Lian Fangzhou regrets 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 asked this question, she smiled slightly, and said with some embarrassment: "Actually It’s just some symbols that I use casually."
"Oh..." Shi Lao Cai didn't know whether he believed it or not, so he couldn't help but ask again: "How can even the girl figure it out so quickly?"
Lian Fangzhou "pushed" a smile and said, "Mental arithmetic!"
There are no wonders in the great world, and some people are born with mental arithmetic. This is not impossible. Shi Lao Cai smiled 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 and humbled, and said: "This number is clear, we should go back too!"
"Haha, wait, wait!" Shi Laocai readily agreed, and waved two workers to him, and ordered the tiles they needed to be spotted and helped to install the car.
A big 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 Lao Cai smiled straight and said "should", boasting that she knows how to etiquette.
Because there was also a need for someone to help unload the truck at home, Lian Fangzhou and Lian Ze went back with the bullock cart. Naturally, the two sisters and brothers were 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, and even Fangzhou and Lian Ze insisted on not agreeing.
Li Damu was overwhelmed. He wanted to ask them to get in the car, but he refused to say anything to Fangzhou: "I will trouble Uncle Li all day today, and this cow is also expensive. If you are tired, don’t say yes. You, we will also feel distressed, let's save it!"
Li Damu suddenly couldn't say anything. He sighed and laughed: "Finally, Fangzhou, you are becoming more and more able to talk. You can talk differently! I can't talk about you, and I will accompany you. Let you go together!"
Speaking and 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 ox cart walked slowly, and it was necessary to load and unload the carts, and kept 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, your 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, it was another full day of work before the roof was completely repaired.
"The thick linen paper used for pasting 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 said.
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 with relief, and couldn't help but say, "This is great, and I won't be afraid of heavy rain anymore! Winter too! Don't be afraid!"
Lian Fangzhou smiled and said: "Yes! When the windows are finished, I will buy two quilts and pull some thick fabrics to keep them for winter clothes. There is no need to worry about the winter-don’t worry, it’s only the end of September. ! There is still time!"
"Well," Lian Ze smiled and nodded: "I listen to my sister! Just, 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 was speechless 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, and said: "I asked my sister what a quilt is, I have never heard of it! Isn't it... a very expensive thing?"
Comforters? 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, so--
"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, right?"
Lian Fangzhou's mind was messed up, ignoring the doubts in his words, and hurriedly asked: "Are other people's quilts filled with these things?"
"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 a sense of emptiness in his heart, that is, the feeling that familiar things were being taken out of time.
She couldn't help but blurt out: "Is that kind of quilt covered with warmth? Can winter go through..."
"Punch!" Lian Ze couldn't help laughing at once, 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 confused! See what I said!"
Let's do the same in the countryside, she said to herself secretly in her heart.
"We have been exhausted 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 is also tired, he seems to be reluctant 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. When you are growing up, you can't overwork. If it hurts the root cause, what is left behind will be ruined in your life. I can't work anymore!"
Lian Ze nodded when she heard her words seriously, not like fooling herself.
For the past two days, Lian Fangzhou and the others have been busy buying new tiles and repairing the roof. Qiao knows it, and is full of jealousy and irritated. People with shallow eyelids! With two money in their hands, they are so fanciful, as if no one has it! Humph, if you are refunded, you have to take out the money, and you are not afraid to be embarrassed! It’s beautiful when you go out!"
Lian Li listened to her murmurs over and over again, and was a little upset with these words, so he hummed: "What's the use to say these now? You are useless, even a girl can't deal with it! I'm so embarrassed to talk here!"
Qiao knew that he was talking about his failure to get the money back from his relatives. He was both annoyed, regretful and painful, and he cried out with anger, "You can only say me! You are so capable, why don't you? Go!"
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?"
Qiao's disapproval, humming: "What are you afraid of! Close the door, who knows what's going on? How dare those little radish heads yell out? Even if they yell, what about the kids? Who will believe it again!"
The more he thought about it, the more he regretted it, and he whispered: "After all, you dare not..."
She exclaimed again: "Twelve taels! It's worth more than half a year's expenses. What if someone says a few words? No, it can't be too cheap for them! I have to go and see!"
Qiao 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 refurbished! Tsk tsk, it's amazing!"
