The ancient life of a master craftsman

Back at Liu's Mansion, the two quickly signed the contract. Li Enbai put away the new contract and asked about Liu Mingxi's situation, "How is Mingxi doing recently? His letter to me said everything was fine, but not Ask me to write back to him, I'm afraid he's holding on."

After taking a sip of tea, Liu Chuncheng put down the teacup, "He's fine, he's just arguing fiercely with his big-hearted brother-in-law. I'm afraid I won't have time to read your letter, so I think I'll wait until the matter is over."

Liu Chuncheng spoke too calmly, as if Liu Mingxi was not fighting for the right of inheritance, and also seemed to be indifferent to his brother's concubine.

Li Enbai didn't continue to ask after hearing this. The Liu family's housework still needs to be resolved by themselves, and then he talked about another matter, "Then I will wait for him to send me a letter. Sir, I am planning to build a new house. House After it’s finished, please spare some time to attend the Wenju Banquet.”

"Oh? Don't you want to change houses after passing the exam?" Liu Chuncheng didn't say whether to go or not, but this attitude meant that he would go.

"I originally thought that way, but after going to Shicheng this time, I found that the family needs two servants, otherwise I can't worry about leaving Lizi alone at home. The population is too large, and the current house is not enough, so I just built it now. new."

Just now that the spring planting is over, everyone is more free. Except for the factory workers who go to work on time, other young and strong men have come to the town to do small jobs.

"Well, there are too many people in the family, and we really need a bigger house." Liu Chuncheng pinched the bridge of his nose, obviously a little tired, "Is there still a lack of servants? I have two of you here?"

"No need, sir. After the exam, Li Zi and I went to buy servants together. Li Zi likes it very much. No matter how many people there are, I should feel uncomfortable." Li Enbai thought of his cute little husband, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

Liu Chuncheng couldn't help feeling numb when he saw it, "Okay, okay, three words are inseparable from your husband, and I didn't see you guys so tired when we got married?"

Li Enbai just laughed and didn't answer, so Liu Chuncheng stopped teasing him, and the two talked for a while, seeing Liu Chuncheng pinch the bridge of his nose for the third time, Li Enbai left.

Liu Chuncheng wanted to keep the two of them for a meal, but Li Enbai refused because he was in a hurry to go back, so he had to let the two of them leave.

When Yunli left, she turned her head to look at the loquat. Li Enbai saw it and thought he liked eating loquat very much.

The first thing they did when they returned to the village was not to go home, but to go to Mu Laopai's house with preserved fruits. Hu Zhicheng who patted him on the back.

After spitting out all the rice porridge he had just eaten, Mu Xiaozhu felt a little better, and was carried back to the house by Hu Zhicheng, and Yun Li chased him in, "Brother Xiaozhu?"

Mu Xiaozhu vomited too much, his voice was so hoarse that he couldn't bear it, and he usually tried his best not to speak, so he just shook Yunli's hand to indicate that he was fine.

After taking a sip of water, Mu Xiaozhu pushed Hu Zhicheng and pointed to the kitchen.Hu Zhicheng's eyes were red, and his beard was unshaven, "Xiaozhu, take a break and then drink porridge. We'll be here soon, take your time."

He ate like this every day, vomited after eating, vomited up, and then ate again. Mu Xiaozhu was afraid that the child in his stomach would not have enough nutrition, so no matter how uncomfortable he was, he forced himself to eat, and the price was that he vomited even more.

Yunli held Mu Xiaozhu's hand, which was still cold even though she was covered with a quilt, it didn't look like her body temperature would rise when she was pregnant.

He quickly took out the preserved fruit, "Brother Zhu, this preserved fruit is newly made. The owner of the pastry shop said that it tastes very appetizing, and pregnant women can also eat it. Try it, it may be useful!"

Mu Xiaozhu doesn't like to eat sour food, and he doesn't like to eat it even after being pregnant. The sour plum is too sour. Every time he eats it, he spits it out sour. Comfortable.

But looking at Yunli's helpless look, Mu Xiaozhu couldn't bear to hurt his good intentions, so he thought about giving it a try, and at worst, he would vomit again.

"Okay." Picked up a candied fruit, the size of this candied fruit was exactly the size of a bite, and stuffed it into his mouth with his eyes closed, chewed dryly for a couple of times and was about to swallow it, but found that it was not as sour as he thought, It's just slightly sour, like the sourness of the fruit itself.

After chewing a few more times, my mouth was full of saliva, and I didn't feel nausea after eating it. After waiting for a while, I was sure that I didn't have nausea or want to vomit, so Mu Xiaozhu took another pill and ate it.

Hu Zhicheng and Yunli stared at him closely, watched him eat the preserved fruit one by one, and asked him expectantly, "Xiaozhu, what do you think? Do you want to vomit?"

After Mu Xiaozhu finished eating the preserved fruit, he still felt a little pity. This is really delicious, but it’s a pity that there are too few of them. He listened to Hu Zhicheng’s question, felt it carefully, and then said, “I’m hungry and want to eat egg noodles. "

Hu Zhicheng jumped up immediately, "Really? Are you hungry?"

Mu Xiaozhu nodded affirmatively, "I'm hungry, but I only want to eat egg noodles."

"Hey! Hey! Just wait! It will be ready soon." Hu Zhicheng ran out quickly, shouting as he ran, "Mom! Xiao Zhu is hungry and wants egg noodles!"

The excited Hu Zhicheng made the noise of chickens flying and dogs jumping all by himself. Xiao Zhuniang ordered a bowl of egg noodles as quickly as possible, and brought them in with Hu Zhicheng. The bowl in my son-in-law's hand is almost drooling.

Putting the small table on the bed, Mu Xiaozhu couldn't wait to ask Hu Zhicheng to put it down. Regardless of Hu Zhicheng's worried voice telling him to be careful, he picked up two noodles and blew them into his mouth.

Hu Zhicheng held his breath, afraid that Mu Xiaozhu would not want to eat after taking a bite, but fortunately nothing happened that he was worried about. Mu Xiaozhu ate deliciously, and after eating the bowl of noodles, he finished the soup and felt his stomach comfortably.

Yunli also felt relieved, Brother Zhu would not feel so uncomfortable if he could eat, and touched Brother Zhu's hand again, it was not so cold anymore.

"Brother, I bought this candied fruit from Yixin dim sum shop in the town. If you have time, go and buy two catties, and leave it for Brother Zhu to eat." Yunli reminded.

Hu Zhicheng remembered, "I remembered, and I will buy it after Xiao Zhu falls asleep."

"Well, then I'll go back first, brother-in-law can go to my house to find me if something happens."

When they got home, Yunli's brows were frowned with joy, and Li Enbai guessed that Mu Xiaozhu should be able to eat, so he pulled Yunli to make up for their belated lunch.

After discussing with Yunli, Li Enbai and Yunli drew up the blueprint of their new home. They only need to buy the house base with Mu Ergou to tear down the original old house and rebuild it.

But it was this step that blocked their progress in building a new house.

"Ergou, what conditions can you ask for? You can discuss it." Li Enbai knocked on the table, calmly looking at his aunt and Mu Ergou sitting opposite.

Mu Ergou rubbed his head, "I..."

His mother immediately interrupted him and said to Li Enbai, "Oh, we are all from the same village, and we don't want to deceive people, but this is my old house, I really don't want to sell it, and I have to leave it to Ergou to marry a wife! "

Mu Ergou was pinched by his mother, and he was not allowed to speak. He couldn't bear the pain, and grinned his teeth and pushed away his mother's hand, "Mother, why are you pinching me?!"

Li Enbai looked at the silly Mu Ergou, and then saw the bad greed concealed on his mother's face, and he knew it. He didn't answer the Ergou Niang, but said to Mu Ergou, "When I settled down, I divided the house. Although the base is a little bit farther than here, but the size is not much different, it can be exchanged for you, and I will give you another ten taels of silver."

Mu Ergou's eyes lit up. Originally, the reason why he didn't want to sell the house base was that he couldn't buy it after selling it. Now that he can exchange it and still have ten taels of silver, he is happy in his heart.But his mother didn't like it, it was only ten taels, half a year's wages for Mu Ergou.

"Boy of the Li family, you are not authentic. The location of our old house is so good. It is not far from the threshing ground, and it is also close to the village head's house. You will give ten taels of silver? Whether you sell it or not, we Let's save it for Ergou to marry a wife." Ergou Niang wants to ask for more money, but she is afraid that Mu Ergou will hinder her, so she does not leave the word "marry a wife" in her words.

Muergou is also in his twenties, and the children of the eldest brother in the family will run away. He doesn't even have a daughter-in-law. It used to be because of poverty, but now it's because of busyness. He is in the factory every day, and he doesn't take a break. Home, how can I have a chance to meet a girl.

But from the beginning, his desire to marry a daughter-in-law became stronger and stronger. When he came to discuss terms with Li Enbai today, he was fooled by his mother who said, "How can you marry a wife after you sold the house?", but his feverish mind was seeing Li Enbai The face that usually had a smile suddenly cooled down, regained its senses, and looked at his mother with a frown.

It stands to reason that he has been working in the factory for four or five months, so he should be quite rich, but in fact, more than half of his salary was taken away by his mother to subsidize his elder brother. If he is not willing to give it, he Mother went to the factory to make a fuss, saying that he was not filial and refused to provide for the old couple.

In order to be clean for a while, Mu Ergou chose to give money, and he gave more than five taels of silver in four or five months, which may have fed the appetite of his parents and elder brother, he thought to himself, looking at his mother His eyes could not help showing a little disappointment and sadness.

Li Enbai tapped his finger on the table, calling Mu Ergou who was distracted, "Ergou, what do you think?"

"Of course my son listens to me, boy from the Li family, what do you mean?" Er Gou Niang hurriedly said, she can't let Er Gou ruin her good deed, this Li family boy must take advantage of a lot of money, how could he not You have to make a fortune.

"Shuangzhong, see off the guests." Li Enbai said that if there is no agreement, he will not talk about it.

The second bitch was dumbfounded, what's going on?She hasn't made an offer yet?Why don't we talk about it?Mu Ergou has actually guessed it, as far as his mother thought, if Linfeng is really as rich as the villagers guessed, it will not be easy to buy a good house base?The village head is still his father-in-law, so it is not difficult to find a good place for him.

Mu Ergou was in a bad mood, mother never considered that she wanted to make a fortune from Linfeng, what if Linfeng kicked him out of the factory instead?Maybe it's because the money is in place, and she didn't plan to give it to herself, she planned to rely on the word filial piety to let herself give it to her elder brother, right?Then if they get the money, will they lose their jobs? What does it matter to them?Maybe even say that he has no ability.

Mu Ergou found that he thought of his family so badly, without a trace of warmth at all, so did he really want to continue to be controlled by his parents?No, if he doesn't resist to the end, he will be suppressed for the rest of his life, and he will support his eldest brother's family with his hard-earned money.

Having made up my mind, Mu Ergou didn't leave, "Linfeng, let's discuss it again, I want to sell."

"Yes, yes, discuss and discuss. The sale of the base is such a big matter, so don't discuss it too much. Why are you rushing us away?" The second son of a bitch quickly agreed.

But Mu Ergou said to his mother, "Mother, go back, the house site is mine, I can sell it whatever I want, and I won't pay a penny to the family after collecting the money, I want to keep it to build a new house."

The second bitch was so angry, "What nonsense are you talking about?! Why don't you pay it to your family, this is our old house, and your brother also has a share!"

"Mother, if you say that, then I'll go to Sanbo and ask if the family that was assigned to me at the beginning doesn't count?!" Mu Ergou also stared.

Li Enbai interjected, "Go home and deal with your own affairs, Shuangzhong, see off the guests."

After a period of recuperation, Shuangzhong showed the oppressive feeling of his tall and strong figure, "Mu Ershao, Mrs. Mu, please."

A strong old man stood beside him, even if he didn't use any threatening tone, Er Gou Niang felt uncomfortable all over. Mu Er Gou also knew that it was not good to quarrel in other people's homes, so he left. Once he left, Er Gou Mother didn't insist anymore, and chased him away.

Li Enbai could only shake his head at such a mother and son, Yunli came over from the east room, "How is it? They don't want to sell?"

"It's okay, let's talk to Ergou in two days, I think he wants to sell." Li Enbai thought in his heart, the premise is that Mu Ergou can get rid of his blood-sucking parents and brother.
