvest, they are all on the North Second Festival, and it is easy to serve us even if we have a trip." ”

Shen Fu glanced at Su Zhi and said: "There is a household on the west side of the house number, if we buy his house, we can open it up before and after, and we don't need to keep that road." ”

Su Tong nodded approvingly: "Try to see if we can exchange our current house, and then we won't leave people in the front yard." ”

When Brother Wang heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand: "Then we are not suitable, he has five main rooms, not even a side room, at most there is a warehouse." ”

Qinghu also said: "In this way, his place is bigger than ours, but there are fewer houses, if he is willing to supply us, it is not impossible." ”

Shen Fu said again: "There are two empty room numbers in the middle, why did he want to run aside to build a house back then, does he not like to be next to other people's houses?" If that's the case, I guess we won't be able to change it. ”

Several people felt that what Shen Fu said made sense, so Su Tong asked him to go over to explore the details of the family, but Shen Fu was embarrassed: "The old slave really can't go, the man in that family is not at home, just a mother-in-law with two babies, the older one is only ten years old, and the younger one is even younger." ”

Brother Wang took the words and said, "Let my daughter-in-law go." ”

As he spoke, he called Sister-in-law Wang from the East House to come out and tell her about it. Sister-in-law Wang pondered for a while and asked, "Then what am I going to say?" ”

This family is honest, Su Tong smiled, and said: "It means that our family will build a house next to his house next to him next to it next to us next to him in the future, and we will all be neighbors in the future, so we will walk around first." ”

"Well, okay, I'll go."

Yue'er also put on the heel of her shoes and came out, and stopped Sister-in-law Wang, who was about to go out, and said, "Don't be empty-handed, don't you still have the dry food steamed at noon, bring a bowl over." ”

"Hmm"

Sister-in-law Wang went to the East House to get dry food, and Brother Wang specially sent her out the back door, watching her enter the gate before coming back.

In less than two quarters of an hour, Sister-in-law Wang came back with a red face. Brother Wang greeted him and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Zhang's second daughter-in-law is too difficult to get along with."

Yes, the one in the backyard is Zhang's second family, and the second daughter-in-law of Zhang Lao is naturally the mother-in-law that Shen Fu said before.
