Good Farming in Spring - C52
Seeing that Mother Spring was a little touched, Dou Wang quickly left the house and hid in the yard. Mingzi and Bean finished their porridge and went out to the yard to move their things. When they saw Dou Wang standing next to the car without taking anything out, they just stood there foolishly.
“Hey, good brother Wang, why are you standing there like a fool?”
That’s right, she was kicked out without any money and now she had so many useful things, forget about the warm spring mom, even Mingzi and Dou Zi were surprised, just where did Lin Chunnuan get the money from and how did she buy all these things?
Of course, she also put in a lot of effort. In our village, other than a few adults who can drill in the woods, no one else can drill in the woods, it’s so dangerous. I heard that before, there were hunters who went up the mountain and never came back.
Climbing the mountain was such a difficult task, but she was actually able to keep up with his footsteps. Needless to say, he knew that she had gritted her teeth and held on, thinking that when he first knew he was going to the mountain to look for food, she wasn’t as fast as he was now.
I can see that she’s a strong person, but she’s also smart and willing to do it. At such a young age, she’s already able to make money, much better than us men. She’s much better, you can tell her in private that if there’s any opportunities to make money in the future, she can help us out a bit.
They did have the strength, but they didn’t have the brains or the connections to make money. If they could hang out with Wen Wan’s little brother, they wouldn’t have to earn much. As long as they didn’t have to trick him into snatching the food, they would have enough to eat with their mother.
For the wisdom of spring warmth, Dou Wang is good and honorable.
“Wang Tong, why aren’t you coming in?”
Inside the house, Zhang Liu had recovered from her shock and realized that Dou Wang had not been in the house for a long time. She knew that was hiding in the courtyard and had hurriedly called him in.
If not for those bowls and plates, he would have been thrown inside the room. Zhang Liu hurriedly moved all the things that should have been moved to the kitchen and placed them inside. Seeing so much seasoning, he really wanted to scold his daughter.
He opened his mouth and then closed it again. After all, his daughter wanted him to live a good life. Besides, there were still two little ones eating snacks, so it wasn’t a mistake.
“aconitine, Soybean, it will be too late if you don’t go back now, I won’t keep you guys for dinner. You guys can go back and discuss with my brothers if you can help me build a house.
Ming Zi and Dou Zi listened to what he said and really wanted them to build the house. They were so excited that they didn’t know what to say. This job could last from one and a half months to two months.
Bean and I will go and discuss with them tonight. Would you think that there are too few people and slow down your work? If that’s the case, then we will think of a way to find a few more people to build the house?
With fewer people, he could work for a few more days and earn a few more days of money, but Mingzi didn’t want to drag on with her work.
“No need, just the few of you are enough. It’s not like we don’t have a place to stay. We don’t need to worry about the length of time, as long as it’s strong and sturdy. Don’t let the rain leak out and the wind blow.”
Lin Chunnuan’s words made the few of them burst out in laughter. This was just a joke that Ming Zi was telling them on the way here, they did not expect that they would still remember the joke.
“What are you talking about? It’s so lively.”
Zhang Liu kept her bowl and chopsticks and returned to her room to pack up her stuff. Coincidentally, she heard a few people laughing, and Chun Jiao and Chun Xiao, the two little guys, were squatting in a corner to play with Little Spot.
Mother, I want aconitine and the others to help us build a house, it’s the end of the year, it’s good time to build a house, we don’t even need to go into the autumn, and the house will be ready. If it wasn’t for the lack of materials, we would have had to go up the mountain to build a stone foundation, and also need to cut down wooden beams.
Hearing that his daughter wanted to build a house, Zhang Liu’s face slowly broke into a smile.
“That’s good.”
Only with his own house would he feel safe.
“Are we going to have our own house soon, Warm Spring?”
Zhang Liu thought about the house, and she couldn’t help but smile. This was way too drastic, she was even kicked out of his house yesterday, and didn’t have a roof over her head.
“But, but …”
Thinking about the key problem, Zhang Liu’s smile slowly disappeared.
“Do we have money? It will cost a lot of money to build a house. Spring heat, how about next year? Let’s save up some silver this year.
No one knew how reluctant he was to part with his new home. On the way home, the moment he saw the warm spring air knocking on his door, he almost burst into tears. Someone in his house was waiting for him; it was a warm feeling that could not be described.
Dou Wang nodded his head affirmatively, allowing Zhang Liu to feel at ease.
“Look, it’s warm in the spring and we’re not in a hurry to move out. We’ll stay here for now. Let’s work well this year. After we save up some money, we’ll build a house, alright?”
Zhang Liu did not want to make things difficult for his daughter. Such a huge sum of money was not something that could be taken out just because she wanted to take it out. The things piled on the brick bed should have already cost his daughter the money she spent on selling these things.
“Mother, you don’t need to worry about the money, I do, Wangzhige knows, he agreed to let us continue living, it’s not that I can’t afford to stay, it’s just that it’s not easy for him to reject you, right, Wangzhige?”
Dou Wang wanted to say no, but he couldn’t open his mouth to retort. He felt a bit awkward.
If not, given how far away the town and the Reliance Village are, you would never be able to return home, and there are no rooms in the Wangzhige anymore. Fortunately, the weather is getting hot, and we can build a thatched cottage to help us get through the summer.
There was nothing he could do about it. Fortunately, the weather was getting warmer, so it was easier to endure the summer. However, Mingzi still couldn’t let go of this matter in his heart.
“Alright, we’ll go back and discuss it now. But can I make a condition?”
“Go ahead, aconitine.”
Lin Chunnuan liked to keep these kind of words on her head, so as to not cause trouble in the future, it would be even more troublesome. She wanted to settle this in the front, and only work would be left in the back, and there would be no need to worry.
I have an old lady in my family who isn’t in good health, so I have to take care of her. I can’t leave her alone at home.
He also knew that this wasn’t really appropriate, so he was very nervous when he asked,
“As long as we have a meal every day. My mother is just physically weak and can move around. She won’t give you guys too much trouble and can even help with the cooking. I just don’t trust her alone.”
Without waiting for Lin Chunnuan to speak, Zhang Liu had already agreed to it.
“Okay, okay, no problem. It’s just that the brick bed isn’t enough for me. I need a bed in my room. When the time comes, your mother will have a place to sleep.”
Ming Zi was already satisfied that he had agreed to bring his mother here. How could he let his mother sleep in a warm spring room? He didn’t dare to do such a thing.
“No need, no need. Just wait until we wake up in the thatched cottage and sleep there. The thatched cottage will be built well, and we’ll also have to shelter ourselves from the elements.”
How could Zhang Liu let the old man live in that kind of room?
“It’s just adding to the bed, it’s not like it’s too much trouble. Older people don’t have good health, how can they live in a thatched cottage? No, that won’t do.”
Upon hearing that Ming Zi was filial, Zhang Liu already had a good impression of him. She felt that anything that could help him would be willing to help, so she agreed without hesitation to have his mother come over.
Ming Zi was about to speak, but Lin Chunnuan interrupted him.
“aconitine, it’s settled then. You can come over in two days, it’s just that you should come earlier. You have to build the thatched cottage in one day, so that you won’t have a place to stay at night.”
Ming Zi was so touched that he couldn’t speak anymore. He stood up and bowed deeply towards Lin Chunnuan and Zhang Liu, his eyes slightly red.
“Then I’ll be going back with Bean. If it’s okay, we’ll come over tomorrow.”
Pulling up the beans, he walked out the door. He was grabbed by Lin Chunnuan and stuffed with ten gold coins.
“Hey, here’s the money for today’s delivery. You guys take it.”
The two of them would naturally decline, but Lin Chunnuan still paid the money. Since they were in an employment relationship, then they would have to keep their promises.
After deciding on the building of the house, Zhang Liu felt that she had the ability to do anything she wanted. She quickly finished off the cotton wool and pressed it on top of the bed, then started to cut the fabric for the blanket. Looking at the brand-new cloth that was cut into exactly the same size, Zhang Liu’s face was filled with smiles.
