Little wealth

In a few days, the roof of the new house was completed, and even the outer wall was built.

The land they bought was relatively large at the beginning, and the land occupied by the new house was less than half of the whole land, so there was still a lot of open space around.

The newly built fence did not enclose all the land, but only surrounded the house inside. They planned to surround the outside with bamboo, so as to enclose their land and save a lot of bricks money.Everywhere in their house is well-built, and a lot of money has been spent before and after. If they can save some money at this time, it is natural to save some money.

This day when they invited them to dig a well, they came to dig a well at home. The master who dug the well was an experienced well digger. He dug a well in a field on the east side of their yard, and the well was dug at the spring. On the ground, the spring water came out without digging too deep.

The well water from the newly dug well is sweet and delicious, and those who drink it say it is delicious.Even the master who drilled the well said that it was the first time he had drilled the well for so many years, and the water from the well was so good.

Hearing what the well-driller said, Zhao Amu was very happy, and said to the well-driller, "Thank you, master, for picking a place for us and digging such a good well for us."

The well digger waved his hands with a busy smile, "It's the good land here." Feng shui Feng shui doesn't pay much attention to wind and water.Good water comes out of a good land, and the good water here means that the land is good, and the house that lives here will be safe and prosperous in the future.

"With this well, our family doesn't need to fetch water from other places in the future." Zhao Amu drank the water from the newly dug well, and smiled until the crow's feet appeared at the corners of his eyes. What pleased him most was, The water in the well in their house is a bit sweeter than the water in the village's well, so it looks like a good well.

"Yes, it will be much more convenient for our family to use water in the future, and we don't need to go outside to fetch water." What Josh thought was that with this well in the future, Zhao Mutou would not have to get up so early every morning to fetch water. Every time he saw that man coming back from the outside with two big buckets of water and walking back and forth several times, he felt very hard.

Once he tried it himself, and he couldn't handle such two big buckets of water by himself.

One more thing to boast is that since he woke up till now, Zhao Mutou of their family has never asked him to do such rough work as going outside to fetch water and returning home. The heavy work at home is almost all done by that man. .On weekdays, apart from cooking and taking care of the children, and going to the town to set up stalls every few days, that man did a lot of homework.

I don't know if it's been a long time, but he has gradually gotten used to having such a person by his side who does everything well and leaves him the easy and simple ones.From these details of life, he could feel the man's kindness to him and the child, which was a deep and wordless love.He didn't know what love was before, but now he gradually sees from that man what love is, and he also feels what it means to be loved. Those who are loved must be the happiest, just like him now.

On that day, they settled the wages of the master who came to dig the well, and also sealed a small red envelope to the master, which is to thank the master.

"Hehe, thank you, master. The house is safe and everything is going well." The master was naturally very happy to get an extra red envelope, and after saying a few auspicious words to the master, he brought the little apprentice together with the things. gone back.

On the same day, the well in their house was dug, and the last wall of the house was built.The fence built is about half a meter taller than the height of an adult, so even if a thief wants to come to their house to steal things, it is not so easy to climb over the wall and enter.

There was not much work to do in the next half day, and the group of men who came to work helped them clean up the nearby land. Knowing that they were going to use bamboo to build the outer wall, they also helped them cut a lot of bamboo and came back, which was half full. yard.On the last day, they gave everyone the last day's wages, and sealed a big red envelope to the foreman Liu Laoquan, and the rest of the people gave the day's wages.

Liu Laoquan accepted the red envelope with a smile, and thanked him, "If there is any work in the future, call us, we don't know anything else, we have a lot of strength."

"Yeah, what kind of work can we find in the future?"

"Yes, yes, they are all from the same village. You can tell me what you want to do, and you don't have to pay wages." Although everyone received the last day's wages, although they were a little happy in their hearts, they were also a little regretful. You may not be able to meet such a good employer.But there is always a time when the work is finished, and the work is almost in time for the autumn harvest. When the grain is harvested, they can go out to work for a few months before coming back to celebrate the New Year.

Seeing that the Zhao family's life is prosperous now, I heard that their business in the town is doing well, but they have made a lot of money.Taking this opportunity, they wanted to get close to the Zhao family. Maybe they would need people for what the Zhao family would do in the future, so they called them over.

They didn't expect anything else, they just hoped that the Zhao family would have a way to make money and they would be able to take them with them, even if they put in the effort.

"Okay, everyone has worked hard during this time." Zhao He also heard the meaning of these people's words. In fact, after getting along with each other during this time, he also remembered the names of several people in his heart, thinking that if If you want to employ people, you can ask these familiar people to help.

After sending everyone out, he came back to look at their new house with his husband and children.

***

On this day, before the west mountain went down, all the workers went back. After so many people were lost, they also became quiet here.

Their new house faces south, the gate faces south, the main hall is in the middle, the houses live on the east and west sides, and there is a path leading to the two places on the left and right sides.Each side of the house has a main hall and bedrooms, and each side has a master bedroom and two secondary bedrooms with separate bathrooms and huts.There is also a separate bedroom at the back that is reserved for their mother, and there is also a separate bathroom and hut there.

Although the houses on both sides are in the same yard, they are separated by the main hall in the middle, which can be regarded as independent yards on both sides.At that time, they will plant some flowers and plants in the middle to separate them, and an independent space will be formed on both sides, so that when they close the door to sleep at night, they don't have to worry about their voices being heard by the next door.

The kitchen is built on the right-hand side of the entrance, and there is still a distance from the house, so that cooking here in the future will not smoke into the house.

There is also a large piece of land in the front yard, where they can plant flowers and grass, and the outside area is relatively large, where they can grow melons and talents, which is enough for them to grow a lot of things.There is also a house for carpentry in the backyard. The space here is also relatively large, which is reserved for their carpenter Zhao to work. There is also a house with two rooms for storing sundries. objects and piles of wood.

The last side is the chicken coop and the donkey shed, where chickens, ducks and donkeys from the family can be kept here in the future, and there is a back door at the back to facilitate the entry and exit of their donkey carts.

Except that the doors and windows of the house have not yet been installed, the whole house is basically built. The floor of the house is covered with a layer of blue bricks, and the walls of the house are specially built higher, which is comparable to the grass on their side. The house looks much brighter and tidier.

On this day, all the workers have gone back, and only their own family members are left at home, and they can also take a good look at their new house.

"Hehe, our house is built so fast. In two days, we will build a row of wooden frames at the door to grow melons and grapes, and we can grow some vegetables in the yard outside." Standing in front of the yard, looking at A newly built yard made Josh feel a little emotional. Who would have thought that they would save money, buy land and build a house in less than a year.He used to dream of having a home, but now he finally has this home, with family members and children.

Hearing Fu Lang's words, Zhao He hummed, "We will plant if you like." He kept all the things Fu Lang wanted to do in his heart, thinking that he would build the wooden trellis for Fu Lang tomorrow.

But at this moment, Josh did not forget that there is another more important thing, "The well in our house, you'd better make a well cover to cover it tomorrow, and build the well mouth higher."

There is a toddler in their family. It would be very dangerous if the well in the house is not covered with something. If the child does not know how to play somewhere and accidentally falls into it, it is not a joke.It's about the safety of the child, so he will pay more attention to these things.

"Okay, I'll get it in a while." Zhao He thought that there was still some time, so he could go and fix the manhole cover before going back to eat.

"Oh, that's fine. See if you can get a wooden frame at the mouth of the well, with a wooden wheel on it to hold the rope. We only need to turn the wooden wheel to fetch water in the future, and it will save some effort." Josh also said I remember that many of the wellheads I saw in some villages would build a shelf at the entrance, borrowing the pull of the wheels to fetch water, so that the person who fetches water can save energy.

Hearing what Fu Lang said, Zhao He probably had a prototype in his mind, knowing what to do, "Okay, I'll do it right away, you can take the child back to the courtyard over there first."

Josh glanced at his son who was in his arms, and knew that this little boy was at the age of being curious about everything. If he wanted to carry him there, he would inevitably want to run to the mouth of the well. I was a little scared, let alone let the children go there to play.

Thinking that the dinner at home was not ready yet, and he had to go back to prepare dinner for their family, he responded, "Okay, I'll take the kids back first, don't stay here for too long, come back later after dinner alley."

Zhao He, who was behind, looked at the husband and child who had left, and took his younger brother Zhao Hu to get the manhole cover.

Chen Tuhu and Chen Yan hadn't gone back yet, so the father and son stayed here to help out with the work. It was always faster to work with four than with two.

***

At this time, the sun had set to the west, and the sky was full of clouds, with layers of clouds in the sky, like clouds burning on fire.Smoke rose everywhere in the small village, and many families were cooking at home.

"Fuck-"

There was also the sound of cooking in the kitchen of their house, and the smell burst from it.

Put the oil in the hot pan, throw the garlic in and sauté until fragrant, pour in a large bowl of cut pork ears and stir-fry, stir-fry a few times with a shovel, then pour in a large pot of dried radishes and fry together, pour in Add half a teaspoon of water, add an appropriate amount of soy sauce and salt, cover and cook for a few minutes before opening, the soup inside is almost collected.

After lifting the lid and frying for a few times, the vegetables inside were ready, and he used a plate to take out the vegetables inside.

The fish head stew that Ying Chen Yan made in the previous answer is also prepared today.

This morning, their carpenter Zhao went to the pier to buy a large bucket of fish and came back. He cut out all the fish heads, and the rest of the fish bodies were processed and marinated into jars. sky.

For this tofu stew prepared tonight, the fish head is first fried in oil until it is golden brown, and then taken out. Then, in another casserole, pour in the onion, ginger, and garlic to fry until fragrant, and then fry the fried fish head piece by piece. Lay it in, scoop two spoons of fish soup into it, and put tofu and shiitake mushrooms on top.

These shiitake mushrooms are all fresh shiitake mushrooms, which Chen Yan and Xiaohu went up to the mountain to pick them up this morning, before he even woke up with his children.When he got the child up, he saw the two of them coming back from the outside, and they brought back two large baskets of mushrooms and fungus.

After saving it for dinner tonight, put the rest outside to dry.

After putting the shiitake mushrooms and tofu in, spread a layer of bacon on top, layer by layer, then put in an appropriate amount of seasoning, cover and cook for a while.

When the lid was lifted, a strong smell came out from inside. The milky white soup was bubbling under the action of high temperature, and the meat and vegetables inside were all cooked.

Josh tried the saltiness with a spoon, and the taste was just right, as well as the taste of this soup, "It's absolutely amazing!"

"It's delicious!" It's the first time to make this fish head stew, and even he himself thinks the taste is really good!Thinking of the expressions on the faces of those people when they were eating later, he couldn't help laughing.

"Well, it smells really good." Even Zhao Amu had to admit that his daughter-in-law's cooking was really delicious, and even he couldn't get tired of eating it every day.Not to mention, eating during this time has made his waist round, and if he continues to eat like this, he suspects that last year's winter clothes will not be able to wear this year.

"Hehe, there's still rabbit meat here, let me see if it's cooked." The fish head stew over there is already ready, and Josh didn't forget that there is still a big pot of braised fish head here.

So today, in addition to these two hard dishes, there is also a big pot of braised rabbit meat, which has been stewed for half an hour.

The lid was lifted, and the soup inside was bubbling and bubbling, and the big pot of braised rabbit meat smelled like meat, which made him salivate uncontrollably, "This pot is really amazing, absolutely amazing. Already!"

The rabbit in this pot was caught by Chen Yan and Zhao Hu when they went up the mountain. Apart from the one boiled in the pot, there was another one in the cage outside, and they were all big fat rabbits.

Also, the two little rabbits in their family have grown into big rabbits now, but they just feed their son as a pet all day long, and he is too embarrassed to kill their son's pet rabbit to eat. I can only continue to raise it.I hope they can be more competitive and give birth to little rabbits as soon as possible, so that their family will have a steady stream of rabbit meat to eat?Maybe edible?

I hope their son can agree with them to eat the children and grandchildren of his two pet rabbits...

When it comes to Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.

"Yeah~" The cutie was showing off her cuteness at the door, blinking her big eyes.

"What are you doing here again?" Josh looked at his son who appeared at the kitchen door, called his son over, washed his little hands, let him sit on a small stool, and stuffed him with a small cucumber. Grind your teeth and eat dinner later.

Fortunately, this little brat became honest when he had something in his mouth. He sat there gnawing on a cucumber while staring at the meat in the pot.

Knowing that there was a lot of meat today, the group of people would eat enough meat, so he didn't bother to stir-fry vegetables, so he washed two cucumbers and cut them into sections, put them in a bowl, and took them out for them to eat That's it, and you don't need to waste firewood to fry.

"Why haven't those people come back yet?" Their meals were all ready, but before those people came back, Josh stretched out his head and took a look outside.Zhao Amu stood up from the stool she was sitting on, walked out and said, "Wait, I'll call them back right now."

"Then you go, Mu, I'll pour the food out." Seeing that Mu went out to call for someone, Josh helped to take the food out.

He didn't know he was back until he heard familiar footsteps and voices outside the door...
