Chapter 34 Repair the house and the courtyard

【1】

Zhang Zhishu said: "I have prepared all the things for Professor Guo's house to repair and build the house, and the cadres of the brigade will follow me to my house and bring all the wood for changing doors and windows." The rest of the things will be arranged by you, Captain Zhang. Zhang Zhishu said, and led the cadres of the brigade away.

Zhang Guangcai commanded everyone and said, "Zhang Donggua, Li Zhuzi, Qin Fatdan...... You all go to the house of the secretary of the Zhang branch and put those beams, purlins, rafters...... It's all pulled. They all went to the gate of the street and pulled the flat cars and set off. Captain Zhang continued, "The women began to remove weeds and trees, the older ones went to the first floor to clean up, the plasterers went up to the roof to remove all the things on it, and the carpenters went to remove the broken doors and windows. They each acted according to the captain's instructions. Immediately afterwards, he commanded, "Zhang Guangliang is responsible for pulling sand, Qin Chunqi is responsible for carrying water, and Yin Zhaogen is responsible for pulling broken hemp and white ash ......."

Guo Yingzi couldn't wait to say, "Captain Zhang, let me be in charge of Lava." "She's always rushing for the work of the male laborers.

Li Dongzhi hurriedly said: "A car of tiles is very heavy, so let me be responsible for going to Lava." ”

Wang Meihua said with a smile: "Yo yo yo, look at Li Dongzhi's distress, my sister Yingzi is blessed to find an object that will hurt people." Hee-hee......"

Professor Guo saw that the cadres and the masses were more energetic than the other. Of course, if you want to talk about the most motivated, that is the two brothers Guo Aidang, as well as the two brothers Guo Aihai, and Guo Aishan father and son.

Zhang Guangcai saw the people on the roof, and it didn't take much effort to remove the tiles and start to peel off the mud again. Captain Zhang said: "Brother Guo, look, it's really a lot of members who are working fast! According to this speed, it is estimated that all the things on the roof of a house can be lifted in one moment." ”

Professor Guo said, "Yes, they are working very fast!"

Zhang Guangcai climbed up the ladder to the room, looked down and said, "Guiwatou, Gui Liming, Qin Dihua, Zhang Xinfa, the four of you will make new doors and windows according to the standards of the door and the window." ”

"Gotcha!" the four carpenters agreed.

At noon, sure enough, the people on the roof lifted the things on the roof.

Li Yue'e, Professor Guo and the old people were responsible for serving everyone's meal, bowl after bowl. Because the wild vegetable noodles made by Li Yue'e are delicious, the women ate two bowls, and some men ate three bowls.

After everyone had eaten, they didn't rest for a minute, and then they started working again.

On the house, under the house, it is in full swing to be busy: the clattering and seesawing fast, the clattering and nailing, the snorting and squeezing the mud, and the jingle and the craftsman is busy. What a lively work scene!

Zhang Guangming and the others helped them unload the things on the car again and again.

......At this time, Li Yue'e went home to feed her little daughter, and then brought some food and seasonings for lunch. Holding a jar of wine, carrying a big burden on her shoulders, and carrying three ducks with their feathers in her other hand, she sang a song into the courtyard of Professor Guo's house. Li Yue'e is always happy. As soon as she came in, she said, "Guys, I've got a jar of wine, and a big basket of wild vegetables, and ducks!"

Professor Guo hurriedly trotted over, he hurriedly took a jar of sorghum wine held by Li Yue'e and put it on the ground, and then took the big burden on her shoulders, which contained a lot of vegetables and wild vegetables, as well as spices and so on. She took the three feathered ducks she was carrying in her other hand.

Professor Guo said with a grateful expression: "Eh, look at you so much, it's really a shame to let you spend so much, why do you want me to thank you?"

Li Yue'e hurriedly said: "You're welcome, what's the politeness with me?" She said while taking the things in the basket outside, "When I went to visit my aunt's house in the provincial capital with my Wen Ya's father, I passed by your house and turned a corner, you were still young at that time, and six or seven years have passed in a blink of an eye, look at you have gray hair." The professor said, "I'm in my forties."

Professor Guo and his neighbors also took out pots from the basket and put them on the ground. Li Yue'e poured some water into the basin and soaked the soybeans, green beans, and peanuts separately.

Professor Guo squatted down with the old people and began to remove the old yellow leaves from various greens and wild vegetables, and then washed them.

Li Yue'e first put a bag of ingredients wrapped in a cloth and some salt into the pot, and then put the washed duck into the pot and was busy boiling the pot and stewing.

Professor Guo said apologetically to Guo Changgen and his wife: "Uncle, aunt, you two old people should rest, you are so old, and you are still tired, I am sorry." ”

Guo Yingzi's grandmother Guo Wang said, "Don't look at how old we are, but our bodies are great!"

Guo Changgen also hurriedly said: "It's time to be polite to the uncle." I'll go home and bring you two jars of wine, and the sorghum wine and wine I have made myself will taste pure. The other old people hurriedly went to their respective homes to bring tables, chairs and benches, which really made Professor Guo grateful.

Everyone has been busy unloading the purlins on the car. The carpenters used saws to saws the locust wood into door and window materials, and then used a sickle to moult the skin, and then dug the hole, and then used the chisel to dig the tenon, and finally inserted the tenon into the hole and the head was just right. Zhang Guangming said to the carpenters, "Guys, you have to make the tenon strong, and the service life of the doors and windows will be long!" the carpenters promised.

Zhang Guangming asked his wife: "You process the scraps of those work clothes and make a bed circumference for our brother Guo?"

"Okay! I'll start working on it tonight, and when it's done, wouldn't it be better to embroider a painting of flowers, birds, insects, and fish?" Li Yue'e generously agreed as she tore off the rotten paper on the wall of Guo Aimin's living room.

Li Yue'e picked up the old paper on the ground again and pinched it into the yard to use it to burn the pot.

The members of the club have plastered a layer of white ash putty on the walls of each room. In each room, it was as if a swarthy face was smeared with a layer of white pearls, and it immediately looked fair and beautiful. The room immediately looked clean, bright and classy.

As soon as Guo Aishan saw that it was dark, he went to his house to bring several pine oil lamps, one in each room, to illuminate the people who were plastering the walls.

Guo Aishan asked his wife to pull the flatbed truck, and he and Guo Aimin removed the bricks and ash on the ground cleanly. Everyone else helped Professor Guo to clean up the cobwebs and dust from the upper floor of the main room. Everyone cleaned Professor Guo's house and worked until it was dark.

Guo Aishan said: "Brother Guo Aimin, you don't know, we can't get electricity in our village a few times a year, but there is electricity today, so let's put a wire from my house." Also, the first few days were gloomy, but now it's a bright spring. Look at the moon shining brightly in the sky!"

Professor Guo said, "God help me!" Guo Yingzi brought light bulbs from her house and handed them to her father. Guo Aishan screwed on the lamp port respectively, and as soon as his daughter Yingzi pulled the switch, the light illuminated the house and the yard brightly in an instant.

Li Yue'e first poured a bucket of hand washing water into the washbasin and prepared it for everyone, and then arranged the table and stools with the old man and the old lady, and then began to serve food on the table and take dishes and chopsticks. Li Yue'e put a jar of sorghum wine brewed by Guo Changgen on the table where each man was sitting. And he put a jar of wine on the table where the women were sitting. There was also a jar of Li Yue'e's wine made from sorghum for backup, and the jar of wine on the table was definitely not enough for them to drink.

The group fixed the beams on the roof in order, then nailed the purlins, and then nailed the rafters. And when they were done well, they spread the mats, mud, and tiles. Zhang Zhishu has strict requirements for everything, and must be the strongest and most meticulous.

When they were done, they quickly washed off their hands and faces, and then sat down on the board at the dinner table. It's a sight to behold!

Professor Guo poured a bowl of liquor into the small porcelain bowl in front of each man. He poured another glass of wine into the glasses in front of each of the women. With a grateful look on his face, he picked up his wine glass and said sincerely: "Everyone has come to help me Lao Guo today, I am really grateful to the villagers! Come, everyone cheers!" Everyone drank it all. The men were so hungry that they picked up chopsticks and quickly ate various dishes and duck meat. They can't eat so many kinds of dishes even for New Year's Day!

The women were also hungry, so they picked up their chopsticks and ate quickly.

Zhang Donggua looked at the village women's director, and said jokingly: "Eh, Sister Meihua, you have become a big fat cat, beware that my brother Guo Tiedan doesn't want you anymore." Guo Tiedan was a shy person, his face turned red when he brushed the ground, and he said: "Don't be nonsense, just eat, where is so much nonsense!" Zhang Dongdong stuck out his tongue mischievously.

"Hehe, I'm making noodles with fried sauce with eggs and wild vegetables for everyone! Everyone has worked hard today, so let's eat more!" Everyone was very excited when they heard Li Yue'e say this, how could they be unhappy? What a rare grain this noodle is now! Li Yue'e sweated profusely and rolled out the well-proportioned noodles on the lid of a pot made of sorghum stalks. Afraid that the noodles would stick together, she used her hands to unwrap the pinches of noodles. Her face-cutting skills were praised by everyone. "Let's take a look, in order to make everyone taste, I not only pounded some garlic, but also fried some sesame peanut chili sauce. Let's eat it later!"

The professor poured another glass of wine for everyone, picked up the wine glass, and said affectionately: "Yes, yes, Brother and Sister Yue'e are right, after eating and drinking, they will eat noodles vigorously! I am so grateful to everyone! Then I will use a poem to express my heart at this moment:

"Xie Chen"

Jun is in trouble today, and his relatives are helping him in need.

Give you a glass of wine, a little expression of my heart.

Zhang Guangming smiled and said, "Brother Guo said it well! Let's all raise our glasses and dry this glass of wine!" Everyone picked up the wine glass and drank it.

Professor Guo said to everyone: "Thank you for your help today, this great kindness is not grateful, and all the friendship is in the wine." Come, everyone, grab your glasses and let's do it again!"

Everyone held their glasses together and said, "!"

Everyone stopped drinking, Li Yue'e, the professor and Zhang Guangming scooped up the noodles cooked in the pot for everyone.

Zhang Guangming said: "Yes, yes, Wen Yaniang is right, if you like garlic, use a small spoon to mash garlic juice, and if you like spicy food, you can eat some chili peppers." It's time to eat these spicy ingredients, so let's eat them all with great energy!"

Professor Guo hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I've been working for a day, I must eat to my heart's content!"

Everyone was full of wine and food, and with the happy mood of helping others, they were about to say goodbye to Professor Guo. Before leaving, Professor Guo sent the cadres and the masses to the street gate, clasped his hands into fists, and said several times with a grateful expression: "Thank you! Thank you......

Professor Guo turned home, and looked at the courtyard to be clean, wide and wide. Walking inside, every room is brand new. With infinite gratitude to the people of his hometown, he thought: In the future, how can I repay the love of my hometown fathers and elders for me?
