Chapter 241: Door-to-door
The most important thing for the elderly in rural areas is whether the younger generations are profitable, and the most important thing that can reflect whether they are productive is the house.
Migrant workers worked hard day and night in the city, living in the darkest and dampest basements in order to save money for the worst food. It's to be able to build a house at home.
Maybe they can only live in this house for ten days and half a month a year during the Chinese New Year, but they are happy to do it.
It is difficult for many people to understand why some people would risk their lives to defend their houses, because this house is their life, and even more important than life.
A house in the countryside is like a monument to life. As a farmer, if you can't renovate a house in your own hands, it is difficult to mix in the village.
However, the perception of the countryside is slowly beginning to change. Some of the active people began to leave the countryside and settle down in the cities.
Many young people also went out of the village, and after making money in the city, they bought a house there, and then married and had children, and did not return to the village. For them, the village is too poor and too remote.
Jiangbian wants to build a house, mainly for the turtle king. The turtle king has never been looked up to in his life. Jiangbian knows this. Although he may not live in the village in the future, the turtle king will stay here forever.
Jiangbian wanted to build the most beautiful house in the village, so that when the villagers remembered the turtle king, they were no longer that kind of mocking look.
Not everyone can understand the experience of the riverside, so not everyone can understand the idea of the riverside.
Jiang Fengshi couldn't understand it, so he felt very strange about Jiangbian's idea.
"When it comes to money, don't worry about it, fifth brother. I have made some money outside in the past six months, although it is not a lot, and it should be about the same to build a house. Kawabe said.
"Don't worry about the house. Now that it's almost the New Year, and the deadline is rushing everywhere, no one will definitely come to pick up your project. We'll have to wait until next year. However, it should be no problem to renovate it a few years ago. I took a look, and the leaves on your house are all blocked with tiles, and if it rains, the rain will definitely leak into the house. Now that the weather is fine, I'll pick up the tiles for you. When the time comes, you will have to add some tiles, and you had better buy them in advance. If you can trust your fifth brother, I'll buy it for you. Jiang Fengshi said.
Jiangbian nodded, "That house must be leaking badly." There is grass growing on the house, but I am afraid that the wood is also rotting a little. Just ask the fifth brother to help you do it. The wages and materials are calculated together. ”
Jiang Fengshi glanced at Jiangbian, "It's all brothers, what kind of money to talk about." If I pick up a tile for you, I'll charge you money. The villagers still don't poke me in the back? ”
Jiang Fengshi said that it was not a thing, if it was put in the early years, the people in the village really didn't have to pay for helping, but in the past few years, the labor force has gone out to work, and most of the rest of the village are old, weak, sick and disabled, and the labor force is very short.
Even if some young and strong laborers are left, people don't go out to make money and give you free work? Of course not. So from the early years, as long as the village called for help, it either exchanged labor or paid on time.
And because the labor intensity in the countryside is high, even more tiring than the work on the construction site, the daily wage is at least the level of the construction site.
Jiang Bian is not a nerd, he is very familiar with rural affairs, and naturally knows that Jiang Fengshi is actually just polite. If he didn't give money, he might not be angry, but there would definitely be estrangement.
"That's not going to happen. If in the past, my family was in difficulty, your fifth brother would have helped. Not now. This work seems simple, but in fact, it is very heavy. Climb up and down, no matter how much money other people give, I'm afraid that the fifth brother may not be willing to go. Kawabe said. …,
Jiang Fengshi listened to it very usefully.
The two of them politely exchanged words for a while, and confirmed the cost of renovating the house by the river.
After breakfast, I had to go out to the riverside.
Li Huijun won't be back until later, so he asked the river to bring some things for the two children at home. Jiangbian himself secretly bought a lot of things for the two little guys by the way.
And Li Yueji was not going to go home for the New Year, so she bought a lot of things and asked Jiangbian to bring them back.
If all the things were carried by the riverside, it is estimated that there would be so many centipedes growing on the riverside, and they would not be able to reach it.
Jiangbian secretly put most of the things into the space, and only carried one bag back to the mid-mountain village.
Jiangbian has never been to Liu Huijun's house openly, but this time he has an excuse.
Jiangbian came to Liu Huijun's door, which surprised the Liu family, although Liu Huijun's parents had long known that Jiangbian would bring things back. It's still a little hard to accept the riverside.
Before going out by the river, he and Liu Huijun made the Liu family disgraced, so that Liu Chuping's heart was always on fire. But when he really waited for the riverside to come to the door, Liu Chuping really couldn't find an excuse to have a seizure. After all, Jiangbian's current identity is still from the same village, and people are just kind enough to bring some things back to your granddaughter.
Jiangbian carried a large bag in one hand, and it was easy to know that the contents of the bag were relatively rich from the degree of force on the strap on the bag.
Liu Chuping deliberately hid in the house and refused to come out, although he very much wanted to know what happened to Liu Huijun in Qiantang. But he was worried that when he saw the riverside, he couldn't help but want to beat up the culprit who had made him lose face.
Liu Chuping's mother-in-law, Xia Su'e, was very enthusiastic, "By the river, come in and sit, come in and sit." ”
"Hey." Jiangbian was not polite, and carried things into Liu's house.
Jiangbian looked around, "What about Ina and Xinghai?" ”
"Ina is in the first grade, and she hasn't had a vacation yet. That kid from Xinghai went to town with his uncle early in the morning. Xia Su'e lifted a chair and put it in front of the river, "Sit down." ”
Jiangbian sat down, "Uncle Liu went out?" ”
"Well, someone in the village is sick, and the old man has gone to the doctor. Have you had breakfast? ”
Xia Su'e walked in again and came out with a cup of hot tea.
Jiangbian hurriedly stood up and took the tea from Xia Su'e with both hands, "I've eaten, my fifth brother invited me to dinner in the morning." He was afraid that I had just come back and would have nowhere to get food, but I had already made food at home last night. ”
Xia Su'e sat down on the opposite side of the river, "They all said that you were on the news on national television, but I didn't see it." Is it true? ”
Xia Su'e actually asked knowingly, just to find a good mother-in-law to review the topic of her son-in-law.
"Yes, there is such a thing, but in fact, it is not as mysterious as the people in the village say. In fact, it was a fishing tournament. As you know, I don't have to say anything about my fishing skills, but during the competition, the national television broadcast and interviewed me. I was lucky enough to win the championship. Ebebe smiled.
"So that's what happened. That's a lot of prize money, right? Xia Su'e asked.
"It's ok. A total of 100,000, after deducting taxes, there are about 70,000 or 80,000 in hand. Kawabe said.
"That's incredible. In the village, those who work outside earn two or three thousand yuan a month, and they earn only one or two thousand yuan a year. You have to save money. Xia Su'e said.
"It's not a game that happens every day. Once a year. It may not be possible to win the ranking, if you don't get the ranking, you don't have any of them, and you have to waste a lot of money. Kawabe said.
"That's too. Where is that money so easy to make? Xia Su'e said.
Liu Chuping was in a hurry in the room, but he could only be anxious, and scolded in his heart, "This stinky woman." It's useless to ask questions. After talking for a long time, there was no useful word. ”…,
Xia Su'e was unhurried, "Listen to Huijun, you used to be a chef in a restaurant for a while?" Why didn't you stop doing it? ”
Jiang Bian smiled, "I've been doing it for a while." You know, I know how to cook. It is with the old man's ingredient recipe that the flavor of the dish is somewhat unique. If I really want to compare to cooking, I can't even compare to an apprentice. ”
"So what are you going to do in the future? Isn't this fishing a job? Xia Su'e began to ask, to get to the point. Liu Chuping, who was hiding in the room, also pricked up his ears.
"Although this fishing is not a serious thing, I have signed an agreement with a club to represent them in various fishing tournaments. The income is also relatively stable. In addition, the previous game is not over yet. Next year I got to the United States to go to the competition. The rest will have to wait until the game is over. Kawabe said.
"Have you found a partner? When are you going to get married? This is Xia Su'e's core question, and she is turning around just to ask this question.
Liu Chuping also leaned towards the door and accidentally touched the bench on the side.
"Bang!"
There was a loud bang, which startled Xia Su'e.
Jiangbian also followed the sound and looked over.
"You sit down first, and I'll go over and have a look." Xia Su'e walked into the room.
"What are you doing here, stupid? Hurry up and ask? You're going around and around, and it's easy to get to the point, how did you get in? Liu Chuping was very annoyed.
"You're embarrassed to say it. I almost didn't scare you to death. You just hide here and listen carefully, why are you making such a big fuss? Xia Su'e glanced at Liu Chuping.
"Well, accidentally, I hit the stool." Liu Chuping was very depressed, "You stupid mother-in-law, you don't know that the cat at home is too noisy." ”
"Riverside, you go on. Just now, the old cat of the family was scurrying around the room and knocked over the stool. Xia Su'e said.
Jiang Bian smiled, "This old cat can really toss." ”
Jiangbian actually knew for a long time that Liu Chuping was hiding in the room and eavesdropping.
Liu Chuping in the room was so angry that his beard almost stood on end.
"Well, you go on." Xia Su'e said.
"Where did we just say it came from? Is that the old cat or something? Jiangbian deliberately wrapped his tongue around.
Xia Su'e was inadvertently surrounded by the riverside, "Well, that old cat loves to toss too much." Oh no. Do you have a girlfriend now? ”
Jiang Bian shook his head, "I haven't skimmed the eight characters yet." I like people, but people don't necessarily like me. Where can we talk about getting married. ”
Xia Su'e was a little puzzled when she heard this, she originally thought that her daughter had already established a relationship with Jiangbian, and the two of them were in Qiantang City, so they naturally came together. I thought it had reached the point of talking about marriage.
