Xiaoqiao Liushui Renjia

Chapter 31

Because Mrs. Wu borrowed money from her natal family, Ye Zhu went to Lizheng to find land the next day, and Lixia and Xiaoqiao followed suit. Mrs. Wu felt that Lixia was the eldest son of the family, and it was a big deal to build a house. Should follow.

As for Xiaoqiao, the family is separated, and he doesn't have to work every day like before, and has more time.So I also pestered to come to Lizheng's house with my father and elder brother.

Li Zheng had also seen the separation of Ye Laoer's family, and when he heard Ye Zhu say that he wanted to find a place to build a house, he said, "It's fine to come out and build a house. Do you have any places you fancy?"

Ye Zhu said: "The wasteland at the end of the village, I wonder if anyone has reclaimed it?"

Lizheng Ye Wuye said: "The place is a bit out of the way, and there is a muddy pool. In summer, mosquitoes are terrible."

After hearing this, Li Xia said, "Fifth Grandpa, we'll just dig out the water." The place looks huge, and because of the muddy pool, the price must be cheap. If they buy it, this kind of There is also a place for vegetables, but people work harder, so I am not afraid of these.

But Ye Xiaoqiao was thinking, pool?Is it possible to just dig a lotus pond like this, and plant lotus root in it to raise fish? Isn’t it better than digging again?
Is it?
"Father, let's buy it, let's buy it." Xiaoqiao said hurriedly.Grandpa Lizheng Wu said with a smile: "You see, your little girl is a little anxious, that's all, since you have made up your mind, then buy it. As long as you work hard, that piece of land will be quite big. When the time comes I'll go to the county and sign the paperwork."

Ye Zhu thanked Li Zheng, and of course gave some money. Although the wasteland was not worth much, the people in the yamen still needed to spend money for the paperwork. It is said that money is easy to do.

After the matter of the land was settled, Ye Zhu discussed with Mrs. Wu, thinking that they didn't have much money on hand, so they didn't count on those green brick and tile houses. The five rooms in the house are all blue brick and tile houses.Very good.

They decided to build an adobe house.This adobe brick house is made of mud and straw in advance. If possible, mix rice soup and use a mold to make rectangular bricks. Although they are not as good as burnt green bricks, they are still strong enough. People who have no money in the countryside can build houses. , They all use this kind of adobe bricks, and then brush the surface with mud again, and it looks neat.

It's just that it takes a lot of work to make adobe bricks, but now I'm doing it for my own home, so I'm not afraid of hard work.

A piece of wasteland at the end of the village was cleared after a few days. Ye Zhu and Wu took the children to weed the grass. It turned out that the withered grass in winter was also burned. The rest will be easy to deal with. Ye Xiaoqiao I also made several baskets of purslane, some of which were eaten now, and some of them were soaked in water, and then dried in the sun. When the time came, I used the dried purslane to make buns, which tasted delicious.

Country people have no good things, so they can only find ways to do it.

And everyone in the Ye family's yard knew that the second child's family was going to build another house.Mrs. Guo said to Old Man Ye: "Look, the second child is honest, he is fine now, he was the first to build a house, so it can be seen that he usually hides the most wages. Maybe the last time I went to the two girls Besides, I gave it to him in private, otherwise we can get the house so excitedly? Every time I say that I am unfair, I don’t think I will do that, maybe why.” Now the family is separated, Mrs. Guo Now I have to cook by myself, the son and daughter in the family, she is reluctant to let them do it, let the old man cook?That's even more impossible, so she's the only one left. This is another reason why she doesn't want to separate the family. If there is no separation, there will be a daughter-in-law who cooks.Now that the family is separated, isn't it her turn?

This is not going to work, it seems that the fourth child has to marry a wife!In the past, a matchmaker talked about marriage. She felt that if her son could be admitted to the scholar this time, he would marry a girl from the city no matter what. With a generous dowry, his son would be able to live well even with his wife's dowry.

Now that the fourth child has this incident, Xiucai can't be counted on this year, but if she has to wait until next year, won't she have to cook for a whole year?
In fact, in the countryside, it's not natural for this woman to cook, it's just that Mrs. Guo has been raised, that's why she is like this.The meals for the four of them are very easy to cook, how many daughters-in-law don't cook more than her?
Guo also thought of the two pigs at home, they have to eat every day, and there is not enough slops at all. At her age, she still has to go out to hunt pigweed. Fortunately, there are no pigs in those houses yet, but they can be used to theirs.Now that the second child is about to move out, does this pig really want to raise it by himself?

Ye Hui'er heard what Mother said, and said: "Mother, why do you want to raise pigs? It won't work to sell those two pigs to them. I don't believe that they will not give us pork!"

"If I sell it to them, where will the money for your brother's study come from? You will rely on these two pigs all year long."

Ye Hui'er said: "Mother, we used to have eight acres of paddy fields, so many people ate, so we didn't sell much. Now the four of us only have eight acres of paddy fields. Isn't it enough to sell more? Also, you and dad don't understand Isn’t it right to ask them for pension money? Who said that you shouldn’t have pension after you split up?”

"Oh, my girl, you are so smart. My mother didn't even think that I should give us money. That is, after the family is separated, isn't it your father's son? Even if I am not my mother, your father is theirs. , you have to be filial during the festivals, not to mention the money to feed us."

Ye Hui'er was even more proud to see her mother praising her. This idea was also told by her fourth brother. She thought it made sense, that is, her father is the biological father of those people.

So Mrs. Guo talked to old man Ye, and old man Ye called the three sons in front of him to the main room again, and several sisters-in-law also got together, because they knew that nothing good would happen if they called them over, and they were also worried , Hao said: "The family is separated, why are things still going on? Second sister-in-law, I am also going to start making adobe bricks. It is so annoying to enclose this yard!"

Mrs. Liu said: "You are just circled. The old man called someone. Are you going or not? I don't know what kind of moth it is. I reckon it has something to do with money. I don't know if you two brothers and sisters are outside these days. I heard her say something about her life when she was feeding the pigs. The filial one in my family may not promise anything this time."

Hao said: "Isn't it good to separate families? Why don't you talk too much? Isn't four acres of paddy fields enough for them to eat? What else do you want? We have so many talents and three acres of dry land. Give them money? If this is the case, I will not agree. Is this also the way to say it?"

Wu said: "Sister-in-law, do you think it's about the fourth son's study?"

"Maybe that's true! Studying requires money, that must be the case! You said that if he can get in, I won't say anything. Look at him now, what can he do? We can pay for it." It's gone in the water." Mrs. Liu was really itchy with hatred.
