As soon as Wu Xiao'e heard that a house was built for them, her heart was excited and hot, and she hurriedly smiled and said, "Mother, we are not tired." Besides, isn't it normal for peasant families to work? ”

"Hehe, I know you're in a hurry, but this matter can't be rushed." Mrs. Liu said, looking at Old Man Liu, "In charge, our family hasn't stopped since the wheat harvest, but we can't boil it." ”

Old man Liu thought about it and felt that what the old wife said was right, and the iron-beaten people couldn't stand up the heavy work every day, "It's okay to build the house before it freezes, it's really not in a hurry." Besides, the family also has a house to live in, the second one, the second one's family, don't worry. It's not that your mother doesn't want to build you a house, but she wants everyone to have a good rest for a while. ”

Liu Yiyi took a small fan and fanned herself, "Grandfather, grandmother, those light jobs, we do them ourselves, why don't we spend money to ask someone to help with heavy work?" After all, after half a month, a batch of muskmelons will be ripe, and they will sell melons······"

Mrs. Liu thought about it carefully and was slightly stunned, "Ask someone to work for twenty wen a day, let's hire five at a time, one hundred wen a day, plus our family, we can build a house in ten days, and it will cost an extra tael of silver." ”

Hearing this, Old Man Liu shook his head again and again, "No, this is a tael of silver, although our family's life is better, but there are more places to spend money, we can't waste it like this." I took the three of them and Da Lang, Erlang, and San Lang to do it slowly, not in a hurry, not in a hurry······"

When Liu Yiyi heard this, she was a little angry, she could have spent money to find someone to work, but she had to do it herself.

Although I understand the diligence and thrift of the elderly, I can't pick the door!

Forget it, Liu Yiyi won't say it anymore.

Old man Liu took his son and grandson to work morning and night, not in a hurry or slow, but not as tired as before.

The second uncle and the second aunt work harder than anyone else, after all, they are building a house for them. In order to be able to build a bigger one, the second uncle and the second aunt decided to take out fifteen taels of silver and build four main rooms in the back and four wing rooms on each side.

Cover it all at once, and you will have more space in your home.

When the two daughters-in-law marry daughters-in-law, there is no need to build a new house.

Liu Yiyi put all the spirit on the more than one acre of melon field.

Others were too busy with their work to come and see less.

"Mother, there are too many flowers, if you don't pick some down, the melons won't grow." Liu Yiyi asked her mother for help, but she was too young to do it at all.

The seedlings in the field are very high, and when you reach the field, you can only see her head.

Zhao Xiaolan smiled and said, "Okay, I think your melon field is very good, as for hunting pigweed, let your second and third aunts go." ”

Zhao Xiaolan knocked out the excess flowers, and after the remaining flowers were pollinated, they could bear melons.

Liu Yiyi came to the field every day to take a look, especially when she saw so many little bees flying around in the melon field, "Oh, it would be nice to get a beehive, at least you can collect honey." ”

Zhao Xiaolan said with a smile: "If there is no royal jelly, even if you get a beehive, this bee will not come!" When you have time, let your brother go to the back mountain to dig out a honeycomb, get royal jelly, and ask your second brother to make a beehive for you. ”

"Mmmm, the second brother is skillful, mother, I see that the second brother likes to do carpentry work, do you want the second brother to learn carpenter's trade?" Liu Yiyi asked, there is an elder brother who can be a carpenter on the side, and she can inspire her brother to make more farm tools in the future.

Zhao Xiaolan thought for a while, "It's good to learn carpenter, but it's too hard." ”

Liu Yiyi pointed to her grandfather, father, and brothers, who were building a house not far away, "Coolies are the hardest." If you have a lot of skills, a carpenter is done well, which is much better than farming and doing hard work. ”

Hearing her daughter's words, Zhao Xiaolan nodded, "Yes, if you have craftsmanship, you will have food, even if you go to work in the city, if you do a good job as a carpenter, you will earn more money." Okay, in the evening, I'll ask your second brother and discuss it with my father. ”

Liu Yiyi has already reminded her mother that with Zhao Xiaolan's shrewdness, she will definitely try it.

In the evening, after dinner, the family enjoyed the shade in the yard.

Liu Yiyi hurriedly asked Liu Goro, "Brother, what did you learn today?" Shall we be taught to memorize first? ”

Liu Wulang smiled, looked at the studious little sister, and nodded, "Okay, we learned the "Cai Wei" in the Book of Poetry today, and there is your name in it!" In the past, I went back, and the willows were still ······"

Because of the name, Liu Yiyi knew the song "Cai Wei", but she still followed Liu Goro's voice and began to recite it.

Liu Hachiro originally wanted to play, but when he saw that his sister had already started reciting, he came over honestly and didn't dare to play.

If you can't carry it, the little sister will beat him.

If you can't memorize it, the little sister will tell her father, and then her father will give him mixed doubles.

It's dark, I can't see, I can only endorse.

Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang also followed, although they memorized slowly, but they were also accumulating little by little.

This old man Liu's family spent three shares of money, and all the children in the family were literate, which was an unexpected joy.

Even the three brothers Liu Zhijiang, Liu Zhihe, and Liu Zhihu sometimes hold branches to write and draw on the sand table, not asking for more, only to read words, to settle accounts, and to read contracts.

Old man Liu, Mrs. Liu squinted her eyes happily when she saw that a large family was so studious.

This is the sign of a prosperous family and the appearance of a prosperous family.

In private, Zhao Xiaolan told Liu Zhijiang that Erlang was skillful and wanted Erlang to learn the carpenter's craft, and Liu Zhijiang also thought it was good.

Zhao Xiaolan called Liu Erlang over and asked: "Erlang, I saw you use bamboo to make a pen holder for Shiro and Golang, and they made a pen holder, which was polished very smoothly, and there were carved flowers on it, which is very beautiful." Who did you learn this from? ”

Liu Erlang's personality is more introverted, but his personality is very gentle, "In the past, when our family was building a house, I followed my grandfather to order furniture from Carpenter Wang in the next village. I watched there for a morning, and I thought the carpenter's work was interesting, so I learned a little bit about it. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Xiaolan and Liu Zhijiang looked at each other, and then saw surprise from each other's eyes.

"Erlang, do you like to do carpenter's work?" Liu Zhijiang asked, "Do you want to be a carpenter?" ”

Hearing this, Liu Erlang's eyes lit up, "Dad, can I go and learn carpenter's work?" ”

Liu Yiyi sat beside the second brother, then patted the second brother's shoulder and said, "Second brother, you have a pair of skillful hands, and you can learn everything quickly." If you like to be a carpenter, we've got your back! ”

When Zhao Xiaolan heard this, she pinched Liu Yiyi's little face, "You, you are everywhere!" ”

"Am I wrong? If the second brother likes to do carpentry work and learns quickly, why not let him learn it? There is a skill, and you can eat everywhere! Liu Yiyi retorted confidently, this is much better than coolies.

Liu Erlang was very moved when he heard his sister support her so much, and smiled at his sister, "Dad, mother, I want to learn carpenter's trade!" ”
