Chapter 18 Relatives Come to Help

It was hard work to make the house, and after a morning of work, I was sweating all over, I washed my face, and then I went to the table to eat.

Today is still full of a large table of dishes, there are meat and vegetarian, as well as soup, everyone is very satisfied with this table of dishes, it is really not a loss, come here to work can eat so good.

I thought it was so good to give them food on the first day yesterday, but I didn't expect it to be the same today.

The country men are all lean and empty, but their bodies are not very strong, because most of them are malnourished, drink thin all day long, and their stomachs can only be mixed with water.

Fortunately, they are all strong laborers in the family, and in order to work better, they can still eat seven points full.

As for women, the old people are thinner and weaker, and the old ones are reluctant to eat and eat less, while the women have to work in the fields and do housework at home, so they only eat fifty or sixty percent.

Each figure is very slender, too thin, and the body wear and tear looks very serious.

Coupled with the fact that the grain production is low and the taxes are heavy, every household is almost accustomed to eating one or two thin meals all day long, and it is over. Therefore, the people I saw in the village were all yellow-skinned and thin-skinned, with vegetables on their faces.

"Thank you, auntie, today's food is still so delicious."

"As long as my aunt takes care of the food, I am definitely willing to work for a few more days!"

Everyone laughed and grinned, anyway, just a few of them came to work, how could they work for a little longer.

Meng Ran waved his hand generously, "You work so hard, eat well, and work well!" ”

"You are also good friends with our Liu family, and you are willing to come to help build the house, unlike some people in the village who avoid suspicion with us, this is not coming, we can't help it, we can't force it with others."

"If you want to come, you can come, if you don't come, forget it, you love this work."

Hearing Aunt Meng's words, everyone instantly changed their opinion of her, thinking that this Aunt Meng would only spill, but I didn't expect this idea to be quite right.

…………

At noon, taking advantage of the rest time, the daughters-in-law of each room went home to call their father and brother, and came over to help build the house.

The people in the village are unreliable, their relatives are still very reliable, and more importantly, the mother-in-law has spoken, the in-laws work, the same treatment, the wages are earned by the people in the village, and the income is also earned by their own families.

It's better to be a cheap outsider than to be cheaper than to be a cheap oneself.

With this mentality, the four daughters-in-law were absent-minded when they were working in the morning, and as soon as they finished eating at noon, they actively went back to their parents' house.

Seeing that the daughters-in-law had gone back to find someone, Meng Ran nodded secretly, hoping that those in-laws would be a little more competitive and could have more people, and the more people who came, the better.

If the flame is high and the strength of the crowd is great, she can live in a new house as soon as possible.

She propped her chin, thinking that the house had her sons watching the progress, and the combination of adobe brick and tile houses in the countryside was a bit magical, but it was more practical, it could shelter from the wind and rain, and it would be warm in winter and cool in summer.

If you want an ancient pavilion and a big mansion, it's not impossible, first set a small goal and buy a small house.

Thinking of the box of gold bars he was hiding, Meng Ran couldn't help laughing, the little goal was not a dream.

"Yu'er is good! Sleep..."

Meng Ran softly coaxed the baby to take a nap with a bamboo fan, and a large basin of ice cubes was placed not far from the wooden bed, which cooled down the steamer house a lot.

In order not to waste ice, she also put two small melons on the ice, which is indispensable for ice fruits in the hot summer.

If you want to eat, you have to put this little ancestor to sleep first.

It's so hard to be energetic when you just order a big baby.

Yu'er kicked her calves, her face was excited, she didn't feel sleepy at all, her little face was white and tender, because her mother's milk was sufficient, so she was white and fat.

He was only wearing a big red cool belly pocket, like a Fuwa under the seat of Guanyin.

"Mother!"

"Can you come out for a while?"

"We're back!"

The daughters-in-law shouted outside the door.

"I heard it, I heard it!"

"Why are you so loud? Don't you want to take a nap at this point? What's the shouting? ”

"What's going on?"

The four hesitated.

Several of them went back to their parents' house and told them about it, and the whole family, from their father, to their younger brothers, and their nephews, were willing to come over, and even the cousins in the next room were willing to come over to help.

So each room called four or five people, because when they went to call people, the mother-in-law didn't say how many people the family wanted to work, so the mother's family was very excited, saying that they must come over to help their in-laws build a house.

They came back to meet each other, secretly confessed, and after spying on the situation, everyone began to feel uneasy, worried that while they promised their mother's family, their mother-in-law didn't understand the situation, would there be many suspects?

Because the fourth daughter-in-law is the best with her mother, the other people in the third room looked at the fourth child quietly, waiting for her to tell her mother.

Wu Taohua saw that the eldest sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law, and the third sister-in-law were reluctant to come out, so they could only be the first bird: "Mother, that's the case, I went back to my parents' house with my sister-in-law and called someone to come over to help. ”

He continued hesitantly: "So, maybe there will be a lot of people, we have called four or five like this, do you think it's okay?" ”

Meng Ran thought something big had happened, this person came a lot, which was exactly what she wanted: "No problem, my in-laws can come to help, it's too late for me to be grateful." ”

"Don't worry, you should pay your in-laws a lot of money, you just put your heart to your stomach, that is, to make lunch in the future, the meal of the bag, you have to come back early to cook, you four do it, don't expect me to do it."

"There are so many people, is cooking tired of my wife?"

Seeing that the mother agreed, the daughters-in-law of several rooms were happy.

They all said with a smile on their faces, "Don't worry, mother, how many of us will make that meal at noon?" ”

"Where are we willing to let our mother suffer? I worked hard a few days ago. ”

"Yes, yes, mother, it's good for you to rest, we'll cook the meal."

"Mother, what should you do, we have a few bags."

In this way, Meng Ran let go and threw out the lunch contract right at once, so that he finally didn't have to work hard to cook at noon, and he could be idle and cultivate a good relationship with his granddaughter.

In addition to walking the baby, it is to eat and drink, and it is time to rest and rest, this day is the life of people.

How do you think about the furniture of your new home once in a while? What style?

Find a carpenter in the countryside to contract to make a few sets of furniture, after all, there is no shortage of silver at home for the time being.

The appearance of the house is ugly, simple, no problem, but the interior of the house is to live by yourself, naturally the belongings should be complete, and the tables and chairs with missing arms and short legs are not needed, and they are redone.

A new home needs to have a new atmosphere.

The next day, sure enough, the four sons' foreign families came, Meng Ran took a look, followed the in-laws with a smile on his face, and the business was over.
