Chapter 47: Kinship
Chen Liangxian commanded everyone to exert force, and when the position of the beam was about the same, he quickly stood on the ladder and adjusted the slight direction of the beam in mid-air with his hand.
Once the beams are lowered, they should not be moved.
And the beams must not fall halfway, which is not only a construction safety issue, but also involves some not very good statements.
Fortunately, Chen Liangxian was experienced and had accurate vision, and as he gave orders, Ji Yuanhai and the others caught the heavy beams and installed them on the gaps left in advance.
"Good luck!"
"Just right!"
With Chen Liangxian's announcement, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Ji Yuanhai's gaze swept over the wall.
There are grandfathers, fathers, Ji Yuanshan, second uncles, third uncles and others, as well as grandmothers, mothers, Lu Heling, second aunts, and third aunts who boil water and cook outside.
There are also Ji Yuanhong, Ji Yuanbing, Ji Yuanqiang, and Ji Xiaofang who are running and playing.
They all came to build a house for the era of Hai and got together.
At this moment, he realized like never before that the friendship between relatives in the countryside in this era was far from being something that the office worker who graduated from college and survived in the steel jungle in his memory could experience.
After deciding to break up, he felt this emotion, and Ji Yuanhai came back to his senses and laughed a little secretly at his thoughts at the moment.
The friendship between the relatives is thick and has a good side, but it is impossible for Ji Yuanhai to accept it all because of this, and become the "good guy in the countryside" and "work expert" that the relatives are looking forward to.
In the future, when you have spare energy, it will be enough to take care of your relatives.
Don't tie yourself up because of the warmth of your relatives and stop at one acre and three points of land in the countryside.
After putting the beams of the other room on the other, Chen Liangxian and the others began to cover the roof with their hands and feet, because the materials were prepared for many people, and most of them were able to fight, so the speed was extremely fast.
By five o'clock in the afternoon, the roofs of the two houses had been covered.
At this point, the whole house is completed.
Grandma, mother, second aunt, and third aunt brought peanuts, stewed fish, scrambled eggs, monkeys, salted meat and fried vegetables and other dishes one after another, and beckoned everyone to eat together.
Two tables sit for men, and one table seats women and children.
Ji Yuanhai took out six bottles of wine, and two cigarettes were distributed on the table of the two men.
Although grandpa didn't let Ji Yuanhai buy pork, he didn't feel that it was inappropriate to have this, so he took out the old bacon at home and fried it to eat.
Ji Yuanhai saw the old man's intentions in his eyes, and secretly thought that he would be filial to his grandparents in the future.
Eating and drinking, there are enough large pieces of fish and meat, Chen Liangxian and the other three needless to say, the second uncle and the third uncle both ate very happily, and the strong laborers who came to help pull the rope also ate and drank, nodding again and again.
"There's oil and meat, this rice is so good!"
"The fish is still fresh, it must have cost a lot of money to buy this, right?"
A master of work praised the main meal very face-savingly.
People are carrying the work to say this, obviously a good thing, grandpa felt that there was face on his face, and he smiled before he was about to say kind words, at this time, he drank and blushed, and the second uncle Ji Baoguo, who was like a monkey, stood up.
Taking advantage of the wine, he opened his mouth and said: "This money is all given by my father!" ”
"My father feels sorry for his grandson, and he has worked hard to earn money, and he has given it all to him - building a house, buying fish, and using money for everything, where did he get the money for a hairy boy?"
"It's not my dad yet?"
Before he finished speaking, Grandpa knocked on the table with a dry tobacco pouch with a calm face.
"Second child, sit down."
The second uncle's mouth was vague: "Dad, I don't sit-"
"Sit down!" Grandpa's eyes widened and he scolded sharply.
The second uncle looked at his grandfather's majestic face, and only felt a faint pain in his back cheek, as if he had returned to the time when he was beaten.
The alcohol gradually subsided, beads of sweat appeared on Ji Baoguo's forehead, and he sat down silently.
Grandpa glanced at Ji Yuanhai and saw that he didn't turn his face or get angry, and he was finally relieved.
Fortunately, Yuan Hai is sensible!
If Yuan Hai makes trouble again, he won't be able to eat this meal today, and the Ji family will have to make jokes!
Grandpa squeezed a smile on his face: "The kid below drank some wine, and his mouth was full of nonsense, which made the masters laugh." ”
"I toast you with a glass of wine, if you don't entertain you, don't accept me."
stood up and toasted Chen Liangxian and the others, Chen Liangxian and the others hurriedly got up and agreed politely.
"Yuan Hai, you also have a toast!"
Grandpa said.
Ji Yuanhai stood up, holding a wine glass and toasting with everyone's laughter.
The stiff atmosphere just now finally eased down.
After Ji Yuanhai toasted, his grandfather said again: "We are all rural people, we have no other thoughts, and we don't have anything nice to say." ”
"Just eat and drink well today, don't be polite, masters."
"My Yuanhai's house is hard for you!"
Chen Liangxian and the others were polite, and they all said that they should be, and they had to help the master's family build the house.
The atmosphere was warm again, and the guests and hosts enjoyed a meal.
It's just that no one pays attention to the second uncle Ji Baoguo.
The third uncle, Ji Baoping, quietly withdrew the wine bottle and wine glass to him, and he drank again and made a mistake.
Ji Yuanhai's father glanced at Ji Baoguo a few times, obviously a little angry.
But after all, the guests were still there, and nothing was said.
After eating, grandma, mother, second aunt, and third aunt stepped forward to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
After Chen Liangxian and the others settled the money and left, the second uncle Ji Baoguo quietly wanted to leave.
Grandpa stood up and shouted, "Second child! ”
Ji Baoguo trembled, turned around, and tried to show a smiling face, but it was inevitable that the smile was more ugly than crying.
"Daddy?"
Grandpa had a calm face: "You roll over for me!" ”
Ji Baoguo moved step by step, and moved over with difficulty.
"The boss, the third, Yuanshan, Yuanhai, you all come here."
Grandma called the ladies and children outside.
Only the adult men of the Ji family were left in the room, and the atmosphere sank.
Ji Yuanshan even couldn't help but shrink behind his father.
"Second brother, what did you say when you were working in front of others just now?"
Grandpa asked.
Ji Baoguo didn't dare to answer.
"You are shameless in front of outsiders, and your brother and Yuan Hai still have to be embarrassed! Your father and I still want to have face! ”
"Full of nonsense, what do you want to do?"
Grandpa reprimanded.
Ji Baoguo said in a low voice: "Dad, then I didn't say anything wrong......"
"That's right? How dare you talk back! Grandpa's eyes widened, he stopped smoking dry cigarettes, and wanted to smoke him.
Ji Baoguo was still not convinced: "Dad, I'm not talking nonsense, how can my brother be rich?" ”
"Yuan Hai is also a newly married child, and he has no money, in the final analysis, the money for building a house is the money you saved before."
"I've never seen this money with the third child......"
"You're a fart!" Grandpa said angrily, "This is Yuanhai's daughter-in-law's own dowry, people want to pay for their own money to build a house, and our family hasn't paid a penny, so we delayed today's day to help build the beam!" ”
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
"If you are messing around again, I will whip you to death, so that you will not be embarrassed!"
Ji Baoguo's eyes suddenly widened: "Huh? ”
"His daughter-in-law's money?"
