Lin Zifu took advantage of the fact that when she went to the toilet, she took out a piece of broken silver, but when she gave it to He Dayou, He Dayou didn't ask for it.

He Dayou refused: "When the wages are paid until the house is repaired, they are all neighbors, and the villagers will not ask for wages in advance." ”

In the next two days, Lin Zifu was busy behind He Dayou, the house was too dilapidated, the beams were rotten, and the walls were collapsed and cracked in many places.

There are many trees on the mountain, and a large cypress tree was sawn to make a beam.

The detached and cracked earthen walls were re-compacted on the outside, the new thatch for the roof was cleaned and tied by several women, the courtyard wall was repaired, and the weeds in the courtyard were pulled out.

The repair of the house was still very fast, after all, there was no need to make a foundation, and there was no need to start from scratch, and when the thatched roof was built, the women who came to help also helped clean up the house.

After getting along for three or four days, Lin Zifu met a few people who came to help.

She put a bunch of rotten grain and grass into the basket, and looked at the women who were cleaning gratefully: "Thank you for your help, and please come over for dinner tomorrow." ”

It's not noon yet, and I'll ask He Dayou to help me buy furniture in the town and come back, and add all the things at home, she can be regarded as living in a new house, and of course she has to be grateful to the few people who worked for the first meal.

Aunt Liao raised her head with a smile and said, "I must come if I have food, I heard that you are going to buy furniture, my ox cart is just right to use, and I will ask your Uncle Dahua to follow you." ”

Aunt Liao's husband's name is He Dahua, and he has been helping to repair the house these days.

Ying Gu kept her head down and did things, although the people in the village were very enthusiastic, she was still not used to communicating with everyone, and this scar made her lose all her self-confidence.

Lin Zifu originally wanted Aunt Ying to communicate with everyone more, the Zhou family's kind of respectful and orderly, boring and depressing place, I couldn't stand it after just one night, but Aunt Ying stayed in that environment for more than ten years, and I really wanted Aunt Ying to start again.

secretly told Aunt Ying several times, but Aunt Ying refused, and in the end she had to give up, and many things were forced.

Aunt Ying stayed to clean up the house, and Lin Zifu went to the town with He Dayou and He Dahua.

It takes half an hour to walk from the town to drive the ox cart from the village, and along the way look at the fields that have already passed the autumn harvest, and sit on the ox cart to enjoy the rare tranquility.

Everyone has become familiar with it in the past few days, and He Dahua is very curious about Lin Zifu: "Zifu, don't the people of your husband's family care about you?" You are widowed for their sons. ”

Everyone sympathizes with Lin Zifu and respects Lin Zifu very much.

After all, it takes a lot of courage for a thirteen-year-old girl to make such a decision.

Lin Zifu thought of the Zhou family, although she was left alive, but she was full of difficulties and wanted her to die, and smiled bitterly: "A lot of things will not be clear for a while, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, it is enough for me and my mother-in-law to live, thanks to your care, the kindness Zifu will always remember in my heart." ”

He Dayou and He Dahua both guessed that something very serious must have happened, otherwise Lin Zifu would not have said such a thing.

It's really true that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, so after Lin Zifu said these words, the two of them tacitly did not continue to ask, but secretly thought in their hearts, if they can help this mother-in-law and grandson in the future, they will try to help.

He Dayou was very enthusiastic and introduced the town, because the silver on his body was not enough, it was impossible to buy new furniture, but fortunately, he heard that there was old furniture to buy, which made her feel at ease, and she had to buy two sets of clothes for one person, as well as pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar grain.

There was only a tael of silver left in the money bag, and it was necessary to be frugal.

It was He Dayou's acquaintance who sold the furniture, although the old furniture was cheap, but he didn't dare to buy it indiscriminately, so he just bought two simple beds with a tight pick, and the other was a square table and four stools.

Pots and pans, and wooden barrels cost a lot of money, and the grain did not dare to pick up rice to buy, so I could only buy some cheap coarse grains, but I thought that I would have a banquet tomorrow, so I endured the pain and weighed two catties of meat and bought a jar of wine.

The clothes were old clothes, and the coarse linen clothes didn't cost much money, and Rao was like this, and when he left the town, there were more than a hundred dollars left in his purse.

The salary has been given to everyone, and this more than 100 Wen can be said to be all the belongings of her and Aunt Ying.

Sighing slightly, the days ahead will be really difficult.

By the time everything was in place, it was already dark.

After eating at the village chief's house, Lin Zifu and Aunt Ying packed up their things and planned to go back to sleep.

There are only three main houses and one side house in the repaired house, the side house is the stove room, the main house she and Aunt Ying have a bedroom, and the hall house can be placed some sundries on weekdays.

I was very tired these days, so I boiled water and took a bath, and Lin Zifu fell asleep.

Early the next day, I heard the sound of digging in the yard.

Lin Zifu hurriedly got up and changed into the blue cloth clothes she bought yesterday, and when she walked out of the door, she saw Aunt Ying digging the ground with a hoe, and asked puzzledly, "Granny Ying, what are you doing?"

Aunt Ying turned around and smiled at Lin Zifu and said, "I asked for a little leek root from Guixiang, and I plan to put a row of leeks in the corner, and the yard can be planted with vegetables, and it would be too wasteful not to raise chickens and ducks empty." ”

Why don't you raise chickens and ducks, the two of them know very well in their hearts that the remaining money is not enough to buy chickens.

In the future, she and Aunt Ying will depend on each other, and there are no relatives in this world, Aunt Ying's appearance is a little scary, but people's hearts are good, and they have long regarded Aunt Ying as family in their hearts.

She stepped forward and took the hoe, raised the hoe and dug it up: "Mother-in-law, is it okay for you to go to the steaming nest, I won't be a nest." ”

Aunt Ying felt sorry for Lin Zifu, snatched the hoe and said: "What kind of ground are you digging with fine skin and tender meat, you come to make a fire for me and I will teach you to steam the nest, and the ground can be dug later." ”

While they were cooking, several of the people who helped them brought some home-grown vegetables, and they just took the opportunity to invite the food delivery person to eat at noon.

Lin Zifu is very good at cooking, and most of the dishes sent by the people in the village are leeks and weeds, as well as yams and dried vegetables.

cut a piece of fat meat and stew dried vegetables and yams, and fried leeks and weads separately, and fried a large pot for each portion, so that the two catties of meat bought could not see anything in the dish.

I was embarrassed, but the conditions at home could only be like this, and I didn't dare to spend the remaining more than 100 yuan for the sake of face.

More than a dozen people ate to their heart's content, and Aunt Liao and Aunt Guixiang helped clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

Now that she has settled down, Lin Zifu's mind has become active, and the most important thing now is to make money: "Two aunts, I don't know if there are any medicinal herbs in this mountain. ”
