Chapter 180: Envy

"Ling Ling!" Chen Zhongxing threw a ball of vines to her and said, "Plant it in the cool evening." When it's hot, remember to water more. ”

Chen Xinglinghu asked, "What is this?" ”

"Didn't you say you wanted to green the garden?" Chen Zhongxing explained: "The roots of this thing can be used as herbs, and it can bloom for at least 300 days in 365 days a year. The flowers are purple and not too big, but they look good when they are densely packed. Mom asked us to bring it to you, saying that the toilet and the small corridor at the back can be planted, and the storage is cool and beautiful. ”

On the first floor, there is only a living room plus a study and a kitchen, and in the other corner of the living room is a small dining room, opposite the spacious kitchen, and just outside the window is a lush magnolia tree.

Chef Mo said that if the kitchen smoke is too large, it may affect the snow-white wall, so the kitchen is specially designed under the tree, hoping to block and reduce the emission of oil smoke with lush leaves.

The door of the dining room is a hallway, at the end of which is the study, and at the other end is the bathroom on the first floor.

There are two toilets in total, and the style is the same as the garden style of black tiles and white walls, but there is only a small tree nearby, which looks bare, and lacks some charm and privacy.

Therefore, Chen Xingling asked his old father to go up the mountain to help him dig a few small bamboos and plant them next to the bathroom.

"The vines are planted on the perimeter walls and by the wooden doors, and the toilets are better planted with bamboo, so that it will look better. By the way, why hasn't my dad dug me up the bamboo? ”

Chen Daxing laughed and explained: "Dad said that the mountain is too big and difficult to dig, and only the bare bamboo body is left when you carry it down." He went to the old Uncle Liu at the head of the village for help, and planned to buy him a dozen trees more than one person high, and dig them up with their roots, so that they would be able to feed him at that time. ”

"yes!" Chen Zhongxing added: "Bamboo can only be transplanted in the spring. Fortunately, the weather is not so hot now, otherwise it would not have been at all. When the time comes, you have to water every day to keep it moist, or you won't survive. ”

"Uh-oh." Chen Xingling couldn't cry or laugh: "I looked good for a while, and I didn't consider the specific actual situation at all." I'm really embarrassed daddy! ”

"Isn't it?" Chen Zhongxing smiled disgustingly: "My father has been looking for two or three days all over the mountain, and I think the bamboo planted by Uncle Liu a few years ago is the best-looking." In the past two days, half of the leaves and branches have been deliberately removed, and they are planned to be dug up and sent over tomorrow when there is rain. ”

"You still have to remove half of the leaves?" Chen Xingling asked, "Is it so troublesome?" ”

Chen Daxing nodded and explained: "It must be like this, otherwise I am afraid I won't survive." Also, you may have to shade for a few days at first, maintaining adequate humidity and shade. After ten days and a half months, I am not afraid, and bamboo is still relatively easy to feed. ”

"That's good, that's good." Chen Xingling stopped: "You tell Dad, it's enough to have bamboo, and you don't want the grass I said before, it's too troublesome." ”

"The grass is not a problem." Chen Zhongxing wiped his sweat and said: "Mom has already found a piece at the foot of the mountain, and when it is almost done here, I will peel it off and plant it." ”

Chen Xingling was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "There is a section of brick road to build when you enter the door, and some of the remaining broken and unqualified bricks from a while ago will be paved together, one will lead to the door of the living room, one will lead to the study, and then one will go to the bathroom in the rear." ”

"Alright, alright." Chen Daxing laughed and scolded in disgust: "You have a lot of ideas!" It's complicated! ”

Chen Xingling raised his chin proudly: "For the sake of good looks!" ”

"That's true." Chen Zhongxing looked around and nodded in agreement: "I'm afraid I can't find a second house in this Chongqing city that is so beautiful and ancient." It's just that the place is a little smaller, otherwise it looks like a garden in a picture. ”

"No way." Chen Xingling did not shy away from laughing and said: "Who made me poor!" It's best to live in a big garden, but the strength doesn't allow it! ”

"Go, go!" Chen Zhongxing doted and scolded: "You are the only one who can live, and you are embarrassed to say that you are poor!" Less bragging! ”

They all know that the land was bought with the help of the fourth brother, but the money to build the house was earned by the younger sister herself by selling fried noodles.

Everyone in the family is happy for her, not only has good grades in school, but she was admitted to Yucheng University in one fell swoop, and she can also make money to build a house.

The brother-in-law has strong ability and makes a lot of money, but the brother-in-law is a brother-in-law after all, and his sister can be independent and self-reliant, which is more worthy of their family's pride and more assured.

Zhao Xiaoxing was cleaning in the living room, and when she saw the three of them talking and laughing in the yard, she unconsciously secretly envied.

It's been almost half a year since I got married, and it's hard for my mother's family to even see each other, let alone talk and laugh like my sister-in-law.

The eldest brother has asked a friend to find her a job, but unfortunately there is no news yet.

A few days ago, my mother-in-law went to the cafeteria and found that she was not there, so she asked the other employees why, and then ran to the rental house to find her in a rage.

The mother-in-law scolded her for being useless, and scolded her for not telling her that such a big thing had happened, and she was furious and scolded her to the point of blood.

In the end, Gu Yi found the eldest brother, and the brothers talked badly, and finally coaxed their mother-in-law away.

In the past few days, she has not dared to go to the first floor of Linjiang for dinner, so she came to the construction site early in the morning to help, and went back to the rental house in the evening to have dinner with Gu Yi.

The sister-in-law was going to hire her salary, but she resolutely refused to ask for it, saying that it was nothing for her family to help a little.

But the sister-in-law has always been generous and benevolent, and let her carry the meat and vegetables back to the rental house every day. Gu Yi has been satisfied with eating in the past few days, and Le Zizi said that he was too vegetarian a while ago, and he can finally make up for it.

The job is not settled for the time being, but she does not dare to be idle. During the day, I help clean up and make lunch, and at night I go back to embroider and put shoes.

"Apricot Ko!" Chen Xingling leaned over and said with a smile: "I'll clean up, you can go cook." By the way, the eldest brother and the second brother stayed here to eat at noon today, and you steamed more white rice. Braised pork belly, stir-fried cabbage, bitter gourd boiled in bone broth. ”

"Hey! Okay! Zhao Xiaoxing nodded.

Although she has not been in Yucheng for a long time, she has learned a lot of cooking skills from the chef in the canteen, and she also has a certain understanding of the eating habits of the local people in Yucheng.

For a while, her sister-in-law was very satisfied with the food she cooked, and the other workers and masters also praised her for her good craftsmanship.

She does it every day, and her sister-in-law will teach her some new dishes from time to time, and she has obviously improved a lot recently.

At present, the eldest brother and sister-in-law's new house is almost ready, and they have begun to make furniture and buy furniture, and it is estimated that it will be completed and moved in within ten and a half days.

I don't know if she will be able to find a job by then, I hope to find it soon, it's not good to eat and drink by my sister-in-law's side all the time.

After lunch, large black clouds poured in the southeast.

Taking advantage of the fact that the sun would not be scorching, everyone cleaned up the yard and laid irregular bricks, some digging and others laying bricks, and they did it quickly.

I thought there would be a thundershower in the afternoon, but there was still no rain at about four o'clock, the sky was full of black clouds, the wind was blowing, but the raindrops could not fall.

The eldest and second brothers drove home on a tractor, saying that the tide was going to go down in the evening, and they were going to dig up some oysters or shells.

Except for the carpentry craftsmen, the other workers were already out of work, Chen Xingling asked Zhao Xiaoxing to pour water for them to drink, and then went home and hurriedly took the money to settle their wages.

The workers happily carried the money and pinched their cigarettes to say goodbye to Chen Xingling.

"Shout when you have a job in the future! We'll be there soon! ”

"Your big sister Chen's work, we are on call!"

Chen Xingling sent them to the gate and warmly invited them to come over for tea when they were free.

"Okay, okay! Come by all means! ”

"Lao Mo still has to make furniture for you, we'll come and help when we are free!"

Chen Xingling thanked them and watched them leave.

Zhao Xiaoxing, who was in the rear, couldn't help but smile and said, "Sister-in-law, you are also generous to them." Master Mo said, the whole Yucheng is the most generous employer, dare to give foreign cigarettes to the workers, and you can have meat to eat every day. ”
