strong> Chapter 48 Repair the House

Fang Hua swayed the pumpkin seeds to the open space where people in the village often gathered, and met a few men walking by with ladders and shovels, and she took a few curious glances. After walking to the side of a few women who had gathered together to do work, she leaned over and couldn't help but ask a woman she knew well: "I just saw the three elders and a few people going to the west with shovels and ladders, what are they going to do?"

The woman pretended to be strange and asked, "You don't know?" After all, Fang Hua was famous for her love of inquiry, and she could always know what was going on in the village. What's more, this matter has something to do with the other party.

Fang Hua spit out the skin of the pumpkin seeds, and when she heard the other party's voice, it seemed that she had something to do with her, so she became even more curious: "What do I know?"

Another woman whispered: "You know about Yuan Anping coming back with Huo Xiaohan, right?"

"I know, I heard that I came back in a carriage, and I don't know what the stinky show is. Anping is really, you can't spend money like this. When she first heard about it, she didn't know what it was like to ride in a carriage when she was so big.

The woman didn't answer her sour words, and continued, "Let me tell you. Huo Xiaohan broke off his relationship with Huo Laohei, so naturally he couldn't go home to live anymore. If you want to live with Yuan Anping, it's not right, I heard that I rented the courtyard of Zhou Laosi's house. But the house has been idle for a few days, and you can't live in it directly, no, your eldest brother and sister-in-law Zhang Luo said that they wanted to help him repair the house. ”

Fang Hua couldn't help but say in a weird way: "They are really caring." ”

Several women laughed secretly in their hearts when they heard her say this. Who doesn't know that the two of them love to take advantage of others, and now Yuan Anping looks like he should have some money, and their husband and wife must be red-eyed, but unfortunately the relationship was too stiff before, and they couldn't come to the door to fight the autumn breeze.

A woman who couldn't get used to seeing Fang Hua smiled and said, "It's not, Anping is their own nephew, as an uncle, he naturally cares." ”

Fang Hua pouted: "What's the heart, it's not that thought, who can't figure it out." Besides, Anping is really, even if he is unclear with Huo Xiaohan, he even breaks off his blood relationship, in vain he is still a scholar, and he doesn't know how to accumulate some virtue for himself. ”

A woman hurriedly interrupted him and whispered: "Fang Hua, don't talk nonsense! The village chief can say, Huo Xiaohan and his family are in conflict, and they are destined to have no kinship, and they can't help but break off their relatives because of their blood relatives. ”

Another said, "yes, yes." In the final analysis, it is a last resort, otherwise who is willing to break off their relatives. ”

Several other women chimed in. Anyway, what the village chief said is right, at least this statement will not damage the reputation of the village, this kind of thing related to everyone's interests, in fact, how can you mutter in your heart, but it can't be passed on.

The so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, and it is not easy for a village with a bad reputation to marry a man or a daughter, so no villager is allowed to do anything that hinders the reputation of the village, and what mistakes the villagers make are mostly dealt with by the village rules. And Yuan Anping's actions, if it weren't for the village chief's pity on Huo Xiaohan, it wouldn't have been so smooth at all. Fang Hua is not stupid, and she doesn't talk about this topic anymore.

"Okay, okay, who doesn't understand in their hearts, I just don't say it. Fang Hua thought of something and got up: "I still have to go home beforehand." ”

When a woman saw Fang Hua leaving, she smiled and asked others, "You say, will Fang Hua also go over?"

The others couldn't help but laugh and said, "I guess, with her love to take advantage, she will definitely go back." ”

"I guess so, after all, it was his eldest brother and sister-in-law who took the lead, and they were embarrassed to come forward. ”

"That is, even if they are thick-skinned, they don't care if they don't want to see them in their hearts. ”

………………

Fang Hua returned home and saw that there was no one in the yard, so she went into the back room, and sure enough, she saw her husband who had slept in the quilt after lunch.

stepped forward and pushed the snoring Yuan Genshuo: "Wake up, wake up, don't sleep, I have something to tell you." ”

Yuan Genshuo, who was disturbed to sleep, was very impatient: "Die, you, don't disturb me to sleep!"

Fang Hua was not afraid of him, and continued to stretch out her hand to pull the other party: "Wake up, I really have something to tell you." ”

Yuan Genshuo pulled the quilt angrily, and his eyes didn't open: "What's the matter?"

Fang Hua sat on the edge of the bed: "Yuan Anping's kid is back, you know." Seeing that the other party didn't snort, she continued: "He came back with Huo Xiaohan, saying that he rented Zhou Laosi's house for him. Your eldest brother and sister-in-law are helping that Huo Xiaohan repair the house. ”

"What's the matter with me?" Yuan Genshuo turned his back to Fang Hua impatiently: "Okay, you go out, don't bother me to sleep." ”

Fang Hua didn't let him sleep, and pushed him again: "You know to sleep!" I'll tell you, you get up, let's go over and help." ”

"You're dreaming, I'm working for that dead boy, you're having a bad brain!" Yuan Gen sat up angrily, "Say, what do you mean?" He also knows his daughter-in-law, like him, she is a master who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles, how can she rush forward if it's not beneficial.

Fang Hua saw that he was completely awake, so she whispered to him: "That kid in Anping seems to have gained a lot of money, so let's take the opportunity to have a better relationship with him." ”

Yuan Genshuo didn't care: "You can pull it down, let's have a dead knot with him, you better rest, don't fix those useless ones." He said that he was going to lie down again.

Fang Hua glared at him: "Why are you so dead-eyed? Let's take the initiative to come to the door to repair, he, as a junior, can still bring us back?" Besides, he is a scholar, and a scholar values reputation the most, even if he doesn't wait to see us again, he can't be disrespectful to us, and when the time comes, it will be he who will suffer. ”

Yuan Genshuo was not happy: "That said, he doesn't want to see us in his heart, what's the benefit of us rushing to help?

Fang Hua smiled and said her thoughts: "Even if we don't have a good relationship with him, we can at least have a good meal in the past, and we won't suffer no matter how you say it." ”

Yuan Genshuo heard it and felt that it was right, to ask the people in the village to help with a meal, and there must be a meat dish, he also wanted to eat meat, so he agreed: "Okay, but you don't have to go so early, just hurry up and go to the meal." ”

Fang Hua didn't want to work either, she agreed with her husband's idea: "If you don't go so early, you have to go over and make a show before dinner." ”

"Okay. Where did Dafu go, take him with him when the time comes. ”

…………………………

Yuan Gensheng took people to the courtyard of Zhou Laosi's house, and asked his daughter-in-law Zhou Xiangzhi to talk to Yuan Anping, and let them go over and decide which house to build first.

Zhou Xiangzhi came to Yuan Anping's house and said to Yuan Anping: "Everyone has been found, you two should also go over and have a look, choose a house to come out, repair it quickly, don't delay Xiaohan's stay." ”

Yuan Anping and Zhong Sun Rui, who also wanted to go over to help, said: "Xiao Rui, you stay at home to take care of your grandfather, and pay attention to it, don't let these three little guys go into the house and pull around." ”

Zhong Sun Rui nodded obediently.

Seeing Zhong Sunrui and leaving the courtyard, Zhou Xiangzhi couldn't help but ask Yuan Anping: "Anping, whose child is that?" ”

"My Master's grandson. Then he briefly talked about the experience of the grandfather and grandson.

Zhou Xiangzhi was surprised to hear that he had taken in two more people, but seeing that he didn't look reluctant at all, he didn't say anything. I also heard him say that he is a master, and in their opinion, a teacher for one day and a father for life, and a master who is an apprentice should also take care of the master.

Yuan Gensheng took more than a dozen people to the courtyard of Zhou Laosi's house, because there were quite a lot of families, so in addition to the two main houses that had been around for a long time, there were also two wing rooms on the east and west sides. He looked at the six rooms, and especially went into a few rooms to look at the situation, and discussed with the people who came: "The two main houses are too broken, the two houses in the east wing look good, and they are bright when they live in. ”

When Yuan Anping and the others entered the courtyard, they saw more than a dozen people gathered in the courtyard.

Yuan Anping looked at Huo Xiaohan and motioned for him to step forward to thank him, which could be regarded as exercising him to try to get along with others.

After Huo Xiaohan saw Yuan Anping's gaze, he plucked up his courage and stepped forward to thank the helper: "Thank you uncles and brothers for your help, I'm tired of you." ”

These men are very talkative, and they all said: "Don't be so polite. ”

"Yes, yes, it's all from the same village, so you should do a little favor. ”

Huo Xiaohan felt everyone's kindness and immediately relaxed a lot

…………

Yuan Gensheng said to Huo Xiaohan: "I think the east wing is the best, the house is bright, and it is newer than the main house." ”

Huo Xiaohan hurriedly said: "You are more experienced, it is all up to you." ”

Seeing that he agreed, Motogen Sheng beckoned everyone to start working. The man started digging the soil and mud, the woman helped clean up the yard, and Huo Xiaohan also got busy.

Yuan Anping walked around and found that he was useless, so he pulled Uncle Yuan to the side and asked, "Uncle, can you repair both rooms in the East Wing today?" There are still two people who want to live here, and two rooms are enough. ”

Yuan Gensheng curiously asked who else wanted to live, and then estimated it and said, "Yes, this house is not bad, just re-stick some thatch and fix the roof." ”

Hearing him say this, Yuan Anping was relieved, and then asked Yuan Gensheng in a low voice: "Uncle, I have to invite them to eat some dishes in the evening." Do you have any special requests for this dish?"

Yuan Gensheng said in a low voice: "It's nothing, you just have to have meat dishes, otherwise you won't look good on your face, and it won't be easy to invite someone to work in the future." ”

If you want meat dishes, although there is still a lot of meat in the space of Yuan Anping, there are more than ten strong laborers here, and they can eat one by one, so it's not good for them to be full. Thinking that it was quite cold on this day, he said to Uncle Yuan: "Uncle, what do you think about making a mutton soup with a sheep? Make two large pots of mutton soup, add some cabbage vermicelli, the amount is enough, and then steam some cakes, and it is still warm to eat." ”

Yuan Gensheng said in a low voice: "Success is success, is it too expensive to get a whole sheep." If you want me to see it, it's better to have two chickens, and then let your aunt fry two vegetarian dishes, it's good to have meat and vegetarian dishes. ”

"It's easier to make mutton soup, and you don't need to stir-fry the vegetables. "If these people eat two chickens, they won't get much meat for each person. Yuan Anping mainly felt that it was much more convenient to cook a few dishes and stew in one pot, so he said: "This looks like it's about to enter the wax moon, buy a sheep, and let's keep the rest for ourselves." ”

Yuan Gensheng thought about it and thought it was okay: "This is also done." Lao Liu's family has a few sheep, I'll help you pick one. ”

Yuan Anping took out the money: "I have to trouble you in this matter." ”

Yuan Gensheng didn't shirk it, it was naturally better for adults to come forward for this kind of thing, and he took the money: "Then I'll go and give the sheep now, let them kill and send them." ”

"Uncle, help me keep a leg of mutton. ”

"Okay. ”

Here, Zhou Xiangzhi took a few people to pack up the sundries in a few rooms to the corner of the yard and pile them up, and after cleaning up the kitchen, he asked Huo Xiaohan, who was sweeping the floor: "Xiaohan, have you bought pots and pans?"

Huo Xiaohan stopped his movements: "I bought it, put it at Brother Anping's place." ”

Zhou Xiangzhi put down the cloth towel in his hand: "I'll go with you to bring the pots and bowls, and take the opportunity to ask them to help you set up a stove." ”

"Good. Huo Xiaohan looked at the figure of Yuan Anping in the courtyard, and saw him standing not far from the gate talking to his cousin Zhuzi, so he said to Zhou Xiangzhi: "I'll go talk to Brother Anping." With that, he ran over.

The woman who helped together looked at Yuan Anping and Huo Xiaohan, who were standing together and talking, and said to Zhou Xiangzhi with a smile: "This looks, the two of them are quite compatible." ”

"Yes, it's also fate. ”

Zhou Xiangzhi smiled and did not answer. 166 Reading Network
