Farmer's daughter is also self-improvement

Chapter 55
Li Shasha got angry: "Auntie, I'm helping you get close to Xiaobai. You're good enough to laugh at me. I won't say anything, let Xiaobai bite you!" Li Yulan was so scared that she quickly pulled Li Shasha back: "Okay, okay Alright, let me call you grandma!" Li Shasha then smiled and led Xiao Bai to the opposite side, and Li Yulan had to follow behind.

When we got to the front of the house, we saw Lei Zhengtang, Wu Shi, Lei Guoxiu and Lei Guoyu were there.Lei Zhengtang ran over a few steps, and picked up Li Shasha: "Oh, my good granddaughter is here, do you know that grandpa misses you!" Li Shasha said shyly, "Grandpa, I miss you too!"

Li Shasha turned her face again and saw Wu Shi who was smiling all over her face, and greeted: "Grandma, I miss you too!" Wu Shi stepped forward and said, "Did my good granddaughter drink honey in the morning!" "Grandma, you're making fun of me again!" Looking sideways, Lei Guoxiu was smiling all over his face, but the corners of his mouth were slightly bent down, showing some disdain, while Lei Guoyu had a sincere smile on his face, gently watching her.

Li Shasha lay on Lei Zhengtang's shoulder again, calling two aunts respectively, and Li Yulan came over to say hello to everyone.Mrs. Wu hastily stepped forward, grabbed Li Yulan's hand and praised: "Yo, Yulan is getting longer and more handsome. I don't know how her in-laws raised her. She looks so small. In a few years, the threshold of your house will not be stepped on by the matchmaker. It's over." Li Yulan's blushing went from neck to neck, and she couldn't say a word.

Seeing that her aunt was embarrassed, Li Shasha interrupted: "Grandpa, grandma, let's go in and talk, the things in my aunt's back basket are also quite heavy." Lei Zhengtang suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, go in quickly, Xiu'er and Yu'er and the two help the in-laws unload the basket." A group of people entered the main room talking and laughing.

Li Yulan took out the things in the basket one by one, and handed them to Mrs. Wu one by one.Li Shasha saw a small basket of eggs in rice bran, a jar of yogurt, and some fresh celery and potatoes.Wu looked at the things and smiled from ear to ear: "Oh, my in-laws are so polite, so many things, how good it is to keep them for myself!" Li Yulan said shyly: "Brother Zhi, please trouble your family. It’s a trivial matter, and I need to trouble you.”

While talking, she took off the straw rope tied behind the basket, Wu's eyes lit up, there were actually two big grass carp.Their family lives further into the mountains than Li Shasha's, and there is no small river or anything, only a small stream, and there are some small catfish and small crabs. Where have I seen such a big grass carp.

Looking at the two big grass carp, Mrs. Wu became more polite: "It's almost noon, Sister Sha and Yulan will have lunch with me, Xiu'er, Yu'er, hurry up and cook. I also cook a piece of meat that my son bought back from the market, and then burn a piece of fish to eat." Li Yulan was anxious when she heard this: "Auntie, don't be so polite, we often eat this fish, don't cook it, save it for us Eat it at home! If you can’t finish it, you can salt it and eat it slowly.”

Lei Zhengtang was sitting on a chair, holding Li Shasha in his arms and talking teasingly, when he heard this, he smiled and said: "Yulan, you girl, you are a rare visitor, you have never been to uncle's house, you must treat him well! Just don't worry about it, let your two sisters go to work!"

Li Shasha didn't see her uncle and brother when she entered the house, so she asked Lei Zhengtang, "Grandpa, where did uncle and brother go?" "The two of them went hunting in the mountains with Lao Zheng, and they should be back soon. You guys met." Lei Zhengtang replied.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a commotion outside: "Grandpa, grandpa, what do you think I'm doing today?" With this shout, a person ran in from outside.Li Shasha took a closer look, isn't it her brother who loves to play and eat?I haven't seen him grow a lot taller and darker in half a month, but he runs with wind, and his big eyes have become piercing.

When he looked up, he happened to see Li Shasha looking at him with a smile, and ran over as soon as he threw the things in his hand and shouted in surprise: "Sister, you come to see me!" Li Shasha nodded: "And aunt, we all I came to see you!" Li Xianzhi turned around and saw his aunt sitting beside him, and ran to greet Li Yulan again.

It took a while for Li Xianzhi to enter the door before Lei Guoan came in slowly.He didn't know that there were guests at home, and he scolded Li Xianzhi as he walked: "Brother Zhi, just run so fast, and be honest when you fall a big somersault." Li Shasha jumped off Lei Zhengtang's lap, shouting Said: "Uncle! Uncle!"

Only then did Lei Guoan realize that there were two more guests in the room, his face flushed immediately, and he said embarrassedly, "Sister Sha, I didn't see you, why are you here today?" He blushed again and greeted Li Yulan.

Li Shasha said seriously: "I came here today, one is to see my brother, and the other is to ask grandpa for help." Lei Zhengtang was a little surprised when he heard this: "How can I help?" Li Shasha said word by word: " Ask grandpa to help build a new house!"

As soon as she said this, there was a sudden exclamation in the room.Wu's voice was the loudest: "Sister Sha, is your family really going to build a new house?" Li Shasha replied: "It is true, so, I think I will let grandpa and uncle do the carpentry work, of course we will pay the wages. For masons, I have to ask my grandfather to help me find a few familiar ones with good jobs, and the wages are negotiable."

Lei Zhengtang thought for a while: "I will build a house for your family. Your uncle and I just need to take care of the food. Needless to say, there is no money. Sister Sha estimates how big a house you want to build?" Li Shasha replied: "Then what? Okay, you and your uncle have something to eat, and my grandmother and two aunts are still hungry at home. Don’t worry, there won’t be too much. It’s the same wage as the one you went to the county to buy dowry furniture last time. That piece The land is about two mu of land, and the village has not yet measured it, and the exact size will not be known until the measurement is completed."

Lei Zhengtang did some calculations: "Let's not talk about that for now. If it's about two acres of land, you need to find at least 15 people. To recruit these people, you have to allow me some time. I won't be able to get them together in a short while. "Li Shasha said bluntly: "Grandpa, just watch and come, and how much does each person pay for a month? Absolutely in time."

After talking about this matter, Li Shasha turned her face and asked Li Xianzhi: "Brother, how have you learned from the master?" Li Xianzhi remembered the prey just thrown at the door, and he happily picked it up from the ground and sent it to Li Shasha In front of him: "Sister, look, the prey this brother shot today."

When Li Shasha saw it, it was a gray hare with a small feathered arrow stuck in its back.Immediately she clapped her hands happily: "My brother is awesome, he can actually shoot a hare. I can tell grandma to reassure her old man when I go back. My brother is the best." "Of course!" stooped.

Li Shasha took the opportunity to ask again: "Is your master treating you well?" Li Xianzhi said proudly: "Of course my master is kind to me. Don't look at my master who doesn't like to talk. He is very careful in his work and teaches me very carefully." These days, I practice basic skills with him very early in the morning, and our uncle has also learned some."

Li Shasha felt relieved when he heard him say this: "Study hard, come back before August [-]th, our big tile-roofed house should be built, you don't need to build a small broken bed by then, I will ask grandma to give you one Is it okay to leave a room?" Li Xianzhi cheered happily when he heard that there was nothing wrong with it.Li Shasha can only lament that this unlucky child hasn't slept in a good bed yet.

Turning around with a smile on his face, he said to Lei Zhengtang: "When the time comes, I will ask grandpa to make you a very strong big bed, so that you can do somersaults on it." Lei Zhengtang also happily replied: "No problem." Li Xianzhi was happy for a while.

Mrs. Wu carefully asked Li Shasha from the side: "Sister Sha, why do you think of building a new house all of a sudden?" Li Shasha smiled heartlessly: "The original house is too small, if my grandfather, father and Both mothers come back, and if my mother gives birth to younger brothers and sisters, there will be a total of three houses, and one is the stove house. Grandma, you can’t even sleep if everyone in the new house is in the new house.”

Wu wanted to ask how her family got rich, and they could build a new house within two months.Unexpectedly, Li Shasha built the building crookedly, she shut her mouth in embarrassment.

Lei Guoxiu and Lei Guoyu were cooking in the kitchen, and they heard laughter in the main room, talking about a new house.Lei Guoxiu twitched the corners of his mouth again and again: "Yu'er, do you think their family will really build a new house?" Lei Guoyu said seriously: "If it wasn't for the real new house, they could travel all the way to invite people, It seems that the life of the eldest sister's family is about to turn around."

Lei Guoxiu snorted: "Yu'er, you are so easy to trust people. A person who didn't even have money for medicine last month was able to start a house in just over a month. I think Sister Sha is bragging."

"Fourth sister, why do you look down on people like this? Poor people don't have a chance to become rich. I think the elder sister's family will live a better life in the future. Once she has money, the elder brother-in-law will be able to take the imperial examination." , just relying on him to be the top of the case, in the future he may not be able to be the number one in the examination, and earn my eldest sister a royal order to be a wife." Lei Guoyu stood up for the elder sister's family.

Lei Guoxiu spat: "Silly sister, do you think it's as easy to be the number one scholar as it is for us to go to work in the fields? If it's easy, why has there never been a number one scholar in our county? Could it be that people in the past were not as smart as your elder brother-in-law? Didn't mother marry the eldest sister because of the same thinking as you? Look at how many years we've been married, brother Zhi is over eight years old, isn't he still a poor scholar?"

Lei Guoyu got a little angry: "Fourth sister, do you think that the elder sister's family is poor and life is hard, so you are happy?" , come on, I won't tell you, okay!" Lei Guoxiu pursed her lips.
