Chapter 67: Let It Be
Li went back with his son with a blue nose and swollen face, and when Brother Li saw it, he was embarrassed to say to Cai Qing and Song Ziyu: "My mother is such a person, he is too much today, don't worry about her, Cai Qing, you can rest assured that I will pay you back the money she took." ”
"Brother Li! Don't say that, I was negligent, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very delicate, I don't realize it yet, it's natural to find someone to help pay the salary, nothing is too much, it's just that Aunt Li's way of doing things is not very acceptable, but your brother and his wife are really underwhelmed, don't mind, I'm also unhappy for Sister-in-law Li. ”
Sister-in-law Li continued: "Cai Qing! I know you're good to us, if it weren't for our face. You can't bear this breath for a long time, it's my mother-in-law who is not good, and it's also our husband and wife who are incompetent. ”
"Don't say this kind of thing, in order to let you have no worries, your husband and wife will do it with me, anyway, building a house is not a matter of one or two days, I will give you husband and wife a tael of silver a month, so as not to go back to the bad business, in the future, let your mother-in-law cook by herself and wait for your uncle's family, we will not go back."
Li Qingyuan and his wife looked at each other and were very surprised, one or two a month is too expensive, other people's hired workers are only two hundred wen a month, and our husband and wife add up to only four hundred wen, and we don't need to give one or two. ”
Lu Caiqing listened and said, "Brother Li! Your husband and wife are too good, so they were bullied by their younger brother and sister-in-law, let's hand over 400 wen to the old lady, gag their mouths, and the rest of the money, you can fire yourself and make something delicious, Duo'er can't get up in the morning, you just eat and come over, lunch and dinner together, it's so decided, and it's a split when you break with me. ”
Sister-in-law Li listened, nodded gratefully, and said, "Cai Qing!" Knowing you is the greatest blessing for our husband and wife, and I don't know how to thank you! ”
"If you want to thank you, you can talk about it later, Boss Lin can say, let us thirty people build the house here, Miss Lu, look at how this yard is planned! Wang Lin looked at Lu Caiqing, you and I said one sentence at a time, and finally interjected.
When Lu Caiqing saw it, he was embarrassed and hung more than 30 people in the yard, and he forgot about it. So Lu Caiqing went back to the house and took out the drawings that he had made overnight.
Gather everyone together to sit under the big umbrella, Wang Lin is the contractor here, he spread out the drawings and looked, he didn't know what she used to write, only felt that the handwriting was clear, and the floor plan of the house was angular.
In fact, Lu Caiqing didn't know anything about house architecture, she thought that the Xia mother and son would occupy two rooms when they came, and they had to prepare two guest rooms, so they rushed to make such a house floor plan in the dark. Specifically, it is necessary for professional people to measure the size, she just simply drew a plane concept, after all, she has been in the countryside, and she can see eight or nine without leaving ten.
And what she thinks in her heart is to thank the Liu family in Lujia Village for helping her, thinking that when she has nothing to do, let them come and make a move, she can't let her family come and have no place to live, even if Lin Huaijin comes, she can also let him move into a new house, her new house can't let him come, and she always listens to her and Brother Song's privacy for free.
Wang Lin often builds a house, and after reading the drawings, he immediately understood her meaning, and asked for a good time to build a house in the countryside, and it was noon when he came today, and it was not easy to start work, after all, it was necessary to find an auspicious time to start building a house, although the three brothers of the Song family and Lu Caiqing did not believe this, but everything should be done according to the old rules.
Thirty people don't have to worry about Lu Caiqing's eating and drinking, they brought their own simple tents, it was also early summer, and it was not cold at night, they were stationed next to the woods outside the small courtyard, there were fixed candidates for cooking on the fire, Song Ziyu's three brothers and Li Qingyuan followed to help, and Lu Caiqing had nothing to do.
So he took Duo'er and Yun Ge to play, Xia saw that he only cooked a little carelessly, so he begged Lu Caiqing to teach her embroidery, saying that it was to teach, in fact, which woman in ancient times would not embroider or anything, although it was not as many as Lu Caiqing's patterns, but according to the patterns given by Caiqing, the embroidery was also vivid.
Sister-in-law Li is also not idle, Cai Qing gives wages, and her man can help build a house, but she is idle, and she also came over to learn together, Sister-in-law Li is a person who does rough work, and her family is not rich since she was a child, and what she does is the work of washing and washing, which is like a girl's daughter who knows how to embroider a flower or grass or something to give to the lover.
Sister-in-law Li is suffering this loss, no one pays attention to it at home, she is not as shrewd and capable as everyone's ladies, she can coax the old man to be happy, and she knows how to work hard to get such treatment.
Clumsy and clumsy, she picked up the needle and thread and pierced her hand, and finally didn't tie it to her hand, and she broke the half-antenna knot with a stitch, and even her own girl said with a smile: "Mother! What are you embroidering? ”
Sister-in-law Li blushed and looked at it for a long time and said: "My mother embroiders a bird, and when she grows up, she will embroider a mandarin duck for us to marry." ”
Li Duoer blinked her eyes and looked at it for a long time before she said, "Mother!" Why didn't I see the bird, I looked like a chicken! ”
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard it, Yun Ge watched from the sidelines, and also pursed their lips and snickered, Sister-in-law Li pretended to reprimand her daughter and said: "You girl, I am kind enough to study, and when I embroider you as a dowry in the future, you will laugh at your mother." ”
Li Duoer listened and said with a smile: "When I grow up, I won't marry, so I will stay by my mother's side and protect my mother." ”
Lu Caiqing couldn't stop praising after hearing it: "It's still our Duo'er who is sensible, but when this girl is older, she has to marry, and she can honor her parents when she marries." ”
Li Duo'er blinked her eyes and asked, "Aunt Caiqing!" I heard the adults say that you were sold here by the grandmother of the Chen family next door, so do you still honor your parents now that you are married? ”
Lu Caiqing, who asked in one sentence, was stunned for a moment, thinking about the parents in Lujia Village, it was really not worth her filial piety, and Sister-in-law Li hurriedly stopped: "Where do the children hear nonsense, go and play." ”
Li Duoer saw that Aunt Caiqing's face was not good, and hurriedly explained: "Auntie, I was wrong! It's that Duo'er is not good, and she mentioned that her aunt was sad, and Duo'er won't talk nonsense in the future. ”
Lu Caiqing came back to his senses after hearing this, and smiled: "What nonsense is Silly Duo'er talking about? What was my aunt thinking about just now? If parents are good to their children, we should be filial to them, but what if our parents are of bad character? Let's talk about things, see if it's worth it, people's hearts are flesh and blood, and we can't cover our hearts, so let's go with the flow. ”
