Chapter 146 146. Renovation of the house
At seven o'clock the next day, it was already dawn. Lin Qingxi opened her eyes and was woken up by the dazzling sun that shot in. She looked at the side and remembered that Lin Qingping and his wife had returned last night. Looking at Xu Ling and two girls who were still sleeping, she got up gently, closed the door and walked out.
"Little sister, you're up, have your sister-in-law and the others woke up?" As soon as Lin Qingxi came out, she saw Lin Qingping and Zhou Mingming exercise in the yard.
"Not yet, let them sleep for a while! Brother, what do you want to eat in the morning?" Lin Qingxi asked in a low voice as she looked at Lin Qingping.
"I can do it, not picky about food," Lin Qingping said casually, continuing to exercise.
"Brother Ming, please help me kill a chicken and stew it at noon," Lin Qingxi looked at Zhou Mingbai, who was exercising, and spoke without any politeness at all.
After she said that, she went into the kitchen, took out her toothbrush from the cabinet and went to the well to wash. After washing, she washed her face with cold water, and went into the kitchen to cook porridge.
Lin Qingxi cooked a pot of brown rice porridge, then put twenty eggs in the porridge, and stir-fryed a stack of dried beans. While she was still cooking brown rice porridge, Xu Ling and the children got up one after another, especially Lin Yizheng and Lin Yirong, who saw their parents together, and couldn't wait to come over.
He said: "Dad, we came from home. My sister-in-law spent a lot of money. Then, I spent a lot of money on buying things and buying bricks to build a house in the imperial capital. My mother and I have to give the money to my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law has to support the four of us, so you can't let her suffer."
Lin Yizheng thought he was very quiet, but in fact everyone heard it. Everyone looked at him with some laughter and tears, especially Lin Qingping, who felt so sad that his son was in vain and his mind was not on him.
"Dad, have you heard it? Why don't you say?" Seeing that Lin Qingping didn't say anything, Lin Yirong urged him.
Lin Qingping didn't want to pay attention to his two sons, so he turned around and left. Lin Yizheng and Lin Yirong probably noticed the abnormality of others. They touched their heads embarrassedly, so they went to wash up, intending to go to Xu Ling to talk about this later.
Everyone else looked at the brothers with amusement, and no one laughed at them, especially Lin Qingxi, and was very moved.
When Lin Qingxi finished cooking breakfast, everyone was eating. The four people who brought bricks to work yesterday came to work. Seeing them coming, Lin Qingxi took them to Zhou Mingbai and opened the door next door, and the others continued to eat.
After breakfast, Xu Ling took over the work of cleaning up the dishes and asked the children to go to the next door to do their jobs. Xiang Yijing and Xie Lu also wanted to go with her, but were stopped by Lin Qingxi because the dirty clothes at home had not been washed yet, so the two were left to wash the clothes.
The next door started to make a loud noise. In order to facilitate entry and exit between the two sides, Zhou Mingbai and Lin Qingping knocked out a three-meter-wide and two-meter-long aisle in the middle of the wall. Fortunately, the wall was three meters high, so the knock-off part would not look ugly.
Picking up the bricks and piled them next to them. Lin Qingping's young children cleaned the corners and began to build a house with a few older children and the four of them.
Lin Qingping and Zhou Mingming would do the job of building a house. They took three children together and started building a house. The yard was covered with blue bricks and there was no need to re-build the foundation. You can just build a house on the blue bricks, which saved a lot of effort.
The next door was busy, and the four lesbians Lin Qingxi and the others were also very busy. After washing the clothes, they hung them in the corner next to the door, and then went to the kitchen to prepare lunch. There were many people eating, so they had to prepare breakfast.
"Sister-in-law, you stew this chicken first, Jingjing, you can set the fire for your beauties, Lulu goes to the well to wash vegetables, wash all these vegetables, I will soak dried mushrooms, dried fungus and bamboo shoots first, and I will wash vegetables with you later."
Lin Qingxi was very relieved that Xie Lu was washing vegetables by the well alone, because the well in the yard was a water pressing well, and the wellhead was covered with stone slabs, so there was no need to worry that the child would fall.
"Okay, should I eat the braised vegetables in the bucket for lunch or?" Xu Ling said with curiosity and looked at the wooden bucket. She ate a few pieces of braised large intestine last night, and she was a little greedy.
"Eat chicken for lunch today, and eat the braised dishes tomorrow! You can take them out and cut them later," Lin Qingxi shook her head. There are so many dishes at noon that are already rich enough.
"Okay, listen to you," Xu Ling nodded, and started working without saying anything. Fortunately, the chicken was packed in the morning, so she would just chop it into pieces and stew it in the pot.
Lin Qingxi took a kettle from the living room, soaked dried mushrooms, dried fungus and bamboo shoots with hot water, and then went to the well to wash vegetables with Xie Lu.
"Sister-in-law, pour out the hot water in the kettle and let it cool! Before you stew the chicken, boil a pot of boiling water and let it cool for the children to eat. It's too hot, so it's not good to drink hot water," Lin Qingxi shouted into the kitchen while washing the vegetables.
"Okay, I understand," Xu Ling responded and worked.
Next door, the adults and the children cooperated very well. The adults were responsible for building houses, and the children were responsible for mixing cement and sand to mix paste and transporting bricks. Although they were tired and hot, none of the children left and they were all very well done.
The four houses next door were built in two days. In addition to the good cooperation between adults and children, the four houses were not big, and they were all over 30 bungalows. There was also a kang in the room. There was nothing in the newly built room except kang.
After the room next door was built, on the third day, Zhou Mingming and they made the arch wall and then started to build a new kitchen and bathroom. The previous bathroom was built with a simple shed, bathing, and other inconvenience.
The new kitchen and bathroom took a day and a half to get it done, and then it was built. In addition to the stove, Lin Qingxi also made Zhou Mingxi build two tables in the kitchen, one to put things and the other to cut vegetables and so on.
Of course, while everyone is working hard, they cannot do without Lin Qingxi and Xu Ling's food. The two have never been stingy people. On the first day, they stewed chicken and had a few vegetables. On the second day, they stewed pork with braised pigs, and they also stewed a few vegetables. On the third day, they stewed fish with tofu, and they still stewed chicken and braised pork.
The food was so good, the four people worked very well. It only took four days to renovate the house. On the afternoon of the fourth day, Lin Qingping and his group demolished the stove in the old kitchen, blocked the original door, opened a door in the living room, and then built a new kang.
Looking at the brand new house, everyone was in a very beautiful mood. Xu Ling and Lin Qingping even took a thousand to Lin Qingxi. Lin Qingxi didn't want to accept it at first, but Lin Yizheng's brother "interference" from it, so she had to take the money.
