Chapter 138: Digging Stones and Building Sheds

Ah Mei's face was red, her eyes were squinting and smiling, and she was holding a bamboo sieve with a rag on it, and the sound of young chicks continued to come. "Ya-Wen * Yan + Love $ First @ Hair".

Li Xin hurriedly took the sieve in her hand and counted the chicks on it, there were twenty-seven of them.

Ah Mei wiped her face and said, "I can't hold the hen, I told people to hug it tomorrow, it is the hen that holds the nest, and it is just right to bring the chicks." He took another sip of water and said, "Sister-in-law, is my eldest brother building a chicken shed outside?" ”

"Hmm." After thinking about it, Li Xin glanced at Ah Mei again: "Your eldest brother is afraid that he is in a bad mood, and he didn't talk much when he came back." ”

Ah Mei suddenly said nervously: "Why are you in a bad mood?" What happened? ”

Li Xin slightly guessed that it was because he saw Guan Wu's work, but he really didn't know what he was thinking, so he shook his head and said, "Hurry up and sit down in the hall, I'll call your eldest brother back for dinner." ”

Thinking that the chicks had just hatched, I was afraid that they were still eager for temperature and couldn't be cold, so Li Xin took two small benches and put them side by side in front of the stove door, and the temperature was higher.

Yang'er took a spoon and drank the fish soup, and a fish was gnawed clean. Li Xin touched his stomach and said, "I'll eat some food at night, but don't eat if you're really full." ”

"Got it, mother." Yang'er nodded, and Li Xin asked him to go to the hall with his aunt, and he took the rice retort and put it over, and Ah Mei helped set up the dishes and chopsticks.

Guan Wen was still busy, Li Xin walked towards the southeast corner, pulled him and said, "Let's go eat first, it's not too late to do this tomorrow, the hen hasn't been brought back yet." ”

The roof of the shed is built on one side, and it is built with the inner core of bamboo strips, that is, the kind of worthless bamboo that they use as firewood after drying, which is thick and can also be well protected from rain.

listened to Li Xin's words. Guan Wen stopped, scooped up water from the stove and washed it, paced to the hall in silence, and ate the meal absentmindedly.

He looked a little dazed. So I didn't pay attention to eating fish, and when I felt a little uncomfortable swallowing, I stopped my chopsticks and covered my neck and said, "Xin'er, I was stuck by a fish bone." ”

Li Xin hurriedly put down his chopsticks and scooped a bowl of fish soup for him: "You swallow and see if you can swallow the fish bones." ”

Guan Wen did so, and Lao Guan muttered on the side: "How old a person is, you have to be stuck like a little baby when you eat fish, and Yang'er is not stuck when she eats fish." ”

The whole family stopped chopsticks. Yang'er looked at Guan Wen worriedly and shouted "Dad".

Guan Wen was very embarrassed, and he also felt that it was a shame for him to be stuck by the fish bone, but he couldn't swallow the fish bone after swallowing it for a long time. "Ya-Wen * Yan + Love $ First @ Hair"

Li Xin had no choice but to go to the stove and pour vinegar for him to drink and soften the fish bones.

After tossing for a while, the fish bones were considered to be in his stomach, Guan Wen's mouth was very dry and sour, but fortunately, Li Xin had prepared warm water for him earlier, and he was holding the warm water and drinking it clean.

Lao Guan took chopsticks and knocked on the bowl: "Eat, eat!" ”

The whole family continued to eat.

After dinner, I walked in the courtyard to eat, and Ah Mei hugged Yang'er to play. Li Xin quickly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and then walked back to the hall, where a shadow sat in the dark. She was not afraid, she walked over and sat next to the shadow, thinking about it, she still took the candle out and lit it, Guan Wen's somewhat tired scar face appeared in front of Li Xin.

Li Xin didn't speak, sat with him, and after a while, Guan Wen said in a muffled voice: "It's late, hurry up and go to sleep." ”

Li Xin stared at him tightly, and Guan Wen sighed: "I'm fine." ”

"Are you okay sitting here alone without a sound?" Li Xin asked him rhetorically: "You can get stuck in eating a fish, isn't there something on your mind?" ”

Guan Wen rubbed the corners of his forehead: "It's really fine, it's just a little tired." ”

Li Xin walked behind him and gave him a back massage. Fingers pressed against his temples, and repeated movements on the acupuncture points of his brain to relax him, and after a while, he stopped, but still leaned behind him.

Guan Wen covered Li Xin's two arms hanging down from his shoulders and rubbed them carefully, and said softly: "Today, I went to find the second brother and went along the place where he worked." ”

"Hmm." Li Xin said sullenly: "I also heard Xing'er say it." Your second brother has recently been looking for a job and wants to save some money for himself. ”

After being silent for a while, Guan Wencai said: "The second brother is going to the Dagui River to help people dig stones." ”

Dagui River is the main river of Hui County, although it does not flow through Lotus Village, but because its tributaries develop in Lotus Village, so that Lotus Village has abundant water sources, and there are countless natural ponds with all kinds of potholes. And one of the three treasures of Huixian County is produced on the edge of the Dagui River beach - strange stones.

It is true that some people began to make a fortune by relying on strange stones, but this thing depends on people's luck, and if there is no luck to touch rare stones, it is for nothing.

Hearing Guan Wen say this, Li Xin frowned and asked, "The second brother helped people dig stones?" ”

"Well, there is a family that hires people to dig stones, and they want to find more strange stones to participate in the gemstone party held during the cold this year." Guan Wen was silent: "Because it is a rich family and the salary is also high, the second brother signed up and didn't say hello to the family." ”

Li Xin sighed: "The second brother has the intention to make money and save money, and he also wants to save some of his own silver without it." ”

"I'm not talking about that." Guan Wen sighed and said: "The second brother wants to save some money by himself, it's his business, but although the job of helping people dig stones gets a lot of money and is a daily settlement, it's just very dangerous, what can I do if I accidentally go to the river?" Besides, from time to time a big rock will be rolled down......"

Guan Wen shook his head: "I asked him to quit his job and go back with me, but his temper still came up, so he didn't want to." (Fastest update)"

Li Xin said: "Then what? ”

"Then I sat aside and waited for him, and finally he was uncomfortable, so he got off work early and came back with me, but like a stuffy gourd, he didn't say a word, and when he got home, he turned into the door, and he shouldn't knock on his house." Guan Wen smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid I think I'm delaying him to find money." ”

"What are you thinking about, the second brother is honest, can you think of those?" Li Xin pushed him, and Fu sat next to him again and said, "Don't think about that much, you don't know what the second brother has planned, what are you doing with a foot on the side in vain?" The two brothers might as well spread out their hearts and say, hasn't the second brother always liked you very much and respected you? Take out your courage to be someone's big brother, if he has any difficulties, you can help more. ”

Li Xin said this, in fact, a bit of a lead for Xing'er. Ring a wake-up call to Guan Wen first, and then Xing'er persuaded Guan Wu to come to Guan Wen and Lao Guan to talk about Xiang, it would be best if Guan Wen could remember this stubble.

Just listening to Guan Wen's ears, his daughter-in-law meant that he wanted him to carry Guan Wu more. Their family now has a surplus. Life is getting better day by day, there is no loss of food and clothing, it is difficult for his daughter-in-law to think of his brother, Guan Wen was moved in his heart.

When even said, "I'll talk to him tomorrow." ”

"Dare to love that you are not happy to eat today and get distracted by fish bones, you just think that the second brother is unfamiliar with you, blame you for delaying him to find money?" Li Xin couldn't cry or laugh: "It's such a big person, and it's still in the eyes of children." I think about it a lot. ”

Guan Wen touched his head, laughed dryly, and volunteered to boil water for Li Xin to use before going to sleep at night. Li Xin laughed at him a few more words before stopping.

Husband and wife see that flirting and scolding is to spice up life, if it goes too far, it is difficult to ensure that Guan Wen will not be angry. Li Xin took it when she saw it, filled it with water and washed Yang'er's face and feet and drove him to sleep in the middle, and Ah Mei also washed up and slept inside.

At the door of the bedroom, Guan Wen took Li Xin's hand and crooked it for a while. whispered in her ear: "This monk still needs me to stay up for a month...... said that his hand was a little irregular back and forth on Li Xin's waist and hips.

Li Xin laughed and slapped him, looked around, and glanced at him with disgust. quickly kissed him on the face and said, "Bear with me, it's good to eat vegetarian for a while, but the meat and meat are too oily and hurt." ”

"I'm not a big meat ...... meat," Guan Wen got tired of leaning over to Li Xin's ear and blowing: "Few people enter the mountains and forests......"

Li Xin naturally understood such suggestive words, but she could only be the one who spoiled the fun, pushed Guan Wen and said: "Few people enter the house, it means that there must be danger inside, we can't go in easily, what if we encounter danger?" ”

Guan Wen was annoyed, Li Xin felt slightly proud, and comforted the hungry man a few words. drove him back to the house.

Ah Mei was already eating and laughing in the bed tent.

Li Xin glanced at her, plugged in the deadbolt, took off her clothes and shoes, and went to bed, and immediately encountered a small soft body beside her, turned sideways Li Xin held the unknown Yang'er in her arms, and said, "Your aunt is bad, eavesdropping on your mother talking to your father." also made fun of my mother. ”

In the dark, Ah Mei's face turned red, "Sister-in-law, don't be wronged......"

"You know for yourself whether I wronged you or not." Li Xin snorted lightly: "Yang'er, in order to punish your aunt, I won't let your aunt sleep with you tonight, is it okay for my mother to sleep with you?" ”

Yang'er nodded obediently, "Mother sleeps with Yang'er." ”

"The sister-in-law cheats, and the communiqué has a personal vendetta." Ah Mei pursed her mouth, but she made herself laugh, and Li Xin also laughed. The two of them pulled the quilt a little in the middle.

Early in the morning of the second day, Li Xin saw Guan Wen busy working in front of the chicken shed, and repaired the fence that he had made five jumps yesterday, piling up the straw pole to one foot, and putting a layer of wooden planks on the rest of the muddy ground.

Seeing Li Xin coming out, Guan Wen hurriedly said, "Up? ”

"Hmm." Li Xin frowned slightly: "When will you get up and get busy?" He looked at the sky again: "It's not dawn yet." ”

"I can't sleep and I get up." Saying that, he leaned over and whispered, "My heart is itching......

Li Xin gave him a split, Guan Wen immediately called out, and immediately covered his mouth and glared at Li Xin.

"That's what I think about in broad daylight." Li Xin snorted lightly, Guan Wen made a bitter face, and put his hand on her shoulder: "Everyone can be like me, my daughter-in-law is by my side, I can only watch and not eat." ”

Li Xin pursed his lips and smiled, and pointed to the chicken shed he built: "That's it?" ”

"Alright, alright!" Guan Wen hurriedly offered treasure: "I heard that the chicken coop should not be too clean, and the chickens should find stones to eat by themselves, but I am afraid that it will rain and the mud will overflow, so I built a layer of wooden planks underneath." But this chicken coop is ready, and the eggs are laid here, okay? The roof is also erected, rest assured, it will definitely not be blown down. ”

Li Xin was very satisfied, so he nodded and said, "Awen, your skills are good." ”

"Is there a reward for that...... Guan Wen came up with a shy face, Li Xin chuckled, thought about it, and said something in front of him, Guan Wen's face immediately lit up.
