At Lu Xinghe's house, the three brothers Lu Laifu saw Mrs. Li walking away and continued to eat the pig intestines in their bowls with satisfied expressions on their faces.
Lu Laifu took a sip of wine with an intoxicated face.
"Third brother and sister, don't be afraid that the old lady will bully you in the future. If you really can't handle it, go to the old house and ask your mother and your elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law to come over. They are good at fighting, and I guarantee that you will treat the old lady submissively."
Yun Cuihe covered her mouth and smiled.
"After all, we can't mess with her on weekdays. After we move to the new house, it will be clean."
Lu Shoucheng nodded: "That's right. Just live your life well. There is no need to pay attention to her, which will save yourself a lot of trouble."
…
The three brothers went home after eating.
Yun Cuihe called Lu Xinghe aside and mentioned to him the matter of building a brick house that she had discussed with Chu Yue at home.
After hearing this, Lu Xinghe nodded: "Originally, I thought that a blue brick house would be better."
It was only when I heard Chu Yue ask about buying a house in the town yesterday that I hesitated to build a blue brick house. Now that Chu Yue also suggested it, let's just stick to the blue brick house. After all, the family still has to live here. It's been a long time.
The three of them hit it off immediately and decided.
It's just that the crops in the fields are about to be harvested. It will be watered for another ten days. Once the rice is harvested, the new house can be started.
Lu Xinghe waited for the sun to tilt a little, and then carried water from the fields for an hour.
Later in the evening, Lu Tiesheng came home.
When Yun Cuihe heard Lu Tiesheng's voice, she quickly put down her needle and thread and left the house.
"Dad, why are you here?"
Lu Tiesheng frowned slightly: "I heard from Shoucheng that you are building a new house?"
Yun Cuihe nodded hurriedly.
"Yes, after the eldest brother and the second brother's house are built, our new house can also be built."
Lu Tiesheng hummed, picked up the dry cigarette and took two puffs.
"Is the money enough? If not, go to your mother to get some. When you make money later, you can pay it back to us."
When Yun Cuihe heard this, she felt a little moved and hurriedly said: "That's enough. We built the house after careful planning, otherwise we wouldn't have dared to start it, right? But thank you dad."
Hearing Yun Cuihe say that there was enough money to build a house, Lu Tiesheng nodded.
"You have to live your own life. Just keep it in mind. Let dad know when work starts, and dad will go and help."
"Hey, let Xinghe tell dad when the time comes."
Lu Tiesheng hummed, turned around and walked out of the yard.
"I'm going back. There's no need to buy me drinks in the future. You can live your own life, which is better than anything else."
Seeing Lu Tiesheng leave, Yun Cuihe rubbed the corners of her eyes with some emotion. After closing the courtyard door, she turned around and returned to the house.
In the next few days, Lu Xinghe carried water to irrigate the fields in the morning, read and practiced calligraphy at home at noon, and sometimes wrote some short articles. Normally at this time, in order not to disturb Lu Xinghe, Chu Yue would try to reduce his presence as much as possible, and even go there most of the time. I went to Yun Cuihe's room and learned needlework with her.
When the sun goes down in the afternoon, Lu Xinghe will take the two brothers Lu Xingping to dig soil in the circled mountain area and level the foundation.
They also asked Lu Xingping and Lu Xingan to pick up a lot of stones and fill them in the foundation.
Because they thought about building a new house soon, the two children worked very hard.
In addition to learning needlework every day, Chu Yue spent the rest of her time cooking with Yun Cuihe, or going to the mountains to collect herbs and wild vegetables, and was responsible for household affairs.
Chu Yue's two new sets of clothes have been prepared in the past few days. Since she has recovered better these days, she puts on a brand new light pink cotton top and navy blue skirt, which makes her look even more beautiful.
Yun Cuihe looked Chu Yue up and down, smiling from ear to ear, "If you ask me, Yue Yue is more beautiful, and this dress can produce such an effect, don't you think so Xinghe?"
She said, looking in the direction of Lu Xinghe.
Lu Xinghe was originally looking at Chu Yue. When he heard Yun Cuihe's voice, he was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly and said yes.
"nice."
Seeing the pink tips of his ears and his uncomfortable expression, Yun Cuihe laughed out loud.
Chu Yue lowered her head, feeling her cheeks warm.
…
Soon the day agreed with the Huang Mansion came, and it was time to go to town to remove Mrs. Huang's stitches.
Because Lu Xinghe was worried about Chu Yue going alone, he naturally wanted to follow him. Chu Yue originally wanted to take Yun Cuihe with her, but she asked Dr. Zhu to diagnose her pulse when she came back. However, Yun Cuihe didn't want to spend that money. , saying that he would go after the house was ready and he had more money.
Because she was too persistent, Chu Yue stopped forcing her.
After all, there was only a carriage when I went there, and I would be too embarrassed to ask someone to deliver it when I came back. Although Yun Cuihe's health seems to be better than usual these days, it will still be difficult to walk a long distance. If a doctor is willing to come, Just go to the village to see a doctor.
Before midnight, Chu Yue and Lu Xinghe left Banpo Village, but not long after they walked out, they saw a carriage waiting by the roadside.
After all, the arrival of a carriage in this village is definitely a rare thing. Once someone knows about it, there will definitely be many people watching.
The housekeeper knew that Chu Yue did not want to stir up trouble, so he parked the carriage in a relatively hidden location.
As soon as Chu Yue and Lu Xinghe showed up, the Huang Mansion's housekeeper jumped out of the carriage and bowed to the two.
"Miss Chu is here."
Chu Yue smiled and greeted the housekeeper, then got into the carriage with Lu Xinghe.
The housekeeper immediately turned the carriage around and drove the two of them towards Nanping Town.
The speed of the carriage was much faster than walking. In less than half an hour, it had arrived at Nanping Town. Because there was an obvious Huangfu sign on the carriage, after entering the town, pedestrians on the road gave way.
The carriage stopped steadily at the entrance of Huang Mansion. Lu Xinghe jumped out of the carriage first, then turned around and hugged Chu Yue down.
Chu Yue got off the carriage, straightened her clothes, and then followed the housekeeper into the Huang Mansion with Lu Xinghe.
Lu Xinghe was a man and it was inconvenient to enter the backyard, so he had to wait in the front yard like last time, while Chu Yue was taken to Yimei Garden by the maid.
"Madam, Miss Chu is here."
In the house, Xiaolian received Mrs. Huang's instructions and immediately said: "Let the girl come in quickly."
When Chu Yue entered the house, Xiaolian and a woman were helping Mrs. Huang to walk around the house. When they saw her coming in, they quickly helped Mrs. Huang to get on the bed.
Mrs. Huang leaned to the left on the bed and looked in the direction of Chu Yue.
The little girl looks about fourteen years old, her figure is still young and her round, almond-shaped eyes are bright and very beautiful.
This girl looks kind-hearted, so she must also be kind-hearted.
Mrs. Huang nodded slightly towards Chu Yue.
"Thank you girl for saving me and my child a few days ago."
Chu Yue hurriedly waved her hands: "Madam, please don't be so polite. The situation was urgent at that time, so I rushed to the shelves. Fortunately, God bless me, madam and the young master are blessed with good fortune, otherwise this matter will leave a shadow in my heart for the rest of my life. "
Looking at Chu Yue who looked frightened, Mrs. Huang couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
"You kid, you are also brave and resourceful. I heard Xiaolian say that Dr. Zhu was helpless at that time. It was you who came up with this method. After I woke up, Xiaolian almost praised you to the sky. ”
As she spoke, she looked at Xiaolian who was standing next to her.
