Chapter 35
Xi'er and the people from Lao Ma's family moved things, Mrs. Luo boiled water, Ji Kang couldn't do anything, and his family wouldn't let him do anything, so he could only sit on a chair and bask in the sun.

Xi'er arranged everything, put the Eight Immortals table brought from home in the yard in front of the house, placed a few chairs around the table, helped Ji Kang to sit in front of the table, and then took the table from the back room. Take out a tea set and put it on the table.

He went to get another bag of tea leaves, squeezed a pinch and put it in the teapot. At this time, Mrs. Luo had already boiled the water.

"Uncle Ma, eldest brother of the Ma family, second brother, third brother, come, sit down and have a sip of tea, eat pancakes so dry, no matter how anxious you are to make money, you have to drink saliva, you must know that money can never be earned."

"Haha, don't worry, your house is really nice, we have to take a good look at it"

"It's just right for our family of three to live here. If you want to buy it, you have to buy a three-in-one house, otherwise you won't be able to live in it."

Xi'er made tea and poured a cup for each of them.

"I can't afford Sanjin, so I'll follow your example and buy a house like this for their elder brother San's family. How much does your house cost?"

"300 taels"

"Hey, don't I have to prepare 900 taels?"

"You often go to the dental store to ask, if you have a suitable one, buy it first, don't buy three seats at once, if you are short of money, just hum, I still have some here"

"That's so embarrassing"

"Hey, Uncle Ma's son is being polite to me again now, it's not the time when he didn't ask me for money yesterday."

"Haha, you girl, uncle can't beat you"

After the Ma family drank a few glasses of water, they asked Xi'er to pack pickles for them. They were very hardworking and couldn't bear to rest for a while.

This time, a total of eight cans of pickles were loaded, and each of the four cars carried a can of radishes and a can of melon strips, which were still at the old price, fifteen yuan a catty, and 160 catties, that is, two or four renminbi.

"Girl, I will give you money when I come to pick up the vegetables tomorrow morning"

"Good class"

"When will the house be warmed?" the old horse asked as he walked out.

"After Harvest"

"Do you want to help harvest the corn?"

"No, I hired five long-term workers from Yangliu Village, they can help me with the work"

"Yeah, I'm the boss"

"Haha, it's okay"

After seeing off Lao Ma's house, Mrs. Luo's family came back and closed the door, sitting at the Eight Immortals table drinking tea.

"I can't believe it, I will live in such a beautiful home in the future, and everything is very pleasing to the eye"

"Mother, this place is also very ordinary. If I have the opportunity to show you the house of a rich family, that would be great."

"Now this house girl likes it very much, not to mention how satisfied she is."

Mrs. Luo was so happy that she couldn't keep her mouth shut. Ji Kang secretly looked at Xi'er. For some reason, Xi'er in his eyes became more and more beautiful. The scars on his face seemed to be ignored by him. She's good.

Looking at it, his face became more and more red. In order to hide his flustered mood, he hurriedly asked.

"Sister, how is this room arranged?"

"Naturally, Mother will sleep in the upper room. The one in the middle is the living room, the right hand is the dining room, the right hand is the kitchen, the left hand is the place where Mother sleeps, and the left hand is the place where pickles and food are placed."

"What about me and you?"

"You live in the one on the left of the east wing, and I live in the one on the left of the west wing, and the other two rooms are filled with pickles and other things."

"Well, the arrangement is very good, then I'll go and tidy up my things"

"it is good"

"I'll go too" Mrs. Luo also wanted to tidy up the house.

"Well, I'm not in a hurry, I'll make it myself at night"

She calculated the time, and the workers should also arrive. They usually go to the field first, weed the grass and then check it before they come here.

As soon as she thought of this, the door rang. Mrs. Luo originally wanted to go into the house to tidy up, but when she heard the door rang, she turned around and opened it.

When she opened the door and saw five strong men, she didn't react. Seeing them staring blankly, Xi'er hurried over to introduce them.

"Mom, this is from Yangliu Village, who takes care of the ten acres of land for our family, and will come home to help me make pickles when I'm free."

"Oh, come in then"

When she heard Xi'er say this just now, she thought it was an excuse she made to refuse the Ma family's help, but she didn't expect it to be true, and her family could hire someone to do the work. She felt like she was dreaming.

They didn't bother to clean up the house, so they sat in the yard and watched five people work. They skillfully took out radishes and vegetables from the side room, washed, cut, and dried, and began to get busy.

Xi'er is cooking soy sauce in the kitchen, it seems that they have been working here for quite a while.

Mrs. Luo got up and washed all the tea bowls, and made another pot of tea. She pointed to the tea pot and told them.

"When you are thirsty, come here to drink water. After washing the tea bowls, pour them yourself."

The five strong men nodded hurriedly, "Okay, old lady,"

The corner of Old Madam Luo's mouth twitched. Not only did she move to the town and have a new home, she even changed her address, old lady?That sounds great.

Seeing that she had nothing to do, she went back to her room to clean up.

Xi'er turned her head and looked at old lady Luo with a smile, and then concentrated on doing things. When Ji Kang heard the movement outside, he lifted his head and looked out the window, feeling a little flustered in his heart.

The reason is that Xi'er is too capable, not only bought a house and land, but also hired people, he feels that he is not good enough for her now.

It's so frustrating, if you want to match Xi'er, you can only study hard, and then study, just helping her with some work is not enough.

The test of merit, even if you are a scholar, can't continue like this.

Xi'er marinated the soy sauce and put it in a big basin to cool down. With this time, she went out and bought five catties of pork and fifty white flour steamed buns. Ripe, remove and let cool.

At noon today, she wants to keep these workers for dinner. The family has officially moved here, and they will treat it as a warm house, and improve the lives of the workers by the way.

She planned to make a bowl of meat for everyone to eat. She cut the lustrous pork into even slices, put the pork skin upside down and put it on the bottom of the bowl, put cabbage on it, and then put seasoning and some water, and then Steam in a large pot.

The long-term workers who smelled the meat all swallowed their mouths. Although the boss treated them well, but the family was very poor, and no one was willing to buy meat.

"Don't go home today, eat at my house"

In a word, let their hearts fly, can they eat meat?
"what?"

"Ah, what, you have done a good job, thanks to your hard work, I will eat a bowl of meat today, and each of you will have a bowl of meat."

The workers swallowed together, and they asked cautiously, "Our house is close, can we take it home to eat?"

Xi'er was taken aback for a moment, and immediately realized that they wanted to take the meat home to share with their families, so she nodded slightly.

"Okay, one bowl of meat per person, eight white flour steamed buns, I don't know if it's enough"

"enough, enough"

Originally wanted to have a lively meal, but in the end there were only three of them left. Seeing the workers go home with steamed buns and bowls, she felt very uncomfortable.

"Mother, brother, don't clean up, let's eat"

She brought the pork bowl to the table, put the steamed buns on the table, and arranged the bowls and chopsticks.

Granny Luo and Ji Kang sat down and asked, "They're all gone? Don't you want to keep them for dinner?"

"Well, I was reluctant to eat it, so I took it home."

"The poor are like this. They have some delicious food. They all think about their families. My mother also came here at that time."

"You haven't been to Yangliu Village, it's worse than Li Village"

"Our family will have a better time in the future, please help if you can. I heard that the people in that village are very nice."

"Got it, mother"

It was the first time for Mrs. Luo and Ji Kang to eat the pork bowl. The fat and soft pork was not greasy at all. The cabbage soaked up the pork oil, and the taste was quite good.

After the meal, the three of them drank tea, leaned against the back of the chair, and looked at the new home. The three of them were in a very good mood, as if they had finally got their head off the boil.

"Girl, will our family continue to do this pickle business from now on?"

"No, I can do what I want to make money. After the corn is harvested and the public grain is paid, I will recruit a few more people to start building a greenhouse and prepare to grow vegetables."

"Huh? You still want to grow vegetables in winter?"
