As soon as Zhang Wusi heard that he was going to set up a tent, and then looked at the layers of various things stacked on the carriage, he waved his hand and said, "No." We are all from a bitter background, and we have been craftsmen for many years, what hardships have we not suffered? It's good to have a shed to squeeze in. How much silver does it cost to buy these things? Taking advantage of the short time to buy things, after eating, let's go to the county seat and quickly retreat. Let your third uncle go with you, lest those shops see that you are a weak woman, and Sarai will not retreat. ”

Ye Xinyan smiled, this is the way older people think about things, in this regard, my grandfather has done a good job, and he can always use different ways of doing things and thinking according to the environment.

"Grandpa Zhang, even if you and Grandpa don't care about squeezing with others, many craftsmen may not be willing. Let the craftsmen and masters who do things live under the noses of you heads, and people are also all kinds of inconvenience, isn't it? ”

When they said this, Qi Jia walked around the carriage and the ox cart several times on his short legs before turning back, pulling Ye Xinyan's shirt and asking, "Sister, I know that thing on the ox cart, it is the same as the stone mill used to make rice tofu at my uncle's grandfather's house." The one my sister bought back is so big, should we also make a lot of rice tofu? ”

Ye Xinyan smiled: "What do you do with rice tofu?" Stone grinding is not just for making rice tofu, it has many uses. When we set up the tent first, and then use this stone mill, then Qi Jia will know another use of the stone mill. ”

Qi Jia asked again, "What is a tent?" ”

"Tents are makeshift tents that can accommodate people." Wang Qiao explained to Qi Jia on the side.

Hearing that the tent could accommodate people, Qi Jia immediately jumped and turned to Wang Qiao's side and said, "Will the third uncle build a tent?" The third uncle set up the tent, and I went to live there. ”

Wang Qiao smiled, touched Qi Jia's hair, and looked at Qi Younian and Zhang Wusi. The matter of pitching a tent is still undecided.

Qi Younian spent the entire first half of the day planning to start construction of his new house as soon as possible, so that the family could settle down.

Even if you put down the finishing touches of the two cattle pens in the cattle farm and start building the house first, it will take more than half a month or 20 days to wait until the new house can be inhabited. This was only built when Zhang Wusi and Wang Qiao were both started and could lead the work.

For more than 20 days, or more, they had to huddle together with many craftsmen and small workers. Just like Ye Zi said, even if they don't mind, the craftsmen and small workers who are crowded with them are also inconvenient.

The important thing is that Qi Younian felt a little sorry for the youngest son of his fourth and seventh brother who defected to him.

"In the future, we will have to undertake more construction work, and we can use things like oilcloth tents, so let's unload them first." Qi Younian said.

Sure enough, there is a grandfather who keeps pace with the times, and he can always think of a place with himself, which is very pleasing to the eye.

Ye Xinyan said with a smile: "The kitchen at the construction site should not have opened yet, so I will call a few sturdy workers to come over and unload the goods." ”

Wang Qiao stopped her and said, "No, don't have more things, with this running effort, I and the two coachmen will unload this little thing." ”

Ye Xinyan glanced at Wang Qiao again, although this guy is not strong, he looks healthy and powerful, very much like a capable worker.

Seeing that Ye Xinyan did not object, Mama Liu beckoned to the two coachmen: "The two of you are quick with your hands and feet, and you will unload these things with my third master." Hurry up and finish your work, and you should go back sooner. I'm going to get some dry food for the two of you to bring on the road. ”

The two coachmen earned the money for hauling the goods, and they had the responsibility of carrying the goods, although today the contents of these two carts, one is the weight of the thief, and the other is so much that a flatbed carriage can barely fit it. But the nature of work doesn't change just because of how many things there are, does it?

At this time, I heard that after unloading the goods, the owner of the goods would bring dry food on the return trip, and I was very happy.

The owner of the goods is talking about dry food, which is naturally different from his own bran cakes. We poor people, where we can eat whole grain dry food, most of them are things that can be eaten, and it is good to have a full stomach.

Ye Xinyan didn't want to admit that the third uncle Wang Qiao, people really didn't talk about it casually, but he actually had a very good physical strength. Together with the two coachmen, in less than a quarter of an hour, all the goods purchased by Ye Xinyan were unloaded.

Mama Liu asked her mother-in-law to pack a few corn dumplings and fine flour steamed buns in the kitchen, and settled the happy coachman to leave. Ye Xinyan also cleaned her hands and face, and the family only set up a meal.

Zhang Wusi greeted Ye Xinyan and said: "Ye Zi went out early in the morning to do things, and he was also tired, so let's eat on the kang." ”

Ye Xinyan smiled: "No, it's just that I ran errands and didn't do heavy work, so where will I be tired." It's you and Wang...... The third uncle, I only got home yesterday, and it is hard to help my grandfather do things today. ”

Qi Younian glanced at Mama Liu, who assigned the girl to set the meal, thinking about the rules of the back house of the official eunuch in the capital, the defense of men and women, and said tentatively: "Ye Zi settled down and prepared wood when he left this morning, or, take advantage of lunch time, Ye Zi said what arrangements do you have?" ”

Ye Xinyan followed Qi Younian's gaze, and also looked at Mama Liu, and secretly laughed at Qi Younian, facing the grandma of the palace, his old man was actually under pressure.

She naturally didn't care what the palace steward and grandmother thought of her and her family, but discussing things during dinner was not conducive to digestion, and it was not easy to explain things thoroughly.

"No, I'll eat with Mama Liu. You can eat well first, and then we'll discuss things after you rest. Don't delay. ”

After a short rest after dinner, Ye Xinyan and Qi Younian sat down in the courtyard.

Ye Xinyan pointed to the large pile of oilcloth and tarpaulin, and said, "I thought, let's simply set up a tent in the yard first, and the three of you don't have to go to the construction site to crowd the shed." It's autumn now, and the cold is getting heavier, so I bought a few nitrated sheepskins, the fur is very good at keeping out moisture, and it will keep warm and dry under the pad. Let's step up the construction of the house, and it should be okay to live in a tent before the frost falls. ”

Zhang Wusi shook his head and smiled: "Old Zhang, I have done rough work all my life, and today I have become so delicate. It's good to have a tent to live in, and you can have a lot of exquisiteness. ”

turned to Ye Xinyan and smiled: "Ye Zixian's heart, you ask your grandfather, we are in the tenth winter of Layue, and we have also lived in a tent, how can you say that the tent is so much, that is, the bedding is thicker and tighter." ”

Ye Xinyan pursed her lips in disapproval and said, "When we are in a bad situation and have no choice, we will do it if we can." When there are conditions and can be exquisite, we are not afraid to pay attention. ”

I think when she escaped from the capital, it was also in the tenth winter of the wax moon, where there were tents, and when there was no store in front of the village and behind the store, it was all in the open air, crowded with Mama Jin.

Zhang Wusi clasped his palms together and smiled: "Big brother, your granddaughter, can be particular and compromised, it is really in line with Lao Zhang's intentions, she is a good child." Bia Bridge has a lot of money. ”
