Chapter 27

At dawn the next day, Qibao and his brothers got up and started training. Although they were going to school today, they didn't want to just be weak scholars. As long as they worked harder, they could both improve at the same time.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law made breakfast early, thinking not to delay the children's time to go to school.

After breakfast, several children also changed into new clothes and got on the oxcart with the schoolbags sewn by their mother diagonally across their shoulders. Xiaowu said, "Sister, I'm going to school, don't think about it." Fifth brother, fifth brother will be back after school, and Xiaoliu, you have to listen to grandma and aunt." After saying this, he looked reluctant to leave.

Qibao felt very funny after hearing Xiao Wu's words. She knew that what her fifth brother wanted to learn most was martial arts, so she said, "Fifth brother, don't act like you won't be back in ten days and a half. Sixth brother and I will meet You can rest assured that you are waiting for your brothers to finish school at home!" After that, he said goodbye to his brothers one by one.Uncle Xu said hello to the rest of the family and drove the bullock cart towards the town.

When the bullock cart drove away, Xiaoliu said in despair, "Sister, eldest brother and the others will have to go to school every day from now on. We are the only two children left at home."

Qibao knew that Brother Liu was used to staying with his brothers every day, and he would definitely feel uncomfortable once they were separated, so he comforted him and said, "Brother Liu, my brothers will be back in the afternoon. If you feel bored, my sister will teach you how to read at home." , okay?" Xiaoliu agreed after knowing that his sister had learned how to read with the old fairy master.

After a while, the village chief and his son brought the workers to the door of Lao Xu's house. The Xu family immediately greeted, "Village chief, you are here, come and sit in the house!"

The village chief quickly refused and said, "No, your house can't accommodate so many people. Just sit in the yard! Brother, the people we have recruited have already arrived. I wonder if I have anything to explain?"

Mr. Xu said, "We are all from the same village and have the same ancestors. There is nothing important to say, so Chunsheng will lead the team. He has experience in building houses, so let him arrange workers for everyone." After that, he said to He greeted the villagers he had invited and said politely, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone. If you can come and help my old Xu family build a house, you are showing respect to my old Xu family. If you encounter any difficulties in the future and come to my house, I will never refuse if I can help!"

After listening to Mr. Xu's words, the men felt heartwarming and sighed in their hearts at the honesty of Mr. Xu's family. Xu Daniu in the crowd said loudly, "Uncle Dashan, whatever you say, everyone in the village will be able to help anyone build a house." Please lend a hand, and the wages your family pays are so high, and you can find money-making jobs at your doorstep. We are grateful to your family from the bottom of our hearts. Is there anything else we are dissatisfied with? Do you think what I said is right?" The crowd also agreed. , all echoed loudly.

"Okay, since you all trust me, Mr. Xu, let Chunsheng be assigned to help you. He has enough experience, and he will do the hard work for us next." Mr. Xu said.

Xu Chunsheng then said, "Since uncle believes in me so much, I can't let you down. Big guy, pick up the guy and start working now!" As he said that, he led everyone towards the open space where the house was built.

The first step in building a house is to survey and map the boundary points of the house before ground can be broken. After roughly marking the locations of the four walls, Xu Chunsheng asked Mr. Xu to dig the first handful of soil before starting construction, and then waved for everyone to start digging the foundation.

"Uncle, the foundation can be dug in two days. I wonder when the materials for building the house will arrive?" Xu Chunsheng asked.

Mr. Xu said, "Chunsheng, if you don't ask me, I have to ask you. You used to build a house and you should know where to buy bricks and wood, right?"

Xu Chunsheng replied, "Uncle, I really know that there is a brick kiln factory in the north of the town that specializes in firing green bricks. The price is quite reasonable and the quality is good."

Mr. Xu said, "Okay, when my boss comes back from town, I'll ask him to drive the bullock cart and go ask questions with you."

"Sure, no problem. Your house is really not small, but it requires a lot of bricks. If they are shipped all at once, there won't be enough room to put them." Xu Chunsheng said.After hearing this, Mr. Xu thought for a while and said, "Then let the boss not send them all, but send some every day, as long as they are enough for the day!"

After hearing this, Xu Chunsheng said, "This is a good idea. Let's do it. When Brother Xu comes back, I will go with him!" After that, he turned around and went back to dig up the soil with the workers.

Everyone in the Xu family also returned to their house. Mr. Xu said, "Old lady, prepare more food for lunch. There must be enough oil and water. Don't leave everyone without enough food to help our family work. Later, we will boil some tea and dry it for the old man." Second, send it to the construction site.”

Mrs. Zhang said, "Dad, boiling water is of no use to me. I'll just go and do it." After that, she turned and went to the kitchen.

When Mrs. Li saw that her sister-in-law had something to do, she said, "Mom, my three siblings and I went to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetables and prepare them. There are many people eating at noon, so we should prepare them early, otherwise we will be too busy later!" Lin and I went to the backyard to pick vegetables with a bamboo basket.

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Old man, look at how filial the three daughters-in-law are. They are all rushing to do the work just because they are afraid of tiring me, an old woman!" There was a look of satisfaction on her face.

"Okay, look at your happy look, but these three wives are really good, we will not treat them badly in the future." The old man also agreed with a happy face, and after speaking, he turned around and went to the construction site uneasily, but Nothing can go wrong.When Mrs. Wang saw the old man running out in a hurry, she laughed and cursed and went to the kitchen.

Qibao took the writing brush and took Brother Six to sit in front of the wooden table in the yard and said, "Brother Six, I will teach you how to read now, and I will teach you how to write your name first." He held the writing brush and wrote "Xu Mingxuan" one stroke at a time. word.Then he pointed at a word and taught Brother Six how to read it.

Qibao saw that Brother Six had memorized it after reading it a few times after him, and then grabbed Xiao Liu's hand and taught him to write his name.

When Xu Laosan saw his daughter teaching his youngest son to write, he sat over curiously and watched the two brothers and sisters write. He also wetted his fingers and wrote on the table. Qibao saw that his father was also learning. Anyway, teaching one is teaching, and teaching two They both also taught, so they started teaching together.

Mrs. Lin came back from picking vegetables with her second sister-in-law. When she saw her husband learning to write from her daughter, she joked, "How old are you? You are still learning to read with your children. You are not afraid of people laughing at you."

When Qibao heard what his mother said, his father said, "Mom, you can't say that. As the saying goes, live and learn. It's a good thing that your father is motivated. You can't say that about your father."

When Ms. Lin saw her daughter defending her husband so much, she said in a sour tone, "Okay, okay, I won't talk about your father. You and your daughter have a good relationship. I, the mother, are the exception, right?" She pretended to reach out and wipe her. Wiped the corners of his eyes...

Seeing that his mother was sad, Qibao got up and ran to Mrs. Lin, hugged her thigh and said, "Mom, Qibao also likes mom, and mom loves Qibao the most. Mom, don't cry!"

When Mrs. Lin saw that she had made her daughter anxious, she immediately laughed and said, "Mom teased you. Mom didn't cry. It's just that you and your father have such a good relationship and she felt a little sour. That's why she said that." She also secretly laughed at her own child. My xinxing, my daughter and her husband have a good relationship, I should be happy!
When Xu Laosan saw his daughter defending him, he stepped forward and hugged Qibao and said proudly, "My daughter is a good girl. Look how considerate she is!" After saying that, he kissed Qibao on the face... Xiaoliu next to him saw his father. My sister hurriedly ran forward, raised her face and said, "Dad, I want to kiss you too!"

Xu Laosan smiled and said, "You stink like a kid, you can't smell as good as your sister!" Although he said this, he bent down and picked up Xiaoliu, and kissed him on the face...
