When Yan Laoer and Qi Si came back after a long journey, the brick buyers had basically dispersed.
Yan Yu's brothers with different surnames are helping the Cui family, a big customer, move bricks.
After receiving a tael of silver from Madam Cui, Yan Yu was looking for money.
"Auntie, do you want broken silver or copper plates?" Yan Yu asked.
When her daughter, Mrs. Cui, heard the child calling her that, she laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth.
"Oh, you kid, you're so sweet-mouthed. Even if you're a girl, isn't it just money for everything you give me?"
Yan Yu chuckled and said: "No, that's the reason. I have broken silver worth one cent and five cents, and twenty copper coins. Take it, my dear. If you need copper coins in the future, come to me to exchange them. Our homes are so close, so many
convenient."
Her girl, Lady Cui, left happily.
Daya came over with a basin, put out the spices, and invited everyone to come over and wash their hands.
The children smiled and said thank you, one said thank you to the big sister, and the other said thank you to the big sister.
Yes, Datie and the others are older than Daya.
It's hard for Erya to instruct them.
Da Ya wanted to say that it was not me who boiled the water, nor was I the one who made it warm enough not to be hot, but Aunt Rong.
When I turned my head, I saw Aunt Rong's shadow everywhere.
She asked her second aunt: "Aunt, where is Aunt Rong?"
Li Xuemei smiled and said: "I've gone home and been busy with us all day. Thank you for having her today."
Daya nodded and said: "Aunt, we will start building the house tomorrow? Then Aunt Rong will come to work tomorrow?"
"Yes, I made an agreement with her to help us cook a big pot of rice, but as you can see, your Aunt Rong is too busy to be idle, and she has done a lot of miscellaneous things for us."
Yan Laoer washed his hands three times before he felt that the layer of brick dust on his hands was barely able to go away.
Hearing the conversation between the two, he asked: "Are you helping us with work today? What did you do?"
Li Xuemei said it roughly.
Yan Laoer nodded seriously: "Okay, I'll remember it, and I'll tell her later starting from today."
Da Ya went to get the pie made by Aunt Rong for her father and second uncle.
Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
Yan Laoer took a bite, oh, it's stuffed with pork and fennel.
"Where does fennel come from?" he asked curiously.
Li Xuemei smiled and said: "There is a large area of wasteland near the mountain, and there is quite a lot."
"Is this... made of dried meat?" Yan Laoer ate it.
Li Xuemei nodded repeatedly and said: "Just use dried meat, boil it first, then chop it and then adjust the filling. It's really convenient."
Yan Laoer was also convinced.
At least he couldn't restore the dried meat to this level.
Yan Huaiwen heard about Mrs. Rong's actions from Heng'er and Daya successively. He remembered that when registering her household registration that day, the woman who was alone and could not speak could write her own name. She should know some words and speak.
He was separated from his family.
He took a bite of the pie and chewed it carefully.
According to his original intention, he wanted to find an aunt he knew well in the village for help.
Unexpectedly, the younger siblings would fall in love with Lady Rong, who lives in a neighboring land.
Probably because she felt lonely and weak.
He said: "Since she is alone, she can hire helpers. My siblings are getting older and they are less likely to work too hard. If they are really capable, I will ask Mrs. Rong if she is willing to work in our house. Her five acres of land are easy to talk to. Let's
I can help with the farming, and I can also help her keep an eye on things like finding her relatives."
Yan Laoer:......
Li Xuemei:......
Yan Yu:……
Looking for a relative!!!
Lao Yan, the boss, is so considerate!
But, it’s totally unnecessary!
However, now that the character has appeared, he must continue to act with gritted teeth.
"We'll see how she behaves in a few days," Yan Laoer said.
Yan Huaiwen's eyes showed a bit of disapproval.
But he thought about it and didn't say anything.
However, Yan Xiangheng and Daya helped to fight the injustice.
"Uncle, Aunt Rong is a very nice person. She works quickly and is diligent and clean." Yan Xiangheng commented pertinently.
Da Ya whispered: "Second uncle, Aunt Rong is very capable and can take care of people. You see, this table and stools were placed by Aunt Rong." Second Aunt sat down, feeling much more comfortable.
If she didn't say anything, Yan Huaiwen and Yan Laoer really wouldn't know.
They all thought it was done by family members.
Yan Huaiwen nodded slightly, feeling a little more satisfied.
Yan Laoer wanted to be a bad guy in vain and said with a dry smile: "If we are willing, we have to ask others if they are willing. Yes, I will take care of this, so don't worry about it."
Yan Laoer eats two of each pie. Well, it tastes good even after it's cooled.
With this skill, if you open a snack bar, the business will definitely be good.
Unfortunately, opening a store should not be within the scope of home services.
Although Yan Huaiwen ate slowly, he still ate as many as four.
After they finished eating, Yan Yu signaled Yan Xiangheng to speak.
Yan Xiangheng picked up the account book he kept and put it nervously in front of his father and second uncle.
"Dad, second uncle, this is the account of the red bricks our family sold today."
Yan Laoer was interested in this, his eyes were bright, he picked it up and turned it over.
"Let's take a look, yo! There are quite a few people buying it."
He scanned it quickly and quickly turned to the last page.
He grinned widely and said with a smile: "Haha! I sold so much, not bad, not bad. Heng'er remembers it clearly. Waiter, where is the money, do you think it's right?"
He was actually asking a redundant question. How could his daughter, a little money-lover, receive less money?
"Hehe! Uncle Daddy, look!" Yan Yu took out all the silver and copper coins.
"Not a penny bad."
Yan Laoer was the first to say: "This money is paid for by our family and the Qi family together. No matter how much we earn, we will share half of it."
Yan Huaiwen looked at the accounts and said with a headache: "It's not that bricks are difficult to order. Now that they are all sold, what about building a house tomorrow?"
"That's okay." Yan Laoer chuckled and said, "When we build a masonry house, we use stones as the base. I will bring back a few more carts of stones tomorrow. The big stones should be enough."
Yan Yu kept nodding beside her. She thought so too, so she sold the bricks boldly.
Besides, they were selling red bricks, but not a single blue brick.
Hehe, of course no one bought it.
As for the Qi family's house, Yan Yu is also planning it.
The Qi family does not plan to hire anyone and wants to build the house themselves.
But don't be anxious, it's best to see how her house is built first, secretly.
Then there is no harm in using these red bricks for the time being.
It's great to be able to earn some price difference.
"You are busy building a house, and it's not okay to rely on your siblings to do all the work in the fields." Yan Huaiwen said.
Li Xuemei blushed a little. It was all up to her. The children did more than her.
Yan Laoer said: "It's just these two or three days of busy work, so just come here at your convenience. I won't delay the work in the fields.
Today they and their wives have cleared half of the land. I plan to plow it out early tomorrow morning. The Qiwu wooden plow has been prepared for me. When I come back at noon, I will burn the grass and use the oxen to plow it again in the evening.
In this way, we can plant seeds the day after tomorrow.”
The time schedule is quite tight.
There are no other problems except that it's a bit expensive.
Yan Huaiwen felt sorry for him and said softly: "There's no need to be in such a hurry. We just cleared out half of the land and plowed it all together in two days."
Yan Laoer disagreed: "Clear out a piece of land and plant it one by one. Plant early and harvest early. I think the land next to the river is unmistakable and will grow vigorously."
What Yan Laoer didn't say was that after building a house and making money from the land, he could live a decent life.
What was it like in the past? I was poor, had negative equity, and had to run away.
Tears, I finally got through it.
