Li Changfeng's eyes lit up, this thing is good! In winter, Xu Qing and the children will not be afraid of the cold!
"Okay, let's do it!"
In order to build a house before the autumn harvest, Li Changfeng directly explained the reason to Uncle Xie, and then followed Uncle Xie to find some honest and capable men. Xu Qing and Li Changfeng both discussed it, twenty wen a day, only package Lunch is very reasonable.
As for cooking, Xu Qing didn't do it, and still asked Xie Ame and Wei Ai to make lunch. It was fifteen cents a day. The pigs and chickens at home built a temporary and sturdy shed next to the building. , As for Xu Qing and Li Changfeng, they were forced by Xie Amo to live in their house because the pregnant husband needed a quiet environment. Xu Qing lived in Xie Ge'er's room, and Li Changfeng lived in another vacant room.
Although Li Changfeng was reluctant to sleep in separate rooms with Xu Qing, but now there is no other way, he can only watch Xu Qing enter the door alone every night.
On the second day when Xu Qing and the others were about to build the house, Boss Li came to Xu's house with a load of things on his back, "This is what Ah Mei asked me to bring here. Second brother, if you have a body, you should take care of yourself. The second old man is looking forward to it, if there is no fact at home that can't leave, then I will not be here, the second child has a good life!" Li Changfeng smiled and nodded, and after thanking Xu Qing, he left Boss Li to eat again. After a meal, let him leave.
Xu Qing looked at the food on the back and sighed, "Ah, it's okay for Father to do this." Li Changfeng stepped forward and hugged Xu Qing gently.
Almost all the people in the village knew about such a big move in the construction of the house in Houshan, and there were more words in their mouths. Some were sour, some admired, and some were irrelevant. Zeng Amei was a typical sour. He thought that Li Changfeng was harmonious The reason why Xu Qing was able to repair the house so quickly was because Li Changfeng did woodwork and robbed his family of business, or else in a few years, he wouldn't have the money to build a large tile-roofed house!
So he went to this house to chat when he had nothing to do in the past few days, and the other house was swaying. He said that Xu Qing and the others were repairing the house. This is not good, that is not good, all kinds of bad things have come. After a few words of gossip, some words even reached Xu Qing and Li Changfeng's ears, but they were too busy, so they didn't care too much.
The most fearful thing about building a house in summer is that someone will suffer from heat stroke, so what Xu Qing does every day is to make mung bean soup in the morning with Xie Amo and the others. The men who were sweating profusely sent it. This cool and sweet mung bean soup was very popular. After a few days, the purchased mung beans were gone. I see, your family can buy a donkey cart!"
Li Changfeng was stunned for a moment, then slapped his head! you do not say! Now that Xu Qing is pregnant again, he is busy with his new house every day. Shopping for vegetables and groceries in this family is troublesome for others. It would be better to buy a donkey cart, even during the autumn harvest.
So after Li Changfeng and Xu Qing negotiated, Li Changfeng went out early the next morning, and when he had breakfast, Li Changfeng came back with a donkey cart. It took five taels of silver to complete all the relevant procedures and buy it back.
Xu Qing asked Li Changfeng to wash his hands and eat, and looked at the donkey himself. Seeing that it was in good spirits, with a dull head, he named it: "Daodao." When I went to pour water for it, I added some spiritual springs in it.
Danny leaned over and smelled the water, his whole body twisted with excitement, but instead of drinking water directly, he rubbed his head gently on Xu Qing's body before burying his head and drinking water. , Xu Qing was stunned for a while, then smiled and patted Duo's head.
Seeing this scene, Xie Amo said with a smile, "I don't see that you are quite attracted to him." Xu Qing patted Duan's head. He didn't like him, he clearly liked the breath brought by Lingquan. with benefits.
There are many people, and Xu Qing and the others have meat for lunch. Even the unfinished dishes are distributed to the men with heavy burdens at home to bring back to eat, and everyone else knows the situation of the other party, and they are all kind and heartless. I’m not feeling well, there’s food, and occasionally meat and wine. Everyone is full of energy and energy. In just over a month, the house was built.
There are four large green tile houses in total. The middle is the main room. The left side of the main room is a bedroom. This is for children. There are two rooms on the right. Warehouse, there is a compartment in the warehouse, one side is filled with grain, and a cellar is dug under this side to store other things later. On the other side of the compartment, a desk is prepared to be used when the children grow up and study. Four large tiled houses facing the gate.
There is a kitchen built next to the well. There is a path behind the kitchen. A few steps away are the pigsty, the chicken barn and the donkey pen. The top of the aisle is connected to the kitchen and the place where the livestock live with bamboo. Even if it rains, it will not affect feeding the piglets at all.
From the opposite side of the dining table in the kitchen, a door is opened, and there is also a compartment divided into two parts. The front is for putting some sundries or rice to eat, and the back is also the bathroom, while the kitchen and The bathing room is connected to the child's room. As for the large room next to the warehouse, there is a firewood room, which is very large and can be used for firewood or wood dolls.
A small plot was built in the backyard to grow side vegetables in the future. The pepper tree was also moved to the side. A pear tree and a jujube tree were also planted behind the firewood house. A stone table was placed next to the corner of the wall. Small stones were placed in the aisles from the door to the main room and the kitchen. They were pressed against the ground. They were non-slip and good-looking. Xu Qing and Li Changfeng waited for a few days. After planting odor-removing weeds, Li Changfeng's newly-made furniture was moved into the room piece by piece.
Xu Qing looked at the brand new home and felt his stomach that had changed a little. He was very satisfied. No one else was involved when making the heated kang, but Li Changfeng and Uncle Xie were busy. Except for the heated kang, Xu Qing was still there. The main room has a fireplace.
After listening to Xu Qing talking about the benefits of a heated kang and a fireplace, Uncle Xie directly pulled Li Changfeng and built a heated kang at Xie's house. As for the fireplace, they didn't make it.
In the evening, Xu Qing personally cooked and made a stir-fried kidney flower, double-cooked pork, egg custard, and big bone soup. This was the first meal for the two of them when they moved into their new home. According to local customs, the first meal when they moved into the new home, If there is no banquet, set off a firecracker at the entrance of the courtyard, indicating that you will move into a new home, auspicious and stable.
After the discussion between the two, Xu Qing and the others decided not to set up a banquet. They were both building a house and holding a banquet. Eighty-eight, it's not certain how long it will take to sort things out afterwards.
So when the villagers heard the sound of firecrackers coming from the back mountain, Zeng Amei dressed up and went out, "How? !" Zeng A-mo was very proud. Back then, they were people who had built houses and invited banquets, and they had earned a lot of face in front of the villagers.
A skinny Ame pouted, "If I say that such a beautiful house is finished, I should save some money, otherwise it won't be enough for future expenses!" These two young people in Houshan have no old people in their families, so they are not sensible. The two still insist on building such a big house, but it's not that there is nowhere to spend the money!
Zeng Amo doesn't care what others think, anyway, he is very comfortable now. Even if he sees Xu Qing and Li Changfeng again, he will no longer be depressed. After Xu Qing and the others finished their meal, they began to clear their accounts.
"We spent 15 taels to repair the house plus the workers' wages, and 3 taels for grocery shopping, new quilts, new bed covers, new pillows, and our new clothes, which cost a total of 5 taels. Silver, buying a donkey cart is 5 taels, so we spent 28 taels in total." Xu Qing counted the money for this month, "We have a total of 165 taels, and we spent 28 taels. , we still have one hundred and thirty-seven taels of silver left."
In this way, they are still very rich! Xu Qing was very satisfied, "We are now people who have a car and a house." Li Changfeng was a little confused, "What is a car and a house?" Xu Qing stretched out his hand and touched Li Changfeng's chin teasingly, "It's just a house to live in. , with a donkey carriage!"
Li Changfeng allowed Xu Qing to misbehave on his face. Hearing this, he nodded in a teachable manner, "You still forgot the same thing."
"What?" Xu Qing didn't know what he had forgotten no matter how he thought about it.
Li Changfeng looked at Xu Qing's stomach tenderly, "You forgot, we still have children." Xu Qing touched his nose, but he really forgot that in the past month or so, his body has completely recovered, and eating is eating Everything feels fragrant, and there is no discomfort at all.
"Let's go back to the old yard of the Li family tomorrow." Xu Qing thought about how the old yard of the Li family had delivered things several times during the period when they were repairing the house. Go back for a trip, otherwise you will feel sorry for it.
Li Changfeng packed up the tableware and chopsticks, "Listen to you." Anyway, Xu Qing said what to do, he did what he did. This time he really accepted the love of the old house, and he had to go back no matter what, but Li Changfeng thought about Boss Li in private. What he said to him, he frowned again, the peaceful days in this old courtyard are about to come to an end.
The next day, after Xu Qing and Li Changfeng had breakfast, they drove blankly, packed the gifts and headed to the auspicious village rack. On the way, they happened to meet Uncle Li, said hello, and after a brief chat, they went on to the old yard of the Li family.
Li Xiaogeer was just picking up some dishes when he heard a knock on the courtyard door. He frowned, afraid that the matchmaker would come again. These days, the most visited people in their house are the terrible matchmakers. !
