Xiuse Farmhouse

Chapter 91 Untitled
In the evening, Wanwan still cooks the meals, and the few working people eat delicious dishes, and they also eat an extra bowl of rice.After dinner, Wanwan and Yuan Baoniang packed up together, and then the couple went back to their own home.

During the day, there was no time or opportunity to talk to Baishou. After washing and lying on the bed, Wanwan told Baishou what happened today, including the extra [-] wen sent to the few people who followed him to Zhuangzi in the morning. .

After listening to Baishou, he nodded in agreement: "You are right, some people will always think of being lazy, so that's good, remind them, if you want to earn money, you have to work hard!"

As for Yang Wan's wages, Baishou also expressed his opinion: "As long as she does a good job, she should be given as much or as much as she is. If people don't offend me, I certainly won't offend others. Daughter-in-law, do you think so?"

Wanwan smiled slightly: "Yang Wan's temperament should be better than her mother, so I think so too."

Baishou's face rubbed against her soft hair, wrapped her arms around her waist and completely wrapped her in his arms, and said in a low voice: "Daughter-in-law, it's really hard work for you!"

Wan Wanyang kissed him on the cheek, and said with a smile: "You have worked hard these days!"

The two couples hugged each other, looked at each other silently and laughed!

The next day Wanwan woke up early in the morning, her upper and lower eyelids were still glued together, and she was still a little tired. After soaking her face in cold water with a handkerchief, she regained consciousness. She hasn't slept in for a long time since she came to this place. It's been a long time. I have never tasted the comfort of waking up naturally!

But Baishou was earlier than her. He went down the mountain just as the sky was covered with a glimmer of light. Now he should be working in the house in the village!

Men get up early in the morning to work, and women must also get up early. In this era, no one sleeps in late, and people will be called a lazy woman if they sleep late!

Li Suo put on his clothes, rubbed his face with cold water again, and now he was fully awake, then went into the kitchen and started cooking. He wanted to order porridge at first, but Baishou worked so hard, so he couldn't maintain enough energy. , There is still enough rice at home, let’s be a little extravagant, let’s cook dry rice these few days!

Anyway, their family has money now!With that in mind, Wanwan scooped up another bowl of rice, cooked the rice and fried the vegetables.After the meals were ready, they started to cook the pig food, cleaned up the inside and outside of the house, fed the chickens, and waited for the pig food to be cooked and finished feeding the pigs.It was dawn in the morning.After a while, Baishou came back.

Wan Wan immediately put the rice and vegetables on the table, fetched water for Bai Shou to wash his hands, and the two sat down to eat.

Baishou was a little happy to see that he had cooked dry rice today. He was already hungry after a long morning's work, so he picked up the vegetables and put them in the Wanwan bowl, and then picked up the bowl and began to eat.After eating several bowls, the dishes were almost finished, so Wanwan put the last small chopsticks of vegetables into Baishou bowls, packed up the empty bowls and went into the kitchen.

Baishou ate the last morsel of rice and green vegetables in two or three strokes, took the bowl into the kitchen, Wanwan was washing the dishes by the stove, put the bowl in the pot, and sat down beside him.

Wanwan saw how satisfied he was eating, and asked, "Is it delicious? Let's cook this for a few days!"

Baishou knew that she was talking about dry rice, so after thinking about it, he said, "Everyone is tired of helping these few days, so let's cook dry rice like yesterday, and you will have strength when you are full. If you don't have enough rice, you can go to the market to buy some. Let’s use Brother Yang’s and his family’s again. However, let’s just eat whatever we want in the morning!”

Wanwan glanced at him and immediately understood what he meant. Poor people sometimes eat pancakes. If her family wants to let people know that they have three meals a day, those people must guess how much money they earn. up!
So I agreed, I just thought that the porridge would be thicker in the morning, and I would still be full after frying a few pancakes!
After sitting at home for a while, Baishou went to the village, closed the door Wanwan, put the remaining silver given by shopkeeper Yu into an earthen jar, buried it in the soil to cover it, and went down the mountain to the end of the village after a while.

The roof was built yesterday, and everyone is now starting to build the courtyard wall according to the circled line.Wanwan stood on the side of the road not far away and looked at the remodeled house from a distance. The roof looked good, but the walls should be re-pasted. The widened yard looks spacious and nice.The backyard is indeed a bit narrow.

But she has already made up her mind to build the pigsty in the innermost place. They don’t have many pigs, only two, and one more farm is enough. Then there is a chicken coop for the place where the chickens are fed. Leave half of the open air, and pave a gravel road with small stones next to it, and pass there every day when feeding the pigs. If it rains, the gravel road will not stick to shoes like a dirt road.

A little further from the chicken coop is the corner, where a vegetable garden is surrounded by a fence, and of course gravel roads must be used to cross the road.Moreover, a small channel must be left in the corner of the vegetable garden to go outside. If water accumulates in the vegetable garden, it will automatically flow outward.In the future, the vegetable garden will not be flooded when it rains heavily.

The pigsty, chicken coop and vegetable garden are solved, and the kitchen and bathing place next to it are much easier to handle.

When the house is finished, she and Baishou will slowly pave the gravel road, and build a flower bed when they have time.The two vegetable gardens on the hill are still usable.Thinking of Wanwan unconsciously showing a smile.

At this moment, he heard footsteps coming from behind, turned his head, and saw Li Dazhi, mother and son walking towards them.

Wanwan was stunned for a moment, without even thinking about it, he raised his foot and walked towards Baishou and the others.

The way back home happened to pass through the backyard of Wanwan's house, and when he saw people building the courtyard wall, Li Dashi enthusiastically said to Baishou: "Ah, Brother Baishou, it's so fast, they are all building... Wall? Want... help?"

Hearing this, Baishou raised his head and smiled at Li Dashi: "Yeah, everyone help you to fix it quickly!" He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, glanced at Li Dazhi who was staring at them, and smiled at Li Dashi. Dashi said: "Thank you, the house has been finished, only this wall is left, and it will be finished soon with so many people, I don't need to trouble you, thank you!"

"Oh, brother Baishou, you are too polite, there is nothing... thank you for your help!" Li Dashi said.

"I'm not polite, I'm telling the truth." Baishou said.

Some of the men working next to him joked, "I said Dashi, come down if you want to help, why are you standing on the side of the road whimpering?"

"That's right, Brother Dashi, we have to work hard, we can't just talk... Could it be that you just talked casually?"

"Who said I was talking casually, I... really want to help Brother Baishou." Li Dashi blushed and said, put down his back and threw it at his younger brother Li Dazhi's feet, and walked over.

His mother didn't even have time to wink.

Li Dashi has always had goodwill towards Baishou and his wife, so a few people were so agitated, regardless of whether Baishou agreed or not, he picked up the guy and followed suit.

Standing by the side of the road, Li Dazhi saw that his brother had already passed by, gave his mother what he was holding, and said, "Mother, you go back first." He turned around and walked towards Li Dashi.

Wanwan took a look in the front yard, and roughly planned how to pave the gravel road in her mind, and just now she had an idea to widen the eaves and build a few pillars to make the eaves at least two meters wide.At this time, except for rich people who can build long corridors, the eaves of common people's homes are only a little bit.As long as it rains, step out of the house for half a step, and if there is no shelter, the clothes, hair, and shoes will all get wet.

But this is not like modern times. The eaves and corridors can be covered with stone slabs. As long as there is cement and sand, the roofs of the houses and corridors can be firmly glued, and no water will soak in.

If their house goes out next to the eaves and a two-meter-wide walkway, is there a way to make the joints so that no water can enter?

After thinking about it, Wanwan decided to ask Baishou. When she turned to the backyard, she saw Li Dashi and Li Dazhi helping Baishou build the wall. Dazhi Niang didn't respond?

Turning around, he went out of the courtyard and went to Yuan Bao's house. After waiting for a while, Li Zhutou drove the ox cart back from the market. He asked him to help him buy some meat and vegetables, and gave the money to Li Zhutou. He thanked him, and then brought all the things in.

Since there are two more people to help, there must be two more people for lunch!I told Yuan Baoniang about this, and there was no variety in the dishes, so I could only increase the portion size of each dish. Later, Yuan Baoniang sighed: "It would be great if there were bamboo shoots, we can make fried pork with bamboo shoots."

Only then did Wanwan realize that she was so busy this year that she forgot about the bamboo shoots.I wonder if I have to go up the mountain tomorrow to have a look, dig some bamboo shoots and come back to prepare the vegetables.

The two were busy preparing lunch, Yuan Baoniang helped carry the dishes to the main room, Wanwan untied the cloth, walked to the end of the village, stood on the side of the road and said to Baishou who was working: "Baishou, Baishou , the meal is ready, tell everyone to put down their things and go eat!"

"Okay!" Baishou responded loudly, seeing Wan Wan turned around and went back to Yuan Bao's house.Greeting everyone to rest, it's time to eat.

Everyone left their work and went to the yard to wash off the mud on their hands with the dirty water in the big basin, and walked towards Yuan Bao's house in twos and threes.

When Wanwan was shouting Baisong on the side of the road, Dazhi Niang happened to be throwing something outside the house, and she heard Wanwan's voice with her sharp ears, and saw everyone walking out one after another. She wiped her hands and walked over to Li Dazhi and the two place.

When Baishou finished washing his hands and turned around, he saw Da Zhiniang calling them to go home for dinner.

He smiled, looked at Li Dazhi and said, "Brothers, it's time to have dinner at noon. Our house is far away, so it's inconvenient, so if you don't mind the meal that Brother Yang borrowed from the stove, you can eat it together." Bar."

Li Dashi didn't think so much. Seeing that other people had gone, Baishou also sincerely invited them, so he walked towards the front yard. Nothing to do, we will help Baishou brothers finish their work with everyone in the afternoon, so you can go back first."

Da Zhiniang saw that her son didn't seem to be joking at all, and Baishou invited the two of them again, and everyone went, so she didn't insist on letting them go back.She didn't know what was wrong with her, anyway, she didn't like her son to have too much contact with Baishou and his wife.
