Chapter 55: A New Home
The five cotton cloths picked out batches of navy blue and snow clear colors and gave them to my uncle's house, and gave my aunt a silver hairpin, a silver hairpin and a pair of bracelets for my cousin, and two pairs of silver studs. www.biquge.info Xu Manliang knew that his sister-in-law was now well-off, and he didn't shirk anymore, they were all a family, so they didn't have to be so polite.
The rest will be handed over to the Xu family for her to keep.
Jin Wanqiu deliberately emphasized that it was given to Heiya, so how to distribute it was also Heiya's business, Xu and Liu's father saw that Heiya was doing a good job, so they didn't say much, but took out thirty taels and handed it to Xu Manliang, which was the money to build a house.
There is no principal in Heiya's family, so the matter of building a house can only be entrusted to her uncle.
At this time, people built houses mainly with wood and mud, because bricks were very expensive, and building a brick house in a poor ravine was very eye-catching. The black girl family is paralyzed and small, and the only half-sized child will be away from home for a long time in the future, although they can now afford to build a brick house, but in order to avoid trouble, they still chose the earthen embryo house.
However, the stone used under the courtyard wall outside is rammed with loess. Their village is surrounded by stone mountains, and Heiya also wonders why everyone doesn't use stones to build houses, and Daddy Liu said that stones are cool and heavy, and they are generally for the dead.
Heiya had already planned to make more money to buy a big yard in the county seat, and the family moved in, but now this house is excessive, so it doesn't matter to her what it looks like.
The people who came to build the house were laborers from the surrounding villages, and each person paid fifteen yuan a day and took care of one meal at noon.
An open-air earthen stove was built near the creek. It's not far away and it's easy to cook.
Xu and his aunt were in charge of cooking, and several daughters-in-law in the village came to help.
Heiya Xiaoya is young, Xu Xiaoman has reached the age of saying that he is a parent, and it is not suitable to show his head more, so the three of them do housework at home, and push Daddy Liu to go outside every day.
Now put the wheelchair on the side of the kang, and Dad Liu can sit on it with both hands.
What makes Heiya happiest is that Dad Liu now massages his legs by himself every day, and asks his mother to help him press his back at night, so that no matter whether he can stand up in the future, at least ensure that the muscles on his legs atrophy more slowly.
After returning from the county seat, under the encouragement of Heiya and her cousin, my uncle bought a cow the next day and made an ox cart by himself.
Every morning before dawn, a few people drove the ox cart to the construction site, and only came back in the evening, and my uncle had to go to pull the materials one by one, which was very hard.
But fortunately, the earth embryo house was built very quickly, and it only took six or seven days to build the house. The previous yard was enlarged a little, and a total of five rooms were built, a stove room, one of which was a studio specially designed to make things for her at the strong request of the black girl. Everyone in the family knows that just a month ago, the ubiquitous hunger followed everyone like maggots, and the family can live such a life now, all of which are earned by the black girl.
The newly built house can not be inhabited immediately, now the weather is hot, it is estimated that it will be almost the same for half a month, the house is all a plate of earthen kang, furniture or something to go back and then slowly added, the uncle took advantage of the time to dry the house and gave them four pine boxes and a table of eight immortals. My cousins were not at home, and my uncle was slower to work alone, but he used real materials, and the workmanship was very fine, and he just waited for another varnish to be completely finished.
Nearly twenty days later, it was the day they officially moved into their new home, and Xiaoshan and they also took leave to rush back.
This is the day when Daddy Liu's leg was injured and Xu felt the most proud, she wanted to have a big show, Daddy Liu was afraid that it would be too flamboyant and disagreed, but he still invited the people in the village to have a meal, and the banquet was considered to be medium to high, four meat dishes, five ingredients and one soup, the amount was enough, and the staple food was a large pot of noodles on the table, mixed with hot oil and seasonings, and the fragrance was fragrant.
For the villagers who will be able to eat enough sorghum buns, it is only possible to eat such a meal during the Chinese New Year, and it is a pity that they can't bring some to their children. Most of the mountain people are simple, basically one out of a family, few drag the family, some of them want to bring their children to see the food, and they generally save their share.
But when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and there are one or two who don't care about their faces, and everyone laughs a few times, just talk about it, after all, life is difficult, and no one is easy.
When the invitation was about to end, most of the people at the banquet had already left, and Heiya went to the room to get something, and suddenly saw Liu Laoshi's daughter-in-law pulling Xiaoya to talk by the wall.
Liu Laoshi is as his name, dull and honest and does not like to talk, every time Heiya sees him in the village, he carries a hoe to the field or comes back from the field.
However, his daughter-in-law Xie Xiang'er always looks shrewd and calculating, among the people who ate the banquet just now, she and another aunt ate and took it, as soon as the meat and vegetables came up, she first set aside half of them and poured them into the big bowl she brought, several dishes were mixed together, sweet and salty were mixed together, how to eat them when they were brought back, not to mention, a few aunts at the same table had opinions, who lacked oil and water in their stomachs, no one was her mother, why was she used to her, and she was considered to have restrained a few times together.
Heiya didn't think much about it, she just thought that she was teasing Xiaoya like other aunts, but later saw Xiaoya constantly shaking her head, she took two steps forward and wanted to pull people, and Heiya walked over, "Xiaoya, why are you here, our mother called you over." After speaking, he glanced at Xie Xiang'er coldly, "Aunt Xiang'er is leaving, my mother told us to go over to work, and I won't send it." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for her to reply, pulled Xiaoya and turned around and left.
"Phew, goblin goblin's dead girl." Xie Xiang'er spat heavily at the corner of the wall. I picked up the big bowl of food on the ground and went back.
"Sister, she asked me what my family was doing to make money, I didn't tell her, she coaxed me and said that if I told her, she would buy me cakes to eat and flowers to wear, and I was not stupid, how could I tell her." Xiaoya looked back at Xie Xiang'er's back with disdain, "I know the calculating mother-in-law." “
"Xiaoya is very smart, whoever asks you in the future will say that you don't know, but it's not right to say that people, no matter what she is, it has nothing to do with us." The black girl touched the little girl's head, "Got it?" ”
Xiaoya stuck out her tongue, "I know sister, I won't say that about her in the future." “
"Well, that's good, it's not just her, it's someone who has nothing to do with us, no matter what he looks like, we don't need to pay attention to it." The black girl stuffed a small piece of maltose into the little girl's mouth, and the little girl put her arms around her sister and smiled.
After eating, one of the villagers who helped go to Yongxizhuang that day prepared a pound of meat and two pounds of noodles, and everyone didn't shirk it, and took it away with a smile, and everyone could see that the Dazhu family was going to get up again.
