Chapter 43: Repairing the House (1)
Liu Yuanyuan, who drank the sugar water, felt warm in her heart.
Although Mrs. Tao said that she was kind and kind, when she heard that the educated youths had to borrow bowls and pots in addition to mending pots.
There is an old saying in the village: the rice bowl is rewarded by God.
Since it is God's reward, it will not be easily lent to others, and there are a number of bowls and pots at home.
Liu Yuanyuan knew that Mrs. Tao was embarrassed, and she proposed that she could help the Tao family, and could she change some of the bowls and basins that the Tao family didn't want.
Don't want a bowl?
Zhu Xia remembered that there were a batch of worn-out bowls and basins thrown in the cellar at home, which had been used up and eliminated a few years ago.
People in the village have superstitions that they can't throw away old bowls and pots, otherwise they will lose their jobs, so she received them in the cellar at that time.
So Zhu Xia leaned over in Mrs. Tao's ear and whispered a few words.
"I don't have a few bowls at home, but you'll have to come and help us with two days."
Hearing Mrs. Tao's words, the eyes of several female intellectuals lit up.
Finally, someone was willing to lend them a bowl, not to mention a few days of work, but a month.
So, several female intellectuals hurriedly agreed.
But they all forgot that they came from the city when they were children, let alone work, and it might be difficult to wash clothes in the river.
Only Liu Yuanyuan was not carried away by joy.
"Aunt Tao, what do we need to help you do?"
It turned out that the old Tao family had already contacted the workers who were building the house and were ready to start work tomorrow, and there was still a shortage of a few miscellaneous people.
Mrs. Tao also knows that this female intellectuals are unreliable, but some are better than nothing.
Liu Yuanyuan doesn't know how to do chores, since Aunt Tao said it, she will definitely come.
Of course, Zhang Qing has no opinion, it is normal to take people's things and pay labor, but it is not certain whether she will do it.
The two female intellectuals with Zhang Qing have no opinion, and the rest is Cai Xiaofen.
Cai Xiaofen was also upset because she was being ignored, so this time, she directly disagreed.
But Cai Xiaofen's disagreement is useless.
Zhang Qing glanced at Cai Xiaofen, "If you don't agree, that's okay, we'll take the bowl back and use it, and we won't give you the food." ”
"If you don't divide it, you don't divide it." Cai Xiaofen raised her head and turned around and left, she was not surprised by the broken grain, she went to the village to borrow it herself, envying them to death.
Zhang Qingcai is too lazy to care about her, if she likes to go or not, it is good not to divide the food, they can still share more.
A few people took the mended pots and borrowed pots and returned to the Zhiqing point.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the educated youth point, he collided head-on with Zhang Bai and several male educated youths.
Several people worked together to move pots and pans and food into a small house at the entrance of Zhiqing Point, which was temporarily used as a simple stove room.
After the things were put away, Zhang Bai took a few male intellectuals to the village to find someone to learn how to build a stove, and Liu Yuanyuan and Zhang Qing also went to learn how to make a fire.
In the evening, a few young men came back tired and out of breath.
When I came back, there was a lonely person sitting in front of the educated youth store. It was Cai Xiaofen who was planning to fly solo.
Cai Xiaofen remembered that she was unlucky this afternoon.
She thought that she had a sweet mouth, and it would be okay to borrow some food or something.
Unexpectedly, after coming out of Mrs. Tao's house, she knocked on the doors of many people, and as soon as she heard that she was a new educated youth, the door slammed shut.
There is also the kind of one that finally let her go in and sit, and she didn't give water, especially when she heard that she was borrowing food, so she was directly pushed out with a bang.
In the end, a family was willing to lend her food, and then even asked to marry into their family as a daughter-in-law.
Although Cai Xiaofen said that in this group of educated youth, the family conditions are not excellent, but she was born in a petty bourgeois family, not to mention finding a college student, at least she has to find a cadre or something, how can she look at this kind of mud leg in the village.
Cai Xiaofen, who was angry, pointed at the family and scolded, and of course the final ending was also kicked out.
Cai Xiaofen, who had no gain, could only hang her head and return to the Zhiqing point.
"Sister Xiaofen, are you tired?"
Liu Yuanyuan saw Cai Xiaofen and hurriedly greeted her.
Cai Xiaofen wanted to wonder if Liu Yuanyuan was doing something this afternoon, but when she saw Liu Yuanyuan running before and after, she felt that she was thinking too much, and Liu Yuanyuan was still the wronged boss.
She thought about it, and when she coaxed Liu Yuanyuan again, maybe she could continue to get the pair of crystal hairpins back.
Early the next morning, the Tao family got up early in the morning.
The workers who have been contacted this morning are coming to work.
Tao Dayong and his brothers got up and took a few casual bites, pushed the family's small cart and went outside the city to pull mud.
After the primary school students at home went to school, only Tao Zhijie was left with Tao Zhilang and Tao Tao.
Watching the adults in the family go in and out, the three children were not idle and began to help with the work.
After the workers brought in all the bricks and everything, the workers were ready to get to work.
The Tao family had an uninvited guest.
Zhu Xia's second sister-in-law, Zhu's second sister-in-law came with her brother Chen Xiaojun.
Zhu's second sister-in-law overheard her father-in-law whispering to her uncle and husband early in the morning that the Tao family was going to start repairing the house today.
Zhu's second sister-in-law ran to her parents' house with her shoes on.
Since the last time Zhu's second sister-in-law returned from the Tao family, although her father-in-law and husband have not mentioned what happened to the Tao family.
But Zhu's second sister-in-law obviously felt that they seemed to know.
Because the three of them, father and son, didn't know what they were quietly planning.
No, this time let Zhu's second sister-in-law listen to it rightly.
Back at her parents' house, Zhu's second sister-in-law took her brother Chen Xiaojun and ran away.
Chen Xiaojun ate fat head and big ears, and he couldn't breathe after running a few steps.
The one-hour journey dragged on for two hours.
Chen Xiaojun sat at the gate of Tao's house, panting heavily, "Sister, why are you running so fast?" ”
"If you don't run faster, how can you make money, you foodie, look at you."
Second sister-in-law Zhu tapped Chen Xiaojun's forehead several times with her fingers, this thing that hates iron does not become steel, and he doesn't know who he is when he earns some money.
"Cut, sister, if you don't look for me to repair houses in a few villages within a few circles, who else can you find."
Zhu Er's sister-in-law angrily kicked Chen Xiaojun's ass several times, "You coward, the Tao family will start work today, think about it, do you know, it should be the first two years, how many people are working alone now." ”
After finishing speaking, Zhu's second sister-in-law pulled Chen Xiaojun and broke in without even knocking on the door.
"Oh, Xiazi, auntie, why don't you tell us about your work today, it's not an outside."
As soon as Mrs. Tao saw that Zhu's second sister-in-law came with her terrible brother, Mrs. Tao's brain hurt.
"What do you say, it's just to do a little job."
Mrs. Tao has lived for so long, if she still doesn't know why Zhu's second sister-in-law brought Chen Xiaojun here, then she will be dizzy.
"You should also look for me to do some small work, Aunt Tao, you forgot, I have done the work of repairing houses in several villages over the years, I see that we are relatives, I will give you a discount."
