Chapter 103: Aftermath

"Mengmeng has packed up, and you have brought all your things?"

"Bring it all"

"Let's go"

The car drove through a ring and ran south,

"Mengmeng, grandma asked people to build a bathhouse, so you don't have to go to the bathhouse on the street to take a bath."

"Really?"

"That's a lot more convenient"

Three hours later, I arrived home.

Li Qing went to the backyard to see that the tap water had entered the house, and the kitchen faucet could not be used, so he had to go to the faucet in the backyard to put water in the water, and then fill it with three buckets and then lift it to the kitchen one by one, Li Qing was puzzled.

In the corner of the backyard, there is a new bathroom, about three square meters, equipped with an electric water heater and a small simple washbasin.

After lunch, Li Qing and Ouyang came to Li Yun's house, the current business street is very different from before, there are only a handful of pedestrians on the street.

Li Yun frowned slightly and said

"There is no business now, if we hadn't brought our granddaughter, we would have let Jia Hao go out to work.

Jia Ren and his daughter-in-law earn money, and they don't give us a penny, they are all in the hands of their daughter-in-law, and their granddaughter is usually here with us, eating, drinking, and toys.

As soon as we go to the street, we have to buy this, and if we want to buy that, it's all our money.

If you drink milk powder, you have to drink a good one, and if you don't drink it, it's hundreds of yuan when you hear it."

"Your own grandson doesn't give her flowers, hahaha"

"On Sunday, Jia Ren came back to live, and he didn't come down upstairs, and the trash cans in the upstairs room were full, and neither of them fell.

You want me to go up and take it down."

"Now their generation is like this, it's not your family."

"Isn't Sister Ouyang too, complaining when we meet:

The retirement salary of the old couple adds up to four or five thousand yuan per month, which is very good in a small county, and the county has a small house.

In order to take the granddaughter to the provincial capital, the county house is empty, go to the son's house to live, usually the family firewood, rice, oil, salt, living expenses, granddaughter snacks, are the old couple's money, the eldest sister said to take a hundred yuan to the street, turn around and spend it all, hahaha, the son is only responsible for paying the mortgage, and the daughter-in-law will pay the water and electricity property fees. ”

Li Qing saw that the small square behind was demolished,

"How did the small bungalow in the back be demolished?"

"Later, the vegetable market was rebuilt, and the small bungalows were only rented, and now the town has taken it back."

"Oh..."

"Qing'er, what about your mother's newly built kitchen?"

"Are you the ones over there that Jia Ren took over some of the kitchen and bathroom materials?"

"Jia Ren took a photo to show you?"

"I've seen it"

"A total of more than 10,000 yuan. Nothing else."

"Call Hou Jiufeng'er and let us do the math together."

"Call Hou Jiu just won't come"

"Feng'er doesn't work, she can't be a home,

Yesterday the bricklayer came to my shop to ask for wages, and I owe him 5,000 yuan."

"The work is done, so you have to make the final payment, right? You can't settle it all at once. ”

"We've got all the doors cleared."

"Hou Jiu didn't come, he was drunk and crazy last time, and he said that he would give him cement money"

"It's a bummer."

"Now he doesn't take money for his mother's kitchen, if his mother is sick, he also plays a scoundrel and doesn't take money, the old house is not worth anything now, if it is worth more in the future, he will get no less money than the two of us."

"If it's really difficult, tell me about it, I won't bother with you as a sister, it's really like this..."

Li Yun was so angry that he scolded Hou Jiulai

"What a man! I know that I won't let Feng'er marry him if I kill him! It's just a pig and a dog! …”

"It's really not good, go to the public to get a certificate."

"Hou Jiuren is not present, and there is not much money, so I make others laugh, and my mother is not comfortable? Mom hopes that the three sisters will be harmonious."

"I really shouldn't have built this kitchen, what are you spending this money for? Nearly eighty people, if there are three long and two short, the money is not thrown away in vain, now, our business on the street is so bad, it is difficult to make money, and the granddaughter eats and drinks all ours. ”

"The houses are all built, why are you talking about this, Mom's health is better than anything else."

Li Yun, Li Qing, and Ouyang came to the old house together.

"Mom, take the Hou Jiu cement account you recorded, I'll take a look, Mom, you write a list, how much money each of the three sisters spends, record it."

Li Qing looked at Song Nanzhi's gray hair and moist eyes, and he couldn't bear to count it like this.

"You asked me to build a kitchen, and now you don't care about me"

Li Qing walked to the door, and Li Yun walked over, his eyes rolling

looked at Li Qing and said fiercely

"Master bricklayer, if you go to my shop tomorrow to ask for money, I will ask him to come to my mother to ask for money!"

Li Qing knew very well in his heart that Li Yun had done it!

Li Qing walked up to Song Nanzhi,

"Mom, I'll transfer 5,000 yuan to Jia Ren later, and let Jia Ren transfer it to the bricklayer master."

As soon as he got home, Jia Ren called,

"Second aunt, the bricklayer master is asking for money."

"Oh, I'll pass it on to you right away"

Li Qing transferred 5,000 yuan to Jia Ren on WeChat and received a text message from Jia Ren

"Second aunt, the money has been received"

Li Qing thought about it carefully, and was really speechless.

"Mengmeng, aren't you going to take a bath? There was water in the water heater,"

"Hmm" Meng Meng took off her coat, sweater, and leggings, wearing only a set of underwear, taking a change of underwear from the room in the east room, passing through the back door to the backyard and turning to the corner bathroom,

"Mengmeng, why did you run back to the room again?"

"Small Solution"

"Just solve it in the bathroom, giggles"

"No toilet"

"Hurry up, don't freeze and catch a cold"

Meng Meng ran to the bathroom after a small break from the spittoon in the east house.

After Meng Meng washed up, she sat on the bamboo chair at the door of the bathroom, wiped her feet with a dry towel, changed into cotton mops, returned to the East House, dried her hair with a hair dryer, put on a clean coat and ran to her cousin's house to play.

Li Qing also came to her sister-in-law's house to play, and Li Qing asked her sister-in-law

"The third sister-in-law used to come to the front every year to play, why don't you come now?"

"She, how can she be free now?"

Li Qing had a questioning look on his face

"Didn't the eldest daughter in the provincial capital give birth last year? She went to her eldest daughter's house and brought her grandson. ”

"Can't my mother-in-law come and bring it?"

"Mother-in-law coming? Father-in-law is also coming, father-in-law smokes and drinks, two stalls a day, when the time comes, it is not them waiting for the confinement, but to help, the daughter also hopes that her mother goes, of course it is the best, the third sister-in-law is so capable, who knows, after the confinement, the third sister-in-law will not come back, has been taking the grandson at the eldest daughter's house, sometimes take time to go home on Sunday, but also rush back to the provincial capital in a hurry, the third sister-in-law can not go out to work at the daughter's house to earn money, the third cousin is not in good health, thin and small, can not earn money, How to do it in the future, there is still a little daughter who has not yet started a family, she is old, how can she do it without two money in her hand, all of them reach out to the child to ask, this... Children have difficulties with children. What's more, there is a son-in-law, some time ago, I didn't know how to do it, the third sister-in-law went home, the son-in-law drove to the long-distance bus station, and the son-in-law didn't buy the ticket for her, or bought it at her own expense! The youngest daughter had already told her mother that we would get married and have children in two years, and she would help us take care of the children. The little son-in-law was an orphan and still had no money to buy a house. ”

Li Qing: "...."

"Don't take Wang Wang with the child next time, it's thankless"

After dinner,

Li Qing asked Ouyang

"Have you taken a shower?"

"I washed it the day before yesterday, and I'll take a shower at thirty."

"Then I'm going to take a shower"

Li Qing went to the toilet first,

"Mengmeng, I don't want to run around like you, giggles"

"Hahaha"

Li Qing took off his coat and prepared to take a bath in the large plastic basin leaning against the backyard wall.

Li Qing poured some laundry detergent in the basin, washed the plastic basin with his hands, no longer slippery, took it into the bathroom, put it on the ground, and locked the door.

Reaching out to turn on the hot water switch of the water heater, the water was pouring out from the flowers, Li Qing tested the water temperature with his hands, the water temperature was a little high, and the water temperature was lowered.

Wrap the flower sprinkler with a towel and place it at the mouth of the basin, and the hot water flows down the towel into the basin.

When the water was released, Li Qing took off his clothes, and when the water in the basin reached half of the basin, Li Qing reached out and turned off the power switch of the water heater.

Pour water over your body with a towel... Finally, put the sprinklers back on the wall shelf and rinse them from the beginning.

After Li washed the shower, put on a set of underwear, opened the door, sat on the bamboo chair at the door of the bathroom, wiped his feet and changed into cotton slippers. I heard Jiang Cui shouting loudly in the Westinghouse

"Don't turn off the water heater, just leave it on."

"Why are you still driving when you don't take a shower?"

Li Qing asked Ouyang,

"If it's off, it's off."

The next day, before Li Qing got up, Jiang Cui was roaring

"Don't move the water heater, don't move the water heater, the installer has adjusted me, don't screw it around!" Let you break it!

Don't turn off the electricity! The electric water heater boils water very slowly, and if the switch is not turned off, there will be hot water! You've done it, you've broken it! “

Li Qing muttered in front of Ouyang

"I just turned the water down a bit, what's wrong? I'll turn it back again, the power should be turned off when taking a shower, and it's not safe to boil water while taking a shower. ”

Li Qing explained to Ouyang,

"Mom can't read, don't you understand? I'm coming and going to transfer back."

Li Qing couldn't laugh or cry.

Li Qing got up, got out of bed and pulled his hair,

"Mengmeng, do you want to relieve yourself, I'm going to pour the spittoon"

"I'm up, I can't sleep well, why are I more nervous than going to school?"

"You might as well get up, your grandmother will come to urge you to have breakfast."

Li Qing picked up the spittoon, walked through the hall, and went to the toilet.

After cleaning and brushing the spittoon, Li came to the East House, picked up the basin, took a towel, toothbrush, and cup, went to the hall to squeeze some toothpaste, picked up the basin, went to the kitchen to pick up a bottle of hot water, and walked to the bathroom.

Li finished washing and came out of the bathroom,

Meng Meng held a cup in one hand and a toothbrush stained with toothpaste in the other, and walked straight to the bathroom.

"Mengmeng, brush your teeth, brush your teeth next to the gate, don't go to the bathroom to brush your teeth."

Li Qing pretended not to hear it, and walked back to the east room, where Ouyang was in the room.

"What do you mean? Build a bathroom and don't let you brush your teeth in the bathroom, Golden Dragon Palace, don't urge me to come back next time, it's annoying. ”

"Oh, I brushed my teeth at the gate in the morning and didn't go to the bathroom"

On the first day of the first lunar month, I still went to Song Nanzhi's residence to party.

Ouyang, Li Qing and Meng Meng, got up early, went to the village to worship one by one, and came back for breakfast after worshipping, Jiang Cui put noodles on the earthen stove, and there was shredded meat and egg skin chicken soup in the wok as toppings, and the Chengjin family also came back after worshipping the family in the village.

Li Qing filled the bowl of noodles, scooped up some toppings, picked up the bowl and walked out, and met Jiang Cui at the kitchen door entering the door, Jiang Cui's eyes stared directly at Li Qing's bowl, Li Qing flashed to the side and walked away.
