Peasant girl's pot color Tianxiang

Chapter 16 Building a house (3)
"Here, you wait here for the ox cart to go back, I will walk back first." Su Bai put the basket on Uncle Yang's ox cart, and left first.

Before Li Ran had time to say anything, Su Bai had already walked away.Watching Su Bai's leaving back gradually merge into the light and shadow, I feel very beautiful.

Ahem... Li Ran suddenly felt blushing. It was a sin for an old woman in her twenties to think that a teenager was good.Li Ran clasped his hands together and said "Amitabha." But Li Ran forgot that she was only an 11-year-old girl, which was totally appropriate.

In the blink of an eye, it was dawn again.

Li Ran woke up early in the morning and began to tidy up the table. He took out all the food that he had prepared this morning. Today was the first day of work, so he made the food better.

As soon as the things were taken out, Aunt Ma came over, followed by Xiao Hua.

"Xiao Ran, you got up so early." Aunt Ma hurried over to help. "What are you doing today?"

"Aunt Ma, what I want is to steam more steamed buns, get braised pork in brown sauce, second-cooked pork, roasted chicken, a large plate of vegetarian dishes... ten dishes, and a big pot of bone soup." Li Ran was thinking. It should be enough to make big pot dishes, let's talk about not enough.

When Aunt Ma and the three of them were almost finished, Master Jia led fifteen people to arrive, and Uncle Zhu also led a few people to do the work.There are 25 people in total.

The dining table was borrowed from Uncle Zhu's house, and when the food was served, everyone quickly ate and started working.

The men all went to the nearby homestead to start digging the foundation, and the rest of the women started to pack up the lunch. Li Ran boiled some tea and took it to the construction site, and Li Heng also ran up and down to deliver messages.

……

In a few days, the foundation was dug, and then the house began to be built.

One day, Li Ran had just returned from picking fungus in the mountains, and before he got home, he heard a burst of shouting, accompanied by Li Heng's crying.Li Ran ran home step by step.

There was a quarrel.

"Hurry up, take our old Li's wages, and still be lazy." Mrs. Zhang stood aggressively beside the house, gesticulating, and the old lady Mrs. He also chattered.

Aunt Ma was very enthusiastic, "Auntie Ma, it's a hot day, you don't have a backache when you stand and talk, everyone has been working non-stop for a long time, what's wrong with sitting down and drinking herbal tea, I've been here for a few days and it doesn't hurt Seeing people being lazy, it's good for you to come here, and it doesn't cost money to talk nonsense? Why is your old Li's wages all paid by Li Ran, so what's your business?"

"I said it's none of your business, does our old Li's house have anything to do with you, an outsider?" Mrs. Zhang was aggressive.

When Zhu Day heard this, he also felt that it made sense. His mother-in-law really loved Li Ran and his brother, but after all, the master was not there, and it was not easy to talk to him, so he pulled his mother-in-law back and asked in a low voice, "Don't you?" Let's take care of it, the more messy it gets, let Xiaohua call Li Ran."

"It's gone..." Aunt Ma impatiently pulled Da Zhu to hold her hand.

"This is my house, not yours." Li Heng protested Zhang's words while wiping his tears and nose.

"I said you little bastard, if we didn't often give you food and money, you would still be lively and dancing now. It's been a waste of raising you all these years." People who don't know think that Li Ran and his brother are really ungrateful Charted people.

But the whole village can see the actual situation. When the family separated and left the house, Li Dashan and his wife worked hard to raise a few pieces of land to support a large family, and they were beaten by the old lady from time to time.After Li Dashan and his wife left for more than half a year, the people in the old house didn't pay much attention to them. They were all supported by Aunt Ma, the third mother-in-law and others so that they would not starve to death.Now that people's life has finally gotten better, people in the old house are jealous again. Speaking of which, Mrs. Zhang is really a shit-stirring stick, which made Li's Yaoer family move to the county to work, and only come back during the Chinese New Year.
