17 Chapter 17
On this day, Wang's went up early in the morning, and Li Xiaohan was planning what to eat today: there was only fried camellia with lard residue today, but if the amount was enough, the people who built the house should also be very satisfied.
However, good food can soothe life, why should you be lazy in eating this aspect?
It happened to rain yesterday, if it was sunny today, the fungus in the ground should grow well, so pick some fungus back, tender and smooth, it is also a good dish.
Thinking like this, Li Xiaohan lifted the bamboo basket and shouted to Li Xiandong, who was busy in the house, "Dad, I'll go to the field to pick some wild vegetables." ”
"Hey." Li Xiandong didn't raise his head to answer, and now he is very relieved of his daughter.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Xiaohan walked out of the mansion, he saw the Wang family rushing back in a hurry.
Li Xiaohan frowned, afraid that something would happen, so he hurriedly greeted him: "Mother, what's wrong?" What are you doing in a hurry? ”
"Xiao Han! Xiao Han! Wang was out of breath, then looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "That Sanqi, that Sanqi seems to be a seedling." ”
"Really, take me to see it." Li Xiaohan collapsed the basket, took Wang's hand and strode forward.
After a while, the two came to Li Xiandong's woodland.
Yesterday's rain made the withered grass under the tree still moist, and it may be this rain, under the withered grass, a trace of small seedlings trembling and growing, tender and thin. It makes people look happy.
Li Xiaohan carefully pulled away a little dry grass to see how it grew underneath, "Mother, yes, this is Sanqi Miao." ”
"Right? Right! The smile on Wang's face unfolded little by little, "There are still here, and there are also under the tree over there." ”
Li Xiaohan checked it carefully, "Well, it looks very good." Mother, take care of it, during this time, water more. After three years, we will be rich. ”
"Hey." Wang nodded loudly, thinking of the price at which Panax notoginseng was sold at that time, he simply raised these notoginseng seedlings as treasures in his heart.
Because of the germination of notoginseng seedlings, Li Xiaohan was in a better mood, and when he boiled the fungus, he slipped two eggs into it. Fragrant and tender!
In the evening, after dinner, Li Xiandong looked at Li Xiaohan who was smiling and cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and asked Wang's in wonder: "What's wrong today?" Why are you and Xiao Han so happy? ”
Wang Shi held a bundle of firewood, turned his head to take a closer look when he heard the words, and made sure that there was no one around, Fang smiled in a low voice and said, "It's hard to tell you how many people there are before." The three notoginseng seedlings have emerged. ”
"Really?" Li Xiandong's already small eyes were even bigger at the moment, and his dark face was simply glowing.
"It's true." Wang smiled and nodded, "I took Xiao Han to see it in the morning." ”
After being affirmed, Li Xiandong was so happy that he kept rubbing his hands and turned around a few times in place, "I have to go and see." I'll have to check it out to be at ease. ”
"But, now that you're building a house, you can't leave. What should you do when you're gone, and others ask? ”
Li Xiandong was asked for a while, and he couldn't think of a good way, so he gritted his teeth and said after a while; "I'll go back when it rains next time and I can't build a house."
"Okay."
Li Xiaohan can naturally understand her father's anxiety, but she can only help her father pray for early rain, fortunately, God still hurts people, and after a few days there was another torrential rain, Li Xiandong finally saw the Sanqi Miao that he was missing.
The days passed quickly, and the three notoginseng continued to emerge one after another, and I saw that it grew fast, growing taller and taller a little, and slowly growing one, two, and three small leaves.
And everyone in the village also saw Li Xiandong's entire house, Li Xiandong's family digging the foundation, seeing Li Xiandong's house walled, and Li Xiandong's house laying bricks and tiles......
Unconsciously, more than half a month has passed, and Li Xiandong's house has been built.
Li Xiaohan looked at this new house, with blue bricks and gray tiles, a courtyard in the middle, the gate facing the hall house, four main houses and four wings, very spacious and bright.
Of course, it is not comparable to those high-rise single-family villas in the previous life, there is no home appliance decoration, and now it is almost a semi-rough house, but Li Xiaohan just likes it more and more when he looks at it, and the more he looks at it, the more he feels at ease.
"Daddy, look at our new house. No one can take us away anymore. ”
Sure enough, Li Xiandong and Wang's faces were also full of joy and longing.
A new house seems to be more than just a house, but a new life to begin.
Even if most of the money was spent on building this house, it will still need money in the future because of the need to add various things.
But they no longer have that constant restlessness, nor do they have the hopeless panic of the past.
Li Xiandong believes that he will live a good life with his own hands.
It is rare for Li Xiandong to say with confidence, "Dad will take you to a good life." ”
"Well, Dad, you will."
Li Xiaohan nodded and said.
She doesn't want to sleep on a straw kang, she doesn't want to build a bed quilt for more than ten years, she doesn't want to sleep in an empty room, she wants to live in a comfortable new house, she wants to build a new quilt, she wants to wear new clothes, she wants to have a suitcase, a desk, a stool...... The rough house is built, and it is ready for decoration.
"Dad, last time I said I liked the fragrance of this fake silkworm tree, and asked you to find this kind of tree in the field to make bed boards, you haven't forgotten."
"Remember. You said let me look in the wilderness, and the bigger the better, right? Remember, your mother has already found it, but it's a little farther away. The day after tomorrow, I entrusted your brother, Brother Deyou, as well as family gold, family silver, letter and a few nephews, cut down the tree, and transported it home. The twigs that happened to be cut down could be used as firewood for two days. ”
People generally like fir trees and pine trees, and their daughters like the taste of this fake silkworm tree, which is also special enough.
Probably with her own grandmother statue.
However, what tree is not a tree, this is a little fragrant and smells good.
With a little effort, that's nothing.
But before that, there is one more thing to do, Li Xiandong thought secretly in his heart.
After the house is built, it is natural to prepare for the new house to set up a banquet.
First went to the old man who sold fish and booked the fish, and the old man rarely had a big business, so he naturally had nothing to do.
After ordering the fish, Li Xiaohan took the Wang family to the meat seller to book thirteen catties of pork belly, ten catties of plate oil, and ten catties of big bones.
The meat seller only kills one pig a day, so naturally there are not so many pork belly and oil bones. But he knows people in this industry, so he will naturally help make it up.
It's just that the meat seller still asks with hope, "Or cut it all?" ”
"Well, cut it." Li Xiaohan nodded without hesitation.
The meat seller nodded, "Okay." ”
That's a ten-pound bone, and his pig-killing knife has to be injured again.
That's a lot of money!
Li Xiaohan has gradually tasted it recently, and the steelmaking technology in this era is still not enough, and the knife is not hard enough.
"Do you want to use a boning knife?"
Li Xiaohan remembered that there were several pork knives in the vegetable market, such as meat knives, boning knives, and boning knives.
Perhaps, professional things should be done professionally?
The big man was embarrassed, how to fight this knife? Such a knife is not cheap, right?
Li Xiaohan saw this look, and then proposed, "No, you get on the axe?" ”
I watched some short videos in my previous life, in the ice and snow, a sturdy man picked up an axe to chop frozen bones, and the sense of power and the strong male breath came to him through the screen.
Sure enough, the big man's eyes lit up, the axe was strong enough, and there was no need to spend anything else at home.
"Yes. I'll take care of it for you. ”
After solving the most important fish and meat, Li Xiaohan let go of half of his heart, as well as the tofu, dried goods, salt, sugar, sauce, and vinegar, all of which had to be prepared one by one.
Li Xiaohan and Wang prepared the meal, and Li Xiandong informed the people.
Moving into a new house is a big deal, and it is respectful to have to come to inform people, especially those who are highly respected in the clan. Li Xiandong has been busy with this matter for the past few days, but he can't miss it, otherwise he will offend people.
I also have to go to the clan to open a warehouse, borrow tables, stools, plates and bowls, and make an appointment with my friends to carry these big guys out.
……
The family was busy with joy, just to welcome the arrival of that day.
