Chapter 62: Make an Offer
After discovering Lin Yining's specialty, Zhao Hong had forgotten about what Lin Qiao had done.
As for the marriage that Lin Qiao said, Zhao Lingxiu was really stupid, Zhao Hong didn't plan to pull it, she had already mentioned it, and she didn't have the energy to save a cheap girl who was blinded by wealth and nobility.
Seeing Lin Yining's shaking head and endorsement, Zhao Hong took the patterns and embroidery threads he had drawn and went to the next door to find Zhou Wang, and when he saw Zhou Wang's eyes shining, he knew that he was not looking for the wrong person.
"Cousin, the village chief has come to our house and brought back a lot of green bricks." Before Zhao Hong could finish explaining the details, he heard the shouts of the dog leftovers.
"Go back and see, our village is willing to build a house like this, and I have to follow to take charge of the food when I go back to provide food, and I can save some rations for my family when I am happy." Zhou Xinghua immediately put the needlework aside and went down to the kang quickly.
Zhao Hong was not in a hurry, but when he saw this, he had to say: "Okay, go back and build a shed in the yard, and then set up two cauldrons, and leave the cooking and cooking to you and your sister-in-law. ”
"It's not possible, there is no such rule. In our village, we build houses for food and cook, and they are all au pairs, and your wages are almost catching up with the strong labor that can only be earned, and our whole village has to blame you for the bad market. Zhou Xinghua hurriedly mentioned.
Hearing this, Zhao Hong frowned and said, "But I don't have time to change jobs, why don't I give five cents a day and then provide food?" ”
"It's also a lot. There is no rush in this matter, you can discuss it with Shen Shi and let her give her an idea. Zhou Xinghua didn't reply.
Looking at Zhou Xinghua, who was more anxious than herself, Zhao Hong smiled, this friend was not in vain, this is to let her have a good relationship with the Shen family, and there will be many people who will help in the future.
The two houses were separated by a fence gate, and when Zhao Hong went home, the village chief had not finished drinking a bowl of water.
Only the village chief's family has an ox cart in the village, so the other ox carts are hired from the brick kiln, and they have to pay ten yuan for a trip to feed, and twelve yuan for no forage, and Zhao Hong is naturally the latter.
"Look at it, these are not very good green bricks, I think about laying the foundation while fence off the yard for you, and save the time when the house is half-built."
"When the courtyard wall is built, then pull those good bricks and tiles, and the wood and everything else can be pulled in."
Zhao Fugui had a plan in his heart, and he didn't tell Zhao Hong in detail before, but now he can explain it.
"I don't understand these either, my cousin looks at the arrangement, so that our mothers can live in a new house before the winter. I don't know about hiring people, my cousin thinks the salary is appropriate? The family provides three meals a day, and when I am full, I have the strength to work, and I have to help my sister-in-law and Zhou Xinghua help me Zhang Luo when I go back to cooking, I am afraid that I am not available. ”
Zhao Hong talked about it once, and he didn't have to worry about it later.
The village chief is very satisfied with Zhao Hong's attitude, and what he is most afraid of is that someone entrusts you to do things and still doesn't fully trust you, which is as disgusting as eating flies.
"The matter of laying the foundation and building the fence can be done by the strong laborers in our village, and there is a lot of work in your family and there is no man who can change jobs, so you can pay fifteen cents a day. Build a house and find the team in the town, and the price is negotiated with the other side, and a total of twelve taels of silver will be given, but we will have to get a few small brick workers here, and we will use the people in the village. ”
"There is a carpenter in our village, this work is contracted to him, he has a rough idea in the past few days, and then I will tell you about the salary and material money, if you want to add something, as long as it is not too big, it is not a matter."
Zhao Fugui handed over to Zhao Hong, and he arranged everything, just waiting for the official start of work.
Zhao Hong was very satisfied, so he said to Zhao Fugui: "Cousin looks at the decision, tomorrow, I will go to the town to buy some food and come back." When are we going to break ground? Do you have to buy it? ”
"The next is an auspicious day of the zodiac, fireworks and firecrackers, as well as candy, copper coins, red steamed buns and so on, so you have to buy a lot. Aren't you going to put your three babies in the family tree? The patriarch meant that on that day, the children would be entered into the family tree before the ground was moved, and all the things to worship should be purchased. Zhao Fugui smiled and looked at a few small ways that were counting bricks.
"......" Zhao Hong's brain hurt when she heard it, she was 'goddess', she really asked her to prepare things according to the ancient rules, and her hair had to be scratched, but the original owner didn't have that memory.
Seeing that Zhao Hong was stunned, Zhao Fugui glared at her angrily, and said: "Okay, after unloading the bricks, I will send the kid in the family to the town for a trip, and prepare all the things for you, let the Shen family steam the steamed buns for you, and she will make a good face." ”
"Then there will be more cousins." Zhao Hong responded unceremoniously, and handed over a money bag, and said with a smile: "It is a big deal for three children to enter the family tree, and my cousin only needs to buy more things, we have to let the ancestors know the importance of the babies, and also let my father and mother and the father and mother of the dog leftover be happy and happy underneath." ”
Zhao Hong said this because he wasn't sure how much to buy, anyway, it was right to buy more, and it would be embarrassing to give less silver.
This time it was Zhao Fugui's turn to be stunned, a bag of broken silver was just to worship the ancestors, and the big families were just like this, right?
However, Zhao Fugui is very happy, the more Zhao Hong attaches importance to his ancestors, the more he has the Zhao clan in his heart, which is a good thing.
"You, good fortune is yet to come." Zhao Fugui smiled and pointed at Zhao Hong, and then pointed at the small ones, and laughed several times, making the people in the courtyard laugh.
After unloading the bricks, Zhao Fugui took people away with his front feet not long ago, and before Zhao Hong and the others could clean the yard, the beautiful environment was broken by a sharp sound.
The person who came was Li Xiujuan, and there was also a fat woman, to be exact, a famous tooth woman in this area.
"It's these two little rabbit cubs, their mother is my own sister, and she has handed them all over to me, and now I'm going to sell them!"
"I don't care where I sell them, as long as the silver is high, you hurry up and give me the silver to take people away, I don't want to see these two broom stars again!"
Li Xiujuan ignored Zhao Hong and the others in the courtyard of the Zhao family, and pointed at the dragon and phoenix fetus and yelled when she entered the door.
That Ya Po is probably also doing gray business, and she didn't even ask Zhao Hong, so she looked at the dragon and phoenix fetus, and said critically: "Not bad, this looks like Zhou Zheng, who went to the south for a few years to train, and didn't worry about not being able to send it to a rich and noble family." ”
"Grandma, I'm afraid." Lin Yining put down her exclusive little broom, ran behind Zhao Hong, and grabbed the corner of her grandmother's clothes before she dared to show half of her head and look out.
The dog leftover subconsciously blocked in front of Lin Yiqing, and Zhou Xinghua Niang was also things, doing a defensive posture, as long as Zhao Hong said a word, he would definitely beat Li Xiujuan and Ya Po out.
"Don't be afraid, grandma is here." Zhao Hong turned around and touched the top of his granddaughter's head, turned around and glanced at Li Xiujuan coldly, and said to Zhou Xinghua: "Tie up this vicious woman who wants to abduct and sell my granddaughter, and send it to the patriarch!" My descendant of the Zhao family is also a person whose surname Li dares to sell? ”
"That's my nephew, I can sell it if I want to, if you dare to touch me, I'll go and sue the official!" Li Xiujuan shouted while running, staring at the dragon and phoenix fetus with vicious eyes, always looking for an opportunity to get closer.
"Kill you shamelessly, your own cub can't protect you, so you want others to be separated from your flesh and blood, why are you so vicious? People like you, if you are caught, you should be beheaded! Zhou Xinghua scolded and waved the broom, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but she hit the tooth woman several times.
Xu is too fond of the dragon and phoenix fetus, Ya Po actually dodged to Zhao Hong's side, and asked with a smile on her face: "Big sister, you can make a price, how much do you agree to sell this doll?" ”
