Zhang Lao Er took the two children back to Old Man Zhang's house, and then the family drove the car to pull things back. But no one let Zhang's second daughter-in-law come back, she grabbed things with her mother-in-law's family for a while, and then simply got on the ox cart and couldn't get down.

The house began to be cleaned up at that time, the roof was repaired, and the house was not cleaned up after the fire, and the whole family started to clean it up.

After Shen Fu wanted to come over to live and look at the house, Su Zhi waved his hand and said, "Let's be empty first, and then talk about the spring." ”

The next morning, Su Tong went to the town with Qinghu, and came back in the afternoon to bring back the brothers, who were responsible for cooking later.

The brothers received a tael of silver a month and lived in the east wing.

It is said that the elder brother of the two brothers is a master, and the younger brother is learning to cook, and if he was looking for a job as a cook in the town, he would have an income of two taels of silver a month. Those who learn to cook are provided with food and shelter, and there is no salary.

Xu is restaurant has too much work and is too tired, and the living room is not spacious, as soon as the two brothers heard what Su Tong said about the family conditions, they immediately stopped looking for other jobs. Besides, there are two restaurants in the town, the one that Zhang Lao Er used to make, and now they are not looking for a cook, and their own son is in charge of the kitchen. The other family didn't want to change people, and the two brothers were trying to leave if they couldn't find a job here, but they didn't expect to meet Su Tong.

The eldest is called Da Nianzi, and the second is called Ernianzi, saying that it is because the eldest was born just in time for the Chinese New Year, and the second is called after the eldest brother.

The old man is cold-faced, capable but rarely speaks. The second child is more lively, and on the first day he came, he ran to the backyard to find a pillar to play with when he was not working.

Sister-in-law Wang is now washing clothes at home, sewing work, and managing the family, and she doesn't cook and has no leisure.

In the end, Layue was only responsible for the affairs of the two masters, but she was not so tired.

Su Tong gathered the family together and studied the matter of opening a brewing pot. When you are ready to recruit people after the New Year, you should recruit the brewing master and the people who work back, otherwise when you can't find a job in the spring, you will all go home, and it will be difficult to recruit people after that.

He went out with Qinghu for five or six days in a row, recruited more than 20 people, and greeted Li Zheng and said that he was going to open a pot.

These more than 20 people lived in the house that had just bought Zhang's second family, and within two days they began to level the yard to collect grain. The kid who helped the cook came here to cook a big pot of rice, and sister-in-law Wang also came to help.

She didn't come to help with two meals, and none of the people who did the work were picky, and she also had someone to help cook every meal, so she really didn't need her.

I plan to open a sake brewery in the town in the future, specializing in selling my own wine. discussed letting Zhu learn to do business at that time, so he asked him to watch the shop.

There are more and more livestock at home, and a few piglets have been booked after the New Year, but they are not big enough to catch them back.

Su Tong discussed with Yue'er, and then went out to hire some people to raise livestock on the side of the enclosed house number, so that he would not be mixed with the family.

There are only two small houses over there, and if you don't cook, the inside and outside of the house are all Datongpu fire kangs, and Yue'er let him arrange it by himself.

This brought in another family of five, two husbands and wives with a younger brother and a son and a daughter.

Yue'er was a little distressed: "There are people living everywhere here, where can I go to ride a horse?" ”

Su Tong smiled and said, "It's okay to ride there as a result." ”

Yue'er didn't ask again, Su Zhi just liked her, she was smart and would pretend to be stupid.

After the two of them finished practicing their horses in the backyard, they left the mule there and walked back, Yue'er whispered to Su Tong: "Laneige went to the town a few days ago, and came back to buy a piece of material, and now it is all ready." ”

Su Tong nodded and asked, "Daughter-in-law, can we eat hot pot today?" ”

"Okay, when you go back, you will tell the eldest son to cut the mutton."

He said again: "Let's go to this courtyard first, yesterday Qinghu said that there were more than 20 stones of grain." ”

"Why don't you go by yourself, I'll go back and let Da Nianzi cut the meat."

He clasped her hand and said, "I want you to go with me." ”

She smiled: "Okay, well, with you." ”

Finally, it wasn't so hard and tired when the two of them lived, Yue'er didn't let herself be idle, and while teaching a few children to read, she would also take the books Su Zhi gave her to study.

If she didn't understand, she let Su Tong teach her, and he often snatched the book late at night, and she got into the bed and asked him something he didn't understand.

She said that after Shen Xiangye's accident, she had been wrong for so many years, and now she has to make up for it if she is not worried.

The two came back from the backyard, and Su Zhi discussed with Yue'er: "The guys who burn the pot are idle now, and I didn't dare to collect too much grain at the beginning, so I plan to take them into the mountains tomorrow, and I will go hunting and they will cut down trees, and then there will be no shortage of wood for the family to build a house." ”

"Be careful, and take the night with you."

"You don't have to take her, and Qinghu won't go with me, don't worry, there are so many people."

Yue'er nodded silently, and personally prepared the dry food for him to bring in the next few days.

Yue'er didn't send it when Su Tong left, he left very early, and he got up before dawn. Yue'er wanted to make breakfast for him, and he said to go to the backyard to cook the pot and eat, and the cook now lives there, so he naturally got up early to cook.

This time, after he entered the mountain, Yue'er practiced calligraphy quietly at home, and she studied very hard. She never left behind in the children's classes, and the mule was not taken away by Su Zhi at home, so she went to the backyard to practice for a long time every day.

Brother Ning has been taken by Layue to live in the West House these days, and has come to do it with Yue'er without a shadow at night, and the green fox who lives in the West House lives on the circle kang in the outhouse at this time.

Before going to bed at night, Laneige came over, asked Yue'er for some needlework, and sat quietly for a while before going back.

When he went out, he glanced at Brother Ning in the West House, but he just stood by the kang and watched, without even saying a word.

Ning Ge'er went to bed early, and Layue also packed up to sleep, and when she saw Lanzhi coming in, she hurriedly sat down next to Ning Ge'er, and didn't dare to leave until she left.

At night, I sat up and listened to the window, and Yue'er asked her, "What's wrong?" ”

She whispered back, "Wildcat barks." ”

Yue'er turned over and said softly: "Sleep, clean up the West Wing room tomorrow, and you can live more comfortably with Brother Ning." ”

"Madame, let's sleep first, I'm not sleepy without a shadow."

"Hmm"

Yue'er answered and continued to fall asleep, and she sat there without moving.

In the early morning, Yue'er and a few children were still practicing in the yard, uh, still zamabu. Ye Wuying came out of the west wing, went back to the main room, washed and changed his clothes for Brother Ning, and began to feed him breakfast.

When Yue'er also came back for breakfast, Ye Wuying said, "Madam, Laneige is not here, I don't know where I went." ”

"Why don't you look for it, did you tie it up, or did you go by yourself?"

Ye Wuying shook his head: "I don't know, there is no trace of a fight in that house." ”

Yue'er nodded: "Xu went to the town with the ox cart in the village, and will come back later." ”

Ye Wuying put Brother Ning on Yue'er's kang, and said, "I'll go and ask Sister-in-law Wang to inquire about whose ox cart went to the town today, and Lanzhi didn't go with him." ”

"Go ahead, let my sister-in-law be careful."
