Chapter 166: It's time to say hello to us
After listening to Xu Jingluo's business book, several uncles stopped playing chess, and came over one after another.
"We still have so many ways to make money? Isn't weaving a hat and a hat clothes what we're good at? ”
"Yes, then we old men won't have to eat idle, and we can still work and earn money."
"Bamboo and palm trees are everywhere, and as long as you have a boat and a net to fish, we are good at it."
"Since you can make money, then build the road into the city!"
"Cut through, must be cut through, we have so many laborers, won't it be repaired in ten days and half a month?"
Several of the people sitting here are all members of the six major surnames in Zhuangshang, and they unanimously decided to build the road.
"Then it's settled." Feng Yongsheng made a decision, "Starting tomorrow, the men will open the way, and when the women are busy with the work in the field or on a rainy day, they will be able to weave hats and weave clothes." ”
"Okay." Several uncles happily agreed.
It didn't take long for all the three hundred taels of silver to be distributed, all of which were distributed to the heads of the clans, and then they were distributed by households.
And the remaining dozens of taels, Xu Jingluo told Xu Jingan to put them away and keep them for future business use.
After doing this, Xu Jingluo drank two sips of cool chrysanthemum tea, and then looked out of the courtyard.
"Uncle Feng, when are we going to build this courtyard wall?"
"This can be done slowly, first cut the road, and then talk about it after the business of fighting hats and clothes is started."
"That's right." Xu Jingluo pursed her lips with her chin, she inexplicably wanted to keep herself busy, and it was best to have a moment of leisure in her mind.
"It would be nice if you could find yellow mud in the ground, so that you can burn bricks, and the walls made of bricks are stronger." ”
"I haven't dug up the yellow mud yet." Feng Yongsheng shook his head and said, "I told everyone to pay attention to it, and if the yellow mud is dug up at that time, then let's talk about building the courtyard wall." ”
"Okay." Xu Jingluo nodded.
After drinking chrysanthemum tea for a while, watching the uncles play chess for a while, it was almost noon, Xu Jingluo's sister and brother said goodbye and left, Feng Yongsheng left them for dinner, and they politely refused.
Feng Yongsheng was not reluctant, the meals of every household in the village were almost the same, and there was no fresh food, so they went.
It was noon when I got home, and Mama Cao cooked a meal, ordinary pancakes, and a big bowl of bird egg seaweed soup.
Runtian and Yi Bao came back sweating.
"Let's go, wash your hands with my mother." Xu Jingluo led two children like little cats to the waterhole, and the little gray gray also followed behind, like a loyal little erha.
By the waterhole, Qian Yulan and several other women from the village came back from the field to make lunch, and were fetching water by the waterhole.
As soon as she saw Xu Jingluo, Qian Yulan put down the bucket and grabbed her with a concerned expression.
After glancing at Runtian and Yi Bao, he whispered in Xu Jingluo's ear: "You tell the truth to the eldest lady, did you drive Changgong away?" ”
"No~~" Xu Jingluo scratched his head, and said a little weakly, "He has a father and a mother in his family, and he has to go back to report his safety after coming out for so long, right?" ”
"Oh, yes." Qian Yulan nodded, then raised her eyes to look at Xu Jingluo, "Then did you tell him to let him and his parents mention you and your children?" Finalize this marriage? ”
"Having said that, he told me to wait for news from him." Xu Jingluo's brain was about to scratch his nails.
What is the saying? A lie has to be fulfilled with thousands of lies, which is really right, she is not good at lying, and she is about to show her feet in front of Qian Yulan.
"Then wait in peace, Changgong that kid, not like a liar."
Qian Yulan didn't doubt her, patted Xu Jingluo's shoulder, and went back to cook with water.
When I cleaned up the two babies and came back, I saw Zhang's Xu Jingling and Cuiying, covered in mud and entering the yard.
"Mother, Jingling Cuiying~" Xu Jingluo greeted him with a smile.
Everyone was dirty, and they all showed a smile of concern and longing between relatives.
"Daughter, you're back."
"Sister~~ I miss you so much."
"Girl, you must have suffered a lot if you got a tan."
"It's okay, it's okay, it's a big harvest after all." Saying that, Xu Jingluo didn't care if they were dirty or not, and stepped forward to look at their palms, "This~~ has worn out calluses, and has suffered a lot, right?" ”
"No, no, the work is done with the help of the people in the village." With a smile on his face, Zhang handed the hoe in his hand to Cui Ying to put it, and then took off his muddy shoes and walked barefoot onto the terrace.
"yes, I'm not tired, I'm still wearing sandbags!" Xu Jingluo grinned, and when he took off his shoes, he didn't forget to lift his pants and retreat, revealing the sandbags tied to his legs.
During this time, they have tanned, exercised strongly, and gained a healthy body after a little hardship, stronger than anything else.
"How did you get the hoe back? Don't have to go in the afternoon? Xu Jingluo looked at the three hoes leaning against the corner and wondered.
"All kinds of crops have been sown." Cui Ying answered happily, "You don't have to go in the afternoon, just wait for the harvest." ”
Since they didn't live in the afternoon, the three of Zhang's Xu Jingling and Cuiying took a shower and changed their clothes, and cleaned up before going to the table for dinner.
On the dinner table, there were two plates of candy and pastries, as well as sliced watermelon, red and sweet juice flowing onto the table, which was very attractive.
Runtian and Yi Bao both ate two slices, and secretly wanted to take them, but Xu Jingluo held Xiao Nen's hand.
"Runtian Yibao, it's not okay to eat so much watermelon, where can you eat later?"
I also saw that the Zhang family was thirsty when they came back from work, or it would be impossible to cut watermelons and eat them during dinner.
Speaking of which, every time she signs in the space mall, the most given is watermelon.
There are already thirty or forty of them, but it's not that they are reluctant to share them with the people in the village, it's really hard to explain to them.
The entire Ssangyong City has not grown watermelons yet, and suddenly sending a few such fresh and watery big watermelons to others, no matter how much I trust you, I am afraid that I have to put a question mark in my mind.
It's better to wait for the watermelons planted in the ground to grow, and then give them two of them one by one.
In addition to watermelons, there was also a plate of sweets and pastries on the table.
Meat, Xu Jingluo didn't dare to buy it, first, it was expensive, she didn't have so much balance to buy, and second, it was too fragrant, once it was cooked, the whole village could smell the smell of meat.
Again, it's hard to explain.
In fact, chickens, ducks, piglets, and piglets can be bought in the mall, but it is not good to show up, and when she enters the city, she has to find a way to get a pair of piglets to raise, so that she will not worry about eating meat.
Of course, there are also people in the village who keep wild boar cubs in captivity, but they grow too slowly, and there is not much meat, so it is still the most cost-effective to raise domestic pigs.
At the dinner table, Zhang's, Xu Jingling and Cui Ying, the three of them flanked left and right again, and asked about Gu Changgong's departure.
"He's not going to come back, is he?" Zhang's face was sad, she was really satisfied with this son-in-law, "Even if you go back to the Western Wei Kingdom, you should say hello to us, right?" ”
Xu Jingluo didn't know how to answer, and kept scratching his head, for this, she really couldn't blame Gu Changgong, she didn't allow that guy to send her back.
"No, I, Xu Jingling, dare to use the head guarantee on the item." Xu Jingling's face was determined, "His sincerity can be seen wherever he has eyes." ”
Cui Ying glanced at Xu Jingluo meaningfully and handed her a piece of watermelon.
"Girl, eat more watermelon, watermelon can extinguish the fire and calm the mind......"
Xu Jingluo changed her core in the end, so neither Zhang nor Xu Jingling knew her as well as Cuiying.
Cui Ying saw that Xu Jingluo seemed to be a little upset and uneasy.
However, will Xu Jingluo admit it? He sneered nonchalantly.
"My heart is very calm, and I don't need to extinguish the fire, you eat more."
Saying this, his hand brought the watermelon to his mouth without thinking and took a big bite.
"Wow~~Wow~"
Little Gray Gray pulled the stool with his little short paws, staring at the watermelon and drooling.
A cry of discontent came out of his mouth, as if in protest.
I'm also a member of this family, why don't I have a sweet watermelon?
Xu Jingluo seemed to see through its thoughts, picked up a piece and fed it to the little gray ash to eat, and the little gray ash chewed it with relish, and even gave it the skin.
Is this still a wolf? Xu Jingluo was stunned.
On a sunny day, the midday sun was so hot that even the seabirds hid in their nests and stopped chirping and quieted down.
