Chapter 3 I like this wooden house in ancient settlements
When I arrived at the village chief, Mrs. Zhang also arrived.
explained his intention to the village chief, and the village chief asked Lu Zeming's ancestral home and the reason for coming here.
Seeing that he was tall and handsome, and spoke politely, the village chief nodded appreciatively, telling him to be good to the girls in their village, etc.
Then I asked for our birth date and name, etc., and as a witness, we issued a marriage certificate.
A little embarrassed in the process, interrogating me what his name was, I realized that we haven't signed up for each other yet!
After everything was done, Mrs. Zhang stared at Lu Zeming with a smile on her face, and rubbed her hands vigorously!
Coming, coming, asking for money.
I was just about to step forward, but I saw Lu Zeming stuffing his hand into the small package, touching, flipping, pulling a few times, and feeling out a handful of copper plates.
counted twenty wen for Mrs. Zhang, twenty wen for the village chief, and the remaining a few for Meng Si'er as errands.
I secretly feel distressed in my heart, this papaya, what is the money for Meng Si, the days of lack of money in the future are ahead!
Mrs. Zhang was not too little, she happily took the money and left, and picked up the money for nothing in the morning!
The three girls of Meng Kui's family are all sick, and they don't want to be concubines, but they are married today, looking at this kid is good, but in good, knowing that the three girls have bones, it is estimated that they don't want her, okay, this is not our business as outsiders! Mrs. Zhang rushed away and thought about it!
Liu secretly hated in his heart, this stupid big man is also stupid, why do you have twenty wen for the village chief, do people lack your twenty wen, it is better to give it to her.
So Liu put down his cruel words, and from now on, the water spilled by the married girl was making do with her in front of her door, and her legs were discounted.
So, Meng Kui's family left!
The village chief looked at Meng Kui's family and shook his head, sighed, and took the twenty wen on the table into his hand.
He saw it all just now, and the kid felt in the package for a long time before he found out the money.
The village head, Meng De, handed the money back into Lu Zeming's hands.
Lu Zeming was just about to resign, but the village chief waved his hand, "You are just about to get together to live, and there are more days to use money, young man, uncle told you, you married a girl from our bell village, you have to live a good life, don't look at the three girls like this, but there is something, I, as the village chief, have to intervene, you can keep the money!" ”
Uncle Meng said again: "That's right, old woman, you go, I remember you said before, our girl is almost ready, the red cloth is left for the child as a dowry, you take it out, give it to the three girls, we have two years, we will go to the market in the future, we are buying!"
The third aunt of the Meng family answered, turned around and walked towards the house!
To be honest, I can't express what I was moved by in words, in this era of economic backwardness and everyone taking care of themselves, Uncle Meng, the village head, can treat me like this, undoubtedly because he is afraid that I will be looked down upon by the man and support me!
In the blink of an eye, Aunt Meng came out of the back room with a small baggage.
Aunt Meng took my hand and explained: "There are eight feet of red cotton cloth here, buy some cotton, you can make a bed quilt yourself, and the rest of the fabric and the new aunt make a shirt, and there is a red hijab in it, and there is also a white veil, you child is poor since childhood, and he has grown up, hey, don't talk about this, you can come here to find your uncle if you have something, ah,"
I nodded vigorously, without refusal, after thanking Uncle Meng and Aunt Meng, I found a little girl, lying on the door of the inner room, looking at us, it should be Uncle Meng's little girl, Meng Ziling, I nodded at her and smiled!
The little girl blushed and shrank back.
Just when I was about to signal Lu Zeming to leave, he said wait, there is still something to say to Uncle Meng~
"Uncle Meng, I won't tell you, I just mentioned it, I have no family, and I originally planned to settle down around Fengling Town, but now that I am married to Rubing, then I naturally want to bother Uncle Meng, see if we have anyone here, there is a house that I want to sell, help me talk about it!
Of course, I still have some money, and it's enough to settle down! ”
Yo, sample, it's quite hidden, it turns out that there is still money!
I'm sure I'll be able to make money and support myself, but I'll have to deal with it for the past two days!
The village chief also seemed to be relieved, nodded, and his expression was a little lighter than before.
Uncle Meng thought and hesitated for a while, then glanced at me secretly from the corner of his eye, and said as if he had made up his mind, "There is no plan to sell the house in the village now, but there is a wooden house at the foot of the mountain outside the village, which was inhabited by a foreign hunter before, and no one has come back for more than ten years. ”
Uncle Meng looked at Lu Zeming, who was angry, and me, who was weak!
He denied his idea again, "Oh, forget it, it's really dangerous to go to other villages and ask!"
"Uncle Meng, you don't have to go anywhere else, it's there," I interjected.
Then he said, "Let's not say that our economic conditions are not good now, I feel that it is good to lean against the mountain, clean, it is convenient to collect firewood and wild vegetables, it is close to the river, and it is convenient to draft water, I am worried that there are wild beasts that can surround the fence and make some traps on the edge of the fence!" ”
Lu Zeming listened to my analysis, and nodded approvingly, okay, this mountain girl still has some brains,
When the village chief heard me say this, he stopped insisting on going elsewhere to help ask for the house.
He carried some more food, and said that we should be in a hurry for the next two days.
During this period, Lu Zeming gave those copper plates to Aunt Meng again, Aunt Meng refused, and Lu Zeming left everything he said.
Uncle Meng and Aunt Meng didn't shirk, but they scooped a bowl of white noodles again!
Uncle Meng led us to the wooden house at the foot of the mountain!
Soon at the foot of the mountain, a brown-red wooden house appeared in front of me!
The whole wooden house is nailed with two layers of wood inside and out, and it is polished brightly, and a layer of varnish is brushed, and it has not been lived in for more than ten years, but it has fallen some dust, so that there is no dilapidated feeling, and it is like a cottage in a modern tourist attraction village!
I'm so happy, I love this cabin so much, and I finally have a nest!
The village chief took out a key and unlocked the door, saying that it was given to him by the hunter and asked him to take care of it when no one was around.
When you enter the house, there is a stove room, which has a stove, a dining table, and some tools in the corner.
After the stove room, there was a room, and there was a cabinet in the corner of the room, and there was nothing in the cabinet!
There is a window on the wall to the south, a small window with four lattices, which can be opened on both sides, and it is also fashionable to use glass, like an old house in the modern countryside for decades!
This hunter is not an ordinary person, I see that the village still uses Korean paper to paste windows, and the price of glass is not cheap!
There was a small table under the window, which was polished smooth and flawless!
There's also a bed on the north ground! That's it for the whole, the standard for living!
Seeing that we were satisfied, Uncle Meng explained some more matters and left without staying longer.
It's just like this, it's almost noon, and I skipped breakfast and I'm even weaker, what should I do?
I saw that the big papaya also touched my belly!
The stove is there, there is food, and I can't starve to death, I'm a real rural child!
When my mother used to cook, I always helped her light the fire!
I'm so sad, I miss them, and I don't know how my mom and dad are doing now, so I just showed off my car and said I wanted to take them for a ride, hey, fortunately, I still have several sisters, I hope don't feel sorry for me!
Retracting my thoughts, I instructed the big papaya to pick up some dry firewood, after collecting the firewood, I found the bucket, asked him to wash the bucket and water tank, and went to the river to fetch water to fill the water tank, I directly found a shovel, found a basket, and went to the woods on the side of the mountain to find some wild vegetables.
Oops, what a discovery!
The nearby villagers did not come here to pick vegetables because of wild beasts more than ten years ago, and we were cheap, with large groups of oyster mushrooms on the trees, patches of fungus, and heavy leaves on the ground.
While digging, I stuffed a few sticks into my mouth, digging vegetables is addictive!
Fluttering, something, scare me!
I looked, there was a pheasant flying out in front of me, I just wanted to chase, think about this body, or forget it, but accidentally harvested a nest of wild eggs! Go home~
Lu Zeming and water have been arranged, I rummaged in the kitchen, found the fire fold, the two of us took turns to fight, made a long time, finally lit the fire, looked at each other, black and gray!
Without oil, it's not a problem for me as a foodie.
Boil half a pot of water, wash and tear strips of fresh mushrooms, high inside!
The white noodles given by Aunt Meng stirred half a pot of pimples with a basin, high inside!
Break up two wild eggs, high inside!
Freshly dug small garlic roots, kneaded into sections, high inside!
This great hunter, the pots and pans are ready, not to mention, the salt is still there, it shouldn't expire, Gao Litou!
Lu Zeming has never eaten anything like this, can he eat it without oil? But white, emerald green, so fragrant, so appetizing!
Hurriedly took the initiative to find a basin, washed the only two bowls, the chopsticks could not be used, went outside to find two branches, peeled the skin, and folded into chopsticks.
I've prepared the Gada soup here and got it out of the pot!
The two of us had a full meal! Let's start working on the afternoon!
"Why didn't you say that you had money before?" I asked.
"You didn't ask me!" Lu Zeming replied.
"Then you took so much trouble digging out the copper plate," I asked suspiciously, was he the one who was being searched?
"No, I really only have these dozens of texts, or the change I found when I stayed at the guest house!" Lu Zeming beat the drum in his heart, if she asks me how much money I have, should I tell the truth, I am not a liar!
"Oh, that's it, then we have something to talk about."
Halfway through my words, Lu Zeming thought to himself, here she came, she really asked!
I hesitated and continued, "I think so, no matter how much money is your pre-marital property, but we are like this now, we may need you to purchase some daily necessities, and the rest we have to think about how to make money, use the money we earn to improve our living standards, and the money we are saving belongs to common property!" ”
Lu Zeming was excited at the time, and he couldn't stop nodding, this girl, her ideological consciousness is too high!
He himself thinks the same way, his money is not because he is stingy and does not take it, but because he must study hard and participate in the scientific examination!
This needs to be entangled, and he has never done any business, he will not make money, if he doesn't save some, what if he sits on the mountain empty! Scientific research is his father's expectation of him!
I'm not a person who likes to take advantage of others, seeing that Lu Zeming has no objection, let him go to the county town in the afternoon to buy some necessities, oil, and his own quilt, if you can buy some food, as well as needlework.
I don't know how to make quilts, but there are ready-made fabrics, and it's okay to make a cotton undershirt!
Uh, embarrassed, I just said that I didn't take advantage of it, and asked him to buy me clothes on the grounds of living with him today, and I didn't have a change of clothes for this body, and there was nothing else!
While it was still early, he also hurried to the county, and I will do something big when he leaves!
