Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 318 Father Does Not Agree to Build a New House

Liu Ya warned Xiao Shu'er so harshly because she was worried that he would become more and more courageous, and he should go out and cause trouble in the future.Some children are timid, so naturally they won't cause trouble.Like Xiao Shu'er, who has a good head and a lot of courage, he has to be disciplined carefully, and don't let him do anything too out of line.Otherwise, if you develop an arrogant and domineering temperament in the future, it will not be easy to change.

No matter how much Liu Ya loves Xiao Shuer's younger brother, she still hopes that he will develop in a good direction; therefore, Liu Ya still does not approve of such things that may lead him astray.

Of course, then again, if someone really dared to bully Xiao Shu'er, or if Xiao Shu'er caused some trouble, she would just ignore it.But there is also a premise, if Xiao Shu'er dares to cause trouble, he must dare to take responsibility, Liu Ya will let him take on his own responsibilities, and then help him out.

Xiao Shu'er naturally listened to Liu Ya's words.But I still said poorly: "Okay, second sister can do whatever she says, I don't dare to go out and cause trouble. But, I'm going to tell second brother-in-law, you said he is a half-grown boy with no hair yet."

"Go ahead and talk. Let's see who he helps." Liu Ya has never been threatened by others, let alone Xiao Shu'er's words.

Xiao Shu'er had no choice but to sigh, and had already silently admitted in her heart that the second brother-in-law would definitely stand by the second sister's side.

Liu Ya smiled, rubbed Xiao Shu'er's hair, and said, "Okay, if you don't want to practice calligraphy, you can help Second Sister in the kitchen, and I'll make dinner."

It's not that Xiao Shu'er doesn't like to practice calligraphy, but he heard that Liu Ya asked him to help, so he went to help as soon as possible.Even if it is to help Liu Ya light the fire, it is better than letting the second sister do everything herself.

Because there was a roast duck, Liu Ya didn't make rice, but knead pancakes, and fried a large bowl of shredded potatoes.Slice the roast duck into slices, then cut a plate of shredded shallots on it, put some noodle sauce in it, and let Xiao Shuer serve it.She put the plucked duck bones into the pot to cook soup. This is called "one duck, two meals". It's good to have meat and soup.

Xiao Shuer looked at a plate of ready-made duck meat and said in surprise: "Second sister, didn't you not go to town today? Where did this roast duck come from?"

"I said I made it myself, don't you believe it?" Liu Ya smiled, half-truthfully speaking, and then without waiting for Xiao Shu'er to ask any more questions, nunuzui said: "Okay, let's serve it to the table, a while Roast duck is not good when it is cold. Potato shredded burritos, roast duck dipped in noodle sauce and served with shredded shallots, are very delicious.”

After Liu Ya finished speaking, she went to cook the soup again.The duck bones are full of flavor, and it is more fragrant than the big bone soup. Add a pot of old duck vermicelli soup with vermicelli, which is more nutritious.

When the soup was ready, Liu Ya brought a large bowl to the table, and Liu Dacheng and Liu Xuer stared at her blankly.

"What's the matter? The roast duck is not delicious?" Liu Ya saw the strange eyes of the two, and wondered what happened again.

Xiao Shu'er said: "I said that the second sister made the roast duck herself, but they didn't believe it. Why don't they just wait for you to have dinner together, so they can ask and understand."

Liu Ya glared at Xiao Shu'er, and said, "You're the one who talks a lot." Then she said to Liu Dacheng, "Father, I made this. I think the roast duck at Xiankeju in the city is delicious, so I thought about making it myself." Look. From now on, we don’t have to go to the city to buy something if we want to eat.”

Liu Dacheng nodded, instead of asking about the roast duck, he said, "Actually, Dad didn't want to ask about the roast duck. Dad just heard from your elder sister that you want to build a house?"

"Yes." Liu Ya nodded and said, "I told my eldest sister. The grass on our roof is thin, and it will be the rainy season soon. It will take a day to replace the grass roof, and it will also cost wages and materials. Money. Besides, the adobe walls are rotten, and you can dig a piece out with your fingernail. If there is a windy day, I’m really afraid that the house will be blown away. I don’t think there’s much point in renovating it. We have to make up for it, but we can’t save much money, so why don’t we just build a new house. It also saves us from having no place to live when the house is being repaired. Once the new house over there is built, we will move there directly, and we will lose everything here. "

"Ya'er, are you... just kidding, or are you confused again? Our family is going to build a new house, and that's no small matter. You just calculate it like this, but don't discuss it with Dad?" Liu Dacheng raised his hand. Feeling embarrassed, the tone of speaking to Liu Ya for the first time was so hard.

Liu Ya was startled, and immediately said: "Didn't I just tell Dad. From now on, I won't make decisions on such a big matter by myself. I will discuss it with Dad first, okay."

"No, Ya'er, you don't understand what father means." Liu Dacheng shook his head and said, "It's not that father blames you for not letting me make the decision, but father thinks that you have worked too hard. Building a house is really not a trivial matter, nor is it a few taels It can be built with money. To choose a site, you have to dig a foundation pit. We don’t have many adobe bricks in the mountains, so we can only build houses with adobe or stones. You need to find someone to make the adobe in advance, and you have to have time to dry the adobe after pressing it out. In a few days, if you want to build a house with stones, you have to go to the mountains to carry the stones. And the wages of these people are not small.”

Liu Ya nodded and said: "I've thought about all this, so to be on the safe side, I plan to discuss this matter again when I come back from the city this time. Whether it succeeds or not depends on how the business I negotiated this time. But I think the hope is very high. Even if it doesn’t work this time, I still have other ways, anyway, the house must be built this year, dad, you just think about where to build it, just build a few rooms.”

"Ya'er, you...you didn't understand what Dad meant." Liu Dacheng seemed a little anxious, and said, "Father knows that you are capable and can make money. But Dad still thinks that you, a little girl, shouldn't work so hard. The life of our family is very good now. If you say you have the money to repair the house and buy two pieces of furniture, my father will not object. But the cost of building a house is so big, my father is still reluctant. The money is reserved for you As a dowry, after two years you and your eldest sister get married, Xiao Shuer and I can talk about anything, it doesn’t matter if the house is small or broken. Anyway, Dad doesn’t plan to spend any of the money you earn.”

"Puchi..." After Liu Dacheng finished speaking, Liu Ya laughed, and while serving Liu Dacheng a bowl of soup, he said, "Father, you mean that our family will just make do with it in this crappy house. Wait until I You and your eldest sister are married, and you and Xiao Shuer continue to make do here? Have you ever thought about whether it is easier for us to find a husband's house because our house is in a dilapidated state, or it is easier for us to build a big and dignified house? Let's find a good husband's family? Even if we are lucky, the family we marry is good, and the husband's family is not picky about these things. But what about Xiao Shu'er? You don't want to tell him a good wife? You have a big house and live a bright and dignified life. Only good girls are willing to marry here."
