Chapter 58 Wang Xiaohua repairs the grave
But when the matter of moving the grave was really decided, Aunt Liu hesitated.
She looked at Daddy Liu, "The public cemetery in this county town, such a good place with feng shui, must have a lot of money to buy it, right?" ”
A clever worker came up, he still thought that he would get the money after today's work, and he didn't want this business to be ruined, so he immediately followed Aunt Liu and said: "Yes, I heard that it is calculated by the square, and one square meter is not cheap, and it can be worth thousands of yuan." ”
Aunt Liu frowned, and looked at the workers again, "Then you reinforce the grave bag, that is, build bricks and plaster cement, how much do you have to do it today?" ”
The worker raised two fingers, "There are three of us, twenty for each person." If you contract labor and materials, 100 will do it all for you. ”
Seeing that Aunt Liu had to make careful calculations for the matter of repairing the grave, Daddy Liu was astringent, so he pulled Aunt Liu aside, "Daughter-in-law, this kind of money can't be saved!" You have to spend it when you should spend it, you don't have to worry about money, okay? ”
Aunt Liu hesitated for a moment, her eyes fell on her mother's grave bag that had been alone here for decades, and she didn't feel good in her heart. My mother has lived a suffocated life all her life, do you have to live this kind of life when she dies?
No way!
Absolutely not!
"Son and father, I have decided, move my mother's grave!" Aunt Liu made up her mind to move her mother's grave.
Several workers also heard this, and their faces did not look very good, obviously when they called over, they were repairing graves, why did they become graves now?
"Boss! Didn't you mean to move the grave when you called us over? We can't do this thing. ”
The workers' shovels were thrust into the ground, quite a bit of a posture of asking the teacher for guilt.
Daddy Liu was afraid of disturbing the tranquility of his mother-in-law, so he hurriedly accompanied the smiling face to greet him, and the one who nodded and gave out a cigarette.
He kept saying good things, "I'm really sorry, brothers, but don't worry, our family will never let the three of you run away." ”
As he spoke, Daddy Liu had already taken out dozens of yuan from his pocket, and one person issued a ten-yuan ticket.
A few workers weighed it, and it was twenty yuan a day for themselves, but now they haven't done anything, and they can collect ten yuan a day after chatting with them for a while, which is really not a loss at all.
Several people took the money, and they all praised Daddy Liu for being a sincere person and knowing how to do things. After saying goodbye to Daddy Liu, they happily left with their shovels.
Here, Aunt Liu has made up her mind to move her mother's grave out of Wang's house. Over there, Wang Xiaohua frowned bitterly because of her mother's grave.
Wang Xiaohua is extremely reluctant to repair her mother's grave, she feels that if people are gone, they will be gone, and she still has to drag the family to live, why do you have to spend money for these vain things.
She looked at her husband, who was lying on the table to change his homework, and wanted to ask him what he thought, after all, the idea of a scholar is to be more advanced.
Her husband's name is Liu Chunwei, a primary school teacher in the village, and his salary is almost negligible, and the family's main income is to rely on the income of a few acres of thin fields.
Therefore, in this family, every penny that flows out is her life.
But Zhang Xiaohua was afraid of being scolded by the villagers and neighbors for being unfilial, so she could only bite the bullet and pick money from between her teeth to repair the grave.
Hearing that his daughter-in-law was going to repair his mother-in-law's grave, Liu Chunwei was extremely reluctant, he put down the pen in his hand that was correcting homework, and his face was indifferent, "Don't look for me for this matter, I don't have any money to pay." ”
Seeing that her husband had this attitude, Wang Xiaohua could only say: "Then I'll fix it myself, you don't have to worry about it." ”
Liu Chunwei just put down the pen he just picked up, he was thinking about money in his heart, since Wang Xiaohua said that he had repaired it, he would definitely not ask himself for money, as for where she got the money to repair the grave, then he couldn't care about it.
Thinking of this, Liu Chunwei shook the pen, and then he felt at ease to correct his homework.
Wang Xiaohua had already made up her mind, she would definitely not be able to come up with more money, so she couldn't hire a professional grave repairer, and now she could only spend some money to invite a few villagers to help plug the hole.
In short, this tomb looks undamaged from the outside, and no one can find fault with it.
A few days later, Wang Xiaohua went to the field to see how her mother's grave was repaired, and when she passed by Aunt Liu's mother's grave, she felt very strange, so she hugged her arms and circled around the grave.
Looking left and right, there is no sign of this tomb being reinforced, at most the grass on the head of the tomb has been pulled clean, and there are some traces of fire and worship on the ground.
A cold snort came out of her mouth, "Yo, how filial piety do I say?" ”
Her sarcastic voice was not small, and it directly attracted the women who were working on other ridges and asked Wang Xiaohua what happened.
When Wang Xiaohua heard someone ask, she suddenly came to her senses, pointed to the grave and scolded, "You all know my sister, right?" It was originally called Wang Baiyue, but now you all call her Aunt Liu! ”
Everyone nodded one after another, the Liu family is too famous in this village, and a year ago, the poor wowotou couldn't eat, but now it's amazing.
"The Liu family now has a factory in the county, but it's amazing."
As soon as she heard someone praise the Liu family, Wang Xiaohua poked the grave with her finger disdainfully, "Yes, people are good at acting, and you are dizzy, a few days ago, she said with great fanfare that she was going to repair the grave of her own mother, you see, pull out a few grasses to repair the grave!" ”
Some people think that Aunt Liu is not such a person, so they have the heart to speak for Aunt Liu, "Maybe the Liu family has not invited the master to repair the grave." ”
Someone on the side snickered and ridiculed Wang Xiaohua, "It's not like you, just invite a few farmers to do the work, the Renliu family is rich now, and you have to pay attention to it!" As for your family, you can only ask the farmer to give two yuan to block the hole in the grave, which is called a general! ”
"Hahaha!"
There was a burst of laughter from the crowd, and the women of the village gathered around the fields, each waiting to see Wang Xiaohua's joke.
Wang Xiaohua's face remained unchanged, and she forcibly explained her behavior, "What do you know? I also didn't invite a professional master, so I asked a few villagers to help. Isn't it going to rain these days? If I don't fix my mother's grave, it'll leak!" ”
"Yes, yes, you're right!" Another burst of laughter struck.
At this time, a voice floated over faintly, "But I was here that day and heard about the Liu family." ”
"What's the matter?" The women came to the spirit.
"Renliu's family didn't plan to build a grave here at all, saying that they were going to move his mother-in-law's grave to the public cemetery in the county! His son-in-law, Lao Liu, is really a good person! ”
