[Comprehensive] Saving Tragedy

Don't look at her Er Niu Niang as a village woman, but she is a very particular person. After getting the things from Liuliu, she calculated carefully. The jewelry added together, there are six or two halves. If you count the workmanship , How can you pay seven taels of silver in a jewelry store, oh, a pawnshop?You can’t go to that place, people who have no way to go to that place, giving [-]% is too much, if you give it directly to a jewelry store, someone who is familiar with it, you will definitely be able to sell it at a high price, and you can directly weigh the amount of silver and give it to you. You must know this thing If it is sold in a shop, the wage is one-tenth of the jewelry. If it is more delicate, sometimes the wage is no less than silver.Er Niuniang has a brother from her natal family who works as a clerk in a jewelry shop in the county seat. She has already made up her mind that she must make connections and sell this item at a higher price so that Liu Liu can save more money.Even for the pair of earrings given to her, she also thought in her heart that after selling them, she would take less, just one or two, and she would feel ashamed if she took too much.Put the rest into other money, at least let the mother and son of the Yang family relax and buy more rice.

After weighing the things, Erniang Niang went to the village chief's house again, and begged to write a deed, explaining that Yang Guo's mother and son exchanged a tael of silver for a house on the mountain. It belongs to the scope of their village, and it belongs to the place where the whole village chops firewood and hunts. Being able to use it in the village does not mean that outsiders can use it. Fortunately, Yang Guo's mother and son have lived here for many years, and the people in the village can be regarded as acquiescing to them. Even so, Er Niu Niang felt that it would be better to make more preparations. With this deed, at any rate, the house would be considered to be under the name of Yang Guo's mother and son, and it would be safe in the future. To save some trouble, it can be said that she is very thoughtful for Liu Liu and the others.

As for why she felt that the people in the village would not drive them away, apart from the reason mentioned above that Yang Guo's mother and son had lived there for many years, it was because Liu Liu said that they were going to build a house. She told the village chief that they would hire someone To build a house, repair the old wooden house, and fence the yard, the wife of the Yang family prepared three or four taels to ask the villagers to do the work, and also bought three hens and one rooster from the village head's house to raise, and this One tael is also used to repair the house, even the village head is not satisfied.These days, most of a village is full of people with the same surname, and the village head is sometimes the head of the clan. As the head of the clan, he naturally hopes that his clansman's life will be better, and having a buddy is a guarantee for the clansman to live a good life!Although the money is less and the number of people invited will not be too many, it will increase the income of the tribe no matter what, which is a good thing.Not to mention that even his family can get some benefits from selling chickens.

As soon as such a matter of equal interests came out, the village chief naturally agreed without saying a word, and he didn't even ask for the finishing fee of the five eggs brought by Er Niu Niang, so he started writing happily, waiting for this When Er Niu Niang went out to go to the county town to exchange her jewelry for silver, the village chief told her that she would be able to start work as soon as she came back.

Liuliu has caught up with this era. At this time, the transplanting of rice seedlings happened to be completed, and when there was not much work in each family, they heard that there was work to be done to build a wooden house. All the families were very happy, except for going to give Liuliu It is also a good job to renovate the roof of the Erniu’s house, but it is a small village of more than 20 families. In this way, almost every family has people involved, either someone from the owner’s house helps with the work, or the west’s family cuts down trees. Selling for money, although there are many trees and they are worthless, but the person who cuts the trees can always have some manual money.After coming and going, the women who have benefited from each family are also pleasing to the widow's house when they look at this widow's house, and they naturally get close to Liu Liu. Not to mention anything else, even Yang Guo, life is easier among the children, at least When digging wild vegetables, there are few people who exclude him.

The house at home is a big house, which is directly divided into two rooms inside and outside, one is used as a bedroom and the other is used as a living room. Now if you want to add a bedroom, you just need to build another one on the other side of the living room, and then add a new one to the living room. When I was resting the whole house, I just opened the door where the living room and the new house are connected, but Liuliu thought simply, after all, I don’t know anything about architecture, and when I talked to those masons, they laughed, saying that it’s like this. It is troublesome to build a house. After all, the roof and the beams are all completed at one time. As soon as they greeted each other, everyone simply helped to tear down the original house and built a big three rooms again, which made Liu Liu very happy.Hastily went to the mountains to hunt a wild boar and came back, let Er Niuniang cook the meat, and distributed the rest to the various families in the village, so happy that every family in the village sent their men to help .

The big house was tidied up, the kang was built, and there were kitchens and chicken coops in the yard, such small tasks. The kitchen was originally a shed, but now it has become a neat wooden house, and it has been enlarged a lot. A small utility room can be separated.The chicken coop was placed on the other side of the yard, the branches and leaves were piled up, and even the roof was tidied up.There is also a fence around the yard. According to Liuliu's request, it needs to be enlarged to enclose half an acre of land so that the two mothers can grow and eat food. It is also the land in the mountains that no one wants and it is worthless. , there is a full acre of land, and no one said that it was inappropriate.And eating the wild boar meat brought by Liuliu, the men probably felt a little embarrassed, feeling that they took advantage of the widow's house, and they did it very meticulously, even helping to clean up some small traps outside the house. It is directly inserted with tree stumps every one meter, and wrapped with strong mountain vines in the middle, which is very thick and firm.

For people in the mountains, the wooden house can only be regarded as the simplest house. It looks beautiful, but it is not practical. If it is not good, it will easily leak air, so many people would rather have an earth embryo house than a wooden house. Most of them are in the mountains where it is inconvenient to transport the earth embryo. Building a tree house can be used when hunting and gathering herbs for rest. It can be regarded as a temporary place to rest, and no one pays attention to it.Even when Liuliu said that the house was still a wooden house, some kind-hearted people in the village tried to persuade Liuliu to use a strong earthen embryo to block the wind, but Liuliu didn't have enough money to use it, and the transportation was troublesome. But the real reason is: in Liuliu's eyes, the wooden house is better and cleaner than the earthen embryo. As for why, just look at Liuliu's method.

After tidying up the house and building it, Liu Liu took out another tael of silver from the space, and bought a lot of half-cut soil embryos and broken bricks from the village, and asked people to build a kang. This is a northern family. People in Jiangnan may not be familiar with commonly used things, but Liuliu knows the benefits of this thing very well. In the mountains, with this, even the problem of dampness can be avoided.With this, even if the air leaks, you won’t be afraid of the cold when you sleep in winter, and the air leak can also be used as ventilation, so that the smell of fireworks in the room is not so strong, which is actually a good thing. The yellow mud filled the gaps in the wood from the outside, so that there is no need to worry about air leakage, and then some creepers were planted, so that there is no need to worry about the problem that the yellow mud is easy to fall off when the rain washes it.Although it is crude and looks a bit ugly, it can be regarded as a thick house anyway.And now.It was summer, and it was the hottest time, so the ventilation was just like the air conditioner.

Waiting for everything to be ready, even the gate at the gate of the yard was reinstalled, Liu Liu and Yang Guo could finally live in the new house. These days, because the house is going to be refurbished, the two of them are staying at Er Niu's house. This made her very unaccustomed to it. Now it’s all over. At noon, people from the village are invited to warm the house and have a meal. This is considered to have completely completed the most important event in this era, the building of the house. Although Very tired, but looking at the brand new yard and house, she was so happy no matter how she looked at it. On the other hand, Yang Guo ran back and forth in the yard, even in the house. Turn, not happy.

"Guoer, don't look at it, come on, help mother grow something, beside the chicken coop, Liuliu opened a small field, holding some seeds in his hand, and was carefully spreading them on the ground, Yang Guomai With short legs, he leaned over and squatted down to help Liuliu carefully cover the seeds with soil. While doing it, he asked:

"Mom, what is this?"

"This is the seed of mint. We planted it a little late. Fortunately, the weather in the mountains is cooler, and it is estimated that it can be planted."

"Why do you plant this? Didn't mother say to grow vegetables?"

"Silly boy, all the vegetables should be planted in the backyard. Mint can repel mosquitoes. This is the mountain, where there are the most mosquitoes. There are more varieties. The mosquitoes will run away when they smell it. In this way, isn't it our home?" Can it be cleaner? You can also get less bites on your body."

While working, Liu Liu began to slowly tell Yang Guo some common sense, such as what flowers are useful for, where to plant them, and even asked Yang Guo to help plant grapes in the yard. From the very beginning, Liu Liu With this plan, you can eat fruits and shade from the sun. How can you miss such a thing that kills two birds with one stone? In the past, she had a grape trellis in the yard in Wudang, which she liked the most. She did this again, and when she was building the house, she asked someone to build a bamboo frame at the entrance of the main room.

Yang Guo had heard about this before, and the more he listened to it, the more excited he became. Holding a gourd ladle, he scooped water from the big water tank at the door of the kitchen, and followed Liu Liu to help water the seeds, asking questions from time to time. Asking questions, looking very excited, waiting for the work to be done, and even ran to the chicken coop, saying hello to the chickens, and telling them not to eat the seeds when they come out to eat insects, when they have He must invite the hens to eat grapes.

Talking to the chicken and discussing it, Yang Guo acted stupidly and made Liu Liu laugh. Sure enough, the child is the cutest.Or is Yang Guo born with the ability to make people like him? !

At night, Liuliu lay on the brand-new kang, unable to sleep. The mountain that had been noisy for half a month finally became quiet again. Except for the occasional sounds made by the chickens, Liuliu felt as if she could no longer hear them. There were other sounds, Yang Guo slept in his room for the first time today, he was the most excited, he didn't care if his mother would feel deserted sleeping alone, leaving Liu Liu staring at the roof in a daze.

Lying down and unable to sleep, Liuliu naturally began to think about the things of life again, because when she got up the house, the things she took out were a bit eye-catching, after all, not everyone can take out so much silver jewelry at once, Especially in such a mountain, if the people here were not relatively simple, she would have to worry about whether they would be jealous, whether they would attract people to peep, or provoke some thieves. It was not that she was afraid of thieves, but Afraid of trouble, she just wanted to bring up Yang Guo here peacefully, at least until Yang Guo was ten years old.I don't want to attract anyone's attention, and I don't want to interact with others too much.

It is said that there is no relationship, but in fact, this time she owes Er Niu Niang a lot of favors. She is the one who helps cook, helps run around for money, and she is the one who buys things. Familiarity, because of the wide range of channels, but it is undeniable that they really helped a lot. Of course, she also knows that the Er Niu Niang also feels that she has taken advantage of it. After all, the Er Niu Niang's family has successfully re-covered thatch this time. The roof solved the problem of rain leakage, and by the way, following Liu Liuxue, grapes were planted in the yard, jujube trees were planted in the backyard, and a kang was built in the house.But favors are favors. It seems that after a few days, the house will be tidied up. Teaching children how to learn martial arts and how to read characters will also be on the agenda. Repaying favors in this way will definitely make Erniu Niang happy of.

Liuliu turned over and saw the cabinet on one side. There were several baskets on it. She remembered all the things in these baskets. They were house-warming gifts from various families in the village today. Some of them were a handful of dates. , some are two eggs, and some are a liter of coarse rice. Although they are all worthless things, if they can send them, that is love. It seems that it is unrealistic for me to be so isolated from the world and so clean. Well, people always live in groups, even if they live a low-key life, they still can't save the walking around!

Thinking of this, Liuliu couldn't fall asleep even more, so she simply sat up, took out a piece of cloth from the space, and began to do handwork with a dim oil lamp. It was half-made trousers for Yang Guo. Nianci is really a female celebrity, she can't do anything except sewing. Fortunately, Liu Liuhui, she stayed in Wudang for so many years, even if she didn't know how to do it originally, she was taught by a few other sisters-in-law. Even if embroidery and so on are more difficult and rough, but basic things like making clothes are still achievable.

Think about what I have to do, now it is summer, Yang Guo sleeps in another room, it is okay to use one of her big clothes as a quilt, but what about winter?The quilt is still to be made, and the cotton-padded clothes and trousers can’t be saved. The original clothes are Erniu’s old clothes. I got them to be changed into smaller ones, and I bought them from old clothes stalls outside. I have to say , Yang Guo is really a big kid, after wearing the old clothes stall for so many years, he didn't catch any disease, he really can only praise the old clothes stall owner as the conscience of the industry.

There are also shoes, this child has never worn a new pair of shoes, it makes me sad to think about it, I can't be so wronged this child when I come here, the food at home looks good now, there are about [-] in the rice tank Catty rice, it was bought with the help of Erniangniang. I have warm house wine today, and there is still half a rabbit left, which can be eaten for a few days. After a few days, those hens have adapted to the environment. You can start laying eggs, and Yang Guo's nutrition can keep up.What else is there to do?

The needle in Liuliu's hand moved quickly, and her mind couldn't stop for a moment. She even thought about what else she could get out of her space, that dagger?Or just take the knife out?By the way, Mu Nianci is the Yang family's marksmanship besides Xiaoyaoyou. He should also prepare a long spear for Yang Guo. This martial art is passed down by the Yang family, so it should be passed on to Yang Guo. Apart from this, what else can he teach? ?Swordsmanship, Yang Guo will learn epee in the future, but there is still a problem, all the swordsmanship I learned from Wudang, although it will not make people see anything wrong, let people plant it and steal it from others The name of martial arts, but this first-class swordsmanship with no provenance, really put it in the martial arts world, it can't be said that it is even more eye-catching, it seems inappropriate, so what should be taught?Oh, what a big head!

By the way, what about teaching them to write?Is it possible to learn from those novels and let them write on the ground with branches?At the beginning, it was okay, but in the end, I always had to buy some paper and pens. In this way, I must have a profitable business on the bright side. No matter how bad it is, the income from hunting and gathering herbs must make people look better than before , otherwise people will suspect that she is not, there are many gossips in front of widows, who knows what these idle village women will say then!It's not that they are malicious, but that this gossip attribute is very troublesome, and it's not like she hasn't experienced it before. After traveling through several lifetimes, her toes know what they will say.

The more Liu Liu thought about it, the more things happened, and the needle and thread in her hand moved faster and faster. A faint voice suddenly came, which disrupted Liu Liu's thoughts all at once. It came from Yang Guo's room, Liu Liu couldn't help but put on her shoes, and walked over with the oil lamp in her hand, wanting to see what was going on, but when she got to Yang Guo's room, she saw the child drooling in his sleep. tears:

"Mother, don't leave me, mother, we have a big house, mother, please be good, don't want to become a wild child, mother..."

Liu Liu's heart fluttered all of a sudden, she really didn't expect that after so many days, the panic that Mu Nianci couldn't afford to bring to Yang Guo still hasn't dissipated.Even in sleep, he was still restless.She suddenly felt that she didn't care enough for this child. These days, Yang Guo slept with Er Niu, and she didn't know anything.

Thinking of this, Liu Liu couldn't help but put down the oil lamp on the side, took off her shoes, got to Yang Guo's bed, hugged him tightly in her arms, patted his back lightly, and said in a low voice:

"Guo'er is good, mother is here, mother has always been here, mother wants to see Guo'er grow up and become a man, she will not be willing to leave, she will not leave you, don't worry! Guo'er is not a wild child, Guo'er My son is the most obedient, the most obedient, the most capable, and my mother loves me the most."

In Liuliu's soft murmur, Yang Guo rolled into Liuliu's arms, held her arm, finally calmed down, and the tears stopped, looking at such an insecure child, Liuliu couldn't Bearing the heart to let go of that hand, he simply hugged her and fell asleep on his side, forgetting to turn off the oil lamp.

And from the outside of the house, this house hidden in the woods, the little light shining through the window is so warm.
