Pastoral Valley Fragrance

Chapter 127

Now that it has been decided to build the backyard, several people in the house began to divide the work.Li Dequan asked Dejiang to invite a master together, and it would not cost much money anyway, Li Dequan could still spare his hands to make oxcarts with Dalin, Xiaoman and Wang wanted to make clothes for such a roomful of people, Gu Yu and Xu Mrs. Qin helped the workers cook, and occasionally Aunt Wen also helped out a little.

Gu Yu goes to town every three or four days. The ox belongs to her family, but the ox cart is borrowed from Chen Jiangsheng. Sometimes Jinxuan drives alone, and sometimes Jingzhe An Jinxuan drives together Gu Yu was sitting in the car, looking at the half-grown children running around in the crops after harvest, An Jinxuan said that they were irrigated voles, and the voles were caught to be skinned and dried, and Gu Yu started a while Goosebumps.

The person who should be hired has said hello, the things for ramming the wall have been borrowed, and the place to take the soil has been determined. Dalin also told An Jinxuan that the two of them will transport the soil, and everything is ready. But someone came here.

First, Li He came over mysteriously, and dragged Li Dequan to the end of the yard, with a serious and cautious face, "Dequan, why didn't you discuss with your parents about such a big matter as the construction of the yard? Besides, I listened to the outside People say you paid the money? Why are you so stupid? This is not someone else’s yard after it’s built, why don’t you build a house yourself if you have that spare money?”

Li Dequan didn't know how to speak for a while, and was stunned there. If he said that he paid the money, he was afraid that Li He's family would make trouble, and if he said it was not, he would feel guilty.

It happened that An Jinxuan passed by here, "Uncle Quan, this time I need to trouble you to build the courtyard wall at my house. Anyway, I have also earned some money these days, which happens to come in handy."

Mrs. Li He didn't say anything, but she was not happy. At first, Mrs. Zhang said that Quan's family hid silver. If she was dubious, this time, more than a dozen threshers were shipped out, and it was almost a tael of silver a day. , and didn't see Xiao Jing herself once, she just bought a few packs of worthless snacks, and she sighed again for a while that the third child was under the strict control of the Wang family, shook her head and left in annoyance.

As soon as she left on her front foot, Mrs. Chen arrived on her back foot.

She didn't say anything, and when she came here, she just rambled about some things, most of them were not congenial, Xiao Man embroidered lotus flowers, but she said that the peonies are really good to embroider, and they were obviously made for Jinxuan Jingzhe The robe was covered with cloud patterns, she said in a daze that it was something from the official uniform.

It wasn't until everyone ignored her that she felt that the time had come, and she expressed her intentions with a very enthusiastic look, "Sister-in-law, I haven't been here for a long time. I heard that you have built a yard here. It's a very rare day." There is a salary of fifteen yuan, my brother is idle at home, and it is difficult to go out, it is better to ask him to help, anyway, we are all relatives, just look at it."

Mrs. Wang saw that Mrs. Chen had spoken, and that she really needed to invite someone. Just as she was about to answer, Gu Yu was a little surprised. What Mrs. Chen said now is good, but what will happen in the future is unpredictable. Just be careful.But at this time, it seems that it is not good to refuse, it is really embarrassing.

Seeing Mrs. Wang was about to speak and Gu Yu ripped off the corner of her clothes, Mrs. Chen couldn't bear it anymore, "Gu Yu, Auntie never thought of taking advantage of you. Your relatives will help you a little, and your kindness will be treated as a donkey's liver and lungs?"

Chen's complexion darkened, and Wang's heart softened.

An Jinxuan said quietly, "This courtyard wall belongs to my second uncle and I. I can build it however I want. Gu Yu and the others must be in no position to invite anyone. Why do you say that?"

There was another fake smile on Chen's face, and he still looked familiar, "Oh, brother Jinxuan, I thought you were a family when I saw you going back and forth, so I took you It’s also considered relatives, and it’s inevitable that you will suffer a bit, if it weren’t for you, Gu Yu’s family would not have a place to live, and I, as an aunt, would not be disappointed.”

Mrs. Chen is related to Gu Yu's family, but not to An Jinxuan. He has always been outspoken, "Hmph, what does this have to do with me? We can't get together even if we don't want to get married. Why do you want to live on the other side of the tile-roofed house? How about making it available for Gu Yu and the others to live in? Why don’t you help them if you’re not satisfied, and they can still be kicked out?”

Chen's expression became a little uneasy for a while, but she was still not reconciled, "Look where you are going, Gu Yu and the others came out because the sister-in-law said that Gu Yu's father hid a lot of money and was separated from her grandma. I didn't go in at that time. , this matter is one thing, don't mess it up, aren't we talking about building a backyard now?"

An Jinxuan really didn't show any face to Mrs. Chen, and said with a stern face, "Everything counts, right? Although the wall of my courtyard is not a house, it can't be vain, right? This house is full of people. The summer solstice will be able to climb, I can't cut corners and collapse in less than half a year, can't I? The last time it didn't hit anyone, but this time it's not sure."

Mrs. Chen couldn't sit still anymore, "I'm really following where, I don't need help, let's see if you can go to the sky!"

Both Gu Yu and Wang Shi were wondering why An Jinxuan spoke with thorns, and he didn't have much resentment with Chen Shi.

An Jinxuan didn't need to dress up like that, he was like that at first, but seeing him now said quietly: "No one else knows about her elder brother, but my second uncle and I know about it, and when we went back to the next village to build a wall for someone, that would have been Even if he is a skilled worker, he still has to cut corners and materials. It doesn’t matter if there is no straw in the mud, and saves his own strength to compact it. Another craftsman almost fell down, and the wall collapsed. The house collapsed in the middle of the house, so he didn't let him go, and he came to beg the second uncle to settle the matter. Hmph, if the courtyard wall of our house is to be destroyed at this time, I might as well Not built."

It turned out to be the case, and it was fortunate that An Jinxuan was here, otherwise it would be a big trouble.

It's just that Mrs. Chen was not convinced, and talked about Gu Yu's house everywhere when she went out.As a result, Li Dequan was also instructed when he went out, and another person came to find work.

Chen Yongyu was a little annoyed, but he couldn't argue with these gossips, so he simply asked everyone to decide on their own, there were three of them, Li Dejiang and Li Dequan, Dalin Jingzhe, An Jinxuan were also there, and Xu Qinshi Guyu could help with the cooking. It's not a problem to work for two days and rest for one day. Anyway, it will be fine until the Chinese New Year. Everyone agrees that Li Dequan's ox cart work will be suspended. Qiao'e's father-in-law will give him the bamboo shed that Li Dequan entrusted him to make. Come here, and help me along the way.I was persuaded away by everyone, so how can my father-in-law come over to do rough work.

The matter of Qiao'e's going out was also discussed, but it caused each other to feel uneasy again.

If Qiao'e goes out, the family will be separated as agreed in advance.

Li Dejiang and his wife naturally have nothing to do with each other. Anyway, when the family is separated, they will partner with this side. It doesn’t matter if they are used to the work. It doesn’t matter when the Xu family gives birth, and the land has already been divided. Yes, just waiting to be planted.

Li He and Lao Li are a little silent. The girls here have been brought up one by one, and the two will grow old. This separation of the family will depend on the children to support them. There are a thousand feelings in my heart for a while .

Li Dehai was fine, but Mrs. Zhang was a little unhappy. Every day when she ate, she would talk about Lichun and Lixia. She said that she should grow up soon, and she might not even have porridge by then.I went to talk to Li He about re-dividing the family in two or three years, but naturally it was not recognized.

Among them, the happiest one is Mrs. Chen. She didn't want to do it to the death of her family. She helped others raise their children. There are only two people in my family who go to the farm, and the old family only goes to the farm with two people, but they have to raise three, and she has to cook every day. Xu's belly is not here, and naturally he doesn't do it. Zhang She didn't help when she came back from the field. She was very angry, and Mrs. Zhang was even more angry. It will be different after the family is divided. She doesn't believe that both of them work and have no children. How bad can the sun and the moon be? ?
There is another question on the table. Naturally, after the separation, cooking is done separately. What about the one with only one kitchen?At most, the firewood room can be vacated, and the old couple will eat with them in turn, so there is still one less kitchen room.

Li Dejiang didn't panic about this, anyway, he ate at Gu Yu's these days anyway, and if he was busy with business in the future, he didn't mind, so he didn't want it, and it was fine to eat there, but under the eaves It is also possible to build a stove.In addition, Li Dejiang has always thought about building another house by himself. Anyway, if he has a family and a business in the future, he can't squeeze together. He thought about it more than once before when he had no children. It's not that hard, but it's just that there is no money. Last time, he divided four taels of silver, and he felt hopeful again. He simply saved it for another two or three years. At least there must be a dozen taels of silver to build a house. Have a good time.

Now that things are basically settled, it is equivalent to dividing the family and taking care of their own fields, and they will grow their own share in the first spring of next year.

So, a few days before the separation, Li Dejiang followed Chen Yongyu and Li Dequan to ram the wall, and all the threshing machines were moved to the front yard. If you want to remove the nails, there will naturally be a big commotion, and the family will know about it. Besides, after the last round of guards, the village is much more peaceful, so there is no need to worry. .

There are hardships and joys in life, and it will go on like this after all.

Seeing that the day when Qiao'e went out was approaching day by day, and waiting for the Zhao family to celebrate the ceremony before discussing things, Qiao'e felt a little uncomfortable. There were more things in her room than when her two sisters were married. Her craftsmanship is amazing, and she said so many things to her, and she put away all the things she sent, all of which were to be sent to the Zhao family.

Yue'e and Yu'e would also come back as usual, to accompany Qiao'e through the last days of being a girl, and the three sisters talked and made fun of each other.

Unexpectedly, when the sisters from this trip came back, they made the Li family's yard uneasy again.
