The two children were happy because they missed her as their biological mother.
But Li Dazhong was lukewarm towards her. He was willing to talk to her, but he was only willing to talk about business matters and not a word of gossip.
Although he didn't sleep in the same bed with her at night, he didn't make trouble with her like before. She wanted to reconcile and took the initiative to lean into his arms, but he turned over and turned his back to her!
Li Dazhong's attitude made her dare not speak her mind right now.
Han Xiaoyan didn't say anything, but Li Dao couldn't help it.
What a great opportunity!
Seeing that Li Dazhong had finished his meal and was about to take a shower, Li Dao called out to him: "Dazhong, Li Qiao is going to build a house."
"It has nothing to do with us. Our families no longer have contact with each other." Li Dazhong said calmly.
"What are you talking about, you bastard!" Li Dao glared at him: "Based on your friendship with him, if you work as a foreman, you will at least be as good as Dashan, earning sixty coppers a day!"
Sixty coppers?
Han Xiaoyan was shocked when he heard these words.
Li Dashan’s wages have increased?
Li Dashan can earn sixty cents. As Li Dashan's cousin, how can Li Dazhong earn sixty cents a day? At least eighty cents!
When she thought of the heavy copper plates, she couldn't help it anymore: "Dazhong, why don't you try it? We're not greedy for Li Qiao's bricks and wood, we'll just be a foreman and get paid honestly. It’s nothing, right?”
Hearing this, Zhao Erniu nodded fiercely. Her tongue still hurt and it was difficult to speak, so she did not speak and just nodded.
"No, if you say no contact, you really don't have contact. You have given up on this. If I know that you are looking for Li Qiao in private, then this day will be forgotten."
Li Dazhong kept a straight face and spoke firmly, leaving no room for negotiation.
Li Dao stamped his feet angrily: "Why can't I go? I'm going!"
"If you go, when you grow old in the future, I won't support you in your old age!" Li Dazhong's face darkened.
Li Dao: "!"
This is outrageous!
Han Xiaoyan: "..."
This Li Dazhong is so selfish!
Now it's not like I'm asking Li Qiao for prescriptions. I just want to be a foreman. She won't let her go, and I don't even look at how much money the family has spent on treating her mother-in-law!
A big war broke out again.
Li Qiao didn't know about the war at the moment. Li Qiao and Tao Zhu were sitting at the table, studying the layout of the new house with the faint light of the oil lamp.
According to the common layout here in Sanliu Village, there are three main rooms, three east rooms, and three west rooms, plus a kitchen and utility room.
Each family adds or deletes rooms on this basis according to their own family circumstances. For example, the villagers, because there are so many people, they don't divide the rooms, so they add a courtyard with the same layout on this basis, which is equivalent to a large courtyard with two entrances.
Li Qiao plans to imitate the banker and build a two-entry yard. The front yard will be used for making snacks, and the back yard will be a happy home for him and Tao Zhu, where they can play as they like.
"Here, here is the shower room. The floor is paved with blue bricks. Then use the green bricks to create a sewer. Put a few large buckets on the shelf and drill a hole in the bottom of the big buckets."
"It's hot in summer, and the sun can directly heat the water in the bucket. We only need to fill the bucket with water in the morning, and we can use it however we want during the day."
"It's just the two of us in the backyard. It's okay to run around naked."
After saying this, Tao Zhu couldn't help but pat him: "Shameless. If someone sees you, just dig a hole and get in."
Even though he said this, his cheeks couldn't help but heat up.
That scene is really a happy hometown...
"The backyard is our private property. When the time comes, we will install a gate and no one will be allowed in except us."
Li Qiao said confidently.
Newlyweds should not be ashamed like this.
"...Let's talk about the foreman." Tao Zhu changed the subject. If he continued talking, he would probably go to bed.
But the business is not finished yet.
When he and Li Qiao wanted to make snacks, they couldn't keep an eye on the affairs of the new house, so they had to find a foreman to be the supervisor and even responsible for the purchase.
Therefore, this choice is very important.
"Foreman, I want to find Brother Dazhong, but he will definitely not take this job." Li Qiao was also thinking about this matter, so he followed Tao Zhu's words and changed the subject.
"I see that Sister-in-law Yan hasn't caused any trouble in the past two days. How about we ask Brother Dazhong?" Tao Zhu said.
"Okay. If he doesn't answer, then let's find our second uncle." Li Qiao said.
"Okay. However, I'm afraid it will cost more than two hundred taels of silver to build this yard." Tao Zhu looked at the paper in front of him, feeling a little worried.
There are two big yards, and we need to buy corresponding furniture.
"It doesn't matter. As for furniture, let's save it slowly. Build a bed today and a wardrobe the next day. Anyway, we are not in a hurry to use it now."
Li Qiao is not worried at all.
"Okay, now that we've finished our business, it's time for us to rest." Li Qiao said, putting down the brush in his hand.
Hearing this, Tao Zhu immediately said, "Then you go and lie down, and I'll massage you."
He was still thinking about it.
"I didn't walk a lot today, so I didn't need to press. I took the village chief's ox cart to go to the county seat."
Li Qiao shook his head.
"Isn't it tiring to sit in an ox-cart? Sitting in an ox-cart is also very tiring. Go and lie down." Tao Zhu insisted and stood up from the bench, holding one of his arms with both hands to pull him up.
"..."
Li Qiao's eyes became meaningful.
He stood up following Tao Zhu's strength and walked towards the bed with Tao Zhu: "Since you insist on pressing it, I'll teach you."
"It's just a click, I can."
"No, you won't."
"...I just know how to do it." Tao Zhu's eyes widened a bit. This was too much to underestimate him. How could he not even press his legs and feet?
"I mean press like this." Li Qiao lowered his head and explained in his ear what kind of massage he wanted.
Before he could finish speaking, Tao Zhu's earlobes were so red that they were about to bleed. The hands holding his arms subconsciously tightened, and her whole body pressed against him.
"You know now, right? You really don't know how."
Li Qiao said and kissed his earlobe.
Tao Zhu: "..."
The wetness made half of his body numb, and he gritted his teeth: "Where did you know this?"
He had never heard of such a trick.
No, let alone hearing about it, if this person hadn't told him at this time, he wouldn't even be able to imagine it.
"I think about it myself. I can draw inferences about other cases when making snacks, not to mention the happiness with you. I'm full of fantastic ideas on this matter. Isn't it strange?"
Li Qiao gave a serious explanation.
Tao Zhu: "..."
He was speechless.
"So, I will show you first, and when you have learned it, you can press it properly for me." Li Qiao said again.
"...Then don't make me feel too comfortable, or I will lose my strength." Tao Zhu said quietly but seriously.
He didn't want to be like last time. He was supposed to press the button on this person, but in the end, he lost all his strength due to the torture.
"Okay, okay, don't worry. Let's do it once, and everyone can enjoy it."
Li Qiao responded.
Massage, he really doesn't mind doing it every day.
So, that night, Tao Zhu gritted his teeth and forced himself to do what he wanted to do.
He didn't know whether Li Qiao used this to relieve his fatigue, but in the end he was so tired that he had no strength at all.
It’s so tiring, I will definitely not play like this next time!

The author has something to say:
Hey guys, I’m going to another province to attend my friend’s wedding tomorrow and won’t be back until the 4th, so I can’t guarantee the updates in the past few days. I’ll definitely update more QAQ when I get back.
Chapter 50 Let Li Chuntao participate and raise wages
After too much trouble the night before, Tao Zhu felt so weak when he got up the next day that he just wanted to lie down and sleep in.
But it was impossible to sleep, there was a lot of work to do, and if he was really allowed to lie down, he would not be able to sleep.
While Li Dashan wasn't paying attention, he couldn't help but give Li Qiao an eye with a knife. He would never play this trick again in a short time.
Li Qiao touched his nose. Indeed, it felt comfortable. After all, Tao Zhu's calloused hands had squeezed every bone in his body last night.
But it was too comfortable, as if every bone was suffering from laziness, which affected work very much.
As a superpower, he just wanted to lie down, let alone Tao Zhu.
Right now, I am busy building a house and making snacks. I really shouldn’t do this every day.
"Brother Zhu, I'll make you something fresh for lunch." He said, intending to make Tao Zhu happy with delicious food.
"What are you going to do?" Tao Zhu looked at him sideways with a pair of watery eyes.
"Steamed rice balls, the book says, this is the way to eat them at Qingtuan. I'll make you one with egg yolk and pork floss that you like."
"... rice balls?" Tao Zhu's eyes widened. This was the first time he had heard of this kind of food.
