Chapter 40 Lizheng took a fancy to these bluestone bricks
Chapter 40 Li Zheng fell in love with these bluestone bricks
Seeing Uncle Wang staring at the five taels of silver in his hand and thinking about paying it, he said nothing.
Xing Rui said hurriedly,
"It doesn't matter, it's not enough for me to make these days."
Seeing Xing Rui making it so easy to make money, Uncle Wang couldn't help but say a few words.
"Girl, how can you make money as easily as you think? You were lucky enough to meet the second young master of Mr. Li's wife's family, so you have these five taels of silver in your hand.
Keep it well and don't let anyone see it. It's enough to save money on flowers.
You have prepared wood, sand and gravel yourself, and you will be able to get enough in autumn."
Autumn? She can't wait until that time. Xing Rui can't wait to build her house tomorrow.
No need to live in that shabby and dark house.
"Uncle Wang, I have thought about the money. The medicine shop in the town collects medicinal materials. When I go up the mountain to chop wood, I will buy some and sell them back."
When Xing Rui said this, he actually had other plans in mind.
That is to sell the silver jewelry in her hand, and she will build this house as soon as possible.
"Well, get ready first. I also know that your house may not be able to survive the rainy season. Uncle will go over and help you take off the adobe when he has time."
"As for you, I would be very grateful if you gave me some advice. Uncle, please sit down and take a break. I will do the rest."
This time, before Uncle Wang could say anything, Xing Rui picked up the pickaxe and started digging up the ground.
With the strength of the original owner, Xing Rui finished it in one breath, and when he raised his head again, only half of the land was left.
It was already getting late at this time. I looked around and Uncle Wang was rubbing his old waist.
As he was digging the ground with the shovel in his hand, Xing Rui walked over.
"Uncle Wang, it's getting dark. Let's go home."
"You go back and cook for the children first, I'll be working on it for a while."
"It would be great if there was an old scalper here. I wouldn't have to work so hard to dig up the ground."
Xing Rui looked at an old scalper in the field in the distance and sighed. It was the only old scalper in the village.
When I have nothing to do, I go to town to make money, and when I am free, I can plow and cultivate the land for myself.
Even if someone pays for it, they will help plow and plow the land.
This is quite a profit after one year.
It's a pity that the same old man, this awesome old man, can't compare with Uncle Wang. He is obsessed with money.
He only recognizes money and not people, so don't even think about using his ox cart to plow the land in vain.
"Uncle Wang, just wait. When Xing Rui gets rich, he will definitely buy an old scalper, and then I will ask you, Uncle Wang, to drive the car.
The land has been plowed and plowed. By then we will have old scalpers ourselves, so we won’t need to make others suffer so much."
"Hehehe... Go back. The children are hungry. You won't be here anymore. Didn't your brother give you the land?"
You should also look through it and buy some seeds and come back to see what you can plant."
"Okay, I'll go back to Uncle Niu first. Don't do it too late. Auntie should be worried at home alone."
After walking out of Uncle Wang's field and walking back, seeing the original owner Silly Mother's eldest brother and father still working in the fields, Xing Rui hurried over with her head lowered.
As soon as she returned to the yard, she saw eyes popping up on the chimney. Xing Rui felt a little suspicious and walked quickly towards the house.
But he saw Liang Weiwei squatting at the door of the stove licking firewood. When she saw Xing Rui coming back, she hurriedly stood up.
"Mom, are you back?"
"Weiwei, are you cooking?"
Xing Rui looked at six-year-old Weiwei in disbelief. If Xing Zihe had not undergone surgery,
It is not a problem for him to cook, but Weiwei is still a child after all, how can she cook?
"Mom, this is Grandma Wang. She said you were helping her family with work, so she came over to help us cook.
They also brought a lot of dried vegetables, used a lot of lard to cook us a big pot of dried vegetables, and put corn tortillas on them.
I just need to finish burning these fires, and Grandma Wang said the food will be ready."
"My Weiwei is really good. When she grows up, she can cook."
Xing Rui stroked the little girl's head lovingly twice and was about to walk inside.
A little thing rushed over from outside the door.
"Mom, I even helped the second sister carry firewood."
"Okay, okay, my little Duoduo is also a diligent and good boy. Are you hungry? Let's eat."
Xing Rui leaned over and picked up Xing Duoduo, walked over and looked at her eldest son Xing Zihe first.
"Zihe, how are you feeling today?"
"Mom, it doesn't hurt anymore, I'm almost healed."
"Silly boy, it can't be healed so quickly. I'll give you another shot tonight."
Looking back, Xing Rui looked at Liang Sheng, who had sat up and leaned against the wall.
"And you?"
"I'm afraid I fell a little during the day and my head is a little dizzy."
Xing Rui sneered in her heart, this man was not as strong as a child.
"Weiwei scoops water to wash hands and eat."
After washing the little guy's hands, Xing Rui opened the pot and looked at the large pot of yellow and tender pancakes, and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
I found the basket I had brought from my parents’ house that day and picked out all the dry food in the pot.
They found a large bowl and filled each person with a large bowl of dried vegetables.
There was no dining table at home, so everyone had a bowl of vegetable soup and a corn tortilla, and that was how dinner started.
"After you left, Li Zheng came here."
Liang Sheng picked up his rice bowl and spoke slowly. Xing Rui sat on the threshold and looked at him.
"What did you say?"
“I didn’t say anything, so I just came in and took a walk, looked at the food left in the house, looked at a few children, and then looked at me.
Before leaving, he told me that he was the upright person in this village, and then he looked outside for a long time."
"mother,"
Xiao Duoduo stood up and said, as if hurriedly reporting,
"I was playing outside, and that person asked me if my mother had brought all these things back?"
"Oh, what did you say?"
Xing Rui looked at the little thing and asked her with a smile.
"I said that my mother brought them all back from the town. My mother is amazing. I even showed him my shoes and new clothes.
That grandpa even touched my head and said I was so good."
"Well, my little Duoduo is a well-behaved and cute little girl. No one will dislike you. Let's eat."
Little Duoduo became even more happy after being praised so much. She sat down cross-legged and started to eat the food with big mouthfuls.
"I think I'm here to see how you build a house. I'm afraid someone will be jealous of those bluestone bricks you made."
Liang Sheng's faint words also reminded Xing Rui.
Really? If Li Zheng had something to say, he should have made it clear when he was face to face, but why did Mao have to go home in person?
It seems that Liang Sheng is right, Li came here just for the bluestone bricks in his home.
"Be careful,"
Liang Sheng said this sentence lukewarmly.
"What do you mean? Is there anyone else who wants to steal it?"
"You are not afraid of stealing, but you are afraid of taking it away blatantly, and you don't dare to say no."
"Are you saying that Li Zheng is interested in these bluestone bricks of mine?"
