Splendid Pastoral: The Strong and Hot Wife

Chapter 97 Reunion

Seeing that he had already choked, Xu Xiaomi returned to his seat and said, "This lime is a kind of adhesive used to build houses.

We have already burned it, and this time the ditches in the village have been repaired, and they have been used as flour ash.

Everyone saw that the surface of the ditch plastered with lime is smooth and ants cannot build nests, and it is cheaper than glutinous rice pulp.

It can also be used for drying rice fields, which are smooth and hard to dry rice on, and the wheat is cleaner than the soil drying fields! "

When Xu Xiaomi said this, the three of them stared at her with wide eyes, thinking in their hearts, is it really as good as she said?
The most impatient was Qiu Yongzheng. He stared at his starry eyes and asked in disbelief: "Miss Xu, what kind of lime is it really as good as you said?"

Xu Xiaomi turned to look at Qiu Yongzheng and nodded, "Yes, Brother Qiu, if you don't believe me, come and visit Xujia Village with me later!

And ah!Brother Qiu, don't you ever call me girl before girl and back, it will ruin me.You can call me Xiaomi or the same as Uncle Yu, you can also call me a girl! "

Qiu Yongzheng blushed again when he heard this, and said shyly, "Okay! Little...Xiaomi, sister!"

Qiu Qiming was very interested in the lime that Xu Xiaomi said, and said with a smile: "Girl! I want to visit your old friend for many years. Your grandfather told you about the burnt lime. Would you like to lead the way? "

Xu Xiaomi stood up respectfully and said to Qiu Qiming, "The old general came to my humble house, and Xiaomi couldn't wish for it! Then let's set off now!"

Qiu Yongzheng couldn't help feeling a little nervous when he heard this. He stood beside his grandfather and looked at him helplessly.

Xindao: Grandpa is the elder of the three dynasties, and he is used to living a life of luxury and luxury in the capital these years.Will you not get used to going to a poor farm all of a sudden?

Xu Xiaomi stood two steps away from him, heard what was in his heart clearly, and looked at him with a smile.

Qiu Yongzheng felt that someone was looking at him and turned his head, and saw Xu Xiaomi smiling at him.Seeing this, his heart went numb, his heart beat faster, he felt the blood rising straight up, and his face was as hot as if he was being roasted by fire.

Qiu Yongzheng suddenly felt dry mouth and shortness of breath, he hurriedly lowered his head and turned around to pick up the teacup on the table, and gulped down the tea in the cup.

I thought: What's wrong with me?Xiaomi is only so young, how can I think about it?It's so unnatural to see her, but I miss her very much when I don't see her, why is that?

Hearing what he said in his heart, Xu Xiaomi hurriedly turned his face to support Qiu Qiming's arm and walked out!

While walking, he cursed in his heart: Qiu Yongzheng, you pervert, I'm only ten years old, and you're starting to think about my aunt?Seeing that my aunt finds an opportunity and doesn't teach you a lesson, it's no wonder!

She helped Qiu Qiming out of the gate, and Qiu Yongzheng walked out with Yu Zhimo who was walking behind behind him!

Yu Zhimo asked Agui to drive the carriage, and the four of them went to Xujia Village together.

Zhou Xuewu, who was laying bricks and building a house, never dreamed that he would see his long-awaited savior soon!

They are mixing lime and sand according to the proportion given by Xu Xiaomi, and building the house is in full swing.

Because his granddaughter said that the house must be repaired before it rained, so he and his sons and grandsons worked from dawn to dusk.

The whole house was walled up in four days; today is day five and they've put the girders up this morning!

The prototype of the whole house has been fixed, and now it is getting dark, Zhou Xuewu plans to plaster the lower wall with lime, in Xu Xiaomi's words, it is to paint the wall again.

He was using a hoe and dust when he heard the sound of horses' hooves on the road outside. He looked up and saw his lovely granddaughter jumped out of the carriage.

Xu Xiaomi looked at the door of the house, just in time to see her grandfather looking at her.

He hurriedly shouted: "Grandpa! Wash your hands quickly, the distinguished guest is coming! I brought you back the person you have missed for a long time!"

Zhou Xuewu laughed and said, "You kid, you're being naughty again! I..."

Before Zhou Xuewu finished speaking, he saw an old man in his 60s wearing a dark green brocade robe, with white jade hair, eyebrows drawn into the temples, deep eyes, a Chinese character face, and a short beard. turn out.

Xu Xiaomi hurriedly put the small stool on the shaft of the car on the ground, and let Qiu Qiming step on it to get off the car.

Yu Zhimo was helped out of the car by Qiu Yongzheng. Because of the fright, Yu Zhimo was still walking tremblingly.

As soon as Qiu Qiming got out of the car, he went straight to Zhou Xuewu, looked at him with red eyes, stretched out his hand to hold Zhou Xuewu's lime-stained hand and said, "Brother! Do you still recognize me as an old brother?"

Zhou Xuewu saw that the familiar face was covered with wrinkles, and the black hair on his head had turned into white hair.For a moment, the excited old man burst into tears and said: "Old brother! Old brother has been waiting for you in this place for decades, and I want to see you even in my dreams!

At that time, I was too stupid to ask your name, woo woo... woo... I didn't think about it until I became sensible!
Fortunately, I lived up to my brother's wishes and planted the crops. In the second year, I heard people say that our Da Zhou wiped out Chen Guo!

Since then, I have never heard from my brother again!In a blink of an eye, decades have passed!
Unexpectedly, one day we will meet again!God didn't let me take this regret into the coffin, I really thank God! "

Seeing Zhou Xuewu speak emotionally and cry sadly, Qiu Qiming drew out his feelings that had been buried for many years.

He also said emotionally: "Yes! If it weren't for the meeting of the two children and the girl's intentions, we two old brothers may only miss each other in this life!"

Hearing that Xu Xiaomi brought someone back, Xu Xiaomi's uncle and cousins ​​who were busy at home all came out.

Everyone saw two affectionate and righteous old people holding hands and talking about the longing that had been buried in their hearts for many years and could not be mentioned to their families.Everyone was moved to tears.

Xu Xiaomi and Qiu Yongzheng knew how difficult it was for them to meet again, and when they saw the two old people finally meet, they cried even harder.

The old man was crying and wanted to wipe his tears with his hands. Xu Xiaomi hurriedly stepped forward to hold the hands of the two, and said in a crying voice: "Go and wash it! There is lime on this hand, so you can't wipe your eyes!" "

At this time, standing behind them, Zhou Yuqing, who was crying, hurriedly fetched a basin of water.

The two old men went to wash their hands, and Xu Xiaomi's uncles hurriedly put the big round table away!This big round table was made according to Xu Xiaomi's drawings, and a beautiful and simple armchair was specially matched to the table.

In a spacious new house that has not been repaired, a dozen people can sit around this table.

After the two old men washed their hands and came over to sit at the main seat, Zhou Xuewu began to introduce himself, son, wife, daughter, son-in-law, grandson, granddaughter, and grandson to Qiu Qiming.

Zhou Xuewu also introduced Xu Xiaomi emphatically, saying that the house was designed by Xu Xiaomi herself, that she taught everyone to burn the lime, and the use of the lime.

He also pointed out to Qiu Qiming the brick walls made of lime and the walls plastered with lime.

Qiu Qiming saw that the plastered wall was white and smooth, so he reached out to touch it.

He smiled and said: "This kid! You really know how to tinker with things. If every household in Dazhou uses this to wipe the walls, can it be supplied here?"

When Xu Xiaomi heard it, the business opportunity is coming!

She hurried forward and said, "Old General..."

Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened her mouth, Qiu Qiming waved her hand and said, "You child, why are you still so polite? You can no longer be called the old general, you should be called grandpa like Zheng'er!"

Xu Xiaomi began to see him waving his hands, thinking that he didn't want to hear what she had to say!After listening to it, I realized how small I was, so I stuck out my tongue!
He smiled and said, "Grandpa! You don't have to worry that we won't be able to supply it here. If it's a little farther away from Qinglong Town, we can get materials locally.

This is very simple to burn. The men and women in our family know how to do it. As long as there is a large demand, we can send a special person to the local stone place to fire it in a Lei kiln! "

Qiu Qiming looked at her excitedly, and thought: This girl is not simple!

With such a flexible mind and such complex needs, I don't know what good ideas she will come up with in a few years. It seems that Zheng'er has a vision!
Such a good girl is hard to find even with a lantern!I will definitely fulfill them in the future!Ha ha!
However, I just don't know if the child is engaged?

It was a coincidence that what Qiu Qiming was thinking in his heart was heard by Xu Xiaomi.

She thought: I am still young, and I haven't reached the age to discuss marriage!Regardless of him, the most important thing is to use their relationship first to earn the money!
Qiu Qiming is scheming, how does he know that Xu Xiaomi can spy on his thoughts?
He continued: "This is very good! Zheng'er! You will have to worry about it in the future. The embankment is being built every year in Dazhou, but every time the front is built and the back is washed away by the water!

In the future, when encountering such a project, let them build it with a lot of lime ginseng. I wonder if it will be built every year and collapse every year? "

Qiu Yongzheng had been standing beside his grandfather and listening, when his grandfather mentioned it, he quickly bowed and said, "Yes!

Grandpa, and to build the city wall, I also suggest using more lime, which costs not much silver and is stronger than other materials.I think the emperor will definitely agree when he sees it! "

Qiu Qiming listened to his grandson's analysis clearly and logically, and nodded with a smile: "Yes! Good boy! We will pay more attention to this news in the future!"

Xu Xiaomi saw that everyone was talking very well, so she went out to help her mother and grandma cook!
Tonight, Xu Xiaomi made braised pork with wild boar meat, spicy sausage, and stewed braised pork with preserved vegetables.This plum vegetable is replaced by dried wild vegetables, and the taste is not as good as modern ones.

However, here, everyone is very fond of these new dishes.

Especially the grandparents of the Qiu family, tonight they can be regarded as having a full stomach.

Qiu Qiming also asked while eating: "Girl! Are you cooking these dishes? They taste good! The cooks in the capital need to improve! I have been in the capital for a long time and I don't know what to eat!
