Chapter 142 142. Clean up the house
"Okay, I'm fine. I understand. Brother, can you find someone to come and tear the wall down, and then make an arch here to enter and exit, block the door there, build four more houses here, two more rooms there, and a bathroom here for bathing, and a shed in these two corners for placing debris or raising bicycles..."
Lin Qingxi said while pulling Zhou Mingbai around the yard. Everyone knew that she bought the next door, so she naturally understood her intention to renovate the house.
"Okay, I will take Yizheng and Yirong out in the afternoon. I will go find someone to buy some bricks and cement first. Just find a few people to help with the work. You can see what else you need to buy later. Take Mingren and some older children out to buy in the afternoon, so that the remaining children can clean the family," Zhou Mingbai nodded. After listening to his wife's words, he had already had a solution in his mind.
"Okay, then you are careful. You can buy more. Then you can build a table by the well. We can bake things. After two days, I will take you to the house there to see if you want to change it. I plan to give Yizheng and Yirong two houses here to make the Lin family base camp. The house there will be our Zhou family base camp," Lin Qingxi said with a smile, not knowing what Zhou Mingmeng thought after hearing her words.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. You are the leader in our family," Zhou Mingbai said without thinking.
"I understand, then you have to listen to me in the future," Lin Qingxi said with her head tilted, her tone full of smiles, as if you would be miserable if you don't listen to me.
After everyone had a rest, Lin Qingxi took Yijing and Xie Lu to prepare lunch in the kitchen. Lin Yizheng and Lin Yirong felt sorry for the young people, so he asked Lin Qingxi for the key next door and took everyone to clean next door.
Lin Qingxi and Zhou knew that seeing the children were so self-conscious and proactive, they would go with them. It would be a good thing to have their own ideas when the children grew up, and as long as they didn’t do bad things, she wouldn’t care.
"Jingjing, go and wash these chili and beans and eggplants. Lulu, put the fire on the fire, brush the pot and boil a pot of hot water into the kettle. I'll deal with the fish," Lin Qingxi looked at the vegetables Zhou Mingbai bought, including a piece of pork belly, two big stick bones and a fish, two pieces of white tofu, as well as some green peppers, beans and eggplant cucumbers.
"I understand, my sister-in-law," the two girls are very obedient and work neatly. Although Lin Qingxi spoiled them, she would still use them to do things so conveniently that she would not waste them.
Lin Qingxi ignored them and took the fish and went to the well to kill the fish. After she processed the fish and cut it into pieces, she took it to the kitchen and marinated it with salt and ginger slices.
After the pot was empty, Lin Qingxi started to cook fish. She fryed the fish pieces slightly, then added slices of ginger and salt, and then simmered them with hot water that had just been boiled. After stewing for about twenty minutes, she cut the tofu into pieces and put it in the pot to continue stewing.
"Jingjing, take it for me after the vegetables are washed," Lin Qingxi shouted at the door now. In a few minutes, Xiang Yijing packed the washed vegetables in a basin and delivered them.
Lin Qingxi cut some green peppers into a bowl, and then asked Xiang Yijing to cut the remaining vegetables, diced pork belly, sliced eggplant, cut beans into pieces, and cut some green onion slices.
The smell of fish came from the pot. Lin Qingxi opened the lid of the pot and poured the green peppers in the bowl, then added a little soy sauce, and finally threw the green onion slices into the pot, and then the fish stewed tofu was released.
Needless to say, pork belly is made into braised pork, fried beans, fried eggplant with chili peppers, and big stick bones are kept for eating at night, and cucumbers are also kept for eating at night.
"It's time to eat," Lin Qingxi stood at the kitchen door and shouted outside after cooking, and then took the two children to bring the prepared dishes to the living room.
Then, she asked the two children to take the dishes and chopsticks into the living room, went back to the kitchen and poured hot water into a pot of noodles.
Zhou Mingming didn't buy rice, so he bought ten kilograms of noodles, so Lin Qingxi could only cook noodles for everyone to eat. The noodles were served in the pot, and she also took two bottles of sauce from the cupboard to the living room.
"Have the noodles been cooked?" Before the people arrived, the voice came. Lin Qingxi looked at Zhou Mingren who was still at the door and shook her head, then turned over and stirred the noodles in the pot with chopsticks, covered the lid to continue cooking.
"You ask the children to eat some food first. The noodles will have to be cooked for two minutes. In the afternoon, I have to find a way to buy some food. We can't eat noodles with meals!" Lin Qingxi said while adding a few pieces of firewood to the stove. The firewood was left by the owner.
"I know, I'll buy it in the afternoon," Zhou Mingbai nodded. He knew that his wife was right and could not eat noodles every day.
After chatting for a few words, Lin Qingxi took the lid of the pot and picked up the noodles. She confirmed that it was cooked and could eat it. She took the washed basin to serve the noodles.
"Brother Understand, you bring it to the living room and let the children eat it first. I will cook a pot of noodles again." Lin Qingxi thought about the appetite of more than ten children. Not only did the younger ones, but almost all the larger ones had a big appetite. Her pot of noodles was only cooked a pack of noodles, which was only two pounds, which was definitely not enough.
"Okay, you should be almost done with another pot," Zhou Mingbai said and went to the living room with the noodles. The children were not polite. They lined up to pick up noodles one by one, and they all took it themselves, picking up as much as they eat. If not enough, they would come back after eating.
Soon, the second pot of noodles was cooked, and Zhou Mingbai brought the empty basin over. After Lin Qingxi put the second pot of noodles out of the pot, she was afraid that everyone would not be full, so she put half a pound of noodles to continue cooking, and then she went to the living room to have a meal.
"Eat it quickly! Half a pound of noodles was cooked in the pot. If you don't have enough, you will add it yourself. You have to finish the dishes on the table. Just cook them in the evening." Lin Qingxi looked at the dishes that were only half missing on the table, knowing that everyone wanted to wait for her to eat together.
Lin Qingxi, Xiang Yijing and Xie Lu had a small appetite. None of them ate much. The rest were all made by gay men, especially the brothers Zhou Mingbai and Lin Yizheng and Lin Yirong, who had half a pound of noodles left in the pot. The three of them had divided the dishes on the table.
After eating and drinking, everyone felt a little sleepy. Lin Qingxi asked the younger ones to go back to the house to rest. Lin Yizheng and Lin Yirong took Zhou Mingren to the kitchen to clean up the dishes, and Zhou Mingbai also took Lin Qingxi back to the house to sleep.
When she woke up, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. Lin Qingxi went to the well to wash her face, but she realized that she had not seen Zhou Ming at home. She remembered what she said in the morning and knew that he should have gone out to buy things.
The children also woke up one after another. After waking up, they asked to sit in the living room to play and clean the house. Everyone didn't know what to do for a while. They wanted to go out to play, but were not familiar with the environment, so they didn't dare to go out.
