Chapter 285 A Little Goodbye is Better than a New Marriage
They are just playmates who get together on a daily basis. Just like men, women are quite bold when chatting together.
In fact, Chen Xiuyu also took the opportunity to reveal to Wang Yan that Chen Xiuqing was thinking about Wang Yan. She did not say it directly, but the meaning was expressed clearly.
Even Pu Guiying knew about it, how could Wang Yan not know about it.
Lu Lu's intention was more obvious. He directly told Wang Dalong and Wang Yan about Chen Xiuqing's plan to build a wooden ridge. In fact, it was just to show off to the father and daughter.
Having financial strength will always make it easier for people to feel at ease at any time.
Hearing Pu Guiying's joke, Wang Yan's face suddenly turned redder. She quickly turned back and scrubbed the mushrooms without saying a word, as if only the cool river water could suppress her sudden heat.
"Qingzi, how big is the house going to be?" Wang Dalong asked looking at Chen Xiuqing who was giggling.
"I also want to build the same thing as Brother Lu."
Chen Xiuqing glanced at Lu Lu's wood carvings, full of envy.
"Huh... I can't tell, Qingzi, when did you save so much money to be able to build such a big house? In the entire Xiushan Tun and Huilong Tun, no one's house is as grand as this."
Bai GouSheng said in surprise.
Lu Lu spent a lot of money on this house. More than ten people have been busy for several months, and the money alone is a lot of money.
When the other people heard this, they all looked at Chen Xiuqing in surprise, and then looked at Lu Lu.
They all know that Lu Lu has given Chen Xiuqing a lot of help. Even Chen Xiuqing can build a house, and Lu Lu... everyone starts to guess how much Lu Lu has earned!
"Where are you going to build it?" Wang Dalong asked again: "When are you going to build it?"
"I'm going to demolish my dilapidated old house and build it there. I'll start construction after you help Brother Lu finish the work... I'm wondering if I should take the time to chop down the trees first." Chen
Xiuqing smiled honestly.
"The location of your house is right on the roadside. The location is flat and spacious. It would be quite beautiful to build such a wooden ridge and carve out a good yard..."
As a carpenter in Xiushantun, Zuo Songling knew the location of Chen Xiuqing's family. Chen Xiuqing's elders left a good place for them.
"If you have time, you can chop down the trees yourself first. However, there are still a lot of things to be done here, brother Lu. If you have to demolish the house again, the things to be done are no less than those here, and the trees must be dried out.
It’s easy to use. In the blink of an eye, it will soon be autumn, and the crops will be harvested. In the blink of an eye, it will be winter. If things really start to move here, I’m afraid it will be a new year.”
Wang Dalong thought for a moment and then asked: "It's better to postpone it and cut down the trees in winter. It will save more effort. Come and build again in winter."
Lu Lu does have a lot of things to do here. After the warehouses, stables, cellars and other infrastructure are built, some fences and the like must be built to delineate several areas. In addition, according to the plan Lu Lu told him, there are also deer
Rong or something.
By the time these things are built, I'm afraid it will be winter when heavy snow falls. It's not easy to build a house in such weather.
While Wang Dalong and others were chatting with Chen Xiuqing, Lu Lu took Chen Xiuyu to the house.
He took out a large stack of dough balls from his body and handed it to Chen Xiuyu: "Put it away!"
Chen Xiuyu was shocked when she saw Lu Lu taking out so much money. She took it and counted it blankly: "Two thousand seven hundred and thirteen yuan, how come it is so much money?"
From selling the big paw, Lu Lu got a thousand and one yuan, and from selling the mallet, he got a thousand and sixty yuan. In addition to the 60 yuan hard work fee given by the district government, Lu Lu got 2,760 yuan from this trip.
The miscellaneous things didn't cost much.
"I was lucky. I carried a fourth-grade leaf stick in the mountain, and together with my master and the others, we killed the big claw that was eating people everywhere in the mountain. After the matter was settled, we divided it up a little."
Lu Lu actually felt a little weird in his heart. During this trip, he didn't sincerely go to the mountains to make money. The main reason was to invite Zhao Tuanqing.
Who knows, along the way, this is a forest deer, another is a mallet, and even the big claws that I thought I could only hit in winter, I encountered again the next day.
Raising a stick and hunting a tiger is considered great luck.
However, things are also dangerous.
When they found Bangchui, they were almost bitten by a Tuqiuzi snake. Immediately after they found Zhao Tuanqing, their Wu Leng encountered a big claw and almost had an accident. And those three people followed Bangchui so far for a fourth-grade leaf.
, Chen Xiuqing was held up with a gun, and when he was preparing to hunt the tiger, Wu Nakan was almost bitten by a big claw...
It seems that things started when he met the fourth-grade leaf stick.
Blessings come, disasters lie ahead!
Lu Lu even wondered if he didn't follow the rules when lifting the mallet...
Fortunately, everything finally turned out to be safe.
Well... I have a day off tomorrow, and I will lead Zhao Tuanqing and the others to deal with the settlement matter. The day after tomorrow, I should go get the forest musk deer back. I don't know if it is still there!
Chen Xiuyu couldn't help but tremble in her heart when she heard Lu Lu said that he had slapped the big paw.
What are the big claws?
It is the most ferocious existence in the mountains. How many people have hit it with its big claws and never come back.
Every time a big claw comes out to hurt someone, a lot of people are dispatched when hunting.
She quickly pulled Lu Lu around and looked at it.
Even if Lu Lu told Chen Xiuyu that she was not injured at all, she didn't believe it. She just turned around and checked without saying a word. After confirming that Lu Lu was indeed fine, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Lu smiled and held Chen Xiuyu in his arms, kissed her gently on the forehead, then hugged her tightly and reached out to pat her back.
"It happened this time too, and it was just when Big Paw was taking a nap. It's not as dangerous as you think. I promised you that I won't do anything I'm not sure about, so don't worry!"
Chen Xiuyu leaned against Lu Lu's arms and whispered, "Anyway, just be more careful in the future."
Gradually, Chen Xiuyu's face turned red and her lower abdomen quickly broke away from Lu Lu's arms.
Lu Lu also felt it.
A young body is always so impulsive, even if he is just smelling the fragrance of the girl in his arms.
The slightest inducement would be dishonest!
Chen Xiuyu glared at Lu Lu, then climbed onto the kang on her knees, opened the kangqin, and rummaged through the quilt.
"Three acres of land, one cow, wife and children on the hot kang" refers to the hot kang in the Northeast.
The thing that the older generation of Northeasterners in later generations miss the most is not the fire kang, but the old object on the kang - kangqin.
Kangqin, although it has the word qin, has nothing to do with qin. It is actually a cabinet with very rural characteristics. It is an upgraded version of the kang cabinet. It is usually placed at the top of the kang, and the head of the kang is the place to sleep.
The larger kangqin is divided into two layers. The upper layer is used to store bedding, and the lower layer is used to store clothes. There are also drawers to store some odds and ends, such as needles, threads, brains, etc.
The kangqin in Lu Lu's master bedroom is a hot-flowered glass cabinet that was specially selected from the best in the area. The workmanship is very fine.
The wood of the cabinet is carved with patterns of mandarin ducks playing in the water, magpies climbing branches, auspicious and wealthy peonies, and pines and cranes prolonging life. On the glass are ink paintings of plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums. They are so beautiful that no carpenter without real materials would be able to make them.
At this level, the wood used is good wood like walnut catalpa.
This is furniture that makes any married girl feel more dignified.
Most rural women always like to hide money in each other's bedding and luggage, and Chen Xiuyu is no exception.
After Chen Xiuyu fumbled around in the kangqin for a while, she took out a square iron box containing biscuits from the pile of bedding. She sat down on the kang mat, holding the iron box in her left hand and struggling to open the lid with the nails of her right hand.
Lu Lu glanced at the box and saw that there were a lot of grain and oil coupons and a stack of unity, as well as some dime bills, divided into cents.
Chen Xiuyu counted the money Lu Lu handed her. After thinking for a while, she took out one hundred yuan and handed it to Lu Lu.
"What are you doing?" Lu Lu asked with a smile: "This money is for your safekeeping. I will tell you when I need to use it."
Lu Lu gave the money to Chen Xiuyu mainly to make her feel more at ease. This was a material guarantee.
"You are a man and you often go out. You should always have money on you."
Chen Xiuyu leaned over and put the one hundred yuan in Lu Lu's pocket: "If you need it urgently, you can always take it out."
This...is quite thoughtful!
Lu Lu smiled at her and said nothing more.
Regarding the control of money, Lu Lu hoped that there would be a discussion when using it, instead of just tightening the pocket tightly and only getting in but not getting out.
Chen Xiuyu has done a good job in this aspect.
Seeing her sticking out her butt again and hiding the iron box inside the kangqin, Lu Lu reached out and slapped her on the butt.
Chen Xiuyu turned back and glared at him, blushing and said: "There are so many people outside here, can't we wait until dark?"
Lu Lu suddenly laughed.
Suppressing the restlessness in her heart, the two of them left the house together. Chen Xiuyu continued to dry the mushrooms that Wang Yan and Pu Guiying had washed. Some of the dried mushrooms were sent to the underground cellar by Chen Xiuyu and lit with firewood to dry them.
The small cellar has become a baking room.
Lu Luze called Chen Xiuqing, found a sack to spread on the floor, and found some pieces of cotton cloth from the house, and instructed Chen Xiuqing to disassemble the semi-automatic for wiping, maintenance and calibration.
As a gun user, you must have a sufficient understanding of your weapons.
Chen Xiuqing finally restrained his thoughts and focused all his attention on Wang Yan's brand new Type 56 semi-automatic rifle. After wiping it clean, he began to learn to assemble it and became familiar with it.
As evening approached, Zhou Cuifen came back from the district and, as usual, came in to report to Chen Xiuyu about today's mushroom sales.
Several people received another one dollar and thirty cents each, and they all seemed very happy.
Even the old men who were building warehouses couldn't help but look over from time to time.
The money can be made quickly in one day, and if there is no delay, in a month, the little money will add up to a lot, and it will almost catch up with the workers' wages, which they cannot ignore.
After making an appointment to go into the mountains tomorrow, Pu Guiying, who had washed the mushrooms and was fine for the time being, returned to Xiushan Tun with Zhou Cuifen.
Wang Yan waited for her father Wang Dalong to get off work before leaving with her.
It was natural for Chen Xiuqing to stay and wait for dinner. This guy could count on a meal.
He said that he liked to eat the food cooked by Chen Xiuyu, but when Lu Lu saw the way he patted his butt and left after eating, he felt that this guy was just doing it to save trouble.
During the meal, Chen Xiuqing and Chen Xiuyu kept talking, talking about lifting the mallet and hitting the big paws, especially when they were talking about hitting the big paws. He obviously didn't see anything behind him, but he was talking about it.
It's as vivid as if you've seen it with your own eyes.
Fortunately, he was smart and didn't tell anything about his dealings with those three people, which made Lu Lu worried for a while.
After eating, Chen Xiuyu boiled hot water for Lu Lu to take a bath, helped Lu Lu wipe his back, and found clean clothes for Lu Lu to change into.
After Lu Lu finished taking a bath and got on the kang, Chen Xiuyu packed up her things and went to the master bedroom after washing. She found that Lu Lu was already soundly asleep.
After spending the night in the mountains for several days in a row, it was impossible to sleep well in such a place. Lu Lv fell asleep on the kang and fell asleep in a matter of minutes.
Chen Xiuyu climbed onto the kang, looked in front of Lu Lu for a while, put out the kerosene lamp that Lu Lu had kept burning all night after leaving for the past few days, got behind Lu Lu, and gently hugged Lu Lu and fell asleep until late at night.
, was woken up by Lu Lu when he turned over, she hesitated slightly, turned over and rode up...
A breakup is better than a wedding, not only Lu Lu thought, but she also thought about it.
This is addictive!
