The little chef in the era made a fortune by raising a baby

Chapter 55 Brother and Sister-in-Law Change the Roof

In Xiaojia Village, Zhao Dagang and Liu Xiumei took the key with their two children and opened the gate of Zhao An'an's house. After entering, Liu Xiumei and the children were below, and Zhao Dagang took the steel tape measure and put the ladder he brought on the roof.

He took a steel tape measure and measured the surroundings of the house, taking one side and writing down the number on the other side.

After measuring everything, Zhao Dagang put away the steel tape and went down to the roof with a pen and paper.

"Almost calculated, let's go to the manufacturer of asbestos tiles! Buy asbestos tiles for An'an, and change them when they come back."

Liu Xiumei held the hands of the two children, "Okay, let's go!"

Zhao Wen was five years old, and Zhao Yue was three years old. They hadn't even gone to school in Xiaojia Village at this age. Chen Yuzhu had to go to work in the fields. Normally, Liu Xiumei would either take her to the fields by herself, or let Zhao Wen take her younger sister at home.

Zhao Wen is sensible, not only takes good care of Zhao Yue, but also takes Zhao Yue to hunt pigweed, and raises the five hens at home until they are fat. The hens lay eggs every day, and he and Zhao Yue alone can get One, and the others, were saved by grandma.

Liu Xiumei originally wanted to keep the two children at Zhao An'an's house, but she was still worried from the bottom of her heart.

She simply took the child with her, but the child couldn't walk along the way, so she and Zhao Dagang changed their backs, and when they came back, they would just take the delivery truck from the asbestos tile factory.

The asbestos tile factory is on the east side of the town, and the journey is a bit far.

However, both Zhao Dagang and Liu Xiumei walked quickly, and they got better soon. Liu Xiumei waited under the shade of a tree with the two children, and Zhao Dagang went to buy asbestos tiles.

After a while, Zhao Dagang negotiated with the person in charge of the sales. A piece of asbestos tile was 74 centimeters wide and 180 centimeters long. Xiao Lin’s two thatched houses had a small kitchen, which was about 80 square meters. The asbestos tile needed more than 90 yuan , Zhao Dagang directly ordered [-] yuan, not enough precautions or damage during construction.

After Zhao Dagang had a good talk with the person in charge, he went to ask Liu Xiumei for money.

A piece of asbestos tile is one yuan, and 90 yuan of asbestos tiles costs 90 yuan.

When Liu Xiumei heard this, she grabbed Zhao Dagang, "Why do you want so much! I don't think An An and Xiao Lin's ruined houses should cost so much!"

The most important thing is that Zhao An'an only gave her 30 yuan, and she couldn't afford the extra money!

Zhao Dagang asked her: "How much did An An give you?"

"Just 30 yuan."

Liu Xiumei frowned, "Let me tell you! Our family doesn't have that much money."

Zhao Dagang gritted his teeth, "Didn't An An say that she is working as a chef in a restaurant now, and she will have money when she pays her wages. How much does our family have? First, take it out and buy it back. When An An pays her wages, I will let her pay it back." .”

"Zhao Dagang, you're crazy. That's your own sister. Now that you've brought it out, you're really ashamed to ask her for it afterwards! Then what do outsiders think of you, a brother, a sister who repairs a house, and don't say anything if you don't subsidize it?" I have to borrow some money and I have to get it back." Although Liu Xiumei settled accounts with Zhao Anming, she still wanted face after all.

In addition, what she thought was that if she repaired the house by herself and asked her natal brother for help, if her brother said so, she would definitely feel uncomfortable.

Comparing her heart to her heart, if she really posted the money, she would definitely be embarrassed to ask Zhao Anan for it later.

It's best not to take it out at the beginning.

These years are difficult for every family. Liu Xiumei saves food and expenses for this family, hoping that her two children can have enough food and clothing, and after saving money, she can renovate her house as soon as possible.

"I was not afraid that I would be unhappy if I sent you off directly, so I promised you that I would ask An An to come back." Zhao Dagang said honestly, "Of course I want to help my own sister. Now that Xiao Lin is not at home, I am an older brother." Help her turn over the house, and our sister will have more face when Xiao Lin comes back."

"Besides, Xiao Lin has a formal job. In the future, he will inevitably be asked for help. Wife, you should agree!"

Liu Xiumei was so angry that she stretched out her hand to pinch Zhao Dagang's arm, Zhao Dagang didn't even frown, "Daughter-in-law, don't pinch your own hand, you smack my face."

Liu Xiumei beat his chest loudly. She still wanted to make money, but she didn't make any money, so she was about to post it.

"I don't have any money, so I can subsidize your sister ten yuan at most."

Liu Xiumei said, almost crying, "What am I doing!"

"Ten yuan is ten yuan, and I will figure out the rest."

"Then I didn't bring any money." Liu Xiumei told the truth, "I just brought the thirty that An An gave me, and I didn't expect it to be so expensive."

"Then I will communicate with you."

Zhao Dagang turned around and walked back again, this time it took a long time before he came back.

"They said let us pull 30 yuan first, and then come to pull it next time. Their car is small, and they can't pull 90 yuan at a time."

"Let's take 30 yuan back first, and I will go to An An to find a way."

"Row."

Liu Xiumei had no objection now, and she handed 30 yuan to Zhao Dagang, "The children are suffering from the heat, I will take them to buy a popsicle, it is rare to come to town."

"Okay, let's go!"

Both Zhao Dagang and Liu Xiumei were not stingy with their children, so they came to town on a rare occasion, and they wanted to let their children eat something that they seldom eat.

Liu Xiumei took Zhao Wen and Zhao Yue to buy popsicles. She took the children and followed the people from the asbestos tile factory to pull the asbestos tiles back. Zhao Dagang went directly to Furong Town to find Zhao Anan.

The speed of the car was faster than the footsteps when they went there, and they arrived at Xiaojia Village in 10 minutes.

Liu Xiumei greeted the drivers and workers of the asbestos tile factory to move the asbestos tiles back to the house one by one. She also fetched water for them to drink.

People in the village happened to call it a day and go home for dinner. After seeing this scene, they all came forward to watch the excitement.

"Hey, isn't this Zhao An'an's sister-in-law? Why is An'an not at home, but you are at her house!"

"This asbestos tile is not cheap! You bought so many pieces at once, are you planning to repair Zhao An'an's house?"

"No wonder Zhao An'an likes to be a stepmother. This family is all rushing to repair Xiao Yezhong's house!"

"It's not so bad, this natal family hasn't used asbestos tiles themselves, and two small wild species can live in a house with asbestos tiles."

The villagers talked to each other, they saw Zhao Anan and his two children going out early and returning late in the past few days, and every time they either picked mushrooms or caught fish.

In the morning, they still pushed the cart out mysteriously. When the cart passed by, they could smell the fragrance from a long distance.

Some people wanted to step forward to try and take advantage, but Zhao An'an just passed by laughing.

Some cheeky ones directly asked Zhao Anan for it, and Zhao Anan said that he wanted to raise a child, he was poor!If there is nothing extra to give away, let them want it for themselves, so they can go to Baibao Mountain to pick it up.

Who hasn't been to Baibaoshan Village?But who can be as lucky as her, picking up a basket at a time without heavy bacteria!
Liu Xiumei listened to what everyone said to each other, which were all barbed and unpleasant words. She slammed the broom, pointed her hands on her hips, and cursed at the group of villagers who had no good intentions.

"What's wrong with our sister-in-law changing the roof for my sister-in-law? You bastards should take care of it. If you have the ability, ask your natal brother-in-law to change the roof!"

"I'm worthless, but I'm jealous of others. Xiao Lin is not at home. That's how people in your village bully us, An'an."
