If it weren't for the Xu family preparing to eat, there would be many people in the family coming to wander around.

Even Yu Jiaba, the West Courtyard, came, squatting at the door and not knowing what he was listening to.

Are you asking how the Lei family is doing? Last year, did a lot of frozen fruits in Erdaohe get better, at least they can be poor and stable, right?

In addition, did Mrs. Xu and Tian Xin treat them as honored guests? What the hell are you doing there these days?

The one that everyone inquired about was called a detail, and it was mixed with careful thinking.

Everyone is mainly a little worried that the villagers of Leijiawo will get less wages when they are more capable, so in this comparison, the master will look down on the people of the village, and then transfer out a lot of work. Then they won't have any work to do, that's not good, we're our own family.

In short, the old lady was almost hungry and smoked, and it was not good to pull down her face, and in the end, Liu Laozhu's daughter-in-law Pepper saw that they even went home in the hospital, and they couldn't interject, so they organized everyone to say, hurry up, the children who went up the mountain are going down the mountain, hurry up and go home to cook, and then talk back.

A person like Guan Erbald, who is close, waved his hand to Xu Tianxin with a smile, and took the lead in walking outside the courtyard with his hands behind his back.

Xu Tianxin is not good at keeping Grandpa Guan to eat at home, the grandfathers and little sisters in the house have a good relationship with her, and Grandpa Guan has to keep others. I can only wave a small handful of dandelion flowers in my hand twice at Grandpa Guan.

Xu Jiajia entered the house after washing their hands, and their eyes fell on Xu Tianxin first, and their eyes smiled and asked, "How are you playing outside?" ”

Xu Tianxin said with a smile, he hadn't had enough fun at all, and looked at Xu Youyin who was sitting next to her: "Uncle, why are you getting old?" Black and thin. ”

"Hey, you kid."

Xu Youyin thought to himself, can he not be old? After the dung is finished, it is called the seven wastelands at home, and the wasteland is burned every day for a few days, and the clouds and mountains are covered with fog every day. Cough at night.

Finally, after the wasteland was finished, I had to go up the mountain to pick up big rocks and push the soil, pull sand, and prepare for digging the foundation. He is still good, the second brother and the third brother work harder, one has to take time to make stakes, and the other has to carry wood.

Let's put it this way, basically get up before dawn to work, the same after the same, waiting for their brothers and three nephews to pick up, thanks to picking up a few strong laborers, until it gets dark, today is to know that the mother and niece are back, this is the early part-time work.

In the morning, the milk will make a hot meal, and there is no food at noon, and the whole family even the pregnant second sister-in-law has to carry a few dry food to deal with a mouthful, until the water drop clock at home is pointed to the hour (after nine o'clock in the evening), and then you can drink some egg soup or fish soup to soak some sorghum rice, sometimes two rice.

It's not that my mother is reluctant to eat well when she is not at home, this time the second sister-in-law is not cooking and pinching the handle, but even the pregnant woman and the grandmother who is almost 70 years old are not light at the end of the day. After dark, I was tired and had no energy to cook.

At this time, Xu Youyin looked at his niece, and then deliberately looked at the old lady again, these two people were white and fat, and they were really worried that the old and the young would not eat and sleep well outside.

I was worried that I was choking enough, and the second sister-in-law dreamed that Tian Xin drove the car into the ditch, and the family felt a mistake in their hearts, and they almost went out to find it.

It's a little hard, Xu Youyin doesn't need to say it, Mrs. Xu and Xu Tianxin can also see it.

In particular, the house is full of wooden shelves on the ground to raise seedlings, and the shop is also full of sweet potato seedlings and mushroom seedlings, and the back garden and the new house next to it are turned over and ploughed.

I heard that Xu Zhaozhao and Da Yue swapped each other's backs to make glycerin during the day, and then got up early and stayed at night, and they didn't forget to work at home.

Today's meals at home are all made by the grandson Big Bird who brought it out, sauerkraut rice, cold fish skin, rabbit meat stewed potatoes, and baked oil cakes.

The rabbit was two days ago Meizhuang went up the mountain with a big belly, and it was sent to Xu's house after the set, and now the caravan is all gone, and this year has not come, Meizhuang can't be idle at home, I heard that every morning she pulls her man, and then takes a group of half-sized children in the village to take bows and arrows into the mountain. can catch the prey, the fur is left, and the meat is sacrificed to the heavy laborers who work in the village, and Meizhuang is impatient with others to thank her, so she throws it directly to the fourth uncle and the seventh uncle to distribute.

If you can't get it, you won't be empty-handed, and you will bring a group of half-sized people to push dry firewood and stones down the mountain. After a period of time, he practiced the archery skills of half of the children in the village a little.

When the Xu family was eating, everyone kept reporting some important periods to Mrs. Xu.

The old lady told her daughter-in-law: "Guan Er's bald man still has a lot of vegetable seedlings, and the people are helping to water and serve, but there is too much land in our house, and the seedlings can't be put down." and Xiaoqin's mother's family also helped raise seedlings, and Xiaoqin's younger brother made a special trip home and asked the other side to help. ”

At present, the old lady is becoming more and more satisfied with Qin Niang, first of all, she is happy, pregnancy is the hero, this is the truth, having a baby is the basis for her satisfaction with her granddaughter-in-law.

Secondly, it is also very important whether the mother's family borrows or not. You look at the shop opened last year, and she is very capable and powerful, otherwise she will be tired of several grandchildren. This time, Xiaoqin's mother's family was serving so many chickens, ducks and geese, and she should help raise rice seedlings, and Lao Yu's family also had to farm herself, which was very interesting.

After the old lady finished speaking, she deliberately looked at Yu Qinniang, who had been busy giving Tianxin burritos, her eldest great-grandson Bao had no mother, and the second granddaughter-in-law could honestly treat her in-laws and nieces, which also made her very satisfied.

Otherwise, she could pat her chest and say, "Xiaoqin, you just pick up the back garden at home, and the grandmother outside will do it, and you won't do it if you have a big belly." ”

This tires her, and sometimes she is paralyzed on the ground with no end in sight, and she regrets saying this. I also moved the idea that she couldn't hire two people, she had eight taels of private silver, and even the vegetable garden was contracted to others to do it.

After all, whose vegetable garden is planted on ten acres of land. It doesn't seem to be a vegetable garden, their old Xu family's vegetable field is so big that it looks like a pig farm.

After the old lady finished reporting, Xu Lao Er bit the cake and ate half full, and then reported to Mrs. Xu:

"Mother, the new house has been measured, our family has several workshops and their own houses, furniture, courtyards, how much wood and stones to build the kang, walls, gatehouses, these are all measured. It is estimated that our house has many houses and large yards, even if we hire hundreds of people to work together, how can we work for more than four months until autumn. A few days later, I hired someone to start digging the foundation, and I thought I had to dig all the sewers first. ”

Xu Lao Er ate two more bites of the cake, scooped a spoonful of egg sauce and stirred it into millet porridge, drank two sips and continued:

"The few families in the village who received merchants from the mutual market, they all said that it was cold now, and if the hired workers who built houses for our family had no place to live, and the kang was empty, they would go to live in a few of them. I thought that living in the village would be closer to our shop than to live in our shop. As for the big kang in our shop, it will be for the villagers who work there to live in. Anyway, it was cold and hard in the early stage, and when it came to June, you could sleep in the open air without a shed. ”

Xu Youcang reminded the second brother: "Don't forget that there is also the matter of the brick kiln." ”

"Ah, yes, mother, the owner of the brick kiln sent his big shopkeeper to measure the ruler in person, and told him that a car can send a thousand green bricks, and we need to order in advance so as not to delay our work. It's just that there is no price, and I have to wait for you to come back to talk, and I don't know the bottom of my heart. As soon as I asked that side, that side said, don't worry, the price is a matter between me and your mother, and it is cheaper to specify than to sell to others, you don't have to worry about it. ”

If you don't care about it, you have to buy tens of thousands of yuan, and you have to spend one hundred and eighty taels of silver.

Mrs. Xu said that she knew, and signaled her son and grandchildren not to talk in a hurry and eat quickly.

But there were too many things to report, Xu Lao Er asked Xu Tianxin, what is a sun room, and can you draw a picture. The second uncle really hasn't seen it.

The third uncle Xu Youcang asked his eldest niece, did your uncle send talcum powder to the house to wipe the wall?

Xu Tianxin said: "It's almost, but it's too difficult for my uncle to cut down, in a few days, third uncle, you go to Xishan Town, I saw it in the kiln workshop of the owner's family, they mix talcum powder when making pottery, so that the pottery becomes smooth and not rough." I heard that Yu Dongjia had never spent money to buy it, and he knew that the location could be pulled directly to his home by a large number of cars. ”

Xu Youcang responded: "Cheng." ”

Xu Youyin hesitated for a moment before glancing at his niece, and whispered to Mrs. Xu: "Mother, Tian Xin'er asked to build the school, and the villagers have some other opinions. ”

"What, don't you agree? No, we use our own land, and we don't use theirs, their babies can still learn in vain, where to pick up this cheap and good thing? It's time to go out and pick up the money. It's just our Tian Xin'er, alas, I'm not very old, and I'm still worried about the benefit of the people, tsk, I think it's to accumulate blessings for my family, so I agree. How dare they think otherwise? ”

"No, mother, you misunderstood, it's the opposite. Didn't Uncle Li tell you? The people in the village discussed not letting our family hire someone to build two schools, saying that everyone would drop the adobe and build it brick by brick, and we couldn't let our family build the homestead and hire someone to build the house. It's just that these schools are best used for two purposes, after studying during the day, they will be used as a general meeting in the village at night, if they are borrowed, the families in the village will take turns to help sprinkle and sweep, and in the autumn they will also give firewood. ”

"Ah, that's fine, what are you doing here?"

"It's the name of the school, it's not cutting wood right now, by the way, let's get a plaque first. Said to be called Tianxin Academy, I said that my niece disagreed, and I said earlier that I should not name it after her. Let's call it Xu's School, there are other people's surnames in our miscellaneous surname village, and then the fourth uncle and the seventh uncle they said, called, called Arita School. ”

The fourth uncle's original words, the Tian core of the Tian family is out of the school built on the ground, the female is not a female doll, and it is also under the name of the family if she does not marry outside in the future, so that the name of the Tian Tian has both nostalgia and Tian Xin.

Xu Youyin guessed, if you can't help it, you can't touch their brothers, after all, the word 'have' also includes them.

Xu Tianxin heard it, why was she always afraid that she would suddenly go crazy and get sick when she heard her father, so that the uncle was careful when mentioning her father's name: "It's good, just call it this." Didn't you say that my father once wanted to take the Xiucai exam? The school uses his name, hoping to have a few more talents. When the time comes, let these be admitted, return to their alma mater and give us a plaque. ”

Xu Lao Er held back for a long time before he held back a sentence: "It's not that I've been thinking about it all the time, it's half a year to ......" In the half year before leaving home and being forced to conscript, I thought about the test for children and talents. There are some things about his eldest brother, he exaggerated.

Isn't that more powerful?
