Cheng Xiaoyang's face was pale, she was busy with business these days, and her skin was a little more delicate than when she was a worker in the sulfur and zinc mine before, at this time she walked over and helped her daughter and comforted: "Your grandfather was more peaceful when he went, maybe he had expected this kind of outcome." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Yes, today I want to help the museum to return to Chunqiao Town, and we will talk about it when we go home." Liao Heng stood behind his wife and followed the persuasion.

Wu Fen just shed tears, watching the hired helper help her grandfather's coffin out of the funeral home, sitting in the cab of the truck and watching the traffic outside, her little face was full of strength.

Back in Chunqiao Town, Wu Fen first went to see her grandmother who fainted, and then followed her aunt to take care of her grandfather's affairs.

The village chief's house.

Village Chief Cheng looked at the old woman and snickered and accepted the gift in the back room, and then said loudly: "It's not that our village committee is embarrassed, it's actually that Lao Cheng gave birth to three daughters, and he can't go to the ancestral genealogy, so he must have a nephew, which can be sent to the end, and it won't let his vein be broken." ”

Wu Fen watched the old man say all the good things, and turned things back to the original point, so he pushed his aunt down.

Cheng Xiaoyang was furious when he heard these antique words, and he exploded like a cannon barrel: "My daughter can also be sent to the end, why do you have to let my father succeed someone else, don't think I don't understand what you have to think, Cheng Delin has jumped back and forth over the years, and even followed him with the village committee to breathe out of one nostril, have you ever thought about my mother's feelings?" ”

Village Chief Cheng is highly respected in Reservoir Village, and there is no second person who talks to him bluntly like Cheng Xiaoyang, and Cheng Delin is the successor of the village chief he values. He couldn't let go of this mouth.

"Your father and mother have also known the meaning of the village over the years, and besides, it's not your family, several families in the village have done this." Village Chief Cheng was a little angry in his heart, but for the sake of those gifts in the city, he endured this breath, and continued to persuade bitterly: "You are all in the city, even Xiaoqing is close to each other, but she is an honest person, she works slowly, and she can't even turn out three points of her own family's land, which is really impossible to expect her to take care of Granny Cheng." So succeeded Delin. It's good for everyone. The fields can help with planting, and every year send some rice and vegetables to Granny Cheng to eat, and he can also help you if you have any colds and flu. And what about you. It's just about paying for a house. You can't think of such a good thing. ”

"All Uncle Delin wants is his grandmother's house and a pigpen. But this is the ancestral home of the Cheng family, and we can't give it up even if we can't live in other places. After all, everyone comes back once a year during Qingming and July and a half. Wu Fen saw that the village chief put the house on the bright side, and simply said that he didn't want to give up the ancestral house to outsiders.

When Village Chief Cheng heard this, he kept a straight face, but he refused to give in.

When I returned to Cheng's house, I happened to see Aunt Cheng sitting in the hall with Cheng Delin, and Cheng Xiaolan next to her responded embarrassedly.

"Come back, come to my house for dinner in the evening, and you guys won't fire." Aunt Cheng got up with her son and said politely to Cheng Xiaoyang.

"My mom is a little uncomfortable, so she still won't go, wait for another day." Cheng Xiaoyang was also very enthusiastic on his face, his eyes looked straight into the inner room, and this nervous appearance made Aunt Cheng not want to force it anymore.

"Then another day." Aunt Cheng replied curtly.

Cheng Delin lifted the greens from the basket, looked at Wu Fen and Cheng Xiaoyang and said, "This is picked in my own field, you can taste it, I have already filled that water tank." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Delin." Wu Fen took the basket and put it on the side of the stove in the hall, followed behind to see the two leave.

"No need to send it, Fenfen, you can go back." Aunt Cheng saw that today's goal had not been achieved, and she had no interest in chatting with Wu Fen, so she directly rejected Wu Fen's send-off.

"Then Grandma Cheng and Uncle Delin are easy to go." Wu Fen saw that the two of them changed their faces instantly, and they stood on the steps, without any further steps.

Cheng Delin saw it in his eyes, and after pulling his mother away, he scolded: "Why haven't Wu Fen seen you for a year, you have to be so shrewd, you were polite just now, but she listened to your words directly, and she was reluctant to send a few more steps." ”

"Okay, do you still want to build a house?" Aunt Cheng scolded directly, and when she saw her daughter-in-law in the outhouse chopping pigweed, she vented her anger directly on her: "You lazy person, everyone else is working in the factory outside to make money, but you make me lose money, and even chopping pigweed is slower than others, what do you say you will do besides eating?" ”

"Mom, you just asked me to go out to pick up tea seeds, and I just came back." Wei Yinhua wore her hair scattered, her face was covered with grass and wood ash, and she looked at her mother-in-law timidly with a pair of small eyes.

"Dare to talk back, your sister Jinhua won't give birth to cubs, and you are also a person who only enters and can't leave, see if I don't kill you." Aunt Cheng has always said the same thing at home, but when she saw her daughter-in-law's dirty face, she was even more angry, so she picked up a pair of tongs from the stove and greeted her daughter-in-law.

"Ah......, Mom, I don't dare anymore, you spare me......" Wei Yinhua was pressed by her mother-in-law in the ditch in front of the house, and her mother-in-law held tongs in her left hand and poured a scoop of urine on her head in her right hand.

When Aunt Cheng was finally too busy to have the strength to let go of her daughter-in-law, she kicked her calf hard with her foot before returning to the hall.

And Cheng Delin was sitting on the bed watching TV and singing a little song, and he was cocking his orchid fingers with interest and singing along with a sharp voice.

Aunt Cheng saw that her son was learning this indecent thing again, so she hurriedly walked over and turned off the TV.

"Mom, what do you want to do, and let people be quiet?"

"I just turned off the TV when you were quiet, and I asked you, what should the big-bellied woman in your factory do?" Aunt Cheng was widowed when she was young, and she dragged her two sons to grow up, and finally let them marry a daughter-in-law, but she was still worried about their lives.

Cheng Delin covered his ears and didn't want to listen, he didn't know what to do, so he simply shouted: "Knock it out, it was just for fun, the girls in those factories in the south are very easy to deceive, just a few suppers, she will be dead set on you." ”

"That's not good, why don't you bring someone back, didn't you say that girl is young?" Aunt Cheng has long wanted to change her daughter-in-law, and anyway, girls from other places don't want any dowry. Sent to the door in vain, how could she refuse.

"Well, you can do it, anyway, I want to stay in the village and wait for the successor, I have a good future in the future, and I am tired of seeing Yinhua." Cheng Delin frowned, he was over thirty-five years old, he had his own thoughts, but he didn't dare to say it because of his mother's prestige.

Aunt Cheng saw that her son was obedient, so she went out to urge her daughter-in-law to cook.

After eating in the evening, Aunt Cheng drove her daughter-in-law to the miscellaneous house to weave hemp and mosquito nets. He and his son sat in the hall with a pampas fan to rest in the hall.

"Delin. There may be changes in the succession, and we have to figure it out slowly. Aunt Cheng thought that her dead ghost husband could read the art of war book, and she only remembered these four words, so she took it out to teach her son.

"What about the house?" Cheng Delin didn't want the boiled duck to fly.

"Don't worry. I mean, now the daughter of the Cheng family has a little self-interest. Especially that Wu Fen. Don't you see that her little face looks much better than before? She was admitted to college again, and we had to deal with her, so the house thing could only be secretly tricked. ”

"What is Mommy going to do?" Cheng Delin's eyes were shining. stared straight at Aunt Cheng.

Aunt Cheng didn't sell it, and leaned next to her son and whispered: "Next year, we will start laying the foundation, occupy one meter first, and then try their bottom line." ”

"That old woman is going to make trouble."

"It's okay, we all occupy it anyway, she can't tear down the foundation of the house. In two years, we will have a better relationship with them, and occupy a part of the foundation, and when the old woman dies, we will move more and occupy half of the foundation. "Aunt Cheng is good at careful calculation, she uses this idea as a backup, anyway, Cheng Liu has always had a good face, so she will slowly take advantage of her.

"This is the foundation, but what about the house she lives in now?" Cheng Delin wants both the foundation and the house.

"You should die of the house, she and Cheng Daman's family each occupy half, we still don't want to think about it."

Cheng Delin was unwilling and complained in a low voice: "It's just a soldier, why are you afraid of Cheng Daman's family?" ”

Aunt Cheng pinched her son's arm for a while, and scolded with hatred: "What do you know, don't you know that his son has hepatitis B and can go to the military academy, is this comparable to ordinary soldiers?" You don't have to think about it, his son is a good pen handwriting, a child born in the countryside, still has this disease, but can stay in the army, which means that the upper authorities value him and are willing to spend money to treat him. Is this a paved road to promotion, which can be compared to our family background? ”

"Well, Cheng Xiaowei is quite capable, I heard that his wife is still from the city, with fine skin and tender meat, and she is still a nurse." Cheng Delin is nine years older than Cheng Dewei, and he used to look down on his dull and taciturn, but when he joined the army, he was more elongated than him.

Aunt Cheng sighed, told her son to go to bed early, and went to Cheng's house tomorrow to help, so she directly locked the door of the hall and went into the back room to sleep.

Wei Yinhua, who was in the miscellaneous house outside, looked at the hall enviously, but she didn't dare to break the movements of her hands, and the yawns in her mouth bubbled out one after another, but she forced herself until four o'clock before she fell asleep soundly against a wooden plank.

The next day, Wu Fen made a big bowl of chili eggplant, fried a plate of fried tofu, cooked a pot of noodles, packed it in a sea bowl, and went to the hall to wash her hands, and then sat on the stone bench at the door with a sea bowl and ate it.

"There is a funeral today, let's eat quickly, and the aunt who came to help in the village will come over. By the way, Liao Heng, have you contacted the movie? Cheng Xiaoyang yawned and ate the noodles.

"If you get in touch, if you show a movie for three days in a row, you will have to spend more than 3,000 yuan more." Liao Heng came out of the back room, he was too busy last night, and he didn't sleep much.

Wu Fen heard this outside, went into the back room and counted five thousand yuan out, "I'll come out with this money." ”

"The village chief hasn't done it yet, and it's still a problem to bury him today." Cheng Xiaolan helped her mother go out, everyone was busy last night, but this matter can't be hanging, it must be solved.

"Don't worry, I'll go find the village chief and the patriarch." Wu Fen finished eating the noodles in the sea bowl in a few bites, and the smell of garlic and chili pepper made her feel a little moved, she glanced at the coffin placed in the offering hall, said a word to her family, and left with her bag.

Before he reached the door of the village chief's house, Wu Fen met Liu Liuzi and Liu Qianduo.

Liu Qian is so thinner than before, his hair is shaved into a casserole, and he is wearing a clean light blue T-shirt, and he looks very energetic.

"How did you get here?" Wu Fen stopped and squinted slightly.

Liu Liuzi didn't see it at all, he smiled when he saw Wu Fen, the facial features on his face were crowded together, licked the tobacco on his lower lip, leaned forward while leaning forward, and said flatteringly: "I knew about Old Man Cheng's death yesterday, so I didn't bring more money to come and help." ”

Wu Fen saw that the three people standing at the door of the village chief's house were not good-looking, so he took people to the front lawn.

"Qian Duo seems to be mixing quite well." After standing still, Wu Fen first praised him, and his tone was like that of an elder.

Liu Qian touched the back of his head, and the corners of his mouth pulled twice, "I don't dare to be it, I'm just helping Boss Peng work." ”

"Peng? Is it the second son of the county magistrate? ”

"Oh, he can afford it, I'm doing things in his hands now, and now the progress is much faster than before, and I have poured several piles of concrete." When it came to Boss Peng, Liu Qianduo admired him so much that he even talked more. "Our boss is very good to the migrant workers below, if the weather is rainy, in addition to the food expenses, they will also give subsidies, which is much better than other migrant workers in Baotou."

Wu Fen heard it in his ears, and he had some doubts in his heart. "How are your safety measures, and do you have any safety technology disclosure for the usual sub-projects?"

"That's just a few pieces of paper, we have hard hats and safety ropes, but every time we dig a pile foundation, we protect the wall once, and I'm not used to carrying these."

"There really haven't been any safety incidents?" Wu Fen thought of the previous rumors, and didn't believe that Liu Qianduo said it so easily. "Does the project department send technicians to regularly check the safety?"

"Yes, the above requirements can be strict, and the casing must be checked before pouring concrete every time, and some other material inspections are frequent."

"Then you still have to pay attention, I think you better go back to the sixth uncle to help, there will always be danger at the construction site." Wu Fen felt that in addition to the safety accident before the start of construction, there may be potential safety hazards afterward, especially the pile foundation team is Peng Chumin's.

Liu Liuzi took over the conversation next to him and handed over the things he brought for Heling: "That's what I mean, when the New Year is over, he will stay in the Internet café to help." ”

Wu Fen took the package, looked back and forth, and asked about the situation in Liuzi's store.

"My Internet café business is very good, there are more students, and people often book nights. The supermarket has also opened, and now the wholesale sales are good, and I rarely retail. Liu Liuzi spat out a puff of smoke rings, and then said, "Your business is better than mine." (To be continued.) )
