Chapter 17 Roof repair

Gan Sui and Banxia didn't take this matter to heart, and the two went to the grocery store next to them to buy some materials for repairing the house, and then took a large bag and borrowed the donkey cart of the shopkeeper Yan and returned to their hometown.

The weather was hot and humid, so I quickly poured two large glasses of boiled water when I got home in the middle of summer, gave a cup to Gansui, and the cow drank it, so I felt alive.

"I really miss the air conditioner, even if there is no air conditioner, the electric fan will be enough. Big guy, can you be a fan! ”

"The fan is easy to make, but the electricity can't be generated."

"You're no longer the almighty Dorado in my heart."

Thank you, I never felt like I was.

Banxia rested for a while, took a few pastries, which were packed back from the restaurant just now, and walked straight to Gan Erniang's house next to him. Gan Erniang was taking insoles in the yard when she saw Banxia coming in, "Su Niangzi is here, but is there something?" ”

"The roof of our house needs to be renovated, I and my husband are not very good, I want to ask my aunt, if there is a reliable candidate, it is going to rain, if the rain is heavy, I am afraid it will not be stopped." While handing over the pastries: "This is the pastry packed when I eat out at noon, please taste it, it's all clean, don't dislike it." ”

"Hey, this neighbor is embarrassed to accept your gift. Old Li Tou in the west of the village is a good hand at repairing houses, and I will go to him with you. ”

Banxia insisted on stuffing the pastries to her, but Gan Erniang couldn't refuse, so she took the pastries and took Banxia to the west of the village.

Fortunately, this person didn't live in the afternoon, so he came back with Banxia and started repairing.

"I'm afraid this house is some years old, right?"

Gan Sui and Banxia couldn't answer this, but fortunately, there was Gan Erniang, "No, it's probably not too old with Xiucai." ”

"It won't take long for this old house to be repaired, why doesn't Xiucai consider repairing a tiled house."

"Hey, you really don't have the eyesight to see, if Xiucai Gong wins the lift next year, he will be a lifter, he is going to move to the city to live, this broken house is just a temporary shelter." Gan Erniang was blunt.

"Auntie, this is really a joke, who can say accurately on the way to the imperial examination, but the family is poor and can't afford to repair the tiled house." Banxia has always felt that there should be too much pressure on Gansui. The two of them are otherworldly souls, and it is already a miracle that they can read and write like Gan Sui, and they have to ask thousands of people to compete for the top few at one time, which is obviously embarrassing, so for Gan Sui to end next year, Banxia is basically hopeless.

A few people chatted without a word, Gan Sui copied the book on the stone table in the backyard, Gan Sui's house was small, but it had been repaired in the middle of the afternoon, Banxia hurriedly went into the kitchen and made a few good dishes, thank you Gan Erniang and Lao Li Tou.

Lao Li Tou got paid again, ate another good meal, and went home smiling like no eyes.

At night, Banxia lay on the bed, looking at the renovated roof, and the breath that had been carried in his heart was finally relieved. Gan Sui was crooked reading by the bed, originally wanted to use an oil lamp, but Banxia said that it hurt his eyes, so he went to buy a candle as soon as he had silver.

"Gansui, do you want to take the imperial examination?"

"I didn't have any ideas, but recently I thought I should give it a try."

"Why?"

"The owner of the bookstore, Yan is in charge, in addition to this shop, there are several other shops, which can be regarded as a rich party. But when it comes to the government, they don't dare to offend at all. That Lin Qianbao is just a side branch of the county that can show off his might in the county. I originally thought about doing business, as long as it was successful, it would not be bad, but now it seems that in this dynasty, doing business is far less than being an official. If an official finds a mistake at will, tens of millions of family properties will be wiped out in an instant. So let's give it a go. ”

"Tick Tick ......"

"Gansui, it's raining outside." The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and it is accompanied by thunder, but Banxia is very happy, "Fortunately, the house was repaired today, otherwise I would definitely not be able to stand such a heavy rain." ”

"You're so smart." Gan Sui praised her again.

Banxia was a little embarrassed, and said after a while: "When I was young, I lived in the countryside, and every time it rained, I would take out all the utensils that could hold water at home to fill water, but as soon as it rained heavily, it became heavy rain outside and light rain inside the house. My dad was not at home and no one cleaned up the roof, so I was really afraid of heavy rain because when I woke up, it was all wet. ”

"It's okay, you see that the house is not leaking rain now."

"That's good."

When I woke up on the second day, the sun shone on Banxia's face through the window fence, and Banxia woke up and saw that Gan Sui was already reading by the window: "Big guy, you don't sleep every day, be careful that you don't grow tall." ”

"According to surveys, seven hours of sleep a day is enough to keep the body up for the energy it needs, and people who get more than eight hours are more likely to die."

Hehe. The early morning is simply refreshing. Banxia was stunned, but she woke up at once.

I got up to make breakfast, but found that the breakfast was already on the table: "Wow, how early did you get up, big guy?" ”

"Last night we rested around 10 o'clock, so I got up at 5 a.m. and ran around the small village, where the air was pretty good, and I picked up some firewood. When I came back, I saw that you were still sleeping, so I boiled the porridge first and heated up the dish you fried last night. ”

"Then you're really great." The scary thing is not that others are better than you, but that people who are better than you work harder than you. Under the backdrop of Gansui, Banxia instantly felt that he was a scumbag, and he was also a scumbag who was waiting to die. No, time is so precious, I have to hurry up, yes, work hard.

"Why are you standing there, why don't you hurry up and wash your hands and eat. A girl who wakes up in the morning sloppy ......"

Half a summer pawn.

As soon as I finished breakfast, I heard a knock on the door outside, "Brother Gan, are you there?" Brother Gan ...... "It's actually Lin You."

Gan Sui and Banxia walked out of the door and found a carriage parked outside, and Lin You was standing next to the carriage.

"Your house is too hard to find, it rained last night and the road was not easy to walk, you see I walked a foot in the mud. The house you live in is so small, not as big as where our family lives. ”

That's really wronged for you to come to see us.

Lin You just complained, and didn't expect them to answer, and instantly happily pulled Gan Sui's arm, "Brother Gan, I showed that picture to my father yesterday, my father was very interested, and I didn't understand some of them, he called the craftsman this morning, let's go and see it together." ”

This is a matter of benefit to the people, and Gan Sui naturally wants to support: "Wait a minute, I will change my clothes." ”

Lin You was about to open his mouth to speak to Banxia, but someone came over there, and it turned out to be Hui Niang.

"Huiniang, why are you here, have you ever had breakfast?"

"Banxia, you're so biased, it's obvious that I came first, so you don't even ask me if I used breakfast."

"Then Master Lin, did you have breakfast?"

"I used it, I ate three big buns with fresh meat." Laugh happily.

Children with neuropathy have a lot of fun.

Hui Niang couldn't help but smile, and Banxia realized that Hui Niang didn't come alone, and there were two villagers behind her. Hui Niang looked at Banxia's eyes and replied, "This is what Master Lin found for us to come to spring ploughing." I thought that you and Gan Xiucai were also working hard, so I brought them over to help plant the crops on your side first and then go. ”

"It's not good." Banxia thought that this was the person invited by Master Lin to the Tian family after all.

"I already informed Master Lin yesterday, and he agreed."

"It's okay, my second uncle still has money, he doesn't care about this money."

Just when Gan Sui came out, Banxia told him: "This is the ...... that Hui Niang invited to give us spring ploughing."

"Then I'll take them to see the fields first."

Gan Sui said this, Banxia only reacted, I really don't even know where the land is.

Gan Sui led people to tell them which land to plant what, and Banxia hurriedly asked the people in the village to buy seedlings and vegetable seedlings. After being so busy for most of the hour, Lin You opened his mouth several times to urge, but he was embarrassed to open his mouth when he looked at Banxia and Gan Sui's busy figures.

Banxia knew that he was anxious, so he said after Gan Sui finished pointing to the field: "You go with Lin You, I'll watch at home." After I was done, I asked Boss Yan where I could buy fish fry, and when the seedlings grew for a month and a half, I would buy some and put them in the field. ”

"Done. It's hot, and there aren't many crops left or right, so let them rest more, don't get heat stroke, I'll go first. ”

Hurry up and hurry, and only arrived at the county office in the middle of the day.

"The young master is back, and the master has been talking about it several times." The little official outside the door said.

"Where's my dad?"

"I'm waiting for you inside."

"Brother Gan, let's go in together."

The two entered the inner hall together, and the county commander was discussing with the craftsman, and his eyes lit up when he saw Gan Sui come in.

"Gan Xiu is here, and Mr. Wu and I are talking about this waterwheel. If this waterwheel keeps holding people and shaking, I'm afraid it's still a bit laborious, and you see if there is any other way. ”

In addition to manpower, this waterwheel can also use animal power, you see here...... "Gan Sui pointed to the two ends of the axle" here can be added ropes, driven by the power of oxen and horses. It's just that this waterwheel will have to be built bigger, and of course the irrigation area will be more extensive. Gan Sui said while painting, and several people were amazed.

"In addition, the human power can also use the foot to overturn the car, which is very fun for children to pedal." Gan Sui also drew a picture of the pedal overturner, "It can also be used for vertical overturning at the well, which can provide convenience." ”

A few people looked at it and asked, and before they knew it, it was noon.

The master came to urge him to eat, and a few people were still unsatisfied.

Wu Bai stroked his beard and sighed: "In the end, it is the brains of young people, I have been looking at the equipment for so many years, but I have not been able to come up with these things." ”

"Mr. Wu praised it falsely, the student is just picking up people's teeth and wisdom, this is all mentioned in the book before, the student just saw it by chance, and wrote it down, but it's all on paper, it's nothing, you really make it, that's the ability."

"Eh, don't praise each other, let's go to the dining room for lunch first, I'm going to starve to death." Lin You had been running around all morning, and he was already hungry, but seeing that the three of them were still discussing, he was embarrassed to interrupt.

"You know how to eat, look at people, the same age as you."

An accidental and willing person becomes someone else's child.

Lin You glanced at him sadly, but Gan Suiquan didn't see Mr. Hewu talking and went to the dining hall.
