Farmer's daughter is also self-improvement

Chapter 59
Li Shasha said with a smile: "Look at grandpa's work is really serious, and all our masters are doing a good job. My grandma asked brother Xiao Shunzi to send some big watermelons, and I will let uncle and them Go down and bring the watermelon up for the masters to quench their thirst!"

When Lei Guoan heard this, he was a teenager at heart, so he couldn't sit still: "Father, I can go with Er Shuanzi, if you can't carry it with your hands, you can carry it on your back." Lei Zhengtang glanced at his youngest son, Nod.After Lei Guoan called Er Shuanzi, he led Li Shasha down to pick up watermelons.

When they got home, Li Shasha asked Li Yulan to bring out eight big watermelons. There were sixteen of them, exactly half of each.Lei Guoan and Er Shuanzi each had four large watermelons, but they only packed three, and they couldn't fit in the basket, so they had to hold one in their arms.

Li Shasha followed the two back to the construction site of the new house. The craftsmen stopped working when they saw such a large number of shiny green watermelons, and started talking about it.This said, I heard that there is such a thing as watermelon. It seems that there is no such thing in our county, and I haven't eaten it yet.That said, I was lucky enough to eat a small piece, but it was sweet.

Li Shasha said cheerfully to everyone: "Masters, you have worked hard! This is a watermelon that my grandma bought from the town to relieve the summer heat for the masters. Half of it per person, eat slowly!" The masters were all happy and went straight I said that I will definitely come to this family in the future. The daily meals are very good, and I can often eat fish and meat. When it is hot, I will buy expensive watermelon for everyone to relieve the heat.

After eating the watermelon, the craftsmen became more energetic in their work, and the work was done quickly and meticulously.Li Shasha thought to herself, if she continues to be motivated like this, she will probably finish the project in half a month.I can move in half a month before the Mid-Autumn Festival, so that the old house below can be handed over to Lizheng on time, and some money can be refunded for that house.

It was almost July and a half in a blink of an eye, and the new house above had all been completed, and all the furniture in the room had been placed in place.All the craftsmen and masters settled their wages and went home happily one by one.

Lei Zhengtang and Lei Guoan didn't want wages for life and death. When Wang Shi was pushing Lei Zhengtang back and forth, Li Shasha said: "Grandpa, you and uncle have been working for our family for more than a month. If you say you don't want wages, then My grandma and two aunts won’t eat with the family! If you don’t accept it this time, how dare we ask you to come and help next time. Besides, it’s not like my family can’t afford wages now, so don’t worry about accepting it. !"

After some words, Lei Zhengtang was speechless, and then he remembered something and said: "This salary is acceptable, but it is too much, it is twice as much as other craftsmen!" Li Shasha explained: "You said that you paid for it. In our new house, we have to worry about everything more than other people, and that worry is more than twice as much as other craftsmen, I think the wages are less." Lei Zhengtang made her say that she could only accept the wages, Li Shasha Then I asked them to bring some watermelons back home for my grandma, a few aunts, Li Xianzhi and Lao Zheng to try.

Li Shasha said to Lei Zhengtang again: "When we finish moving, I will invite you and grandma, uncle and fourth aunt, auntie, and the whole family of second aunt and third aunt to come over and have a lively time together, which can be regarded as warming us up." The house!" Both Lei Zhengtang and Lei Guoan agreed one by one.

After sending Lei Zhengtang and Lei Guoan away, Wang asked Li Yulan and Li Shasha to discuss together when to move.Both Wang and Li Yulan were eager to move in, but Li Shasha persuaded: "Grandma, aunt, this new house and newly built furniture need to be aired, otherwise we will easily fall ill when we move in."

Wang and Li Yulan are now used to listening to Li Shasha's opinions. Although they didn't listen to her reasons, they still agreed with her suggestion and didn't move in for the time being.

Mrs. Wang put another matter on the agenda: "It will be July and a half soon. On that day, you have to worship your ancestors and burn paper offerings to your ancestors. This year, the old lady lives next door. I don't know that this worship ceremony will be held in the next day. Who made it. After offering sacrifices, all the men in the family will go to the ancestor's grave to kowtow and burn buns."

Li Shasha interjected: "This matter is easy to handle, and I will definitely not make a confession at our family. If it is settled at any house, we will give the money to that house. If you burn the buns, the only man in our family is my brother. I don’t know if he will come back, but if he comes back, let him go.”

Li Shasha asked Wang again: "Grandma, what kind of solar term is this July and a half? Why do we worship our ancestors at this time?" It’s called the Yu Lan Basin Festival. Lord Yan will open the gate of ghosts on the first day of July, and let all the ghosts go home to have a look, and close the gate of ghosts on the half day of July. So, there are deceased ancestors in the family Before July and a half, they will cook the favorite meals of the ancestors and put them on the table, so that they can eat when they come back. They will also put the paper money to be burned to the ancestors in a paper bag, and write their names and names on the paper bag. The name of the place should also be written on who it is burned for, and finally the paper package must be dripped with rooster blood, so that they can receive it and let them have money to spend when they go back.”

"Oh, so it is like this. Then let's make a steamed bun for our ancestors, and put more paper money for our ancestors." Li Shasha continued.

Wang smiled and touched Li Shasha's head: "Sister Sha is really filial. If grandma goes away in the future, you have to burn more paper money for grandma." Li Shasha said angrily: "Grandma is talking nonsense, you old man A good person will live a long life. Not only we honor you, but also our grandsons will honor you." Mrs. Wang immediately smiled when she heard this, and kept saying yes.

Li Yulan may have thought of her dead mother, and felt a little lonely beside her.Seeing this, Mrs. Wang said to Li Yulan: "Yulan, if you want to bake buns for your aunt, you can also make one. Then we and the family will burn it for her, and she will receive it." Wen died in the county seat Yes, Li Dehe didn't transport her back to bury her in the ancestral grave, but just found a piece of land outside the county seat and buried her, so what Wang said meant that she could receive it without burning her on the grave.Li Yulan listened and nodded with tears in her eyes.

After lunch, Mrs. Wang and Li Yulan went to Li Dehai's house to inquire about the burning buns for ancestor worship.Li Shasha also followed, she wanted to ask Li Lingling for a puppy from Rhubarb.In the future, when my house grows bigger, I am also afraid that someone will climb over the wall at night, and I feel relieved to have a dog.

Although tigers can be raised in her space now, the most peculiar thing is that the tigers do not eat meat, but also eat grass like other domestic animals.But you can't put the tiger on the bright side. If a dog barks, it may scare the thieves away. If you really can't stop it, then don't blame her for letting the tiger go.

When they arrived at Li Dehai's ping, Li Lingling was playing with stones on the porch. When she saw them coming, she happily led Li Shasha and the others into the house. Wang and Li Yulan discussed with Li Dehai and Xiao Zhang about ancestor worship, and Li Shasha followed Li Lingling. Went to her backyard to see rhubarb and some of its babies.

Rhubarb gave birth to four puppies this time, and Li Shasha saw that the four furry puppies were so cute, she wanted to reach out and pet them.Unexpectedly, Rhubarb, who is usually very gentle, suddenly barked his teeth and barked at her, causing her to take a big step back in fright.

Seeing Li Shasha's frightened look, Li Lingling couldn't help laughing loudly: "Sister Sha, this rhubarb is a child who is afraid that you will touch it. Don't be afraid, I'll grab one for you! Look, I'll give you whichever one you like. Which one do you catch?" After speaking, he pointed at the four puppies.

Li Shasha only thinks that all four are cute, but she didn't see clearly when she got close to them just now. This will make her decide which one to choose, and she really can't tell.Seeing that she had no idea, Li Lingling picked the strongest one for her on her own initiative and hugged it. This time, Rhubarb didn't dare to show her teeth, but she whimpered helplessly and died down.

Li Shasha saw that the puppy was white and yellow, with round eyes and a fat body, which looked very festive.Li Shasha stretched out her hand to take it, and the puppy barked twice, then lay on her hand docilely, and stretched out its long tongue to lick Li Shasha's hand.

Li Shasha couldn't put it down, and said to Li Lingling: "Just this one, it looks good to me." Li Lingling said indifferently: "It's just as long as you like it. I'll pick you the strongest one, which is easy to feed. It’s another little male dog, and it will definitely be able to look after the house in the future.”

Li Shasha smiled and said: "Well, then I chose the right one, I'm afraid there will be some petty thieves." The two returned to the main room with the puppy in their arms. Several people took the puppy back home.

After entering the house, Li Shasha asked Wang: "Grandma, whose family are you going to worship the ancestors this time?" Let’s worship the ancestors! This time, each family will hand over a tael of silver to the next door, and they will take care of it.”

"A tael of silver? Is this what the neighbor wants? Hey, give it to them. I won't go just for dinner." Li Shasha said.Li Yulan was also on the sidelines, saying, "I'm not going either, and I won't eat food from their house in my life. If it wasn't for the great event of worshiping ancestors, I wouldn't even set foot in her house."

Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, Li Shasha hurriedly interrupted: "Don't talk about those disappointing things, aunt, look at the little pup under the rhubarb, he will take care of the nursing home for us from now on! What's the name?" Li Yulan bowed her head Looking at the puppy in Li Shasha's arms, she also liked its chubby and cute appearance very much, so she touched the top of its head with her hand: "Is this a male or a female?"

Li Shasha picked up its dog's paw: "I'm a young man!" Hey, by the way, my cousin's family had a dog named Wangwang in the previous life.So she said to Li Yulan: "Auntie, let's call it Wangwang! We always call it Wangwang, Wangwang. From now on, our family's wealth and people will also be prosperous."
