She drummed on the table, wondering what else the family needed. Second Aunt had already gone to buy the food and taken care of the furniture. After she left, everyone in the village was sweeping the snow in front of their door, while the children were sweeping the cement road that ran from the official road all the way to their house. Tomorrow would probably be sunny, and the snow had stopped falling since this morning, so the villagers had climbed onto the roof to sweep the snow. Since their roof was made of cement, this saved them some trouble.

Before she knew it, she had arrived at Qiu Zhen's house. At that moment, her family was also cleaning the snow in the yard. Seeing Tong Wen Yao, Qiu Zhen just waved happily.

"Yao'er, long time no see." She jumped in the snow, her smile as bright as the sun. Tong Wenyao remembered that she was a little timid when they first met, but after being raised by her second aunt for so long, her temperament became much more cheerful.

"Yao'er, after the New Year, I told Dad to build a house exactly like yours so that we don't have to climb onto the roof to sweep the snow."

Tong Wen Yao glanced at the roof and saw that the snow had been cleared.

"Okay, I can give you an internal discount price then."

After hearing this, Qiu Zhen excitedly held Tong Wenyao's hand and said, "Then it's settled. My father has gone to the south and I don't know when he will be back. But I have saved some money, which should be enough to build a house."

Tong Wenyao said, "If we build a house, if the area is not large, it will cost five taels of silver per house. If it is simply renovated, ten taels of silver will be added to the base. If it is renovated, it will be more expensive, one tael of silver per square meter."

But if it's your case, I can ask my brothers to waive the renovation fee and just build you a house and do the renovations. Qiu Zhen said hastily, "How can this be possible? How can you make money?"

Tong Wenyao leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I make money from other people, not from you."

Qiu Zhen felt a little touched after hearing this. The money she earned was given by her family, and now that they wanted to build a house, she offered such a low price.

Before the Tong family came, she worried about food and clothing every day. After the Tong family came, she not only learned to read and read account books, but also paid off all the debts owed by her mother.

She opened her arms and said, "Yao'er, I want to hug you, can I?" Tong Wenyao was a little puzzled, but when she saw a hint of sadness in her eyes, she took the initiative to move into her arms. After Qiu Zhen felt the warmth in her arms, she murmured, "Why couldn't my mother wait for this day?"

Tong Wenyao reached out and hugged her and said, "Qiuzhen, don't be sad, you are still us."

Qiu Zhen smiled after hearing this, "I'm not sad, I just felt a little emotional for a moment."

The next day, early in the morning, many women in the village came to her backyard, some cooking and some making fire.

Tong Wen Yao was lazy for once. Many men in the front yard went to the ancestral hall to move tables and set them up. Since it was not snowing, the tables could be placed outdoors. Otherwise, they would have to put up oilcloth.

Dongzi drove the sheep here yesterday afternoon, and brought Wen Ziyu with him, and is now helping to slaughter the sheep.

The lamb for the hot pot was a young one, and the three for the roasting were older ones. Tong Wen Yao took out cumin powder and barbecue powder from the space. These were the must-haves for her barbecue in the wild in her previous life.

Outside the courtyard gate, the screams of a pig being slaughtered rang out. Tong Wenyao looked down from the second floor and saw the pig being slaughtered. The white knife stabbed in and the red knife came out. The pig was tied up with its hands and feet, and four or five people were holding it down, helplessly waiting to be slaughtered. On the other side, Wen Ziyu was slaughtering a sheep. Compared to the pig slaughter, Wen Ziyu was much faster and more efficient. He killed it with one blow. The sheep didn't even struggle and fell to the ground.

This may also be because Wen Ziyu has been killing a lot over the years, so she is more professional.

Seeing Tong Wenyao so interested in slaughtering pigs, Xing'er couldn't help but say, "Miss, please sit down quickly. I'll comb your hair so you can see it more clearly."

Tong Wen Yao shook her head after hearing this. The fishy smell of slaughtered pigs was quite strong, not to mention sheep. She couldn't stand the smell. These could only be viewed from a distance and not up close.

Of course, if she encountered these in the forest, she would definitely not be disgusted.

Seeing the white sheep, she couldn't help but miss Xiaoxue. Ever since she went to Cangzhou and left it here, she hasn't seen Xiaoxue since she came back, and she doesn't know when it will come back.

She took out Guaiguai, applied medicine to it, and put it back into the space. It had been snowing these days and it was so cold, and Guaiguai didn't like it, so after Tong Wen Yao took Guaiguai out, she usually put it on her wrist and covered it with her sleeves, or put Guaiguai on her stomach and wrapped it around her waist.

Tong Wenyao sat in front of the mirror and watched Xing'er tie her hair. Soon, a hairstyle similar to Tom Cat appeared. Xing'er said as she tied her hair, "Miss, this is a double spiral bun. It makes you look smart and quirky, and you look smart and spiritual."

I have to say that the hairstyle that Xing Er manages with her deft hands looks really good. Her eyes are a bit like phoenix eyes with upturned corners, which matches this hairstyle and makes her look noble and cool.

Tong Wenyao gave her a thumbs up, "Xing'er, you're awesome!"

Xing'er was always by her side, and was used to hearing her say some weird things, so she also knew that what the young lady meant was something powerful.

After putting on her clothes, Tong Wen Yao went out. At this time, people were coming and going in the yard, and there were several people sitting in the hall. Tong Wen Yao looked from a distance and found that they were the elders of the village, and the village chief was sitting next to them, and her second uncle was in charge of the conversation.

After Tong Wen Yao went out, she found Wen Ziyu was teaching someone how to cut a sheep, and he was standing beside him demonstrating. Tong Wen Yao remembered that the person he was teaching was Uncle Jia, and she had a deep impression of the last incident.

After seeing how skillfully they were cutting, Wen Ziyu looked at Tong Wen Yao who was standing beside him. Because the county magistrate was coming today, Tong Wen Yao had asked Xing'er to give her a nicer hairstyle. Now she looked like an elf that had fallen into the human world.

Tong Wenyao ran up to him excitedly and asked, "Tzuyu, how do you like my hairstyle today? Xing'er did it for me."

Wen Ziyu took a look, turned his head away and said, "It looks very beautiful." But his face was a little red.

She was a little happy to hear this, "Of course not, Xing'er spent more than half an hour making it for me, it's so cute."

After hearing the compliment, Tong Wenyao jumped to her second brother and continued to ask him,

"Brother, is my hairstyle cute?" Tong Bo glanced at Tong Wenyao and said with a smile, "Sister, didn't you dislike this hairstyle when you were in Beijing?"

After hearing this, Tong Wenyao tilted her head and thought about it. Is that true? That's because the original owner didn't like it! However, Tong Bo didn't spoil her fun and praised her, "Very cute, as quirky as a kitten."

Tong Bo felt that she looked like a child now, and she was too mature before.
