My live broadcast room communicates ancient and modern

If the Xu family hadn't been preparing for dinner, many people would have come to hang out.

Even Yu Jiagun from the West Courtyard came and squatted at the door not knowing what he was listening to.

Are you all asking how Lei's home is? Last year, Erdaohe sold a lot of frozen fruits. Did things get better? At least we can be poorer and more stable, right?

In addition, did you treat Mrs. Xu and Tian Xin like distinguished guests? What have you been doing there these days?

What everyone is asking about is called details, mixed with small thoughts.

Everyone is mainly worried that the villagers in Leijiawo will get less wages even if they are more capable. In such a comparison, the boss will look down on the people in this village and transfer a lot of work to others. Then they would have no work to do. That's not okay. We are our own family.

In short, the old lady was almost starving, and it was not easy to lose face. In the end, Liu Laozhu's daughter-in-law, Pepper, saw that even Youyin and the others had entered the hospital and went home, and they were still unable to say anything, so she organized everyone to say, Come on, come on, the children who went up the mountain are coming down. Go home and cook and chat later.

Guan Ertu, who was close to him, waved his hand to Xu Tianxin with a smile and took the lead to walk out of the courtyard with his hands behind his back.

Xu Tianxin couldn't let Grandpa Guan eat at home. The grandfathers and little sisters in the house had a good relationship with her, so if Grandpa Guan was to stay, she would have to stay with others. I could only wave a handful of dandelions in my hand at Grandpa Guan.

The three Xu family members washed their hands and entered the house. Their eyes fell on Xu Tianxin first, and they asked with smiles in their eyes, "How were you playing outside?"

Xu Tianxin said with a smile. She didn't have enough fun at all. Then she looked at Xu Youyin sitting next to her: "Uncle, why are you getting older? You are dark and thin."

"Hey, you kid."

Xu Youyin wondered if he could never grow old? After the manure was soaked, it was released into wasteland. The wasteland at home was called Qishuang Wasteland. During the days of the wasteland, the wasteland was burned every day and the mountains were covered with mist. Coughing all night.

After finally clearing the wasteland, we still have to go up the mountain to dig out big rocks, bulldoze the soil, and pull out sand to prepare for digging the foundation. He is pretty good, but the second and third brothers are even harder. One has to find time to make wooden stakes, and the other has to carry wood.

Let's put it this way, basically they get up to work before dawn, doing the same thing, waiting for their three brothers and the three nephews they picked up. Thanks to a few strong laborers, they have to work until it gets dark. Today I found out that my mother and niece were back, so I got off work early.

In the morning, the nurse would make a warm meal, but at noon there was no food at all. The whole family, including the second sister-in-law who was pregnant, had to carry a few dry food with her to cope with one bite, until the water-drop clock at home reached Hai hour (9 p.m. After ordering), you can drink some egg soup or fish soup and soak some sorghum rice, sometimes two rice.

It's not that she wouldn't be willing to eat good food when her mother wasn't at home. This time, the second sister-in-law didn't cook the rice without picking it up. But even the second sister-in-law, the pregnant woman and the almost seventy-year-old grandmother were very tired after the day. After dark, I was so tired that I no longer had the energy to cook.

At this time, Xu Youyin looked at his niece and then at his mother. They were both fat and worried that the old and the young would not be able to sleep well outside.

They were so worried before. The second sister-in-law dreamed that Tian Xin's car fell into a ditch. The family was so worried that they almost hitched up the car and went out to look for it.

Xu Youyin didn't need to say it was a bit hard, but Mrs. Xu and Xu Tianxin could also see it.

In particular, the house was full of wooden shelves set up on the ground to raise seedlings. The shop side was also filled with sweet potato seedlings and mushroom seedlings. The soil was plowed in the back garden and the new house next to it.

I heard that Xu Zhaozhao and Da Yue alternated carrying their children during the day to make glycerin, and then they would get up early and work late at night without forgetting to follow the work at home.

Today’s meals at home are all cooked by my grandson Big Bird, including pickled cabbage rice, cold fish skin, rabbit meat stewed with potatoes, and fried pancakes.

The rabbit was lassoed by Meizhuang two days ago with a big belly. After lassoing, he was sent to Xu's house. Now that the caravan has all left and they haven't come back this year, Meizhuang can't stay idle at home. I heard that she drags her man with her every morning. He led a group of young men from the village into the mountains with bows and arrows. If she could trap the prey and keep the skin, the meat would be given to the hard laborers in the village as a tooth sacrifice. Meizhuang was not impatient for others to thank her, so she threw it directly to her fourth uncle and seventh uncle for distribution.

Even if he couldn't find a harness, he was not empty-handed. He led a group of half-grown men to carry dry firewood and push stones down the mountain. After a period of time, the young men in the village got a little practice in their archery skills.

While the Xu family was having dinner, everyone kept reporting on some important events to Mrs. Xu.

The old lady told her daughter-in-law: "There are still a lot of seedlings at Guan Erbaluzi's house. Yingsha helps water the seedlings. Our land is too much and the seedlings can't be put in. Xiaoqin's mother-in-law also helps to raise the seedlings. Xiaoqin and she My younger brother Dali made a special trip home and asked the other side to help me."

At present, the old lady is becoming more and more satisfied with Qin Niang. First of all, she is happy and pregnant. This is the truth. Having a baby is the basis for her satisfaction with her grandson-in-law. Secondly, it is also important whether the natal family can borrow money or not. Take a look at the store she opened last year. She has a lot of energy and ability, otherwise her grandchildren would be exhausted. This time, while Xiaoqin's family was taking care of so many chickens, ducks and geese, they agreed to help raise rice seedlings, and Lao Yu's family also had to farm. This was very interesting.

After the old lady finished speaking, she looked specifically at Yu Qiniang, who had been busy making burritos for Tian Xin. Her eldest great-grandson Bao lost her biological mother, and she was very satisfied that her second grandson's daughter-in-law could treat her husband's niece sincerely.

Otherwise, she could count her years and pat her chest and say: "Xiaoqin, just clean up the back garden at home. Grandma outside will do it. You have a big belly, so don't do it."

This made her tired, and sometimes she would collapse on the ground with no end in sight, regretting what she said. She has even thought of hiring two people. She has eight taels of private money, and she can even outsource the work of the vegetable garden to others.

After all, who can grow a vegetable garden on ten acres of land? It doesn't seem to be a vegetable garden. The vegetable plot of Lao Xu's family is as big as a pig farm.

After the old lady finished her report, Xu Laoer took a bite of the pancake and ate half full, then reported to the old lady Xu:

"Mom, we have finished measuring our new house. We have several workshops, the house where we live, the furniture, the courtyard, how many kangs we need to build, the wood and stones, the walls, and the gatehouse. These are all measured. How do you estimate our house? The yard is so big that even if hundreds of people are hired to work together, it will take more than four months until autumn. In a few days, we will hire people to start digging the foundation. I want to dig all the sewers first."

Xu Laoer took two more bites of the pancake, took a spoonful of egg sauce and stirred it into the millet porridge, took two mouthfuls and continued:

"Those houses in the village that receive businessmen from each other all said that it's cold now, and if the hired workers who built our house have no place to live, and the kangs are empty, they can go live with them. I thought about it in the village. It’s better to live closer than living in our shop. As for the big kang in our shop, we will give it to the villagers who work there. Anyway, the weather will be cold in the early days and it will be difficult to live in it. When June comes, it will not be suitable. You can even sleep in the open air in the shed.”

Xu Youcang reminded his second brother: "Don't forget about the brick kiln."

"Ah, yes, mother, the owner of the brick kiln sent his chief shopkeeper to come to our house to take measurements in person. He also told us that a thousand bricks of green bricks can be delivered in one cart. We need to order in advance so as not to delay our work. But there is no price. He said that we had to wait for you to come back to discuss the matter, which made me feel unsure. When I asked the other party, he said, "Don't worry, the price is between your mother and I. It's cheaper to specify it than to sell it to someone else. You don't have to." Take care of it.”

Even if you don't care, you still have to buy it for tens of thousands of dollars, and it still costs a hundred and eighty taels of silver.

Mrs. Xu said she understood and signaled to her son and grandchildren not to talk in a hurry and to eat quickly.

But there were too many things to report. Xu Laoer asked Xu Tianxin what a sunroom was and if he could draw a picture. I have never seen my second uncle before.

Third uncle Xu Youcang asked his eldest niece if the talcum powder your uncle Dali gave to the house to plaster the walls?

Xu Tianxin said: "It's almost the same, but my uncle Dali's place is too difficult to harvest. In a few days, third uncle, please go to Xishan Town. I've seen it in my boss's kiln. When they make pottery, they mix talcum powder into it. The pottery became smooth and not rough. I heard that Mr. Yu didn’t spend money to buy it. He knew the location and could bring a large number of them directly to his home.”

Xu Youcang responded: "Okay."

Xu Youyin hesitated for a moment, then glanced at his niece and whispered to Mrs. Xu, "Mom, the folks have different opinions on Tian Xin'er's request to build the school."

"Why, you don't agree? You can't. We are using our own land and not using theirs. Their children can learn for free. Where can we pick up such cheap and good things? It's time to go out to pick up money. It's our farm. Xin'er, hey, I'm still young, but I still care about benefiting the people. Tsk tsk, I just think of it as accumulating blessings for my family, so I agree. How dare they have other ideas? "

"No, mother, you misunderstood. It's just the opposite. Didn't Uncle Li Zheng tell you? The villagers decided not to let our family hire people to build two schools. They said that everyone would build the adobe building themselves brick by brick. Get up, we can’t let our family build a homestead and hire people to build a house. It’s just that these schools are best used for dual purposes. After studying during the day, they need to be used as a meeting place for the village at night. If they borrow them, every family in the village At that time, we will take turns to help with the sweeping, and in autumn we will provide firewood."

"Ah, okay, then what are you doing all this?"

"It's the name of the school. We're cutting trees right now. Let's get a plaque first. I said it should be called Tian Xin School. I said my niece disagreed. I had already said not to name it after her. Let's call it Xu's School. In our village with mixed surnames, there are other people with the surname Xu, and then the Fourth Uncle and the Seventh Uncle said it was called Arita Academy."

According to the words of the Fourth Uncle, Tian Xin of the Arita family went to a local school and was born as a daughter or a baby. In the future, she would marry outsiders and it would be under his name. The name Youtian not only meant to miss Tian Xin, but also to be related to Tian Xin.

Xu Youyin guessed that the three brothers would be involved if they couldn't help it. After all, the word "you" also included the three of them.

Xu Tianxin heard this, and why was she always afraid that she would suddenly go crazy and get sick after hearing her father's name? This made her uncle cautious when mentioning her father's name: "It's very good, let's call him this. Didn't you say that my father had always wanted to be a scholar?" . The school uses his name, hoping to produce a few more talents. When the time comes, let those who pass the exam return to their alma mater and give us a gold plaque."

Xu Laoer held it in for a long time before he finally said: "I haven't been thinking about it all the time, for half a year..." In the half year before he left home and was forced to be drafted into the army, he thought about taking the exam to become a scholar. His elder brother exaggerated some things.

Wouldn't this make it look more powerful?
