The Ugly Ger's Farming Story

Li Changfeng's eyes lit up, this thing is good!Xu Qing and the children will not be afraid of the cold in winter!

"OK, let's do it!"

Just do what you say, in order to build the house before the autumn harvest, Li Changfeng directly explained the reason to Uncle Xie, and then followed Uncle Xie to find some honest and capable men. Xu Qing and Li Changfeng discussed it. Lunch is very reasonable.

As for the cooking, Xu Qing didn't do it, but asked Xie Ahmo and Wei Ahmo to cook lunch, fifteen cash a day, and the family's pigs and chickens built a temporary and strong shed next to the house. As for Xu Qing and Li Changfeng, they were dragged into their house by Xie Amo because the pregnant husband needed a quiet environment. Xu Qing lived in Brother Xie's room, and Li Changfeng lived in another empty room.

Although Li Changfeng didn't want to sleep in a separate room with Xu Qing, but now he had no other choice but to watch Xu Qing enter the room alone every night.

And on the second day when Xu Qing and the others were preparing to build a house, Boss Li came to Xu's house with a load of things on his back, "Ah, I asked me to bring it here. Second brother, you have to take care of yourself when you are healthy. The two elders are looking forward to it, if it weren’t for the fact that the family couldn’t leave, they wouldn’t have let me come, and the second child can live a good life!” Li Changfeng nodded with a smile, thanked Xu Qing, and kept the eldest brother to eat After a meal, let him leave.

Xu Qing looked at the grain on his back and sighed, "Ah, it's okay if my father can do this." Li Changfeng stepped forward and hugged Xu Qing gently.

Almost everyone in the village knew about such a big movement in Houshan repairing a house, and there were more words in their mouths. The reason why Xu Qing was able to repair the house so quickly was because Li Changfeng did woodwork and robbed his family's business, or else in a few years, there would be no money left to build a big tile house!

So he went to this house to have a chat these few days when he had nothing to do, and said to Xu Qing and the others that repairing the house was a bad thing, a bad thing, and all kinds of bad things came. After a few words of gossip, some words even reached the ears of Xu Qing and Li Changfeng, but they were too busy, so they didn't care too much. Slowly, the people who joined the fun didn't respond, so they faded away.

The most feared thing about building a house in summer is someone’s heat stroke, so what Xu Qing does every day is to cook mung bean soup with Xie Ahmo and the others in the morning, put it aside to cool, and give it to everyone when they rest for a while. Sweaty men sent them here. This cool and sweet mung bean soup was very popular. Within a few days, the bought mung beans were gone. Just as I was about to get someone to bring them, Uncle Xie suddenly said: " Let me see, your family can buy a donkey cart!"

Li Changfeng was taken aback for a moment, then slapped his head!is not it!Now that Xu Qing is pregnant again, he is busy with his new house every day. Shopping for vegetables and things in this house is a bother to others. It is better to buy a donkey cart, even in the autumn harvest.

So after Li Changfeng discussed with Xu Qing, Li Changfeng went out early in the morning the next day, and Li Changfeng came back in a donkey cart while having breakfast. It took five taels of silver to go through all the relevant procedures and buy it back.

Xu Qing asked Li Changfeng to wash his hands and eat, and looked at the donkey himself, and saw that it was in good spirits and looked dull, so he named it "Daddy." The sun was not too small outside, so Xu Qing borrowed When I went to pour water for it to drink, I added some spiritual springs to it.

He leaned over to smell the water in a daze, his whole body was a little excited, but he didn't go to drink the water directly, but rubbed his head lightly on Xu Qing's body before sinking his head to drink the water , Xu Qing froze for a moment, then smiled and patted his dazed head.

Seeing this scene, Xie Amo smiled and said, "I can't see that you are quite attractive to it." Xu Qing patted Dumb's head, it didn't like him at all, it clearly liked the breath brought by Lingquan with benefits.

There were a lot of people, and Xu Qing and the others had meat for their lunchtime reception. Even the unfinished dishes were distributed to the men with heavy burdens at home to take home to eat, and the others knew the situation of the other party, and they were kind and heartless Uncomfortable, there is food here, and occasionally meat and wine, and everyone is full of energy. In just over a month, the house was built.

There are four big green tile houses in total, the main room is in the middle, a bedroom is on the left side of the main room, which is prepared for the children, and there are two rooms connected to the right side, the outer one is the bedroom of Xu Qing and Li Changfeng, and the inner one is the bedroom of Xu Qing and Li Changfeng. Warehouse, there is a compartment in the warehouse, one side is filled with grain, and a cellar is dug under this side to store other things in the future, and the other side of the compartment is to be used as a desk for when the children grow up and study. Four large tile-roofed houses facing the gate.

The kitchen was built next to the well, and behind the kitchen there is a small path. A few steps away, there are pig pens, chicken pens, and donkey pens. The aisle is connected with the kitchen and the place where the livestock live with bamboo. With the dense thatch, even if it rains, it will not affect the feeding of the piglets at all.

And from the opposite side of the dining table in the kitchen, a door was opened, and there was a compartment divided into two parts when entering. The front was for storing sundries or rice to eat, and the back was also a shower room, while the kitchen and The bathing room is connected to the children's room, and next to the large storeroom is a firewood room, which is very large and can be used for firewood and wood for wooden dolls.

A small field was built in the backyard for growing small vegetables in the future, and the pepper tree was also moved to the side. A pear tree and a jujube tree were planted behind the firewood house, and a stone table was placed next to the corner. Small stones were placed in the passage from the entrance to the main room and the kitchen, and they were pressed into the ground. They were non-slip and beautiful. Xu Qing and Li Changfeng waited for a few days, and after the moisture in the house was dried, they burned a fire in each room. After planting weeds to deodorize, Li Changfeng's newly made furniture was moved into the room piece by piece.

Xu Qing looked at the brand-new home and touched his belly that had changed a little. He was very satisfied. He didn't let other people participate in making the kang, but Li Changfeng and Uncle Xie finished their work. Except for the kang, Xu Qing was still working The main room has a fireplace.

After Uncle Xie heard what Xu Qing said about the benefits of the heated kang and the fireplace, he dragged Li Changfeng to build a heated kang at Xie's house without further ado. As for the fireplace, they didn't make it.

In the evening, Xu Qing cooks himself, and made a dish of stir-fried kidney, twice-cooked pork, egg custard, and big bone soup. This is the first meal for the two of them to move into their new home. If there is no banquet, set off firecrackers at the gate of the courtyard, which means moving into a new home, which is auspicious and stable. If there is a banquet, do not set off firecrackers, and others will come to the banquet on the third day.

After the discussion between the two, Xu Qing and the others decided not to hold banquets, because they are repairing houses and holding banquets, so they are easy to show off, and besides, holding banquets is not fun, if there are too many brats, the yard must be messed with Mostly, maybe how long it will take to tidy up afterwards.

So when the people in the village heard the sound of firecrackers from the back mountain, Ama Zeng dressed up and went out in a hurry, "How is it? Let me say that this person spent all his money in one go, and he couldn't even handle the banquet. Aunt Zeng was very proud, they were the ones who repaired the house and offered banquets back then, they really earned a lot of face in front of the villagers.

A skinny Ah Mo pouted, "If you want me to say that such a beautiful house is finished, you should save some money, otherwise it will not be enough for future expenses!" The two insisted on repairing such a big house, but it was because they had nowhere to spend their money!

Ama Zeng didn't care what others thought, anyway, he felt extremely at ease now, even if he saw Xu Qing and Li Changfeng again, he would no longer feel depressed, and after Xu Qing and the others finished eating, they began to settle accounts.

"We spent a total of 15 taels of silver on repairing the house and workers' wages. We spent a total of three taels on grocery shopping, new quilts, new bed covers, new pillows, and our new clothes. We spent a total of five taels of silver. , It costs five taels of silver to buy a donkey cart, so we spent a total of 28 taels of silver.” Xu Qing calculated the money used this month, “We have a total of 160 five taels of silver, and after spending 28 taels, we still have 130 taels of silver. Two denarii."

Looking at it this way, they are still very rich!Xu Qing was very satisfied, "Now we also have a car and a house." Li Changfeng was a little confused, "What is a car and a house?" Xu Qing stretched out his hand and touched Li Changfeng's chin teasingly, "It means that we have a house to live in. , with a donkey carriage!"

Li Changfeng allowed Xu Qing to act mischievously on his face, and when he heard this, he nodded as if taught, "You still forgot one thing."

"What?" No matter how much Xu Qing thought about it, he didn't know what he had forgotten.

Li Changfeng looked at Xu Qing's stomach tenderly, "You forgot, we still have children." Xu Qing touched his nose, but he really forgot that his body has completely healed in the past month or so, and eating is eating Everything feels fragrant, and there is no discomfort at the beginning.

"Let's go back to Li's old yard tomorrow." Xu Qing thought that during their house repairs, Li's old yard had sent things over several times, and they never went home to thank them. I went back for a while, otherwise I would feel sorry for it.

Li Changfeng cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, "Listen to you." Anyway, he can do whatever Xu Qing says. He frowned slightly at what he said, the peaceful days in this old courtyard are coming to an end soon.

The next day, after Xu Qing and Li Changfeng had breakfast, they drove in a daze, packed their presents, and headed to Jixiang Village.On the way, they happened to meet Uncle Li, who greeted them, and after a brief chat, they went on to the old courtyard of the Li family.

Brother Li was choosing dishes one by one, when he heard a knock on the courtyard door, he frowned, afraid that another matchmaker would come to his door, these days, the most frequent visit to their house is the terrible matchmaker !
