Chapter 319: Pay Less
After working hard for so long, the Zhou family's house was almost repaired, and there were still three or five days of work, and it was completely completed after the beams were put on.
At this time, I hurried to do it, and it didn't take long to call it a day, but I had to stop because it was the Mid-Autumn Festival soon.
People regard the Mid-Autumn Festival as very important, they all have to go home for a reunion dinner, and Zhou Kang can't leave people here to repair a house for his family.
So on August 14, Zhou Kang told everyone that they would go home in the afternoon and continue to work on August 16.
This has to rush Lu home, especially Zhou Kang's uncles, who are quite far away from here, and after eating dinner, Zhou Kang let them go back, and prepared some rituals.
Mrs. Zhou was not happy, so when he went back to the house, she hurriedly pulled him and said, "What are you asking them to do at this time, what about today's salary, this is only half a day's work to be counted as a day's wages, we must not lose our lives?" ”
"I said you, it's so easy to talk, seeing that there are only a few days of work, let them hurry up and do it is not better than anything, I have to let them go home at this time, hey, tossing back and forth, delaying the effort."
Zhou Kang said, "Mother, how can you let people work here during the big holidays?" There is no reason for this, no matter what you do during the New Year's holidays, you have to take a holiday, don't talk about this, you will do it again after the holidays. ”
Mrs. Zhou has lived in a straw hut enough, and now she wants to move back home, of course, she is looking forward to her house being repaired as soon as possible.
"You're just kind, if you want to put aside my words, you won't be so easy to speak, and you have to deduct some wages."
Zhou Kang smiled, "Mother, don't be angry, it's important to take care of your body, the doctor just came to see it yesterday, didn't you say the same?" I have everything at home, so you don't have to worry about it. ”
Mrs. Zhou pursed her lips, "Aren't I worried that you are young and easy to be fooled?" If it weren't for my heart, how could our family save these family foundations? Kang'er, tell me honestly, how much money did it cost to repair the house this time? ”
Zhou Kang said, "Mother, I haven't settled the account yet, how do you know this?" The wages have not been paid yet. ”
"I'm saying this to make you know in your heart, our food is not bad, right? Wanyun and her third sister-in-law are riveting to make vegetables, you see, every meal is about to catch up with the table, if I want to say that I really use other people's things I don't know how distressed, these days everyone has eaten all the good things in our house, otherwise the salary will be less? ”
Zhou Kang said with a straight face, "Mother, how can this be?" How much wages to give are all said at the beginning, I haven't heard of less at the time of checkout, if this is spread out, how do others say about our family behind their backs? Okay, okay, I can't listen to you about this, you can give as much silver as you want, you take care of your body, I will go back to the countryside with my third brother and sister-in-law in a while, take a look at Wanyun and the children, I won't go tomorrow, and I will accompany you at home for the holidays. ”
Zhou Kang turned around and went out, and Mrs. Zhou whispered behind her back again, "I'll run back to see it at two ends in three days, as if I was a heart, I want to see what she can give birth to this time." ”
She had already figured out in her heart, if Wanyun gave birth to a daughter, she would definitely be swept out of the house, no matter how threatening the Lin family was, it was useless, no matter how bad it was, she would have to marry Zhou Kang a small one.
Their generation of the Zhou family is a lone seedling in Zhou Kang, so they can't pass on the incense, right? In that case, how could she explain to Zhou Kang's father when she went underground?
In the afternoon, after almost finishing today's work, Zhou Kang asked everyone to go home to prepare for the festival.
Xuan's prepared some dishes for Zhou Kang, fried some meatballs and put them away, "Zhou Kang has made all the food for you tomorrow, put it all in this cabinet, you can eat it as soon as it is hot, if you don't know, ask the aunt next door." ”
Zhou Kang didn't expect her to be so thoughtful, and even prepared for tomorrow, and hurriedly said, "Third sister-in-law, thank you so much." ”
Xuan smiled, "It's okay, I don't think you will get this, tomorrow will be in a hurry, and it will be difficult to find a restaurant in the town." ”
In fact, they should invite Zhou Kang and his mother to go to the countryside to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is not too far, they are all in-laws, and they can be regarded as a family.
Just because of Mrs. Zhou, Lin Changyuan and Xuan's were reluctant to open this mouth, and they discussed it at home two days ago, everyone meant this, it was a big holiday, and they didn't want to get Mrs. Zhou to go home, which made the whole family unhappy.
Wanyun is still pregnant, she is not sure when she sees Mrs. Zhou, and now Mrs. Zhou's leg is injured again, and Zhou Kang can't get out, so he can only accompany Mrs. Zhou in the town.
After cleaning up, Zhou Kang put the festival gifts prepared in advance into the carriage, "Third sister-in-law, you and Siqi can sit in the carriage, and I will go back together, I can't get out of it tomorrow, go back and have a look today." ”
Xuan's nodded, and led Siqi into the carriage, while Lin Changyuan drove the ox cart, and the things on the cart were the things purchased today, and he always had to buy some things to go home during the holidays.
Zhou Kang hadn't seen Wanyun for a few days, and when he saw it, he missed it so much that the husband and wife held hands and looked at each other in the courtyard for a while.
provoked the Liu family to laugh, "Okay, okay, what are you two doing standing in the yard?" Hurry up to the upper room and sit down and talk for a while. ”
As soon as she opened her mouth, it made the two of them embarrassed, and when she looked up, everyone was looking, Wanyun's face turned red all of a sudden, and she lowered her head and went to the upper room.
Zhou Kang came to the house this night, and it was considered to be an early holiday, so Xuan's also bothered to cook a lot of dishes.
Zhou Kang still has to go back to the town, and there is Zhou's wife at home, so he doesn't dare to keep him more, so he starts eating early, and the sky is still bright.
A large family sat together, it was called a lively, Xuan's smiled and said, "Zhou Kang, you can eat with confidence, I have already kept the food for your mother, you can take it back in a while, and you can eat it when you steam it in the pot." ”
Lin Dezheng held the cup, let everyone drink a glass of wine first, and then said a few words with a smile, "This year, God doesn't open his eyes, there was a big earthquake, but there are happy events in the family, Meng Shan gave birth to a child, Wanyun is also pregnant, and the fifth child also came home, life is a mixed blessing, no matter what, the most important thing is peace and security, drinking this glass of reunion wine, you will be safe and secure for a lifetime, and you will be beautiful." ”
After he finished speaking, everyone drank another glass, and the children also had a little bit in the cup, which was spicy, and after entering their mouths, several children fanned the wind vigorously.
