Chapter Thirty-Six: A New House Goes on Fire

In the end, this meal was comfortable, the village chief and Master Du put down the bowl, wiped the corners of their mouths and said: "Jinxiu Niang, since you want to start work as soon as possible, then Master Du and I will go to the village to gather people first, if there is no accident, we can start work tomorrow." ”

"Then thank you to the village chief and Master Du, you are experts, so please trouble the two of you to worry about this matter for me." Leng Yue said with a satisfied jaw.

"It's not troublesome, it's not like we didn't get paid." Master Du is also a cheerful person, where can I find this kind of life in this winter day when I can meet someone who builds a house and doesn't delay the bill?

To know how sad it is to take over work every year, when it comes to the Chinese New Year's Eve, it is a sad thing to go to other people's homes to collect debts, seeing that people do have difficulties, they can't bear it, people have money just don't give, you can't help it, such a live job, he Lao Du is still the first time to meet, and he naturally has passion for doing things.

The village heard that Nianzi's family was going to build a new house, and everyone was shocked to hear that the salary was now settled, and more than a dozen strong men enthusiastically signed up. Anyway, staying at home in this big winter is staying, and after doing it in a month, there are hundreds of texts, where can I find such a good thing.

The village chief said that Nianzi's family was still in charge of food, and more people signed up for a while, but the village chief still focused on selecting a few families who had a holiday with Nianzi's daughter-in-law before, in order to pass this matter, and there would be fewer conflicts between each other in the village in the future.

After Master Du set up a person, he went back to the West Village and said that he would burn incense early tomorrow morning and start work.

Early the next morning, Lianjia gathered a lot of people, pushing the fence and pushing the wall, cleaning up, no one has built a new house in the village for a long time, looking at this frame, Lianjia is going to expand?

There was a lot of talk.

"This year, my daughter-in-law has been doing one since she came out, but she is really capable, I heard that the village chief's deed was paid in full yesterday, and this time the house is still paid now."

"I also heard what my man said, saying that it was guaranteed by the village chief, and the Nianzi's family did not owe a penny of wages, and the wages of the day were paid after doing one day's work, if there was something to say, the village chief let others take the top, you said that you used to do things for others, how could there be such a good thing?"

"But no, after my man heard about it, he also wanted to sign up, but unfortunately it was full, alas, I shouldn't have hesitated in the first place."

Standing next to the lively women, you chatted non-stop, at this moment, Leng Yue and Aunt Qiu came over with a large bucket full of noodles, only to hear the voice of the young daughter-in-law, "It's a cold day, everyone has worked hard, I cooked beef noodles for everyone this morning, make it hard, and be full!" When you are full, you have the strength to work, no. ”

"Oh......"

More than a dozen men heard that there was beef noodles to eat, cheered and put down the work in their hands and poured up, Nianzi and the old man one was responsible for giving everyone bowls, the other was responsible for making noodles, everyone talked and laughed, a festive.

Everyone ate warmly, and worked harder, and even the piles were lowered after only one day's work.

The wages given by the Nianzi's family are sufficient, the food is good, and in only a month, the new house has been basically built, and it is done in accordance with the requirements of the cold reading, including the two-meter-high wall on the top of the dense broken bowls, and Master Du is in strict accordance with the conditions proposed before the cold reading.

Leng Yue watched the new house built little by little every day, not to mention how happy she was, Jin'er Xiu'er played hide and seek in the new house every day, and even the old man held Nianzi's hand, "The house is completed, we can finally settle here, did Jinxiu Niang say what day she chose to go into the fire?" ”

"Having said that, Yueniang and I both chose the day of heavy snow to move and call the people in the village to open fire together, so that it will be lively and the days will be prosperous." When Nianzi saw his new home, he couldn't hide the joy on his face.

In fact, it's quite guilty to think about it, as a man, he failed to give his father and children a home, but his daughter-in-law helped him fulfill this wish, which is really a man in vain.

When Master Du finished the last day's salary, everyone helped Nianzi clean the new house before and after, and did not go home until dinner at night.

The new house was built, and the next thing was to buy furniture, and on this day, the family got up early in the morning, and Niu Lianhao, who had wrapped the old autumn head, went into the town to buy things.

Jin'er Xiu'er hasn't been in town for a long time, but this time she can follow the family into the town to buy things, take off the rabbit like Sahuan, run around, and even the old man chases behind their butts.

Leng Yue pushed Nianzi to walk slowly on the street, and Nianzi saw the two children shouting grandpa here, grandpa I want to buy rock sugar gourd, and pulling grandpa over there: "Grandpa, look, what a beautiful kite." ”

Jin'er has liked kites since she was a child, and even the old man saw that his grandson wanted it, so he gave up ten cents to buy Jin'er's favorite silk brocade dragon kite.

Seeing such a beautiful scene, Nianzi sighed: "Yueniang, I really hope that there will be such days every day in the future, so that you will work so hard for this family in vain." ”

"What do you say, everyone is a family, who in the family has not paid? You are always polite to me, and I wonder if I am a child. Leng Yue said with a smile.

Yes, such a stable and quiet life in the present world, Leng Yue also feels warm, seeing the children laughing so happily and happily, Leng Yue feels that what he does is worth it.

And Leng Yue's unintentional words made Nianzi fall into a long silence.

Building a house includes materials and wages, a total of thirty-one two eight hundred and twenty-five wen, the remaining twenty-seven taels, Leng Yue thought about buying something, leaving five taels of cash on the body for backup, the rest of the money should be bought, if it is not enough, it depends on whether the things are in a hurry, not in a hurry, and not for the time being, first after this year, anyway, the year has also taken a few orders these days, and there are still some things at home.

Wait for the future to have spare money and then slowly add it to the home, anyway, now it's your own home, it's nothing to have more things or less things, the main thing is to live steadily.

I bought something for a day.,Leng Yue bought all the things that were urgently needed.,This time because of a bit of a shortage of silver in hand.,Leng Yue tried to buy things in a store.,One can make a counteroffer,Second, to consume a certain amount.,The store sent it out of the car wallet by itself.,In this way,It really saves a lot of money.。

As soon as the things arrived at the door, the men in the village and the shopkeeper Xiao Er helped Leng Yue set up furniture, tables and chairs, and when it was late at night, Aunt Qiu wiped the dust, and helped Leng Yue boil water to wash the faces and feet of the two children and take them to sleep.

Leng Yue bought a lot of vegetables in the town, and saw that everyone was so enthusiastic to help, so he cooked a hundred vegetable soup to warm everyone's body.

After everyone was full, they went home, because the Leng Yue family was still living in Aunt Qiu's house, and the shopkeeper's second child was led by a few men in the village to his house for a temporary night, and then returned to the town at dawn tomorrow.

Leng Yue Nianzi even the old man and Aunt Qiu, the four of them are brushing pots and washing dishes, and their tired waists are almost straight, especially Aunt Qiu, who can't stand up without borrowing some strength.

"Aunt Qiu, slow down, your low back pain has not been good all these years, these jobs should have been done by me, you are really, you have to rob it." Even the old man helped Aunt Qiu stand up with one hand, and helped beat Aunt Qiu's waist with the other.

Aunt Qiu waved her hand and said: "When you are old, there are many old problems, it is not a disease, and you are a man, how can you do these things well, don't wait until tomorrow when the fire is fired, the villagers say that the bowl is still dirty, then it is a joke." ”

"Yes, I know you're careful, but you shouldn't be so tired of yourself." Even the old man helped Aunt Qiu sit down, "I'll do the rest of the work, it's all some finishing touches." ”

Leng Yue put down the newly bought pots and pans, rubbed his eyes and said to Lian Laohan, "Dad, I'm so sleepy." ”

"Sleepy? If you are sleepy, go to sleep, here are me and Aunt Qiu, tomorrow is still busy, you go to sleep first, I'll clean up. Even the old man saw that Jinxiu Niang was tired, so he urged them to rest.

Can you not be sleepy, everyone has been busy for a day, and he is also sleepy, but when he saw Aunt Qiu there, he just held his eyelids.

Leng Yue sighed, and pushed Nianzi into the house to sleep, Nianzi looked up at Leng Yue, and said with a smile: "Isn't this okay?" ”

"What's wrong, Dad has Aunt Qiu, don't let him finish it, even if he hands over tomorrow's work to Daddy, Dad will answer it, do you believe it?"

This Thaksin, just like him, as long as Yueniang is by his side, he has passion in everything he does.

"Ah, I'm so tired!" Leng Yue fell down steadily when he saw the bed, and he didn't want to move.

"Don't sleep yet, I'll get some hot water for you to soak your feet before you sleep." Nianzi poured some hot water on the stove at the door.

When he brought the hot water to Leng Yue's feet, Leng Yue had already fallen asleep, Nianzi looked at Leng Yue's tired appearance, shook his head distressedly, gently covered her with the quilt, and then took off her shoes and burned her feet for Leng Yue, and after seeing that Leng Yue's feet were warm, he picked up a dry cloth and gently wiped the water stains for Leng Yue, and after doing all this, Nianzi helped her re-cover the quilt.

Lianjia into the fire, the people in the village almost dispatched, a little affectionate, with something in their hands, no affection, just look at when Lianjia will eat, and then go in to mix some food, now who doesn't know, Lianjia's food is good, can rub a meal is a meal.

The fat sister-in-law is most unaccustomed to seeing the family show off, building a new house has made her family show off for a month, and now it is so lively when she enters the fire, if she can't climb in, she really wants to burn her with another fire, and when she sees the smile on the face of the Shen goblin, the fat sister-in-law hates her teeth with itching.

Invited Tie Niu's daughter-in-law and sister-in-law Xiang to her house, took the best meat to entertain them, and after the three of them were full of food and drink, the fat sister-in-law brought a plate of melon seeds and sweet oranges to them.

The three of them gathered around the fire, chatting while knocking melon seeds, and the fat sister-in-law knocked the melon seeds into a loud sound, "You said that the little goblin is really worth a few dollars, I went back to the town and earned twenty or thirty taels, and I went into the town last time, and calculated that the cash that this girl got back was eighty or ninety taels, otherwise what did she use to buy the deed of the village chief and build a house, I wondered, what did you say the county master liked that girl?" A person who has given birth to two children, why is it so valuable? How could a county magistrate like a woman who gave birth to two children? Shouldn't it have been loosened sooner? ”

She only gave birth to one, and she said that now it is not as exciting as before, so Shen Fairy gave birth to two, why did she sleep with others and take a lot of silver to her home, and she had to paste it upside down?

She was very unbalanced.

"I heard Tie Niu say that the money earned by the daughter-in-law of the year was picked from the mountains and sold directly to the mother of the county lord to make a lot of silver, not that she followed the county lord, you don't want to think about it, no matter how good the daughter-in-law is, how can the county lord look down on her, didn't you listen to the village chief, the county lord has not yet married, not what you think." Tie Niu's daughter-in-law told the fat sister-in-law what she heard from Tie Niu.

Since Lian Jia got up again, Tie Niu restricted her from following the fat sister-in-law to call the young daughter-in-law the little goblin, otherwise let him know and divorce her.

The fat sister-in-law heard Tie Niu's daughter-in-law shouting that Shen Fairy was a young daughter-in-law, rolled her eyes at her, and said: "Your Tie Niu is not here, look at what scares you, in my family, I am afraid that Tie Niu will hear about you and take a break, look at your unproductive appearance, even a man can't control it, and you will suffer in the future." ”

Tieniu's daughter-in-law was ridiculed by the fat sister-in-law, although she was angry, she dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, she lowered her head and peeled oranges to eat, and the sister-in-law saw that they were a little unhappy, and said: "Look at what the fat sister-in-law said, we women can compare with you, what are you, what are we, as long as our own men let out the words, we must not obediently obey." ”

The fat sister-in-law stroked her hair bun and snorted: "That is, if Hai Zi's father dares to tell me to divorce me, I will go to the town to find my cousins and aunts, you know, my uncles and aunts are ruthless, and they scratch Hai Zi's father to death." ”

Just as they were chatting energetically, they couldn't even talk well because of the noise of a few strings of firecrackers at home, and the fat sister-in-law heard how harsh the cheers outside, so she simply covered her ears and scolded: "Isn't it just a fire, and I'm not afraid that I won't be able to stand the blessings and lose the lives of my two children when I put on such a big show." ”

Sister-in-law Xiang and Tie Niu's daughter-in-law glanced at each other when they heard this, and then they each ate slowly, and their thoughts drifted outside.

Lianjia's fire rice did not finish more than a dozen tables of dishes until noon, and the big pots and barrels were full of eight or nine dishes, fat and thin, full of oil and water, and the women who helped wash and cut vegetables drooled.

The men set the plates on the table, carried the basin and carried the bucket for the dishes on each table, and as soon as the large pieces of meat were served, they were divided up, waiting for the second batch of men to serve the dishes.

Some people meet their own men to cook, "go through the back door" to ask for an extra bowl, in short, this meal is to eat everyone is satisfied, and repeatedly praise the family is proud enough, willing to take a whole pork to entertain the villagers.

Just when everyone's chopsticks were moving, a carriage stopped at the door of Lian's house, and only heard the people of Xiaofu who had come jumped off the horse and shouted while lifting the curtain: "Zhongshan County ordered Lord Xiao to ......"

Everyone put down their chopsticks and knelt on the ground to greet the prefectural magistrate.

The Lian family is too face-saving, and what an honor it is to be able to invite the county magistrate to come in person when entering the fire.

Nianzi heard someone outside calling the county magistrate to come, and he was so shocked that he dropped the spatula on the ground......
