Chapter 157: Why do you have to carry people on your back
When she gave Zhang Jinmin money, the money in her hand was not enough, so she directly took out twenty yuan from the money stuffed by her daughter, and she didn't have time to count the rest of the money. She hurriedly reached out and took out the money from her pocket, put it on the kang and counted it, it turned out to be eighty yuan, plus the twenty she used, it should be a full hundred!
"This girl, what's wrong with not going to spend this day?"
Wen Feng smiled when he looked at the money in his daughter-in-law's hand, it seems that the eldest daughter is having a good life this day~
"If you give it to you, you will take it, and when they use the money in the future, won't you just take it back?
When the two of them got married, I really didn't expect our Ji Rong to be that kid's home, but now, I can finally rest assured! ”
…… It was already past five o'clock when Meng Dekui and the others rushed home, and after he sent Leng Mei'er home, he threw a few bundles of hay into the car and hurried to return the carriage, and on the way back, he rushed to Meng Dazhu's house.
At this time, just in time for the villagers to get off work, Meng Dekui just entered Meng Dazhu's yard, and Niu Dacui who came out to hold firewood ran back, as if he saw some flood beast.
Meng Dekui said deliberately: "Hey, what are you running, my brother is still single, what is that cow or something, don't you think about it?" ”
Niu Da hated it so much that the roots of his teeth itched, but he didn't dare to say a word!
Meng Dekui waited for a while, and when he saw that there was still no movement, he walked directly into the house where Meng Dazhu lived.
It just so happened that Meng Mancang came back with his father, and the two of them were talking in the house.
"Third brother, why are you free? I also said that I would have a chance to talk to you in two days, and sit down. ”
Meng Mancang's words were very affectionate, compared to it, his father's expression was a little unnatural, after all, more than a month ago, their family had just been slandered by Meng Laosan!
"I won't sit down, if you're okay, let's go out and talk, I have something to tell you."
When Meng Dazhu heard this, he immediately stood up, "You guys talk in the house, I'll go out to see your mother." ”
Waiting for Meng Dazhu to go out, Meng Dekui sat down, he also glanced at the courtyard, and it was not until Meng Dazhu went out of the gate that he spoke: "Don't blame me for being troublesome, I'm also afraid of causing you trouble, after all, your eldest brother is not very worry-free, if what I say makes your father listen to and tell your brother, then you will have to bear it." ”
Meng Mancang smiled: "I don't know your temper, where did we get so many things from our brothers for so many years!" ”
"Then I'll be blunt, I came to you today to get you a job, my father-in-law's house is too dilapidated, I plan to pay for them to repair it, you have done this before, you give me the math, eight main houses, three wing rooms, rebuild the roof, all the lintels are replaced with new ones, and the tiles are also replaced with new ones, by the way, clean up the dilapidated places, and then strengthen the courtyard wall, how much does it cost?"
Meng Mancang pondered for a moment, "It's easy to say just wood, everyone has a little stock of this thing, it's a big deal to borrow it from someone first, let's cut it from the mountain and dry it and then return it to others." Tiles are more expensive, is the third brother in a hurry? ”
Meng Dekui said: "Of course, the faster you fix it, the better, otherwise you won't be able to get the house when it freezes." ”
"Then find more people, pay more wages, take care of a meal at noon, let them drive out the work, even the material and belt workers will be about fifty yuan!
I have to look at the specific amount of money, and I have to look at the house to know how many tiles to buy, this is the approximate number, and it may be more or less after the repair. ”
The people in the village build houses because the owners take care of the three meals and have no money to get them, because everyone helps each other.
In a situation like Meng Dekui's, if you take care of a meal, you have to be robbed of two or three cents a day.
Meng Dekui listened, "You can buy tiles, right?" ”
"I'll go to the brick factory tomorrow, and it shouldn't be a problem."
Meng Dekui immediately took out a hundred yuan from his pocket: "You spend this money first, be sure to help me do this beautifully, don't cut corners."
In addition, if you can't find so many people, just call those boys in Qingshan, earn two hard-earned money, be generous in wages, and give one or two cents more, it's no problem to give an extra dime or two, anyway, there are no cheap outsiders!
But there is one thing, you have to tell me in advance, when you get to my father-in-law's house, you bite me to death, you are helping for nothing, don't get paid, don't tell me to leak your mouth! ”
Meng Mancang smiled, "Okay, I wrote it down, I promise to handle the matter properly for the third brother, and let the third brother show your face in front of your father-in-law!" ”
Meng Dekui was thick-skinned and didn't take his brother's ridicule to heart at all, "Okay, you just have a little score in your heart, if the money is not enough, you can ask your third sister-in-law to get it, and wait for me to come back and settle it with you, in short, I won't let you work in vain!" ”
"Look at what you said, third brother, what are you talking about between our brothers? If something happens, what if the third brother can help me? ”
Meng Dekui didn't say anything more this time, just knew what to expect.
"Okay, this matter is decided, tomorrow morning I will take you to my father-in-law's house to recognize the door, and by the way, arrange the matter."
Meng Mancang said: "Don't be so troublesome, isn't it Liujia Village?"
It's not that I don't know the way, but when I got to my sister-in-law's house, I said that you let me go, and they couldn't stop me from going to the hospital, right? ”
Meng Dekui said: "That can't! ”
"Isn't that the end of it? What are you going to do, I'll just go alone, and by the way, I'll go to the brick factory again to settle the matter of the tiles! ”
Meng Dekui thought about it, and responded, "Okay, the matter is settled, you will take care of this matter tomorrow, and I will go back first."
When I go out the day after tomorrow, there are really a lot of things going on at home! ”
"Okay, third brother, then I'll send you off, and wait for Meng Qingshan's house by the way."
In fact, it's easy to find people who work now, you just want one hundred and eighty people, and it won't take half an hour to recruit enough people to shout.
Meng Mancang knew that Meng Dekui wanted to help his brothers, so he naturally wouldn't object, just like the third brother said, after all, they are all surnamed Meng, and it is a little bit to be able to help a little!
So the two separated at the gate, Meng Dekui went home directly, and Meng Mancang went directly to Meng Qingshan's house.
After the two left, Niu Dacui walked out of the house, and after looking out for a while, there was a resentful expression on his face.
These two people will definitely not do anything good when they get together, especially just now, she watched her good father-in-law make room for the two of them, if it weren't for the two of them discussing doing bad things, why would they have to carry people behind their backs?
