Chuncao was too sad, and after crying, she fell asleep on Lu Ziqi's back.

Carrying the spring grass on his back, Lu Ziqi walked very slowly, and when he got home, it was already afternoon, and he gently put the sleeping spring grass on the bed.

Lu Ziqi went to the kitchen to make dinner, Chuncao woke up, his eyes were red, he hadn't eaten for a day, he was so hungry that he couldn't do it, so he dragged his shoes and went to the kitchen listlessly.

"Nerd, I'm so hungry." With a coquettish tone, he looked at Lu Ziqi with an aggrieved face.

"I'm going to eat right away, go and get dressed first, it's cold at night." Lu Ziqi watched Chuncao run out wearing a middle coat, and said that he hadn't seen her change many times, and he was very helpless that Chuncao often ran around in her underwear.

When Chuncao got dressed and came out, Lu Ziqi had already brought the food to the table, and Chuncao began to gobble up the food.

After eating a full meal, he burped with satisfaction, Lu Ziqi didn't let Chuncao help clean up, Chuncao was too full, and he was bored walking in the yard to eat.

While strolling around the spring grass, I thought that with eight thousand taels, I should repair my yard first, otherwise this winter will be really sad, and I can't be blind, and I have to keep building a red wine manor.

I don't know if the mountain behind is expensive, she still wants to buy the mountain land behind her, including this one, and build a small bridge and flowing water-like mountain villa. There are so many places to spend money, and it doesn't seem to be enough to spend! Let's fix the yard first.

It was already dark, the spring grass was strolling in the courtyard by the moonlight, the oil lamp in the kitchen was flickering on and off, and the sound of firewood burning could be heard from time to time.

Lu Ziqi sat quietly in front of the stove to add firewood, the water was almost hot, and he called the spring grass to wash. The two have always tacitly agreed not to mention the daytime.

At night, the two of them lay quietly in bed, neither falling asleep nor speaking.

Lu Ziqi suddenly approached Chuncao, hugged Chuncao into his arms, and said softly, "You have a family, and me; All I have is you. ”

Lu Ziqi heard the sadness and despair in Chuncao's crying, he was inexplicably flustered and scared, Chuncao at that time seemed to be far away from him, and he couldn't get close to her.

He didn't understand the reason for Harukao's sadness and despair, but he didn't want to ask Haruka, he was afraid to hear an answer that he couldn't accept.

Chuncao didn't struggle, quietly let Lu Ziqi hug her, leaned on Lu Ziqi's arms, heard Lu Ziqi speak, "um", and didn't make another sound.

Such sadness, she doesn't want to face it, she is very good now, she cares about her family, and loves her father-in-law.

"I want to take the spring exam next year." Lu Ziqi saw that Chuncao didn't speak, so he continued to speak.

Participating in the spring exam was a decision that Lu Ziqi had considered for a long time. Once alone, there was no purpose and no matter how much I lived.

Today's events touched him a little, he wanted to protect his wife, but now everyone is right, he is a poor nerd.

Without money and background, how can you protect your wife?

"You want to be an official?" Chuncao looked up in surprise and asked Lu Ziqi.

Lu Ziqi said "um", which was an affirmation, but he said to Chuncao in his heart, "I just want to protect you and be your backing, so that you don't have to worry and can do whatever you want." ”

"Do whatever you want, I've got your back." Chuncao buried her head in Lu Ziqi's arms, and said angrily, "Let's renovate the yard before it is winter." "With just two dilapidated houses, this winter is not good.

"You're in charge."

"Then let's go say hello to my mother tomorrow, and when we renovate, let's move to my mother's house first." Chuncao discussed with Lu Ziqi.

"It's going to be as soon as possible, it's going to start winter next month, it's only half a month, but fortunately it's the time for farming, so please hire more workers, faster." Lu Ziqi thought that if he wanted to renovate, he would have to start planning tomorrow and start construction as soon as possible.

"Let's tear down these two rooms, and then build a larger hall in the middle, and build a utility room in the back, and build an ear room on each side, two side rooms on the left, and a kitchen on the right. Go to the back of the toilet repair yard, open a back door behind the warehouse, it is more convenient, by the way, next to the toilet to build a bathroom. Chuncao told Lu Ziqi while planning in his head.

"Okay." Lu Ziqi quietly listened to Chuncao's plan, and hugged Chuncao's hand tightly, "Tomorrow, you go to your mother's house to say hello, and I'll go find a good worker first." Go to sleep and wake up early tomorrow. ”

Chuncao nodded "um", found a comfortable position in Lu Ziqi's arms, and gradually fell asleep.

When I woke up the next morning, Lu Ziqi was no longer around, Chuncao got dressed and went out, and saw Lu Ziqi practicing martial arts in the yard.

When Lu Ziqi turned around, he saw the spring grass at the door, and stopped his movements, "Let's go wash and eat." With that, he walked towards the kitchen.

Chuncao came back to her senses and went to the kitchen, the same hot water and toiletries were ready, Chuncao walked to the kitchen, and first took a picture of the water with the habitual smelly beauty.

"Ah~" screamed, frightened Lu Ziqi hurriedly came over.

"What's wrong?" Lu Ziqi grabbed Chuncao's arm and asked Chuncao nervously.

Chuncao pouted and looked at Lu Ziqi aggrievedly, "My eyes." She saw that her eyes were swollen like pandas.

Lu Ziqi saw it early in the morning, and was not as surprised as Chuncao, knowing that Chuncao's screaming was because of his eyes, so he relaxed, "Apply a compress with hot water, and the swelling will go down in a while." Lu Ziqi spoke out to comfort Chuncao.

"But I'm going back to my parents' house later, how can I go back with such a pair of panda eyes!" Chuncao pouted in annoyance.

"Then why don't you wipe the swelling medicine from last time? Wait until the swelling is gone down before going out? After Lu Ziqi finished speaking, he was about to turn around and get the medicine, curious about what the panda eyes were.

"Forget it, keep the medicine, it's too wasteful to wipe your eyes." Chuncao grabbed Lu Ziqi, there was not much medicine, the effect was very good, it was really a waste to use it to reduce swelling, "I'll wait for the swollen eyes to go out again." ”

After speaking, he took the basin sullenly and went to the yard to wash.

After breakfast, Chuncao discussed drawing a drawing of the house first, but Chuncao didn't know how to use a brush, so he took Lu Ziqi to the yard, found a pair of branches, and described his design while drawing on the ground, and asked Lu Ziqi to draw it out with pen and paper.

Lu Ziqi wanted to go out to find workers, and the wages should first be decided on how much to give, and whether to provide food or not, so he first discussed with Chuncao, "Now the wages of building workers are about 120 wen a day, and ordinary workers are basically 100 wen, and they have to provide two meals." ”

Chuncao thought that so many people's meals still need to have a place to cook, and his pots and pans are not enough, so he still doesn't provide food, "Let's not provide food, the salary is a little higher, the house builder is 160 wen a day, and the ordinary worker is 130 wen a day, it shouldn't be low, right?" ”

Lu Ziqi nodded, "It's high enough, then you can be at home, I'll go to the workers first, go early, so as to find as many people as possible." ”

"I'll go out with you, I'll go to my mother's house." Chuncao took a look at herself in front of the blurred bronze mirror, and found that her eyes were not so swollen, and she had nothing to do at home, so she thought about going to her mother's house first.

Lu Ziqi nodded, locked the door, and the two went out together.

Walking to the door, Chuncao suddenly remembered the eight thousand taels of silver tickets, "Nerd, where did you put the silver tickets?" ”

"In the back box of the closet." Seeing Chuncao looking back in the direction of the courtyard with an uneasy face, he continued to speak, "Don't worry, no one will come to our house." ”

Chuncao thought about it, too, who in the village doesn't know that his family is poor! I was relieved to follow out the door.

Lu Ziqi sent Chuncao to the door of his mother-in-law's house and said to Chuncao, "I'll come and pick you up later." Then he went to the village.

Chuncao entered her mother's yard, but there was no one in the yard and shouted, "Mother." ”

Chuncao Niang came out of the main house, "Chuncao is back." What's going on with your eyes, crying? Did Lu Ziqi bully you? ”

Chuncao rolled her eyes in her heart, and she knew that her mother would ask when she saw it, so she explained, "No, I drank a lot of water before going to bed last night, and my eyes are like this when I get up today." ”

After listening to the explanation, Chuncao Niang looked at Chuncao with some suspicion, and saw that Chuncao looked calm, so she was relieved, and looked behind Chuncao, but there was no one, so she asked, "Ziqi didn't come?" ”

Chuncao shook her head, "He has something to do, and he will come over in a while, what about my brother and sister-in-law?" ”

"I'm chopping wood, it's going to be winter soon, I have to prepare firewood for the winter, you two can't be too lazy, you have to prepare quickly, otherwise how will you spend this winter."

"Mother, we are going to renovate the house, the house is all thatched, it hasn't rained for two months, I estimate that the house will leak everywhere when it rains, and it is estimated that it will block the cold wind in winter, so it will be even more annoying."

"That house should be renovated, is the money enough, not enough to have more than ten taels of silver at home, I will spend it for you first." Chuncao Niang was worried that the two of them would not have enough money, so she saved some money over the years, and spent seven or eight taels on Chuncao's marriage, and there were more than ten taels left.

"It's enough, Lu Ziqi's father and mother left more than 100 taels of silver, I went to the town with Lu Ziqi yesterday and sold the recipe for braised meat, 8,000 taels of silver."

"Eight, eight thousand taels?" Chuncao Niang looked at Chuncao in surprise, and began to stutter when she spoke.

"Yes, eight thousand taels." Chuncao didn't have any concept of silver in ancient times, even if he heard Wan Feng explain what the concept of eight thousand taels was, he was surprised at the time.

"That recipe is worth eight thousand taels?" Chuncao Niang couldn't believe it.

"Of course, that's ...... That's a unique secret recipe that Lu Ziqi's family doesn't pass on," Chuncao almost said in a suffrage, it was a secret recipe she brought from modern times.

Chuncao Niang looked at Chuncao in a daze, her Chuncao is really a blessed one, this Lu Ziqi is not really a poor nerd, not only has more than 100 taels of savings in the family, but this family heirloom house can be sold for 8,000 taels, so much silver, it can't be spent in a few lifetimes.

"Mother, we renovated the yard and have no place to live, so we have to move back to live for a while." Chuncao spoke, and Chuncao Niang came back to her senses.

"Don't talk about so much silver, if you are targeted by thieves, it will be troublesome, you know." Chuncao Niang did not feel at ease and ordered Chuncao.

"I know, it's going to be winter soon, we have to renovate as soon as possible, Lu Ziqi has already gone to find someone, we have to move here as soon as possible." Haruka returned to the topic of renovating the yard.

"Well, it's as soon as possible, there will be more than half a month at most, when your brother and sister-in-law come back, I'll let them clean up the house, and you guys will move over first."

The two of them had been standing at the door of the main house talking, Chuncao Niang remembered Lu Ziqi's clothes, so she spoke, "Go into the house, I have finished Ziqi's clothes, I have made three sets for him, and the light-colored one has also made a set for you, you go and see how it is." ”

After saying that, the two entered the house together.
