It’s not that the previous master was bad, the previous master was also very good to them, but they never did anything to condescend to others. They had maids and servants by their side, so why would they need to do it themselves?
The three of them worked together to move a few baskets of things, and they were soon finished. The coachman was still dizzy when he drove the carriage away.
Xu Taohua looked at the oranges in the basket and saliva began to flow from her mouth. Just as she was about to reach out and pick one up, Bai Yao beside her had already picked one up and handed it to her.
"Thank you, Ayao."
After taking a bite, his eyes lit up. Chen Li saw it and asked with a smile, "Sister-in-law, is it delicious?"
"Mm, it's delicious and very appetizing."
As the fetus in her belly grew bigger, she felt more and more tired recently, and even ate much less. But after eating this orange today, she felt her appetite was instantly opened.
Lin Cuicui was quite happy to hear this. She also picked one up, took a bite, and then narrowed her eyes.
Seeing this, Chen Li suppressed a smile and said, "Mom, my sister-in-law is pregnant, so the taste will be a little different from ours."
Lin Cuicui swallowed the orange and ate another slice. "A-Li, this orange is a bit sour at first, but it becomes sweeter as you eat it."
"Yeah?"
"Well, you try it."
As she spoke, she dropped a squeeze of orange onto Chen Li's lips. Chen Li opened her mouth and took a bite. As soon as she bit into it, a sour feeling rushed straight to the top of her head.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He never expected that his own mother could be so...naughty.
"Is it tasty?"
"Is there anything delicious? Let me try it."
As soon as Shen Changshan walked into the yard, he heard the conversation between the mother and daughter and asked casually.
Chen Li looked at Lin Cuicui with burning eyes, hoping that she would not favor one over the other.
Lin Cuicui had a gentle smile on her face. "A-Li brought back a basket of oranges from the farm. I think they're delicious. You should try them."
As he said that, he did the same thing and handed half of it to Shen Changshan's mouth. Shen Changshan took it in his mouth without any preparation and bit it, looking at the mother and daughter in front of him with expectant eyes.
"tasty."
After she finished speaking, Lin Cuicui handed him another slice, as if she was going to give him the whole orange.
Chen Li looked away, unable to bear to watch. If she hadn't accurately caught the twitching corner of her father's mouth just now, she would have almost believed it.
Chen Li walked back to the eaves and sat down, and saw her mother feeding all the oranges to Shen Changshan.
Wow, the way dad coaxes his wife is simply amazing.
That orange is 90% sour and not sweet at all. I can’t stand it myself. I wonder if my dad’s teeth are hurt by the sour taste?
After eating, perhaps because she felt a little guilty, Lin Cuicui poured Shen Changshan a glass of boiled water.
Chen Li shook her head. Zhou Yu was beating Huang Gai. One was willing to fight and the other was willing to be beaten. It was a shame to watch!
I decided to go with Bai Yao to sort out the vegetables we brought back. The ones that can be kept for a long time will be kept for now, and the ones that cannot be kept for a long time will be eaten quickly in the next two days.
Fortunately, I have to cook for the workers at home at noon, so it will be consumed quickly and there is no need to worry about waste.
When I was sorting it out, I found that Zhangzhuangtou had actually had people catching crabs. Now it was past the best season for eating crabs, so they were not fat, but fortunately they were big.
At a quick glance, there are 30 in total, just enough for tonight's meal.
I found a wooden basin and put the crab in it. It was still alive and kicking. I haven't eaten such a big crab in a long time.
There is one in the space, so isn't this busy during this period? I haven't had time to taste it yet, but I didn't expect Zhang Zhuangtou to think of this.
There were five fat mandarin fish in another basket, and there was a wooden barrel inside. However, perhaps because they had been out of water for too long, their bellies had turned white.
"Miss, have you eaten all the fish tonight?"
"Well, there are a lot of people in my family, and these few are just enough for us to eat."
Bai Yao picked up the bucket and said, "Then I'll go deal with the fish."
The way she skillfully killed the fish reminded Shen Li of the first time she killed a fish.
Every time the fish jumped, she jumped, and the knife in her hand also shook. The scene was both hilarious and absurd.
But she stubbornly insisted on killing it herself and refused to let anyone else take over.
Now, Chen Li was killing the fish without blinking an eye. She was thinking about what went wrong. Could it be that he was affected by his own family?
While thinking about this, he took the crab and went to wash it. He didn't have a brush, so he could only break the willow branches and shake them apart to use as a brush.
However, this was a bit slow, and soon, the three brothers came.
Soon, several brothers came back. When the third and fourth brothers saw her catching crabs, they went over to help.
"Ali, this crab is quite big. Where did you get it from?"
"Those two Zhuangzi come up."
Shen Yuanzhou asked with great interest, "Are those two manors big?"
"It's quite big. Brother San can go and have a look when he has time."
"Well, let's go later. After the house is ready, I will go with you."
"Okay, bring my parents along to help us get acquainted with the place."
"OK."
Shen Qi'an, who was standing aside, listened quietly to his brother and sister talking. He had never been one for conversation.
In the evening, the family ate all the crabs and fish, and of course, other dishes.
Xu Taohua also wanted to eat it, but when she thought about the fact that she was pregnant and couldn't eat such cold food, she stopped thinking about it and concentrated on eating the fish and other dishes.
My younger sister said that these are crabs from the farm, so I will be able to eat them in the future.
On the second day, the workers began to build the roof and then entered the tiling operation in full swing.
Half of the people were assigned to lay tiles, and the other half came to build the wall. Every day, ox carts or horse carts carrying blue bricks came into the village, and the villagers of Daohua Village had become accustomed to it.
The roof was completely covered in just four days. At first glance, it looked like a spacious and bright blue brick and tile house. The yard looked a bit desolate because it was messy.
But it doesn’t matter. After the outer wall is built, we can start decorating the yard after we build the outer wall.
Behind the gate, Shen Changshan made a special trip to the county town and spent 100 taels of silver to buy a heavy gate, which has now been installed.
Chen Li stood outside the wall. The wall was built two meters and two meters high as she requested. Although it could not prevent people who knew martial arts, it could prevent ordinary thieves.
During this period, Chen Li grew a lot taller, as if she had grown taller. She grew from 150cm to about 165cm in an instant. She didn't notice it at first, and it was Bai Yao who discovered it first.
…
"Miss, you seem to have grown taller?"
When Shen Li heard this, she was shocked, "Really?"
I didn’t grow much when I was always concerned about my height before, but I grew taller during this period of time when I didn’t pay attention to it.
"Really, you are so much taller than me now."
Bai Yao said seriously, and did not forget to stretch out his hand to gesture.
Only then did Chen Li notice that she had grown a lot taller without realizing it.
Hehehehe!
