Looking at the copperplate she earned, Li Mo is in a good mood. She feels that her beauty career is gradually starting, and the family will gradually get better. She is no longer so helpless.

What Li Mo didn't expect was that her good mood was broken that night.

This is a thunderstorm night, a thunderclap of thunder reverberated in the sky, when the sleeping people were awakened, the pouring rain has been scattered.

When Li Mo and song Dashan were awakened, their quilts were already wet, and raindrops fell on their faces. The big raindrops leaked through the sparse thatched roof, straight into the house, and the bed was not spared.

Song Dashan quickly jumps out of bed, puts on his clothes, shakes Xiao Bao who is still sleeping, hugs him out of bed, finds a place in the corner where there is no leakage of rain, and puts him on. Then he quickly hugs Li Mo who is still wearing clothes from the bed and puts him in the corner. Then he quickly goes back to tear off the quilt and sheet and put them in a dry place.

When song Dashan took shelter in the corner, he was soaked through.

Xiaobao's body is not very wet. Just in case, Li Mo goes to the cupboard to find a dry dress to help Xiaobao change, so as not to catch cold. Then he urges song Dashan to change a dry dress.

Song Dashan went to the hall to change his dry clothes.

The main room is not as good as it is. It leaks badly. There is water on the ground.

Looking at the leaking roof, song Dashan sighed deeply.

He didn't have a place to live when he came back, and he didn't have much money on him. It happened that this room was going to be sold because it was old and cheap. It was just suitable for song Dashan. So he didn't think much and bought it. It hasn't rained since he bought it, so he didn't know that the roof was rotten like this.

Now we must repair the house first. It's the rainy season. If we don't repair it, the house may not be able to live.

Li Mo also thought of this matter and asked, "brother Dashan, how much does it cost to repair this house?"

Song Dashan estimates in his heart that if he only needs to repair the roof, he can chop some bamboo and get some straw and mud. If he is a man, he can ask his fellow villagers to help him. He only needs to pack a lunch at noon, which costs no more than 300 Wen.

Li Mo is relieved to hear that she has only one or two pieces of silver left over from her last job as a jade. If it costs a lot of money to repair the house, she may not even have enough money to eat. How can she live next.

Song Dashan looked at Li Mo and comforted him, "don't worry. Tomorrow I'll go to changbang and some people in the same village who have a better relationship to help me. Hurry up and it can be repaired in one day."

Li Mo nods and boils tonight.

However, at this time, the ear suddenly sounded "boom", like the sound of something collapsed.

Song Dashan's heart clattered. He took a look at Li Mo and ran out of the room immediately. When he went out, he saw that the kitchen had collapsed.

Li Mo also ran out with Xiao Bao in her arms. When she saw the collapsed kitchen, her heart sank.

Ignoring the kitchen, song Dashan immediately found a broken sack in the corner to cover Li Mo and Xiao Bao's head and took them out of the house. "Li Mo, you take Xiao Bao to Aunt Zhao's house immediately. Don't stay at home now." Then he himself entered the room and asked Li Mo, "what do you want to take with you?"

Li Mo had no time to pull him. Seeing that he had entered the room, he immediately called out: "brother Dashan, come out quickly, don't take anything."

Song Dashan did not come out immediately, but came out after a while, with a big burden in his hand.

"Come on, let's go to Aunt Zhao's house for a shelter tonight."

Li Mo three people to Aunt Zhao's house knocked on the door, someone immediately came out to open the door, see song Dashan a three look, open the door Zhao changbang surprised, quickly pull them in, "what's the matter with you? Come on in

Song Dashan and his wife entered the hall of the Zhao family, and the Zhao family got up. There were candles in the hall, and the light was a little weak. When the family saw Li Mo and his wife, they were all worried. Aunt Zhao immediately arranged for their two daughters-in-law to cook some ginger soup for them.

Then let Li Mo take Xiao Bao to Qin Hua's room to change clothes. Don't catch cold.

Also let song Dashan go to Zhao changbang to find a dress to change.

Seeing that Li Mo and Xiao Bao had gone to change clothes, song Dashan told the Zhao family about this evening. "Uncle, aunt, the rain is leaking badly in the house, and the kitchen has collapsed. I really dare not let Li Mo and Xiao Bao stay at home any more, so I may have to give you trouble again. I'll lend my three family a few days."

Hearing song Dashan's words, zhao shu waved his hand, "whatever you say, just stay here and go back after the house is repaired. That house doesn't dare to live any more."

Aunt Zhao also complained at the same time, "that he Laosan's house is too old and broken. I didn't expect that he couldn't hold on to any heavy rain. Alas, fortunately, no one was hurt."

Zhao changbang finds a dry dress to change for song Dashan, and Li Mo and Xiao Bao come out with dry clothes. The two families sit in the main room and discuss how to repair the house tomorrow.

Zhao changbang: "if the rain stops tomorrow, I'll take some strong workers from the village to chop some bamboo, pick up some mud, get some grass, and repair the roof for you. That's the kitchen. There's no way to repair it."Song Dashan nodded, "it was just to repair the roof. Who ever thought that the kitchen suddenly collapsed, and the cupboard, stove and pot in it were all destroyed.

As soon as they heard this, they realized that it would be a big expense. Originally, it would not cost much to repair the roof, but it would cost a lot to build a new kitchen and repair the stove.

Uncle Zhao looked at Song Dashan, "Dashan, this is a lot of silver. Do you have enough money on you? If it's not enough, I'll tell Uncle. Uncle, I'll lend you first. "

Song Dashan's eyes were a little red and nodded, "uncle, I'm not polite to you. I don't have enough money. I really need to borrow it from you. Don't worry, uncle. I'll pay you back as soon as possible."

Uncle Zhao waved his hand, "you've grown up with us. Uncle still doesn't believe you. Don't say more polite words. Let's go through the difficulties first."

Song Dashan nodded heavily.

Li Mo looked at it and was also grateful. He thought that he would have to thank uncle Zhao and his family for going through this difficult time.

That night, aunt Zhao arranged for Li Mo and Xiao Bao to sleep with Qin Hua, two daughter-in-law to sleep in the same room, and two sons to sleep in the same room with song Dashan.

This night, Li Mo didn't sleep much, thinking about the collapsed house, deep.

The next morning, Li Mo wakes up. Qin Hua and Xiao Bao are still sleeping. Li Mo quietly gets up and opens the door to go out.

I didn't expect that everyone else got up and was busy doing things, but I didn't see song Dashan.

Seeing Li Mo come out, Yang Lanhua takes Li Mo to the back yard to wash.

"It's fine now. Today we can go to repair your house. Not early in the morning, Dashan brothers and their second brother went to the town to buy rammed earth and ask someone to build a house." Yanglan flower path.

Li Mo Ming: Although there are bricks in this era, the price is very expensive. Where ordinary people can buy Bricks, they use rammed earth as bricks to build houses. This rammed earth is not easy to make. Besides technology, it also requires a lot of manpower. Therefore, few ordinary people will make rammed earth by themselves. There are special workshops in the town to build houses and buy rammed earth Cover.

Li Mo thought of asking for help again, and asked: "that sister-in-law, do you want to prepare meals for those who come to help at noon?"

"Of course, no one in the village will ask for money for help. It's all a meal. When it's ready, we'll invite the helpers to have a meal." Yang Lanhua added, "don't worry. I thought about it in the morning. I've asked Dashan to bring some meat back from the town. I have some dishes at home. This meal will do."

Li Mo did not expect orchid sister-in-law has been arranged, heart moved, "sister-in-law, I do not know how to thank you."

Yang Lanhua didn't care, "say thank you. We didn't thank you so much when you sent us perfume."

Li Mo smiles, nods and no longer says thanks, but keeps it in mind.

………………………………

Before noon, song Dashan came back with rammed earth and people, gave the vegetables to Li Mo, and took people to repair the house.

Li Mo asks Xiaobao to play with Zhao's children, and she goes into the kitchen to prepare lunch. Fortunately, Yang Lanhua and Li Xiaofeng are busy together. The two sisters in law are really good at cooking. The food is basically fried by them, which makes Li Mo feel relieved. Otherwise, with her skill, the workers may not be satisfied.

At noon, I made a fried eggplant with meat, a scrambled egg with tomato, and a roast pork with potato. The weight was enough and there was a lot of meat. The staple food was steamed a large pot of steamed bread, and each person had two large steamed bread at noon. This kind of food is already very good.

Just before the meal was ready, song Dashan's mother and Wang Cuihua came in, followed by a woman Li Mo had never seen.

Yang Lanhua and Li Xiaofeng saw the arrival of people on the face, mouth is not polite, "what are you doing?"

Song's mother grinned and rubbed her hands. She was rather embarrassed to reply, "I heard that Dashan asked someone to repair the house. Let's help."

Wang Cuihua also stepped forward, while looking at the fried dishes in the pot, said: "Dashan family is so big, how can we not come to help? My big column and my third brother have gone to help. We want to be busy with cooking, so we come to help you."

This sounds good, but Yang Lanhua knows who Wang Cuihua's family is. If it's not good to talk about song's mother directly, she says mercilessly to Wang Cuihua, "are you coming to help now? If you don't help me when the food is not ready, you will come as soon as it is ready! How funny you are

One side of the song's mother smell speech, blush, bow, do not know what to say.
