Volume 1 Chapter 29 Building the Courtyard Wall
When she got home, Qiao Xi handed over the matter of contacting the work to her eldest brother, and she became the shopkeeper, she had already expressed what she wanted to say, and she believed that her eldest brother would be able to get things done.
said that the whole family should work together, and also divide something for him to do, so as not to make her eldest brother think that he is a useless person.
Qiao Song had something to do, patted his chest and promised that it would be done.
Qiao Song's affairs went very smoothly, whether it was the Hua family, the Li family, or other helpers, they agreed in one bite. The people Qiao Song is looking for are basically friends with the Qiao family before, and he is not generous enough to ask those who are right and wrong behind his back to help, even if the head of the family is a good one, but the daughter-in-law has no door keeper on her mouth, and not many people will be willing to invite such a person to work, and there may be some trouble at that time.
The people who were invited, who didn't sigh at the changes in the Qiao family brothers and sisters, relying on a little business with the restaurant in the town, the whole family has undergone great changes, but they don't know it yet, and when they really know how many courtyard walls they want to build, the sigh in their hearts is getting deeper and deeper, and they can catch up with the more wealthy families in the village.
No matter what they thought in their hearts, the two days passed quickly, and the owner of the brick and tile workshop also delivered the green bricks to the door at the agreed time.
Boss Chen set off from the workshop early in the morning, and when he arrived at Qiaojia Village, the sky was already bright, and a few cars came to Qiaojia Village, pulling a car of green bricks into Qiaojia Village, and the axles pressed against the road and made a creaking sound.
It was a blue brick, the body was more planted, and the place where the axle was pressed left a mark.
So many cars entered the village, which instantly alarmed the entire Qiaojia Village, and many people ran to the entrance of the village to see the excitement.
After inquiring, I found out that these green bricks were going to be pulled to the Qiao family's brothers and sisters' house, so many green bricks, they were planning to build a house? Those who watched the excitement were frightened by their own thoughts.
But there are also some people who seem to have thought of something, only to realize that they have taken action early in the morning, the day before yesterday they also saw Qiao Song go to a few families in the village, at that time I didn't know what he was going to do, now these green bricks appeared, what else do not understand, it seems that the life of the Qiao family brothers and sisters has really changed, and even the house can be built.
"Wujin Niang, you said that these green bricks were really bought by the Qiao brothers and sisters, they can't be fake, right?" Gao's heart was indescribably sour after seeing these green bricks, in the village, her house and Lizheng's house were blue brick houses, and the Qiao brothers and sisters who were once despised by her were now actually building blue brick houses, and her sense of superiority disappeared in an instant, very unhappy.
It costs a lot of money to buy so many bricks, and her family's original house was not all built of green bricks.
Jiao glanced at Gao and said, "There is only one brick and tile workshop in the town, who doesn't know what Boss Chen is like, how can he deceive people." Seeing that others are going to build a new house, I feel uncomfortable. "Jiao's is not afraid of Gao's, who doesn't know her in the village, she only talks about others all day long, and she likes to chew her tongue.
"What do you mean, what do you mean that I feel uncomfortable, so many green bricks are dozens of taels, they sell so much fish, they can make so much money, don't joke, who knows how much money ......"
"Stop, what do you want to say yourself, don't say it in front of me, be careful of the trouble." Juxianlou's gossip is not so easy to say, I heard that the boss behind this is from the capital, maybe the family is an official,
"Cut, I'll just say how to drop." Gao didn't feel that he was wrong at all, the impoverished family has undergone such a big change in just half a year, how can people not be suspicious? Qiao Xi's girl is not a good one, that time she saw them go fishing, and she found a lot of reasons, saying that the family has no money and can only catch fish to satisfy hunger, and the little girl who lies a lot. Dare to catch fish is not to eat it by yourself at all, but to sell it to Juxian Lou in the town, which is the best restaurant, even her son has only been there a few times, or accompanied their shopkeeper to go, where a simple vegetable can be sold for more than ten Wen, and more than ten Wen can be used for a few days.
"No, it's useless to tell me, if you have the ability, you can go to Qiao's house and say it." People can't fight with you, why do you like to mix other people's things so much, just look at the excitement, your family is rich, and others are not so sour.
"Heh, what would I not dare." Gao really didn't have anything to fear, what happened if she doubted it? It's not a matter of whether this money is clean.
"Hmph......" Jiao Shi scoffed, what can she do, isn't she the most bad reputation, and she can do it.
After Boss Chen inquired about the specific location of Qiao Xi's house, he pulled the convoy towards the end of the village, and as for the people watching the excitement, he was not surprised.
When I was halfway there, I ran into the man I saw that day, "Boss Chen, you're here, I still want to pick you up at the entrance of the village." When Qiao Song saw Boss Chen, he said with a smile.
"I understand the kindness of the little brother, let's lead the way."
"Okay, here, please."
When he arrived at the ground, Boss Chen commanded people to unload the goods, and they were all used to it, and many of them unloaded the green bricks on several cars.
Hua Zeming and Li Guang learned the news and came over to help and put the green bricks in one place.
After unloading the green bricks, Qiao Xi settled the balance together by the way.
Boss Chen left with the convoy in a hurry.
"Xi girl, let's work in the afternoon." Hua Zeming saw that the green bricks had been delivered, so he thought about starting work early and finishing things early, and then it would definitely hit a snowy day, and he could only stay at home and not go out when it snowed, and the snowy day was too cold.
"Okay, count your day's wages." Qiao Xi said with a smile.
"No, no, half a day." He was worried that he would come to work in the afternoon, but he was not greedy for her half-day's wages.
"Uncle, you still listen to Xiaoxi about this." Qiao Song also agrees with his sister's decision, the weather is getting colder and colder, and it is estimated that it will probably snow in a few days, I don't know what the snow will be this year? Don't have any snow disasters!
"This~~"
"Okay, just listen to Xiao Song and Xiao Xi." Li Guang pulled Hua Zeming and asked him to stop talking, these two children have ideas now, and what they are facing now is not a child, but a person who is in charge. "Xiao Song, Xiao Xi, let's go back first, and come back in the afternoon." Li Guang pulled Hua Zeming and left Qiao's house.
"Brother Li, what are you pulling me for? It is not easy for their children to earn some money. Not far from Qiao's house, Hua Zeming broke free from Li Guang's shackles.
"You, you can't treat them as children anymore, now the Qiao family is Xiaoxi in charge, naturally she is what she says, we have to put her in the same position." Li Guang explained to him.
Hua Zeming thought about Li Guang's words, he shouldn't be able to treat them as children anymore, which family's children are so young that they have to start showing their faces for a living. "Hey, I see."
In the afternoon, Qiao Xi's family started construction in full swing, and the people who came to work only then knew that the Qiao brothers and sisters had actually bought the land around them, these green bricks were used to build courtyard walls, obediently, the handwriting was really big enough, and only large families would use green brick walls, and farmers only used yellow mud to build walls, how could they be like this.
After ten days of hard work, the courtyard wall of Qiao Xi's house was finally completed, and now looking to the left at the head of the village, you can see the courtyard wall of their house at a glance, which is really the first in the village.
The people of Qiaojia Village reacted at this time, this Qiao family is really different, they thought that if they lost their father and mother, they would definitely become extremely depressed, but now they really slapped them in the face, no one knew that in just half a year, they actually created such a big family business, and did business with Juxian Building, this day is very promising.
Those who had been friends with the Qiao family were happy for them.
No matter how the Qiao family changes, how it should be, how it should be, the Gao family passed on some bad words in the village, Qiao Xi and they also listened to her, but they ignored her, her mouth grew on other people's bodies, she said it if she wanted to, they lived their own little life, and it didn't hinder anyone or anything.
Jealousy, hatred, envy, what does it have to do with them, as long as they don't take the initiative to destroy the peace of the village, her words will only make her own reputation worse and worse, and the relationship between neighbors will become worse and worse.
She always thinks how powerful her son is, yes, in the eyes of others, one or two pieces of silver a month is indeed something to be proud of, but in Qiao Xi's opinion, she is still short-sighted, she only cares about the present and does not care about the future, if she continues like this, her son's errand will be lost by her. The character of her family also reflects that of her son!
With the block of the courtyard wall, everything in Qiao Xi's house can no longer be peeped at by others.
As soon as the winter solstice passes, the weather gets colder and colder, and snowflakes fall in the sky.
Eight years after coming here, this is the eighth year, and when she saw snow, her mother always ordered her to stay in the house, which is extremely rare for a person who lives in the south.
Without the obstruction of her mother, Qiao Xi is like a kite with a broken string, and she can enjoy herself freely.
The snow outside had not stopped, and Qiao Xi ran out of the house excitedly with her younger brother.
"Shhh...... Sister, I'm cold, let's go back. Qiao Bai shivered as soon as he came out of the house, so cold that he didn't want to go out at all, and he didn't know why Sister Tian, who was so cold, wanted to go out.
"Build a snowman, what's so cold to be afraid of. Hurry up. "It's cold, it's cold, but it's hot inside, she wants to build three snowmen, echoing her family.
"No, I don't want to go, you can go by yourself." He's cold, really cold and can't stand it.
"You're useless, if it's cold again, I'll see you'll be nestled in bed, don't get up." Qiao Xi looked like he hated iron but not steel.
