Chapter 74, Looking Affectionately

At this time Xu Jin looked at Xiao Zeyi, and the other party looked at her too.

For a while, there were many thoughts in my mind, but I didn't realize that this look was a bit like... Looking at each other affectionately?
"Ah! It's starting to rain!"

It wasn't until Xiao Mochen opened the door outside and came out and shouted that the two who "looked at each other affectionately" came back to their senses, and then they were both a little embarrassed.

"It's time for us to get up too." Xiao Zeyi said as he lifted the quilt out of bed.

Xu Jin gave him an annoyed look, "It's good for you to call me earlier! You've slept until this hour!"

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry to go out."

Xiao Zeyi would not tell Xu Jin that he had woken up a long time ago, but seeing her peaceful sleeping face, he was reluctant to let go.

After finally hugging my daughter-in-law, why don't you hug me a little longer?
He didn't expect to fall asleep again holding him in his arms.

It can only be said that he was influenced by Xu Jin.

Xu Jin hurriedly put on her clothes, and when she opened the door, she was still shivering and cold.

It was foggy outside, and it was drizzling.

"Sister-in-law, it's raining!" Xiao Mochen had just finished washing when he heard the door open and looked back.

"Look how excited you are! Don't want to go into the mountains?" Xu Jin could tell what he was excited about at a glance.

Xiao Mochen chuckled, "It's not that I don't want to go into the mountains, but I also want to take a rest."

After all, he is only a half-grown child, and he is already much, much better than Xu Yu.

"Well, we can rest for a few days. This spring rain is the most annoying. It can be as short as three or five days, and as long as one or two months. You can go into the mountains not so soon."

"Oh." Xiao Mochen couldn't get excited anymore.

He still wants to earn a lot of money, how can he become the richest man in Nanyue without money?
Xu Jin quickly rinsed his mouth and washed his face, it was convenient to have this "tap water", and he was not afraid of wasting water at all.Anyway, the water will flow away without it.

But when she got to the kitchen, her mood was not so beautiful.

It was windy and rainy, and the semi-outdoor stove was dirty everywhere, and she had to spend a long time washing it before it could be used.

It's really annoying to get dirty after a while after washing!

She asked Xiao Mochen to light the fire, baked half a basket of pancakes as quickly as possible, then quickly turned off the fire and ran to the new house.

Xu Jin was annoyed that he didn't build the stove sooner, but Master Yao came outside with all the craftsmen, which surprised the three of them.

Master Yao took the lead and said as soon as he came in, "Master Xiao, Mrs. Xiao, I'm really sorry, the road is slippery in rainy days, so I'm late today."

Xiao Zeyi doesn't like to talk to outsiders, Xiao Mochen is still a child, so Xu Jin is always outside.

"It was agreed last night that if it rains, we will stop working and rest. When I woke up early in the morning and saw the drizzle, I thought the masters would not be here today!"

After 20 days of getting along with each other, the craftsmen were not so afraid of Xiao Zeyi anymore. They all laughed and said in a hurry: "We want to rest, but we think that the bluestone slabs have been delivered, and we can be busy in the house on rainy days. Soon they will all come!"

Xu Jin smiled and said: "Then you guys came at the right time, quickly help me build a stove first, otherwise we will have problems eating in the future!"

The craftsmen were stunned for a moment, and they all looked at the kitchen with only two walls, and immediately understood.

Master Yao hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up, a few people who know how to build the stove come out, and the rest go to lay the floor!"

All of a sudden, the whole yard became busy.

After a while, many people brought Mrs. Xu also came.

Xiao Zehe and Xiao Zehai lagged behind, and their faces were unnatural when they came.

Xu Jin ate a piece of cake indiscriminately, and wrapped the rest in greased paper and handed it to Xiao Zeyi to take away.

"It's going to rain heavily soon, so you have to go? We won't make this money!" Before going out, Xu Jin looked at the increasingly dark sky outside, feeling very uneasy.

Xiao Zeyi's heart warmed up, "I promise, people can't keep their promises."

"But……"

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon!"

Xu Jin wanted to stop her, but she didn't say anything, and the two of them didn't know each other well enough that she could control Xiao Zeyi.

But she does worry.

Worried Xu Jin watched helplessly as Xiao Zeyi left in his coir raincoat.

There are still many coir raincoats, and the Xiao family does not have such things.

Xiao Zeyi's stature is more than a head taller than many, so the coir raincoat looks a bit small on him.

Xu Jin didn't turn around until he could no longer see Xiao Zeyi's figure.

When Mrs. Xu saw her, she muttered, "It's about to rain heavily, how dangerous this mountain is! Why doesn't my son-in-law listen to my advice!"

Xu Wangshi was in a hurry to get angry.

Xu Jin sighed, "What he promised to others, you can't keep your word, otherwise who will ask him to buy prey next time?"

Xiao Mochen, who was in charge of lighting the fire, looked at the mother and daughter worrying, and comforted him heartlessly, "Auntie, sister-in-law, don't worry. My brother has been in the mountains in worse weather than this, so this time it will be fine. His martial arts Good job!"

Xu Jin and Xu Wangshi nodded, still worried.

Fortunately, the master craftsmen in the west of the house called, and Xu Jin hurried over.

The house faces south and is built in two phases. First build the four rooms on the west side, the upper room, side room, wing room, and lower room, and then build the hall, four rooms on the east side and the gate.

This is the simplest residential house in Jianzhou of this dynasty. Many houses have the same structure, but the materials used are different.

If the family has a large population, the construction of the village head’s house is more complicated. His house has a back room on the north side of the upper house, and a protective house on the east and west sides of the house. It is said that there are [-] rooms in total.

However, his family can't be compared with the big families. It is said that the big families outside have two to three hundred rooms, and the poor place of Xiaohu Village can't compare.

The kitchen was built in the lower west room, and Master Yao called Xu Jin over to confirm the location and size of the kitchen.

This Xu Jin didn't understand, "The location is the same as everyone else's, next to the west wall. Just compare the size with the old one!"

Xu Jin felt that the old kitchen was quite useful, but the Xiao family was too dilapidated, and she knocked down two walls in just a few days!
As for why the two walls collapsed, she kept silent.

"Okay! Then we know how to build it. Let's start now. Keep Mrs. Xiao and use the new stove at night!"

Xu Jin said: "Don't worry, you build it slowly, even if it's finished, please help me to lay bluestone on it, this is easier to wash."

The old stovetop was pasted with red bricks. The bricks at this time are not as smooth as the tiles of later generations. Some dirt on them cannot be washed off after a long time, which is not good-looking.

Bluestone becomes smoother the more it is used, and it can be cleaned with a rag, but it is not as good-looking as red bricks, and the price is also expensive, so few people use it.

What Xu Jin said, the master craftsmen agreed one by one, and she turned and went out.

I don't understand anything, staying here not only can't help, but also gets in the way.

Xu Jin went out to study how domestic sewage is discharged. After a while, it became darker, and there was faint thunder, and after a while, heavy rain poured down.

She managed to hide in the house and scolded whenever she opened her mouth.

"Is Xiao Zeyi sick? Tell him not to go out, he just won't listen! Now he's fine, maybe he's drowned somewhere! I don't know where the thunder came from! There are many trees in the mountains, just in case……"

What if you are struck dead by lightning?
Xu Jin didn't dare to say what happened next.

Xu Wangshi had already jumped up and slapped her hard on the forehead.

What an unlucky boy!Scolding my elder brother in front of his younger brother, is it because he didn't think he was beaten to death by a man?
Xu Wangshi was also anxious, her daughter was destined to marry Xiao Laosan, if something happened to this man again, what would happen to her Xiao Jin for the rest of her life?Xiao Jin has no children yet!
