Chapter 56

It took two full days to transport the materials for building a house.

Master Zhang discussed with Qiao again and again, and transported materials while building the house, so as not to delay time.

Qiao Lian squeezed the newly renewed title deed, and happily agreed.

Next is moving.

It is said to be moving, but it is actually changing the living on the other side of the wall.

Aunt Liu's house is no smaller than the old house of the Gu family, and it was full of wing rooms in the early years, so there is no shortage of space.

Not only that, the two sons of Aunt Liu's family moved out after they got married, and now only Aunt Liu and Uncle Liu live here.

Occasionally their children and grandchildren would come back to visit, but most of the time there were only two lonely old people. It was no wonder that Aunt Liu liked the children of the Gu family so much.

Considering that Qiao Lianlian has a large family, Aunt Liu thoughtfully cleaned out the most spacious and bright east wing.

The bedding was moved by Qiao Lianlian from the old house on the spot, and the children on the bedding were obviously just taking a nap. When they woke up, the house and the bed had changed.

"Mother." Gu Ge lay on the bed, calling out crisply.

Aunt Liu walked in after Qiao Lianlian was talking to people outside without hearing the bricks and tiles, "What's wrong, Xiao Geer, are you scared? Don't be afraid, this is Grandma Liu's home."

Gu Ge blinked, revealing the growing millet teeth, "Grandma, grandma, what about mother?"

Aunt Liu liked her smile the most, and couldn't hold back a kiss on her small face, "Your mother is outside, is Xiao Ge'er scared?"

"Ge'er is not afraid, Ge'er likes grandma, grandma is the best." Gu Ge pursed his lips, and kissed Aunt Liu's cheek, which melted Aunt Liu's heart.

"Let's go, you're hungry, grandma will get you something to eat, you've been eating with grandma for the past few days." She picked up Gu Ge and walked out.

Gu Lou and Gu Zhong, who had suffered from stupid mouth and gender disadvantage, sat on the bed, staring longingly, but couldn't say anything coquettish.

Harm, who made us a man.

Gu Lou raised his head, expressing his disdain for his younger sister's coquetry and cuteness.

After about tea time, Xiao Ge'er ran back with a plate of crispy peanuts.

The plate was white and round, filled with fried and crispy peanuts, the taste was really delicious.

Gu Zhong is fine, Gu Lou's saliva is about to drop.

Want to eat.

He raised his head and looked at Aunt Liu eagerly, what kind of man, what gender, does it matter if there is something to eat.

The fat boy who had already hurt one leg sat sideways on the edge of the bed, raised his head to Aunt Liu, showed a sweet smile, and shouted in a tired voice, "Grandma, grandma, I want to eat too, grandma is the best!" gone."

Under Qiao Lian's errand, Gu Que, who came to see if his younger siblings were awake, immediately covered his face with his hands when he saw this scene.

Oh, this younger brother is about to embarrass her for the rest of her life.

The person concerned didn't realize it, and continued to act cute while blinking his eyes.

Aunt Liu suppressed her smile, and patted his little face as if praising him, "Good boy, grandma will get it for you right away."

Gu Lou suddenly smiled naively, and the corners of his cracked mouth seemed to overflow with transparent halazi.

Gu Que rolled his eyes at Tian, ​​and immediately took Gu Zhong away.

Don't pollute her well-behaved brother.

"Sister, I can go." Gu Zhong protested against being held by his sister at such an age.

Gu Que put him down, and the siblings held hands and went outside the yard.

Qiao Lianlian was checking the quantity of bricks with Master Zhang, while Gu Shao was clearing the empty space to put bluestone slabs.

Great meeting, Qiao Lianlian finally finished talking, and settled the money for the bricks with Master Zhang first.

The bluestone slab will arrive in two days. Fortunately, it is used for building the yard, and it is not needed now just for laying the foundation.

"Everyone is here now, madam, shall we start?" Master Li was moving his muscles, his eyes were full of excitement.

The weather is getting colder, and there are fewer people building houses now, and they have not started work for some time.

It's rare to take a big order these days, so I have to work hard.

"Start." Qiao nodded again and again.

Seeing this, Gu Shao stopped, hung up the firecrackers he bought, took out the firecracker, and carefully ignited the fire.

After the flash of sparks, there is the sound of crackling firecrackers.

Qiao Lian stepped forward and hugged the eldest daughter and youngest son into her arms, lest they might be frightened.

Even though she didn't like the sound herself.

Suddenly, a strong arm also encircled her, and her callused hands covered her ears. The piercing sound became much weaker, and the shock in her heart also eased a lot.

After the sound of firecrackers stopped, the hands moved away silently.

Qiao Lianlian knew who it was without looking back, because she was the one who washed out the acacia scent.

"Okay, let's get to work."

Master Li and Master Zhang shouted loudly, and a group of strong men in thin shirts and trousers, and head scarves began to work busy.

The first thing to do is to knock down the fence of the old house, which is as simple as sending a bright young man to pull it out.

The next step was to push down the earthen wall of the kitchen.

Qiao Lianlian looked at this scene with some regret.

Although the kitchen was emptied and a new stove was built, there are too many memories of my mother in that kitchen.

The first time I made mutton, the first time I made fresh noodles, and the first time I cooked noodle soup.

It was the first time for the children to eat meat and they had diarrhea. It was the first time for Xiao Que'er to help light the fire, and it was the first time for the children to make wontons.

Now that the kitchen is down, those days are just memories.

Qiao Lianlian let out a long sigh.

Although Gu Shao didn't know what she was sighing, he could vaguely feel her melancholy.

He stretched out his hand and patted her lightly on the shoulder as a comfort.

Qiao turned around again and again, gave him a faint smile, and went to prepare lunch.

Gu Shao stayed where he was.

He felt that there might be something wrong with him. He was used to being ignored before, and he was also used to Qiao Lianlian's indifference. Why did she suddenly give him a smile, but he was not used to it.

The young man in his early twenties lightly stroked his left chest, felt his beating heart, and shook his head in confusion.

"Third brother, come to help."

Aunt Liu's voice came from behind, breaking through this strange feeling, Gu Shao responded, turned and left.

As the saying goes, ask the workers to take care of the meals.

Generally, when people are invited to work, lunch must be taken care of.

Qiao Lianlian couldn't cook so much food by herself, so she asked Aunt Liu to help her find a few people who would pay her a few pennies a day to wash the vegetables and cook.

Aunt Liu agreed, and found a few women with good relationships in the village, and they have all arrived now.

Qiao Lian made arrangements for them.

Aunt Liu and Aunt Zhao helped wash the vegetables and dishes, and a young daughter-in-law, Sister-in-law Ding, helped cook the vegetables. Each person paid ten Wen per day.

It's not a small salary for a meal, so everyone is very happy, working there happily.

"Little Qiao, what are we going to do for lunch, just make cabbage stewed vermicelli?" Sister-in-law Ding asked while cleaning the pot.

What Aunt Liu and Aunt Zhao are washing now are a few juicy Chinese cabbages.

"Eat stewed vermicelli with pork and cabbage." Qiao laughed again and again.

Mrs. Ding nodded and said nothing.

Ordinary people cook big pot dishes mostly with stewed vegetables. It would be good to put some lard or minced pork if you are willing to do so. Sister-in-law Ding also thought that Qiao Lianlian put minced meat.

When she saw Gu Shao carrying a pork leg that was at least two or three catties, she was stunned, "This... is this the meat from the past ten days?"
