The owner of the forest house greeted these grandparents, and the uncles, aunts and aunts shouted one by one.

Someone recognized Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu, "Yo, isn't this the young brother who sells mushrooms in the market?" Is the surname Lin or what? Hey, Xiaolin, is it your relative? I bought their mushrooms with your mother last time, why didn't you hear your mother mention it? ”

The owner of the Lin house waved his hand, "No, it's just a coincidence, they came to see my house, and if they are optimistic, they will live here in the future, Aunt Zhao, you talk to the uncles and aunts in the building, and take care of them a little more in the future." ”

"Then you still have to say? Little girl, young man, you can live in peace, our area is safe. Grandparents sit downstairs every day, making sure that no bad guy dares to come. ”

"Yes, yes, if you have something, you can tell me, and the grandparents who can help can help."

Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu thanked their grandparents, and then followed the owner of the Lin house upstairs.

The room is more than 60 square meters, but the house at that time did not have a shared area, and it looked larger than the current 70 square meters.

There is a small hall at the door, and there are two bedrooms next to each other, one large and one small, with two large beds of one meter and five wide, and a wardrobe in one room, all of which are empty.

The bathroom is on the opposite side of the small room, not big, and has a toilet for one person to shower.

Refrigerators, color TVs, washing machines, gas stoves, and range hoods are available.

The sister and brother were very satisfied after looking around, and finally rented the house with the owner of the Lin house, and after signing the contract, they paid a year's rent and a month's deposit.

The owner of the forest house left two keys, one for the door and the other for the entrance of the building. confessed: "You go back and find someone to change the lock of the door, it won't cost a lot of money." If you live in peace, I can rest assured that I will rent. ”

After saying that, the man departed.

Aunt Qi asked the siblings to stay and clean up, she went out to buy two futons, and also bought a lock and a tool to change the lock, and she changed the lock cylinder herself.

Aunt Qi taught Lin Xiaoman's sister and brother to use water, electricity and gas, and only after seeing that they all learned it could they help clean up the house.

The house was clean, just wiped with dust. Aunt Qi took them out for another meal, and when she sent the sisters and brothers back, it was already past seven o'clock.

Aunt Qi asked them to lock the door inside at night, and taught them how to lock it before leaving.

The siblings moved to a new house, took a shower here, and slept soundly.

They still remember to move the wardrobe to the river, set an alarm watch, get up at two o'clock in the middle of the night, and people are still a little confused. After lying down for a while, I remembered that this was the house they rented, and I could live here if I wanted to live in the future. The mood is very excited, it is really too convenient to live here, and you don't need to go out to take a shower and go to the toilet.

I heard that the heating is very warm in winter, and the room can be more than 20 degrees.

It's just that the fifth floor is too high, and if they want to pass through their wardrobe, they have to hang it to the sky.

Back there, there was no one in the village anymore, Lin Xiaoman picked up the wardrobe and walked towards the river, Lin Erhu followed behind to help keep an eye on whether anyone was following.

Fortunately, the night was cold, the countrymen went to bed early, and there was no one outside.

After Lin Xiaoman adjusted the direction several times, he finally determined the location of the warehouse on a piece of wasteland that had not yet been cultivated.

drew a big circle, and built a pile of stones in the circle, with a branch inserted on it, and Lin Xiaoman carried the wardrobe home again.

I got up early and went to the west of the village to find the craftsmen from the city, and wanted to ask them to help him build a few stone houses in the open space by the river.

At this time, the houses in the West Village were repaired without them having to keep watching, leaving two people here to watch, and the rest of the people followed Lin Xiaoman to the river.

Lin Xiaoman pointed to the location where the mark was made, "Five stone rooms will be built here, I will make a mark here to build a bedroom, and the rest of the rooms will be used to grow side dishes in winter." ”

The craftsmen are all old craftsmen, and after listening to it, they all understand what Lin Xiaoman is going to do, but a few of them have to build five stone houses for a few days, and Lin Xiaoman will hit the idea on the people who are clearing the wasteland over there.

Anyway, they come here to work for themselves, and it is the same work to open up the wasteland or build a house, and there must always be a priority.

Lin Xiaoman found Peng Guancha, "Uncle Peng, I want to build a few stone houses there, but there are not enough manpower......

Without waiting for Lin Xiaoman to finish speaking, Peng Guancha continued: "Do you want to use people?" How old is it? I'm still worried that I won't need so many people to open up the wasteland, so let them get together and know how to fight every day. It's okay to work separately. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to a few people, including Xu Qiuliang, "You guys went over there to help build a house." ”

Lin Xiaoman recognized that these people were all on good terms with Xu Qiuliang, which showed that Peng Guancha really wanted to separate the two groups of people.

There are many stones in the wasteland, and there is a steady supply there, under the supervision of the craftsmen, Lin Xiaoman does not need to worry.

Looking at Xu Qiuliang's slender and thin figure and slightly pale face, I don't know if he was born like this, or if he suffered too many sins on the way to distribution. So I was worried that he would fall down while he was working.

Thinking that Qingshu said to let her take care of one or two more, Lin Xiaoman went home and boiled a pot of brown sugar water, put it in a bucket, picked it up with a flat pole, and gave each of these people who built a house a bowl of brown sugar water.

Holding the brown sugar water in his hand, Xu Qiuliang felt a lot of emotion, thinking that when he was an official in the court, the delicacies of the mountains and seas were not rare to eat, not to mention this bowl of brown sugar water.

can fall from the height to the trough, suffer all the hardships, and can't remember how many times he fought with the people for a piece of cake, and at this time he can drink a bowl of brown sugar water, which is no different from the elixir and jade liquid for him.

Life has its ups and downs...... Since the crown prince was established, these courtiers who were either related to the second prince or had too close relationships began to be suppressed, and it is conceivable that when the crown prince ascends the throne, their fate will only be worse.

Now that he had been exiled three times before him, he had not had time to resign, and he had also followed in the footsteps.

Alas! He didn't know where the road ahead was, but there seemed to be something stirring in his chest, which made him want to smash the bowl and sing indulgingly.

The bowl in his hand was raised, and at the moment when he was about to fall, he heard a voice that was not soft, but crisp, "Uncle, do you want to drink another bowl?" ”

What emotions, no impulses, Xu Qiuliang looked down and saw Lin Xiaoman's smiling face, as well as the bowl of brown sugar water in her hand.

Looking at the bowl in his hand, Xu Qiuliang felt that if he dared to drop the bowl in his hand, this little girl would not cook brown sugar water for him in the future.

While secretly rejoicing in his heart, he nodded spinelessly, "Yes!" ”

"Okay, uncle, you bring the bowl over and I'll pour it for you."

After Xu Qiuliang drank another bowl of brown sugar water, he was still unsatisfied, Lin Xiaoman said: "You can't drink too much water, I put the bucket here, and the uncle wants to drink it again." ”

Xu Qiuliang hummed softly, and the official over there shouted to let him work, Xu Qiuliang put down the bowl and ran over.

He was escorted all the way, protected by several brothers of the same mother, he had never been whipped, but he often saw thorns and beatings, especially his eldest brother, who didn't know how to look at his eyes, and he received the most whips at the beginning.
