Yanzi, who had been hiding in the room, also heard her mother's greeting, and came out to wash her hands and eat with her head down.

Because there were a lot of fish, Aunt Zhu stewed a crucian carp for each person. Although the fishy smell of the fish was not removed, the five of them ate meat and soup on corn flour tortillas.

After eating, Sun Chen and Da Zhuang sat in the courtyard for a while, and Lin Tiezhu, who went to help Sun Zhou marry his wife, came back.

"Ah Chen, it just so happens that you are here," Lin Tiezhu greeted Sun Chen while wiping his face, "You have to build another courtyard in one more room, and you and Uncle Tie Niu will go over when the sun sets." ”

"Hey, I listen to my uncle!" Sun Chen nodded obediently.

"Dad, come over and see what this is?" Da Zhuang looked mysterious and beckoned to his father.

"What other good things can you kid have?" Lin Tiezhu teased him as he paced over.

“……”

Da Zhuang with a depressed face.

I just finished being ridiculed by my mother, and my father came again, what does this mean? !

"Yo! There really is! Lin Tiezhu stretched out his head and looked into the bucket, "This turtle has to be a pound and a half!" ”

"Right? Rare, right? Da Zhuang's words made Da Zhuang come back to life in an instant, "You have to sell it for a lot of money, right?" Let's talk about it first, this is what Sun Chen and I fished, and the money from the sale will be divided equally between the two of us, and no one can be greedy! ”

"Afraid that I'll cheat Ah Chen? Are you like that?! Being questioned by his son's character, Lin Tiezhu's eyes widened.

"You won't pit Sun Chen, but you can't be prepared to pit me!" Da Zhuang muttered quietly, but the voice was clearly deliberately heard by his father.

"The family cares about your food and use, and you still compete with your old man for this money?" Lin Tiezhu's eyes widened and widened, "Either you will marry your daughter-in-law in the future and not let Lao Tzu take the money, or you will hand over the money to your mother for safekeeping now!" ”

"Huh?!" Da Zhuang wailed, "I didn't say it if I knew it, I didn't catch anything now!" ”

"Okay, don't mumble, wait for your second uncle to come back and let him help sell it, give Ah Chen half and give you ten. No, twenty wen is always fine, right? Aunt Zhu finished brushing the dishes and chopsticks and came out of the kitchen.

It seems that my father and mother will not give all the money to themselves, but it is better than nothing, and Da Zhuang can only reluctantly agree.

At noon at the end of summer, it was always so hot that people were drowsy, Sun Chen greeted Da Zhuang's family, told his sister a few words, and walked to his house with two fish.

Yawned, Sun Chen wiped away the physiological tears that flowed out with his hands, but he didn't expect to turn his head and see two people in front of his house about to knock on the door.

One of them is his father Sun Zhou, who is wearing a reddish-brown new dress, which is rare to give people a sense of high spirits.

The other was a woman about thirty years old, also dressed in reddish-brown new clothes, with a gentle smile on her face, and she turned her head to look at Sun Zhou, obviously very satisfied with Sun Zhou, the object of remarriage. Sun Chen knew that this was his stepmother, the Wang family.

"Daddy." Sun Chen spoke, "Why are you here?" ”

"Where is this?" Sun Zhou saw the fish in his son's hand and frowned, "Go down to the pond?" ”

"No," although Sun Chen did not object to Sun Zhou's remarriage, he couldn't call out 'mother' to the Wang family. Because he didn't know what to call her, Sun Chen only nodded to her, which was regarded as a greeting.

He took out the key to open the door and said, "Da Zhuang went into the water, I only helped on the shore, and I also ate at Aunt Zhuzi's house at noon, you can take these two fish back and eat them later!" ”

"No," followed Sun Chen into the courtyard, Sun Zhou shook his head, "There is a lot of food left over from the noon hospitality at home, and you can stay and make up for yourself with these two fish." ”

"Or ...... I'll do it......" Wang said in a low voice, and when he saw Sun Chen's father and son both turning their heads to look at her, he explained in a panic: "No, I mean to do a good job here, wait... Ah Chen... When you want to eat, light it hot and you can eat it as soon as it is hot. ”

Seeing the Wang family cowering, Sun Chen sighed secretly in his heart, it seems that this Wang family is like a mother again.

"Then I'm bothering you." Wang released kindness to herself, and Sun Chen would not embarrass her.

"No, no trouble." As if he didn't expect Sun Chen to speak so well, the Wang family seemed a little flattered. Her new mother-in-law blamed her grandson for not even showing her face after the noon wedding feast, and did not say a good word about him at all. She was so frightened that she didn't dare to let Fennel come with her, for fear that Fennel would make him unhappy if she made a mistake.

Sun Zhou sat down on the stone in the courtyard and handed Sun Chen a heavy small cloth bag, "I only have these three hundred wen in my hand, and I will save more for you later." ”

"I don't want it, you can keep it!" How could Sun Chen not know how difficult it was for his father to save this money under his grandmother, he really didn't want it.

"Take it! You can use it now. Sun Zhou stuffed the cloth bag back into his son's hand, "When you have money in the future, won't I have to be filial to me?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Sun Chen nodded and stopped pushing and put the money away. "Well, Dad, you wait for me to honor you in the future!" But this filial piety does not include your brother, he added in his heart.

"Hehe, I'll wait! Originally, there was a kang in this house some time ago, and it happened to be free today, so let's plate it today! Sun Zhou directly told his son the purpose of this trip.

"Well, Uncle Tiezhu and Uncle Tie Niu will come over to help." Knowing that his father wanted to do something for his brother and sister, of course Sun Chen would not refuse, "I still want to build another room, my sister is older, it is inconvenient." ”

"Yes." Sun Zhou had already thought of this matter, but Sun Yang had been urging himself to work part-time to earn money, and he had no time to do it. "There's a dirt embryo in the backyard that I made before, and it's just right for me this time. But it seems that some are not enough, so I'll borrow some more for you. ”

"Borrow more, I want to build a bigger house for Erniu." Sun Chen nodded.

In Linjia Village, regardless of whether there is a plan to build a house in the near future, there is a habit of digging brown clay from the foot of the mountain to make soil embryos for backup. Because no one who doesn't build a house will not use all the soil embryos prepared by themselves, and the sizes are different and they can't communicate with each other, and they use a uniform size in the entire Linjia Village, so it is not difficult for Sun Zhou to borrow a sufficient number of soil embryos.

As he spoke, he stood up, "You wait here and here, and I'll come when I go." ”

"Hey." Wang responded. When Sun Zhou left, she didn't dare to talk to Sun Chen, so she went into the kitchen and didn't come out.

Seeing Wang like this, Sun Chen could only shake his head.

He measured the size in the courtyard step by step, and had some plans in mind.

The current house is the main house, sitting north and facing south. Because the yard is not small, there is more than one acre of land, and two main houses can be built on the left and right of it. Sun Chen chose the east side for his sister, because next to the west wall was a pigsty with a barrier, and the smell was too great.

He planned to build it in the style of a small suite, sleeping in the inside, and leaving the outside room as a small reception room for his sister to talk to.

In this way, it will take a little more effort and use more things, but Sun Chen doesn't plan to make do. In his opinion, instead of building a house indiscriminately now and keeping it for later demolition and reconstruction, it is better to grit your teeth and make it a little better at once.
