Chapter 30: 30th
The boy had never thought that Li Jin could sum up and sublimate the meaning of his words so straightforwardly.
But he doesn't have so many crooked minds, he definitely doesn't say two things.
So Qin Muwen nodded in front of Li Jin, "Yes."
I care about you.
Li Jin put down the pumpkin and felt the strange thought he had suppressed before rise again.
But Li Jin has been single for twenty-nine years, and he really doesn't know what it is.
Before facing other people's confession, he could calmly refuse, and there was no fluctuation in his heart.
But when faced with a teenager, he would involuntarily want to see this person smile and want to talk to the teenager more.
I even want to hear the boy say: "I care about you."

Finally, the pumpkin buns are made by two people together. Li Jin washes the pumpkin, peels and dices, and mixes the filling with soy sauce, salt and sesame oil.
The teenager is responsible for mixing and kneading the dough, and finally wraps up a small bun with eight folds.
Li Jin had made buns and dumplings before. After all, he was studying abroad at that time. During the Chinese New Year, a bunch of Chinese would gather together to make dumplings and steam buns.
But he has to admit that his technology just keeps the buns from falling apart.
How can you be like a teenager, holding a bun with one hand, pinching the edge in the other, turning a few times, and a small bun is ready.
There are no more or less on each bun, exactly eight folds.
Li Jin also dipped some flour and wrapped it up like him.
Unfortunately, making buns is a technical job.
You can't learn by just looking at it.
Li Jin made the first steamed bun and was placed on the chopping board by the teenager, right on the tail of the series of steamed buns that looked like works of art.
Li Jin thought for a while: "The last bun looks crooked, it must not be a good bun."
It was the first time that the boy saw that Li Jin could not do something, the dimples on the corners of his lips were shallow, and his eyes were deeply smiling.
Li Jin wanted to practice one more time, when someone outside the door raised his voice and shouted: "Li Jin, let's find someone to build a house for you!"
Li Jin went out and cleaned his hands, opened the door, and saw two familiar faces standing outside the door.
They were all seen frequently when he was farming.
Li Jin greeted people to come in: "Brother Erniu, Brother Dazhuang, please come in."
Li Erniu and Li Daniu had a relationship with Li Daniu's family. The two were similar in age, and they simply took the same name.
It was also the last time that Li Erniu's children brought their friends to Li Jin's house for meat.
This person is embarrassed and wants to help Li Jin do something.
Anyway, now that the busy farming is over, he hasn't done anything to do it. It can be considered to consolidate the relationship between the neighbors if he can help.
Li Erniu said: "We said it was good for the second day in the second half of the year, but my family's farm work was done yesterday. Today, I brought Da Zhuang to ask you, in addition to building a house, what else needs to be supplemented?"
Li Jin is also not welcome. After all, the roof is not repaired now, and it is his family who will suffer from the rain leak in the future.
He said: "My bedroom and the kitchen roof are ventilated, and fortunately it hasn't rained recently, otherwise my house would have been damaged."
Li Dazhuang is also an upright temper. He smiled and said: "Last year Li Zhuzi saw that your house was leaking rain and made the bed damp. He asked me to make up the roof for you.
At that time, you refused to let me help you life and death.
I thought, how can the actual benefits of face come true? If Er Niu didn't call me this time, I might not come. "
Li Jin knows the habit of talking in the village, that is, when you praise you, you must be degraded first, so as to play the role of suppressing first.
The meaning of Li Dazhuang's words is that Kua Lijin is now immortal and suffers a lot of face.
Li Jin said: "At that time I was young and ignorant, but now I finally know that I was wrong."
Li Dazhuang saw that Li Jin was indeed as the rumors, like a pillar of the family.
He didn't say much, he supported the ladder on his hand and climbed up in a few strokes.
Li Erniu asked: "How about the roof?"
When Li Dazhuang came down, he frowned and said, "Some small holes can be filled, but even if the big holes are filled with straw, water will leak like heavy rain."
Li Jin also knew about this situation, and he asked, "Is there any other way I can live with peace of mind after the roof is patched up?"
Li Erniu said: "Could it be that Li Jin you want to replace all tiles with tiles?"
Li Jin asked about the price of the tiles again, and then said with a wry smile: "I don't have that much money to replace the tiles, I just want to replace the bad places with straws.
In this way, even if the rainy season comes this year, the house will not leak rain. "
Finally, Li Dazhuang went to inspect the roof of the kitchen and estimated how much materials were needed.
"We pick the soil for the house by ourselves in the mountains. In a while, each of us picks two frames. The wheat stalks in my place won't be used. We can make up the roof together."
Li Jin responded immediately.
Li Erniu said: "As for the tiles, you can buy a basket in the town. It's best to order two carts of burnt mud. When the goods arrive tomorrow, we can start building a house for you."
Li Jin is a complete layman for architecture, so he listened to the arrangement of the villagers and went to the mountains to pick up soil.
Although he had recently practiced this body, he was still so tired that he had his eyes widened and blue veins burst on his forehead.
Li Erniu and Li Dazhuang hurriedly made each frame so full for him to even out.
The two of them were originally full of soil in their baskets. Now that the Li Jin's is evened out, the soil is piled up into small hills.
Li Jin knew that this was not the time to be strong, so he quickly thanked them.
"Li Jin, you can already do this. When you were your age, neither of us could pick two full boxes of soil."
auzw.com Li Jin picked up the shoulder pole again, and was almost speechless when he was tired.
He walked forward with all his heart, and naturally did not see the shock and appreciation in the eyes of Li Erniu and Li Dazhuang.
"Although we picked the soil like Li Jin when we were 18, we are different from Li Jin. We have been doing farm work since we were young.
Li Jin was really spoiled by Aunt Li, and now Aunt Li is gone, Li Jin is like growing up overnight. "
Li Dazhuang not only agreed with Li Erniu's words, but also added: "Li Jin is still studying, and if he wants to be admitted as a talent in the future, our village will have to be touched.
He has three things to do with studying, farming, and raising a family. To be honest, Li Dazhuang persuades him! "
Li Jin picked up so much soil. At first, his legs were swinging. Later, he got used to walking too much.
But I really didn't have the energy to listen to the conversation between the two people behind.
He came out to pick the soil and wore coarse linen clothes, but he didn't expect that the soil was so dense and thick, and he really felt that his shoulder was about to be worn again.
When the three of them entered Li Jin's house and placed the bamboo baskets against the wall, Li Jin stood up straight and let out a sigh of relief.
The boy installed the hot buns that had just been baked, set up a wooden board in the yard, and placed the buns on top.
He filled the three of them with warm water and put them on the bench: "Everyone, take a break."
Because of their admiration for Li Jin, both Li Dazhuang and their attitude towards teenagers became much better.
"Sister...sister-in-law are really virtuous."
"Yeah yeah."
The tone of the two was dry. After all, although their village is not rich, the village chief has planned well. Every household has land and houses to live in, and most of the men take care of their families.
The people in the village are also willing to marry their daughters over, which leads to not many brothers in the village.
After all, the food chain of this era is arranged according to men, women, and brothers.
Except for Li Jin, no one in the village would marry a brother to be the principal.
The two of them didn't dislike Qin Muwen, but they had never boasted about a brother so much, so they were a little strange.
The two thought that the matter would be over at this point, but they didn't expect Li Jin to walk to Qin Muwen's side before resting.
"Did not go to rest today?"
Li Erniu and Li Dazhuang: "???" Wake up brother, which husband can be so expensive?
Li Jin sent the boy back, and then apologized to the two of them: "My husband is indeed virtuous, so I pay more attention to his body. It made the two laugh."
The two: "..." Not laughing, but shocked!
After the three of them ate and rested, Li Dazhuang went to shovel the wheat straw, soil and water together.
The soil in the mountains is inherently sticky, but after adding wheat stalks, it will become tougher.
Taking advantage of the afternoon, they repaired the small holes in the roof for Li Jin, and when Li Jin came back with the tiles, he could completely repair the roof.
In the end, Li Jin gave each person ten pens of wages.
Working in the town for a day, regardless of food, the salary is between 25 and 30 wen.
Li Jin only worked all afternoon and took care of buns, so he paid Shiwen's wages.
Originally the two were unwilling to accept it, but Li Jin said that he would feel sorry for not accepting it.
The two finally accepted the copper plate.
After doing all this, Li Jin carried a catty of spare ribs to Li Zhuzi's house. He wanted to borrow Li Zhuzi's ox cart tomorrow.
Li Jin didn't think he could walk back from the town with a basket of tiles on his back.
The density of the tiles is greater than that of the soil. After all, they were fired, and the materials inside were compacted.
Upon hearing this, Li Daniu said that there was no problem at all.
"It just so happens that I am going to deliver firewood tomorrow. I will wait for you in the main street and go to Wayao together."
Li Jin still doesn't know the way to Wayao. Although it is next to the town, it is really convenient to have Li Zhuzi.
Then he went to water the vegetable plot, came back to practice calligraphy, took a bath, push-ups, and waited for it to go to bed late again.
In the past, teenagers would fall asleep while watching Li Jin practicing calligraphy.
Today, he took out the needle and thread and sewed two wide and thick cloth strips with light.
When Li Jin finished writing, the boy had sewn it, and quietly put the things back in the frame, pretending that he did nothing just now.
Li Jin had no doubts, and came back to sleep after taking a shower.
When he picked up the basket the next day, he discovered that a new shoulder strap was sewn under the two hemp ropes that strangled the shoulders. With the generous shoulder straps, this back basket is not so boring.
Li Jin guessed that the boy should have added the shoulder straps to his back basket when he took a bath.
Li Jin held the shoulder strap and looked at the boy's innocent face, pretending that he didn't know anything in his eyes.
Suddenly stepped forward a few steps and dropped a kiss on his forehead.
Like a kiss like a brother bid farewell, Li Jin said--
"I'm leaving. I'll buy tiles and burned clay today. I'll be back later."
The young man was dumbfounded, and didn't come back to his senses until Li Jin walked away. He wanted to catch up to see Li Jinyuan's back.
But the little bun started to cry in the house at the right time, and Qin Muwen could only go back and hold the bun to nurse.
Finally, the steamed bun fell asleep after eating and drinking, and Qin Muwen still maintained this posture blankly.
The dimples on the corners of the lips are always sweet.
Well, it's as sweet as he secretly ate the ugliest pumpkin buns when Li Jin and the others did not come back yesterday.
