Mrs. Cui nodded, and when she saw that everyone in the village was there, she said, "Uncle Village, I caused trouble to the village because of me before." Hu Laosan and his daughter-in-law were both sold to work as coolies in the southern harbor, and the Zhuangzi of the Jiao family next door also paid me.

"I plan to sell that village, but there is a lot of grain and farm tools stored in the village, and I can't use it, so I will bring it all to the village, which can be regarded as my apology to everyone!"

"Mrs. Jiao is too polite, and we didn't lose anything, but it was just because Hu Laosan's white-eyed wolf scolded a few more words."

The village chief hurriedly excused himself, after all, Hu Laosan was exposed before he started to calculate, and they really didn't help much.

But Mrs. Cui made up her mind, "Uncle, these grains and things are for everyone, so you can agree to accept them." I'm going to live in the village in the future, don't apologize, I don't have the face to come again. ”

Seeing that she was sincere, the village chief thought about it and said, "That's okay, everyone will take it." Recently, there are many craftsmen who have been hired, and they provide one meal at noon every day, and the food is really not enough. ”

Everyone saw that the long carriage had tens of thousands of catties of grain, and they didn't have to worry about the lack of food throughout the spring and summer.

So, both young and old, they were all happy and thanked each other.

"Thank you, Mrs. Cui, these grains are really helpful."

"Yes, Mrs. Cui, we are a family, don't say anything to cause trouble in the future."

"In this way, Hu Laosan came to make trouble, but he still did a great thing. If he hadn't come to make trouble, we wouldn't have gotten so much food. ”

"Haha, it makes sense, if anyone doesn't like us, come a few more, and our village will be rich."

Everyone was joking, and it was very lively for a while.

Mrs. Cui patted the good news in her arms and said to Mrs. Li's family.

"Auntie, this time let Fu Niu, as well as the Qiusheng brothers and Hongying all be wronged. I know that you will not receive the bread of the money. Fortunately, there is a full set of good wood in the Jiaojia Zhuangzi, and I asked people to put it away. When our family moves to a new house, I will have someone send it again, which is my apology and a congratulatory gift, okay? ”

She thought about it thoroughly, and she didn't spend money on it, but she still picked up the Jiao family's wool.

Sure enough, Mrs. Li responded in one bite, "Okay, this thing is properly used, and my aunt has accepted it." ”

Mrs. Cui was relieved and beckoned everyone to unload the car.

I have to say that Jiao's life is still good, and there is more grain in the Zhuangzi than in the Zhuangzi in charge of the Hou Mansion.

Coarse grains such as sorghum and millet are more than 8,000 catties. 1,000 catties of japonica rice, 3,000 catties of shelled rice, and about 600 catties of fine noodles. There are also more than a dozen bags of other beans of various colors, and there are countless cabbage and radishes.

Like ants, the villagers moved for a full hour before they were done.

The village chief was afraid of the rain, so he shouted at the villagers to urgently build a big shack to temporarily serve as a warehouse.

Each family offered linoleum and covered it tightly over the shack, for fear that the rain would leak and spoil the grain.

It's been half the afternoon.

But everyone looked at the shack, and their hearts were extraordinarily steady.

Food is life, especially for them who have no foundation, this temporary granary is like the first root they have planted, and finally everyone has some confidence.

The village chief waved his cigarette pouch and pot, and told the women a few words, and the dinner was extraordinarily rich.

Japonica rice and millet were mixed together to cook two rice, and cabbage and tofu stewed with pork belly made everyone happily giggle while eating in a clay bowl.

Jiayin ate the egg custard bibimbap, couldn't help but be greedy, and opened the dim sum box brought by Mrs. Cui and took a piece of walnut crisp.

She was afraid that her grandmother would nag, so she gathered next to Mrs. Cui, gnawing as seriously as a little mouse, and knew how to use her little hands to catch the scum.

Mrs. Li saw it, and doted on her granddaughter's head in the air.

Mrs. Cui smiled and hugged Jiayin in her arms, and put a handkerchief on her legs, allowing her to eat as she pleased.

The village chief and Uncle Zhao and Liu Dart had eaten, and they also came to Li's side and talked around the fire.

They also knew about the tragedy of the Guo family, and Mrs. Cui told the Guo family that they might buy the Zhuangzi next door.

At the end, she sighed and said, "When the time comes, I'm afraid I'll have to talk to Guo Shanchang about the original matter." After all, neither Senior Brother Wen nor I saw it with our own eyes, so I can't say that I have to bother Brother Qiusheng and Liu Darttou to go on a trip and make personal witnesses. ”

Li Laosi and Liu Darttou hurriedly responded, "This is as it should be, the Guo family was buried with our help." Always tell them where their bones are buried, and those books, and get them back when they have the chance. ”

The village chief and Uncle Zhao are a few years old, and they are also sympathetic to the equally old Guo Shanchang, the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, or lost all his children and grandchildren at once.

"I must persuade the Guo family to mourn, this world is like this, always think more about the living."

"Yes," Mrs. Li also nodded, and instructed the fourth child and Liu Darttou, "When the time comes, you should be tactful, don't say too many details, the old man will be even more sad when he hears it." It would be better if I only knew that I had been killed and that my bones were buried properly. ”

The village chief, Uncle Zhao and the others were also thinking about this, so they said, "The eldest sister is right, when the time comes, the fourth child and Liu Darttou will see the opportunity to act." ”

Li Laosi and Liu Darttou hurriedly responded, talked to Mrs. Cui, and came over to deliver a letter in advance when the time came.

Once the matter was settled, everyone put it to the back of their minds for the time being.

Construction in and around the valley is at its busiest these days.

In the village, the foundations of each family have been half laid, and it is not surprising that in another month, they will be ready to move in.

Originally, I wanted to build an independent yard for each family, but at most, the difference between building three main houses and building a wing room when there were more people.

But the more than 1,000 taels that I had collected before were a little stretched.

The villagers discussed it and decided to build four rows of ridged houses, that is, each family shared the east and west houses. Similarly, the people who want to build the wing house are also the east and west wing rooms back to back, and then save a wall.

In this way, the advantage is that the cost is greatly reduced, and the disadvantage is that the individual and the family are too compact.

But in this extraordinary period, it is good to be able to settle down and take root, and it is not good to pay attention to perfection in everything.

However, there are exceptions, the houses of Ye Gongzi and Mrs. Cui, together with the Li family, these three houses are self-contained, and they are located at the entrance of the village.

Mainly in the courtyard of the Li family, there are three main rooms, plus east and west wings, which are very spacious and generous.

The courtyards of the Cui family and the Ye family are slightly smaller, and they also have the main house and the east and west wings.

From a distance, the courtyards of the three families are like swallow wings, vaguely guarding the entrance of the village, and also protecting the families in the village behind them.

Mrs. Cui and Ye Gongzi's courtyard fell, and the family took the silver themselves, and the family was the protector of the whole village.

But the Li family consciously took advantage of the village, and the old lady always wanted to compensate for it.

But most of the money saved by the family before was taken to build the valley, and there was not much left. I still have to keep some for an emergency, plus I plan to let Jiaren continue to study, in short, I really can't take out too much silver.

So, Fu Niu, the precious granddaughter, played a quilt nest magic trick with her grandmother after a long time, and conjured ten silver bills of five taels.

This was previously obtained from Ye Gongzi's hands, a pill and a silver ingot. She's been hiding for a long time, but now it's coming in handy.

Mrs. Li hugged her granddaughter, didn't know where the silver came from, and became more and more worried that her granddaughter was young and didn't know the severity, so she lost her longevity.

But when she asked her granddaughter to take it back, her granddaughter refused, and she really didn't close her eyes all night.
