Chapter Ninety-Seven: Lao Hai Handles Things
Guixiang went to collect firewood, and several classmates in the dormitory began to talk about Guixiang's behavior of bringing a stove into school. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Basically, they all think that Liu Guixiang is too squeamish, and they can't bear this bitterness. At the same time, I also feel that Liu Guixiang's parents are too arrogant to their children, how can any child do whatever he wants? This is here to study, isn't it normal to live here, and endure some hardships!
Until the two female classmates who were in the same junior high school as Liu Guixiang also arrived, they looked a little contemptuous when they talked about Liu Guixiang. kindly helped to justify: "We came from the same school as Liu Guixiang, and we all know her situation better." She had an aunt who was starving to death, so her mother watched more than anything else when the children ate at home. When they went to junior high school, their parents took turns to give them food, and every once in a while, they had a meat dish. Speaking of which, we are actually quite envious of them, many of us have stomach pain, anemia and dizziness at every turn, but Liu Guixiang and Liu Minghua have never heard of any discomfort on their bodies. ”
A classmate from Shiqiao Township felt that this kind of thing was very unreasonable, and his words were a little hard: "Then they will send it even if it rains and snows?"
When the two classmates heard her say this, they didn't have anything to say, they both pursed their lips and smiled, and hurriedly packed their things and stopped joining their conversation.
When Liu Yujin arrived home, it was already dark. Wang Hongying warmed the food for him to eat, and sat down on the side and asked, "Why did you come back so late?"
"It's not that their principal doesn't agree! Tomorrow, Lao Hai's house will be on the beam, what will his uncle say? Will it be put in their house? Or will it continue to be in our house?"
"It's still at my house, and their families come to help. ”
Liu Yujin was a little surprised, "Huh, then they didn't mention the gift money?"
Speaking of this, Wang Hongying also felt very strange. At the beginning, when Lao Hai had no land to go to, how many people persuaded his uncle to take him in, but his uncle was unwilling to accept him. Unexpectedly, now not only let the family come to help, but also go to the construction site to help with the white work. I don't even care about Lao Hai's gift money! Although the gift money at this time is only five cents or one piece at most, it is quite simple to hold a banquet at this time. With your own livestock and home-grown vegetables, you can completely run a banquet. If you want to look good, then spend a little more money to buy a few catties of pork and it will be a good host. In short, this gift money will drop a little!
Wang Hongying shook his head: "I didn't mention it! I guess they didn't want to take Lao Hai home to live at that time, and they were afraid that building a new house and marrying a daughter-in-law would be a matter of spending a lot of money, right?
"Well, there are really ruthless people in this world, but it can't be too many everywhere! They can do this now, which is a good thing for Lao Hai, and it is good that we don't have many things in it. ”
Every time, when Lao Hai's second and mother's mother asked me to make an idea, I pushed it and asked her to ask Lao Hai herself. I won't be in the middle, lest I fall apart. ”
Lao Hai's house, the main body is erected quickly, and it will be on the beam in less than a month. After that, I can't think about it soon. Because the roof is paved with large tiles, it is necessary to make a layer of lining with bamboo in advance, which is mainly to support the weight of each tile. This work is not something that anyone can do, it must be done by the master, and the key points must be tied everywhere with iron wire. After tying the bamboo lining, it is necessary to lay a special bamboo mat or linoleum, mainly to prevent rain leakage caused by unpaved tiles or cracks.
In addition, the interior walls are painted, the exterior walls are jointed, and the interior floors are flattened. These jobs are mainly because there are few people who can do it, unlike when the main body is erected, there are many small jobs, and the master will save trouble when he does the work, and there will be more work. And these things, those small workers can't intervene, they can only let those who can do it, and everyone else can only be idle, so it slows down.
After the main house is built, the kitchen, the pot counter, and the furniture must be built. Along the way, Wang Hongying was busy with Layue. Fortunately, Lao Hai's aunts, sisters-in-law, and brothers-in-law all took turns to come over to give her a hand, otherwise, Wang Hongying would really be tired and paralyzed.
Immediately afterwards, it was the day when Lao Hai got married. However, this time, the venue for the banquet was transferred to the new house built by Lao Hai himself.
Lao Hai held a banquet, which can be regarded as the first wedding ceremony in Xiaoliuzhuang in so many years. In the past, either it was a revolutionary marriage and it was forbidden to eat and drink, or the family was surrounded by walls and could not afford to hold a banquet. Therefore, today's Lao Hai's house is a little too lively, whether it is a person who wants to pay a salute or not, they all run over and hang in and out, especially children.
Zhu Chengrong's mother-in-law stood in the courtyard of Lao Hai's new house, facing the new house, and sighed: "Tut! I really didn't expect it! Lao Hai was like a flower child the year before last, and he didn't even have a place to sleep (dialect, no meaning). I built the house so well this year, and the walls are snow-white. The ground is still paved with bricks, I'm afraid it cost a lot of money!"
A young unconvinced voice sounded: "The money he borrowed to build a house was borrowed, and the more he spended, the more he will pay back in the future, what is there to be happy about!"
Lao Hai's aunt was behind her to distribute candy to the children, and she was a little unhappy when she heard this, so she took the cloth bag in her hand, turned around and said to Liu Yufu's daughter-in-law who was not convinced: "Since Yu Jin's eldest nephew dares to lend Lao Hai so much money, it means that he can earn money." As long as you can earn money, you are not afraid of going into debt. ”
Liu Yufu's daughter-in-law's face was flushed, she was just a little resentful that a single person could afford to build such a good brick house, and she really didn't have any other bad intentions. She didn't dare to say a word, but turned around and ran to the place in front of the kitchen where several large basins were placed, helping to pick vegetables, wash vegetables, and do work.
Because there are Lao Hai's uncles, cousins, aunts, sisters-in-law, and brothers-in-law, these people do things at home. Wang Hongying and Liu Yujin were guests throughout the whole process today, chatting, drinking tea, and eating refreshments with their sleeves.
In the hall of the main house, Liu Yujin, who was sitting at the square table, became more and more impatient, and these people actually asked him how much money he earned. Look! How ridiculous is that! How much money do I make, and can I tell you with my mouth wide open?
He smiled dryly and perfunctorily, while pretending not to care about feeding the grass fragrance to the happy group. Cao Xiang was also very annoyed, her little belly, how could she stop her father from stuffing food into her mouth piece by piece? However, her father could only hide the mocking smile on his lips by bowing his head to feed her.
Alas, I had no choice but to endure it!
