Jade Space of Rebirth

Chapter 27 Negotiation
Mrs. Cao doesn't know much about Tang Zhi these days, but she figured out a thing or two based on her temperament. If this girl decides something, there must be no chance of redemption. Seeing the determination on this little face, it seemed that she didn't accept it. She really meant to not want the orchard, and her casual clothes softened, but she still didn't forget to nod her head, "You ghost, eat Aunt Cao to death, look Next time Aunt Cao will not sue like your mother!"

Tang Zhi was not afraid of anything else, but she was afraid that someone as smart as Cao would not be able to see this matter about Mrs. Li. At this moment, she deliberately brought up this matter, and seeing Tang Zhi's puckered mouth, she laughed again, "Be good. Watching the family at home, Aunt Cao will be back when she is busy!"

"En!" Tang Zhi didn't bother Mrs. Cao. Although the afternoon was long, her own affairs were not trivial, and she had to be busy for a long time, and she still remembered Mrs. Cao saying that she would go back to the old house to tidy up and salute. Guang took care of his family these days, but Aunt Cao's own clothes were still left behind. Speaking of this matter, Tang Zhi still felt a little guilty.

Tang Zhi stood at the door and watched Cao Shi go out, then closed the door obediently, and when she turned her head, she happened to see Li Shi looking at her. Occasionally, her eyes drifted outside the door, with a bit of gentleness and gratitude in her eyes, obviously Seeing Mrs. Cao, he thought of the surplus life of his family these days.

To be honest, Tang Zhi didn't want her mother to live here with the idea of ​​depending on others, but she also knew that she couldn't tell her everything with her current ability, so she had to try to coax her in other ways.

At this moment, Tang Zhi was yelling that he was sleepy, so Li Shi didn't delay, wiped the oil stains on his son's face, looked up at his daughter standing in front of him, and asked if he wanted to sleep together.

Of course Tang Zhi shook her head. Although she had a strong affection for Mrs. Li, she was still not used to sleeping with others. She had no choice but to do so in the first half month, so she would naturally strive for a fight.

Mrs. Li carried Tang Zhi back to the room, and told Tang Zhi to go to bed before entering the door, and not to leave the house if she wanted to play, Tang Zhi nodded, and walked obediently to her room.

The three rooms on the left are side by side, Tang Zhi is in the middle, next to the main room is the elder brother Tang Qi, and at the bottom is Tang Xin. The door of Tang Qi's room is not closed tightly, and there is a gap where one person stands flat. Tang Zhi is just Casually glanced inside, but let her see an interesting scene.

I saw that her brother was taking a family nap at the moment, reading a book he had brought from somewhere, and was reading it seriously. He didn't even notice that Tang Zhi opened the door quietly and walked in. In the end, it was Tang Zhi. Zhi made a noise on purpose, Tang Qicai saw her, and then nervously hid the book behind her back.

Seeing her elder brother acting like a thief, Tang Zhi laughed in her heart, but she pretended to be ignorant, shaking her head and looking at him, "Brother, what are you playing, Zhi'er wants to play too!" Tang Qizheng was embarrassed He looked up and saw his sister's innocent eyes, hesitated for a moment and rubbed his body to the side of the table, hid the book in the basket inside like lightning, although he moved quickly, he couldn't hide from Tang Zhi's eyes, but he pretended to be nothing Seeing that, he still looked at his eldest brother with a simple smile on his face.

Tang Qi put his hand back pretending to be relaxed, and touched Tang Zhi's head with one hand, "Zhi'er misunderstood, brother is sitting here to digest food, thinking about sleeping for a while, Zhi'er wants Don't you sleep with your brother?"

"Don't! Zhi'er has grown up so I don't want to sleep with my brother. It's my brother who is afraid of wanting Zhi'er to accompany him, so he is ashamed!"

Tang Qi watched his sister shaking her little head, then reached out and wiped her face a few times, her face really turned red.

Tang Zhi saw with sharp eyes, and she was laughing like a thief in her heart, even the cold feeling that she had just pretended to be tender disappeared without a trace. She didn't want her elder brother to get a big blush by herself, so Tang Zhi laughed a few times, like a mischievous child , ran out the door.

And Tang Qi, who was sure that his sister had really left, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't care about the book for now. He went up to close the door and plugged it in from the inside. Then he came to the table and picked up the book just now to read.

When I was in Xinghuachun Village, the Tang family had no money to send their children to school, so Tang Qi secretly hid in the corner of the school every day and followed the voice inside. He remembered what the father and son taught him outside the school. He also used branches to learn new characters on the ground, not to mention that he has learned quite a few characters over the years.

But this time the plague, the nearby villages suffered, and he had no place to study anymore. He thought that his hobby would be killed like this, but he didn't expect that he found a book in his room this morning.

The words in the book were extremely awkward to Tang Qi, even though he tried his best to recall what he had learned, he still read with a half-knowledge, so he read it more seriously, so Tang Zhi didn't feel it when he came.

Tang Qi knew that his family was no longer able to learn any more knowledge, so he didn't want his younger sister to know, for fear that his mother would hear her revealing her mouth, otherwise she would be sad again.

On the other side, Tang Zhi ran back to the room easily, thinking that pretending to be a child was more tiring than planting trees. She wiped off the sweat that didn't exist on her head, and sat in the room thinking about it.

If she hadn't seen her eldest brother reading a book today, she would have really ignored this issue. The children of the Tang family, the eldest is thirteen and the younger is five years old. Now that they have settled down, the matter of going to school must also be settled.

She saw the seriousness of her elder brother's reading. The seriousness does not mean that he regards books as treasures. There is still time to study, and she also has this ability to provide for her. Xindao will ask Aunt Cao to help when the orchard project is finalized. School, send all three children in the family to school as soon as possible.

Obviously Tang Zhi excluded herself subconsciously, but did things really go as she wished?
Mrs. Cao didn't come back until dusk, Mrs. Li had already prepared the meal, Tang Xin helped to fight, Tang Zhi took care of Tang Zhi without hesitation, and Tang Qi seemed to have locked himself in the house since he found the book inside.

Tang Zhi deliberately concealed it for her elder brother, at first she said that her elder brother was still sleeping, but when Li Shi asked again, she said that she asked her elder brother to find something, anyway, there was always a reason for not being there.

After dinner, the whole family rested, and Tang Zhi finally had a chance to sneak into Cao's room.

As in the past, Mrs. Cao had already waited early. When she saw her come in, she didn't say much, just said four words, "It's all done!" Mrs. Cao was looking for a more famous master in the county. The man was not willing to go to the mountains to build a manor, so he finally showed the drawing drawn by Tang Zhi to the master, and the master agreed.

According to Cao's words, the master's eyes lit up when he saw the blueprint, and he wondered why this manor is so weird, but his eyes were very interested, and then he took the initiative to talk to Cao about the construction of the manor The detailed process comes.

Tang Zhi listened to Cao's detailed account of the afternoon's affairs. She listened carefully, nodded, and said a few words when she was still confused. She didn't feel anything, but she didn't look at it. When I arrived at Cao Shi, I looked at her eyes full of admiration from time to time.

The two talked for about half an hour before they settled on the matter of the orchard. Finally, Mrs. Cao talked about the wages again, first talking about building the bricks and stones covering an area of ​​[-] mu in the manor, then talking about the personal expenses of the master, and tips for the workers, and more. Tang Zhi was responsible for the food and lodging of the workers during the construction period.

In short, if all these things are put together, there is no 200 taels that can’t be done, but in fact the price is higher, but the master took a fancy to Tang Zhi’s sketch of the courtyard, and said that the sketch was given to him, and the labor cost would be reduced by a few layers. He made his own decision and agreed.

Tang Zhi heard that she had no objection, looked at Cao Shi and said, "It's fine for Aunt Cao to decide, and the drawings are useless to me. If I want a new house in the future, Zhi'er's drawing is better!"

If Cao Shi only thought she was joking in the first place, but had seen her painter, he would feel nothing but amazed.

The matter of the orchard was settled in this way, and Tang Zhi still couldn't show up in the next process, so everything still had to trouble Cao Shi. Thinking of always asking Cao Shi to run errands, Tang Zhi felt guilty and grateful.

This will suddenly remind me of Cao's face when she first met her, she saw a cup on the table and hurriedly stood up from the bed, kicked her legs and ran over, and after a while, she brought a glass of water and handed it Gave it to the Cao family.

"This is?" Cao Shi took it and asked doubtfully.

Tang Zhi smiled and said, "Although Aunt Cao was rescued last time, Aunt Cao's health is not completely recovered. I said to take care of it slowly, but Zhi'er has been too playful these days to forget. Fortunately, now It's not too late, I will bring this water to Aunt Cao every day in the future, to ensure that Aunt Cao is in good health!"

Mrs. Cao was taken aback, and hearing Tang Zhi's sincere words, her eyes felt inexplicably hot. She was originally a cold-tempered person, and it was not easy for someone to move her. I couldn't help but want to cry, I thought that I was so delicate and pretentious not long after I came out, but I was still happy in my heart.

Compared to what Cao Shi did for herself, Tang Zhi felt that what she was doing now was nothing. Her psychology was very simple. As long as others treated her well, she would treat others well!
Mrs. Cao held back the emotion in her heart, nodded her head with a smile and scolded, and said, "It's quite playful, sometimes remember to take care of your mother. Aunt Cao sees that she is not in good health, so change her name." It’s better to find a doctor to take a look, nothing is better than nothing!”

"Zhi'er was careless, then I will trouble Aunt Cao!" I have to say that Mrs. Cao is much more thoughtful than she thought. She had been thinking about using spiritual water to heal her mother's illness, but she forgot about it. There is still a doctor's saying in the world, and when Cao Shi reminded her, she immediately burst into a smile.

Seeing her smiling so happily, Mrs. Cao couldn't help laughing, and finally drank the water in the glass in one gulp.Seeing that it was not too late outside, Tang Zhi revealed her plan to let the children of the Tang family go to the school during the day. To be honest, she didn't know the school's current charging requirements, let alone the tuition fees. She only hoped that Cao If you can help her find out, if she really has that ability, she hopes that all the children of the Tang family will learn the best.

Mrs. Cao was very surprised when she heard this. She never thought that Tang Zhi would have such big thoughts at such a young age. You must know that not everyone can think of sending their children to school. She seemed to mean that she didn't seek fame and wealth, but only wanted to increase the knowledge of the children of the Tang family, but seeing this, she looked at Tang Zhi differently, and Cao felt that she was right.

Naturally, this matter was accepted by Mrs. Cao. It was not a strenuous task to inquire about the school, it was just a matter of dropping by.

In fact, Tang Zhi still needs someone to help her with some things urgently, but she can't bear to see Cao's going out early and returning late, and she needs to supervise from time to time when the orchard is built. She hasn't worried about these little things herself?
So Tang Zhi made a decision, so she raised her head and said to Cao Shi, "Aunt Cao, I want to buy a servant back!"

"I want to buy a servant!" Mrs. Cao was stunned when she heard this, and then nodded.

"Your mother is not in good health. Do I have time during this period? I have to find someone to take care of you. I'll go and see you tomorrow!" Mrs. Cao agreed with this matter, and it seemed that she had already planned this.

Tang Zhi was very happy to hear that Mrs. Cao agreed, and now they looked at Mrs. Cao with twinkling eyes, and said, "Then Aunt Cao, can I go find it myself?"

"Yourself?" Cao was a little worried, but seeing the expectation in Tang Zhi's eyes, she finally nodded, "However, there is a condition, Aunt Cao, the person you choose, has to be seen, you are too young to understand some things, The family is full of children, if bad people are introduced, it will be bad!"

Cao's worry was very reasonable. Although Tang Zhi's purpose was to find someone to sleep with, she didn't want to make fun of her family's safety, so she nodded, "Just do what Aunt Cao said!"
