Liu An Hua Ming You Yi Village

Chapter 32

On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, Du Youzhong, Mr. Du and Mrs. Qi talked in the room for a long time, then said goodbye to his wife and children with a salute, and went to the town to 'work'.The boss is gone here, the old man is not in charge, the youngest Du Youxian has become the leader.

Except for the first snowfall last year, the rest has not snowed again. Before Du Youzhong left, he explained that he wanted to dig a well in his yard. At first, the Qi family objected, thinking it was a waste of money. After all, there are wells in the village. Why bother?
But after talking to Du Youzhong, he agreed, and he took action soon.

Let Du Youxian find someone to dig the well.Yangliu Village belongs to the central region, neither too cold nor too hot. Once the first month is over, the soil will thaw. Once the soil thaws, work can start. Even the eldest brother-in-law Wei Masonry has been invited to build a house. He is an expert in well digging, but he also has research on digging wells. He has to pay attention to how to dig wells and where to dig to get sweet water.

Mr. Feng Shui does not need to be invited, but before the excavation, papers and incense are burned before starting.

If we say that digging a well in ancient times is a laborious job, it has to be dug with shovel by shovel, and the deeper it gets, the more difficult it is to dig. The soil has to be slowly transported out from the bottom with a rope.Only when the water came out in the middle could bricklaying begin. Du Yu's family dug a well, and some people from the village came to watch the fun.

After all, it costs a lot of money to dig a well, and it is under the premise that there is a free shared well in the village.

The Qi family and several daughters-in-law said to the outside world that they will start grinding tofu at home in the future, and it is far away from the entrance of the village. It takes too much effort and time to get up so early every day, so it is convenient to dig a well at a time. .

The well was dug and built, and the people who invited them all ate, drank, paid, and left, but the well was still unusable because the water in the well was still turbid, and it needed to rest for a few days. It can only be used when it is clean and clear. In order to make water convenient for everyone, a wheel is also installed to save effort.

In this way, Du Yu doesn't have to go to the entrance of the village to pick up water for his household, and in his own yard, he doesn't have to worry about someone making trouble.

However, the neighbors in this neighborhood need water, and the Du family also welcomes it, so why do they need to be stingy and not allow others to use water?
What's more, this water either needs to be bought with money, or it cost some money when digging the well.

With this well, I will have more confidence to speak in the future.Just imagine, the person who has been fetching water at your house is not easy to turn on you and scold you casually.He is generous and easy to get along with the people around him.Besides, it doesn't cost anything.

Of course, if the neighbors want to carry water here, it must be in broad daylight. They can't just hang out in other people's yards all the time. This is also against the rules. After all, there is no place to carry water.

For example, if the Du family is away for something, the courtyard door must be locked. You can’t open the courtyard door just because your house needs to carry water. If a thief comes in and steals things, who is to blame?

Originally, he had good intentions, but this kindness could not be based on the premise of harming his own interests, so the well was used like this.

Not to mention, what they said about making tofu was not for nothing. Since February, after the well was built, Du Youxian and his brothers started to grind tofu, and the village also knew about it. Usually, if someone has guests at home or wants to improve the taste, they will come here to buy a piece of two pieces of tofu.

These are of course a small quantity, and most of them are Du Youxian who will push a wheelbarrow to sell in other villages, and if there is a market, then he has to do more and go directly to the market to sell.

According to what Du Youxian himself said, since you have a family, you must have the skills to support your family. You can't still rely on your elder brother. If you have nothing to do by yourself, it would be too bad for your wife and children to rely on your elder brother to support them. That's right.

Therefore, we must also add items to this family.

People are really different. Du Youliang wants to live well for his wife and children, but his brothers, sisters and parents are not included, but Du Youxian is just the opposite, he doesn't have the idea of ​​only having a small family.

Every day is very fulfilling. The Qi family also announced after the year that everyone can save part of the money they earn in the future. For example, Du Youzhong, the two taels of wages is quite a lot. After all, the majority of the family is here , but also to marry Du Youde and Du Youquan daughter-in-law, then Du Youzhong's other income, such as rewards, etc., she doesn't need it, let the big house save it by herself, it is the needlework made by the daughter-in-law herself, take it out After selling the money, she didn't want it anymore, treating it as her daughter-in-law's private money.

Du Youxian from the third room sells tofu. Apart from the capital, half of the money he earns is handed over to them and the other half is kept for themselves. will be so tight.Lest everyone will complain.

It's hard to say if people's hearts are not in harmony.

In particular, the eldest son told himself that there is a high possibility of a severe drought this year, and that everyone will suffer together in the future, so it is even more important to be united.

As for telling others that a severe drought is coming?I'm sorry, she's not that kind, and if she said something she wasn't sure about, if she didn't, she would be a rumor-monger, and she would be drowned by spitting stars in the future.

At this time, she took care of her family's well-being, and she didn't even plan to talk about her married daughter, but she had to start buying the food slowly.Fortunately, there is a cellar next to their main house, so if you buy it, put it in the cellar first.

Du Yu's family was developing in the direction of prosperity, and then Zhang's said that they stole things from Du Tao. For this reason, Qi's and Du Yu's explosions broke out, and Liu and Zhang's They were all disgraced.

Du Yu also deeply felt that Zhang's grandma was really outrageous, not to mention anything else, in the first month, when something happened to your daughter, they must have helped out anyway, and my father still After a lot of effort, he hired the head catcher in the yamen, and even invited people to eat afterward. Could it be that all this can be done by drinking northwest wind?

Mrs. Zhang, don't say thank you, at least you don't play tricks behind your back, right?

It's a good thing she reacted quickly to arrange such a thing about her own house with others, and there are people in this village who know the truth.

And that Mrs. Liu, Du Yu doesn't even call her second aunt now. What are you trying to make them look like? You are the one who co-authored it with us, and then you pretended to be like that. Really disgusting.

Du Yu really wanted to kick Xiaobaihua a few times to relieve his anger.No wonder grandma doesn't like her. This kind of temperament and character are completely opposite.

Their family, grandma Qi Shi, is a top-notch person with a big temper, but they are all face to face, and they will never ask for mercy with weakness. Besides, your weakness is not really weak, and there is bad water in your heart Woolen cloth.

Du Yu's mother is not the kind of white lotus, she is also a person who talks when she has something to say. If Mrs. Liu doesn't talk, it can make people think that it means that others are bullying her.

Du Yu will keep a respectful distance from this kind of person in the future. Although Du Tao is very good, but because of this matter, her family will almost be misunderstood. She should try to avoid Du Tao as much as possible.If you can't afford it, I can hide it.

Before dawn in the morning, there were people at the well. It was the third uncle and the others who started making tofu. Du Yu turned over on the bed. If you want to talk about the little baby, she really goes to bed early and gets up early, and she has no consciousness of sleeping late. sex.

They get up whenever there is movement outside, and making tofu is also very hard work. Some people make a living by making tofu, and they have to get up in the middle of the night to start grinding beans, but on their side, tofu is not the main business, so there is no need It was so early, the weather was not hot, and the tofu made would not go bad. Even if it was made at noon, it would be fine. The most important thing was not to damage the body.

During the slack season, you can do it every day. When the farming season is busy, you have to stop. After all, the crops in the field are the most important.

"Ah, the gong has been knocked on again, isn't there something else going on?" The people who came to fetch water from Du's house heard the sound of gongs in the village. They have to go to the big willow tree at the entrance of the village to listen to the instructions together. Apart from harvesting crops, it is for tax matters, and there is nothing else to do corvee.
