Husband and Father Youwei

The matter of building the house was settled in this way, and Tu Lin didn't delay any longer. He first went to the house of the village chief Sun Jinlai, and then Sun Jinlai took him to the county government to extend the large area from the charcoal workshop to the extreme mountain depression in the east. He bought them all, and then he didn't immediately go to buy bricks and tiles for building the house. Instead, he went to a dental shop and found an old acquaintance, Wu Zhongren, who took him to find a personal tooth. All are thirteen or fourteen-year-old strong and healthy teenagers.

Originally, Tu Lin wanted to buy two older ones, otherwise there would always be a feeling of enslaving child labor, but Wuzhong people persuaded him, saying that it is difficult to discipline him when he is old, and it is easy to have other thoughts, and then he has to worry about marriage and so on. , It's not like the younger ones, who are easy to discipline and not easy to make trouble.If you feel uneasy, just be kind.

Tu Lin thought that there was a pregnant woman and a young son in the family, and if two tall men were recruited, he would not be at ease, so he still chose two younger ones.Fortunately, just letting them make soap is not a labor-intensive job, and he will not treat them harshly if he asks himself.

After paying the money and receiving the deed of sale, Tu Lin took the two teenagers to buy some clothes and bedding, and then returned home.This day coincided with the public holiday, and Tu An was also at home, so he and Ruan Tang happened to meet the two new members of the family.

One of the two teenagers is Liu Bao, who is fourteen this year, and the other is Wang Fu, who is thirteen this year.

According to the rules, they were supposed to ask the new owners of Tu Lin and Ruan Tang to give them new names, but both Tu Lin and Ruan Tang felt that their original names were very good, one was 'Liu Bao' and the other was 'Wang Wang'. Fu', all good intentions, let them still use their own names.

After seeing his family members, Tu Lin took Liu Bao and Wang Fu to the empty house that he had already talked to the villager Sun Jin and agreed to rent.

Tu Lin put the clothes and quilts he bought for Liu Bao and Wang Fu on the bed, and said to them, "There are some things at home that you can't live in, so you should feel wronged and live here for a while, and after a while the new house is built. Don't live here anymore."

Although this house can also be lived in, after all, it has been vacant for a long time, and it is also a bit dilapidated.Fortunately, it's just autumn, and it's not too cold. If it's a few more months, Tu Lin can't let people live here.

"Don't be wronged, don't be wronged, the master is serious, this place is very good." Liu Bao bowed and hurriedly said with some panic, Wang Fu also echoed Liu Bao's words flattered.

They were sold as slaves since they were young, and they have also stayed in the homes of wealthy families. In terms of food and housing expenses, Tu Lin's place is completely incomparable, but none of the masters they have served before is as good as Tu Lin. Lin was so kind to them, as if he was not the master who was in charge of their life and death, but just a kind uncle and elder in the family, which made them feel at a loss and uneasy for a while.

Seeing the two young men's silence, Tu Lin couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, and said, "I'm not a wealthy family, and I don't have so many rules. You don't need to call yourself slaves, and don't kneel at every turn, and... ..."

Tu Lin originally wanted to tell them not to call him master, but he couldn't get used to the word, but at the moment he didn't know what to let them call him.Brother?These two are younger than Zhao Xiuxiu, so Tu Lin is not ashamed.Uncle?It sounds like they are relatives, but they are not relatives.

Seeing that the two teenagers who didn't know what to do because of his momentary hesitation, looked more and more panicked, Tu Lin had no choice but to let go of his entanglements temporarily, and said: "Forget it, you guys clean up first, and when you are done, you can rest for a while. Go home for dinner at noon."

Liu Bao and Wang Fu hurriedly answered yes, but Tu Lin didn't say anything more, then turned and left.

There was still some time before noon, and Tu Lin was not in a hurry to make lunch, so he started making soap.First boil a pot of lard, then melt a pot of lye water, and then mix them together according to the proportion, let the mule walk at a constant speed, and pull the stirrer to stir.At this time, Tu Lin didn't need to do anything, so he went to unmold the soap that had been completely solidified overnight.

Not long after noon, Liu Bao and Wang Fu also appeared on time very obediently.Tu Lin didn't send them any errands, so he asked them to stay in the house while he was going to cook in the kitchen.But this move surprised Liu Bao and Wang Fu, how could the servant sit comfortably while the master cooks for himself?But he didn't dare to go into the house just like that.

Seeing the two of them like this, Tu Lin didn't want to embarrass them. After thinking about it, he asked one of them to go to the backyard to pick some vegetables, and the other to help him light the fire.He was still required to cook the rice, and Ruan Tang was pregnant, so he was not at ease letting Ruan Tang eat something made by others.After being assigned an errand, Liu Bao and Wang Fu looked relieved.

Although there are still some special dishes and snacks from various places that were packed outside in Tu Lin's space, there are not many. Now that there are outsiders at home, he didn't take out those things to eat.Not only these food, Tu Lin also put away all other things that do not belong to this world.Fortunately, most of them are not necessary for life, and it doesn't matter if they have or not.

After lunch, Ruan Tang took a nap, Tu An did his homework, and Tu Lin led Liu Bao and Wang Fu to the woodshed in the backyard, and told them about the soap, and then Liu Bao and Wang Fu became stupid.

Although the two of them are slaves for sale, they have also heard of soap. The mistress in charge of them has one, which is said to be jasmine-scented.After washing your face and hands with that soap, your skin will become tender, smooth, white and fragrant. The price is not expensive, and it is so rare that many people can't buy it even if they want to.

But now, the owner who bought them turned out to be the soap seller. At first, they thought that the Tu family was just a country family, and the two who bought them were to farm and cultivate the land. What made them even more unbelievable was that Tu Lin actually wanted to tell them how to make the soap.

Seeing that Liu Bao and Wang Fu were stunned after he finished talking, Tu Lin also knew that this was not a trivial matter, so he waited for a while to give them a time to accept it.When the two finally came to their senses and looked at each other, not knowing what to do, he suddenly changed his face, solemnly and even sternly warned and threatened them.

Naturally, the content is to keep them safe, not to have any disagreements, and not to leak the matter of soap, otherwise Tu Lin has his own means to make them regret their actions for life.Although he couldn't bear to threaten and scare the two teenage boys, Tu Lin also knew that this world was different from his original world after all, and these were necessary, so he did so anyway.

Of course, he didn't forget to soften his tone and appease them afterwards. As long as the two of them are honest, he will naturally not treat them badly.After a few years when they grow up, if they want to stay, they can stay, and if they don't want to leave, he can return them the deed of sale, and he will never embarrass them.

Although soap is a rarity now and only his family can make it, he didn't expect to be the only one in the soap business for the rest of his life.After all, it is not something complicated and difficult to make. Sooner or later, someone else will research it, but it is just a matter of time. It is enough for him to earn the first pot of gold when he is the only one.

In this way, even if Liu Bao and Wang Fu, who knew about the soap workshop, were let go, it wouldn't matter.

Liu Bao and Wang Fu were first taken aback by Tu Lin's entrustment, and then threatened by Tu Lin's sullen face. If you are loyal and loyal, you will never have any second-mindedness. If you don't, you will be struck by thunder and you will die and so on.

Tu Lin has already said what should be said, as for the behavior of Liu Bao and Wang Fu, it will have to be seen later, as for swearing guarantees, it is useless, so he never took it to heart.

Then Tu Lin got the two of them up and began to teach them how to make soap formally.Both Liu Bao and Wang Fu are not stupid, and making soap is not difficult.Tu Lin demonstrated it to them himself, and then let them do it by themselves, while he guided them.

After spending two days in this way, seeing that the two of them were proficient in the operation, Tu Lin completely handed over the matter to them, and started to work on building the house himself.For example, buying bricks and tiles and building materials needed to build a house, hiring craftsmen, etc.

The construction of the house this time is different from the previous charcoal workshop, and the amount of work is quite substantial.According to Tu Lin and Ruan Tang's plan, they wanted to build a courtyard with two entrances this time, and add two cross courtyards to the right.The front yard is connected to the first yard, and the place where soap is made, and the back yard is connected to the second yard, which is the kitchen, warehouse and servant's room.

There is no house built on the left side of the yard, but a pond is going to be dug out, and the river water from the mountain depression will be poured in to supply water for the family.Some water chestnuts can be planted in the pond, so that you can enjoy flowers in summer, eat lotus root and lotus seeds in autumn and winter, and you can raise some ducks. You can also grow some vegetables or flowers around the pond.

In addition, the vacant land on the west side of the yard leading to the charcoal workshop is not going to be left empty. Instead, it will be surrounded and a few sheds will be built to raise some pigs, sheep and other livestock.The main ingredient for making soap is lard. Because the soap business is so good, Tu Lin has to go to the county town to buy a large amount of fat pork and suet every two or three days. Both have risen a bit, and some are not easy to buy.

So Tu Lin planned to get some pigs and sheep to raise by himself. He tested that sheep oil can also be used to make soap, which is no worse than lard. Moreover, goat milk can be added to soap and can be used to make a lot of food. Lamb and sheepskin Needless to say, they can all be sold for money.The left and right are empty and empty, so it is better to make the best use of everything.

It's just that building yards, digging ponds, and building cattle sheds in this way is not enough for a few people in the village, so Tu Lin hired a few masons in the county town.

The land had already been bought, so Tu Lindang even led his people to get busy.The wasteland needs to be cleaned up first, except for weeds and gravel, and then the location of the walls and yards of the house is drawn on the ground according to the drawings, and then the foundation can be dug.After the foundation was dug, the ordered bricks and tiles and other building materials were delivered in batches.

Now that the work of making soap is handed over to Liu Bao and Wang Fu, Tu Lin is free all of a sudden, except for arranging the accounts of charcoal workshops and shops, or checking the progress of building houses, the rest of the time is spent They are all with Ruan Tang.

Ruan Tang's body is nearly eight months old now, and his belly is really big, and he has to walk slowly with his waist straightened.It's just that although Tu Lin thought about giving Ruan Tang delicious food every day to nourish his body, Ruan Tang was born with a body that is not easy to get fat, and he didn't become plump like other pregnant women and husbands. It was still different from the firmness of the past, and became much softer, making it more comfortable for Tu Lin to touch.

A few months ago, when he just came back from the escort, Tu Lin went to the escort bureau to resign from the post of escort with the head of the bodyguard Qin, but the head of the bodyguard Qin did not agree to him, and only asked him to go home to take care of his wife and children, and wait for his wife to go well. Let's talk about it after production.

At that time, although Tu Lin had made up his mind, he didn't want to be too tough and create a rift with the bodyguard, so he temporarily agreed.Unexpectedly, now that Ruan Tang is not yet ready for delivery, the Escort suddenly sends someone to the door.

The person who came was someone Tu Lin knew, Huang Yuan, the head of the bodyguard who did not know Tu Lin. To Tu Lin's surprise, he came to Tu Lin not because of Tu Lin's resignation, but because of Tu Lin's resignation. He is here to tell Tu Lin that a strange boy from other places has come to the Escort today, and he is here to find Tu Lin.

It's just that the young man had a hard journey and fell seriously ill. After arriving at the escort agency, he passed out without saying a few words.Now he has been sent to the medical center to ask a doctor for treatment, and Huang Yuan came to tell Tu Lin about this.

According to what the boy said before he fainted, his name is Yuan Rui, and he is from Yutang County, Qingzhou.Because Tu Lin had favored him when he passed by Yutang County with the escort team, he was able to fulfill his mother's last wish before she died, and he would not regret it for the rest of his life.

The young man was grateful to Tu Lin, and he was not an ungrateful person. After his mother passed away safely and buried her, he did not hesitate to trek hundreds of miles from Qingzhou to Fengyang County, just to find Tu Lin and give back to him. kindness to him.
