After Wu Qingmei learned the news, she was also so happy that she pulled Grandma Zheng next door and talked for a while, even going to work in the afternoon, she was very energetic, and she didn't feel tired at all.

"Build a house?" Wu Qingmei was stunned when she heard this.

She never thought that she would build a house one day, because she had neither land nor money in her hands, so she did not dare to think about it at all.

Meng Jiabao knew what her concerns were, and she also knew about her family's situation, so she said, "Don't worry about money, I specially went to the leaders of the commune to explain the situation, and the commune approved a hundred yuan for your family, which can be regarded as a reward for Meng Youyou's classmates." ”

This is also the production team has never encountered such a happy thing for so many years, and even people from the province have come to do interviews and write reports, so that their Mengjiawan production team is famous in front of the people of the province.

"A hundred bucks?" Wu Qingmei said in surprise.

With so much money, she never dared to think that she had never seen so much money in her life.

"yes, happy, huh?" Meng Jiabao nodded, and said with a smile, "If you have the land and the money, you can wait for the autumn harvest to help build the house together, so that you can survive the winter." ”

Building a house in the village is not as good as in the city, as long as you pull some adobe bricks back and give a bowl of rice to eat, most of the people in the village will go to help, or in less than half a month, the house can be built.

And Wu Qingmei's thatched house where they live now is obviously not suitable for a long time, not to mention that it is too hot in summer, and it is too cold in winter, and it is even more rainy outside and light rain inside when it rains.

It is a sin for a man to live, so it is a matter of time before he has to build a house.

Meng Jiabao is not a fool, seeing that Meng Zhenzhen and Meng Youyou are in their third year of high school, after their grades are so good, they can at least enter the factory to eat, if they get the honor of outstanding graduates, they can still enter the unit to work, and get the envy of others.

After working for a few years, if you perform well and make an exception and become a city hukou, you will naturally not return to Mengjiawan after living in the county, and Wu Qingmei may also go to the city to enjoy happiness, and it will have nothing to do with Mengjiawan in the future.

But if there is a house here, then their roots are there, and they will come back wherever they go, and this will always be their home.

Therefore, Meng Jiabao naturally wants to sell them as soon as possible, so that they will miss themselves a little bit, and they will be able to get a smile when they meet in the future.

Wu Qingmei was naturally happy, one happy event after another, and her mouth couldn't close with a smile, "Cheng, then thank you village chief." ”

It has been married to Mengjiawan for one or two decades, this is the first time I have encountered such a happy thing here, and I am glad that I gave birth to two daughters who are so good, making up for all the regrets in her life.

It's a pity that Wu Qingmei is in good spirits at happy events, but the Meng family is a chicken, a dog, and there is no peace.

"Mom, what do you want to eat?" Meng Fu came over with a bowl of noodles, and when he saw that Mrs. Meng had only eaten a few bites and stopped eating, he said helplessly.

Since Meng Gui left home, Mrs. Meng has been like losing her soul, she doesn't like to talk much, she just lies in bed all day long, too lazy to move.

For a day or two, Meng Fu was worried that Mrs. Meng would have physical problems, so he could only ask Zhang Guiqin to try to get her something delicious, hoping that she could eat a little bit.

Mrs. Meng snorted and didn't answer, she didn't want to eat anything now, she had no appetite, and she didn't have the mind.

Meng Fu was even more sad when he saw this, and he didn't know what to do.

"Mom, you still don't eat it?" Zhang Guiqin walked in, looked at the noodles resting on the table, and said with some distress.

The noodles she specially kneaded with white flour were not mixed with any miscellaneous noodles, and there were two eggs in it.

"Mom, you know what? It is rumored outside that Wu Qingmei is going to build a house in the village, and I hope that I will be able to return the thatched house to you by the end of the year," Zhang Guiqin sat down next to Meng Fu and said in a homely manner, regardless of whether Mrs. Meng was silent or not.

Meng Fu was a little curious, "Build a house?" Where did she get the money? And the land, when the family was divided, the land was given to them? ”

Zhang Guiqin glanced at him, "It's not that people have a good daughter, this provincial English competition won the first place, and it was published in the newspaper, I heard that there is a full half page of reports." ”

In the past few days, there has been talk of Meng Youyou everywhere in the village, even if Zhang Guiqin has the intention to ignore it, but from time to time there are voices that get into her ears.

She is actually okay, the most important thing is Mrs. Meng, these days the village people have been teased by the people in the village I don't know how many times, everyone laughed at her for losing two granddaughters in vain, otherwise the newspaper would not have written about Meng Youyou's parents' divorce.

However, she didn't dare to let Mrs. Meng know about this, after all, this was stepping on Meng Xiaoping's face and lifting Meng Youyou, Zhang Guiqin was naturally uncomfortable.

"What does winning the first place in the competition have to do with building a house?" Meng Fu still didn't understand and asked.

"You think, it's all in the newspaper, the province specially came to interview, and I saw that the house where Meng Youyou lived was not allowed to be reported, so the commune naturally approved money and land to build a house for her."

Zhang Guiqin thought very clearly, and her words were a little rushed, but no matter how jealous she was, it was useless, now Meng Youyou has nothing to do with her, and her daughter is not angry, what can she do?

Meng Fu knew about it, and couldn't help but complain, "Why do you want to use our money to build a house for them?" ”

If you want to say how much he hates Wu Qingmei and Meng Youyou, that's not true, but now that he knows that they are going to build a new house, and he still lives in the old house many years ago, it is inevitable that his heart is a little unbalanced.

"Then you go to the leader," Zhang Guiqin replied to him angrily, and looked at Mrs. Meng again, "Mom, if you don't get up again, when Meng Gui comes back, I will definitely feel distressed to see you like this." ”

She had persuaded her before, but Mrs. Meng didn't listen to it, and now she said it again just to let her listen to the next sentence.

"When Meng Youyou came back, she didn't know and just thought that you were angry because of her, do you think she would laugh secretly?"

Undoubtedly, Zhang Guiqin knew Mrs. Meng, so when she finished saying this, she obviously saw that the expression on Mrs. Meng's face became angry, and she was about to get up with her arms, so she hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"I'm going to be mad because of her?" Mrs. Meng snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "If she wants to build a house, let her build it, and we will build it next year." ”

"Why wait until next year? Let's just do it this year," Meng Fu hurriedly answered, "Mom, look at our house, it's already so old, how good it would be to build a new house to live in." ”

He had thought about it a long time ago, and mentioned it to Mrs. Meng more than once, but every time he didn't wait for him to finish speaking, Mrs. Meng vetoed it on the grounds that he didn't have so much money.

In fact, Meng Fu didn't know how much money he had in the family, he only heard Mrs. Meng say that he had no money, thinking that it was really no money, and finally now Mrs. Meng was relieved, so she naturally hurriedly followed suit.

Mrs. Meng hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Gai, let's build it with them, and cover the backyard together." ”

The house is now five rooms, even if Wu Qingmei and the others left, they still did not change the purpose of the house, it was only just enough for the family to live.

As for the previous idea of waiting for Meng Xiaorong to get married before building a new house, Mrs. Meng is not willing to wait now, her son who has always been the most filial, can still leave her old mother and run away with other women, can she really count on her grandson?

She is already so old, and she can live in a new house for a few more years if she builds a new house early, otherwise she will turn around and leave, the house will not be lived, and the money will not be used up, so how aggrieved.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Meng only felt that her whole body was full of energy again, and pointed to the rice bowl on the table and said, "Bring me noodles, I want to eat." ”

Not only to build a new house, but also to eat and drink well, Mrs. Meng has already figured it out, from today onwards, she will never do any work that can be done without hands, and she will also start to enjoy Qingfu.

Zhang Guiqin watched Meng Fu get up and bring the noodles over, and Mrs. Meng's gobbling up made her roll her eyes secretly, and she knew that Mrs. Meng's temperament would not last a few days.

After all, how can someone who regards himself as such an important person be willing to keep tossing himself like this?

Meng Xiaoping stood outside the door and heard that she was going to build a house, and she couldn't help but be happy, she was naturally happy to live in a new house.

It's just that when I think of Meng Youyou being out of the limelight in the past few days, my heart is panicked, and I don't know why, others always like to compare her with Meng Youyou, and while praising Meng Youyou, they always habitually belittle her.

Meng Xiaoping was irritable in her heart, and she didn't dare to show it in front of Mrs. Meng, so she could only hold it in her heart by herself, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

Thinking of Jiang Chuan also going to high school in the county seat, and having a school with Meng Youyou, Meng Xiaoping was even more sad, and the building near the water took the lead, wouldn't Meng Youyou have more opportunities?

But she didn't have any good ideas, so she could only do it in a hurry.

"Mom, how is Hu Tingting doing?" Meng Xiaoping saw Zhang Guiqin coming out of the house and asked in a low voice.

Zhang Guiqin suddenly heard this name and was in a trance, in the past, Mrs. Meng used to talk in front of her every day, and Hu Tingting often came here to hang around, but now I feel that I haven't seen her for a long time.

"How do I know?" Zhang Guiqin didn't pay attention to it, so naturally he didn't know.

Meng Xiaoping thought about it, her mother stayed at home all day long, and she hadn't even been out of the village, so how would she know about Hu Tingting.

So he said, "Mom, you give me two yuan, I want to go to the county seat tomorrow." ”

Staying in the village all day, Meng Xiaoping didn't have anything to do, only when she was scolded too much by Mrs. Meng, she followed Zhang Guiqin to the fields to hang around, as for earning work, it was something that had never happened before.

"What are you doing in the county seat?" Zhang Guiqin was reluctant to pay for it, so she said angrily, "You have to go by yourself, I don't have any money for you." ”

After speaking, she didn't care what her reaction was, she just went back to the room, and after working for a long time, Zhang Guiqin just wanted to rest.
