Soon, those who doubted it figured it out. Li Pozi and Xiao Nian must have borrowed from Geng Jiaguang.
Anyway, after Mrs. Li dies, the house will belong to Xiaonian. If Xiaonian marries Geng Feng, the house will belong to Geng Feng.
Because of this, the Geng family was not reluctant to lend Li Pozi some light. Of course, his family didn't suffer any loss either.
These people could never have imagined that they were all wrong.
Qin Nian did not build the house with Geng Jiaguang's help. He earned one thousand taels of silver with his superb medical skills. Not only could he build a house and buy a cart, he could also buy a lot of food.
It's just that he is low-key and afraid of getting himself into trouble, so he doesn't tell anyone.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the three men began to pick up stones, choosing slightly flatter ones as they would be easier to build on.
After picking up a full cart, Geng Feng pushed it home, while Geng Zhenhai and Xiao Nian continued to pick up trash.
While Geng Zhenhai was not paying attention, Xiao Nian threw a lot of stones into the space. After returning, he quietly moved them out of the space, which saved a lot of trouble.
One afternoon, Geng Feng pushed three carts of stones home and unloaded them on the open space to the right of his front door.
The sweat of the three people wet the setting sun. In the red glow, Geng Feng and Geng Zhenhai pushed the second cart of stones back.
Qin Nian followed behind. The three of them were very tired but also very happy.
Ye Meizi and Li Pozi were cooking dinner at home. Ye Meizi took some pickled wild boar meat, washed off the salt with water, and then put it in an iron pot and boiled it until it was soft.
Qin Nian went to the county town in the morning and bought a large piece of tofu.
When stewing tofu, I added two pounds of tender wild boar meat. As soon as the pot boiled, the aroma filled the air.
Mrs. Li cut two large bowls of green and red peppers into small pieces and put a large spoonful of lard in the pot.
When the lard is boiling, add the chopped chilies in the pan and stir-fry. When they are almost cooked, add a few spoons of soybean paste.
Tear the steamed eggplants into small strips and stir-fry them in the pan. When they are almost done, sprinkle a handful of chopped coriander and immediately remove from the pan and serve in a small clay pot.
The spicy and refreshing chili sauce is ready. You can eat it for several days once you make it.
Dinner was corn stubble porridge with red rice beans. It was sticky, soft and delicious.
Geng's house is more spacious, so the dining table is set up in his room.
After Geng's father and son and Qin Nian returned home, they washed their heads and faces and started eating dinner around the table.
We were eating and laughing at the same time, it was really fun.
Qin Nian ate quickly. After finishing his meal, he came out of the house and went outside the yard, taking the opportunity to move the stones out of the space.
There was about one more cart, but it wasn't noticeable at all.
Qin Nian smiled proudly.
The next day, Ye Meizi and Li Pozi got up while the stars were still on guard in the sky.
Two people were in the yard, quietly making breakfast.
Last night, Mrs. Li mixed the dough according to the ratio of two bowls of white flour to one bowl of corn flour.
Ye Meizi was also helping. She removed the core of the dates, chopped them up and put them into the noodles, then covered the basin with a small quilt.
In the morning, Ye Meizi steamed a pot of steamed cakes made of 20 grams of flour and jujubes.
Mrs. Li cooked some rice porridge and scooped half a bowl of yesterday's chili sauce.
When Geng's father and son and Qin Nian woke up, breakfast was already ready. They simply set up the dining table in the yard and ate a delicious breakfast in the dim light of the morning.
Geng's father and son and Qin Nian pushed the cart and headed to the foot of the mountain.
Geng Zhenhai had an injured leg, and Geng Feng was afraid that he would overexert himself and develop a chronic condition, so he refused to let him push the cart.
Geng Zhenhai had no choice but to continue picking up stones with Xiao Nian, while Geng Feng pushed them home.
In this way, the three people got up early and worked late, picking up stones and pushing stones, and worked for seven or eight days in a row.
Geng Zhenhai estimated and thought it should be enough. The village head also helped to estimate and confirmed that there were enough stones.
Next, we need to buy blue bricks.
Qin Nian asked Geng Zhenhai to go to the county town to inquire about the price of blue bricks and compare prices from different stores.
She and Geng Feng went up the mountain. The weather was so hot that the land in the valley was probably short of water.
The seeds planted more than ten days ago have all sprouted, growing tall and green.
Both of them had bright smiles on their faces.
Geng Feng's smile was like a tall poplar tree, and Qin Nian's smile was like a sunflower with its head held high. These "one tree and one flower" were more energetic in watering the land, and they didn't feel tired at all.
After watering the fields for two days, on the third morning, Geng Zhenhai and Geng Feng went to the county town together to buy blue bricks.
Qin Nian didn't go. She wanted to rest at home and find a chance to go into the space and take a comfortable warm bath.
In the afternoon, Geng Zhenhai and Geng Feng hired a horse carriage and brought back a large cart of blue bricks.
Many people in the village came to see, some were envious, but more were confused.
How come the Geng family is so rich? That’s right, Geng Feng must have caught some valuable prey.
Dong Biao also heard that Geng's family was going to rebuild their house and even bought some bricks.
He waved his arms at home and shouted, "Geng Feng, that big snake, must have sold for a lot of silver.
Otherwise, how could he build a house with his poor appearance? Maybe he found a snake den and caught a few to sell."
Li Erhui sniffed hard a few times and said, "Well, I just held on that day and the infertility was over.
I raised my hand and grabbed the snake's head, then took it home, and the snake was ours."
Mrs. Dong, who was sitting on the kang, curled her lips and said, "Don't brag. If you had that ability, you wouldn't have run away even if you got two injections when you went to Geng Feng's house that day.
Geng Feng has to pay you back for all the money he made from selling the snake, so how can he build a house?"
Li Erhui was so angry that her face turned red and she turned around and walked out.
No one expected that she didn't run away in anger, but went to get something. Soon, Li Erhui came in as fast as the wind.
He shone the needle in his hand on the soles of Mrs. Dong's feet.
Mrs. Dong: “Ah——”
There was a howl, and the tail sound filled the whole house and floated to the top of the east mountain, scaring away more than a hundred birds in the treetops.
Li Erhui's eyes were filled with ferocity: "Mom, you always say that I am incompetent.
Your foot retracts faster than anyone else's. Don't you have no ability? If you stretch out that foot, I will prick it again, and I guarantee you will retract it.
That day, Li Pozi's Xiao Nian stabbed me twice."
“Ah——”
Mrs. Dong didn't bother to scold Li Erhui and continued to howl while holding her feet.
Dong Biao was furious: "Er Hui, are you crazy? How dare you prick my feet with a needle?"
Li Erhui was not convinced: "Your mother said that she is capable and can remain motionless even if stabbed."
"When did my mother say that?"
"If you didn't hear what I just said, you're deaf. I heard it."
While Li Erhui was arguing, she felt something was wrong with her hand.
She raised her hand and saw that the needle was broken.
Li Erhui reacted quickly this time. She turned around and went to the kitchen and threw the small piece of needle in her hand into the stove pit.
Whether the broken needle on the sole of Mrs. Dong's foot can be discovered or taken away has nothing to do with her.
If it wasn't her, she wouldn't tell Mrs. Dong.
Mrs. Dong took a deep breath and tried to move her legs twice to see the soles of her feet, but she failed because her legs were too stiff to bend.
"Old man, please help me check if the sole of my foot is bleeding?"
Mrs. Dong gave an instruction to Dong Hu's wife.
