At more than two o'clock in the morning, Ping An woke up on time, and with a "wow", Zhang Guoqing looked at his left and didn't find his son, and he was so frightened that he sweated out. Turning around, I saw Zhou Jiao staring at her son with her eyes, the two husbands and wives looked at each other stupidly, and after a while, Zhou Jiao woke up and let him sleep first. When she finishes eating, she will go back to sleep after changing her diaper.

Zhang Guoqing opened his eyes and watched her skillfully pick up her son after he was full, in order to prevent milk from leaking, and gently patted his little back, which was reassuring.

When the rooster crowed, Zhang Guoqing woke up, and when he saw his watch, it was only past four o'clock. Today he didn't plan to get up so quickly, he lay quietly on the bed, closed his eyes and recuperated, stared for a while, and woke up until 5:30 before he gently got up and put on his clothes. looked at the two mothers and children in their arms, grinned, and then went out cautiously.

After washing, Zhang Guoqing changed his patched clothes, and took the changed clothes, pants, and his son's diapers to the well to wash them, and hung them on the bamboo poles in the yard to dry clothes.

When he went to the backyard and watched them pull weeds and apply fertilizer, he said hello to them, and far away from the fertilizer field, he also picked up a shovel to loosen the soil, broke up the lumpy mud, and the old grass roots also got up and threw them aside. The father and son were busy in the backyard. After returning to the hall, the three brothers listened to Father Zhang's general arrangements today.

After breakfast, Zhang Guoqing went back to the room, saw that Zhou Jiao had already gotten up for breakfast, and was sitting in the living room, hugging his son and humming a nursery rhyme.

"Jiaojiao, I'm going to help out at the new house next door in the morning. You have something to ask the Kiko at home to call me. After eating at noon, I had to go to the provincial capital to return the car, and by the way, I passed by the county principal and asked about the college entrance examination. See if there's anything you want to bring, write it down on a note, and come back to me at noon. Zhang Guoqing said as he looked at the briquettes on the stove.

Picking up tongs, he went outside and grabbed a briquette, came back and changed the burned briquettes under the stove, and stabbed them at the hole. Put white fungus on the briquette stove.

"I remember that there were two boiled eggs in the kettle, and I will eat them later. I also drank white fungus soup. If you have a job, don't do it yourself, let them call me. Zhang Guoqing cleaned up, and ordered again uneasily.

When she responded, she kissed the mother and son, and reluctantly went out.

In just a few days, the two courtyards have already taken shape. There were a lot of people working here. In the middle of the two courtyards, a large number of materials such as green stones, clay embryos, and straw were piled up. Early in the morning, there were people coming back from the foot of the mountain one after another, carrying stones. In the main house and the east and west wings of the two courtyards, you can see the apprentices of the master bricklayer busy with their work, and they are also directing the helpers. Looking at it from afar, it was like a game, and he didn't take a breath and hurried to work.

Looking at the two courtyards, Zhang Guoqing raised his eyebrows in surprise, is this a class at the same time?

Zhang Guoqing greeted everyone with a smile and walked quickly to Daddy Zhang. Listening to the words of the master bricklayer and Daddy Zhang, I was a little eyebrow-raising.

This morning he made an embryo with the big mud. Watching Daddy Zhang, they were busy mixing the clay, the straw, the hemp, the mud and the sand with water, and finally stirring them into a thin mud, so that the better it was.

He didn't understand, he just did whatever he wanted, he felt that the more he was and the more sticky, the more sticky and tired, and he had to pour water repeatedly. Four or five people were stirring vigorously with shovels. Later, I didn't even want to speak, so I held my breath and worked. This work must be done continuously, in cooperation with the master bricklayer.

Zhang Guoqing looked at the small courtyard not far away. I immediately understood why those strong laborers in the village could not build a house, and the three generations of the family slept on a kang. I guess I'm too tired with the mud. Even if there is a green stone, the soil embryo is still hard work, and it must be prepared in advance.

His own family and Da Ni are all done by his own brothers, and in the past few days, his eldest brother and second brother have taken a few cousins to wrap up these words. It is estimated that the brothers can't lift their arms, so they will be strong.

He planned to talk to his father secretly after lunch. Find a few people who are in difficulty at home, and don't delay them from going to work, so come early in the morning to help. Just ready, wait for the master to come. Or ask the master if he knows anyone who specializes in this, and let him introduce more. Don't talk about the money with the second brother, he will give it secretly. Otherwise, if you continue to do this, the gains outweigh the losses.

Seeing that his father and uncle were making clay embryos, they were also similar to what they did, and they were all holding their breath and exerting themselves. Repeatedly, the machine works. His mind ran away, silently pondering many things. For example, how much time does it take to live in this house? If it weren't for the roots of his hometown, he really didn't plan to build a house. But this house is different, it was given to him by his father. In the future, when they celebrate festivals and worship their ancestors, they will come back, this is their root, their peace, and their children, their children and grandchildren.

Counting the money in hand, the ginseng, fur and seventy-seven eighty-eight were spent, and the 2,800 yuan was only less than 2,000 yuan. He didn't plan to sell the wild things he hunted years ago. It's too late to buy now, who will sell? That's no income.

In the end, he decided to buy a small yard in the county seat, as long as it was safe and clean. By the way, I looked for Zhao Dashan to implement the work problem, and just inquired about the house near him. As for Zuo Linna, when his father-in-law comes back, he will find a chance to mention the matter of the second brother.

Zhang Guoqing worked so the machine, his brain was open, and in the end, he didn't know where his thoughts went. When others saw it, they all thought that this Zhang Xiaowu was a good guy. Look at it, work that hard. One person tops three people. I heard that the generals of his Yue family are here. I thought it would be different from usual.

Look, it's still the same as before. When I see people, I call my uncle and brother. It's very affectionate, and there is no slacking off. Speak politely, and don't be lazy when you work.

Even the bricklayer master, who has never been very praised, secretly envied Zhang Dayou. patted Zhang Dayou: "Brother, my son is a top one, so blessed." Look at your three sons. Look at your little five again, what is this kid like, everything is topping. When people go high, they don't change their original intentions. I used to hear people talk about your fifth child, but I thought it was an exaggeration. He's a good boy. ”

Zhang Dayou laughed, the corners of his mouth were raised high, and no one could see his pride. He said modestly: "That's it." Growing up in the countryside is a strength, but it's not what it looks like. ”

Within a radius of several hundred miles, the grandfather of the old Zhang family, Zhang Guoqing, began to be in charge, and now he is the fifth generation of descendants. Ten miles and eight towns, who does not exaggerate the good style of the family.

After Zhang Dayou's three brothers separated, they also blocked things together. There are more than a dozen brothers and sisters in Zhang Guoqing's generation, and all of them are not lazy and do not pay attention to filial piety. Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and concubines all get along well.

His grandfather made a rule when he was alive, except for the eldest son who followed his parents, the other children would be separated after a year of marriage. Not to mention that the relationship between the concubines in their family is harmonious, that is, the mother-in-law is reasonable and generous.

Just this separation is another way, and people who have daughters like to be willing to marry them. It's a pity that the parents of their third room mainly depend on the child's mind when choosing a daughter-in-law. said that they would live their own lives after getting married, unless the other party would really cause trouble and have a bad reputation.

Since ancient times, the parents have been in charge of wedding cigarettes. But the old Zhang family is good, and the child is in charge. What's even more helpless is that the children of the Zhang family are more top-notch than the other, have good character, and never talk to girls casually. Especially after Zhang Guoqiang, who was from Zhang's second family, married Lin Juhua, who was not in the right household, he made the poor family with daughters stare at the Zhang family. It's a pity that even the youngest Zhang Guoqing married a daughter-in-law. It will be many years before the grandchildren grow up. This makes countless families with daughters secretly hate.

The Zhang family was vigorous, and built two large courtyards at once, and I heard that the same big yard as the old courtyard. There are many people in the village who are secretly thinking about Zhang's second family. This is not a three-to-five earthen embryo room, look at the piled up of big bluestones, and the earthen embryo. In the past, the landlord's family was not so generous. This is not a thatched house, but a grand courtyard. I heard that the old man of the Zhang family is still alive, so he will go to the provincial city to study. Why do several families at the foot of Beishan marry daughters-in-law and are all good daughters? This yard alone knows that the family is doing well.

Some families in the village saw that their son should marry a daughter-in-law, and they also built a yard at the foot of Beishan, and the younger generation had never seen the three brothers of Zhang's father build a yard at the beginning, so they secretly observed the yard of the old Zhang family.

All of a sudden, more and more people came and went in the new yard every day, and everyone came to help when they didn't work.
