"Do you want to find an extra job? Or do you have a small job there too? Du Mei asked again.

"Little worker, I'll look for it, I have someone I am used to." Qian Maolu thought for a moment and said.

"Alright, we'll see you the day after tomorrow!" Du Mei stood up and took his leave.

"Well, I'll be sure to bring someone on time! Never delay the start of the artillery battle! Qian Maolu said with a smile.

Du Mei returned home full of joy, it was evening at this time, Du Ying drove the duck, Du Shu led the cow, and they were followed by Du Shu's native dog Rhubarb, and they came back together.

These days, the duck is fat and strong on the river beach, with white feathers all over the body, like a whole piece of good white jade carving, and its size is twice as large as that of ordinary ducks. The other ducks have gray-brown feathers and wax-stained backs, reflecting the dazzling emerald glow of the sunset.

Du Mei watched Da Bai enter the duck shed with a flock of ducks, she turned to Du Shu who was tethering the cow and said, "Brother Shu, let me tell you something."

"What's the matter?" Du Shu patted the ash on his hand and walked towards her.

"Ming'er, this place is going to be demolished." Du Mei looked around the small courtyard, she had lived in this house for fourteen years, and the small courtyard was encircled, and it had been half a year alone. It will be demolished tomorrow, and she is not reluctant to give up these dilapidated days, but she is reluctant to give up the memories of her father here.

"If the old doesn't go, the new won't come, and there will be a big house to live in in the future!" Du Shu clearly saw the sparkle in Du Mei's eyes, but he could only treat it as invisible, he didn't want to provoke her tears.

"Hehe, that's right, remove the old and welcome the new!" Du Mei smiled, looked up at the blue sky, and forced back the tears.

"I won't come to help tomorrow, you just have to be busy at home, I'll look at the ducks, so as not to be worried about by someone who cares!" These days, the weather is particularly good, and the rice in the fields has blossomed. There was not much work in the fields, and Du Shu spent most of his time guarding the river beach.

"That's what I'm talking to you about. Ming'er demolished the duck shed, and the ducks can only sleep on the river beach at night, and then I will trouble you to sleep there, and I will let the black girl accompany you. In addition, you can check the reed curtain of the duck stall tomorrow and surround it more tightly at night. Du Mei slowly said his arrangement. There is not so much time for her to be sad, and everything is waiting for her to decide.

"Don't worry, black girl, you stay at home. I just take rhubarb, although rhubarb is not as good as black girls, but it is also very human. Besides, Dabai is not a vegetarian, it wants to launch a frenzy to pounce on people, biting a purple pimple. Du Shu said with a smile.

"You bring the black girl, after all, there are more than 100 ducks, it's good if it's not messy, if it's messy, where can you cover it." Du Mei was a little worried, although the ducks at home were used to staying on the river beach during the day, it was the first time they had to stay outside at night, and they had to be stocked outside for more than ten days in a row.

"The walls of your courtyard are already low, and if Ming'er breaks the west side to build a house, there will be no defense in this house. Besides, the stones and timber are piled up in the west, and thieves must be guarded against at night, and it is definitely not possible without a black girl! Du Shu pointed everywhere and said with a worried face.

"That's... That's fine. Du Mei thought about it, after all, the family is full of female dependents, if something really happens, no one can resist it. In this way, she will not argue with him.

On the second day, there was no need to invite any outsiders, except for the big house and kitchen connected to the east, the rest of the utility rooms and duck sheds in the courtyard were demolished by Du Zhong and Du Jiasuo.

Today, Du Mei came back from the market early, she returned home, and sent the dried bitter gourd, honeysuckle, and lotus leaves to the eldest girl's house.

"......, yes, that's it." Du Mei taught the big girl to make tea by hand.

"Sister Meizi, you don't have to teach me." The big girl blushed and said.

"I'm not afraid of the disciples of the church, starving to death Master, what are you afraid of?" Du Mei laughed at her for being timid.

"Sister Meizi, I just need to follow you as a helper. You sell vegetables, tea and ice, I follow you, you have to be busy at home now, I will also follow the family to help, why do you teach me this! The eldest girl said sincerely.

"Our stall is not only selling tea, but also helping Brother Niu sell ice, if we are all out of business, where can Brother Niu find someone to go to, besides, Master and Master also need money to see a doctor, selling ice earns a lot, but the time is short, you don't give up the money to others."

On the days when I am not there, you can make herbal tea by yourself, and you must grasp the daily amount. I don't have time to deliver it in the morning, so you can pick it up and go to the market instead. You keep the money from the sale, if you want to give a little to the second stunned, you can make your own decisions. Bing's salary is still according to the original share, and I and the two stunned people should not take it back, and send it to the shopkeeper of Yunshang Embroidery Village Xiaoye for safekeeping. Du Mei was thorough in all aspects, and explained the arrangement of the matter in detail to the eldest girl.

"Sister Meizi, why do you believe me so much!" The big girl was a little excited, and her voice was raised.

"Silly girl, since I worship Master, I treat you as my own sister, can't I still trust you?" Du Mei touched her head and said with a smile.

"Sister Meizi!" The eldest girl suddenly threw herself into Du Mei's arms.

Over the years, her father and mother have fallen ill one after another, her sister is small, and the eldest girl has been struggling like an adult.

"Okay, at most twenty days, at least half a month, the house can be built, and then we will still do business together." Du Mei hugged her and whispered comfortingly.

Leaving the eldest girl's house, Du Mei walked by to find Butcher Zhang and asked him to send a pork leg to her house tomorrow morning. Fish are naturally indispensable, and she went to make an appointment to deliver fish tomorrow. In the end, she went to Aunt Fang, Aunt Fat, and Aunt Zhang to ask them to help cook.

In the afternoon, Du Mei drove the ox cart to pull the bricks, and the freshly made bricks had to wait for the air to dry and harden, and the workshop was large, and the sun was very good these days, so Du Mei did not transport it until today.

Du Jialocked at home to cut wood and didn't have time to help, so he lent the family's ox cart to Du Zhong and let him help transport it.

The bricks are hard and heavy, and each trip can transport four or five hundred pieces, and it takes time to stack the bricks on the ox cart, and then it is time to stack the bricks on the west ground from the ox cart, plus the road to and fro, so when it gets dark, Du Mei and Du Zhong only transported three or four thousand pieces in total.

Work is going to start tomorrow, I don't know how much I have to do, after dinner, Du Mei's family turned off the lights early and went to sleep. The black girl lies under the porch, listening to the cicadas chirping.

In the dead of night, a waning moon hung in the dark sky, and with a creak of the door, a sneaky figure slipped out, carrying an empty basket on her shoulder.

Taking advantage of the hazy moonlight, this man groped for the bricks that Du Mei had just brought back, and stretched out his hand to put the bricks into her basket.

Holding it, suddenly, two round black heads and white bodies were exposed.

"Ahh The thief is frightened by the ghost. This place was originally the ancestral home of the old man's family, and the brick thief thought it was the old man's grandfather and grandmother, and his soul was scared out of the body.

But she didn't bark this time, and was forced to be covered by a thick slap into a puppy's whine.

"Don't scream, call again, believe it or not, I'll rape first and then kill!" The man's deep voice was full of warning.

The man strangled the brick thief's chest with his other hand, and naturally knew that it was a tall woman who was subdued.

There was a sound of dressing, and a fire fold lit up.

"It's you, Yanma!"

"Xie goblin?"

When the two of them met in this situation, they whispered in surprise to each other, and had nothing else to say.

When Ma Rong heard what they called each other, he knew that they must be old enemies on weekdays. He let go of Zhou and dressed himself, Zhou looked back to see who it was, and when he saw that he was naked, he hurriedly turned his gaze away.

"You'd better keep your mouth shut, and if there's any gossip outside, I'm not going to be polite to you!" Besides, you're still a brick thief today! Ma Rong's tone was threatening and mocking.

"You...... You're the long-term worker! Zhou saw that the man was Ma Rong face to face, and his voice trembled.

"Yes, it's me, I'm a cheap life anyway, you dare to leak half a word, on Huangquan Road, let's be a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks!" Ma Rong pinched Zhou's chin hard and said viciously. His eyes were red, and he didn't know if he was lust~ fire or murderous.

"No, no, no, I didn't see anything." Zhou was pinched and couldn't move, so he had to lower his eyes and lose the upper hand.

They all didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of alarming the black girl, one is stealing bricks, the other is stealing people, this is going to be passed out, and the Du family is not alive!

The three of them seemed to have reached a tacit understanding, Ma Rong took Xie Shi and left first, and Zhou was so frightened by them that he didn't dare to stay longer, so he picked up the basket and wanted to leave.

The basket was obviously not full, but it seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and the Zhou family was trembling, and she couldn't pick it up after trying a few times, so she took out some of the bricks in annoyance and put them back into the pile of bricks indiscriminately.

At last, tremblingly, she picked up her burden and walked back, but she tripped under her feet, and fell to the trunk of a tree, and the bricks in the basket fell out with a dull thudding sound.

"Woohoo." Alert brunette screams in warning.

Zhou's heart is broken, she

Lying on the ground motionless and not daring to move, the black girl screamed a few times, and when she saw that there was no movement, she lay down again, and Du Mei also blew out the light.

Zhou put the bricks back into the basket in a panic, and he didn't know where the divine power came from, so he took the courage and ran all the way home.

The next day, Du Mei got up early in the morning, last night the black girl screamed strangely, she walked around the courtyard, and found no abnormality, so she went out of the yard to the west to check.

At a glance, it looks like the bricks are messy, not what she did yesterday, and there are obviously dozens of pieces missing. Du Mei looked around, and saw that half of the bricks had fallen in one place, and there were many debris on the ground, Du Mei was sure that someone had come to steal the bricks last night!

The stone is too big, and conspicuous, the average person steals three or five pieces and does not use it, the wood is bundled, one or two people can't take it, and the grass tendon is worthless, and the countryside is everywhere.

Only this brick is small, and if you build a chicken coop and dog kennel, it is enough to have more than 100 pieces. Even if you find out that someone has stolen it, and you don't catch the thief and catch the stolen goods, people won't recognize it, because the bricks all look the same.

Du Mei decided not to say anything about it for the time being, but to think that he was still in the dark. The work of the day is opened, and the catch of the thief at night cannot be delayed.

Qian Maolu really kept his word, and at the beginning of the hour, he brought people here, including him, four master bricklayers, and four small workers, Du Mei warmly greeted them for tea.

I saw a small foreman wearing a broken straw hat, the brim of the hat was low, I couldn't see my face, I just felt very young, but I was ten years old.

"It's hot, this master please drink tea, I make it myself." Du Mei thought he was embarrassed, so he had to hand over a glass himself.

"Bolt, why are you uncomfortable when you go to your own village? You should know Dumay. Qian Maolu said loudly.

"Pillars?" Du Mei asked suspiciously.

"It's me!" Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Du Xuan had to remove his straw hat and reveal his true face.

Sure enough, it was Du Shu, I hadn't seen him for two months, he had become blacker, but he was stronger, and small black fluff appeared on his lips.

"Speaking of which, the bolt is also surnamed Du, and you are still your own family. No, you still seem to be a classmate. Qian Maolu said with a smile.

"We are not only our own family, a class, he is the son of my uncle's family." Du Mei didn't want to say that they were cousins, but she felt that Du Xuan would insult the word brother and sister.

"Oh, you're still cousins. Then I didn't save the wrong person. Qian Maolu said with a grin.

It turned out that Du Xuan was yellow because of the marriage, and he rushed out in anger, and at first wandered around, he was an authentic country bun, and when he went out, he knew that he couldn't do anything except farming.

But he was already angry, and it was not good to go back without anything, so he gritted his teeth and insisted. I have eaten the leftovers of other people's alms, slept on the haystack, and more often, I didn't eat, and I was bullied by some children who came out early to mix.

Later, he was beaten a lot, and he learned to be obedient, and gradually some people took a fancy to his strength, and told him to work on the dock, load and unload the goods, although it was hard work, but he was full, and there was still a place to sleep.

Later, somehow, the leader who brought him to do the work stole the goods of the owner and fled, and Du Zhuan became a scapegoat, beaten to death and thrown into the wasteland.

It just so happened that Qian Maolu took a few bricklayers in the village out to look for work, and met the injured Du Xuan, who listened to him with an accent like a fellow villager, so he was kind enough to save him.

After all, Du Shu is young, and he didn't hurt his internal organs and bones, and after raising it for a few days, he will be fine. Du Xuan suffered so much, and finally realized that before he became strong, he had to be a man with his tail between his legs.

Qian Maolu took a fancy to his diligence, so he left him to do small work in the team, and then officially accepted him as an apprentice to teach him the bricklayer trade.

Because Du Mei said it too late and the time was too rushed, Qian Maolu did not tell the master bricklayers in detail which family to do. In order to thank Du Mei for saving Chunya and the Chen family, he was particularly concerned about Du Mei's building a house, and brought all the masters in the team with the best craftsmanship.

In addition, he brought Du Shuan here, on the one hand, he thought that Du Shuan was diligent, and on the other hand, he still had good intentions to let him go home, so he did not tell him in advance to work in Dujiagou.

When Du Xuan saw that Qian Maolu had brought them to Dujiagou, he was reluctant in every way, but he couldn't, but when he brought them to Du Mei, he couldn't bear it anymore.

"This dead girl, where did she get the money, she can afford to hire four masters, this is to build a big house." Du Xuan looked around, surprised by the changes in the past two months, and he was even more resentful in his heart. 2k reading web
