Chapter 1028 The lazy and evil sister-in-law of a blessed girl from a rural family (24)
Xu Yin refused to take the wages from them, saying that the food they ate was enough to cover the wages, so how could they ask for more wages?
Xu Yin packed a pound of dried fish for each of them, steamed it in a rice pot and ate it. Her pickled fish was a bit salty, so it went very well with rice.
The two villages are ten miles apart, neither far nor close. It takes a lot of effort to build a house during the day, and it would be too hard to drive ten miles in the morning and evening. Xu Yin arranged for them to live in the homes of Goudan and Tiewa.
There is no need for a bed in summer, just a straw mat on the floor.
After building the house and going back, Xu Yin returned the ration bags they had brought to them.
On the way back to Plum Blossom Village, several cousins carried dried fish and hooked Xu Sanqiu's shoulders and said:
"I didn't expect that Erya would change so much after getting married! It's really useless to worry!"
"This trip of help is really worth it! We have meat every meal for three days in a row! Third brother, next time something good like this happens, remember to come to us! We are brothers, right?"
"Yes, Sanqiu, brother, I have to thank you in advance. This is the first time I have eaten all-you-can-eat dry rice. The first meal I ate was white rice! This year's new rice is so fragrant!"
"You say this as if someone had to eat dry food before."
"You were just busy eating, didn't you listen to what Erya said, her family's rice production increased by a hundred catties this year? The rice harvest from two acres of land has caught up with other people's harvest from three acres of land."
"Yes! She also taught me how to fertilize and fertilize. She also said that as long as we follow her instructions, our land will also have such a good harvest."
“Try it when you get back!”
"Yes! Try it when you get back!"
"Speaking of which, Erya's food is so good, how come she has lost so much weight? On the first day, I was shocked. But having said that, she won't look ugly after she loses weight. On the contrary, she is very beautiful, unlike before.
, the eyes were squeezed into slits."
"Lao Wu, don't let her hear what you said, otherwise you will be in trouble."
"...I'll tell you in front of you, you won't betray me, right?"
"That's impossible to say, hahaha!"
"..."
Xu Yin looked at the clean new home and was filled with emotions.
In ancient times, houses were built very quickly. Three adobe houses were built in three days.
This was even after she deliberately requested that the foundation be dug deeper and that it would take half a day longer to lay the foundation stones for the pillars, otherwise it would have been done in two and a half days.
One advantage of building a house in the summer is that you don’t need to bake it, and you can move it in once it’s built.
The hot sun helped her bake every day, and the adobe was already completely dry.
Bamboo curtains were hung on the doors and windows, and one was hung on the beams of the main room. Just like the bedrooms and the main room were separated in the thatched house, this time the main room was divided into two rooms, the north and the south. The first half was used as a living room, where people could interact with people and weave bamboo utensils in their spare time.
The north half is used as a dining room. The kitchen is on the right when you go out the back door of the main room. It is connected to the corridor and eaves. It is only a few steps away. It is very convenient to prepare meals and carry them back to the house.
With the help of relatives, the furniture and common household items in the thatched house were moved here.
The thatched house has not been demolished. Before building a new house, Comrade Xiao Jin said that the open space to the east of the old house was also his family's homestead, but he didn't have the conditions, so he built a thatched house.
In this case, it is better to keep the thatched house. It will have a place to stay while the house is being built. After moving into the new house, it will be used as a firewood shed and storage room. The old stove is specially used for cooking pig food.
It's just that there were few pieces of furniture in the thatched house. After moving to the new house, the huge bedroom seemed empty.
But I heard from her father that there was an old carpenter in Meihua Village who made good beds and cabinets, and the most important thing was that he could carve patterns. When he was young, he followed his master to make dowry furniture for official ladies.
Xu Yin immediately took out ten taels of silver as a deposit and asked her father to find an old carpenter to help build a set of carved furniture, and try to use better wood.
In fact, her system warehouse has high-quality furniture wood and complete sets of furniture, including huanghuali wood, golden nanmu, and rosewood, but she can't take them out.
But it doesn’t matter if you buy a set now, otherwise it will become an antique in the future.
Xu Mancang took the money and was stunned.
Don’t you just need a cupboard and a cupboard? How come you have to buy a whole set?
He also asked for carvings...it's not like he's such a loser if he's rich!
But does Xu Mancang dare to say anything?
He couldn't resist this girl when she became fierce.
Let’s leave the headache to my son-in-law!
The key point was that he saw that his son-in-law was not unhappy at all, on the contrary, he was very happy. The young couple got together and murmured about what else they needed to buy besides a complete set of carved furniture...
It’s over!!!
The prodigal men and the prodigal women get together!
Xu Mancang staggered and returned to Plum Blossom Village with ten taels of silver in a complicated mood.
Xu Sanqiu and several cousins came back early and were already home.
They took out the dried fish and the rations they had brought with them, and talked about the food for the next three days, which shocked their families.
To be honest, the female relatives of these families are actually not happy for men to help Xu Erya build a house.
If the coolies are not enough, they have to bring their own food rations and send adobe bricks. How can it be so unfair!
Unexpectedly, I brought back no less rations, and even gained a pound of dried fish. It smelled salty and salty, so it was sure to go well with the meal.
Not only food and accommodation are provided during the period of help, but also fish and meat for every meal. Is the dry rice enough?
Xu Erya changed his surname?
"If I had known, I would have gone with him."
In the Xu family, after listening to the description of her grandson’s meals for the past three days, Mrs. Xu murmured enviously.
But I just muttered, and if I let her go, she would still be scared.
She didn't forget that before the second girl got married, she helped the family with some work, clamored for food, and threatened to smash the kitchen cupboards if she didn't, so she had better stay away to stay safe.
"Mom, Erya asked me to find Carpenter Cao from Hedong to customize a set of carved furniture. The deposit has been given. Should I go now?" After Xu Mancang got home, he filled a pot of water, wiped his mouth and went out.
The ten taels of silver in his arms were like a hot potato.
Before this, had he ever come into contact with such a large sum of money?
"Go ahead, go ahead." Mrs. Xu closed her eyes and waved her hands weakly.
How could she not be jealous of these ten taels of silver?
But when he thought that it was Xu Erya's hob meat that could kill people when it rose up, no matter how jealous he was, he didn't dare to reach out and cut off her money to supplement his son and grandson. It would be better to just ignore it.
Xu Yin didn't know that she was just as evil in the eyes of her parents' family. She was currently receiving the two giants of Dawa Village - the patriarch and Li Zheng.
"From the Meng Jin family, I heard that you have figured out a fertilization method that can increase rice yield per acre?"
The two of them had actually heard of this rumor a long time ago, but like most villagers, they didn't believe it at first. It wasn't until the rice harvest and rapeseed fell that they truly realized: Meng Jin's wife was not bragging, she was really
A new retting method that can increase the yield of food crops has been devised.
Now, where can I sit still?
I've thought about it for a long time.
After finally waiting for her new house to be built and all the relatives who helped her had left, she immediately came to the house.
