Chapter 286: Who Is Rich and Shakes Up?
As soon as Bai Yue was excited, his eyebrows and eyes were a little colorful, and his dark and thin face was full of joy.
He's going to be great-grandpa!
Hu Ping on the side was not as reserved as Bai Yue, but she just showed joy.
She snapped to her feet, knocking down the chair behind her.
Su Qingfeng was stunned for a moment.
This reaction ...... It's a little too big, isn't it?
He glanced at his eldest uncle and second uncle, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Bai Haoyu saw Su Qingfeng's appearance, his mouth was furrowed, his expression was a little helpless, and he quietly complained to Su Qingfeng:
"Qingfeng, you've hurt me. Originally, your uncle and I were read by your grandmother every day because we didn't have a daughter-in-law. Now it's okay, your daughter-in-law is pregnant, and we don't even have a daughter-in-law......"
Bai Haoyu shook his head, it was almost foreseeable that in the next few days, the old lady would mutter about the two brothers all day because of this incident.
Under the backdrop of Su Qingfeng, they have really become the so-called old bachelors.
However, Su Qingfeng looked at the two uncles, saw that their faces were calm, and silently turned his head to talk to his grandfather and grandfather.
There's nothing wrong with being an old bachelor.
The composition of the people on the farm is complicated, and these two brothers are picky one by one, so it is better to be single all the time than to choose one at random, and mix on the farm for four or five years.
Grandma Hu Ping also knows this truth, but she still can't help but feel a little regretful in her heart.
This regret, Hu Ping's words, suddenly increased.
"The eldest and second, my mother's biggest wish in this life is to be able to hold her grandson. It's okay if it's not a grandson, but if you have a well-behaved and soft granddaughter, it's not bad......"
When Bai Haoran and Bai Haoyu heard that the old lady had turned into Tang Seng again and began to recite those tight mantras, they only felt that their brains hurt.
Bai Haoran rarely moved his brain faster than Bai Haoyu.
The words on the corner of his mouth blurted out almost immediately:
"Qingfeng, didn't you say that you were going to find someone to repair the roof? Let's go out and find someone! β
As soon as the words fell, he grabbed his eldest nephew and Bai Haoyu on the other, almost like a wind, and immediately blew away.
Hu Ping saw that these people slipped away openly, and after a while, he laughed angrily: "These two boys ......"
On the other hand, when the old man Bai on the other side heard the news, he felt even more than eating dumplings last night, and his eyebrows couldn't help but stretch out.
He took out a rare bag, and the big front door that Su Qingfeng gave him was a little extravagant, and said with a smile, "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren." What should be in life, there should always be it. If you are in a hurry, is it useful? β
Hu Ping snorted, "Put out the cigarette." β
Bai Yue subconsciously snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, and then, when he reacted, he couldn't help but wail, "This is the big front door!" β
β¦β¦
"Nephew, aren't we going to repair the roof? Money tickets and the like, my uncle doesn't have as much as you. But the people on the farm, we're familiar with it. You just wait for the money, and I'll arrange the rest for you. β
As he spoke, Bai Haoran took Su Qingfeng to the door of a small courtyard.
In the small courtyard, there are two earthen houses, although the old Bai family is also an earthen house, but there is no comparison between the two at all.
In this small courtyard, it is neat and orderly, and there is a chicken pen surrounded by wood on the left, which looks clean and tidy.
Located in the middle of the earthen house, the exterior is clean and tidy, and the thatch on the roof is thick, which looks warm and rainproof.
Compared to this, grandpa's house is even worse than the old and dilapidated.
Bai Haoran explained to Su Qingfeng as he walked, "The family who lives here used to be a mason, and basically came to him for this aspect of the farm. It's just that every time I look for him, the family has to take care of him to eat, and after finishing the work, I have to send some eggs and other things. Our family used to be poor, and even eggs were saved every three days and kept for salt. So the matter of repairing the roof was dragged down. β
Su Qingfeng calculated, this kind of thing, giving twenty eggs is almost enough.
That's it?
He's just more than enough!
Bai Haoran stood still outside the courtyard, took a deep breath, and then began to shout in his voice, "Uncle Xiang!" Not at home? β
Obviously, it was just a small courtyard apart, but Su Qingfeng was stunned when he heard the feeling of singing mountain songs.
They are on one side of the mountain, and the people in the house are on the other side of the mountain......
I heard a loud and distant voice from inside the room: "Come onβ"
I saw a short, but short and sturdy little old man, with a dry tobacco in his mouth, squinting a slit, "What's wrong, boy, come to me early in the morning." You can't be looking for me to fix the broken roof of your house, right? β
Bai Haoran was stunned, and blurted out a sentence, "Uncle Xiang, how do you know?" β
Uncle Xiang was a little surprised as he smoked his dry pipe, "You guys really think about it?" Ready to fix your roof? I can tell you, I want money when I die, and I will take as many eggs as I have to give. Do you have so many eggs in your house? Otherwise, I'll repair your family's kang again. As for the thatched cover on the roof, let's talk about it later. β
When Su Qingfeng heard this, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he only felt that this Uncle Xiang was really unkind when he spoke.
But this is much more upright than those who have different hearts and mouths and act in a cozy manner.
Su Qingfeng looked at his two uncles without a trace, as well as Uncle Xiang who was talking to them.
To be precise, Uncle Hexiang is familiar with Uncle Bai Haoran, but Bai Haoyu, although he is smiling on the surface, when he is outside, he doesn't talk much.
Not to mention the jump that only appears at home in front of outsiders.
I only heard Bai Haoran open with a smile, "Okay, Uncle Xiang, you just know that you have work to do, and you don't have to ask about anything else." β
Uncle Xiang took a puff of cigarette, narrowed his eyes, glanced at Bai Haoran fixedly, and then as if he had discovered something, he put his eyes on Su Qingfeng's body, and a trace of light flashed in his eyes, only then he nodded and spoke slowly:
"Alright. You just have to know what you know. I have nothing to do today, I'll find a few people to help your family repair the roof, this snowy day, it's not easy to survive, you can hurry, try to hurry. β
When Bai Haoran heard this, the smile on his face became even more real.
The two discussed it for a while, and finally let Bai Haoran stay here, ready to find someone to help lay the thatch, but of course, they also had to pay the corresponding price - a lunch.
Su Qingfeng followed his second uncle and Bai Haoyu away.
Bai Haoyu also has his own careful thoughts, and wants to take advantage of this rare opportunity to get closer to this eldest nephew.
The most important thing is that he wants to find out from Su Qingfeng's mouth how his sister has come over the years.
Although it was also mentioned in the previous letter, it was different from the feeling in the text and the detailed description from Su Qingfeng's mouth.
The two talked as they walked, because the topic was more sensitive, they walked on the path, and the more they walked, the more remote they became, and before they knew it, they came to the periphery of the farm.
Su Qingfeng paused, looked at the ground, suddenly frowned, bent down, and picked up a piece of black, small pieces and small pieces, judging from the shape, it was a bit like a dirty feeling.
"It's ...... Parts for steel mills? β
Su Qingfeng was a little surprised.
How can there be such a thing as steel parts on this farm?
You must know that in the seventies, China's craftsmanship lagged behind foreign countries. For a whole generation, the production efficiency of steel mills was low, and it was difficult to quickly increase production simply by increasing the number of steel mills.
In the mid-70s, the target of 26 million tons of steel output was not achieved for three consecutive years, and it was not until 1978 that steel output exceeded 30 million tons.
At this time, steel like this, and still parts, is definitely a scarce resource.
Although this part is badly worn, it should be a piece of machinery and equipment, like a machine tool that has been eliminated.
But...... Even obsolete goods should not appear on the farm, like garbage, on such a remote road.
When he saw this scene, Bai Haoyu also sensed that something was wrong.
"We do have a steel mill not far from here, but this thing ...... It's not supposed to be here. β
Su Qingfeng and Bai Haoyu glanced at each other, quietly carried this part in their arms, and did not continue to walk along this road, but changed directions and walked back.
Su Qingfeng thought to the worst place, that is, these steel parts, they were people from the farm, who went through the door of some people in the steel mill, and with the help of the oil and water leaking from their hands, they filled their purses.
If you follow this path, you may not find anything.
But...... Su Qingfeng just came to visit relatives.
He didn't want to make trouble for himself.
What's more, he didn't want to cause trouble for his grandfather's family.
After walking away, Su Qingfeng rubbed the parts in his palm and looked at Bai Haoyu, "Second uncle, what are you going to do?" β
Bai Haoyu squinted, as if he had thought of something, and showed a smile, "Changchang Xu is a good person, he has always managed the farm very well. Big nephew, what do you think? β
Su Qingfeng's face was a little strange.
The second uncle means that it is up to Chief Xu to take care of this matter.
Chief Xu, come to life!
β¦β¦
Xu Zhongshan knew that Su Qingfeng's kid would come to find him, but he didn't expect that this was only the second day, and this kid would come here.
What I didn't expect was ...... He actually found something for himself.
"I've made a note of this part. The second child of the Bai family, you have a number in your heart, and Su Qingfeng, don't talk about this matter. β
Xu Zhongshan's knuckles tapped lightly on the table, as if he was thinking about something, "If this matter gets out, it will be discovered by you, and with the background of your family, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to mix in the farm." A ruffian like Huang Er's leper is more likely to target your family. I'll take care of it, you don't know. Anyway...... This is my duty, and when it comes to it, I was negligent. β
Bai Haoyu's face was sincere, his hands stretched out, held one of Xu Zhongshan's hands, shook it vigorously in mid-air, and said sincerely, "Changchang Xu, you are really a good person." Our farm has you, this can have a thriving situation. β
Xu Zhongshan glanced at him, only to feel that this sesame-stuffed kid might be ready to set himself up at some point.
The identity of this good person, he didn't dare to take it easily.
Besides...... The so-called "thriving"......
Xu Zhongshan tilted his head slightly, thinking of the dilapidated thatched houses on the farm, as if he could push down these dark and narrow houses with a push of his hand, he couldn't help but be a little speechless.
That's it?
Also called thriving?
As long as the identity problem of the people here is not solved for a day, it will be difficult for this farm to really flourish.
Su Qingfeng keenly caught that something was wrong in his words, and he clenched the fist in his hand, "Huang Erle, those people...... Always bothering my grandfather's house? β
Xu Zhongshan and Bai Haoyu were stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at each other, wanting to cover up this matter.
They hadn't thought about letting Su Qingfeng know about it......
Su Qingfeng only felt that his fists were hard.
Look at the other side.
In front of the Bai family's small broken earth house, there were almost all people standing watching the excitement.
It's rare to have a cat winter, there is nothing to do on the farm, and the excitement of the whole year, to put it mildly, is nothing more than almost everyone's house, bullshit.
As small as the quarrel between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, the big deal is that the widow is peeking at the second-rate person taking a bath, but things like repairing a house are rare.
Especially the Bai family who came to repair the roof today is still the Bai family, who have always been picking and searching, and they are not very mixed.
Someone stood next to him and couldn't help but speak sourly, "Uncle Bai, what kind of night road have you walked and made such a windfall, and you actually want to repair the house?" This way to make money, can't you swallow it alone, tell us about it? β
The person who spoke was a well-known ruffian hooligan in the village, and he was usually a bastard, because of his mouth, he didn't cause lawsuits, and the daughters-in-law in the village were more or less said a few words by him.
But Bai Yue didn't scare him.
He glanced at this second-rate man lightly, this kind of person, even in the current situation, he would look down on ten thousand.
I only heard Bai Yue say lightly, "There is no way to make a windfall, I have a way to suffer a windfall, do you want it?" β
The man was so choked that he couldn't speak for a long time.
Huang Lao Er watched from the side and pouted, "If you build a roof, it will cost you a few eggs." Is this a windfall? Poor acid. Don't have a few cents in your pocket and shake it. β
Before Bai Yue could speak, Bai Haoran turned his head in surprise.
He obviously didn't speak, and he didn't get angry, but from his eyes alone, the onlookers could magically feel Bai Haoran's thoughts.
Shake up?
Who the hell is shaking?
For a long time, relying on a few taels of money in his pocket, grinding foreign workers don't work, and flirting with people every day, isn't it all Huang Er's leper himself? (End of chapter)
