He Lian'er originally wanted to ask Mrs. Liu how she roasted chicken and loach, but she didn't expect that when Cao Cao arrived, there were rapid footsteps in the yard, and it was Mrs. Liu who entered the third room in a hurry.
"Ah ha, Qing'er is here too? That's just right, it saves me the trouble of running around."
"Well, tomorrow, let's go to the fourth room to have breakfast tomorrow morning. Tomorrow morning we will start digging the foundation of our house. Everyone should go there, it's a lot of fun!"
"How quickly did you finish the craftsman team?" Yang Ruoqing asked, the efficiency was so fast!
Mrs. Liu smiled proudly, raised two fingers and made a motion of twisting money: "With this thing to open the road, you have to be fast!"
Yang Ruoqing nodded with a smile, "Which craftsman did you hire from?"
The craftsmen mentioned by Yang Ruoqing include not only masons, but also carpenters and painters. Because building a house requires the convergence of these types of work, and everyone works together to build a building that is strong and can withstand wind, rain, and sun. Come to the house!
Seeing the teapot and teacup on the table, Ms. Liu poured herself a bowl of tea. Holding it in her hand, she turned around and said to Yang Ruoqing and the others: "This time we are inviting the three brothers Dalang, Erlang, and Sanlang from Lijiacun. !”
"The Li family's desperate man?" Yang Ruoqing immediately called out the name of the three brothers. This group name was given to the three brothers of the Li family by the villagers in Shiliba Village.
In Lijia Village, there are these three brothers.
The three brothers are very hardworking. The elder brother Li Dalang is a bricklayer, the second brother Li Erlang is a carpenter, and the third brother Li Sanlang is a painter.
Li Dalang is about the same age as Yang Ruoqing, in his early thirties. His mother-in-law died, leaving behind a pair of seven or eight-year-old twin sons.
Li Erlang is twenty-six or seven years old and has not yet gotten married.
Li Sanlang is nearly twenty years old and also a bachelor.
Although the three brothers are known as desperate men, their marriages are not very smooth.
Li Dalang is a widower, and his two remaining brothers are singles.
The three brothers are good-looking and hard-working, but girls from villages all over the country are unwilling to marry them.
why?
Because from the beginning of their family's ancestors, the men's fortunes were relatively tough, and the women who married into their family did not live very long.
Basically, there is no one over thirty-six years old, including Li Jiasanlang's great-grandmother, grandma, their mother, and even Li Dalang's mother-in-law.
Moreover, they all fell into the water and drowned. Even if they did not drown, the cause of death was related to water.
So the people in Lijia Village said that the Li family was cursed and that the Li family was not conducive to women, so now the three desperate men of the Li family are just three bachelors.
In addition, the father of the three brothers of the Li family, Old Man Li, is also an old widower, so the male of the family has too strong yang energy. Even the old hens raised at home cannot survive easily, and they always die after being raised. …
Some may just be coincidences, but these coincidences spread widely after being modified by the villagers.
In the process of dissemination, many things were distorted or embellished, so all kinds of bizarre and mysterious versions came out.
The final result is that the three brothers of the Li family are obviously working hard to take care of the crops, and each of them has their own craftsmanship. Together, the three brothers can take on the work of building houses in eight villages ten miles away, and the house can be built spaciously. A big, bright house, one brother can occupy a large room.
The dining room for eating has been prepared separately, but no one in the ten miles and eight villages is willing to marry their daughter there.
Therefore, the three brothers of the Li family have become a unique "scenery" in Lijia Village, and even in eight villages within ten miles.
"The three brothers from the Li family are a good combination. They can do the masonry, carpentry, furniture and painting of doors and windows in one step." Yang Ruoqing added.
Mr. Liu nodded: "That's a must! The three brothers of the Li family have experience in building houses. Your fourth uncle and I went to Lijia Village and inquired about it in eight other villages within ten miles."
"Many people have asked them to help build their houses. Not to mention that they are very reliable. The wages paid by these three brothers are also quite reasonable. Unlike some master craftsmen who deliberately raise prices, work lazily and sell bad, and they also change their methods. It’s something from the black master’s family, ah!”
"Fourth Aunt, if you can still say this after the three Li brothers come in to work, then I will really admire you." Yang Ruoqing joked with a smile.
"Don't let the three brothers eat half a bowl of rice, and your eyes will stare to the ground. There's nothing you can do about it!"
Don't blame Yang Ruoqing for saying this on purpose, because this is indeed what Mrs. Liu is like.
She has one of the most obvious characteristics, that is, she is not atmospheric.
If nothing else, just say that when her family holds a wedding event, she calls on everyone to come over and help, and provides meals to those who help. Isn't this a natural thing?
But Mr. Liu likes to settle small accounts.
She was embarrassed to calculate the rooms in Lao Yang's house, because they were too close to each other, and if anything happened to other rooms in Lao Yang's house, Mrs. Liu would take Zhang Zui there to eat and drink, and she would not be able to help at all. The hands were all done by Yang Huaming, Kang Xiaozi and Liu Jinchuan.
So she was embarrassed to settle small scores with the inside of Lao Yang's family, but she would settle with those outside Lao Yang's family!
For example, a family sent a daughter-in-law to help with the work, and a whole family came over for dinner.
Another example is that an old woman from a certain family came over and helped stuff a few handfuls of firewood into the mouth of the stove and peeled a few heads of garlic. As a result, when the banquet started, she brought a bowl from home with meatballs and meatloaf cooked in a big pot. I filled the bowl with soup as hard as I could and sent it home to feed the little baby at home. It was awkward to hold it while eating...
In short, every time when the fourth house does something big, you can always see Mrs. Liu patrolling here and there like an inspector. Her eyes are like infrared detectors. No small movement of anyone can escape her 360-degree detection...
"Qing'er, when you say this, you just look down on me, Fourth Auntie. I'm the kind of petty person!" Mrs. Liu curled her lips and rolled her eyes at Yang Ruoqing twice.
It seems that Yang Ruoqing's remarks are an insult to herself and a distrust of her own character.
Yang Ruoqing covered her mouth and smiled.
When Mrs. Sun saw this, she also smiled and smoothed things over: "Qing'er is joking with you, but you take it seriously. Everyone knows that you are grand, right Lian'er?"
He Lian'er was a little confused, because she really had never seen Mrs. Liu's grandeur. She only knew that if there was something going on in other rooms, her fourth aunt Liu would not be seen when she was working.
But when it comes to eating, she is definitely there, eating in front of everyone and behind everyone else, and she is still thinking about the next meal after eating the last one.
But He Lian'er would not be stupid enough to say what was in her heart, so she followed Sun's words and said: "My mother is right, fourth aunt, everyone knows who you are and what kind of person you are. You all know it, you know it too, right?"
