Chapter 14: No one came
picked an auspicious day, and the old Liu family's house began to be built.
The materials were all obtained from the mountains, a lot of old trees were cut down, and a bunch of stones and yellow mud were made, and I planned to build a large house with a front and back yard.
There are five rooms in the front yard with a kitchen and living room, and there are also five rooms in the back yard with two utility rooms.
To build so many houses, the materials still need to be a lot, the main thing to do is the yellow mud tile house, the main body of the house is used yellow mud, and the roof of the house is tiled, warm in winter and cool in summer.
"Boss, are you going to invite fewer people? Why did there only come five people on the first day of work today? ”
"There are so few people, when do you have to rely on your group alone?"
"Didn't I tell you to go door-to-door and call more people?" Meng Ran wondered.
She really didn't want to live in this dilapidated house, and on the night of the heavy rain, it was raining in bed, and it was dripping, it was raining heavily outside, and it was raining lightly inside, and she didn't have to sleep all night.
In broad daylight, staying in the house is also panicked, not breathable, I haven't taken a nap at noon, lying in bed tossing and turning and can't sleep.
It's hard to sleep at night, and her biggest thought now is: hurry up and make a new house, and have a big room! There is lighting! It's windy!
Whoever prevents her from living in a new house will not be able to get along with her.
So Meng Ran's eyes were slightly fierce, waiting for Boss Liu's answer, once he couldn't tell why, she was going to spray!
Boss Liu, a big man, was still a little afraid of his mother, so he could only say aggrievedly: "Mother, every family of mine with strong labor has been notified in place, and they have all agreed." ”
Seeing that his mother still had a bad face, Boss Liu added: "I'll go and ask them again!" Don't come to work yet! ”
After saying that, he put down the work in his hand and went to ask for someone again.
"Stop!" Meng Ran hurriedly shouted.
"It stands to reason that the salary given by our family is 3 yuan a day, which is also a normal level, not to mention that our family is not without food, so they don't like to come."
"It's a big deal, you ask your respective daughters-in-law to go back to their parents' homes to find relatives to come and work, and it's the same salary, so it should be treated as fertilizer and water that doesn't flow into outsiders' fields."
"I'm done with my work today, and I'll go and hire someone tomorrow!"
Looking at the boss's nasty appearance, it is estimated that he was tricked by the people in the village, and he promised to come over to help, but in fact he didn't come, he agreed to come if he could, and he didn't want to come to join in the fun, isn't this a trick?
Meng Ran's face was not very good, and he thought, he is still a person in a village, he can't look up and see him when he looks down, why do he want to do this?
If they don't come, that's just right, so she doesn't take advantage of those people.
In the morning, there were only about a dozen people working, and Meng Ran's original intention was to work together with thirty or forty people, dry the yellow mud that made the soil embryo of the house as soon as possible, and speed up the progress of building the house.
I hope that the house should be completed in ten days and half a month, and in the wind for a few days, I can add some furniture as soon as possible, as well as bedding to go in, and live directly in a brand new house.
I can only sigh, I hope I can find more people tomorrow!
The four daughters-in-law went over to help together, and the country women were informal, they all worked together with the strong laborers, anyway, they wore long sleeves and trousers, and they were tightly wrapped, and there was nothing.
At most, it's just sweating all the time!
"Big girl and second girl, have you washed the dishes?"
At noon, the main force in the kitchen was Meng Ran and his two granddaughters cooking, and it was more than enough for two girls to help wash the vegetables and burn the fire.
The big girl replied loudly: "Grandma, the sweet potato seedlings are all cleaned!" ”
Erya also followed up and replied: "Grandma, cucumbers, and tomatoes are also cleaned!" ”
"Then don't you take it into the kitchen! Hurry up and bring me the food! ”
There are two large cauldrons in the kitchen, one pot is used to cook rice, the other is used to cook vegetables, and there are some bottles and jars, mud stewpots of different sizes, which are used to stew soup and stew.
Considering the number of people who eat at noon today, make four dishes at noon, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, fried pork slices with cucumbers, cucumbers, sweet potato leaves poured with garlic, and gruel with yam as the staple.
Meng Ran alone can still handle the big pot dishes of ten or twenty people, and there are many eggs at home recently, so he directly knocks ten eggs, and there is little pork, so he can only cut the meat into thin slices.
I made a big pot of cucumbers, added a lot of peppers, and vinegar, sour and spicy, and the cucumbers were crispy.
There are quite a lot of sweet potato leaves, and after the garlic is fragrant, a large pot is fried, and the gruel is also boiled relatively thick.
After making lunch in the kitchen, Meng Ran was almost drenched in sweat, and he couldn't wait to take a shower.
She hurriedly brought the prepared meal to the large table under the tree in the courtyard.
Then he went to the field of the house and shouted at the people who were working: "This is the end of the morning's work!" It's time to take a break! Let's all come and eat! ”
"Big girl and second girl, you take your sister and brother to eat in the back room for a small portion, and take your sister and brothers to rest after eating."
After Meng Ran took a shower, he had a leisurely lunch, and then lay down for a while after eating, working hard and working was not good at all.
This way.
It took a while for a group of people to build a house before they came together to wash their hands and face and start eating.
The table was full of dishes that made people hungry when they looked at it, golden scrambled eggs, big fatty slices, oily sweet potato leaves, and pickled cucumbers.
A few migrant workers who came to help saw the first meal of the work, and couldn't help but look at the four brothers of the old Liu family.
Liu Tie gave a thumbs up to Boss Liu and said, "Atmosphere! Auntie is so nice! ”
Liu Jiaji's eyes widened, "Oh my God! What did I see! So much meat! ”
Liu Dayang praised: "The dishes made by my aunt are delicious to look at!" I'm already hungry when I work, and when I see this dish, I'm even hungrier! ”
Boss Liu greeted everyone directly, "You're welcome, after a morning of work, everyone must be hungry, there is not much nonsense, just start eating!" ”
A group of men directly hugged the big bowl, each of them sandwiched a piece of big fat meat, and ate lunch deliciously.
Mr. Liu's daughter-in-law took a few younger daughters-in-law to eat directly in the house, and her mother-in-law left food for them alone, so they didn't have to squeeze with the men.
After eating, they didn't have to clean up the mess, they went back to their rooms to lie down, rested, and went to work in the afternoon.
Who called this to work for their own family, rushing to the new house, they gritted their teeth and endured it, and after working hard for a while, they could live in a big house, and they didn't have to squeeze anymore, and they were happy when they thought about it.
After eating, the dishes and chopsticks, the work of washing and brushing is directly given to the father-in-law, anyway, the rules set by the mother-in-law, the daughter-in-law stir-frying, and the son will wash the dishes, and the division of labor is clear.
Liu Lao's eldest brother is four, I didn't expect my mother to be so powerful, forget about the rice, and actually give two meat dishes, and fry so much meat, it's really a long face.
It's really good not to deduct and search, and those who don't come to work are at a loss.
"Brother Tietou, thank you for coming to help, next time your family starts a house, our brothers promise not to say a word, we will definitely go to your house to help!"
Then he said with ridicule: "Some people, if they don't want to help, I don't bother to say hello anymore......"
