After marrying sick Yangzi, I made my whole family rich

Chapter 92 Building a New House

"Wow, eldest sister, you are so awesome!"

Xu Mengxiao was really amazed that he could learn such a skill under the persecution and oppression of the Xu family. This was definitely not something he could compare with his golden fingers.

And her eldest brother and eldest sister, even the ten-year-old Zihan, are all smart and capable, that is, the original owner, but due to congenital deficiencies, his personality and abilities are not like her own.

Therefore, Xu Mengxiao did not tell them that she was the boss of Taoyuan Township so quickly. In this case, the eldest sister must have noticed something was wrong.

"Xiaoxiao, how do you know how to heal?" Xu Lingyan asked casually, thinking of Dr. Chen's exclamation that day.

Xu Mengxiao had already thought of his words, "When eldest brother was here before, I followed him and learned a lot about him."

Xu Lingyan believed it for a moment. Her eldest brother worked as a clerk in a drug store. In private, he also worked hard to learn to read and read medical books, hoping to have a better way to support his family.

"So I can be regarded as inheriting my elder brother's legacy. Whenever I have the opportunity, I will inquire and study with others. I was lucky enough to meet the wandering doctor who taught me. I am still learning to read from Lu He!"

Xu Lingyan immediately ignored her doubts and was filled with heartache, "You are also making waterwheels, teaching cooking skills, learning to read and learn medical skills, and going to the mountains to pick mushrooms. You all..."

She originally wanted to say that you are too tired to lose weight, but she saw that her sister's face had become whiter and tenderer. She used to be as sharp as a monkey, but now she is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes away, and she has become as tall as herself. , moves briskly and flexibly, as if full of inexhaustible energy.

Xu Lingyan choked back her words. She really couldn't find anything wrong with her, so she could only say: "You should also rest more!"

Xu Mengxiao couldn't help laughing. She still goes to the old place on the mountain to exercise every day. She uses all kinds of delicious food, drinks and tonics, so she can't help but get better.

What's more, although Xu Mengxiao has done a lot of things, she basically acts as a hands-off shopkeeper. The Li family and his son are looking after the waterwheel business, and Lin Gui is in charge of Taoyuan Township. She only needs to come up with ideas occasionally and get the dividends. .

"As for being a master, as long as you teach a few dishes, you can still get a lot of respect."

Xu Lingyan almost thought she was really relaxed due to her sweet words.

But the situation of their family has improved so much. Zihan's leg has been cured and he can still read. He has also regained his freedom and received embroidery work. I heard that Lu Hai also received an apprenticeship and made money with her help.

Lu Lizheng also helped the village solve the drought problem through her...

So much, how hard Xiaoxiao worked and how much energy she put in!

But now, everything seems to be on track and moving in a better direction.

"Sister, our family is building a new house. When mother's matter is settled, we will also build one. It will be at the west end of the village, not far from the Lu family."

"Okay, I will work hard to do embroidery work, and when the time comes, I will buy the private land with Li Zheng." Xu Lingyan was infected by her vitality and couldn't help but be full of confidence and expectations. She couldn't care less about the troubles of the Zheng family.

When the sisters returned to the village against the setting sun, they saw people coming and going in the village, bringing bricks, tiles, wooden beams and other things for building houses.

There are still two months before the autumn harvest, and there is not much work in the fields on weekdays. During this period, Lu Lizheng hired some strong laborers from the village.

Thirty to fifty cents a day included two meals, including white steamed buns in the morning, oil in the lunch dishes, and occasionally fried meat. Everyone worked hard and didn't feel tired despite the scorching sun.

Fortunately, the weather is finally getting cooler now, otherwise they might have collapsed due to their hard work and intensity.

When Xu Mengxiao arrived home, she saw that the foundation had been built and the footwork had begun.The Lu family bought another piece of land this time, doubling the area of ​​the current adobe house, and planned to build a "凵"-shaped semi-enclosed blue brick house. The open space in the middle would be surrounded by a large yard and planted with persimmons. Tree, build a grape trellis, don’t be too comfortable enjoying the cool air in summer.

In addition, Lu Hai is also planning to build a larger shed for his affectionate chickens, ducks and geese, right next to the hut.

Lu He made a little design, and he could also pour chicken manure and the like directly into the toilet. These are all good things. The fertilized fertilizer can not only be used to water vegetables, but also make the soil more fertile.

The vegetable garden was next to the main house and another one was opened behind the row. The Lu family's original plot was behind the east wing. The two vegetable plots were enough for the whole family.

These plans were made by the three men in the family, and Xu Mengxiao took a look at them after they were completed.

Xu Mengxiao was very satisfied and pointed to a corner of the courtyard wall, "Let's build another doghouse. Have you forgotten Xiao Hei and Xiao Hui?"

Little Black and Little Gray seemed to know that they were calling themselves. They cupped their master's feet and shook their chubby bodies vigorously.

"What the hell, I feed them every time, why are they closer to you?" What's weird is that even chickens, ducks and geese are the same. Xu Mengxiao apparently caught a rooster and made it into a rooster. pot.

Thinking of this, he swallowed his saliva and said, "There are three roosters at home. Isn't that a bit too much? Can we just keep one?"

"No, a rooster can only have one hen, and they can be paired up one by one. They can't have three wives and four concubines."

Lu Hai chuckled, a little maliciously, "But I see those three hens are all circling around a rooster. I'm afraid they already have three wives and four concubines."

Xu Mengxiao curled her lips, "That's not easy to handle!"

Soon, Lu He and Lu Hai saw three roosters and three hens at home, tied by their feet with cloth strips by someone, and paired up in pairs, truly realizing "monogamy".

"Pfft!" Lu Hai almost burst out laughing. He looked at the two chickens connected together and following them wherever they went. There was a chicken couple who seemed to be in disharmony. One wanted to go to the east and the other to the west. They were very contentious. After talking for a while, the hen who had hatched a chick and had an extremely bad temper pecked her twice before he followed his wife obediently.

"Goose, goose, goose!" Li Erhu smiled like a duck when he saw their unique chicken.

He came here to train the two puppies, but actually after having a meal at the Lu family, he thought about coming to "work" every day.

The days passed in an orderly manner, and Xu Mengxiao specifically asked the Li family not to reveal that they had cooperated with Zhang Linjiang.

So much so that when she saw Lu Shi's family several times, they were very arrogant, as if they would soon be different from these country people, and looked down upon everyone.

On this day, Zhang Linjiang took a water tanker back to take care of things. After finishing the matter, he immediately came to Yaoyu Village.

Uncle Six had been waiting for him, and he even occasionally wondered if he might have made a mistake. He never mentioned cooperation at all. He had done so much, just in case he couldn't sell it...

But every time Lu Shi comforted him, "If he doesn't choose ours, he will choose someone else. The waterwheels made by Li De and others are far inferior to yours, and ours is cheaper. As long as he is not blind, he will come to you." Yes, just do it!"

So that day when they heard that Zhang Linjiang was here again, the sixth uncle and Mr. and Mrs. Lu Shi were so excited that they almost shed tears.

"It's finally here, let me tell you!"

"Let's go and pick up a ride. I've done seven or eight of them this time, and I can earn more than 20 taels of silver in one go!"
