Chapter 9: Get someone to help

"After I finished eating, I went to find someone to come back and help. Su Jinnian said.

Lin Xiu was relieved now, and she advised: "Then I will cook at home today, how many people do you want to invite, is one table of dishes enough?"

"Enough. Su Jinnian finished the last bite, wiped his mouth, and went out without delay.

He was afraid that he would be late, Uncle Li would go out to work, and he would not be willing to come until tomorrow.

Su Jinnian was right, he blocked Uncle Li at the door of Li's house, and Uncle Li was about to go out with a hoe on his back.

Su Jinnian will do business, and when he went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to exchange rice, he bought a pack of cigarettes at the counter, and he originally planned to scatter cigarettes when he invited people.

"Uncle Li, are you going out? I want to ask you to help my house turn over the tiles, it rained last night, and there is no way to live in the house, so I am in a hurry to come to you, do you have time?"

"Come on, smoke a cigarette first. Su Jinnian handed over a cigarette, the countrymen smoke leaf cigarettes, and grow their own tobacco leaves, which is not worth a few dollars, this paper cigarette is really rare.

Uncle Li refused to do so, and Su Jinnian asked him to accept it.

"Then you're welcome. Uncle Li took the lighter with a smile, lit a cigarette and took a puff: "This paper cigarette is good, it is more fragrant than this leaf smoke." ”

Su Jinnian didn't smoke, snorted, and said: "If you are free now, you can finish it in a whole day, and I will ask five more people to come back, and it will not delay your work." ”

"Why don't you call your third brother? He's a mason, and I've heard that there are factories in the city that want him to help." Uncle Li asked casually, took a comfortable puff of his cigarette, and spit out a cloud-like white mist.

Su Jinnian said: "The third brother sent the eldest brother's Tianbao to the county to see a doctor, I don't have time, Uncle Li, your skills are also very good, I can rest assured if I look for you, wait for two days for your family to harvest wheat, I will help." ”

In the countryside at this time, no one will mention the matter of collecting money, you help me, I will help you, Uncle Li and a few people helped him turn over the tiles, and in the future, Uncle Li and their family have something to do, and he can't refuse to find him, this is human favor.

Relationships come out like this, and generally everyone is happy to help.

Uncle Li nodded understandingly: "Okay, then I'll go home and put the hoe first, and take a ruler to your house myself, you still have to find someone else, go quickly, I won't delay you." ”

Su Jinnian nodded, thanked him, left the Li family, and went to find people with good relationships one by one.

Uncle Li turned around and went back to the courtyard.

Aunt Li saw him coming back with a hoe, and was a little curious: "Old Li, why are you back again?"

"Today I won't go to the field, I'm going to help Su Lao'er's family turn over the tiles. Uncle Li sat under the eaves and changed his shoes, got up and went back to the house to get a ruler.

"Turning over the tiles? Su Laoer's house is leaking rain again? There are no new tiles this time, so it's useless to turn them over, right?" Aunt Li asked casually.

"Su Lao Er said that there is a new tile, anyway, other people's affairs, call me and I'll go, don't wait for me to eat at noon, their family takes care of the meal. Uncle Li took the ruler and wore a straw hat and walked out.

Aunt Li hurriedly chased after her and asked curiously: "Is Su Lao Er coming to you in person?" Where did you buy the tiles, you go and inquire, and our family will buy some too." ”

"Do you have the money?" Uncle Li glanced at her, didn't pay attention to it at all, and walked straight out.

Aunt Li muttered unconvinced: "Su Lao Er has the money to buy new tiles, why can't our family afford them?" I don't care, you go and inquire, if there are really many new tiles, buy some back, the stove house has been leaking a little in the past two days, if you don't buy it back, don't eat." ”
