Xianggong farming

Chapter 103 Building a house 5
After washing at night, Ji Xinmiao yawned and went to bed. She was indeed a little tired that day. After washing the two children and letting Erqin take them there, she felt that she couldn't lift her eyelids.

As soon as Qi Dalang came in and saw her tired appearance, he sat beside her and let her lie on the bed, rubbing her and talking to her: "Daughter-in-law, why don't I tell everyone tomorrow that the salary will be increased to fifty copper coins a day?" , we don’t care about food anymore.”

Ji Xinmiao thought for a while and asked, "Is there anyone in this village who hires people to build houses or doesn't care about food?"

Qi Dalang shook his head: "It seems not."

Ji Xinmiao closed her eyes and said, "Our family only has three or four days of work. If I'm really afraid that I'll be tired and ignore the food, won't I be laughed to death by others? Forget it, let's be tired for a few more days and finish all this work." That’s fine. But when our family builds a big house, I think it’s better to contract it out for others to cook. If I cook like this every day for a month, I’ll be really tired.”

Qi Dalang said happily: "Okay, I promise you, I will definitely build you a big house to live in. You can take care of the food, everyone ate the pig you fried today, and they all clamored to let their daughter-in-law fry it too." Eat. It’s just that you’ve worked so hard and I’m very distressed, tomorrow I’ll call Lin Chenglai and Fan Qi’s wife to help you, and I’ll give them thirty dollars a day, what do you think?”

Ji Xinmiao nodded drowsily: "Okay, you can make the decision."

Qi Dalang grabbed her little feet enthusiastically and asked, "I'm the one who decides here?"

Ji Xinmiao was shocked all of a sudden: "You don't belong to the ox, do you?"

Qi Dalang was stunned: "Daughter-in-law, I am not a cow, I am a horse."

Ji Xinmiao curled her lips: "I'm not a cow, so how can I be more diligent than the old cow in this matter?"

Qi Dalang was startled when he heard the words, and then he laughed: "Hahaha... Daughter-in-law, where did you come up with this idea? But let me tell you, I really think I should be born in the year of the ox! Daughter-in-law, blowing the lights to plow the fields!"

"Go! Give me some sunshine, you're really brilliant! I'm tired today, I don't bother to talk to you, I'm going to sleep." Ji Xinmiao pushed away the big body that was pressing on her like a stone roller, and was about to turn around and go to sleep.

The two were having fun, when suddenly Erqin called out from the door: "Brother, sister-in-law, have you rested yet?"

Ji Xinmiao was taken aback and immediately replied: "I just want to rest."

"Well, that mother let the two of you go over here." Qi Erqin's words were really hard to say.

Seeing his sister's embarrassed face, Qi Dalang guessed what was going on in his heart.The couple were about to have a good time, but the old woman really didn't wink.But it was impossible not to go, so he reluctantly said: "Second sister, your sister-in-law and I will come right away."

The two of them came back after a while, and what Qi Li was going to say was indeed what Qi Dalang had guessed.Ji Xinmiao despises Qi Li's narrow-mindedness.

Back in the room, Qi Dalang had an indescribable expression on his face: "Daughter-in-law, don't worry about the money. I didn't pay for the hunting with Brother Hu last time."

Ji Xinmiao smiled: "Hiring a helper is a matter of spending money. What should I care about? Hiring a brother is also a favor, and an outsider is also a favor, but the work of a brother is definitely better than that of an outsider. I I don’t care about it. It’s just that Brother Hu bought the prey you hunted, are you really relieved?”

Hearing Ji Xinmiao's test, Qi Dalang immediately said seriously: "Daughter-in-law, maybe I am worried about others, but I am absolutely at ease with Brother Hu. The land I bought for Huzi and the others is also in Brother Hu's village. , Everything was bought with his help. I have a lifelong friendship with him, and he will not abandon my brother for these few taels of silver."

Ji Xinmiao smiled faintly and didn't answer any more.Because she didn't understand the friendship of the ancients deeply enough, so she couldn't find the comments either.Coming from the modern world where she lived in a single unit for ten years and didn't know each other, she really couldn't believe that there is such a kind of life and death with friends for the word friendship.

The world she lives in follows: there are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies.The seamstress only talks about three points, so don't throw all your heart away.Those are far from Qi Dalang's beliefs, they are really two worlds.

Ji Xinmiao smiled faintly, she didn't feel it herself, but in Qi Dalang's eyes, it seemed as if she had entered an old forest, she couldn't see the edge, and she suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Does she still have a little bit of herself in her heart?Maybe he's still not good enough.

Because the family invited someone, Li Jinshi has been coming to Qi's family to help, because she thinks that the new sister-in-law is a good person, so she is very happy to help.But there was one thing she wasn't satisfied with, she just didn't speak up.

On this day, Ji Xinmiao asked her to buy meat again with money. Li Jinshi persuaded: "Xinmiao, these days there is meat for every meal. I think it's better to eat. Generally, people who hire helpers eat three meals a day." If you can see slices of meat at one meal, it is considered good. You are good, you have a big bowl of meat, and if you continue like this, you can’t do it.”

Ji Xinmiao got acquainted with her and knew that Li Jinshi is a straightforward person, so she smiled and said, "Sister Jin, do you think I'm a prodigal?"

Seeing through Ji Xinmiao's mind, Li Jin blushed: "I don't mean that, it's not easy for Dalang to save some money, and you didn't get any money after dividing the family, so there's no need to be so generous."

Ji Xinmiao smiled gratefully: "Sister-in-law Jin, don't pay attention to my joking, I am really grateful that you think about our family. You can hire helpers, as the master, if you are stingy about food, then How can anyone really help you? And this money is not from Da Lang, but from my mother as a dowry."

Li Jinshi was even more embarrassed: "Xin Miao, it's my sister-in-law who is narrow-minded."

Li Jinshi was the first person in the village who treated Ji Xinmiao honestly after she married into the Qi family, and she didn't want to embarrass Li Jinshi by this.So she approached Li Jin and said sincerely: "Sister-in-law Jin, Li Deng and Da Lang get along better than brothers, but you are like Xin Miao's sister-in-law. I was the eldest in my mother's family, and married into Qi's family. It is the eldest daughter-in-law, so I treat you as my own sister-in-law from the bottom of my heart. You can say that about me today, which means that you also treat me as your own brother and sister. Xinmiao hereby makes a request, if I do not do well in the future Please ask sister-in-law Jin to point me to the right place, I am grateful to my brothers and sisters."

Li Jin's face turned normal now, and she said briskly, "Xin Miao, don't be too polite. My sister-in-law, I was born as a village woman. I can't think as far as you do about many things. Don't say anything in the future. As long as you don't If you think I'm vulgar, I'll tell you directly if you have anything to say, and you can tell me directly if you have anything to do, it's only natural that we get along for a long time."

Ji Xinmiao smiled sincerely: "Sister-in-law Jin is right, then I will go to the butcher shop today."
