Chapter 211: Proposal to divide the room

The door opened, the Qin family stood at the door, Qin Zhao had the fastest hands and feet, and he stepped forward to lift the fat rabbit.

At this moment, boom - boom -

There was a roar from the mountain.

"What sound?"

Everyone in the Qin family couldn't help but look at the mountain.

"The mountain has collapsed?"

At this time, a thin middle-aged man diagonally opposite the Qin family pushed the door out, "No, you hear this sound not because the mountain is falling, but because the mountain is hitting bluestones." ”

As he spoke, his gaze fell on the rabbit that Qin Zhao was carrying. The movement of hitting the bluestone was too loud, startling the small animals in the mountain, so the rabbit would escape.

He had just been resting in the yard when he saw this rabbit running down the hill.

And the Qin family's house is at the foot of the mountain, and this rabbit hit the Qin family's door headlong, which is also good luck.

Looking at the fat rabbit, he smacked his mouth.

The Qin family was also looking at this neighbor, and saw that he was wearing shabby clothes and a scruffy beard, obviously he hadn't taken care of it for a long time.

Lu Songli noticed that he had a strong literati atmosphere, and his eyes were silent and introverted, with occasional flashes of fine light.

Qin Heng spoke up, "Thank you, Mr. for your doubts, in Xia Qin Heng, they are all my family, I don't know Mr. Your surname?" Where is your ancestral home? ”

Gu Zhang said lightly, "Don't have your surname Gu." As for the ancestral hometown, let's not talk about it, it's not enough to worry about. Qin family, I know you, the relatives of General Qin Yue and Qin who have been guarding the northern border. ”

When Lu Songli heard this, he was a little surprised, the imperial court deliberately downplayed the merits and existence of the military generals who guarded the Quartet, not only the Qin family guarding the north, but also the Sun family guarding the southwest. For example, Tang Yueguang and Mo Lianfeng, who were in charge of the handover just now, even if they knew that they were members of the Qin family, their performance was indifferent. But she didn't expect that the middle-aged man in front of her would know?

Gu Zhang asked, "What kind of work did you get?" ”

"Turning the floor." There's nothing that can't be said about that.

Gu Zhang nodded, "That's okay." Not the hardest, most tiring and most dangerous job. Like the outcasts who are now beating bluestones in the mountains, they are doing the hardest and most tiring work, and it is also dangerous. ”

Gu Zhang saw that the Qin family had just arrived, and he intended to say a few more words to them.

"After beating the bluestone, it's time to hit the stone, it's all the work of us exiles."

Hitting bluestone, Lu Songli knows that this is to burn lime. Bluestone is most afraid of fire, and when it burns bluestone, it will turn into lime. In fact, in addition to bluestone, limestone, chalk, and dolomitic limestone can all be used to produce lime.

"Hit stones, do you want to repair the city walls?" They also have such work in the north, Qin Heng and Qin Zhao have all gone to work as overseers.

Gu Zhang likes this kind of smart person who can understand it at one point, and nodded at the moment, "Go to Xianbei and go south and break through Xiangping City, this will be busy with spring ploughing, and it is too late to make up for it, and when spring ploughing is over, we have to go to beat stones and repair the city wall." The repair of the city wall is not finished, and it is necessary to continue quarrying and repairing roads and paving roads. "It's just a lot of work.

When the Qin family heard this, their only feeling was that when the exile was so busy, it seemed that there was no time to stop.

Gu Zhang just came over to say hello, chatted a few words, and went back.

At this moment, the people from Juntun sent them half a month's rations for their family, a total of 200 catties of grain. In addition, he also brought them a one-time entry and exit token that Mo Lianfeng promised to give.

Lu Songli stepped forward to take the token and went to see the grain, as expected, these two hundred catties of grain were all coarse grains. There are all kinds of grains, but they are all mixed together.

The people who came told them that the daily food provided by the exiles was one pound for adult men, eight taels for adult women, and half a pound for children. These two hundred catties, they need to eat for half a month, and if they eat it in advance, they will not give them any more food.

Lu Songli calculated it and gave seven catties less. I don't know where she was deducted, and she didn't bother to care.

In fact, she thinks that this ration is still good, and if she cooks according to this amount, the whole family can barely eat six or seven points full. Because there are few people at this time, it is not surprising that a half-grown child who is about ten years old can eat three or four taels a meal.

That's already nice. In the black soil here, the grain production is quite good. If you go to other places of exile, you probably won't be able to distribute that much rations.

Lu Songli took the token, but unfortunately it was already dark at this time, and it was only tomorrow if she wanted to go out.

Next, they began to make dinner on the fire, which they now only had one broken clay pot to use, and finally spent an hour making a lid of braised rabbit and coarse grain rice.

Everyone was well fed and satisfied.

After eating, it's time to divide the room.

It took them two hours to clean the house. The most important thing is that the two cracks, they can barely hold on to the mud.

Lu Songli looked up, she really hadn't lived in such a dilapidated house for a long time.

Five main rooms, each three zhang wide, five zhang deep, converted into the area of later generations, is about twenty-three or four square meters, large is large enough.

Qin's mother and Shen Erniang live in one room.

Mother Qin and Shen Erniang lived in one room temporarily, and in the next few days, they would find a way to divide the room in half.

Of the remaining four, the four brothers of the Qin family have one room with their children.

Because Qin Jia is eight years old, Qin Heng is still a widower, and it is not suitable to sleep in a room with her, so Qin Jia lives with Qin's mother.

After dividing the room, they went back to clean up.

No one complained bitterly, on the way to exile, the places where they slept were all improvised, and now each family was assigned a room, what else was there to complain about.

At this time, Qin's mother stopped her youngest son, "Come here." ”

"What's the matter, mother?"

"Don't recruit your daughter-in-law at night."

When Leng Buding heard this, Qin Sheng was stunned.

Qin Mu didn't hear his answer, and asked again, "Did you hear that?" ”

Qin Sheng's face turned red, and it took a long time before he held back a sentence, "Mother, how do you say this?" ”

Qin's mother laughed, "Your father is gone, if your father is here, he must have told you this." But my mother is from here, and you are my mother's son, so it's okay to say it. ”

Speaking of his father, Qin Sheng was also a little depressed.

"Your father is gone, and it stands to reason that you and your daughter-in-law need to keep filial piety for three years." Because he went at the end of last year, it was enough for them to keep the system for two whole years.

In fact, filial piety is not so strict, seven emotions and six desires are human nature, as long as people do not make trouble, everyone turns a blind eye.

But the husband was willing to die for the sake of the Qin family, and the people he was most worried about before he died were the youngest son and daughter-in-law, and Qin's mother didn't want this matter to become a stain on the character of the youngest son and daughter-in-law, and would be criticized in the future.

"Mother, we know." Qin Sheng said in a low voice, so neither he nor his daughter-in-law crossed the last line.

Qin's mother thought about it, but she was still not at ease, "Otherwise, I have a room with your daughter-in-law, and you have a room by yourself?" "The two of them are young and vigorous, what should I do if I misfire?

Mother Qin's words hit him on the head like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

"No, no, mother, don't come." Qin Sheng shook his head.

Occasionally kissing and hugging his daughter-in-law and holding him high is what he looks forward to the most every day, and his mother wants to deprive him? No, no, no.

And he is a person who has a daughter-in-law, and the eldest brother won't talk about it before he renewes the string, but why can the second brother and the third brother sleep with their daughter-in-law at night, but he can't?

"Virtue, my mother won't tell you, my mother will tell your daughter-in-law to go."
