Chapter 18
It was just an excuse for Lu Sanbao to ask his eldest brother to go back and have a look at Sigou.

His real intention was to make the relationship between the eldest brother and their family closer, and also to make parents pay more attention to him.

It's just that Lu Daxiong looks stupid, but he is not really stupid.

He just doesn't like to talk, but he is like a bright mirror in his heart.

"Okay, go back."

Lu Sanbao took the things, bowed his head and left.

After dinner, Lu Daxiong walked around their construction site with a lantern.

In villages, this kind of robbery rarely happens.

The main reason is that people in the village are poor and have nothing to steal.

But these bricks and tiles are good things. You can get a small cart and sell them for a lot of money.

So Lu Daxiong was worried, and always got up twice a night to watch.

In a few days, the courtyard wall will be finished, and there will be no need to patrol the night back and forth.

When Chen Xingyan stayed in the embroidery workshop for the ninth day, he finally found an opportunity, and then quietly gave someone a few copper coins to send her a letter from home.

Of course, this book was not sent to the Chen family in Jiangnan.

Chen Xingyan integrated the memory of the original owner, remembering that her elder brother, who was a compatriot, was studying in the capital. To her, the entire Chen family can be relied on, in fact, there are only two people.

One is Chen's father, and the other is his elder brother Chen Xinglou.

Speaking of Father Chen, he really loves this daughter, but he is also really busy, and he is a big man, so it is impossible to grow up in the backyard every day.

Therefore, he could not discover in time the unfair treatment his daughter had suffered from his wife.

Of course, this is also due to Mrs. Chen's habit of pretending.

And Chen Xinglou is Chen Xingyan's brother, and he has always been very affectionate and pampering to this younger sister. I hope he can come over as soon as he gets the news.

It's just that Chen Xingyan would never have imagined what kind of ups and downs the letter she sent would go through.

Chen Xingyan stayed in the embroidery workshop for fourteen days. At this time, the Lu family had already built the courtyard wall, and the house on the east side was also under construction.

In order to finish the work as soon as possible, Lu Daxiong specially asked Liu Dazhuang to find some more experts.

It's just that no matter how many talented people there are, the house will have to wait for a while before it can be completed.

The east side is built with two courtyards, and they are all equipped with side rooms, and there is also a side room in the back yard.

If Lu Daxiong's house is built, it will definitely be one of the best houses in Lu's Village!
Because he thought that Chen Xingyan would come back, Lu Daxiong asked people to build a wall between the old house and the east courtyard, and then left a door. At present, they can only go from the old house to the east courtyard, but the people in the east courtyard Don't come to the old house.

In fact, in the final analysis, it is to guard against it.

Seeing that the house looks different every day, Mrs. Wang is also happy, and she has more energy to cook.

The day Chen Xingyan came out of the embroidery workshop, Lu Daxiong personally went to pick him up.

"Thin."

Chen Xingyan glanced at him, and said with a smile, "You must be wrong, I think I'm still fat."

"Not fat. Let's go, I'll take you to a good meal first."

Chen Xingyan smiled, this stupid bear treated her the same.

"The house at home hasn't been finished yet, and I have to wrong you to live in the old house. If you think it's too noisy, I can send you to Shangliuzhuang."

Chen Xingyan raised his eyebrows, "Your sister's house?"

"Ah."

"If I say I want to go, will you really let me go?"

These words made Lu Daxiong dumbfounded, turned his face away, with a embarrassed expression, clearly wrote the words 'I'm just talking'!

When Chen Xingyan returned to Lu's house, Mrs. Wang smiled and steamed white rice for her that night, and even quarreled with each other to improve the food for the first time.

Chen Xingyan probably knew that her mother-in-law was happy because she made money.

"This is the four hanging money I got, mother, please take it."

Wang smiled and said, "No need, I still have it here, you can keep it for yourself."

"I left a few copper coins. Besides, I don't usually go out, and there is no use for it. You can keep it."

Lu Daxiong set the tone with a hammer at the side, "Mother, put it away."

Mrs. Wang took the heavy money and immediately went into the house and locked it.

Lu Xiaoniu gave Chen Xingyan a thumbs up, "Sister-in-law is amazing! It's only been fourteen days, and you've made so much money, it's really admirable."

Chen Xingyan said with a smile: "What is this? If you study hard, you will be able to speak well in the future, and you can earn more than ten times as much money as I do in a day."

Lu Xiaoniu just laughed, the situation that the sister-in-law mentioned, I am afraid it will be difficult to go to the blue sky, right?

Just how many scholars are there in their entire Anyang County?

The master Juren is even rarer!

However, Lu Xiaoniu didn't feel too discouraged. He is still young, even if he can't get a job in the exam, he will be able to find an easy job in the future if he can learn to read and write, and then learn academic arithmetic.

The beams and wood used by rural people to build houses are all prepared by themselves.

Moreover, the wood used to build the house cannot be cut from the mountain when it is used!
It was all prepared by the elders early on, and the quality of the wood also determines whether the house is strong or not.

Over the years, Lu Laohan has only saved a beam of wood, and their family has built a lot of houses, so naturally they want to buy wood.

When Tu Oriehu heard the news, he directly sold him two beams from his house.

"If you go to the town to buy it, the price is not cheap. It's better to ask someone in the village who has it unused, or if you don't need it urgently, buy it for emergency first, and the price will be cheaper."

Lu Daxiong felt that what Tu Orie said made sense, and after discussing it with his father, he went to the patriarch first.

Lu Daxiong didn't come back for a short time, so he didn't know about the situation in this village, but Lu Laohan did!

Almost every household in the village will prepare wood long in advance. Even if it is not used for building a house, it can be used as furniture for the daughter as a dowry.

The patriarch quickly communicated with the clansmen, and several families really felt that they would not need it for the time being, so they thought about giving up the wood in their hands.

The price Lu Daxiong offered was not low, which was a good thing for both parties.

It is impossible for the villagers to go to the town to sell it at such a high price, and Lu Daxiong can't buy suitable wood in the town with the same money.

Seeing the construction of houses here in full swing, the old lady Lu on the other side started acting like a demon again.

Why?

The grandson is urging Shu Xiu again, can she not be in a hurry?

Although she has money in her hand, it doesn't mean she is willing to pay!

Especially after learning that his own grandson is very rich, he made up his mind to get the next layer of wool from Lu Daxiong's body.

Maybe, I was thinking of stewing this sheep with skin and bones!
