Chapter 137: On the eve of the start of construction

"Can't you see it? The heavenly family loves the eldest son, and the people love the eldest son. Wei's favoritism is the most partial to Sanjin and Du Jie, the third room and the second room are only separated by a wall, and it is really hard to say what happened to him in his year. The "prophet" woman spoke again.

"Hey, if my family has such a capable granddaughter, I have to wake up laughing in my dreams, how can I be so ignorant and foolish!" An old woman shook her head loudly, only hating Wei at all costs.

"It's not, Du Mei has a good brain, a lot of ideas, and is a good money-maker, whoever marries her in the future will be a great blessing." Several women echoed one after another, racking their brains to wonder if there were any men of the right age among the relatives in the family.

"Didn't you say that you had a cousin a few days ago, but now there is no news?" The fat aunt, who listened to half of the words, squeezed in to talk.

"Outsiders are unreliable, I think Du Shu of Du Zhong's family is a solid child, and he is really good to her." As she spoke, a woman picked up a needle and rubbed it in her hair a few times, bowing her head to the soles of her shoes.

"That's not a good match! How many years have Du Zhong worked in Du Shicheng's hands, although Du Mei doesn't regard them as long-term workers now, but what they do is not the work of long-term workers. The fat aunt pursed her lips and shook her head.

"Du Mei can build a house by herself at a young age now, and her future creation, I'm afraid she doesn't even know about herself, so don't worry about her." The scrap manuscript came to find Sanjin, and when he heard the scolding next door, he turned around to take a look, and when he saw that it was Wei, he was very unhappy.

"Oh, it's rare for you to come and see the fun!" The women joked around him.

"Let's all disperse, Du Mei builds a house, we are all villagers in the same village, and it is only right to come and help when the time comes." The scrapped manuscript didn't want to stay in the woman's nest for longer, so he turned around and left.

The night fell, Wei scolded and scolded, or those words that were reversed, everyone was tired of hearing them, and the mosquitoes and flies were raging at night, and the villagers gradually dispersed, and Wei was very bored, so he had to go home in disgrace.

Du Zhong and Du Shu were not idle every day, pulling out the straw and wheat straw that had been covered yellow and clear the next year from the haystack, and cutting them into chopped grass tendons with a guillotine. He also went to the mountains and forests of Du Mei's house to pick up loess, which is too clay to grow crops and not flourish, but it is an indispensable material for building houses.

In the afternoon of that day, three mule carts entered Dujiagou, and the carts were full of quicklime blocks. Du Mei had already agreed with Du Huaibing and borrowed the three lime pools in the village, which had already been filled with water by Du Zhong at this time.

With the three mule carts came the dog leftover eight catties and King Kong two eggs, and Niu Er was busy collecting the accounts and assigned them to help. These four people, plus Du Zhong and Du Jiasuo, are just six people, and the two of them have an ox cart and a lime pond.

Du Zhong and Du Jiasuo took the lead and threw lime blocks into the water with shovels, and the water surface suddenly boiled, and a burst of white smoke came out. The dog drank a bowl of herbal tea like a cow, took off his coat, and threw off his arms to work.

The lime blocks are all evenly thrown all over the pool, and the three pools are like three boiling cauldrons, and the bubbles are constantly bubbling and the steaming white gas is like clouds and smoke, and the scene is spectacular.

The children in the village all gathered around to see the strangeness, and the six of them were afraid of accidents, so they didn't dare to be careless, and stared at them and didn't let them get closer. Du Zhong and Du Jiasuo even told the women to be optimistic about their own babies.

The lime pond boiled for two hours before the smoke slowly dissipated. I saw that the lime lumps had expanded twice as much, and had turned into soft, delicate, white slaked lime like grease.

In the next few days, the timber bought by Du Jiasuo came one after another, and he couldn't stand Niu Er's agitation, and Hei Jiaolong sent three carts of sand as a congratulatory gift, and everything was ready only to owe the zodiac auspicious day.

Du Mei specially prepared some gifts to ask for the scrap manuscript to choose the date, he followed the patriarch in the village to carry out red and white ceremonies, and read poems and articles, and most of the people in the village looked for him on auspicious days of the zodiac.

Listening to what she said, the scrapped manuscript hurriedly took out the yellow calendar and deduced it, and set the ground for June 16, that is, two days later.

Du Mei went home and began to clean up, some big things Xu Shi had already received into the big house, because after the start of construction, two meals a day would be prepared, so the kitchen would not be dismantled for the time being.

Just as she was looking around the courtyard and making various plans, Du Zhong came.

"Meizi, the materials are almost ready, the bricklayer and the little worker, have you invited it?" Du Zhong asked.

"Uncle Zhong, how many does this bricklayer need? I've already agreed with the bricklayer that he'll bring two or three people. Du Mei didn't know the bottom of her heart, building a house was a big deal, and no one had ever seen a female doll do this.

"Did he bring a master bricklayer or a small worker?" After all, Du Zhong is older and more thoughtful.

"Oh, I didn't ask." Du Mei was taken aback.

"I'll ask now, it's going to start the day after tomorrow!" Du Mei turned and walked away like a gust of wind

Finish.

As soon as she turned the corner of the courtyard, she collided head-to-head with the hurried Yu bricklayer.

"Ah, Dumay, I was looking for you." Yu Bricklayer looked anxious.

"What's wrong?" Du Mei had a bad premonition in his heart.

"My sister-in-law just came to ask me to build a pigsty for her, I can't shirk it, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to your house to make goods." Yu Bricklayer said apologetically.

"It only takes three or two days to build a pigsty, you can help me build a house first, and then I will go." Du Mei had to discuss with him in a low voice.

"Why don't I build a pigsty for my sister first, and then come to your house?" Yu asked tentatively.

"I'm afraid this won't work, I can't change this day. Can't your sister slow down? Du Mei was a little unhappy, can this day be changed casually!

"That's not good, my sister is very stubborn, if she knows that I do work for you and don't do it for her, she will definitely turn her face with me, I can't just make money, don't want brother and sister love." Yu Bricklayer glanced at Du Mei and slapped his leg vigorously in regret.

At this point, Du Mei had no reason to destroy the deep relationship between brothers and sisters, so she had to retreat to the second: "You said you would bring two or three people, and they would always come." ”

"They're busy, too, and they can't come when they don't have time!" The bricklayer waved his hand impatiently.

Du Mei suddenly had a flash of inspiration, this Yu bricklayer probably didn't want to build a pigsty for her sister, I'm afraid someone didn't let her start work as she wished, and wanted to see her make a fool of herself!

"Alright then, I just found someone else to do it, and I'm about to tell you." Although Du Mei was anxious, he held back and said lightly.

"Ahh How can you do that! Yu Bricklayer was startled, and suddenly said angrily.

"Isn't that just right, you're just too busy to have time!" After Du Mei finished speaking, he looked at him deeply, and turned around and went home without hesitation.

"Hey, didn't you go to find the bricklayer?" Du Zhong, who was helping to clean up, saw Du Mei come in with a bad face.

"He said, he doesn't have time to do it for me!" Du Mei sat on a stool in the courtyard.

She felt that her knees were sore, although she was strong and didn't let the people behind the bricklayer be too proud, but the trick of the bricklayer was too ruthless. If she had been a day late, she would have had no room to manoeuvre.

"How can this person be so unreliable!" The always gentle Xu was also annoyed.

"What can I do?" Du Zhong twisted his eyebrows and said.

"What to do? I had to try my luck in Chenqian Village. Du Mei took a breath, she had already taken ninety-nine steps in this matter, and this last step, she had to climb and do it!

"Plum!" Spring Sprout and Spring Flower were across the yard and called her happily.

"You're here to collect medicine?" Du Mei asked with a smile.

"What's your expression? What's wrong? Chunhua asked with a smile and took the herbal tea to drink.

"What are you going to do in this house?" Chunya watched Xu and Du Zhong go in and out to pack up their things, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

Chen's injury, the old man asked Hao Po to send food and tonic medicine for three days, people's hearts are made of meat, not to mention that the old man was injured in order to save his daughter, but Chunya was infatuated, and also moved her father, although Qian Maofu felt that the old man was older, but finally relieved and responded to this family business.

Now I just wait for Chen's injury to heal, and order a family wine. Since Chunya learned that her father should get married, the whole person seemed to be reborn, and her illness was cured without medicine, and her smile became more and more. Chen often chatted with Qian Maofu at night, and he was grateful to Du Mei.

Because she is about to get engaged, Chunya is inconvenient to go to the old man's house, she often goes to Shewushan with Chunhua to collect medicine, Dujiagou is the only way, she just feels that she is closer to him on the road in the village, and she is very happy.

"You're good!" Du Mei was pleasantly surprised. If this is the case, even if a gold ingot falls from the sky, the spring buds are invisible.

"Well, she's about to get engaged, how can there be any bad reason!" Chunhua said with a big grin.

"You girl, it's as if you won't be engaged for the rest of your life." Chunya is shy and raises her hand to fight.

"Chunhua, there is a bricklayer in your village, do you know each other?" Du Mei was worried about the bricklayer, and happened to ask their sisters about it.

"What are you going to do at home? Fix the roof? "Chen is injured, and the family revolves around it. They hadn't heard of Dume's house yet.

"I'm going to build five big houses." Du Mei said confidently.

"Make... Build a house? Chunhua was taken aback, and her mouth opened wide.

"yes, I'll show you." Du Mei got up and led the spring flowers and buds, and went to the west to see the piles of stones, wood, sand, and grass tendons.

"Oh my god, you're amazing! If I were a man, I wouldn't rob you

Come and be a wife! Chunhua hugged Du Mei and said jokingly.

"It's getting crazier and crazier!" Dummy feigned disgust and took her hand away.

"Seriously, do you recognize each other?" Du Mei found a flat stone and sat down.

"When we came, we just saw the bricklayer from your village enter your uncle's house, didn't you look for him?" Chunhua asked, tilting her head.

"Oh, it turned out to be her troublemaker!" Du Mei snorted coldly.

"What's going on?" Chunhua and Chunya sat around and asked.

Du Mei told everything just now, and Chunhua snorted angrily.

"Don't worry, I'll let my dad quit tomorrow and come back to do it for you!" Chunhua patted her chest and said.

"Your father is a bricklayer?" Du May's eyes widened in surprise.

"Why don't you believe it, my father is not only a bricklayer, but also the head of our bricklayer, and my father is the leader when he goes out to do odd jobs. The bricklayer is lazy, and my father is not rare to take him. Don't worry, now that this kind of dishonest thing has happened, I won't take him with me. Chunhua pouted.

"Okay, I'll go with you and invite your father in person!" Du Mei grabbed Haruka's arm.

"Okay, let's go." Du Mei said hello to Xu, and the three of them said they would leave.

Qian Maolu hasn't come back yet, Chunhua is angry, the bamboo tube pours beans, and tells the Jiang family the cause and effect of the incident first, Jiang is the kind of hot person who doesn't rub sand in his eyes, and he made a decision on the spot and took over the work of Du Mei's family.

Because the work will start the day after tomorrow, the time is too tight, and because the bricklayer Yu rebelled, Du Mei had to get Qian Maolu's promise in person, so she was not in a hurry to go back, and went to Chunya's house to visit the Chen family.

The so-called, 100 days of injured muscles and bones, although Chen's bones are only cracked, but lying still for a month is indispensable. When she saw Du Mei come into the house, she smiled all over her face. Qian Maofu went to the field and was not at home.

Du Mei looked at the injury, checked the second pulse again, and smiled and comforted: "My aunt is recovering well, and it won't be long before she can walk around on the ground." ”

"It's all thanks to you, why are you free today?" Chen's ears and eyes have long been filled with Du Mei's name by the Chunhua sisters, knowing that she is very busy on weekdays, but today seems to be free.

"Don't mention it......" Chunhua chirped and said the matter again.

"Ah, this man is not sincere!" Chen frowned.

"Sister Meizi, my dad is back!" Qiu Guo pulled his throat to report the news.

"Yes, yes, let the second uncle of Chunya go, he has good craftsmanship and has a lot of manpower." Chen nodded repeatedly.

Du Mei said goodbye to the Chen family and came to see Qian Maolu.

"Uncle Qian, I really can't help it, and I'm very embarrassed to look for you in such a hurry!" Du Mei said very sincerely.

"Wherever you say, we eat handicraft food, how can we live too much." The Jiang family had already told Qian Maolu about the matter.

"So you agreed?" Du Mei's eyebrows fluttered, and he smiled.

"It's just that you're really in a ......hurry," Qian Maolu changed his words.

"Ahem, cough, cough" Jiang Shi coughed falsely.

"Daddy!" Chunhua directly screamed unhappily.

"It's just ......," Qian Maolu wanted to continue.

"I've promised Du Mei in person, what do you mean by that!" Jiang glared at her husband with a little annoyance.

"Anyway, you have to promise if you promise, and you have to agree if you don't promise!" Chunhua suddenly felt that she had lost face in front of Du Mei, and said coquettishly.

At this time, Qian Maofu stepped into the door, and as soon as he came back from the field, Chen told him about it, and he hurriedly ran over. Hearing Chunhua's words, he followed and persuaded: "Second brother, give the eldest brother a face, she is our family's lucky star, just promise her." ”

"Wait until I'm done." Qian Maolu looked at his wife, daughter and eldest brother helplessly.

"Well, I'll see where you build the pigsty!" Jiang said angrily.

Du Mei covered her mouth and snickered, and Chunhua and Qiuguo were also amused by her mother.

"What a pigsty, nonsense! I mean, tomorrow I will go and talk to the master's house, and bring back four more familiar people, there are many people and things to do, and I will strive to build it in half a month, and move in a month. Qian Maolu said in one breath, saving himself from being interrupted by his wife and daughter.

"Don't gasp for breath when you talk in the future, and cause me a false alarm." Jiang smiled at the corner of his mouth and glanced at him.

"Daddy's the best!" Chunhua immediately ran behind him and gave him a slap on the back.

"Is that true?" Du Mei was pleasantly surprised, she thought that the house would be built for a month, but she didn't expect Qian Maolu to say that it would only take half a month.

"Manly man, speaking with a spit and a nail. I've promised you, so I'm serious! Qian Maolu said with a smile. 2k reading web
