Chapter 24: Visiting the Neighbors
In the end, the renovation price of Tong Shi'an's house was also determined.
That's a total of 150 bucks!
Don't look at it as only 150 yuan, in this era, that's not a small amount.
What's more, Tong Shi'an just separated the room from a hall, a bedroom, and a bathroom, and brushed it with white ash water again, according to the old party's proposal, if some cheaper wood is used for isolation, it may be enough for about 70 yuan.
It's just that Tong Shi'an asked for green bricks, just because the green bricks are sound insulated and strong, so the price has more than doubled.
Counting the wages paid to the workers, it can be done for about 180.
30 salary, just this workload, only three people need to do it for 4 or 5 days, which is 2 yuan a day, the price is high, and it includes a lunch.
After deciding, Tong Shi'an directly gave a deposit of 100 yuan, and tomorrow Fang Zhengyuan will go to find a worker, Tong Shi'an will be responsible for emptying the room, and the day after tomorrow will start work directly.
Because the house was to be renovated, it would affect the neighbors, so Tong Shi'an directly carried two big silver carp into the house of the second master on the other side.
"Second uncle, what about eating scrambled eggs?"
"Shi'an, why are you here? Didn't you eat at Lao Yi's house? ”
"Ahem, second uncle, I don't have something to trouble the first uncle!" Tong Shi'an was speechless.
It seems that the second uncle has a grudge against him for leading big fish and meat to the first uncle's house.
"Second uncle, look at me, I came directly with two fish."
Seeing these two big silver carp, the second aunt took it enthusiastically, "Hehe, Shi'an, you are too polite." ”
"Well, it seems that Shi'an, you still remember the second uncle in your heart!" The second uncle also nodded happily.
Who is not happy to have two big fish for white?
"Hey, in broad daylight, what are they?" Looking at the two brothers standing on the side, Tong Shi'an asked in a friendly manner.
"They, they've been lazy all day, and today they let them go fishing, but they didn't catch anything, and they lost their fishing rods! If it continues like this, I'm afraid it will be compared with the Jia Zhang family in the Intermediate Court! Bangs glared at the two sons unhappily.
If it weren't for the guests, he would habitually pick up the stool and smash it.
"Dad, is it so easy to fish? Today, everyone is basically coming back from the Air Force, and Dong Jiajun in the front yard is still being pulled into the water by fish! Liu Guangtian was speechless to explain.
When I went, I thought it was very simple, but it turned out that the neighborhood where I went fishing in the compound today, except for one or two lucky ones who caught one or two small fish, everyone else came back empty-handed, and the worst was Dong Jiajun in the front yard, which became the laughing stock of the whole courtyard.
"Hmph, it's good that you weren't pulled into the water by a fish, otherwise with such a wasteful son as you, I would have killed you a long time ago!" Thinking of Dong Jiajun, who was tragic in the front yard, his anger fell, "Sit back and eat!" ”
"Thank you, Dad!" As he spoke, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu glanced at Tong Shi'an gratefully.
They knew that if it weren't for Tong Shi'an, it wouldn't be so easy to pass today.
"By the way, Shi'an, do you want to sit down and eat together?"
"Ahem, second uncle, no need, I just ate it!" Tong Shi'an waved his hand, "Second uncle, my house will be renovated the day after tomorrow, and it may affect you then, I hope you don't get angry." ”
"Oh, no problem, you can decorate at will, I have no opinion on the second uncle!" Bangs patted his chest and promised, "If the other people in the backyard have opinions, you let them come to me." ”
"Haha, then it's troublesome for you, the second uncle, when the house is renovated, the second uncle, you must come to my house to rub it."
"Hehe, it must arrive!" Bangs nodded in satisfaction.
After saying goodbye to the second uncle's house, Tong Shi'an went home and took a box of pastries, and stepped into the deaf old lady's house next door to the second uncle's house and opposite Xu Damao.
"Deaf old lady, I've come to see you."
"Oh, it's Shi'an! Why do you have time to see my old woman tonight? The deaf old lady's eyelids drooped, and her tone sounded a little dissatisfied.
In this regard, Tong Shi'an shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
He gave He Yushui a lot of fish and meat every week, and the deaf old lady who lived diagonally opposite the door, but he could smell the smell of food from his house every week, but the two of them seemed to have forgotten about her, the old woman, and rarely sent her food to eat, and the deaf old lady was naturally not happy.
For the deaf old lady, Tong Shi'an takes an attitude of ignoring it, and he is happy to help if there is something, but usually, it is not touching if he can not touch, anyway, he does not kneel and lick this old man who likes selective deafness.
Some people say that the deaf old lady is the most shrewd person in the courtyard and a good person, but in fact, this is not necessarily.
The deaf old lady's status as a five-guarantee household is only because she is over 80 years old and belongs to the long-lived elders in this era, so she will be given special care.
It may be right to say that she is shrewd, but it would be a big mistake to say that the deaf old lady is a good person.
After all, the deaf old man usually has a high-minded attitude that he doesn't care about himself, how can he ever help any family in the compound?
But once it comes to her most valued grandson Silly Zhu, the deaf old lady is definitely unconditional support regardless of the reason, even if she knows that it is Silly Zhu's fault, she will rely on the old man to help Silly Zhu, and she will not hesitate to bully others for this.
Among them, the most obvious and the most miserable is Xu Damao.
Some people say that Xu Damao is a bad embryo, so bad that the soles of his feet are pus, but how have you ever thought about Xu Damao?
You must know that Xu Damao has been beaten by a stupid pillar since he was a child, and the number of times he was injured is that even Xu Damao himself can't remember, and it is rumored that he is infertile, and it may be made by a stupid pillar.
And the first uncle and the deaf wife are obviously the accomplices of the stupid pillar!
Every time the stupid pillar injured him, at most it was a small punishment and a big commandment, and it passed casually, but he Xu Damao had to recuperate miserably at home for a few days every time.
Otherwise, do you think in the TV series, why does Silly Zhu not keep his hand every time he beats Xu Damao?
That's because Silly Zhu has been used to beating since he was a child, and he knows that no matter how badly he beats Xu Damao, as long as he doesn't die, he will turn big things into small things in the end.
And Xu Damao obviously knows that no matter how much he has opinions, but there is an uncle and a deaf old lady to help the stupid pillar, and it is in vain for him to be injured.
How long does it take to be treated differently before one person can be trained to beat others as a matter of course but is sure that he will not be punished, and the other can only endure the pain and suffer silently when he is beaten?
In the face of the stupid pillar who beat him for half his life, as well as the accomplice Uncle Yi and the deaf old lady, do you think Xu Damao didn't want to see them, and even deliberately targeted the stupid pillar?
Replaced by any other person, who was beaten by a stupid pillar like this since he was a child, an uncle and a deaf old lady were still partial to the stupid pillar, suppressing themselves to death, not allowing themselves to report and take revenge, and not stabbing them to death with a knife late at night, Xu Damao is already a good person.
So, Xu Damao is actually not bad, he targeted Silly Zhu, there is a reason, otherwise why wouldn't he target other people?
At most, Xu Damao is just a flower.
But the problem of flower heart, not only Xu Damao, but also the stupid pillar is also distracted, but Xu Damao is put into action, but the stupid pillar is colored and has no color guts!
The only thing Xu Damao did wrong may be to report the Lou family, but this can also be seen as Xu Damao is too eager for a child, and Lou Xiao'e failed to give birth to a child for him...
If Lou Xiao'e can give birth to Xu Damao in this life, who can be sure that Xu Damao will report his wife?
