Chapter 44 Burning the bottom of the pot

 A son is better known than his father, and vice versa.

Guo Dake first calmed his father's emotions, and then said to his wife:

"Don't worry about the red brick money. The child Huizi adopted has thirty acres of land. Huizi said that in the next five years, the spring plowing and autumn harvest of these thirty acres of land will be under our control, and we will be given 20% of the food every year.

The remaining 20% ​​is counted as brick money."

"Ah...ah...ah..."

Father Guo kept shouting excitedly. Guo Dake nodded hurriedly and said:

"I know, I know. Huizi admitted that he helped our family on purpose. He was worried that after passing the scientific examination, no one would take care of the house and land in the village. His uncle was far away from home and couldn't take care of him, and the Li family had another problem with him.

I can’t deal with it. So I want to ask you to help take care of it when the time comes. Now he helps us, and we will try our best to help him in the future. In the future, we will look for more supplements on the eggs and do our best."

Guo Da is not a character who takes advantage of others, but currently his abilities are limited and he can only do his best.

After all, I still hold my breath and want to live a good life and make my three ungrateful brothers regret it.

After patiently explaining to his family, he went to borrow a car from Jiang Lizheng.

He was well-connected, and the family had indeed been wronged after the separation. When it came to building a house, Jiang Jianye immediately asked his two sons to help. Dong Cheng, Li Qingshan and others also came to help after hearing the news.

The commotion was huge, even bigger than when Li Hui adopted Yan Yixin.

Especially when the red bricks were moved out from the backyard of Li Hui's house one after another, it was almost impossible to keep a low profile.

Some members of the Li clan came over and were extremely jealous after hearing the news. Guo Dake didn't hide it, he just said that he bought it with his own money. No matter how much it cost, it was better than those who didn't want to spend money and insisted on it.

Except for the other three brothers of the Guo family, the second brother went to his father-in-law's house with his wife and children, while the third and fourth brothers stayed in Wanghe Village.

There are several dilapidated houses in the north of the village that no one wants. If you say hello to the village and give some food, you can move there.

As for whether they regret it later, only they themselves know.

Anyway, Guo Dake must be very sad when there is such a big news about the family separation.

No matter how much the brothers fall out with each other, they can't ignore their father, but these three not only ignored him, they didn't even ask.

Fortunately, the foundation was not damaged when building the house, and only bricks were laid on the original foundation.

Three days passed in a flash, and the forest farm continued to work. The Guo family's house was not finished, so Guo Dake asked for leave from the forest farm and worked at home.

Fortunately, he had a good father-in-law, who not only brought his sons to help, but also provided money to build the window frames and beams.

After half a month, the outer frame has been erected, and only the beams, tiles, and other chores such as setting up a kang in the house and building a fire wall are left.

Every time the villagers pass by, they all admire Father Yang. After all, not many people can do this for their married daughters. It can be said that there are very few in the world.

The Houshan Forest Farm is now completely taken over by Xiao Qinglin's second uncle, Xiao Feng. The original accounting room is still used by the shopkeeper, and several new ones have been added, including Yu Zhao, led by Li Hui.

A discerning person will know at a glance that he is preparing to succeed Li Hui. After all, he has to take the scientific examination.

Under Xu Geng's vigorous propaganda, everyone in the village knew that the Li family boy who had given up on facing reality was now going to fight again.

Some are waiting to see the joke, and some are waiting to see the effect.

Anyway, these have nothing to do with Li Hui. He goes to work on the forest farm during the day and goes home to study hard in the study at night.

Just for the coming year's scientific examination, I will be the first to be a scholar, so I don't have to kneel when I meet an official, and I don't have to call myself a "grassroots" anymore.

Ever since Yan Yixin came home, Li Hui's family began to share tables for meals. There were two tables in the east and west rooms, and Li Huai was in the east room, being taken care of by his two brothers.

Cheng Xue put it down and was about to leave, but was grabbed by Li Hui.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, just before work today, Dake brother told me that the forest farm will be closed the day after tomorrow, and his house will have a beam, and he would like to invite us over for dinner."

This is called "burning the bottom of the pot" in Liangyan, and it is a great event for those who build a house.

"Then you ask his family if he needs anything?"

"I asked, but he didn't say anything. But I ordered a vat from Lao Wang's family, and I don't think his family has any sauerkraut."

Oh, you are so careful and you noticed all this.

Cheng Xue understood what he meant and took out twenty copper coins from her waist and gave it to him.

"If one doesn't look good, I have to give two away."

"Then you will come with me after dinner? His tank is ready, so Wang Liang can send it over."

"Okay, let's talk after dinner."

Cheng Xue turned around and went out. Li Hui put the copper plate in his arms, filled it with rice and picked up vegetables.

At first Yan Yixin was surprised to see this situation, but after this period of time together, he has become completely accustomed to it.

Uncle Li and Aunt Li are different in raising children, and their relationship as husband and wife is also different. In other families, the man is the head of the family and manages the money, but here it is just the opposite.

After dinner, Li Hui and Cheng Xue went to Wangjiatun across from Guandao.

The whole village has been making vats for generations, and people from eight villages from ten miles away come here to buy them, making them well-known in the town. However, the whole village is not a businessman, because they do not resell.

Just like an old farmer, selling vegetables from his own field does not count as a business, but if you fry the vegetables and then sell them, it doesn't count.

Cheng Xue didn't know how business registration was defined in history, but this fictional Liangyan Dynasty was quite interesting.

The water tank reaches her chest, which is more than enough for pickling pickled vegetables. It costs ten cents each, and two of them are exactly twenty cents.

When we followed the car to Guo Dake's house, it was already dark. Without disturbing anyone, Li Hui, Guo Dake, and the two delivery brothers moved the water tank into the new house in one trip.

In fact, everything in the house is ready, and we will just wait for the symbolic intention of raising the beams the day after tomorrow.

This is the second time Cheng Xue came here after the building was built. The first time the fire wall was built and the fire kang was missing. The kang has been dried and can be occupied at any time.

"...these cabinets and boxes were made by my three younger brothers, and the wood was advanced by the child's father at the forest farm with wages." Yang introduced the house to her in a brisk tone.

Cheng Xue listened and watched, occasionally touching the cabinets and other things.

"The east end was specially annexed to create a bathing room. I learned from your family. Come and take a look?"

"Okay." Cheng Xue nodded with a smile.

Since Guo Dake's family built a house, the couple's mood has gotten better and better, and their energy for life has returned.

In just half a month, it is not easy for the two of them to come out so quickly.

"My father gave us the water tank in this house. Now that you have given us two more tanks, my family really doesn't need to buy another tank."

When Yang said this, he took Cheng Xue's hand and said:

"Sister, we as husband and wife are grateful to you from the bottom of our hearts, but we are dumb and don't know how to say nice things. Anyway, don't worry about the next spring plowing. The thirty acres of land will definitely serve the best in the village, better than my family."

Cheng Xue believed these simple words. He shook her hand and said:

"Your family and Brother Dong Cheng's family are the only ones who have been with us over the years. As long as you two live a good life, we and my wife will be happy. Thirty acres of land are given to Brother Dake and his sister-in-law. We are both relieved, and so is Brother Xin.



Yang's eyes were red with excitement, and she held her hand tightly, holding on for a long time...
