Uncle Chang immediately understood the meaning of Jiang Mian, and his heart that was hung high also fell, "This is built by my grandfather's generation, and it has been hundreds of years." ”

Jiang Mian nodded, "Then let's sit down and talk?" ”

Wealthy families in the village will build green brick houses because they are strong. Jiang Mian naturally felt that the masonry house was the best.

But Jiang Mian glanced at Uncle Chang's house and felt that this brick and wood house had a simple and elegant beauty. In fact, building a brick and wood yard is not bad.

"Good! Wife, let's go make a pot of tea again. ”

Jiang Mian hurriedly stopped, "I haven't slept well lately, just give me a cool white boil." ”

Uncle Chang nodded.

Aunt Chang also understood that the two of them were going to talk about building a house. She was both sorrowful and joyful.

The sad thing is that the son is afraid that he will come to make trouble again when he finds out, and the happy thing is that the old man is finally willing to build a house again.

Aunt Chang's eyes were slightly hot.

The old man of her family pondered this little thing about the house when he was young.

At the beginning, he was very stunned.

Over the years, no one came to him to build a house. The apprentice who had been working with him was gone.

She doesn't blame them, it's all for a living, there's no way.

After the restriction passed, a few people came to invite him, but the price was a lot less than before, and they were all saying that the old man's craftsmanship was not worth the previous price.

The old man was so angry that he threw the people out.

Now, it's finally time to rebuild the house.

She dismantled the pastries that Chang Wu bought for her, put them on a small plate, and then went to the next door to borrow sugar and make a bowl of sugar water for Jiang Mian.

Jiang Mian talked with Uncle Chang for a morning, and the general things have been explained, just the details, and the details will be slowly picked out after the drawings come out.

The more Jiang Mian chatted with Uncle Chang, the more he felt that his previous thoughts were narrow-minded.

This brick and wood house is no worse than the masonry one.

The brick and wood structure of the house is also durable, mothproof, moisture-proof, and fireproof, Uncle Chang said that there is already a way to deal with it.

Moreover, compared with the masonry structure, the brick and wood structure is more beautiful.

"Jiang Niangzi, if you want to complete it within three months, I don't have enough manpower."

Uncle Chang can now determine that there are only about a dozen people, all of whom are carpenters.

For the rest, he wasn't sure if he could call over.

I heard that they were working with Wang Yongwang.

"You look for people first, how many can you find, there are seven or eight people on my side, but they don't know how to build a house, and I need you to teach them when the time comes."

The seven or eight people Jiang Mian said were Gu Yanning's younger brothers. Anyway, if you're idle, you'll be idle, so I'll help build a house.

Uncle Chang nodded, "Okay." In terms of wages? ”

Jiang Mian smiled and said, "I'll give you a hundred taels, you can arrange it." ”

"A hundred taels is too much, you don't need it."

"Yes, this 100 taels is not only the salary, but also the material money. In addition to the wood, I can solve it, and I still need your help Uncle Chang. ”

Uncle Chang calculated the account, and one hundred taels was still too much.

"For the extra part, Uncle Chang, how about you help make a few sets of furniture?"

Of course, Uncle Chang said yes.

"It's getting late, and it's time for me to go back. I'll look at the drawings in two days? ”

"Okay. Jiang Niangzi, stay for lunch, right? Aunt Chang saw that Jiang Mian was about to leave, so she hurriedly spoke up.

Jiang Mian waved his hand, "No, the children at home are waiting for me to go back to eat." ”

When Aunt Chang heard this, she couldn't stop her.

"Uncle Chang, can you sell me a few ornaments in your yard?"

Uncle Chang raised his head from the sketch, "Say what you don't sell, take whichever you like, it's all worthless things." ”

"Okay, then you're welcome." Jiang Mian no longer shirks.

Jiang Mian picked five ornaments.

What is given to Dabao is a majestic tiger, Dabao belongs to the tiger, suitable for him. The Four Treasures belong to horses, so the Four Treasures are one horse.

The second treasure and the third treasure belong to the dragon, because the dragon-shaped object is exclusive to the emperor, Uncle Chang did not carve a dragon, so Jiang Mian brought a monkey to the second treasure and a cat to the third treasure.

Erbao is the most skinny, except for the monkey, there is no animal suitable for him.

The ornaments carved by Uncle Chang are very fine.

Take the kitten in her hand as an example, proudly following her back hair, cute and cute, looking like the three treasures, so she decided to take this back to the three treasures.

And Yu Changhuan, Jiang Mian did not hesitate to choose a dog for him. It is not only in line with his dog temper, but also in line with his dog's temperament, which is very suitable.

"Mrs. Jiang, you brought it back to the child, right?" Aunt Chang asked.

"Aunt Chang, you can see it accurately, just bring it back to my children, they are young and love to play."

Aunt Chang nodded, "How many more do you bring?" ”

"No, just bring one, too many for fear of spoiling them."

"In the past, my Wuzi also liked these gadgets......"

Aunt Chang said that her tone was a little lonely, but she quickly adjusted and said with a smile:

"These are all carved by the old man for the hall and the big girl, children, they all like these things."

"Every time I go to Wu Zi's house, they ask me for these things."

"Every time the old man sees me go out with something, he scolds me for being a cheap white-eyed wolf, but secretly he will still secretly carve a few more things that the children like."

Tangzi and Da Niu are the grandchildren of Uncle Chang and Aunt Chang, and I heard Aunt Chang say that the two children are very skinny, but they are also very filial, and they often come to see them.

"How nice is this ornament? Why don't you sell it for money? "Then you don't have to do the laundry.

Aunt Chang sighed faintly.

"The old man has an arrogant temperament, he can't stand others saying that his things are not good, and he hasn't gone out again since he went out to set up a stall."

Jiang Mian nodded in understanding.

"By the way, I'm going to open a shop in the autumn, and I don't know if Uncle Chang has time to carve some gadgets, and I'll prepare the drawings."

When Uncle Chang in the house heard this, he said, "Yes, if it goes well, your house will be done before winter, and you will have the time to do this." ”

"Okay, that's settled."

Jiang Mian's back gradually disappeared in the green alley.

Uncle Chang said to Aunt Chang: "Old woman, you haven't eaten fried chestnuts for a long time, I'll buy some and come back to satisfy my hunger." ”

Aunt Chang is funny, where is her greed? But she didn't poke him either, "Okay, speaking of the girl, I haven't eaten chestnuts since I was born, so buy a pound this time and eat enough." ”

The eldest girl is now three years old, and the old man also said that day that she was hungry for fried chestnuts.

"One pound is enough, two pounds."

*

When Jiang Mian stepped into the Manfu Building, Sibao saw it for the first time.

He crawled down from Gu Yanning's arms, and ran over to hug Jiang Mian's thighs.

"Mother, you're back."

Jiang Mian was a little surprised by Sibao's enthusiasm, he was the most shy one in the past. But this does not prevent Jiang Mian from loving the four treasures.

Jiang Mian picked up Sibao, the little guy had been eating recently, Jiang Mian pinched the soft meat on his stomach, very satisfied.

This is the cub she raised with ginger cotton.

Dabao looked at Sibao helplessly.

Before going out, my mother said that she wanted them to accompany their father more. So they agreed that each person would be held by his father for a quarter of an hour and take turns.

At first, several people were very happy.

Gu Yanning's body was cold, and holding him was like holding a stone that would not be hot, and it was very comfortable.

Until Gu Yanning's body became colder and colder......

When Gu Yanning saw Jiang Mian coming back, he hurriedly restored his body to its original temperature.

Well, that's still his newly awakened ability.

If you don't have any other use, it's suitable for playing with human cubs.

Well, it's finally his turn to bully human cubs.

It's just that this pride didn't last long, and it was extinguished by the wood carving taken out by Jiang Mian.

Gu Yanning saw that each human cub was holding a wood carving in his hand, but he didn't ......

He looked at Jiang Mian aggrievedly.

Jiang Mian covered the wooden dog in the cloth bag, wondering whether to give this wood carving to Gu Yanning.
