After Xia Xi said that, the village head was stunned. After a while, he came back to his senses and became excited. "Lady Xia, what you said is true. Do you really build a school for the village?"

"Of course, I'll pay for the money."

"Great!"

The village head suddenly stood up, rubbed off a piece of watermelon, and forgot his heartache. He was so excited that he walked around the yard many times before calming down his mood. "Lian, you are talking with Lady Xia. Dad, where is it suitable to build a school?"

"Ah."

Wei Lian happy should be, took a watermelon want to give Xia Xi to eat.

Take up, just remember she said can't eat more, quickly put down, stand up, and poured a big bowl of warm water, put in front of her, "Xia Niang Zi, you drink water."

"No, you can go to my house with me."

"All right."

Wei Lian came into the room, took the key of the workshop, went there, opened the door of the workshop, and went over here.

I haven't lived in the house for a long time. It's very cold in the room. After Xia Xi went in, Wei Lian opened the door completely to let the sun in. She went to the workshop and took a broom to clean the yard. She saw that there was dust and splashed some water on the ground.

Xia Xi came out again, and the yard was clean.

"Sister Wei Lian, don't be busy. I don't live at home."

Wei Lian patted the dust on her body. "It doesn't take much effort, just bending over. Have you finished reading it?"

"It's over."

"Come on, go home."

Wei CAI has been waiting at home.

The village head went out and met him on the way. He couldn't help saying that Xia Xi was going to build a school.

Wei Cai ran, did not see anyone, asked a few children, know Xia Xi went home, and sat in the shade waiting.

Looking at them from a distance, he quickly stood up and waited. After Xia Xi entered the yard and sat down, he said, "Lady Xia, my father said you want to build a school for the village?"

"I have this plan."

"Can I do the work of doors and windows?"

Words fall, see Xia Xi see him, busy and added, "I only want half of the salary, also calculate me to build a school."

"Second brother, can't you give up the salary?"

Wei Lian laughed and joked.

"That's not good. The second brother's family have a meal by pointing to this. If they don't want to pay, we'll have a drink."

"Don't think I don't know. How many taels of silver have you saved this year? If you don't earn these, you'll have nothing to drink?"

Wei Cai laughs, "silver is a little, but I don't want to save money to send two children to school. Naturally, I can earn a little, a little."

Wei Lian smiles and shakes her head.

Second brother is very stingy. It's hard to get half of his salary.

After dinner and talking with the village head's daughter-in-law for a while, Xia Xi went back to the county. It was still early. She went to the store first and gathered the people together. "I'll collect the wheat right away. If you're too busy at home, you can ask for leave."

Almost all the people waved their hands, even said no, only Zhu himself said he wanted to ask for leave.

"Where's LAN er?"

"She doesn't have to. I don't have much land at home. I can get over it myself."

How can one be busy with the wheat harvest. But only Eugene's daughter-in-law and Lan'er can make cold skin in the shop. If Lan'er asks for leave, Eugene's daughter-in-law will be exhausted.

Zhu and Lan'er thought about it a few days ago, thinking that when Zhu was too busy, he would hire people. There were many people in the village with little land.

"Well, then, the ox cart will be left in the village and given to the village head uncle for unified use. You will be wronged to walk back and forth for a few days."

Everyone should and, "there is no injustice, we used to walk back and forth."

"Well, I don't think there are many people outside. You should clean up first and go home early later."

Everyone scattered, each busy, Xia Xi went to the backyard.

Shi Sanxiang, wearing an apron and leaning against the door of the small kitchen, was thinking about something. When he saw Xia Xi coming, he immediately stood up and said, "Lady Xia, you're here."

Xia Xi looked up at the sky, and then looked at his apron, "today's business is so good, there are still guests?"

"No, the guests have already left. I'm cooking a new dish. It's stewing on the stove. I'll come out to breathe."

Xia Xi walked over and said, "what's new?"

"The secret braised pork is our family dish. My elder brother just taught me. I'll try it."

"Where's your big brother?"

Xia Xi asked casually.

"He's still resting in the house."

Speaking of his eldest brother, Shi Sanxiang's eyes darkened. Last night, he wanted to sleep with his eldest brother. Shi Daxiang could not resist his request. As long as he agreed, when he saw his eldest brother take off his clothes, he saw that his bones were wrapped in leather. One by one, he could see clearly. Shi Sanxiang almost burst into tears.

Shi Daxiang, aware of his emotions, comforted him in turn, "it's just that there is no meat. The elder brother comes back after some time. It's better than being in a dark prison."

"Let him have more time to rest and keep good spirits. You can stew more soup for him every day."

"Well."

Shi Sanxiang answered simply.

He was afraid that his tears would really fall down and he changed the topic. "My eldest brother's cooking is much better than mine. My grandfather and my father planned to let him inherit our family's mantle, and taught him the skills of housekeeping. This secret braised pork is one of them."

"It's so good. I'll try it later."

"Of course, you have to be the first to taste it. When I do it, I always look at the time and guess that it's almost time for you to come back. It's a pity that it's summer and there are not many people who eat it, but I can take this opportunity to practice my skills. "

"Lady Xia, third brother."

Shi Daxiang's voice rings behind them. Shi Sanxiang asks him to have a good rest in the room. He can't sleep. He just lies in bed.

Hearing Xia Xi's voice, he got up, combed and came out.

Two people turn around, Xia Xi asks, "wake up?"

"Wake up."

Shi Daxiang's kind response, sniffed, "almost, another quarter of an hour will be out of the pot."

"Lady Xia, see? This is my elder brother's skill."

Shi Sanxiang proud show off, "my big brother just by smell can know how cooked a dish."

"My third brother exaggerates. Don't be misled by him, lady Xia. I know when he did it, so I estimate it."

"Elder brother, what are you modest about? Lady Xia is also an expert. She will know if you do it or not."

Thinking of the dishes Xia Xi gave him in prison, Shi Daxiang believed his third brother's words completely. "I was lucky to have eaten the food Xia Niangzi cooked. It's really delicious. It's better than our brother."
