Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 426 Go home smoothly

Liu Ya was the customer, and it was their family who built the house. Of course, Liu Ya had the final say on whether to pull more earthen bricks or not, and Yaping naturally had no opinion.

So, Yaping took Liu Ya to the brick kiln, yelling as she walked: "Hey, those men put on all their clothes, don't scare the little girl with their shirtless arms. They come to pull adobe bricks." Here, two people are here to help load the car."

As soon as Yaping, a capable and pungent little daughter-in-law, yelled, her man also ran out.Sure enough, he saw that he was wearing a short jacket, and while greeting Liu Ya, he took the rein in Liu Ya's hand and said: "The adobe is over there, I'll pull the horse over there to pretend. Over there too Dirty, broken bricks and stones are hard to walk on. Just talk to my wife here, and it will be fine in a while."

Liu Ya didn't mean to follow. Seeing that the big black horse didn't kick and refused to go, she let go of the rein and stood here with Yaping and waited.But I still don't forget to warn: "Brother, I borrowed this carriage, and this is also a carriage for pulling guests. Don't pile bricks on the seats, and let others crush the carriage."

"I know, I know, don't worry. Before I let people load the car, I covered the seats with straw mats to ensure that there are no bumps. There is a little dust, just wipe it off after unloading the bricks." What Yaping's man said was quite impressive. By the way, Liu Ya didn't say much.

Yaping accompanied Liu Ya to talk here, and asked Liu Ya: "Little sister, I saw that you were the one who came to the brick kiln the day before yesterday, and you are the only one who came to pull the earthen bricks today. Your family is so relieved, that you let me You are a little girl running inside and out."

After finishing speaking, Yaping looked at Liu Ya with some admiration, but it should be more of pity.She must be thinking about how such a petite and young girl must have been bullied at home to be used like this.

Liu Ya smiled, and said: "To tell you the truth, my family is really not good. But the family is very harmonious, and they know that they love me. It's my temperament that loves to talk, and I can't be idle, so I just run around all day I'm busy with work. I don't know anything about building a house at home, and I'm the only one who can ride a horse, so I take care of the running. In fact, the people in the family are busier."

When Liu Ya said this, Yaping also laughed, and said: "Hearing what you said, it is really the case. Building a new house is a good thing, but it is tiring and busy, and the family must not be easy."

After gossiping for a while, and asking about the next time when the clay bricks will come out of the kiln, and when they agreed to pull the clay bricks, Yaping's man came back with a horse-drawn cart.

Liu Ya hurried over to have a look, and sure enough, she saw that there was a layer of straw mats on the car seat, and there were not a few earthen bricks, but they were neatly stacked, and the front and rear were well-proportioned.In this way, as long as the road is not uphill, the horse will not have too much difficulty running.

Liu Ya said: "Thank you, big brother, you are knowledgeable about being brave and caring."

Yaping's man smiled and said, "That's natural. Once we started the kiln, someone always came to pull the bricks. I took my brothers to load the carts. How can I load them so much, neatly, and stably? Horses and oxen pull the carts." It saves effort, everyone knows. Don’t worry, little girl, I think your big black horse has a good skeleton, and these adobe bricks are nothing to it. Your home is in Pingshan Village, right? Don’t worry, you will be ready after noon. I can get home."

Liu Ya gave a thumbs up when she heard this, and praised: "Brother, you are really amazing, you can even calculate the distance. This saves me a lot of worry." Then she turned to Yaping and said, "No wonder you always Praising you as a man, it's really good to see this."

Yaping and her man both laughed.Who doesn't want to hear praise from others?

Liu Ya didn't say much anymore, jumped into the carriage and flicked the small whip, and said: "Then I won't necessarily come with you when you pull the bricks next time. It's still the same as the upload agreement, saying that it was hired by the Liu family in Pingshan Village. It’s my home. Please don’t worry about it.”

Yaping said: "That's what it should be, don't worry."

So Liu Ya drove back.After running on the road for a while, Liu Ya realized that the adobe bricks of this car were indeed well equipped, because the big black horse really didn't take too much effort.Especially after running at speed, the inertia of the car itself can still run very fast.

After trotting all the way, when Liu Ya drove back to Pingshan Village, it was just after noon as Yaping's man said.

Naturally, everyone in the village saw Liu Ya driving back with a cart full of adobe bricks, not to mention the envious eyes.Someone came up to chat and asked Liu Ya directly how many rooms he wanted to build?
Liu Ya didn't answer, someone spoke up: "You don't need to ask, look at the foundation dug by the Liu family over there, there are at least three rooms or more, maybe it's still five rooms."

"What? The Liu family built five rooms at once? Has the Liu family made a fortune?"

"Did you borrow money? I think Wu Niu of the Chen family and their family are close to each other. Did they let their daughter come to the Chen family? The money for these five rooms is a bride price from the Chen family?

"No way, I heard that Wu Niu from the Chen family is going to be engaged to Qiuhong. I heard that he will go to a matchmaker to talk about marriage in just a few days."

"Really? Where did the Liu family get the money from? Let alone five rooms, even building three rooms would cost more than a dozen taels of silver. Can your house afford it? Anyway, ours can't afford it." of."

"My family can't afford it either. Our family relies on the land for food, and the crops harvested throughout the year are enough for food and vegetables throughout the year. There is no money left at all."

These villagers said one sentence to the other, and another sentence to the west.Some talked about their own family, some muttered about Liu's family; some calculated the house built by Liu's family to see how much money it would cost.

Liu Ya drove by on the road, and all she could hear was such voices.But Liu Ya simply turned a deaf ear and ignored it.It's not that she is lofty, it's just that she doesn't want to gossip with these people.What's more, how much money did Liu's family earn and how much did they spend on building the house? Does it have anything to do with these people?

Seeing Liu Ya driving the carriage all the way and passing by without paying attention to anyone, these people couldn't help muttering.

When Liu Ya drove back to the front of the house, she saw that the previously selected area was already being worked on in full swing.Liu Ya stopped the carriage first, tied the horse, then went to the new house, and asked: "The clay bricks have been pulled back, let's see where is the right place to unload them?"

That Master Gu was squatting next to the big earth kang that was dug out, twisting the soil on the edge of the pit with his hands, not knowing what he was observing.Hearing Liu Ya's question, he raised his head and called the two men in the pit in front of him: "You two help to unload the truck. Let's build the main house first, and the earth bricks will be piled on the northeast corner. It's okay, take Easy to pick up."
