Pinellia pastoral

Chapter 120 Integration
Ever since finding something wrong with Polygonatum and Shuiping, Pinellia will open the door here if there is nothing to do, and secretly pay attention.

Within a few days, she realized that when did Zhou Shi and Lin Shi become so close that they entered and exited together?
Do you feel that Wumei's marriage gave them a sense of crisis and temporarily formed an alliance?

But Yuzhu didn't act too outrageously, except for sometimes coming to pester Wumei, the rest of the time was not much different from usual.

Still so dark, still like to stick tofu on his face, and... like to frown and sigh.

But Ban Xia couldn't figure out what she was plotting. Wu Mei was already engaged, and this time there was no such strange thing as deception, and Wu Liangping was able to understand, so such a problem should not happen.

In the end, Banxia attributed this to the fact that Yuzhu planned to wait for Wumei to marry and treat her as a step to climb up. After all, there are very few people she can see. , naturally there are better families than those in the village.This seems to make sense, otherwise why would Yu Zhu flatter Wu Mei?But what is the reason for Zhou's and Lin's?

These questions are destined to be unanswerable, and Banxia also quietly told Mint, asking her to pay more attention, as long as she reaches out, she will definitely be able to leave something behind.

The courtyard wall of Banxia's house was built, and a small house was built on the side of the original shed, with the same thatched roof, which is quite spacious.On the other side, there are shower rooms and latrines in the pigsty, just like the original painting of Pinellia.

The wall was rammed up bit by bit.

Pinellia was amazed to see it.

No wonder she looked at the mud houses in the village stacked on top of each other half a meter. This was the first time she knew how they were rammed. When mixing the mud, she added chopped straw and built a layer of stones first. The foundation, on which there is a wooden frame, is a rectangular wooden box, but both ends are connected, and the reconciled mud is poured in, and the wood like an oar is started to be rammed. The reason why it is said to be like an oar is that Because it is also wide on both sides and thin in the middle, but it is different from oars, at least the two ends are as thick as a mallet.

Ban Xia had to admire the wisdom of these people. After doing this a few times, the courtyard wall became more than two meters long, and it was covered with thatch on the top of the wall, covered with a layer of mud on top, and the courtyard became more and more beautiful. .

This wall was built by the three of Su Youli together.

But when the pigsty was built, it was a bit ironic, mainly because... there were too many people helping.

It is impossible to trace back the cause of the incident, only Pinellia's afterthought version.

She imagined that it should be like this, since Qiu and his new sister-in-law learned that Banxia's family was going to build such a novel pigsty toilet, they naturally wanted to build something similar.

So when I went home, I talked about the other daughter-in-laws in the third grandpa's family, and those women who washed clothes by the river, and this gradually spread. Seriously.

"If this is the case, it will be much more convenient to wash the pigsty in the future."

"That's right, at least the baby can rest assured when going to the toilet in the future."

"There really is such a thing?" "Why not? Ban Xia's family has it!"

It was passed around like this, when Banxia's family just started building the pigsty, there were more than one onlookers!There are not a few people who are nagged by their own wives to come and have a look. The busy farming has already passed and there is nothing to do.

Enthusiastic people are not in the minority, and there are many people with mixed opinions, but it is more like a collective strategy.

"There is a small canal next to it, which is easy to handle, but it is not so easy to accumulate the water in the shower room. When the time comes to use it, don't you have to carry water? This is not very useful, is it?"

"Ask me to dig a well here!"

"It takes too long to dig a well, and when you dig a well here, there are latrines and a pigsty next to it. How can people drink?"

Another old man who came to join in the fun, observed carefully for a while, "Dig a small pond here, anyway, after this side is built, the space here can't be used for other things, and there is also a place here to avoid being washed away. The foundation is simply dug into a small pond, which can accumulate rainwater even when it rains on weekdays, and when needed, a bucket can be lifted up and used, and it is also convenient to drench the vegetable field."

With so many enthusiastic people, Su Youli probably didn't think at first that one day he would build a pigsty in his own vegetable field, and there would be so many people offering advice, but he didn't feel any displeasure because of it.

He was both happy and unfamiliar with this feeling, because since childhood, his yard has never been so lively, and he is not a person who can talk. With Su Qian, others will not bully their family. But I haven't really made friends with any one.

This time Su Youzhang and Zhang Liu were able to come to help, he was already very heartwarming, and at this time so many people surrounded him, walked in from the cobblestone, said something, and went out again, the house was much more lively.

He was able to say a few witty words, "Hey, I didn't even think that building a pigsty, I can't make my own decisions!"

These words were naturally said with joy.

Ever since, the small pond, which was not considered in the first place, just appeared.

There are more people who talk, and naturally there are many people who do it.

More people means more strength. In just a few days, a small pond a few meters long has been dug. In addition, the foundation has been laid, and the small canal has also been helped to build.

Su Youli felt very sorry for this, and tried his best to keep people for dinner, but he didn't know that others would wave their hands, help out when they saw work, and leave as soon as meal time came, and they couldn't hold back.

When I came again, there was mung bean soup in a wooden barrel, and the bean sprouts, bean curd and so on were not rejected.When I come again, there will be a handful of vegetables, a few eggs or a basket of peanuts at home...

It was quickly outlined, the pigsty and the shower room were nothing special, only the latrine was divided into two sections with mud brick walls in between, and the latrine was separated from the squatting place, which made it easy to explain.

After they were all covered with thatched roofs, it seemed as if the heavens opened their eyes and it rained hard.

Su Youli went to look at the small pond very happily, almost slipped down, and came back covered in mud, he was dumbfounded.

People always come up with a solution. This small pond is only a few meters long. It is barely a pond. It is just a small pit. There is not much wood in the house, but there are bamboo forests outside the river!Together with many people, they dragged moso bamboos, nailed them into bamboo rafts, and blocked them to the side, leaving only a small entrance to fetch water with wooden barrels.

Now that the house has been built and it's raining again, there are quite a few people who come to see the finished product. They still keep people for dinner, and others refuse, but Su Youli still invites people from house to house. He can't help others, so he won't eat, right? I feel sorry for it.

They were all unpretentious men in the first place, so they didn't refuse much. In the Su family's kitchen and the shed beside them, three tables were crowded together, all of which were meals prepared by Mrs. Li with Pinellia.

After Su Youli drank, he talked a lot more than before.

Ban Xia could tell that he was at ease in his heart. Although the former Su Youli was just as down-to-earth and willing to work, he almost always held back and wrinkled his forehead. At this time, among so many people, he looked at Much better.

How good it has been going on like this.

She really didn't expect that Su Youli would suddenly get closer to people outside because of such an incident.

Of course, this matter is not over yet.

As soon as Banxia's family's shower room came into use, Qiu's side built an identical one, and then it seemed as if they were infected, and many other families followed suit.

Such things are naturally not easy for a family with one or two men, and Su Youli often goes out to help. Although there is no salary, his whole body is obviously much more lively.

Ban Xia can feel this kind of atmosphere very well. When walking in the village before, people always pass by with a faint smile, and even those who were offended by the Su Qian family in the past simply ignored them.

Now when I go out, there are obviously more people saying hello, smiling, "How did you come up with this, after all these years, it's the first time I feel so clean!"

There are a few women who don't want to be comfortable and clean. Ban Xia never imagined that one day, her house will completely enter the sight of the villagers because of things like toilets!

The chai gate became somewhat useless, and more people came to visit the door through the cobblestone road.Those who came to ask Su Youli to help take a look, those who asked Su Youli to go over to drink, some who came to ask Mrs. Li about sewing, some who came to grow vegetables, some who came to ask how to make glutinous rice cakes, and some who came to talk if they had nothing to do, and some even quarreled with Mrs. Li Complaining...

Su Youli was originally an honest person, but he was not very talkative in the past, and he sold tofu all day long, so he never had time to relax. This time, when he got in touch with others, he was a person who would rather suffer himself than let others suffer. On the contrary, it is more valued by others.

So, slowly, I was able to say something.

It turned out that only Su Youde had the courtesy, and he also had it.

Apart from short-term discomfort and panic, Su Youli was fine.

After so many years, it seems that the people in the village have only discovered that the third bedroom of the Su family, the Su Youli family after the separation, is a very good family.

The Su family's courtyard was originally the same as before, but now compared to the hustle and bustle of people on Su Youli's side, it seemed rather desolate.

There was still no response, as if it had just disappeared like this.

Occasionally, Banxia would unlock the door and look into the yard, or if Mint wanted to find her, she would knock on the door here.

On this day, Ban Xia was about to go to visit Wu Mei, when the door opened, she was knocked, if she hadn't been hiding quickly, she would not know what to do.

The person who rushed in the door obviously didn't know that the door opened suddenly, so he rushed straight to the yard on the other side, "I don't want to be like a pig!"

Mrs. Zhou has already chased to the door with a broom.

Ban Xia didn't care about the pain on her body, "Stop—"
