Chapter 236: Jealousy

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Liang and his sister Li Meng returned from his grandfather's house, Li Meng carried the basket that Li Liang brought in the morning, and in the morning the basket was a few pieces of pork belly.

"Sister, let me mention it!" Li Liang saw that his sister was a little struggling to carry the basket, and took the initiative to say.

"No need, you brought it up when you came over in the morning, and I'll pick it up when I go back now, this thing is okay, it's not very heavy!" Li Meng refused, and then said, "Liangzi, let's go to my uncle's house later, the eldest uncle and the second uncle are there, let's see how the house is built now!"

"Good!"

The village where Li Liang's grandfather's house is located is about a mile away from Zaozhu Township, which is not too far. When the two of them set off from their grandfather's house, it was exactly three o'clock, and the grandfather and the second uncle also went out to work in the fields together. On the way to Weizhen, under the scorching sun on both sides of the road, the villagers were still busy.

"Uncle, second uncle!" Li Liang shouted in front of the uncle's house under construction at the easternmost end of the small street in Weizhen.

Li Liang's eldest uncle Wang Maogen and second uncle Wang Shenggen were mixing cement, and when they heard Li Liang's shout, the two of them listened to the work in their hands.

"Mengmeng, Liangzi, why did you go back. Let's go to my uncle's house for a few days and then go back!" Wang Maogen said very enthusiastically, "At noon, when I went home for dinner, I heard from your aunt that you sent pork belly over, and your aunt and uncle all went to work in the field, and your grandmother cleaned it up for us!"

Wang Shenggen didn't talk much, and his relationship with Li Meng and Li Liang's sisters and brothers was also relatively estranged, he nodded faintly and smiled, but didn't say anything.

"Uncle, we still have something to do, and we'll come back in a few days to play!" Li Meng said.

"That's okay, your grandmother is home alone now, and your aunt and I can take care of it a little now. Usually when you have time, come back to see her more often!" Wang Maogen admonished.

Wang Maogen is very enthusiastic, among the three brothers of the Wang family, the eldest Wang Maogen is the most enthusiastic and honest, and the second Wang Shenggen is a little afraid of his wife, and after getting married, he will not help the family much. Li Liang's grandfather died early, if it weren't for the eldest Wang Maogen taking the lead in running the family, plus the help of Li Liang's family, it would be difficult to rely on Li Liang's grandmother alone to raise his brother-in-law Wang Fagen, who was not married at the time, and his younger aunt Wang Xiuyan.

It's just that Wang Maogen is the oldest in the family, and he usually talks or something, and he can only talk to Li Liang's mother Wang Xiulan, and he is not familiar with Li Liang.

The best relationship with Li Liang in the family is Wang Fagen and Wang Xiuyan, their brothers and sisters are less than ten years older than Li Liang, Wang Fagen is now in his early twenties, and Wang Xiuyan is only one month older than Li Liang's sister Li Meng. Therefore, when Li Liang was going to do the business of learning methods and teaching materials last year, he was the first to think of his brother-in-law Wang Fagen, and when Wangke came to the store and was short of people, he was also the first to recommend his aunt Wang Xiuyan.

With the help of Li Liang last year, Wang Fagen bought a TV set for his family when he returned home for the Chinese New Year last year, and also brought a lot of gifts of tobacco and alcohol to his two brothers and sisters-in-law. Wang Maogen and Wang Shenggen's two families said that they were not envious, but that was false. However, envy is envy, let them take the initiative as uncles to open their mouths to their nephew Li Liang, that can't be done.

Later, after the New Year, when they heard their younger brother Wang Fagen say that they had invested in a subsidiary of the cement factory and began to enter the construction industry, the two brothers tentatively spoke to Wang Fagen. At that time, the Jian'an Company had just been established, and it received the business of road repair, and it was the time when there was a shortage of workers.

Wang Fagen made the decision and arranged his two elder brothers to work in Jian'an Company, and they could get a lot of income every month compared to rural farming. After the road was repaired, Wang Fagen saw that Li Liang's house had been completed, and he began to gather the wasteland he bought in Zaozhu Township, so he used his authority to arrange the two elder brothers from the county seat back to Zaozhu to help him build this house.

When Wang Maogen and Wang Shenggen used to work in the Jian'an Company in the county, they ate and lived in the courtyard of the Jian'an Company, and they could only take time to go back to their hometown every month to have a look. Now I have been building a house for my younger brother for two months, not only do I get a salary, but I can also work near my home, and I can go home every day.

Today it happens that the roof of the second floor of this small building is capped, and cast-in-place concrete is required. There were seven or eight workers doing things at the scene, and Wang Maogen and Wang Shenggen chatted with Li Liang's sister and brother for a while before continuing to rush the construction deadline, and did not talk much with Li Liang's sister and brother.

"Mengmeng, Liangzi, this is your brother-in-law's house, and the roof of the second floor will be poured all today. I won't talk to you any more, the bus coming from the direction of Yutian Town may be coming soon, you go and wait for the bus!" Wang Maogen said.

"Okay, uncle, you're busy!"

Li Meng carried the basket and beckoned to the two uncles with Li Liang, and then returned the same way and walked in the direction of Wei Town.

When Li Meng walked away, Li Liang's second uncle Wang Shenggen whispered to his brother Wang Maogen: "Big brother, our mother is really a little eccentric, we can't eat a single chicken she usually raises." Meng Meng and Liangzi came to see her, and she caught two of them at once and brought them back!"

"Sheng Gen, that's not what I said. Xiulan's family used to help the family a lot, and eating two chickens was nothing. And today Mengmeng and Liangzi also brought a few pieces of pork belly over, are you usually willing to buy so much meat at one time?

He knew that his younger brother was a little small-bellied, especially after getting married, his sister-in-law Chen Mengjun was also such a person. When two people with the same personality get together, they always feel that their family is dragging them down.

At that time, the third brother Wang Fagen was not married, and his mother took Wang Fagen and Wang Xiuyan to live together. Under the pretext that his younger brother Wang Shenggen and his sister-in-law Chen Mengjun had just gotten married, their lives were not easy, and they always looked like they couldn't help the difficulties at home.

"Big brother, that's not what I said! My family's Longlong and Chaochao, your family's Chong Chong and Meimei, have never enjoyed such good treatment since they were children at their mother's!" Wang Shenggen was a little tendoned and said a few more words.

Wang Maogen looked at his brother's stubborn face, reprimanded his younger brother for a few words, looked at the few workers around him who were busy, and held back, not wanting to hurt his brother's harmony in front of outsiders, so he didn't say anything more!

Li Liang's two uncles did not hear the conversation between Li Liang and his sister Li Meng. But even if he heard it, Li Liang wouldn't care too much, their family had long known what kind of virtue their second uncle was!
