"Brother Qing, if we also build a new house, will it be built on our original land?" Luo Fei didn't dare to think about building a house after he bought the shop, but now it's fairly stable every day income, he began to dare to think again. In fact, he and Xi Yanqing are used to living in the current house, but if they have a child, they still want to give him a better living environment.
"Let's see. If we can save enough money in the spring, we'll get another piece of homestead. Or we can go to Luo Yong, Jing Rong and the others as neighbors. Jing Rong should be next to the newly bought house. Then build a house to make it easier for him to manage the flock. If so, we will continue to extend southward, and it will be close to Chen Huazhang's house. Then you can live closer to Han Xu. I go out to work, and you have one too. Talking buddy."
"It sounds good, but it's really hard work." Luo Fei felt that if it was possible, it would be good for everyone to build a house together. Lest Luo Yong and Jing Rong finish building this year, and then change them to build next year, this year's building is just a play. He likes to get things done together.
"I hope this batch of ice cream can sell well in the county." Xi Yanqing unmolded the ice cream one by one and put it away - thanks to the cold weather now, the liquid ice cream can be completely frozen in less than an hour. Otherwise, with the current number of these molds, it may not be enough to make 500 a day.
"Do you want Chen Huazhang to make more ice cream boards and molds?" Because the ice cream boards were not enough, they could only be stacked in two layers, which didn't look neat enough.
"I don't need it for now. Let's wait for this batch to arrive in the county to see the situation. If it sells quickly, we will find Chen Huazhang in time." At the beginning, Chen Huazhang didn't charge any money for making those ice cream molds, but the latter ones have to be given. , after all, people's time is also very precious, and it is not easy to do these things.
"God bless!" Luo Fei used a pen and a piece of paper. After counting, he carefully registered, and then went into the house and started to make the quilt. This is what Xi Yanqing said. He really didn't expect that Luo Yong and Jing Rong came to settle here. Jing Rong has now bought a house, and it is estimated that the quilt has not yet been covered. Now they don't have anything special to give away, so they just said to get two quilts for each of the brothers.
Because there was no need to embroider anything, Luo Fei did it quite quickly. The main thing is that he makes a quilt cover, and he asked his mother to help him to make cotton. He has not been very good at making that thing up to now.
After Xiyanqing finished making the ice cream, he shouted outside, "Daughter-in-law, I'll go to Jingrong's place to make a fire, and I'll be back in a while."
Luo Fei hurriedly shouted: "Wait for me! I want to see it too!"
It's snowing outside, and the road is slippery. It's not easy for him to go too far when he wants to go out. He's afraid of falling, so Xi Yanqing just went out and he followed! The sun is so good today!
Xi Yanqing waited for Luo Fei for a while, and the young couple went together. Xi Yanqing also wanted Luo Fei to see that place.
To talk about this place, every time I go there, I have to pass by Qin Guizhi's house. He had seen Qin Guizhi several times at Xi Yanqing before, but he didn't make a sound of it, thinking that Qin Guizhi would find out sooner or later. But he didn't expect that "sooner or later" would be today.
After Qin Guizhi sold the house, his mouth was full of bubbles and he got angry. Can you get on fire? It turned out that she wanted to walk sideways in the village, and she was the richest in her family. Now no one who sees her is looking at her. She always felt that the group was laughing at her behind her back.
It's cold recently, and because she can't stand the gazes of people outside talking about her, Qin Guizhi doesn't go out much at all. But today is different. It suddenly occurred to her that the sauce she made was still sitting in that house. She made the sauce before she entered the twelfth lunar month, thinking about putting the sauce in the spring of the next year. It could have been kept at home, but her son said that it would be delicious to keep it at home, so she put it in her parents' house. When I sold the house, I tried to pay back the wages of the reckless men, but I forgot about it.
After Qin Guizhi sold the house, she never went there again, but she once saw smoke from the chimney on the house, so she assumed that Jing Rong had already lived in it. Who would have thought that when the door was opened—forgive her for not being used to this being someone else’s home—what she saw when she opened the door was Luo Fei!
"You, you little vixen! What are you doing here?!" Qin Guizhi saw Luo Fei like a cannonball.
"Can you manage where I want to be?" Luo Fei didn't want to have a conflict with Qin Guizhi, so he went into the room. He is afraid of Qin Guizhi now, can't he
"Stop for me!" Qin Guizhi went up and grabbed Luo Fei, "You are not allowed to enter this room!"
"Ah!" Luo Fei was caught and staggered abruptly, holding his waist, "Hmm..."
"Daughter-in-law!" Xi Yanqing, who heard the sound, quickly supported Luo Fei, "Qin Guizhi, are you crazy?!" He hurriedly took Luo Fei into his arms: "How is it?"
"Back pain..."
"Who, who made you stay here?! This is not your home!" Qin Guizhi saw Luo Fei's face turning pale, and a sense of revenge suddenly rose in his heart, "Hurry up and get out of here!"
"This is the house that my brother bought. If you want to get out, it's you who get out! If you don't leave, I will report to the official! I'll sue you for trespassing in the house!" Xi Yanqing picked up Luo Fei and put him in the house. Ping Liao, "Don't be afraid, daughter-in-law, everything will be fine."
"I was just startled, my waist seems to be twisted a little..." Luo Fei kept holding on to his waist, "This crazy woman, shit, it's really not good to see her."
"Okay, Xi Yanqing!" Qin Guizhi finally realized what Xi Yanqing said, "How dare you ask your brother to cheat on me?! I curse you to cut off your children! I curse your children to lose their arms and legs! Bah! I see what kind of fun Luo Fei can produce!"
"Crash!" Xi Yanqing poured out a basin of water.
"Ah!" Qin Guizhi screamed, hiding but not able to escape all the water, while Xi Yanqing went to bring out a basin of water without thinking.
"Are you going? If you don't go, I'll throw you believe it or not?"
"You, you, you, you, bring my sauce and the sauce!" Qin Guizhi saw Xi Yanqing's eyes, but he didn't dare to scold him any more. But she still misses her sauce.
Xiyan smelled the smell early in the morning, and really knew where this thing was, and when she heard the words, she threw it all out: "Take it and get out, my temper is not as good as my second treasure, if you dare to say something ugly in the future , don't blame me for turning back on your Zhang Yangfan."
Qin Guizhi shivered fiercely, gritted his teeth, picked up the sauce, and left. Why did she forget, this is someone who has fought and killed people on the battlefield!
Xi Yanqing didn't know how terrifying his eyes were at that time, but Qin Guizhi saw it, and she didn't want to see it again in her life!
Luo Fei lay warmly on the kang for a while, and slowly recovered. But thinking about the twist before, I still feel a little scared.
Xi Yanqing was worried about him, so he still carried Luo Fei to Dr. Liang to have a look. After hearing from Dr. Liang that there was nothing to do, he put his heart down. And for the next three days, Luo Fei was not allowed to go to the toilet after the banquet was cleared. At most, you can sit on the kang and keep an account, and the last one left is quilted.
Luo Fei didn't dare to be too tossed, and actually raised it on the kang for three days. On the fourth day, he heard the sound of flocks of sheep outside suddenly.
"Bah~~~"
"Brother Qing, are Jingrong and Luo Yong here?" Luo Fei asked in the room. Xi Yanqing brought ice cream outside.
"It's Jing Rong." Xi Yanqing said and went to open the door, "Good guy, so many?!" Forty or fifty sheep, being driven into the yard with a hula, was quite spectacular.
"That's still too much? It's not even one-tenth of the Jing's ranch." Jing Rong said, "But it's okay. It's been a good journey, and I've come here safely. I was worried when I went out earlier. come."
"I'm going to get them some water, you can rest for a while. By the way, what about Luo Yong?" Xi Yanqing didn't see Luo Yong.
"I went to Brother Qi's mother's house. You said she was looking at the third girl? I was in town and was in a hurry to find a place to rest. He had to buy some food. No, he went straight to Brother Qi's mother's house when he came back." Jing Rong Also convinced. He had never liked a person so much, so he really couldn't understand that one day apart, like every three autumns.
"Forget it. Then come in first. It just so happened that Brother Qi and I haven't had dinner yet. Let's make more delicious food later. Our brother will be lively and lively for a few nights."
"Hey!" After Jing Rong came in, he looked at Luo Fei, "I haven't seen you for a few days, Brother Qi, you have made another circle."
"Just say I'm fat!" Luo Fei could see it himself, but he recognized it. No way, eat more, exercise less, it is strange not to be fat. But it's impossible for him to stop eating and exercising because he is fat
"It's better to be fat, my nephew can grow stronger by being fat." Jing Rong said and took out a small thing and handed it to Luo Fei, "Brother Qi, this is the small silver lock I bought in Huangtan Town. , you take it away and send it to my eldest nephew when he is born."
"It's so delicate." Luo Fei took it and glanced at it, "But it's too expensive, right?" Silver! This is pure silver! This is a big deal in the country!
"It doesn't cost money, and it's not for outsiders. If I take Brother Xi and Luo Yong as my own brothers, then your child is naturally my nephew. What is the expense of sending some small items to my nephew?" Jing Rong said, "You Say yes, Brother Xi?"
"Yeah. You're welcome." Xi Yanqing pointed at Jingrong and said to Luo Fei, "Daughter-in-law, let's get some bacon to eat at night? Then boil a cabbage and potatoes, would you say?"
"Okay, I'll do it." Luo Fei said, "Brother Qing, bring in the firewood and fill me with water. Let me show you a hand today!"
"Then it's hard for you." Xi Yanqing smiled, "Your brother Qi also made two quilts for you and Luo Yong alone." He said to Jing Rong, "When Luo Yong came last time, I didn't bring a quilt. Seeing that you don’t have one, I’ll just do it first, so that you don’t have to cover it when you come.” Although the kang is warm, it is impossible to live without a quilt.
"Thank you two brothers." Jing Rong was a little surprised, "I really didn't expect this." Can he say that he and Luo Yong spent these days in Huangtan Town just wearing some clothes? ! His clothes were torn, and they were repaired by himself, let alone making quilts. No one in the family thought about it for him at all. Sure enough, those who have married a daughter-in-law should be more careful...
Jing Rong was a little ecstatic, until Luo Yong came back, he recovered from some thoughts.
Luo Yong had a smile on his lips, and he saw Luo Ru.
Luo Fei was surprised, his mother can let Luo Yong see Luo Ru? It's not that Luo Ru came out on her own...
"Luo Yong, you said, how did you see it?" Luo Fei was curious. His mother definitely couldn't let Luo Ru see Luo Yong alone.
"Hey, I was at the door the whole time and didn't call anyone. I left things at the door when the third girl came out. I even said a few words to her by the way." Luo Yong said, "Am I smart?!"
"Pfft! Smart." Luo Fei laughed so much that he almost spit out the porridge, "Why don't you just wait for her to go out and marry her?"
"I think, but don't you have to take into account the reputation of the third girl?" Luo Yong, a big boy with red ears, "Brother Xi, Brother Qi, I've thought about it, I'm going to find a matchmaker to go to Luo's house to propose marriage."
"Aren't you afraid that my Sanbao will get angry?" Luo Fei asked.
"Don't be afraid! It's a big deal, I'll marry her and go home and coax her!" Luo Yong looked determined, "I'll have to find a good matchmaker later!"
"Don't look for someone with the surname Wang, everything else should be fine." Xi Yanqing said, "If there is anything you don't understand, you can come and ask me." He himself had no one to help at the time, so he In a hurry to ask and rush to arrange, now I have a good understanding of the process of getting married.
"That's a good deal." Luo Yong said, "I'll go to Jing Rong to tidy up his newly bought place tomorrow, and then I'll go to the matchmaker."
"It's all done for you. When you go back and burn the kang, you will be able to live in." Xi Yanqing said, "I took some straw and put it in the yard, it is estimated that it will last for three days. Chai. Brother Qi and I have not planted a lot of land this year, nor a lot of straw." The main reason is that I used some when repairing the roof.
"It's done. Then we'll go back and collect firewood." Luo Yong dried the porridge like a bowl of wine, as if he was willing to go out of his way.
A few people chatted about raising sheep and selling ice cream for a while, and then Luo Fei brought them a quilt, and the two young men drove the sheep back. It was carried by Luo Yong alone, and the sheep were driven by Jing Rong. After the two went back, they saw that the house had been cleaned up very neatly.
Unexpectedly, sleeping in an old room of a new house can be warmer than that in Huangtan Town. Originally, Luo Yong and Jing Rong had a very good impression of Xi Yanqing and Luo Fei, but now they are even better.
Suddenly I understand why they say that the elder brother is like a father and the elder sister-in-law is like a mother.
One of them had a father and mother who left early, and the other had a father and mother, but they couldn't take care of them. Now Xi Yanqing and Luo Fei are treating them so well, even though they are not very old, even Luo Fei is the youngest , but they were really admired and moved.
When he thought of coming, Luo Fei also brought them steamed buns and let them eat it hot the next morning, Jing Rong's eyes were a little red.
&&& &&&
The next day, it was a sunny day again. Xi Yanqing started to collect ice cream just after he was busy at home, and Jing Rong and Luo Yong rushed over again early. Luo Yong wanted to ask more carefully what to prepare for a matchmaker, and if there was anything to pay attention to, while Jing Rong wanted to ask Xi Yanqing and Luo Fei where they could buy pasture.
The hay he brought over was running out, and at most he could feed the sheep for another five or six days. Originally, the Rong family had better, but his stepmother didn't let him take it.
But the sheep must be well fed, so he must hurry to buy some hay. Generally speaking, the family will prepare some health care mouths, and some people specialize in selling pasture. After all, some people in the town still keep horses. There are also those who raise milk sheep separately, and they all have to be fed grass. During this time, I can only buy and feed them first, and I can say when the spring begins.
Xi Yanqing said: "Jingrong, go to Han Yang. His second uncle knows a lot of livestock farmers, and he must know where to buy pasture. I'll have to go to town after I finish here, so I won't take you there. But don't worry, Han Yang will definitely be able to help you."
Jing Rong went to find Han Yang.
Xi Yanqing asked Luo Ji to set up an ox cart, sent the ice cream to the town, and then went to Shifu: "Brother Li, are things going well in the county?"
Li Siyuan said with a smile: "Very good. It's almost New Year's Eve, and many people are stocking up on New Year's goods, so after I tasted it, I thought it was good, and I bought ten or eight. He asked someone to come over and let me follow you Order more. I reckon it should be able to sell more in the period around the year."
This was similar to what Xi Yanqing expected, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief: "Then I will do more after I go back."
Li Siyuan said: "Okay, let's settle this matter first, you can talk to Brother Shi about the tooth powder. He said in the morning that he was going to find you. , it's rare to be excited."
"Brother Xi, come with me to see if what my friend sent is what you said." Shi Shi took Xiyan to the study, and there were several pieces of ores on the table in the study, as well as some purified ones. White crystals, "I tried putting this in water as you said earlier, and it really made the water freeze."
"That's right, this is it." Xi Yanqing said after reading it carefully, "But the ice made from this thing cannot be eaten directly, so it must be frozen in water."
"That's not a big deal, as long as it's this thing, it'll be easy to handle." Shi Shi has been playing around in his study all morning, like a child who got a new toy, it's rare for him to think about one thing Fresh.
"Is this tooth powder easy to get? It can be used repeatedly, but if we really want to sell ice in summer, we must get more."
"Let me do this. Now you can think about whether there are more styles of ice cream. Because if we want to make ice and sell it, we must first get a few large ice cellars, and the preliminary preparations will take a long time. So during this time We still focus on selling ice cream. Although there are not many ice creams on sale right now, as long as we can make ice cream in the summer, one day we can sell it all over the country, so the income is not cheap.”
"Okay, leave this to me. I don't need to worry about the tooth powder. Go back to Big Brother Shi, you can get more. This thing is not too much." Don't forget that it can also be used to make gunpowder.
"Alright. By the way, I still have something for you." Shi Shi took a small box from the drawer, with two pills in it, "I got some more for Siyuan, you keep it. This is for calming the mind and raising the fetus, and it can be eaten by Luo Fei."
"Can you just eat it directly?"
"Yeah, the tire fixation effect is excellent."
"Thank you, Big Brother Shi." Xi Yanqing took the medicine pill, and chatted with Shi Shi about some ideas for making ice, and then went back. But thinking about it, something seems wrong. Why did Shi Shi give Li Siyuan the medicine for stabilizing the fetus? Xiao Changle is so big...
"Brother Shi, for my brother's slow reaction, I just remembered now. Did you mean that Brother Li is also pregnant?"
"Yeah." Shi Shi looked at Li Siyuan's direction with a gentle smile, "Chang Le is going to have a younger brother or a younger sister."
"Congratulations, congratulations!" Xi Yanqing was also happy for Shi Shi, and went back after chatting with the two for a long time.
This day, I was in a hurry on the road, and my mind was full of things, and Xi Yanqing was also very tired. The main thing is that the snow is thick and the road is too difficult to walk. But thinking about making more and more money, he is quite happy.
After deducting the money made this time and buying the materials and leaving the rest to Luo Fei, Xi Yanqing thought of Shi Shi's words again, and said to Luo Fei, "Daughter-in-law, what else do you think we didn't expect? What? Brother Shi said it would be better if he could make more tricks. I saw the saltpeter he got today, and it would be no problem to make ice cream in summer. And I listened to him, he wanted to sell ice cream all the time, and even more Focus on selling."
Luo Fei was counting the money and putting it in the bag, when he heard the words, he didn't want to say: "Isn't there all the patterns? Isn't it time for the Spring Festival? Go back to the carpenter brother to make some engraved molds, Like the word 'Fu', the word 'Xi', and a set of auspicious and wishful things! Didn't the ancients like these? Besides, who doesn't want auspiciousness for festivals? One set! The first couplet, the second couplet, and another horizontal batch!"
Xi Yanqing thought about it, yes, why didn't he think of it
Luo Fei thought about making another batch of purses. He didn't go to town much after he had a child in his belly. I saw Boss Li once, and Boss Li also asked him why he didn't embroider. Many people went to the cloth shop for his craftsmanship, but they didn't buy anything.
It's a good idea to embroider a purse for the Chinese New Year.
Xi Yanqing went to Chen Huazhang and ordered a batch of new models for the occasion. At this time, Luo Yong also found a matchmaker. Luo Yong told the matchmaker that as long as this marriage can be done, he will definitely benefit from her!
The matchmaker Luo Yong was looking for was surnamed Qiao, who received good reviews from outside, and was particularly good at talking. It is said that there are not many matchmakers she can guarantee.
Now it's up to the three girls to agree!
Anyway, when he went to deliver the dates to the third girl that day, the third girl took it!
Luo Yong can't wait for the time to go "Hey!" at once, but the more this happens, the slower the time seems to pass.
No, the matchmaker has only been there for a day, and Luo Yong has already asked Luo Fei no less than ten times: "Brother Qi, hasn't the third girl replied yet?"
The matchmaker went to the Luo family for the reception ceremony. Luo Yong could only propose marriage with a gift after the Luo family had replied. The Luo family did not believe it, and he was in a hurry.
Luo Fei rolled his eyes and was too lazy to roll his eyes: "I didn't go out the door this day, how did I know? Don't worry, it will definitely succeed. If not tomorrow, I will go to my mother and Sanbao to help you tell it! It doesn't make sense. I'll abduct the three treasures for you, right? Wipe it, your ears will be cocooned by you!"
Luo Yong scratched his head: "Oh."
Luo Fei said: "Don't worry, since Sanbao has taken your things, she will definitely not take it for nothing. She is a person who loves and hates clearly, so you can just wait and get ready to marry your daughter-in-law."
Jing Rong smiled: "I think so too. If you are so anxious that you can't marry again, don't make Luo Yong any more troublesome."
Luo Yong: "Fuck you!"
Luo Fei supported his chin in one hand: "Jing Rong, what do you like? I'll tell you one later."
Hearing this, Jing Rong didn't know what to think, his smile faded, and after thinking for a while, he said, "It's from the beginning to the end."
