Chapter 120: Housewarming Banquet
At the beginning of May, the renovation of the house of Mrs. You, a five-guarantee household, was finally completed.
The yard was expanded by half an acre of land, and another wing house was built, and in the end, the cement and sand sent by Zhou Cheng were not enough, and everyone went to Yushan to shovel a lot of mud, and after coming back, they rammed it tightly and made the courtyard wall a little higher.
The newly built four wings, connected to the washroom and the stove room, each built a big kang on both sides against the wall, about five or six meters long, nearly three meters wide, at first glance is a large shop, the kang head also made a few small partitions that can be unfolded and put away dozens of centimeters high.
After the walls in the room were completely dry, everyone brought a lot of old furniture from their homes into it, and as for the doors and windows, most of them were also dismantled from the original place where they lived, and they could be used even if they were poured.
A total of 11 elderly people and three children were relocated to the villagers. Among them, five are five-guarantee households, and the rest are left-behind elderly people and children like Zhao Mian, the old man Zhao.
With so many people living together, it is inevitable that there will be some disputes, so Zhou Cheng also helped Mrs. You formulate some rules and regulations.
For example, every day, students on duty will be arranged to clean the house, and they are not allowed to enter other people's rooms without permission
Another example is that although everyone eats and lives together, their personal property is still in their own name, and they only need to pay some food expenses every month.
It doesn't matter if you don't have food on hand, you can exchange it for something else in private, or go to Zhou Cheng to sign up and help reclaim the ten acres of wasteland under the name of the village committee in exchange for food.
After these regulations were drafted and officially promulgated, it was time to officially move in, and before that, everyone also held a housewarming banquet.
It is said that it is a banquet, but in fact, it is a few pots of white noodles, and some wild vegetables are mixed with some wild vegetables as toppings, and the noodles and vegetables are basically only put a little oil, salt and monosodium glutamate, as for those vinegar, soy sauce and spicy seeds, there is nothing at all.
Liang Xuetao, Wei Hongyu and Liang Juan also attended the housewarming banquet, and after Liang Juan tasted a bite of noodles at the dinner table, no matter how her mother signaled her with her eyes, she refused to move her chopsticks again.
Wei Hongyu was so angry that she couldn't help but pinch her.
Seeing this, Mrs. You said with a smile: "If the baby doesn't want to eat, don't force her, I will put these noodles in the pot and cook them again, I can eat them, we old men and old ladies have bad teeth, and we like to eat rotten noodles the most." ”
As soon as the old lady said this, Liang Juan's face suddenly became a little unbearable, she gritted her teeth, and swallowed most of the remaining bowl of noodles.
Mrs. You nodded with satisfaction, "Juanjuan, this baby is good, she knows that she can't waste food, unlike some young people in the village, they haven't gone through anything, and they don't know what to call a hard life." When there was a natural disaster in the first three years, everyone had never eaten anything, and as long as they could fill their stomachs with wild vegetables, tree bark, and Guanyin soil, they all stuffed them into their mouths. Compared with that time, even if we are happy in the current days, we can eat white flour cornmeal, and there are people like Zhou Zhishu and you to take advantage of it, and we old men and women who have no roots in duckweed are already very content. After the words fell, he glanced at Liang Xuetao, then patted the back of Wei Hongyu's hand, and said earnestly: "You are a kind-hearted person, and good days are still ahead." ”
This time, Wei Hongyu was afraid that it would be too eye-catching, so she only brought a dozen catties of cornmeal as a gift, compared to those enthusiastic people who helped Mrs. You build a house, both efforts and materials, I felt that I didn't help much, at this time, seeing Mrs. You praise her so much, I can't help but feel a little weak, so I laughed dryly, and I was embarrassed to say more.
After the banquet, on the way home, Wei Hongyu and Liang Xuetao put forward their own ideas - she planned to chop some firewood for Mrs. You and them during this time.
Liang Xuetao readily agreed, and took the initiative to take the matter on his head.
Subsequently, Wei Hongyu instructed Liang Juan to let her lead Zhao Mian and a few left-behind children up the mountain to cut wild vegetables from tomorrow, and promised that her daughter could take the big donkey up the mountain to help pack wild vegetables.
Since late April, after the first spring rains, there have been three more rains in succession.
With sufficient rain irrigation, the wild vegetables in the mountains this year, which were originally growing amazingly, are like spring shoots after the rain, and they are getting more and more powerful, and they can grow a stubble in a few days.
The next day, Liang Juan finished breakfast, went to Mrs. You's residence, and led Zhao Mian and others to the foot of Yu Mountain to meet Liang Zhuang and Liang Dou, and then a large group of people went up to Yu Mountain, and the big donkey walked at the end of the line.
The children on the hill were surprised to see them and look at the big donkey, and they followed one by one.
Seeing this, Liang Juan simply divided their respective areas for them, and strictly ordered them not to quarrel over the territory when they cut wild vegetables, of course, there are inevitably some people who are slightly older and do not listen to the command, in this regard, Liang Juan has already come up with a way.
Before going down the mountain in the evening, she gathered everyone together and rewarded the obedient children in public, and the prize was 30 fried soybeans.
If it were before last year's earthquake, not to mention 30 soybeans, even 10 times more than 100 times, no one would be greedy, but at this time, these children, who had almost forgotten what snacks were like, were so happy that they almost didn't jump up.
The cheers came one after another, and the children who won the reward ate the soybeans one by one, deliberately chewing them rattling, waiting for the salty, fragrant and crunchy taste to melt between their lips and tongues, and then took out a grain and threw it into their mouths, and then glanced at the friends around them who did not take the reward and could only look at it with dejected eyes
The small appearance of the slug makes people want to give a punch directly!
At this time, Liang Juan smiled and promised - as long as everyone obeys the command, there will be some rewards every day.
Saying this, it dispelled the idea of some secondary two teenagers who were ready to move and tried to "rob" their friends.
Although Liang Juan's practice of beating a stick and giving a sweet jujube is old-fashioned, it is indeed very effective.
After only a few days of hard work, Liang Juan became the "commander" of these children, and the children obeyed her, and they beat her wherever they gave orders, and some uncles and aunts in the village who have always loved to take advantage of small advantages were tricked by them several times when they went up the mountain to mow the grass.
Liang Juan was complacent and proud of this, and she had to brag in front of her parents every day when she went home, and she didn't feel at all how embarrassing it was to be mixed in with this group of little devils at her nineteen-year-old "advanced age".
