The house and work were all done, and the group got up to say goodbye.
I didn't want to just walk from the house to the outside of the courtyard and meet an old woman.
This person is not dressed in a new way, but if you look closely, it is a fine silk cloth, and there are two servants, an old man and a young man, with a pair of hanging eyes, and her chin is raised high, and she only looks at people with her nostrils.
Xu Dazheng wondered who this short old woman was, so he heard Xu's meek whisper: "Second lady." ”
Second lady?
Xu Da raised his eyebrows, it turned out to be Gongsun Yan's wife.
I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that these old women have survived the average life expectancy.
Xu Dayou and Wang Dayou also followed and saluted.
It's just that this second lady is very arrogant and doesn't care about them at all.
She looked Xu Da and Wang Dayou up and down with her wrinkled hanging eyes, squirted out a "hum" word from her nose, pulled out a contemptuous smile at the corner of her mouth, and raised her head and walked in front of everyone.
Xu Da: Lao Tzu's fist is hard!
When he returned to Gongsun Yu's house, Xu Da immediately told his wife and children that if he met the wife and son of Gongsun Yan's family in the future, he must go around.
He was afraid that they would not be angry and would start beating her, which would cause unnecessary trouble.
Xu Yue everyone: "......"
In the evening, the Xu family prepared a table of good dishes to congratulate the Xu family on their housewarming, and when the family was ready to move the next day, they also gave them a set of farm tools.
Although you can't buy a field, you can use the land in front of your house to grow vegetables.
"Xu Da, after packing up, remember to report to the second master earlier, it's a job after all, let's do it first, and the days will get better slowly, this family is pointing at you, you can't be lazy."
Xu looked at the big family behind Xu Da and said with some concern.
Xu Da thought to himself, this big family can live well with me or not, but he still nodded obediently on his face to show that he knew.
It was the ox cart driver Wangcai who helped pull the luggage before, who helped pull the luggage of the two families away.
The three brothers and sisters of Xu Yue, who had been looking forward to it for many days, carried a hoe and followed Daddy and Auntie's ass to their new home.
"Wow, the house is so big!"
Wang Youliang, who already had a little more meat on his body and his hair had grown a little longer, looked up at the spacious compound in front of him and exclaimed.
Xu Da took out the key to the house and handed it to Wang.
Wang opened the lock on the courtyard door, and Xu Yue couldn't wait to push the door open.
"Whoa!" A puff of smoke and dust came to her face, and the unprepared Xu Yue took a sharp breath, and immediately turned around and coughed.
Xu Dalang stepped forward distressed and helpless, took his sister aside, put the hoe by the door, rolled up his sleeves and started drying!
Xu Erniang followed, patted Xu Yue, who was still coughing, and instructed Wang Youliang to fetch water to sprinkle ashes.
Xu Yue finished coughing, rolled up her sleeves, and entered the dusty room.
It's just a repetition of the operation in the slums of Hejian County, and the three brothers and sisters have already done it very skillfully.
Although it was a bit difficult to operate with a Wang Youliang behind him, he was soon fooled by Xu Yue to sweep the yard.
Immediately, Xu Erniang took out her small wooden stick and cast a cleansing magic to eliminate all the dust in the house.
There were three brothers and sisters who were there to clean the house, and Xu Da and Wang were responsible for the roof repair.
The couple went to the village to ask for help, and the tenants lived in dependence on the landlords, unlike ordinary free villagers.
They do not have an official household registration issued by the state, but are incorporated into the household registration of the Gongsun family, which is equivalent to the homeless or fugitive people who have been taken in by the Gongsun family.
The Gongsun family rented the land to these people and collected a high annual tax.
In addition to the tenants, there is another kind of existence in this Wubao, called the tribe.
The wealthy families left behind those who were strong and strong among the displaced people and transformed them into private armed forces, with a certain combat effectiveness to resist foreign enemies.
Some families have cultivated troops that are even the same as the army, and they are still strong soldiers.
The power of these great families grew stronger and stronger, and they gradually ceased to be bound by the imperial power.
In the Wubao of the Gongsun family, there are about 200 people in the Qubu belonging to the Gongsun family, who are usually responsible for the security of the Wubao.
Due to their different identities, the tenants in the village were very polite to Wang and Xu Da, and some even wanted to tie up the two of them, and were unconditionally ready to come over to help.
Wang wanted to refuse, but Xu Da did not refuse.
He said: "No need for nothing, we will live together in the future, let's just be nice to them." ”
Wang looked at the pair of flattering and humble eyes, said nothing, carried a bow and arrows on his back, and took a firewood knife, and went alone to the hillside behind the village.
Since there are people to do the work, then she makes time to do something of her own.
The new home had just been completed, and there were many places to use money, so she first went to the nearby hillside to familiarize herself with the conditions, so as to prepare for hunting at any time in the future.
At the same time, it was time to update the arsenal, the bow and arrow in her hand was still a little short, and she was ready to try to make some more elaborate weapons, such as the crossbow in ancient weapons.
The Wang family went up the mountain, and Xu Da could only lead people to find thatch to build the roof with bitterness.
When Xu heard the news, he directly asked the housekeeper to send Xu Da the thatch that he had collected from Zhuangzi last year.
As for the money, you don't have to give a cent, just say thank you to your aunt and grandmother.
Xu Yue and her brothers and sisters all expressed their admiration when they saw Daddy's kind appearance in the house.
This cheeky skill, you can't learn it in hundreds of years.
There were many helpers and the weather was good, but in the middle of the afternoon, the thatch needed to repair the roof was paved.
I was pasting a layer of solid mud on the thatch, and the sun was basking for a few days, but the wind could not fall.
However, compared with the blue brick house, such a house must be carefully maintained, and some of the poor ones must be replaced once every six months.
If it's a little better, change the thatched roof once a year or so.
After the roof was covered, Xu Dayou and Wang Dayou took the burden to dig yellow mud and make adobe bricks to build a kang for their home.
I am used to sleeping on the kang, and it is uncomfortable to ask them to sleep on the bed again.
And this is just the beginning of spring, the night is cold, or the fire kang is warmer to sleep.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Xu Yue took out the belongings in the research room little by little, and filled this new home little by little.
Wang Youliang is not stupid, he noticed the changes in his family, but because he didn't read much, he only felt confused, and he was fooled by Xu Erniang later, and he couldn't remember it anymore.
Wang cut a lot of wood from the mountain, and didn't do any other work, and took a bunch of tools to ponder her wooden fellows.
The terrain of Yuyang County is flat, the north is the foothills, the south is the plain, and the Wangshan is running dead horses.
There is a large flock of sheep in the castle, and from the foot of the hill, there are small white spots on the slopes.
These sheep, except for the part that the main family wants to keep as jackets and food, all the rest are sold, and there is also a very considerable income.
But the tenants who live in the village say that the sheep in Yuyang are nothing, and further north, the sheep raised by the Wuhuan people are fat and big, and the meat is fat, which is especially loved by the nobles of the family.
