Dong Sanhua's face was pale, she wiped the sweat on her forehead, and said with a smile: "Maybe I was busy when I went out, and I blamed myself for not being careless and not seeing a stone on the ground." ”

She said, preparing to pick up the bucket herself.

But Sister-in-law Liu saw that she was struggling to walk, so she simply waved her hand: "Okay, you stand still, I'll pick it up for you." ”

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Dong Sanhua was very grateful.

Sister-in-law Liu picked up two buckets and walked back quickly.

She asked Dong Sanhua to wait at the door, and she went to fill the bucket for her.

I saw Liu's sister-in-law enter her yard, her movements were swift and fast, first fetching water and simply cleaning the wooden barrel, and then filling two full buckets of clean water.

Uncle Liu came down after drying corn on the roof and saw Dong Sanhua standing at the door.

asked Liu's sister-in-law: "Why don't you invite someone in for a cup of tea?" ”

Sister-in-law Liu turned around with a stern look: "Are you in a panic?" ”

She filled the water and turned to face Dong Sanhua before she smiled: "Let's go, sister-in-law will help you carry it back." ”

Dong Sanhua was a little embarrassed: "How troublesome it is for you, thank you sister-in-law." ”

After entering Dong Sanhua's house, Liu's sister-in-law took a look and looked around.

I felt a little envious in my heart.

Dong Sanhua is a relative of Grandma Qin, and Shen Ningning takes a lot of care of her.

The neat wood in this yard was chopped by Uncle Deng for Dong Sanhua.

There are also two water tanks before, and now there is a little clear water, I heard that Shen Ningning brought it to her from the mountain.

This is the mountain spring water that is serious, and the sister-in-law Liu thinks that what she drinks at home is only from the well.

As soon as I entered the house again, I found that the house was also big, and Dong Sanhua was clean and spotless.

On the windowsill, there is a porcelain vase with a round mouth and blue glaze embroidered with pineapple flowers, and a handful of yellow wildflowers with grass edges are inserted in it.

The color is bright and rich, and it is a good thing at a glance, and the contrast with the surrounding simple furnishings is obvious.

Sister-in-law Liu sighed, pointed to the vase and asked, "This is a gift from Ning Ning, right?" I wanted to ask her for a round pot of flowers, but she said no! ”

Dong Sanhua was making tea for her, and said with a smile: "This is what my aunt gave me." ”

Sister-in-law Liu pouted secretly, what Grandma Qin gave was also Shen Ningning's thing.

As the county lord, the little guy has no less rewards from the emperor and the crown prince.

Sister-in-law Liu pressed the unbalanced strength in her heart, took Dong Sanhua's tea, and she got down to business.

"Sister Sanhua, it's not a way for you to keep carrying water like this, it's important for you to let Brother Deng open the well for you."

Dong Sanhua smiled: "I told Brother Deng last time, but he should have been a little busy recently, so he hasn't been free." ”

Sister-in-law Liu snorted: "Look, this is that he is not sensible, how can he make you thirsty, you have to talk about him when you go back." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Sister-in-law Liu said: "I have two brothers in my family, who used to work as a husband at the dock, and now they are idle. ”

"Why don't I call them and help you get the well through?"

Dong Sanhua's eyes were dark: "Really? That's going to be a hassle for my sister-in-law! ”

"It's all neighbors, what kind words can you say," Sister-in-law Liu waved her hand, held her arms and smiled: "It's not hard work, you just need to give each of them twenty taels." ”

Twenty taels per person?

Dong Sanhua's smile froze.

Forty taels for two men.

A while ago, she planted a batch of sweet potatoes through Shen Ningning's relationship, and the emperor rewarded her with three hundred taels.

But she first took out a part of the silver and redeemed her deed of sale.

With the rest of the money, she renovated the yard and planted a small vegetable garden.

Now there are less than fifty taels left on the body.

"Sister-in-law, is it so expensive? Can it be cheaper? Dong Sanhua asked embarrassedly.

Sister-in-law Liu immediately refused: "That's not good, this is the cheapest price." ”

"If you go outside and find someone to do, everyone will be at least thirty taels, and now that the drought has just passed, the people outside are like robbing money."

"Fortunately, this is my brother, otherwise I wouldn't have had this price."

Seeing Dong Sanhua's embarrassment, Liu's sister-in-law said again: "Sister Sanhua, you just agree, you won't lose." ”

"Even if Brother Deng goes outside to find someone for you, he will have to spend this silver."

Just this sentence woke up Dong Sanhua.

No wonder Deng Jixiang agreed to her, but he didn't move for a long time.

It is probably impossible to find workers at the right price.

In that case, why should she bother others?

So, Dong Sanhua gritted her teeth and nodded: "Okay, sister-in-law, I'll give you the silver." ”

"Okay." Sister-in-law Liu smiled.

Dong Sanhua sent her out of the door, and Liu's sister-in-law agreed over and over again.

"Don't worry, I'll go to Guangyang County to find my two younger brothers in a while, and ask them to come and start work for you in two days."

When she happily returned home, Uncle Liu was feeding the chickens.

I saw Liu's sister-in-law holding a bag of silver.

"Where's the money?"

"Sister Sanhua gave it, I promised to find those two brothers in my family and give her a well."

With that, Sister-in-law Liu entered the house and put all the silver away.

When Uncle Liu heard this, his face changed in shock, and he immediately put down the basket and followed the house.

"Why do you call the shots, didn't I tell you, Jixiang he went to the capital to buy materials today, and I and he can help Dong Sanhua open the well when I turn around, why did you still collect her money alone?"

Sister-in-law Liu pushed the drawer back heavily.

She raised two sharp eyes: "I just don't agree with you to work for nothing!" ”

"Besides, what are you afraid of receiving this bit of silver from her, haven't you gone to her house to see, the cabinet on the kang is still mahogany!"

"Deng Jixiang fell in love with Dong Sanhua, so he ran diligently before and after, why, you also fell in love with it?"

Uncle Liu's dark face was filled with anger: "Don't talk nonsense, the bad guys are innocent!" Hurry up and return the silver, I have promised auspiciousness. ”

He reached out to grab the silver, but Liu's sister-in-law refused to give it.

In the end, both men lost their tempers.

"How can you be like this, Dong Sanhua is a relative of Grandma Qin, how much Ning Ning and Grandma Qin have helped us, you don't count in your heart?" Uncle Liu asked angrily.

Sister-in-law Liu twisted her eyebrows: "Ning Ning is Ning Ning, she is her." ”

"What's more, even if Ning Ning comes, she won't take advantage of us, let us work for her for nothing, why should she just be a Dong Sanhua?"

The two of them were arguing.

Their son, Liu Hu, ran in with snot thrown at him.

"Dad, mother, don't quarrel, Sister Little Wolf has come to our village with the village chief and many officials!"

Sister-in-law Liu was taken aback, and immediately looked happy: "It must be another good deed for our village, let's take a walk, go out and have a look." ”

Before leaving, she locked the drawer.

At this time.

Shen Ningning had already taken the old village chief and several officials of the Ministry of Industry to walk on the village road of Xiangyun Village under the scorching sun.

The little guy is wearing a blue gown and a gauzy-like sleeve, and his little face is round and fair.

She pointed to the boundary of Xiangyun Village and introduced it as she walked.

"I heard the village chief's grandfather say that our Xiangyun Village was still sparsely populated many years ago, and then gradually, many villagers from other places settled here in order to enter Beijing."

"It is precisely because we all come from all over the world that we have different surnames, and some of our ancestors are buried in the fields, and some are buried in the mountains."

The officials of the Ministry of Works, dressed in splendid official robes, looked around, and then nodded their heads one after another.

Shen Ningning's eyes were moist and dark: "So, I plan to move the ancestral tombs of Xiangyun Village to one piece, and I have also chosen a piece of land." ”

"My brother helped me send you over today, just to see for me, how to start the construction, let's discuss a charter."

Sister-in-law Liu squeezed out of the crowd.

Hurriedly asked: "Ning Ning, why don't you discuss this matter with us in advance?" ”

"How much money will you give us?"

I want to have a bottle of Forget Worry Water, drink it and then you can be happy forever!
