Huang asked in surprise: "Pianheng, why don't I know about this? Where did you hear it? Guozi's mother, I invited you to live here, I really didn't mean to take advantage of you."

After hearing this, Aunt Guo hurriedly said: "Mother Pianheng, didn't you tell me about this at the beginning? You didn't lie to me at all when you said there were wolves and snakes in this area."

Huang: "..."

That's what she really said at the time, but it was just a guess. Think about it, this place is so remote, there are definitely wild animals. There was only one room left at that time, so she rented it right away. In order to help Aunt Guo asked them to live together with her to repay Mother Guo's previous kindness, on the grounds that she wanted them to live together to strengthen her courage. Now she heard her daughter say that there are actually wolves here. Now it's hard to explain. Guozi Mother doesn’t think she’s using them to fend off wolves for her, right?

Seeing the apology on Mr. Huang's face, Aunt Guo didn't want to lose such a good neighbor because of some misunderstanding, so she made up her mind: "Hey, look at what you said, since there are wolves in the back mountain, so what? The wolves will run around, but they won't be there." Stay in one place and just come to our house. Let me tell you, there are wolves in the back mountains. As long as you live in Xiufeng Village, you will not be safe anywhere. I will build a house next to your house, Pian Hey, you don’t have to persuade Auntie anymore. Auntie will go to the clan leader tomorrow and ask the clan leader to accompany me to buy the land next to your house, and we can still be neighbors."

Hearing what Aunt Guo said, Mrs. Huang was very moved. What happened to outsiders? The outsider is much better than the sister-in-law. She has complete trust in her and does not treat her as an outsider at all. She immediately made a decision and said: "Okay, I will buy land with you tomorrow, and I will buy our house." , and a few acres of surrounding land for growing vegetables.”

"Okay." Aunt Guo looked excited, as long as there was no misunderstanding.

With tears shining in Guozi's eyes, she looked at this and that, and finally focused on Pianheng.

Pian He:? ? ?

After pressing the door, before going to bed, Pianheng handed four locks to Huang and told her that if she went out, she would lock all the doors at home and take the dog out. I told her about the pond.

Mrs. Huang held the lock, nodded, and agreed to both things. Now that her family was rich, it was not impossible to hire someone to open up wasteland. She didn't want her son and daughter to follow her and work day and night in the fields. That was Fifty acres of wasteland, not one or two acres.

My daughter said that there are wolves in the mountains, so no matter where she goes from now on, she must take her dog with her and lock the door, so that she can hide her money at home and go out safely.

Mr. Huang and Aunt Guo both have the temperament to do whatever they say, and they should never leave things unattended. The next morning, after breakfast, they said they were going to buy land. Pian He took the opportunity to mention it to Mr. Huang. Change Ergou's name. The name Ergou was too unpleasant. Huang felt that Ergou had grown up and his son would definitely not starve to death if he had money, so he nodded and agreed.

After Mrs. Huang and Aunt Guo left, Pianheng took the basin out of the room, poured out the water on the upper layer, exposing the wet starch on the bottom of the basin, and dried it in the sun. Then he went to the kitchen, took out the soaked peas, and started Grind the peas.

Ergou, Shuanzi and Yuanzi chased the puppy all over the yard. Pian Huan understood clearly that since she got the dog, the two dogs no longer cling to her, and they walked all over the yard.

After Guo Zi washed his clothes, he came over to help Pian He grind peas. He couldn't rest for a moment.

"Pian He, are you making pea yellow?"

Pian He shook his head: "No, but it's just delicious. You must try it when the time comes."

"Okay."

The two grinded all the soaked peas, filtered them, took out part of the wet pea starch and used it to make cold skin. The rest was washed with water and allowed to settle naturally overnight.

Mr. Huang and Aunt Guo hadn't come back yet, and Mingde didn't come over to reply. Pianhuan made Liangpi with her thoughts in mind, and everyone ate Liangpi at noon.

Guo Zi burned the fire and Pian He made cold skin. When he saw that the thin layer of paste steamed over water turned into a whole piece of transparent skin, Guo Zi couldn't help but sigh: "Pian He, your hands are so skillful!"

Pian He smiled at her, took out the cold skin from the pot, unfolded it, let it cool and cut it into finger-wide vermicelli, then chopped the onions and garlic, and took out the sauce and vinegar.

Seven bowls of cold skin were brought out of the kitchen, and Mrs. Huang and Aunt Guo walked into the house with smiles on their faces.

"Oh, it's finally done. Ergou, no Huaiye, we have a family. Where is your sister?" Mrs. Huang called to Ergou in the yard with an excited expression. Due to the excitement on her aunt's face, Not to mention more concessions.

The two dogs looked left and right, but saw no outsiders here. Then they looked up at the sky. Who is Huaiye?

Hearing the sound, Pian He walked out of the main room.

When Mrs. Huang saw her daughter, she became even more excited. She put her son aside and kept talking as soon as she opened her mouth: "Pianheng, we have decided to invite people to open up wasteland. Mingde's father and his father have both agreed. I paid them wages in advance, and lent them the family’s cattle and tools.”

"The thing is like this, I met Mingde's father at the village chief Du's house. His father also wanted to buy a land and build a mud house. He went to ask the village chief Du about the price of the land, and saw that Guozi Niang and I wanted to buy it. When we got down here, he said he promised to open up wasteland for my family, and he also said he would build a house next to my house, Pianheng, and we now have two neighbors."

After saying that, Mr. Huang laughed happily. This was the first time that Pianheng saw Ms. Huang smile so heartily.

"Oh, mother, is this house expensive?" Pian Huan asked hurriedly, not wanting to spoil her interest.

Mrs. Huang waved her hand and smiled again: "It's cheap. When Village Chief Du heard that I wanted to buy this place, he didn't even raise a price with me. He just said that he would sell it to me for as much as I was willing to pay. So I gave Village Chief Du two taels of silver, and then used another four taels of silver to buy the four acres of wasteland behind the house, and your Aunt Guo spent five taels of silver to buy the five acres of land to the left of our house."

Aunt Guo took out a silver dime and wanted to give it to Mr. Huang: "Well, Pianheng, after the land is opened, we can build a house. Auntie will live here for a while. This is the food expense I will pay."

"I've told you so many times, no need. You wash clothes, cook, grow vegetables, and clean the house. I haven't paid you wages yet, so it's just enough." Ms. Huang jumped a step away, rushed into the main room, and saw the things on the table. Liangpi, his face full of questions.

"Pian He, what is this?"

Ergou followed him into the main room and shouted loudly: "Mom, sister said we eat cold skin at noon, so it must be cold skin. Mom, who is Huai Ye?"

"It's you. Mom has changed your name. From now on, you will be Hu Huaiye, and Hu Huaiye will be you. This name sounds nice, isn't it? Hu Hubai named it for you. Scholars are literate, and they can choose such nice names. Mom also gave it to me You go study."

Hearing that he was going to study, Ergou, no, Hu Huaiye, only grasped the key point of Huang's words, and wanted to look up at the sky. When he looked up, he found that he was in the house, so he could only turn his head to look at Liangpi.

"Sister, mother and aunt are back, can you start eating cold skin?"

Mrs. Huang waved her hand again and said boldly: "Let's eat."
