Reborn to be a country doctor

146 Chapter 146. Renovating the House
At seven o'clock the next day, the sky was already bright. Lin Qingxi was woken up by the dazzling sun when she opened her eyes. She looked to the side and remembered that Lin Qingping and his wife came back last night. Sleeping Xu Ling and the two female dolls, she got up lightly, closed the door and walked out.

"Little sister, you're up. Are your sister-in-laws awake?" As soon as Lin Qingxi came out, she saw Lin Qingping and Zhou Mingming exercising in the yard.

"Not yet, let them sleep again! Brother, what do you want for breakfast?" Lin Qingxi looked at Lin Qingping and asked in a low voice.

"I can do anything, I'm not picky eaters," Lin Qingping said casually, continuing to exercise.

"Brother Mingming, help me kill a chicken and have it stewed for lunch," Lin Qingxi looked at Zhou Mingming who was exercising, and ordered him not at all politely.

After she finished speaking, she went into the kitchen, took out a toothbrush from the cupboard, went to wash by the well, washed her face with cold water after washing, and went into the kitchen to cook porridge.

Lin Qingxi cooked a pot of brown rice porridge, then put twenty eggs in the porridge, and fried a pile of dried beans. While she was still cooking the brown rice porridge, Xu Ling and the children got up one after another , especially the brothers Lin Yizheng and Lin Yirong, they saw their parents when they came together, and they couldn't wait to move over.

Said: "Dad, we came from home, my sister spent a lot of money, and then the emperor's house also spent a lot of money on buying things and buying bricks to build a house. You and my mother have to give the money to my sister. With the four of us, you can't let her suffer."

Lin Yizheng thought he was very quiet, but in fact, everyone heard it, and everyone looked at him dumbfounded, especially Lin Qingping, who was so sad. This son was born in vain, and his thoughts were not on him.

"Dad, did you hear that? Why didn't you speak?" Seeing that Lin Qingping was silent and stunned, Lin Yirong urged.

Lin Qingping didn't want to talk to his two sons, so he turned around and left, while Lin Yizheng and Lin Yirong Xu noticed the abnormality of the others, touched their heads in embarrassment, and went to wash up, planning to go to Xu Ling later say it.

Everyone else looked at the pair of brothers amusedly. No one laughed at them, especially Lin Qingxi, who was very moved.

When Lin Qingxi finished breakfast and everyone was eating, the four people who brought bricks over yesterday came to work. Seeing them coming, Lin Qingxi took some for Zhou Mingming to open the door next door, and the others continued. eat.

After breakfast, Xu Ling took over the job of cleaning the dishes, and asked the children to go to the next door to help. Xiang Yijing and Xie Lu also wanted to follow, but were stopped by Lin Qingxi because the dirty clothes at home had not been washed. So the two were left to do the laundry.

Beeping sounds started from next door. Zhou Mingming and Lin Qingping knocked a three-meter-wide and two-meter-long aisle in the middle of the wall to make it easier for both sides to enter and exit. Fortunately, the wall is three meters high. The missing part won't look ugly.

Picking up the bricks and stacking them next to each other, Lin Qingping's younger children cleaned up the corners, and then he brought the older children and the four to start building the house.

Lin Qingping and Zhou Mingming knew how to build a house. The two of them took a group of three children and each started to build a house. The yard was paved with green bricks. There was no need to lay the foundation again, and they could directly build the house on the green bricks. Just build the house upwards, which saves a lot of effort.

The next door was busy, and Lin Qingxi and the four lesbians were also very busy. After washing the clothes, they hung them in the corner next to the door, and then went to the kitchen to prepare lunch. There were many people eating, so they had to prepare early. just work.

"Sister-in-law, you stew this chicken first. Quietly, you light the fire for your sister-in-law. Lulu goes to the well to wash the vegetables. After washing these vegetables, I will soak the dried shiitake mushrooms, dried fungus and dried bamboo shoots first. I'll wash the vegetables with you later."

Lin Qingxi was very relieved that Xie Lu was washing vegetables by the well alone, because the well in the yard was a pressurized well, and the mouth of the well was covered with stone slabs, so there was no need to worry that the child would fall.

"Okay, is the stewed vegetables in the barrel for lunch or not?" Xu Ling looked at the wooden barrel curiously after speaking. She ate a few pieces of braised large intestines last night, which will make her feel a little greedy.

"Eat chicken at noon today, let's eat stewed vegetables tomorrow! You can fish them out and cut them later," Lin Qingxi shook her head. There are so many dishes at noon that are hearty enough.

"Okay, I'll listen to you," Xu Ling nodded, and started to work without saying anything. Fortunately, the chicken was cleared up in the morning, and it would just be chopped into pieces and put in a pot to stew.

Lin Qingxi brought a kettle from the living room, soaked dried shiitake mushrooms, dried fungus, and dried bamboo shoots in hot water, and then went to the well to wash vegetables with Xie Lu.

"Sister-in-law, pour out the hot water in the kettle and let it cool! Before you stew the chicken, reboil a pot of boiling water and let it cool down for the children to eat. It's too hot to drink hot water," Lin Qingxi said while washing the vegetables. said loudly in the kitchen.

"Okay, I see," Xu Ling replied and started working.

Next door, the adults and children cooperated very well. The adults were responsible for building the house, and the children were responsible for mixing cement and sand to make a paste and transporting bricks. Although it was tiring and hot, none of the children left, and they all did well. Kind of.

It took two days to build the four houses next door. In addition to the good cooperation between adults and children, the four houses are not big. They are all more than 30 bungalows. There is nothing in it except the kang.

After the room next door was built, on the third day, Zhou understood that they finished the arch wall, and then started to build a new kitchen and bathroom. The previous bathroom was just a simple shed for bathing and so on. convenient.

It took a day and a half for the new kitchen and bathroom to be completed, and the next step was to build the stove. In addition to the stove, Lin Qingxi asked Zhou Mingming and Lin Qingping to build two tables in the kitchen, one for storing things, and one for For chopping vegetables or something.

Of course, while everyone works hard, it is also inseparable from Lin Qingxi and Xu Ling's hard work in food. The two have never been stingy people. On the first day, they stewed chicken and a few vegetables, and on the second day they stewed it well The pigs were put into the water with a few vegetables. On the third day, it was stewed fish with tofu, still with a few vegetables. On the fourth day, it was also stewed chicken or braised pork.

The food was good, and the four people worked very neatly. It only took four days to renovate the house. On the afternoon of the fourth day, Lin Qingping and his team tore down the stove in the old kitchen, and the original door was blocked. He opened a door in the living room and rebuilt the kang.

Looking at the brand-new house, everyone was in a very beautiful mood. Xu Ling and Lin Qingping readily gave Lin Qingxi a thousand dollars. Lin Qingxi didn't want to accept it at first, but Lin Yizheng and his brothers "made it difficult" , she had no choice but to take the money.
