Chapter 138: Take away the big girl in the village
Xiaoling and Jing'er were both startled by Xiao Yao's call. Xiao Yao didn't explain, and pulled the two of them to the new house.
Huang Bantou and the workers are still working overtime, and the roof tiles of the three rooms have been paved to the fourth edge. Xiao Yao found Huang Bantou and said eagerly:
"Huang Bantou, I forgot to build a bathroom for Jing'er. Can it be made up for now?"
"It's... Brother Xiao, have you sobered up? In the rural areas of our area, no one has built a house or a bathroom. Take a bath, and use a rice fence to solve the problem, who still spends that unjust money? If not, or you forget, I will remind you. ”
"Huang Bantou, that's different, we all use the bathroom to take a bath, but this toilet can't work, you better think of a way for me." ”
"It's not easy to do, build a room in the backyard alone, the materials are not enough, it doesn't look good anywhere, and it's even more impossible at the gate, it's ugly, and it also spoils the scenery and feng shui. Unless..."
"Huang Bantou, don't do it, just say what you think, let's discuss it. ”
"The kitchen and the east room share the back eaves wall, unless they are separated by one meter and a half to two meters from the east room, and a door is opened in the kitchen, so that the main appearance remains the same, and the bathroom is more hidden. It's just that the size of the East Room has become smaller. ”
"Okay, let's discuss it with my uncle and aunt. After negotiating, I'll give you an additional salary. ”
"Just a wall, the materials are enough, and what kind of wages do you need to add? ”
Together they went to their uncle and aunt and told them what had happened. Uncle Qian and Aunt Xiaohui, seeing Xiao Yao as Jing'er, worked so hard and meticulously, they all had mixed feelings in their hearts, and they were glad that their daughter had a hard background, but she had such a good life, and now, parents are also happy with her.
The two of them had no opinion at all, they just said that Xiao Yao could do whatever he wanted, no matter how small the room was, it was a hundred times stronger than living in a greenhouse. So, they were in the east room to measure on the spot, and Huang Bantou called three people and began to dig the foundation.
"Brother Xiao, don't say that I shirk my responsibility, this wall has no foundation and is not connected to the overall structure. Now it's digging, and you can't dig deep, and you can't build 24 walls on the wall, it's too heavy. In order to prevent it from collapsing in the future, it is best to use a five-inch head wall, so that the wall is light and the site materials are sufficient. ”
"Okay, I don't blame you if there is any problem with this wall in the future, but if there is a problem, you have to help me repair it, the price is negotiable. ”
When the workers knew that Xiao Yao had gone to such great lengths just to build a bathroom for Jing'er, they made jokes about Jing'er one by one.
"Jing'er, your brother Xiao has thought about everything for you for your little daughter-in-law. ”
"Simply, don't wait for you to grow up, be your brother's daughter-in-law now. Look how nice he is to you. ”
"Yes, Jing'er, you don't want to be his daughter-in-law now, if you grow up and someone else becomes your brother's daughter-in-law, you won't have any tears to cry. ”
Grandpa Qian and his uncles and aunts also knew that the workers were playing with Jing'er. They all stood there smiling and didn't speak. Jing'er quit:
"I'm not afraid, I still have to go to school now, how can I have time to be Brother Xiao's daughter-in-law? When I grow up, I don't care who is Brother Xiao's daughter-in-law, I will be Brother Xiao's daughter-in-law. Sister Xiaoling, are you right?"
Xiao Ling couldn't have imagined that she was also shot while lying down. Jing'er's last words actually asked her head, and Xiaoling was immediately blushed by Jing'er:
"Go, go, do you want to be your brother Xiao's daughter-in-law, ask me what am you doing? Anyway, I won't be your brother Xiao's daughter-in-law." ”
"Sister Xiaoling, you have slept with Brother Xiao, who else can you be if you don't be Brother Xiao's daughter-in-law?"
"Jing'er! you...."
In the laughter of everyone, Xiaoling fled in embarrassment.
"Brother Xiao, tomorrow to night, the interior wall painting will basically be finished, the day after tomorrow doors and windows paint and install glass, we will the night after tomorrow, overnight to do the floor light. The day after tomorrow, the cement is strong, and the furniture can be moved in. You're ready. ”
After leaving Huang Bantou, Xiao Yao and Jing'er's family took a look at the interior of the house again, as well as the front and back of the house.
"Grandpa Qian, in the open space at the gate, I have greeted Huang Bantou and Brother Wednesday, and asked them to touch some flowers and trees to plant, and when Jing'er grows up, these flowers and trees will also grow up. ”
"Xiao Yao, this backyard is not small, and it is inconvenient to grow vegetables on it, your aunt and I will raise some poultry and livestock in the future. When you come to your house, I will kill you and give you something to eat. ”
"That's great. Brother Xiao, we will often come back to eat in the future. ”
"Okay, just listen to Jing'er. But uncle, your body still needs to be recuperated for a long time, so don't do heavy physical work. If there is a good one, the gain outweighs the loss. ”
"Don't worry, uncle knows how many pounds and taels he has, this life is equivalent to you pulling me back from the ghost gate, I will take good care of myself, and I won't let you worry about me anymore. ”
"Grandpa Qian, today's gift money, in addition to the vegetable money, there are about five hundred leftovers, but I won't give you this money. I have other uses, and I hope you don't get off. ”
"Xiao Yao, you kid, what are you talking about? You just give it to us, and we can't take it, inside and outside here, how much money did you spend. Besides, if it weren't for you, who would have had so much gift money? You can keep the money for yourself, and your uncle and aunt have nothing to say. ”
"Grandpa Qian, it's useful for me to keep it, let's go to the captain's house together in the evening, I have something to discuss with you. ”
After dinner, Xiao Yao and Jing'er's family took Xiaoling to the captain's house together. The captain's eyes were still red, and he had just gotten up to drink some porridge.
"It's good to be young, you've drunk so much at noon, and you've been drunk like that, and you've woken up like nothing else. I'm still dizzy. ”
"Captain Zhang, I'm bothering you again, if you're not feeling well, we'll talk about it another day. ”
"It's okay, if you don't bother or not, I'll see you pleasing to the eye, and you won't be your mother-in-law's. ”
"Okay, I'm not going to spare the bend, I don't understand, our village. Where's a boy my age?"
"Oh, you don't know about it, but everyone in the village knows it, they all go to the mine to dig coal, and they can't come back a few times a year. Not only in our village, but also in nearby villages. ”
"I see, no wonder I came here and saw girls about my age. How many girls the size of Xiaoqing's sister are there in our village? Are they all idle at home?"
"There were seven or eight people in our village the same size as Xiaoqing, and some of them were poor and got married early. If it weren't for Xiaoqing's mother and I who were reluctant, Xiaoqing's mother-in-law would also urge her to marry. ”
"Dad, when did I have my in-laws, it wasn't you adults yet, it was decided after discussion, but I didn't agree. ”
Xiaoqing was anxious when her father said this. In her heart, she didn't like the family affairs set for her by her parents at all, and that boy and Xiao Yao in front of her couldn't be compared at all. I didn't want to marry him at all.
"Isn't it all the same whether you agree or not? As the old saying goes, the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker. We have decided, that is your future in-law's house. ”
Xiao Yao saw Xiaoqing and the captain talking about housework, and Xiaoqing was so anxious that she was about to cry. He quickly interrupted the conversation between the father and daughter:
"Captain, let's not talk about that today, I want to know, how many girls like Xiaoqing are there in our village?"
"Xiao Yao, what do you want to do? You don't want to take all the big girls in the village away?"
