Chapter 160: Buying Building Materials in the City

Seeing that the time was almost half past eleven, grandma pulled Luo Xincai's floor row car in the courtyard over and put six sacks of peanuts on it. "Brother, pull it back and let the children eat a rarity. ”

Luo Xincai received it happily, "Sister-in-law, I will accept it for your nephews, and the children will borrow your blessings, this peanut is really a rare thing." ”

Wang Daidi is really Lisuo in her hands, and she has prepared a large table of meals at home, complete with chicken, duck and fish, which is very hearty. Grandma said to her: "Brother and sister, you are so polite, my sister-in-law will not dare to come in the future." ”

"Sister-in-law, not all of them can you eat, and not all of them are in my child's stomach. The children are looking forward to you coming there and improving their lives with you. ”

really let Wang Daidi say, and the four children came back one after another. I was very happy to see my grandmother, "Auntie, why don't you come, I miss you." ”

After lunch, looking at the clean plates and rice bowls on the dining table, Youyou felt for the first time that compared to the children of Luo Xincai's family, the amount of food in his own family was still in the normal range.

The four children of his family are still quite civilized when eating, they don't fight or grab, they sit there and eat quietly, but the speed is a little fast, like swallowing directly.

Wang Daidi looked at them, "You won't eat slowly, chew and swallow slowly, swallow it directly, after a long time, your stomach can stand it." ”

The eldest son was sensible, glanced at Youyou, and was embarrassed to say anything. The youngest son quit: "We are not girls, so we don't learn girls to eat, it's annoyingly slow." If that's the case, when will you be able to eat? ”

That's right, if they chew their large amount of food slowly, it will take a long time just to eat.

Luo Xincai saw that his wife was blocked by the children, so he kicked his eyes: "Why talk to your mother, even if you are reasonable, you can't contradict the elders." Daughter-in-law, let's not be like a child, you don't care if they eat fast and slowly, this stomach is good even if you eat scales. ”

Coming out of Luo Xincai's house, grandma went to the restaurant, asked for six dishes and ten catties of steamed buns, and came to the car at five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was estimated that it would be more than seven o'clock in the evening to get home, and the driver had to have dinner at home.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Luo Xincai brought a Jiefang truck, and also found a few people to load the truck. Due to the large number of things, it was not loaded until six o'clock, and the back carriage was full.

Grandma and Youyou sat in the front of the car, pointed the way to the driver, and went all the way back to the village. It was just seven o'clock when I got home, and it was dark. People are eating at home, and the village is quiet.

The Yoyo family lives in the west of the village, and there is a distance of 100 meters from the village, so it doesn't cause much movement. The patriotic uncle was waiting at Youyou's house, and when he heard the sound of a car, he hurried out.

"Aunt, we're thinking about you at home, just come back. Come into the house and rest, I'll go to the village to find someone to unload the car. The patriotic uncle instructed the driver to drive the car to the front of the house and stopped, and asked Yoyo's father to lead the driver home for dinner.

Grandma took out the food she had brought back from the city, and her mother had already boiled a pot of millet porridge. Grandma took out another bottle of wine and asked grandpa to accompany the driver to drink.

The master looked at the wine that his grandmother was holding and became interested. "Yanghe Daqu, this is good wine, but it's a pity, I have to drive back, so I can only drink two sips to taste it. ”

Grandpa saw that he was hungry like that, and he didn't forget to drive and not drink. He said, "No one drinks at home, and the wine that has been opened will smell like it, so you can take it back and drink it slowly." ”

The master is also a cheerful person: "That dare is good, I even eat and take, and the value of coming out today." ”

The house in the yard has been vacated, and Yoyo's parents live in the health room at night, just in time to watch things.

Without waiting for the patriotic uncle to call someone, the people who lived in the west of the village came. The trucks were still quite loud, and people were greeting each other and coming to help unload the trucks.

It took more than an hour to load, and the unloading was much faster, and due to the large number of people, it was unloaded in more than half an hour. The driver also finished eating, watched the unloading of things, and said goodbye.

Grandma gave him the promised ten yuan, and brought him two bottles of Yanghe Daqu. He took it and said, "I'm familiar with Luo Guozi, just let him call me if you have something in the future." ”

It seems that this master has taken advantage of the rest time to take on private work. Ten yuan for a trip, his salary plus subsidy for a month is more than 50 yuan, and a few private jobs a month are more than his salary.

When my uncle and grandfather came over, they had already packed up. In the two rooms, there are various building materials, and square boards and square timbers are unloaded in the house. Pine beam purlins are unloaded on the outside of the house due to their large number.

Everyone gathered around the door of the health room, smoking the cigarettes handed by his father, and discussing enthusiastically. There are good purlins for pine beams, and there are good for boards.

The carpenter in the village was reluctant to get out of the house around the plank, and kept muttering: how thick is this, how many inches is there, what is appropriate for this, and what is just right for that. The final conclusion is: it is better to have a home in the city, this wood is solved, all materials are available, and it is easy to save a lot of money by doing the work.

Uncle and grandpa asked grandma in a low voice, "How much wood do you want?"

"In addition to the beam purlin, the timber is five squares, and I am thinking about building a house, and we will make some furniture. ”

After listening to Grandma's answer, Grandpa asked in surprise: "Who do you know, it's usually hard to get wood." ”

Grandma told him according to the reason discussed with Youyou: "I exchanged the pigs in our village and promised to send them pork during the Spring Festival." But people don't want us for nothing, buy it at the price of one pound a piece. ”

After hearing this, my uncle and grandfather came to his senses, "This is a good thing, our village has fed a lot of pigs this year, and the team can overfulfill the country's tasks by feeding them alone, and you have done a good thing for everyone again." However, don't talk about it now, just in case something goes wrong in the middle, I'll tell you when the time comes. ”

More and more people in the village gathered, and the people of the Youyou family were also here, and my uncle and grandfather discussed with everyone about building a house. Everyone said: Now that we are free, since the things are ready, let's start work tomorrow.

Building a house is such a big deal, and several families are busy. Not only did the two aunts help out at Youyou's house, but seven of the "little old mothers", Jiege mother and daughter, Guixiang, and Panni came. There are steamed buns, stir-fried vegetables, and pot-baked pots.

A large shed was set up in the wheat field, and the two cauldrons of the team were supported under the shed. The team not only has a cauldron, but also steamers, basins and chopsticks, which saves a lot of trouble and does not have to go all over the village to borrow belongings. Tables and stools were borrowed from various families, and a large area was set up in the wheat field.

Now, there is no need to pay for building a house in the village, and everyone is obliged to help, but the main family has to take care of a meal at noon. The dry food tube is full, generally sorghum bean nest, and each person has a bowl of stew.
