Chapter 70: Upper Beam (1)

Wang Xiang is right, the girl who opens a shop on the street and does business is not stage frightened.

Zhang Kexiang generously drank two glasses of wine with the craftsmen, and then got off the table and returned to the kitchen to talk to Zhenhua's mother.

Cui Hong took Zhang Kexiang's hand and said with a smile: "Girl, you can give Zhenhua a long face today." We country girls, like you, can't find a few. ”

"Wasn't I forced by Qi Lei?" Zhang Kexiang smiled.

Cuihong opened the pot to serve the rice, and let Zhang Kexiang eat first.

Zhang Kexiang also ate half a bowl of rice, then put down the rice bowl and was busy serving rice and pouring tea for the craftsmen.

After the meal, the craftsmen are all in front of the sun, smoking and drinking tea, and taking a simple rest.

Zhao Chenghai accompanied the craftsmen, spoke in front, understood the progress of the project, and budgeted for the days of erecting beams.

Cui Hong pulled her son aside, took out a brand-new red handkerchief, which was covered with eighty-eight and a half yuan in cash, and said with a smile: "Mom has prepared the meeting money, you hurry up and send it to Kexiang." Tell her again, we'll find Momiji to come to the door right away and talk about it. ”

Zhenhua smiled, took the handkerchief and went into the kitchen.

Zhang Kexiang was sitting on a low stool in front of the stove to choose vegetables, chatting with Chunlan.

Zhenhua didn't care about his sister's presence, handed over the red handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Zhang Kexiang, this is the money I gave you for the meeting, this time I won't take credit." ”

Zhang Kexiang glanced at Zhenhua, but did not take the handkerchief.

"Take it. Zhenhua smiled and stuffed the handkerchief into Zhang Kexiang's pocket.

Zhang Kexiang took the handkerchief, unfolded it in his hand, pouted and said, "I'll see if there is any fake money!"

Chunlan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Zhang Kexiang unfolded the roll of money, leaving only a five-cent banknote, and the rest was stuffed directly into Chunlan's pocket: "Chunlan, this is the New Year's money I gave you." ”

Chunlan panicked, and hurriedly jumped up to dodge: "I don't want it, I don't want it." ”

Cui Hong hid outside the door and eavesdropped, then walked in, took Zhang Kexiang's hand, and said: "Child, this is your share, everyone has it, how can you not have it? Although we are poor, this etiquette cannot be missing." Either way, you'll have to take the money!"

Zhang Kexiang thought for a while and said with a smile: "Okay, since the aunt said it, then I'll take it." ”

Cui Hong was overjoyed, and took out a stack of brand-new ten-yuan bills from her pocket, a total of 100 yuan, and pressed them on Zhang Kexiang's palm: "This is the New Year's money that Auntie gave you." You came to pay New Year's greetings and brought us so many things, Auntie has to be a little thoughtful, doesn't she?"

"I can't say Auntie, then let's take it together. Thank you, Auntie. Zhang Kexiang didn't shirk this time, and accepted the money very simply.

"Good boy, this is obedient. Auntie is also relieved, she has to eat two more bowls of rice tonight!" Cuihong was satisfied, and a reassuring pill was eaten into her stomach.

After a brief rest, the craftsmen returned to work.

Zhenhua continued to do errands, served craftsmen, and did small jobs when he was free.

Zhang Kexiang was busy with things in the kitchen, and when she was bored, she also came to the front to watch the excitement.

Qi Lei couldn't stop idle, and when he saw Zhang Kexiang coming out, he began to shout again: "Master Zhang, you can look carefully, how to build the house, we all listen to you, you are the boss of the owner, you are in charge!"

Zhang Kexiang smiled: "Okay, you listen to me, you have the ability to build a three-story building for me." ”

Qi Lei looked at Zhenhua and shouted: "It's over, Zhao Zhenhua, people asked you to build a three-story building!"

"Build walls, build walls, why is there so much nonsense?" Zhenhua glared.

Qi Lei was not angry, grinned hehehe, and continued to work.

Song Jiacai is an idle man, where is the bustle, and he walked over with a teacup. The scolding with Qi Lei in the morning seems to have been forgotten by him.

Zhenhua was worried about Song Jiacai's nonsense, so he hurriedly threw a cigarette over.

When the cigarette fell to the ground, Song Jiacai bent down to pick it up and said, "What do you mean by Xiao Huazi, give me a cigarette and ask me to bend down to make a gesture to you?"

Zhenhua smiled and was too lazy to say.

Qi Lei muttered: "Nima dog-like thing, you kowtow to me, don't think I will give you a cigarette butt." ”

Song Jiacai didn't hear Qi Lei's words, lit a cigarette, swept his eyes over Zhang Kexiang a few times, and smiled.

Zhang Kexiang naturally ignored this kind of idler and turned his eyes to the side.

Lan Yuliang knew that Song Jiacai liked to talk about it and inherited the ability of his uncle Song Rengui, so he said: "Jiacai, it is easy to get sleepy in spring, tell us an ancient book to refresh yourself!"

Song Jiacai grinned and replied, "I don't give cigarettes, just want to listen to me?"

Lan Yuliang threw a cigarette over.

Song Jiacai took the cigarette and smiled: "It's easy to listen to me, I'll come up with a question to test you first, if you can answer it, I'll tell you a paragraph of Xiao Luo Cheng'......"

"What are the four major fragrances and four major dirty?" Lan Yuliang glanced at Song Jiacai.

are all people from the upper and lower villages, and everyone already knows Song Jiacai's routines.

Song Jiacai shook his head, waved his hand and said: "I don't test your four incense and four dirt today, but I will test you, do you know what the four joys are?"

Another bricklayer said casually, "Tell me what the four joys are?"

Song Jiacai opened his five fingers and combed his hair, glanced at Zhang Kexiang again, and said slowly: "The four joys are called ...... The swallow that pierces the clouds, the fish that tops the water, the donkey who has taken off the halter, the big girl in spring and February!"

Zhang Kexiang knew that what Song Jiacai said was not a good thing, glared at him, turned around and went back to the kitchen.

Song Jiacai thought he was proud and grinned.

Zhenhua frowned, and said to Song Jiacai: "Jiacai, don't talk nonsense, okay? The cigarettes are all given to you, and I can't stop your mouth!"

Song Jiacai rolled his eyes: "Who said I was idle? I'm talking about the ancients!"

Zhenhua was also not easy to say anything serious, and shook his head again and again.

Qi Lei squeezed his eyes at Zhenhua and said loudly: "I'll tell you about the ancients!"

The bricklayers listened with a grin.

Wang Xiang next door also shook over, listening to Qi Lei talk about the ancients.

Qi Lei says:

"In our provincial capital, Xiaoyaojin Zoo, there is a tiger, a wolf, a leopard, and a leper dog...... The tiger has a name, called the Qin, Han, Tang and Song dynasties, the wolf also has a name, called the self-cultivation Qi family, and the leopard also has a name, which is called opening the door to make a fortune. It's just that the leper dog has no name......"

Wang Xiang was puzzled and asked, "What are the names of these, messy mess, why doesn't the leper dog have a name?"

"Don't interrupt, listen to me!" Qi Lei waved his hand and said seriously:

The tiger, leopard, and wolf felt that the leper dog was pitiful, so they discussed it, and each took out a word from his own name and gave it to the leper dog. The tiger sent a Song character, the wolf also sent a family character, and the leopard sent the word wealth...... Therefore, this leper dog has a name, which is called - Song, Family, Cai!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then understood and burst into laughter!

Song Jiacai's face turned red, and he learned from the morning, picked up a brick from the ground and rushed towards Qi Lei, scolding in his mouth: "Qi Lei, you mother, Lao Tzu killed you today!"
