"I'll steam. None of you will be in charge of the dry food. Tian Qingqing happily rubbed his hands.

"You eat a lot of white flour and dry food, what about twelve or three people, can you do it?" Hao Lanxin said uneasily.

Tian Qingqing: "Our Qiyin pot can steam more than 60 in one pot. I steamed one pot in advance, and then steamed two pots a day, more than one hundred and twenty. If it's not enough, add the previously steamed one, and it's no problem to keep it. ”

Hao Lanxin saw that Tian Qingqing was full of confidence, so she had no choice but to nod.

So, Tian Qingqing took the initiative to take on the task of steaming dry food: the steaming white-flour steamed buns steamed in two pots in the morning, and since the first pot was cooked, the sweetness of the steamed buns floated all over the courtyard.

Hao Lanxin, Mrs. Yang, Tian Lu's, the fifth grandmother, and the fourth grandmother are responsible for boiling water, cooking vegetables and soup.

After a morning of physical labor, everyone was so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs. When the incense of steamed buns wafted in the courtyard, their appetite swelled to the extreme. As soon as he sat down, he ate hula and hula, and the table was full of soup, just like a little piglet grabbing food.

Most of the people on the construction team came from the countryside, and their families were not wealthy. It's also rare to see white-flour steamed buns. I didn't expect to come out to work and eat it. The workers all praised Dongjia's water beet-flavored steamed buns as the best meal they ate outside.

"Then you eat more. It's all hard work, don't be out of time. Hao Lanxin said with a smile.

"It's full, it's full," said a young man, tugging at his bulging belly. One inadvertently burped. Everyone laughed. The young man scratched his head in embarrassment.

A young man who was not very well dressed took a steamed bun and said to Hao Lanxin: "Boss, I have eaten enough." But I can spare this steamed bun. I won't eat it, can I take it back to my grandma at night? My grandmother is over seventy years old. For as long as I can remember, I have never seen her eat such white, sweet, and fragrant steamed buns. ”

Hao Lanxin said generously: "You can eat it." When I go back in the evening, I'll pick up a few more for you and bring them back to your grandmother. ”

Ah, there is wheat in the urn at home, and Hao Lanxin has enough confidence to speak!

Seeing this, Tian Qingqing bought a few pieces of wrapping paper from the consignment point (there were no plastic packaging bags at this time, which made Tian Qingqing a little folded), and wrapped the number of copies according to the head, four per pack, and each person brought back one pack when he left.

The next day, the two pots of dry food were changed to three pots.

Don't look down on the small favors, but they greatly encourage the motivation of construction workers. Even the north room with a courtyard wall and a gate was completed in less than half a month.

After more than a month of drying, in early November, the family moved into the spacious and bright Great North House.

The layout of the house is as Tian Qingqing planned: four bungalows, each six meters long from north to south and four meters wide from east to west, with an indoor area of 24 square meters.

At the east end of the north room is a large single room with an open door.

On the west side are three rooms that are connected, with a hall in the middle and an east and west rooms on both sides.

The east and west rooms are separated into two single rooms, one large and one small. The south side is large, sixteen square meters, and the north side is small, eight square meters. The door was open.

Tian Dalin and Hao Lanxin lived in the east and south of the hall; In order to facilitate Tian Youqiu's homework, the two brothers lived in the south room on the west side of the hall; Tian Qingqing and Tian Miaomiao live in the north room to the west of the hall. Although it is only eight square meters, there is still a lot of space left with a double bed, a small desk and two chairs.

Mrs. Yang lived alone in the easternmost large room, with a capacity of 24 square meters. The bedroom on the north side and the living room on the south side are very spacious.

The north room on the east side of the hall was made as a guest room, and relatives and friends were ready to stay.

Not to mention, as soon as Tian Dalin's family moved in, Tian Qingqing's grandmother, Hao Xu, came to live for a few days.

In the past, because of the shortage of housing, Hao Xu's family had never lived here at any other time, except for waiting for Hao Lanxin's confinement (she moved out when she came to Tian Dalin) a few times. This time, I saw that the second daughter had built a big house and lived happily. also said to Hao Lanxin: "Ernier, you built such a good house, even your mother is envious and jealous of you." ”

Hao Lanxin smiled and said, "Mom, don't be jealous. This house is yours. You and my dad can stay here as long as you want. We feed you two elders. ”

Hao Xu also smiled and said: "When your father doesn't guard the flower factory and can't earn a job, we will come to live permanently." ”

Hao Lanxin: "Mom, let's just say okay, don't change the hexagram." “

Hao Xushi: "Definitely." With my granddaughter, I can't do it. ”

Mother and daughter both smiled like a flower. It's just that Hao Xu's is a chrysanthemum.

Tian Dalin's house has also caused a sensation in the whole Tianjiazhuang: first, the style is novel and the utilization rate is high, which is twice as high as the old-fashioned house; And then there's the money.

Tian Dalin, who is honest, still borrowed to live in the yard house in the spring, and suddenly turned into a phoenix in the autumn, and lived in the biggest and best house in the village! How could their family have so much money?!

"I made a lot of money when I had chicken plague."

"Fishing is also a lot of money. A few pieces a day, dripping into a ze, and it will be there after a long time. ”

"Tian Dalin's mother-in-law lives a small life and is reluctant to spend money. I heard that she never buys anything. ”

"And I picked up the skin. I heard that I also made a lot of money. Don't look down, it's too much, and after a long time, you can sell it for money. ”

"Hmm. Then next year, we will also learn from the appearance of others, and we will sell Pier for money. ”

"It's beautiful to you. With these, I can't afford to save four big houses with such a grand style until the Year of the Monkey. I haven't heard of it, Yang Jiawa's forced Jian murder case, his eldest daughter Qingqing unveiled the notice and reported the criminal, and it was cracked. Got a bounty of a thousand dollars. However, this public security bureau is not allowed to say. It came quietly from within. ”

"God, this little girl is so powerful, she can earn this money?!"

"I didn't believe it at first. When the house is built, I can only believe that it exists. Otherwise, money is even more of a mystery. ”

"And the old lady, who came strangely. The family treats them like family. Is there nothing to say about it? ”

"You mean the old lady brought something?"

"Everybody speculates. However, it's hard to say that there is no shadow. ”

"There's extra money anyway. Otherwise, such a large house will not be built, or sand ash, prefabricated panels. It's capped in our village. ”

“…………”

Generally speaking, moving to a new home is a warm pot. The first is to be auspicious - popular; The second is to inform people.

Hao Lanxin disagreed with Wen (pot). Because most of the people who come to the warm pot are not empty-handed, they have to bring some gifts to let everyone spend money. Another reason is that it is not a new house, but it has just moved from a side house to a main house. I haven't been discharged from the hospital, so I don't need to be informed.

In fact, Hao Lanxin still has a careful eye: after the project in the entire courtyard is completed, she will have dozens of yuan left in her hand. Even if she saves flowers, after warming the pot, she will become a moneyless person. Not to mention, there will be famine because of this.

Tian Dalin has always respected Hao Lanxin's opinion, not to mention that he is a person who does not like to be lively, so he agrees.

Tian Jinhe felt that the third son had put gold on his face, and he was very happy. I wanted to make a big splash when I was warming the pot and praise the third son to make up for the debt to the third son's family over the years. Then he drank happily and got drunk with the three elder brothers (the fourth brother Tian Jinjiang has passed away).

Seeing that the third son and his wife didn't mention the matter of warming the pot, they couldn't help but ask, "San'er, when will the pot be warmed?" How many people are you going to call? ”

Tian Dalin said for a long time: "I discussed with Lan Xin, and I won't prepare a warm pot." Otherwise, you'll have to let everyone break the bank. ”

Tian Jinhe was anxious when he heard this, and said: "Other people's families move to new homes to warm pots, why are you not warm?" You have a large group of brothers, uncles, and brothers, and you are good at building a house. Just you don't warm the pot! Are you going to break the rules here? ”

As soon as Tian Dalin heard the word "rules", he couldn't help but think: Yes, moving to a new home has become an unwritten rule, and if you are not warm, the next one will not be warm. I've really broken the rules here. Then he said, "I'll go back and discuss with Lan Xin." ”

When Tian Dalin told his wife what his father said, Hao Lanxin also had no idea: "Actually, warming the pot is a matter of two costs. I wanted to save a little, and let everyone save a little, but I didn't expect that there was such a thing as 'rules'. You say, are we warm or not? ”

At this time, Tian Qingqing happened to come over, and after listening to Hao Lanxin's words, she asked, "Mom, what is Wen?" ”

"Warm the pot." Hao Lanxin said: "Your father and I don't plan to be warm. Your grandfather said that if you don't know how to do it, you're breaking the rules here. You say, Qingqing, are we warm in this pot? ”

Tian Qingqing III is a human being, and he knows what is going on with the warm pot. During the Ling Yuanyuan period in the previous life, there was a flood of favorites, and some people regarded the warm pot as an opportunity to collect money, and they invited guests to make money. She had scoffed at it! I didn't expect this to happen at this time.

"So, if it's a warm pot, what kind of gifts do people take?" Tian Qingqing asked.

Hao Lanxin: "Not much. Some take more than twenty eggs; Some bought a washbasin, a kettle, a pot or something, and some even bought a bowl. Some of the good concubines and sisters discussed with the Lord's family in advance to see what they lacked, and then what to buy. Pretty casual. ”

Tian Qingqing heard this and thought: It turns out that they are all hand-made! When people move to a new house, they have to buy some utensils. The people who came to the warm pot brought it and had a meal, which not only increased the family affection, but also solved the lack of household belongings of the main family, and the cost was not much. This is the original ground warming pot!

It's a pity that the people of later generations have changed their taste, and they all use money to speak. It's often a hundred, two hundred, or even hundreds or thousands, and the more you pay, the higher the weight. It has become a vice that people spurn and avoid.

"In that case, let's be warm. I think that's a good rule?! Everyone brought us some daily necessities, we took care of a meal, and everyone talked and laughed together, which not only increased friendship, but also looked decent, what's wrong!. Tian Qingqing said. (To be continued) RS
