Chapter 14: The Thief Who Stole the Coffin
At the urging of Li Daoyun, Li Qing dragged the coffin with a board cart to Zhang Duba's house.
Seeing this scene, Li Xian was also helpless. Li Qing's daughter-in-law is really good at making trouble. However, he doesn't have much energy to care about these messy things, and the homestead is good, and the remaining questions about how to build the house are worth studying.
According to Li You's meaning, it is to think that two houses can accommodate a family of seven. But Li Xian was not impressed by this proposal.
There is no shortage of money now, so why deal with it?
According to his idea, Li You and Zou Ni have to live in one room, and Mr. Li Daoyun lives in one room. Although Li Lingling looks young now, judging from the normal historical trajectory, this is to stay at home until she is in her twenties and get married. A big girl is always not good to huddle with her grandparents. As for Li Jie, it is easy to deal with, anyway, it seems that it won't take long to get out of the cabinet, and she will live with Li Lingling for the time being. I and Li Pi don't pay much attention to it, just squeeze a house.
In this case, four rooms are also needed.
Li Qing's original room was for the old man to live alone, so he had to build three more rooms.
However, in the face of Li Xian's ambition, Li You calculated the detailed account: "If you build three rooms, buy bricks, cement, sand and other materials, and pay more than 2,000 yuan, and the labor cost will be more than 3,000, and according to the rules, the house will have to be eaten and drunk by everyone at noon and night, and the cost of this meal and wine will be three or four hundred, right? Counting the bits and pieces such as freight, your six thousand yuan is enough?"
Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Zou Ni on the side also helped: "Second, listen to your father, if you can deal with it, you can deal with it." Why don't you have some money left?"
What can Li Xian do?
Of course not!
During this period of time, because of Wang Feng's matter, there were a lot of rumors in the forest farm. Although there are those who are not used to Wang Feng's style, it is inevitable that there are also those who chew their tongues behind their backs, saying that Lao Li's family can't support their daughter-in-law.
After all, isn't it because of poverty?
Now that he can make money, this house, he still has to repair the scenery.
No money?
If you don't have any money, you can earn it again!
Li Xian immediately patted his chest, "Mom and Dad, just take care of the three!
If this sentence had been placed a month ago, Li You would have kicked it over. But now, thinking that his son earned his salary for four or five years in more than ten days, he is really not sure.
"So, three rooms?" he asked.
It seems to be seeking Li Xian's opinion, and it seems to be cheering himself up in his heart.
"Just three!" Li Xian said firmly: "It's not just three brick houses. It has to be three of the most magnificent brick houses in the whole forest farm, the yard has to be made of cement slabs, and the walls have to be shaped!"
Obediently,
Zou Ni listened to her son's great idea, and her heart was excited.
What kind of house does that have to be? Even if it's a forest farm factory, it may be more magnificent than this!
……
In the afternoon, Li Xian found someone to calculate it again. If you follow your own ideas, then the cost of these three houses is high, and you can't stop if you don't have three thousand five dollars.
If you count the labor, then there is no seven or eight thousand without thinking about it. Building a house at this time is the least cost-effective, although it doesn't seem to be much now, but after another month, the soybeans in the field will have to be cleaned up. At that time, labor was very valuable.
Li Xian didn't think much about it, even if the labor was worse, it would be two hundred or three hundred, and it would not affect the general direction.
If people want to be rich, there are two ways: open source and reduce expenditure.
Now that his own life is no longer saved, even Li Pi's clothes are picked up by Li Xian and Li Qing. So it has to be open source.
Looking at Li Pi, who was pouting and busy in the yard, Li Xian couldn't cry or laugh.
"Rigou, the dream of the previous life is to be a rich second generation who only gnaws at the old and doesn't work, but after living in his twenties, he has to work for your welfare in advance. What is this?"
"Second brother, what are you talking about?" Hearing Li Xian's muttering, Li Pi turned around.
"It's nothing, do your job!" Li Xian waved his hand and responded.
At this time, Li Daoyun and Li Qing came back, looking at the old lady with a beautiful face and Li Qing with a relieved face, Li Xian hurriedly walked over.
"Master, has the coffin been repaired?"
"That's not it!" Li Daoyun stretched out his hand and pointed, "The little mute is really not a little dumb craft!"
Li Xian looked at it and couldn't help but admire: "My good girl!"
I saw that the place that was originally smashed out of the pit by the big axe no longer knows how to smooth it out. The paint finish on it has also been restored to a smooth finish. I think it is inevitable that there will be color difference after repairing the paint, and the dumb man actually painted a crane with wings in the place where the paint was originally repaired!
This stroke of genius not only hid the chisel mark without a trace, but also made the whole coffin have a fairy spirit.
Li Xian couldn't help but stretch out his thumb: "Amazing!"
But at this moment, he remembered the mourning hall in the Forestry Bureau's dry rest house yesterday for no reason.
The coffin in the mourning hall is not an exaggeration to say that it is shabby compared to this. Thinking that it was a retired senior cadre of the Forestry Bureau lying inside, a string in Li Xian's mind trembled.
"Tsk," Li Xian held his chin with his hand, walked around the coffin twice, and asked Li Daoyou: "Master, how much did you pay for this coffin?"
Li Daoyou stroked his goatee and stretched out a finger: "One hundred!"
Li Xian's eyes were even brighter.
After dinner, Li Xian took advantage of the effort to walk the bend and went to Gao Ming with Li Jie. After returning home, he found Li Pi.
When he said what he thought, Li Pi was so frightened that he almost peed his pants.
"Second brother, are you crazy! If you really do that, you can't fight with you with a crutch?"
Li Xian smiled: "Tsk, what did you say." I'm just borrowing it."
"No, no, no, no," Li Pi twisted his head and resolutely refused.
Just kidding, what is Li Daoyun's nickname?
That coffin is like his life, who dares to move?
Seeing that Li Pi couldn't make sense, Li Xian used his own trick: "Fourth, you can think about it." This time it's a big matter of whether our family lives in a pigsty or the palace. If you want to squeeze in a room with your master every night during the holidays, then don't listen to me. ”
Li Pi hesitated at this moment.
It was really related to his quality of life, and he was moved.
"Second brother, is this really okay?"
Li Xian snorted: "I can't guarantee whether it will work or not, but the operability is still very great." Don't talk so much nonsense, just say if you're not with me, right?"
Li Xian hesitated for a while, and finally made up his mind: "I believe you, second brother!"
……
The next day, early in the morning.
Li Daoyou got up early in the morning and washed his face, and didn't eat breakfast, so he went to the back of the room to pick up the coffin. In the last few days, he talked about being too dry, for fear that the coffin would crack, and he had to cover it with plastic sheeting.
However, when he came to the room where the coffin was placed yesterday, he was not well.
The old man shook off his crutches and walked to the place where the coffin was placed. But there, there is only an empty plastic sheet, where is there any shadow of a coffin?
"Holy shit!Which king stole my coffin!?"
"Enough, enough!"
With his roar, the big rooster in the neighbor's yard let out a cry at the rising sun.
