Chapter 44: New Houses Built
Early in the morning, when she got up, her mother-in-law was not at home.
Last night, I heard my mother-in-law say that the vegetables in her vegetable field can be eaten, and I don't have to think about it to know that I went to the vegetable garden.
It's been a few days since the start of the new house, and this is how she has arranged her lunch these days. Eating meat and vegetables once and twice a day is a luxury for the third brother, so they work very hard.
After washing up and eating breakfast, I was about to go out to find my mother-in-law, but I didn't expect Mrs. Liao to come.
Liao Po was carrying a large basket in her hand, and the basket was full of small green vegetables, which looked very fresh.
Seeing this, she asked, "Po Liao, what are you doing here?" ”
Liao lifted the basket and put it in her hand, smiling kindly.
"For your family, the workers need to eat, I have a lot of them, and it's a waste if I can't finish eating, so I'll send you some."
After hearing this, she nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Liao, you wait for me to go back to the room to get you the money." ”
When Liao heard that she was going to give money, he hurriedly grabbed her and said with a straight face: "No, what you say is given is given, how can you give money." ”
"Granny Liao, it's already difficult for you to live alone, if I take your dish today, my mother-in-law will say, if you don't want money, then I don't want this dish either."
After speaking, he stuffed the basket back to Liao Po, and the expression on his face was very serious.
Seeing her like this, the Liao family hesitated for a while, knowing that the Yang family was back, and seeing them at the door, he hurriedly came over and asked, "Aunt Liao, why don't you come into the house and sit." ”
When Ke Xuan saw her mother-in-law, she immediately said: "Mother, Mother Liao has sent food to our family, I count the money, but Liao Po refuses to ask for it." ”
As soon as Yang heard this, his face changed, and he turned his head to look at Liao.
"Aunt Liao, if you don't take the money, then I don't want this dish."
Liao Shi looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, sighed, glared at them, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's up to you, count the money, but you are not allowed to give more, otherwise my wife will take the vegetables back and won't give them to you." ”
She laughed with her mother-in-law, and then her mother-in-law said, "Okay, I guarantee that the market price will be calculated for you, and I will definitely not give you an extra penny." ”
After speaking, she carried the vegetable basket into the house to get the money, and she said to Liao Po: "Liao Po, go into the house and sit for a while and then go back!" ”
Liao was not polite and followed in.
After a while, the mother-in-law brought the money, about fifteen yuan, and handed it to Liao Po, who counted it, nodded with satisfaction, and put the money in her pocket with a smile.
"Aunt Liao, if you have a lot of food, send it to me! I didn't grow much at home, and I didn't have enough to eat. The mother-in-law said with a smile.
Liao nodded: "Okay, there are still a lot of vegetables in the vegetable field, and my wife can't eat them alone." ”
"Then it's decided, it's still at today's price."
"Okay." Liao knew that they didn't want to take money, so they didn't say anything anymore. But when I thought of her new house, I asked, "How is your house going?" ”
"The foundation is up, and we will start working on it today."
Seeing her mother-in-law chatting with Liao Po, she smiled and went back to the kitchen to get the dustpan for vegetables. You have to wash the dishes out early, or you won't have time to make lunch.

Time flickered, a month passed, and the weather turned colder. The new house is just right, completed in a month. Because no one dared to come to this place, no one came to make trouble, so the house went smoothly.
She stood in front of the new house and said to her mother-in-law next to her with a smile: "Mother, isn't this house beautiful?" ”
Yang nodded again and again: "Beautiful." ”
The exterior of this house is different from the one in the village, the outer wall is more than two meters high, and there are small pointed iron rods stuck on it, each ten centimeters apart. There is also a large iron gate, which is particularly strong, but it also costs a lot of money. The house inside is square, with four bedrooms, one living room and one kitchen.
The hut is at the back, next to the wall, the kitchen has a small door that can be accessed, the bather is next to it, and the manure tank is outside the wall.
Yang looked at her sideways after looking at her for a long time.
"Ke Xuan, we shouldn't have any money left now, right?"
She nodded, "Well, not much." ”
Yang frowned, she saw her mother-in-law like this, then frowned, and asked, "Mother, what are you frowning for?" ”
"We still have to invite people from the village to warm up this house before we can live in it, and we can't afford it."
After listening to her mother-in-law's words, she understood that in her memory, she had to invite people from the village to come to the new house for a meal to make a new house, Tujili. However, there are also uninvited, very few. Seeing that her mother-in-law was worried about this, she said.
"Mother, it's okay if you don't invite, those are all superstitions."
Yang also knew that it was superstition, but if he was not invited, the people in the village would definitely gossip. But after thinking about it, I have a lot of gossip, and it's not bad for this.
"Okay, then listen to you, let's not invite, I don't believe I'll be unlucky."
After hearing her mother-in-law like this, she couldn't help laughing, feeling that her mother-in-law also had a cute side.
In the village, everyone saw Yang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law carrying things to the new house, and knew that the house was ready.
When Zhao Li saw them, she immediately came over with a smile.
"Yo, it's a new house! Sister-in-law Yang, when are you going to invite everyone to have a drink! ”
She glanced at her at the same time as her mother-in-law, and didn't intend to ignore this Zhao Li, and walked directly to the new house.
Seeing this, Zhao Li was willing to let them go, and shouted at the top of her voice: "Could it be that there is no money to invite everyone to eat at the bar!" If this house is not warm, it will be unlucky. ”
"It's not you who is unlucky, you don't have to worry about salty radishes." She asked her mother-in-law to go first and stopped directly.
After listening to her words, Zhao Li's eyes widened, and she said in surprise: "I really don't have the money to invite wine!" ”
"Does it matter if you have money? Even if I invite wine, I don't invite your family, I'm afraid that my house will be dirty. She stepped forward.
Zhao Li's face changed, and she said with a gloomy face: "What do you mean by this?" ”
"That's what you think in your heart." She smiled, but it was a little cold.
"You..."
"What are you, if you have this leisure to care about my family's affairs, it is better to go home and teach your daughter to be a man, and learn to hook up with other people's men at a young age, and I don't know if the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked."
Zhao Li was so angry that her face turned red, and she saw that the people around her were looking at her, her eyes were full of disgust and contempt, she couldn't be angry, and she raised her hand and fanned down the person in front of her.
She easily dodged the slap and gave Zhao a slap.
"Don't think you're the only one who can hit someone."
"You dare to hit me?" Zhao Li covered her feverish face and glared at her through gritted teeth.
She smiled and said, "Who have I been afraid of in this Lijia Village?" Why don't I dare to hit you. Besides, if people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, it's because you want to beat me that I will fight back, and all the fathers and villagers present can testify. ”
Zhao Li glanced at everyone, and saw that a large part of them were helping her Ye Kexuan, so she turned her head and left, and when she left, she secretly said in her heart: Wait, I will pay back this slap ten times over.
