Yun Cuihe smiled and held Chu Yue's hand affectionately.
"It's all thanks to Yueyue, who invited the doctor and prescribed medicine. He is more considerate than the three boys in the family put together."
Chu Yue lowered her head in embarrassment, "Mom, don't praise me like that."
Even Lu Xingping, who always liked to argue, now felt that there was nothing wrong with his mother's words. If it weren't for my sister-in-law, my mother might still be the same.
Wang Xuelan then took a serious look at Chu Yue. The little girl had pretty features and a kind face: "Not to mention, this girl looks like she is blessed."
Yun Cuihe agreed with Wang Xuelan's words.
"Who says not? Being able to marry Yueyue is Xinghe's blessing."
Soon, the bricks and tiles were delivered to the foundation. Lu Xinghe counted the quantities and led the person in charge to Yun Cuihe.
"Mom, I have counted the number of bricks and tiles, and they all match. I paid a deposit of ten taels of silver last time, and the remaining thirty-six taels of silver can be paid to Manager Zhou."
Since Lu Xinghe had counted it, Yun Cuihe could trust it and quickly took out the money bag from his waist and handed it to Lu Xinghe.
"Mom doesn't understand this, go and settle the settlement with Manager Zhou."
Lu Xinghe signed a document with Manager Zhou and paid him thirty-six taels of silver.
After Wang Xuelan saw Lu Xinghe pay the money to Manager Zhou of Kaiyang Brick Kiln Factory with her own eyes, she finally believed that they now really had money to build a house.
As soon as Manager Zhou left, she immediately said: "Since we are here today, let's go home for lunch at noon, so as not to have to go back to do it again. I will ask my fourth daughter-in-law to do more later."
Yun Cuihe glanced in the direction of the children, and seeing that none of them objected, she nodded and said, "Then it's hard work and the fourth brother and sister."
Wang Xuelan waved her hands hurriedly: "It's okay, I'll go back and prepare first. You can just come home later."
Looking at Wang Xuelan walking away, Yun Cuihe responded: "Hey, that's good."
Lu Xinghe looked at the piles of bricks and tiles behind him and said, "Mom, you can go down and eat later. I'll look at the bricks and tiles here."
Yun Cuihe frowned: "The day your father showed you the house will be the day after tomorrow. Could it be that you have been guarding it here these days?"
Chu Yue looked at Yun Cuihe, "Just keep it safe. Biangui is really afraid of people stealing it. When the time comes, I will bring my husband's book here and keep it with him."
Lu Xinghe shook his head repeatedly.
"You are a girl. It's not good for you to live in the open air. I can be here alone. Besides, I also said that I would go to Uncle Jianqi's house and bring a dog to look at the bricks with me."
These days, only wealthy families can afford to keep dogs at home.
"Mom, which household does Uncle Jianqi belong to?"
There was a hint of uneasiness on Yun Cuihe's face: "It's the Li Zheng family. Li Zheng in Banpo Village is called Lu Jianqi. His grandfather and Grandpa Xinghe's grandfather are cousins. Although they are separated by five or six generations, they are still the same in the village." They are all related to each other."
Chu Yue said oh, thinking that this relative was really far away.
After the family stayed in the mountains for a while, Lu Tiesheng came with a tall dog.
"Dad, you are here."
Lu Tiesheng glanced at Yun Cuihe: "You are still sick. Why don't you rest in the house? What are you doing here in the mountains?"
Yun Cuihe smiled and said, "Dad, my health is much better now. In the past two days, I was able to go up the mountain with Xingping Xingan to look for wild vegetables."
Since the birth of brothers Lu Xingping and Lu Xingan, Yunshi has been sick all the time. Unexpectedly, when Xinghe got married, not only was she lucky, but Yunshi's health also improved.
Lu Tiesheng's normally stern face suddenly burst into a smile.
"Okay, as long as you feel well, go down the mountain. Your mother just told me to ask you to go down to eat first."
Lu Xinghe immediately took the dog leash from Lu Tiesheng's hand, "Master, go and eat too. I'll just watch from here."
Lu Tiesheng angrily snatched the dog leash back from Lu Xinghe's hand.
"You brat, hurry up and eat. I don't have time to take care of you yet. If you want to come later, come over later. Read more books in the house during the day. Your fourth uncle is at the foot of the mountain. If you shout about anything, he will do it. It’s coming.”
Lu Xinghe couldn't defeat his grandfather, so he could only follow Yun Cuihe down the mountain.
It was Lu Yufang who opened the courtyard door for them. As soon as they came in, she took Chu Yue to look at the herbs she had picked recently: "Yueyue, come and help me take a look to see if I have mistaken the herbs. "
While the two little girls were communicating, Yun Cuihe went to the kitchen. At this moment, the fourth sibling Jiang Xiuqin and her mother-in-law Wang Xuelan were busy in the kitchen.
"Mom, my fourth brother and sister, do you need my help?"
Jiang Xiuqin said hurriedly: "No need, Sister-in-law. If you're not feeling well, just sit down. It's just food for a few people. You'll be fine soon."
Wang Xuelan heard this and hurriedly stopped Jiang Xiuqin.
"You are from the fourth family. Needless to say, the third daughter-in-law is in good health now."
"Oh?" Jiang Xiuqin looked at Yun Cuihe in surprise, "It's a good thing that Sister-in-law is in good health. Look at my mouth. I'm talking nonsense."
Yun Cuihe smiled indifferently.
"It's okay, fourth brother and sister, I also want to discuss something with you."
"What's wrong?" Jiang Xiuqin wiped the sweat from her forehead, "That's what Third Sister-in-law said. I asked you to help me sell herbal medicine before. Recently, our family Yufang picked some more. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you." Help sell it.”
"These are all small things. When Yueyue and Xinghe go to town, they can just come and pick them up at home." She pursed her lips and said sternly, "That's right, Xinghe has been studying during the day recently, which has delayed him for too many years. , now that he has finally picked up the book, things at home can no longer delay him, so I would like to ask the fourth child if he is free and ask him to help look at the foundation of my new house? "
Jiang Xiuqin and Wang Xuelan looked at each other, stretched their necks and shouted: "Shou Cheng, come here."
Lu Shoucheng, who was sitting with brother Lu Xinghe and talking, heard his wife's call and hurriedly responded and trotted towards the kitchen.
"What's wrong? What's the matter?"
Jiang Xiuqin repeated what Yun Cuihe had just said.
"You've been free lately anyway, so go and help."
Lu Shoucheng slapped his thigh and said, "Hey, what do I think it is? Didn't I agree before that I would help? Don't worry about those brick and mortar sisters-in-law. Dad and I will watch over them and take good care of them."
Yun Cuihe was overjoyed.
"Then it's time to worry about the fourth brother, but we don't want your help in vain. Xinghe also told me that the eldest brother, the second brother, and the fourth brother are building a house in our family. There are few people in our family to help. When our family builds a house, the eldest brother, the second brother, and the fourth brother have to help each other. Any help will be counted as wages."
"The eldest brother and the second brother are official laborers who build the house. According to the rules, it is thirty cents a day. If the fourth brother does a small job and looks at bricks at night, from now on I will give you thirty cents a day. Do you think it is appropriate? ?”
