Chapter Twenty-Seven: Trying to Repair the House
The atmosphere in the room was a bit heavy, and no one spoke. Wang Defa's woman was also stunned, choked by Wang Defa's sudden words to repair the house. Everyone seemed to be thinking carefully about a difficult problem, and no one wanted to say the first sentence first, without even making eye contact with each other, and their movements were all in unison, and their eyes were fixed on where they wanted to star, motionless.
The atmosphere is a bit solemn. Wang Defa was just released, what he can do in the future, whether he can make money is unknown, at this time he proposed to raise money to renovate the house, it is not a joke, God knows if the money can be recovered after borrowing, this is the reason why everyone suddenly stopped abruptly.
Wang Defa was the first woman to speak, wanting to resolve the embarrassment caused by Wang Defa. "Old man, what do you think, I didn't say that this house can't be lived, what are you doing to repair the house? It's not that you can't live in people, you have this idea, I'm very pleased, and when it's a little better in the future, we'll repair it, and repair the house slowly in advance, right? ”
"I think my sister-in-law is right."
"Yes, yes."
As soon as the woman's words came out, everyone began to speak in agreement. Wang Defa sat on the bench, looking down at the soles of his feet, also thinking. He didn't know what he was thinking, Wang Defa wanted to repair the house was a little abrupt, from entering the north of the town during the day, all the way home, there was no more dilapidated house than his house on the way, he thought in his heart, even if there was no income in the family in the past five years, he also had the confidence to do this, and his confidence came from the private money he hid. It costs a lot of money to sell cultural relics, fines for overbirth, and loss of money to Lao Wanjia, but this is not enough to make an accountant who has been working for more than 20 years penniless. He has money, but it is definitely not enough to repair the house, so he can borrow as much as he wants.
"Yes, this house, I have to repair it, as soon as I come, I think it's time to change the environment for women and dolls, the old lady is still there, let live in a new house to support the elderly, I am also down-to-earth, you look at my father, I fell down the steps, and the person left; Second, my woman has indeed suffered too much and tired for this family in the past five years, and the children have also suffered, money, if you have enough money, borrow some, if not, I will find a way, if you want to break ground, you can come to help, help me save labor costs, it's okay, borrow some money if you have money, make some efforts, help me give this heart, what do you think? ”
"Okay, I'll go back and sum up the spare money at home, and there should be no problem with a thousand dollars." Wang De's voice settled, and finally someone was the first to speak.
Someone took the lead, and others also expressed their positions one after another, and they didn't say anything to death, they all went back and summed up and then gave a quasi-word.
Even if this is the case, then they began to greet each other, chatting for about half an hour, some people were ready to get up to say goodbye, and everyone else was about to leave together, Wang Defa and his woman kept everyone to sit for a while, and it was indeed too late enough. After sending the people away one by one, Wang Defa and the woman entered the house without saying anything.
Wang Chenglong was going to school the next day, and he was already on the kang early, lying down to read her new book today, and his eyelids were already fighting; Wang Laidi leaned next to him and kept asking his sister to tell her. Wang Guisheng was already asleep.
After cleaning up the water cups and melon seed skins on the table, Wang Defa began to spread the kang. Wang Defa went to see the old mother, who was already asleep, and then he also went to the kang to get ready to sleep.
Finally able to lie on his own kang and sleep comfortably, although Wang Defa felt very tired, he was a little excited. Seeing that the three dolls had already begun to snore softly, Wang Defa thought about chatting with the woman for a while. In fact, the woman didn't fall asleep at this time, until now she doesn't know what she wants Wang Defa to do, she doesn't even have the dignity and happiness of a woman in the past five years, except for the children is home, except for the home is those acres of land. She is both doing the work of a man and being a good woman.
"Can we not repair this house first? There's no need, doll and me, your mother doesn't dislike it. The woman spoke first, and the two began to talk.
"I think it should be repaired, now take advantage of the labor, cement, bricks are not very expensive, than the future repair to save a lot, I know you are worried about the problem of money, I have a little money, but it may not be enough, there is not much missing, just don't tell you, you can borrow something, it's basically the same."
"Where did you get the money? The money was given to Lao Wanjia and you paid the fine for digging the grave. ”
"That's a lot of money, but it's not that I don't have any money now, and when I was an accountant, I still got some of it. You can rest assured of this. You have to agree, the construction can start in April, and it can be repaired in June or July at the latest. ”
"It's not that I don't support you, but I think you just came back, and you don't have anything to do in the future, the child wants it late, and now it's still young, it's still three, and you and I are not young anymore. If you listen to me, then don't move the idea of repairing the house first, this is a small matter, and it is a big thing that you can not decouple from the current outside society! ”
In Wang Defa's eyes, his woman is indeed a woman who understands righteousness, Wang Chenglong studied well, and it is estimated that he followed her mother. This woman is capable, not dragging her feet, and has ideas, she can send some useful advice to Wang De, although she only studied until she graduated from elementary school, but compared to the women in the team who can't even write their names, it is simply a world of difference. Looking back at the time when he used to be an accountant, this woman really gave him advice.
"I knew you would say that, and what you said was not unreasonable, but think about it, I just came out now, and I don't know a little bit in the past five years, and it takes a process to adapt, I can't just wander around every day, right? I don't have that face to turn around, so it's better to fix the house at home first, slowly get acquainted with it, and then plan what to do next, killing two birds with one stone. The house is being repaired, and I'm staring at what I can do in the future. ”
"It's almost half of your life, the decision you make, when is there room for negotiation, if you insist on repairing, I won't stop you, anyway, I don't have any money, you are borrowing, robbing, you can do it yourself."
"Don't worry about it, it's late, go to bed quickly." Wang Defa knew that the woman would definitely agree, but she just needed to say her complaints and concerns, for so many years, it was really just like what she said, and it was Wang Defa who made the final decision.
On a big kang, three dolls occupy half, the three of them are covered with two quilts, and the other half of the kang is crowded with Wang Defa and his woman, originally they were one person to cover a quilt, who knew that when Wang Defa turned off the light bulb, the woman kicked off her quilt and got into Wang Defa's quilt.
The next day, before dawn, Wang Defa woke up, the time he woke up, in the past five years, it was just the time to do morning exercises, five years of habits, so that it is impossible for him to want to sleep lazy. Then Wang Chenglong and her mother also woke up, Wang Chenglong was in a hurry to go to school, and suddenly there was an extra father at home, she still had resistance and anger, and wanted to go to school early, but it was quiet out of sight.
After cleaning up, Wang Chenglong stuffed half a bun into his schoolbag, took an apple and hurried to school. At this time, it is estimated that it will be difficult to accept this father. Wang Defa looked at her small body running away, and didn't know how to reconcile, I hope that time is a good medicine, and it can heal the misunderstanding and estrangement between father and daughter.
When the sky was almost bright, Wang Laidi and Wang Guisheng also woke up. Wang Laidi can put on his own clothes, so Wang Defa doesn't care much, but Wang Guisheng can't wear clothes at all. Seeing his son's clumsy movements, Wang Defa was happy in his heart, and he put on his clothes as soon as he held them in his arms. Guisheng wants to say small, it is indeed still young, if you want to say not small, they are almost four years old, but the problem is that they are not very flexible to speak until now, a sentence babbling and thinking for a long time, talking for a long time, the people who listen still can't understand what is said, he is not afraid of life, he has not seen Wang Defa for five years, Wang Defa hugged him and teased him, he was not afraid, silly and cute.
Wang Defa made himself a cup of tea, and ate two bites of steamed buns as if it were morning meals. He wanted to go out for a walk, but he hadn't completely convinced himself in his heart, and he didn't know how to greet the people in the team during the day.
"If you have nothing to do, go out and walk around, today I will come to see the baby, you will delay for another day, starting tomorrow, you will watch the doll and the old lady at home, and I will go to the field to do the work that can be done."
Wang Defa felt much more comfortable when he heard this, what do you do so much, no matter how ugly the daughter-in-law is, she still has to see her in-laws, she has no face to go out today, will she have a face tomorrow? Sooner or later, you have to face it, and sooner or later, it's better to face it early.
"Okay, I'll go out for a walk in a while, I don't have much to eat at lunch, so don't do too much."
"You go, Jackie Chan gets out of school at twelve o'clock, you come back at half past twelve, it's almost time to eat, the doll is studying, the time can't be late."
"Got it, I'm spinning and I'm back early." After that, Wang Defa put on his coat and went out.
He wanted to go to Lao Wanjia, although he had already gone to the back mountain to see Lao Wan last night, and it was reasonable to go to his house again. You can't go to someone's house empty-handed, Wang Defa touched his pocket, didn't have a penny, turned his head and returned home.
"Is there anything that other people bring to their relatives at home, if there is, find me one, and I'll go to Lao Wanjia." Wang De asked the woman.
"Wait a minute, I'll go to the grain room and have a look." The woman went into the grain room and looked at it, there was nothing, the snacks and canned food brought by relatives and others during the New Year, and the three dolls were gluttonous, all of which had been opened and eaten. She looked and saw eggs half-buried in the wheat, and a dozen more. She lifted the corner of her clothes with her left hand, took out the eggs one by one with her right hand, walked to Wang Defa in the placket of her clothes and said: "The courtesy of the relatives has eaten all the three dolls, and there are more than a dozen eggs, I will pack them for you, you can take them." ”
"Okay, then you find a bag, I'll take it and take a look."
Lao Wanjia is actually not far from Wang Defa's house, and if you are walking, you can get there in ten minutes at the slatest. Wang Defa stiffened his head and went out again and walked towards Lao Wanjia.
