On the first day of August, the last tile of the house was put on by the twins themselves. Master Hong said that if there is a beginning and an end, the house will be built.
At noon, song Xintong made a table full of good dishes to thank Master Hong for them.
Master Hong looked at the rich dishes on the table with a smile. He held his chopsticks and said to Mr. Zhang: "Mr. Zhang, you are not here these days, but you eat less delicious food. Look at my brother, are you getting fat?"
The old man in green shirt nodded with a smile, "no, even Lao Ba, who is thin and dry, has grown some meat."
Lao Ba, who was named, patted his round stomach and said, "the food cooked by the host's family is delicious, so I can eat one more bowl every meal."
"You usually eat five big bowls, and you have one more? Thank you for your generosity, or I'll hate you! " Good relationship with the master joked.
Eight some embarrassed said: "Hey, hey."
"Lao Ba has a lot of strength. When he's full, one person will be the top three." Master Hong said with a smile.
Xie Daniu came over from the small worker's table in the village. "Master Hong, don't worry about going home after you finish drinking. Come to my house to have a drink in the evening."
"Daniel, it's not kind of you. We haven't finished our wine yet. How can we go to your house to drink it? Is your wine as good as the owner's?" Said one jokingly.
Xie Daniu was ashamed, touched his head and said: "the host's is sorghum wine, my family's is rice wine, not the same, not the same."
"Ha ha ha." Master Hong is generally happy, but he doesn't think that Xie Daniu's treatment is bad. "Yes, but I won't go this afternoon. When it's lucky time tomorrow, we'll go."
The Xie family also asked master Hong to help them build the new house. The promising day is the second day of junior high school, because it's just a small courtyard, and there are not many processing requirements. It's estimated that it won't be finished in half a month.
"That's it, that's it." Xie Daniu's honest response.
Lao Ba touched his stomach and asked Xie Daniu, "will you be able to eat the food cooked by the little master then?"
Xie Daniu was stunned and didn't know what to say.
Aunt Xie, who was delivering vegetables, said, "yes, I've agreed with Xintong. I'll ask her to help me when I get there. I'll make sure that you all enjoy it."
"That's good, that's good." Old eight big mouthful of eating meat, blurry speech.
After lunch, master Hong left with his own tools, and the whole yard was empty.
"Xintong, let's go back and clean up the house first, and move out everything that should be moved out." Aunt Xie took down her apron and hung it on the washing shelf beside the door of the room. "I'll come back later."
"Auntie and mother-in-law Qiu, please go ahead."
After the Xie family left, song Xintong took the water basin and cloth towel to the new house next to the thatched cottage, followed the long green brick wall, went to the vermilion gate, took out the key to open the gate, and then walked in.
As soon as you enter the gate, there is a stone screen wall. Under the screen wall, a small rockery is made according to song Xintong's suggestion, and there is a small pool under it. A lotus has been planted in the pool, and it has vitality.
Walking around the shadow wall, you can see the first courtyard. The main hall and the side hall are all available. There are also wing rooms and corridors on both sides, and the carvings under the eaves. All of them show the care of the craftsmen who built the house.
There is also a row of inverted houses near the edge of the wall, which master Hong suggested to build. If you have the chance to buy a few servants in the future, you can also live in them.
On the other side of the gate was the kitchen, which was larger and brighter than the original thatched rooms, with cellars and storerooms.
From the back door of the kitchen is a small yard. Two deep wells were dug near the wall, one for drinking and the other for washing.
Because the yard next to the small yard is a sundry yard. There is a laundry pool in it, and drying clothes will also be there.
Besides, there is an exit beside it, which can be regarded as a small back door. Not far from the exit, it's a place for parking carriages and feeding livestock, and it's also next to the thatched cottage. After moving in later, it's convenient to get in and out through the back door after removing it.
There are also two rooms in the yard, which are used to place tables. Although there is a dining room in the front yard, song Xintong thinks that if there are only three of them, he will still eat in the dining room.
There is also a door on the side of the open space. The door can be locked. Pushing the door is the passage to the yard.
On the passage is the half moon gate, which also has a door to prevent strangers from entering.
"Sister, our family is so big." The twins couldn't help sighing.
As soon as you enter the front, moyue will be two acres. It can't be big. Song Xintong pushed them into the second entrance, through a corridor with flowers, and walked inside. "This is the main courtyard. Your study and places for rest and play are all here. We don't live in the front courtyard. There are several small courtyards beside. You can choose one for your bedroom."
"Sister, choose first." Dabao and Xiaobao said with one voice.
Song Xintong sat on the railing, "let me tell you about it first. There are four small courtyards, one with plum trees, one with pear trees, one with hibiscus flowers, and one with Begonia flowers. You can live in whichever yard you like."
"I want pear trees. I can eat pears." Xiaobao smiles embarrassed.
"Then I want plum trees. Can I eat plum?" Dabao couldn't help asking.
"Yes, it's not only for seeing, but also for bearing fruit." Song Xintong said with a smile, "that elder sister chose to plant Begonia."
Xiaobao asked, "who will live with the hibiscus?"
"After you study and make friends, you can live with them when they come." Song Xintong thought about planting hibiscus, and the yard was just next to the front, so he might as well do something about it.
"Come on, sister, take you to the back of the mountain to have a look." Song Xintong took them along the corridor through the bluestone path between the two courtyards chosen by the twins. After the detour, the willows were dark and the flowers were bright.
"Wow..." the twins trotted up, "sister, how did it become so beautiful here?"
It used to be a small earthen bag with overgrown weeds and some peach trees, but now after it was cleaned up, it was paved with bluestone slabs, picked up the steps, and soon walked into the dense peach forest, and then climbed up a high pavilion built in the middle of the forest through the artificial small bridge and flowing water.
"Sister, it's still a small house here." Xiaobao was very surprised.
"Well, you can chat here later and sleep on this couch when you are sleepy." Song Xintong touched the wooden couch. It was very strong and could stand the trouble of two and a half boys.
Go to the window, push open the lattice, the wind slowly blowing into the house, blowing away the body's heat.
"Sister, there are so many trees, so big." Dabao was lying on the windowsill, looking at the flowing water and the shady peach trees.
"Well, it'll look better when it blooms." Looking into the distance, song Xintong saw that white clouds were like fog, surrounded by green mountains, majestic and grand.
Xiaobao buried his head in the clear water below, "sister, there are fish in the water."
"Well, it's still red." Dabao exclaimed.
Song Xintong also gave a gentle hum. The red festival was accompanied by luck. Mr. Feng Shui said that it would be good to feed more red Koi in this way.
Song Xintong also thinks like this, if can't bring good luck, then cook to eat!
