Farmhouse Small God Bowl

Chapter 103
"Auntie, you are so serious, Brother Xiaokai, you are going to learn carpentry soon. When you finish your studies and open a small shop, I will take you to the town and become a townsman." Zhou Xiaobai said started this matter.

After hearing what Zhou Xiaobai said, Aunt Yan calmed down a bit, "Hey, I don't expect this day anymore, and I'm not comfortable in the town, so I'm not as comfortable in the village."

"That's that, that's not as good as your own kennel." Zhou Xiaobai also nodded. Although his house is still leaking everywhere, Zhou Xiaobai still thinks it's the best.

Speaking of Yan Xiao's starting school, Zhou Xiaobai asked again, "Brother Xiao Kai, how did you go to the town to ask yesterday?"

Yan Xiaokai nodded, "I went to Master Liu who opened a shop in the east of the town yesterday, and it's already been agreed, I'll go there after I'm done with spring plowing next year."

Carpenter Liu in the town is well known for his craftsmanship, and if Yan Xiaokai can learn his craftsmanship, he will not have to worry about it in the future. This is why Aunt Yan looks better now.Aunt Yan slapped her thigh, it was a matter of spying on Zhou Xiaobai, why did it turn to Yan Xiaokai again. "Xiaobai, when the new year starts, do you have any plans?"

Zhou Xiaobai hadn't really thought about the plan for the new year, but now she heard Aunt Yan's question, she just tilted her head to think about it, and then spoke for a while.Although Yan Xiaokai pretended not to care and kept shaking the millstone in his hands, his ears were pricked up, wanting to hear what Zhou Xiaobai was talking about.

"I started the new year, and I still want to continue to raise fish. I can't lose this money-making job. But I still want to buy a few more acres of land. After all, one acre is not enough for my family. It's okay to rent some more." Zhou Xiaobai's only thought was to make a fortune, so when he talked about plans, he naturally had this in mind.

Tsk tsk, this girl is so thoughtful, she even thought about buying the land.Aunt Yan really has nothing to do with her, this girl, "Girl, why do you see that you are only thinking about making money in your mind?"

Zhou Xiaobai sighed, "That's right, my mind is full of money now, Chen Mo will go to school soon, and the family's expenses will be higher. Waiting for the spring, my family will plan to build a house again. If you want to spend money, I don’t count on it, so what should I do?”

What.Zhou Xiaobai's house is going to be renovated soon?This is the first time Aunt Yan heard about it, and she immediately forgot what she just asked, and leaned over to ask in detail, "Xiaobai, are you serious, building a house in spring?"

Building a house is a big event in the village. After all, it is a matter of living for a lifetime. It is basically once in a lifetime like getting married and marrying a wife.Although things are cheap in the countryside, it is not easy to build such a few houses.

Zhou Xiaobai really couldn't bear the drafty house, so he nodded firmly, "Yes, I will build a house next year when the weather gets better, and I will appoint you to help me when the time comes. "

She clapped Zhou Xiaobai's hand, "You girl, you are really talking nonsense. As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Our two families have lived together for many years, and you still say this polite thing. If you have anything at that time, you will Directly order. But, Xiaobai, building a house is not an easy task, have you done it?"

Zhou Xiaobai was puzzled, the house was built after the money was prepared, anyway, Aunt Yan was not an outsider, so she asked directly, "Ma'am, building a house is not something that can be done with money, what should I do? "

This girl really doesn't know anything, Aunt Yan has nothing to do, "Come on, it seems that you really don't know anything, anyway, you will let me know when the time comes, let's talk about it when the time comes."

Zhou Xiaobai really didn't know, and his grandfather didn't tell him. Hearing what Aunt Yan said, it seemed quite troublesome, so he stepped forward and hugged Aunt Yan, "Mother, you are really my mother, if it weren't for you , I still don’t know what to do.”

Seeing Zhou Xiaobai, who was tired and crooked with her, Aunt Yan was really happy. This girl really knows how to be close to people, and she thought that if Xiaobai really became her daughter-in-law, it would be great.Thinking of this, Aunt Yan thought, why did she go wrong again? Didn't she want to help Xiaokai find out Zhou Xiaobai's mind!
She patted Zhou Xiaobai's hand, "Girl, let's put aside the matter of this house. I see that you are not young at the beginning of the new year, and you should think about your own affairs."

own business? !Haven't all my affairs been arranged? Zhou Xiaobai feels that he is very busy raising fish and farming!Looking at Aunt Yan in puzzlement.

Seeing Zhou Xiaobai's stupid look, Aunt Yan wanted to pry her little head open to see what she was thinking, so she knocked on Zhou Xiaobai's head with a drum head. (Lei Gutou is the movement of curling up the index finger and hitting someone's forehead.) "You really don't know how to worry about it, I'm asking you, this is going to be a big girl soon, do you think about getting married?"

Zhou Xiaobai blushed when he asked this question, why did this happen again.Then I heard Aunt Yan say, "You don't have a woman's house in your house, so it will inevitably be a little inconvenient. Xiaobai, what are you thinking, tell me. I will give you the total sum?"

Yan Xiao opened her hands, and leaned towards them quietly.Seeing this hopeless son, Aunt Yan stared at her, "Why are you so anxious, with your old lady here, I'm afraid that Zhou Xiaobai will not be able to run away."

Seeing Zhou Xiaobai blushing, keeping her head down and not speaking, Aunt Yan thought that Zhou Xiaobai was embarrassed, so she gave Yan Xiaobai a stare and told him to stay away, and then she said to Zhou Xiaobai, "Daughter, this is our mother, If you have something in your heart, just say it, if you want someone caring, you can’t talk to your grandpa, I’ll help you, ma'am."

Speaking of this matter, Zhou Xiaobai felt depressed for a while, yes, he has a sweetheart.It's a pity that I have intentions, but people look down on me, so there is nothing I can do.Thinking of Shang Luoran, Zhou Xiaobai still blushed for a while, and his heart beat faster habitually.But when he thought about the situation that day, another basin of cold water was poured on him, and his heart was completely chilled.

In Aunt Yan's eyes, Zhou Xiaobai's swaying child-goddess love has something to offer, so she hurriedly asked again, "How is it? Talk to me, Auntie."

Don't worry, what's the matter? Zhou Xiaobai was scared, and managed to escape the urging of his aunt and grandfather to marry him. Why is Aunt Yan here again?With a bitter face, "Ma'am, I'm still young, it's still early."

Seeing Zhou Xiaobai's head down and blushing mock-up, Aunt Yan thought she was embarrassed to mention this matter, "Xiaobai, don't be embarrassed, the male college should be married and the female college should be married, what are you afraid of? It’s not too young. Tell my aunt about it.”

"Ma'am, I really haven't thought about this right now. Now that Chen Mo is going to study at home, I'm the only one. I can't worry about things at home, so I don't have time to think about it!" Zhou Xiaobai tried every means to get rid of Aunt Yan's thoughts. , she thought Aunt Yan was planning to be a matchmaker for herself.

"You silly boy, what's the matter with this?" Aunt Yan still didn't give up, she was about to say something, Zhou Xiaobai hurriedly stopped her, "Don't worry, Auntie, my aunt is worried about this matter, You already told me about a marriage last time, but I didn’t get married, so let’s forget it.”

What, the aunt of the Zhou family even talked to Zhou Xiaobai about their marriage!These words stunned Aunt Yan and Yan Xiaokai, but it was fine if they didn't match each other.Aunt Yan didn't think much about it, but her own family members were worried about her. No matter how close she was, she was still an outsider, so she couldn't say much.

But Yan Xiaokai was thinking far away. He heard Chen Mo mention this matter before, and he even went to ask Zhou Xiaobai himself, but he didn't expect it to be a marriage proposal.How about the conditions of that family, and he is still a scholar, if that's the case, Zhou Xiaobai hasn't agreed yet, because he just doesn't know what to do with himself.

Zhou Xiaobai didn't move his mind to this at all, and thought that Aunt Yan was simply concerned about her own marriage. Is it not good for him to refuse so much, so he hurriedly said to Aunt Yan, "Auntie, this matter, I will I have my own ideas. But I’m still young, so don’t worry.”

Knowing that Zhou Xiaobai had big ideas, Aunt Yan couldn't say anything more, it's a pity for her dull son.He said that he wanted to go to Zhou's house to propose marriage earlier and make a decision earlier.He is thin-skinned and still unwilling. Now that he has done this, he may regret it in his heart.

It's winter, Zhou Xiaobai looked at Yan Xiaokai, but he was sweating profusely, and thought he was tired, "Brother Xiaokai, I will help you as a replacement, you wipe off the sweat."

Who would have thought that Yan Xiaokai's sweating profusely was caused by getting angry just now.Asking Zhou Xiaobai to do this tiring job for him, Yan Xiaokai would not be willing to do it, naturally he would not.But Zhou Xiaobai is not a person who can sit still, it's fun to watch Momo, so he stepped forward, grabbed the pole, and wanted to be with Yan Xiaokai.

It was the first time Zhou Xiaobai saw such a stone mill. The ones he had seen before were all pulled by a cow or a donkey in a circle, but it was still very rare to use human power.The stone mill is not very big, and there is a long curved pole attached to it, which saves a lot of effort. You just need to stand in place and shake your arms.

Following Yan Xiaokai's movements several times, Zhou Xiaobai thought it was really fun, the wisdom of the ancient people was really infinite, such a simple pole saved so much manpower.

With Zhou Xiaobai's help, the work of grinding the mill became a lot easier, but the sweat on Yan Xiaokai's forehead dripped even more.why?This is not because of Zhou Xiaobai.The two of them pushed the pole together, their bodies got close, and Zhou Xiaobai's breath was directly on Yan Xiaokai's face.No, the innocent little brother was even more at a loss.
