Travel through the farmhouse leisurely

Chapter 60

Then, pretending to be serious, he said to the two brothers Dalang Erlang: "Brothers have to study hard. When you come back, you will teach me and my sister to read. We also want to read and read, and we will read books later. I am here I heard people in the town say that there is Yan Ruyu in the book, there is a golden house in the book, I will have to study hard in the future and earn a lot of money!"

Dalang Erlang looked at her serious appearance, smiled at her dotingly, and then promised: "Little sister, I will definitely teach you how to read in the future. With my little sister's intelligence, maybe I can pass the exam." Talented."

Lin Xiaoxi also nodded her forehead, and said with a sneer: "You little money fanatic, you only know how to make money in your head, and people study for the top prize."

Lin Xiaoqiao was not annoyed at all when he heard their jokes, this was the warm feeling of a family, and he still had a happy face.

Mrs. Li and his wife looked at the children's intimate laughter and squabbles, and they were all smiling at this moment.

Lin Erniu, in particular, felt a lot of emotion in his heart. In the old house of the Lin family, he had never seen a few children laughing so freely and happily.After leaving the Lin family, the children are like little birds out of the cage, becoming full of vitality, lively and cheerful.

This time, the second room of the Lin family's discussion about the future development of the family ended in laughter...

After everyone had lunch at noon, Lin Erniu drove the ox cart, took Dalang with him, and went back to Shanglin Village. The two of them didn't come back until dark.

After everyone had a hasty dinner, Lin Erniu explained to everyone about the land purchase in the afternoon.

The two returned to Shanglin Village in the afternoon, went around the village, and finally found a more suitable base, which was at the head of the village, some distance from the old house of the Lin family, about [-] acres.

At first, Lin Erniu felt that the area of ​​the land was too large, but then he thought that his two sons would build a house when they got married, so they decided to buy it together!
These were all discussed by Mrs. Li with him. Otherwise, with his character, he would never have bought such a large base.

After choosing the base to build the house, the two went to Lizheng's house while the iron was hot, paid money to buy the land, and signed the title deed. The total cost was less than 30 taels of silver.

Lin Xiaoqiao was a little surprised at such a cheap price, so he asked. It turned out that the price of the base for building a house in the countryside is very cheap, but the cultivated land is more expensive.

The next day, before dawn, old man Li took Lin Erniu to the town to find the craftsman Chen who had previously built a house for the Li family.

Chen Sheng also happened to be at home today, and when he saw old man Li coming to the door again, he knew that he had brought him work, and he had been busy at home recently, with nothing else to do.

Therefore, when he saw old man Li and the two of them, he seemed quite enthusiastic.

Old man Li didn't exchange greetings with him, so he explained the purpose of coming straight to the point. Chen Sheng naturally patted his chest and guaranteed the ticket, saying that he would definitely do the job well, and the salary would be the same as that of the Li family. An old example of building a house.

Therefore, the three of them carefully discussed all the big and small matters of the Lin family's building this time. After everything was negotiated, the two parties agreed that they would take people to break ground and start digging the house site tomorrow.

After Mr. Li and Mrs. Li left him, they went non-stop to buy bricks, tiles and wood for building the house!
Since old man Li had done such an errand not long ago, he was more familiar with the price and quality, so this time the two of them didn't care too much, and went straight to the previous seller, planning to buy it step by step. .

Because this is the second time that old man Li came to the door, and he bought a lot before, which is considered a large amount of business. This time, the shopkeepers saw that the two of them were buying a lot, and the price was naturally much cheaper.

The shopping went relatively smoothly, and the old man Li and the two came back and explained how they went to town in the morning!

Everyone heard that everything was going well, but at this time there was a problem that needed to be solved immediately.

It turned out that among the rules of building a house, there was a rule that the host had to pack lunch, otherwise no one would be willing to do this job.

However, the second room of the Lin family has moved out of the old house of the Lin family. It is not like the house built by the Li family last time. The original old house has not been demolished and can be used for cooking, so this time the problem of food for the workers has become a problem. A very headache.

Lin Erniu also tried to raise some wages, hoping that they could solve the problem of eating by themselves.However, Chen Sheng told him with a look of embarrassment that the village is no different than the city, and there are no small restaurants. If they solve the problem of eating by themselves, they will not even find a place to eat.If they bring their own meals, they can only bring some dry food and other food, but in that case, the workers will not be able to fill their stomachs, lack oil and water, and cannot work hard.

Lin Xiaoqiao looked at everyone's sad faces, thought for a while, and then suggested: "Why don't we build a simple shed first, build a simple stove in it, and then build an old table and buy some bowls and bowls. We can make it as soon as possible. Those dry food such as thick noodle rolls, we will make them at grandma’s house first, and then take them over and heat them up. Just one dish, what do you guys think?"

After hearing this, everyone nodded their heads, thinking that this method is feasible, and then continued to discuss it.

So, in the afternoon, brothers Lin Erniu and Dalang Erlang hurried to the town to buy a dining table and some pots and pans, and went to the grain store to buy a lot of rice noodles, coarse grains and other food, and went to the grocery store I bought some seasonings such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

The old man Li and his son took machetes and went up the mountain to chop some thick bamboo, planning to rush there early in the morning to build a simple shed for temporary cooking.

Mrs. Sun and the others were busy going to the village butcher to order ten catties of pork, and then came back to pick some vegetables that had just grown in the field, and prepared to take them there to add pot vegetables tomorrow.

The three groups of people spent an afternoon in their respective busy schedules!

In the evening, after everyone had a simple dinner, Mrs. Sun led Lin Xiaoqiao and sisters to work in the kitchen for a long time, steaming two large pots of thick noodle rolls, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

Today, everyone except Mrs. Li was exhausted after a day of running around. Everyone seemed quite tired, so they all fell asleep early...

In the morning of the second day, it was still before dawn, and all the people got up early and went out. After breakfast, they drove a bullock cart and set off to Shanglin Village.

Lin Xiaoqiao was sitting on the bullock cart at this time, still looking sleepy, his little head kept nodding, which made grandma Sun and sister Lin Xiaoxi feel distressed for a while, and they all told her not to go, just stay. Rest at home.
