Traveling through the mountains and fields to be leisurely

Chapter 29
Lan Erzhuang dragged Lin Zihao into the house, and he was very happy to meet again after a long absence.

"Zihao, my family just moved in last night and didn't do anything. Don't pick on brother's gift, just sit here first, and brother will pour you a bowl of water."

Let Lin Zihao into the house, the house has already been tidied up, leaving only the mattress spread out in the middle of the floor, which Lin Qiutang left on purpose because he was afraid that his family members would be tired from work and would have no place to rest, at this moment, Lan Erzhuang was pushing Lin Zihao to sit down on the mat, Lin Zihao was not polite, and sat down on the mat,
"Okay, second brother, younger brother, I'll just beg you for a bowl of water. Don't worry about anything else. I just happened to meet you moving house. It's better to come early than to come early. I don't have any presents, but I do have the strength."

Lan Erzhuang was happier when he was waiting for Lan Erzhuang to bring water from other places. Although they had been separated for a few years, the friendship between the brothers did not seem to be less than half a cent.
"Okay, the second brother is short of people, so I won't be polite to you, let's chat while we work, Qiutang—"

Lan Erzhuang went to find his wife while talking.

Lin Qiutang was currently on the grass behind the house, flattening a piece of grass, spreading a piece of black cotton cloth on it, and making quilts and mattresses. Lan Erzhuang found Lin Qiutang and asked for a water bowl. He had already gone to the village well in the morning After fetching a bucket of water, he washed the bowl. As soon as he scooped up the bowl of water, Lan Lingxue stopped him and secretly added some clear spring water to it, and then asked his father to bring the water to Lin Zihao. Drinking fragrant tea and drinks, but it is necessary to make the guests drink comfortably, let alone a person who is about to contribute to her family, Lan Lingxue will never be stingy with people who are good to her family.

Seeing Lin Zihao finished drinking the water, he stood up immediately, followed Lan Erzhuang out of the house, stretched out his hand to unload the wood, and got busy together, Lan Lingxue nodded secretly, although it was the first time they met, but Lan Lingxue's senior Having achieved the position of sales executive, he has a very accurate eye for seeing people. This Lin Zihao's eyes are very straight, and he is honest, trustworthy, and sincere, and his body is tall and strong. The imposing manner is not like the farmer's style of farming in the village, but a bit like a modern soldier. However, if he is a person with a story behind him, how did he get in touch with the old man?

Although a little confused, there is no time for Lan Lingxue to think wildly here. There is quite a lot of work this day. Lin Zihao and Lan Erzhuang are busy barking trees, cutting squares, and measuring rulers. Of course, the tools are the same as those of the villagers. Sorry, I was in such a hurry yesterday that I only had time to buy some necessities for the family, while Lin Qiutang led Lan Lingxue and a small hoe to build a simple stove with the stones he had just picked up, and then used the chopped down trees to build a simple stove. The bark was on fire, and the bark was a little damp, and there was thick smoke in the fire, which made the three of them cough. Thanks to the distance from the small stove to the house, otherwise all the smoke would have drifted into the house.

"Come on, I'm good at this."

Just as the three mothers were covering their mouths and coughing, Lin Zihao walked over and saw that he picked up some grass that had turned yellow in the autumn, and only pinched the upper part, and then used a wooden stick to hold the burning bark. He got up and put the grass under the bark again. After the fire burned the grass, he didn't put down the bark, but let there be a small gap between the grass and the bark, and when the grass was about to burn out, he didn't put down the bark. At that time, the bark stopped smoking, and the three mothers were very surprised.
"Uncle Hao, what did you do?"

At this time, the little hoe completely revealed the cleverness and curiosity of a boy,
"It doesn't make any sense. Practice makes perfect. When I have a chance, my uncle will teach you."

"it is good!"

Little Hoe looked forward to it, Lan Lingxue murmured in her heart, it was really easy to buy, just lighted a fire, and took away Little Hoe's heart, she was a little depressed for no reason, but she never thought that boys would I am yearning for some survival skills in the wild, because it is the nature of boys to be naughty, and Lan Lingxue is a girl who lives in the city since she was a child, so she never thought that she would have the opportunity to survive in the wild. Not the slightest interest in this.

"Er Zhuang, I'm here to measure the land for you."

The meal was half done, and before it was ready, Lan Lingxue heard Grandpa Lizheng's voice, looked up, and saw that Lizheng brought a few people from the village to her house.

"Grandpa Li—"

Because Dad was working at the door of his house, and it was a little far away, Lan Lingxue rushed up to meet him first,

"Hey, little basket, slow down."

Seeing Lan Lingxue running over, Li Zheng hurriedly called her to slow down, and stretched out his hand to catch the little girl who rushed over,

"Hey, what is this made of? This fragrance has come from a long way away."

Li was walking towards the house with the little basket, sniffing the aroma with his nose up. Not to mention, the smell was really his own rice. Even though he had eaten it just now, he was still aroused by the smell.
"It's just porridge, I didn't do anything delicious, because my house hasn't built a stove yet, so I built a stove first, and I'll make some.

"It tastes so good when you do it right, but if you do it seriously, you won't be able to swallow Grandpa's tongue."

Li was joking with Lan Lingxue while walking,

"Look at what you said, Grandpa Li, you will eat here in a while. If you are always eating, then as long as you get old, I will do it for you at any time. This is a trivial matter."

"Hey, look at our little basket, we are a bit in charge of the house, then Grandpa Li is waiting to eat the delicious food made by our little basket."

"That must, I mean what I say."

The old and the young chatted enthusiastically, and Lan Erzhuang and Lin Zihao also greeted them.

"Zihao, why are you here?"

Seeing Lin Zihao who came with Lan Erzhuang, Li Zheng was very surprised,
"Didn't you go to find your father? Why did you come back? Did you find it?"

Holding Lin Zihao's hand, Lizheng was a little excited,
"found it."

Lin Zihao replied lightly, but because Lan Lingxue looked carefully, she didn't miss the fleeting coldness on his face,

"What about your father, why didn't he come back with you? Is he okay?"

Thinking of the man who has been gone for so many years, Lizheng is really curious about how he is doing now,

"My father is fine, but the journey is far away. After all, he is old and it is not convenient. I came back alone. I will send my greetings to all the folks on his behalf."

Lin Zihao bowed his hands to the villagers, and the villagers returned politely, they were still thinking about Lin Zihao's father,

"It's easy to say, as long as he is fine, he has been away for a long time, and I don't know what he has become now, I am old."

"Uncle Li, you are so old, you are getting stronger and stronger."

Finally able to adjust the topic, Lin Zihao seemed to have unintentionally carried over what he had just said.

"Only you kid can talk."

Li Zheng patted Lin Zihao on the shoulder, he was a bit tall, Li Zheng found that he was not doing it well, he had grown up, he was an adult, he only remembered the child back then,

"I have business today, and when the business is over, let's have a good chat."

"Okay, I've made a note, Uncle Li."

Lin Zihao respectfully agreed,

"Er Zhuang, these are your household registration documents and land purchase documents. Uncle has prepared them for you. You keep them, so don't lose them."

Lizheng handed the document to Lan Erzhuang, ordered and ordered,

"Uncle Li, I know, I will take good care of it, so don't worry."

"Why do I feel worried when I look at you?"

Lan Erzhuang smirked a few times,
"Okay, you've already settled down, so I don't need to worry about it in vain. Let's measure the land first. This is a big deal. When the land is measured, uncle will feel at ease. Sanshui and the others I'm still thinking about helping you with work, let's try to tidy up the house in a big way on this day, and save you a place to live and a place to eat."

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Li, and thank you brothers for coming to help. Let's measure the land first, and we'll talk about the work later."

Unexpectedly, old Uncle Li brought someone to help him with work, Lan Erzhuang quietly made a note in his heart that he can reach out when he is in trouble, and this kindness needs to be firmly remembered.

"Then hurry up, do the same thing."

Taking the measuring tool from Sanshui, he led the crowd to the back of the house, asking for Lan Erzhuang's opinion as he walked.
"Er Zhuang, let's start measuring from the back of the house. The land behind the house is closer to the river, so it's easier to irrigate the land. Look."

Li just wanted to make Lan Erzhuang spend less effort. With such a large area of ​​land, it would take a lot of effort just to carry water.

"Succeed, Uncle Li, we will measure wherever you say."

Lan Erzhuang didn't think about the front and back of the house. He felt that he could do it anywhere, and the distance of tens of meters was not bad. He didn't expect Lan Lingxue to intervene.

"Grandpa Li, I think it's better to measure from the house to the entrance of the village. The old man wants to grow vegetables. When the vegetables are harvested, it will be more convenient to be closer to the entrance of the village. Do you always look?"

"That's right, the old man wants to transport the vegetables. Why did I forget about it? It's because our little basket is clever, and our brains are not in vain."

Li Zheng stopped in his tracks, praised Lan Lingxue a few words, and then led everyone to measure the land from ten meters in front of the house. There are many people and strength, and it only took about two quarters of an hour to measure the land. The four sides and four corners of the land were marked, and the work of measuring the land was completed. Looking at the large area marked out, Lan Lingxue was extremely excited. This is the first place for her family. Divide the property and manage it well. This will be an important step in the prosperity of the family.

After measuring the [-] mu of land, Lizheng asked Lan Erzhuang to lead Sanshui and the others to work, knowing that what Lan Erzhuang's family lacked most was a place to sleep and a stove for cooking.
"Er Zhuang, Sanshui and Chunsheng are the best at building the kang and the stove. Let the two of them help you build the kang and the stove first. Although the kang needs to be aired for two days before it is completely dry, the stove will be turned off at night." It can be used, no matter what, it can be regarded as a place to cook, it has the biggest stomach, so you can’t starve it.”

Li Zheng said that Lan Erzhuang nodded straightly, this solved his own big problem, this heated kang can do it by himself, but compared with Sanshui and Chunsheng, it is really a lot worse, this heated kang No, winter will be sad.
