Back in the store, Qi Ning asked Zhu Xiuwen to put his luggage in the upside-down room, and let Tie Niu take him upstairs and downstairs to look around, and let Han Dong teach him to keep accounts according to Qi Ning's method.

Qi Ning carried two packets of dim sum and went to Carpenter Lu's shop again. Carpenter Lu was packing up tools in the yard, and when he saw Qi Ningxian, he greeted the New Year with a smile: "Miss Qi, have a good New Year." ”

"Happy New Year for Uncle, Happy New Year for Auntie, Happy New Year for Third Uncle....." Qi Ning greeted the Lu family who heard the voices coming out one after another.

"It just so happens that Uncle Lu is also here, and I have a job this time and I want to ask the two uncles for help. I don't know if you're free? ”

"Miss Qi, please come to the house, I haven't taken a job just after the New Year." Lu Laosan was very happy, it seemed that Qi Ning was going to build the houses he showed him last time. I fell asleep early in the morning and was kicked out by my wife to help my eldest brother carry things, and I actually took over a big business.

"That's right, didn't I buy a few acres of land in Zhujia Village last year, and also bought a hill, I want to build some houses under the mountain, covering an area of 40 acres, a total of 81 yards. There is also a bamboo house on the mountain, as well as furniture, doors and windows. I still want to bother Uncle Lu to help me do it, and I have to work with Uncle Lu to pave a path up the mountain with stone slabs. ”

Qi Ning said and put the snack in his hand on the table.

"Girl, this business is thriving, and now she is going to build a house again. I heard that you are married to Wang Zhutou? ”

Mrs. Lu brought Qi Ning a cup of tea and said enviously.

She was optimistic about Qi Ning at the beginning, and asked the Wu family to inquire, but the Wu family said that the girl with filial piety did not mention family affairs, and her son was twenty years old, so she forced him to marry her niece.

"Thank you, auntie, how can I earn a lot of silver alone, it's Jing Su, oh is the original king of the Yamen, he is now on an errand in the capital, he left the silver and said that he wanted to build a house, and he went to live in the summer, I thought that since I built it, I simply got a Zhuangzi." Qi Ning took the tea and said.

"When is the girl going to start building?" Boss Lu looked at the old woman in disgust and motioned for her to go out.

"If the two uncles are free, they will follow me tomorrow to see the place, and we will talk about it when we get to the details."

"Okay. We'll go and see the girl early tomorrow morning. Lu Laosan stood up excitedly, he has been a bricklayer for so many years, and he rarely receives such a big job.

"Then tomorrow morning, I will wait for the two uncles at the city gate. Everyone, stay on your feet. Qi Ning said goodbye to everyone and left.

What Qi Ning didn't pay attention to was a pair of jealous red eyes behind her, looking at her back hatefully.

This is the daughter-in-law that Lu Dazhuang married, after getting married, Lu Dazhuang has been lukewarm to her, and later listened to the neighbors chatting about her, she realized that Lu Dazhuang liked Qi Ning wholeheartedly, but Qi Ning pushed the marriage, Lu Dazhuang couldn't bear the toss of his mother's crying, making trouble and hanging himself before marrying herself, and she hated Qi Ning since then.

Mrs. Lu saw that her daughter-in-law's eyes were not good, and sighed: "You don't have to hate other people's Miss Qi, not to mention that people have taken care of a lot of our family's business in the past two years, even at the beginning, it was just wishful thinking between me and your father-in-law, and other girls didn't mean that at all." ”

When Lu Dazhuang's daughter-in-law heard her mother-in-law say this, her eyes instantly turned red: "My daughter-in-law knows." ”

She didn't know whether she should resent Qi Ning, but she didn't know who to resent anymore, what her parents said at the beginning, how rich the Lu family was, how good Lu Dazhuang was, but she didn't say that he already had someone in his heart.

Qi Ning, who was unaware, told Qi Fugui to go to Zhujia Village with her in a car early the next morning, she was now an adult, and it was not good to take a car with the two old men.

When Qi Ning arrived at the West City Gate, the Lu family brothers were already waiting, Qi Ning poked his head out to say hello, and took them to Zhujia Village one after the other.

After passing through the woods behind the village and stopping the car on the dry land, Qi Ning took out a stack of drawings and pointed to them one by one and told Lu Laosan: "Just build according to the painted front and back, there is a spring on the mountain, you can build me a three-room bamboo house by the spring, with a living room in the middle and a bedroom on both sides." Build a cooking shed in the back. Make me some bamboo furniture in the bamboo house. ”

"Miss Qi, there are so many houses, I will build a bamboo house for you myself, and I won't charge any money." Lu Laosan's body estimated.

"Then I'll thank the third uncle, let's say that we must give me all the work at the end of May."

"Time is so rushed, then I need to hire more people."

"You can hire people, as long as the work is done for me, and it is better to hire from this village first, and if it is not enough, you can hire others." Qi Ning is now bent on making the people of this village earn more.

"Okay, according to what the girl said, I will call all my brothers and sisters, as well as the craftsmen I know well, and I will definitely deliver the work to the girl before May."

"We still have the old rules, my brother builds a house here, I make the furniture first, and I also help build the bamboo house, and the furniture of the bamboo house is my congratulatory gift to the girl. When the house is erected, I will make doors and windows, and if it can't be done, I will hire someone. Carpenter Lu also promised.

"Then Uncle Lu will go home and calculate the price, and tell me when it's done."

Qi Ning said and handed the drawings separately to the two of them.

Qi Zhong and the others saw Qi Ning coming with someone on the mountain, and they hurriedly came over to greet them.

"Qi Zhong, Qiao Niang, we will build a house here in a while, and when the time comes, the two of you will help take good care of the chickens and ducks, and I will ask your father to pull a few more in a few days, and if the shed is not enough, you can build a few more."

Qi Zhong and Qiao Niang hurriedly agreed, and now the girl's business is getting bigger and bigger, and they have more hope to follow.

On February Erlong raised his head, Lu Laosan asked his apprentices to carry bamboo poles and set off two firecrackers, and they broke ground.

Because Qiao Niang went to Zhujia Village, Qi Ning and Handong went to the kitchen to help, Qi Fugui also helped with chores, and when the shop closed, Qi Ning carefully checked the doors and windows, and when he returned to the back, it was already late.

Han Dong is sewing clothes under the lamp, looking at the style should be Qi Ning's skirt. Now that Han Dong is getting older day by day, Qi Ning won't let her be in front, and only do some odd jobs in the back.

"The girl is back." Han Dong raised his head and continued to sew the last few stitches.

Qi Ning snatched the clothes from her hand: "The black light is blind, don't have eyes." ”

"Girl, I heard Uncle Qi say that there are a lot of wild things in the mountains, I'm afraid that they will harm chickens and ducks, let's buy some geese and raise them, right?"

"What do you do with geese, you can buy a few goose eggs if you want to. If not, get a few dogs. ”

"Girl, don't you know, the goose is not only a dog that cares for the house, but also a natural enemy of weasels and snakes. They are also afraid of goose droppings, and it is said that weasels will rot their feet when they step on them, and when there are geese on the mountain, weasels and snakes dare not go there. ”

"Okay, tomorrow you go to the vendor to buy twenty geese, and then buy five catties of meat for Qi Zhong and his family, buy some vegetable seeds, and let Uncle Qi send them over. Tell Qi Zhong to open a few more vegetable plots, he can eat them himself, and we can eat the others ourselves, and they can be used in the shop. ”

Han Dong went to boil water and let Qi Ning wash.

In April, Qi Ning received a letter from Jing Su, which instructed Qi Ning to wait for him obediently, saying that King Ning was about to be made the crown prince, but he could not come back for the time being, and he could not resign until King Ning succeeded to the throne.

Although Jing Su is a reckless man who doesn't read much, his words are vigorous and powerful.

"Stinky man, I know let me wait and wait, if you don't come back for the New Year, I'll go and plan your leg."

Qi Ning replied with a line of words: I, through the wind, through the rain, through the millennium, just for you. Then it was tightly sealed with a candle and sent to the post station in person.

At the beginning of May, a notice was posted at the gate of the city: Li Yu, the third son of the emperor, succeeded to the crown prince.

The fields of Zhujia Village had begun to harvest early rice, and Qi Ning instructed Zhu Xiuwen to take his second brother Zhu Xiuwu to be responsible for counting the harvest.

When everyone sells the grain and hands over the house, they will collect the rent together.

On May 27, Lu Laosan came early in the morning and asked Qi Ning to go to Zhujia Village for acceptance.

When they arrived in the village, hundreds of people were waiting there, and when they saw Qi Ning getting out of the car, they all hula-la-la

"Qi Dongjia, the house is built, let's go and have a look."

"Qi Dongjia, this yard is too beautiful, I want to choose a big one first."

"Why do you choose first, listen to the owner, and the owner will give it to whoever he says."

"Why, just rely on the deed I signed first."

"You signed the deed yourself, and no one in the whole village signed it except Zhu Datou?"
