No matter if you are a human or an immortal, you can still farm for me after traveling through time!
Chapter 73 Decorating a new house! Guidance before the exam!
Before dawn the next day, Li Yu came to Li Silang's house early. He was so excited that he stayed up all night last night and got up immediately when he heard the cock crow in the village.
It takes three to four hours to get to the county from here. The donkey carts in the village always leave before dawn. People who want to go to the county walk to the village in the dark and wait.
This time, Aunt Li and Aniang Li also went together. Firstly, they wanted to help Ji Qingyue build a wall and buy things. Secondly, Auntie Li hadn't seen Sanlang for a long time and planned to drop by for a visit. After all, in less than a month, Saburo will take the county examination, and everyone who says he's not nervous is lying.
They planned to stay at Ji Qingyue's house for a night or two. After visiting Li Sanlang, they would not have to rush home and would have plenty of time to help Ji Qingyue tidy up the house.
When Ji Qingyue said that he wanted to change the structure of the house, Aunt Li also had a plan. He knew where to find reliable masons.
Li Yu went out with Li Silang and the others. When he got on the donkey cart, he still had an unreal feeling. Uneasy, he quietly looked at the bamboo tube on Li Erlang's chest.
He didn't see Ji Qingyue when he went out, and he was still a little confused. Then he was hit on the head by Li Silang, "Don't mention brother Ji easily outside, and don't think about it."
Li Yu held his head. He was obviously older than Shiro, and it didn't matter that Shiro was stronger than him, but he still hit him on the head regardless of age and classmate friendship! This can't be tolerated!
So Li Yu rarely had a quarrel with Li Silang.
He is really happy.
The weather was cool, and the donkey cart swayed and trotted forward.
We had a lively chat with the villagers going to the county on the cart. When asked what Li Aniang was doing in the county, Li Aniang also happily replied: "Going to see San Lang. He hasn't been home for a long time. He hasn't seen him in a year." , Now that I am free, I want to send him something."
The others quietly glanced at Li Yu, who was sitting at the front of the car with Shiro, and asked softly: "Then how will you take him?"
Aunt Li raised her eyebrows without lowering her voice: "You have to ask Shiro about this!"
After hearing this, Li Silang said: "Auntie, what do you ask me?"
"A few aunts asked, how did you come out with Yu Lang?"
"Oh, this!" Li Silang suddenly understood and replied loudly: "There is no farm work at home today, so I asked him to accompany me to the county to play. We haven't gone to the county to play in a long time."
Aunt Li nodded her youngest son's head: "I came to see your third brother, don't always think about playing!"
Several people laughed and joked: "Since you went to the village school, you and Yu Lang have become best friends!"
Li Silang looked proud and almost put his hands on his hips: "That's not true! We have experienced banditry together, so we can be considered friends of life and death!!"
"Hahaha……"
Ji Qing doesn't have to get up early and rush on the road, and there is someone on his back. He only needs to follow his own schedule, get up and wash up, feed chickens, ducks, fish, sheep, water vegetables and prepare to cut wheat.
Because of the time difference he deliberately created, when the wheat matures, the previous batch of harvested rice has already been dried and stored, so there will be no situation where the wheat has no place to dry after it is harvested.
Ji Qingyue had already gone out to see Li Yu last night, and Ji Qingyue couldn't go out anymore today, but he had already discussed with Li Aniang the things he wanted to buy, and the money was in Li Erlang's hands, so Li Aniang naturally didn't care whether he came out or not.
Before noon, the donkey cart finally arrived at the county. After paying and getting off, they hurried up the mountain to find Li Sanlang.
Aunt Li has not seen Li Sanlang for more than half a year, and Aunt Li has not seen his third son for almost a year.
When several people saw Li Sanlang, they were frightened by his emaciated appearance. Li Aniang couldn't help but feel distressed. Erlang had been busy with spring plowing for three months and was so exhausted that he had never lost weight so much. Why was Sanlang so thin that his face was pointed? ?
"Sanlang, are you sick?" Several people stood nervously around Li Sanlang in front of the academy door.
When Li Sanlang saw so many family members coming to see him, his eyes lit up at first, and then dimmed again when his mother asked him, and he smiled wryly: "Mom, I was never sick, I was just busy reading and forgot Just to eat."
Aunt Li felt distressed and anxious, stamping her feet: "How can I not eat? No matter how hard I work, I can't not eat..."
Father Li and Li Erlang both saw it. It wasn't that he didn't want to eat, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to eat.
Father Li persuaded Saburo in a gentle voice: "We are not in a hurry to go back today. Maybe you and the mountain chief will take half a day off? We will take you back to the academy together tomorrow morning."
Although Li Sanlang was puzzled, he still followed his father's instructions and went to the mountain chief and his master to ask for leave.
When going down the mountain, there was one more person in the team. The three brothers and Li Yu were walking behind. Only then did Li Sanlang know that Ji Qingyue had already completed the household registration and bought a house in the county.
When they arrived at the county, Aunt Li and Aunt Li went their separate ways to find people or buy things.
Dad Li asked a mason to buy a batch of blue bricks, took them to the alley in the afternoon, paid extra money and rushed them. Within two days, he replaced the wooden walls with brick walls and built a new stove in the yard.
Aniang Li went to the cloth shop to buy cloth, and then went back to make new bedding for Ji Qingyue and a few children, as well as some small daily necessities, including pots and pans.
Li Erlang led several younger brothers to another alley to find Li Daquan. This time they were not going to get a share of the money, but to buy a batch of furniture.
Li Daquan saw Li Erlang coming to the store with a group of people, especially Li Sanlang, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. He was surprised and asked politely: "Why are Erlang and Sanlang here?"
Li Erlang is used to getting straight to the point: "I want to buy a canopy bed. It doesn't need to be too good. It's fine if you have an old one or a ready-made one."
Of course, the store's warehouse has the goods, and they are all disassembled. When you need to use them, you can just come to install them. Then, you can nail the mortise and tenon parts to the connecting parts of the wooden parts to build them up. "Yes, how big does Erlang want it to be?"
"My good friend, the one Uncle Quan met last time, has now bought a shop room in a nearby alley. He asked me to buy a bed. Since he did not plan to do business, he changed the shop room into a A room with a bed inside." Li Erlang explained carefully: "The shop room is the same as Uncle Quan's room without the wall. Do you think how big a bed can be put in?"
Li Daquan thought about the size and quickly helped him order a bed that was not too big.
Li Erlang was used to sleeping on the kang. A kang could sleep five or six people at the same time without any problem. Moreover, the area of the family homestead was also very large, and every day when he went out of the house, he faced endless fields.
Li Erlang, who was accustomed to spaciousness, suddenly came to Ji Qingyue's narrow house. While feeling restrained, he even had the illusion that Ji Qingyue's room was not as big as his Kang.
Finally, with Li Daquan's guarantee, they ordered a canopy bed made of ordinary wood. After paying the deposit and writing the address to Li Daquan, they returned to Ji Qingyue's house with a group of people.
Facing Ji Qingyue's new home, everyone's first impression was surprisingly the same: small, really small.
Li Silang and Li Yu figured out the layout of the entire house as soon as they walked in.
Everyone comforted themselves in their hearts: This is in the county, and every inch of land is precious.
After recognizing the place, they still have a lot of work to do.
Li Erlang asked Ji Qingyue to bring out a bucket, fetch water for the two children, and learn about the surrounding environment.
And he wanted to remove the stove in the kitchen. The stove had not been used for a while, and the countertop and main body had cracked or even collapsed. Ji Qingyue said that he wanted to change this place into a "bathroom" and "toilet" ", so this stove must be dismantled.
Ji Qingyue handed over the hammer, shovel and spade. The two brothers, one wielding the hammer and the other carrying earth, quickly dismantled the stove. The still-usable mud bricks were piled in the corner of the yard to watch the masons build a new stove. Whether it can be used at any time.
Li Silang and Li Yu worked together to carry the bucket back and clean the room inside.
Dad Li has already hired masons, and they are working together to tear down the wooden wall outside.
When the neighbors saw such a big commotion here, they all came to inquire. Aunt Li and Aunt Li were used to dealing with this kind of situation. Renovating the house was not a big deal. It was just that they didn't want to open a shop, so they just built a brick wall and opened a door.
The painting has been hung in the clean room. Li Erlang closed the door, intercepted the movement outside the yard, and worked with others.
Ji Qingyue not only had to seal up the wall facing the street, but also opened a window in the wall between the atrium and the shop, and then built another wall in the shop, leaving a corridor as wide as the door, leading directly to the atrium. There will also be a door in this wall. When Li Daquan transports the new doors and windows and installs them, the house will have a new layout of two bedrooms, one courtyard and one bathroom.
After paying the deposit, the mason and his two apprentices went all out. Under the supervision of Uncle Li, they quickly dismantled the wooden wall and built a new wall according to Uncle Li's wishes.
There was only one wall, five or six meters wide and three or four meters high, leaving the door open. The master and apprentice were completely busy, and the remaining apprentice went to the yard to build the stove.
In just one afternoon, the new exterior wall was built, the old door was retained, the door frame was embedded in the new wall, and continued to play its role, while the new wall between the shops had to wait until tomorrow.
They also have to smash the wall to make new windows, but they have to wait until tomorrow. After the outer wall has dried a bit and can hold up the eaves firmly, they can safely chip away at the wall.
The new stove has been built, a double-burner stove, one for boiling water and the other for cooking. Under the supervision of Li Erlang, the mason's apprentice wiped the brick joints clean and neatly.
It was already getting dark, and the new stove was not yet in use. Dad Li hurried to the nearby shop to buy some biscuits. When the neighbors saw that they had finished their work, they brought a bowl of cold meat for them to eat with the biscuits. Dad Li thanked the neighbor, closed the door, and returned to the back room to prepare for dinner.
The neighbors who didn't know what was going on thought they could only eat pancakes, but little did they know that they didn't have to worry about food at all. Ji Qingyue had already prepared it.
While they were busy working, Ji Qingyue was already preparing dinner.
He was well aware of everyone's appetite, so he made a whole pot of rice, and the rice was just grinded out and made the rice so full! Li Aniang and the others rarely had rice. They had always eaten rice porridge or porridge cooked with millet mixed with wheat beans. When they saw the white rice at first glance, they were so surprised that they were speechless.
Ji Qingyue's best dish is boiled fish. He fished a big grass carp from the creek with a kitchen knife, boiled the fish bones into soup, boiled the fish head with Sichuan peppercorns, cut the fish body and tail into slices and stuffed them with pickled vegetables. At the risk of the clay pot cracking, I fried braised eggplant and a side of freshly picked stir-fried vegetables.
Unexpectedly, they ate the entire can of rice, even the stuffy rice crust at the bottom of the can, soaked in pickled cabbage soup and eaten.
I originally thought of using rice crackers to replenish the chicken and duck.
Everyone felt refreshed after this meal. Even Li Sanlang changed his slump and ate three bowls of rice in a row. The food cooked by Brother Ji was really too good for the meal. Several of them could not stand up after eating. .
Li Erlang touched his swollen belly: "Yue Lang, could this rice be grown on dry land?"
Ji Qingyue was eating with them on the bridge. He thought for a moment: "Yes, yes, yes. I know that there is a kind of rice that is more drought-resistant, but I haven't figured out the details yet. I will give you a batch of seeds when I find out later." , you can also grow one yourself!”
Li Erlang agreed. Rice was really delicious. If he could grow it himself, he could eat rice often.
Li Silang nodded stupidly, as long as the second brother planted it, he could also eat it.
Today they bought a lot of daily necessities. Some of the things they wanted to take home were given to Ji Qingyue to put in the painting, and the other things were placed in the room.
Everyone was tired after a day's work and looked disgraced. Ji Qingyue boiled a lot of water for them and asked them to scrub a little and relax.
The two younger ones could wash in the yard. Aniang Li was a female dependent and she wanted to change and wash in the room, so Li Erlang led the others out with the painting in his arms and stayed in the shop in front.
There were no windows in the shop, only a door leading to the yard, and the moonlight poured in through this entrance and exit.
Two children squatted in the corner, muttering.
Li Erlang squeezed Sanlang's wrist and felt that he was so thin that he felt like bones, and then sighed: "Sanlang, are you nervous about the county exam? You are so nervous that you can't eat."
In the darkness, Li Sanlang lowered his head and stood side by side with his second brother. Father Li also stood beside him and gently touched his shoulder: "Sanlang, don't be anxious. Don't all the masters praise you for your excellent work on the questions? "
"But... Dad... I'm just nervous. I'm so nervous that I can't sleep or even eat..." Li Sanlang felt a little ashamed when he thought about the three bowls of rice he had eaten tonight. "I'm just worried that I won't pass the exam..."
Ji Qingyue's voice came from the painting: "Since masters say that Sanlang is good at answering questions, it means that your foundation is very good. The key is how to adjust your mentality before the exam."
After hearing this, Li Erlang asked: "What can Yue Lang do?"
As a person who has experienced this, Ji Qingyue has some experience of Li Sanlang's nervousness. Everyone will feel nervous before the exam. The degree of nervousness varies from person to person. There have also been cases where academic masters and top students were so nervous that they vomited and had diarrhea. Smooth exam situation.
"My suggestion is, from now on, once the sun goes down, don't touch the book anymore, because you should remember everything that needs to be memorized. The more you read, the less confident you will be. In the past, you would get up early to do exercises at home. Uh... Even boxing, you should exercise now, pay more attention to your body, and exercise more. Also, if you have something on your mind that you are embarrassed to tell your elders, just tell your second brother, he has been worried about you. Finally, wake up every day And when you go to bed, say something like 'I am the best' to yourself and give yourself more hints." Ji Qingyue told Li Sanlang everything he could think of. He very much hoped that this young boy could pass the exam smoothly. After all, he was not Without strength, it would be a pity if it was really affected by mentality.
It would be great if Li Sanlang could listen and adjust his mentality.
Li Sanlang said softly: "Thank you very much, Brother Ji."
