C71 Buy Furniture

Upon hearing that there was food to be had, the workers dropped their work and jogged over. They worked day in and day out, occasionally resting was fine, but the crux of it was watching Ergouzi show off his love and eating pastries, so how could he have the heart to work?

Hei Ya gave everyone some pastries and even actively poured tea for them. Watching everyone eat with relish, she felt a sense of accomplishment.

"Not bad, Ergouzi's wife is not only good-looking, but her cooking skills are also not bad."

"That's right, it's really delicious. It's even more delicious than the snacks sold in the town."

"If everyone likes it, then eat more. There's no need to be polite." Wang Ergou shouted and hugged Hei Ya's waist. He really had a lot of face to have such a good daughter-in-law.

"Why aren't you eating?" Lili looked around at a group of workers and finally found the man in the crowd. Under the sun, Du Dazhuang was still stirring the lime and sand with a hoe.

"I don't like these sweet things." Du Dazhuang didn't look at the burning look in Hei Ya's eyes. He worked swiftly and his back was covered in sweat.

Hei Ya subconsciously swallowed her saliva. She really wanted to wipe the sweat off him, but she was afraid that her actions were too obvious and would lead to a misunderstanding. She suddenly thought of something and turned around to a big bowl of water and passed it to him, "Come, are you thirsty? Drink some water."

Du Dazhuang was thirsty and his mouth was about to be dehydrated. Seeing the big bowl that was handed to him, he took it without hesitation and drank it. Seeing his Adam's apple rolling, he felt like a man.

When he finished and handed the bowl to her, Du Dazhuang finally saw her small face clearly. She was wearing a floral dress, with two braids on her hair, and some dark faces with a pair of big eyes, a small nose, and dark red lips.

When Hei Ya saw how he was looking at her, her face turned slightly red. "Do you still want more water?"

"No, thanks." After Du Dazhuang said this, he continued to work hard. He and this group of workers were naturally incompatible, and he didn't want to go over even more when they were resting together.

The workers ate dim sum with bare arms and chatted for a while. No one paid attention to what was happening, but when Ergouzi turned around, he saw his wife running over to Du Dazhuang.

"Wife, there's nothing else. Quickly go home and rest."

"Sigh, alright." Hei Ya looked away from him reluctantly. She cleaned up the bowl and returned with an empty basket and a kettle.

Time passed in a flash, and soon, Xiao Family's house was built. The old house was also decorated, and the roof of the hut was replaced with tiles.

The old and new houses were next to each other, surrounded by a brick wall. The new tiled house stood out in the village, and Luo Mannmann had designed it herself.

After the new house was built, each of the eight workers received their wages. After seven days of work, they earned 200 gold coins a day, which was about half of the cost of 1 tael of silver. One tael of silver was equivalent to 1000 copper coins.

When it was Du Dazhuang's turn to collect the wages, Luo Mannmann handed it over to him and saw him stubbornly refusing it, "Mrs. Xiao, when I came here, I said that I owed you a favor so I came to help."

"One yard for one yard. You can't just work in vain. Come and take it."

Seeing that he couldn't beat her, Du Dazhuang could only take the salary. He felt the money was hot and scalding. His family was very rich and usually didn't need to work much. This time, he really put in a lot of effort.

"Dazhuang, is your sister doing well?" Luo Mannmann asked in a low voice.

"It's good that you've become less talkative and more hardworking. You've restrained your temper a lot. This matter is a huge blow to her."

"Hmm, then you guys should be more concerned about her." Hmm, then you should be concerned about her.

"En, thank you." Du Dazhuang was not good with words, so it was very rare for him to say such words.

The last one was the payment for Wang Daogu's wages. Wang Daogu and Zhang Luo had more things to do. Luo Mannmann gave him two taels of silver, which made him nod happily: "Thank you, Master Luo."

"We're all villagers, it's only natural. Furthermore, during the time I wasn't here, you took care of Xiao Family quite a bit. Thank you, Brother Wang."

Luo Mannmann was a person who knew how to repay favors, so Wang Daogu was moved when he heard this.

After the workers got their wages for a meal of farewell, they happily went back to their respective villages and homes.

Luo Mannmann did the arithmetic, and the wages for building the house and the workers, together with the money for the furniture, were almost a hundred taels.

In addition, Liu Shan had to save the money to buy her land. The remaining money from Xiao Family wasn't much, only several tens of silver taels.

Earning money wasn't easy. Spending money so quickly meant that she would have to rely on it in the future. She hadn't thought of that at the moment.

Xiao Yiming wandered around the new house. The more he looked at the new house, the more he liked it because this was the beginning of their new couple. Seeing Luo Mannmann sitting at the table with a brush to draw on Xuan paper, he knew that she was settling accounts.

"My wife, don't worry. My legs are already so nimble. If I go up the mountain and chop down trees to make small trees, I won't be able to live. In the future, I will make money to raise you and the buns?" Xiao Yiming walked behind her and wrapped his arm around her waist.

The round room wasn't even full yet, yet Xiao Yiming was already thinking about making buns. That was so far away, the corner of Luo Mannmann's mouth twitched.

After the building of the new house was completed, from time to time, some villagers would come over to look. Some people were jealous, some people were envious, and some were happy while others were sad.

During the day, Xiao Yiming, Luo Mannmann and Aunt Xiao were all cleaning the new house. Old house moved in some furniture that couldn't be considered old, like those tables and chairs that lacked arms and legs.

"Mannmann, this new house has already been built. Our village has a custom. Which village has a new house built? They need to set up a feast for the villagers." Aunt Xiao said as she wiped the table.

"Auntie, of course I know about this custom." Yes, marriage and building a new house were the most important things in the village.

"Hmm, I've already seen the calendar. The day after tomorrow is a good day. Why don't we set up the banquet that day and set up your new rooms as well. About that …"

Aunt Xiao's meaning was that no matter how obvious it was, the house and the fields were already here, so he had to hurry up and give birth to the steamed buns.

"Yes, yes, aunt." Luo Mannmann's face was flushed as she nodded her head, ignoring him.

The next morning, at dawn, when the roosters were crowing and Luo Mannmann was already used to getting up early, she rubbed her eyes and nudged Xiao Yiming. "Yiming, let's go buy some furniture in town today."

"Wifey, aren't you going to sleep a little longer?" Actually, Xiao Yiming had already woken up. Seeing that Luo Mannmann was sleeping soundly and didn't want to wake her up, he thought that it would be fine if he bought the furniture the day after tomorrow.

"Hurry up and get up. We still need to tidy up the bridal chamber."

After washing up, he ate breakfast. When he rushed to the village entrance, Big Uncle Zhang was still waiting with the ox-cart.

The couple sat on the oxen. As the breeze blew, the green mountain peaks on both sides of the road looked particularly pleasing to the eyes.

"My wife, do you still remember when I met you in town half a year ago?" Xiao Yiming suddenly felt touched.

"Don't mention it. At that time, I was being chased and beaten up. I was in a sorry state."

Luo Mannmann was a little embarrassed as she mentioned the past. If that Supreme One hadn't died back then, would she have transcended worlds? It would be impossible for her to meet such a man who treated her so well.

Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth curled up as she sweetly leaned on someone's shoulder.

"Hehe, my wife, that's because of your good luck. I brought some money with me that day, and it was originally meant to buy furniture. Otherwise, even if I wanted to buy furniture, I wouldn't have been able to do so." Xiao Yiming patted her shoulder and smiled.

The furniture in the house was in tatters and he had saved up some silver with great difficulty by relying on the small wood, wanting to buy some furniture to replace it. But when he saw Luo Mannmann being beaten up and bought the furniture as soon as his head got hot, it proved to be a wise decision.

"Then why did you buy me? I'm not good-looking, am I?" Luo Mannmann would raise her head and ask.

Xiao Yiming stared at her shiny black eyes, then touched her smooth face with his big hand, "This might be our fate."

When they arrived at the town, Big Uncle Zhang stopped the ox-cart at the side of the road. Luo Mannmann, who was napping against Xiao Yiming's shoulder, opened her eyes and regained her spirit. "So soon."

"You must be going to sleep soon." Xiao Yiming felt sorry for her. Her daughter-in-law had been exhausted these days, so tired that she could fall asleep while talking with him on the oxcart. Seeing the faint black circles around her eyes, Xiao Yiming felt heartbroken.

"Come, my wife, get off." He jumped off the oxcart first and helped her out.

Holding her hand and looking at the familiar street and shops, Xiao Yiming sighed with emotion. He hadn't been to town for months and felt very close to her.

Stone Dragon Town was bustling as usual, with streams of people flowing in and out. The two of them walked as they watched, Xiao Yiming already had some things in his hands, which were the items that Luo Mannmann had just bought to decorate the room.

A huge furniture shop appeared in front of them. Looking at the historical plaque, Luo Mannmann became spirited, "Yiming, this is the furniture shop I came to visit the other day. It's not bad. Let's go in and take a look."

"Alright." As soon as the two stepped in, the shopkeeper's hand that was moving the abacus stopped for a moment. At this time, the shopkeeper was entertaining the customers and didn't have anyone else to greet them. Seeing that the two wore ordinary clothes and looked simple, the storekeeper didn't greet them and just let them look around.

Luo Mannmann didn't pay attention to the others. She walked in front of a row of round mahogany tables and chairs with graceful steps. She immediately caught sight of the magnificent set of tables and chairs.

"Yiming, how about this set of tables and chairs? It would be great to leave it in the living room. "

Xiao Yiming knocked on the wood. The carving and workmanship of this set of tables and chairs was very fine. The surface was smooth without any scratches. The color was bright and not bad.

"Wifey, this is not bad. How about we use this?"

"Shopkeeper, how much is this?" Luo Mannmann casually asked as she pointed at the mahogany table and chairs.
