Chapter 24: Packing Up
Qiao Xiaoru smiled and said, "What my mother said is reasonable!" Wait until you worship Du Po before moving! By the way, I went to Lizheng to get the title deed and the house deed! Let's go to the backyard and have a look! ”
The four of them didn't expect that the backyard was no smaller than the front yard, and it seemed that it was originally a vegetable patch. Du Po didn't want to cause more trouble, so she simply surrounded the vegetable garden in the yard, which could also reduce the number of times she went out.
Tian was even more satisfied when he saw such a wide place, and thought about growing vegetables here.
Qiao Xiaoru was also very satisfied, but she had other plans.
If you must open up a vegetable garden here, at most open a small piece of bed in the corner next to you to plant some garlic seedlings, chives, leeks, coriander, celery, ginger and other seasonings, and at most a few peppers.
Anyway, your own vegetable garden is very close to here, and you can see it a few steps out of the yard door, so why bother to provoke insects?
After looking at it, everyone was very happy, happily discussing how to clean up, how to build, and how to do it in the future, and the more they talked, the more interested they became. Although the stupid husband is still ignorant, he can see that his mother, daughter-in-law, and little bean sprouts are all smiling so happily, and he also grins and laughs.
Qiao Xiaoru finally didn't have to answer the question of whether her mother-in-law lived or not.
After going back, Qiao Xiaoru touched a handful of copper coins and gave them to the little bean sprouts, and asked him to go to the small grocery store in the village to buy incense, candles, money, and paper, and then go one more trip to buy some oil and come back, and then ask if there are any rapeseed for sale by the way.
Tian was not at ease, so he accompanied the little bean sprouts to go together.
Qiao Xiaoru instructed the foolish husband to look after the house, and went to the house to talk about the house.
Qiao Xiaoru thought about it, there are still four or five acres of vacant land near the yard suitable for building a house, and when you have money in the future, you can buy it all and build a big yard!
Li Zheng was very happy and promised her that he could get the title deed to her within three days.
Qiao Xiaoru thanked him and asked Li Zheng a few more things.
First, where does the wood for building a house usually go to get it? Ask him to introduce four or five loyal men who are strong and able to work to help fetch timber, and the wages will be converted into rice according to the market.
Second, I don't know where to buy tiles? The third is that I don't know who will do carpentry work such as doors, windows, and planks in the village or nearby villages?
It doesn't matter if the house is made of wood, but the roof Qiao Xiaoru is determined to use tiles, and absolutely no thatch!
Otherwise, it will rain heavily outside and there will be light rain at home, and you will have to climb the roof to repair it when it rains, so don't be too sour on that day!
What's more, winter is coming soon, and although there is little rain in winter, it won't rain all winter!
In the cold winter, the wind and rain are bitter, and the roof is ticking and leaking, in case of the wind cold, this is a big or small thing.
As for the doors and windows, everything else can be improvised, but the courtyard door must be strong!
Thinking about the family background of five taels of silver, Qiao Xiaoru wanted to scold her mother very much, so she had to inquire about the price by the way.
Li Zheng listened to her ask and smiled: "You are careful, you are very good at living!" "It's not too troublesome, I said it all one by one.
Qiao Xiaoru secretly remembered it in her heart, and said with a smile.
Back home, the little bean sprouts and Tian Shijing bought all the things back.
Tian Shijing instructed the little bean sprouts to cook the rice, and when he saw Qiao Xiaoru, he said: "That, Xiaoru, do you want to buy some pork to worship!" This, I asked Huaixuan to cook rice, but it can't just be rice! ”
This is a big event, which is directly related to whether Du Po will be satisfied and whether he will bless his family, and Tian is still very willing. You can't boil a green vegetable to worship, can you?
Qiao Xiaoru didn't expect her mother-in-law to be so anxious, three points more anxious than herself, and smiled helplessly.
Don't look at the mother-in-law's panic and hesitation when she first separated, but in fact, as long as she can, she also wants to divide and is very reluctant to share the two rooms!
"I don't think I'll buy pork," Qiao Xiaoru thought for a while and said, "Let's find a neighbor to buy two eggs, well, I don't know if the fish in the river are good or not, why don't you get a fish!" ”
Every penny has to be spent on the steel blade!
"There are a lot of fish in the river, I'll catch one!" Xiao Dou Sprout's eyes lit up and he immediately said, without waiting for Qiao Xiaoru and Tian to say anything.
Tian thinks about it, boiling a fish, plus a bowl of fried eggs, well, it's enough, right?
smiled softly: "Almost every family in the egg village has it, then I'll go to Sister-in-law Zhang's house to buy it!" One is two pennies. ”
Qiao Xiaoru counted four copper plates to Tian's and told Tian to walk slowly and be careful on the road.
Tian let out a "hey" and shook his weak body.
Qiao Xiaoru rubbed her forehead, feeling a little messy in the wind! This feeling, how can I look like a mother-in-law, and Tian's is like a daughter-in-law!
The little bean sprouts came back soon, the trouser legs, sleeves, and placket were a little wet, and he was holding a fish with his body twisting in one hand, it seemed that it should be a carp crucian carp or something, Qiao Xiaoru said that he didn't know, and one weighed about half a catty.
"So fast! Put the fish in the basin and you go and change your wet clothes! Qiao Xiaoru said busily.
The foolish husband who was pestering Qiao Xiaoru immediately brought the wooden basin over with a smile and added a scoop of water to the basin.
"There are so many fish in the river! Such a small one is easy to catch! Little Bean Sprouts put the fish down, washed his hands with a smile, and squatted on the side with the two foolish husbands to watch the fish.
"Don't people in the village like fish?" Qiao Xiaoru asked in surprise, and at the same time secretly said in her heart: In this case, can you catch more and come back to eat? Stew more fish soup for your mother-in-law and small bean sprouts......
The little bean sprouts pursed their lips in disgust and said, "It's so fishy, who likes to eat it!" I don't feel good in my mouth for several days after eating it! ”
Qiao Xiaoru was stunned for a moment, and then she understood when she thought about it.
Crucian carp and carp have a strong fishy smell, and generally speaking, these two fish are the most abundant in the river. When making such fish, it has to be fried on high heat, and green onions, ginger, and cooking wine must be added to remove the fishy smell.
But green onion and ginger are easy to say, how many families have wine at home? I'm afraid I haven't had cooking wine this year, right? As for frying, how many are willing to use so much oil? On weekdays, you can only use a small half spoon or even a few drops to fry a bowl of vegetables!
It's no wonder that the fish smells fishy.
Qiao Xiaoru didn't continue the topic, but just urged the little bean sprouts to change her clothes.
The little bean sprouts said that it was okay, but got up and went obediently.
Soon Tian bought two eggs and came back, handed the eggs to Qiao Xiaoru, and said happily: "Xiaoru, Sister-in-law Zhang said, there are still many vegetable seedlings in her vegetable garden, and there are also leftover rapeseeds, let's just use them to get them at her house!" ”
He also said: "Sister-in-law Zhang is a good person, and she has a good relationship with me!" In this kind of trivial matter, we don't need to be polite! ”
