Zhou Fuxi, who thought it would take a lot of time to find him, met him when he arrived here. Wu Qingyuan was in a very good mood.

His purpose of coming here is just to live a stable life. So far, Liushu Village has given him a good feeling. He likes it very much, and he promised Lin Laogen to help his family Lin Amo's face. village.

And brother Zhou, since he promised Zhou Daniu to help take care of him, he can't just find it and leave it alone. Although he is weak by nature, he has always been a principled person. From now on, he will be a younger brother. Not bad for a loner like him.

From rebirth to now, after struggling for so long, I can finally settle down.

The idea of ​​a better life in the future made Wu Qingyuan full of energy for a while, and the next day he took the initiative to find the old village head to solve the house problem. He couldn't live in Lin's house all the time, and these things had to be done as soon as possible.

During this period of time, there wasn't much work in the fields, and every household was relatively idle. As soon as he came to the door, the old village head didn't delay, and immediately took him to see the vacant houses in the village.

These are left behind by the villagers who have moved their household registrations and settled down elsewhere. They are not particularly good houses. They must have sold a good house to make money, so how could they keep it for nothing.

So what Wu Qingyuan saw were all the most common mud houses in the village. In addition, they had been vacant for a long time and no one lived in them. The houses were dilapidated, overgrown with weeds, and extremely rotten.

But fortunately, the ancient people built their houses sincerely. Every household was repaired by themselves, and the materials and workmanship were guaranteed. Therefore, these houses looked dilapidated, but they were still solid, and they could be lived in with a little cleaning and repairing. .

Although Wu Qingyuan was a little dissatisfied, he would have to wait at least several months to rebuild it. At this moment, he could only settle for a while, and build a big house after everything was straightened out.

The formalities of the house were done very quickly, and the next step was the repair work.

There is no special construction team here, and house repairs are essential skills for men in the village. Wu Qingyuan simply asked Lin Laogen for help, and spent money to hire a few honest villagers to help.

In terms of wages, he is very generous. According to the rules of the village, the labor of building a house is [-] Wen a day and food is included, and he gives [-] Wen a day.

It's not that he has too much money to spend, but that he just repaired the house. It didn't take as long to build the house. Everyone gets more wages, so naturally they work hard. It doesn't cost too much. You can build a good relationship with the villagers with just a penny, which is a good deal.

As Wu Qingyuan expected, on the second day after paying the wages to the workers, the attitude of the villagers towards him rose again.

When I met my relatives before, the villagers actually had a good impression of him. He is handsome, polite, and he sounds like he has been educated. This kind of rough people in the village is very popular among a group of illiterate people. .

Now looking at how much he paid for repairing the house, anyone who understands can guess that he is at least not a poor man, so he is naturally more pleasing to the eye.

It's not that everyone dislikes the poor and loves the rich and is greedy for something. This is a very normal behavior. After all, everyone lives in the village, and all important things are done together. Everyone prospers and everyone loses. No one wants to be a poor ghost to bring down the village. Quality of life.

Especially when Zhou Geer, who was suffering from suffering, came out wearing new clothes and looked good, the villagers had an even better impression of him. Zhou Geer was very popular in the village, and seeing the poor child finally live a good life , there is a good elder to take care of him. Except for the original Zhou family, most people in the village are very happy.

The repair of the house was going on lively. Wu Qingyuan, Lin Laogen and a few villagers worked together. Lin Amo and Zhou Geer helped to deliver the meal for everyone at noon.

At noon, Lin Amo and Brother Zhou came over with food on time.

"Father, Brother Wu, Second Uncle, Uncle Zhang, Uncle Wang, come to eat soon..."

"cousin......"

The two teenagers put down their things and greeted them.

Compared with Lin Amo's lively and outgoing personality, Zhou Geer greeted Wu Qingyuan awkwardly, and then hurriedly took a spoon to help everyone serve food. He seemed a little introverted and not good at expressing.

But in fact, Brother Zhou is not considered introverted, but he is not as lively as Lin Amo. He is still quite hot on weekdays, but after more than ten years of suffering, he has an extra cousin who takes care of him overnight. Well-dressed and well-dressed, he felt like a dream, and he felt a little uncomfortable all of a sudden.

Wu Qingyuan didn't take his embarrassment to heart. It's normal for Brother Zhou not to adapt to the sudden change in his life. It will be good to get used to it after a while.

After a whole morning's work, everyone was tired and hungry. The food he prepared was also very good. One meat and one vegetable plus steamed corn bread, which was much better than other meals that only had vegetarian dishes. Everyone ate very deliciously.

The weather is very hot now, Wu Qingyuan did not let everyone continue to work after dinner, sitting in the shade of a tree to rest and chat, this will not delay anything, the villagers who came to help work fast, there is no shortage of rest time.

There are actually very few topics to chat with the villagers. It’s not about this year’s field harvest, or gossip about who’s in the village and what’s wrong with them.

But being ordinary also has ordinary fun. Only those who have really experienced the pain and despair of the storm will realize how rare and precious the ordinary is.

But Wu Qingyuan likes this kind of plain warmth, his greatest wish now is to settle down as soon as possible, and then find someone he likes to live with.

Drinking mung bean soup to cool off the summer heat, chatting with a few villagers, apart from the fact that the weather is too hot and there is no air conditioner, Wu Qingyuan is still very satisfied except that the living standard in ancient times is relatively backward.

"Brother Ang, the weather is not too hot now, and it will be the hottest in a few days. In fact, it's not bad. You can take a bath with cold water and eat a few watermelons. It's just sad in winter. It's useless to hide in the house and put the quilt on..."

Hearing that the weather was too hot, Lin Amo, who was sitting next to him, laughed and handed him another bowl of mung bean soup while talking.

"Brother Lin is right. I hate winter the most. It's so cold that I don't want to go out. And the firewood and charcoal are too expensive. My wife always says that I don't even make enough money to burn charcoal, which is useless."

"Yes, yes, my daughter-in-law said the same thing about me, but the better charcoal costs more than ten yuan a catty, which is almost the same as eating meat. Who can afford to burn it every day..."

The people next to him echoed and sighed.

Wu Qingyuan stopped drinking the soup suddenly, and raised his head, "A catty of carbon costs more than ten yuan?"

In the past few days, he went to buy materials to repair the house, and he has a better understanding of the prices here. It is only a catty of carbon, and pork is only [-] yuan a catty. Ordinary vegetables are even cheaper. Why is carbon so expensive.

"A dozen pennies is better, and there are also cheap ones, a few pennies per catty, but cheap ones are heavy and smoke people."

Everyone knows that it is normal for him not to know when he first came, so explain patiently.

"I see."

Wu Qingyuan was relieved of the bowl, and his heart wandered.

There are also kind-hearted villagers who reminded, "By the way, Brother Wu, just now I saw that the kang in your house is broken. You can buy materials tomorrow, and you have to fix it together. Otherwise, you will not be able to live in winter. You don’t need a kang. It would cost at least five or six taels of silver to burn the charcoal open for a winter..."

"Thank you brother, I'll go buy it tomorrow, but I don't know how to repair the kang, do you know anyone?" Wu Qingyuan nodded.

"Brother Ang, you don't need to find someone else, Brother Dazhu will do it, he is the one who repairs the Kang the best in our village!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Amo picked up the conversation, pursing his lips and pointing at Zhang Dazhu, who was as thick as a bull, facing him with a pursed smile.

Originally, Lin Laogen didn't intend to ask him to help Wu Qingyuan. Although Wu Qingyuan paid [-] Wen a day, Zhang Dazhu worked as a part-time job at the landlord's house in the next village, and his salary was [-] Wen a day. It didn't make sense. Let others suffer.

But who knew that Zhang Dazhu ran over by himself on the day of the start of work, picked up the tools and started to work without saying a word. He didn't want Wu Qingyuan's money, but he insisted on helping Bai Gong.

The reason for this is that anyone who understands it knows that when he eats at noon every day, his eyes are always fixed on Brother Zhou and he doesn't move. It's too obvious!

At this moment, when Lin Amo brought the words to himself and gave him a wink, Zhang Dazhu reacted, and hurriedly scratched his head and stammered, "Yeah, I can fix it! Cousin, I will help you fix the kang tomorrow... …”

As soon as he finished speaking, all the people present burst into laughter. This Zhang Dazhu was really out of his mind, and he called his cousin directly before he married his younger brother.

Brother Zhou also glanced at him annoyedly, then shyly hid his face behind his friend, and secretly said something silly!

"That's fine, Brother Dazhu, thank you, Axi, and give Brother Dazhu a bowl of mung bean soup..."

Wu Qingyuan also couldn't help laughing, nodded, and then signaled Brother Zhou to serve another bowl of soup. Ah Xi is Brother Zhou's nickname.

Brother Zhou couldn't refuse, nodded stiffly, and obediently carried the soup over.

When Zhang Dazhu saw Brother Zhou walking in front of him, his eyes became even more idiotic. He held the soup bowl and stared at the person he liked in front of him without moving, which made everyone laugh again.

Although the parents' order and the matchmaker's words are emphasized here, it is not impossible to fall in love freely, not to mention the matter of Zhang Tiezhu and Zhou Ge'er, everyone in the village knows.

Lin Amo covered his mouth and snickered, while Lin Laogen knocked him on the head with a smile and worry, and muttered a lesson in a low voice, "You are the only one who has too much trouble, and you have learned to hold the red line, shame on you!"

Suddenly received a knock, Lin Amo rubbed his forehead aggrievedly, seeing his father looking like he wanted to make a long story, his eyes rolled, he hurriedly filled the empty bowl in his hand with soup, and ran to Wu Qingyuan .

"Brother Ang, I've boiled this mung bean all morning, it's delicious, I'll give you another bowl, drink more when it's hot."

While talking, he stuffed the bowl into Wu Qingyuan's hand, then adjusted his position and hid to Wu Qingyuan's side.

Looking back, I saw Lin Laogen who could only keep his mouth shut halfway through his speech, with a cheerful and cunning smile on his small face.

"..."

Wu Qingyuan looked down and happened to see it.

Although the bruises on the young man's face were still ugly, that cheerful smile made his heart that had been silent for a long time tremble, and he couldn't help but straighten his back to help him cover it.
