Chapter 187: It's Cold and Not Snowy
Zhou Weiji saw that the little girl was serious, so he also asked with a straight face: "What do you think?" ”
"Brother Su is here, and it's a little inappropriate to live in the wing. Brother Su has backbone and opinions, and he will not want to send people under the fence for a long time, no matter how well we treat him, he will feel uncomfortable, which is not conducive to recuperation. Lan Yi pondered and said, "I think the courtyard on the east side of this courtyard has been empty and no one lives in it, does the second brother know whose house is that courtyard?" If you ask the master's family whether the yard is for sale, if it is sold, you can discuss with Brother Su to buy it in his name and let him settle in the village. Next year, when the house is rebuilt, two sets of yards will be built together, and a small door will be opened on the courtyard wall, so that Brother Su will have an independent yard, and it will be convenient for us to take care of him, and the people in the village can talk less gossip. Second brother, what do you think? ”
In addition to considering Su Yongshen's feelings, Lan Yi is also for her own comfortable life, and there is no problem in taking care of Su Yongshen's diet, but she also wants to have her own living space.
Lan Yi's idea made Zhou Weiji's eyes light up. yes, he didn't think of it himself! The eldest brother lives in the city, and the younger sister Zhao has many opinions, perhaps because they live in the same courtyard, if they can buy another set of adjacent courtyards for the eldest brother, it is very suitable from any point of view.
"One by one, that's right! Indeed, it is safe. To the east is the uncle's old house, and in addition to this, they have a newly built yard in the west of the village. However, the uncle's family all went to Dengzhou City and did not come back to live on weekdays. I'll write a letter to my uncle, and I'll be able to do it. ”
Lan Yi happily showed a mouth full of small shell teeth and smiled cutely, "I'll leave these to the second brother." I've always wondered why our row of courtyards is so much longer than the courtyards of other houses in the village. ”
The courtyards of people like Second Uncle Wang, Zhao Lizheng and others are all square, only this row is a long courtyard. Lan Yi once measured that the courtyard where she lived was forty meters wide from east to west and sixty meters long, and Zhou Weiji's length was the same as hers, only the width was narrower.
"When we enclose the land in this row of yards, it is a waste to set up a row of yards, and there is not enough space in two rows, and many families can't look down on it, and they feel that the yard that is not square does not gather wealth." Zhou Weiji looked at her like a curious baby, and patiently explained, "Besides, there are few adults in our place, and everyone likes to live in the middle of the village for safety and excitement." Although we live on the side, the walls of the courtyard are so high that wild beasts can't jump in. ”
Can a square yard still gather wealth? Lan Yi had never heard of this. However, she now understands why the wall of her yard is high, and there are no trees such as peaches, apricots, plums and other trees planted on the side of the courtyard wall like many houses in the village, so as to prevent wild beasts from jumping in.
"When the land is bought, when we build the courtyard wall, we will also build it higher." Bought the courtyard on the east side of Zhou Weiji to build a house, they are the people closest to the hillside in the northeast corner of the village, and it is also necessary to build a higher courtyard wall.
Zhou Weiji saw her serious appearance, thinking that she couldn't reach the wall when she stepped on a small stool, and she had to hug her by herself every time, which was good, "Okay, the circle is higher, there is a small door open in the middle of the yard, and it's okay if you are short." ”
Being short is Lan Yi's fatal wound, "I used to be very tall!" Didn't the second brother find out, I'm already as tall as the third brother and sister this year, and I will definitely be able to catch up with the second brother and sister next year! "Among the three concubines, Chen is taller than Liu, Liu is taller than Lan Yi, this year Lan Yi has grown a lot taller, and has surpassed Liu, which makes her quite proud, and she herself thinks that surpassing Chen is just around the corner. Who made her the youngest of the three concubines?
Seeing her wide-eyed and puffed out, Zhou Weiji felt very cute, pulled her over and hugged her in her arms and rubbed it, "Well, I definitely can." ”
Previously tall man? When I first saw her last year, she stood by the gate with only half of her body exposed, and she was shorter than she is now. Zhou Weiji thought of the fact that she said that she was not Chun Tao or a person in the world, she didn't speak, and he didn't ask much.
Zhou Weiji is like this, he coaxed her like a child! Lan Yi rolled her eyes, and then got down to business, "Brother Tuesday, when I encircled the courtyard wall, I also built a thatched house according to my courtyard, and dug a pit and a pigsty behind it, and the Zhao bricklayer in our village will do it." ”
Now there are many such thatched houses in the village, and Zhou Weiji has seen them, "But do you still want to dig a cellar?" I think it's convenient to put things. ”
"No, there's enough cellar for us." Lan Yi shook her head, but she always felt that something was wrong, "Huh! Second brother, when did you go to the cellar to see it? ”
Zhou Wei was stunned and said in a sullen voice, "After rescuing you and the child from the thieves in July, I was afraid that there would be an ambush at home, so I carefully checked it every night, and naturally went down to see the cellar." ”
Lan Yi remembered those days and sighed in her heart, "Second brother, thank you for your hard work." ”
Zhou Wei was extremely silent, and put his big hands on her weak shoulders and lower abdomen, when she was kicked and injured, she was distraught but could only protect silently.
Lan Yi felt his thoughts, "Second brother, my injury has healed early, and it doesn't hurt at all." ”
"......" Zhou Wei muttered extremely lowly, but Lan Yi didn't hear clearly.
"After the house is built, I will decorate the furniture and bedding in the house, okay?" This is also afraid that he will not use her because he will not have enough money, and now to build two houses, the silver will definitely be more, "The furniture should have been married to the woman." ”
Zhou Weiji nodded, still gently kneading her shoulders.
"Second brother, the dumplings and buns I prepared recently, which one do you like to eat, I'll get more." Lan Yi has packed a lot of leek shrimp, mushroom pork, cabbage pork, vegetarian dumplings and wontons these days, and she has also steamed a lot of sauerkraut pork and dried purslane cooked pork that her two children love to eat, all of which are Zhou Weiji's share. Zhou Weiji couldn't bear to wait for her to come back every day to deliver food, and told her that she didn't have to wait for herself, so after Lan Yi wrapped the dumplings and steamed buns were frozen, she asked Yu'er and Wenxuan to come over and bring them to him when she learned boxing with him, and Zhou Weiji came back and cooked them by himself.
Zhou Weiji was really distracted, and said embarrassedly: "The smoked sausage you make is even better than the ones sold in the city." It's better to tell me how I did it one by one, and I will also learn to get some of it. ”
Her enemas are made of real and good meat, and the seasoning is carefully prepared by her and Jia's, and smoked according to modern technology, the taste is naturally not bad.
Lan Yi laughed: "Second brother doesn't have to learn, I'll just pour some more." In addition to this flavor, there are several other flavors that are also good. But the second brother can't just eat meat, you also have to eat the vegetables I sent, otherwise it's easy to get angry. You can also boil some porridge to eat yourself to nourish your stomach. ”
Seeing her frowning and waiting for her reply, Zhou Weiji smiled: "Silly girl, I have spent all these years alone, and I know how to take care of myself." ”
After the freezing rain in late autumn until after the light snow solar term, there was no snowfall, and the weather was cold and hot so that the elderly and children with weak resistance began to have symptoms such as cough, runny nose, and fever.
The sachets, incense and medicines made by Lan Yi and Jia Shi to prevent similar diseases are now working, and Lan Yi has given medicines from people she knows, and they themselves use them every day, and the two children are not sick. At this time, Lan Yi became more aware of the value of Jia's family, and had a deep study of adjusting meals and regulating the body according to weather changes, and their family benefited a lot.
Everyone in the village knew that Lan Yi had dried a lot of herbs, and when someone in the family was sick and couldn't afford to buy medicine, they asked the second sister-in-law and the Liu family to ask Lan Yi for medicine, so that they could go back and feed it to their family for treatment. After leaving enough medicinal materials for her own use, Lan Yi was not stingy, and asked Jia Shi for her symptoms, as long as she said that she could use the medicinal materials, Lan Yi would pack some for them to take back, and the medicine money was naturally not charged, and she also told everyone to open the windows for ventilation, smoke vinegar in the house to remove the smell, and also take a bath and change clothes frequently.
The people in the village took the medicine prescribed by Lan Yi's family, and a few pairs of medicines for minor illnesses such as colds and colds would be fine, and they were grateful to Lan Yi and Jia's family, and brought eggs, meat and other good things to the door to thank them. Therefore, the news that Aunt Jia's Aunt of Widow Lan's family would see a doctor and grab medicine quickly spread throughout the village, and even the surrounding villagers came to ask for medicine, and the little medicinal materials that Lan Yi had in stock were soon gone. And Lan Yi and Jia Shi were very low-key, they both said that they could only look at minor illnesses, and persuaded everyone to go to Langzhong to diagnose the pulse when they were seriously ill, but fortunately, at this time, Zhou Langzhong in Zhoujia Village next door and Jishantang in the city also started free clinics and medicines, so that the injury of the disease did not spread further. However, there were still three frail old people in Beigou Village who died of illness, and this sadness was not diluted until Zhao Zhongxuan returned.
He only rushed back two days before the second sister of the Zhao family got married, and he brought a lot of things with a large bag, and Mrs. Zhao, who was so happy that she was looking at the entrance of the village every day, hugged him with tears in her eyes and couldn't stop beating. Zhao Zhongxuan was already sweet-mouthed, and a few words coaxed the old lady to burst into laughter, and the family was very lively to marry their daughter.
On the day of returning, Lan Yi also brought her two children over to join in the fun, the Zhao family's banquet is a high-grade eight cold and eight hot, cold dishes and hot dishes are four meat and four vegetarian, chicken, fish, elbows. In addition to meat dishes, vegetarian dishes are also very long-faced, Uncle Zhao also deducted a greenhouse, the first batch of vegetables have grown and sold for money, and the noodles are all home-grown vegetables. Eight large tables were set up in the courtyard, and the people in the village sent representatives to eat and praise them. It is said that it is more upgrade than marrying a daughter-in-law on Thursday last year, so that the newly married daughter-in-law Hu Shi, who came to eat noodles on Thursday, had a very unsightly face, and frequently looked at Lan Yi with slanted eyes.
Lan Yi was inexplicably looked at by her, how did she know that the Hu family thought in her heart that it was because Lan Yi taught everyone to grow greenhouses that the Zhao family could put up such a table.
Lan Yi was much more oblique by her, and naturally glared back unhappily, who wouldn't be bigger than her eyes!
When Zhao Zhongxuan, who was full of red faces, came over to toast with his shy and shy brother-in-law, he was really startled when he saw Lan Yi staring at him with big eyes, thinking that he had shown an expression that he shouldn't have, so he hurriedly put on his face and tidied up his clothes.
Zhao Zhongxuan followed Zhang Pingyu and Wang Chengde and others to learn to do business, coupled with the continuous indoctrination of the sixth son, he lightened Lan Yi's indescribable mind a little, and replaced it with a strong admiration.
After the second sister of the Zhao family was busy with her family affairs, Zhao Zhongxuan rushed back to Meixian County, saying that the business there was too busy and he couldn't get out. The old couple of the Zhao family were also very relieved that their son was so busy, and they didn't stop it, and through Wang Linyuan's relay, Lan Yi also knew that the business of Qingshan Fresh Fruit and other businesses on Messi's side was quite smooth.
Also, what made Lan Yi even happier was the letter brought by her father Wang Chengde, Wang Mingli's side and Wang Tiangui and Wang Tianzhu had a quarrel over the store. Wang Tiangui is not shrewd, but Wang Tianzhu is not easy to deal with, which makes Wang Mingli scratch his head. On the other hand, Wang Mingli's shop in the big house was taken back by Mrs. Zhou and handed over to Wang Chengde to take care of, and Wang Mingli's own shop was also greatly affected. He played tricks several times and was calculated by Wang Chengde and others, which made him frustrated everywhere and did not dare to act rashly.
In the letter that Xia Wantuo Zhao Zhongxuan brought to Lan Yi, in addition to mentioning that she and the child were well, she also spent a few pages discussing Meixian's business with her.
After the heavy snowfall, the sky still hasn't snowed, Lan Yi was worried about the dozens of greenhouses planted by Xiao Qi, so she rode a donkey to check it, but she didn't think about it, but she met Xiao Qi with a haggard face in the greenhouse.
Sitting in a room full of green cucumber seedlings full of yellow flowers, Xiao Qi was in a daze, and when she saw Lan Yi come in and stared at her for a long time, she smirked and asked, "Sister-in-law Wang, why do you only grow one cucumber strip with seven or eight flowers on each cucumber leaf?" ”R1152
