Rebirth is not difficult

Chapter 37 The house is built

Delicious food and drinks were served, and twenty or so men came to work sincerely. The small second-floor house, bricklayers and carpenters all dispatched, and the first floor was built very quickly.However, there is no reinforced concrete, and a whole column is used instead.

But of course they are not as thick as Song Yi's family. They are all pine trees cut on the nearby mountains, so they are just good for pillars.

There are many beams on the second floor. The master carpenter split the pine trees that are slightly thinner than the pillars into squares, polished them, and then let the men put them in the reserved grooves.

After nailing the good wooden boards one by one, it became a floor, and then built it up after it was ordered. Everyone worked together, so it didn't take long for the house to be built.

It was the time for the roofing of beams and tiles, and a lot of firecrackers were set off early in the morning. Most of the people in the village who hadn't gone out came to watch the excitement. When the auspicious time came, the elder patriarch was invited out to say If it is auspicious, the girder can be put on it.

According to the number of people in the village, Su Qing asked someone to make a lot of meat buns and steamed buns and distributed them to the people in the village. Every household had them. He asked someone to deliver them to everyone yesterday evening. A lot of people came.

He also bought a lot of peanut candies and had them sprinkle them down from the second floor. There were fifty copper coins in them, which were wrapped into small red envelopes, and they were also sprinkled along with the candy peanuts. Whoever picked it up would get it.

At the beginning, it was still those children and some brothers, all laughing and grabbing things below, and later even some men joined in. Although it was a bit unclean when it fell to the ground, no one would dislike it.

These days, sometimes I can't get enough to eat, so I don't have the money to buy fruit to eat.There are still copper coins to pick up, which makes people even happier. Su Qing is really a good person.

The master carpenter fixes the wooden rafters one by one, and then the tiles can be covered.Those villagers who benefited were willing to help, lined up one by one, and borrowed two long ladders from Song Yicheng's family, and many people stood on the ladders, so that the tiles on the ground were passed to the roof, and the roof The few men on board carefully laid the tiles.

Su Qing is also very generous, let the helpers come to have a meal of noodles at night, but they will not come empty-handed, more or less they will send a la carte, noodles, although not many, but it is a little heart, Su Qing didn't dislike it either, and happily invited everyone to the table.

Finally, when everyone had finished eating, they shared the unfinished meals with everyone.Because it was too late, the borrowed tables, chairs and benches were agreed to be returned the next day, but the dishes and chopsticks were returned on the same day. Of course, Su Qing would not borrow them for nothing, and always expressed a little bit.

After the house is built, it needs to be decorated. The inside and outside are painted with lime, and the outside is wiped with coarse sand and lime from top to bottom, so that the whole looks better than the houses in the village. It looks a lot better.

The floor was also sanded down and had to be painted over with varnish.Not only smooth but also refreshing, but the taste is a bit bigger.It has to be tasted.

The layout on the first floor is very simple. There is a main room with a long altar on the top, a shrine in the middle, a candlestick on each side, and an Eight Immortals table below, all painted with bright red paint. A large and rich peony hall.

Several landscape paintings were also hung on the other two walls, all of which were gifts from Song Yicheng.Su Qing thought it was good, so he hung up all of them.

On the left is a large room, empty and empty. Su Qing said that this room is reserved for a spare, and we will see what is suitable for it at that time. There is a small living room in front of the right, with a small coffee table and two reclining chairs. The stairs are in the Behind the small living room.

The wooden stairs are neither wide nor narrow, and there is a bend, where a small window is opened on the wall, so that it will not look too dark, and after a few steps, you will go to the second floor.

There are three rooms on the second floor, a large master bedroom is on the right hand side, and the other side is divided into two secondary bedrooms, separated by a wide corridor in the middle, which can directly reach the front balcony. The top of the wood is made into a corridor, and the two pillars are directly covered by a wooden board on the street, which can be used for sitting and resting.

The furniture has also been laid out according to Su Qing's requirements, each room has it, but the two second bedrooms are obviously much simpler, just a carved bed, a table, a few chairs, and a cabinet. The bed is much larger, with finer carvings, which will be used for marriage in the future.

There are also tables, chairs and benches. The cabinets are made according to the combination furniture, and the outside is painted, which looks very grand.On the day it was shipped, many people in the village came to watch the excitement, and they all thought it looked good, and they were arguing to buy it when they had money.

The roof is also suspended with wooden boards, so that the beams can be seen directly without lifting it.The second floor is all wooden floors, Su Qing thought that it would be more comfortable to buy some carpets when he had the opportunity.

Each room has windows, and they are all very large. The window rails are made of wood, and there is a balcony outside. The room is also very bright, and curtains are hung, but it is still a little worse because there is no glass.

After the house was built, Su Qing calculated that it cost more than 200 taels of silver, and felt a little distressed, but was interrupted by Duan Qi, so she forgot the distress.

It was already the end of November, and it was already very cold. Su Qing discussed with Duan Qi, and finally decided to move in when they got married next year, and take advantage of this time to put away the smell of paint in the room.

The sweater and wool trousers have already been made, very common ingot needles, two sets for one person, Duan Qi likes it very much, and put it on immediately, the sweater fits well, but the obscene clothes inside do not match, Su Qing racked his brains to change the obscene clothes As a shirt, it looks much better when worn, and it also makes Duan Qi's figure even more outstanding.

Duan Qi always felt uncomfortable when he put on his shirt. Originally, it was enough to tie it under the armpit with a rope, but now he had to button several buttons in the front. The small buttons made of wood only had two holes, but they were better than those made of cloth. The buttons are much more convenient.

But he thinks this sweater is good, it doesn't look very thick, but it is very warm. As long as you put on a coat, you don't feel cold without a cotton jacket. Anywhere is fine.

Song Yicheng said one way or another disgusted, but he also asked Su Qing to make two shirts, how could he favor one over the other, Su Qing was so entangled that he had no choice but to agree.

After getting it back, I put it on immediately, and let the servants come to see my heroic appearance. The sweater and wool trousers are much more self-cultivating than cotton-padded trousers.

In fact, people who practice martial arts like them can survive even if they don't wear cotton clothes and trousers, but how can Su Qing live up to his heart.

Scarves and gloves were woven with extra wool. Of course, Duan Qi and Song Yicheng must have some, and they also wove a pair of gloves for Fang Amu's family.

Fang Xiaoyu was very wronged when she saw it, and Su Qing also felt that she was wrong, but she didn't have much wool, so she had to knit him a pair of gloves and promised to teach him how to knit a sweater if she had wool, so that he would be happier.

The Chinese New Year will be one month away. There are no other festivals in Dacheng, but there are Chinese New Years. The chickens and ducks at home have already started to lay eggs, but because of the cold weather, there are only two or three a day.

Su Qing didn't leave the eggs either, and fried them up and ate them.

Pigs are already very fat, probably because of eating tofu, and they grow much faster than ordinary people.I killed it before the Chinese New Year, and I thought it would be delicious to get some sausages, bacon or something.

Duan Qi was very curious when he saw Su Qing standing in the pigsty with a smile on his face, and walked over, "Qing'er, what are you thinking about, you are smiling so happily."

"Ah, brother, you are here. Look how fat our pig is. In a few days, someone will come over and slaughter him. Then I will make sausages for you to eat."

Kissed Su Qing's nose, it was so cold, "Okay, then I will have a good taste of Qing'er's handicraft, but now let's go into the house quickly, it's very cold here, don't freeze." Holding Su Qing's hand back to the room.

Su Qing was used to Duan Qi kissing him without moving, but her face still blushed uncontrollably.Duan Qi's hand is much bigger than Su Qing's, and it is very warm, unlike Su Qing's hand which is cold in winter. Although it is a bit rough, Su Qing likes the feeling of being held by Duan Qi very much.Very warm and safe.

"Well, listen to you."

The two entered Su Qing's room, and there was a stove in it, not the kind that burns wood.It is a square wooden shelf, not as high as about [-] to [-] centimeters, with an iron pot in the middle. Usually, after cooking, just shovel the red-hot charcoal fire in the stove into it. When it is about to go out, add a little charcoal to continue. bake.

Winter is very cold. Su Qing's body is usually not very good. In winter, her hands and feet are cold, especially when she sleeps at night, her feet are cold all night.Duan Qi asked him to soak his feet in hot water, but it didn't work. Su Qing was so cold last night that he couldn't sleep at night, so he asked the carpenter to help him build a stove frame and buy a small iron pot to warm the fire.

"Brother, sit down and enjoy the fire. It's really cold outside. It would be great if there were sweet potatoes. You can put them in and simmer them. They will be delicious after they are cooked." Su Qing licked her tongue, reminiscing about her previous life Eating baked sweet potatoes.

"Hehe." Duan Qi smiled, "I don't think I've heard of what a sweet potato is."

Sighing, "I also overheard someone talking about it, and I don't know if it's true or not."

Duan Qi didn't ask anymore, the two sat on the stove, head to head, leaning together, "Brother, do you want to go home for the Chinese New Year this year?"

Su Qing felt the hands around her waist tightened, "This is my home, where do I go back?"

"Hehe, that's right, this is our home, we won't go anywhere, we will travel around when we are free in the future."

"Qing'er, I really want to get married as soon as possible, so that we will be a real family, and no one will ever be able to separate us."

"Hehe, I am the same, I really want to get married soon." After speaking, she shyly buried her head in Duan Qi's arms.

"Hehe, this is embarrassing."

"No." Su Qing's muffled voice came.

"Okay, don't hold back, let's talk if you have something to say."

Su Qing lowered her head and said softly, "I saw you going out last night...you didn't come back until dawn."

Duan Qi was stunned for a moment, looked at Su Qing, sighed, then hugged him on his lap, facing himself.

Su Qing hurriedly said, "I didn't see it on purpose, I just wanted to go to the bathroom, so..." Su Qing's eyes turned red anxiously, he didn't want Duan Qi to misunderstand him, but he was really uneasy.

"Don't worry, I didn't mean to blame you." He hesitated before speaking, "I went to see my former subordinates last night, and you know why I came here."

Su Qing nodded, looking a little pitiful.

"Recently, the frontier has been a bit chaotic. The emperor sent the eldest prince to investigate the cause. Unexpectedly, he was ambushed and seriously injured. The emperor killed many people in anger, and several of my subordinates were also implicated. They were afraid that this would affect me. , sent me a message."

"Then you..." Su Qing didn't dare to say whether he would leave or not.

"It's okay, I'm just a farmer in the country now, no one will pay attention to me."

"Really?" The worry in Su Qing's eyes didn't dissipate at all, but he didn't know what to do, he felt that he was so useless, he couldn't help Duan Qi at all, and maybe it would drag him back , I was shocked.

"Okay, I didn't tell you because I was afraid that you would think too much. Don't be afraid, I will never leave you. Never." The two hugged each other, and they didn't know whether they said this to Su Qing or Tell yourself.
