The scene became awkward for a while.
Xu Cai didn't expect that the adobe bricks in this village would be so weak. He clearly didn't use any force, so why did they break?
But he really wasn't messing around.
Since I said I was going to work, I really meant to work.
Xiao Changhe knew that the other party had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "I'm not saying you're fooling around, I'm saying my child, a young man like you, who is usually spoiled, how can he do this kind of work?"
Xu Cai was very strong by nature, and the last thing he wanted to hear in his life was for others to say he was no good.
"Why can't I do it? I have to do this job today."
As he spoke, he bent down to pick up other bricks on the ground.
Xiao Changhe hurried up and stopped him: "Hey, stop, stop, Mr. Xu, we just made this brick, it hasn't been dried yet, it broke as soon as you took it!"
"Did you do it yourself?"
Xu Cai raised his eyes and looked around.
Don't you mean building a house? Why do you still make bricks yourself?
"Otherwise," Xiao Changhe said, "If Mr. Xu really wants to work, then go dig the soil over there."
Xiao Changhe pointed to the edge of the clearing.
There happened to be two people picking soil over there.
"Then I will team up with the young master. He will dig and I will transport." Xiao Liuzi had already figured out some tricks and saw that there were two people matching each other over there, and they happened to be two people.
"Okay!" Xiao Changhe pointed to the basket of soil and a pickaxe on the ground, "There are tools here, you two can dig over there. We have many people working, so don't worry, we can dig as much as we can!"
After hurriedly explaining, Xiao Changhe went to the front yard to find Ye Luoxin.
He had to ask clearly, why on earth did these two people come to his home?
forecourt.
Ye Luoxin and Xu Zhengxiang are sorting out the gifts sent by Shopkeeper Xu.
These gifts look expensive, but they are not flashy.
Inside are snacks from Cuifangzhai, fine silk materials, a pair of jade bracelets, and brand new Four Treasures of the Study.
It seems that the person who picked the gift really put his heart into it.
When Xu Zhengxiang saw Xiao Changhe coming back, he hurriedly asked: "Why are you back? Didn't you arrange for two young people to work behind the scenes? Why don't you take care of me?"
"That's what I'm here to ask."
Xiao Changhe picked up the large porcelain bowl on the table, poured himself a bowl of water, drank it down, and then continued:
"Isn't Mr. Xu the son of Shopkeeper Xu? Why does he come to work in our house? What kind of trouble is this?"
"Dad, shopkeeper Xu personally sent his son here."
As Ye Luoxin spoke, she took out her purse and looked at it with Xiao Changhe: "Look, I gave you a few pieces of gold. This Mr. Xu will live in our house for a month."
"Let's live here, why do we have to let people work? Our family has a simple life, and as long as he can bear it, there is no problem if he lives there for a month." Xiao Changhe still felt that something was wrong.
"what do you know!"
When Xu Zhengxiang saw Xiao Changhe accusing Ye Luoxin, he immediately became unhappy.
"Shopkeeper Xu's family has been involved in a lawsuit with our family, can Luo Xin know it as well as you do?
Of course Luo Xin had her own reasons for doing this. Those two were young, strong, and not too tired. What happened to doing some work? "
"Hey you..." As soon as Xu Zhengxiang opened his mouth, Xiao Changhe was immediately speechless.
On the surface, Xiao Changhe is in charge of this family, but in fact, as long as Xu Zhengxiang glares, he will shut up immediately.
"How much do you want them to do?" he asked tentatively.
"Dad, just treat them like Si Dan." Ye Luoxin found the benchmark, "Si Dan is about the same size as that little follower. If Si Dan can do something, they will have no problem. If there is something they can't do, it will be fine. , dad asked someone to teach them."
"Then... that's okay." Xiao Changhe reluctantly agreed.
If you live long enough, you can see everything.
In the past, poor people went to work in rich people's homes, but now it's better, and the rich people also work in poor people's homes.
I can’t figure it out, I can’t figure it out at all!
As soon as he left, Xu Zhengxiang immediately asked: "Luo Xin, I still don't understand why shopkeeper Xu left his son at our house?"
"Mom, I don't know the specifics. What I can think of is that maybe Shopkeeper Xu wanted his son to come to us to steal the craftsmanship. As a result, his son didn't cooperate and would rather do hard work than learn secretly."
"In that case, this child is pretty good!"
Xu Zhengxiang said with emotion: "Although he is a little stupid, he is at least more upright than his father."
"This is all my guess."
Ye Luoxin arranged the gift boxes one by one: "It just so happens that our family has to build a house this month. One more person will help more. If he can't stand it, he will sneak back and we won't stop him."
"Well, I think it's okay. Judging from his thin skin and tender flesh, I guess he won't be able to stay for a few days."
It was getting late, and Ye Luoxin and Yang Feng began to prepare dinner.
Everyone is busy today and has no time to go out to buy meat. Fortunately, Xiao Mu still has dried fish and pickled rabbit meat that Xiao Mu brought down from the mountain.
Ye Luoxin cooked a large pot of brown rice.
Yang Feng washed the rabbit meat and cut it into small pieces, added chili peppers and radish, and fried a diced chili rabbit meat.
Add a tablespoon of lard to the pot, cut the dried fish into several sections, then pour it into the pot and fry until both sides are golden brown.
The fried fish is crispy and crispy, which is already a luxury for the Xiao family.
Normally, these oils would last for at least seven or eight days, so I would never be willing to use them like this.
Thinking of the gifts from shopkeeper Xu, Xu Zhengxiang felt that the two dishes were still a bit shabby, so she took out six eggs from the gourd, picked a handful of cabbage, fried a plate of yellow scrambled eggs, and a plate of green minced ginger and cabbage.
After the meal was ready, Xiao Changhe also led people back to the courtyard.
The first time Ye Luoxin saw Xu Cai, she couldn't help laughing.
The young master who was so charming before had lost his image in less than half a day.
His face was streaked with black and white, and there were a few pieces of mud on the right side of his face.
The originally neatly combed hair was now in a mess, with hairpins inserted diagonally on the top of the head, and a few strands of hair falling from the forehead.
The worst thing is that there is wet mud all under his robe, and it has been tightly wrapped around his legs.
