Chapter 71: The dusty courtyard
"No, it's for grandma." Rokuro interrupted her softly and said.
He glanced out the window carefully and explained, "Now that He Lin is back, he looks like he is ready to stay for a long time." But it's not a problem to let them live in a miscellaneous room all the time. I thought, wouldn't it be nice to build a new house in the next few days, and then bring my grandmother to live with us, and let He Lin and them live in the thatched courtyard? ”
Listening to Liulang's explanation, Hemai suddenly got up, "Why didn't I think of it!" That's a good idea! ”
can not only be separated from He Lin's family, but also be able to take care of the Qin family, isn't this what He Mai has always been thinking about!
"I've thought so before, but there's always something on the table. It just so happened that I was not busy for a while, so I built the house, which was very fast, and it would take three or five days at most, and I could move in after ventilation. ”
"That's great!" The corners of Hemai's lips hooked into crescents, "It's hard for you to be so careful, Rokuro, thanks to you!" ”
Rokuro was really happy to see her, and couldn't help laughing with her, reaching out and stroking her head, "I'll gather people to prepare materials tomorrow, and I'll start construction the day after tomorrow." ”
"Good!" He Mai nodded happily, "Then I'll cook two more good dishes tonight and let's celebrate, I'll call my grandmother over in a while, hum, it's cheap that woman!" ”
Thinking of Xiu'er, Hemai still has some disgusted little emotions.
Speaking of Xiu'er again, an idea suddenly flashed in He Mai's mind, this Xiu'er's life experience is about to become a mystery, He Lin doesn't know, but this doesn't mean that no one knows, right?
He Mai told Rokuro his thoughts to ask him to investigate the town to see if anyone knew the details of this Xiu'er.
Even if it doesn't, it's good to investigate Xiu'er's debts in the gambling house.
met He Lin with a debt, and it is also a loss that there is a simple man like He Lin in the world, if he is replaced by others, I am afraid that he will already suspect that Xiu'er is close to his purpose!
Rokuro listened to Hemai's words, pondered for a while, and nodded in response.
When she was about to eat dinner, Xiu'er came back, wearing a new dress with red and willow green, and threw her a contemptuous look when she passed by Hemai.
"Clothes made so quickly?" He Lin asked stupidly.
Xiu'er glared at him, "Idiot, where is it so fast?" It was my second uncle who took me to the garment store to buy clothes. Isn't it good-looking? ”
Good looking, good looking. He Lin nodded and swallowed, "It's expensive, right?" ”
"It's expensive, what about two taels of silver," Xiu'er had a hint of joy on her face, and quickly hid it, "I'm full, you can eat." ”
From the moment Xiu'er entered the house, she turned a blind eye to people other than He Lin, and didn't even say hello to the Qin family.
The Qin family doesn't care, and He Mai doesn't want to worry about her now, and when the results of the investigation come out in a few days, she will count her new hatred and old hatred with this mother-in-law!
Talking to the Qin family about moving, the Qin family pondered for a while, and nodded in agreement, praising the thoughtfulness and carefulness of Liulang.
"Right now, your brother and Xiu'er don't know how long they will stay in the village, and Xiu'er is a bad person to get along with, and I'm really worried about the four of you living together." Qin sighed.
"Build up the house, let Xiu'er adapt to life here, so that you can integrate into our farmer's life. However......" a trace of worry appeared on Qin's face, "I don't know if He Lin has gone out alone, what can I do with this meal?" ”
He Mai hugged the old lady's arm and shook her head, "Milk, don't worry about this!" The woman was found by himself, and he was willing to be a slave in front of Xiu'er, we can't stop it! Life is lived by ourselves, can we always take care of them? Hungry them for a few meals, drink a few meals of the northwest wind and you can be honest! ”
Her negative words made Qin Shi purse his lips and smile, "Yes, if you are hungry, drink the northwest wind!" ”
Two days later, Liulang bought all the stones, bricks, tiles, and tenons used to build the house, and called the young people who came to work in Qin's courtyard last time.
A group of happy and energetic young people were reunited at the foot of the mountain.
That day coincided with the break in class, so the brother and sister also came to help.
Xu Jiang also came over, and helped with Ma Er, unloading the transported stones from the car.
Lin Helin naturally had to do his part, and took over the work of driving the mule to transport the stones, and He Mai couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly, and he didn't know if his body could withstand it.
Ma Er entered Liulang's house, and came over to greet Hemai Shancao, "Brother and sister, I haven't seen you for a while, and it's beautiful!" ”
He Mai smiled: "Second Brother Ma, I bothered you to come over to help, Liulang and I really don't want to go, what do you want to eat at noon?" Just say! ”
Ma Er smiled, "Brother and sister are happy." In the past, Rokuro had some work here to ask everyone to come and help, and the brothers said that it would take two or three days to come over, but now Rokuro has beckoned us, let's come over - not for anything else, the craftsmanship of my brother and sister is the most seductive! ”
Shancao snorted lightly and buried him: "I'm embarrassed to say it!" A big man is the most greedy, and he will definitely not be able to get a daughter-in-law! ”
He Mai hurriedly shook her arm and whispered, "Shancao, don't do this! ”
Ma Er didn't care, and grinned, "You girl is still as sharp as ever, why, you can't see me these days, no one is arguing with you, I'm afraid you want to hurt me?" ”
He looked at the bulging cheeks of the mountain grass with sour eyebrows, and said with a grin: "Did I say that I was in my heart?" My face is red! ”
Shancao covered his face and pointed at Ma Er angrily, "You...... You sloppy, you scoundrel! ”
"Okay, Shancao, let's go boil water, there are many people in the family today, I'm afraid we need to prepare something." He Mai was afraid that the two of them would quarrel too much, so he hurriedly pulled the mountain grass into the stove room.
Ma Er was not afraid of anything big and shouted behind him: "Brother and sister, get some cold porridge to drink at noon!" The girl in the mountain grass is angry, so she can send fire to her! ”
The new house was built on one side of the miscellaneous room, and after the expected dimensions of the new house were measured, the fence surrounding the courtyard had to be dismantled and the whole thing was expanded.
The extra piece of land Rokuro went to Li Zheng to ask, because this piece of land was sparsely populated, and the extra two centimeters of land were not spent, which made Hemai happy for a long time.
The first thing to do to build a new house is to lay the foundation, first dig out the soft soil in the yard, dig to the old soil layer, and replace the soil with hard and heavy coarse sand, gray soil, etc.
The cost of this work is not small, and it is extremely tiring, but it can ensure the quality of the new house, and Rokuro buys all the best coarse sand, which costs a lot of money.
The men threw off their arms to work outside the house, and the door curtain was put down on the stove side, leaving the wheat and mountain grass in the house, and there was a little black lying on the ground at the feet, which was also idle in the stove room, and was not affected by the overwhelming smoke and dust outside.
