"Really? When did he treat you so well?" The girl sipped the toffee in her mouth with some taste.
Cai Yan was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows slightly, recalling the past few days, and said sincerely: "He has always been very good to me."
When the girl saw this, she felt as if she had eaten a big mouthful of dog food. Goosebumps could not stop standing up. She wanted to make a joke, but after thinking about it, she let it go. This was the first time she had seen Cai Yan smile so happily. Before... Hey, I have the heart to strangle Wei Cheng to death.
"Sister, I plan to live here with you for a while. I will have to go back to my hometown in Shanyin in the middle of next month. My parents helped me look at a house. It is Wucheng Housun, who has made extraordinary achievements in recent years. The son of Polu, alas..."
There is not much that the two women can talk about together. This time the girl came here to learn from her, or it would be better to say that she has a slight premarital phobia.
···
"Sir, according to this progress, these three houses will be completed in less than ten days. With experience, the next progress should be accelerated." Hao Dadao said with a smile.
In the village, three brick houses have been built up to their waists. Because of the mobilization of the whole village, the speed was extremely fast. If it were not for waiting for the clay to dry completely, they might be able to be erected overnight.
After Wei Cheng checked the vertical and horizontal angles of the brick wall, he said: "Don't be too quick. The house must be built in a straight position, otherwise it will collapse in a flash due to strong winds, heavy rain, ground dragons, or other disasters."
Hao Dadao nodded solemnly. As a supervisor, he was not only responsible for the progress of building the house, but also for the safety of the villagers who would move in in the future. Naturally, he did not dare to be careless at all. It was just his first time building a brick house, so he still had some experience. insufficient.
After some inspections, Wei Cheng found several minor problems. After raising them, he handed them over to Hao Dadao and the others to solve.
Arriving at one of the bedrooms, Wei Cheng saw several villagers pointing at the half-built fire bed.
After listening to a few words, Wei Cheng found it funny, because a villager said: "Is this kang really a place for people to sleep on? Isn't it putting us on the fire to roast us? What if we are cooked?"
Seeing Wei Cheng coming in, the villagers awkwardly bowed to him. Wei Cheng explained with a smile: "The fire kang has endless wonderful uses. Do you remember what I said before about one kang having three uses? It can not only keep warm, but also sleep. Cook."
The villagers nodded, but they still couldn't understand why people wouldn't get cooked if they lay on it.
Wei Cheng could only vaguely explain what heat conduction was. Seeing that the villagers were still confused, he might as well wait until the fire pit was repaired and let them experience it firsthand, because it was too laborious to explain, and he didn't even understand the key. .
After visiting the bedroom, he then looked at the kitchen and bathroom. The stove in the kitchen had been built, and the future owner of the house was making a fire to dry it. When he saw Wei Cheng arriving, he hurriedly got up to express his gratitude.
Wei Cheng chatted with them for a while, then went to the bathroom to take a look. He had wanted to bury the sewage pipes in advance, but he remembered that buying the pipes would easily reveal his secret, so he simply asked the villagers to use chamber pots and dung buckets.
It's just that you have to take it to the public toilet and empty it regularly every morning, otherwise it will easily stink. The villagers don't have any objection to this, because even the rich families in the county use their toilets in this way.
As for Wei Cheng, he doesn't have to go to such trouble. The hut is built on a hillside. Then a clay pot can be used to connect a sewage pipe directly to the public toilet. If the villagers find it convenient in the future, they can modify it themselves.
Now everything is about progress. There are more than 300 people in the village, and there are 76 households in total, which means 76 residences need to be built, and Wei Cheng's humble house needs to be built. I am afraid that it will be too late in more than two months.
Fortunately, the people in the village are not greedy for their own advantages. Some families with a small population, such as Hao Sanzhu and his family, only want a two-bedroom apartment and do not insist on a three-bedroom apartment. In this way, the progress of the project will undoubtedly be accelerated a lot.
After walking around the village and explaining to Hao Dadao what public health construction was, Wei Cheng leisurely returned to his hut.
It was almost noon now. He was used to having three meals a day, and Hao Niang also came up to cook.
Halfway there, Hao Niang suddenly said: "Master, when the girl came in the morning, she brought Brother Daniu and Sister Xiaohua. Sister Xiaohua asked me to ask the Master if she could come over early to serve Madam. She said she wanted to repay the favor."
Wei Qing was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that Hao Sanzhu had a daughter named Xiaohua. He had indeed agreed to let Xiaohua work as a maid for Cai Yan.
"Okay, but she has just returned to her parents' home. It's not too late to rest for two days before coming back. Madam rarely goes out, so there is no rush."
Hao Niang nodded and raised the corners of her mouth slightly behind the veil. She had a good relationship with Xiaohua. When she was teased for having scars on her face, it was Xiaohua who helped her fight off those boys. Now Xiaohua also wants to help the young master. Once things are done, the two of them can be together every day from now on.
The two of them walked into the courtyard one after another, and as soon as they entered the door they heard a sound of crying and choking.
As if seeing them coming in, the crying stopped suddenly.
Cai Yan pulled the girl in red and asked her to go into the house to tidy up, and then said to Wei Cheng: "Husband, Yu'er wants to stay with us for half a month. You see..."
Wei Cheng glanced at the girl hiding in the room, nodded and said: "Okay, I will ask Uncle Dao to add a bed board to your room later. I also have a new set of bedding and pillows in the room. My family sent many. It's up to you."
Cai Yan smiled lightly, hesitated, and said with some embarrassment: "Well... husband, can you cook instant noodles for lunch? I want to use it to entertain Yu'er."
"Instant noodles?"
Wei Cheng looked at her with a strange expression, and then nodded in a funny way. Oh my god, when will instant noodles be used to entertain guests? Fortunately, I purchased a lot of Baixiang instant noodles in various flavors.
If you wanted to eat instant noodles, it would be too simple. Wei Cheng asked Hao Niang to boil water and went into the house to open a box, which contained instant noodles, candies, fat house water, juice, spicy strips, sausages, potato chips, etc. A must-have snack at home.
I took a few packs of instant noodles, removed the packaging bags, and squeezed the seasonings into a bowl. After thinking about it, I took a few more instant noodles and unpacked them. Today I have a luxury, and each person adds a sausage. repair.
Needless to say, when Wei Cheng poured the seasoning into the pot and cooked it, the aroma could make anyone who had never eaten instant noodles cry.
Even little Aning, who was playing hide-and-seek at the racecourse, was attracted back. Haha, that's a bit exaggerated. Little Aning knew it was time for dinner and ran back all by himself.
Eating instant noodles for lunch, little Aning started giggling as soon as he walked in. He was so happy that the big blisters on his tongue no longer hurt, and he jumped around the stove like a little shaman.
The girl who was cleaning up her makeup in the room couldn't stop drooling. The scent was so attractive.
When I walked out of the house, I saw a cheerful scene in the yard.
Little Aning hugged Wei Cheng's thigh and asked him to add more noodles and more soup. Seeing that the small porcelain bowl was filled to the brim, the little girl didn't give up and took a sip of the hot soup, indicating that she could add some more noodles. Go up.
Cai Yan looked on with a smile. The scene was inexplicably harmonious, like a family of three.
After Wei Cheng served a bowl to Aning, he served another bowl to Cai Yan. This time, the bowl not only contained sausages, but also poached eggs, green vegetables, chopped green onions and other decorations. The big rooster bowl was only half full. It looks very exquisite.
Oh, by the way, these porcelains were also purchased by Wei Cheng. The quantity is not large, just enough.
Seeing the girl in red come out, Wei Qing glanced sideways. She was quite pretty, but not as elegant as Cai Yan, and not as good-looking as Hao Niang. Hao Niang only had a scar on her face, but not as good-looking as Hao Niang. It means she doesn't look good.
For Wei Cheng, who is used to seeing the faces of later Internet celebrities, the girl in red can only score seventy-five points for her appearance, while Cai Yan can score eighty-five points. With her bookish aroma, she can easily break through ninety-five points. Hao, on the other hand, can score 85 points. Mom, her face that was originally 90 points dropped to 60 points because of a scar. If she hadn't had a good figure, she probably wouldn't even have 60 points.
"Yu'er, come and try this bowl of noodles. It's called instant noodles. You'll definitely like it after eating it." Cai Yan generously placed his noodles on the table and pulled the girl in red to sit down.
Seeing this, Wei Cheng shook his head helplessly, filled another bowl for Cai Yan, and said casually: "It's not enough to eat, but there's more here."
The reason why I add this is because the girl in red has already buried her head in sucking. The scene is like a big whale sucking water. She doesn't seem to care about Wei Cheng's opinion, and she doesn't have any pretense. Anyway, she just eats and drinks as much as she wants.
This actually won Wei Cheng's favor, as he had dined with his ex-girlfriend's roommate and best friend before.
Those guys are like Xiaojiabiyu. They eat only one mouthful of food. They are wasteful and pretentious. They are all foxes for thousands of years. Who knows who they are? They all pretend to be ladies outside. When they are alone at home, they are not You know what a sloppy way to do it.
Women who are truly self-disciplined should look at those with good figures, neither fat nor thin. Because such girls want to maintain their figure, they will definitely exercise regularly, not blindly diet, eat and drink, and go out often. Nightclub, otherwise you will definitely gain weight.
In fact, regardless of men and women, people with fat belly are generally not very self-disciplined. (Come to argue if you are not convinced)
"Hmm, delicious!"
The girl in red finished a bowl of noodles three times, five by two, looked up at Wei Cheng, and said in surprise: "Okay, Wei Zhongdao, your cooking skills are much better than those of my cook. I didn't expect that you, a boring gourd, can still do it." He has such a skill."
Wei Cheng smiled awkwardly, what kind of cooking skills are needed to make instant noodles? Isn't it just a matter of having hands?
"If you like it, eat more."
After Wei Cheng finished speaking, he walked up to Cai Yan with the bowl and said gently: "Yan'er, you eat too."
Cai Yan didn't expect Wei Cheng to be so direct in front of outsiders, so he nodded with a blushing face, sat down obediently, and started eating.
Seeing this, the girl in red frowned and said, "Hey, I haven't seen you for a long time. You have changed a lot. Why do you feel that your whole person has changed after you escaped from death? And why do you stop coughing and recover from your illness?" Already?"
Wei Cheng's heart skipped a beat, he glanced at the girl and explained: "People will always change. You are still young. You will understand when you grow up."
The girl curled her lips and pushed the bowl forward, "Here, let's have another bowl."
Wei Cheng watched Cai Yan eating noodles, pointed to the kitchen with his right hand, and said without looking back: "Go and serve it yourself."
Seeing this, Cai Yan comforted her softly: "Husband, Yu'er is still young, so don't be as knowledgeable as her."
Wei Cheng immediately put on a smile, pointed at the noodles in the bowl, and urged: "What have I seen with a girl? Don't worry about her, you eat quickly, the noodles will become lumpy and won't taste good after a while."
After several people had eaten and drank enough.
Cai Yan took the girl Yu'er and sat opposite Wei Cheng.
Wei Cheng is collecting an herbal medicine called Nanxing. This herb is common in various places. It has the effects of dispersing wind, eliminating phlegm, calming convulsions, and analgesic. It can treat stroke paralysis, spasm of hands and feet, headaches and dizziness, convulsions and excessive phlegm, etc. disease.
However, seeds and underground bulbs picked directly from plants cannot be eaten. Serious ingestion may lead to death.
Generally, in summer and autumn, the lower bulbs are dug out, the above-ground stems and hairs are removed, and the outer skin is peeled off with a bamboo knife, or put into a basket and placed in water, and the outer skin is pounded with a brush, washed and dried in the sun.
Wei Cheng handled these herbs very skillfully, and his movements were done in one go, with an inexplicable sense of leisurely beauty.
The two of them watched for a while before they remembered that they had to ask for advice. Cai Yan said, "Husband, Yu'er has a question that I would like to ask you."
The girl tugged on Cai Yan's sleeves with a somewhat squeamish look on her face.
Cai Yan consoled him: "Believe me, my husband will definitely be able to give you pertinent advice. When Taigong Xie asks, you will be able to quibble."
The girl frowned and said, "He doesn't know Sun Bofu."
Wei Cheng was stunned for a moment, then blurted out: "Who doesn't know the little overlord of Jiangdong?"
The girl was obviously startled, and then asked curiously: "You stay at home refining medicine every day, and you actually know the name of the Green Forest?"
Cai Yan was also overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Husband, Yu'er's parents want to marry her into the Sun family and have chosen this Sun Bofu. Please help me see if this Sun Bofu is a good match." ?”
Wei Cheng raised his eyebrows, looked at the girl, and asked curiously: "Are you going to marry Sun Bofu?"
The girl nodded, shook her head, and said stubbornly: "I, I haven't agreed yet."
Wei Qing looked at her with a strange expression and said after a while: "That's not right. Your surname is Xie. If you want to marry, you must marry his younger brother. Sun Bofu has a woman, and she is his true love. She is from Lujiang County." The daughter of Mr. Qiao of Wan County, counting the time, Sun Bofu should be in Lujiang County now, maybe they have already made a private decision for life."
"Ah?!" The two women exclaimed in surprise when they heard this.
Cai Yan pulled Wei Cheng's sleeve awkwardly and whispered: "Husband, don't dare to talk nonsense. Sun and Xie have agreed on a marriage. How could Sun break his trust? Although Sun Bofu is free and easy, It’s a little freer, but it’s not like this.”
Wei Cheng frowned, looked at the girl, and explained: "I won't lie to you. Sun Bofu is now in Shu County, Lujiang County. If you don't believe me, send someone to find out. He has many friends from local famous families, and the Qiao family is also a famous family in the local area. , Duke Qiao has two daughters, Daqiao is in love with the overlord Sun Bofu, and Xiaoqiao is in love with Zhou Gongjin, the son of Luoyang Ling Zhou Yi, this is not a big secret, just ask around and you will know."
