Chapter 57

Father Lu was left behind to push his son away with a dark face, "Go as soon as I tell you, why are you asking too much?"

"Hey, good, good."

Boss Lu didn't dare to delay any longer, so he hurried out to run down the ridge, wondering why the girl was not feeling well, did she have a serious illness, otherwise why did the father's face look so ugly, as if he had foreseen some disaster.

The adobes that have been aired in the sun for the past few days have been completely dried out. The clay is like wheat straw. When they are mixed together, they are smashed firmly and thoroughly exposed to the sun, and they become adobe bricks. They are used to build houses to keep warm and convenient. The most important thing is Cheap.

In the thatched shed, Aunt Liu was busy with her three daughters-in-law.In two large iron pots, one is filled with hot golden corn pancakes, and the other is filled with two rice porridge boiled with corn noodles and millet. On the chopping board, the pickled mustard greens from last autumn are cut into thin shreds. , mixed with chili oil and a few drops of sesame oil, and added a small handful of coriander, it becomes the best thing with porridge.

A young daughter-in-law, Xu Shi, got up early, and her stomach kept ringing while burning the fire, which made Aunt Liu feel distressed and funny, so she quickly fished a boiled egg from the tin kettle beside her and stuffed it into her hand.

"It's all from my own family. If you're hungry, just tell me. It doesn't matter whether it's pancakes or porridge. Fill your stomach first. You know, you're not alone now. Don't let your child go hungry before it's born."

The little daughter-in-law was shy, she blushed and wanted to refuse when she took the egg, "Auntie, I don't want it, I'll just eat some more after the workers finish eating."

"Eat as soon as I tell you to eat, don't act like a heretic. This egg is specially ordered by Xiaomi, eat one a day, and the baby born will be strong. Earlier, she arranged for people to work in the shed, and she said she wanted to find it." Those of you who are pregnant, firstly, we eat with the men, it’s more oily than at home, secondly, the work is light and wages are paid, and the savings are enough to give the child a full moon or make a few new sets of clothes and quilts.”

Aunt Liu was nagging, talking too much and quickly, but the little daughter-in-law understood, took the egg gratefully, and replied in a low voice, "I heard that I was going to marry into Laoxiongling, my sister cried." My stepmother sent me here because I refused desperately. Now it seems that I have to thank her, and I really fell into a nest of blessings."

Everyone laughed, "That's right, it's Fuwo!"

At this time, someone came in from outside the shed. Aunt Liu thought it was the men urging the meal, so she said, "Don't worry, breakfast will be ready soon."

It was Boss Lu who didn't want to come. He blushed a little when he saw that the shed was full of women, but he still said, "Auntie, my sister is a little uncomfortable. My father asked me to come and ask you to take a look."

"What, Xiaomi isn't feeling well?"

Aunt Liu immediately threw the spoon in her hand, and said anxiously, "What did you say, didn't you go to invite Third Uncle Bi?"

Boss Lu scratched the back of his head, also puzzled, "My father said that there is no need to invite Third Uncle Bi, but let me invite Auntie."

Aunt Liu was stunned when she heard it, but then she came to understand and smiled clearly.

"Okay, I get it, it's a good thing, don't worry about it, I'll be there right away."

Boss Lu nodded and went out to the nearby construction site.The men of the village had gathered just after dawn, and had been at work for a while.In their view, as neighbors, folks living in a village, it is already shameless to work and get paid. If they don't work hard, they are really shameless.Being able to do a little more work, they feel at ease when they eat and get paid.

Uncle Liu was holding up his pottery bowl and gulping water. When he saw Boss Lu coming, he said, "Brother Ping, come and see, the outer wall can be stacked up today. Although it is a temporary watch for everyone, this house But it’s no worse than any one!”

"Uncle, my sister said that in the future we will build a workshop in this mountain, and I'm afraid there will always be someone guarding the mountain pass. The house is well built, and everyone will not suffer in winter and summer."

Boss Lu didn't hide it either. To be honest, the villagers who were doing the work next to him laughed.What they like to hear most is that Xiaomi is going to toss something new. They all have a lot of strength. As long as they are willing to help the Lu family, the Lu family will benefit from them.

Uncle Liu nodded again and again, watching his mother-in-law rushing up the mountain from a distance, and couldn't help complaining, "This old lady, the busier she is, the more lazy she is?"

After that, he asked Boss Lu again, "After digging the ditches over the drainage ditch, we are going to lay stones. Does Xiaomi have any regulations? Should everyone go digging in the mountains, or..."

"Buy!" Boss Lu hurriedly stopped Uncle Liu's words, chiseling stones is a laborious job, and it also requires skilled hands. Can't get along.

"Xiaomi said, please let Uncle Liu release the news. When we buy stones on the mountain, the price will be paid [-]% more than the market price. Whoever takes over the work will be sent outside the mountain pass, and one truck will be settled. When the time comes, everyone will bring it in after hard work, everyone. I also know that there are many good things on our mountains, and outsiders cannot enter them."

"Well, that's the truth!"

The villagers all nodded, and then patted their chests, "Reassure Xiaomi, it's just a few stones, we still have some strength."

"That's right, the people outside are really bad. Who knows if they come in to send stones or steal things, it's absolutely impossible."

After everyone said a few words, dinner started in the thatched shed. Even though Boss Lu was full, he brought a bowl of porridge and squatted with everyone to drink...

Not to mention how lively the mountain was, but Aunt Liu ran all the way back home to get a few things, and said a few words secretly when she met her daughter-in-law Guizhi, and then she went to Lu's house after hearing Guizhi smiled and nodded.

Xiaomi is nestling on the kang with a sewing basket beside her. At this moment, she misses her little wings from her previous life very much.But there is no way, such a great invention, Dayuan has not yet.She wanted to be the originator of a pioneer, but her craftsmanship was too clumsy...

Xiao'e half leaned on the quilt, half-closed her eyes, as if she was taking care of herself, but in fact she was extremely curious about what Xiaomi was going to do, and she would never be a villain and curse her to repay her indiscriminate love and hatred in the morning take offense...

Aunt Liu carried a small cloth bag under her arm, and when she came in with steaming brown sugar water in her hand, she smiled when she saw Xiaomi like this, "Xiaomi, why don't you take a good rest, what are you fussing about!"

"Ah, auntie, why are you here?"

Xiaomi straightened up in surprise, but something suddenly gushed out of her stomach made her half-ly down again.

"You girl, you can't move around at this time. Hurry up and drink the brown sugar water while it's hot. What are you going to do? It won't be too late after you've been busy for a few days."

Aunt Liu snatched the needle and thread from Xiaomi's hand and stuffed it with sugar water.

Smelling the familiar smell, Xiaomi's eyes almost turned red. It is so happy to have someone to take care of her at such a time.

"Thank you auntie."

"Thank you, your mother is not here, if you have something to do, call auntie, don't stand alone. Besides, every woman has this kind of time, and this is a good thing. From now on, you will be a big girl, and you can marry and have children. "

Aunt Liu is really happy for Xiaomi. Originally, he thought about marrying Xiaomi as his daughter-in-law, but not to mention how bad the Zhaodi incident was, it’s just that Xiaomi has now insisted on turning the Lu family from hungry to wealthy. Seeing Party A's appearance, she stopped thinking.The Liu family can't afford such a girl, so they might as well treat Xiaomi as their own girl.

Xiaomi sighed when she heard this, perhaps she was born with a hard life, and she didn't know what it was like to be loved by her mother in her past and present lives.

Seeing her lonely face, Aunt Liu regretted mentioning Mrs. Bai, and quickly changed the subject, "I brought some new bags, you should change them quickly, don't stain the bedding and make it hard to clean up."

Xiaomi only glanced at the long strip, then shook his head like a rattle, "No, no, auntie, I don't need this."

"This is new!" Aunt Liu thought she thought it was dirty, and persuaded, "It was originally made by your sister-in-law Guizhi, and she won't be able to use it with her current body."

Xiaomi hurriedly drank the brown sugar water in two or three gulps, and finally pulled the somewhat hideous semi-finished product in the sewing basket, said a few words in a low voice, and explained its function.

Aunt Liu stared at it, feeling very complicated, such a small thing, Xiaomi can toss new tricks, this girl is really not something ordinary people can tolerate.

"Auntie, isn't it easy to do? You don't need to embroider or anything, just make a few cotton covers, and sew a piece of oil paper under the cotton pad inside, so it won't penetrate easily..."

Xiaomi explained it carefully, and was a little discouraged at the end, "Is it too troublesome?"

But Aunt Liu came to her senses and said with a smile, "No trouble, Auntie's craftsmanship is not good, but this thing can still be made."

After all, she couldn't help it, and sighed, "You are a rich man, and you must find a good family in the future."

Xiaomi grinned, but Xiao'e, who was sitting on the top of the kang, muttered, "Huh, rich people are in chaos. She is like this, and she was eaten within a few days after entering."

"Oh!" Aunt Liu entered the door and only focused on walking around Xiaomi, but she didn't see Xiao'e. At this moment, she suddenly heard someone talking in the room, and she was startled. The needle in her hand stuck into her finger, which hurt her Trembling, he quickly put his finger in his mouth and sucked it, then looked up, but was even more surprised.

When did such a girl come to the Lu family, Danfeng eyes, willow eyebrows, high nose and red lips, set off by a white oval face, she is really like a person in a painting.On weekdays, Xiaomi looks pretty and charming, but compared with this girl, she is much younger.

Xiaomi was afraid that Aunt Liu would make random guesses, and was annoyed that Xiao'e would interrupt casually, so she retorted coldly, "I won't bother the girl in the future, you should take care of yourself first! How do you know if the rich and noble family are good, don't you?" Married?"

"You!" Xiao'e, a girl with a yellow flower, was a little annoyed by Xiaomi's words. She wanted to scold a few words back but felt that she was under the fence. Thinking about how she was at home before, it was a pity that it was only a few months, and the family who loved her loved her. All souls returned to Huangquan, leaving her to suffer all the pain in this world...

Xiaomi was still waiting for Xiao'e to reply, but unexpectedly she burst into tears.
