Chapter 225: Xiao Dalang Visits Relatives Again
On a December day, every household began to burn the kang.
After the farmer was slack, Tang Zangyue was ready to expand the yard and then renovate it.
The bamboo pipes in the bathroom have been changed several times, and the pigsty has also been raised with two pigs, giving birth to piglets, which seem a little smaller. In addition to doubling the number of chickens and ducks, there are also a few pregnant female rabbits.
Tang Zangyue wanted to expand the yard, the earthen wall must have been chiseled, the bedroom was expanded, the ground was also paved with bricks, and the walls were replaced with blue bricks and tiles. The adobe wall has a disadvantage, it is easy to fall off the lumps, and walk around in this dusty room all day long, even if the Xiao family looks good, if they don't bathe every day, they will also be dusty.
So I asked the shopkeeper of Chu for connections, and pulled a lot of bricks back to Jiuli Village.
She wanted to complete it as soon as possible, in addition to the long-term work in the family, Tang Zangyue also invited many people in the village to help, and the salary was settled according to the monthly salary of the long-term worker. Because the Xiao family was renovating during this period, it was somewhat inconvenient to live in the shopkeeper Chu's house next door.
Xue Yingxue went back to the town and waited for the renovation to be completed.
The vegetables and medicine in the front yard are particularly important, and Xiao Jinghuan comes to see them every day, for fear that these careless croppers who come to renovate will waste their efforts.
By the time the renovation was completed, it was seven days later.
When I live in the house again, the ground is not a dirt surface, and the wall is not an earth wall. Not only the front and back yards, but also the main house, bedroom, and kitchen are more than twice as large. In the future, you don't have to worry about the kitchen being overstaffed and crowded.
Sister Ling and Xiao Zhonghao, the two little guys, stretched out their arms, pretending to be eagles soaring in the sky, flying from one house to another, and having a lot of fun.
In the end, after bathing in the kang at night, the Xiao family felt the benefits of the spaciousness of the kang, and finally there was no need for people to go to people. It's fine in winter, but the kang is too hot in the middle of the night, and it's still easy to sweat, so someone has to get up at night to step on the charcoal fire.
Summer is pure torture.
Spread a few layers of thick cotton on the kang, and spread the new bamboo mat bought, it was cool to fall asleep at first, but it was always able to toss up the night for a few days, looking at the "water man" mark that slept on the bamboo mat, and quite helpless. Every time the ice water in the men's and women's bedrooms is changed to cool down, only Tang Zangyue is the only one who cools down.
However, the space is larger, and more ice water must be prepared in winter, otherwise it will not be enough to cool down indoors in summer.
This summer, most of the ice drinks and ice cubes were used, and after the yard was expanded, the cellar was dug deep and large, which made it more convenient for her to direct people to make ice drinks. It just so happens that the used containers in the summer are recycled, and there is no need to spend money to go to the gold carpenter to make them.
The work of making ice drinks fell on Qian Aniu and Xiao Jinghuan.
Xiao Jinghuan was enjoying it, but he was also worried that he would have no work to do in winter with other villagers. With no work at hand, he always has an unsteady life, and he is easy to think about everything, but what is the use of thinking about it? At the beginning, he insisted on marrying a scourge and came back to harm the whole family, and raised a white-eyed wolf, sorry for his own son, and now it is normal to be ignored by his closest family, it is good to be well fed and clothed.
Besides, he used to be sleepy and weak, and the doctors said that he needed to replenish his kidneys, but after coming to this Jiuli Village, he was much better when he was busy, and he was not sleepy, and he lived a very fulfilling life.
If he wasn't the only one among the sons of the Xiao family, with his mother's temperament, he would have already taken the knife and destroyed his scourge, how could he still keep it until now?
Even if he could sleep on the kang, he consciously went into a corner and curled up in a ball to reduce his sense of existence, lest his nephews dislike it.
Ay.
Iniquity.
December, Xiao Ling'er's birthday.
In addition to the mutton clear soup hot pot, Tang Zangyue also made a slightly spicy Sichuan-style hot pot.
After the first batch of chili peppers were harvested, in addition to stir-frying, Tang Zangyue also made her own butter hot pot ingredients.
The fried butter hot pot was poured into the square iron plate, which was specially made by the blacksmith, and the blacksmith and the gold carpenter in the town had become accustomed to Tang Zangyue taking some strange drawings to ask them to customize things, and at first they didn't know the use, until the gold carpenter found that the size and shape of the popsicles sold by Liu's restaurant were similar to the molds he had made for Dr. Tang last winter......
Even if the blacksmith and the gold carpenter saw the purpose, they didn't say anything anywhere, and if anyone came to ask, they also consulted Tang Zangyue's consent to create the same thing. Both families are sensible and know who is a long-term guest and will not offend anyone.
After the butter hot pot solidified in the square iron plate, Tang Zangyue cut it with a knife and then put it into the space. These butter hot pots are waiting for winter to come!
Winter is obviously cold to the bone, but with the restlessness of Sichuan-style hot pot and mutton hot pot, the Xiao family and the children who came to celebrate Sister Ling's birthday were hot, sweaty and sweaty, and took off their coats and put them on the chairs.
Also lively is the Bai family's side.
After more than a month of persuasion by Bai Xiang, Bai Yinyin still couldn't accept a strange uncle to replace her father, and it happened to be Sister Ling's birthday, so she came to celebrate. After everyone was almost gone, he twisted and made a request to Sister Ling'er.
Leave outsiders for the night, Sister Ling can call the shots and also have to be at home.
Tang Zangyue was boiling fragrant fruit tea at this time, wanting to suppress the heavy oily taste in her mouth, knowing that Bai Yinyin was awkward about something, so she agreed to stay overnight without asking too much.
The Bai family's side.
Xiao Dalang rubbed his hands, a little stunned.
There is no way, the military camp is now disbanded, and the Qinglou has to spend money, in addition to the military salary, the monthly money given by the old lady has no legitimate reason to take it out, so naturally there is no practical operation for him to choose.
Fortunately, there is also the old lady's booklet!
It turns out that it can be like this and that.
Yes! You can also make purple!
Oh! And this......
I see.
He's researched thoroughly.
Xiao Dalang's brain is really simple, so in the dark, the two of them were nervous and forbearing, and the white lady hurt.
He immediately flinched, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I'm going to quit......"
"What a retreat! Hurry up! Advance! ”
She thought that this tone was very fierce, but in Xiao Dalang's ears, it was soft, delicate, and had no deterrent effect, but it made his tailbone numb, unable to control his body, and ...... violently
It's quite lively at night.
With a one-night relationship, the two instantly went from strangers to vaguely awkward intimacy.
Don't look at the Bai family's teaching of the White Lady to be avant-garde, but she has only experienced one deceased husband. Even though the deceased husband was kind to her, now, after the second one, she also realized that there was a difference in the man's thing.
Anyway, every time her deceased husband finished, her stomach never bulged, and her deceased husband fell asleep, never considerate. On the contrary, it was the husband who was recognized by pinching his nose, who picked her up at that time and scared her a lot.
"Y-What are you doing?" Her face turned pale with horror, and her slender arms subconsciously circled the back of his neck, but when she thought that she was not wearing an inch on her body, her two arms covered one on top and one on the bottom.
It's quite a posture of covering your ears and stealing the bell.
