After the transportation, everyone sat down to rest, wiped the sweat on their faces, and Shui Feng and his mother hurriedly poured the boiled water and let them drink it.

Wearing very few clothes, doing heavy work, sweat wet clothes, everyone's faces were red, panting for breath, Fu's father smiled and scattered cigarettes to them, telling them to wait for dinner and then go back, they couldn't say no immediately.

Dad Fu immediately smiled and asked, "Brothers, do you want to settle your salary now?" ”

The four eldest brothers looked at each other, and then said, "You say, if you finish it and then end it, you can remember the time, and then we will sign it, and finally count it together, if you want to end it to us now." ”

Dad Fu asked Lan Feng, and Lan Feng immediately smiled and said, "Brothers, Ming Chen and I just got married, and I paid all the money to repair this house, if you believe me, how about finishing the salary after you finish it?"

Looking at this ordinary woman, the four eldest brothers were a little admired, after all, there are too few such women, and they are sincerely for the family.

The four of them said, "Okay, girl, we trust you, let's give it when we're done." ”

Dad Fu also nodded and said okay, the four eldest brothers waited for Lan Feng to write down the time of the four people, worked for a day, how much the salary was, all of them, and then wrote that they had not paid and signed their names.

They just left, and after they left, Lan Feng whispered to his father: "After doing it, let's get married, I can't help them go, if it's over a month, they ask for a knot, and we will give it to them." ”

Dad Fu nodded and said okay, Grandpa and Shui Feng went to cook early, knowing that they were tired, Yunfan went to help light the fire, only he didn't work, he consciously went to the kitchen to help.

Soon the meal was cooked, and it was eaten up at noon, and there were four dishes tonight, three vegetables and one meat, and the house had to be repaired later, and the chickens and ducks raised had to be eaten.

Everyone was tired, and they ate their meals slowly, not talking much.

After eating, Shui Feng and Yunfan went to wash the dishes, Yunfan burned firewood and prepared hot bath water, everyone was sweating and needed to wash it.

The water breeze washed the dishes, and the three adults sat and rested, discussing the purchase of cement tomorrow, as well as the river sand, and talking to each other.

Wait until the water breeze is finished, Yunfan hot water, and ask the three adults to take a bath first.

The three adults immediately said okay, grandpa will go first, Shui Feng will come over to help his mother beat his back, and Yunfan will come over to help his father beat his back.

The two adults were very relieved, the two children were so considerate, and they were very relieved.

After a while, the grandfather finally finished washing, and the two adults went to wash one after another, and the grandfather sat down, and the two grandsons hurriedly beat him on the back.

Knock and knock, and wait until the parents have washed it, and then the two children go to wash.

After washing, the family went to bed early and will be busy tomorrow.

The next morning, after dinner, my parents went out again, and soon took the car to the town and found the store from yesterday.

The boss quickly recognized them, and they immediately said that if they wanted to buy it, they would buy ten bags first, and they would come back if it was not enough.

The two bosses said yes, called a small three-wheeler, loaded the cement, and after loading, Lan Feng counted the money and gave it to them, they recognized the money, and after the points were correct, they got on the small three-wheeler and left.

The tricycle driver was a man in his forties, and he often ran the country roads for them.

The tricycle, which was still relatively familiar and burned with diesel, drove all the way to the main road.

Still couldn't get by, so I had to pour the cement down, Lan Feng guarded, and asked Dad Fu to go home and call someone, Dad Fu said okay and ran back.

Lan Feng counted the money, gave the freight to the driver, and said with a smile: "We will buy river sand later, do you want to help transport it?"

The driver's master looked at the money, carefully identified it, counted it, and said after it was correct: "Okay, wait a minute, I'll take you to the town, see how much, and I'll run if I pull it!"

Lan Feng hurriedly said thank you, Dad Fu quickly called someone to come, the four eldest brothers had already come yesterday, waiting for them at home, they hurriedly pushed the cart over and loaded all the ten bags of cement.

Dad Fu and Lan Feng hurriedly took the tricycle back to the town, and soon found the one who sold river sand, and asked the price, how much is a catty?

Lan Feng began to bargain, the bosses were two men about forty years old, with strong figures, doing these businesses, without strength, they couldn't do it at all.

The two bosses took them to the scene where the machine was beaten into river sand and showed them the thickness of the river sand, which one was needed?

They said that it would be better to be even, and the two sides negotiated the price, and finally the boss finally negotiated the price with a little less.

Use a scale to weigh the pounds, and install the small three-wheeler, just under it. Lan Feng hurriedly counted the money to the boss, and the boss recognized the money, and after counting the points, he said that it was okay. They just got on the small tricycle and left.

Grandpa and they rested at home, and when Lan Feng and them came home, looking at the neatly stacked red bricks and cement, Grandpa felt very relieved.

He said to the four eldest brothers who helped: "Thank you, this new daughter-in-law is really good, she is willing to spend money on us, and let Shui Feng treat her as her own mother in the future, Ming Chen has met a good person." ”

The four eldest brothers sat there resting and drinking boiling water, and they all said yes, it seems that rich women also have good people, and they all sighed that Ming Chen is second marriage is better.

talked about his family's family affairs, and said that it would be good to live a stable life, although the family was poor, it was best for women not to find trouble.

After a long while, the small tricycle they were in arrived on the side of the road, and after getting out of the car, the driver was leaving.

I had to pour all the river sand on the side of the road, Lan Feng couldn't say anything, so he had to count the money to him, and the driver immediately recognized the points, and after counting, he drove away.

Dad Fu went back and asked them to pull, and when they heard it, they hurriedly pushed the cart to pull, shoveled it into the iron basket with a shovel, and then pushed it back.

It took many trips back and forth before it was finally finished.

Shui Feng and Grandpa were cooking in the kitchen, Yunfan was burning firewood, and after they washed their hands and faces, they sat down to rest.

When the meal is ready, all of them are served on the table, it is also three vegetables and three meats, kill a chicken, a duck, the food is delicious, everyone sits down and eats a lot, and the physical labor is very expensive, so you will be very hungry.

When they had eaten and there was not much left of the meal, the four eldest brothers immediately asked, "Where are the stones for repairing the house?"

Dad Fu looked at them and said with a smile: "I still bought it from the Hong stonemason in the village before, and I used to build this house, but my dad said that he bought it at his house." ”

The four eldest brothers also said yes, saying that they also bought it there, and their family specializes in mining stones on the rocky mountain on the mountain.

Punched out of steel and lead, the mountain belonged to the village, and in order to make better use of it, their family contracted it to the village chief. Because it is very close to his family's land.

The family of five specializes in mining, and the three sons and father relied on mining the stone mountain, and did not go out to work, and several nearby villages repaired houses and went there to buy them.

In recent years, more people have slowly gone out to work, leaving a son and father, and a mother at home, mining that stone mountain, their family has already built a red brick house, considering that it costs a lot of money to marry a wife, and the two brothers go out to work to earn money.

Father Fu and the four eldest brothers, as well as Lan Feng, went, walked through the winding path, and there were a lot of weeds on the side of the road, which was very dense.

They took the thumb-thick flies and a few flat poles, and went to the Hong stonemasons, where they must have been stone-blowing.

They heard the sound of beating stones from afar, and they finally found the father and son, and saw that they were trying to beat the stones.

Father Fu hurriedly called out to the Hong stonemason, and called twice, and the two fathers and sons finally heard it, immediately stopped, and hurriedly came over and asked, "Big brother, do you want to buy stones?"

Dad Fu said that the family needed to repair the house, and it would take three rooms, and the Hong stonemasons smiled and said loudly: "Okay, you come and see these, they have been built." ”

Everyone looked at the long stones piled up next to them, Dad Fu nodded and said yes, and said with a smile: "I'll ask the four eldest brothers to help, you can tell you a price." ”

Hong Mason was very yellow, and so was his son, he said a price, and Lan Feng immediately asked, "Master, can it be cheaper?"

Hong Mason looked at her and said with a smile: "Sister, my price is very fair, but it has risen a little bit compared to before, and now that the price has risen, if we don't rise, what will we eat?"

Dad Fu nodded yes, Lan Feng had to say okay, order the number, and let the four eldest brothers carry it back first, because the road was too small and curved, it was inconvenient to use a small cart, so he had to carry it back manually.

The four of them carried a long stone, and they could carry it away slightly, Lan Feng hurriedly counted the money and gave it to the Hong stonemason, he took it, and after recognizing the money, he said that it was okay, and then said that it was very tiring to mine the stone.

Dad Fu and Lan Feng stayed there and watched, waiting for the four eldest brothers to come back, the four eldest brothers walked for a while, and they had to stop and rest for a while, and after resting a few times, they were carried back.

Seeing their laborious appearance, Grandpa had to tell them not to get tired.

After putting the stone away, the four eldest brothers took the rope and the pole and went out, walked to Fu's father, and the four eldest brothers tied the stone.

began to lift, seeing that they had only been lifting a piece for so long, Lan Feng was a little worried, but there was no way.

Dad told them to be quieter, they could change him when they were tired, and the four eldest brothers hurriedly said okay, they are all people who work, and they still have a lot of strength.

This time I stopped less, walked faster, and arrived home soon.

Put it away and continue to lift, so that it lifted about ten yuan, and there was a big brother who was a little tired, he said to Dad Fu that he wanted to take a break, and Dad Fu said okay.

Replace him and carry him by himself, so he walked back and forth ten more times, changed another big brother, changed it several times, and finally it was almost dark before he finished carrying the purchased stone.

Dad Fu let them eat and then go back, they said okay, wash their hands and faces, the food has been served on the table, everyone is really hungry, eat a big mouthful, eat two bowls of dry rice, eat a lot of vegetables, only to feel full.

After eating, Lan Feng wrote down the construction period and asked them to sign it, and after signing, they went back.

Shui Feng went to wash the dishes, she knew that adults were very tired during this time, so she took advantage of the fact that there were still a few days to study, so she could do more.

Lan Feng sat there to help Dad Fu beat his back, and he would be even more tired in the future. Only tomorrow will we start digging the foundations and pulling the stones.

Grandpa was boiling water, and Yunfan hurried to find his clothes and prepare to take a bath.

Grandpa burned it and let the two children wash it first, then the son and them, and wash it himself last.

After washing and tidying up, everyone went to bed.
