We agreed to farm, why do you go to the palace every day?
Chapter 79: Building the Beams
In the next few days, the construction of the new house was in full swing.
Luo Yu and Mu Feng did not relax at all!
When he woke up in the morning, he and Yun Niang were busy preparing lunch. Only after they finished lunch and Luo Yu cleaned up the kitchen did he have time to continue cutting and pickling radishes.
In the morning, Mu Feng would either be at home helping her or working on the new house. In the afternoon, he would go chop wood, hunt, and provide them with extra meals for the next day when they were working.
Luo Yu pickled radishes by first adding salt to remove moisture, then adding salt plums, sugar, peppercorns and chili peppers to pickle them together. This ensures that the radishes are refreshing and sweet.
Make some for them from time to time at noon.
The day before Luo Yu's family was going to put up the roof beams, Luo Luo's family finally came back.
When they passed by the village entrance and saw a house being built, they were wondering which family was building the house. After walking back into the village, they found out that it was Luo Yu's family who was building the house. They were happy for Luo Yu and Mu Feng, but also felt a little guilty for coming back a little late.
Aunt Lin and Lin Luoluo went home to put down their things and came to Luo Yu's house.
When he opened the door and saw them, Luo Yu said happily: "Aunt, Luoluo, you are finally back!"
Lin Luoluo said excitedly: "Luo Yu, are you building a new house?"
Luo Yu nodded and said, "We have some money in hand, so we should build a house of our own, otherwise we will always feel like we are living under someone else's roof."
Aunt Lin and Lin Luoluo looked at each other and smiled, expressing their understanding.
Seeing that Luo Yang didn't come over, Luo Yu asked curiously, "Aunt, didn't Uncle Lin and Luo Yang come over?"
Aunt Lin smiled and said, "They are at home. Luoyang walked a lot today and fell asleep because he was tired! Luoluo and I came to see if there is anything we can help with."
Luo Yu said softly, "Aunt, we're putting up the roof beams tomorrow, can you come and help me? We only provide lunch, and I've asked Yun Niang to come and cook lunch with me these past few days. And Uncle Lin, can you ask him to come over tomorrow? I want him to make some furniture, wardrobes, etc."
Aunt Lin heard that her husband could do what she wanted to do, so she agreed without hesitation and said, "Okay, we'll come together tomorrow. If you have anything, just tell your Uncle Lin directly."
At this time, Lin Luoluo handed the things she brought from her grandmother's house to Luo Yu. She took it without hesitation, took a look, and said, "Oh, it's red dates!"
Lin Luoluo said calmly: "Well, red dates, if we hadn't been busy helping uncle and his family to harvest red dates these days, we would have returned a long time ago!"
Luo Yu looked at Lin Luoluo and asked in annoyance: "Luoluo, how is your grandma? I just forgot that you guys went back. You mainly went to see your grandma."
Lin Luoluo pulled her over to sit down and said, "I'm recovering recently. The doctor said it's nothing serious and I just need to rest for a while."
Aunt Lin saw that the two of them were sitting and talking, so she would not provide dinner and naturally did not have to busy herself at the moment.
She slowly said, "Luo Yu, if you don't need my help now, I'll go back. I won't be home these few days, so I have to clean up. I'll come to help you tomorrow morning."
Luo Yu nodded obediently. Lin Luoluo went over to pick him up. She was only concerned with playing with the rabbit and not even looking at her little one. She said mischievously, "Aci, Sister Luoluo is so sad. You actually ignored me. Have you forgotten about me?"
When Luo Ci saw that it was Lin Luoluo, she smiled and called out sweetly, "Sister Luoluo, I didn't forget. Where is Brother Luoyang?"
Listening to her soft voice, and asking about Luoyang, she surrendered: "Brother Luoyang is at home, I will come over to play with you tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay!" Luo Ci said and ran away again.
So, Aunt Lin and Lin Luoluo came over for a while and then went back.
Thinking about putting up the roof beams tomorrow, she would have to cook more dishes, so she had to think about what delicious food to make.
We still have wild boar meat, beans, sauerkraut and vegetables in the house, but nothing else. I want to show off my skills, but the resources here are really scarce!
When Luo Yu was at a loss, Mu Feng came back.
Luo Yu noticed that his basket seemed very heavy, so he must have caught prey again!
Mu Feng came to Luo Yu, calmly put down the basket, took out two pheasants, two rabbits, and, uh, the snake that Luo Yu was most afraid of.
Mu Feng was calm, but Luo Yu became uneasy, especially when she saw the snake at the end. She almost jumped up and immediately moved away from him.
Mu Feng was a little at a loss. He didn't know that she was afraid of snakes. If he had known, he would never bring it back. Now he was let see it, which made him a little annoyed.
Then he said in panic, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were afraid of snakes. How about I throw it away?"
Hearing that he was going to throw the snake away, Luo Yu stopped him and explained: "No, snake meat is also very nutritious. I'm afraid, but you can eat it, but you have to deal with it tomorrow."
Mu Feng thought that he would keep the snake this time and would never take it home next time, so he put the snake where Luo Yu couldn't see it.
Luo Yu came over when she saw Mu Feng taking the snake away. Looking at the fat prey on the ground, she thought they would have a delicious meal tomorrow!
What Mu Feng saw when he came over was Luo Yu staring at the prey he had hunted with a silly smile on her face. This was Luo Yu. When she laughed, he also laughed foolishly.
"Mu Feng, you're awesome. I was just worrying about the roof beams tomorrow and there wouldn't be any vegetables, and you caught them." Luo Yu laughed.
Mu Feng thought, it’s a good thing that she was caught, otherwise she would probably look miserable.
He said helplessly: "Next time you have such troubles, tell me earlier and I will go to the mountains earlier. If you can't catch anything, I can think of other things."
Luo Yu nodded at him.
There will be no lunch today. It’s already very late now. I guess by the time she’s done, everyone can go home for dinner.
The two of them tacitly agreed not to mention it and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. They had to go to bed early as tomorrow would probably be even busier.
……
The next day, when the cocks crowed, Luo Yu and Mu Feng got up in tacit understanding and made preparations.
With the sound of firecrackers, Luo Yu's new house had made great progress. The helpers and the aunts who came to help all clapped their hands happily and blessed Luo Yu and Mu Feng.
While everyone here is celebrating, the eldest wife's family of the Luo family is disdainful: It's just laying down a roof beam, not building a big house, and you still have the nerve to set off firecrackers!
Really, they haven't even been to the village entrance to take a look, and they're just mocking Luo Yu for being incompetent. Well, Luo Dakuan came, but didn't he also go over there to take a look? Wait until the house is built and you'll be slapped in the face!
After the sound of firecrackers stopped, the helpers began to build the house; Luo Luo's family, the headman's wife and Yun Niang all came to Luo Yu to help prepare lunch. Everyone was busy, and soon everything was ready, and they just had to put the food in the pot to cook.
However, it was still Mu Feng who handled the snake. After he was done, he said to the village head's wife, "Aunt, this is snake meat. I'll trouble you to cook it for me later. Luo Yu is afraid of snakes."
The headman's wife took it and told him not to worry, and then he went to the new house to help.
After finishing their work, the aunts started chatting while cooking. They were so happy!
At this time, Uncle Lin came in and saw Luo Yu, and asked, "Luo Yu, I heard from your aunt that you want me to make furniture for you?"
