It only took Li Hui and the others half a day to renovate the west room.
Of course, Dong Cheng and Guo Da are the main players, and Li Hui is just a make-up.
The fire wall in the west room was moved forward a few inches to build two large stoves. The shelves in the room were moved to the outhouse, and the large bathtub was placed in the inner room.
Dong Cheng opened the front and rear windows and said:
"Let's light up the fire at noon tomorrow and use it normally in the evening. Or you two will think about getting a separate room."
"That's because the population is small. Our family is not good enough. How can we have a room dedicated to bathing." Guo Dake said and looked at it, his eyes full of envy.
Both of them live with their parents and have not separated.
Dong Cheng is better than Guo Dake. At least the couple has their own house and does not live with their children. The same cannot be said for Guo Dake. A family of four sleeps on the same kang, which is why he has the fewest children.
.
Back in the east room, Li Yue had already laid out the food.
Braised pork and potatoes, pork belly and beans, stewed fish, roasted chicken, fried eggs, cold eggplant.
There are six dishes, the only vegetarian one is eggplant salad, but it is very rich.
"Oh, brothers and sisters, this... this is such a blessing!" Guo Dake was a little at a loss.
Dong Cheng didn't want to go to the kang at all, "Your food is too hard, I'm afraid it will scratch my teeth."
"Don't make trouble, two big brothers. You have been busy all morning. You carried Huizi back last time. I don't think it is enough! Hurry up and get on the kang and eat more. You are welcome."
After Cheng Xue finished speaking, not long after she left, she took back the hot knife and put it on the table and said:
"Open up and drink. It's been an afternoon. If you drink too much, just lie here and sleep."
"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law!"
The two of them smiled and thanked each other, and then looked at Li Hui with meaningful eyes.
No one in the whole village can find such a willing little wife. I have to say that he is really lucky!
Cheng Xue returned to the West House. The dishes in both houses were the same, which was better than the Li family’s New Year’s Eve dinner.
Li Heng looked at it with gleaming eyes and said in disbelief:
"Mom, do we really...really eat these? Just eat them? Didn't I dream?"
"Then pinch yourself and see if it hurts."
Cheng Xue deliberately made a joke, but she didn't expect that Li Heng actually pinched herself.
"Hiss——"
"Pinch it gently, why are you doing so hard?" Cheng Xue was speechless, taking his arm and kneading it gently, "You, don't be such a loser. You can not only eat four dishes, but you can also eat six."
!"
Li Yue smiled, put vegetables into Cheng Xue's bowl, and put chicken legs for his brother and sister.
Cheng Xue specially bought two roast chickens just to satisfy the children.
Li Heng stuffed a piece of braised pork into his mouth, chewing and exclaiming "ahhh..." in an exaggerated way. In the end, Li Yue couldn't stand it anymore and slapped him in the face, and then he stopped.
Li Huai was sleeping soundly, and without his interruption, the four mothers ate peacefully and satisfactorily.
When Cheng Xue was full, she went to the east room to take a look. She was still eating here.
Dong Cheng and Guo Dake were all red in the face after drinking, but Li Hui remained calm and calm.
The mixed eggplant on the table was gone, and most of the meat, fish, and roast chicken were also removed, but there was more left than in the west room.
Li Hui dragged her to him and lowered his voice and said:
"Fried some peanuts and mixed with two cold dishes. Remove these. They are too cold to be eaten."
When you drink to a certain extent, you won’t want to eat big fish or meat. It’s best to eat some refreshing side dishes.
Not long after Cheng Xue went out, she brought fried peanuts, cucumbers, cold eggplant, and soy sauce tofu to the table.
"Oh my brother and sister, you are so talented. I have to let my family learn from you when I go back."
"Yes, this eggplant mix is delicious. I have time to teach my wife. Xiangni always washes the pot with water when cooking, which is not delicious."
Dong Cheng was really drunk, his voice was louder than usual, and he even called his wife by her nickname.
"Eggplants are not expensive things. Third brother, if you want to eat them, come here. I will cook them for you anytime. Mother Shuanzi can cook, it's just like washing a pot of water."
"It doesn't look like it, Lao Nan...burp - I ate it, hehe..."
Cheng Xue removed the cold dishes and closed the door of the east room.
Fortunately, Mrs. Dong Xu didn't hear it, otherwise she wouldn't be able to scratch him? When they got married, there were twists and turns. If the wife hadn't stepped forward, I'm afraid they wouldn't have gotten together at all.
In the west room, Li Yue has already started cutting cloth.
Cheng Xue walked to the kang with a smile and praised:
"My daughter is a talented person and is good at everything she does."
Li Yuetian smiled lightly, rubbed her shoulder affectionately, and continued working.
Cheng Xue didn't dare to intervene, even if she had the memory of the original owner.
Cotton cloth is too expensive, and she is afraid that it will be damaged if she cuts it.
Dongwu didn't leave until the beginning of the Youshi period. Dong Cheng was completely exhausted and was helped home by Li Hui and Guo Dake.
The house was in a mess and smelled of alcohol.
No need to shout, the two children took the initiative to come over to work.
Li Heng put up the north and south windows for ventilation, while Li Yue picked up the table and washed the dishes.
Cheng Xue folded the leftover vegetables into a basin, added bran and wheat bran, and went to the backyard to feed the chickens.
Some of them didn't like laying eggs anymore, so she planned to kill them after the snow fell and stew them with sauerkraut and mushrooms for the children to eat in the winter.
Li Hui came back after seeing the people off, hung up the Yuan Gate, and went straight to the west room of the head.
The stove dries out quickly, but the fire wall still has to dry out.
Cheng Xue saw him scratching his neck and walked over and said:
"Why don't I boil two pots of water for you to wash yourself in the main room? Don't stand still."
I went out to exercise for five consecutive days and came back sweating every day. It was definitely uncomfortable.
"Forget it, it's just one day." Li Hui shook his head, not embarrassed to bother her, "Did things go smoothly? How many Sitong banks are there in the town?"
"There are two of them. The day after tomorrow I will go to town to grab medicine and exchange it at that bank. You can go to work tomorrow and ask the shopkeeper where there is a dog seller. I have been feeling uneasy lately and always feel like something is going to happen."
Before time travel, she was materialistic, but now she is also a bit idealistic.
Li Hui doesn't believe in any sixth sense, but he will do what his teammates tell him.
"Then you give me two dollars. If there is something suitable tomorrow, I will buy it directly."
"You take it yourself...just a key?"
Li Hui nodded and said with confidence:
"We have agreed that I will be the outsider and you will be the inside, so of course the money will be yours to take care of. You said that we are both time travellers. Will we go up the mountain and fall down to pick up a root of thousand-year-old ginseng like the article on the female channel did?"
/p>
Cheng Xue was a little unconvinced by such teasing. What do you mean by "like a female channel's online writing"? Female channel's online writing must also be pragmatic!
"You go up the mountain every day, why don't you try tomorrow?"
Li Hui chuckled "Haha..." and got back to the topic:
"Have you bought any vegetables? What did you buy?"
"I bought more basic vegetables, but not tomatoes and corn."
I went to the grocery store to buy vegetable seeds specifically to understand the crops here. Although they are not professionals in agriculture and livestock, they still have basic common sense to avoid misunderstandings and trouble in the future.
The reason why the western outhouse is so large is to fill in the soil and grow vegetables for the children in winter...
