Chapter 31: Building a House
When Kou Xi returned, he just broke the family's awkward atmosphere.
Zhang Yao glanced at Huo Dagui in a complicated way, and felt aggrieved to death! This is only the first day, I have a feeling of being under the fence, and I really don't know how to spend the whole pregnancy.
She looked at her husband Song Jianguo and found that he was eating meat and vegetables without noticing herself. secretly hated him for being heartless, everyone pointed at his nose and scolded, and he still seemed to be fine.
Here, Gao Li glanced at Kou Xi slowly: "Sister-in-law, why did you come back so late, the family is waiting for you to eat." ”
Kou Xi pretended to be surprised and said, "I didn't let the next door, Aunt Zhang told the family to go to my sister's house to get something! She brought me some sweet garlic! ”
As he spoke, he pulled out a stool and took it to the TV, sat down next to it, smiled at everyone, and said, "You eat yours!"
grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the basket on the cabinet next to him, and watched everyone eat while sipping.
She asked Zhang Yao while knocking melon seeds: "Sister, I found that you seem to be a little fat." Song Jiangang smiled proudly: "Your sister is not fat, your sister is pregnant." ”
Kou Xi pretended to be very surprised, and his face was overjoyed: "Da, you have it again!"
Then he looked worried: "But now that you are strictly controlled, you already have a girl in your family, what should you do with this child? ”
Zhang Yao said with empathy: "No, my family is staring at the belly of the little daughter-in-law right now! Shouldn't I go back to my parents' house to hide, and I'll talk about it when I'm done. It's really not okay to pay a little less. ”
Li Cuilian saw that Huo Dagui was still not very happy on his face, and knew that he was angry at this table of good dishes. for fear that he will lose his temper again and not give himself face. Said to Kou Xi: "You eat less!"
Kou Xi shook his head: "Really, I'm full at my sister's house." ”
Li Cuilian was yin and yang: "It's still your sister's meal." ”
Kou Xi smiled: "It's just coarse tea and light rice." After speaking, he glanced at the dishes on the table. Meaning: "I still don't have a mouthful, today's dish is still quite hearty." It's our mother's handiwork at first glance!"
Here, Huo Tiantian really answered: "The food cooked by grandma is not as delicious as what my aunt cooks!"
Kou Xi pursed his lips and smiled: "Tianyi, you like to eat meatballs, so you think what I make is delicious." If grandma doesn't make meatballs, you will say that grandma's cooking is not delicious. ”
After speaking, she stood up and said to everyone: "You eat first, I'll go back to the room to burn the kang first!"
Huo Dagui waved his hand: "Go!"
Here, Zhang Yao felt panicked while eating, and it was clear just now that people disliked him. Don't know where to live at this time?
Looking cautiously at his mother, he asked softly, "Where are we sleeping today?"
Li Cuilian glanced at Huo Dagui and said, "There are so many places at home, where can I live." “
Gao Liman immediately took over the conversation: "You go to my sister-in-law's house, it's big and spacious or a new house!"
Huo Dagui said: "Live in this house now, and connect the warehouse in the west tomorrow." It can be covered in two days, and then a kang can be built, and you will sleep there this winter!"
Gao Liman was stunned, and a displeased look on his face immediately appeared: "You still want to build a house?"
Huo Dagui: "It doesn't cost much to build a mud house, just pound loess, straw, and glutinous rice to build one." Didn't all the houses in the past be built like this, and they could live for more than 100 years. ”
Zhang Yao also wanted to live in Kouxi's new house, after all, she was pregnant now. Now I have my own room, although it is a small earthen house, which is very good.
Kou Xi has never come out since he returned to his house, and Zhang Yao used to live in his own house. This time she didn't show up, so she wanted to see if Li Cuilian could send her daughter over.
After waiting for a long time when there was no one, she closed the door and went to sleep.
I got up the next morning, fried a plate of cabbage and heated two steamed buns. Eat half and put half in a lunch box. Packed his pockets and went out the door with his bag on his back.
Kou Xi saw Song Jiangang walking around the yard, and thought about going into the house to greet everyone. found Zhang Yao lying on the kang in a daze wearing a vest, and saw her turn her face and look unwilling to take care of her.
Kou Xi laughed for a while, and greeted Li Cuilian who came in: "I'm going to work!"
This is also the fault that Li Cuilian found fault with her in the past, and when she said it, she didn't even say hello to her at work, and she didn't take her mother-in-law in her eyes.
Since then, before going to work every day, Kou Xi has to walk up to Li Cuilian and say solemnly: "I'm going to work!"
Li Cuilian saw her daughter sit up and stepped forward: "You don't have to get up so early when you have a body!
There was no one in the house, and Zhang Yao expressed the unhappiness in her heart. With an awkward face, he said: "You still have to get up early in other people's houses! ”
Li Cuilian felt that this child was too sensitive: "You think too much, this is your mother's house, why can't you sleep late!"
Zhang Yao looked aggrieved: "After all, it's my stepfather, and he played face to me like that yesterday." If he got up too late, he would be even more upset. ”
Li Cuilian rolled her eyes and pouted: "You really have no conscience, what do people have to do to you? They all said that they would build you a house today! Besides, he went out to sell tofu every morning! When he came back, he had to come back at 9:20! Our family usually eats at half past nine! You can sleep until half past eight and get up in the future." ”
After saying that, she took out her sleeves and put them on, and the daughter said, "I'll go make you some pimple soup!"
Seeing her mother walk out of the room, Zhang Yao turned her face and pouted: "No wonder I slept until half past eight, it turned out that they didn't come back until nine o'clock." Hehe, if this is my father, I want to sleep until half past eleven, that's not how it should be. It's really a stepfather and a stepmother!"
Wang Yazhi got up early, fed the pigs, chickens, ducks, and made breakfast. ate two bites casually in the kitchen, and hurried out to find Kou Xi.
Kou Xi arrived at the unit at eight o'clock, and officially opened his doors to do business at half past eight. took 20 yuan from her and bought a ticket to Wangtun to find her uncle-in-law Kou Dewang.
Kou Dewang was very surprised to see Wang Yazhi coming to him, and when he heard her say that he wanted to wholesale some dried fish, his jaw was even more surprised, and his jaw was about to fall to the ground.
"Our family's conditions are not good! My mother-in-law has no money in her hands, so the two of us rely on that little land. If there is a disease or a disaster, it will be over. Wang Yazhi showed a little embarrassment on her face: "Besides, I only gave birth to a daughter to Lao Yu's family, and I will give birth to a son in the future." Seeing that the autumn harvest is coming, there is nothing to do in winter, so the two of us are trying to make some money. It's better than going out for money. ”
Wang Yazhi directly turned what Kou Xi said yesterday into her own reason: "Even if you can't sell it, you can't eat it at home." ”
Kou Dewang nodded: "It's a good thing that you have this heart. ”
In the afternoon, when Kou Xi was about to get off work, he saw Wang Yazhi walking in with a bulging silk bag.
