Chapter 20: Starting a Home from Scratch
Song Qingzhi, as a party of enjoyment, now has money in his hand, and immediately takes a big break from the small courtyard of the Song family.
The roof and courtyard walls and walls are repaired first: the old tiles are replaced with new tiles, the cracks in the walls are patched, and they are still whitewashed.
She also persuaded Chen to lay bluestone slabs in the courtyard and mud-burned bricks on the floor of the house, so that the house was immediately much cleaner and there was no more mud.
Then he found a carpenter and made new windows, beds, tables and chairs.
I found a cottonmaker and made five or six soft winter and summer quilts.
I bought new pots and pans, and made two new clothes for each of them......
In short, I spent all the fifteen taels.
The people of Song Village said behind their backs that the Song family was crazy to throw it like this? I'm afraid I don't want to live this day?
Chen was also hesitant at first, thinking that he should save the money for emergencies, but he couldn't resist Qingzhi's persuasion, and said that the aloe vera was originally dug up and sold by his daughter from the mountain.
And seeing that the home is slowly becoming a home, Chen is still relieved in his heart.
This night, Qingzhi paid the balance of the carpenter's father and son and sent them out, and the project of renovating the home was completed.
After Chen went home, the mother and daughter made black noodles and wo tou, and the family of three had dinner with crispy and fragrant pickles, and the candles were still reluctant to use.
After eating, Qingdou fell asleep, Qingzhi and his mother sat and chatted in the courtyard, and handed the remaining ten taels of silver tickets sent by Ronghua Rouge Shop to Chen.
Chen nodded and took it, and said: "I still have four taels of silver left here for the silver given by the Dong family last time, and there should not be many people with fourteen taels of silver, even in Lishan Town." ”
Smiling, his face was very satisfied.
Qingzhi saw that his heart was tugging, and he didn't mention that there was still only one meal a day at home.
She was a housegirl in her previous life, she likes to live comfortably, and it doesn't matter if she eats it, but the house, mattress, quilt and so on like to be neat and clean.
The fifteen taels of deposit, the Chen family could keep it for Qingdou to marry, but she still spent it.
Although it was the silver earned by Qingzhi, in this environment in ancient times, Chen was not ungrateful that she could do this.
After Chen finished drying his clothes, he turned around and saw his daughter sitting under the moon, and the recliner under her was specially made by Zheng Carpenter, which looked very comfortable.
She didn't know why, she suddenly laughed out loud, and pretended to reprimand Qingzhi again: "Why are you stupid looking at me laughing?" Why don't you go to bed soon? The dew is getting up, and I'm going to catch a cold. ”
Qingzhi agreed, got up and put away the chaise longue and went back to the room.
After the roof of Aoeda's bedroom was repaired and the windows were installed, the night was much quieter, and the noise from the outside could not be heard very well.
Although her new bed is not big, it is soft and breathable with a hemp brown mattress; The quilt covered was also freshly beaten cotton, like a cloud; The dried flowers stuffed inside the pillow are fragrant and soft.
Aoeda changed into pajamas, made of linen, which was very cool and comfortable in the summer.
She lay down and sighed contentedly, looking forward to sleep, in fact, there was nothing wrong with crossing, although the system was useless.
[The host triggers a random task, task content: lead the villagers of Song Village to get rich, and there are rewards for completion. 】
Song Qingzhi: ...... Why should I lead the villagers to get rich? Is it because I scolded you for being useless so you retaliate?
[Random task pick-up remaining time: 24 hours, please consider carefully.] 】
Song Qingzhi: Don't think about it, I refuse to answer.
【……】
Song Qingzhi said bitterly: System, do you still have a conscience? I've spent fifteen taels of silver, why haven't I been promoted at all recently?
[Clothing: 20 points for level 0; Food: Level 1 0 points; Accommodation: Level 0 40 points; Row: Level 0. 】
Song Qingzhi sneered: Hmph, you still have the face to come out, I have so much furniture, why is it only 40 points? I also made two or three sets of clothes, why is it only 20 points?
[Hosts, points are issued according to regulations.] 】
Song Qingzhi snorted coldly, fortunately, he had a good mentality and lived in line with the principles of Buddhism, otherwise he would have been angry with this system.
She fell asleep with her head tilted.
Song Qingzhi has been supervising the craftsmen in the courtyard for a while, and he hasn't gone up the mountain to see Ritsu Zichuan for a long time, and he has only met him a few times when he was fetching water. The Song family has been on the cusp recently, and Qingzhi is afraid that people will see him gossip and be upset, so he only talks to him in a hurry every time and then disperses.
Yesterday I told him that the craftsmen finished their work today, and I wonder if I can see him on the mountain today?
Song Qingzhi thought only about it for a while, then went to the vegetable field and dug out two bushes of aloe vera and put them in the back basket and went out.
Walking past Mrs. Wang's house, Mrs. Wang's old couple was having breakfast, the door was open, and when they saw Qingzhi passing by, they all greeted: "Qingzhi is going up the mountain so early?" Really diligent! ”
Qingzhi smiled and agreed, put the back basket at the door, took out a bush of aloe vera, and said: "Aunt Wang, this seed can be planted anywhere, and you don't need to play with it, when the leaves grow fat, cut it and it will be aloe vera gel." ”
Aunt Wang has heard a lot of rumors about the Song family's aloe vera gel in the past few days, and through the Song Village gossip network, she knew that the little bit planted in Qingzhi Courtyard before was sold for twenty-five taels of silver, she hesitated: "Qingzhi, isn't this okay?" Pretty valuable, right? ”
Song Qingzhi smiled and shook her head and said it didn't matter, she had a bad taste in her previous life, and she liked to watch videos of aunts rushing to pay bills or forcibly occupying square dance venues on the Internet, and she was afraid that Aunt Wang would push and shove her, after all, aloe vera has thorns, so she put aloe vera on the edge of the Wang family's vegetable field and ran away.
Walking to the end of the mountain road, thinking that he could see Ritsu Zichuan, Song Qingzhi unconsciously smiled on his face, and his steps became faster.
Sure enough, when I walked into the pine forest, I saw him sitting in the old place.
Song Qingzhi trotted over, and Ritsu Zichuan got up and smiled at her: "I guess you might come today, and you did." ”
The tails of his eyes were slightly raised, and his eyes were clear and warm.
it! Why do I feel shy?!
Song Qingzhi, who has always felt that being thick-skinned is an advantage, suddenly doubted himself.
Ritsu Zichuan helped her untie the basket and asked curiously, "Is this aloe vera?" You said you dug it in the mountains, how come I have never seen it? ”
Song Qingzhi said vaguely: "It should be very rare and rare, right?" ”
Ritsu Zichuan glanced at her, then smiled and asked, "How do you know that you can take out aloe vera gel?" ”
Song Qingzhi has been asked a lot in the past few days, and said casually: "I was bored at home, and I accidentally found it." ”
After saying that, I regret it a little and feel that I shouldn't deceive my friends, but the ancients probably couldn't accept the settings of crossing and system, right?
The two sat together and chatted, they hadn't been alone like this for a while, and they had chatted for a long time.
It wasn't until Qingzhi said that the sun was already in the west, Ritsuko Kawakata was shocked, and said, "Oops, I missed today's class." But there was no anger or remorse.
Aoeda always mentioned that he was in class, and casually asked, "What class did you miss?" ”
Ritsu Zichuan was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he said vaguely: "It's just those classes, ordinary classes." "Uncle Shen didn't allow him to talk about learning the art of war.
Song Qingzhi didn't understand the ancient imperial examination system, thinking that about Lu Zichuan was studying and wanted to take the Xiucai exam, he nodded.
The two parted and agreed to see each other in the coming day, and Qingzhi slowly walked out of the pine forest and walked up the mountain road before remembering something.
it! He took the show exam to marry Miss Zhu, right?! I don't know why I just feel angry!
