Chapter 113
Hua Xiaoqiao was flattered, and quickly put off: "How can this be done, Aunt Zhang can't do it." It was the first time we met, and she was really embarrassed to stay at Aunt Zhang's house for dinner.

Lin Dahe, who had been silent all this time, opened his mouth: "Girl, stay here for dinner, we won't eat you again. They say that once you are born and you are cooked twice, you will be neighbors in the future. It's just a meal, even if it's not The acquaintance knocked on the door and said that we would come in for dinner, and we all wanted to entertain, but it’s just that they are all simple and light meals, girls, just don’t be disgusted.”

Aunt Zhang also said, "Yeah, why would you care about this meal when you are neighbors in the future, you can stay and eat with peace of mind." As she said that, Aunt Zhang had already pulled her to sit on the edge of the table.

Hua Xiaoqiao really felt a little embarrassed, after all, she didn't buy anything for Aunt Zhang herself, but she herself was fine, and she was really sorry for bothering him like this on the first day she came here.

The dishes on the table are very simple, a small plate of meat, and the rest are two fried dishes, boiled porridge, and a small plate of pickles beside it.

This kind of food is really good in such a family. I'm afraid that the meat was added only after watching her come. I was very moved by what Aunt Zhang did for her.

He picked up the chopsticks and started to eat under the greeting of Mrs. Zhang.

The taste can't be said to be good, but it can't be said to be bad. For her who is already hungry, it is very lucky to be able to eat such a meal, so it is naturally impossible to be picky.

It was very stuffy outside, and I was sweating all the time sitting still, which was often a harbinger of rain.

Some worried that the weather would be bad, and it would rain before tomorrow.

"I don't know when the rain will fall. It would be great if it can last through tomorrow." Although she hoped so, but the weather seemed really bad, maybe it would rain at night.

Aunt Zhang also thought it was very possible, sighed and comforted: "Don't worry too much, maybe it will be the day after tomorrow, as long as it is tomorrow afternoon, don't be afraid. The inside of the main room is relatively dilapidated, but the back room is okay. In the morning, we will directly remove the main room Just turn it over."

When she said this, she didn't know what to do. The weather was changing too fast, and it was too hot now.

Hua Xiaoqiao walked out of the yard, looked at the sky and said, "Anyway, let's go and buy the tiles now, and we'll talk about the rest later."

Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to move in. If it doesn't work, I will delay it for two days. The humidity in the house is too heavy, and it is not good for people to live in.

Thinking this way in my heart is an idea.

Aunt Zhang also felt that she bought the tiles before it rained: "Well, Xiao Qiao, I will take you there."

The place to buy tiles is in a village not far from the city. When Hua Xiaoqiao went there, she saw many people in the mud fields busy making and drying tiles.

There was a lot of smoke in the kiln on the side, and several men were adding firewood to the kiln.

There is a large pile of tiles placed in the open space not far away.

It was the first time Hua Xiaoqiao saw how tiles were fired and felt very curious.

Aunt Zhang introduced as she walked: "The fired tiles in this cave are relatively strong, and the patterns are also beautiful, and the price is also cheap. If someone builds a house in the west of our city, they will buy tiles here."

Hua Xiaoqiao nodded as if she had realized something, and looked at her curiously.

Burning tiles is hard work, and it also requires skill when making blanks. Just watching the clay quickly become a piece of tile in the hands of the craftsman, I always feel miraculous.

The people in the tile kiln saw that there was a business coming, so they called the boss out one after another. Now Aunt Zhang and the boss know each other.

As soon as the two met, they began to greet each other with a smile.

"Brother is doing well recently." Aunt Zhang looked at the old man in front of her with a smile.

The old man has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and he looks very simple and honest: "Okay, thanks to everyone's blessings, life is not bad. Do you need tiles when you come here today?"

If there is nothing to do, I will definitely not come here. If I think about it, I will only visit this kiln factory if I need tiles.

Aunt Zhang looked back at Hua Xiaoqiao, and said with a smile on her face, "This is my new neighbor. The yard needs to be renovated and a tile is needed, so I will bring her to you. It is estimated that five or six hundred horsepower will be needed."

Mrs. Zhang was always counting on the road, the old man nodded: "I'll ask someone to load the car and I'll pull it over for you. The price is still the same as before, one penny and two horses. money."

This is the rule, Hua Xiaoqiao also knows that the price is not very expensive, the wages and costs of this watt are not cheap, the price is acceptable, even if it is [-] watts, it only costs [-] yuan, and ten Wenqian's car fare is basically out of rules, after all, if you want to find a carriage in the city, it will cost more than that.

Hua Xiaoqiao hardly thought about it, she just nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll trouble the boss."

The old man looked at Hua Xiaoqiao with a smile and nodded: "Go to the accountant over there and give the money. How many watts do you want?"

"Six hundred, it's good to buy more, but I'm afraid there won't be enough." She also knew that if this item is not used up, it can be kept there, and if it is not enough, it will be troublesome.

Aunt Zhang knew the old man, so of course she wanted to catch up on the old days when they met.

She didn't interrupt the two of them talking, and found the place to pay the money in the direction the old man pointed just now.

After giving 310 Wen, the other party wrote a note to Hua Xiaoqiao and it was over.

Here Hua Xiaoqiao took the note to the old man and handed it to the old man. The old man just shouted "six hundred" and the workers started to load the car.

There are more and more dark clouds in the sky, forming a thick layer like a big tripod, giving people a feeling of depression.

Always feel out of breath.

After the installation was finished, Aunt Zhang hurriedly said goodbye to the old man, took Hua Xiaoqiao and followed the ox cart into the city.

"It's going to rain, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive tonight." Aunt Zhang sighed sadly, her eyes full of worry.

"Yeah, depending on the weather, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive tonight, but it doesn't matter as long as the tiles are at home, don't worry, and when the weather clears, the tiles can be turned over." Now she has thought clearly, and she can live with the situation, and can't force anything.

Aunt Zhang was still very sad: "I think the tiles should be placed under the eaves, not in the yard. When it rains, the tiles will be heavily watered and it will not be easy to get them on the roof."

Aunt Zhang must have more experience than her in these matters. After listening to Aunt Zhang's analysis, she thinks it makes sense. It is true that the bricks and tiles will become heavier if they enter the water.

"Then listen to Mrs. Zhang. I think the tiles can be put directly into the house. We can use a little more effort tomorrow, and I'll help out at that time." She definitely couldn't stand by and watch.
