The safety and comfort of traveling through farming

Chapter 27

In a blink of an eye, it was an auspicious day for moving. On this day, the second bedroom of the Fu family and the men of the He family gathered at the door of Lin Shugen's house.

Fu Shi knocked on the door, and it was Lin Xia who opened the door. When the girl saw Fu Shi, and then saw the mighty strong labor force behind him, she thought it was Fu Shi who brought someone to avenge He Tao, and she was almost frightened. Cry straight out.

"You, what do you want to do?"

Fu Shi said angrily: "Move the furniture!"

"Oh, oh, come in, come in!" Lin Xia stammered and opened the door, then ran to her room and couldn't come out.She was scared to death, she almost heard the word "moving furniture" just now as "moving guys".A Tao's man is so scary!It is worthy of being a fierce star who has been on the battlefield!
"Why haven't you colored it yet!"

Fu Quan and others were dumbfounded when they saw the furniture in the tool room. This is not yet finished, so why move it?
"It's specially made." Fu Shi held up a table of Eight Immortals steadily: "Don't worry about the paint falling off, it will save trouble."

Fu Quan was a little dumbfounded, even if the paint fell off, there was no need to repaint it, what kind of trouble would it save?It's the furniture carpenter who saves the trouble, right?

Lin Shugen also said next to him: "At first I thought I heard it wrong. It's not the table and bench I made casually. How can they be all plain! I also told him specifically that the price I offered included the above Painted money."

"My wife likes it, but I can't help it." Fu Shi chuckled.

Everyone laughed and laughed at him, saying that he is a strict wife.Even He Fuguo said a few words to him, telling him not to rely on He Tao for everything.

And the He Tao they were talking about was lying on the bed and "enjoying" the belated affection.

Xiao Chen wiped her tears with one hand, and held her hand with the other. From He Tao's birth, all kinds of trivial matters, some of which even the original owner had no memory of, went straight to the present.Talking about how worried and reluctant she was, how she begged gods and worshiped Buddha, and was even willing to exchange her own life for He Tao's safety, she simply described herself as the most loving mother in heaven and earth.

"You have finally come to the end of your hardships, and the good days are yet to come." Xiao Chen finally concluded with this sentence.

The corner of He Tao's mouth twitched, and he said insincerely, "I'll let your mother worry about it."

"How can there be a parent who doesn't worry about their children!" Xiao Chen said in a familiar tone: "The child is the debt of the previous life, and you will know it when you become a mother!"

debt? !How much money did you owe in your previous life? !A smooth four children!He Tao was roaring in his heart, "It's a debt if you don't raise it or teach it, it's the debt you owe to your children in this life!"
Xiao Chen is not a good mother, He Tao has always felt so.

There is such a thing in the memory of the original owner.She was washing clothes by the river, and Xiao Chen ran over and hugged her and cried, saying: "I also know that I am disgusting and shouldn't be alive, but how can I be willing to let you four go? If I die, what will you do?" ?”

The original owner was so frightened that she hurriedly asked her what happened, and Xiao Chen told her sobbingly. When she passed someone's house, she heard the people inside say, "I'm crying all day long, bad luck, why don't I just die?" The man was scolding her.Even the weak and filial child of the original owner was speechless, and said to her: "Mother, you think too much."

Now Xiao Chen cried even harder, even her own daughter disliked her, and she didn't say a word to the original owner for half a month.

The expression of Xiao Chen's love for her children is to tell them crying: "If you were not here, I would have died a long time ago."

He Tao really can't like such a little Chen family. She thinks that the big Zhou family is more worthy of her liking than the little Chen family-of course she doesn't like the big Zhou family very much, but this can also show how much she is. I can't wait to see Mrs. Chen!

After talking for a while, Xiao Chen got up and said that he was going to cook for Walnut, and He Tao was relieved.She has reached the limit of her patience, and if she chats for a while, she will probably start cursing directly, making Xiao Chen disappear round and round before her eyes!

The new house is already busy, and all the furniture has been moved to the small courtyard. Fu Shi is holding the layout diagram drawn by He Tao and directing the people to put all the objects in the correct position.

Lin Xia helped Mrs. Cheng to the gate of the new house.Because Lin Shugen took care of all the furniture in the new house, their family naturally appeared on He Tao's invitation list. Lin Shugen first followed the big team to help install the furniture, and Lin Shugen's wife also came to help in the kitchen in advance, and Lin Xia waited alone. The old lady who was alone came together.

Mrs. Cheng came to visit when the construction started. The house was repaired when Lin Xia came, but He Tao was "unknown" at that time, and she didn't have time to stop and take a look, so the old and the young So he looked carefully at the new house of the Fu family.

The Fu family's house covers an area of ​​[-] mu. It is long and leans against the Daqing Mountain. The surrounding walls are made of stones, which are straight and thick. The houses are built in the corner of the courtyard near the village road. There is a small square in the corner of the large rectangle.

At the front of the yard are two large and one small and a half rooms. The two rooms on the left and right are square houses with a width of two feet, and in the middle is a small house with a width of one foot.

Out of the hut is a gravel road as wide as the gate, leading to the big backyard.On the left side of the gravel road is a rammed square open space, about half an mu, where the well, laundry table, and laundry pool are located, and this is the front yard.

On the right side of the gravel road is a stone wall, and the small courtyard behind the stone wall is the real residence of the Great Badlands.The small courtyard faces south. The main house has three large rooms, all of which are two and a half feet wide. The east room is the warm pavilion, the middle room is the hall, and the west room is the bedroom.The two rooms in the east wing are two feet wide, and they are the kitchen and the utility room. The room on the west side is about the same size as the east wing, except for one more room.

In fact, what Zhang Dahua said before was right, this house is indeed lacking arms and short legs, and the left and right are asymmetrical.

"This yard is really strange, one side is long and the other is short!" Lin Xia said, "However, it looks really strong!"

In the kitchen, Second Aunt Fu Wu is leading her three daughters-in-law, and there are a few helper daughters-in-law who are busy preparing the housewarming wine at noon. Naturally, they want to say hello to the host when they arrive here.

"Fu Quan's family, are you here to help again today? Why didn't you see Miss Tao?" Mrs. Cheng went into the kitchen and looked around, but she didn't see the hostess He Tao.

Mrs. Wu kept working, and replied with a smile: "Brother Shi is taking care of his daughter-in-law. He is afraid that she will get pregnant, so he won't let her get out of bed. Now she is lying in the old house!"

"He really loves his wife!" Mrs. Cheng has never seen someone who loves her daughter-in-law so much than Fu Shi. Thinking of Fu Shi's silly look when He Tao diagnosed the happy pulse, Mrs. Cheng couldn't help laughing.However, considering that the sons in the village who were about the same age as Fu Shi were all five or six years old and ran all over the mountains and plains, he couldn't wait to have good news, and naturally he couldn't be too precious.If Fu Quan hadn't forced him to marry and have children, he might still be living alone in the hut!

Mrs. Cheng said with a smile: "Shiwazi is really thanks to your family for being able to be here today!"

"Thank you so much, his nephew is no different from his own son! Besides, we are just helping out with errands, and it's Brother Shi who is fighting for his own strength. Otherwise, where did this family fortune come from!"

"Shiwazi is really up to snuff!" Mrs. Cheng simply moved a stool, pulled Lin Xia to sit down with her, and helped choose vegetables, "Look at how grand this house is! Even the kitchen is so neatly built, hey, Why are there two stoves here?"

The kitchen door was open in the middle, and a large window was opened on the wall opposite the door. The floor was covered with green bricks, which was flat and smooth. Even if there were seven or eight people working inside, it would not look crowded.The only incongruity in the house is that there is a stove on the left and right sides, the one on the left is double-eyed, and the one on the right next to the main house is single-eyed.

"Fu Shi said it was for heating, burning the kang or something..." Mrs. Wu herself didn't quite understand it, so naturally she couldn't explain why.

"What is Kang?" Lin Xia asked, tilting her head.

Mrs. Wu replied while chopping the chicken: "I didn't understand it either, it's just a table. It's said to be something in the north, you can go to the east room to see it."

Lin Xia became curious after hearing this, and ran out to see the strangeness after throwing away the vegetable pole.

After leaving the kitchen, we came to the main room. A wall was built horizontally in the middle of the main room to divide it into two parts.There is a long case and an ancestor shrine directly opposite the entrance of the main room, and a square table and bench in the middle, which is no different from ordinary people's houses.

The east room is divided into two halves by a sliding door.In the outer half of the room leaning against the wall, there is a low square coffee table. On both sides of the coffee table are "reduced Arhat beds". The other half of the room is built with kangs. Everything is available, just like a small house.

Lin Xia saw the so-called Kang at a glance, and found it very strange, but unfortunately no one could explain it clearly to her.After watching the East Room, Lin Xia continued to look at other rooms. Anyway, she is not good at kitchen work, so she might as well go shopping by herself if she stays there to add to the chaos!

The west room is as big as the east room. There is a large window in the wall on the right side of the entrance, and there is a door beside the window leading to the back of the house.Three sets of floor-to-ceiling wardrobes are neatly arranged on the left side of the door, and the newly assembled canopy bed is placed vertically opposite the door. Low cabinet.

The first of the three wing rooms is a bathroom, the floor is paved with bluestone slabs, there is a narrow stone platform against the wall, and a large bathtub is placed beside it, and it is built against the wall of the second wing room. kitchen.

"Is this for the convenience of taking a bath? Just boil the water here?" Lin Xia felt very strange.

The second wing room only has the so-called kang, without any other furniture. Looking at the third room, there is a bed and a chair each.

After seeing the whole house, Lin Xia was full of questions. After hesitating for a while, she rushed to find He Tao for answers.She was worried that He Tao would show her face, but who knew that He Tao entertained her very warmly.She was so happy in her heart, she thought to herself, A Tao really forgave me, right?
In fact, He Tao was just tired of being alone with Mrs. Chen, no matter who came, even Mrs. Zhou, she would be happy.

As soon as Lin Xia sat down, he asked about the new house, and He Tao answered them patiently.

"That stove is not for bathing, it's for heating the Kang like the one-burner stove in the kitchen... There is a thatched hut, right behind the hut, and there are doors for the east and west huts."

At noon, six tables were set up in the new house. The Fu and He families, and the villagers who had come to help build the house, as long as Fu Shi invited them, they all came to join in the fun. The only regret was that the grand uncle who had promised to come temporarily I went out on business and sent He Tao's uncle's family next door to join me.

"This house is well repaired! It's spacious enough!"

"Brother Shi's food is real!"

"When will your daughter-in-law be born? Remember to tell me when the time comes, and I'll beg for two red eggs too!"

Fu Shi was toasted at the table accompanied by Fu Quan, everyone was familiar with each other, you chatted with each other, drinking one glass after another, it was very lively!

After eating and drinking, Zhang Dahua began to talk sarcasticly: "I'm so happy, I don't know when it will be gone!"

"What are you talking about!" He Youdong kicked her under the table: "You can't even stop your mouth with food!"

"I was wrong!" Zhang Dahua rolled his eyes, and said in a strange way: "You still defend her, you treat her as a sister, but they don't treat you as a brother! He Tao wanted to let the younger brother learn to hunt, Why didn't I say call you? I didn't take you seriously at all! You see, they are so affectionate, what's the matter with you!"

He Youdong turned his head to see that He Fuguo was standing with Fu Shi, patting his shoulder, and He Youliang and He Lian were standing beside him and talking in agreement.

In the past six months, He Tao has successively made clothes and shoes for He Fuguo and the three of them, as well as delivered food and drinks. Neither he nor the rest of the He family, including Xiao Chen, have ever done this.No need to think about why, when they gave up on He Tao, only the three of He Fuguo were still on her side, and He Tao had long since stopped treating the He family other than the three of them as relatives!
If he doesn't kiss his sister, no matter how good she is, he can't take advantage of it. He Youdong sighed, and didn't care what Zhang Dahua said anymore, and drank alone.

Zhang Dahua kept chattering: "...Think about the second brother's room next to him who took advantage of 20 taels, and got a beautiful daughter-in-law...."

The excitement continued until the evening, when a group of people returned home after drinking and eating.Fu Shicai returned to the hut drunkenly, and when he entered the house, he hugged He Tao by the waist: "Daughter-in-law, let's go, let's live in a new house!"

He Tao quickly moved from one bed to another, and Fu Shi lay next to her, muttering who he talked to, what he said, how much wine he drank, and finally said with a grin: "Daughter-in-law , I am so happy today!"

It's a pity that He Tao didn't feel the same way. She was under the care of Mrs. Chen all day long, so depressed that she wanted to hit someone!

"Daughter-in-law, you are so kind!" Satisfied, Fu Shi hugged He Tao and rubbed her face.

"Shut up and go to sleep!" He Tao growled impatiently and went on silently aggrieved.
