Bamboo Fragrance
Chapter 90
Chapter 90
Since he made an appointment with Zhao Junyi, Li Kongzhu felt at ease for the time being.
I have also been to Lingyun Temple, and now I only need to come back when the snow melts.
Hawthorn is currently out of production. After returning home, I have to prepare another house building ceremony, so after the beginning of spring, I am afraid that I will be very busy.
Li Chong went to check out early in the morning, while she and Hui Niang started to pack all the things they brought and put them on the donkey cart.
When Li Chong came back, the group headed back towards Huancheng Town.
Back to the town after dark, spent the night at Hui Niang's place in the town, until the next day, the group arrived at the village leisurely.
Mai Ya'er took the key and helped to burn the kang every day. When they met up at Li Kongzhu's house, the room didn't seem too cold.
A group of people sat on the kang and went to Fucheng to earn money and share the bill.
A total of 360 taels of silver were distributed to Li Kongzhu with more than 120 taels.
Seeing that she got a little less, Hui Niang forced her to make up the whole thing.Holding 130 taels of silver, Li Kongzhu declined but had no choice but to accept it.
"It's just right, I have to go to Fucheng after a few days." Starting from yesterday, some places have already started to melt the snow. If the sun is bright these days, the land will pop up in a blink of an eye. up.
Hui Niang knew that she must have plans, but when she thought of her trip to the temple in Fucheng, she couldn't help joking: "If you go to Fucheng again, do you still have to go to Lingyun Temple? If you go, I'm afraid you should bring more sesame oil Money."
Li Kongzhu made a black line, but what he thought was that when he went back next time, he had to wait until the negotiation was settled before taking out the money, otherwise with the old man's smiling face, he was really afraid of a second time.
Mai Ya'er was curious about what was going on, Hui Niang couldn't help telling her about it.
After she finished listening, she nodded seriously, "I can't even look forward to the words of the eminent monk. Although I donated a little more money, my sister-in-law's luck will be smooth in the future."
Li Kongzhu snorted, if it was so easy to use, it wouldn't be so hard. If everyone went to pray to God and worship Buddha, wouldn't it be faster to get money?
Although I was thinking like this, it was hard to say it, so I quickly changed the subject and said: "It looks like the snow is starting to melt, and when the land softens, we can build a house. When are you going to start construction?"
These words were first addressed to Mai Ya'er.After hearing this, she nodded her head and said: "I am also thinking about this matter, thinking about going to the brick kiln to get the bricks and tiles first, and then talking about the gravel for the foundation. In short, I have to make sufficient preparations in advance. Mile."
Li Kongzhu also nodded, "When will I go, brother Mengzi let me know, I'm going to start preparing."
There is no man in the family for the time being, and she has to take care of everything by herself.
"Hey, what's the matter? At that time, I will let my head of the house help me to set it up together. As for pulling gravel and so on, my sister-in-law can just leave it to him? There are craftsmen who specialize in stone breaking. Buy His stones will be delivered to your door." Although I don't know why Third Brother Zhao went to Fucheng and didn't follow him back, but since he wants to repair the house, with the relationship between the two families, it is also necessary to help each other all the way. .
Hui Niang followed suit and said, "It's the off-season now, anyway, the grocery business in the town is not doing well, so I'll ask the head of the family to help. He walks around all the year round, help It is still possible to find a good craftsman."
"Thank you very much!" It's good to have someone to help, otherwise she will really be blind because she doesn't understand.
"What's the matter!"
The other two women stared at her reproachfully, and then said that sooner rather than later.They all thought about talking to their men after going back for a while.
Mai Ya'er said that the one in her family can go to the brick kiln and visit the quarry directly from tomorrow.
Hui Niang said that the one in her family can go to say hello to the familiar craftsman first, and as soon as the freeze is thawed, he can come here as soon as possible.
While chatting and laughing, Xiang Wu and everyone helped cook together again. After eating, they were afraid that she would accompany her lonely until it was time for Xia Xiang Li Jingzhe to finish school, so they left home.
Li Kongzhu, who sent them away, looked at the room that suddenly became quiet.After thinking about it, he took out two wrapped gift boxes, locked the door, and headed towards Wang's house.
At that time, Mrs. Wang was preparing to pick up her grandson from school, and when she saw her, she was very happy, "I heard that you are back, and I planned to look for you tomorrow after you have recuperated, but didn't you?" Cheng Xiang, since he came here first."
Li Kongzhu smiled and handed over the gift box, "I, the junior, should have come first. I didn't come during the day, so I rushed at this time. Auntie, please don't blame me."
"Where are you talking?" Wang looked at her reproachfully, pushed the gift box twice pretendingly, and put it away.
"It's just right for you to come at this time. Seeing that this student is about to leave school, hurry up and follow me to meet him. Although the boys are not afraid, the sky is not too long after all, so I am worried."
"That's the truth."
Li Kongzhu smiled and encouraged her to go out together. On the way, Mrs. Wang asked her about going to Fucheng. After knowing that Shanzhafangzi was asked to leave by a rich family in Fucheng, she was very surprised, "How often?" Then you won’t have to sell it?”
"That's not true." Li Kongzhu smiled, "It can also be sold, but the income is less. This is how business is. It's better to have something to do than to have nothing to do."
"It's such a rationale." Wang Shi laughed dryly, thinking that she had sent another sum of money to Fucheng this time, but she didn't expect it, since someone caught her.
well!It's really not easy to mess around in this world.
When the two were approaching Liushu Village, they ran into Erwazi who had come back from school.
Jiwa loves to run and jump as always, walking in front, and she was the first to see them.
From a distance, I heard him shouting behind him, "Brother Jingzhe, Brother Jingzhe, your eldest sister is here~~"
"This kid, you've never been safe." Wang Shi laughed on the sidelines.
Li Kongzhu also smiled a few times.
After hearing Jiwa's shout, Li Jingzhe was stunned for a while, and then ran quickly in the next second.
When he rushed in front of Jiwa, he pointed to the two people who were getting closer and said: "Look, I didn't lie, your eldest sister is really here."
"Big sister~" Li Jingzhe grinned and rushed towards her.
Li Diaozhu told him to slow down, and when he got close, he couldn't help touching his little head, "Why are you running so fast? It's not good to drink too much cold wind."
"It's all right!" The boy looked at her with a smile and asked, "Elder Sister, when did you come back?"
"I arrived yesterday, but the gate of the town was closed early, so I have to wait until today before I can leave the city. I will go back to my home in the morning." He greeted several people and walked home.
Jiwa over there asked if he had bought any delicious food, which made Wang laugh and curse and wanted to chase him and beat him.Li Jingzhe started to ask questions, the most important thing was to be curious about what Fucheng looks like.
"When the husband is on vacation, the eldest sister is also free, so I will take you there."
"Really?"
"Really!" Looking at his big bright eyes, Li Kongzhu smiled fondly. "Sis, when did you not keep what you said?"
"No!" The kid jumped up and down happily, imitating Jiwa and running forward, and he also showed off to Jiwa that he would go to Fucheng in the future.
After Jiwa heard this, she began to insist that Wang should follow.
Wang Zuo wanted to shout, but Li Kongzhu stopped him with a smile, "Let's go together!"
"Okay!" Before Wang Shi could reply, Jiwa also cheered and began to jump forward and run away.
Mrs. Wang was very helpless, "I have to scold him when I go back."
"Auntie, I mean it."
Li Kongzhu turned around and smiled at her, Wang's eyes flashed.Then he smiled and nodded again and again, "It really made this kid feel good."
……
Go back to the village to help Li Jingzhe, get back from Mai Ya'er what he put there these days.
When the two returned home, Li Kongzhu simply made noodles with eggs and stewed noodles at night.
After eating, Li Jingzhe practiced big characters with a pen in the hut here. From time to time, she looked up at the eldest sister who was making clothes under the dim butter lamp.
"Sister, is my brother-in-law?"
The hand that was doing the needlework paused, and the next moment, the woman took the tip of the needle and stroked the scalp lightly, "Your brother-in-law is busy, and he won't come back until a while, so don't worry about him."
"Oh!" As he said that, the boy bowed his head again and began to practice calligraphy.
But Li Kongzhu stopped, started to sew without any intention, sat there, looked at the oil lamp, and started to be dazed...
Along with the sun that has been out for several days, the snow that has been accumulated throughout the winter has also begun to slowly change into water and soak into the land in these days.
The winter wheat that has survived the winter is gradually showing its head, adding a little greenness to the gray earth.
There have been rumors going on in the village chief these days, mainly around the two families.
For example, the two families of Zhao Mengzi and Li Kongzhu are about to start building a house. These days, Zhao Mengzi has gone to the brick kiln to fix bricks and tiles.I also bought the gravel for the foundation and the stone slabs for the floor.
Now on the plotted land of the two families, several carts of stones have been brought back, and they are all placed there.
Looking at this posture, some people guessed that the old house was about to be repaired.Those who were thoughtful began to come to the door one after another and asked whether the two families were laborers to do work.
Regarding these matters, Li Kongzhu handed over the management to Zhao Mengzi, and asked him to find some capable and honest people in the village.The set wages were negotiated by the two families. According to the general public, forty yuan a day includes a meal, but compared with going to the town or other places, the meal must include meat.
As for those who wanted to apply for handicraft jobs or big jobs, they were directly rejected, saying that they had already found a job.
Because of this incident, although it helped some people, it also offended some people.
Those who are lazy and want to pick up cheap things but fail to pick up good ones will inevitably speak bitter words.
Among these bitter words, Zhao Junyi's matter bears the brunt.
After all, it has been many days, since they came back from Fucheng, they have not seen Zhao Junyi.
Some people in the village began to say that Zhao Junyi was afraid of suffering, and what's more, rumors were spread about Li Kongzhu's indiscretion.What to say, maybe among the three families with whom she is partnered, there is a man who has an affair with her, or both of them have an affair with her, I am afraid that Zhao Junyi will find out, unite those two lovers, and give Zhao Junyi something .
For the imagination of these people, Li Kongzhu has no time to care about it. Now she goes to the south of Beishan every day to see how the snow is melting.
Because it was today, after seeing the branches of the tree body began to change color, I touched it with my fingers.Seeing that the fingertips were stained with greenery, I thought that it would be almost the same in two days.
I walked down Beishan with my hands behind my back, and when I walked towards the village, I met many villagers who were looking at Mai Miao'er.
Those who wanted to work at her house naturally greeted them warmly.For those who didn't get their turn, it was inevitable that their mouths would be pursed in secret.
Li Diaozhu faced all these with a smile.
When passing by a small detour, he unexpectedly ran into Yun Shi who had come to wash fruit at home before.When she saw Li Kongzhu, she stepped forward with a smile and greeted him first.
Li Kongzhu nodded to her in response, and called back, "Sister-in-law."
Listening to her reply, Yun replied happily, thinking that her man would go to her to work in two days.I thought to myself, I have to tell her something.
While thinking about it, he walked over, "Look at you coming down from that mountain, do you want to chop firewood? If you want firewood, just say hello, your Shanzi brother is fine now, help cut this bundle But two quarters of an hour will be fine."
"It's not necessary, I went to see the land."
"Look at the ground?"
"Yeah." Li Kongzhu smiled and pointed to the mountainous area of Nanshan, "It's the peach forest. I'm wondering how long it will take to open up."
Yun Shi was surprised, she never thought that she still has such leisure.
Looked around, and then said in a low voice: "There are some bad rumors in the village these days, what are you going to do on weekdays, you'd better find some people to accompany you, otherwise, those gangsters You're a bit of a spoiler, but you never think it's a big deal when you watch the excitement."
"I know." Li Kongzhu thanked her for her kindness.In fact, Mai Ya'er came to accompany her almost every day these days, because she was afraid that those rumors would hurt her and make it difficult for her to do things.
She didn't care, anyway, she mentioned it to Mrs. Wang, saying that Zhao Junyi took a good job in Fucheng and wanted to break into the world or something, but he would be back in a few days, so the rumors would not attack self-defeating.
If the rumors got worse and worse, it would be better to let Chen Baisheng come out to help suppress it, and Wang Shi, with her here, as the wife of the head of the village, it would not be difficult to train those wretched women.
Seeing that she didn't care too much, Mrs. Yun couldn't help being curious, "Where did Third Brother Zhao go? Why haven't I seen him these days?"
Li Kongzhu was funny in his heart, even if he was at home, these people might not be able to see him often.In the final analysis, it was the person who secretly kept a close eye on their family and told them the secret.
"There is a single job in Fucheng. He will take it over. I'm afraid he will have to wait for a while to come back. In two days, I'm planning to go to Fucheng again and ask him how his job is going. If he can finish it, Then we can come back together.”
"Does he work?"
"Ah~" Ignoring her surprise, Li Kongzhu didn't intend to explain further, "I'll be back anyway, let's spread the word as you like in the village. Sister-in-law, I still have things to do, so I'm leaving first."
Seeing this, Mrs. Yun knew it was not good to ask more questions, and after waving her hand to say goodbye to her, she was still flustered.
Can someone like Zhao Junyi still work?Just thinking about it makes me feel strange.
Back home, Li Kongzhu stepped on the padded stones and crossed the muddy courtyard.
Because the sun was shining right now, the dripping drops of water under the eaves kept hitting the ground like rain.
Every time it hits, the mud pit sinks, and the sludge gradually rises, causing the shoes of passers-by to be splashed from time to time.
Just like the current Li Kongzhu, looking at the clean shoes he just put on today with a sigh.Due to walking all the way, thick mud accumulated on the soles of the shoes, and even the uppers of the shoes are now stained with small flowers.
Stomped the mud on the stones.After returning to the house, she began to take out the stool and put it under the eaves. With the needle basket in hand, she started to make spring clothes.
When Mai Ya'er came, it was already noon, and today she brought a bowl of stewed meat at home.
When the door was called, Li Kongzhu just sewed the last stitch on a sapphire blue men's spring coat.
Seeing her, he quickly put out his needle and thread and came out to meet her.
"It's inconvenient for you now, why do you dare to walk like this? This place is slippery, so be careful."
"It's okay! I'm strong." She followed into the courtyard with a smile, handed her the bowl, and walked towards the stool on the eaves.
Sitting on the stool, she picked up the spring clothes she sewed to look at, and smiled, "Sister-in-law, your craftsmanship is really getting better and better now, look, there is not even a place where there is a pleat. Mile."
"Just make fun of me!" Looking at her reproachfully, Li Kongzhu went to the kitchen to get an empty bowl, handed it to her and said, "But have you eaten yet?"
Mai Ya'er smiled and stood up to take it, "No, I just finished it, thinking it would be difficult for you to cook at home alone, so I brought the whole bowl here."
"Then let's go back to eat quickly! I still have two steamed buns left this morning, so it's really fast."
"OK!"
As she said that, she really stepped up and walked out of the courtyard.Li Kongzhu followed her off, but when she got to the door, she heard her say again: "The person in charge of the house said that the foundation can be dug here, and I thought Xia Xiang would gather the people who are going to work first. I have to go to the town to find brother-in-law Li, let him invite the craftsmen, and start work tomorrow."
"Okay!" Li Kongzhu nodded and thought for a while, "What else do I have to do besides cooking?"
"What else can there be?" Mai Ya'er gave her a look with a smile, and then seemed to remember, "Oh yes, I still have to help lift the first shovel."
"understood!"
After sending away Mai Ya'er, Li Kongzhu warmed up the steamed buns, took the meat and vegetables he brought, casually fooled around, and went out to Zhao Mengzi's house.
At that time only Lin and Mai Ya'er were at home, Zhao Mengzi went to the town to find Li Chong, and Zhao Hanshi went to inform the people in the village who were going to work, and tomorrow's official work began.
Li Kongzhu discussed with the two about cooking.
The meat dishes that were agreed at the beginning must be fulfilled, and Li Diaozhu didn't want to be fooled and just threw a few slices, thinking that he must eat well.
Mrs. Lin felt sorry for the money, and felt that if it was really good for these people, the money would not be able to bear it.
"Eat well, those people will be motivated. Seeing that the master's house is so good, you have to be more careful in your work. Auntie, do you think it makes sense?"
"Although it's so reasonable..." Mrs. Lin was embarrassed, "But we don't have much money, and besides, everyone repaired the house in the past. It's just a matter of fooling around, and we don't see anyone's house. Mile."
Seeing her mother-in-law like this, Mai Ya'er secretly winked at Li Kongzhu.
Li Kongzhu didn't want to argue too much with him, so he just said, "If my aunt thinks it costs money or something, I will pay for the meat and vegetables. My aunt just takes care of the vegetable money and the average distribution of rice for each family. good!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Lin has no reason not to agree. Although she feels bad, she is still reluctant to pay more money.
Afterwards, the few people talked about where to cook, and they all thought that Chen Baisheng's old house was very good, and it was close to the construction site.Lease it at that time, and after the completion of the work, give a few more money, which will be regarded as the occupancy fee.
After negotiating, Li Kongzhu was going to talk to Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Lin said that her family had saved some food last year, enough for a few days, so she decided not to buy food for the time being.
Hearing this, Li Kongzhu smiled and said that she would buy another rice for the same number of days after her rice was finished.
Seeing that she didn't share the money equally, Mrs. Lin felt a little displeased.It was Mai Ya'er who called, "Mother-in-law." After that, she stopped her.
After finishing the work, Mai Ya'er sent her out and apologized to her, "Sister-in-law, don't bother with my mother-in-law, I will give you the meat money in private in the future."
"It's just some meat, it's okay."
"That's impossible! It should be clear, and it should be clear."
Li Kongzhu knew he couldn't beat her, so he didn't force him, he just said that he had to go to Wang Shi, so he left.
When I came to Wang's, I told her about borrowing the pot from the old house.
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang readily agreed. Seeing this, Li Kongzhu invited her to help with the cooking, saying that she would give her 25 cents a day.
For Wang, this is naturally a happy answer.
Later, Li Kongzhu also planned to find the villagers to buy grain, "Now that spring is coming, the new grain is coming soon. I thought, instead of going to the town to buy it, it is better to buy the villagers' own. Don't worry, it can also make people feel happy. Those who want to sell food can also save some travel expenses."
"It's not difficult. I'll go and ask for you in a while." Mrs. Wang asked her to rest assured and just leave it to her.
Li Kongzhu wanted to go with her.
Seeing this, Mrs. Wang naturally agreed, but she thought in her heart that she might want to use this to silence some people in the village.
It's what Wang Shi said.
The few families that Li Diaozhu asked Wang to take to buy grain were the ones who love to break their mouths, or the ones who didn't get a job.
When she went to these people's houses, she would talk together. Although these people said a few sour words on the surface, most of them were still willing to sell.
Seeing this, Li Kongzhu said again that he wanted to collect the ground ones, saying that he would pick them up in three days, and that the ground ones would be paid an extra two pennies.For fear of breaking her promise, she also paid a deposit.
When these people listened to her, there was no reason why they disagreed, especially those who were thin-skinned and followed her, and they all apologized in a dark and embarrassed manner.
Li Kongzhu didn't care about it, he just said that his man had been away for a long time, but there was no other way, the business in Fucheng was important, since he wanted to make a breakthrough, he let him have a look, and he also said that he had to go to Fucheng for a while. If you go for a trip or something, you might be able to go home with me at that time.
When everyone saw what she said, they all believed it.
What's more, he even began to scold the rumor-monger angrily, "Ms. Zheng, I was skeptical and uneasy. Fortunately, I didn't believe it."
Saying that, he quickly changed his smiling face and told Li Kongzhu not to take it to heart.
Li Kongzhu smiled and said no.
After returning from those houses, the woman is in a better mood than ever before. You know, if these slanderous rumors are temporarily dealt with, there will be another twisted rumor in the village tomorrow.
Wang gave her a thumbs up, "This group of people, if there are benefits, they can be said to be alive."
Li Diaozhu heard it funny, stayed at Wang's house for a while, and went with her to pick up Li Jingzhe and the others.
In the evening, when he was about to have dinner, Zhao Mengzi asked his mother to come over and tell the time when the ground was broken tomorrow.
"It's the second quarter of Chen Shi, don't forget it!" When Lin finished explaining that he was going to leave, he said again worriedly.
"Hey, I know Second Aunt!"
Li Diaozhu waved her goodbye with a smile, and when he turned around, he saw Li Jingzhe was standing on the eaves waiting for her.
Walking over, he grabbed his little bun's head, "Eldest sister is going to build a big house, and I'll leave you a spacious one, are you happy?"
"I'm happy!" Li Jingzhe nodded her head and lifted the curtain to let her into the house, "I just don't know when my brother-in-law will come back? Will he wait until the house is built and he hasn't come back yet."
"Nonsense, how can we wait so long?"
Li Kongzhu's voice of reproach drifted out, and when he entered the room for dinner, he found that his heart was starting to feel a little restless...
When the ground was broken the next day, Li Kongzhu handed over all the clues to Zhao Mengzi and Li Chong to help sort out after the first shovel.
With the addition of Hui Niang from the kitchen, the number of cooks increased to four.
Li Kongzhu was in charge of the meat and vegetables, and went to Lincun's pig butcher early in the morning to order meat.In order not to be troublesome, I would go every day in the future, so I set a time with the pig butcher, and asked him to come here every day when he sells meat, and he will be responsible for delivering the meat directly.
On this first day, for the first meal, Li Diaozhu wanted to make white flour meat buns.
Lin's body ached from listening to it, and she shook her head and said no.If Mrs. Wang got impatient and asked her to do it separately, she said that it was built separately anyway, and it will be seen if people will say that she is stingy.
Lin was forced to do nothing, so she didn't want to admit her stinginess, she yelled that she had a lot of money and didn't care about such a small amount of money.
As soon as these words came out, Wang's heart was a little dissatisfied.
Li Kongzhu was afraid that the matter would become a big problem, so he quickly smoothed things over a few times before exposing the matter to the past.
The first day of work was not very exciting, but the meat buns Li Kongzhu and the others steamed were really heavy and full of meat.
This made some people who hadn't entered the state all morning feel a little embarrassed to come.When the ringing sounded, everyone began to become serious and gradually entered the state.
When the day's work was over and it was time to pay the wages, Li Diaozhu took the copper plates that had been strung together and followed him to the work place.
I paid everyone their wages one by one, and I thought about giving a reward for good performance or something, but I looked at Zhao Mengzi who was still paying wages over there, so I restrained myself and didn't do it!
When I went back in the evening, the hot ones were the leftovers from Xiangwu.
After the two siblings ate in silence, they washed themselves again and didn't talk about it.
Into early March.The snow water is completely melted, and the ground is no longer wet.There are also green grasses on the side of the road at the top of the mountain.
Li Diaozhu got the news that Li Jingzhe was on vacation, and on the first day, he handed over the cooking to Mrs. Wang, and asked her to help find a capable wife to replace her, and she would pay the wages.
She also went to the town to find Hui Niang, and told her about going to Lingyun Temple in Fucheng again.
Hui Niang didn't expect that she would go to Lingyun Temple, so she couldn't help but smile and asked her if she had figured it out and planned to donate some more sesame oil money.
Li Kongzhu could hear the dark lines on his face, but he confessed to her about the fight.
"Now that it's getting warmer, it's a good time for flowering and sprouting. I want to try it. If it succeeds, the future prospects are immeasurable!"
After hearing this, Hui Niang looked at her with a crazy expression on her face and said: "If I heard correctly, you just said that you were going to graft the peach tree branch from Lingyun Temple to the sour peach tree? "
"Yup!"
She nodded affirmatively, causing Hui Niang to blurt out and ask: "Are you okay?" She even reached out to touch her forehead.
Li Kongzhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and shook his head again and again, "I'm fine, I just wanted to do this." Seeing that she wanted to refute, she hurriedly said: "You also know that I've been reading some books on farming and planting recently. Although the book doesn’t talk about how to connect it, there are a few lines mentioned in it. I thought, anyway, the sour peach is useless, so I will try it, and the loss is only a little money, but if it succeeds , but a huge benefit.”
Hui Niang still didn't quite believe it, but was made to hesitate by her next sentence.
"The first person to eat crabs has never been favored, but often, the first person to eat is the first person to taste the sweetness. The further you go, the less worthwhile you are."
"But if it succeeds, will there be more robbers?" Hui Niang agreed with this, but she had another worry.You have to know that if you only focus on the heat, if you really succeed, there are people who are much richer and more powerful than them, how will you protect them then?
The example of the Qi Mansion has not been there for a long time!
Li Kongzhu shook his head, "I don't care about this matter, let's test my two acres of land first, and then I will figure out a way."
Last time in Fucheng, Zhao Junyi said that she was asked to do whatever she wanted.At that time, she thought he was sick, but now that she thinks about it seriously, she is afraid that he is already capable of protecting her.
I thought in my heart that when he came back, I had to ask him about this matter.
Although Hui Niang over there disagreed a little after hearing this, she couldn't stop being moved.
After thinking about it, he finally nodded, "Sure! I'll accompany you on a walk some time. Anyway, there's no business now!"
"Well, since it's agreed, we will leave tomorrow, do you think so?"
"to make!"
After getting her affirmative answer, Li Kongzhu decided to live in the town, thinking about going to Fucheng early tomorrow.
Hui Niang also agreed, and Li Chong sent her back to the village to get ready.After Xia Xiang picked up Li Jingzhe and Jiwa, she brought the two children directly to the town.
In the evening, Li Kongzhu and Hui Niang rested in a small shop, while Jiwa and the others followed Li Chong to his friend's house.
When the city gate was about to open the next day, the group of people couldn't wait to get into the donkey cart with a shed, and Li Chong drove the cart towards the outside of the city...
(End of this chapter)
Since he made an appointment with Zhao Junyi, Li Kongzhu felt at ease for the time being.
I have also been to Lingyun Temple, and now I only need to come back when the snow melts.
Hawthorn is currently out of production. After returning home, I have to prepare another house building ceremony, so after the beginning of spring, I am afraid that I will be very busy.
Li Chong went to check out early in the morning, while she and Hui Niang started to pack all the things they brought and put them on the donkey cart.
When Li Chong came back, the group headed back towards Huancheng Town.
Back to the town after dark, spent the night at Hui Niang's place in the town, until the next day, the group arrived at the village leisurely.
Mai Ya'er took the key and helped to burn the kang every day. When they met up at Li Kongzhu's house, the room didn't seem too cold.
A group of people sat on the kang and went to Fucheng to earn money and share the bill.
A total of 360 taels of silver were distributed to Li Kongzhu with more than 120 taels.
Seeing that she got a little less, Hui Niang forced her to make up the whole thing.Holding 130 taels of silver, Li Kongzhu declined but had no choice but to accept it.
"It's just right, I have to go to Fucheng after a few days." Starting from yesterday, some places have already started to melt the snow. If the sun is bright these days, the land will pop up in a blink of an eye. up.
Hui Niang knew that she must have plans, but when she thought of her trip to the temple in Fucheng, she couldn't help joking: "If you go to Fucheng again, do you still have to go to Lingyun Temple? If you go, I'm afraid you should bring more sesame oil Money."
Li Kongzhu made a black line, but what he thought was that when he went back next time, he had to wait until the negotiation was settled before taking out the money, otherwise with the old man's smiling face, he was really afraid of a second time.
Mai Ya'er was curious about what was going on, Hui Niang couldn't help telling her about it.
After she finished listening, she nodded seriously, "I can't even look forward to the words of the eminent monk. Although I donated a little more money, my sister-in-law's luck will be smooth in the future."
Li Kongzhu snorted, if it was so easy to use, it wouldn't be so hard. If everyone went to pray to God and worship Buddha, wouldn't it be faster to get money?
Although I was thinking like this, it was hard to say it, so I quickly changed the subject and said: "It looks like the snow is starting to melt, and when the land softens, we can build a house. When are you going to start construction?"
These words were first addressed to Mai Ya'er.After hearing this, she nodded her head and said: "I am also thinking about this matter, thinking about going to the brick kiln to get the bricks and tiles first, and then talking about the gravel for the foundation. In short, I have to make sufficient preparations in advance. Mile."
Li Kongzhu also nodded, "When will I go, brother Mengzi let me know, I'm going to start preparing."
There is no man in the family for the time being, and she has to take care of everything by herself.
"Hey, what's the matter? At that time, I will let my head of the house help me to set it up together. As for pulling gravel and so on, my sister-in-law can just leave it to him? There are craftsmen who specialize in stone breaking. Buy His stones will be delivered to your door." Although I don't know why Third Brother Zhao went to Fucheng and didn't follow him back, but since he wants to repair the house, with the relationship between the two families, it is also necessary to help each other all the way. .
Hui Niang followed suit and said, "It's the off-season now, anyway, the grocery business in the town is not doing well, so I'll ask the head of the family to help. He walks around all the year round, help It is still possible to find a good craftsman."
"Thank you very much!" It's good to have someone to help, otherwise she will really be blind because she doesn't understand.
"What's the matter!"
The other two women stared at her reproachfully, and then said that sooner rather than later.They all thought about talking to their men after going back for a while.
Mai Ya'er said that the one in her family can go to the brick kiln and visit the quarry directly from tomorrow.
Hui Niang said that the one in her family can go to say hello to the familiar craftsman first, and as soon as the freeze is thawed, he can come here as soon as possible.
While chatting and laughing, Xiang Wu and everyone helped cook together again. After eating, they were afraid that she would accompany her lonely until it was time for Xia Xiang Li Jingzhe to finish school, so they left home.
Li Kongzhu, who sent them away, looked at the room that suddenly became quiet.After thinking about it, he took out two wrapped gift boxes, locked the door, and headed towards Wang's house.
At that time, Mrs. Wang was preparing to pick up her grandson from school, and when she saw her, she was very happy, "I heard that you are back, and I planned to look for you tomorrow after you have recuperated, but didn't you?" Cheng Xiang, since he came here first."
Li Kongzhu smiled and handed over the gift box, "I, the junior, should have come first. I didn't come during the day, so I rushed at this time. Auntie, please don't blame me."
"Where are you talking?" Wang looked at her reproachfully, pushed the gift box twice pretendingly, and put it away.
"It's just right for you to come at this time. Seeing that this student is about to leave school, hurry up and follow me to meet him. Although the boys are not afraid, the sky is not too long after all, so I am worried."
"That's the truth."
Li Kongzhu smiled and encouraged her to go out together. On the way, Mrs. Wang asked her about going to Fucheng. After knowing that Shanzhafangzi was asked to leave by a rich family in Fucheng, she was very surprised, "How often?" Then you won’t have to sell it?”
"That's not true." Li Kongzhu smiled, "It can also be sold, but the income is less. This is how business is. It's better to have something to do than to have nothing to do."
"It's such a rationale." Wang Shi laughed dryly, thinking that she had sent another sum of money to Fucheng this time, but she didn't expect it, since someone caught her.
well!It's really not easy to mess around in this world.
When the two were approaching Liushu Village, they ran into Erwazi who had come back from school.
Jiwa loves to run and jump as always, walking in front, and she was the first to see them.
From a distance, I heard him shouting behind him, "Brother Jingzhe, Brother Jingzhe, your eldest sister is here~~"
"This kid, you've never been safe." Wang Shi laughed on the sidelines.
Li Kongzhu also smiled a few times.
After hearing Jiwa's shout, Li Jingzhe was stunned for a while, and then ran quickly in the next second.
When he rushed in front of Jiwa, he pointed to the two people who were getting closer and said: "Look, I didn't lie, your eldest sister is really here."
"Big sister~" Li Jingzhe grinned and rushed towards her.
Li Diaozhu told him to slow down, and when he got close, he couldn't help touching his little head, "Why are you running so fast? It's not good to drink too much cold wind."
"It's all right!" The boy looked at her with a smile and asked, "Elder Sister, when did you come back?"
"I arrived yesterday, but the gate of the town was closed early, so I have to wait until today before I can leave the city. I will go back to my home in the morning." He greeted several people and walked home.
Jiwa over there asked if he had bought any delicious food, which made Wang laugh and curse and wanted to chase him and beat him.Li Jingzhe started to ask questions, the most important thing was to be curious about what Fucheng looks like.
"When the husband is on vacation, the eldest sister is also free, so I will take you there."
"Really?"
"Really!" Looking at his big bright eyes, Li Kongzhu smiled fondly. "Sis, when did you not keep what you said?"
"No!" The kid jumped up and down happily, imitating Jiwa and running forward, and he also showed off to Jiwa that he would go to Fucheng in the future.
After Jiwa heard this, she began to insist that Wang should follow.
Wang Zuo wanted to shout, but Li Kongzhu stopped him with a smile, "Let's go together!"
"Okay!" Before Wang Shi could reply, Jiwa also cheered and began to jump forward and run away.
Mrs. Wang was very helpless, "I have to scold him when I go back."
"Auntie, I mean it."
Li Kongzhu turned around and smiled at her, Wang's eyes flashed.Then he smiled and nodded again and again, "It really made this kid feel good."
……
Go back to the village to help Li Jingzhe, get back from Mai Ya'er what he put there these days.
When the two returned home, Li Kongzhu simply made noodles with eggs and stewed noodles at night.
After eating, Li Jingzhe practiced big characters with a pen in the hut here. From time to time, she looked up at the eldest sister who was making clothes under the dim butter lamp.
"Sister, is my brother-in-law?"
The hand that was doing the needlework paused, and the next moment, the woman took the tip of the needle and stroked the scalp lightly, "Your brother-in-law is busy, and he won't come back until a while, so don't worry about him."
"Oh!" As he said that, the boy bowed his head again and began to practice calligraphy.
But Li Kongzhu stopped, started to sew without any intention, sat there, looked at the oil lamp, and started to be dazed...
Along with the sun that has been out for several days, the snow that has been accumulated throughout the winter has also begun to slowly change into water and soak into the land in these days.
The winter wheat that has survived the winter is gradually showing its head, adding a little greenness to the gray earth.
There have been rumors going on in the village chief these days, mainly around the two families.
For example, the two families of Zhao Mengzi and Li Kongzhu are about to start building a house. These days, Zhao Mengzi has gone to the brick kiln to fix bricks and tiles.I also bought the gravel for the foundation and the stone slabs for the floor.
Now on the plotted land of the two families, several carts of stones have been brought back, and they are all placed there.
Looking at this posture, some people guessed that the old house was about to be repaired.Those who were thoughtful began to come to the door one after another and asked whether the two families were laborers to do work.
Regarding these matters, Li Kongzhu handed over the management to Zhao Mengzi, and asked him to find some capable and honest people in the village.The set wages were negotiated by the two families. According to the general public, forty yuan a day includes a meal, but compared with going to the town or other places, the meal must include meat.
As for those who wanted to apply for handicraft jobs or big jobs, they were directly rejected, saying that they had already found a job.
Because of this incident, although it helped some people, it also offended some people.
Those who are lazy and want to pick up cheap things but fail to pick up good ones will inevitably speak bitter words.
Among these bitter words, Zhao Junyi's matter bears the brunt.
After all, it has been many days, since they came back from Fucheng, they have not seen Zhao Junyi.
Some people in the village began to say that Zhao Junyi was afraid of suffering, and what's more, rumors were spread about Li Kongzhu's indiscretion.What to say, maybe among the three families with whom she is partnered, there is a man who has an affair with her, or both of them have an affair with her, I am afraid that Zhao Junyi will find out, unite those two lovers, and give Zhao Junyi something .
For the imagination of these people, Li Kongzhu has no time to care about it. Now she goes to the south of Beishan every day to see how the snow is melting.
Because it was today, after seeing the branches of the tree body began to change color, I touched it with my fingers.Seeing that the fingertips were stained with greenery, I thought that it would be almost the same in two days.
I walked down Beishan with my hands behind my back, and when I walked towards the village, I met many villagers who were looking at Mai Miao'er.
Those who wanted to work at her house naturally greeted them warmly.For those who didn't get their turn, it was inevitable that their mouths would be pursed in secret.
Li Diaozhu faced all these with a smile.
When passing by a small detour, he unexpectedly ran into Yun Shi who had come to wash fruit at home before.When she saw Li Kongzhu, she stepped forward with a smile and greeted him first.
Li Kongzhu nodded to her in response, and called back, "Sister-in-law."
Listening to her reply, Yun replied happily, thinking that her man would go to her to work in two days.I thought to myself, I have to tell her something.
While thinking about it, he walked over, "Look at you coming down from that mountain, do you want to chop firewood? If you want firewood, just say hello, your Shanzi brother is fine now, help cut this bundle But two quarters of an hour will be fine."
"It's not necessary, I went to see the land."
"Look at the ground?"
"Yeah." Li Kongzhu smiled and pointed to the mountainous area of Nanshan, "It's the peach forest. I'm wondering how long it will take to open up."
Yun Shi was surprised, she never thought that she still has such leisure.
Looked around, and then said in a low voice: "There are some bad rumors in the village these days, what are you going to do on weekdays, you'd better find some people to accompany you, otherwise, those gangsters You're a bit of a spoiler, but you never think it's a big deal when you watch the excitement."
"I know." Li Kongzhu thanked her for her kindness.In fact, Mai Ya'er came to accompany her almost every day these days, because she was afraid that those rumors would hurt her and make it difficult for her to do things.
She didn't care, anyway, she mentioned it to Mrs. Wang, saying that Zhao Junyi took a good job in Fucheng and wanted to break into the world or something, but he would be back in a few days, so the rumors would not attack self-defeating.
If the rumors got worse and worse, it would be better to let Chen Baisheng come out to help suppress it, and Wang Shi, with her here, as the wife of the head of the village, it would not be difficult to train those wretched women.
Seeing that she didn't care too much, Mrs. Yun couldn't help being curious, "Where did Third Brother Zhao go? Why haven't I seen him these days?"
Li Kongzhu was funny in his heart, even if he was at home, these people might not be able to see him often.In the final analysis, it was the person who secretly kept a close eye on their family and told them the secret.
"There is a single job in Fucheng. He will take it over. I'm afraid he will have to wait for a while to come back. In two days, I'm planning to go to Fucheng again and ask him how his job is going. If he can finish it, Then we can come back together.”
"Does he work?"
"Ah~" Ignoring her surprise, Li Kongzhu didn't intend to explain further, "I'll be back anyway, let's spread the word as you like in the village. Sister-in-law, I still have things to do, so I'm leaving first."
Seeing this, Mrs. Yun knew it was not good to ask more questions, and after waving her hand to say goodbye to her, she was still flustered.
Can someone like Zhao Junyi still work?Just thinking about it makes me feel strange.
Back home, Li Kongzhu stepped on the padded stones and crossed the muddy courtyard.
Because the sun was shining right now, the dripping drops of water under the eaves kept hitting the ground like rain.
Every time it hits, the mud pit sinks, and the sludge gradually rises, causing the shoes of passers-by to be splashed from time to time.
Just like the current Li Kongzhu, looking at the clean shoes he just put on today with a sigh.Due to walking all the way, thick mud accumulated on the soles of the shoes, and even the uppers of the shoes are now stained with small flowers.
Stomped the mud on the stones.After returning to the house, she began to take out the stool and put it under the eaves. With the needle basket in hand, she started to make spring clothes.
When Mai Ya'er came, it was already noon, and today she brought a bowl of stewed meat at home.
When the door was called, Li Kongzhu just sewed the last stitch on a sapphire blue men's spring coat.
Seeing her, he quickly put out his needle and thread and came out to meet her.
"It's inconvenient for you now, why do you dare to walk like this? This place is slippery, so be careful."
"It's okay! I'm strong." She followed into the courtyard with a smile, handed her the bowl, and walked towards the stool on the eaves.
Sitting on the stool, she picked up the spring clothes she sewed to look at, and smiled, "Sister-in-law, your craftsmanship is really getting better and better now, look, there is not even a place where there is a pleat. Mile."
"Just make fun of me!" Looking at her reproachfully, Li Kongzhu went to the kitchen to get an empty bowl, handed it to her and said, "But have you eaten yet?"
Mai Ya'er smiled and stood up to take it, "No, I just finished it, thinking it would be difficult for you to cook at home alone, so I brought the whole bowl here."
"Then let's go back to eat quickly! I still have two steamed buns left this morning, so it's really fast."
"OK!"
As she said that, she really stepped up and walked out of the courtyard.Li Kongzhu followed her off, but when she got to the door, she heard her say again: "The person in charge of the house said that the foundation can be dug here, and I thought Xia Xiang would gather the people who are going to work first. I have to go to the town to find brother-in-law Li, let him invite the craftsmen, and start work tomorrow."
"Okay!" Li Kongzhu nodded and thought for a while, "What else do I have to do besides cooking?"
"What else can there be?" Mai Ya'er gave her a look with a smile, and then seemed to remember, "Oh yes, I still have to help lift the first shovel."
"understood!"
After sending away Mai Ya'er, Li Kongzhu warmed up the steamed buns, took the meat and vegetables he brought, casually fooled around, and went out to Zhao Mengzi's house.
At that time only Lin and Mai Ya'er were at home, Zhao Mengzi went to the town to find Li Chong, and Zhao Hanshi went to inform the people in the village who were going to work, and tomorrow's official work began.
Li Kongzhu discussed with the two about cooking.
The meat dishes that were agreed at the beginning must be fulfilled, and Li Diaozhu didn't want to be fooled and just threw a few slices, thinking that he must eat well.
Mrs. Lin felt sorry for the money, and felt that if it was really good for these people, the money would not be able to bear it.
"Eat well, those people will be motivated. Seeing that the master's house is so good, you have to be more careful in your work. Auntie, do you think it makes sense?"
"Although it's so reasonable..." Mrs. Lin was embarrassed, "But we don't have much money, and besides, everyone repaired the house in the past. It's just a matter of fooling around, and we don't see anyone's house. Mile."
Seeing her mother-in-law like this, Mai Ya'er secretly winked at Li Kongzhu.
Li Kongzhu didn't want to argue too much with him, so he just said, "If my aunt thinks it costs money or something, I will pay for the meat and vegetables. My aunt just takes care of the vegetable money and the average distribution of rice for each family. good!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Lin has no reason not to agree. Although she feels bad, she is still reluctant to pay more money.
Afterwards, the few people talked about where to cook, and they all thought that Chen Baisheng's old house was very good, and it was close to the construction site.Lease it at that time, and after the completion of the work, give a few more money, which will be regarded as the occupancy fee.
After negotiating, Li Kongzhu was going to talk to Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Lin said that her family had saved some food last year, enough for a few days, so she decided not to buy food for the time being.
Hearing this, Li Kongzhu smiled and said that she would buy another rice for the same number of days after her rice was finished.
Seeing that she didn't share the money equally, Mrs. Lin felt a little displeased.It was Mai Ya'er who called, "Mother-in-law." After that, she stopped her.
After finishing the work, Mai Ya'er sent her out and apologized to her, "Sister-in-law, don't bother with my mother-in-law, I will give you the meat money in private in the future."
"It's just some meat, it's okay."
"That's impossible! It should be clear, and it should be clear."
Li Kongzhu knew he couldn't beat her, so he didn't force him, he just said that he had to go to Wang Shi, so he left.
When I came to Wang's, I told her about borrowing the pot from the old house.
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang readily agreed. Seeing this, Li Kongzhu invited her to help with the cooking, saying that she would give her 25 cents a day.
For Wang, this is naturally a happy answer.
Later, Li Kongzhu also planned to find the villagers to buy grain, "Now that spring is coming, the new grain is coming soon. I thought, instead of going to the town to buy it, it is better to buy the villagers' own. Don't worry, it can also make people feel happy. Those who want to sell food can also save some travel expenses."
"It's not difficult. I'll go and ask for you in a while." Mrs. Wang asked her to rest assured and just leave it to her.
Li Kongzhu wanted to go with her.
Seeing this, Mrs. Wang naturally agreed, but she thought in her heart that she might want to use this to silence some people in the village.
It's what Wang Shi said.
The few families that Li Diaozhu asked Wang to take to buy grain were the ones who love to break their mouths, or the ones who didn't get a job.
When she went to these people's houses, she would talk together. Although these people said a few sour words on the surface, most of them were still willing to sell.
Seeing this, Li Kongzhu said again that he wanted to collect the ground ones, saying that he would pick them up in three days, and that the ground ones would be paid an extra two pennies.For fear of breaking her promise, she also paid a deposit.
When these people listened to her, there was no reason why they disagreed, especially those who were thin-skinned and followed her, and they all apologized in a dark and embarrassed manner.
Li Kongzhu didn't care about it, he just said that his man had been away for a long time, but there was no other way, the business in Fucheng was important, since he wanted to make a breakthrough, he let him have a look, and he also said that he had to go to Fucheng for a while. If you go for a trip or something, you might be able to go home with me at that time.
When everyone saw what she said, they all believed it.
What's more, he even began to scold the rumor-monger angrily, "Ms. Zheng, I was skeptical and uneasy. Fortunately, I didn't believe it."
Saying that, he quickly changed his smiling face and told Li Kongzhu not to take it to heart.
Li Kongzhu smiled and said no.
After returning from those houses, the woman is in a better mood than ever before. You know, if these slanderous rumors are temporarily dealt with, there will be another twisted rumor in the village tomorrow.
Wang gave her a thumbs up, "This group of people, if there are benefits, they can be said to be alive."
Li Diaozhu heard it funny, stayed at Wang's house for a while, and went with her to pick up Li Jingzhe and the others.
In the evening, when he was about to have dinner, Zhao Mengzi asked his mother to come over and tell the time when the ground was broken tomorrow.
"It's the second quarter of Chen Shi, don't forget it!" When Lin finished explaining that he was going to leave, he said again worriedly.
"Hey, I know Second Aunt!"
Li Diaozhu waved her goodbye with a smile, and when he turned around, he saw Li Jingzhe was standing on the eaves waiting for her.
Walking over, he grabbed his little bun's head, "Eldest sister is going to build a big house, and I'll leave you a spacious one, are you happy?"
"I'm happy!" Li Jingzhe nodded her head and lifted the curtain to let her into the house, "I just don't know when my brother-in-law will come back? Will he wait until the house is built and he hasn't come back yet."
"Nonsense, how can we wait so long?"
Li Kongzhu's voice of reproach drifted out, and when he entered the room for dinner, he found that his heart was starting to feel a little restless...
When the ground was broken the next day, Li Kongzhu handed over all the clues to Zhao Mengzi and Li Chong to help sort out after the first shovel.
With the addition of Hui Niang from the kitchen, the number of cooks increased to four.
Li Kongzhu was in charge of the meat and vegetables, and went to Lincun's pig butcher early in the morning to order meat.In order not to be troublesome, I would go every day in the future, so I set a time with the pig butcher, and asked him to come here every day when he sells meat, and he will be responsible for delivering the meat directly.
On this first day, for the first meal, Li Diaozhu wanted to make white flour meat buns.
Lin's body ached from listening to it, and she shook her head and said no.If Mrs. Wang got impatient and asked her to do it separately, she said that it was built separately anyway, and it will be seen if people will say that she is stingy.
Lin was forced to do nothing, so she didn't want to admit her stinginess, she yelled that she had a lot of money and didn't care about such a small amount of money.
As soon as these words came out, Wang's heart was a little dissatisfied.
Li Kongzhu was afraid that the matter would become a big problem, so he quickly smoothed things over a few times before exposing the matter to the past.
The first day of work was not very exciting, but the meat buns Li Kongzhu and the others steamed were really heavy and full of meat.
This made some people who hadn't entered the state all morning feel a little embarrassed to come.When the ringing sounded, everyone began to become serious and gradually entered the state.
When the day's work was over and it was time to pay the wages, Li Diaozhu took the copper plates that had been strung together and followed him to the work place.
I paid everyone their wages one by one, and I thought about giving a reward for good performance or something, but I looked at Zhao Mengzi who was still paying wages over there, so I restrained myself and didn't do it!
When I went back in the evening, the hot ones were the leftovers from Xiangwu.
After the two siblings ate in silence, they washed themselves again and didn't talk about it.
Into early March.The snow water is completely melted, and the ground is no longer wet.There are also green grasses on the side of the road at the top of the mountain.
Li Diaozhu got the news that Li Jingzhe was on vacation, and on the first day, he handed over the cooking to Mrs. Wang, and asked her to help find a capable wife to replace her, and she would pay the wages.
She also went to the town to find Hui Niang, and told her about going to Lingyun Temple in Fucheng again.
Hui Niang didn't expect that she would go to Lingyun Temple, so she couldn't help but smile and asked her if she had figured it out and planned to donate some more sesame oil money.
Li Kongzhu could hear the dark lines on his face, but he confessed to her about the fight.
"Now that it's getting warmer, it's a good time for flowering and sprouting. I want to try it. If it succeeds, the future prospects are immeasurable!"
After hearing this, Hui Niang looked at her with a crazy expression on her face and said: "If I heard correctly, you just said that you were going to graft the peach tree branch from Lingyun Temple to the sour peach tree? "
"Yup!"
She nodded affirmatively, causing Hui Niang to blurt out and ask: "Are you okay?" She even reached out to touch her forehead.
Li Kongzhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and shook his head again and again, "I'm fine, I just wanted to do this." Seeing that she wanted to refute, she hurriedly said: "You also know that I've been reading some books on farming and planting recently. Although the book doesn’t talk about how to connect it, there are a few lines mentioned in it. I thought, anyway, the sour peach is useless, so I will try it, and the loss is only a little money, but if it succeeds , but a huge benefit.”
Hui Niang still didn't quite believe it, but was made to hesitate by her next sentence.
"The first person to eat crabs has never been favored, but often, the first person to eat is the first person to taste the sweetness. The further you go, the less worthwhile you are."
"But if it succeeds, will there be more robbers?" Hui Niang agreed with this, but she had another worry.You have to know that if you only focus on the heat, if you really succeed, there are people who are much richer and more powerful than them, how will you protect them then?
The example of the Qi Mansion has not been there for a long time!
Li Kongzhu shook his head, "I don't care about this matter, let's test my two acres of land first, and then I will figure out a way."
Last time in Fucheng, Zhao Junyi said that she was asked to do whatever she wanted.At that time, she thought he was sick, but now that she thinks about it seriously, she is afraid that he is already capable of protecting her.
I thought in my heart that when he came back, I had to ask him about this matter.
Although Hui Niang over there disagreed a little after hearing this, she couldn't stop being moved.
After thinking about it, he finally nodded, "Sure! I'll accompany you on a walk some time. Anyway, there's no business now!"
"Well, since it's agreed, we will leave tomorrow, do you think so?"
"to make!"
After getting her affirmative answer, Li Kongzhu decided to live in the town, thinking about going to Fucheng early tomorrow.
Hui Niang also agreed, and Li Chong sent her back to the village to get ready.After Xia Xiang picked up Li Jingzhe and Jiwa, she brought the two children directly to the town.
In the evening, Li Kongzhu and Hui Niang rested in a small shop, while Jiwa and the others followed Li Chong to his friend's house.
When the city gate was about to open the next day, the group of people couldn't wait to get into the donkey cart with a shed, and Li Chong drove the cart towards the outside of the city...
