Chen Jixing and Zhu Siya glanced at each other, and then looked at the tablecloth on the table.

"This ...... Let's think about it again. ”

Chen Xingling nodded.

As the saying goes, starting a family and starting a business shows that entrepreneurship and starting a family are as important in life. Entrepreneurship is one of the major events in life, and it must be done with caution.

Moreover, the fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law are considered to be the second time to start a business, and there is no market economy in China at the moment, and it is even more difficult to start a private business.

After lunch, Chen Jixing and Zhu Siya went to inquire about the land, saying that they would return to Huiqiao Village in the evening.

Chen Xingling invited them to live in Sanyuan, but they politely refused, saying that the road was smooth, the motorcycle was very fast, and they could get home in ten or twenty minutes.

Chen Xingling was not reluctant to say goodbye to them.

When she returned to the construction site, she immediately discussed the matter with Ma Dali.

Ma Dali readily agreed, and said, "Your own brother, you should charge a cheaper price." We have to have work at hand, and the workers and masters will come to us. If the work stops for too long, people won't come this way. ”

Chen Xingling jokingly asked: "Maybe you don't have to make money, but you can do it?" ”

"Done." Ma Dali said briskly.

Chen Xingling laughed.

At this time, Ma Yueyue's voice came from outside: "Big brother! Eldest brother! ”

Ma Dali put a pencil to his ear and shouted, "Here! I'm here! ”

Ma March quickly walked around to the back of the office, and when he saw that Chen Xingling was also there, he hurriedly said hello.

Seeing her in a hurry, Chen Xingling asked with a smile, "Just got out of school, right?" Something to find your big brother? ”

Ma March nodded hurriedly: "That-big brother, second brother is back!" ”

Ma Dali raised his eyes in surprise when he heard this, and then smiled.

"He's back? When will it arrive? Why didn't you write a letter and send a telegram? It's almost the end of the year, and it's time to go home for the New Year! ”

"Big brother ......" Ma March suddenly became nervous and squeezed his hands nervously, "Second brother, he ...... He ......"

Ma Dali looked at his sister suspiciously and asked, "Why do you talk so much?" What happened to Erli? ”

Ma March shook his head in embarrassment, and said, "Big brother, or—or you go home and see it by yourself." I...... I don't know what to tell you. ”

"What's wrong?" Ma Dali put down the tool knife in his hand and frowned, "How old are you?" Can't even say a word? ”

Ma Yue blushed and whispered: "Second brother, he ...... He didn't come back alone. He also brought a woman and a small child, a little girl who was more than a year old. ”

"What?!" Ma Dali was stunned for a moment.

Chen Xingling on the side was very curious, and couldn't help asking: "Did your brother marry a daughter-in-law by the way when he went to the countryside?" ”

The elders of the older generation like to sort their children according to their age when naming them, not only in Chen Xingling's family, but also in Ma Dali's family.

Originally, he was called "Da Li", and his younger brother was called "Erli", but later his younger brother changed the homophone to "Erli". And the names of Ma March and Ma Sifang were taken by the eldest brother who was several years older.

I heard that when he was very young, he liked to quietly go to the window of the school to listen to the teacher's lectures, and he taught himself a lot of words. The parents were going to give their sisters "three rites" and "four rites", but they were stopped by Ma Dali and replaced with their current names.

Ma March shook his head: "I don't know...... He never said it to the second brother. ”

Chen Xingling pushed Ma Dali, who was still stunned, and proposed, "You better go home and have a look." ”

“…… Oh! Ma Dali hurriedly got up, patted off the sawdust on his body in a panic, and asked, "Which woman is who?" Is it your second brother's classmate? ”

Ma March shook his head: "I don't know." She kept her head down and held a female doll in her arms...... She didn't speak, and I didn't want to ask. Second brother, he didn't introduce who she was, he just asked me to come and find you back. ”

"Let's go! Go home now! Ma Dali didn't care about anything else, and ran quickly to the door.

Ma March hurriedly followed behind and left.

Chen Xingling swept the sawdust off the ground.

Zhao Xiaoxing ran over with a smile and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll just sweep it!" ”

"Don't worry." Chen Xingling asked, "The rooms on the second floor are almost cleaned, right?" ”

Zhao Xiaoxing is mainly responsible for lunch and hot water, sanitation work inside and outside the processing field, cleaning up some usable leftovers, etc.

A few days ago, the second floor was completely completed, and only cleaning remained.

"It's all done in the morning." Zhao Xiaoxing explained: "I cleaned the two stairs in the afternoon and shoveled a lot of mud bumps and dirty things. Go back and scrub a few more times, and now it's shiny! The thief is pretty! ”

Chen Xingling chuckled: "The best marble, can it not be beautiful?" ”

Zhao Xiaoxing smiled and said, "Earlier, Uncle Liao came and brought another old man. The two of them went upstairs to see it together, and they were very happy after reading it. By the way, sister-in-law, Uncle Liao said that he asked someone to give this garden a nice name. ”

"Oh?" Chen Xingling asked curiously, "What's the name?" ”

Uncle Liao thought of seven or eight names before and after, changed one after another, and changed himself for himself, and it was he who was dissatisfied every time.

I can't believe that he even asked someone to choose a name - it's really careful and exquisite!

Zhao Xiaoxing looked up at the sky, thought about it in a daze, thought about it again.

"Like...... I obviously remembered it, why did I forget it when I turned around! It seems to be called 'Takayama Garden'. ”

Chen Xingling thought for a moment, and then smiled.

"The garden is his, and he can take it as he likes."

Zhao Xiaoxing couldn't help but say: "With such a big garden, you have to get a good name." Sister-in-law, this is a garden, not a mountain, what kind of mountain is high. ”

"Hahaha!" Chen Xingling didn't care much, and said: "This is the garden for his old man's retirement, and it is also the property he wants to leave to future generations." He can take as much as he likes. It's just a name, it's nothing more than a name that someone else can call me. ”

Zhao Xiaoxing: "Oh oh" nodded after being taught.

……

In the evening, Chen Xingling studied in the study.

Gu Qi took his son to play chess under the lamp on the other side, and he could still play with the little guy while reading a book, but who knew that the little guy's chess skills have improved by leaps and bounds recently, even if he doesn't read books, most of the cases can only be a draw.

"Dad, let's change the game of Go, okay?" Little Tiger asked, shaking his head.

Gu Qi nodded: "One more game, you have to go to sleep." I still have a drawing that I haven't finished. ”

"It's only eight o'clock!" Xiaohuzi muttered: "Mom said, go to bed at nine o'clock and get up at half past six." ”

Gu Qi reminded: "The weather is cold, and it is difficult to get up in the morning. Later, I went to bed at half past eight in the winter, and returned to nine o'clock in the summer. ”

"What about spring and autumn?" Xiaohuzi asked with a grin.

Gu Qi rubbed the chess pieces in his hand and explained: "Spring and autumn in Yucheng are not very obvious, and most of the year is summer. ”

"Okay then." Xiaohuzi had a good deal and quickly agreed.

There was a knock on the door outside!

Gu Qi raised his eyebrows, got up and went out to open the door.

Xiaohuzi dropped the chess pieces and followed up.

The door opened—it was Martha!

Gu Qi asked suspiciously, "Why is it a little late?" I thought you weren't available tonight. ”

Ma Dali will come to the door at night when he is free, basically at six o'clock, and go back at seven o'clock or eight o'clock. Recently, the construction site has come to an end, and he has to prepare for the final exam, so he didn't come much.

"I ...... Discuss with Ling Ling if you have something. Ma Dali whispered.

Gu Qi intuitively felt that his eyes were evasive, as if there was something embarrassing.

"She's in the study. You go first, and I'll go to the kitchen and pour some water. ”

Ma Dali: "Hey! With a sigh, he led Xiaohuzi to the study quickly.

Gu Qi went into the kitchen and poured four glasses of water, and slowly took them to the study.

As soon as I stepped in, I heard my wife say in confusion: "Build a house?" The plot of land next to your house? Why do you suddenly want to build a house? ”

"I ...... I was going to build it for my brother. Ma Dali frowned and smiled bitterly: "I thought that in a few years, I would save enough money to build a few more good-looking and durable houses." Who knew that he suddenly ...... Come back, let me give him a house to come out of. There are only two earthen tile houses in the house, the sisters live in one, and the other room is piled with things, and they don't come out at all. I'd like to talk to you about whether I can make two rooms for them to live in. ”
