Chapter 061: Chen Jiu also came to help build the house
Seeing her come back alone, Chen Jiu didn't say anything, only snorted heavily.
On the third day that Chen Jiu sent his daughter-in-law to go, he sent two more sons, but Aunt Chen Jiu still did not return.
Chen Jiu simply ignored Chen Jiu, and asked his daughter to go and deliver the message, telling Aunt Chen Jiu to live as long as she liked.
Live until you are old, live until you die, as she pleases.
Aunt Chen Jiu was so angry that she gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, "Okay, the old lady won't go back!" A few of you have been with that Chang's little goblin, hum! ”
。
Aunt Chen Jiu never went home, and the affairs of Chen Jiu's family became chaotic.
From time to time, Chang came to help, such as sweeping the floor, collecting clothes, or delivering herbal tea.
Mu Jinyan twice a day, morning and evening, helped Chen Jiu see his leg injury on time.
Half a month later, Chen Jiu's leg injury was basically cured.
And Aunt Chen Jiu has not come back from her parents' house.
。
Thinking of the help of the Mu family during this time, Chen Jiu couldn't help it, he found Mu Jinyan and said that he would help build a house.
Mu Jinyan was surprised, "However, our family's house has been contracted to the Qin family's father and son. ”
Su Qingqing also said, "We don't count it by the day, we cover it as a whole, you don't have to help." ”
But Chen Jiu insisted, "There are a lot of things in this new house, the Qin family father and son are masons, they will only build walls and build houses, those doors and windows, tables, chairs and stools in the house, they don't, this has to be done by another person, I learned carpenter in my early years, if you don't dislike my craft, I will help your family, you can rest assured, this work is exempt, you first came to the village, and brought so many babies, it is not easy." ”
Su Qingqing said again and again, "Then how can it be done?" This is a big project, how can you let you do things in vain? ”
Chen Jiuyi pointed to his leg, "Your Mu Langjun helped me look at my half-moon leg, and I came to change the dressing on time twice a day, but I didn't have a penny." ”
Su Qingqing smiled, "But we agreed before, and our room fee was waived." ”
"That's just a few bucks? Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning. ”
Chen Jiu insisted on helping Su Qingqing and Mu Jinyan.
Su Qingqing couldn't push it, so he had to agree.
Chen Jiu did what he said.
That afternoon, Chen Jiu took his two sons, took tools, and came to the Mu family's homestead.
The father and son of the Qin family have been busy for half a month, and after digging the foundation, they have already built the house to knee height.
Chen Jiu walked over with a measuring ruler, praising the ability of the Qin family's father and son.
Qin Bricklayer smiled, "Chen Jiu, don't boast, your carpenter skills are not bad." Saying that, Qin Bricklayer shook his head again, "I said Chen Jiu, how can you put aside your good craftsmanship?" Farming alone? In these days, how can you live just by farming? ”
Chen Jiu only smiled and didn't say anything.
Chen Jiu's eldest son glanced at his father, and his face turned cold.
It's not that his father doesn't want to do carpentry work, it's really ......
Chen Dalang was irritable, shook his head, and walked over to carry the wood.
With the help of Chen Jiu's family, Mu Jinyan's family's house was completed according to the expected time.
The wall and ditch digging were done by the father and son of the Qin family, and the carpentry was done by the Chen Jiu family.
Su Qingqing found that Chen Jiu's carpentry skills were no worse than the machine cutting skills of the modern world, each board was planed to the same flat and smooth, and some patterns implying auspiciousness were carved on the window lattices.
This kind of craftsmanship cannot be done without a meticulous heart and ten years of hard work.
In order to prevent the doors and windows from drying out in the wind and rain, Chen Jiu also painted varnish.
At first, Chen Jiu said that he wanted to paint red, but Su Qingqing said that the primary color would be good.
First, she thinks that the original and simple color makes people feel calm.
The second is that her house of three brick houses and two wooden houses is already very eye-catching, and then painted with red paint, it looks like a big family, which is not eye-catching, but eye-catching.
When you first arrive, it is very gorgeous, and it will inevitably not attract attention.
It's better to be ordinary.
After the house was built, Su Qingqing paid the remaining eight taels of silver according to the previous agreement with the Qin family.
In the carpentry section, Su Qingqing originally planned to do it quietly with the space machinery herself, but she was worried about arousing the suspicion of the villagers, so Chen Jiu came to help, so she had less to worry about.
Chen Jiu's family also helped for a month.
Although Chen Jiu was voluntary, he also said that it was because Mu Jinyan healed his leg injury, and he only helped out of gratitude, and asked Su Qingqing's family not to take it too seriously.
But Su Qingqing knew that the simple people in the village all talked like this, and they didn't say that they would take it to heart when they helped, but how could they really not write it down?
The village is poor, delaying farm work to help, this is a great favor, Su Qingqing insisted on giving Chen Jiu's helper fee.
Chen Jiu insisted not to.
Su Qingqing also said that if Chen Jiu's family did not collect money, the people in the village would say that her family did not know the general situation and would not come to help in the future.
Those who know the inside story say that Mu Jinyan has cured Chen Jiu's injured leg, but those who don't know the inside story think that Su Qingqing and Mu Jinyan are greedy and cheap.
They will not be able to make friends and will not be able to help them in the future.
Chen Jiu saw that Su Qingqing was sincere, so he had no choice but to accept it.
On the day the Mu family moved, Chen Jiu took his children and daughters-in-law to help them.
In fact, there are not many things in the Mu family, just one tent is the largest, and the other odds and ends, the children take a few things and finish them, but Chen Jiu still pulled out his own big cart and loaded all their belongings.
"If you don't need a board car, why do you have to move it hard? You might as well save some effort to tidy up the house. Chen Jiu said with a smile.
Chang, a neighbor, also joined the team to help.
There was nothing for her to move, so she took two brooms and followed everyone, "I'll clean and clean for you, there are more or less magazines in this freshly built house, clean it, you just live there." ”
With such enthusiasm, and walking on the road again, Su Qingqing couldn't catch up with people, so he had to follow her.
After walking a bowl of tea, everyone arrived at the Mu family's new house.
The children come to see the progress of the new house every day, and they are no longer excited.
