"It's okay, there's no need to discuss, I can still do this, you can take it with confidence, it's almost the New Year, I have to let you have a little more money at hand." ”

"I'm single, it doesn't matter if I'm generous or not, your grandparents have almost prepared the things to be used for the New Year. Hu Jianqiang said.

"Hehe, third uncle, so you have to hurry up and find a third aunt. Hu Mingchen laughed teasingly.

"If you don't come, do you still need to worry about it? Hurry up, don't affect my work. Hu Jianqiang scolded Hu Mingchen, and when he saw that someone came to buy tickets, he pushed Hu Mingchen out of the small pavilion.

Hu Mingchen left with a smile and walked towards the movie theater.

I opened the curtain and went in first, and saw my father Hu Jianjun watching a movie intently.

"Ticket. Stimulated by the light, Hu Jianjun thought that someone had bought a ticket to come in to watch the movie, and stretched out his hand to Hu Mingchen without looking back.

"What ticket?" said Hu Mingchen in a daze.

Hearing the voice, Hu Jianjun turned his head, and when he saw Hu Mingchen, his hand naturally put down, and an embarrassed smile appeared on his face.

"Dad, you're fascinated, aren't you?"

"Hehe, there's no one now, I'll take a look. Hu Jianjun smiled awkwardly.

"It's okay to see, but don't get carried away. Immediately, Hu Mingchen told Hu Jianjun that he had decided to give the third uncle a bonus of 1,000 yuan.

Hu Jianjun was silent for only three seconds before agreeing.

Although 1,000 yuan is a lot, it is for his own brother, and during this time, Hu Jianqiang also did his best for the movie theater, sleeping in the movie theater almost every day, on the contrary, Hu Jianjun was much easier. In addition, speaking of which, whether it was Jiang before or now opening a movie theater, it was all led by Hu Mingchen, and the capital was also made up by him, if he decided like that, of course Hu Jianjun would not refute him.

"Dad, seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, do you want to put it here, and quickly hit the roof of the house. You keep saying that you can't live in your eldest brother's house for the New Year, but if you delay it any longer, you really have to spend the New Year at someone else's house. After negotiating the bonus of 1,000 yuan, Hu Mingchen turned the conversation to the unfinished house in his family.

"I know, I'm going to find someone to help fight, the cement sand and gravel have been bought, and it will be almost ready in two days. Hu Jianjun stood up and nodded.

"Don't you go on it yourself?" Listening to Hu Jianjun's meaning, he wants to be the shopkeeper, so Hu Mingchen asked.

"Don't you want someone to help here, your third uncle can't be busy alone, you can't collect tickets if you sell tickets, you can't sell tickets if you collect tickets, what if I don't help." Hu Jianjun explained: "As for the roof, as long as you talk to them, there will be no problems, and it's not the first time that people have built a roof." ”

"Then you can't throw it all to others, only you know those in our family, if everyone watches, what if something goes wrong? Spend so much money, if the roof is uneven, or leaking, wouldn't it be a waste of all your efforts? I can collect the tickets here and tomorrow on vacation, and if it doesn't work, my mother can also collect them, and we can't help at all. "Hu Jianjun's reasoning is simply untenable here for Hu Mingchen.

In Hu Mingchen's view, Hu Jianjun's main purpose is not to help at all, but to watch movies openly.

During this time, Hu Jianjun was a little obsessed with watching movies, and sometimes in order not to miss the plot, he could not even eat lunch.

"Look at what you said, if the cement roof is leaking, what are those people messing with...... Gotta have it, don't look at me like that, I'll stare at them, it's all right?" Hu Jianjun was halfway through his words, and when he saw Hu Mingchen's face sinking, he hurriedly changed the topic.

Of course, Hu Jianjun can't be afraid of Hu Mingchen, and it hasn't reached the point where Lao Tzu is afraid of his son, but as Hu Mingchen gradually grasps the economic power of the family, his right to speak is naturally different. What's more, what Hu Mingchen said is not unreasonable, on the contrary, Hu Jianjun is still a little weak in this matter, he is indeed addicted to watching movies these days.

"When the house is repaired and our Huangni Village is electrified, our family will buy a big color TV, and we are buying a DVD, and we will see it as much as we want. Now there are only 20 days before the Chinese New Year, and if you don't hurry up, you won't be able to move in before the year. Hu Mingchen didn't expect his father to care so much about his face, so he softened his attitude and said.

The next day, New Year's Day, there were indeed many more people on the street than usual, even if it was not as good as rushing to the market, but the business of the Duge Cinema was much better.

On this day, Hu Mingchen went to the street early in the morning to sell tickets, and the third uncle Hu Jianqiang went to collect tickets and show movies. Because they don't study, even Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao said that they would come to help, but in fact, there is nothing they can do for them, they just come to play, and by the way, they just take their good classmates and friends to watch movies.

Hu Jianjun and Jiang Yucai stayed at home to assist in building the house.

This time, the house repaired by Hu Mingchen's family is not big, the middle is a hall house, there is a small room behind the hall house, and there are two rooms on both sides of the hall house.

Considering the lack of funds when repairing, there was no kitchen and pigsty, kitchen, pigsty and toilets, and only asbestos tiles were built with stones, but this is much better than before, and the original muddy yard dam is also intended to be made into a concrete floor this time.

Everything seems to be so smooth and beautiful, Hu Mingchen has already thought again, after the roof is ready, he will buy a pig to kill.

In the local area, every year for the New Year, every family has to kill the New Year's pigs, if any family does not kill the pig for the New Year, it will be considered poor, and the life is really not going on. Otherwise, as long as you can barely kill a big pig, you have to get a pig of about 200 catties to kill and eat.

Although Hu Mingchen's family is not the poorest in the local area, but life has not been easy, even so, his family almost every year to kill New Year's pigs, either feed their own pigs, or buy other people's pigs, even if they have no money, they have to get a half-big pig on credit.

On the one hand, killing pigs is to cope with the joy of the Spring Festival, on the other hand, it is also to prepare for the food that can be taken all year round, such as the fat of the pig can be boiled oil, which saves half a year without buying oil, the meat can be kang into bacon, if there is a relative to come to the house as a guest or invite someone to work, there can be a dish that can be handled, and a part of the meat can also be made into fine meat scraps, save some food, and can persist all year round.

Although the house collapsed this year, it cost a lot of money to repair the house, but fortunately, Jiang's business made a lot of money, and the later movie theaters could also earn hundreds of yuan a day, so this New Year pig was going to be killed no matter what.

However, life is like this, when you are in good times, you don't know when there will be an episode of adversity, just like Hu Mingchen's house sold dried ginger during the day, and the house was washed down by the rain at night.

It took a few days for the roof of Hu Mingchen's house to be finally laid, but before he could remove the board, a depressing thing happened, a person who helped his family to make the roof actually fell off the shelf, which brought trouble.

On January 5th, Hu Mingchen finished his final exam and left school to go to the cinema to help out. However, as soon as he walked to the door of the township mansion, he saw his father carrying a person on his back in the direction of the health center, and behind him, he was followed by Hu Mingyi, Jiang Yucai and a woman he didn't know.

Seeing this scene, Hu Mingchen, who was chuckling in his heart, hurriedly greeted him.

"What's going on, what's going on?"

"......" Hu Jianjun gasped and didn't say a word.

"I'll go to the health center first and I'll tell you later. Hu Mingyi, who helped hold the person on Hu Jianjun's back, said eagerly.

No matter how stupid Hu Mingchen was, he knew that something was wrong: "You go first, I'll go to the third uncle's for some money." ”

Hu Mingchen ran to the cinema, took all the proceeds from the sale of tickets for the whole day and returned to the health center, even Hu Jianqiang asked him the reason, Hu Mingchen couldn't explain why.

When Hu Mingchen arrived at the health center, the man had been removed from Hu Jianjun's back and carried to a small single bed in the consultation room, where a doctor and a nurse were examining the man.

Before he could find out why, the health center asked him to pay 500 yuan first, and Hu Mingchen didn't have time to ask, so he went to pay the money first.

"What's going on?" Before the doctors and nurses could get results, Hu Mingchen squatted down and asked Hu Jianjun, who was sweating on the top of his head, sitting on a stool.

"Falling...... He accidentally fell off the shelf and smashed on the rubble. Hu Jianjun said dejectedly.

"Who is that person?" Hu Mingchen then asked.

It was almost dark when Hu Mingchen came home every day, so he didn't see that person.

"Help your house with the roof, the house is ready, who knows that this kind of thing will happen. Hu Mingyi said from the side.

"Your family must be responsible, my man helped your family break the roof and injured himself, your family can't be responsible. At this time, the woman who had come to the health center with her turned around from the door of the clinic and said in an unkind tone.

"Third sister-in-law, where is my family not responsible, someone is injured, didn't my family send me to the hospital immediately? The money was also paid by my family, you said this as if we were going to run away. It stands to reason that your family helped my house to build the house, and it was given money, and if something happens, you have to bear it yourself. Jiang Yucai said unhappily.

This kind of thing is originally unlucky, and this woman still has this kind of tone, Jiang Yucai will naturally be very dissatisfied.

He stepped on the air and fell, and no one harmed him.

"Don't talk about that, the wages haven't been paid yet, anyway, if it falls in your house, your family has to bear it, there's nothing to talk about. The woman held out her hand and said.

When Hu Mingchen's family first repaired the house, there were still many people who came to volunteer to help, but with the opening of his movie theater and the good business, there were fewer people who helped for free.

Others will have a mentality, that is, if your family makes money, then you can't be free anymore and take advantage.

Some people were paid for building the wall, but only Hu Mingyi volunteered to help from beginning to end. hit the cement roof, and even simply spent the wallet to the family, but before the shelf was removed, there was this unfortunate thing.
