"It was hit by a stone..."
Moreover, she deliberately left some wounds when she was cleaning up.
When she got home, "Dad, my daughter caught a pheasant!" Song was very happy. Her Xiaoyu was really capable. She was good at everything she did. Among the girls in the village, who could compare with her?
"Did you catch a chicken?"
"Hello, big sister, we have chicken for dinner again." Zhao Liying was really happy. Since leaving the old house, she had been living a happy life every day. She couldn't remember how many times she had eaten meat, chicken, white flour buns, and white rice recently. The happiest thing was that when their father went to the county town, he would sometimes bring them some candies and snacks.
Life was so happy that she couldn't believe it was real.
Song rummaged through the backpack and took out a naked, hairless chicken. She was dumbfounded. Zhao Dashu was also stunned. Where is Mao?
Zhao Xiaoyu was a little embarrassed, "Mom, I passed by a mountain spring. Didn't I bring a clay pot with me? I boiled some hot water, but I couldn't finish it, so I cleaned up the chicken as well." I had to clean it up, because domestic chickens and wild chickens look so different.
"Why are you so diligent, my daughter? Take a break, catch your breath, and then cook. Let your mother cook the rice and cut the vegetables.
Zhao Xiaoyu: Thank you so much for thinking so much about me.
Song glared at Zhao Dashu and said, "Do you think my cooking is bad? My daughter has been in the mountains all day and you still ask her to cook when she comes back. Is there any father like you?"
"You do it, you do it, I'm wrong, isn't it?"
Song was rarely tough, she turned her head away and ignored him. Li Xi followed suit and turned her head away, ignoring Zhao Dashu.
Zhao Dashu: ...
"Dad, how was the interview in the county town yesterday?"
"The shopkeeper introduced me to a master who I think is quite reliable. He can build a firewall. I told him roughly how to build a house. He said that if it is like this, he suggested that we just build a second courtyard. The front yard can be used for servants to live in, and we will live in the back yard. There is also a large yard in the back yard where we can grow crops and vegetables."
When the foreman Tian Zhiyu told him that the front room was reserved for the servants to live in, he was so shocked that he almost bit off his tongue. How could he, Zhao Dashu, have the virtue and ability to buy someone? If anyone knew about this, the whole village would laugh at him.
"My girl, I think we should just build it right away. What's the point of calling it a servant's room? The foreman thinks too highly of me."
Song nodded, she also felt it was too much. What they want now is a home that is sheltered from the wind and rain.
What the foreman said was Zhao Xiaoyu's ideal type. She was excited. "Dad, did the foreman tell me how much money it would cost to build a house like this?"
"About two hundred and thirty taels. The foreman said that for a house like ours, the yard should be paved with bluestone slabs and the interior should be paved with blue bricks. This way it will be clean and dust-free."
Su murmured, "Didn't our family run out of money after building the house?" Did the foreman eavesdrop on her at her house last night?
"Dad, let's build this. How long will it take?"
"About three or four months. He said he would bring the skilled workers over, and we would find the unskilled workers ourselves. I thought, we don't need to ask the tribesmen to help for free, I guess they won't be willing to do it, and I don't want to ask for favors. So we can just pay the wages and hire unskilled workers from the village, what do you say?"
"Okay, you're right. If you can solve the problem with money, don't ask for favors."
Song couldn't stand it any longer. The way these two men looked so rich and powerful was exactly like what the villagers called prodigals.
"Li Xi, come on, mother will help you make chicken soup." Li Xi couldn't be allowed to continue listening. If she became the third Zhao Laosan, would she still be able to live?
How will Xiaoyu get married in the future if she is like this? Which mother-in-law likes a daughter-in-law who brags?
The little girl opened her eyes wide, "Wow, do we need to eat meat again tonight?"
"Eat meat, the chicken legs are for you and big sister!"
"Mom eats it too, Dad eats it too!"
The two girls continued to discuss building a house.
Zhao Xiaoyu discovered that her cheap father did things in an orderly manner. He had thought through every aspect, including how many people to hire, how much money to pay them, and whether to provide meals.
"My daughter, do you think we should build our house like this? Will it be too big or too much?"
"No, Dad, our family will definitely hire servants in the future. My daughter will let you be the old man in the future." Zhao Xiaoyu has this confidence and this ambition.
Zhao Dashu slapped his thigh and said, "My daughter, it's not in vain that I gave birth to you. I'm counting on you for my whole life. I don't care who serves me, as long as I can eat and drink well."
Zhao Xiaoyu sneered: What a promising future!
"Dad, you should think about the old house. If grandpa knew you were going to build a house, he would come to kill you immediately. I heard that a while ago, when my uncle came back to the city, he built an ox cart!"
In her memory, that family was always picked up and dropped off by mule cart, whether coming or leaving.
The first time, it was so shabby. For Boss Zhao, it’s shabby, right?
Zhao Dashu: ...
"On such a happy day, can you not say something to spoil the fun?"
Zhao Xiaoyu held her chin and looked at him: "What do you think about the old house and grandpa?"
Zhao Dashu always felt that their identities had been reversed.
He sat up straight unconsciously, and straightened his back. "To be honest, I built this house to show off. I want to show your grandfather that he was mistaken, and I am not as bad as he thinks.
But when I went to the city that day, I realized that the money was earned by you, not by me, and it was wrong for me to use the money you earned to save face. Anyway, now that we have separated, we can live our own lives. Whatever he wants to think is his business.
As for the old house, it has been divided and it has been divided. In the future, our family will just have to show filial respect according to the seal on the division document. There is nothing else to do.
Your uncle has nothing to do with me. He is not my son. Whether he passes the exam or becomes an official, what does it have to do with me? If they want to make trouble, just ignore them. Some people become more shameless the more you give them face.
When we move into the new house, dad will hang out with you, earn some money, and take your mother to see a doctor, so that she can take care of herself and give birth to a big fat boy for me. ”
