Chapter 11 Build the best house
When she returned home, Li Mu knew that her lady was careful, and before she could speak, he stuffed the silver ticket into her arms and told her that the fishing boat was broken, but the people lost money. This money can hire laborers to open up 500 acres of land to stabilize her.
Wan Niang was very happy, and went back to the house to hide it happily with the silver ticket in her arms. Two acres of land were exchanged for a ship, and now this ship has been exchanged for five hundred acres of land, which seems to have earned a lot.
Wan Niang's number will only be counted to twenty.
The bonfire party reopened, and Li Mu saw that the soldiers at the door looked at him pitifully, a little unbearable, and slaughtered another sheep to entertain them. After all, it has just darkened more than 1,000 taels of silver, and this sheep is only 3 taels.
These soldiers knew how powerful he was, and they didn't dare to sit back and wait for him to be completed like an uncle, so they didn't need to be commanded, and honestly helped slaughter sheep and light fires.
Li Mu saw that these guys were very conscious, so he didn't care about them, and started drinking with the villagers on his own, and the villagers heard that his family was going to build a new house, so they hurriedly expressed their willingness to come over to help, don't need to pay, just take care of the food. They knew that Li Mu's family had no coarse grains, and even if there was no meat, it would be good to be able to eat fine rice for a few days.
The meal was not finished until the second half of the night, Li Mu staggered into the house to sleep, and the villagers cleaned up the battlefield together, and they all went home after they were all cleaned up. As for the GIs......
The villagers didn't dare to go up and talk to them, in their eyes, these soldiers were all officials, and they could kill people with their mouths.
In the dead of night, all the soldiers collectively looked at Duan Bo again, expecting Ai Ai, a little resentful, a little dazed.
As soon as Li Mu lay down, he thought of a group of soldiers outside, and then thought about more than a thousand taels of silver, so he got up again, put on his clothes, and led the soldiers to his family's ancestral home.
Duan Bo arched his hand and said, "Thank you, strong man!"
Li Mu waved his hand irritably, he had a headache with those two seriously injured guys, let it be thrown away like this for a night, and the doctor would not be used tomorrow, so it would be easier to dig a pit and bury it directly.
Sighing, he lay the two soldiers flat on the kang, his hands pressed on their chests respectively, Da Luo's internal meridians operated, and the internal force continued to enter their bodies, wandering in their meridians, driving their own internal forces to run and repair the damaged meridians. This process lasted for two hours, and it was almost dawn when Li Mu finished his work. When he looked up, the soldiers were looking at him, he felt so tired, and said to them weakly: "Life is saved, take some supplements, and rest for a while." ”
After speaking, he ignored the GIs and thanked Dade, and hurried to go home to sleep.
This sleep was very sweet, and when he opened his eyes, it was already past noon, and Wan Niang was busy washing the dishes in the kitchen. Li Mu walked over and was startled: "Why are there so many bowls?"
Wan Niang had a smile on her face and said, "Uncle Dali and the villagers have just finished eating, and now they are going to help our family open up the wasteland and build a house." ”
Li Mu patted his head, almost forgetting about it. After a casual meal, I went to the west of the village, and the villagers were working hard in full swing. The GIs didn't leave, and they moved stones. They have internal strength, and their strength is much greater than that of ordinary villagers.
He hurriedly went up and grabbed Duan Bo and asked him what was going on. Duan Bo said: "Brother Li, thank you for saving the lives of my two brothers, I heard that your family is going to build a house, and the brothers have the strength to give you a hand." ”
Li Mu twitched the corners of his mouth, this wave looks like he is thirty years old, right?
Let's do it, as long as you don't make trouble.
Li Mu said a few nice words to the villagers who were working, it was nothing more than that there were two pigs and a sheep in the backyard of the house, he didn't plan to stay, he came to help him open up the wasteland and eat meat every day, and if it was completed ahead of schedule, everyone would divide the remaining meat equally and take it home. The prerequisite is that the quality of the project must be guaranteed.
The crowd cheered and worked harder. Only Duan Bo thoughtfully praised in his heart: There is a degree of control, and the general is handsome!
Li Mu went around to Erxi's house to find Wang Sun's to borrow a donkey cart, and Youyou Dada went to the county seat, found the owner of the boat workshop, and after bargaining, finally booked an absolute heavyweight fishing boat at a price of three hundred and fifty taels. After paying a deposit of 100 taels, he went to the grain store and bought back 500 catties of white rice and 500 catties of white flour at one time.
Walking all the way back, he secretly pondered: eat, eat, it's best to eat them all. It is easy to go from hard days to good days, but it is difficult to live from good days to hard days. He is ready to change the thinking of the villagers little by little and lead them to a well-off life.
Wandering slowly all the way, when he returned to the village, it was already nightfall, he first went to his new home in the west of the village to take a look, it was not bad, the ground had been cleared and completed, there were six or seven hundred square meters, it was really fast.
"Ah Mu, your friends are so powerful, that knife goes down, tsk, it's like a stone like mud!" Li Mu wiped his face and said to the village chief: "Let everyone call it a day, this project is not done in a day, don't be tired." ”
The village chief smiled sheepishly: "Let them do it, they all want to finish the pork as soon as possible!"
Li Mu touched his nose, "The pork will also enter their stomachs after drying it later, what are you anxious about?"
The village chief glanced at him and said, "What can a big man do if he eats meat or not, don't there be women and children in the family, and they all want to take them home to grow the children's bodies!"
Li Mu thought about it and said to the village chief: "Tell everyone, after finishing work at night, I will ask Brother Xizi to receive fine rice and pork, and the family will eat three catties of fine rice and one pound of pork a day, and you can eat as much as you want when you take it home." ”
The village chief patted him gratefully on the shoulder and turned to convey.
That night, Wan Niang's mother's house. The gray oil lamp was on, Wan Niang and his father Yang Gen sat on the kang, his legs hung down weakly, he broke his legs in his early years, and his legs hurt every time it rained on a cloudy day, and he had not been on the kang since it snowed last night. He smoked the cigarette pouch pot in silence, Yang Cai sat next to him and did not speak, and the two daughters-in-law glanced at each other and stabbed the Yang brothers who shrugged their heads. The two of them looked at their mother, Yang Caishi sighed, and said, "Think about what you have been talking about all these years: marrying into the Li family is not our Yang family." What you are doing leaves no way back, alas, the matter of the two acres of land, you are still waiting. ”
Yang Gen put the cigarette pouch and pot on the kang table, raised his eyebrows, and said, "If you have money, you won't recognize your relatives!"
Yang Zhanmin also said: "Yes, mother." You see that now the brother-in-law and Erxi are so close, in case the Wang Sun family of Erxi also has his eyes on the two acres of land, let Erxi go to his brother-in-law to rent, and he will rent it to Erxi's family!"
Yang Cai's forehead, she really didn't have the face to say it again. Yang Gen got down to the ground and put on his shoes, put on his clothes and said, "I'm going to find my son-in-law, I want to see if he still recognizes our family!"
Li Mujia.
Li Mu, Erxi, and the village chief sat on the kang and talked. Wan Niang, Wang Sun, Xiao Wang Sun and her mother-in-law were busy in the kitchen, and they were still one dish away from cooking.
Li Mu handed the sketch of the house to the village chief, who took two cigarette pouches and pots and asked: "If you don't have a kang at home, can you do it in winter?"
"Look here. Li Mu pointed to a 'hut' on the sketch and said: "This thing is called a fireplace, and when a fire is lit here in winter, the whole house is warm." ”
The village chief looked at the sketch for a while, and was secretly surprised: "Are you sure you want to build it like this?"
Li Mu nodded. At first, he was going to build a three-story villa, but considering the strength of the 'construction team', he was really afraid that the three-story building would collapse before it could be erected, so it was changed to a three-story courtyard. At first, he wanted to build a yard, and they lived just right as a young couple. Later, considering that the customs and customs here are focused on purchasing industries, it was simply changed to Sanjin, and the villages of the province always say that he ruined the ancestral property.
The village chief's face was a little ugly, and he said: "Li boy, it's not that Uncle hit you, you have to find someone from the county town to build such a house, and the price is not cheap." ”
Li Mu blinked his eyes and asked, "How much does it cost?"
The village chief pondered for a while and said, "Normally, it will be about one hundred and fifty taels to two hundred taels, and those who come to help in our village don't need to be paid, but also have to prepare about one hundred taels." ”
The village chief knew that Li Mu and Erxi had made some money from selling fish last time, but he was still worried that the money would not be enough.
Erxi thought for a while and said, "The fish catch money that Amu gave me last time is still there, and there are fifteen taels. ”
Li Mu didn't know what the two of them were worried about, he thought that the village chief said how much it would cost, but it turned out to be only one hundred taels, so he was immediately relieved, and said to the village chief: "Uncle Dali, you are in charge, you need to ask Wan Niang for silver, and the money at home must be enough." ”
As soon as Li Mu said this, the village chief was relieved, and nodded that there was no problem, and he would definitely help him set up the Sanjin courtyard.
The four women brought the food, and the adults and children sat at a large table, thanks to the large number of people cooking today, they made eight dishes and one soup, or it was really not enough to eat.
As soon as the table was served, there was a knock on the door. Wan Niang got up and went to open the door, the people in the house poured wine, and the rice was served, and Wan Niang outside the door shouted: "Dad!"
The village chief and Erxi set their eyes on Li Mu at the same time, and Li Mu also had a headache for Wanniang's mother's family, so he stood up and went to say hello.
Yang Gen walked into the room, he was still imposing, and when he saw a table of delicacies, he immediately felt that he was half shorter.
How much does this table cost!
He tightened his pocket's grip on a tael of silver, which he was going to rent for the land. Now it seems that I can't even buy this table of dishes.
Li Mu smiled and said, "Has my father-in-law eaten it, sit down and eat together." ”
Yang Gen grinned, squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said, "I won't bother you when you eat, I'll come back tomorrow." ”
Li Mu gave Wanniang a look, Wanniang was moved, and hurriedly added dishes and chopsticks, leaving Yang Gen to eat. Wan Niang knew that in front of the village chief, Li Mu didn't want to leave a reputation for being unfilial. Although I don't like it, it's just a matter of adding a pair of dishes and chopsticks.
Yang Gen held chopsticks, looking at the table full of meat and vegetables, and didn't know where to start. He was frightened by the discussion between his son-in-law and the village chief, but fortunately, his daughter was filial and kept pouring him wine and vegetables. Where does he still have the momentum of just entering the door now, and when the gap is too big, he only looks up.
