Travel through the farmhouse leisurely

Chapter 38
When it came to building a house and buying land, everyone had no opinion, so they all nodded in agreement, with obvious expectations and excitement on their faces...

Now, the main room of the Li family is full of excitement.Everyone was actively discussing various matters of building the house, even Dalang Erlang was talking and gesticulating happily.

Therefore, everyone discussed it very late before finalizing all matters concerning the construction of the house.With the excitement that has not dissipated, each of them went to bed without mentioning...

The next morning, old man Li took Li Erhu and drove the ox cart to the town to talk to craftsmen about the Li family's building a house.There are not many craftsmen who build houses in Anping Town. Old man Li inquired casually, and learned about the character of several craftsmen, and whether their work is fine and neat.In the end, old man Li found a craftsman named Chen Sheng. It is said that he is the best and most honest and kind craftsman in Anping Town.In this way, the family who asks him to build a house does not need to find a small worker himself.

Old man Li found Chen Sheng according to his address. After they met, they talked about the details of building the house, negotiated the wages of the workers, and agreed to take people to Li's house to build the house three days later.

So, old man Li rushed back.In the next three days, everyone in the Li family was making all preparations for building the house.Since the old house still needs people to live in, it cannot be demolished for the time being, so old man Li plans to build the house behind the old house this time.

There was a piece of wasteland behind the old house of the Li family, so the old man ran to the house again, and bought the ten acres of wasteland behind for ten taels of silver as the homestead of the new house of the Li family.

Long before, the members of the Li family had already negotiated. This time to build a house, they had to build a larger courtyard. Pass.

So, these days, old man Li took his son to the town several times a day to collect bricks, tiles, and wood for building houses.Now in the small courtyard of the Li family, there are piles of these things everywhere, and it is difficult to even walk.

Sisters Sun and Lin Xiaoqiao were certainly not idle.Since the craftsmen were building a house, they wanted to have lunch at the master's house, so Sun and Lin Xiaoqiao were also busy with the meals that the craftsmen would have in the next month or so.Several people discussed together and made a list of items to be purchased. They dragged Li Erhu to write them down, and then handed them over to old man Li and his son to go to the town to purchase.

Of course, the movement of the Li family cannot be hidden from the villagers in the village, and the villagers come to inquire about the news almost every day.But even if they knew, they were just envious, and came to congratulate and say a few auspicious and festive words.

Those folks thought that the Li family had money to build a house because old man Li said last time that Li Erhu saved the nobleman in Shazi Town, and he gave him a reward money, so they didn't think about going elsewhere.Lin Xiaoqiao feels that these simple blind daters only know how to spend their days farming and rarely go out of the mountains, so they are relatively ignorant and easy to deceive.

After three days hastily passed, the craftsman named Chen Sheng brought his men to Li's house in Xiaowan Village and started to build a house.Since we knew before that the house built by the Li family this time is relatively large in the countryside, so Chen Sheng brought a total of fifteen people here this time, hoping to complete the work for the main family as soon as possible.

The workers said some auspicious words one after another, and old man Li gave them red envelopes one by one, and then took everyone to dig the foundation.Regarding the matter of giving red envelopes when building a house, it is said that this is a custom in Xiaowan Village. Building a house is considered a big event in the countryside!Some people may never experience it in their entire lives. It is said that if you give a red envelope, then the house will be built smoothly and the house will be built firmly. The family members living in the house will also have a safe life and smooth sailing. .

Old man Li is very generous this time, each red envelope contains [-] Wen coins, a total of [-] red envelopes, and the leading craftsman Chen Sheng even wrapped two coins, which is very rare in the countryside. .Generally, people wrap two or three copper coins to signify the meaning, Lin Xiaoqiao can see clearly, the workers took the red envelopes one by one, squeezed them in their hands, and then they all showed smiles, and the auspicious words came from one sentence to another. The words popped out of his mouth, and the Li family members were all happy when they heard it.

In the following days, everyone in the Li family and brother and sister Lin Xiaoqiao were busy and happy every day.Old man Li took Li Erhu and Lin Jiadalang brothers every day to help the workers build their houses and beat them up.

And Mrs. Sun took Lin Xiaoqiao and sisters to wash up and prepare lunch for more than 20 people every day at dawn. This can be regarded as a huge project.

Mrs. Sun was eating, and she never wanted to be negligent and perfunctory to those workers.Therefore, the three of them have to prepare two big pots of meat and vegetables every morning, and two big pots of vegetables. There must be enough oil and water, and the meals must be arranged in different ways every day.

Not only do you have to cook and wash vegetables, but you also have to steam two large pots of thick noodle rolls every day.Lin Xiaoqiao and sisters couldn't bear to see their grandma, Sun, working hard at such an advanced age.So they scrambled one after another, doing what they could do well, and reducing Sun's work as much as possible.In this way, busy and busy, the days passed in a hurry, and the house has already taken shape, and there are still some scattered work left to finish.

The busy days make Lin Xiaoqiao feel physically tired, but his heart is full.

However, Mrs. Sun felt sorry for the two sisters and felt a little guilty.Due to exhaustion, Lin Xiaoqiao and sisters had to do some things every day because of their small bodies, so the two of them tossed and tossed away the little flesh they had managed to raise.

In this way, after a few days of busy work, the Li family's new house has been completely completed.

Looking at the beautiful new house built by grandma's house, the four brothers and sister Lin Xiaoqiao are all looking forward to it, when they can live in such a house in their own home.

After the house was built, it was natural to entertain the folks and neighbors, and put wine on the beam.Therefore, everyone worked hard for another two days before they calmed down.

Lin Xiaoqiao and sisters looked at the mess in the yard, no longer the hustle and bustle of the day, they really wanted to cry, but they still had to cheer up to pack the dishes and clean the courtyard.

After the upper beam wine was placed, old man Li took Li Erhu to pull back the furniture that had been custom-made in the town, and placed them properly one by one.Then I chose a very auspicious day, and moved everyone into the new house in a lively manner...

In this room, the four brothers and sister Lin Xiaoqiao lived in Li's new house for three or four days, but Lin Erniu in that room suddenly ran to Li's house, saying that he came to pick them up.
