Chapter 17 The house is completed
The construction of the house is carried out like this, it has been about seven or eight days, the house has been built almost a little half, every day the family is tired and lying in bed and does not want to talk much, several women in the family are around the kitchen every day to make food, almost more than 20 people's meals, it is still a little difficult.
Lin He is just a hand, washing vegetables or something, Zhou's is responsible for cutting vegetables, Aunt Xu is responsible for making the staple food, Huang is the person in charge of the big spoon, and the four people are also busy every day, and Huang's has to deal with his mother-in-law's unreasonable troubles every day, which is really tiring.
These days, Lin He also found a problem, although grandma Zhao is a bit domineering and unreasonable, but she can still get by with others, even the youngest daughter-in-law Zhou is also kind and pleasant, and she also loves their grandchildren very much.
It's just that for the Huang family, it's really a bit of a bone in the egg, as if what the Huang family does is wrong, after all, the Huang family is a junior and can't do it against his mother-in-law, only to suffer, fortunately, it's only a matter of the past few days. Huang was relieved to think that after finishing the house, her mother-in-law would go back.
Lin He, a modern person, saw that his grandmother often deliberately made things difficult for his mother, and he was indeed a little unbearable, and when he saw that Aunt Xu and Huang were not there, he secretly asked Zhou what was going on.
Zhou quietly revealed the point, it turned out that Zhao was very fond of Erniu's son, Erniu has been filial since he was a child, and he has the most old man's thoughts, when Erniu wants to marry, Zhao originally planned to give his eldest brother's daughter, that is, Erniu's uncle's cousin, to Erniu, and wanted to have a kiss, both families are willing, who knows that at that time Erniu fell in love with Huang by chance, how to go to Huang's house to propose, Zhao refused, Erniu refused to give in, and in the end Zhao gave in.
This is destined that as soon as the Huang family comes to the Lin family, the mother-in-law will not treat her fate, and then the third child also married a daughter-in-law, so the family was separated, and the Zhao family also lived with the eldest son, and then the eldest family moved to the town, which was even more estranged. In addition, Huang is an honest person, knowing that her mother-in-law doesn't like her, and she never coaxes the old man to be happy, so the relationship is getting weaker and weaker.
Lin He heard this, fortunately, his father did not marry his cousin at that time, or if he didn't marry close relatives, it would be troublesome, this ancient person is really, he always thinks that it will be better to be close to each other, how do you know that there are so many harms. But if my father had married my cousin at that time, there would have been nothing to do with their little buns.
Lin He thought that it was good that grandma didn't live with them, if they were often together, the nose between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not a nose and an eye was not an eye, and it was not a way, so it would be uncomfortable for them to be caught in the middle.
Father Lin and the Zhao family originally thought that Erniu's family was just rebuilding the house casually and dividing a few more houses out, but now they see that their son's family uses green bricks to build the house, and the family really doesn't look like a lack of silver, so they are really relieved.
They also asked Erniu where he got so much money, and Erniu also told them what he said to the patriarch again, and now the Zhao family has a high opinion of Lin He's granddaughter, and often nagging, "Our Erya is so clever and upright, I want to find a good mother-in-law for her in the future."
Daddy Lin listened to her nagging all day long, and said, "Er Ya is still so young, how can it be time to talk about her mother-in-law's family, and besides, doesn't she still have Erniu's daughter-in-law to worry about, why do you have so much heart for an old woman." ”
Zhao's "It's just that there is a mother like Huang's who I'm worried, can I teach Erya well?" ”
But at the same time, Father Lin and Zhao are also pleased, it turns out that when the third child is still there, what they are most worried about is this second family, there are many people in the family, there is little labor, and they can't make much money all year round facing the loess with their backs to the sky, and they are sad for half a year.
It's good now, and from time to time to help the old three families, speaking of the old three families is also worrying, after all, the Zhou family is still so young, and the children are small, if the Zhou family wants to remarry, they can't stop it, from the bottom of their hearts, they don't want the Zhou family to remarry, if the Zhou family remarries, what should these two little ones do.
If she is allowed to take it away, I don't know what kind of life this little one will live in the future, this day of making a drag oil bottle will definitely be bad, and the grandmother can't bear to watch her grandchildren live like that, if you put it at home and no one takes care of it, it seems that the two of them are also going back to their hometown, and they can still take care of one or two.
The son of his own family is gone, and the daughter-in-law is so young that the family can't be widowed like this for the rest of their lives, this is a hurtful thing, and their old Lin family can't do it, and then the two old people have nothing to do in the town every day, and the life is really boring.
In the past few years, several sons are filial, and they have a little money in their hands, and when the time comes, they will find the second child to take care of them, and see if they can come back and buy a few acres of thin fields by themselves, in case the Zhou family has a place to go in the future, and their grandchildren can also take care of them.
Lin He and the Huang family never thought of Daddy Lin and Zhao's plans, but these are all things for the future, and building a house now is the most important thing. The workers are still hurrying up to work every day, and Lin He also asked the Huang family to make sure that the food must be prepared, and the house, which took almost a month to complete, was driven out in more than 20 days.
On the day of completion, people from the village should be invited to eat and drink, this is the rule here, the house was completed on this day, and the workers also helped to clean the house inside and out, and also invited many people in the village to help, this is the most lively day for Lin He to come here.
The whole village is almost here, the people in the village come to eat and drink, basically one family, there are more than 100 households in the whole Linjia Village, there are more than 100 people, some people also brought children, children are not considered heads, plus some of their relatives and masons actually have fifteen tables of banquets.
On this day, many women in the village also came to help make the banquet, and Lin He also met relatives he had never met before, such as his grandfather's family and his two aunts, as well as some relatives. Lin He's grandfather and grandmother saw that their daughter's family had built such a good house, held Huang's hand and said, "My son's hard life is really out, and he will live a good life in the future." ”
Huang's eyes were also red, and he remembered that the previous life was indeed bitter and tired, and he also held his parents' hands and didn't speak. But after all, there are too many people on this day, and there is no way to talk well, and the lunch at noon on this day is also very rich, and it is rare for Linjia Village to do such a happy event.
Each table is full of five pots of vegetables, all of which are meat dishes, the staple food is white flour steamed buns, and every guest is full of oil, whose dishes are not so good, this is top-notch in Linjia Village, and everyone knows that Lin Erniu's family is really rich, living in such a good house, and making a banquet is also so arrogant.
A lot of people came to talk to Erniu, but Erniu just scratched his head honestly and didn't say much. But he is not a fool after all, when his family was poor in the past, when he really couldn't get by, he also went to ask the people in the village for help, but how many people helped him, and now the family is better, so many people come to scold him. Sure enough, "there are many icing on the cake, but there are few charcoal in the snow." ”
