Chapter Eighty-Nine: Let's Go
Yuehua was very worried about the destruction of the house, when she got home, the courtyard door was smashed, the lock was smashed open, and it fell to the ground, but the lock was not broken, it was loose, and it was okay to hit it tightly with a nail hammer, and there was a place on the courtyard wall that was blackened by fire, but it didn't burn up, only a piece of black, not a big deal, the left courtyard wall was smashed into a waist-sized hole, but the problem was not big.
Yuehua is most worried that the furniture at home will be damaged, which is all painted by He Heng! When you open the kitchen, the ham on the stove and the bacon on the wall are still there, and when you enter the room, it's all fine! Yuehua breathed a sigh of relief.
She told Chestnut to go out and find a good mason to fill in the hole, but in the end, Yuehua was still not worried about Chestnut, afraid that the mason she was looking for would not be good, so she decided to go out with Chestnut to find a mason.
There are not many masons in the city, and there are many people who have been destroyed this time, Yuehua and they finally found a mason, who looks like a skilled handicraft, and has already negotiated the price with a mason, and is about to take it home to repair the hole, and the neighbor Zhao's family also came, and also came to find the mason.
When Yuehua came back, she passed by her house, knowing that her house was smashed and messy, and she couldn't live there, and the Zhao family was so anxious that they were about to cry: "Master! Do you see what my house has been smashed into, can I give you more money? ”
"This lady came first, you ......"
The Zhao family glanced at Yuehua with an embarrassed expression: "I know...... But ......"
It's not good to rob her at this time: "We live next to each other, my house is just a hole in the courtyard wall, your family is serious, you come first, both horizontal and vertical are neighbors, you go first!" Then he said, "I have discussed with this craftsman that I will pay a penny to make up a brick." If you're in a hurry, I'll let you do it first. ”
"Ouch! Thank you very much! When you first got married, you came to my house to deliver tea, and you didn't come out to sit at home on weekdays. If I hadn't looked at the dress you were wearing, I wouldn't have recognized you! Thank you so much this time, come to my house for tea another day. The Zhao family is very enthusiastic to thank them.
Yuehua: "The neighbor lives. It's not a problem. After a few pleasantries, he left with chestnuts.
"Madame is also generous, people say let it!"
The chestnut seemed to be unhappy, because many people in the city were smashed, and the mason was a little bit of a rampant price, and the two of them had their mouths dried up, and they said how many good things they said before they talked about the price to a penny and a brick.
"It's all neighbors who know each other, and this time people are in a hurry, so let it go. If you don't know me, I won't let me. The Zhao family's Ming saw that Yuehua had discussed with the mason master, and she said to the mason master like this, in fact, she said it to Yuehua in disguise, and hoped that Yuehua would let it go.
Although they are neighbors, they are not familiar with each other, so it is not easy to open this mouth, if Yuehua does not follow the steps this time, I am afraid that the neighbors will not get along with each other in the future, and Yuehua is not good to be strong at this time. I had to give it to her along the steps, and I only said that it was for the neighbors to help each other, but it wasn't just because I said that I would give it to her.
But the main reason is that she saw the miserable scene in the alley and looked at herself. She escaped this catastrophe when she was not at home that day, and her family did not suffer much loss, so she would let her let it if she didn't say anything from the Zhao family.
Yuehua also simply does a good job to the end. Tell her all the price she has cut, and take the chestnuts to buy cornmeal and lime. The cornmeal is putty and mixed with a thick rice broth. Mixed with lime and smeared in the cracks, the walls are stronger, and the house is built and lived in for decades.
But because the corn flour mixed with lime has to be adjusted the night before, and you have to step on it for a day, until the cornmeal putty is bubbling, which is expensive and troublesome, few people have the time to make this, and everyone is paved with bricks and finished.
Yuehua felt that although maybe one day the war would start, this house would be gone, Yuehua still felt that this was a home, so she had to use the best things, and the wall had to be repaired to be stronger at one time, and she bought a large water tank, and replaced the original water tank and plugged it in the hole.
Chestnut looked at Yuehua's behavior and was slightly puzzled: "This water tank can still be used, what is Mrs. doing with it?" "Chestnuts and Yuehua are both thrifty people, and it really doesn't fit Yuehua's character to replace this thing before it breaks.
"I don't know why, this water tank hasn't been used for long, and there is a layer of dirt underneath, so replace it."
Yuehua lives in the north, there is not so much scale in the north, although everyone drinks this kind of scale water, she still can't stand it, this scale is left on the bottom of the tank and can't be washed off, although it is good, buy another one, a water tank doesn't cost much, just this water tank can be carried out to plug the hole first, and replace it by the way.
Yuehua happened to meet Hang Ju with chestnuts, she saw the two of them as if they had met ghosts, Yuehua looked at her like that and knew that she would not do anything in the future, this Hang Ju has a thief's heart but no thief's guts, a little calculating and not very brainy and insatiable, so she had to be someone's follower, Yuehua was so frightened that she hid with fear at this little punishment!
It's just that Liu'er is not easy to do, she hides behind, Yuehua can't catch her at all, and now she really can't be moved, but the days are long! This time she experienced this cholera, thinking that there would be a war soon, she didn't have time to pay attention to Liu'er.
When I got home, Zhao's family didn't forget to send a plate of red dates, saying that I was grateful to Yuehua for helping, and saw Yuehua changing the water tank: "How good is this thing, what are you doing with it?" ”
Yuehua told her about the scale.
"What should I be for!? You little couple is a waste! I'll teach you a trick! Wash with vinegar, other things can't be washed off, only vinegar, listen to my yes, if your house is short of vinegar to my house to get, it just so happens that I haven't thanked you well. ”
"A little thing is not worth it, there are still many at home!" It seems that this Zhao family still knows the etiquette, not the kind of master who loves to take advantage of himself but doesn't lose at all.
"Don't be polite to me." The Zhao family seemed to be very enthusiastic, and they had to send vinegar, but Yuehua stopped it and sent the Zhao family away.
It was about the experience of cholera, although it didn't hurt anyone, Yuehua was still slightly frightened, and couldn't sleep at night, and tonight was not like yesterday when there was a moon, not even stars, it was pitch black, and it was impossible to see the stars.
Yuehua suddenly heard the sound of the door opening, Yuehua was afraid that it was a thief, and the chestnut was probably asleep at this time.
When the twelve or thirteen-year-old child grew up, he fell asleep and was afraid that he would not wake up with a stick, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer, Yuehua was so frightened that she didn't dare to move on the bed, and she dared to touch the black for a long time.
The thief is familiar with the way to open the kitchen door, the kitchen door is closed from the inside of the latch door, the thief neatly stretched something from the outside to come in and pry the door open, fortunately although the chestnut is very arrogant but still careful, the bolt door is afraid of people prying open, the special took a bowl thick willow against the door, the thief pried the lock open but could not open the door, outside the door anxious to turn to tear the window paper.
