Lucky husband

Back at the county inn, Bai Yao told his son Bai Zhiwen about the situation of Li's family, and Bai Zhiwen felt that the land near Li's house was fine, and he could accompany Bai Yao back to the village to buy the land. Come down, and then ask Village Chief Bai and the others to help find someone to build a house.

To go back to his ancestral home to observe filial piety, Bai Yao sold all the things that were not needed or inconvenient to transport, and only brought the tablets of his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and husband-in-law, and the clothes and silver of the mother and son.

Therefore, they only need to build a house that is big enough to live in. After they are completely settled, she will continue to embroider to earn money and save money. The family has no money, and when Bai Zhiwen is out of the filial piety period, he will continue to pay for his studies and scientific examinations.

It was better to repair the house sooner rather than later, the price of staying in the inn for one day was too high, so Bai Yao and Bai Zhiwen went back to the village with money to buy land the next day.

There are only three of them in their family. Half an acre of land is enough to build a house. The price of the homestead is cheaper than that of dry land. The village head Bai takes care of their mother and children, and they have a good relationship with Bai Zhiwen, who is talented in reading. Silver, it couldn't be cheaper.

"Thanks to the village chief, I will trouble you and my sister-in-law about our mother and son. We will live in the village in the future and will not cause trouble for you." Bai Yao directly took three liang of silver and came out.

"They're all from the same clan, so don't be so polite. Take back the extra money. It's not easy for you to live alone with two children." Village Chief Bai only accepted two taels of silver, "Now the people in the county government are resting , I can’t get the land deed, and after the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, I will take Zhiwen to the county government to finalize the land deed.”

Bai Yao didn't take back the one or two taels of silver, she said with some uncertainty: "Mr. Bai, you need to pay the lease fee when you go to the county government to exchange the land lease. This..."

"The youngest of the Li family next to you is working in the county government office. People in our village used to pay the contract fee, and the county government people collected it according to the rules. The half-acre house site only costs [-] yuan. You can ask Zhiwen to take [-] yuan. "The village chief Bai explained that one tael of silver is too much, and it is difficult for the county government to collect it. It is better to take copper coins.

"Thank you, Uncle Bai." Bai Zhiwen gave a scholarly salute to Village Chief Bai, "Uncle Bai, I still need bricks and tiles to repair the house, and it is not convenient for my mother to come forward. I am young, can I trouble you to take me to order bricks?" watt?"

A boy of this age is growing taller. During this period of time, he has less busy work at home, and looks more tall and straight. Even wearing plain clothes gives people a sense of grace.

Not only did Village Chief Bai come forward to order bricks and tiles for the reason he just said, but also because the mother and son were not familiar with Changping County and were worried about being cheated.

There are two brick kilns near Shanghe Village, so it’s not troublesome to go there. After asking what kind of bricks and tiles they want to order, the head of Bai Zhiwen led Bai Zhiwen to a brick kiln with reasonable prices and real things. .

After ordering the required bricks and tiles, Village Chief Bai and Bai Zhiwen returned to Shanghe Village together. Bai Yao, who stayed in Shanghe Village, was asking Village Chief Bai's wife to come forward to find a man in the village to build a house.

Because he decided not to include food, Bai Yao raised his wages to 55 cash a day. Now that the farming is slack, it is very easy to hire people with such a price.

As for the necessary beams and columns for building a house, it will be a little more troublesome, because everyone usually looks at the wood and chops it home to dry before preparing to build the house. It is not easy to find wood temporarily, so Bai Yao had to ask Village Chief Bai to come to the village Ask to see if anyone in the village is willing to sell beam timber.

After finishing the busy work of repairing the house, Bai Yao took Bai Zhiwen back to the county inn in a hurry, she was worried that her little brother would be afraid to be alone in the inn.

Look at the land on the fifth day, buy land and order bricks and tiles on the sixth day, lay the foundation on the seventh day, start building the house on the ninth day, get the land deed on the [-]th, install beams on the [-]th, seal tiles on the [-]th, and repair kitchens and huts on the [-]th.

In just fourteen days after returning to Shanghe Village, the small house that Bai Zhiwen's family will live in for several years, including three bedrooms and a main room, was completed under the supervision of Village Chief Bai.

The newly repaired house was damp, so it had to be left to dry for a few days. On the day of the fifteenth day, Bai Zhiwen and Bai Yao went back to the village with gifts and thanked Village Chief Bai. They had already ordered beds, cabinets, Tables and stools and other items, after the house is dry, the furniture can be moved in and live in the new home.

The new house of Bai Zhiwen's family is close to the left wing. Since Li Mingjin can remember, there are only their family and the second grandfather's house here, and no one else has come to repair the house.

When the house was just started, I heard that the new neighbors were the Bai family who had just returned to Shanghe Village. He had never met him before. Li Mingjin went there every day to see how the house was built and when the new neighbors would come Appeared, he was extremely curious.

In the end, after waiting for several days, there was no sign of anyone. On the [-]th day, when Jiang Zhiyun was confinement, Li Mingjin's attention was attracted by the mother who was finally able to go out. She didn't go to see the house next door. Bai Zhiwen and Bai Yaoshi.

Therefore, when the new neighbor's house was repaired, Li Mingjin couldn't see what the new neighbor looked like.

Life returned to calm, and the neighbors stopped repairing things tinkly. A few days later, Li Mingjin had another dream.

This time he had two dreams in one night. The first dream was related to his rice noodle business, and the second dream was related to the house next door.

Waking up in the morning, while he still clearly remembered the scene in the dream, Li Mingjin hurried to find Jiang Zhiyun: "Mother, mother, it's not good, it's not good."

With this anxious tone again, Jiang Zhiyun was worried that Li Mingjin was not dressed properly, so she quickly put down what she was doing and walked to Li Mingjin's room, seeing that Li Mingjin was fully dressed, she slowed down her tone and asked him to speak slowly : "Brother Jin, don't worry, explain what's going on little by little."

"Mother, I dreamed that something happened to Uncle's rice noodle stall." Li Mingjin explained the process of the accident.

It was almost time for lunch, and someone came to the rice noodle stand and said that there was something wrong with their rice noodle.

But Bai Xiuhe remembered that none of them had ever been to the stall to eat rice noodles, so she and Li Chengzhi started arguing with those people.

Those people were actually looking for trouble. Seeing that Bai Xiuhe and the others refused to admit it, they immediately started making trouble in the booth, overturning the wooden cart containing the broth casserole. The casserole was still bubbling and hot. It landed on Bai Xiuhe's arms and thighs.

When Li Chengzhi went to help Bai Xiuhe, the booth was smashed by those people, and then they left quickly, and the whole process took less than a quarter of an hour.

Immediately afterwards, Li Mingjin had a second dream. The new neighbors who had never shown up next door finally appeared, and they brought people to move things like beds, tables and stools into the new house.

Li Mingjin remembered that the people who moved things had just entered for a while, when they heard exclamations from inside, saying that a person had been bitten by a snake, and told people to hurry to find a doctor.The snake was a poisonous snake. Fortunately, the snake's hibernation hadn't ended yet, and the bite was not severe. The man woke up quickly after taking Xing Langzhong's antidote.

Li Mingjin narrated the contents of the two dreams, and Jiang Zhiyun heard that things were not easy, so she hurried to her mother-in-law to discuss what to do.

After listening to the first dream, Mrs. Li's eyes were as big as a bull's eye, and she raised her voice: "Brother Jin dreamed that someone smashed our rice noodle stall!"

"Yes, not to mention the smashed booth, my sister-in-law got burned." Jiang Zhiyun added.

"Okay, old lady, I'm going to see what kind of bastard is here to make trouble!" Mrs. Li walked out with her hips on her hips, as if she was planning to leave for the county right away.

"Mother, there is one more thing!" Jiang Zhiyun hurriedly pulled her back, "Brother Jin also dreamed that the house next door moved in today, and a snake appeared in the house while putting things away, and almost killed people, but fortunately, it didn't happen in the end." It's very serious, Doctor Xing detoxified the snake."

"There are snakes?" Mrs. Li asked in disbelief. Now is not the season for snakes.

"En." Jiang Zhiyun nodded affirmatively.

Snakes will appear when the next door moves. If they don’t know about it, forget it. If they know about it, they don’t come forward to remind them.

Mrs. Li frowned and thought for a while, then arranged: "Well, I will let the old man go to the county seat, and I will stay at home. When the neighbors move here, I will remind them to sprinkle some realgar wine. Just in case, let's The family also sprinkled some realgar in advance."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Li hurriedly prepared to go out to find old man Li and told him to go to the county seat immediately.

"Mother, I have a proposal." Jiang Zhiyun once again grabbed Old Madam Li.

Under Mrs. Li's anxious eyes, she quickly expressed her thoughts: "I think those people at the rice noodle stall are here to find fault on purpose, so neither you nor dad will be of much use in the past, why don't you let dad run away?" A trip to the county government office and let Brother Shi go there should be able to calm down those who deliberately make trouble."

The old lady Li clapped her hands: "Hey! You still have a bright mind. The old man and I have mud legs, and those little bastards won't be afraid of us. If the third child in the county government uniform goes over, he will definitely scare them to the ground Down!"

With an idea, Mrs. Li immediately went out to find old man Li, and finished what was going to happen at the rice noodle stall today in a few words, and quickly asked him to go to the county government to find the third son to go to the shop, and not let those gangsters really mess up their rice noodle business .

After the arrangement of the rice noodle stall was settled, Mrs. Li went back to the house to find the realgar and realgar wine, and sprinkled them in the corner of the house.

Li Mingjin saw it, and followed Granny Li: "Grandma, this smells so stinky, why did you spill it on the ground?"

While sprinkling realgar, Mrs. Li educated Li Mingjin: "This is to prevent snakes, rats and mosquitoes. It is safe to sprinkle it at home. Brother Jin, you must remember."

Li Mingjin thought of his dream, and nodded, "You have to sprinkle realgar wine when you move."

After Mrs. Li finished spreading, there was movement outside Li's courtyard. Li Mingjin ran over, pulled the door frame and poked his head out.

In the dream, he paid attention to the person who was bitten by the snake, and didn't notice the new neighbor. He had long been curious about what the new neighbor looked like. It happened that Bai Zhiwen walked over at this moment and met Li Mingjin's eyes.

The young man's back is straight, his eyes are clear, and his plain clothes and headband complement his figure like jade, which makes Li Mingjin's eyes shine.

In Bai Zhiwen's eyes, this little brother who poked his head out from behind the door has red lips, white teeth, cute snow, and black grape-like eyes full of vitality, which is especially attractive to him.
