The two exchanged a tender, long kiss.

When Li Shi let go of him, Luo Hua's cheeks were flushed and his eyes were misty.This provoked Li Shi to peck and kiss him several times on the lips again and again, intending to do it again.

Luo Hua pushed him away, his eyes dodged: "Don't make trouble, the house has not been finalized yet." He half-pushed and kissed, and he didn't dare to look directly at the man across from him.

Only then did Li Shi reluctantly let him go—however, his daughter-in-law's attitude finally softened.

It seems that the day of swallowing it into the stomach is not far away!

Luo Hua couldn't hear the whims in his heart, so he pulled the rice paper on the table and knocked on the table: "There are still a few questions, let's see how to arrange them."

"My daughter-in-law just arrange it, and I'll listen to you!" Li Shi poured out a glass of water and handed it to him like a dog. "And there's no rush. Didn't we hire an experienced teacher? Even if you don't understand, he can give you advice tomorrow."

"That's right. But it doesn't matter if we think about it first." Luo Hua was indeed thirsty, thanked him and took the cup, took a sip with his head down, and wanted to put the cup far away so as not to accidentally wet the rice paper.

Li Shi took his cup and helped him put it away.

"..." Luo Hua was speechless, "Brother Shitou, don't you think that you have... have a lot of mothers-in-law lately? What about your ruthlessness in the past?"

Li Shi was surprised: "Where am I ruthless?"

"You used to be like this," Luo Hua put his hands on his brows and raised it up, as if you would die if you messed with me, "You have a vicious look, and you don't even smile."

"...I'm not just kidding, what's so funny about me to others." Li Shi was speechless, "But, am I so scary?"

Luo Hua nodded: "Yes, Uncle Li's youngest son was scared to tears by you."

Li Shi approached him: "Then why are you not afraid of me at all?" He had wanted to ask this question a long time ago.

Luo Hua pressed his forehead and pushed him back: "Why are you afraid of you?"

Well, my daughter-in-law always sees things differently from others.

"Okay, let's get back to the topic." Luo Hua pointed to the blueprint, "Will the craftsmen here know how to build such a warm wall even if it is connected to the stove of the water heating room?"

"Don't worry, after you said it, I asked Uncle Feng to find us a master who can do it."

Luo Hua looked up in surprise, "Uncle Feng is still in Changfu County?"

"Now that we're back, Qin Zheng also ran to Gaozhou Mansion to play." Li Shi paused, "He will come back in a few days, and then I will go into the mountains with him."

Doesn't he often go into the mountains?Although he always said that he was just walking around the periphery.But who would believe it.

Just like the wild deer a few days ago, how could any wild deer circle around?

Why do you have to tell him now?

He was worried, and quickly asked: "What are you going to do? But is it dangerous?"

Li Shi nodded his nose: "It's not dangerous, just find wood to make beams."

Luo Hua coughed lightly to avoid his gaze: "Aren't you Uncle Tuo Feng to buy wood? Why do you still want to go?"

A smile appeared on Li Shi's lips, and he stopped teasing him: "Because I don't know if I can find the hardwood I need on the mountain, I will buy a batch first, so as not to get stuck here and not be able to start construction. This batch of wood will be with the master tomorrow." Come here."

Luo Hua understood it, and then asked: "If the wood is found, how will you two get it back? Don't you need to do anything in the shade to get it back?"

Li Shi didn't answer his previous question, but just looked at him strangely: "Don't you know? Hardwood is generally used in building houses. This kind of wood is not bitten by insects and ants, and it will last for a hundred years. Why would it need to be dried in the shade? If not Most of Changfu County has been cut down, and I don’t need to ask Uncle Feng to buy them. Even if I buy them, I’ll only buy some, and I think I can find them by walking a little further into the mountains.”

So hardwoods are endemic to this side of the world?

Guiltyly avoiding his gaze, Luo Hua coughed twice to change the subject: "Then how many people did our family hire to help?"

Hmph, it's been revealed anyway, not bad.

The daughter-in-law's secret seems not small.But Li Shi didn't intend to expose him: "Twenty, I asked Uncle Li to help arrange them, and all the people we chose were quick-witted and not lazy. Let's get the house done quickly while the farming is slack. Didn't you say that we have to close it in July?" Is there any corn? There are many people and it can be done quickly.”

Luo Hua nodded: "Well, as soon as possible." He hesitated, "How do you calculate the wages? What do you have to do with the meals? Can I cook rice and add two dishes?"

"Didn't I say that I don't prepare meals? There are so many people, how can you do it. I have agreed with Uncle Li that each person will be given an extra five cents a day, not including meals." Li Shi tapped the table lightly, " Thirty Wen a day per person."

Luo Huamo did the calculations, and suddenly gasped in distress: "It costs six yuan a day, almost 20 taels a month! Why don't we cook? We won't be tired for a few days."

Li Shi flatly refused: "Don't think about it. Besides, haven't you counted it? In addition to buying materials such as bricks and tiles, our family has enough money, so there is no need to tire yourself."

"Then why don't you go to the mountains to look for wood to save money." Luo Hua was speechless, then drooped his head in frustration, and knocked his head directly on the table, "Once this house is built, our family will be destitute again."

Li Shi laughed and stretched out his hands to rub his hair: "Why, don't we have a new house? There are also chickens, rabbits, and vegetable fields, and the crops should be harvested by then. It will definitely be better than when we first started .”

That's right.Luo Hua immediately sat up straight, cheered up and said, "Yes, I almost forgot about this. By the way, when will the master who built the house arrive? Where will he live then?"

"The old master is from Changfu County. We have his relatives in our village. He will live there, but he has to eat with us."

Luo Hua nodded: "That's fine." He rubbed his hands, "Tomorrow I have to talk to the master, especially this bathroom! It's about our future winter."

"Aren't you going to sell rice noodles in the county tomorrow?" Li Shi was surprised.

Luo Hua gave him a blank look: "I'm going to build a house tomorrow, so how could I not be here?"

"Who knows you, in order to pave the way for your brother and the others, you don't care if I will starve to death at home." These words had a strong sour taste.

Luo Hua didn't bother to talk to him, and said directly: "My brother and the others are already on the road, and I have made it clear to them today. I don't have to join in the fun anymore." He said, taking out two taels from his waistband Silver, "My brother and they gave me so much silver."

"Why did you suddenly give you money?"

Luo Hua looked proud: "My mother and brother said that I gave the rice noodle recipe, so they insist on giving me the money."

Li Shi was thoughtful, and nodded calmly: "The character is good."

Isn't it enough to pretend to be 'Luo Hua' and treat relatives kindly for 'Luo Hua'?Daughter-in-law, it looks like you really treat these people as your own relatives?

Does the daughter-in-law have no relatives since she was a child?

I don't know what his origin is.

Hearing his words, Luo Hua was even more happy: "Hehehe. Of course!" Otherwise, he would not want to pretend to be the original person to get along with them and plan the future for them.

"It's better if you don't have to go. I haven't eaten a proper breakfast and lunch for many days." Li Shi complained, "You even dismissed me for dinner."

Luo Hua felt guilty immediately: "Okay, I'll have a good meal tonight."

Li Shi stood up happily: "Then I will go to the mountain to see if there is any prey in the trap."

Luo Hua squinted at him: "Lie." Then he waved his hand, "Go, go. Just be careful."

Li Shi chuckled, turned around and strode out the door.

That night, Li Shi brought back a brood of pheasants.

trap?snort!

Luo Hua gave him a blank look before going to make dinner.I tied up a pheasant outside the kitchen and kept it for next time. The rest of Luo Hua stewed and stir-fried it into three big pots, and Li Shi was so satisfied.

Of course, some were evened out and sent to the Luo family.

Li Shi saw it, and felt that his wife's attitude towards the Luo family was wrong.

Early the next morning, the first batch of blue bricks and lime ordered by Li Shi from the neighboring village was delivered.

Then Li Jianzhong led 20 people, including their old acquaintance Li Dong.

Then the old master introduced by Uncle Feng also came with two apprentices, of course, along with the wood for an ox cart.

Today is an auspicious day that was counted early.

Li Shiluohua led everyone to pay a simple visit to the land, and then the two of them dug a shovel of soil together, and the work was officially started.

Li Dong led the crowd to dig ditches and mud.

Luo Hua took out the drawings and communicated with the three masters. Of course, Li Shi was also asked to listen.

The master's surname is Zhao, who is from a neighboring village. He went to Gaozhou Prefecture when he was young.Now it can be regarded as returning to his hometown to take care of his life, and he will settle in Changfu County in the future.

No, just came back and met Luo Hua's list.

As soon as the drawing was taken out, Master Zhao's eyes lit up: "This, this...the drawing is really concise and clear! Is this the meaning of the door?"

Luo Hua took a closer look and nodded.

"Then the painting on the wall means...?"

"This refers to the warm wall. I heard that Master Zhao has made a warm wall. Take a look, is it reasonable for me to arrange the warm wall?"

Master Zhao looked at the drawings carefully, and nodded: "Generally, there is no problem, here, here, should be connected..." He pointed out some details to Luo Hua to correct and explain, and then he rummaged through the drawings, " Where is the hut built?"

Luo Hua: ...

Several people looked at him in unison.

Master Zhao and the others have taken on so many jobs, all of them are human beings.But after chatting for a while, they realized that Luo Hua was in charge of the house—at least in terms of building the house.

So if there is a question at the moment, it is naturally Luo Hua who asked it.

Cough, didn't you look at Uncle Li and look at him?

Li Shi saw that Luo Hua seemed to be having a hard time opening his mouth, so he scratched his head to help him smooth things over: "Isn't it put together with the bathroom?"

Master Zhao shook his head: "To make the warm wall, the bathroom is next to the main room. The main room is next to it. How can we put the hut here?" He asked Luo Hua again, "What does Master Luo have in mind?"

Luo Hua was extremely embarrassed: "Master Zhao, please help me think about it, when I thought about it, I forgot..."

Li Shi: ...

Master Zhao and his apprentices: ...

Li Shi was the first to react, and held back a smile and raised his hand to pat the top of his head: "Why are you so..." So cute!He even forgot such an important hut.

Luo Hua waved his hand away in embarrassment.

Master Zhao coughed lightly, and couldn't help but laugh a little: "Well, I'll let you think about it." He looked down at the layout carefully, and pointed to a corner of the drawing after a while, "Or, let's build it here."

Luo Hua saw that it was in the corner of the yard, far away from the house.

"Is this too far away? Isn't it too cold to walk so far in winter?"

Several people laughed immediately.

Master Zhao joked: "Master Luo is from the north? In our Changfu County, there may not be two snowfalls in a whole winter, so it's not too cold to go out."

Luo Hua hurriedly glanced at Li Shi.The latter returned him a meaningful look.

"Hey, just do as you said." He quickly replied to Master Zhao.

"Hey, let's get busy now." Master Zhao looked at him cautiously, "This blueprint..."

Luo Hua waved his hand: "Take it, the drawing is for you to see."

"Hey." Master Zhao and the three went out happily holding the blueprints.

Li Shi turned around and looked his small body up and down: "Northern? Huh? Did you reveal your secrets again?"

Luo Hua rolled his big eyes, turned around and went into the kitchen.

Li Shi shrugged and went out too.

When these folks are invited to work, they only pay their wages without lunch.But on the first day of groundbreaking, how can we make the workers work hard and make them work harder?

Now that the weather is hot, Luo Hua wants to cook some mung bean soup for everyone, which can not only make them sweet, buy people's hearts, but also relieve the heat.

Kill two birds with one stone.

So Luo Hua bought some mung beans and sugar in addition to buying rice paper yesterday.

He got up early in the morning and boiled a big pot, and it was time to let it cool down.

Going into the kitchen, Luo Hua touched the big clay pot.

Well, it's time to drink.

Luo Hua took down the big bamboo basket in the corner, lifted the clay pot and put it into the bamboo basket, then grabbed the handles on both sides of the bamboo basket, and with one force——

"Hey!"

Lift the bamboo basket and clay pot and walk out.

A pot full of mung bean soup, plus the weight of the clay pot, within a few steps, Luo Hua felt that his hands were heavy.

He clenched his teeth and insisted on lifting it and continued to walk a few more steps before putting it down to rest for a while.

All the way to the gate of the courtyard, I rested three times.

Go out of the courtyard and turn a corner.Luo Hua encouraged himself.

Lifting the bamboo basket again, Luo Hua, blushing blushingly, took a few steps and stepped out to make a turn——

"what are you doing!!"

An angry shout.

Luo Hua lightened his hand.

The big bamboo basket was lightly picked up by Li Shi.

"Won't you call me if you want to lift heavy objects? Is this kind of work capable of doing this kind of work?" Li Shiren scolded angrily.

Luo Hua blinked and was about to speak——

"Tsk tsk, boy Li will hurt people..."

"Hehe, these young couples are very affectionate."

"Hahaha, Brother Zhuang, don't make fun of them. Whoever just got married is not so sticky."

"It's really envious of those of us who haven't married yet."

Everyone who was digging a ditch laughed and whistled a few jokes.

Luo Hua blushed immediately, glared at Li Shi angrily, turned around and ran away.

Li Shi put down the bamboo basket and glanced around the crowd expressionlessly.

Everyone hurriedly laughed and turned back to work.

But Li Dong didn't care much, he looked at the bamboo basket: "What is this? Why did Luo Hua bring such a big pot here?"

Li Shi looked at the clay pot and remembered something: "This is the mung bean soup my Xiaohua made for you. On the first day of work, everyone is sweet."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and then cheered.

These days, sugar is a precious thing.Besides, mung beans are not cheap either.

"Good boy, you two are quite serious." Li Dong came over with a smile, lifted the cover and saw that it was true.However, "Where's the bowl? Where's the spoon? Let's pick it up and pour it into our mouths?"

Li Shi coughed lightly: "Wait a minute. My Xiaohua has a thin skin, so I don't think she will come over for the time being. I'll go back and get it."

Everyone laughed again.Suddenly, I feel that Li Shi is not so scary anymore.

Li Shi ignored them and walked back quickly.With a flick of his ear, he went straight to the kitchen.

Luo Hua was stacking bowls into the basket, when he saw him coming in, he glanced at him and looked away, as if nothing had happened—if it wasn't for the red ears that betrayed him.

Seeing him like this, Li Shi, who was still slightly angry, softened in his heart.
