Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

Lian Fangzhou regretted a little bit. After she agreed to the trial calculation, she remembered that there are no Arabic numbers in this country. At this time, seeing Shi Lao Cai actually asked that, she smiled slightly and said with some embarrassment: "It's actually me. It’s just a few symbols you can use at will."

"Oh..." Shi Laocai didn't know whether he believed it or not, and couldn't help but ask again: "How did the girl figure it out so quickly?"

Lian Fangzhou "pushed" a smile and said, "Mental arithmetic!"

There are no wonders in the world, and some people are born with mental arithmetic. This is not impossible.Shi Lao Cai laughed and sighed: "The second child is an eye-opener today! I have lived for most of my life, and I have never seen such a good mental arithmetic person before, even a girl is really good!"

"Small bugs, you can't afford to be so boastful of you!" Lian Fangzhou hurriedly smiled modestly, and said: "This number is clear, we should go back too!"

"Haha, wait, wait!" Shi Laocai readily agreed, calling two workers with a wave of his hand, and ordered the tiles they needed to be spotted and helped to load the car.

A large car can't be installed. It is estimated that it will take three or four trips to complete the installation. The total is two taels of silver. A 20% discount is one or two or six dollars. Lian Fangzhou smiled and thanked him.

Shi Laocai smiled straight and said "should", boasting that she knows etiquette.

Because the family also needed people to help unload the truck, Lian Fangzhou and Lian Ze went back with the bullock cart. The two sisters and brothers were naturally not in the car on the return trip, but walked alongside.

Li Damu originally asked his siblings to sit on the edge of the car together, but even Fangzhou and Lian Ze refused.

Li Damu was overwhelmed. He wanted to ask them to get in the car, but even Fangzhou refused to say anything: "Today I will trouble Uncle Li all day, and this cow is also very expensive. If you are tired, let alone you, we It will feel bad too, so save it!"

Li Damu suddenly couldn't say anything, he sighed and smiled: "Finally, Fangzhou, you can talk more and more, and you can talk in a different way! I can't say you, and I'll be with you. Let's go!"

As he said, he jumped out of the driving position.

Lian Fangzhou and Lian Ze were inconvenient to speak more, and the three of them laughed at each other.

The bullock cart walked slowly and had to load and unload the truck again, and was busy until the sun went down.It was Aunt Zhang, Li Juan and Zhao who also came to help unload the truck.

"Tomorrow should be a sunny day too, so don't delay! Tomorrow, my brother Sanhe and I will help you replace all the new tiles! Pick up the old tiles by the way.

The so-called picking up means overhauling.

Lian Fangzhou smiled and thanked him.

The next day was another full day of work, only to repair all the roof.

"The thick linen paper used to glue the windows can only be sold in the county town. At the end of the month, your Aunt Zhang will go to the market. Stop by and see if there is anything else you need to buy. Buy them together!" Li Damu Tao.

Lian Fangzhou planned to do the same, so he smiled and agreed, thanking and thanking him.

Looking up at the brand new roof, a full sense of accomplishment and steadfastness came to life. Lian Ze also sighed and couldn't help but said, "This is great. I'm not afraid of heavy rain anymore! I'm not afraid of winter anymore! "

Lian Fangzhou smiled and said: "Yes! When the windows are finished, I will buy two more quilts and pull some thick fabrics to keep them for winter clothes. There is no need to worry about winter-don't worry, it's only the end of September now! time!"

"Yeah," Lian Ze smiled and nodded: "Everything depends on my sister! But what is a quilt?"

Lian Ze asked in confusion.

"What?" Lian Fangzhou could hardly believe his ears and stared at him with his eyes wide open: "What did you say?"

"I--" Lian Ze was a little frightened by her look, and could not speak for a while.

Lian Fangzhou realized that he was busy and slowed down and said, "You say it again?"

Lian Ze glanced at her strangely, then said: "I asked my sister what a quilt is, I have never heard of it! Isn't it... a very expensive thing?"

quilt?Expensive?

Lian Fangzhou wanted to cry without tears, and hurriedly said, "Have you never heard of quilts? Then do you know what cotton is?"

"Cotton..." Lian Ze shook his head and asked, "What kind of flower is that? Does it look good? Is the fruit delicious?"

Lian Fangzhou was dumbfounded. Could it be that there was no cotton in this dynasty?She touched the clothes on her body, which were made of fine linen.It seems that the duvet covers and sheets are also made of this material, then—

"Then what's in the quilt we cover?" Lian Fangzhou asked hurriedly.

Lian Ze glanced at her even more strangely, but still replied: "Of course it is kapok, reed flower, and hemp, otherwise what do you think it is? Sister, you won't even forget this common sense?"

Lian Fangzhou's mind was messed up, ignoring the doubts in his words, and hurriedly asked: "Are these things filled in other people's quilts?"

"Of course!" Lian Ze nodded naturally, and said: "Not all, I heard that the rich man's house, the quilt is filled with silk."

It seems that there really is no such plant as cotton in this era.This is really...

Lian Fangzhou suddenly felt empty in his heart, the feeling that familiar things were being taken out.

She couldn't help but blurted out: "Is that kind of quilt covered with warmth? Can winter go through..."

"Punch!" Lian Ze couldn't help laughing, and said: "Sister, haven't you been here for so many years?"

Lian Fangzhou was taken aback, he laughed haha, nodded and smiled: "No! I'm all confused! See what I said!"

Let's follow the customs, she said to herself secretly in her heart.

"We have been exhausted in these two days. We will rest for a day tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, I will go to the field with you to collect sweet potato and taro." Lian Fangzhou smiled.

Although Lian Ze was tired, he didn't seem to be willing to take a break, and said, "Or, tomorrow, my sister will rest at home and I will go by myself."

"No!" Lian Fangzhou categorically refused, smiling: "You are still young, and when you are growing up, you can't overwork. If it hurts the root cause and leaves some root of the disease, it will be ruined in this life. I can't work anymore!"

Lian Ze heard her speak seriously, not like fooling herself, so he nodded and agreed.

In the past few days, Lian Fangzhou and the others were busy buying new tiles and repairing the roof. Qiao knew it, and was full of jealousy, and kept muttering next to Lian Li: "What a look, I have never seen such a shallow eyelid. A person! With two money in his hand, he is so fanciful, as if no one has it! Humph, if you are refunded the money you took, you still want to spend it, and you are not afraid of being embarrassed! It's so beautiful!"

Listening to her repeated murmurs, Lian Li couldn't help but feel a little annoyed by these words, so he hummed: "What's the use of saying these now? You are useless, and even a girl can't deal with it! I am so embarrassed to be here. Talk about it!"

Qiao knew that he was talking about his failure to get the money back from his parents. He was both annoyed, regretful and painful, and he cried out with anger, "You can only say me! Why don't you go when you are so capable!"

Lian Li pointed to himself and said, "I'm going? How can I go! Uncle grabbed something from my niece, so people know what to say?"

The Qiao family disagreed, and hummed: "What are you afraid of! Close the door, who knows what's going on? How dare those little turnip heads yell out? Even if they yell, who is there for the kids? I will believe it!"

The more he thought about it, the more he regretted it, and he whispered: "After all, you dare not..."

She aired again: "Twelve taels! It's worth more than half a year's expenses. What if someone says something? No, they can't be too cheap! I have to go and see!"

The Qiao family went straight to Lian Fangzhou's house and said without sourness or coldness: "Oh, your sisters and siblings are getting more and more capable, and even the house has been repaired! Tsk tsk, it's amazing!"
