There are mountains, rivers, and wolf kings

Chapter 42

"You child, this money is lent to your family, and you can pay it back when you have it!" Aunt Zhao gave Li Haitang a sharp look, "Haitang, building a house is the most expensive thing, let's talk about it." Now, I want to build a house. Naturally, I want to build a better one, this is a place to live for a lifetime!"

Li Haitang couldn't shirk it, so he could only remember Zhao's kindness in his heart.

Seeing Li Haitang accepting the money, Mrs. Zhao grinned: "Haitang, this house is built for cooking and so on. People are indispensable. Just say hello when the time comes!"

Li Haitang nodded: "When the time comes, I will really trouble Grandma Zhao for your help!"

Aunt Zhao nodded with a smile, "What is trouble, it should be done. Xiao Hua said that she came to talk to you, so I'll go first. Let's talk among you little sisters."

After Li Haitang went out to send someone off, she turned around and Zhao Xiaohua looked excited: "Haitang, you have finally escaped from your grandma's clutches. After your family builds a big house, I will look for it when I have time." you go."

"Well, good, then don't feel too far away!" Li Haitang said with a smile.

"Our village is only this big, how far can we go?" Zhao Xiaohua pouted.

"It's not very far, it's on the other side of the village, by the river." Li Haitang replied with a smile, "It's right next to the family with a single family house!"

Zhao Xiaohua thought for a while, and said in surprise: "Why did you choose that place? I know that family is an outsider from our village. It may be that someone from a big family took refuge here or something! You don't even know, I often live in our village. The butcher saw that the children in that family were dressed decently and cleanly, and had good-looking births, and none of the younger children in our village looked as good-looking as him!"

Li Haitang has a black hair, and he is too kind to Gu Yongjia, there is no young man in Li Family Village who can beat him in appearance.Looking at the peach blossoms on Zhao Xiaohua's face, Li Haitang felt that she should rot her marriage contract with him. She is only nine years old now, so why would it take five or six years before she gets married?

"I've seen it a few times too, so that's it. How can Xiaohua exaggerate what you said?"

Zhao Xiaohua glared at her: "Haitang, you don't have any eyesight at all, I don't know, many girls in the village are optimistic about the young man of that family. It's a pity that he is so good-looking, and he is deserted. Dare to talk to him." Saying that, Zhao Xiaohua sighed regretfully.

Not listening to Zhao Xiaohua's nympho, Li Haitang went into the kitchen and stuffed a handful of chestnuts into her hands: "This is delicious with the skin off."

Zhao Xiaohua didn't see this once, but followed Li Haitang's example of peeling and criticizing, and ate the golden chestnut meat.

"It's delicious, it's delicious, I've never eaten it before. Begonia, what is this?" Zhao Xiaohua said happily, she thought it was better than the cakes sold in the town!
Li Haitang stuck out his tongue. Sure enough, there are not many things that children in the countryside can make teeth for. This chestnut will definitely be loved.

"I made this on the mountain, and found something edible by accident. I know where it is, and I'll take you to get it later, but you have to keep it a secret, otherwise everyone will know, and we won't have anything to eat! "Li Haitang said.

Zhao Xiaohua held Li Haitang's hand tightly, and said incoherently: "Haitang, you are so kind, you tell me such important things. We will always be good sisters!"

Well, Li Haitang underestimated Zhao Xiaohua's reaction, this guy almost swore.In fact, this chestnut is so delicious, and Li Haitang generously told Zhao Xiaohua that this is not just something delicious in Zhao Xiaohua's heart, it is Li Haitang's expression of treating her as one of his own.

After eating a large handful of chestnuts, Zhao Xiaohua stood up contentedly and prepared to go home, and made an appointment to go to the mountain to get chestnuts together after Haitang's house was built.

After Zhao Xiaohua left for a while, Li Yulin came back, and after closing the door, he took out a few copper coins from his pocket.Li Haitang also hurriedly took out the two copper coins sent by Mrs. Zhao's family and handed them to Li Yulin: "Father, this is from Mrs. Zhao's family. She said it was for us to use first. I will return it later when I have it!"

"Yeah. Haitang, help dad think that this is all the money from someone, and we have to pay it back in the future." Li Yulin told everyone how much money the family took, and asked Li Haitang to take care of it. Help me remember.Li Haitang clicked his tongue, his father's reputation in the village is quite good, so many family members lent him money.

"Father, I will remember. When our family has money, we will pay it back. Then we will give them more!"

"You little clever ghost." Li Yulin poked Li Haitang on the forehead.

Li Haitang laughed.

After tidying up, the four father and daughter lay down on the kang.Li Haitang was thinking in his heart, waiting for the new house to get up, so they don't have to sleep in a crowd, and when the time comes, they will share one room, how nice it is!

The next day.

Li Haitang got up before dawn, lit a fire and cooked. After dinner, Dad and the others were going to lay the foundation. The house had to be done as soon as possible, before it snowed.When she turned around, she went to Aunt Gu and said that she would borrow their place for cooking at noon. In this way, there was no need to waste time, and she could do as much as she could.

Regarding Haitang's request, Gu Su readily agreed, and said that the vegetables in the yard can be used freely, and they can't be eaten at home anyway. On weekdays, besides eating, the biggest use of her planting is to decorate the yard, so that the yard can be seen Be angry!After hearing this reason, Li Haitang clicked his tongue, sure enough, rich people are different!

The people who come to build houses here are all the old and young men in the village, and they don’t pay much attention to food, as long as they can fill their stomachs!It's not the busy season for farming, and I can only eat half full at home. Now I'm just doing my best to help out, and I can still get a full meal.

"Brother Dalin, the foundation of your house is really big. When the house is built, it will be the largest in our village!" A man about the same age as Li Yulin envied.

"There's nothing to be envious of. You can build it later, and then you can build something bigger than this one!" Li Yulin replied, waving the pickaxe without looking up.

"Well, Brother Da Lin, this house has earned a lot of money! Where did you come from?" The man pretended to be casual and asked again.

Li Yulin frowned slightly, who would say such a thing?But since people asked, they couldn't help but say, "The owner of the house where I worked heard that I was going to build a house, so they lent me some money."

"It's great, you have such a good boss these days, Brother Dalin, you are lucky. Such a large sum of money!" The man sighed again.

"The money has to be paid back, and I will have to suffer for a while when the house is up." Li Yulin replied.

Building a house is a labor-intensive job. With so many people working, Li Haitang thought that there must be enough oil in the belly of the workers!No, she bought a large pot of pigs from the butcher for [-] yuan, and spent half an afternoon cleaning it up, cooking it in a big pot!
No one in the village has anything to eat pigs into the water. Every time the butcher's family kills a pig, they feed it to the dogs except for the heart and liver. Seeing Li Haitang buying this thing, he happily gave him two extra hooves bladder.
