The rural life of a peasant girl

Chapter 42

"This, this." Su's father rubbed his hands anxiously, looking at the old parents, Su's mother didn't say much this time.

"Okay, fifth daughter-in-law, don't say a word, second child, I've made a note of your family building a new house. On the day when you get up, father will help you and call your brother to join you." Father Su said very dignifiedly.

After hearing this, Feng Shi gritted her teeth secretly, but dared not say anything more.

Building a house is a big deal. Generally speaking, folks are asked to help. There are adobe houses and blue brick houses. Of course, given the current situation of Su Ling's house, it must be a blue brick house. It is bright and bright. spacious.

Su's father hired someone to help in the village. He took care of one meal a day, and the salary was only fifty copper coins a day. , will soon be doing food and eating mountains, so when they heard that the Su family was going to build a new house and asked the villagers to help, they were very active.

In the end, thirty men who looked honest, honest, and willing to work were selected, including Niu Tian, ​​the son of Grandpa Niu who came to help Su Ling's land reclamation, and Zhang Sheng.

Su's father and Grandpa Niu go to pull blue bricks every day, hoping to pull enough bricks early and start the house quickly.

The fact that the Su family built a house quickly swept the entire Huaxi Village, and the meeting was discussing this matter.

Some said that the Su family had made a fortune, and all they needed to build were courtyards with three entrances, and they had to install glazed tiles. The bright and bright ones were glazed tiles!It's worth the money!

Some also said that the Su family didn't know what kind of shady business they did to get such a windfall, or they had so much money to build a big courtyard.

"Hehe, my family lives in a big house, but my parents still live in an adobe house, so I don't know how he can live with his conscience." Fifth Aunt Su came over with a pretty face and said.

When everyone saw that it was from the Su family, they stopped discussing it.

"Oh, I just went out and forgot that the water in the water tank at home was gone. I went back to fetch water." Saying goodbye.

"Me too, look, let me tell you that I forgot to do my clothes." After finishing speaking, he left.

Seeing that everyone had left, Fifth Aunt Su said, "Bah." "They're not all good birds, hum."

Anyway, opinions vary.

Su Ling has no time to deal with these rumors now, she is busy!The house she designed will be built soon, and she will help Su's mother cook for the people who come to help, and she will go to see if the house is built according to her design.

Originally, the houses at this time were built directly without a foundation, but Su Ling still specifically asked them to provide a foundation. Although it would take more time and money, a house is related to a lifetime , so we must pay attention to it.

At this time, there was no cement, and the foundation was built entirely with stones and compacted with manpower. This was a very laborious task. Everyone couldn't understand Su Ling's behavior, but they had to obey the master's order. The foundation was raised by about half a meter. This was done to prevent floods. This can be said to be a precautionary measure. Although she has never heard of floods in Huaxi Village, it is inevitable to prevent them!He still understands this truth.

Grandpa Su also objected to Su Ling's approach. He couldn't understand what the granddaughter's time-consuming and labor-intensive approach was for. As a supervisor, he really wanted to tell everyone not to listen to a little girl, but Father Su couldn't believe it. To support Su Ling, he can't let his son down in front of everyone!

So I could only whisper to Father Su quietly.

"Second brother! You let Ling'er, a little girl, make trouble like this. This, this, this is so disrespectful!" Grandpa Su looked angrily, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was angry. Of course, Grandpa Su He was really angry, he couldn't understand why his son listened to a little girl, but he couldn't argue with Su Ling, it would be too embarrassing for him, so he could only get angry with his second son.

"Father, Ling'er's design is from the book, and what she said about flood prevention is also very correct!" Father Su could only answer in pale words to Grandpa Su's scolding.In fact, he still believes in his daughter, otherwise life at home would not be so easy now.

"You, you, you are simply... I mean, I can't say you, spend the money! It's the right thing to build it as soon as possible." Grandpa Su pointed to Father Su with a look of regret on his face, he felt It's okay for this son to listen to his second wife, but now he is being led by the nose by his daughter, really...

Grandpa Su looked at his son's appearance, and knew that it was useless to say it. Now that the building is so high, it is impossible to tear it down and build it again!I also ignored Su's father, and went to help pass the bricks, and Su's father also went to work.

"Ah Zhen, what are you going to do with this pig's head! There are so many hairs." Aunt Li asked Mother Su.

"Ask Ling'er about this later, she asked to buy it, and I don't know how to deal with it." Mother Su replied.

"He'er, you're so good today, and you're helping Aunt Zhou (Niu Tian's wife Zhou Guihua) and Qin Aunt (Zhang Sheng's wife Qin Fang) choose vegetables!" As soon as Su Ling entered the courtyard, she saw them sitting in front of her. Picking dishes, greeted them one by one, and made fun of Suho.It's really that Su Ho is usually too lazy, it's hard to get her to work, if you want her to work, you have to seduce her.

"Ling'er is back." Osmanthus and Qin Fang asked with a smile.

"Yeah." He also moved a small stool and sat on the side to help.

In the kitchen, Mother Su heard Su Ling's voice.

"But Ling'er is back, come in and help."

"Hey, here we come." Putting down the vegetables in his hand, he walked in.

"Mother, what do you want me to do?" Su Ling walked into the kitchen, walked around, and found that there was nothing to do by herself!

"You girl, you don't listen to me telling you not to buy this pig's head, and now your Aunt Li doesn't know how to make it, so tell me how to cook it! Don't let it go to waste!" Mother Su clicked Su Ling in a hurry head of.

"This! Put it on the fire for a while, remove the hair, and then I will teach my mother how to cook it so that it can be delicious."

"Okay! Now go and light a fire for Aunt Li so that she can remove the hair from the pig's head." After finishing speaking, he continued to work.

Su Ling and Aunt Li quickly cleaned the pig's head and removed all the hair. In the end, Su's mother used the pig's head to make a stewed pork head. It was simple and delicious. Two pig's ears were specially cut out to serve with cold pig's ears. , refreshing, not greasy.

Even Aunt Li sighed that it was good.

A few people made dough and made white flour steamed buns. Although there were not many dishes, there were only various dishes of pork head meat and pig offal. They also went to Tianyue Restaurant to bring back two roast ducks. In addition to vegetarian dishes, there are all kinds of dishes There is a dish left, but there are a lot of white flour steamed buns, which is enough.
