MTL - It’s Hard For a Good Wife and Mother-Chapter 42 Finally build a house (1)
Mo Dai raised her eyes to look at the man. She was wearing a blue shirt that had been washed white. She was slender and slender, half a head taller than herself. She had handsome eyebrows and a gentle temperament. The whole person adds a lively and playful feeling.
Mo Dai recognizes that people are a little different from ordinary people, she first listens to voices, looks are not important to her. Although the man's appearance was unfamiliar to Modai, she recognized his voice and knew that he was the man in the blue shirt who sold her wild honey and condensed goat's milk that day.
When Xiao Xiao saw his younger brother Xiao Sheng looking at Mo Dai in surprise, as if he had known him for a long time, the little flame of restlessness in his heart ignited.
"Huh? You, you guys know each other? Ha, when did you know each other? Why didn't you guys tell me? Oh, Xiao Sheng is a man who tends to be shy. I can understand if he doesn't tell me, but you, Mo Daxi," Xiao Xiao said Then he bumped Mo Dai's arm with his elbow, his eyes were so gossip and evil, "Why do you keep your mouth shut? It's not kind, it's not kind!"
"Sister, what nonsense are you talking about! I, I and this girl are not considered acquaintances, but..." The man in the blue shirt was a little embarrassed as he spoke. If he had known that the girl was on good terms with his sister, he would never Will charge for that wild honey and condensed milk.
Mo Dai really couldn't bear Xiao Xiao's face eager to show some "bad relationship", so she just clasped her fists at Xiao Sheng and said, "Mr. Xiao is well, the little girl Mo Daxi is Xiao Xiao's friend, and it's her first visit , how abrupt, please forgive me!"
"Mo, Miss Mo is well, hurry up, please come in!" After Xiao Sheng finished speaking, he didn't dare to look at Mo Dai again, and hurriedly turned his face aside.
Xiao Xiao showed a bored expression, and after being glared at by Xiao Sheng, he touched his nose embarrassingly and led Mo Dai into the yard.
The yard of Xiao Xiao's house is not very big, the east house and the vegetable garden have taken up more than half of the small yard, and there is only a three-foot-wide green brick road paved in the middle for people to walk on. Mo Dai took a look at the vegetable garden. Onions, garlic, peppers, and small greens were all neatly divided into areas, and they had already grown green. It seemed that the owner of the vegetable garden took good care of them. Two barns were built near the gate of the vegetable garden, a ram and two lambs were raised in one, and a hen house was in the other, with four roosters and one hen roaming around.
Xiao Xiao led Modai through the green brick road and into the main room. There are three main rooms, and there are two amps separated from the east and west, and the middle is used as the main hall.
Not long after Mo Dai sat down with Xiao Xiao, Xiao Sheng brought three bowls of milk tea and some small sweet shortbread. After putting down the milk tea and snacks, Xiao Sheng took the tray and went to the east kitchen and never came out again. Modai thought, this third bowl is probably prepared for that craftsman.
"Xiao Xiao, what is the name of that craftsman?" Mo Dai didn't pick up the milk tea, but sat and waited like Xiao Xiao.
"His name is...cough cough..." For some reason, Xiao Xiao suddenly choked on his own saliva, don't start coughing for a while before recovering, his cheeks were already flushed from coughing, "he Call…"
With a sound of "bang", the unlatched door was kicked open from the outside, a gust of wind blew, and a strong smell of alcohol floated into the yard, followed by a male voice who was obviously drunk "Ah Sheng, what delicious food did you cook today? I smelled delicious, so here I come!" While speaking, a man in black robe walked in the door.
Sitting on the right seat in the main hall of the main room, Mo Dai happened to be facing out, and saw the man who kicked in the door at a glance. This man is tall, about 1.9 meters tall by visual inspection, with broad shoulders and narrow waist. The black robe is loosely covered on his body. The protruding collarbone at the neck can be clearly seen. His facial features are stern and profound, and his eyes are deeper than ordinary people. Although it was a little hazy due to the fumigation of alcohol at this time, under that layer of haze, Mo Dai caught a sharp and aggressive light like a falcon, her lips were very thin, perhaps because of being burned by the wine, the color of her lips was also transparent It is a coquettish red that does not match its deep facial features.
Looking at his body shape, this man is different from most of the men Modai has seen in this world. No matter how tall a man is in this world, his overall frame is slender and thin, exuding a restrained and graceful demeanor. However, this man did not have such a bearing at all, rather he was somewhat similar to a modern handsome man, exuding a wild and unrestrained aura all over his body.
When Mo Dai looked over, the black-robed man also caught Mo Dai's existence. I don't know if it was Mo Dai's illusion, but I always felt that the slight smile on the corner of his mouth was a bit treacherous.
"Brother Shi Mo, why are you drinking like this again?" Xiao Sheng came out from the east room, grabbed the man in black robe who was about to fall into the vegetable garden, and quickly pulled the collar of his robe to cover him. Holding those two collarbones that can be called sexy, she whispered a little reproachfully, "My sister has friends coming, take it easy! Don't scare them!" Looking towards the main hall of the main room, his cheeks were slightly flushed.
Suddenly, Xiao Sheng's chin was pinched by the black-robed man with two fingers, and the smell of alcohol spewed out while speaking: "Why, is your sister looking for you?" The black-robed man smiled wickedly. The tone also reveals a frivolous meaning.
Xiao Sheng tore off the man's hand, really got a little angry, and shouted in a low voice: "Brother Shi Mo, be more serious, like you, which woman dares to marry you?"
The man chuckled, and while squinting at Mo Dai in the main hall, he murmured a sentence like singing: "What is mine is mine after all, and it cannot be obtained if it is not mine..."
"What are you talking about? Hurry up to the main hall, my sister seems to have something to do with you!" Xiao Sheng said, seeing that the man was still leaning on him, so he pushed him, "There are red beans I made in the main hall Shortbread filled with fillings, milk tea has been poured for you!"
"Yes, yes, I'm going right away, but I'm going to talk about it first, it's not for your sister, I'm for the red bean shortbread you made, Asheng!" His figure and posture were so out of line, and all the way he was walking, his gaze was fixed on Modai all the way.
Mo Dai felt uncomfortable being stared at by him, and instinctively looked away from Xiao Xiao on the right hand, but was surprised to find that she was also staring at the man at this time, and the obsession in her eyes was not the slightest bit. Mo Dai couldn't help raising her eyebrows, could it be that Xiao Xiao likes this man?
"Xiao Xiao, who is this?" Mo Dai asked in a low voice.
"..." Xiao Xiaozheng was fascinated.
"Xiao Xiao?" Mo Dai stretched out her hand and tugged at her sleeve.
"Ah? Oh, he is the craftsman I told you about. His name is Shi Mo. He is 23 years old this year. He is single. He likes to drink and eat food on weekdays. He likes the milk tea and various snacks made by my brother the most..." Xiao Xiao Once she opened her mouth, she couldn't hold back until the man named Shi Mo had entered the main hall, she was still talking blah blah blah, Mo Mo had obviously shown a dangerous smile, but the girl's gaze was still fixed on him.
"Ahem!" Mo Dai deliberately cleared her throat to remind Xiao Xiao, and then she stopped in embarrassment, and smiled foolishly at Shi Mo.
"Mo Mo, you're here!" Xiao Xiao's voice was clearly excited, even though she was already trying to control her emotions.
Mo Mo glanced at Xiao Xiao, but ignored it, and looked directly at Mo Dai with a smile: "Dare to ask this girl's name?" The tone and demeanor of his speech were extremely inconsistent with his overall appearance, and he obviously had a long face. He has a cool male face, but he is like a ruffian talking frivolously, which makes Mo Dai feel very uncomfortable.
"Little girl Mo Daxi, I've heard Mr. Shi's name for a long time. It's a pleasure to meet you!" Mo Dai stood up and saluted Mo Mo, but she didn't want Mo Mo to follow her one step forward and look down at her like a mountain. The shadow is burning, like a wild beast watching its prey in the dark, exuding a wild and dangerous aura, seeing that Mo Dai is extremely uncomfortable, and instinctively wants to take a step back, but on the surface, he remains calm and stares straight at Shi Shi , There was even a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Shi Mo was a little surprised by Modai's reaction, she wasn't afraid of him? As a man, his stature is a bit tall, and his figure is also bigger than ordinary men. In addition, he is so rough and ugly. Generally, few women are not frightened by him. Of course, Xiao Xiao is an exception, but he Never thought of her as a woman.
Shi Mo couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips. This girl is a bit interesting. He especially likes her eyes, which are black and white. The pupils are bigger and darker than ordinary adults. This is the first time he has seen someone's eyes that are clean at first glance. It is pure and clear, but when you look deeper, it is deep and bottomless.
Mo Dai and Shi Mo looked at each other for a while, and suddenly felt that it was so childish to cross eyes with a drunk, so when she looked at Shi Mo's face again, she wanted to laugh, but she was afraid that she would hurt his self-esteem by laughing too abruptly, so she Turning to look at Xiao Xiao, he said: "Xiao Xiao, if Mr. Shi agrees to help me build a new house, I think I will follow him to the brick kiln factory today to see the market of green bricks and black tiles, and by the way, I will also go to the mason to ask about the polishing stones. The price, and, Mr. Shi has a group of helpers, do you have land at home? Can you spare time during the busy farming season?"
Suddenly, Mo Dai felt her chin being pinched and pulled with two fingers, and then she looked at Shi Mo again.
"Miss Mo, don't you think it would be faster to talk to Mr. Shi himself than to talk to that idiot Xiao Xiao?" Shi Mo said with a half-smile, but actually he was a little angry in his heart, Mo Daxi, don't He thought he didn't notice the expression on her face that suddenly wanted to laugh but couldn't bear it!
At this time, Shi Mo's face was quite close to Mo Dai's, so when he opened his mouth to speak, he sprayed the smell of alcohol on Mo Dai's face, and Mo Dai's eyelids twitched, and then broke away without a trace Shi Mo's fingers moved towards Xiao Xiao's side without any trace, and replied with a smile: "Mr. Shi's words are justified. Daxi would like to thank Mr. Shi for agreeing to build a new house for my family! Mr. Shi, is he free? Why don't we go to the brick kiln factory now?"
"Ah, that's not in a hurry..." Mo Mo said, and suddenly felt that he had been put on by Modai. When did he agree to help her build a new house? So the old **** Mo Mo, who had reacted, sat down on the table, reached out and pinched a piece of red bean shortbread, put it in his mouth and chewed, while chewing, he said, "Miss Mo must have heard Xiao Xiao's nonsense, in fact, I I don’t help people build houses, and I don’t have helpers, I’m just a useless person who spends all day drinking and eating at home!”
Hearing this, Mo Dai breathed a sigh of relief, if Mo Mo would brag to her how capable she is, she wouldn't believe it, hearing what he said now, obviously there was a hint of anger in it, but Mo Mo Dai felt that Xiao Xiao might not have lied to her.
And from the beginning to the end, Xiao Xiao's gaze was fixed on Mo Dai, and he couldn't see or hear anything else. Even though Shi Mo was obviously indifferent to her, he also clearly showed that he was more interested in Modai, and she But there is only graphite in his eyes.
Seeing Xiao Xiao with an infatuated and silly expression in front of her, and Shi Mo, a weird man who ate red bean shortbread one by one, and didn't even bother to give Xiao Xiao a look, Mo Dai couldn't help but feel a little bit emotional, why did she choose this silly girl? How can a man who doesn't like himself like him?
Xiao Xiao did not exaggerate, her younger brother Xiao Sheng is indeed a capable and outstanding man, the milk tea he brews tastes better than Modai's, and the red bean shortcakes he made by himself are also crispy and soft, sweet and tender Not greasy, not worse than the dim sum at Sui Ji Dim Sum Shop, even better.
Mo Dai and Xiao Xiao each ate one piece, and the rest went into Shi Mo's belly. Mo Dai, who was still unsatisfied, couldn't help but glanced at Mo Shi's still flat stomach, and thought to himself, a big plate of shortbread, plus three bowls of milk tea, this man Where did it go?
Shi Mo, who caught Mo Dai's eyes, frivolously frivolously flicked his bangs on his forehead, raised his eyebrows by the way, and raised a wicked smile at the corner of his mouth: "Why, Miss Mo has taken a fancy to me, my son? Or me? body? That’s right, if you want to make a woman feel full, you have to have a body like mine..."
"Brother Shi Mo!" Xiao Sheng, who was coming in with another snack, suddenly heard Shi Mo talking nonsense again, and hurriedly interrupted, staring at Mo Mo with eyes full of embarrassment.
"Cough, A Sheng, why are you talking so loudly, Miss Mo will be frightened by you!" Shi Mo started to criticize Xiao Sheng as if nothing happened, Xiao Sheng was ashamed and angry, dropped the snack plate, turned around and left.
And the instigator, Shi Mo, picked up the golden fruit stick on the plate and ate it happily, and said to Mo Dai kindly while eating: "Miss Mo, don't be scared by A Sheng." Oh, Ah Sheng is not like this on weekdays, he is actually shy whenever he sees a woman..."
Mo Dai smiled and said nothing, but added in her heart, don't explain, no one misunderstands Xiao Sheng, outsiders will only be frightened by you Shi Mo, okay?
Shi Mo's words just now are really bold enough, they are not something that ordinary men in the world of empresses can say, unless it is those men in the official matching arena who are crazy about women and eager to marry. However, the men there were all tattooed with small fingernail-sized plum petal patterns on their foreheads. Plum blossoms bloom only in winter. At that time, all the flowers had withered, and they were the remaining flowers, which means that all the men in the official match are The remaining men.
Shi Mo is obviously not a man who came out of the official supporting field, so is it possible that she is a time-traveling person like her?
"Mr. Shi, have you seen this kind of thing?" Mo Dai took out some rolled rice paper from her sleeve and unfolded it in front of Shi Mo.
In addition to the diagrams of iron boxes, iron barrels and valves that Mo Dai gave to blacksmith Wang Laoyuan this morning, she actually drew the house plan earlier, ranging from the large layout to the small furnishings in the kitchen. .
Shi Mo followed Modai's fingers to look at the bathtub diagram in the bathroom structure diagram at the back of the main room, and couldn't take his eyes off for an instant, and the expression on his face was clearly as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
Mo Dai's heart skipped a beat, could it be that Shi Mo really came from modern times?
"Mo Daxi!" Shi Mo slammed the table and stood up, his figure was like a mountain, and he called "Miss Mo" unceremoniously, and called her by her first name. These clearly indicated that what he was about to say would be bad yes-
"You came here too?" Modai asked preemptively.
"Ah?..." Shi Mo was taken aback by Mo Dai's question, and the excitement on his face subsided a little, "What's it coming from? I don't understand what you're talking about!" Then he slapped Mo Dai on the shoulder, Mo Dai Dai's body fell short, and she twitched the corners of her mouth in pain. However, Shi Mo didn't care whether she was in pain or not, and her excitement rose again, "Mo Daxi, you are saving this for bathing, right?"
Maude nodded.
Shi Mo pointed to the illustration of the flushing pit in the hut: "Is this for peeing and shitting?"
With black lines all over her hair, Mo Dai silently turned her face away, secretly said, although there is nothing wrong with her words, please use a slightly more elegant wording, okay?
Shi Mo pointed to the sewer leading to the cesspit again, and shouted: "This underground secret passage for excrement and urine is really wonderful!"
Modai is already numb, so if you say it's a secret, it's okay!
"Oh? The idea of this stove is also quite ingenious, tsk, this is something that can flow hot water! And this square tin box is used for making snacks! This is made of stone The sink is made of bricks, and here is a four-layer shelf made of stones, these are not uncommon..." Shi Mo talked to himself while looking at the drawings, and then sat in a daze.
Taking advantage of Shi Mo's silence, Mo Dai tugged at the sleeve of Xiao Xiao who was still staring at Shi Mo with a nympho, and whispered: "Xiao Xiao, is there any helper under Mr. Shi's hands?"
"Yes, there are dozens of them. There are men and women. They usually do it by themselves. They only come to Shi Mo when they encounter difficulties. Mrs. Wu's family recruited a wife for their son the year before last, and specially circled some near Wu Zhai. They just built a new house, they hired the helpers under Shi Mo’s hands. Moreover, Mrs. Wu didn’t trust them at first, they were picky and picky. As soon as Mo Mo came out, Mrs. Wu immediately stopped talking..."
"Mo Daxi!" Shi Mo suddenly uttered a voice, and his handsome eyebrows frowned into Sichuan characters, "Didn't I tell you to ask me directly if you have something? What's the use of asking Xiao Xiao, that stupid girl?"
Hearing this, Xiao Xiaohaha smirked and nodded: "That's right, Daxi, you can ask Shi Mo directly!"
Mo Dai was a little displeased, and instinctively retorted: "Xiao Xiao is not stupid!"
"Hmph!" Shi Mo sneered, and glanced at Xiao Xiao with disdain, "Isn't a woman who can do nothing but giggle stupid? Especially when she giggles at an ugly **** like me, it's simply stupid." Thorough!"
Originally, after hearing the first sentence, Mo Dai was so angry that she wanted to talk to Shi Mo, but when she heard the second sentence, she couldn't get angry at all. Besides, Xiao Xiao herself was not angry, and she, a bystander, was even less angry. Reason to be angry. But Shi Mo said that he is an ugly useless person, she can understand being ugly, he is disliking himself for being handsome, but where does the useless person start? Of course, this is not something she should understand, and naturally she won't get to the bottom of it.
The atmosphere was a little stagnant at this moment, but in the next second, Shi Mo continued to pick up snacks and stuff them into his mouth as if nothing had happened, making people terrified.
After a while, Mo Mo stopped eating snacks, and turned to ask Mo Dai with a smile: "Mo Daxi, I can help you build a new house, and it can be built as you imagined, but you have to agree to one condition."
"Master Shi, please tell me." Mo Dai always felt that Mo Mo's smile was very strange.
"Reserve a house in your new home for me to live in. In this way, I will help you build a new house, and the wages will be considered cheap for you. Ordinary house builders need 30 yuan a day plus lunch, The daily wages of the helpers in my hands are 40 yuan plus a lunch, I asked them to only charge you 30 yuan, and you don’t need to pay for lunch, how about it?”
Mo Dai waited for a long time after finishing speaking, but Mo Dai didn't speak, so he asked again: "How is it?"
Mo Dai looked up at Shi Shi, and said lightly, "Will you pay the rent?"
At noon, Mo Dai had lunch at Xiao Xiao's house, and he had to admit that Xiao Sheng was an outstanding man again. The rough brown rice made by him was better than the one in Fumantang. It was fried with red pepper and vinegar The Chinese cabbage is hot and sour, the scrambled eggs with chopped green onion are fragrant and delicious, and there is also a small plate of pickled radish, which is sour and salty, which is very good for rice.
While picking vegetables into Mo Dai's bowl, Xiao Xiao praised: "Daxi, I'm not wrong, my brother's craftsmanship is not inferior to yours!"
"Sister, why are you talking about it again!" Xiao Sheng couldn't stand her sister praising herself at every turn, not to mention that she was still in front of Mo Daxi, as if deliberately matching him with Mo Daxi. Is my sister confused? Hasn't Mo Daxi already Are you married and have kids? How could he get involved again?
When Mo Dai was eating, Xiao Xiao suddenly picked up a big lump of vegetables and put them in her bowl, she was so surprised that she almost spit out from choking.
"Xiao Xiao, Mo Daxi has hands, so you don't need to pick it up!" Mo Shi suddenly put the big lump of vegetables that Xiao Xiao gave to Mo Dai into his own bowl, Xiao Xiao was stunned, and suddenly seemed to remember something, He blushed strangely, and then gave Mo Shi another chopsticks of vegetables, but this time Shi Mo just put the bowl away and shouted impolitely, "I have my own hands, you don't mind the trouble, but I still think your saliva is dirty Woolen cloth!"
Xiao Xiao had no choice but to put it into his own bowl with grievances, and muttered in a low voice: "Didn't I also eat it just now..."
"It was just now, but now I don't want to eat it!" Shi Shi gave Xiao Xiao a displeased look, and Xiao Xiao could only accept it helplessly.
Mo Dai looked at Shi Mo in surprise, could he see that she has a cleanliness? So sharp!
After eating, Shi Mo took Mo Dai and Xiao Xiao to Qingshi Village not far from Liugang Town, where there was a brick kiln for firing green bricks and black tiles. Shi Mo is very familiar with the people in the brick kiln. With a professional eye, he quickly selected a batch of green bricks and black tiles, ordered the quantity, and then Mo Dai paid the money. Mo Dai thought she could build a house with more than 30 taels of silver, but she didn't expect that the blue bricks and black tiles alone cost her 30 taels of silver. Guys come to steal her money? Anyway, these blue bricks and black tiles are too expensive.
Naturally Shi Mo didn't know what Modai was thinking, after picking out the blue bricks and black tiles, he took Modai to pick out the wood for the beams, which cost Modai three taels of silver, and when they came to the place where the polished stones were sold, Modai's There are only a few hundred coins left in the purse.
Shi Mo spends a lot of money when buying things. She chooses the grinding stone, negotiates the price, and asks Mo Dai to pay for it. According to the envisioned picture, the entire front yard and all the rooms are to be paved with grinding stones, and if calculated in this way, it will not be possible without fifty taels of silver.
Mo Dai clutched her withered purse, and suddenly remembered a sentence from her previous life's grandmother sadly: "People don't die easily, unless they seek their own death!"
Mo Dai took a deep breath, stepped forward and said to the stonemason lady: "I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry to go out today, I didn't bring enough money, can I come back tomorrow to pay?"
"Chengchengcheng, of course! This price is cheaper for you. According to the amount that the girl wants, the girl will give me forty-eight taels of silver. You can give me stones whenever you want!" The stonemason has not seen him for many years. Seeing that someone bought such a large amount of grinding stones in such a large amount, I was so happy that I was crazy. I thought that this year will finally be a good year with the blessing of the heavens.
On the way back, Shi Mo squinted at Mo Dai: "Mo Daxi, did you not bring enough money, or did you not have enough money at all?"
Mo Dai was silent for a while, and then choked out a sentence: "The money is not enough."
Xiao Xiao originally wanted to help a group of Modai, but when he thought that he only had a few hundred Wen in his pocket, it would be useless if he asked Xiao Sheng for it. So I could only keep silent.
Shi Mo was also silent for a while, but couldn't bear it any longer, and growled, "You don't have enough money, so you dare to spend so much money to build it like that?"
Modai didn't speak, of course she knew that she was looking for death this time, but if she was asked to cut down the cost and build an ordinary house, she would absolutely not accept it, so now go back to Fumantang to find the advance money from the shopkeeper.
"I have it there, do you want it?" Shi Mo seemed to say it after a strong inner struggle, and immediately changed his words as soon as he said it, "Ha, forget it, pretend I didn't say it, anyway, you women don't care too much. Spend the money of an ugly man like me..."
"How many do you have?" Maud asked.
Shi Mo twitched the corner of his mouth: "...how much do you want?"
When Modai heard this, local tyrant, this man!
In the end, Mo Dai borrowed a hundred taels of silver from Shi Shi, and then turned around and ordered the grinding stone. Now the materials for building the house are almost ready, the only thing left is land preparation and digging.
Shi Mo's movements were also quite fast, and he gathered the group of helpers in his hands that day, a total of thirty people, many men and women, all carrying various tools, followed behind Mo Dai Walk towards Mojia Village.
So many helpers came to Mo Daxi's house at once, and they were from the town. The villagers were shocked, and many people went out of their homes and stood at the intersection to look at Mo Daxi's house, talking about what happened to Mo Daxi's house.
The thirty people were going to set up camp on the spot during the construction of the house. They not only brought tents and other things with them, but also food, pots and pans. In the past, the hosts who hired them to work usually only had one lunch, and they had to arrange for breakfast and dinner by themselves, but this time it was said that the host did not even provide lunch, and their boss Shi Mo agreed, so they could only solve it by themselves. eat.
However, Mo Dai felt a little sorry, although Shi Mo said that she could ignore the food, but she was afraid that if she didn't let those people eat enough, they would not work hard for her. Fortunately, she borrowed 100 taels of silver from Shi Mo, and after buying the grinding stone, she still has 52 taels of silver left over. Shi Mo estimates that the house can be built in about one and a half months, so minus their wages, 36 taels of silver are left, and 16 taels of silver are left. Two silvers, this money is enough for odd expenses on weekdays.
Mo Dai went to the town and bought 300 catties of white rice and noodles each, dozens of Chinese cabbages, two baskets of radishes, and 100 catties of pork, oil, salt and other necessities, and then asked the rice store to The proprietress sent a carriage to drive home.
The helper in Shi Mo's hands moved very quickly, and the ground was finished in just one day. All the dilapidated houses and courtyard walls were torn down, and all the bushes and weeds on the wasteland were set on fire for a while, and all those that could not be burned were eradicated with sickles and shovels. After the sundries were cleared away, some helpers went to the foot of Mount Yunmu to transport the soil, while the other part filled the land with the transported soil, and then used stone rollers to roll back and forth to compact it.
Seeing that the messy place changed drastically in just one day, Mo Dai knew that these helpers were working hard, so she compared her heart to them, and she could not treat them badly. In the first half of the day, she still went to Fumantang to continue writing her storybook, and in the second half of the day, she rushed home to cook for the helpers. Mo Wuyun and Mo Wufeng were responsible for serving tea and water and doing some odd jobs. Xu Shaolin and the pregnant Mo Wuqing took special care of the children so that they would not run off to play on the construction site out of curiosity, and no one would be able to compensate them if something went wrong.
The kitchen of Mo Daxi's family was demolished, and now Mo Dai can only borrow the kitchen of Mo Guihua's family, and simply ignores Mo Guihua's objection, and provides meals for their family. Mo Guihua felt very sorry, so she took the three husbands and followed the group of helpers under Mo Shi's hands. Mo Guihua is also a capable person, she got started in a short time, and was appreciated by Mo Shi, and wanted to win her into his construction team, Mo Guihua naturally agreed with great joy.
On the second day after the land was finished, the ox convoy responsible for delivering the green bricks drove into Mojia Village mightily. This scale is too large, and Mojia Village has rarely seen it once in decades, so the whole village, young and old, came to watch, smacking their tongues and sighing secretly. Naturally, some people are envious and others are jealous.
When Mo Achun saw it, he was full of evil spirits, and yelled back at his own adults and children, warning them not to communicate with the members of Mo Daxi's family.
Mo Alan squinted at the cattle caravan pulling the blue bricks, and his heart burst into flames, Mo Daxi, you are capable, not only asked the meat back, but also asked the old lady to post dozens of pennies, and now it is like this in the village Show off generously, hmph, I'm not afraid of capsizing in the gutter and dying without a whole body!
The head of the clan, Mo Jinhua, was also shocked by the cattle caravan pulling the blue bricks, and thought to himself, the transformed Mo Daxi really has some skills, and actually started construction. It's just so much labor and so many blue bricks, how much money will she have to spend?
For this reason, Mo Jinhua asked Mo Dai to ask questions in private, and Mo Dai said with a face of shame that she borrowed it from the shopkeeper of Fumantang. Mo Jinhua asked with a stern face at the time: "Borrowed from the shopkeeper of Fumantang? How can you have such a big face as a small worker, and borrow so much at a time?"
Mo Dai bluntly said that she can speak a little in Fumantang, which was appreciated by the shopkeeper. Mo Jinhua looked Mo Dai back and forth over and over again, staring at Mo Dai until she slapped her on the shoulder suddenly: "Hahahaha, good girl, I really didn't expect you to be so kind!" What a skill! Good storytellers, those who can tell stories are all capable people!" As he spoke, he turned his mind, "Then next time someone has a wedding or a wedding, your girl will go and talk with your aunt, don't worry, the money will not come You will be missing!"
Mo Dai was taken aback, and thought to herself, Mo Jinhua is also an old fox! Asking her to tell stories at other people's weddings and weddings, God, let's not talk about how loud it is, but if I say it, can the salary be as high as that in Fumantang? The answer is obvious.
"Auntie, look at my voice, it's still a little hoarse. I'm not suitable for storytelling, so I won't talk about it now. If my aunt's brothers and sisters are married, I can go and tell my aunt for free. , As for other people's weddings and weddings, I won't try my best!" Mo Dai smiled sincerely.
Mo Jinhua looked at her for a long time, although Mo Daxi's refusal made her feel a little uncomfortable, but the girl also has her own things to do, not to mention she promised to speak for her sons' happy event for free! Thinking of this, Mo Jinhua felt relieved, patted Mo Dai's shoulder again, and said earnestly: "Forget it, now I know you are capable, so don't mess around again in the future!"
"Hey, Daxi must remember your words!"
Mo Jinhua glanced at the construction site in full swing again: "You girl is really bold, you borrowed money to build a house, and it was so big! Alas, the days to come are still long, you have to take it easy. Hurry up!" Then he glanced at Modai again, this glance was very meaningful.
"Hey, Daxi understands, don't worry!"
Mo Dai's heart was a little turbulent, the first thing she thought of was that the tree would attract the wind, she might be jealous of the villagers in the future, and thieves might also stare at her house. Well, it's decided. After the house is built, we must raise a few more guard dogs. By the way, there must be some sharp things on the courtyard wall to prevent thieves. She will go talk to Shi Mo about it.
In the afternoon of this day, Shi Mo watched Mo Dai busy up and down in the stove, and couldn't help but sneered: "Women work hard like Mo Guihua, who would nest in the stove and eat like you?" What? I am really ashamed of you!"
Mo Dai raised her eyebrows, and stuffed a radish ball into Shi Mo's mouth. Although she didn't say anything, the meaning was very obvious—"You can't stop your stinky mouth if you eat it."
Shi Shi frowned displeased, and was about to get angry, but suddenly felt that the radish **** tasted very good, the skin was crispy and fragrant, and the inside was soft and tender, and the more you chewed, the more delicious it became. Shi Mo closed his eyes and lay on the recliner in the yard of Mo Guihua's house, enjoying it like a grandpa. After eating a radish ball, he shouted at Mo Dai in the kitchen: "One more!"
Mo Dai couldn't help shaking the hand holding the wooden spoon, and ignored him. I have never seen a foreman as arrogant as him. When he came here, he not only carried his recliner back, except for inspecting the progress of the helpers twice a day, the rest of the time was lying on the recliner and closing his eyes. Death, when the meal is ready, his spirit is higher than anyone else.
Seeing that Mo Dai deliberately ignored him, Mo Mo felt displeased, so he said coolly, "You ungrateful woman!"
Modai still didn't pay any attention to her, and she always insisted that the villain is like a charcoal fire that is about to go out, if you move it, it will stay on, and it will go out naturally when it is left to dry. And Maru Niu, who was nestled in the wicker basket in the kitchen, was not calm anymore, he hummed and complained to Modai: This ugly big man actually imitated Lao Tzu's words, don't you have to take care of it?
Mo Dai lightly glanced at the resentful Maru Niu: I advise you to be honest and low-key in the past month or so, haven't you seen the look in Mo Mo's eyes when he first saw you?
Maruki suddenly recalled the fiery gaze that Shimo cast on him when he first saw him playing with the two little ones that day. It was clearly looking at the delicious food, so the little pink body trembled involuntarily, and quickly moved I tucked into the straw of the wicker basket and hid, humming: I think this ugly man is very dangerous, let him go when the house is built!
Modai looked at Maruki's trembling little body from time to time, a little funny: he plans to live in a room in our house.
Maru Niu almost burst into tears on the spot: No, no, absolutely no!
Mode: He will pay the rent.
Maruki: That doesn't work either!
Mode: This is the condition for him to build a house for our family.
Maruki raised his head and stared at a pair of big eyes filled with tears: "Sure enough, treacherous!" I hate this ugly man!
After the foundation of the house was laid, the helpers laid bricks and walls at a very fast speed. After ten days or so, all the houses had reached the stage of erecting beams. Of course, Modai also tried to let them eat better, every meal has meat, although most of them are fried with Chinese cabbage or radish, but the taste is better than what they used to eat. And every few days, you can also eat fat but not greasy sauce-colored braised pork with white rice, or fragrant and crispy radish **** with minced meat porridge, and egg drop soup with a layer of oil flowers, which is hot and sour and delicious. The pancakes are full of strength, the taste is not to mention how delicious
