Traveling through the mountains and fields to be leisurely

Chapter 47 Not a Dream
"Uncle Chunsheng, take this to this room first, don't be so careful, it's not something you're afraid of falling."

As soon as Lin Qiutang went out, he saw his daughter directing several strong laborers to move things.
"Why did you buy so many things? Is the money still enough?"

Seeing everyone moving back and forth happily, Lin Qiutang couldn't help being a little stunned. How much would it cost? My family moved out of the old house, but it was necessary to leave the house. Even if the master in the capital gave some money, I can't stop being so flowery, I finally couldn't help it, and whispered in my daughter's ear,

"Mother, don't worry. Daddy and I have a solution. You just need to enjoy the blessings. Now our family only has enough money to buy things. After a while, when you have surplus money, you can just sit down and be your housekeeper." .”

Lan Lingxue was helping to unload things, seeing her mother's cautious look, she also leaned close to her ear and joked,

"You stinky girl, you're still teasing your mother. That mother can wait. Let's enjoy the girl's blessings too. Let's taste what it's like to sit at home and count money."

Lin Qiutang pinched Lan Lingxue's little face, it was so smooth and tender to the touch,
"Mother, just look at it, I have a good life for you."

Seeing someone approaching, Lan Lingxue stopped chatting with her mother about the unseen wind, carried a bundle, and walked into the house.

"Second brother, I'm going to deliver the carriage, is there anything else you want to bring back?"

After all the things were moved, before Lin Zihao drove away, he didn't forget to ask Lan Erzhuang, if there were any unpurchased things, he could just bring them back and save the trip in vain.
"There's nothing to buy, you drive carefully, don't worry."

Lan Erzhuang waved to Lin Zihao,
"Well, I will be careful, then I'm leaving, second brother, brothers, I'm tired, I'll be right back."

He raised his hands at those brothers, drove the carriage, and ran away all the way. He was in a hurry. Taking advantage of the help these few days, he had to do his best to finish the work that the second brother should be busy with. It is not an easy job to build walls and open land, and the autumn harvest will be harvested in a few days. The 70 acres are no joke.

"Brother Er Zhuang, I have finished taking off the mud and just waited for it to dry in the sun. Jianye and Shanzi are going to make a bed. I see that you have guests at home, so there is no place to live. And this The two doors must also be opened, there must be a door if there are female relatives, you see if there is any work, Chunsheng and I will do it first."

Sanshui is a person who can't be idle, and wants to take advantage of the time before building the kang to do something else first.

"You two also take a break. You just finished your lunch, and it's just right for you to digest your food. Jianye and Shanzi also take a break before doing work."

Lan Erzhuang pulled the stool over, wanting them all to rest,
"We peasants are not so delicate, who doesn't go to the field after leaving their jobs."

Sanshui and the others declined, Jianye and He Shanzi had already gone to plan wood and started working.

"That's fine, I won't be polite with my brother. There are two big tasks now. You can help me figure out which one to do first. This land must be turned over. It is the first one, and there is another one. , I want to dig a well in front of the house, so that it will be more convenient to eat and water, and I don’t have to go all the way to fetch water, which will delay things.”

Lan Erzhuang pointed to the open space in front of the house, talking about his thoughts,
"I think it's better to dig the well first, or you have to water the ground when you don't dig it. With the skill of carrying water, how much more land can be dug out."

Lan Erzhuang didn't expect that the taciturn Chunsheng would help out with ideas. This Chunsheng is a master who only knows how to work hard all day long, and rarely speaks. This is really treating himself as a brother.
"In the middle, let's choose a good place first, and then study how to do it. If the well is opened, it will really save a lot of trouble."

"No, let's go, let's go and see where we drive first."

Sanshui rushed to the front of the house to choose a site, Chunsheng followed closely, Lan Erzhuang looked at his brother who was more anxious than himself, his heart was filled with unspeakable sourness, and a little sweetness, since moving out, The brothers in the family have never come to see it. Although these few are not real brothers, they are closer than real brothers here. Lan Erzhuang shook his head, suppressed his inner thoughts, and took a few steps to chase after him. When they arrived at Sanshui and Chunsheng, they turned around and looked at the piece of land in front of the door. Although it was still a piece of weeds, they seemed to see that it was full of life. Lan Erzhuang squinted his eyes and smiled, with a wife, children and fields , This is my good day.

Lan Lingxue, who was standing by the door, was very happy to see her father, Uncle Sanshui and the others planning the next job, and seeing him finish digging the well by himself. The master of the matter is just that I have passed through it, and I am not at ease about anything, so I inevitably stretched out my hands. In fact, if I let my father let go, he is still very capable.
"Uncle Jianye, can you make a box for me?"

Lan Lingxue walked to Wang Jianye's side,
"Hey, little basket, what kind of box do you want, uncle will make it for you."

Wang Jianye didn't stop what he was doing. While sawing the wood, he asked Lan Lingxue what request he had.
"It doesn't need any special shape, it's just enough to hold things. It's about one foot wide and one foot high. You can see and do it. I don't have any fixed things to hold. I just think there should be a box."

Lan Lingxue measured it with her hands. In fact, she wanted to make a money box. That way, the money in the space would have a place to store it, instead of being scattered on the ground.
"Okay, uncle will make a box for you after finishing this door panel."

"Thank you, Uncle Jianye. I'm not in a hurry. Just wait until I'm done with the work."

After completing a task, Lan Lingxue ran away happily.

"Father, how is the measurement?"

Lan Lingxue joined her father and Uncle Sanshui again,
"Girl, do you think this is okay? I discussed with you Uncle Sanshui and Uncle Chunsheng. This well is drilled between our house and the field, that is to say, five meters away from our house, a little to the left. , how about going back and forth without getting in the way, and carrying water is not far away?"

Lan Erzhuang still wants to ask his daughter's opinion, her opinion is always objective and practical,
"Father, I think it's better to drill the well next to the ground. The most important thing is to be close to the ground. Don't think it's only three or five meters. If you calculate it one by one, it can save a lot of effort. The position on the left It's pretty good."

What Lan Lingxue didn't say was that it was impossible for her family to live in this warehouse all the time, and she would definitely expand the house in the future. Whether the land in front of the house would be useful or not is another matter, but if the well was dug properly, it would definitely be get in the way,
"It's still our daughter who is thoughtful, Zhong, let's make it like this, Sanshui and Chunsheng, what do you think?"

I'm sure of my daughter's words, what else can I say?

"I think it's okay, just dig here."

Sanshui walked to the edge of the measured land, stuck to the measured line, and compared the position with his feet. Chunsheng also nodded. Thinking about it carefully, digging a well here is better than digging a well in front of the house. , Whether it is to circle the yard or build a house, it is more convenient.

Although the kang in the east room was not completely dry, it was no problem to put it on it to work. It was better than finding a piece of land behind the house and working with your back. Lin Qiutang found the black cotton cloth he bought yesterday, and put it on Get out your ruler and needle and thread,
"Zhiyuan, I'll make a measure for you. First, I'll make you a piece of clothing to wear. I only have this piece of black cotton cloth at home. You can make do with it first, and let your uncle buy it for you tomorrow."

Walking to An Zhiyuan's side, I saw that he was already a little confused, his eyes were squinting, and he looked very cute.
"After all, it's a child. After the incident, it's like a person who has nothing to do with it."

Painfully stroking the wound on An Zhiyuan's forehead,

"Zhiyuan, hold on for a little while longer, Auntie will measure your body for you, and it will be ready soon."

Lin Qiutang quickly measured An Zhiyuan's size, helped him tuck the quilt,
"Okay, go to sleep, there will be delicious food when you wake up."

After patting a few times across the quilt, I heard An Zhiyuan's even breathing, and I don't know how this child survived, even an adult couldn't stand it walking from such a distance.

An Zhiyuan was woken up by hunger. He felt that he had only slept for a short while, but his stomach was so hungry that he wanted to get up from the bed. He held back his throat, because he saw that a door had been firmly installed on the empty door opening just now, and he even smelled the faint fragrance of the newly planed wood, so he lay back in an instant , it feels a bit unreal, as if he has come to a magical world, all fantasies will come true when he opens his eyes, for example, the door opposite, or the straight skirt on the quilt, he closed his eyes, Touching this coarse cloth, the slightly rough texture reminded myself that all this is real, not a dream.

"you're awake."

An Zhiyuan was in a daze, Lin Qiutang came into the room with the food, he was afraid that he would not wake up, but when he came in, he saw him rubbing his clothes with one hand,

"Don't you like it? Our family really doesn't have any other fabrics. You wear them first, and tomorrow your uncle will pick out a good material for you, and your aunt will make you a robe with the latest style. I guarantee you like it."

I thought that An Zhiyuan didn't like this dress, that's right, children like fresh ones, this black fabric, even I didn't like it,
"No, no, auntie, I like it very much, really, I like it very much, this one is fine, don't ask uncle to buy it for me, this one is really good."

An Zhiyuan refused with all his strength, and unconsciously clenched the clothes tightly. Since seeing this family, they have given him unimaginable warmth, just like the clothes in his hands, although they are different from what he used to wear The old clothes can't be compared at all, but the important thing is that the clothes on the four members of this family are all worn out, and even the one on the little hoe has obvious patches. Under such circumstances, they took the only piece of cloth, I gave it to myself without any hesitation. This kind of love is really going to overwhelm An Zhiyuan who has nothing. Even if you don't ask for anything in return, how should I bear it.
