1.9 Repair the ancestral house
Perhaps because of his third uncle, the various equipment and facilities of the second brother Liu Wu’s family are now open to the fat guys for free. Hammers, fire tongs, ox carts, guillotines...
Like the big ancestral home of the little fat man’s family, these things from the third uncle’s family are also symbols of wealth.
The mare's belly is getting bigger and bigger, as if it is about to give birth. After seeing it, the third uncle said that he should take good care of it in the future, so the fat man became even busier.
Just now, under the help of Liu Wu, the forage was cut finely and mixed with beans as feed for mares. The horse is human and has been taken care of by the fat man for a long time and becomes more intimate with him.
When others came forward, they couldn't help but kick and bite them. The fat man stepped forward, but he put his head intimately into his arms. Liu Wu was so jealous.
The horses of the San Uncle's family were said to be real Wuhuan war horses, but they had been scolded and could not be bribed. They were often ridden by the San Uncle on weekdays, but Liu Wu had basically no hope.
Speaking of which, when Liu Bei raised his army, there were 300 heroes in the village. I wonder if Liu Wu was also among the 300 heroes.
"Three brother, what are you thinking?" Seeing that the guillotine had not fallen for a long time, Liu Wu couldn't help asking.
"Oh, nothing." The little fat man smiled and pressed the guillotine hard.
The two brothers worked together to chop the grass, put on the ox cart and transported it back to their home. Unfortunately, the middle door was decayed and could not be opened, otherwise the ox cart would be directly admitted to the hospital.
The fat man wanted to repair the old house before, but his mother did not agree. He bought a horse and repaired the house again, which was too eye-catching and probably attracted people's attention. But seeing the two and a half-old boys struggling to carry baskets of fodder into the stable, out of feeling sorry for his son, his thoughts were a little loose.
In addition, Liu Wu also made great efforts, and the woman came up with a plan.
The mare was eating deliciously, but the two brothers were so tired that they sat next to the haystack, holding their dog's tail grass in their hands, bored as the white clouds rolled in the sky.
"Dun'er, Xiaowu, come and have a drink of water."
"Auntie Xie." Liu Wu hurriedly got up and took it.
The little fat man smiled and took the water, raised his head to drink.
"Third brother, my father said that before the mare gave birth, he would take it out for a walk. It was a big problem to stay in the groove all day long." Liu Wu suddenly patted his head and said.
"It makes sense." Seeing that the mare had almost eaten, the fat man went to take him.
Qingxi next to the village is an excellent place to go. The wind is cool and the water is cool and the air is fresh. The mare is walking along the stream, eating tender grass bite after bite.
Liu Wu accompanied the fat man to catch insects and feed chickens everywhere.
Hehehe, it was almost dark. The two brothers led their horses back.
That night, when I heard the mare neighing, the fat man who had been tired for a day was sleeping heavily and got up lazy. Early the next morning, there was a lot of crying in the front yard. When my mother came in and called him, I realized that the mare had a foal.
"Birth? Why don't you wait for me?" The little fat man was very upset.
The mother couldn't help but smile and said, "Why are you waiting for you for a mare?"
"Oh, I didn't see it with my own eyes, so I was disappointed." After washing up, the fat man jumped out. There were already many people in front of the stable. Uncle San was carrying a pottery bowl and feeding water to the foal. Liu Wu said that some salt was sprinkled inside.
The mare was lying on the side, chewing on the grass. In addition to the remaining blood stains under the buttocks, it was not serious. Uncle San smiled at the anxious little fat man and said, "It must be a thousand-mile horse!"
Uncle San knows how to be close to each other and is loyal and will never joke. He is so happy that the fat man rubs his hands straight.
I bought a sick horse back with nineteen gold coins in the first episode, and now I bought one free one, so I naturally made a lot of money! Just as I was so proud, my mother came over and whispered to him.
The little fat man was stunned at first, but then smiled and nodded repeatedly, giving his mother a thumbs up.
He glanced at the fat son, and the woman said loudly: "Uncle, I am very concerned about taking care of the mare on weekdays. How about sending this foal to him?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Wu was cheering. But Uncle San clasped his fists and stepped forward: "Sister-in-law is serious?"
"Of course, take it seriously." The fat man smiled and took over.
"I'm not kneeling down and thanking me!" Uncle San pulled Liu Wu over and pressed him to the ground and kowtowed him three times.
A good horse is worth twenty gold. It is not possible for ordinary people to make a fuss even if they sell it!
The fat man had learned his skills before and gave him hundreds of cents of money. This time, the third uncle gave him a good bow, several animal skins, and ten pieces of copper coins (ten strings).
The good bow is about six feet long (about 138 cm), with asymmetrical upper and lower bow arms, long upper and shorter lower, suitable for riding and shooting. It is a Hun style. Although it belongs to a long bow, it can also be classified as a riding and shooting bow. This bow is simple and unpainted, with elegant wood grain. The bow handle is wrapped with a layer of mature cowhide and a rope is wrapped at the tip of the bow. The arrow point is out on the left side of the bow handle, and a round cow horn is also inlaid to prevent the arrow feathers from wearing out. The bow handle is designed with a lot of careful design.
The bow string is hard and said there are two stones. The little fat man can't pull it away now.
After hearing from Liu Wu, the third uncle found Xiong Fu's traces and was preparing to hunt for the gift. Xiong Fu was not in a hurry, and the little fat man had something to ask for.
This made the third uncle block the house in front of the wild forest.
After looking at Jinbing, Uncle San asked, "Dun'er, what's the point?"
"Reporting to my uncle, this gold is my mother's dowry. The old house has been disrepaired for a long time and is often damaged. I was plagued by everything before and it was not enough to repair it. Now my father has passed away and only a widow in the family is left, so I want to beg my uncle to do it for him."
"So that's it." After a moment of contemplation, the third uncle stroked the steel beard and smiled: "I said what's the matter? Why do you need Dun'er to ask for something? I'll find someone for you!"
"Thank you so much for uncle." The little fat man left with confidence.
Although gold cakes are expensive, they are far less than good horses.
Not to mention that the third uncle is loyal and will never be greedy for introverts, even if he has this intention, one gold or one horse, how should he choose? The little foal is raising breasts every day and is far from being a minor. The foal hasn't gotten it yet, and if he wants to be greedy for this golden cake, his head must have been kicked by a donkey.
In less than a few days, craftsmen came one after another, logging wood and collecting stones, and they were so busy that they could not get anything done.
The supervisor has his own third uncle. He is a big man with a strong beard and a beautiful tiger's skin. He keeps shouting loudly, which can shock the young man.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Uncle San is repaying his favor. He got a good horse and repaired the old house for Xiaopang's family. It is natural for him to do so!
So, there is no need to ask where this golden cake comes from. Everyone thinks it is the money paid by Uncle San!
Even the old patriarch nodded repeatedly, what else can others say?
My mother's plan is really brilliant.
In this era, the material costs are extremely low, basically no. The cost is mostly wages and salary. Going up the mountain to cut wood and get stones is extremely labor-intensive and it is also a big part of the expenses.
As for wood and stone, I haven't heard of it.
Near the repaired middle door, the guest house is called the door veranda (the corridor house connected to the door hut). The kitchen in front of the right has a stove, stove, and well railing. The courtyard is a hall, and the back hut is an inner courtyard, which is the owner's residence and has a back hall. The front hall is an guest, and the back hall is a place for banquets, singing and dancing.
In addition, ancillary buildings such as vans, stables, kitchens, warehouses and slave residences were rebuilt. At the base of the back wall, a relatively high viewing building was newly built.
Before winter began, the door had been painted three times. The door was nailed upwards.
