Ning Changrong stopped Ning Laoer, who had just come back from outside.

Ning Lao Er stopped and looked at his eldest brother suspiciously.

The land in the yard is limited, and his family has planted some outside the yard, but they are leaning against the corner of his room, and he is not afraid of being stolen.

In the past few days, the whole village has been serving Chinese cabbage, including the two brothers of the Ning family.

"Big brother?"

Ning Changrong beckoned him to come over and pointed to their house, Ning Changrong's room was on the left side of Wang Xiujuan's room, Wang Xiujuan's room was in the middle, and the right side had been fenced by a wall, which was a low small earthen wall that divided the three houses, with a sense of space.

"Sissi is also a big girl, and I plan to build another house for Sissi to live alone. It's right next to mine. I have already discussed with the village chief about expanding the yard a little more, and he agreed. Now the problem is to find someone to help me expand the yard and build a house. ”

Ning Lao Er thought that his eldest brother wanted him to help him build a house together, so he nodded hurriedly, "Okay, big brother, when are you going to build it?" I'm always available to help. ”

Ning Changrong was satisfied, it was the other party's appearance that he regarded his affairs as his own business, so that their family of three would pull them in if there was any good thing on weekdays.

"Of course you have to help, don't you come to help your eldest brother build a house?"

Ning Changrong paused and said:

"I also know that you have a lot of things to do at home, and you have a child to take care of, and I know about your daughter-in-law's mother's family. You've been babbling in front of me for the past few days, and that's what you want to say, right? ”

Ning Lao Er scratched the back of his head, his face was crimson, and he seemed to be a little embarrassed, ashamed that he was incompetent.

"Big brother, I'm ......"

Ning Changrong raised his hand to interrupt the other party's words, "I know what you want to say, the eldest brother and the mother are helping the third family because they have saltpeter in their family, and we just need this kind of thing." The second brother and sister have nothing at home, and there is no reason for the eldest brother to help the younger brother-in-law's mother's family. ”

Ning Lao Er listened to the words of the eldest brother, and he couldn't raise his head even more, and his mood was a little low.

Ning Changrong patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, eldest brother is not thinking about you, I plan to expand the yard a little more, build a room for Xixi, and repair the kitchen, so I can do a lot of work." A few people may be needed by then. You can ask someone from your second sibling's family to come over and help. If you calculate the salary, ten yuan a day, no food. If you want to exchange food, you can exchange it according to the previous market price, and it will not be counted as the current raised food price, and the eldest brother can only help you get here. ”

Ning Changrong's original body used to run errands in the county inn, and he only had two dollars of silver a month, and after calculating, it was more than 6 yuan a day, but the inn had a meal, and he didn't plan to make a meal, so he had a few extra yuan.

Ning Laoer's eyes were red, and he slowly raised his head, "Big brother." "When the eldest brother said that just now, he thought that the other party didn't care about him, but he didn't expect the eldest brother to still remember him.

Just like his eldest brother said, there is indeed no reason for the eldest brother to help his brother-in-law's mother's family, that is, because he knows this truth, so he has never been able to speak in front of the eldest brother.

His daughter-in-law cries at home every day, talking about the nephew at home for a while, and the father and mother at home for a while. There is a fixed amount of food in the family, and they can't go hungry to get close to the Yue family.

"Okay, don't drop beans for me, let's say okay first, it's okay for someone from your Yue family to work, but if you don't do it well, I won't be polite, and I can only pick people up when the time comes."

Ning Lao Er hurriedly promised, "Big brother, don't worry! I'm keeping an eye on them myself, and if they don't do well, you can drive them away!" ”

Ning Changrong added, "You come over to work, the eldest brother will provide you with a meal at most, don't think about the money." ”

"No, no, I'll just go home and eat, I definitely don't have to give money, my eldest brother and I are brothers, what money do I need to help you work? So what have I become? ”

Leaving from Ning Changrong, Ning Lao Er no longer had the sad face of the past, and went to Fang Chunmei with a smile to tell him the good news about his daughter-in-law.

After Fang Chunmei heard it, she hugged the child and thanked Ning Changrong with Ning Laoer, and she couldn't cry. Finally, after getting the date to build the house, I went back to my parents' house with Ning Laoer.

……

Ning Qingxi boiled water with her grandmother Wang Xiujuan in the kitchen, added some sugar to it, put it in a bucket next to it to cool, and carried it to Ning Changrong's side where they were working.

The sugar originally used to make mushroom culture liquid had been used up, and when Ning Changrong went to the county, he remembered it and bought some more.

He was taking Fang Chunmei's two elder brothers, his two brothers to work, and an uninvited Ning Daniu.

He is known as the good brother who has the strongest relationship with Ning Changrong in the entire village, after all, he is the only one who has the crossbow of the Ning family, and the good brother builds a house, how can he not come to help?

Anyway, the cabbage that his family wants to serve is almost the same, and his younger brother Ning Xiaoniu in the back can also make it.

Ning Husheng also brought his own dry food to help the Ning family, he was brought by his father.

Village Chief Ning is optimistic about this family, and he will also help if he can help on weekdays. Ning Changrong said that he wanted to expand his yard outward, but Village Chief Ning agreed without saying a word, anyway, it was all a village, and there was a lot of land, so he didn't even ask for money.

If anyone else in the village needs help.

Village Chief Ning: Is there anyone in your house?

Wang Xiujuan enthusiastically said to Fang Chunmei's eldest brother, "Let's drink some water?" Tired, right? Take a break. ”

This family is really sincere, and since they came to work here in the morning, they have never stopped in their hands.

It's not easy to have such a job to earn some food for the family, where do the Fang brothers dare to be lazy? They didn't choose to ask for copper money, they directly asked for food, after all, they couldn't buy any food with the money. According to the current price of grain, Ning Changrong and his family are still at a loss, so the brothers dare not be lazy.

After hearing Wang Xiujuan's words, Brother Fang straightened up and looked at the other party, his face was covered with sweat, and he was still a little dizzy when he stood up, and he couldn't help shaking his body.

The two of them ate some vegetable cakes in the morning, and they were the only ones who had them.

If you want to go out to work, you can't drink vegetable soup like everyone else, and when the time comes, you can't exert your strength, and you will be driven back by others. But the pancakes had been dried for so long that day, and they had already been digested.

Brother Fang took Wang Xiujuan's water and drank it all, and couldn't help but lick all the water stains on the side of his mouth. "Why are you still putting sugar? It's sweet, thank you, auntie. ”

Wang Xiujuan looked at the other party with concern, this baby looked weak, and when the other party shook just now, she thought that Brother Fang Chunmei was going to faint.

"Drink more if you want, come, drink another bowl."

Brother Fang couldn't hold back, his throat slid up and down, and he drank another bowl embarrassedly. After drinking, I felt as if my body had some strength again, so I didn't continue to talk to Wang Xiujuan, and immediately threw myself into work.

Ning Qingxi carried a bowl of sugar water with a little salt in it to replenish his father's energy.

Ning Changrong took the bowl handed over by his daughter, raised his head and drank it cleanly.
