Chapter 64 Livelihood Issues
The house was on the beam, and Sang Yu went to the town. Most of the people in the village use that kind www.biquge.info of coarse tiles, which can be bought for ten for a penny, and she doesn't want to use that, not to mention the roughness, and it is particularly fragile. In the end, she set a blue tile of three pieces for a penny, because she wanted a lot, and finally said that the price was four pieces for a penny.
Sang Yu was very satisfied and paid the deposit first.
After the house was built, Lin Dashan and the others used some broken stones to build a yard. I just haven't put the gate on yet.
On the day the house was completely completed, Sang Yu took Uncle Niu's car to the town on the fourth watch. She went to see the house, which was not as good as the modern one, but much better than the thatched house. And it's not yet November, so she can move in early.
I bought a large cart of vegetables, chicken, duck, fish and everything. I also bought a lot of candy and snacks, and when Jiang and Zhang came over, Sang Yu had already bought things and came back. I'm cleaning up in the kitchen.
As soon as Jiang Zhang entered the kitchen, he couldn't help but be startled when he saw the pile of things on the table.
"Sang Yu, what are you doing, why do you buy so many vegetables?"
Although the weather is cooling, how long can you keep so many dishes? It will be broken in five or six days at most. And it's all good food. Look at the chickens and ducks, and all those fat hooves.
My day, it's the New Year, no one is willing to spend so much money on these dishes, it's good to have two or three on the table, if the family is poor, you can eat one, it's enough to think about a year.
Jiang looked at the pile on the table, his eyes straightened. Even Zhang's was so shocked that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.
Although it is said that the Wang family picks the door, she also depends on people. For Lin Dafa and Lin Dabao Lin Erbao, they are very generous, and if they have anything to eat or cloth at home, they all think about them first. Sometimes Lin Lanxiang returned to her parents' house from the town and brought a lot of things, and the Wang family also took them all. can't be put for too long, it is also for Lin Dafa and Lin Dabao Lin Erbao to eat, if anyone clips a chopstick, the Wang family will scold people by grabbing the sky. Only Lin Dashi can eat a few bites, others, you don't even think about it.
But even in the Lin family, she has never seen so many good things together.
At this time, Zhang's admired Sang Yu so much, and he was guessing why she was so rich.
Sang Yu said with a smile while sorting out his things, "I thought that the house at home might be completed today, but I went to see it yesterday, and only the fence was not repaired." I just want to invite everyone to dinner, and thank them for their help these days. ”
Jiang didn't expect Sang Yu to think like this, didn't he invite him not long ago? At that time, there were more than a dozen tables. Most of the families in the village came, and Wang couldn't say that, not because he heard Chen say that there was a lot of meat on the table.
It's just that if you invite it again so quickly, Jiang looked at that pile of things, it was better than the last treat, how much money did it cost. It made the Jiang family and the Zhang family feel so distressed that their flesh jumped.
The lunch meal was no different from usual. After everyone had eaten, they sat down in the courtyard to rest. Sang Yu called Lin Dashan to the kitchen, told him that he was going to invite everyone to dinner, and said that he would let Lin Dashan go out and tell them to let the family come together.
Lin Dashan was the one who listened to Sang Yu the most, and he didn't feel sorry for the money, and when he heard Sang Yu say this, he happily agreed. I went out into the courtyard and told everyone.
On weekdays, Lin Dashan's house already eats very well, there is still meat every meal, and he receives wages, and everyone refuses to say anything. In the end, Lin Dashan said, the vegetables have been bought, if they don't come, there will be so many dishes, there will be only two of them, and there will be no way to finish eating, and they will be broken.
If you don't go, the dishes won't be able to last for a few days, and you will have to waste a lot of money. Thinking that Lin Dashan had just built a house, he probably didn't have any money on hand. Forget it, just eat, it's a big deal where he wants to help in the future, just take a hand yourself.
In the afternoon, it only took more than an hour for the unfinished courtyard wall to be completed, and because it was still early, and they had all done their work, everyone said that they would go home and wash. Lin Dashan had received Sang Yu's instructions earlier, and only added a sentence at the end, "When you come to eat in the evening, remember to call all the family members." Otherwise, the dish will be wasted. ”
Everyone nodded and left.
Lin Dashan's house was finally built. He stood in the yard, although the yard was still very dirty, but it was also his own home.
After standing for a while, Lin Dashan went back. Sang Yu is still busy, he has to go back to help.
Lin Dayou and He Dayou also went back to change their clothes, so they came over to help.
Even Lin Chunfeng and Lin Chunyu were not idle, they were young, squatting aside to pick vegetables.
Throughout the afternoon, Sang Yu was not idle. In the evening, people came one after another, some with children, Sang Yu borrowed some benches from He Da, it was not enough, the adults sat on the bench and chatted, and the children ran and played in the yard. Sang Yu took out some of the candy and snacks she bought from the town, and each child divided a few pieces. Where do children usually eat this, they eat it, and it is very rare. The child's mother was originally a little afraid of Sangyu, but seeing that she didn't distinguish between each other and didn't care about the money, and gave the children food, she was much less worried, and some even took the initiative to talk to her. Sang Yu only smiled.
That night, Lin Dashan was very lively here, and other people in the village passed by the door, and they all stretched out their heads to look inside, and only after a glance did they know that it was Lin Dashan who invited those who helped to eat as a family.
At this meal, there were chickens, ducks, fish, and fat pig's trotters on the table. These dishes are not complete in the Chinese New Year. Now, it's all eaten.
After this meal, many people were saying that Lin Dashan was different now. When the Wang family heard this, they couldn't wait to bite off a piece of Sangyu's meat.
The house was built. It took Sang Yu a few days to tidy up and clean the inside, and then she started moving.
There was no furniture in the house, and the original furniture was very old. Sang Yu thought about it and decided to go to the town to have a look, and if he met a suitable piece of furniture, he bought it and shipped it back.
Only, she bought a lot of this one, and women are born shopaholics. Sang Yu thought about it, but decided to give Lin Dayou all the original furniture. Anyway, there are many of them, and the original furniture is definitely not enough. If you move to a new house by yourself, the furniture is still new.
Zhang was naturally very happy. Now is the time when they are short of money, and they can save a little bit. Besides, there are still some furniture that Lin Dashan is newly made, but Sang Yu thinks it's not good-looking, so he doesn't want it. It still works.
In this way, Sang Yu moved to a new home. Lin Dayou and the Zhang family also moved to the place where Sang Yu originally lived.
Although the house was built, Sang Yu was happy for two days, and his brows furrowed again.
Why.
It turned out that she had already spent twenty taels of silver to build the house. I still have five taels left in my hand.
Five taels, what can I do. What's worse is that she hasn't come up with a way to make money so far.
Lin Dashan saw that she was so anxious that she lost weight, and he hated himself even more for being incompetent, and he had to let his daughter-in-law worry about the family.
Since Lin Dashan's house was built, Wang's heart was like a stone, not to mention Wang's, even Lin Dafa's heart was extremely uncomfortable.
Once upon a time, a person he looked down on so much now lives in one of the best houses in the village. When I looked at myself again, it was still this mud-walled and tiled house, crowded together with a large number of people. It's really annoying to be noisy every day. Especially now that the village is saying that most of the elders of the Lin family are promising, they completely ignore him, who is literate and literate.
I hate Wang's stinginess again, thinking that I have so many bundles every year, most of them are given to Wang, and I only keep a little to buy wine to drink, even Chen and his two sons, if they want to use money, they are looking for Wang's to get it. Now, his useless eldest brother has built a new house, but he still lives in this shabby place. Lin Dafa was full of resentment at the moment.
When I was eating at night, I saw that the table was full of vegetarian dishes, and there was not even a little meat foam, and I remembered that I went to Lin Dashan's house to eat that day, and there were several pots of meat on the table, and so many people were invited. The more Lin Dafa thought about it, the more angry he became, and he threw his chopsticks on the table suddenly, "I eat these every day, I don't have any meat at all, and I have to eat vegetables in my mouth." I didn't eat it. ”
Everyone didn't expect Lin Dafa to have such a move, in their opinion, Lin Dafa is the most unpopular person, he cares more about fame, and he doesn't care about these things at all.
Besides, for so many years, I have eaten these. I haven't seen anyone say anything. Besides, even if someone said something, they could still be able to defeat the Wang family. As long as the Wang family is willing, it is feasible to eat these clear soups and little water for the rest of their lives.
Only Lin Dafa is not a casual person, he is the most proud son of the Wang family. Seeing that Lin Dafa dropped his chopsticks, the old man Lin didn't look good on his face, and the Wang family was still serving vegetables to his two grandsons, so he immediately stood up and asked nervously, "What's wrong, Erlang, but these dishes are not to your taste." ”
In fact, the Wang family doesn't like to eat vegetables every day, but it costs money to buy meat, and if the meat doesn't cost money, whoever still eats vegetables will eat meat. Wang has always been the most stingy person, she is good herself, there are a lot of good things hidden in the house, when there is no one at home, she hides in the house and secretly eats alone. Therefore, even if she eats vegetables every day, she can still grow a body of fat.
Lin Dafa held back his anger and said, "Mother, I give you so much silver every year, can't you buy some meat at home to eat?" Eating vegetables every day has long been boring. If you are reluctant to buy meat to eat, then I will ask Chan to buy it. Meat is not how expensive it is, how much can it cost. ”
As soon as Chen heard what Lin Dafa just said to let him buy it in the future, he couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart, did this mean that his shackles would be handed over to him in the future.
When Chen thought that he would have money in his hands in the future, he suddenly felt that even his waist was stiff. For so many years, the family's money was in the hands of the Wang family, and even if they wanted to buy a needle, they had to ask for money from the Wang family. Chan has long had enough of such days. She also complained to Lin Dafa many times in secret, and every time Lin Dafa ignored her. She thought that only when the Wang family died could she be a real housekeeper. I didn't expect that tonight, Lin Dafa would suddenly say such a thing, and Chen felt that a huge pie had smashed on his head.
Of course, Chen thought of it, and Wang naturally thought of it. She panicked, but she maintained a smile on her face, "What are you talking about, kid." If you want to eat meat, just tell your mother, and your mother will buy it. Where is reluctant, it's not easy to just think that you make money. Your daughter-in-law is still young, how can she manage so much money. So be it. You go to the house to read a book for a while, and my mother will buy you meat. So saying, he got up.
In fact, Lin Dafa didn't really want to eat meat, after so many years, he didn't care about what he ate, he just felt uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but take the opportunity to lose his temper.
Seeing that the Wang family was really leaving, Lin Dafa only frowned and said, "Okay, mother, don't go, let's leave it like this tonight." You sit down first, I have something to say. ”
The Wang family really planned to go out to buy meat, she really loved Lin Dafa, knowing that there was no meat in the village, thinking that Sang Yu's family bought a lot some time ago, and maybe there was still left. Say two good words by yourself, and she will probably agree.
Just listen to Lin Dafa, he has to say something else. I just sat down.
Lin Dafa rarely speaks on weekdays, and he never asks about family matters. This was the first time he had spoken so solemnly. Even Old Man Lin put down his chopsticks and looked at him.
Lin Dafa cleared his throat before he said slowly, "Now, the eldest brother's family has also built a house, I think about so many people in our family, and I have a lot of restraints over the years, can I also take a break from the house at home." It's not good, I'm a literati, and in the future, Dabao Erbao will take the fame test, and I will still live in such a house. ”
The meaning of Lin Dafa's words is that he thinks that Lin Dashan's house is better, he has always thought that he is better than Lin Dashan, and if he wants to live, he must be better than Lin Dashan.
Chen was still dissatisfied, but when he heard Lin Dafa talk about the house, he wondered if the family's house would be built separately. These days, what the village talks about the most is how good and good Lin Dashan's new house is, and the Chen family has long been angry when they hear it, but they can't find a place to vent. Now that I heard Lin Dafa's words, I suddenly felt that the anger in my stomach was gone, and if the family built a new house, I would be able to raise my eyebrows.
Wang lowered her eyes, she was also thinking. Although the family's money is enough, it will be gone when it is available. Besides, it took her decades to save so much, even her own son, and she couldn't bear it.
Old man Lin also thinks the same way, besides, this house was built by his own hands with hard work, and he has lived for so many decades, and he has feelings. This house is still so new, where can I build a new one? However, what the son said is also right, the two grandsons will have a great future in the future, where can they live in such a house, and they will be laughed at if they become officials in the future.
After hesitating for a long time, he said slowly, "Let's talk about this later." I'll think about it first. ”
The meal was eaten in silence.
Except for the two children, everyone couldn't calm down.
Over there, Sang Yu took a bath and went to lie on the bed. In the new house, she has a large room by herself, and there is a two-meter-wide bed in the room, which is not very cold now, and there is only one layer of cushion on the bed, and then a thin quilt. In addition, there is a wardrobe in four compartments, a dresser. She was really not used to sleeping in the same room with other people, and it was a man. Although Lin Dashan treats her very well, she is only fifteen years old and is still a child, she can't accept that she slept with a man when she was underage, whether she is traditional or hypocritical, she just can't stand it anyway.
Lin Dashan moved out after being silent for a while.
Sang Yu felt a little sorry for him, made a lot of delicious food at night, and wanted to compensate him. Kelin Dashan didn't seem to have much appetite, and he couldn't even match the usual amount of food, and the dishes on his plate were almost untouched.
After cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Sang Yu took a bath, and then lay on the bed with his eyes open, unable to sleep. Otherwise, let Lin Dashan come in and sleep, just like before. As long as you don't sleep with yourself, there's nothing.
Sang Yu quickly climbed out of bed, walked to the door, and stopped again. She held the door in her hand, and was about to open it, but she didn't want to open it.
She couldn't make up her mind.
In the end, Lin Dashan still slept in another room.
Lin Dashan was very depressed for a while, obviously Sang Yu was his daughter-in-law, but he wanted to sleep separately from him, and the sleeping couple was like this. I wondered if Sang Yu didn't like him yet, so he didn't sleep with him.
Thinking of this, Lin Dashan lowered his head. In his opinion, a person as beautiful as Sang Yu, not to mention his good looks, can still make money, and speaks in a good voice, much better than those women in the village. Where is what you can deserve? Now that she has become her daughter-in-law, she is her own blessing, where can she ask for so much. Maybe it won't be long before Sang Yu will accept herself. Thinking like this, Lin Dashan was not angry. When he was free, he went hunting in the mountains, and Sang Yu had enough meat to eat, and he didn't want to eat it, so he asked Lin Dashan to go to the town to sell the game he had hunted.
It's also luck. On weekdays, the streets are sold with domestic chickens and ducks, and there are very few of these wild things. Not that there aren't, it's just very few. Lin Dashan often goes to the mountains, but he can get a lot of game.
I was accidentally seen by a restaurant. The restaurant is famous for its game, and many wealthy people in the town love to go there, but now there is less game, and they can only follow the many restaurants in the town to cook some common dishes. Only in that way, business has also been much lighter.
Now that Lin Dashan supplies game, the boss didn't even hesitate, so he told Lin Dashan that his game and restaurants would be available in the future. Rabbits and chickens are common, and they cost fifty wen a catty. If there are uncommon ones, we will talk about them then.
Lin Dashan walked out in a daze, looking at the heavy purse in his hand, he felt like he was still dreaming.
At present, Sang Yu is worrying about making money, and now, he can be regarded as a little bit of use.
Lin Dashan walked around the street twice, this was the first money he got, and after thinking about it, he must buy something for Sang Yu.
Walking around, I didn't find anything to buy. suddenly remembered that it was cold, but Sang Yu had no thick clothes to wear. So he went to the cloth village and bought some thick cotton cloth. He knew that Sang Yu didn't like those flowers, and he deliberately chose a light pink. The fabric was not cheap, and it cost him half of the money. Lin Dashan was not sorry or distressed, with a smirk on his face, imagining whether Sang Yu would be happy to see it.
He still had some money in his hand, and after hesitating for a while, he still felt that he didn't want to buy anything for the Wang family. Presumably my mother is also rich, what can I buy with this little money? Presumably my mother can't look down on it. It's better to save it and talk about it later.
Sang Yu had nothing to do, and he didn't want to go to the town, so he took out the fabric he had put before, and after thinking about it for a long time, he decided to embroider a handkerchief. It's just that she can't calm down, and there are only a few gorgeous plum blossoms embroidered on the fabric, and she can't embroider anymore. Throw it aside, lie on the bed and get angry.
When Lin Dashan came back, he saw such a scene.
"Sang Yu, what do you see I brought you back?"
If in the past, Lin Dashan would not have yelled like this, but he was happy today, and he couldn't help but want to tell Sang Yu the good news, and let Sang Yu not be so annoyed.
Sang Yu got up with a little frustration in her voice.
"What's wrong?"
But he still didn't go out.
Lin Dashan pushed the door in and raised the cloth in his hand.
"I bought you a piece of cloth to make clothes, and now it's cold, and your clothes are too thin, and you'll be cold when you wear them. The cloth is thick and good-looking, and it will definitely fit you well. ”
took out the purse in his arms and put it in Sang Yu's hand.
"This is the money I made today, don't think about it so much, just leave everything to me in the future."
Sang Yuyuan didn't feel anything. first saw the cloth in Lin Dashan's hand, and then the money.
Has the world changed?
Sang Yu's hands were heavy. She looked at the extremely ordinary purse in her hand, and was a little blindfolded.
"What is this?"
Lin Dashan saw that she was dumbfounded, very cute. He touched her hair and smiled, "This is the money I earned from hunting hares." The owner of the restaurant said that he would want all my game in the future. Sang Yu, you don't have to think so much now. I'll try to make money to support you. ”
His words made Sang Yu's heart warm, if she could, she was a weak woman, how could she think about making a living every day, she also wanted to be relaxed, she didn't care about everything every day, some people hurt and some people spoiled.
Hearing Lin Dashan's words, Sang Yu nodded subconsciously.
Seeing this, Lin Dashan was even more determined that he must make a lot of money in the future and let Sang Yu live a good life. (To be continued.) )
