When they arrived at Xinghua Village, where Guo's family was located, they called their village chief over and told them what was going on, Guo Xiang gave a sum of money, and the two families broke off their relationship and moved their household registration by the way.

Write a letter of severance, sign it on both sides, and the village chiefs on both sides will be witnesses, and they will never communicate with each other in the future.

Guo Xiang also gave money on the spot, and then took the household registration book to the village committee to issue a certificate, and went to the police station, even if the matter was done.

Two days later, he took the Gu family's household registration book to the police station and wrote his name, which officially became a member of the Gu family.

When he got the household registration book, Guo Xiang was in a bit complicated mood, and he didn't know whether the transfer of the household registration was a good thing or a bad thing.

When I arrived in the town, I took out the two hundred yuan sent by Gu Zhennan by the way.

Naturally, the money was to be given to Wang Guiying, and Guo Xiang took another 200 yuan from himself and handed it over to Wang Guiying together, so that she could repair the house.

Although she still has a lot of money in her hands, she doesn't dare to give too much at once, Wang Guiying is uneducated, and she is afraid that she will be deceived by someone when the time comes.

"Mother, I think you should give the money to your sister-in-law, you are illiterate, you have to keep accounts when you build a house, how can you remember it?" Guo'er said.

"This ......" Wang Guiying was a little embarrassed, the money hadn't been covered yet, but she also knew that Guo'er was right, and her daughter-in-law was so good, she didn't worry that she would hide her secrets.

"Mother, just give Zhendong a tube, he is educated, there is no problem with managing the accounts, and the school has not opened yet, let's hurry up, maybe we can repair the house before he goes back to school." Guo Xiang said.

Because Wang Guiying was not going to tear down the house and rebuild it, he thought about pushing the mud wall and building a brick wall, and the wooden room inside was not moving, so the foundation did not need to be moved, and it was a big deal to strengthen it a little later, so it would not take a few days to build the real wall.

She mainly doesn't want to be too high-profile to attract jealousy, and she is also afraid of spending money and being poor.

The money saved is better than buying more food to eat.

Guo Xiang doesn't care, the wooden house is quite comfortable to live in, and the all-cement is still hot.

In the end, it was agreed that cement should be poured on the ground, so that it would be much cleaner, and it would not often step on mud, and it would be easy to clean, just flush it with water.

Ji Changlin's side also began to build, and it was really all made of wood, and even the floor was raised to make a wooden floor, which was distinctive and clean.

As soon as everyone heard that the Gu family was going to repair the house, they all came to inquire, and when they heard that Gu Zhennan sent the money back, they were all very envious.

But if you can't envy it, who says that you don't have a son who is a worker.

Wang Guiying said that the person who helped repair the house was given back the money, and a large number of people volunteered at once.

In the past, people generally repaired adobe houses, because it was pure manual work, and everyone generally helped each other, today I will help you, tomorrow you will help me, so generally do not need to be paid, just take care of food.

But this time, the Gu family repaired a brick house, and it was a skilled plasterer, which ordinary people couldn't do, so of course they had to pay for it.

However, Wang Guiying is reluctant to use bricks for the outer wall, or mud, so he has to hire some helpers.

But everyone works together, some people have money, some people don't have money, and they feel that it is unreasonable, so everyone takes care of the food, and the money for plasterers is more, and the money for building fences is less.

After picking two skilled plasterers and a few strong young men, the Gu family started work.

Guo Xiang was also watching the excitement from the sidelines.

It was not unusual for her to see a brick wall in her previous life, but it was the first time she had seen a mud wall.

It turned out that he went to the mountains to pull the yellow mud back, and then put a box-like mold nailed with wooden boards on the foundation of the stone barrier, and added the yellow mud to the mold.

Mix an appropriate amount of water to increase the viscosity, and then a few young men take huge wooden stakes and press on them, and they are sturdy, half a meter and half a meter like this, and then a wall is built.

This is pure effort, the wall must be pressed very tightly, otherwise it will easily collapse when it rains.

The top should be covered with a layer of tiles or plastic film and straw to avoid being washed away by water.

The brick walls were built very quickly, and they were finished in a few days.

Guo Xiang asked them to paint the walls white inside and out, so that the house was bright and the outside of the house looked good.

The brick wall has been built, but the wall has not yet been built.

Guo Xiang simply asked the masters to pour cement on the ground in the yard, so that the whole house was like new, and it was much more convenient to dry rice in the yard.

Wang Guiying originally had an opinion, but after thinking about it, it would be convenient to dry millet in the future, so she had nothing to say.

In this way, the house was really repaired before Gu Zhendong went to school.

People from the village came to visit one after another, envious.

During this period, the state also sent some subsidies, but a family is only a few dozen yuan, and the average family is enough to repair the collapsed mud wall, buy some household goods, and then take care of the new house of the Gu family, which is really greedy.

It's not exactly new, but the wooden walls inside are clean, and the walls are so white and the floor is so flat, like brand new.

"Our house is so beautiful!" Guo'er sighed, "It's like new!" ”

"It's almost new!" Gu Zhendong also admired.

They never thought they would be able to live in such a nice house.

It was only after my sister-in-law came that these changes came.

Although the eldest brother used to have a salary, the family was struggling to pay off the debts, and there was not much left every month.

And the eldest brother is not young, he wants to marry a daughter-in-law and ask for a bride price, although it may not be so much, but if he wants to take out the money to build a house, it is not so fast.

I don't know what kind of person my sister-in-law will be, if it is a person who cares about her mother's family, then the eldest brother's money may not have anything to do with them, and there may be a breakup.

But Guo Xiang's sister-in-law has changed too much since she came, although she also owes debts, but she paid it off at once, and she built a house, even the former eldest brother didn't have this ability.

So they felt that it was the sister-in-law who brought good luck to the eldest brother.

"Sister-in-law, I think I'm so happy now!" Guo'er hugged Guo Xiang and looked up at her with admiration.

Guo Xiang smiled, touched the fruit's little brain, and suddenly had a sense of accomplishment like a mother.

"It will be better in the future!" Guo Xiang said.

"Well, definitely!" Guo'er nodded vigorously, she knew that her sister-in-law would definitely say that she would be.

After the summer vacation, Gu Zhendong also had to go to school, and Wang Guiying also packed him with some rice, some sweet potatoes, and delicious kimchi as before. But this time I brought him a few eggs.

Then I gave another ten yuan, and when the food was finished, I could only buy it at school.

Guo Xiang quietly gave Gu Zhendong twenty yuan, and he was taken aback, "Sister-in-law, I don't need so much!" ”

"This is my sister-in-law's own money, don't worry. I still have the money to help foreigners last time! Guo Xiang was afraid that he would deliberately mention this stubble.

"Now is the time for you to grow your body, don't save it, eat more, you see that your eldest brother is so tall, you are a little bit different." Guo Xiang said.

Gu Zhendong's face flushed, yes, the eldest brother is 1.85 meters, and he is only 1.72 meters now, even if he can grow for another two years, he can't grow 1.8 meters, how can the same father and mother be so bad?

"Participate in more sports activities at school, play more basketball, and still grow!" Guo Xiang said with a smile.

"Well, listen to my sister-in-law." Gu Zhendong nodded.

"Study hard at school, don't worry about the family, there is a sister-in-law at home." Guo Xiang said again.

Gu Zhendong nodded, his eyes were a little red, "My sister-in-law is too worried about it at home!" ”

Guo Xiang suddenly felt that he was a little verbose, he really looked like an old mother, more than Wang Guiying.

I couldn't help but giggle.
