Chapter 51 Matchmaker
Seeing her eyes, Lu Jinnian asked, "Xiao Xin, are you happy to have a new house?"

"Of course!" Lu Jinxin replied happily: "I dream of having our own home! But as long as we are together, home is everywhere."

It is her expectation and the simplest wish for the family to be together in peace.

"Let's go back to eat." Lu Jinnian smiled, there will be plenty of time in the future, and everyone will be together.

But when they get married, maybe they won't see each other often.

But that's all for the future.

Everyone knows that the brothers and sisters of the Lu family settled down in Lijiazhuang, and the village also knows that the Lu family has a capable elder brother. Although he is thin and thin, he is surprisingly strong.

And the marriageable little girls in the village have been running around the Lu family recently. I heard that the eldest brother of the Lu family is very talented, so they all came to have a look.

After dawn, after everyone had eaten, they began to organize things around the house.

If there are any big stones or logs, they should be tidied up to avoid kicking and tripping.

Seeing that all the helpers had arrived, Lu Jinnian frantically started making the beams.

The wood for the beams of the house was also consulted by everyone, and I went to the mountain to cut it myself.

I cut back [-] pieces of wood in the morning, and if I don’t run out, I can keep it to make something or use it as firewood.

"I didn't see any of them yesterday. When did you cut them back?" Li Changhu was a little surprised. Not only were the twenty logs neatly chopped back, but they were all skinned.

After the wood is peeled, it will reduce the occurrence of fires. Of course, it is also divided into wood.

Lu Jinnian smiled and replied, "I went out to chop before dawn today, is it enough?"

It takes a little effort to cut down the tree, but it is very easy to carry it home, and it can be carried back in one trip.

Except for her strength, no one else can resist so much wood.

Li Changhu opened his mouth and didn't say a word, he said after a while: "It's enough, these are enough. But you're pretty fast, and you're really quick at work."

Faced with such compliments, Lu Jinnian waved his hands, "I just want to live at home as soon as possible. Look at that shack, it's full of bugs and mice, I've had enough."

There are a lot of mice in the wild, and they are children, so they especially recruit mice, and this thing depends on the person.

Everyone worked intensively, and the beam was ready in more than an hour. With a large number of people and strong strength, the beam began to be erected in the afternoon.

Several girls watching outside pointed at her with curious expressions on their faces.

It's not that Lu Jinnian didn't see it, but chose to ignore it.

I'm really sorry, she can't marry a daughter-in-law!

If it wasn't for the inconvenience of being a woman, she wouldn't want to disguise herself as a man.

But besides some girls, there are also some boys who came to watch the excitement.

Seeing that Lu Jinnian was thin and small, everyone had a look of contempt.

Country people just want to look strong and strong, otherwise how can they support their families?

As for her strength, these people selectively ignored it.

That afternoon, the beams were hung up, and Lu Jinnian purposely hung up some copper coins. This was what others said, and she didn't know what effect it had.

After the beams are put up, the roof is sealed, and a thick layer of old bark is used on the beams, which are non-flammable, which can prevent rainwater from entering the house.

The bark is not easy to find. Apart from working every day, Lu Jinnian has to go out to collect bark. She has been collecting this waterproof bark for more than half a month.

As for the sloping roof, everyone is paved with thatch, with wooden boards under the thatch.

When it was dark, today's work was over.

From the outside, the house seems to be in shape.

In addition to the windows are not done well, it's pretty nice.

After all, he himself participated in building the house. Lu Jinnian had a special feeling, but he couldn't tell what it was.

The facilities in the house have not been done yet, but there is no rush now.You can move in after the kang is ready.

Even sleeping underneath is better than being crawled by rats in a makeshift shelter.

At night, the brothers and sisters were eating, and footsteps were heard not far away.

Lu Jinnian used his mental strength to observe. The person who came was a woman in her 40s, dressed in normal clothes, with two lumps of blush painted on her face, which looked weird.

After approaching, the woman smiled and said, "It's time to eat, I'll wait a while."

Looking at the shredded radish they ate, I didn't feel greedy. These things are eaten in the countryside now.

Lu Jinnian looked over curiously, "Who are you?"

She didn't remember who she was friends with here, except for Li Zheng's family, it was Li Changhu, but she had met Li Changhu's wife.

The woman replied, "I'm the matchmaker of Li's Village, you can call me Aunt Hua."

"Matchmaker?" Lu Jinnian looked at her in surprise, but thinking about it, his younger brother has indeed reached the age of marriage, but it's still too early to get married, so it's not impossible to get engaged.

Thinking of this, she thought that the matchmaker was going to introduce a girl to Lu Jincheng, so she put down the dishes.

"Aunt Hua, if you have anything to say, just talk about it, don't delay the meal." She was very polite, and moved the small bench she made by herself to the side.

Seeing this, Aunt Hua stood up and sat down and said: "Everyone knows the situation of your family. It is really not easy for brothers and sisters to live together."

"The daughter of the butcher Li Changzhuang's family in our village has taken a fancy to you. She is sixteen years old and her family has good conditions, so she let you marry her."

"As for your brothers and sisters, their family paid to help marry a daughter-in-law and provide a dowry. Such conditions are really not easy. Li Changzhuang's family is really a good family!"

Hearing that Lu Jinnian was surprised at the beginning, his face became expressionless, and his face was very cold.

Not to mention getting married, this kind of thing can only be done by a wimpy man.

It's just helping to marry a daughter-in-law to a younger brother and sister. Isn't this contemptuous?

The three siblings at the side looked at each other in dismay, their expressions were a little apprehensive, not because they were afraid that Lu Jinnian would abandon them and marry them.

But Lu Jinnian is a woman, how can a woman marry a woman?Isn't this nonsense?

Lu Jinnian shook his head and replied, "Aunt Hua, my family doesn't need other people's help. As for marrying me, I won't be able to do so in my life."

The attitude must be clear, otherwise it will be Butcher Li’s house today, and Landlord Li’s house tomorrow.

Aunt Hua was very surprised when she heard that, "Why? You brothers and sisters are all in charge, how can there be such a good thing in this world."

Not to mention that Lu Jinnian disagreed, she was shocked when she heard what Butcher Li said this afternoon. Are they stupid?

But Butcher Li's family is just such a girl, so it's impossible not to hire someone else.

"Aunt Hua, if I say it's impossible, then it's impossible." Lu Jinnian said righteously, "It's impossible for me to abandon my younger siblings, and I won't marry into a family. I trouble you to go back and tell them not to mention it."

Get married or something, marry a wife or something, forget it, she is not worthy.
